MetroPCS says uniquely placed for Clearwire deal

- Share this
NEW YORK Oct 13 (Reuters) - MetroPCS Communications Inc sees itself as "uniquely positioned" to forge a spectrum deal with Clearwire Corp .
Clearwire shares rose 28 percent after MetroPCS Chief Financial Officer J. Braxton Carter told an investor conference a deal with Clearwire could help his company fill a shortfall in its wireless spectrum holdings.
"We think that we might be uniquely positioned to maybe do something with Clearwire," Carter said, noting MetroPCS could forge a wholesale agreement to use Clearwire spectrum in major metropolitan markets.
But Carter said he was looking at all options and also mentioned AT&T Inc as a potential source of spectrum if that operator ends up divesting spectrum to gain U.S. government approval for its proposed $39 billion purchase of T-Mobile USA, a Deutsche Telekom AG unit.
Carter's comment was source of relief for investors in Clearwire, which has most recently been subject to bankruptcy speculation triggered by comments from its biggest client and shareholder Sprint Nextel Corp on Oct. 7.
MetroPCS shares rose 43 cents or 5 percent to $8.96 after Carter's presentation. Clearwire shares rose 36 cents to $1.66 on Nasdaq after the comments. Sprint shares were up 23 cents or almost 9 percent at $2.80 on New York Stock Exchange.

