Book synopsis
Senshu University has hosted many international conferences on medieval English literature – primarily on Geoffrey Chaucer and William Langland – as well as in the related fields of Old Germanic, medieval French and Renaissance Italian literature. These international collaborations inform and contribute to the present volume, which addresses the heritage bequeathed to medieval English language and literature by the classical world.
This volume explores the development of medieval English literature in light of contact with Germanic and Old Norse cultures, on the one hand, and Romance languages, on the other. The book includes a comparative study of Beowulf in the Germanic context, discusses aspects of Piers Plowman and its tradition, and offers philological approaches to Chaucer (especially his Troilus and Criseyde). The articles assembled here collectively suggest how the torches of classical learning were carried from continental Europe to illuminate the pages of medieval English literature.

PHILADELPHIA -- A survey by Security Magazine has ranked the University of Pennsylvania No. 1 for safety in the educational market. Penn was ranked sixth out of 500 businesses and organization recognized for being proactive in improving security.
"Based on the size of the Penn campus, having more than 50,000 students, employees and patients in the area daily, and being located within a major urban center, Penn has invested significantly in security and as a result finds itself atop the education market," Security Magazine Publisher Mark McCourt said.
Penn's 116-member police department is the largest private police department in Pennsylvania. All officers are full-time sworn municipal police officers.
"It's a great honor to be recognized for Penn's efforts to keep the campus and surrounding area safe for our students, faculty, staff and visitors," Maureen Rush, Penn vice president for public safety, said. "Our wide range of security resources, the walking escort program, the new UPennAlert emergency notification system, educational and informational programs and Penn's strong relationship with the West Philadelphia community and the City of Philadelphia help make the area safer."
Penn has state-of-the-art electronic security systems across campus, including 83 outdoor pan-tilt-zoom closed-circuit television cameras, more than 500 stationary cameras and more than 200 emergency phones on and around campus.

A Whole New Mind
In the lone comment to last Friday's post, Nick Gill suggests that what we've been talking about lately is a good summation of the instruction we find in Romans 12:1-2. Nick's paraphrase comes to this: "BE transformed by the renewal of your mind," not "Transform yourself by thinking better thoughts."
The actual verses read like this: "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is true worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Now, looking at this paragraph — especially if we look at it in its context — we can see some interesting thoughts. The first thing to note is that it is "in view of God's mercy", not God's judgment, not God's disappointment, not God's potentially destructive power. It is God's mercy that motivates this kind of change.
The second thing to note is that the author is moving into the more practical application section of this letter, and he's interested in helping us understand how we can best be used by God in advancing his cause in this world.
We find two alternatives set before us. The first is to be conformed to the standards, values and goals of this world. The other alternative is to "be transformed by the renewing of your mind" — especially with an eye towards learning to discern the will of God.
The assumption seems to be that it is possible to have your mind renewed, and this whole new mind will radically alter your behavior.
What kind of behavior might be a result of having a whole new mind like this? And how do you think churches could help people move from having been conformed to the mindset of this world to being transformed with a renewed mind?

Review: Beauty Is A Dangerous Obsession In HELTER SKELTER
Director Ninagawa Mika's sophomore effort offers a strangely nightmarish, bitterly expressive insight into the controversial world of fashion, which plays like a visionary social critique of the modern world's obsession with beauty and the consequences that follow. Ridiculous as it may sound at first, Helter Skelter is a horror-esque tale not for the squeamish that uses luscious, almost sugary imagery and an impressive palette (red being the omnipresent colour) as a camouflage for its many horrifying, yet completely earthly observations. Ninagawa creates a universe that's secluded and distorted, filled with characters that not only act as brainless caricatures, but also behave in such a way that's incomprehensibly appalling. Yet, it's surprisingly easy to watch them in their own environment and observe the way they destroy their own superfluous selves, one step at a time.
Lilico (Sawajiri Erika) is a Japanese beauty goddess, a dream girl, a role model and a perfect woman. Every teenager wants to be her and every man wants to possess her (and many do seeing that Erika's sense of morality is nowhere to be found). Her rise to stardom wouldn't be possible without numerous plastic surgeries supported by the corrupt and emotionless mother (Momoi Kaori). Her 'it-girl' public image is unblemished, but the further the plot interferes with the main character's private life the sooner the viewer gets to know the truth about this truly shallow and tragically confused woman. Without Hata (Terajima Shinobu), who acts as Lilico's manager, private assistant, one-time sex toy, and, most importantly, as her common sense, she wouldn't make it big in the harsh and perverted fashion industry.
Lilico's already tremendous anxieties are exacerbated by marks - side effects of the surgeries - that show up on her skin, the arrival of a new teen sensation (actual Japanese model-idol Mizuhara Kiko) who slowly reaches for the beauty queen's crown, and her heightening self-hatred that so impeccably shows how even a person who looks perfect on the outside can feel small and so unwanted on the inside. In a matter of days Lilico realizes that the life of a superstar she loved to hate is long gone, and there's nothing that could fill the frightening void. Comparing them to the lifestyle of the real-life 'rich and famous' Lilico's regular bouts of doing drugs and having sex with multiple partners seem strangely familiar.
Her own obsession with perfection merges in the storyline with the same obsession of a so-called everyman. This everyman is represented here by a group of teenage girls whose daily routine is based on chatting and checking cell phones for news about their favorite celebrities. When one star burns out it's ridiculously easy to replace her with a new one. Helter Skelter in a most graphic way, through all its deviations and nasty little crimes, searches for transience that nowadays indicates the way we perceive the reality that surrounds us. It's a scary thought, but how many scandals have we heard of in the last year and how many have we already forgotten?
Helter Skelter, while a bit overlong and sometimes too repetitive when presenting Lilico's deteriorating condition as a victim of her own addiction to perfection, is slowly building up to a point with no return, meaning that it shows how the main character, reaping the harvest of her own preposterous decisions, is bound for disaster. That's what unavoidably makes the film a predictable piece, but nevertheless a really enjoyable and good-looking one, where aesthetic pleasure (a showcase of Ninagawa's attachment to visual experiences as a photographer) is as important as the message conveyed by the compelling, if not too grotesque, storyline.

