Whilst Patricia Cornwell is mainly known for creating the Kay Scarpetta series, she also ventured into non fiction. As for eample her book about the search for 'Jack the Ripper'.
To anyone not familiar with the term, 'Jack the Ripper', it is a pseudonym given to a serial killer who commited several killings in London in 1888. All the victims were prostitutes and some had their insides cut out which gave the impression that the killer had some medical knowledge. There were several hundred letters sent to the police and some of those are believed to be from the killer.
Patricia Cornwell argues that the killer was Walter Sickert, an artist. She bases that claim on some of his paintings and similarities in the Ripper letters and letters sent by him to his mother. She also indicates his behaviour was alarming and that he had the psychological profile of a killer.
Whilst the book is very logical and appears to make a lot of sense, there are many 'Ripperologists' that don't agree. They state that she had her mind set on Sickert before she started writing the book, that Sickert wasn't actually in London at the time of some of the murders and that the similarities in the letters could be found in almost any letter, as long as the investigator searches hard enough.
Never mind that, the book is a very interesting read and reveals several interesting information about the 'Jack the Ripper' case, police work at the time and the time the murders happened. Would I have read it if it wasn't written by Patricia Cornwell? Probably not, but I would've missed out on a great book otherwise.

About MeI'm a Montana Native that grew up in Louisiana and has spent a fair amount of time traveling the states for my job.

HS20 heading to Disney
Initial report (disappointed but hopeful).
Well I got to FLORDIA today and unboxed the camera, popped in the boxed alk batteries and started shooting. I also had bought a high speed 16 GB SANDISK card (class 10 30 mbits/sec) so I wouldn't have any write speed lag.
I took the camera outside in a covered pool area and got the overheat icon within 10 minutes. I took about 80 shots (all garbage to get used to it) in different modes and got mixed results. But I have no clue on what I'm doing.
Tomorrow I plan on taking some more shots with a little manual reading and hope they get better. I know there's a huge learning curve with this camera (I'm a P&S guy) but seeing that overheat icon pop up so quick in 91 degree weather when I didn't even take it into the direct sunlight ... disappointing. Mind you the camera never shutdown but come on Fuji this just isn't right for a $500 camera.
The look and feel of this camera is great but this week will really push this guy.
Disney will be Wednesday.

Security Policy Model
The .NET Framework security policy model comprises the following elements:
Security policy levels: enterprise, machine, user, and sometimes application domain.
A hierarchy of code groups within the enterprise, machine, and user policy levels.
Named permission sets associated with each code group.
Evidence that provides information about the identity of code.
Application domain hosts that provide evidence about code to the common language runtime.
Each security policy level has its own hierarchy of code groups that provides infrastructure for establishing and configuring security policy. Code groups map evidence to a set of allowed permissions. Often, code groups are associated with a named permission set that specifies the allowable permissions for code in that group. The runtime uses evidence provided by a trusted host or by the loader to determine which code groups the code belongs to and, therefore, which permissions the code is granted.

Goodman Birtcher withdraws Fairview Township warehouse plan -- for now
California-based Goodman Birtcher North America has withdrawn its conditional use application to build a warehouse in York County after Capital City Airport had concerns about the proposed height and airport approach safety, according to a letter to Fairview Township.
Goodman Birtcher was proposing a 1-million-square-foot warehouse off Lewisberry Road near Interstate 83 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The plan faced strong opposition from Fairview Township residents.
Harrisburg law firm McNees Wallace & Nurick, representing Goodman Birtcher, sent a letter to Fairview Township withdrawing the conditional use application until the plans are altered to better meet airport safety concerns. The township posted the letter on its website today.
"Based upon additional information that we received from the Airport Authority after the last hearing, it has been determined that the site elevation must be further lowered," the letter says. "Goodman Birtcher agrees that this change is appropriate and believes that it is feasible to do so; however, lowering the site elevation will alter the layout of the site that is depicted in the pending conditional use application."
Capital City Airport is owned and operated by the Susquehanna Area Regional Airport Authority, which also operates Harrisburg International Airport. Officials there were not immediately available to comment.
The letter said it would be wasteful for the conditional use hearing to continue, then need to have another hearing after the plans were altered for the reduced height. The township had planned for hearings to continue this evening.
Goodman Birtcher also is planning 2.8 million square feet of warehouses near Carlisle.
Company officials did not immediately return calls for comment.
Goodman Birtcher is the North American subsidiary of Australia-based real estate investment trust The Goodman Group.

|One of the problems I am having is that when I select number 2 it selects the number one in the array. I cannot figure out how to write the code so that I access the correct number in the array.
|Finally I have the line (20)total = total + numbers[counter] in pseudocode and when I implement it into code the compiler comes back with the error `total' undeclared (first use this function). Also I am not sure where to place it in code if it does belong.The pseudocode was given to the class by my teacher and I am confused about should total have been declared and maybe he left that out by accident?
|Another problem is that I am not sure where to place the line (11)while(choice <> SENTINEL) of code or do I place it at all. Would I place it in front of the first output line (52)in pseudocode or in front of the line (66)if(choice <> -1) or am I wrong all together?
total = total + numbers[counter] looks out of place. There is no mention about total or numbers elsewhere so you can probably just remove that line.

PureI usually hate deodorant. THey do nothing for me and work really awfully, so I use antiperspirant. This is honestly the only decent deodorant on the market. It smells really good and dries fast.

Great natural deodorant!I love this stuff. It is a mixture of vinegar, essential oils and alcohol so if you are looking for a natural deodorant this stuff is great. The alcohol really burns if you spray it on just shaved skin and it is pretty pricey which are the only negatives I've found with this deodorant. It has a clove-based scent which makes it a great unisex spray and the vinegar helps fight odors. This is one of the best non-antiperspirant deodorants I've used. — 8 years, 3 months agoTwoBirds | 284 reviews

Effective formula but a bit too herbalThe deodorant certainly does as it should--it prevents odor very effectively. I normally really like products from Origins, and wanted to really love this one, but it does have some drawbacks for me: It warns not to apply it to freshly-shaven skin--please pay attention to this warning!

