Medical Thrillers
Richard L. Mabry had a long and successful career as a physician before a personal loss made him turn to journaling as a source of solace. That first experience with writing led to THE TENDER SCAR, a book about coping with grief that is still in print and has helped many people through similar situations. It also gave him the writing bug, and he has gone on to publish a series of medical thrillers that gains new fans with each book.
Richard's books have been finalists for the Carol Award and Romantic Times Inspirational Book of the Year. LETHAL REMEDY won a 2012 Selah Award from the Blue Ridge Mountain Christian Writers Conference. His medical thriller STRESS TEST garnered rave reviews from LIBRARY JOURNAL and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, along with endorsements from such authors as Tess Gerritsen and Michael Palmer. His latest novel, HEART FAILURE, was released on October 15.
In HEART FAILURE, Dr. Carrie Markham is recovering from the death of her husband, establishing her medical practice, and finding new happiness in her engagement to paralegal Adam Davidson until a drive-by shooting leads to shocking revelations about her fiancé. With threats against both Adam and Carrie escalating, she faces a wrenching choice between her own safety and the man she loves.

Dr. Matt Newman thought he was leaving his life as a surgeon in private practice for a better one in academic medicine. But the kidnappers who attacked him as he left his last shift in the ER have no such plans—they just want him dead. Matt's escape comes at a price: a head injury that lands him in the ICU . . . where he awakens to discover he's being charged with murder.
Welcome to STRESS TEST, the latest medical suspense thriller from Dr. Richard Mabry. Mabry is a retired physician and the author of four published novels of medical suspense. His books have been finalists in competitions including the Carol Award and Romantic Times' Inspirational Book of the Year. His latest novel, LETHAL REMEDY, won a 2012 Selah Award. He and his wife live in North Texas.
In addition to his time as a physician, Mabry also served time in the military. When asked about it, he said, "I served almost three years in the Air Force, reaching the position of Deputy Hospital Commander at our base in the Azores. The Hospital Commander and I did get written up in STARS AND STRIPES for removing a coin from the throat of a native child, but medically, it was really no big deal. May not even be worth mentioning."

What if we had the cure for a catastrophic illness, but it lay hidden inside the blood and bones of just one man?
A mysterious new contagion is decimating the population. It starts in the lungs, like the flu, then moves to the bones, where it weakens and breaks them, eventually killing the host. The disease's origin, methods of propagation and means of contraction are all unknown. There is no vaccine, and none is expected, as the virus is protean and elusive. If it remains unchecked and mutates into a more virulent form, it will become an extinction level event.
Jason Kramer has the disease, known by its nickname "Trips Lite" (the CDC doctor who discovered it is a fan of Stephen King's "The Stand"), but his body produces a unique antibody that kills the viruses inside him. This component in Jason's blood can be harvested and given to anyone who needs it—his blood can heal. But pharmaceutical magnate Phillip Porter needs to keep people believing that only his expensive drug cocktail will slow Trips Lite down, and so if there's any chance someone with the disease will live, Phillip Porter must make sure that Jason Kramer does not.

Neal Baer and Jonathan Greene have been the creative driving forces behind some of television's most popular dramas including LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT and ER. But they have now delved into the world of novels with a debut that has been described as "a psychological thriller of the first order" and a "masterwork of psychological suspense."
Their novel, KILL SWITCH, is the first of a series featuring Dr. Claire Waters, a brilliant, young forensic psychiatrist with unnervingly personal insight into the criminal mind. Haunted by a disturbing childhood incident in which her best friend was abducted and never found, Claire has always been drawn to those rare "untreatable" patients who seem to have no conscience or fear. She has a natural ability to put people at ease, to draw out their darkest secrets, and she believes that by understanding what motivates violent criminals, she can help prevent them from committing further crimes. But one shocking case could make or break her career — and it's waiting for her in the psychiatric wing of New York City's Rikers Island Prison.

In RESUSCITATION, D.M Annechino, a former book editor who spent two years researching serial killers before penning his gripping and memorable debut novel, THEY NEVER DIE QUIETLY, wanted to explore the dark side of a successful cardiothoracic surgeon's desire to make medical history . . .even at the expense of those he should most want to help.
Resuscitation explores what would drive a doctor to violate his Hippocratic oath to abstain from doing harm, and find perverse pleasure in doing so. It is a chilling question, one that author Daniel Annechino explores in heart stopping detail in RESUSCITATION, a fast-paced thriller, that pits a cunning killer against a single-minded cop. When Sami goes after a doctor who is using his victims as guinea pigs for horrific surgical experiments, she never dreams she may become one of the hunted ones.

