Otherwise, depending on where you are in the world, it shouldn't be too hard to find a center.
This is a good way to find a center or monastery.
Good luck!
Alobha wrote:I recommend that you visit the center before deciding whether or not to stay there for an extended period of time. While there certainly are many monasteries with a high standard, the question is how suitable the people and teacher(s) are for you (like their style of teaching, their personality etc + individual differences from monastery to monastery).
Buddhanet is certainly a good place to find out where you could go. Many places also have a homepage with dhammatalks, which might give you a chance to narrow down options. If you want to visit a place in France: I only heard good things about Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh http://www.buddhanet.net/masters/thich.htm. His main center "plum village" is in the north of France as far as i know
Best wishes,
PS: Congrats on your plans to stay in a monastery for a longer time btw! Great opportunity to practice!

If then you want to take a year off and be a dhamma bum in asia then yes that would be a great idea, there are lots of centres you could go to so I wouldn't worry about commiting to spend a year in one place or ordaining, travel around, spend as long or as little time in erach place as you want, look upon it as an adventure and a chance tolet go of your attachments.
Bagoba wrote:Also I was wondering, as I took refuge in the 3 Jewels about 7 years ago, with the Kagyupa lineage of tibetan buddhism, is that ok to try a different approach with Theravada and the Vipassana method now? Or let's say that at some point in the future I'd like to ordain, could I do it under a different tradition than the one I initially took refuge in in this life?

You mean if I had taken refuge under the Therava tradition but then wished to ordain under the Vajrayana tradition?
Bagoba wrote:Hi guys,
So here I am, almost 34 yo in May, working as a sales rep for over 6 and a half years, making good money for myself and my employers, with good health but a tinnitus problem, no kids or wife, no house mortgage, my mind still racing like a monkey everytime I sit and watch my breath, still very highly attached to the senses, still very ignorant.
For a while I have been thinking about taking a year off as a sabbatical, at 1st it was to travel the world and so on, now I'm thinking about doing it to go to a monastery in Thailand or Sri Lanka (or else?), and start taking control of my mind and my sense doors more seriously and see how that goes.
Is there a specific place any of you truth seekers could recommend me for that purpose? Could I reside in a monastery as a lay follower until I decide to either go back or ordain? Or else what's the best way to go about it?

A Cornwall and Devon weather warning from the Met Office has now been upgraded to 'Amber' for Wednesday and Thursday.
A vigorous area of low pressure is expected to move northeastwards across the UK later on Wednesday, clearing eastwards early on Thursday. This is likely to be accompanied by a swathe of gales across many parts of England and Wales which may be severe in places. The public should be prepared for the the risk of disruption to transport and possibly also power supplies.
The Met Office said: "This warning should be viewed in the broader context of the Yellow Wind Alert. At present computer models are suggesting a variety of possible tracks for this system across the UK. Hence there remains uncertainty regarding its exact track and the areas more likely to be affected by the worst of the winds. However, current ideas suggest that southwest Britain could bear the brunt with gusts of 60-70 mph widely, perhaps with gusts over 80 mph in exposed areas."

Norway's Norske Skog - the world's second biggest producer of newsprint - says one of its two paper machines at the Tasman Mill at Kawerau will close as of today with the loss of 110 jobs.
The company first announced its intention to shut one machine last September, following a review of its newsprint capacity in Australasia.
The remaining Tasman machine will continue to produce newsprint predominantly for the New Zealand and Australian markets, Norske Skog said in a statement.
Over the last four months, management had worked closely with employees, unions and other stakeholders on the detailed closure arrangements, including a mill-wide restructuring programme, the company said.
"As a result of these discussions and significant redeployment within the mill, the final number of redundancies will be around 110, compared to the previous media reports of 130," it said.
The redundancies would occur over the next three to four months.
"As is widely understood, this decision has been brought about by global market forces within our industry and no-one is to blame," Peter McCarty, general manager of the Tasman Mill, said.
The second paper machine had operated successfully for over 50 years.
"The challenge for our mill and our remaining machine is to be a low cost producer of quality newsprint and we are well positioned to meet this challenge," he said.
"We will also be looking to successfully leverage off this base to seize new opportunities that will invariably come along in the future," he said.
A spokesmen for the the union covering the plant, the EPMU, declined to comment to APNZ on the machine's closure.
Norske Skog has the widest geographical spread of all the paper producers, with mills 11 countries on all continents except Africa.

- How to Read a Study Record
This is a phase 1, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study of CCR5mAb004 in HIV-1 seropositive individuals who are not receiving concurrent antiretroviral therapy. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive a single intravenous (IV) infusion of one of four dose levels of CCR5mAb004 or matching placebo. A minimum of 10 subjects will be randomized to each cohort at a ratio of 4:1 (active:placebo). A minimum of 40 and maximum of 60 subjects will be enrolled. This study will be conducted at up to 10 sites in the United States.
Subjects in each cohort will be followed for 56 days after study agent administration. The safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of CCR5mAb004 will be evaluated based on physical examination, adverse event (AE) reporting, and clinical laboratory tests. Blood will be collected at specified times for the determination of CCR5mAb004 serum concentrations, HIV-1 RNA levels, and CD4+ and CD8+ cell counts. If CD4+ cell counts are less than 200 during the study period, the subject should be offered standard-of-care per HIV treatment guidelines that may include the initiation of appropriate anti-retroviral therapy (AVR). CCR5mAb004 pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) will be measured over the 56-day study period. Anti-CCR5mAb004 antibody titers will be assessed prior to dosing on Day 0 and on Day 28 and Day 56.

Topic: Affordable Health Care
Just wanted to say something nice about the Affordable Health Care Insurance "Obamacare"...I just signed up. Got superior coverage for almost $300 a month cheaper than I was quoted for 2014.
Now to be clear, I left my job this year and my husband is retired with a small pension, so our income is low, however, it would not have mattered to the insurance folks if there were no Obamacare. They still would have charged me the $300/month more!
I am a believer.

