Body Of Mom Found In Trunk Of Car: Police Suspect Foul Play In Ebony Jackson Homicide Investigation [PHOTO]

By IBTimes Staff Reporter | January 10, 2013 6:51 AM EST
Authorities confirmed Tuesday night that a body found inside the trunk of a white, Mitsubishi Eclipse was that of Ebony Jackson.
Speaking with reporters during a press conference Wednesday, St. Louis Metropolitan Police explained that there was some trauma to the body, indicating some form of foul play.
While Jackson's baby was found safe and sound early Friday morning inside a Breckenridge Hills apartment complex, authorities say she had not been heard from since last Thursday. It's still unclear how her baby ended up inside the apartment complex.
According to police, as cited by News9, Jackson lived in Oklahoma but was visiting old friends in East St. Louis. Family members say she phoned a cousin who lives in St. John and left a message on his cell phone indicating she was going to visit him. She never arrived.
Jackson's car was found in the 4400 block of Elmbank in North St. Louis Tuesday morning, News9 reports
It's just totally out of character for her to be in a neighborhood like this, or just the car being in a neighborhood like this," a family member told a local Oklahoma news outlet.
While family members determined she made a phone call indicating she was in Fairview Heights with a friend, the identity of that friend is not known at this time.
A spokesperson for the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department confirmed the department`s involvement in the homicide case but indicated there were still questions about where Jackson-Shelton was murdered.
A Fox News affiliate in St. Louis reports that he baby has been in state custody pending the results of a paternity test taken by a man identifying himself as the father.
Further developments in the case indicate that police are also looking into Jackson's arrest history in Oklahoma City. According to OKC police, Jackson has been arrested three times since 2005, one includes assault and battery on a police officer.
November 27, 2012, was Jackson's most recent arrest in Oklahoma City. Police say she used her son's stroller to hide merchandise at an area Wal-Mart. Jackson was confronted, and arrested, when she walked out.
In 2011, she was caught stealing at Dillard's Department store at Quail Springs Mall.
Family told police that Jackson suffered some sort of previous brain injury, which causes her not to remember things.
Police are looking for leads on this story and encourage anyone with information to send it through the St. Louis chapter of CrimeStoppers.

I think it is terrific and wonder if it is Unprecedented that two high schools from the same community would end up in the State Finals. Congratulations to both schools. GOOD LUCK to both!!!
Afterthought...maybe we should asked them to find solutions to the school budget crisis and the Stoneridge Extension. The "Adults"?? seem best at name-calling from what I am reading in article comment sections.

NORMAN — Oklahoma volleyball junior Eden Williams was among the thousands of horrified basketball fans in the Lloyd Noble Center stands Dec. 6, watching popular senior Whitney Hand writhe in pain from her career-ending ACL tear.
Oklahoma women's basketball: Volleyball players Eden Williams, Tara Dunn offer basketball team an assist
"I teared up," Williams said. "It was just an awful sight; she's such an amazing person."
Never once, though, did Williams or volleyball teammate Tara Dunn think they'd become part of the solution for the women's basketball team, which has suffered four season- or career-ending injuries since the preseason.
But that's exactly what happened; Williams and Dunn were added this week to coach Sherri Coale's roster, giving the Sooners 10 healthy bodies entering Saturday's home game against Cal State Northridge, Oklahoma's final opponent before Big 12 Conference play begins.
Neither Dunn nor Williams enter this new endeavor expecting to play much, if at all. For them, joining the basketball team is about having fun, experiencing something new and — most importantly — helping their friends and fellow OU student-athletes.
"My freshman year ... I was in the dorms with (Kaylon Williams) and Sharane (Campbell), so I knew them," Dunn said. "The athletic community is really small here at Oklahoma, so you pretty much know all the athletes.
"We've been told from the beginning that we're most likely just going to be scout team, which I'm perfectly fine with ... I definitely don't expect anything."
Dunn (6-foot-2) and Williams (5-foot-3) each played basketball from a young age through their senior years of high school, but decided early in their prep careers that volleyball was their future.