December's Desura Dementia Deux - Part 5: 6180 The Moon, Potatoman Seeks the Troof and They Breathe.
By Mento 1 Comments
Welcome to the final part of December's Desura Dementia Deux, with my last batch of three titles so Indie they were games before it was cool, or something. I dunno, I've written four of these intros already. I'm just checking out some Desura games is all that I plucked out of my game list in a random fashion. They're some interesting curios, for the most part, and some could use the support for all their Greenlight pitches and whatever else they have going on. Bake sales, perhaps. Go buy a muffin.
Actually, here's something I don't think I did the previous four times: check out Indie Royale whenever they have a new bundle. Just register a profile on their site to get emails in your preferred email receptacle and buy anything that looks interesting for the <$5 they usually ask. Sure, most of the library you'll end up with are the same caliber of game you might find on Kongegrate or Armor Games for free, but you're supporting up-and-comers. That always results in a warm, fuzzy feeling. (Heck, that goes for the bundles on Groupees too. A lot of games that are only on Desura or need to be downloaded directly DRM-free end up on their reasonably-priced bundles.)
Moon Kings, King Edwards and Croa-Kings (These Are Hard, Shut Up)
The game: PokPoong's/Turtle Cream's 6180 The Moon
The source: The Indie Royale Debut Bundle.
The pre-amble: 6180 The Moon (no idea what the significance of that number is) is a puzzle-platformer in which the player must discover what happened to the Sun, as the Moon. As in, the moon of Earth. The game's chief conceit, which is to say the gimmick that sets it apart from all the other Indie puzzle-platformers out there, is that there is no ceiling or floor: the moon simply reappears at the one side of the screen after exiting the opposite.
The playthrough: 6180 The Moon is another one of these ephemeral puzzle-platformer experiences that doesn't outstay its welcome once it's done showing you everything it has in its bag of tricks. Although there are a respectable fifty stages, they sort of whizz by rather quickly, especially once you've gotten used to how its vertical-less concept works in practice. The game adds a plethora of wrinkles, of course, including a one-time power-up that halts your vertical momentum (useful, since the moon has a very high vertical leap) and obstacles like disappearing blocks and springs.
Honestly, as high-concept as flying around as a spherical rock weighing millions of tons seems, the game is quite straightforward and banal. It has a very minimalist look as well: nothing but monochrome circles and squares like an even less visually sophisticated Thomas Was Alone. I wouldn't say it was completely underwhelming, since it had an odd little plot of the moon visiting various planets to ask where the sun might be hiding in a storybook manner that reminded of Chicken Little (fitting, with the amount of falling the moon was doing) and a few of the stages did stump me for a little while. Overall, it was completed far too quickly. Turtle Cream's earlier game, Sugar Cube: Bittersweet Factory, had the same fundamental issue too. Still, if you want something to scramble your brain for an hour or so, I suppose there are worse games out there. Just keep in mind that you're destroying @video_game_king's home every time you hit one of those spikes.
The verdict: I beat it, so I won't be going back, even with the promise of harder remix levels. Even though there's nothing specifically egregious about 6180 The Moon, it's getting harder to recommend these puzzle-platformers simply because there are so many of them out there and interested parties should only be concerned with the cream of the crop or they'll just burn out on having too many to choose from. I still have Vessel and LogiGun and Closure and the Swapper among others to get through, and I'd probably put any of those above this.
The game: PixelJAM's Potatoman Seeks the Troof
The source: The Indie Royale Hammerhead Bundle.
The pre-amble: Potatoman Seeks the Troof is a self-described potatocentric existential platformer, perhaps best known for its utterly absurd trailer featuring an Idaho potato farmer talking what I imagine are real words but in no particular order that makes any sense, almost like one of those amazing BadLipReading YouTubes, while absolutely nothing of the game is shown off until the final twenty seconds. The game is actually a pixel-based platformer (I know, shocker) that is of a certain type of platformer which I consider a "true" masocore game. That is, a game where its real difficulty comes from its unpredictability: often, you'll end up having to restart a stage after losing your stock of lives because you died to too many unexpected traps and obstacles, rather than some tricky jumps. The game has a genial sense of fun about it that alleviates the frustration, thankfully, and checkpoints frequently enough.
The playthrough: Potatoman Seeks the Troof, as described by the pre-amble, is a bit like one of those Mario hacks that's all the rage with YouTube LPers and the like. Something like that Cat Mario flash game (not to be confused with the Cat Mario of Super Mario 3D World) that became Patrick's worst enemy in a fairly old Unprofessional Friday. Shit happens, with alarming frequency, and you can either depend on your lightning reflexes then and there to escape, or your keen memory to remember it for next time after respawning. You have a life counter, and losing them all forces you to restart the whole stage, but this is balanced out by the fact that most of the trickier problems in the game can be overcome relatively easily once you figure out the trick to them.
In Potatoman's defense also, there isn't a whole lot of utterly unavoidable "fuck you" deaths. Most of the "traps" will surprise you, but there's a chance you'll react in time and get past it on the first try. There are also plenty of cases where the game requires nothing but sheer precision from you without the nasty surprise part, and these end up being even more troublesome because they require actual skill rather than some rote memorization of whatever dirty tricks Potatoman was attempting to spring on you like a fake peanut can full of snakes.
Alas, the game has its share of flaws that make the already difficult platforming something of a dealbreaker situation. For one, I got amazing lag whenever the game transitioned between dying and respawning: it has this odd little filter effect that slows everything down to a crawl and doesn't dissipate until several seconds after the respawn. If you're jumping right back into whatever situation just killed you (the checkpoints are generous in that regard), then those few seconds of lag issues can really mess you up. This is probably an issue exclusive to folks like me with jank-ass computers and a few extra windows open besides, but it really made the game unplayable in spots.
The verdict: In conclusion, then, Potatoman Seeks the Troof is worth a look for its eccentricities alone, and if you're a fan of these sadistic trap-laden platformers this has slightly better production values than most of the hacks and awful flash games that are cut from the same proverbial cloth. I just found it aggravating. Cool trailer, though.
The game: The Working Parts' They Breathe.
The source: The Groupees Adventure Role-Playing Bundle.
The pre-amble: They Breathe is an action game wherein the player controls a frog attempting to reach the bottom of his pond for unknown (by me at least) reasons. As an amphibian, the frog protagonist needs regular air bubbles to stay alive, and must do so while avoiding the various dangers beneath the water's surface. Though a cartoon frog going on frog adventures sounds all cute and dandy, They Breathe is a very disturbing game due to its ominous underwater ambience and the beckoning darkness of the abyss below. Oh, and those jellyfish...
The playthrough: I probably jumped the gun with that pre-amble, but They Breathe ain't your standard Frog Fractions experience (as if there's anything "standard" about that game). The game takes place in waves of enemies: a lot of the time you're simply avoiding them and catching all the air bubbles before they can reach them, since they also subsist off them. When you get a little deeper, the enemies start to become more hostile and less concerned with breathing air bubbles than you are.
I can't really describe the game's atmosphere without showing it in action, since the game does a masterful job of building tension by having the screen dip a little lower after each successive wave, with the background getting less and less recognizable the deeper into this pond you go. A pond that presumably leads all the way to hell, or at least the depths of the Mariana Trench. Equally disturbing are the game's first (and possibly only, I didn't get far enough) real enemy: a vicious type of jellyfish that swims after you and tries to suffocate you within its gelatin body. Previously, there had been what resemble weird cow enemies, and it's only after meeting the jellyfish do you realize what you're seeing:
...and you see the corpses of other frogs, frozen with a rictus grin, that the jellyfishes are apparently controlling parasitically. Yeesh.
Unfortunately, for as disturbingly cool as some of its elements are, the game is a bit of a repetitive grind. There aren't too many enemy types and they'll come at you over and over, with a slight variation on the number you face and the occasional additional hurdle like poisonous green air bubbles to avoid. It takes a long time getting to where it's going, and a little more variation (or a lot less filler) could really do this game wonders. It also didn't help that the game crashed on me, but I'm starting to accept that as normal with a few of these Indie games. Hell, it's not like AAA games crashing intermittently isn't the rule these days rather than the exception either.
The verdict: Maybe. I am slightly interested in where this game is heading, beyond simply "downwards". I can't imagine things are going to get any brighter the further into the darkness we go (though I hope it's not a giant pair of eyes and a whole lot of loud radio static, like a certain Oculus Rift game). It hasn't been a whole lot of fun to play so far though, and definitely too repetitive by half.
Well, that's that for another year. Thanks to all of you for checking out these Desura blogs, despite how these games can be a tad bit on the obscure side (and for good reason, in a lot of cases). I still feel it's worth reaching into the mystery box from time to time though, if only to see what the big Indie developers of tomorrow are up to with their bizarre little freshman projects. Whether I pulled out a winner or got my hand bitten by that venomous treestump monster from Flash Gordon (man, what a timely reference), it's hopefully been an entertaining read.

