Jack Ryan will live again, if Paramount gets their way. According to The Hollywood Reporter, they've hired Hossein Amini to pen a brand new Jack Ryan picture for the studio.
Amini is best known for his classic literature adaptations like Jude, The Four Feathers, and The Wings of the Dove (for which he was nominated for an Oscar). But he seems to be moving into action films these days, like the upcoming Elmore Leonard adaptation Killshot, and he's currently working on James Sallis' Drive for Hugh Jackman. So, Tom Clancy should be a relative breeze in comparison to Leonard, Sallis, and Thomas Hardy.
However, he won't actually be adapting a Clancy book -- Amini will be penning an origin story that reboots the character into a young man, and puts him at the center of an original story. Paramount is hoping that Ryan can become a new franchise, just »

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/9/2013 (1411 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Sitting down together as a family at mealtime is a wonderful way to hear about everyone's day and enjoy each other's company.
Some families are able to eat meals together every day, while others may have busy schedules that only allow for one or two times a week when everyone can come together at the same time.
Whatever your family's situation, try to make the most of the meal times you do have together. Avoid outside distractions by shutting off the TV and phone. Use meal time as a chance to talk and have fun.
Spark some interesting conversations by preparing "Table Talk Topics". Ask all family members to come up with discussion ideas. Print each idea on a slip of paper, and draw one topic each day.
There is no limit to the unique, funny or thought-provoking conversations you might have! For example:
• If you could have one superhero power, what would it be and why?
• Where is one place you would like to visit?
• What are three things that you can do really well?
• If you could change your name, what would you like to be called?
• What is your favourite food? Your least favourite?
• What cartoon character is most like each member of the family?
• What did you learn today?
• What made you laugh today?
• How did you help someone today?
Another way to make family meals memorable is to have a special theme from time to time. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate, just different enough to be fun.
•Fingers Only Night: Serve a meal with no utensils. Adventurous families may try spaghetti or something equally messy, but for kids, any food is more fun if you can eat with your hands.
•Alphabet Night: Choose a letter of the alphabet and only serve foods that start with that letter. On "P" night, you might have pork, potatoes, peas, pickles and pumpkin pie.
•Dinner Bar: Put out a variety of ingredients and let everyone choose the toppings they like. Try a salad bar, taco bar, pizza bar, baked potato bar, etc.
Enjoying a meal together nourishes the body, the mind and the whole family unit.
Take advantage of this opportunity to bring your family closer together, start some new mealtime traditions, and make memories together.

