Journey's End Begins Again at Playhouse from May
Editorial Staff • West End • 25 Mar 2004
The anniversary revival opened at the Comedy on 21 January 2004 (previews from 15 January), 75 years (to the day) since its first West End season at the Savoy Theatre (See News, 12 Dec 2003). Following critical acclaim, the production extended at the Comedy up to 1 May 2004, when it will now finish there ahead of transferring to the Playhouse for an open-ended season from 3 May.
Based on the author's own experience in the trenches of the First World War, the play follows a group of officers, positioned behind British lines at St Quentin, France, and awaiting their fate. The current ensemble of Journey's End features David Haig, Paul Bradley, Phil Cornwell, Geoffrey Streatfeild and Christian Coulson, though recasting is expected for the new dates at the Playhouse.
The milestone production is directed by David Grindley, who directed the 25th anniversary revival of Mike Leigh's Abigail's Party, at the Hampstead Theatre and in the West End. Journey's End is designed by Jonathan Fensom, with lighting by Jason Taylor and sound by Gregory Clarke. It's presented by Background Productions.

"Using the Wii will be a great way to recruit subjects," said O'Malley. "We can say, 'Hey, kids, come play some games!'"
Their research into what they term the "cognitive modeling of human motor skill acquisition" will focus on three types of learners. "There are experts who learn at a slow, steady pace, but they get there," she said. "There are novices, who learn at a slow, steady pace, but sometimes they never get there. And then there are those who start off awful, but somewhere in the middle of training they suddenly 'get it.'
"What will be interesting is, can we get this last group to 'get it' and become people who learn very quickly by honing in on the right cues? And can we get these people who learn very quickly to improve even faster? We're interested in how these groups of performers differentiate, and if there are inherent characteristics of movement and control policies that lead to expertise. To find out, we need data," O'Malley said.
Here's where Byrne's expertise comes in. An associate professor of psychology who specializes in computer-human interaction, he'll analyze feedback on the range of motion used in performing a task and figure out precisely where the most efficient learning happens.
"I work with the sort of mathematical computational theory of human performance that's never been extended to the kind of dense motor activity we want to study," said Byrne. "There's just not a lot of good data out there."
O'Malley and Byrne have been brainstorming about the kind of data they want to collect. "We're starting with a bunch of Wii games," said Byrne. "We find that some games have really good learning properties we can measure, and there are also some that people don't seem to get a lot better at.
"I can tell you I'm about as bad at Wii golf now as I was when I started playing it."

The Outspoken Media Video Introby Lisa Barone on 04/14/2010 • 67 Comments | Online Marketing
Hey. I was playing around with Google's new Search Stories Video Creator this afternoon and decided Outspoken Media needed it's own search story video. What do you think?
I think we're just missing the puppy that scampers along at the end. ;)
All kidding aside, I think Google's new video creation tool is really neat. If you're a small business owner looking for a fun and simple way to use search to tell a story, these short videos can have a great impact. Plus, because you decide on your own search terms and what vertical you want to query [Web, Blogs, Images, etc], you get to create your own vanity highlight reel to document how awesome you are to your customers. Pretty cool, right?
It's a slow Wednesday and I want to play a game. I dare you to create a video [use the link on the left] and leave it in the comments. In fact, I double dog dare you. You can even make it about Outspoken if you want. ;)

Travels. Cultures. Experiences!
According to some of my buddies, finding good Middle Eastern cuisine is tough to find in Toronto. Actually, it's damn near impossible.
How can that be? Such a multi-ethnic town like this one and not one great place to rave about?
I'm sure I've had some killer shawarmas and falafel in my day. Haven't I?
I listed a bunch of places, all of which my Lebanese, Palestinian and Egyptian buddies laughed at. Actually they laughed at me too.
Apparently, I've been misled for years. Lied to. Cheated.
So, where to go for good Mid-Eastern grub? Where do those who really know, go?
All of them, almost in unison, gave me one special place: Tabule!
Followed the advice. Reservation, a must. In advance, recommended. Place is packed with a lineup on a Saturday at 5pm!
In the mood for apps? Go with the trifecta of dips to start. The Hummus, Baba ghanouj and Tabule, of course! Delicious, the tabule especially stands out. Parsley, whole wheat bulgur, tomatoes, onions and a hint of mint tossed in a light lemon and olive oil dressing, it's a perfect-for-dipping-and-soaking-your-pita kinda dish.
That's why dips come with hot pita. Dip away!
Falafel. Crushed chick peas, split fava, parsley, garlic, onions and spices, fried and served with tahini. What makes them killer at this place? They aren't oily. They're lighter as a result and you can experience, savour their full flavour.
Entree time. Kefta. Two skewers, charbroiled ground mixed lamb and beef with onions, spices and parsley. Comes with a massive amount of rice. If you're not full after this meal, you're crazy.
Keeping it veg? Give the Vegetable a go. A couple of skewers of marinated onions, peppers and zucchini, served on a bed of rice that will make your eyes pop and your stomach stuffed.
And not stuffed in the sense that you regret eating so much. Satisfied stuffed. Fulfilled stuffed.
Dessert? Not a chance. Had Lebanese coffee though. Strong, it's got plenty of cardamom to give it that extra kick. Definitely an acquired taste. If you're adventurous, give it a try.
The bill is easy on the eyes too. Reasonable considering the quality, quantity, high and respectful level of service you get. Dinner for 2 with all the fixin's, including wine, apps, entrees, dessert, tax and tip will cost you anywhere between $60-$75.
Tabule, easily my go-to spot for phenomenal Middle-Eastern.
Details. You know you want 'em.
2009 Yonge Street (just north of Davisville subway), Toronto
Totally my fav Mid East restaurant in town, the closest thing to actually eating in the Mid East we have here!