Tanning Beds And Cancer: Study Finds Equipment Causes Over 170,000 Skin Cancer Cases In U.S. Every Year

[quote:smilesun:MV8yMDA5MjIzXzMzNzYwMDc1X0Y3MDQzNTY0] [quote:Anonymous Coward 25013614:MV8yMDA5MjIzXzMzNzU4MjM2XzhCRjEyNzhC] Bottom line is, did any of 80,000 these people ever actually develop malignant skin cancer? The report would be much more helpful if they included that information in the study. As it is, why did they even bother to do the study? Did they have 80,000 people in control group of people who didn't use tanning beds, same age ranges, life style, family medical history, etc.? Quote below article from USA (same link as you gave) from USA Today: [b]"That suggests indoor tanning is responsible for about 5% of [u]non-melanoma skin cancers[/u], the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the USA, says Thomas Glynn, director of cancer science and trends at the American Cancer Society." [/b] And they studied 80,000 cases back to 1977 - a period of 35 years. From that, they get that suntan beds cause 170,000 cases EACH YEAR? Geesh, I'd like to see the whole study. Then later they say "hundreds of thousands". I think this is just another disinfo "scientific" research scare ploy to discourage people from getting Vitamin D, any way they can. But then, I don't believe much of any research headlines I see these days, especially from certain universities. They identified nonmelanoma skin cancer in tanning bed users. Big deal. Thing is, that can come just as easily without sun exposure. Not to get too personal here, but all my moles are wherever clothing rubs...ALL along the bra line, waist, etc. Where the sun don't shine, and I don't use tanning beds. Some of them are pretty big, but the docs won't remove them (cheap HMO, wouldn't remove husband's on his back, either). To put into a little more perspective, read what the various kinds of skin cancer, malignant and non-malignant, are. They should still be removed, but as we grow older, everyone gets them. https://www.caring4cancer.com/go/skin/basics/what-is-nonmelanoma-skin-cancer.htm "Indoor tanning is associated with a significantly increased risk of both basal and squamous cell skin cancer," concluded the USCF study's authors." So, did they report the percent of people who thereafter did develop [u]malignant[/u] skin cancer during the 35 year period? Sorry, but just not impressed with this "scientific" research. [/quote] Tanning Beds Tanning beds are not safe. Both UVA and UVB rays cause cancer. Tanning beds often exceed "safe" UV limits, despite the claims of the salon. Teens are at special risk because their bodies are undergoing such accelerated growth rates that their cells are more prone to the damage of the UV radiation. By routinely tanning their skin starting at a young age, teens put themselves at greater lifetime risk of developing skin cancer. Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to get a sunburn in a tanning bed, and your eyes are at an increased risk of developing cataracts and corneal burns. My Salon Says Their Tanning Beds are Safe I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but salons are merely marketing their wares and not telling you the truth. Salons may take the position that their tanning beds only make use of UVA rays, and tell you that they aren't quite as dangerous as UVB rays. A recent study in Australia has proven that UVA rays are even more of a cancer danger than previously thought. Some salons try to persuade you that you need to get more vitamin D into your system, possibly even to prevent osteoporosis. While it may be true that you need more Vitamin D, the amount of time you need to spend in the sun in order to absorb Vitamin D is far less than is required for a tan. UV Radiation UV radiation comes from the sun and from tanning beds. UV radiation damages our skin and adversely affects our immune system. As previously mentioned, one blistering sunburn increases your risk of developing melanoma, which is a very dangerous and lethal skin cancer. You are also 2.5 times more likely to develop basal cell carcinoma and 1.5 times more likely to develop squamous cell carcinoma. http://www.doctoroz.com/blog/susan-evans-md/dangers-tanning-beds [/quote]
Original Message
Indoor tanning beds cause over 170,000 cases of non-melanoma skin cancer in the United States every year, according to a new study conducted by researchers at UC San Francisco.
"The numbers are striking--hundreds of thousands of cancers each year are attributed to tanning beds,'' Dr. Eleni Linos, assistant professor of dermatology at UCSF and senior author of the study, said in a statement. "This creates a huge opportunity for cancer prevention.''
The study analyzed more than 80,000 cases of non-melanoma skin cancer stretching back to 1977, finding that people who used tanning beds are 67 percent more likely to develop squamous cell carcinoma and 29 percent more likely to develop basal cell carcinoma than those who don't. Drawing from a trio of prior reports that also examined the ages of tanners, the study noted an even larger cancer risk for people who used the beds while under the age of 25.
While non-malignant on their own, U.S. Health News explains that both basal cell skin cancer and squamous cell carcinomas can spread to other parts of the body, such as bones or lymph nodes, where they can become fatal.
A 2007 study out of the University of Iowa's Department of Dermatology found that exposure to tanning beds also significantly increases the risk of developing malignant melanoma, especially in women over age 45.
"Indoor tanning is associated with a significantly increased risk of both basal and squamous cell skin cancer," concluded the USCF study's authors. "These findings contribute to the growing body of evidence on the harms of indoor tanning and support public health campaigns and regulation to reduce exposure to this carcinogen."