With a voice as distinctive and original as that of The Lovely Bones, and for the fans of the speculative fiction of Margaret Atwood, Karen Thompson Walker's The Age of Miracles is a luminous, haunting, and unforgettable debut novel about coming of age set against the backdrop of an utterly altered world.
"It still amazes me how little we really knew. . . . Maybe everything that happened to me and my family had nothing at all to do with the slowing. It's possible, I guess. But I doubt it. I doubt it very much."
On a seemingly ordinary Saturday in a California suburb, Julia and her family awake to discover, along with the rest of the world, that the rotation of the earth has suddenly begun to slow. The days and nights grow longer and longer, gravity is affected, the environment is thrown into disarray. Yet as she struggles to navigate an ever-shifting landscape, Julia is also coping with the normal disasters of everyday life—the fissures in her parents' marriage, the loss of old friends, the hopeful anguish of first love, the bizarre behavior of her grandfather who, convinced of a government conspiracy, spends his days obsessively cataloging his possessions. As Julia adjusts to the new normal, the slowing inexorably continues.
Editorial Review
Amazon Best Books of the Month, June 2012: In The Age of Miracles, the world is ending not with a bang so much as a long, drawn-out whimper. And it turns out the whimper can be a lot harder to cope with. The Earth's rotation slows, gradually stretching out days and nights and subtly affecting the planet's gravity. The looming apocalypse parallels the adolescent struggles of 10-year-old Julia, as her comfortable suburban life succumbs to a sort of domestic deterioration. Julia confronts her parents' faltering marriage, illness, the death of a loved one, her first love, and her first heartbreak. Karen Thompson Walker is a gifted storyteller. Her language is precise and poetic, but style never overpowers the realism she imbues to her characters and the slowing Earth they inhabit. Most impressively, Thompson Walker has written a coming-of-age tale that asks whether it's worth coming of age at all in a world that might end at any minute. Like the best stories about the end of the world, The Age of Miracles is about the existence of hope and whether it can prevail in the face of uncertainty. --Kevin Nguyen
Q&A with Karen Thompson Walker
Q. In The Age of Miracles, you envision a natural phenomenon that threatens the entire world. This "slowing" is global, yet you decided to focus on Julia. Why?
A. Julia's voice--the voice of a young woman looking back on her adolescence--came into my head as soon as I had the idea of the slowing. It was the only way I could imagine writing the book. Adolescence is an extraordinary time of life, a period when the simple passage of time results in dramatic consequences, when we grow and change at seemingly impossible speeds. It seemed natural to tell the story of the slowing, which is partly about time, in the context of middle school. It was also a way of concentrating on the fine-grain details of everyday life, which was very important to me. I was interested in exploring the ways in which life carries on, even in the face of profound uncertainty.
Julia felt like a natural narrator for this story because she listens more than she speaks, and she watches more than she acts. I think the fact that Julia is an only child is part of why she's so observant. Julia also places a very high value on her friendships, and is unusually attuned to the subtle tensions in her parents' marriage, which increase as the slowing unfolds.
Q. The details of how such a slowing would affect us and our environment are rendered quite realistically. How did you get these details right?
A. No one knows exactly what would happen if the rotation of the earth slowed the way it does in my book, so I had some freedom. I did some research at the outset, but I came across many of my favorite details accidentally. Whenever I read an article that contained a potentially relevant detail--anything from sleep disorders, to new technologies for growing plants in greenhouses, to the various ways people and governments reacted to the financial crisis--I would knit it into the fabric of the book. After I finished the book, I had an astrophysicist read it for scientific accuracy, which was an extremely nerve-racking experience. I was relieved by how many of my details he found plausible, but made some adjustments based on what he said.
In general, I wanted my book to seem as real as possible. I recently read a Guardian interview with the Portuguese writer José Saramago, who said that his books were about "the possibility of the impossible." He explained that even if the premise of a book seemed "impossible," it was important to him that the development of that premise be logical and rational. That's exactly the way I wanted The Age of Miracles to function.
Q. Like Julia, you grew up in Southern California, where natural disasters are always looming. Do you think this influenced you in writing of The Age of Miracles?
A. I grew up in San Diego on a cul-de-sac of tract houses much like the one where The Age of Miracles takes place. In most ways, California was a very pleasant place to grow up. But it could also be a little scary. I remember how the sky would sometimes fill with smoke during fire season, how the smoke hung in the air for days at a time, burning our throats and turning everything slightly orange. I remember the way the windows rattled at the start of every earthquake, and the way the chandelier above our dinner table would swing back and forth until the shaking stopped. I sometimes couldn't sleep at night, worried that an earthquake or a fire would strike at night. But when I think of those years now, I realize that my novel grew partly out of my lifelong habit of imagining disaster.
If I've given the impression that I was constantly afraid as a child, that's not right. In fact, one of the things I remember most vividly about living in California is the way we mostly ignored the possibility of danger. We always knew that the "big one"--the giant earthquake that scientists believe will one day hit the region--could strike at any time, but mostly we lived as if it never would. Life often felt idyllic: We played soccer, we went swimming, we went walking on the beach. A little bit of denial is part of what it means to live in California. Then again, maybe that's also just part of being alive. I really wanted to capture that feeling in The Age of Miracles.
We didn't notice right away. We couldn't feel it.
We did not sense, at first, the extra time, bulging from the smooth edge of each day like a tumor blooming beneath skin.
We were distracted, back then, by weather and war. We had no interest in the turning of the earth. Bombs continued to explode on the streets of distant countries. Hurricanes came and went. Summer ended. A new school year began. The clocks ticked as usual. Seconds beaded into minutes. Minutes grew into hours. And there was nothing to suggest that those hours too weren't still pooling into days, each the same, fixed length known to every human being. ... view entire excerpt...
Discussion Questions1. As readers, why do you think we're drawn to stories about the end of the world? What special pleasures do these kinds of narratives offer? And how do you think this element works in The Age of Miracles?
2. Julia is an only child. How does this fact affect who she is and how she sees the world? How would her experience of the slowing be different if she had a sibling? How would her experience of middle school be different?
3. How much do you think the slowing alters Julia's experience of adolescence? If the slowing had never happened, in what ways would her childhood have been different? In what ways would it have been the same?
4. Julia's parents' marriage becomes increasingly strained over the course of the book. Why do you think they stay together? Do you think it's the right choice? How much do you think Julia's mother does or does not know about Sylvia?
5. Julia's father tells several crucial lies. Discuss these lies and consider which ones, if any, are justified and which ones are not. Is lying ever the right thing to do? If so, when?
6. How would the book change if it were narrated by Julia's mother? What if it were narrated by Julia's father? Or her grandfather?
7. Why do you think Julia is so drawn to Seth? Why do you think he is drawn to her?
8. Did you identify more with the clock-timers or with the real-timers? Which would you be and why?
9. The slowing affects the whole planet, but the book is set in southern California. How does the setting affect the book? How important is it that the story takes place in California?
10. How do you feel about the way the book ends? What do you think lies ahead for Julia, for her parents and for the world?
11. The slowing throws the natural world into disarray. Plants and animals die and there are changes in the weather. Did this book make you think about the threats that face our own natural world? Do you think the book has something to say about climate change?
12. If you woke up tomorrow to the news that the rotation of the earth had significantly slowed, how do you think you would respond? What is the first thing you would do?

I got a storage locker in my name for a friend because she wanted to quickly get her stuff out of the apartment she was living in because it was broken into. During this same time her 2 yr old son was admitted into the hospital for a very serious eye infection. She was unable to leave the hospital freely being a single parent. However she was still determined to move her things out of the apartment before her rent was due (in 3 days). There is a storage unit a block away from my house and I went there (on the phone with her) to find out how much a locker would cost. After getting the information she pleaded for me to get it for her because she was unable to leave the hospital at the time. She never paid her storage bills and the account went into collections.I have contacted via Facebook, Twitter and text message informing her that her bill was due. She promised that she would pay it. Her name is on the contract and she was given a set of keys and code for the locker.