Alternative milk products are becoming more and more popular. Many people look to non-dairy options mainly due to lactose intolerance or because of the tremendous health benefits they have to offer. And although there are a number of cow milk alternatives out there, we believe that almond milk should stand out the most. Almond milk is an excellent alternative option to cow's milk—whether you're lactose intolerant or not!!
Almond milk in a nutshell
Almond milk is the product of a simple combination of almonds and water. Almonds are among the healthiest nuts in the world and their nutritional value can be extracted by grinding them up and using them for milk.
Almond milk also has a longer shelf life than that its dairy counterparts. The proteins contained by almonds differ from what you find in cow's milk and allow for a much longer consumable time period.
Even better news—almond milk is gluten free! Plus, we think that almond milk tastes even better than another popular non-dairy option, soy milk.
Delicious and nutritious
Almond milk is getting a lot of hype these days, and for good reason. Sure, it's an excellent alternative to milk for those who are lactose intolerant or just plain hate the taste of dairy. The truth is, though, that almond milk has many merits that make it a product that you should include in your daily diet anyway!!
One of almond milk's attractions is the fact that it's overflowing with vitamins and minerals. One serving of almond milk can supply your body with a tremendous amount of the nutrients you need such as vitamin E, manganese, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, selenium, iron, fiber, zinc and calcium.
A lot of these vitamins and minerals help maintain bone strength. Calcium fortifies your bones while vitamin E allows the calcium to be absorbed. Manganese plays an active role in activating enzymes throughout the body and, coupled with phosphorous, helps reinforce bones and teeth.
Almond milk's nutrients aid the body beyond the bones as well. Its supply of selenium is good for the functioning of the immune system and for the metabolism of the thyroid gland. The magnesium helps break down the food you consume and convert into energy. Potassium, on the other hand, helps maintain normal blood pressure. The large amounts of antioxidants found in almonds make almond milk an excellent preventer of various cancers and heart diseases, too!
There's always a catch, or is there?
One of the major tragedies of this world is that almost everything that tastes good or has a high vitamin and mineral content also makes you fat. Cow milk serves as a good example of one of these products. Even when you remove the fat from cow's milk, it still carries a large amount of sugar, calories and carbohydrates.
Lucky for us, almond milk stands out as an exception to this unfortunate circumstance. It contains absolutely no sugar, yet it still has a delicious taste. Also, with only 3 grams per 8 ounce serving, almond milk contains very little fat. While cow milk contains 5 grams of saturated fat and is high in cholesterol, almond milk contains neither of these hindrances to your personal health and fitness. So drink up!!!
One of almond milk's major attractions is its calorie count. You only find 40 calories per 8 ounce serving, which stands in stark contrast to the 146 grams you consume with the same serving of cow milk. Besides the enormous amount of vitamins and minerals contained by almond milk, those measly 40 calories are also accompanied by 1 gram of protein and 1 gram of fiber.
As you can see, almond milk has some serious perks. While it doesn't contain as much protein as cow's milk, the incredible amount of vitamins and minerals it provides comes at no cost. You don't have to worry about excessive fat, calories, or carbs. Almond milk is one of those rare products that can nourish your body without the weight gain.
So the next time you're browsing the dairy aisle, we challenge you to skip over the regular milk and maybe even walk past the soy milk section. Give almond milk a try—your bones and waistline will thank you!!