Sanjiv K. Saini, MD
"I am a big advocate of patient education. I feel that by educating our patients, we can help save their lives and their family and friends lives as well. Skin cancer is a serious thing and it affects all of us. The more we know about skin cancer the more lives we can save. I love being able to remove cancers and leave great results for each of my patients."
Dr. Sainis extensive training includes George Washington University, Georgetown University Medical School and an internship in General Surgery at Washington Hospital Center. He then served for our Nations Air Force as a General Medicine Officer. Soon thereafter, he was promoted to Chief of Aerospace Medicine at the US Air Force Clinic in Los Angeles. It was here that he was directly involved in the healthcare of manned space flight engineers and astronauts.
When Dr. Saini returned to the DC area, he completed his Dermatology residency at Howard University Hospital and then completed his fellowship in Cosmetic Surgery at the Burkes Farber Clinics in Kennar, LA. He became Board Certified by the American Board of Dermatology in 1991 and is a member of the American Academy of Dermatology and, of course, the American Medical Association.
Since 1995, hes been providing care for dermatology problems that his patients have in St. Marys and Anne Arundel Counties. Diagnosing hundreds of melanomas, Dr. Saini realized the need for a Surgery Center. Dr. Saini began the South River Ambulatory Surgery Center in Edgewater in 2003. He went beyond just establising this state of the art center by becoming Joint Commission Accredited. Its here that he works to remove skin cancers and dermatological ailments for patients while maintaining strict regulations set forth by the Joint Commission.
Working within the community, Dr. Saini has been the Corresponding Dermatologist with the Washington Nationals Baseball organization for their annual skin cancer screenings for the players, staff, friends, family, and the fans. While teaching at some of the local universities, Dr. Saini has also participated in many of the community health fairs and events.
Nicole Masson, PA-C
"I love my job because I get to make people look and feel great every day. I am blessed to have amazing patients and a wonderful staff who truly make my job not only enjoyable but also fun!"
Nicole graduated Summa Cum Laude from Virginia Tech with a major in biology and minors in chemistry and psychology. Right after she received her masters in Physician Assistant studies from Chatham University she joined the practice in 2009.
She has been a Presenter at MAPA 2012, where she presented biopsy techniques to her fellow colleagues. Shes also worked alongside Dr. Saini assisting with his role in Corresponding Dermatologist for the Washington Nationals Baseball team. Nicole mentors up and coming Physician Assistants throughout the year. This earned her the vote from her students as "Best Elective Preceptor of the Year" 2012. She also has memberships at AAPA and MAPA Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants.
Not only does she practice clinical dermatology, she is first assistant in surgery to Dr. Saini at our Joint Commission Accredited Ambulatory Surgery Center.
Nicole also has an interest in Cosmetic Dermatology. Working alongside Dr. Saini, Nicole leads the CosmesisMedical Spa where she and our Esthetician provide clients cosmetic services.
Nichole Thomas, PA-C
"Dermatology is a fascinating field, and I was drawn to this specialty because of the variety it offers and the opportunities to establish rewarding relationships with patients among multiple generations. I enjoy being able to offer and perform multiple services for my patients that include all aspects of medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology.
Nichole is a physician assistant board certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants. She grew up in Northern Virginia and graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Biology at Bridgewater College. She then completed her graduate work with specialized training in dermatology at Shenandoah University and received a Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies. During the course of her graduate training, Nichole was recognized as a Dr. James C Laidlaw Scholar and received the Physician Assistant Foundation Scholarship and the PA Outstanding Clinical Performance Award.
She is an active member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA) and the Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants (SDPA). She regularly attends conferences hosted by the American Academy of Dermatology and the American Academy of Physician Assistants to stay well informed on the latest dermatologic treatments and procedures.

4.0 Query Parameterization
Using parameters or parameter markers in queries increases the ability of SQL Server to reuse compiled plans. There are two places where parameterization of queries can be done: on the client side application (or mid tier) or on the server side. 4.1 Client Side Parameterization Client side...

3.0 How Cache Lookups Work
Each cache store is implemented as a hash table. A hash value and cache key pair is used in order to check if the compiled plan is cached for a given query in the cache stores. The hash value of all cache objects is computed as (database_id * object_id) mod (hash table size), and this specifies the hash...

The plan_handle is a hash value derived from the compiled plan of the entire batch...

