Win32/Lethic is a trojan that communicates with a remote server to distribute spam. Variants of Lethic install executable files with varied file names such as "shelldm.exe" or "xcllsx.exe". The malware loads as a process when Windows starts.
The trojan establishes a connection to remote servers using varied TCP ports, such as 1430, 8900, 8090 and so on. It communicates with servers with names such as "dqglobex.com", "verywellhere.cn", "iamnothere.cn" among others. Once connected, the trojan allows unauthorized use of the affected computer, including distributing spam.

According to FOPE spam statistics, Win32/Lethic produces a high volume of spam and thus has been selected for addition this month to the Microsoft Malware Removal Tool (MSRT). Win32/Lethic is not the biggest botnet in terms of IP addresses, however, it is known for sending many messages into a single envelope.
Below, you can see the difference in spam distribution models between two malware, Win32/Rustock and Win32/Lethic. Notice that in Rustock, the spam message is a 1:1 ratio where Lethic is 1:many.

If we fly these in San Diego, likely we would have two classes for level of experience like we did for S400 and I would not fly against a newcomer. I'd probably call for them and help in other ways. This class is not designed for me and I accept that. They still look like a lot of fun on or off the course.
Alien Tech, when did I say I wont race. And I'm not worried about getting beat either. I did race when it was around ( F5D and speed 400 ) and I look forward to it again. And yes Troy was one of the people I use to race with. Having said that I know what peoples thoughts are from when I raced and thats were my comments are comming from.
Gotcha Mark and I agree.
The thing that people fail to realize is that this is a NATIONAL set of rules. Very few of us will race at that level and most likely will race at the club level where those things are taken into account.
My point is we need to take the class as it is written and actually hold some races and TRY IT before we make changes.
People like Yuri contribute nothing of value to this discussion and just like to piss in people's cheerios to get a reaction I love the fact that the guys who complain the loudest have no intention of participating.
I, personally am anxious to get a dozen or so of these models out at the field at the same time and set up the pylons and see just exactly what it is going to take to make this idea successful. Until that day comes, we're still just guessing about a lot of things.
Up until now, Jerry has been carrying the ball almost alone. Danny has Miss San Bernardino almost ready and both my son and I will have finished prototypes in a couple of weeks. The Owl and the Boo Ray.
Alien Tech has his Nemesis almost there. Stu Max probably isn't too far off with his Minnow either. And then Kevin will have the Miss Lynn.
By the end of next month, there should be about 9 or 10 different kits available for anyone to buy. Maybe not perfect, but certainly a very good start.
If you don't see a model that you like, draw one up. Everyone is welcome to participate. The more people that play, the more fun all of us will have, and I honestly feel this event is going to be a whole lot of fun. If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't be involved.
You hit the nail on the head about perception. The beauty of this event so far with these rules, the airplanes are very close if not exactly the same. Using the LR-1A as the bench mark, several have been comparing speed to all the other designs flying. They are all extremely close if not identical on a given day, for a given power system.
Troy I disagree with your comment. This event is for you. It is for everyone. That is what makes so attractive. It may not be what floats your boat or what makes a flying car soar. It is however, a blast and way to get everyone enjoying pylon racing again without all the excess baggage that is passed down from the other events. A side note, as a kid some 30+ yrs ago I started racing AMA pylon. I dreamed of the days of competing with the top dogs. Names you read about in the magazine, people you would see fly at contests and were just awesome. I was fortunate enough that my father raced and I got to see everything first hand. Names like Violet and Telford, Bob Smith, Kent Nogy, Dub Jett, Jerry Small, Mike Helsel, Brian and Bruce Richmond, Dave Shadel, Gary Hover, Richard Verano, Lyle Larson, Rusty VanBuren, Jim Maki, Dennis O'Brien, Bill Williamson, Bill Pierce, Bob Onari, Doc Martin (who stitched my chin at pool side when I was about 6yrs old), Eric Meyers, Don Anderson, Don Dombrowski, Fred Reese, and so on. I once saw John McDermott fly inverted around the course. These were the guys that made me love pylon so much. Here in the midwest, I was fortunate to see guys like my Dad, Dennis Summner, Ken Heatlie, Gail Jacobson, Bob Petrenic, Pete Waters, Dave Keats, Jim Deyoung, Dave Sears, Dennis Bielick, Lynn Stevens, Wayne Yeager, Jim Gager, Bill Hager, Allan Booth, Ken Hulik (as a punk kid I often called for Ken, we won the nats and set a national record together), Al Grove, Dave Latsha, Rex Knepper, Greg Doe, Jim Katz, Joe Dodd, Craig Grunkemeyer, Tom Scott, Fred and Billy Johanson (I know I am leaving some names off, sorry) and the list goes on. The point is if you don't fly it Troy, how can you inspire anyone to be like you. You are the perfect guy to do this. Trust me I can remember the first time I beat some of these names on the list.
The single most important aspect of this is to nail a power system down that works and works well. Once we hit this mile stone, all other chips will fall into place for a period of time (stability) and then we can modify and enhance the rules.

Good post Dan, I agree Troy should fly. I remember what a joy it was the 1 or 2 times I came in front of him. It definitely gave you something to shoot for. This is good everyone is getting to put there 2C in and when the arfs come available the majority will really get to start flying these and see what peoples thoughts are.
By the way did you ever see the videos of the F3D plane I got from you? Neu 1521 3D, 12s and a 7.5 x 8 prop. That one was a screamer. I think Troy has some video of it somewere.
When I first heard about this I got thinking about coming back and doing a little racing...I agree that we need to nail down the power systems and dimensional details then see if we can get some races scheduled. I don't think you want to try and separate the ARF's from Kits, etc. They should be pretty even and put it into the hands of the pilot with the best thumbs on that day!!! Some of this nick picking this early one really detracts from the intent.
Jeff, it has been awhile... Kits are coming. The cart is a little before the horse at the moment. However, we are working hard to make kits available. We are about a month and a half away from full blown kits being available. Others might be sooner. As far as ARF's, the LR-1A is due (I believe) in Q2 of Horizions release schedule.
Denny, we are getting closer. And I am very confident when it rolls off the end of the ramp things will be clearly defined. At this point, no matter what power system is chosen for competition, these airplanes fly great on almost anything that is commercially available. We just need to get our ducks in a row before the competitions start. It's kind of like the pendulum affect. I am glad that we peaked your interest. Be patient with us. It is happening.
Do you guys know Denny has a airplane that was placed in the AMA's hall of fame, and is on display in the AMA museum!!!
This is an event that really appeals to me. I am never going to be competitive, but that isn't what it has to be about. I got a Sliver when Arch first started selling them, (I think - Toledo about 15 years ago?), and I still like flying it just as a sport plane. I flew some SP400 when we had it going and was happy with anything that WASN'T last! It was fun.
This proposal is for good looking planes that will make nice sport fliers, but still look like real planes. I like the variety of the plans mentioned here, and the prospect of ARFs being competitive means that a lot of guys will give it a try, especially with the inexpensive power systems. I hope I can find someone to fly with!
Martin (waiting for the kits and short-kits to become available)