Movies: I've seen 75 of the AFI's top 100, and a great many that would never make any top lists! I love movies and hosting movie nights for friends (I was an RTF major for some time) and appreciate good stories no matter what era they were made. The movies I like are too numerous to list, but my favorite movie is Blade Runner, which I own in all sorts of formats, and my favorite documentary is Ken Burn's Civil War, which I watch maybe once a year.
The TV has returned from storage, but I still steer clear of broadcast channels, not a sports fan at all, but I don't put them down. Spent (wasted?) a few hours watching Arrow, Flash, Transparent, House of Cards, and more. Looking forward to the next season of Attack on Titan, and I'll easily get sucked into any half decent documentary.
News I usually get from NPR, BBC radio and Bloomberg's website, and after having not watched local and national news networks for quite a while, they now seem incredibly sensationalist and fear mongering, so I don't waste my time with them.
Music: Like everyone else, "I like everything". It's mostly true. As a kid I listened to what my parents listened to, Country music (think Texas Swing, Classic and Outlaw Country) and Oldies from the 50s and 60s. My older sisters' music from the 80s made an impression that stuck. In high school my friends introduced me to Classic Rock, after high school I listened to anything that came into reach and these days I enjoy seeing what the music algorithms can find for me. I like singing, and enjoy karaoke (only with friends so far!)
Food: I'd like to say I enjoy trying new things food-wise, but that's just not true. It is an effort for me to not choose a default favorite when eating out, but I do sometimes make the effort!

Exceptional Doctor
Dr. Taylor is probably the best Doctor I have ever visited, because of insurance changes I was forced to leave him after a number of years. Having a chronic condition, I knew that Dr. Taylor was on top of the situation and in frequent contact with the other Drs. His professionalism is above the norm for Atlanta. If you need a doctor, and he is allowed on your insurance, by all means see him. One of the only doctors I know who takes it personally when you do not respond well to treatment. I like that. It means he truly cares and is not just going through the motions!

Dr. Taylor is very competant, compassionate and easy to talk to. I have been a patient for nearly three years and have been extremely satisfied. Don't be tempted to make an appointment with the other internest in the office as she's downright rude.

Went to this doctor because I just moved to area. Have always had very positive experiences with piedmont hospital, so I figured this dr was the way to go. My visit was to meet him and do my 6 mo check up for adhd medicine. He immediately questioned how i knew i had adhd and then proceeded to tell me it was for young children more than adults. He did not give me my medicine which normals me out and helps me at work. He then proceeded to give me a referral to a psychiatrist at Ridgeview, a rehab center for addicts. I almost completely lost it on him for the rudeness and difficulties he has caused me by refusing to give me my medicine.

Description: Few gave tiny Singapore much chance of survival when it was granted independence in 1965. How is it, then, that today the former British colonial trading post is a thriving Asian metropolis with not only the world's number one airline, best airport, and busiest port of trade, but also the world's fourth-highest per capita real income? The story of that transformation is told here by Singapore's charismatic, controversial founding father, Lee Kuan Yew. Rising from a legacy of divisive colonialism, the devastation of the Second World War, and general poverty and disorder following the withdrawal of foreign forces, Singapore now is hailed as a city of the future. This miraculous history is dramatically recounted by the man who not only lived through it all but who fearlessly forged ahead and brought about most of these changes. Delving deep into his own meticulous notes, as well as previously unpublished government papers and official records, Lee details the extraordinary efforts it took for an island city-state in Southeast Asia to survive at that time. Lee explains how he and his cabinet colleagues finished off the communist threat to the fledgling state's security and began the arduous process of nation building: forging basic infrastructural roads through a land that still consisted primarily of swamps, creating an army from a hitherto racially and ideologically divided population, stamping out the last vestiges of colonial-era corruption, providing mass public housing, and establishing a national airline and airport. In this illuminating account, Lee writes frankly about his trenchant approach to political opponents and his often unorthodox views on human rights, democracy, and inherited intelligence, aiming always "to be correct, not politically correct." Nothing in Singapore escaped his watchful eye: whether choosing shrubs for the greening of the country, restoring the romance of the historic Raffles Hotel, or openly, unabashedly persuading young men to marry women as well educated as themselves. Today's safe, tidy Singapore bears Lee's unmistakable stamp, for which he is unapologetic: "If this is a nanny state, I am proud to have fostered one." Though Lee's domestic canvas in Singapore was small, his vigor and talent assured him a larger place in world affairs. With inimitable style, he brings history to life with cogent analyses of some of the greatest strategic issues of recent times and reveals how, over the years, he navigated the shifting tides of relations among America, China, and Taiwan, acting as confidant, sounding board, and messenger for them. He also includes candid, sometimes acerbic pen portraits of his political peers, including the indomitable Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, the poetry-spouting Jiang Zemin, and ideologues George Bush and Deng Xiaoping. Lee also lifts the veil on his family life and writes tenderly of his wife and stalwart partner, Kwa Geok Choo, and of their pride in their three children -- particularly the eldest son, Hsien Loong, who is now Singapore's deputy prime minister. For more than three decades, Lee Kuan Yew has been praised and vilified in equal measure, and he has established himself as a force impossible to ignore in Asian and international politics. From Third World to First offers readers a compelling glimpse into this visionary's heart, soul, and mind.

No Longer A S.A.H.M
So yesterday I stopped by a certain staffing corporation because my boyfriend's mother informed me that her job was hiring like crazy. I had already put in an application to the staffing company a couple of months ago, so all I had to do was walk in, tell them who I was and what I was there for and they had me do a test and sign a bunch of stuff, take a drug test, and next thing I know, I've got a job! After almost 6 months of being stuck at home with the baby all day, I'm finally back in the work force :D I will either be working near my boyfriend or with his mother (a position I would actually prefer, despite my well-known distaste for the woman) in the building next door to him.
But what about Violet? Well, we've set up for a friend of her aunt Melissa's to watch her (for a fee) while Daddy and I are at work for a few days, but we have to get her into a daycare a.s.a.p. We have one picked out near our work, and I've filled out a contact form for them to get a hold of me in the next couple of days. On one hand, I'm very excited to get out of the house every day, be productive, and possibly make friends and even a carrier! On the other hand, I'm nervous about putting Violet in daycare because of all of the horror stories I've heard and read about. Also, I've never left her with anyone I didn't know personally. BUT at the same time, I'm excited for her to get out of the house, and be able to learn and play with other kids her age.
I start orientation tomorrow, and will be thrown out onto the floor directly after. Which means that Violet will be off to stay with Melissa's friend tomorrow as well. I'm nervous and excited and... Is it really already 9 o'clock?! I need to get ready!!