It also takes quite a while to dry, and I found that throughout the day I seemed to be very aware of myself when I was perspiring (I live in Florida, it is very hot here!)because I would perspire and feel the moisture in addition to smelling the very strong herbal (almost masculine) scent. As a positive point, it was very effective with respect to odor prevention. I am, however, alternating using this with my natural salt stick, which is odorless but not as effective. With this product I suspect each individual will have their own very different opinion of it--you would really have to try it to be sure if it is right for you. — 4 years, 1 month agorouxblonde | 92 reviews

Organic deodorant that really works!I have tried several organic aluminum-free deodorants, but had yet to find one that worked after 2 days. This was until I tried Origins Organic deodorant. It's easy to use, a spray, not a stick; it works after a long hot summer day; I had no skin reactions to this one (Toms of Maine gave me a rash after 3 days of use- and it took a week to go away); and the bottom line- it just plain does the job....read more It is however, only a deodorant- not an anti-perspirant. If you don't need that kind of protection, then this is a great choice. I would have given this 10 stars, but the scent is a little masculine (reminded me of Old Spice for men). Other than that- this is a winner. — 8 years agoSara13 | 15 reviews

Buying from Amazon US, although in another country

I've switched my account to the US address.
Now both Kindle Fire HDs (7" from Germany, 8.9" from the US) show the US store, even lovefilm US.
When switching back to Germany, strange enough the 7" Fire HD from Germany shows lovefilm Germany. The 8.9" Fire HD from the US does not.
And the 8.9" Fire HD from the US then doesn't show some links in the shop (in the Kindle UI, not the website) as well: Videos and Music don't exist then.
Somehow it's not only about the account and residence, as both Fires are registered to the same account and the same country. Still the 8.9" Fire HD from the US somehow seems to "remember" his origins.
If I don't find any new hurdles, for example lovefilm showing the films but not playing them outside of the US, I'll stick to the US account.
Only downside I've found so far: Some purchases have international fees, for example daily newspaper transfers. But this only would apply to 3G, which wouldn't work on the US Fire HD outside of the US anyway...
All a bit confusing...

Product Description
Our two most recent canine additions happen to be of the Corgi breed. One is young and full of energy and the other is….well….the opposite. They get a laugh out of us each time they go up or down the stairs or run through the store. Penny, the younger one, flies up steps and can turn on a dime. She makes it look easy, sort of like Sven Nys. Ernie can also get it done but not quite so eloquently. One day as Penny effortlessly leaped up the steps going to the office, Peter made some cyclocross related comment and the ball started rolling. We joked around a bit about Corgis and cross and how Corgis would replace the Lion of Flanders in our dream world. Think about it, when was the last time you saw a Lion hop something? Quickly we had some ideas for a t-shirt or a jersey that would have some Corgis with a crown replacing the coat of arms because after all they are the dog of choice for the Queen.
With a "solid" concept in place, Kevin and Alison dove into design and came up with awesome designs for jerseys, t-shirts and hoodies. With a little research, we found that in Welsh folklore, fairies road corgis into battle. No wonder these dogs can motor. Like most cyclocrossers, we wanted to make sure that fun was the emphasis here! Since a lot of riders seem to be "powered by" something or "presented by" someone, we decided to notch the seriousness down a bit, have some fun and do some good by donating all of the proceeds from this project to CAWS, a really great animal rescue here in Utah. Our Corgis came from CAWS and we can't thank them enough for what they do!
So if you like dogs, or like cross (or hopefully you like both), purchase a jersey, a t-shirt or a hoodie and support CAWS and show your true cross colors too!
FIT: The jersey is ergonomically cut to perfecty clone the shape and movement of a cyclist in the riding position. This is a race fit jersey.

several hundred thousand units of the first BlackBerry 10 flavored smartphone were sold. Putting that in perspective, he notes that the Apple iPhone 5 sold 5 million+ units during its launch weekend. But he notes that the U.S. is five times the size of the U.K., which he says bodes well for BlackBerry.
This has led to a 10% rally in the stock Monday morning, which is trading today for the first time as BlackBerry using the ticker symbol BBRY on NASDAQ.

With the market awaiting the outcome of the Three's proposed acquisition of O2 in the UK, the debate about whether fewer mobile operators is anti-competitive rages on.

