A new study suggests concussions may affect a child's brain even after the symptoms subside.
The majority of concussion studies involve adults, so researchers wanted to see if children were more vulnerable to head injury.
They examined 15 children who had suffered a mild head trauma and monitored structural changes to the white matter in their brains.
The changes that were present two weeks after the injury remained more than three months later, even if they felt no symptoms.
Experts say it appears children are more vulnerable to brain injury and should be followed more closely after a concussion.

Hillsong United
Christian rock and worship group Hillsong United spun out of Australia's Hillsong Church, a Pentecostal ministry based in northwest Sydney. Founded in August 1983 by New Zealand natives Brian and Bobbie Houston, Hillsong Church was first known as Hills Christian Life Centre. At launch, the congregation counted just 45 members, but grew to 900 within four years. As the church's music ministry evolved, in 1986 the Houstons founded the Hillsong Conference, an annual event created to teach and nurture contemporary Christian musicians. A live CD titled The Power of Your Love hit retail in 1992, featuring singers/songwriters Geoff Bullock and Darlene Zschech, both mainstays on the myriad Hillsong albums to follow. By the end of the decade, the Hillsong brand was so well-known that in 1999 the Houstons renamed the church Hillsong as well. Around the same time, Brian's father, the famous Pentecostal pastor Frank Houston, was embroiled in controversy when he confessed to molesting a teenage boy some three decades earlier. Hillsong remained a lightning rod, facing concerns from government leaders and journalists alike over its extreme political stance and reliance on donated funds. The juggernaut surged forward, however, and in 2004 the live Hillsong release For All You've Done topped the mainstream Australian pop charts. A year later, more than 30,000 people attended July's Hillsong Conference. By early 2006, the Houstons counted more than 19,000 parishioners attending services each week. Hillsong United began as Hillsong Church's youth ministry band. Originally dubbed United Live, the group was first led by singers/songwriters Reuben Morgan and Marty Sampson. Their 1999 debut, Everyday, established their creative template: each album was recorded live at the annual October youth conference Encounterfest -- enabling contributions from a variety of church members, friends, and supporters, including the popular Christian folk chanteuse Brooke Fraser -- and released on CD and DVD early the following year. When Morgan left United Live in 2002 to mount a solo career, the Houstons' son Joel took his place, prompting the name change to Hillsong United. In the years to follow their popularity snowballed on both sides of the equator, with 2006's United We Stand emerging as the year's best-selling Christian LP at Canadian retail. All of the Above found similar success in 2007, as did 2009's a_CROSS//the_EARTH: Tear Down the Walls and the accompanying live album Faith + Hope + Love. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

The Amazing Albatrosses
They fly 50 miles per hour. Go years without touching land. Predict the weather. Mate for life. And they're among the world's most endangered birds. Can albatrosses be saved?
- By Kennedy Warne
- Smithsonian magazine, September 2007, Subscribe
Through the fog steamed our yacht, Mahalia, sliding down gray ocean swells. The gale that had kept us in port for three days in the Chatham Islands, east of New Zealand, had blown itself out, and banks of sea mist lolled in its wake. A fogbow formed on the horizon, and through its bright arch albatrosses rose and fell in an endless roller-coaster glide. Ahead, the mist thinned to reveal a fang of rock rearing 570 feet out of the sea: the Pyramid, the sole breeding site of the Chatham albatross. Around its shrouded summit the regal birds wheeled by the hundreds, their plangent wails and strange kazoo-like cackles echoing off the black volcanic slopes.
The Mahalia's skipper lowered an inflatable dinghy and ran me ashore. Fur seals roused themselves to watch our approach, then, taking fright, tobogganed into the sea. The skipper positioned the craft against a barnacled rock face—no mean feat in the six-foot swells—and I jumped, gripping rubbery stalks of bull kelp and pulling myself up to a jumble of boulders. Sidestepping the fetid pools where seals had been lying, I scrambled up to the only level part of the island, an area about the size of a tennis court, where Paul Scofield, an ornithologist and expert on the Chatham albatross, and his assistant Filipe Moniz had pitched tents, anchoring them with three-inch-long fishhooks wedged into crevices in the rock.
A few feet away a partly fledged Chatham albatross chick stood up on its pedestal nest, yawned and shook its shaggy wings. Then it flumped down with the stoical look one might expect from a creature that had sat on a nest for three months and had another month or two to go.
Around the Pyramid colony adult albatrosses were landing with a whoosh, bringing meals of slurrified seafood to their perpetually hungry offspring. When one alighted near the tents, Scofield and Moniz each picked up a shepherd's crook and crept toward it. The bird tried to take off, its wings stretching some six feet as it ran from Moniz. A swipe with the crook, a bleat of protest, and the albatross was apprehended, snagged by the neck.
Moniz cradled the bird, keeping a tight grip on its devilishly hooked bill, while Scofield taped a popsicle-size GPS logger—a tracking device—between its shoulders, spray-painted its snowy chest with a slash of blue for ease of recognition, and released it. "One down, 11 to go," Scofield said. He and Moniz were planning to stay three weeks on the Pyramid, and they hoped to deploy the devices on a dozen breeding adults to track their movements at sea.
Scofield, of New Zealand's Canterbury Museum and co-author of Albatrosses, Petrels and Shearwaters of the World, has been studying albatrosses for more than 20 years. To research these birds is to commit oneself to months at a time on the isolated, storm-lashed but utterly spectacular specks of land on which they breed: from the Crozet Islands in the Indian Ocean, to South Georgia in the South Atlantic, to Campbell Island and the Snares Islands in New Zealand. Scofield has visited most of them.
Studying albatrosses is also not without risks. In 1985, the yacht taking Scofield to Marion Island in the South Indian Ocean was rolled twice and dismasted, 700 miles south of South Africa. Jury-rigged, the yacht limped to its destination. Scofield and the crew stayed on Marion with other albatross researchers for five months (they had planned on only two days) while waiting for a ship to pick them up. Another time, during a ferocious storm in the Chathams, Scofield and his colleagues had to wear safety harnesses bolted to the rock as they slept in their tents, in case a wave washed over their campsite. Albatross eggs and even adult birds were bowled off their nests by the wind, and Scofield observed more than one parent try to push an egg back onto the nest with its bill—a challenge analogous to rolling a football up a flight of steps with your nose.
Scofield and other albatross researchers return year after year to their field studies knowing that albatrosses are one of the most threatened families of birds on earth. All but 2 of the 21 albatross species recognized by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature are described as vulnerable, endangered or, in the case of the Amsterdam and Chatham albatrosses, critically endangered. The scientists hope that the data they gather may save some species from extinction.
Albatrosses are among the largest seabirds. The "great albatrosses," the wandering and royal albatrosses, have the widest wingspans—ten feet or more—of any living bird. These are the birds of legend: the souls of drowned sailors, the harbinger of fair breezes and the metaphor for penance in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner: "Ah! well a-day! what evil looks / Had I from old and young! / Instead of the cross, the Albatross / About my neck was hung."
A wandering albatross is a "regal, feathery thing of unspotted whiteness," wrote Herman Melville. They look white in flight, but even the wanderers have a few darker feathers on their wings, and many of the smaller species have varying combinations of black, white, brown and gray plumage.
Albatrosses are masters of soaring flight, able to glide over vast tracts of ocean without flapping their wings. So fully have they adapted to their oceanic existence that they spend the first six or more years of their long lives (which last upwards of 50 years) without ever touching land. Most live in the Southern Hemisphere, the exceptions being the black-footed albatross of the Hawaiian archipelago and a few nearby islands; the short-tailed albatross, which breeds near Japan; the waved albatross of equatorial Galápagos; and the Laysan albatross of the North Pacific.
Everything about albatrosses underscores the difficulty of eking out an existence in their environment. Unlike penguins, which can hunt for extended periods underwater and dive to great depths, albatrosses can plunge into only the top few feet of the ocean, for squid and fish. The lengthy albatross "chickhood" is an adaptation to a patchy food supply: a slow-maturing chick needs food less often than a fast-maturing one. (Similarly, the prolonged adolescence—around 12 years in wandering albatrosses—is an extended education during which birds prospect the oceans, learning where and when to find food.) The chick's nutritional needs cannot be met by a single parent. Mate selection, therefore, is a critical decision, and is all about choosing a partner that can bring home the squid.