1.0 Structure of the Plan Cache and Types of Cached Objects
The plan cache is comprised of 4 separate cache stores: Object Plans (CACHESTORE_OBJCP), SQL Plans (CACHESTORE_SQLCP), Bound Trees (CACHESTORE_PHDR), and Extended Stored Procedures (CACHESTORE_XPROC). Each of these four cache stores conform to a uniform caching policy with respect to costing and removal...

XML: Typed and Untyped
Occasionally we hear from people who are surprised to find that their XML data uses more space when typed than when untyped. In general, this is to be expected. Typed XML has some advantages over untyped XML, namely smarter query plans and the ability to constrain user input, but size usually isn't one...

Predicate ordering is not guaranteed
Jun Fang
A typical programmer may expect that the predicates are always evaluated in the order that they are specified, but this is not true in database systems. For example, for the following clause, where col11 = 5 and convert(int, col2) = 100 programmers may think col11 = 5 is always evaluated first...

Weddings & Events
"My husband and I decided on a family elopement wedding in November, found Phineas Swann online and they had the best package for the price. Everything was done online and over the phone, but when we got to the inn, we were taken by Lynne and Darren, the nicest and most genuine people. The inn has the charm of the 1800's, and the trendiness of the 21st century. The wedding itself exceeded our expectations, food, decoration, service. … Breathtaking. Our family had the best time, and we had a wedding to remember." – Katia, December 2014 elopement wedding
"My wife and I contacted the Phineas Swann Bed & Breakfast Inn to host our wedding and we are so glad we did. Not only did we have our ceremony there but we also booked the whole Inn for our dream weekend!" – Matthew, August 2014 wedding
"We decided to travel from Texas to Vermont to get married. While making preparations and calling different inns in the Green Mountain state, the Phineas Swann stuck out as number one in service. Lynne was a great help in planning our special day, our stay and accommodating our needs. Once we arrived we got the grand tour and felt right at home. Lynne and Darren were always able to recommend places to go and things to see for us and our guests (ranging from 2 years to 70 years). Lynne was great on our wedding day when the flowers arrived and were not what I expected. In the midst of my bridal meltdown, she jumped on it and made it right! The Phineas Swann will always be our forever special spot and we hope to visit again!" – Remy, August 2014 wedding
"We came to the Phineas Swann for our daughter's wedding and couldn't have been more pleased. Lynne and Darren both went out of their way to make us feel at home, to assure we were comfortable and had everything we needed, and to make not just the wedding but the entire stay special. Everyone in our party raved over what a wonderful place it is and every single one said they'd love to go back. Which says a lot because the guests were very diverse in age and interest. Lynne was fantastic at grasping what we had in mind for the wedding and putting it all together wonderfully without a lot of input. She's very perceptive and had a great handle on what "fit" all the personalities involved. Both she and Darren were great at giving helpful advice and helping to make decisions for every detail – from the vows to the decorations to music to recommendations on great locales for photos. The inn itself is wonderfully eclectic and warm and welcoming." – Linda, October 2014 wedding
"We travelled from Indianapolis to be married at the Phineas Swann B&B and we relive our incredible experience there as often as we can through video and photos. Lynne and Darren were such wonderful hosts and made us feel so at home. They made sure every detail was taken care of down to making our reservations for dog sledding and our massages. We were truly very sad to have to say goodbye to them to return to Indy but hope to visit their beautiful inn again some day. Congratulations you guys. You have a gem in the Phineas Swann B&B." – Scott, March 2014 elopement wedding
"My wedding at Phineas Swann turned out to be the wedding of my dreams—and I never even visited before I booked. Every detail I imagine and discussed came to life in front of my eyes–and even more. What a beautiful and quaint B&B with excellent service. Owners Lynne and Darren were extremely helpful with every detail of my event and went above and beyond to accommodate my family during our stay — going as far as going to the local VFW to get a wheelchair for my dad. The gardens were a beautiful venue for the ceremony and there we so many beautiful places to take our wedding photos nearby and onsite that we had to narrow down our options to fit within our timeframe.Hands down best wedding venue for an outdoor and fall wedding!" – Shana, October 2013 wedding
"From the second you call or contact them making your arrangements to the time you're packing your things to leave, the staff at Phineas Swann Bed and Breakfast are at your beck and call. We arrived to a perfectly manicured location full of amazing gardens and grounds and freshly made chocolate strawberries made only about 10 minutes before waiting on our bed for us. They made sure that every need that us or our families needed where always at hand and at the ready whether it be restaurant suggestions or directions to get the girls nails done. The breakfasts were the best I've ever had and the fact that its personally made for you and your guests makes it even more amazing." – Garrett, June 2012 wedding
"My youngest daughter was married there and I was a bit apprehensive on the location, but once I got there I was impressed at the decor. It brought back a lot of memories and made quite a few more. I did not know that a place like this existed in Vermont being I am from Montana. The food was fantastic, the staff went above and beyond accommodating the last minute changes. The only regret I have is that I could not spend more time there." – Rand, February 2012 wedding