On the tenement rooftop above is the corpse belonging to that hand, a red-haired woman dressed all in black, the body nearly decapitated. Two strands of silver hair — not human — cling to her body.

Nineteen years earlier, a horrifying murder-suicide in a Chinatown restaurant left five people dead. One woman connected to that massacre is still alive: a mysterious martial arts master who knows a secret she dares not tell, a secret that lives and breathes in the shadows of Chinatown. A secret that may not even be human. Now she's the target of someone, or something, deeply and relentlessly evil. Cracking a crime resonating with bone-chilling echoes of an ancient Chinese legend, Rizzoli and Isles must outwit an unseen enemy with centuries of cunning — and a swift, avenging blade.

I spent ten action packed, suspense filled, claustrophobic days in about five hundred pages with Michael Palmer's newest novel, A HEARTBEAT AWAY. In his 16th book he stirs up a toxic brew of a believable tale of intrigue about domestic terrorism, biological warfare and lust for power-with the seeming intrinsic understanding that our enemies don't always come from faraway places or speak with accents-sometimes our most dangerous enemy looks like us, stands next to us, or is us.

Recently I sat down with CJ Lyons to talk about her newest medical thriller, Critical Condition.
Without giving away the plot's twists and turns, please let your readers know what CRITICAL CONDITION is about.
CRITICAL CONDITION is the finale of the Angels of Mercy series, so it wraps up all four characters' storylines in a whiz-bang of a thriller ride…think Die Hard in a hospital. The action takes place in real time, everything happens in less than five hours, which made it so tightly plotted (with four main characters and stories to tell) that I literally wrote the book backwards, starting with who was left alive at the end.

the most terrible thing about being a student again is that I am no-longer able to justify the extravagance of bed accoutrement.
I have the worst pillows. seriously. the worst. ask anyone who has experienced them. they're all squelchy and pathetic and insubstantial. they're like paper cut-outs of pillows. they're so wholly unlike pillows that it's uncanny they should have been packaged and sold as pillows, and ridiculous that I couldn't sense their inferiority while selecting them. by the light of day—adorned with my indulgently-hipster, generally-floral, printed Ralph Lauren pillowcases—they make fetching, pillow-shaped bed-decorations. but in darkness it is a challenge to distinguish them from the mattress.
how am I supposed to wake up feeling sexy and refreshed and studious and ready to face the world and accomplish things when—all night—my head has been cradled by these deficient, lamentable, inconsequential fabrications?
I've seen more padding on a night-stick.

Even before it made landfall, we knew the hurricane named Sandy was one for the ages. We can only hope that its record-setting size doesn't translate to record-setting death and destruction.
As the storm slams into the most densely populated corner of the country, we feel relief here in North Carolina, since Sandy took a light swipe at our coast as she passed hundreds of miles offshore.
But the online photo galleries were still dramatic. We saw waves rolling through Outer Banks neighborhoods, flood tides swallowing up the first stories of houses. We saw huge surf slamming into oceanside homes. And we saw, as we do so often, waves rolling across N.C. 12.
We hope members of the General Assembly saw those photos, so they could see what a light swipe looks like. It doesn't take a direct hit to create havoc.
We wish lawmakers had looked at similar photos last spring, as they voted on a measure forcing coastal planners to ignore science as they make decisions about coastal development. Science says ocean levels are rising and flooding from coastal storms will get more severe. Sandy may be demonstrating that this week. But development may only be guided by historic data, not science, the law says.
That's stupid. We've seen the evidence.