This bird is awesome, it is, to me one of the most spectacular creatures. I feel emotional to learn that it is endangered but the spirit and mood of the comments i've ready will no doubt transform into action to save this awesome creature. I have only seen the Albatross in photos but i shall make every effort to set my eyes on a live one and actually contribute anything geared towards aiding its survival. In kenya we don't have the suitable climate to be visited by the excellent bird.

It's just incredible how an article like this can infuse a whole lot of emotions in me for a bird whom I have never seen for real. Awesome article. It should be popularized to a degree that there is a campaign throughout the globe to save these majestic birds from getting extinct. Great work!

I lament: I'm a former US Navy sailor, 'Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club' member, West and South Pacific, 1970. I've seen with my own eyes the Albatross in the air and on the ground. I wrote one of my first poems, one about the Albatross, at that time. I've read and studied THE Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem, and I'm tortured between anger and sorrow about the fate of that most majestic bird. I hope, before I die, I can see at least one - soaring in the skies, with my own eyes once again.

You write lyrically and beautifully. I want to meet an albatross and it's entirely your fault!

Albatrosses really interest me. I love birds and I always bring books from the library to read about them. I've even seen an albatross on the beach once. I took a picture of it and now I'm studying albatrosses in school.

We see them all time circling near surfside beach, though I have never seen one feed or land. They're really awesome to watch, fly.

I am certain I saw a pair of large albatross(es) feeding on a fish at Galveston Beach, Texas, USA. It was about a month ago March, I believe. Please let me know of any sightings near shore in the Texas Gulf Coast. They were feeding together and nobody seemed to notice them. I sat for 30 minutes and observed them. They were magnificent when they flew off finally to sea. Note; We had been having strong Easterly breezes onshore for about a week at that time. Lissa

Tucked away in the very last conserved shophouse along Duxton Road, Broadway Café is latest entry to the charming Duxton enclave. Its menu serves quite a good variety of drinks and cakes that got me interested weeks ago. And there I was on a Monday afternoon when many other places calling it weekend.
My disappointing cup of Latte ($6.9) tasted a tad bland and overly creamy. My bad for choosing a dcoffee drink at a non-specialty coffee place.
Not quite sure what to have, their cake of the day became the perfect answer to the undecisive moment.
Having fragrant kaya cake as the sponge, the cream layer was delightful when eaten together with the red beans. Quite a decent piece of cake I must say.
Looking at the many polaroids at the entrance, the café must have seen many joyous birthday celebrations. While the food I had was mediocre, their comfy couches look like just the perfect spot I can spend a lazy afternoon on. As it is opened till late, it also makes a great hangout alternative to all the pubs in the area.

And that is with natural gas prices in the cellar. If those were higher, small producers would be doing very well.
One of the reasons that natural gas prices are in the cellar is that it is co-produced with oil from tight oil formations. Tight oil formations have allowed TX to double its oil production from 1 million to 2 million barrels per day. They´ve pretty much quit drilling for dry natural gas, but will take it when it comes with the oil.
Let´s also keep in mind we are doing much to keep another entire country above water. Remove the drain from Mexico, and where might we be?
OK, I´ll be the first to say it:The South will rise again.
Texans! Craven capitalists! For Texas to do well means another state must suffer, don´t you know?
Hmm, we´d better do something about that.
They´re probably stealing it from Massatwoschitz.
Damn those Republicans in Texas. Time to celebrate with a Whataburger.
Social Security, food stamps and unemployment benefits, don´t do much toward a rise in personal income. But hard work and low taxes can lead to that rise. If I wasn´t so old, it would be "Texas, here I come"!
My "pay raise" will be gone once SSI with holdings go back to normal. Once all the other Obama surprises kick in, I´ll be back to balancing mortgage payments with groceries.
Eagle Ford is changing So. Texas forever. ...Ya GOTTA love TEXAS!!!
Oh, oh. Don´t let Barry or the demonrats know or they´ll confiscate all of it.