Somebody lost millions of dollars Monday evening that they probably never knew was theirs.
Six months after beating astronomical odds to win the Lotto Texas jackpot, the simultaneously lucky and cursed person failed to materialize before a deadline to redeem the winning ticket — officially worth $12 million, and $7.5 million in immediate cash.
It was biggest unclaimed Lotto prize since 2001 and the third largest since the game started in 1992, according to the Texas Lottery Commission.
"It's very unfortunate," commission spokeswoman Kelly Cripe said in a remark worthy of consideration for understatement of the year.
The purchaser got the golden ticket at a South Shore Shell gas station on FM 518 in League City, but likely lost it or otherwise never knew it was a winner, said lottery officials, who held their Houston and Austin offices open an extra hour in a fruitless attempt to help on the 180th and final day the prize could be claimed.
Instead, the unclaimed money, like most lottery revenue, will go to the state's Foundation School Program. That fund is the main vehicle for distributing roughly $16.7 billion annually to public schools, Texas Education Agency spokeswoman Lauren Callahan said.
More than $837 million in unclaimed lottery prizes have reverted to the state budget since 1995, although much of that has come in much smaller amounts from scratch-off games.
The state lottery system, formed in 1992 with the six-number Lotto Texas as its original jackpot game, now also includes the multi-state Powerball and Mega Millions games. The system brought in $4.4 billion in the last fiscal year, distributing $2.8 billion to winners and $1.2 billion to the state budget, including $1.1 billion to the Foundation School Fund.
"At least the schools will get the (unclaimed) money. That's a good thing," said Shawn Mohammed, 32, manager of the Shell station that sold the winning ticket.
The station got $121,000 from the state in March as a prize for selling the ticket, and Mohammed said business has picked up since.
On Monday evening, it bustled with customers.
"This is a very lucky store," said Rashad Harris, 28, of League City, who said he buys a ticket there almost every day. "This store stays open 24 hours, so you've got a chance of getting a lucky streak anytime here."
Still, the manager recognized that the luck turned cruel for whoever bought the ticket that officially became a winner on Jan. 1.
"I just feel very bad for this person, because whoever it might be, they lost out on opportunity of a lifetime," Mohammed said. "Twelve million dollars doesn't just come easily to anybody."
Gail Howard, a lottery expert and head of a Florida-based company that promises to "turn a game of luck into a game of skill," said unclaimed tickets have been a long-running problem in lotteries across the country.
Often, Howard said, winners misplace their tickets or forget to see if they won. She recommended lottery players establish a routine of putting all tickets in one place and regularly checking them.
"Every ticket should be treated as if it is a jackpot-winning ticket," she said.
In Texas, state records show that it is common for lottery winners to wait to claim prizes. The record wait for Lotto Texas was 159 days for a $3.5 million ticket sold in 2008.
Unclaimed jackpots are relatively rare; Monday's was only the eighth in Lotto Texas history. The record for the biggest unclaimed prize is a $40 million jackpot sold at Stone Creek Mini Mart in Flower Mound in 1994.
Jackpots wins are relatively rare, as well. There only have been two so far in 2014 - the Jan. 1 one that officially went unclaimed Monday, and a $36.25 million ticket sold at a Stripes Convenience Store in Cuero on May 31.
One month later, state officials noted, that prize has not yet been claimed.

How could someone just let a multi million dollar winning ticket go unclaimed?! If people are not going to check their tickets, then why are they playing in the first place? What a colossal waste!! I can't think of a logical excuse to how this could happen other then the winner either losing the ticket or having a heart attack before telling anyone he or she won.
Following the trends and patterns means following the money!
makes me grin
Sucks to be them.
All my tickets go in a particular place, every single time.
Mine too. I had written a too-lengthy reply telling about some of the tickets I had lost - blown away when I opened the vehicle door, covered up by stuff on my desk, fell out of my coat pocket, etc. but decided I was blathering on. (as I'm sometimes prone to do) Now I put them in one of those freebie blue Texas Lotto "wallets" they sometimes hand out at lottery retailers.
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. - Winston Churchill
Wow!!!! I often wonder when tickets go unclaimed if the person has passed away.
I Love Pink & Green 1908
Mike I got a couple of those blue Texas lotto wallets. I really like them it keeps the ticket secure.

I'm always misplacing things and have been trying to become more organized. I used to date a woman who was a Zig Zigglar devotee and she told me a cluttered house makes for a cluttered life and mind. I dunno 'bout that, but I have a hard time keeping the clutter out of my house. (and I later decided that woman was clutter in my life) A couple yrs. back I had gone to the grocery store, had been craving a good homemade burger. I had stopped at another store before I went to the grocery store and got home, went into my bedroom to drop off the non-perishable items I needed to put up, then went into the kitchen to put up the things that needed to go in the fridge. The next day, I wanted to make my burger, but I couldn't find the meat and I figured the sack boy just hadn't put it in with the other stuff and I'd have to go tell the manager what had happened. (had happened before, he knows me and knows I wouldn't try to bilk them out of something.) A couple days later, I realized I hadn't bought my lottery tickets and it was getting close to drawing time, so I grabbed my jacket and went out the door. I got into my truck and smelled something funky, decided a mouse must've died under the seat. Got to the store where I buy my tickets and when I got out, the fresh air was nice. I got in line with some others, but people were backing away from me and I figured the smell had got on my clothes. I got home w/ my tickets, started to throw my jacket down on a "catch-all" table and saw a plastic sack....I picked it up, opened it and nearly gagged....it was the hamburger meat, totally rotten. No wonder my jacked reeked of death.
all my tickets either stay in my wallet or I put them under my clock in the bedroom
The lottery gods have a really weird and twisted sense of humor. This is a real shame. A life-changing amount of money that everyone who plays the lottery would be happy to win, up in smoke.
I too would prefer Cersei Lannister to Littlehands.
I have one of those, too. I store my pick slips and lottery budget in those. My tickets are kept in a red envelope with a few good luck charms and a fortune cookie fortune that reads "May you grow rich". ;)
Speaking of Texas Lotto. Dang it!!!
I had all 6 winning numbers on 2 lines last night. 4 on the first line, 2 on the next. And the 2 numbers wrong on the first line were 1 off.
I pulled the numbers off LP's RNG.
Well, there's the next draw on Saturday.
Wow I've never got that close in any game
All different numbers? $924 from being a millionaire!
If the chances of winning the jackpot are so slim, why play when the jackpot is so small? Your chances never change, but the potential payoff does. If a crystal ball showed you the future of the rest of your life, and in that future you will never win a jackpot, would you still play?
2017: 0% (0 tickets)P&L % = Total Win($)/Total Wager($) - 1
Ever played the numbers on a fortune cookie slip? I love Chinese food and used to eat it often until I had to slack off the carbs. I've played the numbers and never had a bit of luck. One of the largest suppliers of fortune cookies has a plant here in Texas; not sure how their sales are going now since an unfortunate accident.