CRAWFORD {AP} President Bush announced support Thursday night for federal funding for limited medical research on embryonic stem cells, a decision he said balanced concerns about "protecting life and improving life."
"I have made this decision with great care, and I pray it is the right one," Bush said in the first prime-time speech of his presidency.
Citing the promise of breakthroughs in fighting diseases such as Alzheimer's and diabetes, Bush said he would approve federal funding, but only for existing lines of embryonic stem cells. That would restrict research to cells from embryos that already have been destroyed.
The president, an opponent of abortion, said he would prohibit the use of federal funds to create any new lines of human embryonic stem cells. He said it was important that "we pay attention to the moral concerns of the new frontier."
Even though he sought middle ground on the complex political and moral issue, Bush's remarks triggered criticism, muted from supporters of research, forceful from opponents.
"The trade-off he has announced is morally unacceptable," said Bishop Joseph A. Fiorenza, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. "It allows our nation's research enterprise to cultivate a disrespect for human life."
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., a supporter of the research, welcomed Bush's decision as "an important step forward." But, he added, "It doesn't go far enough to fulfill the lifesaving potential of this promising new medical research."
Despite claims from some conservative critics, White House aides insisted the president had not broken a campaign pledge. Running for the White House, Bush said he "opposed research that involves destroying a living human embryo."
At issue was whether the government should support research on stem cells removed from embryos that are left over from fertility treatments. Supporters of such research see great potential for medical treatments. Opponents insist it is wrong to use human embryos for research.
Stem cells are created by removing an inner cell mass from a 5- to 7-day-old embryo. The procedure kills the embryo. When properly nurtured, the cells are able to replicate, or divide, virtually forever, creating what is called a stem cell line.
Bush made his speech from a house on his Texas ranch. Earlier in the day, and a thousand miles away, opponents of stem cell research marched outside the White House to register their concerns.
To soften the news to his conservative critics, Bush said he was creating a president's council led by conservative biomedical ethicist Leon Kass of the University of Chicago to monitor the research and recommend guidelines and regulations. Other ethicists, scientists, doctors, lawyers and theologians will also be named to the council.
In his speech, Bush said he had read and consulted widely before reaching his decision. In a politically poignant reference, he said he had heard from former first lady Nancy Reagan, an opponent of abortion who supports the research. Former President Ronald Reagan, a staunch opponent of abortion, suffers from Alzheimer's disease, one of the illnesses that scientists hope to conquer through stem cell research.
"As I thought through this issue I kept returning to two fundamental questions," Bush said.
"First, are these frozen embryos human life and therefore something precious to be protected? And second, if they're going to be destroyed anyway, shouldn't they be used for a greater good, for research that has the potential to save and improve other lives?"
In reaching his decision, Bush sorted through conflicting advice from ethicists, anti-abortionists, advocates for the ill, researchers and Pope John Paul II.
Major researchers in the field had estimated that there were only about a dozen stem cell lines in existence, and that some of those would not meet strict National Institutes of Health standards for research. Bush said, however, that there are more than 60 existing lines that met his criteria for research. There was no immediate explanation for the different figures.
Stem cells are capable of developing into any of the body's organs but not into a complete individual. These cells form inside an embryo a few days after fertilization.
By properly nurturing embryonic stem cells, experts believe they can grow new cells to restore ailing organs in chronically ill patients. For instance, new insulin-producing cells could be grown, perhaps to cure diabetes.
Congress has banned government money for stem cell research that destroys embryos. But the Clinton administration ruled that such research could receive federal funding as long as private money financed the part of the process that actually destroyed the embryo the extraction of the stem cells. Bush delayed such funding while he reviewed the policy.
Bush made his decision Wednesday after a meeting with top aides on his ranch in central Texas. Aides maintained the secrecy that characterized the process, giving 14 hours notice of his nationally televised address without revealing the decision to anyone but a tiny circle of advisers.
Among those Bush consulted were Catholic leaders, National Institutes of Health scientists and representatives of the National Right To Life Committee and the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.
The last expert that Bush heard from on the issue was a pro-research bioethicist who spoke with the president in the Oval Office a week ago.
Bush put the finishing touches on his speech Thursday, went jogging and fished.

Here is a brief presentation of the history of Isafjordur.
Centre of trade
Isafjordur was settled some 1.100 years ago. For centuries, the only houses on the spit where Isafjordur now stands were those that belonged to the church. However, with its excellent natural harbour, Isafjordur little by little became an important site for merchants who did their trade with the farmers and fishermen in the area.
Isafjordur was granted municipal status in 1786, after the King of Denmark (who then ruled Iceland) had abolished the Danish monopoly of trade in Iceland. Soon things were booming in Isafjordur. Production and export of saltfish was the key to the growth of the town, and its status as one of Iceland's main trading posts until the early 20th century.
The golden days of the fish industry
The second part of the 19th century and the early 20th century were grandiose times for Isafjordur. The town was the home of Ásgeirsverslun, Iceland's biggest saltfish exporter and, in fact, one of the biggest companies in the country. The use of motorised boats for fishing and freights started in Isafjordur, and this is the town where the Icelandic shrimp industry began. The list goes on and on.
The period following World War II saw huge changes in the fishing industry. The ships grew ever larger and new methods of production called for quick-freezing plants to be built. None of this changed the fact that Isafjordur was in the forefront of this industry and the fish plants were the workplaces of several hundreds of men and women. Life was not just hard work though, as the inhabitants of Isafjordur have always known the art of enjoying the rich cultural life and ample recreation opportunities the town has to offer.
Changing times
In the 1980s things changed for the worse in the fishing industry, as well as in the economic life in general. Fishing plants were closed, people lost their jobs and several of them moved away to look for new opportunities. Little by little the town has managed to bounce back. The fishing industry is still important, although it has changed its focus to a fleet of small boats rather than the big trawlers of the 1970s and early 1980s. High-tech industries and research, based on the knowledge and tradition of the fisheries has also developed, plus numerous new opportunities, not least in the rapidly growing sector of tourism.
The political scene
Politics in this town have always been quite lively, or even fierce. Many of Iceland's leading political figures in the 20th century are the products of this environment, from the first ever Icelandic minister, Mr. Hannes Hafstein in 1904 to the current president of Iceland, Mr. Olafur Ragnar Grimsson.