Idea not as far-fetched as you might think Brad Biggs
Randy Moss rarely talks with microphones in front of him.
He turned it on at Media Day today from the Superdome as he prepares for Super Bowl XLVII with the San Francisco 49ers.
"I do think I'm the greatest receiver ever to play this game," Moss said.
Naturally, the Twitter world immediately scoffed at the suggestion by Moss, who was pretty much just a role player for the Niners this season. But before you completely dismiss the suggestion by Moss, consider some information our friend Kevin Seifert over at ESPN's NFC North blog put out there:
"Jerry Rice caught 567 more passes for 7,603 more yards than Randy Moss has. Rice has a 14-TD advantage. Rice played 20 seasons, Moss in 14th."
Seifert also points out that Rice put up his amazing numbers playing with Joe Montana and Steve Young for the majority of his career. Moss played with some good quarterbacks and a great one for a brief while with the New England Patriots in Tom Brady. But Rice was consistently with better quarterbacks in better offenses.
And, in case you were wondering, Moss was asked about the Manti Te'o situation also.
""If I ever had an imaginary girlfriend, I never told anybody about it," he said.

Future of Nursing Initiative
MONDAY, June 13 (HealthDay News) -- Exposure to recurrent maternal depressive symptoms in toddlerhood is significantly associated with childhood behavior problems at age 5 years; but formal child care at age 2 can positively impact negative behavior, according to a study published online June 13 in Pediatrics.
Lynne C. Giles, M.P.H., Ph.D., from the University of Adelaide in South Australia, and colleagues evaluated the impact of maternal depressive symptoms during toddlerhood on children's behavior at age 5 years, and whether formal or informal child care modified the association. Data were collected from 438 mothers and their children. Questionnaires were completed by the mothers during their children's infancy, in toddlerhood, and at age 5.
The investigators found that children whose mothers had recurrent depressive symptoms during the children's toddlerhood (age 2.5 or 3) had an increased risk for internalizing, externalizing, and total behavior problems at age 5. The presence of intermittent maternal depressive symptoms did not significantly affect children's behavior problems. The effect of recurrent maternal depression at age 5 was modified when the child was in formal child care at age 2 years, but informal child care did not significantly impact child behavior problems.
"As little as half a day in formal child care at the age of 2 years significantly modified the effect of recurrent maternal depressive symptoms on total behavior problems," the authors write.

Resellers face issues with unlocking AT&T iPhones
iPhone resellers that had previously unlocked AT&T iPhones in bulk have ran into issues with unlocking the phones recently, putting their businesses in jeopardy. The Wall Street Journal tells the story of Louis Ashner, who ran a business buying used American iPhones and reselling them in China. Sometime in October, Ashner was suddenly unable to unlock iPhones in bulk, and his business collapsed. Other business owners in the U.S. are reportedly experiencing the same issues. It appears that AT&T has done something to make the devices harder to unlock — the carrier didn't comment on the issue, but AT&T did say it hasn't changed its policies for unlocking phones for individual customers. AT&T stopped accepting unlocking requests over the phone in mid-October, and now requires online requests.

Professors Explore End-of-Life Needs for HIV/AIDS Patients in Appalachian Region
Approximately 10,000 Americans die with an HIV/AIDS diagnosis each year, and many of these patients lack access to the care they need at the end of their lives. This is especially true for those who live in the Appalachian region. A group of nursing professors at UT is embarking on a study to try to change this. The study team includes Sadie Hutson, associate professor, and Ken Phillips, professor and associate dean of research in the College of Nursing.
College of Nursing Students Receive Scholarships; Help Fill Nursing Shortage
A grant awarded to the College of Nursing is helping fill the nation's nursing shortage. For the second year in a row, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation New Careers in Nursing Scholarship Program is awarding $10,000 scholarships to select students—those who are making a career switch to nursing and are members of a group that is underrepresented in the field. This year, eight students will receive scholarships.