What's being said
i believe that if the way the law is taught in law school were changed for the majority of the subjects(not all) that a law degree in fact could allow law graduates to be more functional . i taught a course at the university of wisconsin law school from 1993 to just a few years ago called "the business of practicing law" and wrote a book of the same name and during this time frame i tried to get professionals,students and professors to understand that "the law" should be the subject matter specialty and learning to be a consultant with that subject matter specialty should be the way law students are taught. with those learned skills law school graduates would then be better able to interface once they get into the work force ie working in a corporate enviroment,working in a real estate enviroment working in a municipal setting,etc. I believe the relatively few highly successful lawyers who work for law firms have learned the consultative skill on their own and that in fact, has made them more successful than other practicing lawyers.
My personal take as an attorney who started out practicing for over a decade and then took to a more alternative path is that law school taught me to "think" logically and critically, with a healthy respect for historic precedent.. That sounds pretty "flexible" to me and pretty darned applicable to "dog training" on the order of what Sheri Soltes as done with it.
I can't think of another college or post-college degree that could give me these skills in the cutthroat environment that law school provided. The entire, often painful and extremely expensive law school experience has served me well over the ensuing years, and I've never regretted my educational path for a minute. My only caveat is that aspiring students need to be smart about the costs and managing those costs on anything other than a Big Law salary.
Tracy Thrower Conyers
The woman Leichter is referring to, even though he clearly does not know it, is Sheri Soltes, president of Texas Hearing and Service Dogs. Soltes founded this organization after working as a litigator for a number of years. She has written several articles on the legal rights of people who use service dogs, and has fought to improve state statues regarding accessibility issues. She works to make the world a better place for people with disabilities. Would this be considered nontraditional? I suppose. But Iâm sure she uses her legal education every day in pursuit of her organizationâs goals. That might not seem like an appropriate use of a law degree to Leichter, but people who need service dogs might beg to differ.
So the JD-holder thinks he can become a law librarian. Does that JD holder have a Master's in Library and Info Science. ? If not he won't get a job as a law librarian in many law school libraries. Just having a JD is not enough. And the firm law librarians I know may not have a JD but they do have a MLIS.
A thoughtful, honest, and well-reasoned article -- thanks.
I do not understand what you mean by this comment. Please explain further
Plenty of jobs that don't require legal educationâincluding some government positions, law librarians, and politiciansâcan be more effectively filled by law school graduates than mere college graduates, but service dog training doesn't even come close.
The fallacy of the flexible JD was clear to me a long time ago. When I graduated NYU law school in 1986 with a JD, I chose not to practice law. Instead I went to Bain & Company as a management consultant.
In exploring my options I frequently heard the trope about the JD being so versatile. I learned about quite a few non-practicing JDs with interesting careers. Most had arrived at their jobs via non-reproducible means - that's fancy for saying they had a lot of luck, which is not to diminish anyone's skill or ambition.
Even in 1986, finding a job coming out of law school that was not practicing law was hard. In my class of 300 , one other person did not practice and she returned to a career she had had prior to law school.
Like many ideas lawyers have, the flexible JD is a closely held truth but one for which I have never seen empirical evidence to support.

Click here, or on the image above, for some clips from The Astonished Heart.
Many years ago, I ran off a 16mm print of Terence Fisher's film of The Astonished Heart, written by and starring Noël Coward, for some friends in my office, and we were all struck by seriousness and intensity of the film, which has, to this day, a rather indifferent reputation. I just saw it again, and although it belongs to a different century, and a different society altogether — so much has changed — the essential veracity of the piece remains intact. I was surprised to discover that the Film Society of Lincoln Center apparently agreed, for they screened the film this past May 11th, 2012 in 35mm format; I'm sorry I missed it.
Here are their program notes, in part: "another adaptation (like Brief Encounter) from the Tonight at 8:30 cycle [of Coward's plays], The Astonished Heart also marked the last time Coward played a leading role on film. Originally, Michael Redgrave was cast as psychiatrist Christian Faber and actually began filming in June, 1949. Coward saw the rushes and wasn't happy. He decided he should play the part himself and was relieved when he discussed it with Redgrave, who agreed [. . .] Faber is married to Celia Johnson (Brief Encounter) but becomes infatuated with her friend (Margaret Leighton) [The film] is an opportunity to see Coward and his "family"—longtime companion Graham Payn and muse Joyce Carey—playing together one last time. Towards the end of his life, Coward would refer to "poor old Astonished Heart. I should love to see it again, just to see if it really is as bad as they said it was." And of course, it wasn't—it just happened to come at a time when, in England, Coward could do nothing right as far as the critics were concerned. On the Continent, it became a cult film . . ." And eventually the film was rediscovered in England, as well, and re-evaluated as being something more than a misfire.
Coward's leading role in the film, it turns out, was necessitated by the need to pay some back taxes Coward suddenly discovered that he owed; his salary for the leading role of The Astonished Heart would just pay off the amount due. Reports to the contrary, Coward had no artistic quarrel with Redgrave; he just needed the money, right away. When Redgrave was dismissed, he was paid his salary in full, thus pushing the film over-budget in both time and money. Thus, when shooting recommenced, it was done at a very rapid clip indeed, to keep the film from spiraling financially out of control altogether.
Coward also composed the music for the film, in addition to doing the screenplay, while Terence Fisher, later a star for Hammer Films, supposedly co-directed the film with Anthony (aka Antony) Darnborough, though those who knew Darnborough, who produced the film, said later that this co-direction credit was more "honorary" than anything else. I heartily agree; one can see Fisher's guiding hand in every frame.
What ultimately distinguishes The Astonished Heart is that it's a resolutely personal enterprise; even if Coward took over the lead for purely mercenary reasons, his portrayal of the anguished psychiatrist is both unsettling and altogether believable. The music is his, the screenplay is his, the source material is his, and he's the lead — introduced, incidentally, only about 15 minutes into the brief 85 minute film, which is more than 95% told in flashback. Viewing it again, I can't seen anyone else playing the role, not even the immensely talented Michael Redgrave; this was Coward's part alone, one that he created, and understood, and the results are quite extraordinary.
The Astonished Heart is out on Region 2 DVD in an acceptable transfer; you should see it for yourself; it's quite an impressive piece of work.