As holidays go, Flag Day is no Christmas or New Year's Eve.
No lights on houses, jack-o'-lanterns on porches or backyard barbecues.
Chances are you're not going to get the day off to celebrate it on Wednesday, as only Pennsylvania celebrates Flag Day as a state holiday. Even the creation of a day to celebrate the flag's birthday took some doing: Congress hemmed and hawed for decades before finally recognizing it in 1949.
But while Flag Day may not be the biggest holiday of the year in America, the flag itself is taken very seriously.
The Oceanside Unified School District this year made national news when students were asked not to bring American flags to school during demonstrations about immigration rights, and a proposed amendment to the Constitution banning flag-burning continues to be debated.
Ask people what the flag means to them and you're likely to hear anything from heartfelt devotion to bland indifference -- or even resentment.
In North County this Wednesday, expect to see flags lining the streets of some neighborhoods, but don't look for parades and street festivals.
Then again, it's not as if North County is remiss in its appreciation for Betsy Ross' handiwork.
No fewer than two stores in the area -- Flagship Flags in Escondido and Flag Mart in Vista -- specialize in flags. The tallest structure in North County also is the biggest flagpole in the county, found at the Escondido Auto Park. And the biggest flag in the county actually is a flower bed sometimes grown in the spring at the Carlsbad Flower Fields.
As for actual flags, one of the biggest and most visible American flags in the county can be seen on the east side of Interstate 15 at Mercedes Benz of Escondido.
"It's very big," said the dealership's operations manager Gary Smith.
The flag is on a 70-foot pole and is 20 feet by 38 feet. Smith said owner Angelo Damante wanted the large flag to serve as a landmark for his dealership and as a sign of loyalty to the country.
It's not cheap. Smith said the flag cost $700, and because it is on a windy hill and exposed 24 hours a day -- flag etiquette allows it to fly at night if it is illuminated -- the dealership has to replace it four times a year.
The flag would last longer if it were taken down every night, but that's easier said than done.
"It takes six guys, and once it's down, it acts like a giant parachute because it's on top of the hill," Smith said.
Damante said the flag was dedicated in 1996 as the official flag of San Diego Veterans Services, which had an Escondido chapter at the time.
"Everybody always talks about symbols," Damante said. "What's the great symbol we have as an American? It's the American flag. I can't see how anybody cannot honor the flag. No matter where you go, when you see your flag, you know you're home."
At age 11, Damante entered a six-year career at a military academy, which he attended during the Vietnam War.
"They taught me discipline," he said. "They taught me respect for the flag, respect for the country. Any success I have had always stemmed from my six years of military school."
Damante and Smith said people often call the dealership about the flag, sometimes to say they've noticed a tear in it or to ask why it is flying at half-staff.
"It's amazing the people who notice the flag," Damante said.
Not to be outdone, auto dealers on the west side of Interstate 15 in Escondido have their own patriotic symbol -- a 180-foot-tall flagpole that flies a 30-by-60-foot flag.
"It's all been good," Brecht BMW general manager Tom Brecht said about the comments he's heard since the giant pole was installed last August. "There's always controversy to start with, but once the flag was up, everybody was like, 'Wow, that's really cool.'"
The flagpole was a joint effort of car dealers at Escondido Auto Park. The flag cost about $1,500, and Brecht said the dealers have two so one can fly while repairs are made to the other.
"I know there were people who thought it was some kind of advertisement gimmick, but that's not what it is," Brecht said. "It's more just a patriotic sentiment for the dealers and owners of the car franchises."
A more modest display can be found in a flower display outside the theater company CAST Academy in Fallbrook. Academy owner Patty Hornsveld said the red, white and blue flowers are in honor of a local resident.
"Our flag flower display is a memorial to the late Andy Holina, who desired to have a giant flag pole in downtown Fallbrook to honor all the service men and women, past, present and future," Hornsveld wrote in an e-mail. "He was trying to get local venders to donate toward his endeavor when he was stricken with an inoperable brain tumor. He died never seeing his dream come true."
The flower bed is next to a sign that reads, "Support the troops, pray for peace."
Sense of history
Whether the flag is made of flowers or fabric, its an image that evokes a response. One of the most iconic and enduring images of the flags is the photo of it being raised on Iwo Jima.
Oceanside resident Mike Mervosh, who retired as a Marine Corps sergeant major in 1977 as the most senior enlisted man in all the Armed Forces, fought on Iwa Jima for 36 days in 1945.
"It means a hell of a lot to me," Mervosh said about Flag Day. "For one thing, Flag Day is my birthday."
Mervosh, who will be 83 on Wednesday, said patriotism can be abstract, but the flag is a tangible representative of its spirit.
"The flag and patriotism have to go together," Mervosh said.
The retired Marine supports a Constitutional amendment to ban flag-burning and has little patience with anyone who would desecrate the Stars and Stripes.
"If I ever see anything like that, I'd take action," he said. "If I'd seen someone desecrate a flag, I'd lose my temper. I have a First Amendment right to express my opinion."
Mervosh hangs and salutes a flag outside his house every morning, and he said he's a little irked that he's met young people who have never even heard of Betsy Ross. When he tells people he was born on Flag Day and they ask him to be more specific, he tells them to look it up, hoping they will learn something about history.
A holiday is born
Flag Day commemorates the day in 1777 when the Stars and Stripeswas adopted by Congress as the official flag of the United States.According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Hartford,Conn., claims to have first celebrated the day in 1861.
Flag Day programs in public schools became a way to help Americanize immigrant children by the late 1800s, and in 1889, a school principal named George Bolch held patriotic ceremonies during Flag Day at a kindergarten in New York. The program sounded like a good idea to the state Department of Education, which called on all public schools to hold similar ceremonies.
The governor of New York took it one step further in 1897 and ordered all public buildings in the state to display flags on June 14.
School teacher Bernard J. Cigrand also is recognized for his efforts to get Flag Day recognized. Originally starting with a ceremony in his own Waubeka, Wis., school in 1885, Cigrand tried for years to have June 14 declared a national holiday.
Meanwhile, a schoolboy named William Kerr in Pittsburgh created the American Flag Day Association in 1888 and served on its board for 50 years.
President Woodrow Wilson in 1916 and President Calvin Coolidge in 1927 both issued proclamations asking the nation to observe June 14 as Flag Day. Finally, President Harry Truman in 1949 signed a bill declaring June 14 as Flag Day. Kerr was an invited guest to witness the signing.
What it means
Paul Yost of Escondido saw plenty of Flag Day celebrations inWashington, D.C. in his years as a Secret Service officer servingfrom the Franklin Roosevelt to the Lyndon Johnsonadministrations.
He also remembers seeing plenty of protestors and even flag-burners during the Vietnam War.
"That just wasn't right," he said. "We had a lot of punks coming to Washington to get publicity, and they'd lie down in the driveway of the White House. We had to drag them over to the side so cars could get by. We didn't care if we skinned them up or not."
Asked about the meaning of the flag today, Yost reflects on his childhood in Charlotte, N.C., and is still proud that his hometown declared its independence before the rest of the new country.
"The United States is a free country, and we fought for our independence in 1776," he said. "In my town, we fought in 1775. There's a plaque showing where we declared our independence May 20, 1775. That's our independence. I was real proud of that."
Wesley Foster of Oceanside served in the Navy during World War II and was at the battle of Okinawa, but does not fly a flagoutside his house.
'I'm not much of a flag man," said Foster, 81. "I just think it's overused, and it's used to show patriotism without citizenship."
Foster said people should show their patriotism through volunteering to help their community rather than waving flags.
"Many of the people who think the flag is sacred are draft-dodgers," he said. "Look at the whole (Bush) administration. They're all flag-lovers, but they dodged the draft, every one of them."
Foster also called the proposed amendment to ban flag-burning a made-up issue used to divide people.
Yaja Boren of Oceanside immigrated to the United States from Poland in 1949 and survived death camps during the Holocaust.
"It means a great deal to me," Boren said about the flag. "To me, it means a safety net. It means home. I can think of a million things what it means to me. It really means a place where I could feel like a human being and safe. Where I would feel like an equal person."
Boren said she probably will not fly her flag Wednesday because the pole-holder on the side of her house is too high for her to reach. She does have a small flag she keeps near her kitchen window, however, and she used to wear a red, white and blue dress to show her love for her adopted country.
"I wore it to death," she said. "I'm very proud of the American flag, really."
In Carlsbad, Lola's Market owner Ofelia "Ofie" Escobedo is active in her community, especially Latino issues. While she doesn't have an American flag outside her store, she said there is one, as well as the Mexican flag, next door in the Barrio Museum she helped organize.
"I never thought about it, but now that you mention it, I respect the flag," she said when asked her feelings about the flag.
Escobedo helps promote the Fiesta del Barrio in Carlsbad every year, and while the theme is the area's Mexican heritage, she pointed out that the event's parade is led by the American flag carried by Boy Scout Troop 748.
Buying it, flying it
While sentiments about the flag vary from wild enthusiasm to scorn, one thing is certain: Sales are up this time of year, and their popularity has remained strong since 2001.
"American flags are our top-seller," said Rusi Gorimar, who has owned Flagship Flags in Escondido for three years and another shop by the same name in Hillcrest since 1990. "Once we get into the month of May and from then on, they really go up in sales."
The biggest sales boom came after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, when Gorimar said demand was so high that manufacturers could not keep up.
Gorimar said he bought his business from his father-in-law in 1990, when flag sales were lukewarm. The Gulf War of 1991 saw the biggest business the store ever had, but sales leveled off in 1993. After Sept. 11, the store ran out of American flags after three days. Sales have tapered off since then, which Gorimar said is natural, yet they remain a hot item.
Today, American flag sales at Gorimar's shop remain about 60 percent greater than they were before 2001, he said.