NORTH ANDOVER, MA – Senior Robbie Sabadoz (Ottawa, ON) of the Merrimack men's soccer team has been named to the NSCAA All-Region third team. Sabadoz was one of 18 players from the Northeast-10 Conference to receive NSCAA All-Region honors this season.
The senior co-captain was a Capital One Academic All-District and All-America honoree this fall. A business major, Sabadoz owns a 3.84 grade point average.
This season, he was named to the Northeast-10 All-Conference first team for the third-consecutive year. Sabadoz paced the Warriors with 19 points on eight goals and three assists in his senior season. He tallied a pair of game-winning markers on the year, including the overtime score to lift Merrimack over Saint Anselm at home September 27.
Sabadoz became the third player in program history to amass 100 career points as he registered four points in the Warriors' 4-2 victory over Le Moyne October 19. He capped off his career with 104 total points and 45 career goals, tying him for second all-time in program history.
Sabadoz was selected to represent Merrimack in the NEISL Senior All-Star Game this season.
The Warriors posted a winning record for the eighth-straight year with a 9-7-3 overall mark. Merrimack concluded the regular season with a 7-6-1 record in league play to secure the No. 5 seed in the Northeast-10 Conference playoffs.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/11/2012 (1751 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
THE opportunities for young female hockey players just got a big shot in the arm as Hockey Canada announced a new event Monday.
St. Mary's Academy will play host in February to the 2013 Female World Sport School Challenge at the MTS Iceplex.
The eight-school tournament will be a huge opening for elite female players with an eye towards the future. Hockey Canada said Monday that scouts from post-secondary institutions across North America, including Canadian schools, are expected to attend the four-day tournament.
The tournament has also enlisted former Team Canada star and Winnipeg native Jennifer Botterill as the guest speaker for the event's banquet at the Victoria Inn.
The three-time Olympic gold medallist and five-time world champion is an exceptional role model for aspiring female players.
Winnipeg's Balmoral Hall and the Shaftesbury Hockey Academy will join St. Mary's as the local content for this national event.
Calgary's Edge School for Athletes, the Banff Hockey School, the Okanagan Hockey Academy from Penticton, B.C., the Pursuit of Excellence from Kelowna, B.C., and Rothesay Netherwood School of Rothesay, N.B., will all compete for the gold medal.
Preliminary rounds are scheduled for Feb. 21-22. A relegation round and two semifinal games will take place Feb. 23 and the tournament's championship game will go Feb. 24, all at the Iceplex.
"Last year we introduced the very first World Sport School Challenge, which provided boys' prep school teams with the chance to showcase their skills on an international stage," Kevin Bathurst, Hockey Canada's manager of schools programs, said in the tournament announcement. "This year we're thrilled to introduce the girls' event, which will give elite female players the chance to hone their skills and compete with their school teams at the highest level possible."
The new tournament is part of Hockey Canada's commitment to help sport schools create learning environments that are competitive across the country.
Hockey Canada currently supports 15 sport schools with formal partnerships, focusing on learning opportunities in combination with developing hockey skills.

Dental Anesthesia
Laughing gas in asthmatic children
can a 6 year old child with a history of asthma who has been a symptomatic for 2 years and never had a really bad attack be given laughing gas during dental treatment?
Nitrous oxide is not contraindicated with asthma, especially in a mild asthmatic as you describe here. Except under conditions of an acute asthma attack, the sedative is fine to use. In fact, some asthmatics have attacks precipitated by anxiety reactions. In these patients, the use of nitrous oxide may decrease the incidence of bronchospasm.

I want to start this off by saying that I don't believe you guys and gals to be snark internet trolls. I've met some of the kindest, most wonderful people ever via GoNintendo. This is just a thought I had that I really wanted to get off my chest. Kills me to see stuff like this. See you in a few, short hours.
I remember seeing a special for this show on TLC last year, but it seems that IGN is involved with sharing another season their YouTube Channel every week. It may not be your cup of tea, but I thought the idea was cute enough, plus I loved seeing all the different cosplayers at these events. I bookmarked the video earlier today in order to watch at night.
11 minutes of harmless fluff, but I found it to be enjoyable nonetheless. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of heading to the comments section afterwards. That's where I found comments like these.
Nasty comments on the internet. There's a real shocker, right? I know, this kind of thing is old news. I thought that while reading the comments...but then I realized something. Comments like this aren't a new thing, but the fact that seeing stuff like this is taken as par for the course started to irk me. Instead of expecting insightful comments, constructive criticism and kind words, we expect to see vulgar bashing and hurtful thoughts? I'm all for freedom of speech...but I still find it sad that some people decide to use that freedom for comments like these.
Say whatever you like, you have that right. Just know that there are real people out there on the other end of your comments. The things you say may seem like part a virtual world stuck in a computer, but those words could have a profound impact on someone. A snarky retort that rolls off your back could absolutely ruin someone else's day.
This obviously applies to gamers in more ways than just the video above. We comment on gaming message boards, talk to one another on sites like this, voice/text chat with each other in games. Going on voice chat in today's games, you expect to be called fag, retard and a number of other names. You expect to have terrible interactions with people. You expect to have racist phrases blurted at you. It's truly upsetting that things are this way, but those spouting don't seem to care one bit.
Again, I believe you all to be wonderful people. I've only ever had fantastic interactions with all of you. I'm very, very lucky to have a corner of the internet with such kind and caring people. I just really felt that this was something I had to get off my chest.
For any of you that have been attacked online via a game/messageboard/site, know that you have others that care about you. Never let anyone get you down with mean-spirited comments. The internet and gaming worlds can be wonderful places, and you have plenty of people on this site that are more than ready to remind you of that.
I promise you that I'll always be just an email away, and I always have your back. If you've ever been beaten down by comments like this, you don't have to suffer them alone.

Jared43758 wrote:Does coal make a lot of ash? Like a lot more than wood?
Jared43758 wrote:When I burn wood I leave quite a bed of ashes because it seems like it holds more heat. When I'm burning coal I try and remove all ashes right? So the coal is right down by the shaker grate and grate is clear to let air through? Then try to not melt or warp my grate?
The grate on these units have a lot of solid surface area so it keeps some ash on its top side unintentionally anyways. As long as the ash pan is kept empty so primary combustion air can get thru without restriction, there shouldn't be an issue with over heating the grates.davidmcbeth3 wrote:Remember, the ash acts as an insulator for your grates .. so a little is good.
I use 5-6 tons for 2400 sq ft house per year and range 30-80 pounds per day depending on how cold it is.. (30 pounds per day during mild spring and fall days, 80 pounds per day during below zero cold winter days). The general rule is 1 ton per 500 sq ft per year, but that's just a rough calculation. For bit coal, the big chunks are better, like tennis ball - softball size pieces.Jared43758 wrote:How much coal roughly should I use a day? How many ton range a year? Best sizing to use?
I agree this is a better view point.. Good thinking!carlherrnstein wrote:Here is a example of my thinking these numbers are just to show a point. If you burn 100lbs of wood per day to keep your house 70*F and get 1.5lbs of ash. If you were burning coal might burn 60lbs of coal to keep your house at 70*F and get 6.6lbs of ash. There is more ash in coal however there is also more heat.
I wouldn't try to burn soccer ball size chunks. Softball to grapefruit size should be plenty big enough. Keep the sizes uniform. Nut size bit coal will melt and fuse together forming a big solid mass that needs to be broken up later in the burn to keep heat output good..Jared43758 wrote: Great big peices of coal won't hurt? Still burn hot?