On FOX News -- 2012.
A year of nonstop news.
And nonstop coverage often driven by by -- and I wish you would put aside the gotcha questions from the GOP primaries political conventions the presidential debates.
-- and the big election.
The media agenda was clear and present.
The ruling on the health care -- obamacare goes on Supreme Court giving the president and his loyal media friends a big win.
But it's not over.
Best assessment we have today.
Is that in fact this was not a pre planned premeditated.
Details about a deadly terrorist attack on the US consulate in -- Ghazi get ignored by most in the media.
The press buying into the White House spin but then the truth comes out.
Tragedies in the headlines the massacre in Newtown and other unthinkable -- challenge the media in their coverage.
Conflicts in the Middle East a civil war in Syria and other hot spots make it difficult to get the true story.
And journalists pay the price.
Eastern states get hit hard by super storm sandy the disaster affecting millions -- in the media react.
And who was voted worst reporter of 2012.
It was a scandal he said there was that it was about the immediately and -- newspaper thank you.
On the panel this week writer and Fox News contributor Judy Miller.
Richard Bernal who served as press spokesman for the last four US ambassador to the UN.
Jim Pinkerton contributing editor at the American conservative magazine.
And Fox News political analyst Juan Williams.
I'm John Scott FOX News Watch is on right now.
We can now definitively say.
That president Barack Obama will be reelected.
Mitt Romney will come up a loser and this race.
The big media story of the year the presidential election.
And that was how it and Barack Obama elected to a second term as president beating Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
An end to a bitter election season which started early with the GOP primaries.
And events like this.
Talk about this during your visit to a black church in South Carolina.
Where a woman asked you why you referred to President Obama as the food stamp president it sounds as if you were seeking to do little people.
First of all on.
The fact is that more people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than any president -- America.
-- Correct and I -- to use facts that are uncomfortable.
But -- that was just part of a long and memorable primary season one is that your highlight of the year.
My highlight I don't know what now now when it but -- get out.
I think it is telling again for Newt Gingrich he then in a subsequent debate format when he was asked about extramarital balances in the light.
I said enough for these gotcha questions and went at the media in specific -- and I think made the media successfully.
A target of his -- Well on the Republican side though Jim.
You know it is often the case that the media go after Republican -- right and that's my game which is so effective -- pivoting off of June for example want.
Because the real issue in those debates -- Twenty of them or whatever their word is never what Rick Perry and Herman -- -- pressures it's what they say the public and gets through.
Gingrich showed a real situation awareness and look.
The people on the stage are small potatoes compared to the audience out there and if I can have a chance to clobber reporter I'll take it -- -- -- but.
-- for example on the other side.
I'll win -- did Paul Ryan's debate with Biden in October he distinctly thought I'm here to debate Biden would answer the questions even -- obviously biased against him and never once he turned to the audience saying look folks here's more media bias -- wonder why Republicans have a hard time.
It's because it's -- Democrats and the mainstream media against us Republicans.
The audience would -- because even independents would agree yes it's an obvious by now the media are biased against the Republicans all those debates -- so many of them and did they illuminate the the process -- the presidential campaign.
Well I think they did I mean first of all they were.
Clearly catnip for reporters I mean there were thousands of reporters it was.
It was amazing that anything else got covered to determine how many reporters there.
But you have that many debates you've got to see these candidates and that was a wide range of candidates.
Really demonstrating.
Capability here a lack of capability to kind of fields complex issues and the voters made up their mom and sending you saw one.
Media promoted figure after another fall -- -- couldn't quite -- she couldn't quite stand the scrutiny.
That came upon a front line.
-- the Obama campaign made it clear attempt to try to sort of demonize Mitt Romney early they settled on him as their eventual challenger.
And did the negative advertising early but but the media as well there was a Newsweek cover.
Poking fun I guess you would say at Mitt Romney's -- -- For it's it's.
Yeah and and you know for Republicans media -- is a target rich environment.
-- we're constantly up against the fact that they're trying to define us as something that we're not and I think.
The Mormon -- some issue was front and center early on and I think that the Romney campaign did a good job of trying to downplay that not certain.
Members of the media were nervous about bringing it up.
Although some of the social media types and and bloggers constantly we're trying to make this an issue and it was picked up in mainstream media -- -- what about when we got to the actual conventions when when Mitt Romney got nominated when Barack Obama got renominated what about the coverage.
Was it fair.
Well I think when I look back at their coverage of the Republican Convention in particular I think there was an effort to be fear but then I think they fell off an edge and I think the engine part was Clint Eastwood and that now famous cheer the empty cheer your call.
I think that suddenly.
Somehow a Hollywood actor who was brought in I think because number he had done the ad -- the Super Bowl.
That seemed to be pro Obama but hearing is endorsing the Republican candidate Mitt Romney.
Suddenly that became bigger than anything that Mitt Romney did I think that's the most memorable event.
And according to the American Media from a convention.
When I believe not -- not only did Mitt Romney stand out but also Paul Ryan.
And several Hispanics by the way did an excellent job of presenting a conservative reason to oust president -- -- seems like nobody remembers the big flap but the Democratic Convention over whether or not god was going to be in the platform that kind of thing and you know -- the Clint Eastwood moment.
I've got all of the attention and -- you right look but there's of certain rule here and Republicans essential have to learn it if you're gonna if the whole essence of invention is a tightly choreographed.
Event and you tightly -- -- and you can put.
In other input things help you better.
For example rubio is terrific and those those videos of the families who -- the Miami helped those are very moving and nobody saw them as they're in the wrong hour.
Use it in the middle of tight there -- if we don't -- to -- his values he has got going now.
That was not it's not Smart and has been a considerable little cottage industry of what finger pointing back and forth about who's idea that was -- out there and most of -- Think the loyal campaign ads I mean that is a joke.
Around from here blaming -- himself.
Yeah I mean I I was struck by Tom hamburgers piece in the Washington Post that.
Called the Romney campaign.
Campaign now now practice I mean there were so many mistakes it became obvious to the press and the Republicans kept saying.
Oh this isn't evidence of me but I suspect in fact it was just a badly run campaign and that became very very clear and the voters showed us it was clear.
And then we got to the debates when the media seem to have their thumb on one side of course there's that memorable moment.
When CNN can CNN's Candy Crowley and gave the president a little bit of a list tickled -- look.
I -- to make sure we get that for the record because it took the president fourteen days before he called the attack and then -- an act of terror get the transfer.
It if he did in -- in facts are so let me let me give -- call an active here and little other candidate -- -- He did.
-- an active terror it did as well.
Take it it is well take that two weeks or so for the whole idea of -- being a -- out there about this tape.
But to come out this after the president had done so poorly in the first debate in Denver did that salvaged the race for him and probably did are certainly helped.
Look again this is where Romney had to say look folks what you just saw.
Was my opponent Barack Obama and my -- -- and Candy Crowley teaming up against us.
And he'd done that everybody would have gotten it instead Romney sort of in it's it's unbelievably hard situation -- on my TV about it in people but.
And you need that gift of situation awareness to do it Gingrich -- -- in the in the primaries and.
Interest and you know and I think one quick mention here and I think it's worthy of our.
Discussion here years and which is that Twitter and social -- -- played a bigger role in the election and media coverage than ever before.
And then if you were following conservative blogs conservative web sites conservative media.
You really had a different view of this election and different view of the debates the debates for example the first debate that so famous I think turn on the fact that so many people.