Flag retirement ceremonies
Two retirement ceremonies that will dispose properly of old and tattered flags are scheduled in Fallbrook and San Marcos on Wednesday.
In Fallbrook, the ceremony will be at VFW Post 1924 at 1175 Old Stage Road.
People are asked to bring their old flags to the post throughout the year for the annual Flag Day ceremony. Old flags will be accepted until 5 p.m. Wednesday, when they will be burned in a pit. The public is welcome.
People who bring in old flags will receive a small commemorative flag and certificate of appreciation. Call (760) 728-8784.
In San Marcos, the Kiwanis Club and Cub Scout Pack 662 will hold their fifth annual flag retirement ceremony at 6:30 p.m. at Walnut Grove Park.
The event is open to the public. Residents are welcome to bring flags and participate in the ceremony, which will include patriotic readings and songs. Bring lawn chairs for seating.
Joining the Kiwanis Club and the Cub Scouts will be members of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association, Chapter 31; the Military Order of the Purple Heart and other local veterans; the Daughters of the American Revolution; members of the San Marcos Fire Department; and local dignitaries.
Annual collections during the first four years have retired more than 850 flags.
Call (760) 471-3201, e-mail email@example.com or go to http://www.KiwanisClubOfSanMarcos.org .

Scholars at the School have enormous strengths in tackling health issues, and generating novel solutions that transcend borders
The School plans to invest in partnerships that connect the local with the global, which will lead to a coalition of willing scholars, students, governments, corporations, non-profit organizations and communities from six continents pursuing collaborative projects designed to improve the health of humans and the world.
We also intend to significantly increase the number of international learners participating in our programs, and to support them as they take part in innovative activities in key locations around the globe.
Our ambitious new undergraduate course — Grand Opportunities in Global Health — has seen unprecedented demand, and is only the first of what we hope will be increased opportunities for U of T students to learn about how we might create a healthier, fairer and more sustainable world, together.

A two-alarm brush fire burned about five acres next to U.S. Highway 101 in the Marinwood and Novato area Sunday, a fire chief said.
The fire was reported around 11:10 a.m. in a grassy area just off of a bike path that runs alongside southbound Highway 101 in the unincorporated community of Marinwood, according to San Rafael fire Chief Christopher Gray.
The blaze spread quickly up a hillside and threatened several homes in the area, but firefighters' aggressive attack kept it from spreading further, the chief said.
Cal Fire helicopters were called to dump water on the blaze and firefighters were able to contain the fire a short time after noon, Gray said.
Crews from Cal Fire as well as the San Rafael, Novato and Marin County fire departments responded to the scene. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Gray said the fire is "another wakeup call about the severity of this fire season."
Fire departments are asking residents to do their part by clearing brush around their homes to create a defensible space.
"It not only helps the homeowner, it helps firefighters, too," the chief said.

The Austin School Board Thursday named St. Paul superintendent Meria Carstarphen as its only finalist for the top job in a district with more than twice as many students as St. Paul.
By law, the Austin board can't offer Carstarphen the job for three more weeks. But district leaders say they're committed to seeing the process through and forcing St. Paul to find a new leader.
Shortly before Austin trustees unanimously approved her as its only finalist for the top job, they took time to speak glowingly of their 38-year-old candidate.
"I believe we've found an extraordinary, unique and reform-minded superintendent leader in Dr. Meria Carstarphen," said board president Mark Williams. "It is abundantly clear to me that Dr. Carstarphen is best-qualified to come to Austin and go to work on behalf of all Austin students," he added, in a statement.
After the meeting and a press conference, Carstarphen visited one of the elementary schools she'll soon oversee.
The warm welcome there from the kids comes as Austin's current superintendent, Pat Forgione, continues his long good-bye after ten years in that job. And because Castarphen has only been in St. Paul for three years, Austin media were quick to ask her how long she plans to stay, during a news conference this morning.
Her answer? As long as she needs to.
"This opportunity came along at a time where I did not have a renewed contract at my district at this very moment," she added. "And so, I did explore this opportunity and found it would be a great match."
Austin media had also been reporting that the board was seeking a Hispanic candidate, given nearly 6 in 10 Austin students (58%) are Hispanic. But the board went with a person who will become the district's first-ever African American and first-ever female superintendent.
Carstarphen tried to send a message to the Hispanic community when she delivered some of her remarks in Spanish: "I want to tell you that all of the students, all of the children, are now also my children," she said. "The future of our children is the future of the entire community."
Carstarphen is leaving a district facing declining enrollment, a big budget deficit, and which is in the middle of an expansive overhaul called Large-Scale System Change. That System Change is likely to include school closures, and school board member Elona Street-Stewart says the process will continue.
"That, I believe, will be the legacy," Street-Steward said. "That she was opening the doors for us to really look at change and know it was necessary."
"She will not have been here to be able to complete that chapter, but I think she's positioned us so that we're going to go ahead with that," said Stewart.
Some parents, though, think the departure will stymie the effort. Susan Wright, a PTA mom with two children in the district, said she thought Carstarphen started poorly and mishandled the closing of her neighborhood school Homecroft.
But since then, Wright says she's gotten on board with the system change process.
"I thought that would be, as a parent and a taxpayer, that was the moment I was going to be able to judge her," said Wright. "You've had a huge misstep, but you're doing something right, and now before you fire out this new program, you're outta here."
"You can't judge one way or another."
Back in Austin, where she plans to continue visiting schools on Friday, Carstarphen said she thinks she's leaving St. Paul poised to continue its changes: "All of those things are in place for people to take it to the next level."
Carstarphen also said she'll finish the school year in St. Paul, which runs through June. Her next three weeks, though, will include negotiations and public meetings in Texas before the Austin board can formally offer her the job.
The Austin school board will take formal action on Carstarphen's appointment following a required 21-day waiting period, which ends on March 19. Terms of her contract, including her start date, are yet to be determined.
Carstarphen is sure to get a pay increase, though. She's heading to a much larger district. Also, Austin's current superintendent, Pat Forgione, will earn $284,563 this year. Carstarphen's current salary in St. Paul is about $195,000.