Diocese of Covington at 1125 Madison Ave., Covington, KY 41011-3115 US - Home
Welcome to The Diocese of Covington
My dear Friends,
Advent 2013
"On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry, announces that the Lord is nigh. Awake and hearken, for he brings, glad tidings of the King of kings!"
This is the first verse of a popular hymn sung in many churches during the season of Advent. It is a clarion call to us to prepare for the coming of Jesus. This is after all what the season of Advent is about, isn't it? A time for us to pause, to take stock, to prepare. Problem is, most of us are not really good about pausing these days, are we? We have to be in constant motion, we have to be doing. And in all this doing it is all too easy to lose sight of what it is we should really be doing during Advent, and that is making ready for the celebration of the birth of Jesus.
By and large, as a society and as individuals, we don't like to wait. There was a time, for instance, when the Christmas season in the stores didn't begin until after Thanksgiving Day. Now, many stores are actually opening on Thanksgiving Day, depriving those who have to work in those stores of time with their families and encouraging everyone else to forget time with families and time to give thanks so that they can run out and get the jump on Christmas shopping!
This of course is only one example. There are so many others. The point is that with all the rushing and doing we forget what it's all about: The Lord is nigh - awake and hearken, for he brings, glad tidings of the King of kings! We don't savor the season, we don't take the time to pause, to reflect, to appreciate for whom it is we are waiting and preparing.
This Advent, why not take a break, why not pause to really prepare for the King of kings. Why not make an effort to attend daily Mass, to pray the rosary as a family, to read Scripture for even a few minutes each day, to volunteer to do some charity work? Pause. Take a break. Reflect.
The voice of the Baptist echoes through the centuries – The Lord Is Nigh! What is our response?
Yours devotedly in the Lord,
Most Reverend Roger J. Foys, D.D.

For that to be, most things in the 1000W motor would need to be bigger, including magnets and wiring. That's why the 1000W motor weighs more than the 500W. If you want specifics contact Golden Motor. Using the same 14s battery, the 1000w motor gives 10mph more in speed. And that's all I care about. Don't have any videos and only have a hand held HD video camera. Using the 72V controller on the 500W motor runs quieter than the original controller. And the original controller on the 1000W motor runs quieter than the original 500W. Once you get over about 15-20mph, all you can hear is wind noise anyway.
jonathanm wrote:Wes, please make a post or share some details about the new controller, I'm really interested to hear about that.
If you can also give us an idea of the amps / watts used between the 500w stock, the 500w with the soldered shunt, the 1000w stock and the new controller.....that would be spiffy. Are you still running 5ah only? how is your run time/range affected?
Also, I think our motor is similar to a GM, but not from GM....you seem to think otherwise - what makes you think this?

In the past, we would receive a USDA memo and reissue it under our own numbered memo system. USDA posts the memos to their website, eliminating the need to send out another copy. We are ceasing the practice of reissuing the same memo under our own numbered memo system. We may occasionally have our own memos and will continue to post them to the CANS website. We will advise you when a new memo is posted either place that applies to the programs your agency participates in and provide a link to the website. It is your responsibility to read the memo, relay the information to appropriate staff, and implement it at your agency. You should call the CANS office if you have questions about these policies. You can print the memo so you have a paper copy if you wish, or you can maintain a link to the USDA memos in your favorites for future reference. You can also sign up for notices when the USDA web page is updated. The site for legislation, regulations, and policy related to the child nutrition programs is http://www.fns.usda.gov/fns/regulations.htm
The USDA memo code is as follows:
SP applies to School Programs includes National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and Special Milk Program. This would include Seamless Summer.
CACFP applies to the Child & Adult Care Food Program and may apply to centers, homes, and sponsors or only one section of the group.
SFSP applies to Summer Food Service Program.
The program designation is then followed by the number of the memo for that federal fiscal year and the fiscal year. '
Other memos posted since the beginning of this federal fiscal year are:
Applying Geographic Preferences in Procurements for the Child Nutrition Programs – Updates
Procurement Questions
Extension of Food Safety Inspections Reporting Requirement FY2010
Extension of Weighted Averages Waiver FY 2010
Pandemic Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (P-SNAP)
Benefits for Children Certified as Eligible to Receive Free and
Reduced Priced School Lunch During School Closures
USDA recently posted new policy memos to the website.
SP 07-2010 CACFP 04-2010 SFSP 05-2010 is an updated Question and Answer (Q&A) memo about the recent ruling concerning Milk Substitution for Children with Medical or Special Dietary Needs (Non-Disability). It added three Q&A regarding the ruling that schools may provide milk substitutes and that juice cannot be offered as a milk substitute for non-disability requests.
SP 06-2010 CACFP 03-2010 SFSP 04-2010 is about combat pay. This applies to the school nutrition programs as well as Child & Adult Care Food Program, and Summer Food Service Program. It supersedes their previous memo that we had issued under our numbered memos as: Family Size and Income Determinations for Military Families as CACFP-57, CACFPDCH-50, NSLP-68, and SFSP-30
The new memo can be found at http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/governance/Policy-Memos/2010/SP_06_CACFP_03_SFSP_04-2010_os.pdf.
The gist of the new memo is that a deployed person is considered a part of their household and regular pay is counted for determining eligibility; however, additional pay for being in combat zone is not considered as income. This applies to all child nutrition programs: Child & Adult Care Food Program, National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Special Milk Program, and Summer Food Service Program.
Page 34 of the eligibility guidance manual also states that only that portion of a deployed service member's income made available by them to the household will be counted as income. For example, if the deployed person gets $500 but keeps $200 for personal expenses, then the family would count $300 as available.
Given this new information, you may want to re-evaluate applications from families of service members that you know are deployed. It would also be permissible to notify families that if they have a deployed service member to contact your agency to re-evaluate the application for free & reduced price meals. If there is a change in benefits, you should implement that as soon as possible; however, it would not be retroactive.
Recent Q&A's
A: First, you should give the family a copy of the request for special diet memo and forms found at our numbered memos: Doctor Statements Required for Food Allergies or Medical Disability in Child Nutrition Programs (Revised)
Look over the note when it comes back from the doctor.
- If the note says it is a disability (threatens a major life activity), then you must comply almost without exception. You need to be sure the child does not receive the food in the meals you serve, and you need to be sure to the best of your ability that the child is safe from that food.
- If the note does not specify it is a disability, then you may work with the family to meet the diet request; however, it is not a requirement.
This requirement comes through the American with Disabilities Act and Civil Rights. Beyond the requirements, you want to make sure that children are in a safe environment when at your agency. If you have questions, please contact Child & Adult Nutrition Services.
The agency should also have a USDA reference on providing meals to children with disabilities. If you do not have a copy, you may refer to the USDA website at http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/guidance/default.htm or contact the CANS office for a copy.
A: This question makes its rounds periodically and once again has come up, and has some new twists.
All the child nutrition programs require that when milk is served, that it be fluid milk. Nothing else takes the place of fluid milk – not cheeses, not ice cream, not pudding, and not juice. That has not changed for many years.
Fluid milk can be purchased in bulk and poured into glasses or can be individual servings from a half-pint carton.
If the school offers juice as a part of the meal, it is a part of the fruit/vegetable requirements. Children must not be made to choose between juice and milk.
Fluid milk can be lactose free, organic, or other fluid milk.
A new regulation for schools followed by policy allows certain other milk substitutes if they meet specific standards. Q&A number 20 in the most recent Q&A series on milk substitutes (http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/governance/Policy-Memos/2010/Policy-Memos/2010/SP_07_CACFP_04_SFSP_05-2010_os.pdf) specifies the requirements.
Milk Substitute Nutrition Standards Nutrient per Cup
Calcium 276 mg
Protein 8 g
Vitamin A 500 IU
Vitamin D 100 IU
Magnesium 24 mg
Phosphorus 222 mg
Potassium 349 mg

USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program
Forty-nine schools are participating in the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program this year. Schools are finding great ways to work nutrition education into the classroom along with the snack. Here are a few ideas:
- Schools are sending "snack fact sheets" into the classroom along with the snack of the day.
- During morning announcements, the snack of the day is announced and some fast facts are given.
- Foodservice director emails out fast facts about the fruit of the day to each teacher.
- Teachers fill out a daily slip on acceptability of fresh fruit/veg snack that day. Foodservice director is compiling results.
- Sometimes teachers ask for a special snack to reinforce what they are learning in the classroom…i.e. kindergarten teacher has asked for a fruit or vegetable snack that will match the "letter" of the week.
- The high school FACS class does an annual nutrition education event and teaches nutrition education through games, raps, etc.
- Bulletin Board in cafeteria highlights the fruits/vegetables of the week.
Whether you participate in the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program or not, you may be able to incorporate some of these nutrition education ideas in your school!!
How can you be a Fresh Fruit and Vegetable School next year? The application will be available mid to late February. Check this website for updates. http://doe.sd.gov/oess/cans/FFVP/index.asp

Arrange the children in a scattered formation.
Describe sharp movements as a way to move the body to make lines, corners, and angles. Demonstrate by making your arms straight then angled by rapidly and forcefully bending your elbows. Ask the children to move their arms in sharp movements. Ask the children to move other body parts in sharp movements (ankles, waist, hands, etc.).

It was my 1st marathon so I'm not in the best position to judge... but others seemed to agree with me. There needed to be more aid stations, and at times when on the back roads, you get pretty lonely because there's no other runners in sight. Additionally, sometimes you could come to an intersection and not know for sure if you needed to turn or not. Most of the time they painted arrows on the road, but they missed it here and there.
I ran the half, but the course for the full is even better. Part of course (8 miles) is on flat, paved rail to trail, with the rest on rolling (yes, hills), scenic country roads. All of the frills of a big marathon without the cost or hassle. Bargain rates for early registration, or you can even register race day. Boston qualifier; close parking; great goody bags; nice, tech, long-sleeve shirts; well manned water stops; GU on course; nice, dated medals; quick results; great age-group awards (Run-Dri, vented hat with race logo), plenty of food and drink at the finish (PowerAde, bananas, big muffins, cookies, Panera bread, etc.). Digital images taken on the course were offered at bargain rates. Race Director Tim Payne makes this event totally runner-friendly! Can't wait to run the Wild Life next year!
The course was challenging, with rolling hills on dirt roads for the middle miles. It would have been nice to have more aid stations out on the course. It was lonely at times during the marathon, with hardly any spectators on the marathon course, except for traffic control and at aid stations. More post-race food would be a good idea too; I think the half-marathon runners ate everything! I thought the race director did a good job with it this year. I can see this race getting bigger and bigger every year. Hard course to run your best time though.

What are we all doing now? With special thanks to Bryn Meredith who helped with
the names
Myself Mark Browne, with Andrew Davies and Mr Chappell
I have a lot of
memories from my time at Hyde Grammar School if I am honest not all happy but I
do remember that looking back, Mr Chappell was a kind dedicated enthusiastic
teacher I think he might of been newly qualified thus the form photograph which
I think he organised himself
If my memory is
correct the then current government announced the closure of Grammar Schools in
the mid 70s and Hyde County Grammar School was gradually closed to new intakes
from around that time and eventually became Clarendon Rd Sixth Form College
although I may be wrong about some of the latter details, I had left the school
and the area in my 5th year at the school around 1978
I am a regular
visitor to Hyde and Gee Cross visiting my nan (she is 93 and still sharp as a
tack) I was amazed to see the old sports field and tennis courts are now home
to the Police station
Thank you to Mark for sending in this post.
Today we received an email off the teacher on the photo, Derek Chappell, who sent this message...
Hi Everybody!
By sheer chance, I
landed on your home page and found myself staring at myself at the photo
of the boys in Form 1x of 1973 at Hyde Grammar!
I still have that original photo here at home in Munich, Germany where my wife and I have lived since 1980.
have often wondered what has happened to these boys and if any of them
should see this mail of mine then I enclose my e-mail address to which
they can write at any time: all mails would be very welcome.
Many thanks to the people responsible for posting and I really look forward to hearing from any of the boys of this Form 1x.
So, if anyone would like to get in touch please drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will give you Dereks' email address.