If I could paint I would have a lot of fun. My work would be everywhere. Every type of shop would be my gallery! Iff I could paint horses my paintings would be in a saddlery or feedstore. If I did landscapes and flowers I would have my work on entry doors and sold at the local building supply yard. Why aren't shovel handles pretty? What a perfect canvas for a vine and I would sell them at the local hardware store! Coffee shops for my quiet stuff and the loud, colorful and crazy would go to the nightclubs on Main Street! Oh, there are walls everywhere and I would have no fear of asking! My dentist could use two and my Doctor three and I could change them out every couple months. I would like to paint children's furniture and I would have samples of my work whereever furniture is sold. I wouldn't imit myself to canvas unless, of course, it could be used as pillow covers or bar stools. Why do artists who can paint think only of an 8" X 10" on the wall? I would paint everywhere and on anything...on mirrors! that would be great and the local glass shop would become "my gallery". Painting a table top would be fun and now the furniture store would represent me! Paper or plastic? My work would be on canvas bags to reuse and use again. I bet the artists on this site could add to this list of unusual things to paint on and strange ways to sell. I don't paint, except for the occasional house, but my iron work is in strange places and by now I am known all over town.
But maybe you has a camera, and everything don'y need to be painted, all you has to do is fo look for it, or reconise something while you work your day, --- yes all of that is allready here, in painting as as simple a thing, as printed canvas, -- guess the first issue you would plan 20 years ago, gee havn't this costed me some printers trying out some idea on non suported types of sheets paper. What I find wiser, for someone that do not paint is to look for the lazyest tools, among what is presant and there will be plenty oppotunity. But in the end it end up with architecture not arts. Becaurse what is more important than the houses, where you want your pieces on the walls, the right painting in the right place can change a lot, even level the values at choice by a dream, quality and quantity is with digital manufactoing at the top of develobment ; I guess your wishes to express the pictures you describe "if you could paint" are all met with what you can manufactor of new things, paintings of the various things you describe, can be made by sq.mm. and you need no skills to paint a picture, you just press the button and a foto can be wallpaper if that is what you want to produce, ---- but the real issue here is architecture, how we will continue putting two things together, or one could emagine, a building core calculated by a computer, and becaurse of that so much stronger, easier to manufactor, assemble and finish.
Per Corell
interesting marketing strategies....there is pros and cons to it though...the reason why artists work on canvas is cuz they want to present thier image in a pure way, like a window into thier soul....alot of artists dont consider selling thier work while they paint too...if u leaned to paint u would find its a highly personal process and very time consuming and not really worth giving up an original work every time someone wants to buy a shovel or whater its on....but printing is a good option
HI Jerry, I like your ideas....in fact I'm positively inspired :) I've been thinking along those lines. Both my sister and myself are sick of our jobs...looking for any and every week to turn over some $$. I'm not exactly making a killing at what I do, so It seems reasonable to think that by using and every and all ideas we can create a unique business.
Thanks for the inspiration Jerry!

Maintaining Your Eligibility for TRICARE
It's Your Responsibility
Proper registration in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) is the key to receiving timely and effective TRICARE benefits. DEERS is a worldwide, computerized database of uniformed services members (sponors), their family members, and others who are eligible for military benefits, inlcuding TRICARE. All sponsors (active duty, retired, National Guard, or Reserve) are automatically registered in DEERS. However, the sponsor must register eligible family members. After family members and sponsors are registered , they can update personal information such as addresses and phone numbers. Note: If both parents are active duty service members, then either parent (must choose one) may be listed as the child(ren)'s sponsor in DEERS.
When There's a Change
You should update DEERS immediately whenever you experience any of the following life events (this list is not all-inclusive):
Updating DEERS
To register family member or update DEERS records, sponsors must complete a DD Form 1172 Application for Uniformed Services Identification Card and DEERS Enrollment and provide documentation, such as marriage, birth, or death certificates; Social Security numbers; active duty separation papers; Medicare cards. Each family member's eligibility record must be updated separately. Note: If the sponsor is not available, family members can update DEERS with a notarized DD Form 1172 or if you have Power of Attorney. You can verify and update DEERS in one of the following ways:
Mail changes to the DSO. You must also mail supporting documentation if you are adding or deleting a family member:
Loss of Eligibility
If you try to obtain care and your DEERS record shows you as ineligible for TRICARE (but you have not truly lost TRICARE eligibility), you'll need to update your DEERS information. For more information about Loss of Eligibility, visit www.tricare.mil/certificate.