"Florida State is a very good team this year. They got off to a rough start this season with a key injury in their lineup, but they've just returned to their full roster, and with him in the lineup they are one of the better teams in the ACC."
Kenny Thorne
"We're very early in the flu season this year. We're seeing very sporadic activity in seven states, and one state with local activity, but it's way at the very early stages. So it's difficult to predict how severe the season will be, when it will take off, and when it will peak, and what ultimately the spectrum of impact will be,"
Julie Gerberding
"Last year our outdoor team was the state runner up. I said at the end of last season, that this year we were going to be looking to win it. If everything goes right, we should be in the mix to win it."
Joe Bienasz
"It was a good way to start the season. We have a totally different team this year. It was good to see them playing against someone else."
Dave Weisfeldt
"Only two teams finish the season with a win -- the team that wins the state title and the third-place finisher. The fact that we ended up where we did, I think we surpassed what many people thought we could accomplish. That's a credit to our girls."
Gina Nolan
"Teams go through ebbs and flows during the season. It's rare that a team goes start to finish constantly climbing."
Larry Davis
"We have a depth on our team that most teams find hard to match. We started the season with 50 players in our program, and have to run two different practices to get everyone some work in."

Summary: It's Halloween and the Head Boy and Head Girl are stuck in the greenhouses for detention. Will they escape the clutches of the deadly Devil's Snare…or worse, one another?
A lighthearted tale for Halloween, not to be read in the greenhouse.
Love this! (There isn't really much else I could say to describe it, sorry! :D)

Summary: Lisa Turpin - new recruit to Dumbledore's Army - is determined to prove her worth to the team. But when Ginny Weasley informs her that her patrol partner has changed, she isn't at all happy. Susan Bones is not a girl she's had much to do with, for the Hufflepuff girl has never excelled at anything.
But can an hour on patrol, and an accident with a foul smelling egg change things between them?
This story was an emergency fic for Natalie's birthday (in case I pulled the other one), but is also a Halloween tale about life under Snape and the Carrows. I have to thank Alex (welshdevondragon) for beta'ing and being AIM available for a chat.
Disclaimer: I'm not JK Rowling. You know that, don't you?
Wow - I never even considered this ship, but after 3 chapters I already love them to pieces. Awesome writing as always!