By Mayo Clinic staffCommon causes of insomnia include:
- Stress. Concerns about work, school, health or family can keep your mind active at night, making it difficult to sleep. Stressful life events, such as the death or illness of a loved one, divorce or a job loss, may lead to insomnia.
- Anxiety. Everyday anxieties as well as more-serious anxiety disorders may disrupt your asleep.
- Depression. You might either sleep too much or have trouble sleeping if you're depressed. This may be due to chemical imbalances in your brain or because worries that accompany depression may keep you from relaxing enough to fall asleep. Insomnia often accompanies other mental health disorders as well.
- Medications. Many prescription drugs can interfere with sleep, including some antidepressants, heart and blood pressure medications, allergy medications, stimulants (such as Ritalin) and corticosteroids. Many over-the-counter (OTC) medications, including some pain medication combinations, decongestants and weight-loss products, contain caffeine and other stimulants. Antihistamines may initially make you groggy, but they can worsen urinary problems, causing you to get up to urinate more during the night.
- Caffeine, nicotine and alcohol. Coffee, tea, cola and other caffeine-containing drinks are well-known stimulants. Drinking coffee in the late afternoon and later can keep you from falling asleep at night. Nicotine in tobacco products is another stimulant that can cause insomnia. Alcohol is a sedative that may help you fall asleep, but it prevents deeper stages of sleep and often causes you to awaken in the middle of the night.
- Medical conditions. If you have chronic pain, breathing difficulties or a need to urinate frequently, you might develop insomnia. Conditions linked with insomnia include arthritis, cancer, heart failure, lung disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), overactive thyroid, stroke, Parkinson disease and Alzheimer's disease. Making sure that your medical conditions are well treated may help with your insomnia. If you have arthritis, for example, taking a pain reliever before bed may help you sleep better.
- Change in your environment or work schedule. Travel or working a late or early shift can disrupt your body's circadian rhythms, making it difficult to sleep. Your circadian rhythms act as internal clocks, guiding such things as your sleep-wake cycle, metabolism and body temperature.
- Poor sleep habits. Habits that help promote good sleep are called sleep hygiene. Poor sleep hygiene includes an irregular sleep schedule, stimulating activities before bed, an uncomfortable sleep environment and use of your bed for activities other than sleep or sex.
- 'Learned' insomnia. This may occur when you worry excessively about not being able to sleep well and try too hard to fall asleep. Most people with this condition sleep better when they're away from their usual sleep environment or when they don't try to sleep, such as when they're watching TV or reading.
- Eating too much late in the evening. Having a light snack before bedtime is OK, but eating too much may cause you to feel physically uncomfortable while lying down, making it difficult to get to sleep. Many people also experience heartburn, a backflow of acid and food from the stomach into the esophagus after eating. This uncomfortable feeling may keep you awake.
Insomnia and aging
Insomnia becomes more common with age. As you get older, changes can occur that may affect your sleep. You may experience:
- A change in sleep patterns. Sleep often becomes less restful as you age, and you may find that noise or other changes in your environment are more likely to wake you as you get older. With age, your internal clock often advances, which means you get tired earlier in the evening and wake up earlier in the morning. But older people generally still need the same amount of sleep as younger people do.
- A change in activity. You may be less physically or socially active. Activity helps promote a good night's sleep. You may also be more likely to take a daily nap, which also can interfere with sleep at night.
A change in health. The chronic pain of conditions such as arthritis or back problems as well as depression, anxiety and stress can interfere with sleep. Older men often develop noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland (benign prostatic hyperplasia), which can cause the need to urinate frequently, interrupting sleep. In women, hot flashes that accompany menopause can be equally disruptive.
Other sleep-related disorders, such as sleep apnea and restless legs syndrome, also become more common with age. Sleep apnea causes you to stop breathing periodically throughout the night. Restless legs syndrome causes unpleasant sensations in your legs and an almost irresistible desire to move them, which may prevent you from falling asleep.
- Increased use of medications. Older people use more prescription drugs than younger people do, which increases the chance of insomnia caused by a medication.
Sleep problems may be a concern for children and teenagers as well. Some children and teenagers simply have trouble getting to sleep or resist a regular bedtime because their internal clocks are more delayed. They want to go to bed later and sleep later in the morning.

Practical Advice for Using Computers with Smarts and Style
by Christina Tynan-Wood December 2008, 344 pp. ISBN: 978-1-59327-187-9 When it comes to technology (or anything, really), men and women rarely think alike. Men are obsessed with acronyms and the size of their hard drives. Women just want to get things done. And if they can get it done while shopping for a cute pair of shoes, even better. How to Be a Geek Goddess shows you how to sort out technology decisions (and find those cute shoes online) without ever having to ask a man.