Eric Gordon 2012-2013 Season Outlook
Posted 01 October 2012 - 01:44 PM
Per RW front page:
Eric Gordon will be limited in training camp due to "right knee soreness.
Uh oh. It's hard to say whether Gordon has suffered a setback, or if his right knee is going to be a chronic problem, or if the Hornets are just going to be careful with him until the regular season starts, but regardless of what the exact problem is, this is a huge red flag on Gordon for the upcoming season. It's hard to believe the Hornets would have matched Phoenix's four-year offer if his knee didn't check out well with team doctors, so we'll just have to wait as more details are sure to emerge in the near future. But if you have a fantasy hoops draft coming up in the next week or so, it might be wise to let someone else deal with Gordon and his knee again this season. He made it through just nine games last year. Austin Rivers might end up getting the starting SG job if Gordon's knee continues to be a problem.

Yeah, it's depressing. He pretty much has full reign on offense this year with that pathetic backcourt. Looking like Brandon Roy....yet Roy actually played and stuff. Xavier Henry could take his job. Henry may have to play more 2 then they envisioned.

Henry's actually a very capable defender from what I've seen. Offensively, his stats don't look so good, but Monty Williams likes to emphasize defense so it might not be too bad.

"The team is taking a cautious approach with Eric to give him the best chance to be ready for the season," General Manager Dell Demps said.
Posted 08 October 2012 - 04:55 PM
Eric Gordon, who was shut down by the Hornets for all contact work during the first week of training camp, is not expected to do much in the upcoming week, either as he continues to have trouble with his surgically repaired right knee.
The Hornets play three exhibition games in four days this week, beginning Tuesday, and at this point you have to wonder if Gordon will play in a single preseason game. Gordon is dropping quickly on our cheat sheets and things couldn't be looking much worse after the Hornets matched a big offer from the Suns, despite the fact he played in just nine games last season. The Hornets are "erring on the side of caution," but Gordon's knee looks like it could be an issue (again) for most of the season.

EG is one lazy dude. At least Curry tries his best to get back on the floor. Gordon got his contract, he is gonna sit back and get fat now. What a total disgusting waste of talent.
Posted 08 October 2012 - 06:35 PM
So where would you draft him now. He was going in the 30's or 40's before. Is he in the 80's now? if so, I actually thinks that's reasonable value.
Posted 08 October 2012 - 06:54 PM
He is really no different than guys like Stephen Curry, Brandon Roy, and Greg Oden. Guys who live their dream to play professional sports only to see injuries greatly impact their career. He is young enough he might be able to get past this and still have a productive career. But, it is unlikely his career will end up as bright as expected. Never say never, though. Look at Grant Hill.
Meanwhile, his stock in fantasy drops greatly. I don't think I could draft him any higher than 8th or 9th round in a 12 team league and even then I would feel like I was taking a big risk.
He is a really good person and very active with youth in the Indianapolis area. I hope he can get healthy and get his career back on track.

the hornets should have let him go to phoenix. serves them right.
I have no clue how good/bad the Hornets' medical staff is, but it really seems like Eric Gordon is someone who could have benefited greatly from the Suns' medical staff.

does anyone know where Universal Airlines based it's Cabin Crew for the DC-8 services in the 1960s? I've not been able to find any information about any of them, not even uniforms?

I can tell you that they did have a substatial Vietnam War operation during this period. Growing up back in Philly, their DC-8's were always at PHL and McGuire AFB operating MAC charters heading overseas to Europe. I would assume that the same thing went on from both Oakland and Travis from the west coast doing the transpacs. I would also assume that crews were more than likely based in these areas to serve these flights.

Liberal studies alumna Cheryl Butler Brandreth '10 placed first in the 2013 Literary LEO short fiction contest for her piece, The Tender Reed. Brandreth graduated from Spalding's Adult Accelerated Program (AAP) with a degree in interdisciplinary humanities and now studies creative nonfiction in the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Writing program.
"[This award] affirms me and the MFA in Writing program," Brandreth says. "Spalding has nurtured me through this process by giving me the opportunity to work one-on-one with a [faculty] mentor. When I write it's as if I can hear the advice of my past mentors ringing in my head. Winning Literary LEO has been a dream of mine for a long time and finding Spalding has made my dream come true."
Brandreth learned of Spalding's brief-residency MFA program from a friend at church, which prompted her to obtain her bachelor's degree as an adult. She credits Spalding's supportive faculty and an overall positive experience to setting her on the path to her ultimate goal: a master's degree in creative writing.
"I have such a fondness for the faculty and staff," says Brandreth. "They have ultimately made my Spalding experience rewarding. Each faculty member is not only well-qualified and knowledgeable, but genuinely interested in making sure students learn. The staff has always been helpful, from the AAP office to the liberal studies department to financial aid and the MFA office."