Completing 9-16 passes for 164 yards and one touchdown with one interception, freshman quarterback Jonathan Wallace overcame a shaky start to lead the Auburn offense to its best day of the season.
Earning the respect of his teammates for his performance, Coach Gene Chizik said after watching video of the game there is no need to wait until later this week to name Wallace as this week's starter against Georgia.
"I think that yesterday was a game that really kind of unfolded very favorably for him simply because at the beginning of the game he started very slow," Chizik said. "What you look for in a young quarterback is that when things don't start off extremely fast or you start off with a lot of confidence in some throws and things, you want to see him respond.
"That was one of the things that I was most proud of Jonathan being able to do--keep chopping wood, keep plugging along. And, eventually, he made some really good things happen.
"I think that our team has confidence in him. I think that he wllll gain more confidence as the games go on and he gets a little more playing time. I think that the spark that he can bring to our football team with some things that he can do and obviously improve on, I think will be big as we move forward."
Short Yardage Solution
One of the bright spots for the offense in recent weeks in addition to the play of Wallace has been the running of fullback Jay Prosch. Even though he has carried the ball just five times for 17 yards, the bruiser hasn't been stopped for a loss this season. That's something that Chizik said is important for the offense moving forward.
"That's exactly what we need out of a back," Chizik said. "As I said yesterday it has been very rare to none when he has been stopped in those situations. If it's third and one or two, he's a 255 to 260-pound guy that is very good with the ball in his hands. We feel very confident that he can do that."
Georgia A Familiar Opponent For BVG:
Auburn defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder will face the Georgia Bulldogs this Saturday for the first time since leaving Athens for the NFL. With Mark Richt and offensive coordinator Mike Bobo in place Auburn should have a good feel for what the Bulldogs want to do, but Chizik said the Tigers will have to see exactly how similar this Georgia team is to the past few years when they start watching video.
"We've got to go back and see how much change there's been," he said. "One thing that Georgia's done over the years that's been very smart and very effective, is that they do things based on their personnel, who they have at strong positions. When they had Orson Charles their tight end was a huge, huge potential receiving threat. They really, really took advantage of that when they could, when they got into mismatches on him.
"They've always had good receivers with the Kings (Tavarres King) and the Malcolm Mitchells--just off the top of my head. They do a good job of taking their people and utilizing them. It's been a long time since Brian was over there with them, but for the most part their base offense and the things that they have done really hasn't changed fully. They've done a good job of adjusting to their personnel."
Injury Update:
There is some good news for the Tigers this week as defensive tackle Jeffrey Whitaker could be closer to playing this week after missing the last three games with an injury.
Jeffrey Whitaker
Tight end C.J. Uzomah also missed the New Mexico State game after breaking a bone in his finger during practice this week. Chizik said he could return later this season, but that is not certain and will have to be evaluated. That's also the case with defensive back Chris Davis, who is still out after suffering a concussion, and defensive tackle Devaunte Sigler with an undisclosed injury.
Burgess A Boost:
While he's not going to be confused for either Philip Lutzenkirchen or Uzomah, Blake Burgess got involved in the passing game with one catch for 10 yards against New Mexico State. A former offensive lineman, Burgess is someone who can add punch to the running game, Chizik noted.
Blake Burgess
"I think it helps that he's been able to be down in there where it's pretty rugged down there and blocking those inside guys and then you move him out to tight end," the coach said. "He's lost some weight to play the position so he's not as big as he was in terms of weight, but he understands the leverages and he understands blocking on the perimeter and the importance of it."

No. 12 Men's Tennis Ready for Final Non-Conference Showdown
March 1, 2011
LEXINGTON, Ky. - The No. 12 University of Kentucky men's tennis team will have its final non-conference tune up before beginning Southeastern Conference play this weekend when it host in-state foe Murray State on Wednesday at 1 p.m. ET at the Hilary J. Boone Tennis Complex.
Kentucky (10-3) is fresh off a 2-1 performance in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Men's Team Indoor Championship, defeating then-No. 14 Texas Tech and then-No. 29 Washington. UK has not played since its victory over the Huskies on Feb. 21.
The Wildcats have faced nine top-50 opponents this season, holding a 6-3 mark in those matches with wins over then-No. 14 Texas Tech, then-No. 22 Wake Forest, then-No. 29 Washington, then-No. 38 Miami (Fla.), then-No. 42 Boise State and then-No. 46 Indiana.
UK is represented well in the most recent ITA rankings, coming in at No. 12 as a team, moving up from being ranked No. 13 last week. Individually, Kentucky has three players ranked in the ITA singles poll, with junior Eric Quigley leading the way at No. 5 in the nation. The native of Pewee Valley, Ky., has been solid for UK this season, posting an 8-2 record at No. 1 singles with a 4-1 mark over players currently ranked in the ITA top 70.
Junior Alex Musialek made an impressive jump in the rankings, moving from No. 70 to No. 57 by posting two wins over highly ranked players at the National Indoors. The native of Dax, France is 7-5 in dual-match play this season, including a 6-4 post at No. 2 singles.
Senior Alberto Gonzalez is the final Wildcat in the rankings, moving up to No. 86 after falling out of the rankings two weeks ago. The native of Bradenton, Fla., is 5-3 in singles play this season with a 5-1 record since moving to the No. 4 singles position.
Kentucky will look to increase its impressive showing at home over the past few years. The Wildcats are 7-0 at home this season and 35-6 at the Boone Tennis Complex since the start of the 2009 season.
After the match with the Racers, Kentucky will begin SEC play with No. 31 Ole Miss on Friday at 3 p.m. ET before traveling to No. 43 Mississippi State on Sunday for a 1 p.m. ET match. Live stats for every UK men's tennis match are available at UKathletics.com.