A photograph and a slew of memories were all that remained of Remus Lupin's schoolboy romance with Marlene McKinnon. But she was gone, and he gagged on all the things he never said.
This story is dedicated to the gorgeous and always-inspiring Equinox Chick/Carole/Croll of the Dungeon. May your minions never stray in their worship of you. It was inspired by a rather gorgeous song by The Cure, called Pictures of You.
This story has been nominated for a 2012 Quicksilver Quill Award: Best Marauder Era.
Beautiful, short and sweet.
The Unbreakable Curse by Karaley Dargen
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 62]
Summary: In 1993, Bill Weasley is working on a tomb in Egypt with a team of Magiarchaeologists and Curse-Breakers. It is a job like any other ... or so it seems, until members of the expedition start dying, and Bill has to race against time to figure out what exactly it is that they awakened in the tomb of Mentuhotep, and how it can be stopped before it reaches him.
The following are characters from JKR's creations: Bill Weasley, Ragnok, Agatha Chubb (QttA), and the last names of Deverill and Pilliwickle. I don't own them and never will!
I owe a large debt to Hannah (coolh5000), Carole (EquinoxChick), and Natalie (hestiajones) for their constant encouragement and help at various stages of this story.
Fair Warning: Some of the reviews (naturally) contain spoilers, especially those towards the end. So if you want to be safe, don't read those before you read the story.
This story just WON a 2012 QSQ Award in the General category, as best chaptered story. THANK YOU!!!
A really great original story which, although it uses JKR's characters, seems to reinvent each of them. I've seen Bill in a new light and hope to read more of your fics soon!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for your review! :)
Summary: Spring, 1979: When both their love and their lives are tested by Dark magic, James Potter and Lily Evans must defy Voldemort for the first of more confrontations to come during the first Wizarding War.
Winner, Quicksilver Quill Award for Best Marauder Era story
A lovely little short story which I love. I do think that in Lily's situation at the end I would have been a bit more indignant but I do love the ending overall. I suspected that James would already have a ring :) Keep writing more great fics!
The Heart's Translation by noblefate
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 6]
Summary: Lily Evans hates James Potter; he's reckless, careless, hopeless. James Potter loves Lily Evans; she's feisty, forward, firm. Over their years at Hogwarts, both of them change, and their love eventually becomes the stuff of legend. This is the story of how that love started and how it touched the lives of everyone they knew.
Great story; I can't wait to see where it leads. I really enjoy your writing style and characterisations. Please update soon!
Author's Response: I'm glad you're enjoying this. It's coming slowly and somewhat out-of-sequence, so once James and the gang decide to show up when I need them and not before or after, I'll have another chapter posted. Thanks for reading! ~ Megan
Strong Enough to Break by Acacia Carter
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 12]
Summary: It had been three years since his wife's death, but the first woman to make him feel something is the last woman he'd have thought. The fact that he's closer in age to her father than to her does not help matters.
Otherwise known as All Soraya's Fault.
Important note: I used the Student/Teacher warning as a precaution; the relationship in this story is between a teacher and his former student, for whom he had no feelings while she was under his tutelage. Just to be clear.
Another important note: I'm not JKR. She has a much nicer house.
A great story - I was sceptical of the pairing at first but your intricate storytelling pulled at my heartstrings and made me believe in them. Please keep writing!
Dragons on the Water by Gmariam
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 10]
Summary: Charlie Weasley loves his job in Romania: he was born to lead the life of a carefree dragon keeper. Yet when a new keeper from Wales arrives to help with a difficult Chinese Fireball, Charlie is forced to take on a partner, when he'd rather work alone. And this new keeper challenges him in more ways than one…
Love, love, love this ship! I've enjoyed all the fics of yours that I've read, but this is one of the first original ships that I've agreed with. I couldn't see how you could possibly end this tale in such a short space of time but it was true perfection.
How to be Beautiful by BrokenPromise
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 5]
Narcissa Black and Lucius Malfoy were put on earth for each other: the most perfect soulmate the other could find. But life wasn't going to make it easy for them…
This is a story of young love, stubbornness, misunderstanding and forgiveness. This is the story of them.
I have upped the rating for later chapters. However, most warnings are for milder instances.
Great fic - please update soon!
Diffraction by Equinox Chick
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 10]
Summary: Diffraction - the phenomenon where light encounters an obstacle.
It is September the first, and a sixth-year boy takes photographs of excited children on platform nine-and-three-quarters. Everyone looks happy, but Aaron Harper's heart is leaden. He can deal with the girl he fancies going out with the obnoxious Hugo Weasley, but coping at Hogwarts with no support from his father could be one obstacle too many.
This is Equinox Chick of Hufflepuff and this is my story for the Character Clinic OC challenge: Prompt 1.
Disclaimer: I'm not JKR: Hogwarts isn't mine, neither is Hugo Weasley, but Aaron Harper and Genister Avery are.
I love this ship! Somehow, despite using only 2 chapters, you have managed to hook me in and tell a story which was unrushed and paced well. Definitely going to keep an eye out for any chaptered fics that may arrive :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much. I had an idea for this couple after writing a small bit about Genister in my chaptered fic, High, and then expanded on Aaron in a fic called Swans. I am so pleased you enjoyed the story because I do think it's hard holding the interest with a pair of OC's. Thanks again ~Carole~
Pulling the Strings by Acacia Carter
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 27]
Summary: FACT: There had been a death at Hogwarts.
FACT: Deceased was a sixteen-year-old male by the name of Marcus Akers, a Gryffindor student in his sixth year.
FACT: Deceased had had contact with Neville Longbottom between 19:00 and 22:13 the previous evening.
FACT: The poison was administered in a near-exact amount.
FACT: Neville Longbottom is familiar with one of the possible poisons used in the murder.
FACT: Marcus Akers had been romantically involved with Magnolia Longbottom.
SUSPECT: Neville Longbottom. Male, 43, head of Gryffindor House at Hogwarts.
Thank you to the ever inestimable Soraya for the beta and Ellie for helping me reconstruct the story after my planning file was corrupted.
This is Acacia Carter of Hufflepuff writing for the Great Hall Chaptered Challenge of 2012.
As other reviewers have said, this is an amazing story which NEEDS TO BE CONCLUDED! Seriously ;)
Summary: Seven months after leaving Hogwarts, James Potter is fighting for the Order of the Phoenix. When Lily Evans joins the resistance, his life is turned upside down. He'd proposed, after all, and she had said no. How could they work together now, after so much history together? Or could they find another chance amidst the war?
Love this fic, and how you write James/Lily! Have been trying to write a Marauder One-Shot and this is exactly how I want to capture their relationship.
The Beginning of After by 1000timesingoldenink
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 14]
Summary: "Not good--I mean, not bad. Uh, you?"
"I'm alive," she said cheerfully.
The first three days after the battle, from the perspectives of Hermione, Ginny, and Luna.
A really nice, heart-warming fic about the days after the Battle, but I would have liked to have Hermione's mini-storyline concluded.
A Palisade of Persuasion by Equinox Chick
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 69]
Summary: It was true that Daphne and Lee had met at a most inappropriate time, but they had found love, lust and the glimmerings of a life together.
But the power of persuasion should never be underestimated. When they meet again, years later, his indifference cuts to her core. Can the past ever truly be recaptured?
This story is a present for Julia (the opaleye) because she is amazingly talented and has inspired me in so many ways. It is also her brthday.
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling.
I am not Jane Austen.
I am not Sporty, Scary, Baby, Ginger or Posh.
Winner of the 2013 QSQ Best Chaptered Non-Canon Romance ~ I am gobsmacked and grateful to everyone especially JK Rowling, Jane Austen and the Spice Girls.
Eeeeeek! ... I think that pretty much sums it up ;)
Author's Response: Hee hee. Hope that's a good 'eeek'. The Epilogue will follw soon, and then that's it. Thank you for reading and reviewing. ~Carole~
Loving this fic - so many plot twists!
Author's Response: Yayayay, thank you! I'm certainly having a lot of fun writing it and catching up with persuasion as well. :D ~Carole
I haven't read that particular work of Austen, but I'll definitely give it a read given how much I've loved this fic :) Seriously good! (I'd say something super fancy, but I'm still smiling from that ending!)
Author's Response: Glad you're smiling. Persuasion is a lovely book; I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for the review. ~Carole~
Love and Order by Gmariam
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 41]
Summary: When impulsive new Auror Alice Hamilton is partnered with the more serious and experienced Frank Longbottom, neither is quite sure what to expect. They have a history, after all, and a different way of approaching the job. Yet in a world where dark forces continue to threaten the safety and security of the magical community, they must work together in spite of their feelings--especially when it becomes clear that You-Know-Who is planning a major offensive that will threaten both their relationship and their lives.
I love Alice and Frank's relationship and the realistic way that you write. Keep up the awesome work, and I look forward to the battle!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm so glad you are enjoying this story. I'm working on the battle but boy, it's hard work. ;) Hopefully it will work itself out soon. Thank you again for the review! ~Gina :)
Uncovered by Death by Equinox Chick
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 82]
Summary: All Scorpius Malfoy had wanted on the Saturday before Halloween was to spend some time in Hogsmeade alone with his girlfriend, Lily Potter. But Fate appeared to have other plans. Not only is her annoying cousin Hugo Weasley tagging along, but in the aftermath of a violent storm, a body is uncovered.
Working with his boss, Head Auror Harry Potter, to discover the identity of the victim, and the truth of her death, Scorpius quickly learns that not all skeletons are buried underground.
This is a the sequel to High. It is not necessary to read that to understand this, but what the heck, you might just enjoy it!
Many, many thanks to Kara (Karaley Dargen) for not only beta'ing this story, but putting up with the tortuous search for a title.
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling, but I think you know that.
Uncovered by Death won the 2013 QSQ for Best Chaptered Next Generation Story. Thank you very much.
Eeeek! Can't wait for the final 2 chapters - have loved this fic and can't wait to read more mystery fics from you :)
Author's Response: Thank you. Um, not sure how many more there will be as I'm really easing up on fanfiction so I can concentrate on original fiction. I have loved planning and plotting this, though, so if anything tempts me it will be something along the mystery lines. Thank you for all your reviews. ~Carole