Table of ContentsA Note for Men, by Dan Tynan View the detailed Table of Contents (PDF) View the Index (PDF) (top)Reviews"Love the title and the premise." Dan Tynan of Computerworld interviewed How to Be a Geek Goddess author Christina Tynan-Wood about what it's like to be a Geek Goddess. Read the interview here. "The solid, down-to-earth information about PC hardware and software that Christina Tynan-Wood provides in How to Be a Geek Goddess will be welcomed by anyone who relies on technology in his or her personal or professional life." "The book proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Christina Tynan-Wood totally 'gets' where men and women divide in terms of technology. If you're of the XX-chromosome persuasion and want a comprehensive, easy-to-understand guide to using today's tech to get organized, connect with your loved ones, streamline the day-to-day running of your household and more, buy this book. You'll thank me later." "Unlike our digital native kids, many of us women find ourselves lost as digital immigrants, navigating the ever-morphing ins and outs of a wired lifestyle. Thankfully, Christina Tynan-Wood does the hard work for us: How to Be a Geek Goddess offers clear, comprehensive solutions to every woman's tech troubles." "This is the book every guy should give to his girlfriend, wife, mistress, mother, grandmother, female friend or any other woman who nags him to fix her computer when he'd rather be watching the ballgame. "I'd highly recommend this book as a gift this holiday season, either to yourself or to a woman in your life who's looking for a handy desk reference on all things geek. Tynan-Wood gives simple, but not condescending, instructions on everything from purchasing to outfitting your computer and everything that goes along with it." "Full of humor and attitude, How to Be a Geek Goddess will have moms feeling like they have their most tech-savvy friend on speed-dial." "The idea of a book on technology geared towards women is a nice one. Women do have a different slant on technology and their relationship to it; rarely do books speak to them in a tone of voice they can comfortably relate to." "Christina Tynan-Wood understands the difference between how women and men think about technology." "This informative and highly readable book would make a great gift for your mom or grandmother who has just gotten online or perhaps wants to go beyond just using the computer for email. Because of the more advanced information, it also makes a great reference for any home library." "Tynan-Wood really does manage to package the goodies in a certain appealing way that will keep you reading." "Christina Tynan-Wood and No Starch Press have put out a perfect beginner's manual to all things computer. How to Be a Geek Goddess has it all." How to Be a Geek Goddess "is a melding of technology, parenting, and education that anyone can grasp." How to Be a Geek Goddess "is an engaging guide to the ins and outs of technology that would be just as handy for would-be geek gods as it is for goddesses." "Highly recommended for anyone (male or female) wanting to understand a bit more about technology and how to make it easier." "There is a lot of knowledge crammed into this book, everything from disaster recovery, explaining the different components of a computer, internet dangers and safe shopping, networking computers, getting in touch with software, all about viruses, and a chapter on sex and the geek, or internet dating. And, as I mentioned, it's all written in a humerous style and very easy to read. For newbies this is a must read. The book is great and earns a double thumbs up from me." "If you are a woman who feels that you are technically challenged, this is a book that you MUST READ simply because it is written by a woman in simple, easy to understand, everyday language." "Even though I think of myself as a pretty tech-savvy person, I found out some things in this book that have really helped enhance my technological life." "I love this book. It's changed my level of computer confidence. So much so that I might even see the return of my 1980's glory days as a tech guru." "I found How to Be a Geek Goddess a great read and would recommend it to any woman in your life." "As for the basic part, yes, there are some very basic sections, but they are so entertaining and well-written that you'll read them anyway, even if you already know the stuff. That being said, I learned things throughout the entire book, even in sections I figured would just be repeating things I already knew . . . there are little gems strewn throughout the text that make it a book definitely worth reading." "The common sense delivery of techie tidbits in How to Be a Geek Goddess is certainly not exclusive to what women have been clamoring for. It will appeal to anyone who wants down-to-earth explanations that don't patronize, nor talk over the heads of the readers." "The premise is that woman don't need to either feel overwhelmed by PCs or be dependent on men to help conquer buying, using, and maintaining a computer. [Christina Tynan-Wood] does it in an engaging, funny, and often snarky way." "I highly recommend this book for anyone who meets the target demographic. It would also come in handy as a bookshelf reference for those times someone you know needs a crash course in something specific such as social networking or setting up one's first wireless network." "In addition to being informative and empowering How to Be a Geek Goddess is also an extremely entertaining read! I laughed the whole way through." "[M]any books never approach this level of clarity in explaining complex subject matter, which is to Tynan-Wood's credit. This is one of the most readable technical tomes I've ever had cross my desk." "The information in this 315 page book is all accurate and informative. Yet, this is not a reference book. It is rather like a free-flowing novel with technical information...This is a book for women who want to absorb some pointers here and there while reading about all the things you can do with your computer." "This book is very practical, translates 'geek speak' into understandable English, and is also entertaining to read!" "The book is written with a sarcasm and wit, but still manages to get the point across in a straight-forward and clear manner. And the book covers a broad range of topics: from buying a computer, installing software, setting up a wireless network and social networking. It's pretty comprehensive without being too verbose." "I think this book will give a novice a strong sense of confidence and independence. I am sure there are women out there who don't want to rely on anyone else to help them with computer issues but they don't want to really dig deep into highly technical information. This may be exactly what they need." "Christina Tynan-Wood, a veteran on the technology beat, makes the topic of technology easy to understand and fun. There's no talking down, no sighs, no rolling of the eyes going on between the lines. Whether you're a novice when it comes to computers, the Internet, and social networking or whether you're totally wired and have 999 Facebook friends and get lots of Tweets, there's something in this book for you... even if you're a guy." Christina Tynan-Wood "has a great grasp of how the 'average' woman and the 'average' man differ (yes, I know…none of us are 'average'…) and she gives the non-geek woman a comprehensive and incredibly easy to read & understand guide to today's tech in this book." "We already consider ourselves to be pretty [darn] geeky. But How to Be a Geek Goddess by Christina Tynan-Wood still managed to teach us a thing or two we didn't know, and for that reason (and a thousand others), we dig it." "OK, so, I'm a little geeky—some may even call me geek-chic. So, when I have a tech question, the last person I want to ask is...a man. That's why How to Be a Geek Goddess by Christina Tynan-Wood is so cool." How to Be a Geek Goddess "has a tremendous amount of humor, and a highly personal writer's voice. For the mainstream, this is the ideal approach." "I did learn about some new Web sites to find great deals on random stuff, and I learned that the little RSS feed icon is called a chicklet (cute). And the book is written with plenty of lighthearted, you-don't-need-a-man-to-help-you-with-that charm." How to Be a Geek Goddess "is an ideal acquisition to those who want to avoid ignorance in the necessary modern art of computer use." "Buy the book if you are technologically-challenged (male or female), because it is witty, and down to earth while being extremely informative and not frightening at all...Absolutely fabulous." "Whether you're buying a computer, looking into Internet phone service, or trying to figure out how to keep your computer safe from viruses, [Christina Tynan-Wood] explains it all in a straightforward way that even your mom will understand." "Beyond the educational content, the narrative includes witty metaphors involving stilettos and other stereotypes in a woman's arsenal. This makes it very readable and combined with the pictures, boxes, and well-organized text is incredibly accessible to the novice user." "This book provides a nice overview of a number of different technologies, in a very non-threatening way. Tynan-Wood's writing style is highly readable and accessible for beginners as well as more experienced learners." "If your BFF is tired of relying on her boyfriend for tech support, or if your cousin gets a blank look on her face when you ask her if she's done her system updates lately, this book is the perfect birthday (or anytime) gift for an aspiring or wanna-be geek. It's well-written with a witty and easy tone, and never makes you feel like you are trudging through mud to understand." "[T]he content will help both young and older women navigate an industry that doesn't often go out of its way to include them." "Although not billed as a manual, the author provided, in clear detail, many of the common routes or fixes to problems in buying, setting up, enriching, networking, and trouble shooting a Wintel computer. As a Macintosh using male geek, I learned about dozens of things from the book about Windows Vista and XP and the problems Wintel users face daily in the computing lives." "The book is informative whether you're male or female, a hardcore tech-head or a Quicken newbie, but what makes Tynan-Wood's style unique is she speaks both Binary and Girlfriend." "So basically, if you're of the feminine persuasion and you need help navigating your way around your computer - on and offline - this is the book for you." |