Yep, it's official, the Air Jordan III Black Cement will see the light of day again in 2011. So there's no "Nike Air" on the back of these, but that's a moot point, the quality is on par with the other Air Jordan III retros we've seen these year and the mere sight of this long awaited retro has forum posters and sneakerheads hollering "robocop". These have a rumored Black Friday release date, and the months in between are likely to creep by as we all wait to get our hands on this one. Fortunately, there is hope for you if you can't stand waiting, as there are a handful of pairs waiting to be had right now on eBay. Hit the jump for more photos of the 2011 version of the Air Jordan III Black Cement and then place your bid on pair from air-randy on eBay.

Pre-Season Positional Rankings
Top 50 Fantasy Outfielders, Part One: 1-25
The Baseball Prospectus fantasy team has been rolling out its positional rankings over the past couple of weeks, and will conclude the process next week. Each team member assigned to cover a position will create an initial top 15 (more for outfielders and starting pitchers) on his own. He will then send that list to the rest of the team for discussion, at which point we will debate the rankings, both in terms of each player's specific placement and the merits on which he was included in the top 15. This back-and-forth debate will yield the final list, which will be presented by the original author with notes on the pertinent players. We encourage you to bring your opinions into the fray using the comment section below.
Today, we continue the rankings with a look at our top 25 outfielders. Comments on the outfielders ranked 26-50 will follow on Friday.
Let's jump right in with the list:

Typo alert - Bryce Harper's "age 29 season" should be 20 ?
Feb 27, 2013 08:38 AM
CarGo had a breakout 2012 season and has been declining ever since? Typo on year?
Feb 27, 2013 11:28 AM
This continues to be good work. Thank you.
Feb 27, 2013 12:13 PM
Granderson didnt make top 25 due to injury? or his declining skill set? Do you think its plausible for Beltran to miss a cumulative month before seasons end?
Feb 27, 2013 14:10 PM
Correct on Granderson. I initially had him at #19, now with the injury I'd drop him to around 35th. I'm not sure exactly what you're asking regarding Beltran, but I'd expect about 130 games from him this year.
Feb 27, 2013 16:32 PM
Sorry for being vague, if granderson misses 30 games hestill gets to the 130 mark, i find it hard that 138 games from beltean are > than 130 from granderson... But that's why u get paid the big bucks.
Feb 27, 2013 20:18 PM
Granderson is reportedly on a 10-week timetable, so if you count the days to the t, yes he'd come back on May 1st and miss just one month. Complications and setbacks do occur frequently enough however, that I'd say mid-May is a more appropriate guess for his return date. Either way, I agree about 125-130 games is what I'd expect from both Beltran and Grandy. The difference is, Granderson is guaranteed to miss his 30 or so games, whereas Beltran could potentially play in 150 games. So the 130 game estimation for the two players isn't equal in that regard. This of course speaks nothing of what you expect from them when on the field, but given equal playing time, I don't see such a dramatic difference in their production.
Feb 27, 2013 20:59 PM
I'm stuck with garnderson for 1 more year but a can plan pre draft for his replacement, I will be more aggresive during the auction on Eaton or settle on Carter for april stats and have a plan. If i get caught up in middle of season on a DL stint with Beltran or he misses two games here two games there it will be harder to plan for it and the impact on H2H leagues will be greater. Either way thank you and great list!

Twins ignore service time in decision to start Hicks
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Minnesota's announcement that Aaron Hicks will start in center field proved service time played no role in the decision on how to handle the 23-year-old.
The Twins could have started Hicks, who has yet to play above the Double-A level, at Triple-A Rochester to delay his service time in the Majors. Based on service-time rules, the Twins could have pushed back his free agency a year by keeping him in the Minors for about a month.
Instead, the Twins announced Sunday that Hicks will be the starting center fielder, as he beat out Darin Mastroianni and Joe Benson for the job by hitting .353 with four homers, 16 RBIs, 16 runs and three stolen bases this spring.
"The guy has earned it," general manager Terry Ryan said. "I find it almost humorous that guys are talking service time and starting the clock. The guy has earned it."
Ryan said the Twins have never held a player back for service-time reasons since he took over as general manager in 1994. He said it wouldn't be fair to the player or his teammates if they deserved a roster spot.
"Can you imagine if we sent somebody out who did what the kid did?" Ryan said. "And I had to look at [Josh] Willingham, [Justin] Morneau, [Glen] Perkins, [Joe] Mauer and those guys who are trying to win, and I'm going to stop that guy? I just don't believe in that."

Delmon returns to outfield action in Clearwater
ATLANTA -- Delmon Young is back in the outfield, but his timetable to join the Phillies remains unclear.
Young, who is recovering from right ankle surgery, played in extended spring training games Tuesday and Wednesday in Clearwater, Fla. They were his first games in the outfield.
"He's still got a little bit of a gimp," Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "But he's running a little bit smoother. I haven't seen the stuff for today, but just looking at some of the film from yesterday, he's moving better.
"That's probably right. He's seen a lot of live action hitting-wise, because we're getting him a lot of at-bats. He's getting at least five a day. So he's seeing pitches, and that helps. He's not 100 percent, but he's progressing more each day, it seems like. Don't really have a timetable on him. We'll see."