Nursing Grad Combines Service, Studying with Honors Degree
Jessica Wilson will have a special distinction when she graduates this week: She's the first student to complete the College of Nursing's honors program. In the past, she said, "it's been difficult for nursing students to graduate with honors." The rigor of the nursing curriculum kept them from finishing their honors requirements. This year, Sadie Hutson, associate professor of nursing, launched an honors program within the college. To graduate with honors, students must complete eight honors nursing courses and maintain a GPA of 3.5.
Honorary Degrees, Notable Speakers Highlight Spring Commencements
UT will award two honorary degrees and welcome a host of accomplished speakers at this spring's commencement ceremonies, which begin May 8. Honorary degrees will be awarded to renowned journalist John Seigenthaler at the College of Law commencement and to opera singer Mary Costa, known as the voice of Sleeping Beauty, at the College of Arts and Sciences commencement. More than 3,730 undergraduate and graduate students will receive degrees at thirteen college ceremonies this spring.

Standard Fact Sheet
Expanded Fact Sheet - Retail Shares
Expanded Fact Sheet - Institutional Shares
The Review and Outlook for period ending September 30, 2014 is not yet available
Facebook Inc. is the world's largest social network. Shares of Facebook were up in Q3 on reports of continued improvements in consumer engagement and mobile monetization. We believe that Facebook is in the early innings of building out its global advertising business while investing in newer synergistic offerings such as Instagram and WhatsApp.
Twitter, Inc. is an online social networking and micro-blogging service that enables users to send and read short messages. Shares of Twitter performed well in the quarter as investors saw signs of greater consumer engagement and improved monetization on the platform. We believe Twitter is in the early stages of its overall growth and has substantial runway ahead of it.
Shares of Apple, Inc. increased in Q3 as investors purchased the stock ahead of the new iPhone 6 launch. Lines, both virtual and physical, were longer than any other launch in Apple's history, and 10 million devices were sold in the first weekend. Apple also introduced a payment system and a watch, which helped shift investor sentiment around new product innovation and categories in the post-Jobs era. Being the most valuable company on earth makes it harder to grow but so far, Apple is proving the naysayers wrong.
Shares of Las Vegas Sands Corp., which operates casinos in Las Vegas, Singapore and Macau, fell in Q3 as China's corruption crackdown and more stringent visa restrictions dampened growth in Macau. In addition, the junkets which bring in VIP rollers, lend them money, and settle their debts, are proving less willing to extend generous credit terms, as it has become harder to collect debts. Despite these setbacks, we believe that as new supply comes online and infrastructure improves, Las Vegas Sands will continue to grow in this underpenetrated market.
Shares of Illumina, Inc. declined in Q3. Illumina is the leading provider of next generation DNA sequencing instruments and consumables. There was no specific reason for the decline. The shares are up significantly over the past year, driven by strong momentum following the announcement of multiple new product introductions. We believe Illumina has further distanced itself from its competitors and holds an effective monopoly on DNA sequencing at a time when demand is accelerating, and our conviction in the long-term investment thesis remains unchanged.
Shares of leading seed and traits company Monsanto Co. fell in Q3, driven down by weak grain prices, which has dampened investor enthusiasm across the agricultural complex. Monsanto also issued lower-than-expected guidance following its biennial investor event in August. Monsanto is not immune to lower grain prices, but we continue to own the stock as we believe it is a highly cash generative franchise with dominant market share, high barriers to entry, and compelling long-term global growth prospects.
This Fund does not have an Attribution Analysis for this time period.