Undercover Brother
Screenplay : John Ridley and Michael McCullers (story by John Ridley, based on his Internet series)
MPAA Rating : PG-13
Year of Release : 2002
Stars : Eddie Griffin (Anton Jackson), Chris Kattan (Mr. Feather), Denise Richards (Penelope Snow), David Chappelle (Conspiracy Brother), Aunjanue Ellis (Sistah Girl), Neil Patrick Harris (Lance), Chi McBride (The Chief), Gary Anthony Williams (Smart Brother), Billy Dee Williams (General Boutwell), James Brown (Himself)
Those platform shoes! Those silk shirts with the four-foot collars! That denim jacket! Those bellbottoms! That afro!
One might think that the titular character of Undercover Brother was propelled through time by several decades ala Austin Powers (although his natural temporal habitat would be circa 1972, rather than 1967). But, in fact, Undercover Brother's funkadelic style is just his means of expressing his blackness, the kind of blackness personified by Richard Roundtree, Fred Williamson, and Melvin Van Peebles with just a slightly hyperbolic touch of retro exuberance. He's the kind of cool cat who can put his Cadillac Deville into several 360-degree spins and never even come close to losing his cool, much less spilling an ounce of his Big Gulp. As James Brown said, "Sing it loud, I'm black and I'm proud."
In a modern United States in which boy bands like N Sync rule the music world, Cher has an Oscar and Spike Lee doesn't, and mayonnaise is considered eatable, Undercover Brother has his work cut out for him. Recruited by the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D., a highly equipped underground resistance organization dedicated to "Truth, Justice, and the Afro-American Way" in its constant battle with "the Man," Undercover Brother goes to work trying solve the mystery of why the first black man to run for president decides to forego the race and instead open a nationwide chain of fried chicken restaurants.
The character and premise of Undercover Brother come from an animated Internet series created by John Ridley (U Turn, Three Kings), who adapted it for the big screen along with Michael McCullers (who cowrote both Austin Powers sequels). They have maintained the basic approach to the material, which is a skewering of modern race relations via a generally good-natured spoof of '70s blaxploitation tropes. Several of the plotlines in Undercover Brother have been lifted entirely from the animated series, including the idea of Undercover Brother having to go incognito into the world of Caucasian tightwads by posing as a bespectacled Republican-geek office worker named Anton Jackson.
Eddie Griffin takes the central role and runs with it, playing up the dated goofiness of Undercover Brother's shtick without sacrificing his inherent coolness. He is surrounded by a good supporting cast, as well, including his fellow B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D. agents, the sexy, no-nonsense Sistah Girl (Aunjanue Ellis), the paranoid Conspiracy Brother (David Chappelle), who claims that Madonna is actually a six-foot black man, and the computer-savvy, Al Roker-ish Smart Brother (Gary Anthony Williams), all of whom work for The Chief (Chi McBride). For good measure (and to be fair to affirmative action), Neil Patrick Harris plays the token white member of the team, a clueless intern named Lance who is square enough to wear ties with short-sleeved shirts.
It turns out that "the Man" is, well, actually a man, who lurks in the shadows on a private island and has his conspiratorial bidding done by Mr. Feather, played in a wild and generally unfunny manner by SNL's Chris Kattan. This could have been a chance for Kattan to show that he can play something other than a perennial spaz, but that is simply not the case. The real weapon, though, is Penelope Snow (Denise Richards), aka White She-Devil, a blonde, long-limbed sexpot working for the Man who almost succeeds in making Undercover Brother's geeky alter-ego into his permanent identity.
There are some big laughs to be had in Undercover Brother, and many of its humorous observations about the disparity between white and black points of view are dead on, if not a little too broad. It's a generally hit-and-miss affair, with every really good joke coming on the heels of one or two others that fall flat. Watching Griffin and Richards interact is frequently hilarious, particularly on their first date as they sing "Ebony & Ivory" at a karaoke bar, but then Kattan starts spazzing out again and the movie comes close to losing its vibe.
Director Malcolm D. Lee (The Best Man) gives the movie an upbeat energy, throwing in a few douses of kitschy '70s-style visual flair such as split-screen and conjuring up a soundtrack full of funky odes guaranteed to set the mood. If Undercover Brother isn't always as funny as it thinks it is, it's because most of the jokes are riffs on ones we've already heard before. But, it's still an enjoyably retro ride that relies more on cultural awareness for its humor than sheer gross-out, which is in and of itself a welcome relief.

Lady Moura Has A Scrape In Cannes
Filed under: Yachts & Sailing
Usually the stories from the Cannes Film Festival involve mischievous celebs up to no good, not one of the world's largest yachts. But the luxury vessel, the Lady Moura, ran aground on Saturday after hitting submerged rocky outcrop near the port. Two local hotel-owned beaches were briefly closed due to the potential of fuel leaks. The 354-yacht was pulled off the hazard by a tugboat. Two large holes were given a patch job and then the boat headed to Gibraltar for repairs. The yacht belongs to Saudi billionaire Nasser Al-Rashid, who is said to have paid more than 200 million dollars for the yacht and luckily has enough cash to restore his baby back into tip top shape.
Lady Moura, named after one of Nasser Al-Rashid's ex-wives, has a helicopter on board. For pics of the accident, which show Lady Moura slightly listing, check out Yachtspotter.com.

MIAMI (AP) -- The U.S. Coast Guard has repatriated 45 Cuban migrants after prosecuting four different migration cases.
Coast Guard officials say the group was taken Sunday to Bahia de Cabanas, Cuba.
The Seventh Coast Guard District prosecuted the four cases that resulted in a total of 45 interdicted migrants by the crews of the Coast Guard Cutters Knight Island and Sawfish. The migrants were later transferred to the Coast Guard Cutter Kodiak Island to be returned to Cuba.
Under U.S. policy, most Cubans who make it to dry land are permitted to remain. Those intercepted at sea are generally returned to Cuba.
A press release says the Coast Guard rescued 1,875 Cuban migrants last year.

WASHINGTON (November 8, 2012)—The widespread destruction from Superstorm Sandy will likely make for the largest U.S. relief effort by the American Red Cross and others since Hurricane Katrina.
By Friday, the Red Cross had raised $117 million in donations and pledges and the Salvation Army had raised $5 million.
As the largest private relief organization, the Red Cross experienced a boost in fundraising from telethons on NBC and ABC, which raised a combined $40 million.
Still, figures show fundraising has been slower than for Japan's 2011 earthquake and Haiti's 2010 quake.
Red Cross Vice President Roger Lowe says those were different disasters.
He says donors nationwide have been generous.
But Salvation Army officials say donations have fallen short of needs on the ground and the public may not grasp the extent of damage.