Tallahassee, FL - Each flicker of light represented someone who was killed at the hands of someone they loved.
The names of those who lost their lives since last October were read, one by one, at this year's Domestic Violence Awareness event at Tom Brown Park, hosted by Refuge House.
"This is the 25th anniversary year of Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October," said Meg Baldwin with Refuge House.
The purpose of the event is to remind the public of the lives lost to domestic violence. There were various speakers, singers and toward the end of the two hour event, survivors who chose to, stood in front of the crowd of lit candles and shared their stories.
Everyone sitting in the crowd, underneath the floating white and purple balloons were reminded of the statistics. They were reminded that everyday in the U.S. more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends. They were reminded that it takes a woman seven attempts before she will actually leave an abuser. And they were reminded that domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to a woman, more than car accidents, muggings and rapes combined.
But to the group sitting and listening at Tom Brown Park, the victims and survivors are more than just a statistic. They sat in the seats next to them, and they were represented by the lit candles they held in their hands. They served as reminders that the issue of domestic violence is worth fighting against.
If you or someone you know may be the victim of domestic violence, contact the Refuge House help hotline. That number is 850-681-2111. For more information you can also visit their website, www.refugehouse.com.
Tallahassee, FL - More than 3,000 domestic violence calls were made to Refuge House in the big bend just in the past year.
Tonight, Refuge House is hosting an event in honor of October being national domestic violence awareness month.
Refuge House will host a candlelight vigil for domestic violence victims tonight at Tom Brown Park.
Refuge House alone has answered more than 3,000 calls of domestic violence.
Also in this past year, they've taken more than 880 sexual assault calls, and more than 500 women, children and men sought safety in their emergency shelters.
Close to 60 had to use their transitional housing, and more than 100 rape victims received counseling from them.
National stats show that every 9 seconds a woman in the US is assaulted or beaten.
That amounts to about 200 times just during the course of this newscast.
Organizers with Refuge House say that's, of course, one too many.

Google ( GOOG) reported fourth-quarter results that beat Wall Street estimates. A key metric of advertising, cost-per-click (CPC), also improved for Google, leading some to think mobile is now making money. For the fourth quarter, Google earned $10.65 a share on $11.3 billion in revenue, excluding traffic acquisition costs (TAC). With TAC, Google generated $14.42 billion in sales, up 36% year on year, according to CEO Larry Page. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected Google to earn $10.49 a share on $12.3 billion in revenue. Google's Mobile Miracle Cost-per-click (CPC) fell 6% year over year but actually rose 2% sequentially, alleviating some of Wall Street's biggest concerns. The fear about Google is that, going forward, it could struggle to monetize mobile, Deutsche Bank analyst Ross Sandler noted. The analyst, however, highlighted Google's accelerating U.K. mobile revenue as evidence this may not be the case. Google shares soared this week, gaining 1.8% to close at $753.67.
Another tech titan, Microsoft ( MSFT), also reported quarterly results this week. The Redmond, Wash.-based firm earned 76 cents a share on a GAAP basis during its fiscal second quarter, generating $21.46 billion in revenue. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were expecting 75 cents a share on $21.5 billion in revenue. There were also rumors this week that Microsoft could potentially take a stake in Dell ( DELL), should the PC-maker go private. CNBC's David Faber reported that Microsoft may invest anywhere between $1 billion and $3 billion as part of a private-equity bid for Dell. The investment would be mezzanine financing, which is defined as financing in the form of debt that converts to equity should the debt not be paid back on time and in full. Shares of Microsoft closed the week sharply higher, gaining 3.9% to finish at $27.88.
IBM ( IBM), another tech giant reporting this week, beat estimates, as software boosted results. Big Blue reported revenue of $29.3 billion, earning $5.39 a share. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were looking for $29.09 billion in sales and earnings of $5.25 a share. Software revenue increased 3% (or 4% adjusted for currency) to $7.9 billion. For fiscal 2013, IBM expects to earn at least $16.70 a share. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected earnings of $16.63 a share. Shares of IBM closed the week higher, tacking on 5.4% to finish at $204.97.
Netflix ( NFLX) also reported earnings this week, beating Wall Street expectations and sending the stock soaring. For the fourth quarter, Netflix earned 13 cents a share on $945 million in revenue. Wall Street was looking for a loss of 13 cents a share on $934.5 million in sales. Netflix gave guidance for its fiscal 2013 first quarter, saying it expects to earn anywhere between 0 and 23 cents a share. Estimates called for a loss of 7 cents a share. Shares of Netflix soared this week, gaining a whopping 67% to finish up at $169.56.

A Study in Scarletby Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Anne Perry
Doctor Watson, returned fresh from Afghanistan with an injured arm and shattered nerves from illness, moves to London on a pension. He is most introduced to Sherlock Holmes, with whom he rooms for some time. He is skeptical about Holmes' self professed deductive powers, and so Holmes allows him to tag along on a case that the police cannot solve. Needless to say, Holmes thoroughly impresses Watson with his deductive powers, and promises to keep records of all of Holmes' cases so that his excellent detecting doesn't go unrewarded. The first part of A Study in Scarlet leads to the arrest of the murderer, and the second part provides the story of the murderer's life and motives, previously unexplained. Part two takes the listener across the ocean to the original settlement of Salt Lake City in Utah, and a story of hardship, love, greed, Mormons, and revenge, and then back to London to sort out the explanations.
Acceptable Lossby Anne Perry
"Give her a good murder and a shameful social evil," The New York Times Book Review once declared, "and Anne Perry can write a Victorian mystery that would make Dickens's eyes pop." And Perry's new William and Hester Monk story, a mesmerizing masterpiece of innocence and evil on London's docks, outshines all her previous novels in this successful and beloved series.When the body of a small-time crook named Mickey Parfitt washes up on the tide, no one grieves; far from it. But William Monk, commander of the River Police, is puzzled by the expensive silk cravat used to strangle Parfitt. How did this elegant scarf--whose original owner was obviously a man of substance--end up imbedded in the neck of a wharf rat who richly deserved his sordid end?Dockside informers lead Monk to what may be a partial answer--a floating palace of corruption on the Thames managed by Parfitt, where a captive band of half-starved boys are forced to perform vile acts for men willing to pay a high price for midnight pleasures. Although Monk and his fearless wife, Hester, would prefer to pin a medal on Parfitt's killer, duty leads them in another direction--to an unresolved crime from the past, to blackmail and more murder, and to a deadly confrontation with some of the empire's most respected men.To a superlative degree, Acceptable Loss provides colorful characters, a memorable portrait of waterfront life, and a story that achieves its most thrilling moments in a transfixed London courtroom, where Monk faces his old friend Oliver Rathbone in a trial of nearly unbearable tension--in sum, every delectable drop of the rich pleasure that readers expect from an Anne Perry novel.From the Hardcover edition.

