Volvo Car Group Reveals World-class Safety And Support Features That Will Be Introduced In The All-new XC90 In 2014
GOTHENBURG, Sweden, July 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Volvo Car Group reveals a number of user-friendly safety and support technologies that will be introduced in the all-new Volvo XC90 at the end of 2014.
"We are introducing the first Volvos with autonomous steering to avoid accidents and make driving more comfortable," says Thomas Broberg, Senior Safety Advisor Volvo Car Group.
To view the Multimedia News Release, please click:
http://www.multivu.com/mnr/61938-volvo-car-reveals-safety-support-features-XC90 The new technologies for the upcoming Volvo XC90 will be tested by a number of international media representatives this summer. The technologies are • Pedestrian Detection in darkness. A world first that makes the detection and auto brake technology work effectively also when driving in darkness. The technology includes detection and auto brake for other vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. • Road edge and barrier detection with steer assist. A feature that detects if the car is about to drive off the road and autonomously applies steering torque to bring the vehicle back on track. Being able to monitor where the physical road ends is a world first. This means that the technology also works on roads without side markings. • Adaptive Cruise Control with steer assist. A technology that helps the driver stay in the lane and follow the rhythm of the traffic. The new system automatically follows the vehicle ahead. "When the first XC90 was introduced in 2002, it featured a number of groundbreaking safety features, including a world-first solution that helps prevent rollovers. By revealing a number of systems for the next generation XC90 we once again confirm our leadership in automotive safety," says Thomas Broberg. Collision mitigation for animals is a world first that detects and automatically brakes for animals both in daylight and in the dark. The technology, which is designed to help the driver avoid accidents or reduce the speed of impact, will be introduced some time after the all-new XC90 arrives by the end of 2014.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Yankee Stadium, Bronx, New York
NEW YORK (AP) -- Mariano Rivera was on the ropes, and the Boston Red Sox were poised to earn a memorable comeback victory.
That's when the New York Yankees closer found his classic form again.Rivera pitched himself in and out of trouble Saturday, escaping a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the ninth inning and preserving a 2-1 victory."You can't have doubts," Rivera said. "You have to make pitches. If you have doubts, a lot of things can happen."After Mike Mussina pitched six shutout innings, Rivera took over in the ninth with a 2-0 lead. The Red Sox quickly scored a run and were poised to get more, but Rivera struck out Coco Crisp, got Jason Varitek on a popup and fanned Julio Lugo for his 23rd save."We gave ourselves a great chance with really good at-bats in the ninth and then Mariano went to work and really carved us up for three batters," Boston manager Terry Francona said. "He gave himself no wiggle room and he didn't need it."The Red Sox were on the brink of capturing the first three of the four-game series and fourth in a row in the season series when Rivera escaped."It was a big game for us," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.Melky Cabrera and Brett Gardner, two of New York's three healthy outfielders, each drove in a run and made a nice play in the field. Cabrera had an RBI single in the second and Gardner's sacrifice fly made it 2-0 in the sixth.Justin Masterson (4-3) hit three batters, threw a wild pitch and walked two, but managed to hold the Yankees in check in his six innings. The rookie right-hander allowed six hits in his first appearance against New York.Dustin Pedroia went 2-for-4 to extend his hitting streak to 13 games for Boston, which almost dealt the Yankees a heartbreaking loss."When you get bases loaded and nobody out, most of the time we're still playing," Francona said.Mussina (11-6) allowed four hits and walked one in his first win over the Red Sox since June 5, 2006. He was 0-3 with a 7.71 ERA in his previous six games against Boston.Mussina has won 10 of his last 14 starts and his 11 wins are his most before the All-Star break since he went 12-3 in the first half in 2002. His latest effort came in front of Francona, who will manage the AL in the All-Star game at Yankee Stadium on July 15, but Mussina wasn't interested in lobbying on the eve of the rosters announcement."There are a lot of guys who deserve to go, a lot more than there are spots in both leagues," he said. "You could make a whole other team."Jose Veras and Kyle Farnsworth each worked a perfect inning to set up Rivera, who hit two batters in a game for the first time in his career. He also allowed a run in a save situation for the first time this season."It definitely was interesting," Rivera said. "You definitely don't want to get into that situation but it happens. You just have to deal with it."Boston's first four batters reached and Mike Lowell's RBI single cut it to 2-1. Crisp's strikeout was the 900th of Rivera's career, but it was Varitek who was really kicking himself after the game."He's Mariano Rivera, but in that situation I've got to do something more," said Varitek, who popped out on a 2-0 pitch.Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez was hit three times, tying the major league record, and the teams combined for seven hit batsmen total, matching a modern big league mark, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.The Yankees, who have scored two runs or fewer in five of their past seven games, took the lead in the second inning. With two outs and Jason Giambi on first, Robinson Cano lined a single into center field and Cabrera grounded Masterson's next pitch into right.J.D. Drew came up throwing but Giambi got his left hand on the back edge of the plate with a nifty slide past Varitek.New York loaded the bases in the third but Masterson struck out Giambi and Pedroia made a nice play on Wilson Betemit's grounder to end the inning. Kevin Youkilis also snared Giambi's liner up the first-base line with two outs and a runner on third in the fifth.Mussina got some help from his defense, too. Gardner threw out Pedroia trying to stretch a first-inning single to left, and Cabrera made a diving catch in center to take a hit away from Lowell with a runner on first and no outs in the fourth.Jose Molina, who threw out three Red Sox baserunners trying to steal second in Boston's 6-4 win Friday, cut down speedy Jacoby Ellsbury trying to swipe second in the fifth.New York played without outfielder Johnny Damon, who injured his left shoulder trying to haul in Youkilis' triple in Saturday's loss. Damon lost Youkilis' drive when he crashed into the left-field fence, and the ball rested on the fence briefly before rolling back onto the field.Damon said he felt better and would know more Sunday about whether he can avoid going on the disabled list for the first time in his 14-season major league career.Game notes
Francona on picking the team for the All-Star Game: "I think we owe it to the players for it to be agonizing, and it has been." ... Yankees C Jorge Posada got the day off. Girardi said Posada wasn't feeling well, hampered by a cold that's going around the team. ... Girardi said OF Hideki Matsui (left knee) probably will be evaluated on Tuesday. ... Seen in the crowd: Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash and talk show host Jerry Springer.

Slow growth made in Eritrea's mobile sector
This report provides a comprehensive overview of trends and developments in Eritrea's telecommunications market. Subjects covered include:
Under a state-owned monopoly on fixed and mobile services, Eritrea is the least developed telecommunications market in Africa with a mobile penetration of only around 6% in early 2014. Only the Internet Service Provider (ISP) sector is open to competition. Growth in the mobile and internet sector is showing some promise as the national telco, the Eritrean Telecommunication Services Corporation (EriTel) rolls out a third generation (3G) mobile network, but more investment in telecom infrastructure is needed. As an initial step, Eritreans were given the opportunity to buy shares in EriTel for the first time in 2013.
Foreign investment and the introduction of more competition would transform this virtually untapped market. Eritrea was ranked first among the Top Five African markets for ICT investment in 2012. The country's economy is poised for a boom from mining which was recently opened to foreign participation, offering attractive incentives to investors.

The mountains and high plains of extreme northeastern Oregon are so far from well-traveled freeways that even most Oregonians have never been to this wilderness area where the sky seems close enough to touch. These are the "Oregon Alps." Serious outdoorsmen and those with family ties to Wallowa County follow the thin red lines on the map that promise at most only "paved highways," up and up through the mountains from Pendleton or La Grande. The summits are more than five thousand feet high, and then the roads descend through tiny villages whose buildings are mostly gray shadows of their former incarnations, tumbled with old-fashioned perennials and weeds, fading storefronts and little churches with peeling paint: Adams, Athena, Elgin, Minam, Wallowa, Lostine. Near the end of the road is Enterprise -- the county seat -- and finally the hamlet called Joseph, named for the great chief of the Nez Percé tribe. All these towns, so far-flung from city lives, have a presence and a feeling of serenity that comes only with long history and time without urgency.