I always wanted to go on a full-fledged Da Nang Tour but I first had to search a thoroughbred travel provider that would help me in every aspect for rendering me with the finest excursions. I had earlier had a chance to associate with a myriad of tour providers that were not up to the mark. I therefore had to ensure that I sway away from generic tour providers and instead rely on a setup that would render me with full-fledged Danang excursions. In other words, I was looking for an authentic specialist in trails and expeditions.
Danang travel is far more unconventional than any other ordinary expeditions. My colleague rendered me with timely help by introducing me to this specialist travel setup. The provider was not only highly ranked but was also a myriad of positive client testimonials. A travel expert that had been in business of providing clients with unconventional excursion plans for over a decade. Besides being highly rated by its clients, Danang tour stands acclaimed as one of the finest tour specialists that offered clients in fulfilling their desires to cherish the finest holidaying in Vietnam.
I was glad to have met this tour specialist as it also has tie-ups with prominent Indochina hotels, guides, transports, and such other domestic authorities providing tourists with customized expedition tours. I was glad to sight my preferred tour setup possessing a valid Operator International License as recognized by Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNNAT).
Da Nang Tour has much more to offer, particularly if you plan your trip with the help of its customer support staff. These hardcore professionals were extremely useful for me in sighting all the Da Nang hotspots but it has also enabled me to associate with the real Vietnamese community. I could travel to Da Nang and see it from the grass root level. I have never liked to travel by flights and posh cruiser vehicles. For me, travelling has to be done simplistically. It has to be you on your own finding your way out through unknown territories.
There has to be suspense in one's travel. This is what this provider rendered me. It did give me guides that could safely take through the landscapes and picturesque location. I was in unison with the staggering dark blue skies and the very beautiful regions of southeast Vietnam. I had memorable experiences that gave me some splendid moments, wherein I could see how the workers actually operated on the massive rice fields in Danang, and also the areas of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and Nha Trang,. Interacting with them was such fun!
My Da Nang Tour from this specialty provider helped me to venture on trails like never before. I could explore the joy of travelling to the finest villages in Danang, alongside its coastlines' beaches, wherein I could get a visual treat of some of the best traditional architectures and ancient towns inherent in it. It is through this specialty Da Nang Tour provider that I got an all-new tour packages in Danang that rendered me with umpteen incredible sightseeing venues and a gala time to walk alongside its pristine transparent blue-waters in My Khe. I also had a panoramic view the Da Nang city and the Son Tra Peninsular. I experienced the stretch extending from the Ba Na Hill to Tien Sa Sea Portin that in fact has been much talked about in the world along with Marble Mountain range.

The native of Wellesley, Massachusetts was also a four-time academic All-American and was originally supposed to split time between first and the mound when he came to Duke, but an arm injury in his freshman year limited him to the field.
Freiman, 23, lasted until the eighth round of the draft because, despite his gaudy college numbers, many scouts weren't convinced of his bat speed or his ability to close holes they believed were in his swing. Additionally, a fourth year senior that will need some development time in the minors is considered a risky pick.
Last year in Eugene, he put up quality numbers, leading the Northwest League with 68 RBI and 33 extra-base hits while placing second with 11 homers and hitting .336 with runners in scoring position.
This year, he is off to a hot start in Fort Wayne and is definitely someone to watch. We caught up with him at the end of spring training.
You had a very good year in Eugene last year, what did you see as the biggest difference between college and the pros?
Nate Freiman: The biggest difference is the amount of days you play. In college, you may play four or five times a week, here it is seven. You have a bad game one day the key is for it not to affect you the next game. You have to play each game, learn what you can and then move on.
How about the difference between aluminum and wood?
Nate Freiman: It's a big difference, but again it is one that you get used too.
You didn't seem to have a big problem making the adjustment.
Nate Freiman: Wood is fine and I enjoy hitting with wood. Metal is fun to hit with in college, but I'm starting to get used to it. I still have a long way to go, though.
What has been the biggest change in your game since you first signed with the Padres to now?
Nate Freiman: I've been doing a ton of work on my swing because at my size I have a lot of moving parts. I'm trying to get them all moving in the same direction. We have some good coaches and I've really been working with Torni [Tom Tornincasa, the hitting coach for the TinCaps] who will be my hitting coach in Fort Wayne.
You are such a big guy at 6'8", how do you protect such a big strike zone?
Nate Freiman: I have a long reach too, it's big, but I can cover it. Its big, but it is something that I have been dealing with my whole life. I can't go up there psyching myself out on the strike zone because then I will expand the zone.
How about defensively, how has your game changed?
Nate Freiman: In high school, first base is where they stick someone who can't play anywhere else. In college and at this level, it is a really big part of the infield. You are starting double plays, picking balls out of the dirt so its something that I have really been working at.
So the advantages are you give your infielders a really big target the disadvantages are you have to pick things out of the dirt.
Nate Freiman: That is fine. I used to be a catcher. I have no problem getting down there.
What is the biggest thing you are going to work on to improve this year?
Nate Freiman: Just consistency. I'm going to try to avoid stringing some bad nights together which I think is all mental. You have 140 plus games, each night is different.