The Angel Court Affair: A Charlotte and Thomas Pitt Novelby Anne Perry
In New York Times bestselling author Anne Perry, the glorious era when Britain reigned supreme has found its most brilliant modern interpreter. Perry's gripping new Charlotte and Thomas Pitt novel invites us back to Victorian London, where greed and ambition never sleep, and passion sometimes runs riot. As the nineteenth century draws to a close, most of Europe is in political turmoil, and terrorist threats loom large across the continent. Adding to this unrest is the controversial Sofia Delacruz, who has come to London from Spain to preach a revolutionary gospel of love and forgiveness that many consider blasphemous. Thomas Pitt, commander of Special Branch, is charged with protecting Sofia--and shielding Her Majesty's government from any embarrassment that this woman, as beautiful as she is charismatic, might cause. When Sofia suddenly vanishes and two of her female disciples are gruesomely murdered, Pitt is challenged as never before. Is Sofia's cousin, wealthy banker Barton Hall, somehow involved? And why has handsome cricket star Dalton Teague insinuated himself into Pitt's investigation? Fearful that this sensational crime may trigger an international incident, Pitt welcomes the help of three allies: his clever wife, Charlotte; her great-aunt, Lady Vespasia; and Victor Narraway, Pitt's friend and former commander at Special Branch. From the narrow streets of Toledo and a lonely monastery high in the hills of Spain, to the halls and wharves of London, Pitt and his friends race against time in their desperate bid to catch a murderer. Anne Perry is the acknowledged mistress of Victorian intrigue. No one else can match her period flavor, her all-too-human characters, or her haunting truths, which speak so clearly to our own time. The Angel Court Affair may be the best of all the beloved Thomas Pitt novels.Praise for The Angel Court Affair "Brilliant, heart-warming . . .

Angels in the Gloomby Anne Perry
With this latest entry in a bestselling series that evokes all the passion and heroism of history's most heartbreaking conflict-the war that was meant to end all wars-Anne Perry adds new luster to her worldwide reputation.Angels in the Gloom is an intense saga of love, hate, obsession, and murder that features an honorable English family-brothers Joseph and Matthew Reavley and their sisters, Judith and Hannah.In March 1916, Joseph, a chaplain at the front, and Judith, an ambulance driver, are fighting not only the Germans but the bitter cold and the appalling casualties at Ypres. Scarcely less at risk, Matthew, an officer in England's Secret Intelligence Service, fights the war covertly from London. Only Hannah, living with her children in the family home in tranquil Cambridgeshire, seems safe.Appearances, however, are deceiving. By the time Joseph returns home to Cambridgeshire, rumors of spies and traitors are rampant. And when the savagely brutalized body of a weapons scientist is discovered in a village byway, the fear that haunts the battlefields settles over the town-along with the shadow of the obsessed ideologue who murdered the Reavleys' parents on the eve of the war. Once again, this icy, anonymous powerbroker, the Peacemaker, is plotting to kill.Perry's kaleidoscopic new novel illuminates an entire world, from the hell of the trenches to the London nightclub where a beautiful Irish spy plies her trade; from the sequestered laboratory where a weapon that can end the war is being perfected to the matchless glory of the English countryside in spring. Steeped in history and radiant with truth, Angels in the Gloom is a masterpiece that warms the heart even as it chills the blood.From the Hardcover edition.

For the first time in one cozy volume: Anne Perry's first two Christmas novels–yuletide offerings full of holiday magic... and murder. "One of the best books to brighten the joyous season."– USA Today "This brief work has an almost Jamesian subtlety...[A]powerful message of responsibility and redemption."– The Wall Street Journal In the Berkshire countryside, family and guests have gathered for a delicious weekend fête surrounded by roaring fires and candlelight. It's scarcely the setting for misfortune, and no one–not even that clever budding sleuth Lady Vespasia Cumming-Gould–anticipates the tragedy that is to darken this holiday house party. A Christmas Visitor: "Satisfyingly dark and suspenseful."– Entertainment Weekly "Wondrous . . . a welcome entry to the seasonal thriller."– Richmond Times-Dispatch At the Dreghorn family reunion, the tranquility of a snowbound English estate is shattered by what an apparently accidental death.

Anne Perry's Christmas Crimesby Anne Perry
'Tis the season for a pair of Christmas novels that add a dash of murder to the Yuletide spirit. "Perry's Victorian-era holiday mysteries [are] an annual treat."--The Wall Street Journal A CHRISTMAS HOMECOMING "Could have been devised by Agatha Christie . . . [Anne Perry is] a modern master."--Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Charlotte Pitt's mother, Caroline, is spending the holiday with her young husband, Joshua Fielding, in Whitby, the fishing village where Dracula first touches English soil in Bram Stoker's sensational novel. Joshua has arranged to produce a stage adaptation of Dracula, written by the daughter of millionaire Charles Netheridge, but tempers flare after a disastrous first read-through of the script. As wind and snow swirl around Netheridge's lonely hilltop mansion, a black-cloaked stranger emerges from the storm. At the same time, a brooding evil makes itself felt, and instead of theatrical triumph, there is murder--shocking and terrifying. A CHRISTMAS GARLAND "In Anne Perry's gifted hands, the puzzle plays out brilliantly."--Greensboro News & Record The year is 1857, soon after the violent Siege of Cawnpore, and India is in the midst of rebellion. In the British garrison, a guard is killed, a prisoner escapes, and a luckless medical orderly named John Tallis is arrested as an accomplice simply because he was the only soldier unaccounted for when the crimes were committed. Though chosen to defend Tallis, young Lieutenant Victor Narraway is not encouraged to try very hard. His superiors merely want a show trial. But inspired by a simple Christmas garland, and his own stubborn faith in justice, Narraway is determined to figure out the truth, despite the appalling odds. In an alien world haunted by massacre, he is the accused man's only hope.