Cant see it happening.
330 is 3.5 runs per over, with the bowlers picked that's going to be a terrific batting performance I think.
It does depend on who gets the runs, if it's Ponting, Clarke, Haddin for Australia is going to be more likely then a Hussey or Katich ton.
NO is my answer.

Michael Phelps heads into retirement the only way imaginable — with an 18th Olympic gold medal. Since his Olympic debut as a 15-year-old in Sydney a dozen years ago, Phelps has won twice as many golds as any other Olympian. His total of 22 medals is easily the best mark, too. Phelps capped off a mind-boggling career with a victory in the 4x100-meter medley relay Saturday. Here's a look back at Phelps' Olympic career in photos:

It affects between one and two in every 1000 babies, yet most people have never heard of Erb's Palsy or Brachial Plexus injuries.
Wolumla's Kellie Rosseland hadn't heard of it either.
But after watching her little daughter go through pain, surgery and physiotherapy almost from the day she was born, Kellie's now determined every pregnant mother will know about this condition.
"I had never heard of Erb's Palsy and it seems no one I speak to has either even though it affects more newborns than those born with Down Syndrome and Muscular Dystrophy," she said.
"I know there are some families in the local area that have recently experienced the same thing and I want them to know they are not alone."
In February last year Kellie gave birth to her first child, a daughter, Kiara.
Kellie said it was a difficult labour during which the baby's shoulder got stuck.
"Basically, the nerves in the baby's neck are either stretched or torn causing one or both arms to be paralysed," Kellie said.
After Kiara was born she could not move her right arm and her parents were simply told she had a "birth injury".
"We had no information about what had happened and had no awareness of the risk factors and possible consequences of shoulder dystocia or Erbs Palsy. "Looking back now I realise I had 90 per cent of the risk factors and would have planned my delivery method differently had I been informed.
"We have had a horrific journey with Kiara and she has had to endure surgery, physiotherapy and pain and will for the rest of her life.
"She is lucky and has regained movement however it will be a while before we know how good her recovery will be and if she will have to have more surgery."
While in countries like the USA and the UK Brachial Plexus Awareness Weeks are held, Kellie is taking it upon herself to raise awareness here.
She is urging pregnant women to speak to their doctors about their risk factors and ways to avoid this injury.
"If you are having a big baby, are overweight, are being induced or are thinking of having an epidural please ask your doctor about shoulder dystocia and Erbs Palsy," she said.
"As a mother it is mortifying knowing that this could have been avoided if I was more informed.
"If you know anyone affected by this injury or someone looking for support there is an Australian Erb's Palsy support group on facebook.
"Please find us, you are not alone," Kellie said.