So, have a sit for a while and lets get to know each other. Or look at the various writings on offer. Books, sample chapters of the books available and upcoming, convenient links to painlessly transfer money from your pocket to mine, random musings in the Inklings section, and much more!
I try to keep things spare, simple and minimalist. Just like my writing.

The Cabinet instructed the foreign Ministry to hire lawyers to protect at the suit of the Russian Federation
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine adopted a decree «About application of the negotiated procurement procedure,» to protect the country's interests in court dispute on the debt to Russia to $ 3 billion.RIA Novosti Ukraine

text: Biogen Idec ( BIIB) gathered investors together Wednesday to pitch the company's research pipeline and stifle concerns that its leading position in the multiple sclerosis treatment market was vulnerable to competition. A phase III study of a long-acting version of Avonex, the company's top-selling multiple sclerosis drug, will begin in the middle of the year, the company announced. The drug, called PEG-Avonex, aims to be more convenient than but equally effective as Avonex, Biogen Idec's most important drug with $2.2 billion in sales last year. Multiple sclerosis patients will take PEG-Avonex by injection every two weeks or every four weeks instead of the weekly injection required for Avonex. Biogen Idec also said that patient enrollment has completed in the first of two phase III studies of the company's oral multiple sclerosis drug known as BG-12. Both BG-12 and PEG-Avonex are important for Biogen Idec's future growth because of competition from Novartis ( NVS) and the German drug maker Merck KGaA, which are developing oral multiple sclerosis drugs of their own. Both the Novartis drug, known as FTY720, and the Merck drug, cladribine, have posted positive results in phase III studies, and both companies have already announced plans to seek regulatory approval later this year. All current multiple sclerosis drugs, including Biogen's Avonex and Tysabri, which it co-markets with Elan ( ELN), are administered by injections, which leaves them commercially vulnerable to an oral multiple sclerosis drug, if one can be approved that is equally or more effective with an acceptable safety profile.

After 25 years of traveling John and Mable Ringling began construction on the house of their dreams in 1924. During all their years of travel they had been carefully collecting some of the worlds greatest works of art and Ca' d'Zan (House of John) was just the venue to showcase their treasures.
As I had slowly toured both the exterior of the home and it's gardens sadly, I only had time to see the first and second floors as I had a plane to catch. I plan on visiting the third floor and tower in the future.
The guided tour begins in the solarium which features the loveliest azure ceiling. A foliated motif painted by Robert Webb surrounds the glorious lantern.
From there you pass through the reception room and into the ballroom.
The gold coffered ceiling features couples from across the globe engaging in their native dance which was painted by Willy Pogany.
Then it's time to pass through the red velvet door.
Oh boy was there a struggle to keep my hands to myself!
This is the interior court which was styled like the great halls found in the ancient homes of Venice, which was the inspiration style for Ca' d'Zan .
Squares of black and white marble are laid in checkerboard fashion. An English Mortlake tapestry hangs between John and Mable's portraits at the far end.
There was a pianist playing the German Steinway which features a beautiful rosewood and ormolu case signed by Mellier. My mother in law, Jane, who has toured the home a great number of times opted to remain seated here and lend her sweet singing voice while I continued on with the tour.
The coffered ceiling features Florida pecky cypress painted in the Renaissance style and a skylight of Venetian glass. The crystal chandelier originally hung in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York.
Mrs. Ringling purchased a great deal of the furnishings from various estate auctions.
This was during the time that the great mansions, such as the Astor's and Gould's, were being torn down on 5th Avenue in New York to make way for the Empire State building.
Most of the furnishings are Italian and French Renaissance revival pieces , as well as from the periods of Louis XIV, XV and XV.
Glorious Venetian glass can be found in many of the windows in various shades of amethyst, blue, rose , green and yellow. Truly a dazzling way to showcase the magnificent view of Sarasota Bay.
This is the breakfast room which features Italian antique furniture and artwork.
I absolutely adored the chandelier with it's green Venetian glass.
Here is a detailed closed up of the Italian antique sideboard.
Then it was on to the valet room, pantry and kitchen. You can see the special German silver sink which had a softer forgiving finish in which to wash the fine antique china and crystal.
Rows and rows of cabinetry were filled with fine dinnerware and everyday serving pieces.
Everything was quite modern and the top of the line when this kitchen was constructed between 1924-1926.
Just look at this darling vignette with it's beautiful ice box.
There were other porcelain sinks for washing produce and other tasks. The light in the kitchen was amazing.
The state dining room features walnut paneling. The antique chairs are covered in elaborate red velvet and needlepoint.
A plaster dining room ceiling, painted to look like wood, was done by Robert Webb and decorated with designs from unset cameos belonging to Mable.
The fireplace is a carved stone copy of an Italian Renaissance model. Over it is suspended a glazed terra cotta tondo of the Virgin Adoring the Child, in the man-
ner of Andrea della Robbia, a Florentine sculptor of the 15th century.
Right next to this room is the bar. It features leaded glass wall-panels and a bar that were once in the famous Cicardi Winter Palace Restaurant in St. Louis, which was a favorite haunt of Mr. Ringling's.
This is the hallway that separates the dining room and pub from the central hall.
The detailing on the gilded chairs is just amazing!
Around the corner is the elevator which is once again working. It has a carved stone door-frame in Florentine Renaissance style topped by a frescoed
lunette which depicts the Madonna and Child with two angels.
Up close detailing of stonework.
I opted to take the marble staircase to the second floor.
The first room to be viewed is John Ringling's bedroom which is done in the French Empire style (also known as Regency Style in Britain and Federal Style in the U.S.). I loved the gilded door and window frames.
The empire furniture is made of rosewood decorated with gold ormolu.
Right next door was Mable Ringing's bedroom.
Her suite of Louis XV revival furniture was made of inlaid sandalwood and lovely ormolu.
The bedding was fashioned by Mrs. Ringling herself out of bits of Venetian, Irish, Belgian lace she had collected on her travels.
A wonderful bit of history was that my mother in law Jane's grandfather installed all the gold plumbing fixtures in Mable's bathroom.
After Mable's passing John remarried again. This is his second wife, Emily Haag Buck Ringling's, bathroom. I loved that even the interior of the medicine cabinet was painted.
Here is a better view of the central hall ceiling and chandelier.
There are many notable tapestries that hang in the upper hall. They include on the west wall two 17th century Flemish tapestries depicting episodes in the life of Alexander the Great.
A third tapestry included in the Alexander series,"The Conqueror Beside a Pool", is on the south balcony wall. To the right of this is hung one of a known set of six tapestries based on drawings by Peter Paul Rubens, which illustrate incidents from Achilles heroic career taken from Greek Mythology.
This is also a grand opportunity to look down on the glorious furnishings in the court.
The Aubusson rug is just massive.
It might be time to once again view the 1998 film "Great Expectations" starring Robert DeNiro, Anne Bancroft, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Ethan Hawke in which Ca' d'Zan is the backdrop star.
I hope you enjoyed the tour of this truly grand home.
Tour the Ringling Garden HERE.