ArcelorMittal invests billions to expand SA capacityBack

© Reuse this With its very positive outlook on domestic demand and the comfort of higher steel prices as motivation, steel powerhouse ArcelorMittal South Africa will be making significant investments until 2011.
Speaking at its financial results presentation in Johannesburg CEO Rick Reato provided an overview of the upcoming expenditure, singling-out the plans for a new three-million tons a year furnace at Newcastle, to replace the existing two-million-tons-a-year N5 furnace, as one of the highlights.
The new furnace (N6) would come on stream in 2011, and Reato said that it would satisfy the future demand that was expected from local and Southern African markets.
In the meantime, however, a 'mini' reline, worth R170-million and lasting 45 days, was currently under way at N5. Reato explained that the furnace was undergoing a mini-reline as, although ArcelorMittal had committed to putting in a new furnace, it needed capacity now and the reline would provide this for the next four to five years.
Between 2008 and 2011, some R450-million would be spent on furnace relines, R2-billion on maintaining capability, R2,9-billion on steel capacity increase, R2,7-billion on downstream value-adding projects and about R1-billion on environmental projects.
On flat products production, Reato said that some R600-million would be invested in direct-reduction iron kilns at Vanderbijlpark to double current capacity to 350 000 t. This should be completed by the third quarter of this year.
Some R275-million was being spent on the 70-day-long reline of Corex and Midrex at the Saldanha works - which Reato noted was currently under way.
Next year will see the start of the development of a new colour line, with a capacity of 100 000 t, at Vanderbijlpark which is due to come on line in 2010.
A new galavanising line will also be built at Vanderbijlpark - however, Reato noted that its exact capacity had not yet been calculated.
The first quarter of next year would also see an ore screen and stockhouse upgrade at Saldanha worth R50-million.
On the long products side, upcoming major investments include the Maputo mill in 2008, the new bar/section mill in 2011, the new billet caster in 2011 and the crane and gantry upgrade, worth R150-million, in the fourth quarter of this year.
Reato also outlined the environmental spend which included a sinter clean gas investment of R170-million at Vereeniging works, and electric arc furnace dust extraction at the Vanderbijlpark and Vereeniging plants. In 2009, some R75-million would be spent on calcium carbide desulphurisation at the Newcastle works and lastly, Reato noted that R100-million was to be spent on an evaporator crystalizer this year in order to achieve "0% effluent discharge status".

"I ordered the invitations and many products under the "Simple Pleasure" line. I had some special cards made up to sit at the dinner plates that were exactly what I wanted. All products were printed clearly and precisely on good quality paper. Everyone loved the invitation......I received nothing but compliments on these products."
"The paper quality is great so when you write your message on the back it's thicker so u don't hve to worry about it bleeding thru. The pictures are quite small so just pick more zoomed in pictures. Everyone from your wedding wants to see pictures so this is perfect so show people what a few looked like. I got so many compliments from family and friends for these thank you's! And ordering is so simple and customizing the designers review is an added bonus to use for creating the perfect item!"
"This card is adorable and perfect for thank-yous for my fiance's and my wedding shower/cocktail party. My only problem with the product, I didn't bother to check on dimensions and I thought it'd be larger (more like a postcard)."
"It was all personalized and felt they were one of the kind. I loved them wished they were a tad bigger but did not effect how much I loved them and my guests too."
"I decided to chose several photos from throughout the night and now when I look at the thank you card, I am reminded of what a wonderful night I shared with the people closest to me."