Music: Geoff Tate hands over Dark Money
Geoff Tate has released a lyric video for Dark Money, the lead track from his upcoming solo album Kings and Thieves.
Setting aside his continuing legal battles with his former Queensryche bandmates, the vocalist focuses on America's class struggle in the new track, which gave the album its title.
Tate says: "People in the United States, and all over the world, are getting upset with how big the class difference is between the rich and the rest of us.
"It's a drastic difference. People are counting their pennies and losing their homes while others are multi-millionres and giving their money to political action groups.
"I'm not really a political person, but I am interested in social commentary and what happens to people because of politics. Dark Money is about how thing that are important to everyday people are looked on as little more than pawns in a chess game by politicians."
Kings and Thieves is released on October 29.

Let's Catch Up: American Vollmer Sets Olympic Record; First Medals Are Won
Originally published on Sat July 28, 2012 12:41 pm
Good morning. Here's a rundown of what's been happening in and around London, on the morning after the Summer Olympics' opening ceremony:
- U.S. swimmer Dana Vollmer set new Olympic and U.S. records in her 100m butterfly qualifying heat this morning. Vollmer, of Granbury, Texas, had a time of 56.25 seconds. She says she can go faster.
- The first medals have now been awarded in the London 2012 Olympics, with China's Yi Siling winning gold in the 10-meter air rifle shooting competition. Poland took silver, and China took bronze, as well.
- Weightlifter Hysen Pulaku, 20, has been tossed from the games, after testing positive for a forbidden substance. Olympic officials say Pulaku, an Albanian, had stanozolol (a synthetic anabolic steroid) in his system.
- South Korean gold medalist Park Tae-hwan won his 400m freestyle heat — but a judge disqualified him for a false start. His team is protesting. Update at 12:41 p.m. EDT: Park has been reinstated "after a video review," FINA executive director Cornel Marculescu tells the AP.
- Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte will swim in the final of the 400m individual medley at 2:30 p.m. EDT. Phelps qualified in the eighth, and final, spot.
We'll follow that swimming matchup and other events as they happen. Thanks for joining us today!

And yet state liquor stores haven't eliminated alcoholism in the state. So it's both wrong AND a red herring. Also, if you're not looking to attack me you might consider backing off statements like "[t]he only people who run out after 10 for booze are alcoholics." Your exact words. Still standing by that statement?
I have run out after 10 for booze. Generally for an unplanned get-together that happened to come up...after 10. Some of us don't maintain well-stocked liquor cabinets in our house just in case. So maybe alcoholics, people without a ton of money to invest in stocking their home bar, and people under 50 who don't go to bed before 60 Minutes is over?
But there -I- go generalizing. I probably shouldn't do that, eh?
Again, maybe if the legislature had addressed this earlier (and if people in the minority, which at least seems to include you, had been willing to accept the inevitable result and help shape the legislation) we'd have gotten a better solution. But the state was always going to get kicked out of the liquor business, and with good reason.
Even if you think restricting liquor sales after 10 would have saved your loved ones, that would be better accomplished through regulation of private sales, not government-run sales. Many states do precisely that...though IIRC the cutoff in AZ was midnight, not ten.