Two holiday novels provide the perfect combination of mystery and murder mixed with a generous helping of Yuletide cheer.

A CHRISTMAS SECRET Dominic Corde is thrilled to "fill the robe" as substitute vicar in the village of Cottisham while the Reverend Wynter is away on a Christmas holiday. Upon arrival, Dominic and his wife, Clarice, wonder how they will be received by the congregation. But the Cordes soon discover that they have more dire matters to worry about. It turns out that the Reverend Wynter isn't on holiday at all–and that something very sinister has transpired.
Anne Perry's Christmas Vigilby Anne Perry
IN THESE TWO HOLIDAY MYSTERIES SET IN VICTORIAN LONDON, CHRISTMAS COMES WITH A HELPING OF MAGIC AND MURDER. A CHRISTMAS PROMISE Three days before Christmas, in London's East End, thirteen-year-old Gracie Phipps encounters eight-year-old Minnie Maude Mudway, freezing and alone. Only the day before, someone murdered Minnie Maude's Uncle Alf and made off with his rag-and-bones cart--as well as with Charlie, the beloved donkey who pulled it. Now, Grace and Minnie Maude set off to rescue Charlie. But the path that Uncle Alf had taken to his death was not his regular route, and in his cart, the children are told, was a dazzling golden casket that could very well be a Pandora's box of evil or a shining prize of hope. A CHRISTMAS ODYSSEY Ten days before Christmas, James Wentworth feels not joy but grief. His reckless son, Lucien, has been lured into a world of drugs and wild passion. Wentworth's only hope, he believes, is his old friend Henry Rathbone, who volunteers to search for the wayward young man with the help of two new companions--Squeaky Robinson, a reformed brothel-keeper, and Crow, a mysterious slum doctor. As this odd trio gathers clues about Lucien's disappearance on London's dark streets, they find themselves on a mission whose outcome they cannot begin to guess.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Anne Perry's Merry Mysteriesby Anne Perry
CHRISTMAS COMES TWICE THIS YEAR WITH A PAIR OF DELICIOUS VICTORIAN MYSTERIES SET ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ATLANTIC. A Christmas Hope "Very much recommended . . . a wonderful story."--Historical Novel Review Claudine Burroughs dreads the holiday season. She feels she has nothing in common with her circle of wealthy, status-minded friends, and the only time she's remotely happy is when she is volunteering at a women's clinic, a job her husband strongly disapproves of. When Claudine meets a charming poet at a Yuletide gala, her spirits are finally lifted--until he is accused of killing a fellow guest. Believing in his innocence, Claudine vows to do her utmost to help. But it seems that hypocritical London society would rather send an innocent man to the gallows than expose the shocking truth about one of their own. A New York Christmas "A perfect present for [Anne Perry's] readers."--RT Book Reviews Jemima Pitt, the daughter of Thomas Pitt, head of Britain's Special Branch, is crossing the Atlantic for the first time. Her companion, Delphinia Cardew, is to marry in a grand Manhattan affair that will join together two fabulously wealthy families. But a shadow darkens the occasion: Missing from the festivities is Delphinia's disgraced mother--and the groom's charismatic brother has asked Jemima to help him find her and forestall the scandal that will surely follow if the prodigal parent turns up at the wedding. From Hell's Kitchen to Fifth Avenue, from the Lower East Side to Central Park, Jemima trudges through snowy streets, asking questions but getting few answers--and never suspecting that she is walking into mortal danger.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Anne Perry's Silent Nights: Two Victorian Christmas Mysteriesby Anne Perry
Here are two holiday mysteries set in remote, snow-covered regions of Victorian Britain–where the nights are indeed silent but all is not calm, and where some will sleep in eternal peace. A CHRISTMAS BEGINNING While spending Christmas on the island of Anglesey off the coast of Wales, Superintendent Runcorn of Scotland Yard, a lonely bachelor, stumbles upon the lifeless body of the vicar's younger sister in the village churchyard. Everyone insists that only a stranger to the island could have committed the heinous crime, but the evidence proves otherwise. Intending to uncover the identity of the ruthless killer, Runcorn never dreams that the case may also, miraculously, open the door to a new future for himself. A CHRISTMAS GRACE With Christmas just around the corner, Thomas Pitt's sister-in-law, Emily Radley, is suddenly called from London to be with her dying aunt on the western coast of Ireland. Emily soon discovers that painful memories of an unsolved murder haunt the lonely Irish town and sets out to unmask the culprit. When a lone shipwreck survivor washes up onshore, he brings with him not only the key to solving the terrible crime but the opportunity for the townspeople to make peace with the past–and with one another.
Los asesinatos de Bethelem Roadby Anne Perry
"El inspector Thomas Pitt recibió la llamada en su casa a la una y cinco de la madrugada, y a la una y media se encontraba en el extremo sur de Westminster Bridge a la fría intemperie, mirando el cadáver de un hombre de mediana edad vestido con un elegante abrigo negro y un sombrero de seda. Estaba atado por el cuello a una farola mediante una bufanda blanca. Tenía un corte profundo en la garganta; la yugular estaba cercenada y la camisa empapada de sangre..." El asesinato de tres miembros del gobierno hace cundir el pánico, y el célebre investigador de Scotland Yard deberá enfrentarse a uno de los casos más espinosos de su carrera...