Bones, believed to be from the body of a child which has been buried for hundreds of years, have been uncovered during gas main works in Lynn today, Friday, March 14.
The discovery is believed to have been made this afternoon on the third day of a five-week project to replace the pipes in the Saturday Market Place.
The Rev Chris Ivory, vicar of the nearby Lynn Minster, also known as St Margaret's Church, said he thought it was likely the remains dated back to at least the early 17th century "and may have been a long time before that", because of the evolving layout of the church over the centuries.
He said: "The churchyard to the south of the minster was consecrated in the 1620s. Prior to that all the burials were to the north."
He added that what is now the Saturday Market Place car park, which does remain open to drivers, once stood within the walls of the church.
Archaeologists are set to be called in to assess the discovery and the remains will be reburied in the church if that is necessary.
So far, there has been no official comment from National Grid, the company who are carrying out the main replacement works.

INDIANAPOLIS - The owners of the Broad Ripple parking garage have lowered the rates from $2 for the first hour to $1 for the first hour.
"We changed the rate to simply match the parking meter rate," Mike Patarino, vice president of real estate for Keystone Realty, wrote in an email to Call 6 Investigator Kara Kenney. "Note the parking equipment we installed can only be set for $1/hour increments so we could never match the $1.50/hour at the meters. So now we are at $1/hour for the first hour and so on."
New signs posted at the entrance show $1 for the first hour and a $15 daily maximum.
Since the garage opened to drivers in April 2013, some drivers have been critical of the cost to park in the garage, compared to parking at meters and in free spots on the street.
The Broad Ripple parking garage was built with $6.35 million of the public's money, but the city gets none of the parking revenue.
Keystone Realty is the developer of the garage, Keystone Construction built the garage and Keystone also owns the garage through a holding company called 6280 LLC.
Last year, the City of Indianapolis and garage owners and management, Keystone and Newpoint Parking respectively, would not release data showing how many cars have parked there.
So, the Call 6 Investigators counted cars day and night and found the garage was 5.5 percent full, on average.
Just counting the peak times, around 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, the garage was 19.8 percent full, on average.
In an email to Kenney this week, Patarino did not reveal parking figures but said the numbers are improving.
"Our parking revenues at the garage have been increasing every quarter since we opened," Patarino wrote in an email to RTV6.
Five months after the April 2013 opening, Call 6 Investigator Kara Kenney found the elevator not working on several occasions, water pooling in some areas days after rain passed and signs not up to city code.
Keystone fixed all of the issues.
In 2011, Mayor Greg Ballard announced the garage would be built to address parking problems for residents and visitors.
"One of the great things about the garage is it will allow for a residential parking permit program for the neighborhood," said Ballard in 2011. "Broad Ripple Village has long needed a garage of this magnitude to alleviate the parking issues. Residents and their guests who have been asking for this for a long, long time will easily be able to find on-street parking near their homes."
Getting cars off neighborhood streets and into the garage was also a big selling point mentioned at the May 2, 2013, ribbon-cutting.
"When they're going down the street to a restaurant, they're not parking three blocks deep into the neighborhood," Ballard said on May 2, 2013.
As of June 2014, the Broad Ripple Village Association has yet to unveil a residential parking permit program for streets near the garage.
Firehouse Subs, one of the parking garage's first tenants, has already closed its doors.
Mayor Greg Ballard joked about filling the space with Keystone's CEO, Ersal Ozdemir, at the May 2, 2013 ribbon-cutting and news conference.
"I know something will be in here, Ersal, eventually right?" Ballard said at the podium.
The space where the ribbon-cutting was held, the north corner at College and Westfield Boulevard, will soon be occupied by beer bar Hop Cat.
Current tenants of the Broad Ripple parking garage include an IMPD substation, Orange Leaf, Marco's Pizza and Massage Envy.
"It will be more profitable as we have more parkers in there and as our retail spaces get filled out," said Patarino in 2013.

I found this in our bathroom. It looks like a fly, but has vestigial wings and what looks like piercing mouthparts. It cleans its legs like a fly. Its body is quite flat, and from head to 'tail' is about 7mm. It looks a bit sinister to me! I'd quite like to know what it is, so if you have any idea, let me know...
This is a flat-fly or hippoboscid fly (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) which are external parasites of birds and bats.
In my experience the commonest species found in homes is Crataerina hirundinis which is a parasite of housemartins and swallows.
They have been known to bite people but we cant sustain them in manner to which they are accustomed to by their natural hosts.
Creepy looking flies - but in a funky kind of way.
That would make sense, and in fact I thought I was one a while ago on a dead bird in our garden.
Thanks for the prompt reply!
I have certainly seen males of some flying, albeit weakly, but they have more fully formed wings. Not sure if this is the case in all species but pretty sure that it is the females who have reduced wings and are somewhat tied to their host.
Anyone else know? Otherwise I will do a bit of reading and report back.

Alpine skiing: Hastings preparing for Welch invite
Four races into the season, the Hastings Alpine ski teams have their seasons well under way. So far, Hastings coach Jim Peine likes what he is seeing.
The Hastings girls team is second in the conference rankings and the boys team is third.
The Hastings girls are led by senior Kelly Pechous, who Peine said "is usually in the top two or three every meet."
Lane Manke is "usually in the top five as well, every meet," Peine said. Manke is a junior.
Another junior, Alyssa Gerlach, is faring well. Juliann Moes, a sophomore, has also had a god start to the season.
Stillwater leads the conference standings.
As for the boys, they are led by a trio of strong skiers.
Sophomore Dustin Erickson is among the leaders.
"He has been our key on the boys side," Peine said.
Matt Hoffman, a senior, is also having a great season.
Freshman Adam Peine is the team's top point-getter thus far. He's been consistent every race.
Stillwater leads the conference standings, and Mounds View is second.
Hastings will compete at the Welch Village Invitational Friday.
"I'm really excited about that meet," Peine said. "Both our boys and our girls are skiing very well. I think we've got a pretty good shot at doing well there.
"The team has been working hard."

In Reply to: History of the strawberry posted by Barney on June 19, 2003
: : : : : : I was eatting a strawberry the other day, when I wondered where did the name come, can any offer a soloution to this question, where did teh anme strawberry come from????
: : : : : The berries seem to be strewn among the leaves of the
plant. The plant first had the name strewberry, which later was
changed to strawberry.
: : : : : One of many explanations I found but this one had the largest count.
: : : : I was told that farmers placed straw around the plants to keep the berries from the ground and to stop them from rotting!
: : : That's what I believe too. Whether it's true or not, I've seen this done.
: : My etymology book says that the reason for the name 'is unknown'.
: Whether or not it's true that the name derives from the practice, by growers of this delicious fruit, of placing straw around the plants to prevent rain from splashing soil onto those soft, vulnerable red berries it's a happy coincidence that has satisfied my curiosity about the origin of the name strawberry; until now.
The strawberry has a history -- who knew? So far I am counting
four theories:
1. The straw that's put around the plants.
2. The straw-like (to some) runners from the plants.
3. The chaff-like (to some) external seeds on the berry.
4. The berries that appear to be "strewn" among the plants.
When I was young in the mountains, I used to eat wild strawberries -- tiny sweet berries. The store ones just can't compare.