It's no secret that her lyrics are chock full of drama, and Taylor Swift's hit songs became the script for "The Bold and the Lyrical" on "The Late Late Show" last night (October 6).
While it may seem like it's a long way off, Summer 2016 is going to be extra fresh and jazzy if Will Smith has anything to do with it.
The "Pursuit of Happyness" stud told Zane Lowe's Beats 1 Radio show, "[DJ Jazzy] Jeff and I actually have never done a full tour. I was always on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air or making a movie. I'm looking this summer to be the first time we go out on a full world tour. I'm terrified."
Given how much she's traveled over the years, Jennifer Aniston has come to appreciate the luxuries that come with Emirates Airlines' planes and staff.
And in a new television commercial, the "Friends" actress has a nightmare in which she's trapped on a non-Emirates flight where there's no showers and no bar.
She's the epitome of a strong and beautiful woman, but even Rihanna has dealt with her fair share of insecurity and fear over the years.
The "We Found Love" songstress is featured on the front of the November 2015 issue of Vanity Fair and she explains why she got back together with Chris Brown even after he brutally assaulted her back in 2009.
He's been around the entertainment industry for decades, so Johnny Depp knows how easily young ladies can be chewed up and spit out in the blink of an eye.
The "Pirates of the Caribbean" hunk confessed to Germany's Gala magazine that he's keeping a close eye on his 16-year-old daughter Lily-Rose in hopes of helping her avoid the pitfalls common to the modeling industry.
Things have been going quite well for Nina Dobrev as of late, and on Sunday night (October 4) she decided it was time to go public with her new romance.
The "Vampire Diaries" dame accompanied Austin Stowell to the premiere of his new film "Bridge of Spies" and looked gorgeous as she posed on the red carpet outside Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall.
Their onscreen romance was as captivating as they come, so when Emilia Clarke and Jason Momoa got together for some social media selfies in Paris on Friday (October 2) the chemistry was definitely still present.
He's one of the most eligible bachelors on the planet, so it's no wonder Tim Tebow managed to garner the attention of Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo!
The 28-year-old quarterback is reportedly striking up a romantic relationship with Nick Jonas' ex-girlfriend, though neither of them are talking to the press about their fledgling flame.

My first Jython web app on GlassFish v3
I have been thinking of playing with Jython and GlassFish for quite some time.
I thought of taking the first shot at it. So after looking around a bit I found
out that I can simply use PyServlet to delegate the HTTP requests to my Jython
servlet which can do whatever with the Python script and write it back to the
Servlet output stream. Let us see how I did it:
- Install href="http://download.java.net/javaee5/v3/releases/preview/glassfish-snapshot-v3-preview-26_03_2008.zip">GlassFish v3.
Install Jython . The current
version I got is Jython 2.2.1.
width="581" height="60" />
Create a Python Servlet
Create the servlet layout:
cd c:/dev
mkdir calendar
cd calendar
mkdir WEB-INF
mkdir WEB-INF/lib
Now, create Show.py, which is a Python Servlet and save it at c:/dev/calendar:
from javax.servlet.http import HttpServlet
class Show (HttpServlet):
def doGet(self,request,response):
self.doPost (request,response)
def doPost(self,request,response):
toClient = response.getWriter()
response.setContentType ("text/html")
toClient.println ("
Calendar

No
Create web.xml to serve all the python files by PyServlet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
Copy jython.jar and python libraries to WEB-INF/lib. The Python
libraries are located under Lib directory of Jython installation
directory. You will also find jython.jar under the Jython installation
cd c:/tools/jython
cp jython.jar c:/dev/calendar/WEB-INF/lib
cp -rf Lib c:/dev/calendar/WEB-INF/lib
Deploy the Python web application
Start GlassFish v3
$./glassfish/bin/asadmin deploy calendar
Now access http://localhost:8080/calendar/Show.py, it should show this
src="http://weblogs.java.net/blog/vivekp/archive/images/cal1.png" width="537"
height="327" />
This was simply a jython servlet but there was no Python specific libraries
Invoke Python libraries
We will show Year 2008 calendar using python class calendar.
Let us modify Show.py.
import sys,calendar,time
from javax.servlet.http import HttpServlet
class Show (HttpServlet):
def doGet(self,request,response):
self.doPost (request,response)
def doPost(self,request,response):
toClient = response.getWriter()
response.setContentType ("text/html")
("
Calendar

%s
" %
Notice that the main change made to Show.py is that we invoke
calendar.calendar() and pass it the localtime. Also, there is an import of
calendar and time.
Now, go back to your browser and refresh the page and you would see Year 2008
src="http://weblogs.java.net/blog/vivekp/archive/images/cal2.png" width="630"
height="556" />
This is it! However it involves Jython Servlet and some wiring and could be
lot simpler. Frank plans to work
on simplified and better integrated support for Jython on GlassFish. Stay tuned
there is more to come...