About City of Hope
Myeloma Treatment Approaches
Just as every patient is different, we recognize that every multiple myeloma case is different. What distinguishes City of Hope in the treatment of patients with myeloma is seamless continuity of care. From a new diagnosis to treatment with the newest drugs within our extensive program of
myeloma clinical trials
to transplantation, patients are treated by the same team of doctors who see them through every phase of treatment and recovery. City of Hope also offers the expertise of geriatric oncologists who specialize in the treatment of older patients.
Our patients are provided treatments based on the latest evidence available and up-to-date clinical guidelines. Factors that determine the therapy regimen include:
Stage of myeloma
If there are related conditions—such as kidney damage, brittle/fractured bones or infection—present
Prior therapies, if any
Patient's characteristics, such as age and overall health
Choice of the patient and care provider, if multiple treatment options are available
Based on these factors, the myeloma treatment regimen may include one or more of the following:
Chemotherapy, or the use of cancer-fighting drugs, is often an essential component of myeloma treatment because a systemic approach is necessary to kill cancerous cells in the bone marrow and throughout the bloodstream. Chemotherapy is usually given in cycles, with breaks in between to allow patients to recover from side effects.
Standard chemotherapy drugs used for myeloma may include one or more of the following:
Bartezomib (Velcade®)
Carfilzomib (Kyprolis®)
Fludarabine (Fludara®)
Lenalidomide (Revlimid®)
Melphalan (Alkeran®)
Pomalidomide (Pomalyst®)
Additionally, City of Hope researchers and clinicians are constantly developing new regimens to improve the effectiveness of existing drugs or building new drugs that are more powerful against myeloma. In particular, City of Hope researchers are studying cancer drugs (and drug combinations) that are more effective against relapsed myeloma.
By modifying the immune system, the patient's own disease-fighting cells can be used to track and attack myeloma cells throughout the body. This can dramatically enhance other myeloma therapies and lead to better outcomes.
Immunotherapy approaches being used or studied at City of Hope include:
Monoclonal Antibodies
Unlike standard chemotherapy that typically affects both cancerous and normal cells, monoclonal therapies are highly targeted drugs that can hone in on cancer cells. After attaching to the cell, the antibody can interfere with the myeloma's growth, be used as a delivery or targeting mechanism for other cancer therapies and/or trigger an immune response against the myeloma.
Adoptive T-Cell Therapy
T-cells are a powerful part of the immune system, and new approach being studied at City of Hope involves redirecting T-cells to recognize cancer cells specific to myeloma. T-cells are extracted then genetically modified so they can recognize, target and destroy the cancer cells. Studies are ongoing for this novel approach to treat recurrent, relapsed or refractory myelomas.
Stem Cell Transplantation
City of Hope is a leader in the use of
stem cell transplantation
to treat myeloma and other blood cancers. Since the program began in 1976, more than 12,000 transplants have been performed and it has been recognized for
superior survival outcomes
for nine consecutive years—
the only transplant center in the United States with such an achievement
Transplants are sometimes performed early in the course of treatment to improve long-term results or it may be utilized when other treatments are not working. Studies have shown that high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplant increases response and survival rates compared to standard chemotherapy alone for myeloma patients.
In this procedure, a patient undergoes intensive chemotherapy, and sometimes radiation therapy, to destroy the cancer-causing cells followed by an infusion of healthy new stem cells. The stem cell transplant may be either autologous (extracted from the patient's own body) or allogeneic (using stem cells taken from another person.)
One known complication of allogeneic transplants is graft versus host disease (GvHD), in which the newly transplanted cells does not recognize the recipient's body as their own and forms an immune response against it. City of Hope is on the forefront of tackling this condition and is constantly improving allogeneic transplant protocols to minimize GvHD risk and severity.
Nonmyeloablative (Mini) Transplants
City of Hope physicians also specialize in "mini" stem cell transplants for patients who cannot tolerate the side effects associated with a standard stem cell transplantation, such as older patients or patients with other medical conditions. These transplants rely less on the heavy doses of chemotherapy and radiation and more on the antitumor effects of the graft itself. This novel approach has patients who otherwise ineligible, including patients in their 70s, to be treated with this lifesaving procedure. Thus, this is particularly beneficial for CLL patients, who are usually in this age range upon diagnosis.
Outpatient Day Hospital
Some myeloma patients may be treated in an outpatient setting with City of Hope's day hospital, which allows them to receive their stem cell transplant without staying at the hospital overnight. Studies have shown that the day hospital model meets clinical standards for stem cell transplant without compromising quality of care. Further, this can improve patient satisfaction by giving them the option to spend their evenings at home with loved ones.
Learn more about the day hospital for myeloma patients.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy
uses high-energy X-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing. City of Hope is the first in the western United States to treat myeloma using the
Helical TomoTherapy System®
, which reduces the unwanted exposure of normal tissues and reduces potential complications. The system combines radiation delivery with real-time imaging, allowing doctors to deliver a higher dose of radiation with greater precision. This significantly improves outcomes and reduces side effects compared to traditional whole-body irradiation, which unnecessarily exposes healthy tissues.
Because myeloma spreads throughout the bone marrow and bloodstream,
plays a limited role in treatment. However, surgery may be performed to treat localized myeloma-related conditions.