Take a deep breath, and think about California's football season in 2013:
The Bears were last in the Pac-12 in scoring offense and last in scoring defense. They were last in total defense, yards per play allowed (7.1, with the next-worst at 6.1), pass defense, opponent first downs, pass-efficiency defense and opponent third-down conversions. They were last in pass efficiency, red-zone offense, punt-return average (with only 39 total yards) and turnover margin.
Other than that, Cal had a thoroughly satisfying first season under first-year coach Sonny Dykes.
"We were so bad last year," Dykes says a year later, "the improvement is going to be pretty obvious."
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
- Walkoff magic! Leonys Martin's dramatic homer in ninth lifts Mariners
Most Read Stories
Internally, the Bears say they've long since moved on. But their year was so much the train-wreck variety it's natural for outsiders to wonder if there's lingering psychic damage, and how vast the rebuilding process might be.
"I can't stress enough how happy we are to have last year in the past, how much we've grown," says quarterback Jared Goff. "It's a different team. It's not even remotely close to the same team as last year."
Describing the off-season, Dykes says, "I don't know that we necessarily blew anything up. Just a lot of screwdriver adjustments."
That's not entirely true. Dykes reassigned defensive coordinator Andy Buh, who had been hired to a three-year, $500,000-a-season deal, and put Art Kaufman in his place. Kaufman is a veteran of mostly Southern stops who makes Cal his seventh job in the last decade.
The Bears were the Pac-12 team most battered by injuries last year, so much that they started nine freshmen, true and redshirt, in their finale against Stanford.
"A lot of them were just freak injuries, freak accidents," says defensive back Stefan McClure. "But it is kind of crazy to see that many injuries and how it devastates a team and puts a lot of stress on other people.
"Guys had to play more special teams, and guys who weren't physically ready had to get out there and play. It'll be great to see what we can do with a healthy team."
Says Dykes, "It was tough to put out 11 healthy bodies that knew how to line up at times. We're just so much better now because we do have depth."
But it's been tested already. Nathan Broussard, projected to start at middle linebacker, is out for the year with a fall-camp knee injury, and another possible starter, Maximo Espitia, has been suspended for the season. Devante Downs, a freshman from Mountlake Terrace, is expected to play.
Cal will benefit from the return of end Brennan Scarlett of Portland, who might be the team's best defender. He missed last year with a hand injury.
Goff, who threw for 292 yards a game, gives the Bears an offensive centerpiece, and there are quality wideouts in Chris Harper, Bryce Treggs and Kenny Lawler. But the Bears must run better; 148 designed runs in 2013 went for two yards or less.
However pitable Cal might appear, the Bears last year riled their 2014 opening opponent, Northwestern, when Dykes accused the Wildcats of feigning injuries to slow his offense last year.
"I look forward to shaking that coach's hand after we beat 'em," Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald told a booster group in the off-season.
Asked about it, Dykes took the high road. You could say he's not dealing from a position of strength. The Bears enter 2014 with a 10-game losing streak, 14 to Pac-12 teams, and 16 to FBS opponents.
"We feel we're in a really good spot," Dykes insists. "Especially in the off-season, the level of commitment, reliance and trust in each other, the teamwork. All those are important elements we really didn't have last year.
"We'll be bigger, stronger and faster. We'll be a different-looking football team."
It's not unfair to say the Bears almost have to be.

A Blizzard of Bids at Equal Justice Foundation Auction
A February blizzard that left unprepared weather forecasters speechless did not hamper the festivities of the annual Equal Justice Foundation Auction at the Law School. More than anything, the snow helped transform Silverman Hall into a storm shelter and its inhabitants into revelers. This year the Silent Auction items were also listed on the Internet at www.webcharity.com so bidders could shop and bid on select items in advance, during and after the auction. In total, $41,000 was raised for students to pursue jobs in public interest law during the summers between law school. Next year's event is scheduled to take place at the Law School on Thursday, February 21, 2002.
The occasion honored 80 Penn Law students who have gone above and beyond the mandatory 70 hours of public service to the community. The Fifth Annual Public Service/Public Interest Awards Ceremony in April honored students who worked two summers in public interest jobs; performed over 80 hours of public service; coordinated a special public service event; or acted as a manager or served as a board member of a student service project, such as Christmas in April, during which students rehabilitated a house in West Philadelphia. The Henry Meacham Public Service Award, awarded by fellow students, was presented to Chandra Bhatnagar 2L. Bhatnagar spent two summers performing public service at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund in New York, and for the Bonded Labor Liberation Front in New Delhi, India. He is president of the United Law Students of Color Council.
The Fourth Annual Symposium of the Journal of Constitutional Law examined "Equal Protection After the Rational Basis Era: Is it Time to Reassess the Current Standards of Review?" The symposium, co-sponsored by the Penn Center on Professionalism and the National Constitution Center, explored the standards of review employed in Equal Protection cases. Taking into account recent modifications to a once clear-cut structure for judicial review, the Symposium examined the goals and principles behind constitutional standards of review and discussed the continuing viability and desirability of the existing framework. This academic year the Con Law Symposium, "Native American Law and the Constitution," will take place on February 1-2, 2002.