by nocturnal - 2008-11-13 05:01Apparently this is not as straightforward as it looks. Well what i did was this ( my WEB-INF looks like this) -WEB-INF/ Lib jython.jar and now it's working. If you copy all the files from Lib to WEB-INF/lib than it doesn't work and also the project icon in netbeans turns red ( due to errors).
by areplogle - 2008-03-29 10:21using gfv3 and following these instructions, I also get calendar module not found. I installed jython 2.2.1 ----- type Exception report message descriptionThe server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request. exception javax.servlet.ServletException: Traceback (innermost last): File "/Users/areplogle/dev/calendar/Show.py", line 2, in ? ImportError: no module named calendar root cause Traceback (innermost last): File "/Users/areplogle/dev/calendar/Show.py", line 2, in ? ImportError: no module named calendar note The full stack traces of the exception and its root causes are available in the GlassFish/v3 logs. ----------- I then tried copying all of jython/lib to my WEB-INF/lib and restarted. No success. Just curious if anyone may know what I'm doing wrong? Andrew
by vivekp - 2008-04-03 11:33Andrew, The only thing I can think of is maybe you copied the Lib from jythong installation after starting v3. Did you try restarting v3?
by vivekp - 2008-03-28 11:01nocturnal,
I think there are more improvements needed in this area, it would be nice if the PyServlet dynamically loads python libs. With GlassFish v3, if done correctly we can do these things thru Sniffer where such dynamically loaded modules are taken care. For now, if you are using GlassFish v3, you would 'asadmin redeploy calendar' or undeploy and deploy.
by nocturnal - 2008-03-28 08:16After copying jython/Lib dir to WEB-INF/lib it was giving error module calendar not found. The problem got fixed after I restarted my tomcat server. Also check out http://wiki.python.org/jython/JythonMonthly/Articles/October2006/2

Re: TheGodBen Revisits Enterprise
My memory is a bit hazy, but in
Strange New World
, don't they give an explanation why their scans didn't detect the toxin? It would get Archer off the hook, at least, even though he was still way too quick to get down there.
Yes, they said that the psychotropic pollen was contained in the flowers, but it wasn't until the wind blew up that it became dangerous (because then it was inhaled). Novakovich was affected even before the wind came because he had picked a flower and smelled it. He went to bed early with a headache, and then the storm came. Additionally, the pollen had an added toxin that put Novokovich's life in danger, but that could not have been detected by the scans. It would be like someone scanning Earth and registering the existence of ragweed; they'd have no idea what the effect might be on them just from the scan.
Well, this won't be fun, I guess. I actually like
. Sure, it's a bit silly but entertaining. I laughed.
Hey, my German's not so rusty after all! You could also say of this episode, Take it in the spirit it's offered. Yes, you could look at is as a rape episode, but you could also take it as an example of two totally different mindsets at work, and therein lies the comedy. The boy/priest analogy presupposes that this alien culture tracks with human.

BLACK DOG was my favorite book of 2014, and PURE MAGIC is everything I could have hoped for in a sequel. The black dogs of this world are a little darker, a littler more demonic than Urban Fantasy's usual shapeshifters. With sulfur and fire and violence in their hearts, they flow up through the human body, and burst into our world.

Review: Illusionarium by Heather Dixon
When a plague deadly to women sweeps through the aerial empire of Arthurise, doctor's assistant Jonathan Gouden discovers that with the aid of a strange chemical called fantillium, he can create powerful illusions, which is key to finding an antidote. Unfortunately for Jonathan, the woman with the solution won't help unless he agrees to be her champion in a magical arena. Heather Dixon's ILLUSIONARIUM has some charms, but it's centered around a flawed premise, and rushes through young adult tropes as if moving quickly will keep anyone from noticing the predictability. The system of magic which holds the book together makes no sense, and I had a hard time getting past it.
Review: A Thousand Pieces of You (Firebird #1) by Claudia Gray
A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU by Claudia Gray is a charming, romantic adventure across multiple universes, though as with many fantastical stories built on a vague, pseudo-scientific premise, the souffle falls if you poke at it. As long as you're the type of reader who can ignore inconsistencies in the rules of made-up technologies, Marguerite's dance between dimensions in pursuit of revenge, love, and loss should spark your imagination.
Review: Waistcoats & Weaponry (Finishing School #3) by Gail Carriger
If you missed Sophronia Temminick's Finishing School adventures as much as I did, you'll love Gail Carriger's latest trip to Madamoiselle Geraldine's and the lessons in proper spycraft within the pages of WAISTCOATS & WEAPONRY. The wider supernatural world closes in on Sophronia and her friends as the werewolf drama that sets the events of Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series into motion happens while the ladies are learning the art of the bladed fan. With her friend Sidheag personally affected by pack dynamics, Sophronia has no choice but to get involved herself. It's always a delight to go back to school with Carriger, though, like Sophronia's first outing, WAISTCOATS & WEAPONRY feels more like a stepping stone in a larger story than its own novel.
Review: The Last Changeling (Faerie Revolutions #1) by Chelsea Pitcher
THE LAST CHANGELING by Chelsea Pitcher is Ordinary People-meets-Maleficent – and if that sounds like a strange combination, that's because it is. Almost all of the information given in the blurb on the back of the book is actually kept from the reader for more than a hundred pages, and Elora's motives for attending a human high school are extremely vague. Instead of a faerie war, we mostly get Taylor's still-fresh grief over losing his younger brother and the torment of his high school. Elora's 'otherness' (not to mention otherworldly beauty) gives Taylor something to focus on aside from his family's pain, but it's a long time before the reader gets to know her endgame.
Review: Snow Like Ashes (Snow Like Ashes #1) by Sara Raasch
Though the world of SNOW LIKE ASHES by Sara Raasch is a bit uninspired in its construction, Raasch more than makes up for kingdoms named after seasons and capital cities named for misspelled calendar months with Meira and the other refugees of the Kingdom of Winter. An aspiring soldier, desperate to be important to her people and her lost homeland, sixteen-year-old Meira struggles with being kept off the battlefield and forced into a world of political machinations. She's a pawn, she's a symbol, she's a hero – much like THE HUNGER GAMES Katniss, all Meira really knows is that she wants to survive. That, and she's in love with her best friend, the once and future king.
Review: The Winter People by Rebekah L. Purdy
This is one of those times I have to step back from a book that had me chair-dancing in glee and not rate it based on the end-of-book squeeage I felt, but to search for a little objectivity in my review. Reaction alone, this would be a five plus. Plus a few more.
Review: Silver Shadows (Bloodlines #5) by Richelle Mead
If there's one thing you can count on with book series, it's cliffhangers. If you're lucky, it's a trilogy and you only have to deal with one, maybe two. Multi-book series, you get little ones along the way leading up to the Big One in the penultimate book. I knew this going in to SILVER SHADOWS because I remember the similar cliffhanger between books five and six of the Vampire Academy series. I was prepared, I told myself.
Review: The Fire Wish (The Jinni Wars #1) by Amber Lough
In THE FIRE WISH, Amber Lough takes her readers to a magical Baghdad where humans and jinn are at war. Two girls from opposite sides of the conflict find themselves caught in the middle when the human Zayele forces a wish from Najwa the jinni in order to escape an arranged marriage. The novel starts out of the gate strong with wonderful detail and engaging characters in a non-Western setting, but about three-quarters of the way through, the pace shifts as though in a hurry to reach the ending, a haste which is especially odd when the book then comes to an abrupt stop.
Review: Eleanor (The Unseen #1) by Johnny Worthen
Ever since I finished ELEANOR I've been trying to figure out a single word to describe it. I still can't. I was drawn by the ethereal beauty of the cover and then pulled further in by the summary. Then I started reading and spent half the time enjoying the story and the other half trying to figure it out. There's a lot to figure out, too.