Research Statement Teaching Statement CV
I work with Hank Levy and Arvind Krishnamurthy in the Computer Systems Lab. My current research focuses on systems for large-scale, distributed applications, including mobile/cloud runtime platforms and transactional storage systems. Before starting my PhD, I worked for three years at VMware in the virtual machine monitor group on virtual machine checkpointing and memory management. I received my S.B. and M.Eng. in computer science from MIT, where I worked with Frans Kaashoek in the Parallel and Distributed Operating Systems group. I was born in Beijing, China but spent most of my time growing up in Columbus, Indiana. My husband and I cook, travel and occasionally do computer science together.
My "Research for Practice" article on distributed transactions is in the recent issue of the CACM.
In the end-of-year rush, I completely missed that the ACM Queue published my invited article on distributed transactions in their "Research for Practice" series. My article summarizes three recent papers – Spanner, TAPIR, and Callas – and discusses why they are important innovations in distributed transactions.
GeekWire selected me as their Geek of the Week, including a very nice write-up on me and my research.

Chiropractic Principles
It is important that you understand your problem and why we are using the tools we are using to help you heal. The more you understand about your body and about what is not working that is causing you pain, the better you will be at keeping it from happening again.
We have provided some links to some great chiropractic, acupuncture and laser videos. Take a look at them, watch them with your friends and family. Refer to them as issues arise and let us know if you have any unanswered questions.
When all of your body's inter-related systems—including your musculoskeletal, nervous and vascular systems—are in balance and functioning properly, your body possesses a remarkable knack for healing itself. This state is called homeostasis.
Stress, accidents, sports injuries, even overexertion, can cause your spine to fall out of its natural alignment. When this happens, your nervous system ceases to function properly, and this could lead to back and neck pain, headaches, and other kinds of problems. Moreover, many types of pain and disease can be linked to problems with your spinal cord and nervous system. It is this "mind-body" connection that forms the tenet of the principles under which chiropractors practice their healing art.
The two major, underlying principles are:
- The structure and condition of the body influences how it functions and heals.
- The mind-body relationship is essential in maintaining health and healing.
Put another way:
- Your body's functions are all interrelated, and its ability to heal is contingent on these interrelationships.
- A healthy body comes from a healthy nervous system, especially a healthy spine.
Chiropractors believe in a holistic approach to patient care by focusing on a patient's total wellness, or well being, instead of specific diseases, or ailments. It is this intricate physiological and biochemical interrelationship among various parts of your body—including its spinal, musculoskeletal, neurological, and vascular systems—that chiropractors dedicate themselves to exploring and treating, with special attention to nutrition, exercise, and healthy emotional and environmental relationships. When one or more of these systems is impaired, your body ceases to function normally and your resistance to disease is compromised.

I have the privilege of living in a home with other creative people. One of my sons composes music and plays several musical instruments. Today my painting "Apple, Pitcher and Pomegranates" rested on the sofa with his Mandolin as we got ready to deliver the painting to the Montpelier Art Center where it will be hung in the Instructor's Exhibit. The painting is currently available for sale, but not the mandolin!