By TERENCE OH
A race against time, with the clock going backwards!
IT is a common cliche: saying that someone does something so well, he could do it backwards.
In his latest novel, The October List, however, American author Jeffrey Deaver does just that. His tightly plotted thriller begins with the climax in its final chapter, and moves in reverse to where things began.
A striking way of telling a story, to be sure. But what is most striking about Deaver's novel is that he actually pulls it off!
Deaver's name will probably be familiar to thriller fans: he is, after all, the creator of beloved detectives Lincoln Rhyme and Kathryn Dance. His works include The Devil's Teardrop, The Broken Window and Carte Blanche, as well as The Bone Collector, which was made into a film in 1999 starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie.
Deaver has been awarded the Steel Dagger and Short Story Dagger from the British Crime Writers' Association as well as the Nero Wolfe Award, and he is a three-time recipient of the Ellery Queen Reader's Award for Best Short Story of the Year.
The October List tells the tale of Gabriela, a single mother whose daughter has been kidnapped. Her kidnappers, led by the sinister Joseph, demand she pay them half a million dollars as well as find a mysterious document known as the "October List". On her side, however, is the dashing Daniel Reardon, a rough-and-ready action hero type who will do all he can to help.
The novel opens with Gabriela and Daniel facing the kidnappers with a gun, and moves backwards to the trigger point of these events. Twists and turns are aplenty: literally everybody in this story is not what they seem, with all of them possessing secrets of their own.
The October List's unusual format will no doubt draw comparisons to other stories with fractured timelines, such as Christopher Nolan's movie, Memento, or Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. In his Foreword, however, Deaver reveals that the main inspiration for his book was, surprisingly, a Broadway musical: Stephen Sondheim's Merrily We Go Along, which also moves in reverse.
Let us address the elephant in the room: the novel's unusual format is very frustrating in the start. Having to constantly remind yourself that Chapter 2 happens BEFORE Chapter 1 can be quite a chore, and may cause readers with poor concentration to give up entirely.
Once you are accustomed to reverse gear, however, Deaver's novel makes for a refreshing and satisfying read. The October List is very well-plotted, and would probably be a decent tale even without its unique format. The story's characters are interesting: while many of them seem like stock characters in the beginning, it quickly becomes clear that this is not the case.
Deaver uses backward storytelling very effectively, even managing to create humour with it. Throughout the entire book, people refer to Reardon as looking like "that actor": however, it is not until Chapter 1 that we discover who it is!
This unusual style, however, is not without its flaws. For example, a lot of exposition is used to keep the reader updated, which can feel tiresome at times. Backwards storytelling also means it is difficult for The October List to build momentum: instead, Deaver builds suspense by throwing his readers headlong into the plot, and letting them discover things by themselves. One chapter has a mild mannered character recall an act of killing: what exactly happened? Another chapter has Gabriela and Reardon finding the October List. But how did they get there?
Characters are interesting, although it is difficult to really feel connected to them. Kepler and Surani, the two incompetent detectives attached to the case, are fun to read about, but the most fascinating character by a long shot is the mysterious Joseph, who seems capable of doing anything to achieve his goals.
Things are also wrapped together a bit too nicely at the end (or should we say the beginning?) as all plot threads are resolved in a long expository conversation by the main characters. A little more ambiguity would have been nice: The October List goes so out of its way to explain everyone's fate that it can feel a little contrived.
Those minor nit picks aside, however, you will probably be very entertained by Deaver's latest novel. Deaver is called "the master of the plot twist" for good reason: some of The October List's shock developments will definitely keep you on tenterhooks.
Overall, The October List feels like a bit of a gimmick; to its credit, though, it is a very well-executed one. A gripping read, once you get used to the unusual format.