Etisalat launches mobile health solution
Dubai, October 19, 2010
Etisalat has unveiled an interactive application that will harness mobile technology for providing vital, relevant and customized information on healthcare at the ongoing Gitex 2010 in Dubai.
Users of mHealth application will be able to seek medical information, pertaining to a wide variety of topics on men's health, women's health, children's health and psychological health, using their mobiles.
Users will also be able to seek active medical advice from consultants on their chosen topics such as obesity and diet, exercise and sports, diabetes etc., regularly via SMS.
Based on the Etisalat's Value SMS platform, mHealth will enable users to send their relevant health related information like their weight and age, to a 4 digit code.
Depending on the information provided, users will receive personalized information and updates on their body mass index, daily calorie requirement and daily water requirement.
Users will also be able to access quick information and consultation, and receive active SMS alerts on the health topics of their choice.
"In today's fast paced life, health is the most neglected aspect. I believe it is critical for telecom leaders to harness the benefits that mobile technology can bring to healthcare, in both sociological and economic terms," Abdulla Hashim, senior vice president, business solutions at Etisalat.
"Mobile technology can promote quality healthcare by providing relevant information and timely advice. The mHealth service, by Etisalat, will be an excellent example of our vision and the active role a telecom leader can play in improving the quality of healthcare through real time, collaborative, clinical information sharing."
"With the high incidence of many chronic diseases, like diabetes, widespread in the UAE, such an application will not only increase user awareness on such chronic ailments, but also encourage people to take regular health check-ups and make them medically aware," Hashim added. – TradeArabia News Service

After looking for several weeks, I have found a really cute little black mare who seems to fit the bill. She is 7 years old and 13.3hh. She has spent the last couple months standing in the back yard because she was bought for a little girl who was too scared of horses to do anything but be lead around on her. What sold me on her was that when I went to go see her, I looked at her in the back yard while a boy played with a goat, jumping and carrying on, two girls jumped on a trampoline not 10 feet from us, and another little one was yelling and swinging. Through all this, she stood just as calm as you please and let me look her over and pick up her feet.
I have someone coming to ride her in a couple weeks who is very petite, but also very experienced so I can get a real idea of what she knows. I am so excited to get her home and start doing ground work and put a little weight on her. She is not in bad shape, but you can tell she needs some TLC.

Now That Lundqvist Is Signed, Who's Next?
Now that Henrik Lundqvist's contract situation is out of the way, Glen Sather only has 13 more free agents (UFA & RFA) to address.
The next situation likely tackled is Ryan Callahan (UFA, $4.275M per currently), who recently admitted nothing was going on with contract negotiations right now (via New York Post)...
"This is where I want to be, obviously. But like I said, I'm not going to air it out in the media about my contract and what's going on. Just go about my business on the ice, and that stuff takes care of itself."
...similar to Lundqvist, I have real concerns about signing Callahan long term. Especially with his history of injury. Callahan will likely be looking for six years, but I'd much rather see four at the most. Ultimately, I think it ends the way Lundqvist's negotiations did and both sides compromise with a five year deal in the $5.5 million dollar range.
...the Ludnqvist contract, to me, is a strong statement that the Rangers organization still believes in the core of the team, so I don't think there's anyway Sather allows Callahan to walk and will probably end up overpaying for his injury-prone Captain.
Meanwhile, Dan Girardi, also a UFA making $3.325M per, refused to discuss his contract situation after the Lundqvist signing, while Anton Stralman (UFA, $1.7M per) does not expect that his contract will be addressed until the offseason.

Zalto: The Ultimate Pinot Noir Glass
Last week, two of my life long friends and I, known locally as the Local Lunch Gals, went to one of downtown Eugene's newest and finest restaurants: Soubise. We were invited to come for dinner to experience their wine and food while the filming of an upcoming Rick Dancer TV show was taking place – the Local Lunch Gals were being featured in this particular episode, which was food-centric.
As impressive and delicious as the food at Soubise was, and you can read our raving review here, I was totally swept off of my feet by the Burgundy wine glasses that arrived alongside a bottle of Ayres 2011 Perspective Ribbon Ridge Pinot Noir. Stunningly gorgeous, I immediately asked our server the brand name of the glasses, and he said, " Zalto Denk`Art, they're made in Austria." There's not much out there that gets me more excited than stellar stemware, indeed, I am an admitted wine glass snob - I just had to find out more about Zalto.
One of the co-owners of Soubise, Cory Stamp, came over to the table with the whole line of Zalto glasses, along with my beloved Riedel Oregon Pinot Noir glass. He explained that Zalto glasses were the best of the best, and I'm sure he could see my doubt as he poured some Pinot Noir into the Riedel and into the Zalto – I have been a huge fan of Riedel's Oregon Pinot Noir glass for a very long time. I swirled and sniffed the Pinot out of the Zalto Burgundy glass and also swirled and sniffed the Pinot from the Riedel – I instantly noticed a difference. Alcohol was more pronounced in the Riedel, and the aromas were not as fruit-focused as they were in the Zalto. The texture of the Pinot from the Zalto was amazingly luxurious: silky waves of cherries, orange peel, earth and fall spices flowed in seamless waves from the front of the palate all the way to the lengthy, ambrosial finish. Acidity was smooth and balanced out the fruity characteristics to perfection.
I can't believe I'm about to write this. The wine from the Zalto was all around richer, silkier and juicier than the wine from the Riedel. Aromas and flavors were more pronounced and completely alluring. The acidity was definitely more pronounced in the Riedel, and being the acid hound that I am, this isn't a bad thing. But, that Zalto….wow. It's not that I won't ever use a Riedel again, it's what I have at home and use with all Pinot Noirs and Champagnes, but I must also get myself a Zalto.
I Googled Zalto on my iPhone to see the price. Wine Enthusiast sells them for a whopping $63.95 per glass, and here's what they have to say about the Zalto Burgundy glass:
Introducing a new generation of mouth-blown, lead-free and dishwasher-safe wine glasses, the ZALTO DENK`ART Collection, luxury stemware you could sense from your fingertips to the moment you take your first sip.
From the first touch, each Zalto glass distinguishes itself from all other glasses. From the perfectly executed balance to the extraordinary design, the achievement of the Denk`Art line are glasses that seem nearly too delicate to hold, and yet they are made for just that. This is glassware that stands at the rarefied point where form meets function. This is art.
The development of the Denk`Art series was influenced by the earth in accordance to the tilt angles of the Earth. Thus, the curve of the bowls are tilted at the angles of 24 degrees, 48 degrees and 72 degrees.
The Zalto Denk'Art Burgundy glass is recommended for powerful and expressive wines above 13% alcohol. The shape of the bowl integrates the components of the wine, bringing to the foreground the fruit and sweeter notes. Especially For: Pinot Noir, Nebbiolo, Barbera, Chardonnay, Gruener Veltliner and Cognac. Lead-Free. Dishwasher-Safe.
Dimensions: 9″ height, 32 ounces
It's time for me to start saving some money, the Zalto Denk`Art Burgundy glass is a must-have for a Pinot Noir enthusiast like me. As @WineMonger stated on Twitter (when I announced that I had just discovered my new favorite wine glass), "Welcome to your new addiction…(worth it)."