The Holy Land Trek
October 8, 2012 Leave a comment
You may recall that not so long ago I mentioned Günther Simmermacher's (the editor of The Southern Cross) upcoming book 'The Holy Land Trek', which I was really quite excited about. Well, I'm pleased to announce that it'll be published on October 24 and they have a live website up and running for the book. You can check it all out here.
Let Günther Simmermacher guide you through the greatest holy sites of the Holy Land and Jordan on a virtual itinerary. Read about the history of the places where Jesus and his disciples worked and walked, their biblical and historical significance — and meet some interesting people along the way. Find out where we can locate the historical Jesus – and even the steps upon which he definitely walked – and why the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is most probably the actual site of the Crucifixion and Resurrection. This book is for people who are preparing to go on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land; for people who have been and wish to relive their experience, and for people who have never been but want to get to know the arena of Christ's ministry.
And here is the foreword by Archbishop Stephen Brislin:
'…the two disciples followed Jesus. Jesus turned round, saw them following and said: "What do you want?" They answered: "Rabbi," – which means Teacher – "where do you live?" "Come and see," he replied; and so they went and saw where he lived, and stayed with him the rest of that day.' (John 1:38-39)
The Holy Land Trek invites you to embark on a journey of faith, to 'come and see' where the historical Jesus lived and stayed, taught and healed, loved and suffered. It is an invitation to reflect on — and in some way experience — the great drama of salvation history, centred in this land, so tiny but yet radiating to the ends of the earth. It invites you to see what the Lord saw, to hear what he heard, beyond what the eye can see and the ear can hear, to that which is recognised by a heart searching for and desiring God, the heart that is always willing to say 'yes' to him and to open itself to him.
Pilgrimages are an ancient tradition in the Catholic Church, as they are in many other religions of the world. Particularly, pilgrimages to the Holy Land were a custom that began among Christians from the earliest times after Christ's death, but were popularised after the visit there by the Empress Helen, mother of the Emperor Constantine. Interrupted before the Crusades in the Middle Ages, and somewhat disapproved of by the Reformers in the sixteenth century, pilgrimages always remained entrenched in Catholicism as a good thing to do, an expression of faith and a deepening of relationship with Christ. As dangerous — brigands and robbers saw pilgrims as a soft target — and as time consuming — no Airbuses then — as they were in those days, pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and later to other places, were popular and part of the Catholic culture.
Although pilgrimages are common to world religions, what makes them appealing to Christianity is the deep-rooted understanding from our Judaistic origins that we are mere sojourners in the world, that life is an Exodus and our dwelling here nothing more than a tent in the desert. For every Jew, their father was 'a wandering Aramean' (Deuteronomy 26:5) and they were called 'to a land rich and broad, a land where milk and honey flow' (Exodus 3:8), a land that God promised them and itself filled with promise.
The Christian understanding is that we are still on the way to that Promised Land, that Christian life itself is a pilgrimage, that we are still seekers wandering through the desert of light and shadow, hope and disappointment, of good interwoven with evil. We are only too aware of Christ beckoning and calling, 'Come, follow me' (Matthew 19:21), encouraging us to leave behind the familiar, the comfortable, what is safe, and embarking on a journey of the unknown, sacrifice and indeed risk. But we do so with the sure faith that we are not left unaided or unguided, that 'the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night' (Exodus 13:21) are always with us, and that Christ promised that he would not leave us orphans (John 14:18), but that his Father would give us the Holy Spirit.
And so, as you read the chapters of this book and trek through the Holy Land — in this case guided neither by pillar of cloud nor fire, but by the author — you will continually be aware of the fluctuation between the physical and the spiritual, between what was, what is and what is yet to be. You will be enveloped with that knowledge that you are part and parcel of this great story and that the history uncovered is also your history. (Incidentally, this is the reason why — should you need a local guide in the Holy Land — it is far preferable to have a Palestinian Christian to guide you: not only is he or she deeply rooted in the land and history, but the tour will be an expression of faith and not merely repeating the guidebook).
Whether you are reading of King David's Bethlehem, the unimportant Nazareth, the dangerous road to Jericho, or crossing the once mighty Jordan River, you will be fascinated as the history of God's people is uncovered. Every archaeological find, whether it be the synagogue in Magdala or Jacob's Well, the house of Peter or the 'Jesus Boat', brings alive our faith and tantalises us to dig deeper, to find out more. Every discovery becomes an allegory of the treasures of our faith which we uncover on our journey of faith, often incomplete, often nothing more than a glimpse as through a glass darkly, but occasionally a discovery that makes the scales fall from our eyes and we can only wonder at the marvels of the Lord.
If you have been to the Holy Land, this book will bring back vivid memories of your pilgrimage and will certainly make you determined to return to discover even more and breathe the air that Jesus, Mary, Joseph, the Apostles and the Prophets breathed. It will make you realise that even though you have seen the holy places, there is more to see and more to learn — much like Scripture: no matter how many times we have heard the readings, there is always something new and more to learn.
If you are planning to go on pilgrimage, this book will help prepare you for the journey so that you will be able to appreciate the holy sites, not in some abstract way, but as a strengthening of faith. The descriptions and the history recorded in this book will put you in the frame of mind that will enable your pilgrimage to be what a pilgrimage should be — a deepening of your relationship with the Triune God.
If you are unable to undertake a pilgrimage for whatever reason, the pages that follow will bring alive an experience of Jesus in history and God's intervention in the life of the world. They will lead you to an encounter of God's care and love for his people, evidence of his closeness to his people and his oneness with us. Christ is Lord of the cosmos and his reign has no barrier. You don't have to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land to be in relationship with Christ, but this book does give you a sense of the land that Christ walked and helps the Scriptures to be appreciated in a new way.
Open your hearts as you read on and enjoy the journey.