Hi there! I will be visiting New Orleans in February and was hoping to get suggestions on restaurants that could accommodate a group of up to 25 people. This would be just prior to Mardi Gras, so I am sure most places will be very crowded. Hmmm...do restaurants even accept reservations Mardi Gras week?
We'd like someplace casual but that serves wonderful local dishes to really give us a taste of New Orleans.
I will be staying just west of Canal Street (Camp Street), so it seems like anything in the French Quarter, Warehouse District or Business District would be an easy walk?
Thank you in advance! I cannot wait to visit your wonderful city.
Also if you have any general suggestions on the essentials on what to see and do (aside from the Mardi Gras festivities), please feel free to share those as well. You can email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Credit Bureau Reports Delinquency Broadly Down: Equifax
Equifax, one of the three national credit reporting agencies, is reporting that consumers are keeping more up to date on not just their credit cards, but their auto loans, mortgage loans, home equity and other consumer finance loans as well.
"Consumers continue to improve their credit management, through higher monthly payments on card accounts, refinancing of existing mortgage debt at lower rates, and lower delinquency rates pretty much across the board," said Equifax Chief Economist Amy Crews Cutts. "Growth in total credit is consistent with the overall improvement in the economy – slow, but steady – with the exception of mortgage debt which is declining overall."
The decline in mortgage debt is due to loans converting to real estate owned at the end of the foreclosure process, homeowners paying down debt faster through cash-in refinancing, or shortening of the mortgage term as well as borrowers curtailing the debt by adding a bit extra to their payment each month, Cutts added.
"In stark contrast to overall improvements in consumer repayment behavior, student loan delinquencies and write-offs have increased significantly over the past 12 months," the Equifax economist said.
Equifax data showed that auto loan 60-day plus delinquency rates declined 35%, credit card 60-day plus delinquency rates declined 21%, first mortgage 30-day plus delinquency rates declined 15% and home equity revolving 30-day plus delinquency rates declined 7%.
By contrast, the credit bureau reported that write-off rates among student loans increased more than 29% month-to-month from June-July 2012, student loan 60-day delinquency rates increased more than 14% year-to-year from July 2011-2012, student loan balances increased $58.5 billion year-over-year from July 2011-2012 and the total number of student loans has increased nearly 24% from July 2011 (89 million) to July 2012 (116 million).
"Student loans is one area of lending not affected by tighter underwriting standards since the start of the recession," said Cutts. "The investment in higher education pays off over a person's lifetime, while the tuition cost has to be paid up-front, leading to big demand for student loans.
"Unfortunately, the current job market has not been kind to new graduates and their student loans start to come due once they graduate – if they don't have a job by the time the first installment is due, they can find themselves in quite a jam."

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Dancin Power, Oakland, CA, USA
My first 'class' with Vania was in the corridor of Childrens Hospital Oakland about 4 yrs ago, with a girl who had serious asthma and another who was in a wheelchair. In 3 wods, it was wonderful! With Vania's help and huge smiles on their faces, the girls moved their arms and legs to the salsa beat. We laughed at our antics and encouraged passerbys to join in the fun. Vania's loving, generous heart and warm spirit continue to follow her in her great work. The world really needs her vision and I hope it never fades.

Unanswered: Does mySql support multiple languages???
I'm about to launch a site for worldwide customers.
My customers will store text in some fields. And this text will laiter on be displayed around the www in browsers.
My customers will have the option on saving the text for english readers and readers that use the customers own language.
My question is this:
When a customer from let say Germany, Sweden, Taiwan, Japan or whatever country.. enters text in their own language and someone (a reader from the same country) with that charset (German, Swedish, Taiwanese or Japanese) want to read the text in their own language..... will this text display correctly??
(I do not expect i.e. a Swedish reader to be able to read the Japanese text on a computer that does not support the Japanese charset.)
Hope for an answer.....

Luke 10:38-41King James Version (KJV)
38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:

It might seem like Ubisoft has already revealed every detail there is to know about Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. The pirate simulation game's sea battles, Caribbean exploration, assassin gameplay, and "fort assualts" have all been detailed in the past few months.
Today yet another gameplay video for Black Flag was released. This one shows a few of the side-missions and activities available to players outside of the main story. Gamers will be able to access taverns after a ritual fistfight, climb (and jump off of) viewpoints, and harpoon sea life. Other activities include diving into underwater shipwrecks to gather loot and storming into smuggler hideouts to do the same.
Of course, it wouldn't be a Black Flag preview without a ship battle as well:

A 25-year-old Harker Heights woman is behind bars after confessing to breaking into a Killeen home and stealing a car in December.
Jessie Tisha Jones was charged with burglary of a habitation and is in custody at Bell County Jail.
Jones broke into a home in the 4500 block of Windcrest Drive in Killeen on Dec. 17, an arrest affidavit stated.
Residents of the home reported several items missing from the home, including a car that had been parked in the garage, a safe, jewelry and electronics.
When contacted by police, Jones admitted to breaking into the home through a window left unlocked in order to get some paperwork left in a safe, according to the affidavit.
She told police she also took items she knew didn't belong to her and then left in the car.
Justice of the Peace Garland Potvin arraigned Jones on Thursday, setting her bail at $50,000.
Potvin also arraigned Michael Dewayne Mayes Jr., 25, on an unrelated charge of unauthorized use of a vehicle. Mayes' bail was set at $20,000.

Cattlemen pay tribute to industry champion Paul Hitch
RENO, NEV. - On Friday at the 2008 Cattle Industry Annual Convention and Trade Show in Reno, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) honored Paul Hitch, a cattleman and longtime livestock industry leader from Guymon, Oklahoma. Best known for his success in cattle feeding, Hitch is president and chairman of Hitch Enterprises, Inc. and Hitch AgriBusiness, Inc. -diversified agricultural operations based in the Oklahoma panhandle region.
Hitch is a former chairman of the NCBA Policy Division and NCBA Live Cattle Marketing Committee. He had served the past two years as vice-president and president-elect of NCBA. But he was unable to accept a term as NCBA president, due to an ongoing bout with cancer.
NCBA officers presented Hitch with a letter of appreciation for decades of outstanding service to the association, as well as his leadership in state and local cattlemen's organizations.
"At every level on which you have served, your fellow cattlemen have benefited from your knowledge, candor, and good old-fashioned common sense. It has truly been an honor to serve at your side, and we are all richer for the experience," the officers stated.
Addressing a large audience of cattlemen, Hitch invoked the memory of New York Yankee legend Lou Gehrig. After being diagnosed with the fatal disease that would later bear his name, Gehrig gave an emotional farewell speech to a Yankee Stadium crowd, saying, "Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth."
About 5000 cattlemen from across the nation are attending the convention, which concludes today in Reno. Today's activities include business meetings of the Cattlemen's Beef Board and the NCBA Board of Directors. NCBA will also hold its annual membership meeing. Further news updates from the convention are available at www.beefusa.org.