Enterprise and Joseph blossom in the summer as tourists who have discovered Wallowa County arrive. Sheltered between the Wallowa Mountains to the west and the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area to the east, Enterprise, population 1,900, is a wonderful place to live, but only if one is self-employed, working for the county or the city, or serving the needs of the residents. It is too distant from the larger Oregon cities along the coast or in the center of the state to make commuting feasible. The only industry of any sort is up the road eight miles, in Joseph. Perched on the shore of Wallowa Lake, Joseph has embraced sculpture and bronze foundries as a very successful economic lifeline; every street corner has a statue that seems to burst with life frozen in mid-movement -- maidens and cowboys and eagles in flight -- each statue large enough to require a truck to pack it out.
In the summer, Wallowa Lake is a burning hollow in the mountains, with its azure water reflecting the sun and the sky. The water there is cold, but not cold enough to deter boaters and water-skiers, who seem somehow out of place on the waters where Native Americans once fished. The mountains and the soaring trees have always been there and will always be there; the humans playing on the lake seem, in contrast, quite temporary.
Deer wander at will in Joseph, strolling along the narrow roads, peering into windows, and mingling with tourists at food stands and riding stables. A lift carries tourists who aren't afraid of heights far up the Wallowa Range. Flowers of every variety burst forth in the short summer season, boldly defiant against winter for their precious few months in the sun.
The center of Wallowa County government is in Enterprise, where a courthouse built in 1909 sits in the center of parklike grounds. Ninety-four years' worth of feet have worn away the interior stairways as generations of citizens went about their business with public records and the laws of Wallowa County. Bright greenswards and paths crisscross the courthouse square, and baskets of trailing geraniums, ivy, and sweet alyssum make it resemble a set for The Music Man. There are concerts in the bandstand on the courthouse lawn, and the melodies floating on a summer's night are nostalgic enough to sting the eye with tears.
In 2000, Dan Ousley was the district attorney of Wallowa County. He was a familiar presence before judges and juries in the courthouse in Enterprise. But he was well into his second term in office before he ever had to deal with a murder that wasn't an open-and-shut case. And when he did have to prosecute a baffling homicide, it was a case that would have challenged prosecutors in Portland or Seattle or San Francisco, a crime that defied all reason, one that could be viewed straight on or through a microscope, and even then failed to reveal all its incredible variables.
Was the victim ultimately answerable for the bloody crime? Or was the accused capable of a meticulously choreographed execution? And perhaps even more important, who was the person who had held the weapon? There seemed to be a dozen different answers, and no way of telling if the personality shown to the world was truly the one almost everyone had perceived. Or was it all a clever masquerade, hiding evil?
It isn't easy to get to the camping sites on the Lostine River near the Maxwell Campgrounds trailhead that leads mountain hikers into the Eagle Cap Wilderness. To reach the campgrounds, one has to turn off Route 82 and head south from the town of Lostine. The first six or seven miles are partially paved, but that soon gives way to a gravel road. Even a four-wheel drive vehicle skitters along the washboard road that carves a path through the trees, the road so high-centered that it is a challenge for even the most competent drivers. It isn't a Sunday sight-seeing drive; one misjudged stomp on the brakes and a car or truck can slide and roll over and over.
Twelve miles or so from Lostine, fir forests cluster thickly along the road. On the right, there are a few cabins that were once occupied by the late United States Supreme Court justice William O. Douglas when he craved the solace of deep wilderness. They are spartan and overgrown now with brush. On the same side of the road, there is a forest ranger station -- usually the last outpost where a phone of any kind will work. Beyond that, the Wallowas rise up and up, shutting off radio and cell phone transmission. In this tunnel of trees, it is impossible not to think of the danger of forest fires and wonder how quickly this road could be closed off by flames.