Minecraft Version Patcher, also called MCPatcher is a small tool,
which can change your Minecraft version easy, comfortable and fast.
A progress which is also called up- and downgrade.
MCPatcher does only Work with Windows. Since porting to other systems would be very complicated, I won't do that!
MCPatcher is officially supported by Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 (maybe it works with an older Windows too).
Since Minecraft Beta 1.5 nearly all versions from MCPatcher are ready for HD texture packs.
Based on the automatic version check, it's very easy to find this out,
because all versions which are ready for HD texture packs have a HDReady in their name.
If you need help, look at this page or contact me via email (see contact).
You can ask your questions in German and English.
Have fun!

Organizational rankings and top 10 prospects per team
June 30, 2012 NHL Draft Wrap-Up Northwest Division
by Corey Pronman
These reviews are not meant to be in-depth player profiles, for those you can find my player reports here. I generally spend time during the year gathering info on players I consider top three round talents or those I think will go in the top three rounds, therefore I do not go in-depth into later round picks.
Calgary Flames Player Position Selected (HP Rank) Mark Jankowski Center 21 (36) Patrick Sieloff Defense 42 (69) Jon Gillies Goaltender 75 Brett Kulak Defense 105 (121) Ryan Culkin Defense 121 (110) Coda Gordon Left Wing 165 (86) Matt DeBlouw Center 186
Day 1: Calgary went for a home run pick in every definition of the word. Jankowski is a player I ranked 36th due to several uncertainty reasons such as the league he played in, but I would concede has top-20 tools. He's a gifted puck possessor with good skills and arguably plus hockey sense. He'll need several years due to his underwhelming strength level and needing experience at a faster pace, but he could be a good risk/reward pick.
Day 2: Calgary followed a gusty first pick by going relatively safe throughout Day 2 outside of Gillies. Sieloff is an ultra-competitive defender who is very physical, skates well, and provides little offense. Gillies is a huge goalie who is very athletic and quick for a player his size, but is quite raw and is many seasons away. Kulak is a tough, physical defensive defender with a little offensive touch. Culkin is a smart puck-mover with a good panic threshold who has to gain a ton of strength. Gordon is a plus physical player with a big shot, but he has average skill and is a poor skater. DeBlouw is a good skater who plays with energy and can make a few plays, but is a bottom-six type of player.
Summary: Despite the semi-controversial top pick (although I know several scouts who would have looked at Jankowski at or close to that range), Calgary ended up getting a fine haul. This draft class could produce several pro players, although if Jankowski isn't one of them, the output won't likely be significant.
Colorado Avalanche Player Position Selected (HP Rank) Mitchell Heard Left Wing 41 Troy Bourke Left Wing 72 (43) Michael Clarke Center 132 Joseph Blandisi Right Wing 162 Colin Smith Center 192
Day 1: No pick
Day 2: Bourke is a player I was really impressed with this year; he's a pretty smart forward with a good skill level and a desirable on-ice work ethic who really carried a poor offensive team this year. Clarke is a smart defensive forward who won't threaten that much in the offensive end. Smith is a player I had in my top 100 last year but didn't rank this season due to lack of notes; he's a solid skater with a great work ethic and was one of the WHL's top scorers this season.
Summary: Colorado probably won't hang their hats on this draft class. Bourke is the only significant talent I see from their 2012 picks aside from a couple of fine depth guys thrown in.
Edmonton Oilers Player Position Selected (HP Rank) Nail Yakupov Right Wing 1 (1) Mitch Moroz Right Wing 32 Jujhar Khaira Left Wing 63 Daniil Zharkov Right Wing 91 (28) Erik Gustafsson Defense 93 Joey Laleggia Defense 123 (89) John McCarron Right Wing 153
Day 1: At the end of the day, logic won out and Yakupov had to be the pick. He's a cornerstone type of asset who is as talented as anyone in the Oilers organization.
Day 2: Moroz is a great physical presence and skated at a fine level, but in my opinion does not have the talent level to warrant such a high selection. Khaira is a fine-sized forward who skates well, but I have few notes on him. Despite his underwhelming counting numbers, I really like Zharkov; he has a ton of skill and played well every time I saw him this year. Laleggia was an offensive monster in the WCHA this year; he's a little guy, and probably won't be able to defend all that well in the pro game, but he has a lot of offensive ability.
Summary: After taking the draft class' best player, Edmonton got a fine mix of upside and safe prospects, although not in the order I would have preferred to take them. They probably could have walked away with a little more talent, but overall outside of Yakupov, their haul was solid.
Minnesota Wild Player Position Selected (HP Rank) Matt Dumba Defense 6 (7) Raphael Bussieres Left Wing 46 (81) John Draeger Defense 68 Adam Gilmour Right Wing 98 Daniel Gunarsson Defense 128 Christoph Bertschy Center 158 (73) Lou Nanne Left Wing 188
Day 1: After taking Jonas Brodin last season, this makes two consecutive drafts of adding tremendously gifted defensemen to the Wild organization, as they continue to make a case to be called one of the best prospect systems in hockey. Dumba was the top defender on my board and is a great do-it-all defender with fantastic offensive tools between his skating, puck skills, shot, and physical game.
Day 2: Bussieres struggled during the year with inconsistency, but he has pretty good tools. He's got a decent frame, skates well, and has creativity. He's a bit of a risk at 46, but has notable upside. Bertschy is a pretty skilled forward who flashed solid possession skills during the World Juniors.
Summary: Minnesota took a lot of talent and rolled the dice on some picks. Dumba isn't all that risky, but has some detractors despite his tremendous talent level. Aside from Bussieres, they also took a few high school kids with upside. This draft class has a lot of potential, but the uncertainty is somewhat high as well.
Vancouver Canucks Player Position Selected (HP Rank) Brendan Gaunce Center 26 (25) Alexandre Mallet Right Wing 57 Ben Hutton Defense 147 Wesley Myron Center 177 Matt Beattie Right Wing 207
Day 1: Scouts I talked to have been divided on Gaunce's upside, which may have led to him slipping to the late first. I love his hockey sense, shot, and physicality, but his skating needs work. Due to how advanced his body and reads are, I've heard a few scouts say he potentially could push for a pro job in the not too distant future.
Day 2: The Canucks certainly has an interesting Day 2 as they took a mix of over-age prospects and Juniors players outside the CHL. Mallet is an agitator with some skill. Beattie may have the best upside of their Day 2 picks, but he's a ways away due to his poor strength level and proving he can light up score sheets beyond the high school hockey pace.
Summary: Vancouver took a somewhat safe first round pick in Gaunce who does have skill but likely won't out-produce his draft slot and it got a little riskier from there out. I'd say this class can likely produce one pro, and if they get two it will be an accomplishment.