That method involved reading the coordinates from your scanned map and inputting it manually. Many times though you may not have the coordinates printed on your map, or you are trying to georeference an image. In that case, you can use another georeferenced data source as your input. In this tutorial, you will learn how to use existing open data sources in your georeferencing process. We will georeference high resolution balloon-imagery using reference coordinates from OpenStreetMap. In this tutorial, we will be using some gorgeous kite and balloon imagery collected by The Public Laboratory. They make the georeferenced versions of the images also available, but we will download a non-georeferenced JPG image and go through the process of georeferencing it in QGIS. If you like the imagery they provide, you can explore it in Google Earth as well. Download the JPG image of Washington Square Park, New York. You can right-click the JPG button and choose Save link as…. Source.

Here's what's important in the business world this morning:
U.S. Airways: U.S. Airways made its best profit ever for the 3-month stretch that covers much of the peak summer vacation season.
Net income for the third quarter totaled $245 million, or $1.24 per share, compared with $76 million, or 41 cents per share, a year earlier, the airline said Wednesday.
The results are especially important to U.S. Airways Group Inc. as it pursues a merger with American Airlines. Tempe, Ariz.-based U.S. Airways, the nation's fifth-biggest airline, is trying to impress American's creditors that a combined company would be more successful than American can become on its own.
Before gains such as the sale of airport landing slots, U.S. Airways would have earned $192 million, or 98 cents per share, in the third quarter. Analysts were expecting 92 cents per share excluding one-time items.
Revenue rose 3 percent to $3.53 billion but fell short of analysts' expectations of $3.55 billion.
Ford: Ford Motor Co. will close a car plant in eastern Belgium – one of its main European factories – by the end of 2014, a move that will result in 4,500 direct job losses and 5,000 more among subcontractors.
Exactly half a century after construction on the Genk plant started, Ford told a management council there that production was winding down since slumping European sales has forced a restructuring of its plants.
Ford has been under pressure in Europe due to the region's dwindling demand for its models and the overall slide of car sales on the continent due to the debt crisis. The company expects to lose more than $1 billion this year in Europe, where it gets a quarter of its sales. Analysts say Ford has more factory capacity than it needs.
The regional authorities in northern Belgium's Flanders are already looking how to recover money from the €57 million it committed in 2010 to keep Ford rooted there for years to come.
The announcement came barely a month after Ford had given reassurances about production at the Genk plant, Lamers said.
EU & Microsoft: The European Union's executive arm formally accused Microsoft on Wednesday of failing to comply with a binding agreement to give customers a choice among Internet browsers.
In 2009, the European Commission said it suspected Microsoft of using its dominant market position to foist its Internet Explorer browser on users. In negotiations, Microsoft agreed to create a screen where users could choose among competitors' browsers. The Commission accepted that concession and made the creation of a "browser choice screen" legally binding.
But in July, the Commission said the screen had not been displayed on many computers between February 2009 and July 2012, and millions of users may have been affected during that period. At the time, Microsoft said that a technical error was responsible.
On Wednesday, the company apologized for the error and said it was working to make sure it didn't happen again,
Microsoft will now be given four weeks to respond to the formal complaint and can seek an oral hearing. Once it has assessed Microsoft's defense, the Commission will rule.
The company could face a fine of up to 10 percent of its annual revenue if found in breach of antitrust law.
U.S. Futures: Stock futures are rising ahead of the latest U.S. housing data and on a report from China that could signal a recovery for the manufacturing sector of the world's second largest economy.
Dow Jones industrial futures are up 43 points to 13,084. The broader S&P futures have gained 6 points to 1,412.80. Nasdaq futures are up 10.75 points to 2,671.25.
A preliminary version of HSBC's monthly purchasing managers' index for China rose to a three-month high. The numbers still point to a contraction, but they're an improvement from numbers last month. A report last week suggested an uptick in retail sales and investment, too.
The U.S. Commerce Department posts the latest data on new home sales at 10 a.m. Eastern and economists expect to see more evidence of a steadily improving market.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Here is a fascinating exchange between George Monbiot and Steve Easterbrook exploring the larger issues behind the recent Swifthacking of CRU email (aka ClimateGate).
Steve makes an excellent presentation of the case for what happens to be my personal view on this mess, namely that the media has failed in a major and tragic way and that this is a tale of a successful propaganda campaign not scientific corruption. In my opinion, Monbiot seems to understand Steve's points but still does not get the real story.
Have a read:
The computer scientist Steve Easterbrook wrote an interesting critique of my approach to the hacked climate emails. This prompted me to write a column about the two cultures, and our inability to understand each other. Steve has now taken up the baton again, and I've responded to him. These comments were first published on Steve's blog, where you can also read what other people have to say about the controversy and follow the links in Steve's piece.

" Genre: Fiction / Author: Kimberly Derting / Audio Book "
The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting
---Book synopsis---
Violet Ambrose is grappling with two major issues: Jay Heaton and her morbid secret ability. While the sixteen-year-old is confused by her new feelings for her best friend since childhood, she is more disturbed by her "power" to sense dead bodies--or at least those that have been murdered. Since she was a little girl, she has felt the echoes that the dead leave behind in the world... and the imprints that attach to their killers.
Violet has never considered her strange talent to be a gift; it mostly just led her to find the dead birds her cat had tired of playing with. But now that a serial killer has begun terrorizing her small town, and the echoes of the local girls he's claimed haunt her daily, she realizes she might be the only person who can stop him.
Despite his fierce protectiveness over her, Jay reluctantly agrees to help Violet on her quest to find the murderer--and Violet is unnerved to find herself hoping that Jay's intentions are much more than friendly. But even as she's falling intensely in love, Violet is getting closer and closer to discovering a killer... and becoming his prey herself.
The Body Finder series has been on my radar since I first started blogging and reviewing over a year ago, but for some reason or another I just never got round to it. Too many books and not nearly enough time...
The Body Finder has a great premise and something that you don't see all that much of in YA - serial killers. I love adult crime novels and I couldn't wait to get stuck into a YA crime novel with a big supernatural twist. Right from the beginning Kimberly Derting managed to grab my attention and hold it, but after a few chapters the book turned into something more put-down-able. However, there was still enough great moments and good chapters to make me want to continue to go on listening.
Overall, I enjoyed most of the story but certain aspects of the book did begin to grate on me. For example, after a while I found the abundance of TELL instead of SHOW distracting. Especially in the dialogue, he said frustrated, she whispered annoyed, and on and on it went. I am a firm believer that it's ok to just say He/She said and leave it at that. Don't get creative, just leave it simple. Don't tell me how the characters are feeling, show me and let me work it out for myself.
However, even after saying that no one could deny that Kimberly Derting can certainly write. And write well. I loved the descriptions of Violet's abilities to sense the presence of dead bodies and the imprint they also leave on anyone responsible for death, it was a unique and a very clever way of manifesting her powers to find dead bodies. For more details you will just have to read the book and find out for yourself.
Now as for the main characters Violet and Jay, they were cute but more than just a bit boring and predictable. Towards the end of the book I did get a bit fed up with both of these characters. It just all felt a little clichéd and easy.
Even thou I didn't entirely love the book the narrator was brilliant, she was very clear and easy to understand. I would look out for her again in the future. But, I'm not sure that this is the best example of what makes a good audio book. I think on hindsight I would have rather have picked up a physical copy of the Body Finder to read because at times the story needed you to pay attention and sometimes my mind can and does wander when I am listening to a book.
Will I be reading the next book? Probably, I did enjoy this one but I was expecting something a lot better. I'd have to sum The Body Finder up by saying...Meh.
It was good, just not great. And definitely had some good points, but just not enough twist and turns for my liking. I think The Body Finder is unfortunately another YA book that started off well with lots of potential and ended up just falling short of the mark.
On a side note I absolutely love the covers for this series, don't they just stand out?
Three out of five stars.
Genre - YA, paranormal, crime
Audiobook - unabridged (8 hours 16 minutes - £18.99)