The current clinical protocols for liposomal doxorubicin consist of a standard dose every three to four weeks, the authors wrote. No prior knowledge of tumor vessel status, especially leakiness, is taken into account for the dose scheduling. However, it is well known that the degree of tumor vasculature leakiness differs not only among same-type tumors, but even spatially in the same tumor.
"This new information could help personalize the treatment of cancer with liposomal doxorubicin," Annapragada said.
In addition to predicting the outcome of liposomal doxorubicin on breast tumors, liposomes can be used for live monitoring of anti-cancer agents in action. When loaded with both contrast agents and liposomal doxorubicin, the liposomes provide information on tumor leakiness, which can be used in tumor prognostication. A pre-clinical study on multi-functional liposomes by many of the same researchers was published in Biomaterials in December.
Annapragada and the study's other senior author, Ravi V. Bellamkonda, Ph.D., of the Georgia Institute of Technology/Emory University, are involved in a UT Health Science Center at Houston portfolio start-up company called Marval Biosciences that is working to translate these enhanced medical imaging techniques into patient diagnostics.

Mark of the Season Christians Celebrate Beginnings of Lent with Ashes
Hitzeman, Harry, Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, IL)
Byline: Harry Hitzeman Daily Herald Staff Writer
On Wednesday, Christians across the suburbs and the world will begin the holy season of Lent by receiving ashes on their foreheads.
The ashes remind Christians of their sin and help serve as an impetus for people to rededicate themselves to Christ's teachings.
At most churches, the ashes are the end product of blessed branches from the prior year's Palm Sunday, when Jesus entered the town of Jerusalem to a hero's welcome.
The palms are dried, burned and crushed into a powder suitable to be rubbed on a person's forehead in the shape of a cross.
Many Christians make an extra effort to attend Ash Wednesday Mass, and churches must ensure they have enough ashes for the thousands in their congregations.
That's where the Wheaton Religious Gift Shop and Supply Store comes in.
Each year, the Wheaton store sells hundreds of packets of ashes to churches all over the suburbs and the City of Chicago.
Joe Taschetta, co-owner and principal at the Wheaton store, acknowledged the ashes are a "very odd thing to sell," but it helps churches provide a service.
Taschetta said most orders are placed in January or just before Ash Wednesday because church leaders don't want to run out.
"You're going to have crowds of people," he said. "It's hard to judge how many people will come out (for Ash Wednesday Mass)."
The shop is geared toward Catholics, but also sells ashes to Lutherans, Episcopal and Evangelical churches.
The ashes are made by a North Dakota firm, which also burns dried palms. A two-ounce bag for 1,000 people sells for $12.75.
Phil Taschetta, Joe Taschetta's father and senior adviser at the Wheaton shop, said another aspect that drives churches to buy their ashes is time.
"Making your own ashes is a lot of work," he said, noting the ashes must be sifted and ground until it's suitable to place on one's forehead.
"You've got to burn an awful lot of palms to get a little bit of ashes."
At Mass, a priest will rub the ashes in the sign of the cross on a person's forehead, reminding them to reject sin, follow the Gospel and that they eventually shall return to dust after their life on this Earth has ended.
Lent ends with Easter, the holiest of Christian holidays that celebrates Jesus Christ's resurrection following his crucifixion.
The Rev. David Dillon, pastor at St. Matthew Catholic Church in Glendale Heights, said it's important, but not essential for Christians to receive ashes this week.
"The most important thing is that a person make a decision to renew and strengthen their relationship with the Lord," Dillon said.
Ashes as a symbol of sin and repentance dates back to the beginnings of the Christian church.
Extremely sinful parishioners were dressed in sackcloth, an itchy, uncomfortable fabric, while sitting in ashes on the church's steps asking God for forgiveness.
The use of ashes to make the sign of the cross on a person's forehead during a church service dates back to the 11th Century, added Lynn Mikels, minister of education at First United Methodist Church in Arlington Heights.
The church produces its own ashes in a small ceremony each year.
Mikels said the transformation of palms to ashes signifies that Lent is an opportunity to change.
"During Lent, Christians often seek to change their attitudes and behavior to bring them more in line with Christ's teaching," Mikels said. "This is a time of change, and Lent is a season for reflection."
Some churches enlist help from parishioners each year to help make ashes.
The Rev. Bonaventure Okoro, associate pastor at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in St. Charles, said hundreds of churchgoers bring in their old palms the day before Ash Wednesday.
Okoro said it takes about three hours to go from palms to suitable ashes, but it's well worth it. …