Own A Share In A Beehive
These days it seems like everyone has the homesteading bug. Canning classes, chickens in the backyard. Regrettably I'm far too lazy for that. Owning a share in someone else's labor is a bit more my speed. A New Zealand company, Your Pure Honey sells off shares of beehives and receive a supply of Active Manuka honey collected from a single hive. Whereas normal honey is often blended from a bunch of hives, each hive has its own distinctive flavor. It's a bit like a wine made from a single vineyard or whisky pulled from a single cask.
The idea is in the same vein as the Catch A Piece of Maine lobster trap shares, Your Pure Honey provides videos and images that show the hive in its natural surroundings. The chemical-free beehives use organic materials and are moved to remote sites around New Zealand to gather the best nectar from isolated native forests. Each beehive provides the funds to sustain five acres of natural forest.. Buyer can pick up a one-year stake in a beehive – ranging from exclusive rights to a 10 per cent share – which will produce honey for them from September to May.
There are 100 beehives total and three levels of ownership: Premium Partnership provides sole rights to a hive and all the honey it produces (about 40 500g jars); Syndicate Partnership provides a quarter share (about 10 500g jars); and Community Partnership provides a one-tenth share (about four 500g jars). Prices start at $285 including delivery. The entire hive costs $2,500 and will produce 40 jars of honey for the season.

The brand was created by John 'Johnnie' Walker. Walker began his spirits business selling whisky from his grocery store in Ayrshire, Scotland. His whiskies were very popular and following his death in 1857, the company was passed down to his son, Alexander Walker. Alexander, with the help of his son, Alexander Walker II, established the brand and greatly increased its popularity. The first blend - Walker's Old Highland - was created in 1865. The rectangular bottle was introduced in 1870. During the early twentieth century Alexander Walker II and George Walker, Johnnie's grandsons, established the colour naming system. In 1908, the Johnnie Walker name was introduced to the product when the Managing Director, James Stevenson re-branded the range. The walking figure was also conceived around this time. Today, there is a good range: Red, the international best-selling Scotch blend, Black, Swing, Green, Gold and the premium, Blue label.