It all started with Nostradamus. In the days following the terrorist attacks of September 11, the 16th-century physicians name showed up on Web sites, in e-mail and in online chats nearly as often as sex or drugs. In the City of God there will be a great thunder, he was reported to have written, an assertion later refined for the skeptics to In the City of York there will be a great collapse. No matter how precise the editor made the language, though, there was always the same problem: The accounts dated Nostradamus prediction to 1654, at which point the doctor had been dead for 88 years.
Dozens, if not hundreds, of equally debunkable myths followed the phony Renaissance prophecy, some of them fueled by politics, others by fear, others by someones notion of funny. According to one report attributed to a Beirut newspaper, 4,000 Israelis were mysteriously absent from work on September 11 (the report did not specify whether the 130-some Israeli citizens now confirmed dead or reported missing were included in its figure). A sketchy news site known as World Net Daily declared that terrorists had access to secret State Department codes and could pinpoint the exact position of Air Force One. Two visions of Satan, each from a different angle, appeared in the billowing smoke; one artist doctored a photo of an unsuspecting tourist on the observation deck with a low-flying plane headed for the towers.
Myths and pranks are perhaps as predictable as the stages of grief, and perhaps also of the same piece: We are desperate to see and explain what happened, if only to know what will happen next, and to make light of it in our waking lives in order to keep it out of our dreams at night. But as the horrors of the attacks begin to sink into our collective bones, reporters have been upstaging rumormongers as documented news becomes ever more bizarre. Did a drunken band of British soccer players really expose their genitals to mourning Americans stranded in a Heathrow hotel? Could George W. Bush really have said, Im not gonna fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt? And what about that knife concealed in a cigarette lighter, recovered on the ground where United Airlines Flight 93 crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania?
The Urban Legends site www.snopes.com, run by Barbara and David Mikkelson in the San Fernando Valley, has for six years been mecca to the people who have been trying to educate others on the Internet to be more discriminating in their forwarding. Here you can still find the details of how the appeal to save National Public Radio lived on long after the bill it referred to had cleared the U.S. legislature, evidence that the Dalai Lama never encouraged followers by e-mail to approach love and cooking with reckless abandon, and a call to halt a circulated petition for the Taliban to stop mistreating women -- not least because the Talibs arent likely to care what Westerners think of their gender politics. Lately, however, the Mikkelsons have assumed a new responsibility: assuring the public that not everything collected on the Internet is a hoax.
ITEM: Collected on the Internet, September 12, 2001
There they were, out on the streets, eating some cake and making funny faces for the camera, right?
Well, theyre images of Palestinians celebrating the invasion of Kuwait in 1991!!!!!
A teacher of mine has videotapes recorded in 1991 with the very same images. Hes been sending e-mails to CNN and newspapers, denouncing what I myself classify as a Crime Against Public Opinion.
ITEM: September 16, 2001
Subject: ASSOCIATED PRESS COVER-UP OF PALESTINIAN CELEBRATIONS
Following the terrible tragedy on Tuesday, there were huge Palestinian celebrations throughout the West Bank and in East Jerusalem. Very small examples of this outrage were shown in the U.S. by Fox and the BBC. The Associated Press has videotape that shows the true extent of these events, but refuses to show them to the world under threat of retaliation by the Palestinian authorities.
ITEM: September 20, 2001

No, the pictures are not from 1991. But they may have been faked nevertheless. The current issue of the German Stern magazine has an interview with Fatma Hussein, the woman with the glasses that appears in this sequence. She states that the camera team persuaded them to shout and dance, but they didnt know the reason. The team bought some sweets for her and the kids, and then the cameraman said, If you cheer now youll get them.
Who knows whats true anymore? The unbelievable has happened: Four commercial airliners went down in one day; two skyscrapers collapsed in flames, a chunk of the Pentagon lies in ruins. Close friends have relayed reports of shredded clothing and scorched office memos littering their downtown sidewalks, of riding their bikes past car graveyards on Manhattan Island, where shards of the World Trade Centers facade stick out of once-pampered red convertibles. Can we believe this and still go on laughing, vexing over the trivia of our social lives, eating in restaurants? Do we need to know, definitively, whether the passengers on United Flight 93 -- which was presumably on its way to the White House, Camp David or a head-on encounter with Air Force One -- overpowered the hijackers, or whether a U.S. military fighter jet shot it down? Will it help to know for sure? On the Thursday following the disaster, the 48-hour point at which conspiracies dare to emerge, a businesswoman -- the kind who wears pumps and nylons and tasteful gold jewelry -- confided to me over the phone that shes convinced the Bush administration brought this on itself. Just think, she whispers, as if a lowered voice can defeat the wiretaps, what they have to gain.
In such a climate of disbelief, everything that went before seems prescient. A hip-hop group announce magnanimously that theyll replace their upcoming CDs cover art, which depicted two generic towers in flames. Microsofts Flight Simulator, in which players of mediocre ability crash into any number of world monuments, becomes a suspected terrorist-training aid. But speculation in the aftermath is simply no match for reality: Two pairs of hands bound in the airlines own flexible handcuffs are found in the debris of the twin towers. A blind man is led to safety by his dog. An Irishman named Ronnie Clifford escapes from the South Tower, only to learn that his sister, Ruth Clifford McCourt, and niece, Juliana, died on United Flight 175 when it plowed into the same building. (McCourts best friend had perished moments before on the first flight to crash into the towers.) A man may or may not have surfed the wreckage from the 81st or 70th or 44th floor to safety, sustaining only a broken limb.
When the FBI finds a flight-instruction video and a copy of the Koran in luggage left behind at Logan airport, the evidence seems so thuddingly obvious it momentarily bolsters the case of conspiracy guru David Icke. Am I in fairyland or what? he wrote to his readers. I am surprised they did not claim to have discovered a letter from bin Laden in the car wishing the occupants the best of luck with their task. Icke, who believes a global secret society called the Illuminati have been holding the reigns [sic] of power in the world since ancient times, disposes of his credibility almost immediately when he claims George W. Bush may have to be sacrificed to serve the final aims of the mysterious Illuminati. But its a strange world indeed when he makes any sense at all.