I said to him, "This is the last disillusionment, this striving to become someone. You are it. Now be disillusioned that all your pilgrimage has been an exercise in utter futility. You have been standing in the same place and only dreaming of preparations. And if your years of preparation have not brought you to this disillusionment, they have been in vain."
Everybody enters the world searching, seeking; it is in a way natural. But maturity comes when you realize, "My God, I am the one whom I have been seeking!" So the title of his book will look a little strange to the person when he comes to my conclusion in the end. Years of preparation for what? To know that there was no need of any preparation.
I also told Amrito about a tremendously beautiful pack of cards that existed in China, in the days of Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu. It has ten cards describing the search, the pilgrimage. Those ten cards are called The Ten Bulls of Zen. In the first picture, the bull is lost. And naturally, the owner is looking all around, thick forest, and he cannot see his lost bull.
In the second picture he finds footprints; now he has some clue. In the third picture he sees the bull - not completely, but just his tail - by the side of a huge tree. But now things are becoming more certain. In the fourth picture he sees half of the bull.
In the fifth picture he has found the bull in its completeness. In the sixth picture he holds the bull by the horns. In the seventh picture he is riding home on the bull. In the eighth picture the bull is put in his place, and in the ninth picture the man is sitting outside his house, playing a flute.
When these ten pictures were transferred to Japan, they cut out the last picture. They accepted only nine pictures. What more is there? You have come home, you are playing the flute, everything is beautiful. That which was lost has been found.
But when I looked at the tenth picture I said, "These people got stuck at the ninth. The tenth is the most important." But it went against their ideological, religious, moral training. The tenth picture is: the man is going towards the marketplace with a bottle of wine. The buddha has now really come home.
Unless a buddha becomes absolutely ordinary, it is still an ego trip. To be as ordinary as the trees, as the birds, as the animals, as the mountains - no bragging about any spirituality, because even the bragging about spirituality is nothing but a very subtle ego trip.
It hurts me to say to you that Gautam Buddha declared, "I am the only enlightened man in the whole history of man. My enlightenment will never be superseded" - this is the ninth picture. The same was the situation with J. Krishnamurti; he could never get out of the ninth picture. He could not become what he has always been.
Mind's ways are very cunning. It will become the richest man, it will become the most powerful man, it will become the "most" of anything. But it has to be on the top. It will be difficult for you if you find a Buddha in a pub, but that is the right place. He has come home, he has accepted his natural spontaneity.