San Francisco Regional Outlook - Third Quarter 1997
Regular Features
Strong Growth in Services, Aerospace, and High-Tech Boosts the San Francisco Region's Performance
Strong Growth Continues in the San Francisco RegionOver the past year the San Francisco Region has grown at a much faster pace than the nation as a whole, both in terms of personal income and employment. In addition, high-tech and commercial aerospace manufacturing, construction, and business and tourist services all have exhibited noteworthy strength over the past year. Most analysts continue to give the Region favorable marks and anticipate continued expansion in 1997, although perhaps at more moderate rates. The robust performance of the Region is clearly a factor in the strong earnings and generally improving asset quality of the Region's banking industry.
The Region continues to lead the nation in generating employment, as it has over the past two years. Over 724,000 jobs were added in the Region in the 12-month period ending April 1997. The 3.3 percent increase in nonfarm payroll employment was the fastest over a comparable one-year period since the national recovery began in 1991. Job growth in 6 of the Region's 11 states (Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington) was 3 percent or better, well above the 2 percent increase in employment elsewhere in the nation. Idaho, which had been showing signs of slowing over the past year, slipped to a 2.5 percent growth rate over the past 12 months, down from 3.3 percent a year ago. Over the past year, employment growth rates for the Region's slowest growing states--Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, and Wyoming--ranged from 1.1 percent in Montana to zero in Hawaii.
The manufacturing sector is presently a key source of strength for the Region. Over the 12 months ending April 1997, the Region's manufacturing employment grew 3 percent. In contrast, elsewhere in the nation manufacturing employment actually contracted. The bulk of the nearly 88,000 new manufacturing jobs created in the Region over the past year were in the production of durable goods.
The strength in two manufacturing industries, high-tech and aerospace, was especially noteworthy. Chart 1 shows that several states, and the Region as a whole, are much more dependent on the health of these two industries than is the nation as a whole. Nationally, high-tech and aerospace employment combined made up only a little more than 10 percent of total manufacturing employment, according to the 1995 Census Bureau survey on manufacturing employment. In contrast, over one-quarter of all manufacturing jobs in both Washington and California were in either aerospace or high-tech. Arizona and Idaho also have a relatively high concentration of their manufacturing jobs in these two industries.
Chart 1
High-Tech Should Improve with the Chip MarketHigh-tech employment is defined here to include jobs in manufacturing computers, electronic components, communications, and measurement and control equipment. The Region accounted for over 34 percent of the nation's employment in high-tech electronics in 1995, according to the Census Bureau survey on manufacturing employment. The importance of California to the nation's high-tech industry is illustrated in Chart 2. California accounts for less than 11 percent of the nation's employment, yet 25 percent of the nation's high-tech manufacturing jobs are located in the state.
Chart 2
The soft demand for chips and computer products that surprised the industry in 1996 is expected to give way to a moderate increase in production in 1997. Recent forecasts by industry analysts suggest that the chip market should grow between 5 and 12 percent in 1997. That rate of expansion would benefit both California and the growing number of states, including Arizona, Idaho, Oregon, Utah, and Washington, that have developed sizeable high-tech manufacturing industries.
Within California, high-tech is most dominant in the booming Silicon Valley. A low unemployment rate, a scarcity of skilled workers, housing shortages, and extremely low commercial real estate vacancy rates all attest to the impact of the industry on business conditions in the Silicon Valley. Moreover, the boom is extending to other parts of the Bay Area and the Sacramento region, as well as to out-of-state manufacturing centers.
Expansion, however, continues to present challenges for the Silicon Valley. Technological changes, competition, and the lure of lower-cost production facilities continue to lead firms to relocate their manufacturing facilities outside the Silicon Valley. Several manufacturers have recently announced that it is more cost-effective to build new facilities in other locations than to refurbish an obsolete plant in the Valley. According to Strategic Marketing Associates, an industry market-research firm, of the 14 large semiconductor fabrication facilities planned to open around the world by the year 2000, only three will be built in the United States, and none will be located in California.
Movement from the Silicon Valley has benefited many emerging manufacturing centers located in other areas. While other states in the Region have much smaller high-tech industries than California does, their growth rates have outpaced California's. Computer-manufacturing employment grew at rates in excess of 20 percent in Oregon and Washington last year, compared with a 7.7 percent increase for California.
Aerospace Is Booming in Washington StateThe Region's share of the nation's aerospace jobs is even greater than its share of high-tech employment. Aerospace employment is defined here to include jobs in manufacturing aircraft, missiles and spacecraft, and search and navigation equipment. As shown in Chart 3, the Region accounts for 40 percent of aerospace employment nationally. For comparison purposes, the Region accounts for under 19 percent of the nation's employment. The bulk of the aerospace employment in the Region is in Washington and California.
Chart 3
Commercial aerospace manufacturing, especially in Washington, is reaping the benefits of a favorable economy, growth in airline passenger traffic, and the need to replace aging or noisy jet fleets. The surge in demand has built a huge backlog of orders, more than half of which are from foreign air carriers whose fortunes are less closely tied to U.S. economic conditions. Boeing, headquartered in Seattle, and its many subcontractors have responded to the aerospace boom by increasing production to meet the demand. Boeing alone is slated to add another 10,000 employees over the course of 1997 following the addition of more than 20,000 employees in 1996.