At Some Disputed Barricade: 1917 (World War One #4)by Anne Perry
Anne Perry's gift for illuminating the heart's deepest secrets shines through in her bestselling series of World War I novels. With compelling immediacy, she depicts the struggles of men and women torn by their convictions and challenged by the perils of war. July 1917. Joseph Reavley, a chaplain, and his sister, Judith, an ambulance driver, are bone-weary as they approach the fourth year of the conflict; the peace of the English countryside seems a world away. On the Western Front, the Battle of Passchendaele has begun, and among the many fatalities from Joseph's regiment is the trusted commanding officer, who is replaced by a young major whose pompous incompetence virtually guarantees that many good soldiers will die needlessly. But soon he, too, is dead-killed by his own men. Although Joseph would like to turn a blind eye, he knows that he must not. Judith, however, anguished at the prospect of courts-martial and executions for the twelve men arrested for the crime, has no such inhibitions and, risking of her own life, helps all but one of the prisoners to escape. Back in England, Joseph and Judith's brother, Matthew, continues his desperate pursuit to unmask the sinister figure known as the Peacemaker-an obsessed genius who has committed murder and treason in an attempt to stop Britain from winning the war. As Matthew trails the Peacemaker, Joseph tracks his comrades through Switzerland and into enemy territory. His search will lead to a reckoning pitting courage and honor against the blind machinery of military justice. At Some Disputed Barricadeis an Anne Perry masterpiece-brilliant, surprising, and unforgettable. From the Hardcover edition.

Bethlehem Roadby Anne Perry
When Members of Parliament are murdered crossing Westminster Bridge, Thomas and Charlotte Pit must sift through the many suspects to find the killer--before he strikes again In the few minutes it takes to cross Westminster Bridge, Sir Lockwood Hamilton has his throat slit and is tied securely to the lamppost with his evening scarf. The killer then vanishes without being seen. Inspector Thomas Pitt thinks the motive might have been personal . . . or political. When a second Member of Parliament is murdered in the same way, politics appear to be the reason. Soon the suspect list includes anarchists and suffragettes. Public outrage mounts and fear grips London and Parliament after a third lamppost murder. Deep in his end of the investigation, Pitt must rely on his wife, Charlotte, and Great-aunt Vespasia to explore the drawing rooms of the upper class for clues to the mystery. With burning social issues swirling around them, the three of them must solve the case before another MP falls victim to the Westminster cutthroat.
Blind Justiceby Anne Perry
For a generation, Anne Perry's New York Times bestselling novels have invited readers to explore the brilliantly seductive heart of Victorian London, where great wealth and great evil live side by side, and great men sometimes make unfortunate choices. In Perry's stunning new novel, Hester Monk, the wife of William Monk, commander of the Thames River Police, questions the finances of a London church whose members' hard-earned charitable gifts appear to have ended up in the pocket of charismatic preacher Abel Taft, paying for his fine home and the stylish outfits of his wife and daughters. Taft is accused of extortion, and brilliant barrister Oliver Rathbone, newly appointed a judge, is chosen to preside over his trial. It seems clear that Taft is indeed guilty. However, at the last second, the defense produces a witness who completely undermines the charges. Then Rathbone makes a well-meaning but reckless move that could ruin his career, his reputation, and his life. Blind Justice presents a rich and lively panorama of London life, from the teeming Thames docks to the wealthy West End, while unfolding a magnificent courtroom drama. And while justice, law, and morality hang in the balance, Hester and Monk race to save their distinguished friend Rathbone from disgrace. The incomparable art of Anne Perry grips us fast until the final, unforgettable scene.

Blood on the Waterby Anne Perry
As her New York Times bestselling novels always remind us, Anne Perry is a matchless guide to both the splendor and the shame of the British Empire at the height of its influence. In her twentieth William Monk mystery, she brings us to London's grand Mayfair mansions, where the arrogant masters of the Western world hold sway--and to the teeming Thames waterfront, where one summer afternoon, Monk witnesses the horrifying explosion of the pleasure boat Princess Mary, which sends to their deaths nearly two hundred merrymakers. The tragedy is no accident. As commander of the River Police, Monk should handle the case, but the investigation is turned over to the commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. An Egyptian man is swiftly caught, tried, and sentenced to die. But almost as quickly, Monk presents evidence that Habib Beshara, though a nasty piece of work, was elsewhere at the time of the blast. The investigation, now in complete disarray, is hastily turned over to Monk. Is the crime connected with the soon-to-be-opened Suez Canal, which will enormously benefit wealthy British shipping companies? Or did all of those innocent people drown to ensure the death of just one? How did the bomber board the ship, and how did he manage to escape? Is he an anarchist or a madman? Backed up by his astute wife, Hester, and his old reliable friend Oliver Rathbone, Monk vows to find answers--but instead finds himself treading the dangerous waters of international intrigue, his questions politely turned aside by a formidable array of the powerful and privileged. Events twist and turn like the Thames itself, leading to the shattering moment when Monk realizes, perhaps too late, that he is the next target. Praise for Anne Perry and her William Monk novels Blind Justice "Ranks among the best . . . Perry has written. Her courtroom scenes have the realism of Scott Turow."--Huntington News A Sunless Sea "Anne Perry's Victorian mysteries are marvels."--The New York Times Book Review Acceptable Loss "Masterful storytelling and moving dialogue."--The Star-Ledger Execution Dock "[An] engrossing page-turner . . .

Bluegate Fieldsby Anne Perry
Thomas and Charlotte Pitt must discover the truth of a young gentleman's sordid murder--or an innocent man will hang The naked body of an aristocratic youth turns up in the sewers beneath Bluegate Fields, one of London's most notorious slums. But Arthur Waybourne had been drowned in his bath, not in the Thames. More shocking still was that the boy had been sexually violated and infected with syphilis before he was murdered. Despite Inspector Thomas Pitt's efforts to fully investigate the crime, the family closes ranks, stonewalling Pitt, leaving him to wonder what they are hiding. All evidence points to Arthur's tutor, Jerome, as the murderer. The courts agree and Jerome is sentenced to hang. Pitt and his wife, Charlotte, don't believe the answer is so simple. But if not Jerome, then who molested and infected the boy? To learn the truth, Charlotte uses her familiarity with the upper classes to draw aside the curtain of lies, while Pitt defies his superior and the boy's family to follow a trail that leads him into the foulest streets of London through a web of deceit involving male prostitution and pedophilia. In a race against time, Thomas and Charlotte must find the real killer to save Jerome from the hangman's noose.