Banks Kicked 'When We're Down' in Year of Protests, Batali Gibe
Wall Street used to adore Mario Batali, the Croc-wearing celebrity chef. Bankers crowded his expensive restaurants and dined on Italian dishes built around piglet alla paesana or Sardinian lamb. In November, however, Batali served up something that made bankers gag.
At a Time magazine panel, he compared the financial industry to Stalin and Hitler, decrying how they had "toppled the way money is distributed -- and taken most of it into their hands," Bloomberg Businessweek reports in its Dec. 26 issue.
Batali hastily apologized, but not before outraged Wall Streeters made their displeasure known.
"Thanks for kicking us when we're down, MB," Timothy Chen, a trader at Maxim Group LLC in New York, wrote in a post in the restaurant news section on the Bloomberg terminal.
It's rare to hear such an anguished expression from a Wall Street executive. But then this has been a terrible year for them. Along with being compared to mass murderers by one of their favorite restaurateurs, bankers have had to endure tanking earnings -- in October, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. reported its first quarterly loss since the financial crisis -- layoffs and, for those who remain, the prospect of reduced bonuses.
On top of all that, a ragtag gang of anarchists, socialists, labor activists, students and unemployed people spent much of the fall camping out in the park where brown-bagging back-office types usually take their lunch, complaining that bankers were the root of all the nation's economic ills.
'Four Years Behind'
"The irony is that protesters are concerned about high bank profits," said Mike Mayo, a veteran banking industry analyst and author of "Exile on Wall Street: One Analyst's Fight to Save the Big Banks from Themselves." "But profits haven't been very good this year. The protesters are four years behind. They should've been out there with their signs in 2007."
The recovery in the U.S. has been disappointing for the legions of unemployed people, mortgage holders whose homes are underwater, and banks that build the products that trade on these activities. There's hardly any demand for structured debt.
Before the financial crisis, "there was roughly $1.3 trillion of commercial paper supporting asset-backed bonds," said Richard Bove, a bank analyst at Rochdale Securities LLC. "Now that number is down to $300 billion, which means that there are no asset-backed bonds around that anybody wants to buy."
Initial public offerings have slowed, along with mergers and acquisitions. The industry isn't making much money on loans, either. While banks can borrow cheaply from the government, they can't mark it up much to customers because interest rates are so low. It's almost enough to make you feel sorry for a class of people who, until now, have been fairly pity-resistant.
The problems of the euro zone only add to their woes. The markets rise when European leaders announce another patchwork solution to their sovereign-debt crisis. They fall when the shortcomings become apparent, as they inevitably do. Traders like volatility as long as the overall direction of the market is apparent.
That wasn't the case in the third quarter; the Dow Jones Industrial Average swung violently up and down as panicked investors bought and sold on the headlines. Investment banks trading large blocks of securities on behalf of their clients got mauled. In November, Goldman Sachs reported it lost money trading on 21 days in the third quarter. Morgan Stanley did the same on 31 days.
As a result of all these events, U.S. banks may post a decline in revenue growth for the year of 1 percent.
"That's the lowest since 1938," Mayo said.
BofA Below $5
Hedge funds aren't doing any better. In the third quarter of 2011, their returns fell by 6 percent, wiping out $85 billion, according to Hedge Fund Research. It was the industry's worst quarter since the last four months of 2008, when Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. imploded.
Such dismal performance is usually followed by two things: falling stock prices and layoffs. Bank of America Corp. shares dipped below $5 in December, recalling the dark days of early 2009 when there was talk of bank nationalization. As of mid-December, financial firms worldwide had cut more than 200,000 jobs, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. And it looked as if their human resources departments were just getting warmed up.
"This is something really different," said Huw Jenkins, a former UBS AG investment banking chief who is now a managing partner of Brazil's BTG Pactual in London. "This is a structural change. The industry is shrinking."
There's more retrenchment on the way. For all the banking industry's lobbying efforts, the reforms passed last year as part of the Dodd-Frank Act are slowly being enacted. Banks are closing their proprietary-trading desks to comply with the Volcker rule, which allows them to execute trades for clients and forbids them from doing so using their own balance sheets.
This has had dire consequences for Goldman Sachs. It relied on trading for more than 62 percent of its revenue, as of early November. The government and the industry are still squabbling over the definition of proprietary trading. But this much is inevitable: Wall Street's most powerful firm will have federal regulators scrutinizing its trades to determine whether they comply with the new rule. Morgan Stanley is in a similarly awkward position.
"I don't see how they can survive," said Peter J. Solomon, chairman of Peter J. Solomon Co., an independent investment bank in New York. "They'll survive. But they'll be smaller, and they are going to be highly controlled."
Subprime Boom
Wall Street can no longer afford to blithely take risks as it once did, not when some of the largest banks are trying to resolve suits filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission and angry investors are accusing them of stuffing mortgage-backed securities with bad loans during the subprime boom.
They are also in talks with numerous state attorneys general about their use of "robo-signing" mortgage processors to feed their collateralized-debt-obligation factories.
"The industry has to rethink the way it does business," Bove said. "That means it's going to fire more people. It's going to change internal rules and regulations because nobody wants to get sued again."
It doesn't sound like fun. No wonder the happiest bankers aren't the ones on Wall Street but those at smaller regional operations that offer their depositors old-fashioned checking accounts and loans.
"We have a Bank of America across the street," said David Provost, chief executive officer of Talmer Bank & Trust in Troy, Michigan. "They are our greatest source of new depositors."