In 1996 Washington's aerospace employment surpassed that of California, and by April 1997 it again exceeded the 100,000 level. Despite the current boom, Washington aerospace employment still is well below the peak of 118,000 it hit in 1989 before the full impact of defense cutbacks hit the industry. However, Washington's turnaround still compares favorably with California, which because of its dependence on defense contracts has yet to experience an upturn in aerospace.
Technology and Aerospace Stand Out Because of Their History of Wide Business Cycle SwingsBoth the high-tech and aerospace manufacturing industries have a history of experiencing more severe business cycle swings than do most other sectors of the economy. High-tech and aerospace investments are sensitive to interest rates movements. Weak industry or economic conditions also may warrant postponing high-tech investments or costly aircraft purchases until conditions improve. In addition, demand for aircraft tends to move in cycles that depend on air traffic volume and the performance of the world's airlines, factors that are strongly influenced by economic conditions.
These highly cyclical industries usually are procyclical; they tend to boost the Region's growth during good times and weaken it during recessions. Chart 4 shows the exaggerated business cycle swings since the mid-1970s for California's high-tech industry compared with total employment (excluding high-tech). Chart 5 shows the similar patterns for Washington's aerospace industry. Aerospace also has been subject to wide swings related to increases, and more recently decreases, in defense spending. At the state and local levels, where these industries may account for a large portion of local economic activity, their boom and bust cycles can be especially important.
Chart 4
Chart 5
Implications: High-tech and aerospace tend to exhibit wide swings in growth over the course of the business cycle that can affect business conditions at the local, state, and regional levels. The San Francisco Region's exposure to these swings is even greater than the nation's because the Region is much more dependent on these industries. Thus, while the growth phase of the business cycle for these industries may stimulate expansion in other industries and increase the demand for loans, the contraction phase traditionally has weakened economies that are dependent on these industries and caused deterioration in asset quality. Because of the highly cyclical nature of these industries, it is important to understand both their current contribution to the Region's economic health and their future prospects.
Construction Employment Climbs as Real Estate Markets Heat UpA third highly cyclical industry is construction. The San Francisco Region is slightly more dependent on construction employment than is the nation. Current conditions in the Region's construction sector are generally robust, with the key exceptions of Hawaii and some areas of Southern California. Over the 12 months ending in April 1997, the sector added more than 80,000 jobs. This increase of 7.7 percent is nearly twice the rate of growth nationally. Despite a sharp decline in housing permits, residential construction activity remained strong in Nevada during the first quarter. Building activity also has picked up in California in the aftermath of the devastating flooding earlier in the year and the mild winter that followed.
Relatively low commercial vacancy rates in most office and industrial markets in the Region, along with increased activity in the commercial real estate industry, also are contributing to the pickup in construction employment. As noted in Retail Shakeout: Causes and Implications for Lenders, most analysts believe that vacancy rates and market fundamentals for retail-based real estate in most metropolitan areas of the Region remain positive.
Strength in Services and TourismThe service sector tends to experience relatively small variations in annual growth rates over the business cycle, a sharp contrast with the behavior of high-tech, aerospace, and construction. Not only has the service sector been more stable in recent decades, it also has been the fastest growing sector. Its current performance is consistent with that trend.
The Region's service sector added 309,000 jobs over the past year, a robust 4.7 percent growth rate. Business services, which encompasses an array of rapidly growing activities including programming and software services, equipment leasing, and temporary employment agencies, added more than 129,000 jobs over the past 12 months, an increase of 9.3 percent.
Tourism and travel services also scored gains in much of the Region and helped boost service sector activity. The healthy economy has stimulated both business and tourist travel. Five states reported noteworthy strength in tourism: Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, and Utah. The San Francisco and Los Angeles areas recorded increased tourism in 1996, and analysts expect similar favorable conditions for 1997. Arizona reported nearly a 4 percent increase in domestic visitors last year, and Utah reported rapid growth in lodging employment. High occupancy rates have improved conditions for hotels in Las Vegas, Portland, and San Diego. Finally, both the travel and amusement industries are reporting rising employment levels.
Implications: The simultaneous robust performance of three cyclical industries over the past year is a key factor in the current health of the Region's economy. Still, the boom in all three highly cyclical industries bears monitoring. While all three are presently doing well, and most analysts anticipate continued favorable conditions, this Region is much more dependent on the health of these industries than is the nation as a whole. Furthermore, the strong economy is an important reason for the robust performance of the Region's banking institutions. However, in the past, downturns in these sectors, like aerospace in Washington in the early 1980s or California in the 1990s, high-tech in the Silicon Valley in the mid-1980s, or real estate in California in the first half of the 1990s, all have adversely affected both the Region and some of its banks.