Vt. wind project fined for violationsDecember 05,2012
MILTON The developer of a four-turbine wind power project in the towns of Milton and Georgia agreed to pay a $10,000 fine and contribute another $10,000 to a remediation fund for violations of its state permits during blasting for the project that is nearing completion.
The Vermont Public Service Board issued the order to Georgia Mountain Community Wind last week. Its the result of a negotiated settlement with surrounding neighbors.
We want to be good neighbors. We wanted an amicable resolution as quickly as possible, said Georgia Mountain wind project manager Martha Staskus.
The company acknowledged that rock from blasting a road up the mountain likely flew onto a neighboring property with enough force to leave marks on trees, the Burlington Free Press reported.
The company also admitted violating a permit by twice failing to provide enough notice to neighbors of blasting and by blasting on a state holiday.
Dan Richardson, the attorney for the group of five neighbors, said the settlement was the only way the neighbors could address their concerns about the impact of the project on their properties.
I think they chose the settlement that would put them in a better place than prolonged hearings, Richardson said. It is fair to say Georgia Mountain negotiated in good faith but I wouldnt say they are all good friends.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Five Vermont colleges announced Thursday theyll participate in a program that...

TAMPA, FL -- (Marketwired) -- 10/18/13 -- TheDirectory.com, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SEEK), an emerging leader in the Local search space, today released the following shareholder update following its investor conference call held on October 17th.
Dear Shareholders,
I was very pleased with the amazing turnout for our shareholder conference call yesterday. On our last 2 conference calls we have averaged over 200 listeners. I wanted to take a moment today and detail some of the key points and dates from our call as well as provide everyone with the replay information. First and foremost the next big event for our Company comes, in my opinion, the week of November 4th when we file our form 10 and formally become an SEC Exchange Act Reporting Company and complete the first phase of our up-listing away from the pink sheets. Other important dates we announced on the call are December 16th when we'll release our unaudited preliminary 2013 full year revenue numbers that will confirm our 5th consecutive year of revenue growth. In mid-January we'll file our 2013 audit. Then we head into 2014 -- we strive to produce our 6th consecutive year of revenue growth in what we think will be our breakout year for TheDirectory.com.
With the completion of our up-listing in November and our recent acquisition we'll have achieved the 2 most important goals I outlined in my letter to the shareholder in July of this year. I thank you all for your support and look forward to an exciting year for TheDirectory.com, Inc.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Al Dvorin, the concert announcer who made famous the phrase "Elvis has left the building," was killed in an auto accident in California. He was 81.

President Obama lights National Christmas Tree
Dvorin was thrown from the car he was riding in Sunday after it swerved off a desert road near Ivanpah, the California Highway Patrol said.
The night before, Dvorin performed his signature closing line at an Elvis impersonator concert in California.
A former bandleader and talent agent in Chicago, Dvorin was with the King from his early days as a performer and was on his last tour in 1977, the year Presley died.
The phrase that Dvorin made his signature was first uttered by other announcers early in Presley's career. It was intended to disperse audiences who lingered in hopes of an Elvis encore.
"Al made it his own with his particular style," said Todd Morgan, a spokesman with the Presley estate in Memphis. "He's the man when it comes to that saying."
Dvorin's version was captured on many recordings of Elvis' performances and has become a pop-culture catchphrase and punchline.
Dvorin told The Desert Sun of Palm Springs, Calif., in an interview published Saturday that he had not heard others use the phrase before he began saying it.
"Everybody and his brother has claimed the line, and I'm sure Elvis' mother, when somebody called him, said, 'Elvis is not home. Elvis has left the building,"' Dvorin said. "As far as I know, I created it."