Welcome to Black Blade Publishing's home page!
Black Blade Publishing is committed to publishing high-quality gaming material for fans of first edition fantasy role-playing games and enthusiasts of all of the hobby's earliest incarnations. Here on our website you will find information about our products and details about how to order, information about Black Blade Publishing itself, and contact information should you wish to make contact.
Press Release
Black Blade Publishing is proud to announce that it has reached an agreement in principle with Joseph Bloch to publish his Castle of the Mad Archmage
for old school fantasy campaign gaming. While the essential terms of the publishing agreement have been settled for some time, the formal agreement between Black Blade Publishing and Mr. Bloch will likely be signed later this week. Black Blade hopes to have the finished product available in time for Christmas, 2011
Jon Hershberger, President of Black Blade, said, "It is an honor and privilege for Black Blade to publish The Castle of the Mad Archmage in partnership with Joe Bloch. This mega-dungeon is one of the really great old school projects to come out of the old school gaming community in the past five years. It is a mega-dungeon in the grand tradition of the early days of our hobby. I've been running scenarios using Joe's Castle of the Mad Archmage at gaming conventions for the past couple of years. Being a mega-dungeon, the Castle of the Mad Archmage fosters a style of play that differs from gaming scenarios based on traditional adventure 'modules' or tournament-style adventures where the objectives and scope are more rigidly defined. With the release of the free pdf version of the Castle of the Mad Archmage, Joe demonstrated his ability to create a setting that serves as both an educational experience for introducing the hobby to new gamers and a challenging adventure locale for veteran gamers."
The agreement includes the publication and distribution of all twelve of the Castle of the Mad Archmage dungeon levels included in the previously released pdf of the same title, plus two additional levels that Joseph wrote exclusively for inclusion in the Black Blade Publishing release of the Castle of the Mad Archmage. These two additional levels will be
-- Surface Level – The Upper Ruins, and
-- Level One – The Storage Rooms
The Black Blade release of the Castle of the Mad Archmage will be published with several other design features that will make this a truly stand-out print product, including:
-- A 220-240 page hardcover containing the encounter keys and level by level detail for all 14 levels;
-- Full-color poster maps on heavyweight stock for all 14 levels;
-- A folio or folder to organize and store the poster maps when they're not in use;
-- A deluxe box or slipcase for storing both the level key hardcover and the map folio with all of the poster maps;
-- The addition of a number of original black & white interior art pieces to highlight specific set piece encounters or unique features of the Castle levels;
In addition, Black Blade Publishing and Joseph Bloch have discussed plans to release further expansions of the Castle of the Mad Archmage, including several sub-levels and level-expansions for the twelve primary dungeon levels beneath the ruins of the Mad Archmage's Castle.

Press Release
Black Blade Publishing is proud to announce an agreement with Robert J. Kuntz to publish his Lake Geneva Castle & Campaign™ (LGCC) dungeon levels. Jon Hershberger, President of Black Blade, said, "It is a privilege to publish these Lake Geneva Castle and Campaign™ dungeon levels in partnership with Rob Kuntz. Their historical value dating back to the origins of the RPG hobby is significant. Rob's distinctive adventure modules are very creative and serve as both challenging settings for veteran gamers and as inspiration for future game designers."
The agreement includes the publication and distribution of:
Six original Lake Geneva Castle dungeon levels, including The Machine Level, The Boreal Level, and four additional levels that feature such famous and infamous encounters as the Giants Pool Hall, the prototypical set-piece encounter for The Garden of the Plantmaster, and connections to several other planes of existence for off-world adventuring. Each dungeon level will be published upon completion by Mr. Kuntz, beginning this winter with The Machine Level, which will be 32 to 36 pages in length.
.PDF editions of Kuntz's out-of-print adventure modules CAS1 Cairn of the Skeleton King and CAS2 Tower of Blood, with additional titles to follow as their print runs sell through (including RJK1 Bottle City).
The .pdf edition of the adventure module Ice Grave (originally published in Troll Magazine #1 in 1997), the proceeds from which Kuntz will use as a special fund to be awarded on a recurring basis to excellent up-and-coming RPG game designers.
Future publications will release the full scope of Kuntz's massive original manuscript collection that spans the history of the development of the first fantasy role-playing game, as played in the Lake Geneva campaigns. These publications will primarily be issued in .pdf format, with select titles also targeted for in-print releases.
Robert J. Kuntz said, "Black Blade was my first choice as a publishing partner due to their commitment to producing high-quality, printed books. I can trust them to reproduce my manuscripts with the respect, fidelity and attention to detail that reflects their historical value and context." Allan Grohe, co-founder, project manager and editor for Black Blade, will manage the Lake Geneva Castle & Campaign™ product line. Grohe said, "Rob Kuntz's designs stand out across the history of RPG publishing for their originality in design and challenge to player skill. It's a pleasure to continue my long-standing publishing relationship with Rob under the auspices of Black Blade."
About Robert J. Kuntz
One of the founding fathers of the RPG industry, Robert J. Kuntz helped to design, playtest, and expand the original Dungeons & Dragons game with Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson from 1972 to 1975. Mr. Kuntz co-authored Greyhawk: Supplement I, created Kalibruhn—the third RPG campaign setting, and one of the first RPG worlds created from the top down—and co-DM'd the famous Greyhawk campaign with Gary Gygax for many years. He also co-wrote the classic Gods, Demigods & Heroes with Jim Ward, which was later revised and expanded as Deities & Demigods in 1980. His game designs have been published through 12 companies world wide, including TSR, Paizo Publishing and Hobby Japan. His articles, interviews and fiction have appeared in 10 magazines, including Dragon and Dungeon.
Mr. Kuntz founded Creations Unlimited in 1986 to publish the "Maze of Zayene" series and Garden of the Plantmaster. Mr. Kuntz has republished and updated his classic Creations Unlimited adventures, and has also designed several board games, including King of the Table Top, Magus, and Kings & Things (which won the Charles Roberts Award for Best Fantasy/Science Fiction Game of 1986; and re-released 2010 through Z-Man Games). Mr. Kuntz was honored with the 2005 Gold ENnie Award for his design of the super-adventure "Maure Castle" (published in Dungeon Magazine's 30th Anniversary Celebration issue #112 by Paizo Publishing). In 2006 he founded Pied Piper Publishing which has to date printed 10 titles, including his recently released novella, "Black Festival". His creative interests extend to writing novels, short stories, screenplays, non-fiction essays and his personal memoirs about the founding of the RPG industry.