Just what makes those Lucky Charms so "magically delicious™?" Why, the imprisonment of leprechauns, unicorns, uni…cats and other fantastic creatures.
At least, that's according to Cold Cereal, the new fantasy novel by Adam Rex.
Goodborough, New Jersey, is the home of Goodco, a sugary cereal company that dominates millions of breakfast tables with an iron spoon—er…fist. The town is also the new home of Scottish Play Doe and his family. His mother has just accepted a job there. Scott's absent dad is a famous actor whose latest claim to fame is punching the Queen of England in the face.
Making friends at a new school is pretty hard when you have a name as strange as Scott's. Thankfully, he finds some pretty weird friends. Erno and Emily Utz are genius twins who look nothing alike. Their foster father, Mr. Wilson, also works for Goodco and is constantly challenging them with games of coded logic. Like when he suddenly stops using the letter E.
I used to have an old Volvo that broke down frequently. The problem was a hose that would fly off of the engine. I always carried a screwdriver which I would use to reattach the hose and go on my way. One morning I was rushing in the door to work after one of these episodes when my supervisor stopped me. "What happened to you?" she asked with concern. I had no idea what she was talking about until I followed her eyes down to my arms and realized that my forearms were covered with black dirt and grease.
I explained about having to fix my car on the way to work, and she just stood and stared at me silently for a very awkward minute. Suddenly she burst into song! "I am woman. Hear me roar. With numbers too big to ignore. And I've come too far to turn back and pretend." She turned to walk away but kept on singing at the top of her lungs. Her song only died away when she turned the corner and went down the other hall.
Right then and there I decided to get a new car.
"Our beliefs do not determine what is true or false. They do not determine objective reality. But they do determine what we see."
In Believing Is Seeing, Errol Morris investigates the complex relationship between documentary photographs and the truth we assume they deliver. Best known as the gifted documentarian behind films such as The Fog of War, Standard Operating Procedure, and The Thin Blue Line, Morris has spent years pondering how authenticity, truth, and appearance converge and complicate one another. It is hardly surprising then that Morris's analysis of documentary photography is insightful and accessible.
Errol Morris's cinematic explorations often fixate on a specific figure or series of events. He then breathes life into the topic by artfully combining provocative interviews and extensive research. Believing is Seeing successfully incorporates this methodology while simultaneously deconstructing the very notion of documentary veracity. The book consists of essays, each one describing a case study in which documentary photographs created controversy, conflicting interpretations, or troubling implications. Morris elucidates both the context and reception of each image with interviews and archival research.
He also analyzes both contemporary and historical images, demonstrating that many of the same issues and questions have been recurring since the advent of photography. Whether the photograph was taken in 1855 during the Crimean War or in 2003 at Abu Ghraib, our collective tendency to equate an image with a finalized truth has been problematic. To borrow Morris's succinct phrasing, "…photographs allow us to think we know more than we really do. We can imagine a context that isn't really there."
Grace Manning is a fifteen-year-old candy striper at a local nursing home, Hanover House, with a spunky attitude. Her life has been in a free fall since her father recently left her mother, sister, and her to build a new life with a woman from the church where he used to take his daughters every Sunday. Grace's mother doesn't quite have a stance on her beliefs about God, but church was always the place Grace and her sister Sophie went with their father. Now that their father is gone Grace has to come to terms with her religious beliefs. In God is in the Pancakes, by Robin Epstein, Grace must sort out life, love, friendship, and God.

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg is a wonderful book. It's funny, it's southern, it has quirky characters, but a wonderful sense of family and place. "This classic and folksy novel takes readers back to the thirties, where a friendship blooms between two girls who run a homey, little cafe in Alabama. A story of food, love, laughter, and even murder unfolds as an elderly woman relates her life story to a middle-aged friend." (Book summary).

Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns.
July 5, 1906...was the day E. Rucker Blakeslee, proprietor of the general store and barely three weeks a
widower, eloped with Miss Love Simpson - a woman half his age and, worse yet, a Yankee. (synopsis)
Zita the Spacegirl gets down to business right away. It starts with two friends, a mysterious crater, and a device that opens a portal to another dimension.
Meek Joseph is immediately captured by a tentacled being with a deep sea diver's helmet. Adventurous Zita, in a daring effort to save her friend, follows the creature through the portal. A strange alien planet exists on the other side, and Zita finds that she is not welcomed with open arms.
The Left Bank Gang opens with a dog shuffling down the streets of 1920's Paris, keeping mostly to himself. He ignores a panhandler, but then sees another dog that he recognizes. They shake hands. One dog's name is Ezra Pound. The other's is Ernest Hemingway.
Gang is a clever nugget of alternate history fiction. Rather than focusing on complex geopolitical questions like "What if the Germans won World War II?" Norwegian cartoonist Jason turns to the zeitgeist of expatriate writers such as Pound, Fitzgerald, Joyce, and Hemingway. His hypothesis is "What if all of these starving geniuses just got fed up and turned to crime?"
Harley Day was a mean, shiftless, good-for-nothing drunk. He regularly beat up on his wife and kids. So when he was found frozen to death in a snowbank outside his house, no one seemed to mourn. After all, The Old Buzzard Had It Coming--which is the title of the first Alafair Tucker mystery by Donis Casey.
Set in 1912, this book introduces Alafair Tucker, who lives with her husband and nine children on the Oklahoma frontier. It's an interesting look at frontier life at the beginning of the 20th century. Some of the details seem so modern, but much of the day-to-day life for a frontier ranching family seems like unbelievable deprivation and hardship 100 years on.
Ryan Dooley has always been in trouble. Victim Rights, by Norah McClintock, tells of his journey from one side of the law to the other. Dooley, as he prefers to be called, had a hard life growing up. He was forced to try to care for his mother, all the while taking care of himself because no one else was able to take care of him. However, when his ex-cop uncle found him in a juvenile detention center, he offers him an ultimatum. If Dooley will stay out of trouble, his uncle will provide for him until he turns eighteen in a couple months.
The first book in the Tales of the Otori series by Lian Hearn is Across the Nightingale Floor: Set in an imaginary, ancient Japanese society dominated by warring clans, Across the Nightingale Floor is a story of a boy who is suddenly plucked from his life in a remote and peaceful village to find himself a pawn in a political scheme, filled with treacherous warlords, rivalry-and the intensity of first love. In a culture ruled by codes of honor and formal rituals, Takeo must look inside himself to discover the powers that will enable him to fulfill his destiny.