Consider the differences in the fortunes of the program before and in the seven seasons after her hiring:
• Before: 18 winning seasons in 31 years, including just six in 17 seasons on the Division I level and one in the prior nine years ... After: Seven winning seasons;
• Before: Four winning seasons in Patriot League regular season games in 17 seasons, including none in the prior nine seasons ... After: Seven winning seasons;
• Before: A Patriot League record of 98-118 (45.4%) in 17 seasons –– including a 46-76 (37.7%) record in the prior nine seasons ... After: A record of 79-45 (63.7%);
• Before: Shared the Patriot League regular season title once and placed no lower than in a tie for third place five times ... After: Won the regular season crown outright once and shared it twice while finishing no lower than in a tie for third place six times;
• Before: A Patriot League Tournament record of 9-17 (34.6%), including a 1-9 record (10%) in the prior nine years ... After: A record of 13-5 (72.2%) in the event;
• Before: Two appearances in the championship game of the Patriot League Tournament –– none in the prior nine years –– without winning the title ... After: Three tournament titles;
• Before: No post-season appearances ... After: Three trips to the NCAA Tournament and one to the WNIT.
Additionally, Navy has advanced to the semifinal round of the Patriot League Tournament in seven of her eight years, the most semifinal appearances in the league during this time (Lehigh has made six semifinal round appearances). The Mids had reached the semifinal round of the tournament seven times in its first 17 years in the league.
Navy's run of league crowns began with the 2010-11 season. The Mids posted an overall record of 20-12 that season, which marked just the third 20-win campaign in program history and the first in 13 seasons. Navy also finished the Patriot League's regular season with a share of the league crown –– for the first time in 13 years and the second time in school history –– with a record of 10-4. The Mids entered the 2011 league tournament as the top-seeded team for the first time in Navy's two-decade membership in the league. Navy would make its No. 1 seed hold up as the Mids advanced to the program's first NCAA Tournament in their 20th season of competition on the Division I level.
Pemper would be recognized that year as the Patriot League Coach of the Year.
The 2011-12 campaign saw the Mids garner the No. 3 seed in the Patriot League Tournament with a league mark of 8-6 as part of an overall record of 18-14. After winning a home quarterfinal round, Navy went on the road to knock off No. 2 seed Lehigh in the semifinal round of the tournament. The Mids then topped Holy Cross in the championship game to once again cut down the nets in Alumni Hall.
The 2012-13 saw Navy compile an 11-3 record in league play (21-12 overall) to earn a share of the league's regular season title. The Mids ran their winning streak in the postseason to nine games in a row to become just the second program in league history to win as many as three-consecutive tournament titles.
Navy then set a school record with its overall mark of 24-8 during the 2013-14 season and won the first outright regular season title in school history with a 15-3 mark against Patriot League foes. Pemper would earn her second Patriot League Coach-of-the-Year nod after the end of the regular season.
The Mids have represented both Navy and the Patriot League well in each of their four post-season appearances.
In Navy's initial NCAA Tournament trip, the No. 14 Mids gave DePaul, the region's No. 3 seed and the ninth-ranked team in the country, a battle in the 2011 edition of the event. Navy held the lead over the Blue Demons in the second half and was within single digits of the eventual Sweet 16-advancing DePaul squad with five minutes left in the game before falling, 56-43. It was the closest game played by a Patriot League team since 1991.
Navy received the No. 15 seed in the 2012 NCAA Tournament and was sent to nearby College Park for a first round game at Maryland. The Mids gave the No. 2 seeded-Terrapins all they wanted as Navy was within seven points of the eventual Elite Eight-bound Maryland squad before losing a 59-44 decision.
In Navy's 2013 trip to March Madness, it became the first Patriot League team to hold a halftime lead in an NCAA Tournament game in over two decades as the No. 15 Mids held the lead over No. 2 seed and seventh-ranked Kentucky for all but two minutes of the first half before taking a 26-25 lead at the break. The Mids were within six points of the Wildcats late in the second half before Kentucky recorded a 61-41 win.
The Mids then went on the road to face Old Dominion in the first round of the 2014 WNIT. Navy trailed the Monarchs by just three points in the game's waning minutes before late free throws gave the home team a 68-60 victory.
The turnaround in fortunes for the program began in Pemper's inaugural season of 2008-09. That year she guided the Mids to a 16-15 overall record and an 8-6 mark in Patriot League play. The 16 wins attained by the team was an improvement of nine wins over the 2007-08 season. The 2008-09 Mids not only ranked as the most improved team in Navy history, the squad also tied for 13th place nationally in terms of the biggest turnarounds in terms of victory totals from the prior season. Navy's league mark also was the best for the Mids since the 1997-98 season, while its tie for third place was its best in a decade.
Her initial campaign was capped off by Navy defeating Bucknell in the quarterfinal round of the Patriot League Tournament. The win was the first for the Mids in the tournament in five years and just the second by Navy in the postseason in a decade.
The success for the squad continued in her second season. The 2009-10 campaign saw Navy compile an overall record of 17-14 along with an 8-6 mark in the league and earn the No. 3 seed in the league tournament. That led to the Mids recording a victory over Colgate in the quarterfinal round of the postseason. Additionally that year, Navy attained its first season sweep of Holy Cross in school history, its first regular season sweep of Bucknell in over a decade, a sweep of Army for the first time in seven years and the return of the Army-Navy Trophy after a seven-year hiatus.
Navy's 2014-15 season was emblematic of the success the program has had during her stint on The Yard. Despite entering the season with having only one player who had started a game in their career on the squad and players who had totaled only 90 league games played in their combined careers –– less than half of the next most inexperienced team in the league –– the Mids posted an overall record of 17-14, tied for fourth place in the league's regular season standings with a mark of 10-8 and reached the semifinal round of the league tournament.
Coaching at Bowdoin
Pemper arrived at Navy after posting a 235-48 record as the head coach of Bowdoin. Her 10-year winning percentage of 83% ranked fourth in NCAA Division III history upon her departure. The team also compiled a New England Small College Athletic Conference regular season record of 65-7 (.903) during her tenure and won at least a share of six conference regular season titles to go along with seven conference tournament crowns.
Pemper's teams were especially dominant at home, winning 76 consecutive games from 2001-07, the fourth-longest home winning streak in NCAA Division III history.
Bowdoin's success was not limited to the conference level under Pemper, who also served as the school's Senior Woman Administrator, as the program qualified for the NCAA Tournament in all but one of her 10 years at the school. The Polar Bears made seven consecutive Sweet 16 appearances from 2001-07 and advanced to the Elite Eight in six straight years (2002-07).
School history was made by the team during its magical 2003-04 season. Bowdoin compiled a 30-1 record on the year, with its lone loss coming in the NCAA National Championship Game. It was the first national title game appearance for any team in Bowdoin history. At the conclusion of the 2003-04 season, Pemper was selected as the WBCA NCAA Division III National Coach of the Year. She also was tabbed as the District I Coach of the Year in both 2003 and '04, and was named as the NESCAC Coach of the Year in 2002, '04, and '06.
In addition to her accolades, Pemper's players also regularly were honored on the national level. The laurels included Lora Trenkle (2004) and Eileen Flaherty (2007) garnering First-Team All-America accolades and Flaherty being selected as the WBCA National Player of the Year.
Pemper was inducted into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame in October 2009.
Playing at Idaho State
A native of Huntington Beach, Calif., Pemper is a 1992 graduate of Idaho State. She would earn All-Big Sky Conference laurels during her final two seasons at the school and be inducted into its hall of fame in 2003. She earned a pair of degrees at the school, first a Bachelor of Arts degree in communication (1992) then a Master's of Physical Education/Athletic Administration (1997).
Early Coaching Career
Following graduation and the conclusion of her playing career, Pemper served one season as a graduate assistant at Alaska-Anchorage, before returning to her alma mater to begin a two-year stint as a member of the school's coaching staff. From there, Pemper traveled to the East Coast to join the staff at Harvard.
The Crimson won at least 20 games during each of her three seasons in Cambridge and posted a 39-3 Ivy League record over that time. Harvard won the conference title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in each of her three years. After losing in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in both 1996 and '97, Harvard became the first –– and only –– No. 16 seed in either the women's or men's national tournament to win a first round game when the Crimson topped the No. 1 seed Stanford Cardinal.