Wellhead protection is a process of identifying and protecting the land area where subsurface water flows to public drinking water supply wells. Groundwater supplies are vulnerable to contamination from infiltration of chemicals through the soil. Contaminated water can be a public health problem, and across America water suppliers have to treat water or find new sources of water due to groundwater contamination. As the demand increases and high yield, good quality water sources become more difficult to find, it is becoming increasingly important to protect existing groundwater sources.
Community water suppliers in Indiana that use ground water are required by a 1997 Indiana Rule (327 IAC 8-4.1) to develop a wellhead protection plan. The Indiana rule was developed to meet 1986 amendments to the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act.
The overall goal of wellhead protection planning is to protect the ground water supplying community public water supplies.
A wellhead protection plan includes:
1. A map of the area delineating the one and five year time-of-travel zones to the well (wellhead protection area)
2. An inventory of potential sources of contamination (PCSI) in that area.
3. A management plan to reduce potential contamination from those sources
4. A contingency plan for emergencies
5. Public participation, education, and outreach to educate the community on the importance of wellhead protection and what they should do to protect the area.
The wellhead protection area is a physical area that is defined by having groundwater in the area that will reach drinking water supply wells within a specified amount of time. The wellhead protection area is developed by professional geologists using hydrologic mapping and computer modeling. For wellhead protection planning a 5 year time-of-travel zone is used. (i.e. any contaminant that would enter the groundwater in this area will reach public supply wells within 5 years, at the latest.)

The proposed series addresses the prevention and treatment of voice problems in teachers. Data in the literature clearly identify voice disorders as teachers'primary occupational risk not only in the U.S. but also internationally. Moreover, voice problems constitute a global women's health concern. Until recently, few reports have been available around the treatment of these problems in teachers, and even fewer have addressed the equally important question of prevention. The present studies are conducted within the context of a long-range goal to identify effective intervention methodologies for both the prevention and treatment of voice problems in teachers taking into consideration multicultural and linguistic factors. The present studies will report pragmatic data around the effectiveness of two theoretically-driven approaches to the prevention and treatment of voice problems in teachers, (a) voice hygiene education (VH) and (b) voice hygiene education + voice production training in """"""""resonant voice"""""""" (VH+VP, essentially the Lessac-Madsen Resonant Voice Therapy program). Participants will be student teachers in Pittsburgh and Hong Kong, who will be followed from student teaching across their second full year of employment as a professional teacher. The central aims are: [1] to evaluate the effectiveness of VH and VH+VP for the prevention of future voice problems in student teachers who are vocally healthy at the outset of the protocol, versus the treatment of voice problems in student teachers who already have them at some level;[2] to evaluate the generality of the findings across teachers in the U.S. and China, using appropriate linguistic and cultural adaptations of the interventions;and [3] to evaluate the feasibility of an internet-based voice exercise and reporting program as a supplement to face-to-face interventions. Ergonomic and personal factors will also be evaluated for their differential ability to predict the risk for future voice problems in teachers. The results should be useful at a practical level, and should also lay the groundwork for future studies assessing similar issues around the prevention of voice problems in teachers, in particular as influenced by multicultural factors within the U.S. The results should also be useful for future studies investigating causal pathways in interventions around these problems.
: The relevance of the project has to do with the need for data around the prevention and treatment of voice problems in teachers. Such problems are teachers'primary occupational hazard, and affect teachers within the U.S. and also globally. Moreover, voice problems in teachers constitute a women's health concern. Although some data have been reported about the effectiveness of various approaches to the treatment of voice disorders in teachers, thus far no prospective randomized data showing robust results have been reported in the literature around the prevention of them. This present series will address this gap by engaging in a collaborative project across the U.S. and China assessing the value of voice hygiene education (VH) versus voice hygiene education + voice production training (VH+VP) for initially healthy student teachers versus student teachers who greater voice concerns. Also, a telehealth technology will be refined and implemented that may have applications in other domains of voice care or speech-language pathology more generally.

Did you ever have a great boss? Everyone should have one, but not enough people do. If you're a boss, or hope to become one, or have a less-than-great boss, then this is the book that could change your career-and your life.
The following is an excerpt from the book How to Become a Great BossThe Rules for Getting and Keeping the Best EmployeesBy Jeffrey J. FoxPublished by Hyperion May 2002; 16.95US/$23.95CAN; 0-7868-6823-6Copyright © 2002 Jeffrey Fox
The great boss stirs the people. The great boss elevates, applauds, and lauds the employees. The great boss makes people believe in themselves and feel special, selected, anointed. The great boss makes people feel good.
Extending his hand to the new employee, Mr. Hart paused, and with eyes riveted on Godfrey, he concluded: "And Mr. Godfrey, we only hire first-class people. Welcome to Heublein."
If you believe that able and motivated people are the key to an enterprise's success, then Mr. Hart just taught you a lot. If you don't believe able and motivated people are the key to an enterprise's success, then stop reading and give this book to someone else.
The Great Boss Simple Success Formula
Companies Do What the Boss Does
People take their cues from the boss. The boss sets the tone and the standards. The boss sets the example. Over time, the department, the office, the store, the workshop, the factory, the company begin to do what the boss does.
If the boss is always late, punctuality becomes a minor obligation. If the boss is always in meetings, everybody is always in meetings. If the boss calls on customers, customers become important. If the boss blows off customer appointments, the salesforce makes fewer sales calls. If the boss is polite, rude people don't last. If the boss accepts mediocrity, mediocrity is what she gets. If the boss is innovative and inventive, the company looks for opportunities. If the boss does everyone's job, the employees will let him. If the boss gives everyone in the organization a World Series ring, then everyone wants to win the World Series. If the boss leads a charge, the good and able employees will be a step behind.
Great bosses understand this phenomenon. Great bosses position the organization to succeed, not with policies, but with posture and presence. If the great boss wants a policy of traveling on Sunday or practice before presentations, he or she travels on Sunday and practices presentations. If the boss doesn't want little snowstorms to make people late to the office, he gets in early the day of the storm and makes the coffee . . . and serves coffee to the stragglers as they arrive.
Some bosses lead purposefully, others innately. Whether intentional or not, the great boss shapes the organization. Because the company does what the boss does, the boss better perform, or the company won't.