text: The Captain Midnight wiki last edited by chrisburgess99 on 09/12/14 07:41PM View full history There are at least four distinct versions of the character called Captain Midnight.All were named Captain Jim "Red" Albright, and all got their code name during World War I from a general who had sent him on a suicide mission calling him Captain Midnight when, to everyone's surprise, he survived it returning at the stroke of midnight.After that the different versions of Capt. Midnight vary.The Radio Captain MidnightThe original version of the character was the leader of the Secret Squadron, a paramilitary organization made up of ace pilots, both male and female, along with mechanics, and even a few scientists fighting sabotage and espionage during the period prior to the United States' entry into World War II.Once World War II started the stories shifted to Europe, the Pacific and Asia and dealt mainly with Axis villains trying to steal the newest weapons and airplanes of the Allied Forces. After the war the Capt. and the Secret Squadron switched to fighting criminals.Running from 1938 until 1949 Capt. Midnight was one of the most popular radio dramas in America with several million listeners, almost half of whom it is said were adults, and a large percentage members of the military, particularly the Army Air Corp.The radio series, which had a fairly large cast of regular characters was also noted as having one of the most popular giveaways, the Captain Midnight Decoder.As would be expected with such a popular character it was not long before he showed up in the comics.The First Comic Book Capt. MidnightDell, the home of many newspaper comic strip characters, were also the first ones to produce a version of the Captain.Cutting out most of the secondary characters for their 8 and 10 page stories in The Funnies they kept Midnight as an extremely competent pilot, but otherwise normal (for the comics) human being.The Dell version only lasted for 7 issues of The Funnies, which became New Funnies and dropped all their heroes for Andy Panda and friends. While the good Captain flew over toFawcett's Capt. MidnightInstead of a mere 8 pages the Fawcett Captain Midnight was given a whole comic, as well as being introduced in issue # 1 by Captain Marvel himself. (perhaps they met in the officers club?)The Fawcett Capt. Midnight however resembled the radio Midnight even less. With there being no Secret Squadron at all. And only one of the secondary character showed up at as comedy relief.They also gave their Captain Midnight a bright red super-suit, the ability to fly without using a plane, and a huge roster of super-science gadgets.The Fawcett series ran for over 5 years, by the end of which the idea of Captain Midnight as a pilot was all but forgotten as they turned him into a spaceman battling flying saucers, and weird aliens from Saturn, Mars and the other planets.By the time the Fawcett series ended the radio series was also gone and Captain Midnight, at one time one of America's most popular fiction heroes, soon flew from the public's imagination.On TelevisionOh… and there was a television version of Captain Midnight for a short while as well, but this was after Fawcett's and never showed up in the comics.Captain Midnight Returns!Not seen since the 50's Moonstone, which recently published a collection of Captain Midnight short stories, will be publishing a new Captain Midnight comic sometime in the summer of 2010.Dark Horse ComicsDark Horse took the reigns and has brought Captain Midnight into the 21st Century. Captain Midnight's supporting cast returns, but not in the same roles during World War II.