2007 -- What a Year
Things went pretty much downhill after that. In June Judy was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and the rest of the year has been devoted to getting that taken care of. She's now in complete remission and has only one more chemo treatment to go. We're looking forward to reaching the end of that road.
However, on Christmas night, we discovered that Judy's 95-year-old mom has multiple brain tumors. She's in the Clear Lake Regional Medical Center now, and we're waiting to find out what the doctors conclude about our options. Judy has an appointment at MD Anderson on Wednesday, and she can't miss that. I have to be with her. Then her final chemo treatment is a week from today, January 7. She's going to feel terrible after the treatment, which will take the full day. We don't know what we'll do about her mother during that time, since we don't even know where her mother will be. Seems as if 2008 isn't going to get off to a promising start for us.
As you can see, we're not out celebrating tonight. I'm doing this blog entry about a half hour after returning from the hospital, and pretty quickly we'll hit the hay so we can be up and at 'em tomorrow.
My wish for all you blog readers is that 2008 will be a wonderful year, with good health and happiness for all. And if you're out there having fun tonight, drink a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne.

Well, there are only two BOTYs for crime fiction that cover US writers, no? (I'm only aware of the BAMS and the Gorman/Greenberg, along with Jakubowski's UK annual, anyway.) And no regular Edgar volumes, any more...though my impression is that in comparison to the remarkably regular Nebulas volume, that series has always been spotty. But someone really should gather up those Edgar noms, at least.
Not to be a broken LP, but may the next year, and those to follow, be much easier. From someone with his own minor bumps by comparison, Happy New Year, Bill...and to all.
(And the DAMNED NEAR DEAD folks should've submitted the story to the PUSHCARTs and Susie Bright and Jakubowski for his other annual...worth a shot!)

And the best of years to you and Judy.
Dear Bill,
I just read your 2007 wrap-up and wanted to send my heartfelt wishes for happy and peaceful 2008 to you and Judy!
I'm sure thousands of your readers are rooting for you, Judy, and her Mom.
All the Best,
Dwyline, San Francisco

>Health and Nutrition>Does this sound like ITBS? Something else?
I'm having a lot of pain/tightness in my left leg and I'm trying to figure out what the problem is. I haven't been to a doctor yet because it's difficult to take the time off work right now, so I'm trying to self-diagnose, as dumb as that may be. Last week, I started to feel some pain in my calf and in the area directly above my achilles. It tended to hurt more at the beginning of a run and go away as I warmed up. I wasn't too worried about it, as I often have low-grade shin/calf pain and it doesn't generally seem to lead anywhere. However, a couple of days later I did a lower body lifting workout (squats, lunges, deadlift, etc.) and since then my entire leg has been messed up. At first I thought it was just DOMS, since my right leg was pretty sore the next day, too. But now my right leg is fine and my left leg is extremely achy and dead-feeling. The pain starts way up at my hip in the front and my glute in the back and travels down the front and outside of my thigh and down into my hamstrings, past the outside of my knee and into my shin. The inside of my leg doesn't seem to be too affected. It's not really a sharp pain, more a dull but constant ache that gets worse when sitting for long periods of time (really enjoying my desk job now).
I've been foam rolling, and it's really, really painful, especially on the outside of my thigh right above my knee. Does this sound like ITBS? I'm not sure because everything I've read about it indicates that people feel a kind of 'stabbing' pain outside the knee, and that's not really what I have (yet?). What should I be doing for rehab? I'm almost heartbroken at the thought that I may have to take some time off, but I really don't want this problem to get worse. Any advice? Thanks for reading.

Storage enhancement.
Seat bags are great. Allen wrenches, a multi-tool, a tube, and some tire levers right there under your seat when you need them. The problem that we've always found with seat bags, however, is the size. Manufacturers seem to get shy when it comes to making a seat bag that can actually carry a useful amount of gear. We'd like to carry two tubes, a multi-tool, a snack, our tire levers, a chain breaker, a couple CO2 cartridges, and an ultralight rain jacket. It looks like we'll need to ditch the wimpy seat bag and reach for the Chrome Knurled Welded Gravel Seatbag.
The Knurled Welded Gravel Seatbag carries all of that gear and more. The unique cinch system allows your load to extend well past the back of your saddle, so there's room to spare. You don't have to worry about the weather, either. The PU-coated 600-denier polyester panels are held together with welded seams — completely waterproof and ready for anything.