Dispersal: Photographs by Anna Laurent
October 26, 2013–January 26, 2014
Opening Reception and Artist's Talk: Saturday, October 26, 1–3
Seed pods are incredible vessels, protecting seeds as they develop and assisting with their dispersal. Photographer Anna Laurent explores the evolution of different forms to fulfill these common functions. Individually, each photograph is a fine art portrait of a unique botanic specimen; as a series, the collection becomes a visual and scientific inquiry into the remarkable diversity of botanic design. The project began in urban Southern California and has extended to the rain forests of Hawaii, the deserts of northern Iraq, and public gardens throughout the United States, including the Arnold Arboretum.
Peters Hill 360: Photographs by Meri Bond
February 8, 2014–May 24, 2014
Opening Reception: February 8, 2014, 1–3
The images in Peters Hill 360 reveal Meri Bond's deep relationship to the Peters Hill landscape. Drawn to art after a career in business, Bond has devoted countless hours to photographing the Arboretum. In this show, containing personal favorites selected from thousands of images, individual trees become time travelers and views take on new dimensions with the passage of time. Revisiting the same trees again and again, Bond explores a fascination with light and shadow through the full circle of seasons.

Your GMAT Score
GMAT scores are used by business schools to provide a common yardstick to compare candidates for admission. On the GMAT, you will actually receive four scores:
- A total score, ranging from 200-800
- A math subscore, ranging from 0-60
- A verbal subscore, ranging from 0-60
- A score for your AWA, ranging from 0-6
- An Integrated Reasoning subscore, ranging from 1-8
Your Percentile Rank
Each of the above scores will be accompanied by a percentile rank. The percentile rank highlights what proportion of test takers scored lower than you on the test. The higher the percentile rank, the better you did. For example, if you received a rank of 56, you did better than 56% of test takers. This number shows business schools exactly where you fell with respect to other candidates who took the test.
Your Essay Score
Your essay will be given a separate score on a 0-6 scale by two different graders—a human and a computer called the "e-rater." Your essay is graded holistically, taking into account content, writing style, and grammar. If the two grades agree, that score will be assigned. If they are markedly different, a third grader, a person, will read the essay to determine the grade.
So what makes a great score?
Although the median score is approximately 540, the latest U.S. News and World Report guide reports that the average GMAT scores of the top programs—such as Stanford, Sloan, Kellogg and Wharton—hover around 709. As you can see, the environment is extremely competitive—a 709 translates into the 92nd percentile.
What you consider a good score will depend on your own expectations and goals. Still, you should keep in mind that top M.B.A. programs consider at least a 600 as competitive. Research the average scores of your target schools and then develop a prep plan to achieve it.
School | Avg GMAT Score | Avg GPA |
Harvard | 713 | 3.63 |
Stanford | 721 | 3.61 |
Wharton | 712 | 3.53 |
Sloan | 705 | 3.50 |
Kellogg | 704 | 3.50 |
U of Chicago | 709 | 3.50 |
Tuck | 713 | 3.46 |
Haas | 710 | 3.57 |
Columbia | 707 | 3.40 |
Stern | 700 | 3.40 |

Funding factions: Where's the money, Martha?
Newly elected state Sen. Martha Fuller Clark, D-Portsmouth, has introduced the inevitable bill to restore the $100 million that was cut from the University of New Hampshire's budget in the last legislative session. Of course, there is a catch. The state does not have the money.
Said Fuller Clark to New Hampshire Public Radio last week, "I know that many of us are committed to reinstating the cigarette tax, and I think there may be some other opportunity to find new ways to raise revenues within the given constraints of no income tax, no sales tax." The cigarette tax hike would generate a tiny fraction of the money needed.
We asked her office last week how she would pay for the bill. "Martha is confident, working with her fellow legislators and Gov. Hassan, that the necessary funding can be identified through the process of hearings, etc.," was the response.
In other words, she has no idea. And so it begins. After Democrats took the state Legislature in 2006, they set their spending priorities, then grasped for every possible dime to pay for them. Taxes and fees went up. They even borrowed to pay for operating expenses. Fuller Clark's bill raises the reasonable suspicion that history will repeat itself.
Although Gov.-elect Maggie Hassan has asked department heads to trim spending by 3 percent for next year, her fellow Democrats might make hitting those targets difficult. Let us all hope that if the Democratic Party is split into a Fuller Clark "we'll find the money somehow" faction and a Maggie Hassan "let's see how much money we have" faction, the Hassan faction wins.