Port Arthur Pain Management Clinic Manager Sentenced
|U.S. Attorney's Office December 21, 2009
BEAUMONT, TX—U.S. Attorney John M. Bales announced today that a 37-year-old Houston man has been sentenced to federal prison for a health care fraud scheme in the Eastern District of Texas.
ASHLEY COLIN WALKES pleaded guilty on June 3, 2009, to Misprision of Health Care Fraud and was sentenced to 36 months in federal prison today by U.S. District Judge Marcia Crone. Walkes was also ordered to pay restitution of $4,315,280.21 to Medicaid, $514,390.24 to Medicare and $70,585.55 to Blue Cross Blue Shield, for a total of $4,900,256.00 in restitution. Walkes was also ordered to forfeit three bank accounts valued at about $500,000.00.
According to information presented in court, Walkes was the manager of 4500 Gulfway Medical Management, also referred to as Medic Management, which operated primarily as a pain management clinic in Port Arthur and was effectively closed by the initiation of the investigation. Under Walkes' direction, the clinic saw up to 100 patients a day, most receiving Hydrocodone, Soma, and Xanax for pain management. Walkes, who had no medical training, ordered Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance patients to attend physical therapy sessions in order to receive their prescription refills. However, cash patients were not required to attend those sessions. These sessions were then billed as if a physician had performed them, but, as Walkes was aware, they were actually performed by untrained, unlicensed, unsupervised personnel. Further, Medicaid, Medicare, and BCBS were billed for multiple physical therapy sessions each time the patient attended.
In a separate scheme, Walkes directed Medicaid and Medicare to be billed for thousands of physician office visits at a code indicating the patient spent 25 minutes with the physician, when the physician actually spent five minutes or less with each patient.
Walkes, who only worked three days a week, paid himself over $4 million in cash and personal expenditures.
This case was investigated by the Texas Attorney General's Office, Medicaid Fraud Control Unit and the Federal Bureau of Investigation and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Tortorice and Assistant U.S. Attorney Bob Rawls.

Add the following to the long list of items that took a beating when Hurricane Sandy blasted by a dock that was refashioned in the twisting, turning shape of a water slide; a sea wall that started to pull away from the shoreline; and a fence that took on a gaptoothed look when long sections were extracted.
Do not add the figure in the green dress that towers 305 feet over all that. The Statue of Liberty is fine, said David Luchsinger, superintendent of the Statue of Liberty National Monument and probably the last full-time resident of Liberty Island.
It was pretty much demolished, Luchsinger said during an island tour Friday.
By contrast, about 75 percent of Liberty Islands 12 acres was underwater during the storm. Luchsinger said water swirled toward the star-shaped early-19th-century fort that serves as the statues base. It got close to the base, he said, but it didnt make the base.
Still, the information building and an administration building were flooded, as was the building that housed transformers for the islands electrical system. Its backup generator was also ruined.
The statue, designed to sway in the wind, was unharmed. The National Park Service says it can move three inches in 50 mile per hour winds. The highest wind recorded during Hurricane Sandy was 94 mph.

"Today's THV at Noon" will return Sept. 10 with Stefanie Bryant joining Tom Brannon at the anchor desk. Bryant is a veteran THV reporter, eager to deliver Arkansans THV's up to the minute news during the noon hour.
The newscast will be expanded to a full half hour as Positively Arkansas moves to the new time period of 9:30 in the morning.
Brannon is best known as the meteorologist on Today's THV This Morning, but also for his "anything goes" style and personality. He promises to bring the same lively approach to "Today's THV at Noon."
Bryant is excited to be teamed up with Brannon and says the noontime opportunity to meet with viewers is a good one.
"We will work hard to bring a local focus on everything that is timely and important to our THV friends watching at noon," said Bryant. "We will look for their feedback as we develop a newscast that meets their needs every day."
Bryant follows in the path of long-time THV noon anchor B.J. Sams who has decided to direct all of his energies to the popular "Today's THV This Morning" newscast weekday mornings at 5:00.
In a groundbreaking move for Little Rock broadcasting, the noon newscast will be seen not only on TV at home, but also online at work and everywhere todaysthv.com can be accessed.
"We will simulcast 'Today's THV at Noon' in its entirety live on the World Wide Web with the newscast taking a featured position on todaysthv.com," said KTHV President and General Manager Larry Audas. "We want to not only deliver news to folks at home, but to the many people on the job or at the office who will want to take a few minutes at noon to watch a live newscast on their computers."
Audas said the new online potential of "Today's THV at Noon" will greatly expand its viewership and may produce interesting interactive options for Today's THV in the weeks to come.