Interesting bag
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I view this as special bag for certain rides, where I need extra capacity or where it might be raining. I am not using this as an everyday seat bag. I have not figured out how to organize it yet well enough to use it more. There is only one big pouch. No smaller compartments. So, when you need something from the bag, generally everything in the bag needs to come out. Not really a big deal as many seat bags are like this.
What I like about this bag is its size, it holds tools, tubes, jacket, gloves, arm warmers, it is water proof and it is a very light bag given how much it holds.
The problem I found is that it takes some effort to stuff it just right so that it remains stiff behind the seat. I used the bag to ride up Haleakala and on the way up it was just great. I took great pains to stuff the bag just right with the heavy and smaller gear towards the seat post (like the tools and tubes) and then the jacket kind of stretched out towards the back of the bag. If the heavier tubes are not in the right place on this bag, it can just look limp, but it does still work.
Once I took all my gear out at the top for the ride down, I was able to roll it up pretty small and it held its shape. However, when I finally got down lower on the mountain where it was really warm the bag was tough to get repacked with my gear so that it held its shape like I had it before I started the ride. That was a bummer but again, it held my gear and nothing fell out. Perhaps with more experience I may be able to master this bag.

In the end content drives adoption. I refer you to Apple's iPhone platform and the game changing nature of the AppStore. For those of us old enough to remember, look at Betamax and VHS and Sony's subsequent acquisition of much of Hollywood to make sure they didn't loose a technology war again.
We are now in another technology war, the war of the hypervisors. Microsoft, Oracle, Citrix and VMware all competing to dominate compute virtualization. I think it is likely that once again content will win through and currently Microsoft and Oracle, through their overwhelming software footprints, are executing on a pincer movement around VMware.
That makes the recent acquisition of SpringSource a Java developer platform very well timed. So the big open questions remain, who will be most successful at attracting and retaining the Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and what about IBM?

A Photographic Diary of a Decade.
By Patrick McMullan (with an introduction by Jay McInerney and commentary by Michael Musto, Tom Ford, Tama Janowitz and others).
powerHouse Books, $60.
PART yearbook, part memento mori, ''so80s'' is as much an ode to a vanished Manhattan as it is to the decade that killed it. From the beginning of the Reagan era in 1981 to 1987, when the stock market plunged and Andy Warhol died, New York gave itself one of the longest parties in history -- a relentless, morphing, mutating scene that Patrick McMullan, armed with an easy grin and an Instamatic camera, began documenting in 1983 with a column for Details magazine.
Mr. McMullan, who has chronicled nighttime New York ever since, once estimated that he had been to 30,000 parties and had taken 500,000 pictures. He now functions as a kind of paparazzi brand, with family members taking pictures that are published under his name.
But in the 80's it was just Mr. McMullan, hoofing it from one club to another, from Studio 54 to the Palladium, from Area to Danceteria to Limelight. In the 80's, people still misbehaved, and the clubs offered the parties -- so many birthday parties! -- where they could do it. (Today parties are benefits and product introductions, healthier but duller activities.)
Whose story is it? The whole tribe of the night, which was pretty small when it first formed under Warhol's eye behind the velvet ropes, but became so big that it didn't make much sense. A partial list of who was there: Steve Rubell, Roy Cohn, Perry Ellis, Halston, Keith Haring, Tina Chow, Robert Mapplethorpe, Cookie Mueller, Jean-Michel Basquiat and, on a lighter note, Cornelia Guest, Madonna and Pia Zadora.
Despite this book's heft -- 513 images in 400-plus pages -- it is as intimate, loving and ultimately heart-rending as Warhol's diaries of the same era are disconnected and emotionless, if only because, in many cases, you are looking into the smiling faces of the dead.Continue reading the main story

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries last month received board authority to offer to potential customers the proposed MRJ regional jets, powered by an engine line known as the Geared Turbofan under development by Pratt & Whitney. Mitsubishi has begun formal talks about possible collaboration with Boeing on the project, scheduled for industrial launch by the end of March.
Meanwhile, the company plans to conduct "robust" marketing activities, negotiate details with potential partners, establish a sales finance program and develop an operational structure. Mitsubishi continues to deliberate over the possibility of establishing a new division to oversee development, manufacture and marketing of the pair of airplanes, expected to carry 70 and 90 passengers, respectively, in standard airline configurations.
The MRJ design arose from studies conducted by Mitsubishi in cooperation with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. The 90-seat version, scheduled for certification first, by 2012, would measure 117.5 feet long and feature the same 101.4-foot wingspan planned for the 70-seater. Mitsubishi plans to build the 9.5-foot-diameter cylindrical fuselage out of composites it helped develop for the Boeing 787 and use fly-by-wire flight controls.
Perhaps most notably, the airplanes could well present Pratt & Whitney with its first application for its Geared Turbofan (GTF). The technology centers on a gearbox just behind the main fan that allows it to operate independent of the low-pressure compressor and turbine, resulting in a 12-percent fuel burn reduction and a lower fan speed for less noise. Pratt & Whitney has spent more than $1 billion on the project over the past 20 years, including $12 million on a facility in Middletown, Conn., dedicated to testing the fan drive gear system.
Pratt & Whitney plans to begin full-scale ground testing on a 30,000-pound-thrust GTF demonstrator this month and flight testing some time near the middle of next year. Meanwhile, the company continues work with Germany's MTU Aero Engines on a scalable common engine core technology for airplanes ranging in capacity from 90 to 200 passengers. The common core components include development of a new high-pressure compressor and high-speed, low-spool turbine technologies.
Targeting maximum takeoff weights of 89,500 pounds for the MRJ70LR and 94,100 pounds for the MRJ90LR, Mitsubishi will need an engine capable of producing 14,500 pounds of thrust for the 70-seater and 17,100 pounds for the 90-seater.
Design targets place range at 2,110 nm for the MRJ70LR and 1,790 nm for the MRJ90LR, cruise speed for both airplanes at Mach 0.78 and takeoff field lengths at 5,640 feet and 5,810 feet.