Today in the United States, turquoise jewelry is still being made by Zuni, Navajo, Hopi, and Santo Domingo as well as other tribes in the Southwest. The mineral deposit, turquoise, is considered to be the stone of life and good fortune. Itâs also revered as a symbol of wealth by our Native American Indians and other cultures of the world. Native American Indian jewelry is created with turquoise set in silver or gold, beaded, set as cabochons, cut into finer pieces, carved into fetishes, hand-inlaid into the piece, or strung to make a Turquoise Nugget Necklace.
The various color forms of turquoise are attributed to the metals in the ground that surround it. Blue turquoise suggests the presence of copper and green turquoise forms where iron is present. The mother rock or host rock is matrix. It can be made from several different elements such as quartz, chert, pyrite, cuperite, and manganese oxide. Spider web turquoise is made up of small nuggets that are naturally cemented together with matrix or rock, and when the stone is cut and polished it resembles a spider web. Different turquoise mines produce varying colors and matrixes for a Turquoise Nugget Necklace.
It has been said that turquoise is the most valuable, non-transparent mineral in the jewelry trade, and has been mined since sometime around 6000 B.C. by early Egyptians. Beautiful ornamental creations have been made by Persian and Native American artisans. Recently, turquoise jewelry has regained its popularity. Experts in the field of gems and minerals believe the finest turquoise comes from Iran; however, this statement has been challenged by some southwestern United States specimens. The word âturquoiseâ? comes from a French word which means âstone of Turkeyâ? and is the route that Persian material took on its way through Europe.

The first family of funk. Ian Neville. Ivan Neville. Big Daddy Aaron Neville.
Doesn't impress Nikki Glaspie. She's shared the stage with them for three years now in Dumpstaphunk, and she's drummed for Beyonce, Jay-Z and Kanye West. Meeting Stevie Wonder, though? That was different.
"I don't get starstruck but, gosh, it's Stevie Wonder," she said via Skype the other day, the snow-covered mountains of Idaho filling the screen behind her. "I was nervous meeting him." ...

Flannel Friday
Brandi Klassen of Marshfield holds her son Blake, 1, as he greets "Doc" between wagon rides in downtown Montpelier during Flannel Friday festivities in the Capital City.
The day after Thanksgiving is the traditional start to the holiday shopping season and a day many spend at the mall or big-box stores. In an effort to persuade shoppers to spend their money closer to home, merchants in downtown Montpelier have developed a local alternative to Black Friday and dubbed it Flannel Friday. Shoppers wearing the classic Vermont attire were treated to sale prices and specials at many stores. Above, Brandi Klassen, of Marshfield, holds her son Blake, 1, as he greets Doc between free wagon rides. Left, employees and customers, many clad in flannel, watch as Myra O'Neill, of Somerville, Mass., spins the Wheel of Deals at Onion River Sports. Below, Skip, the Vermont Mountaineers' mascot, sports his flannel shirt while crossing the street Friday in Montpelier. Barre merchants get into the act today with a downtown open house and a full day of festivities and shopping.MORE IN Central Vermont