I'm preparing for my first century in mid-April. It is a climbing century, Mount Laguna Bicycle Classic (in San Diego county, in Southern California).
I've been steadily upping my "long rides" every other weekend, and doing climbs and hill-repeats on the weekends where I'm not doing long rides. My climbing rides are roughly 40-45 miles. And this past weekend my long ride was 56 miles. During the week I commute by bike depending on weather. Daily commute length can vary from 16 miles round trip to 30 miles round trip (if I take the long way to work).
Now to my questions - I seem to be hitting a limitation whereby I feel my legs become fatigued around the 40-45 mile range. I feel the beginning stages of cramping up. During my last long ride, I made conscious efforts to drink every 10 -15 minutes, taking in fuel (GU-packet) every 30-45 minutes. I've also started (within the last two weeks) taking a men's multi-vitamin which includes potassium.
At this point, I haven't done enough long duration rides to fully understand my nutritional needs. From my symptoms, does it sound like I'm not taking in enough fuel? Is what am experiencing referred to as bonking? Once I start feeling that cramping sensation, I feel like I have to really be careful of my pace and cadence to keep myself from fully cramping up. And if the road turns uphill while I'm in the beginning phases of cramping, it only gets worse.
What I haven't been doing during my long rides is stopping for rest. My last ride was just under 4 hours and I pretty much rode the whole time. Do you think if I stopped for 10-15 minutes (perhaps a coffee or food break), would that help with my cramps?

My bike club is looking for a shuttle bus for using on RAGBRAI. Somewhere in the 15 to 20 passenger size with air. Does anyone have one of these? What kind of luck have you had with it? Know where there is one for a sale? I realize it is a long shot asking here, but it doesn't cost a lot either.

Market regulator Sebi today clamped down on a fraudulent investment scheme being run by MCX Biz Solutions, which was soliciting money from investors for huge returns while using fake and forged registration documents and a name similar to that of an exchange group.
QUOTE: Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd (MCX)
Operating through a website, MCXBizSolutions.Com, it claimed to be active in stock trading and commodities trading and "was soliciting and collecting money from public and was promising high returns," Sebi said.
Directing the company and its sole proprietor Syed Sadaq, Sebi said that the registration certificate being used by them to lure investors was never issued by Sebi to the concerned entity. This certificate is shown to have been issued by Sebi under signature of Meera Kulkarni in June 2013, whereas there was no such officer in Sebi as on that date.
On its website, MCX Biz Solutions (MBS) also mentioned "Welcome to MCXSX", apparently without any link with MCX-SX, a stock exchange set up by Financial Technologies India Ltd (FTIL) group that also runs leading commodity bourse MCX.
Among other claims, MCX Biz Solutions said "mcxbizsolutions is a great trading arena for making profits, for everybody, and its fun" and it is "a winning system for making money" and "We know all about MCX commodity or stock tips for trading and earnings."
A Mumbai address listed on the website was also found to be untrue, while they also "made representations and statements in their website about their activities in securities market in reckless and careless manner and have suggested facts which are false and untrue," Sebi said.
"By their acts and omissions including their false statements and representations in deceitful manner, they have fraudulently solicited, enticed and induced investors to deal in securities," the regulator said.
In its order, Sebi said MCX Biz Solutions and its proprietor have been restrained from accessing the securities market and further prohibited them from buying, selling or otherwise dealing in securities, directly or indirectly, or being associated with the securities market in any manner till further directions.
Besides, they have also been asked to "cease and desist from undertaking any activity in the securities market, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever till further directions," Sebi said.
Sebi has also asked them to immediately withdraw and remove all advertisements, representations, literature, brochures, materials, publications, documents and websites

|Becoming one of my favorites
Date Climbed: Aug 23, 2015
|I have lived in the Pacific Northwest for less than a year, so I have not done enough repeat summits to say for sure what my favorite peaks are. After 2 climbs of this one I know its going to be one on the list.
Did this one as a 2 day overnight where we stayed at the camp at the base of the ridge and climbed for a sunrise summit. Forrest fires obscured views of some of the mountains, but made for some crazy sunrise colors across the landscape.
Love that knife edge! This mountain gives a wonderful complete alpine experience.

|Camped on the ridge between Eldorado and Roush basins (~6100 ft), beautiful spot. Views are amazing everywhere. The knife edge was very narrow and exciting, but with great steps. Going just past the summit, there are some nice rocks to relax and have lunch. Boulder field really sucked on the way down. Great climb in an incredible area.

|Lower boulder field (4k) has melted out for the most part. Upper is under snow with small moats forming in places. High camp at 7500 ft. Had the summit around 5:30am the following day. Knife edge is in excellent shape, just enough of room across for two boots. One small and one medium size crevasse near the summit, easy to avoid.

|Another great area, backcountry skier's nirvana. Early season usually makes crevasse danger almost non-existant, as long as one pays attention to route.

|The lower talus field is clear of snow, the upper talus field has some snow cover, and plunging through is a danger. We also had to cross over a few waterfalls on snow bridges but you could potentially avoid these by staying close to the granite cliffs. No crevasses were opened up and so once we got past the talus fields the rest of the mountain was great hiking and a beautiful summit. The descent is pretty brutal on the knees and is difficult with a tall or bulky pack due to the logs you duck under and how steep the trail is.