Almost twenty miles in, just before the trailhead, thin rutted paths begin to appear, wide enough apart for tires to traverse. They lead to campgrounds, maintained by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, that are situated so each camping party has privacy. Much sought after in the warm months, the riverside campgrounds are empty in winter, buried beneath snowdrifts, next to a river as cold and clear as ice.
On a weekday morning in the autumn of 2000, most outdoorsmen who enjoyed hiking had gone back to civilization. More so than in many other places, October brought the empty sense that comes with a season's ending. It would be only a matter of weeks before the road in -- or out -- would be choked with snow.
If anyone was camping in early October, their vehicles parked close to the river campsites were nearly invisible from the road. Campers could drive at least seventy-five feet off the main road before they reached the horizontal tree trunk barriers that delineated parking spots. Trees and shadows hid their rigs, and from there, they had only to walk down an easy slope to the sandy shores of the Lostine River.
The Lostine itself is narrow, not more than forty feet or so across, shallow and crystalline with little ladders of rapids frothed with white. It is an icy cold river, stemming from alpine lakes high in the mountains. A storm runoff from the mountains has occasionally turned the Lostine dangerous, but in October it is usually a tranquil upstart of a river two or three feet deep at the most, surrounded by sentry rows of fir trees standing perfectly straight, their feathered tops piercing the sky hundreds of feet above.
It was early Monday afternoon, October 9, 2000, and the Shady Campground -- one of the closest to the trailhead -- appeared to be unoccupied. There were no sounds at all, save for the wind high in the trees and the occasional cry of a bird. For the moment, it was totally silent in the deserted camping area next to the winding Lostine River.
Rich Stein was the undersheriff of Wallowa County. He had been involved in law enforcement for eighteen years, and he had worked in the Wallowa County Sheriff's Office for fourteen and a half of those years. He was hoping to become sheriff the next month through a flourishing write-in campaign. Sheriff Ron Jett didn't plan to run again.
Stein halfway believed that he was on a wild-goose chase as he drove slowly along the gravel road close to the trailhead. He wasn't quite sure what he was looking for, a lost camper or someone who was injured. Sheriff Jett had sent him up to the campgrounds after Jett received a couple of phone calls from outside the county.
"I want you to go on up to the trailhead -- maybe check things out along the river, see if anybody is there," Jett had said. "I'm not sure what you might find...."
Stein wasn't really familiar with the campgrounds. His primary job was to oversee the deputies and run the patrol, but in Wallowa County, even the undersheriff had to pull shifts and work patrol. Sheriff Jett had told him to check out all of the overnight campgrounds. Stein thought there were about a dozen of them nestled down by the river. The one he thought was the last campsite was the Williamson Campground, and he drove in, parked, and walked down to the sandy beach but found no one there.
Stein estimated that the area he was searching was about eighteen miles from the town of Lostine. He couldn't raise anyone on his sheriff's radio, so he drove back along the forest road until he came to a high spot where his radio worked. He thought that maybe if he could get a little better idea of what he was looking for, he could be more effective. He called the Sheriff's Office, and Jett said that the latest information indicated that it was probably the Shady Campground he should check out. "It's the last one down the line."
This time, Jett's voice was more serious. It was possible that Stein was looking for a person who was critically wounded. He passed a campground and saw a lone car parked there. He checked that and found nobody in or near it. Now he could see there was another campsite. He glanced toward the sign marking it as SHADY CAMPGROUND and saw a newer model white Chevy Suburban parked against the log barrier.
Stein pulled his pickup close to that vehicle. Like a lot of cops who have ridden patrol cars for years, he had a bad back, and he winced a little as he eased out of his truck and crossed the uneven ground to look into the Suburban. He could see that the locks were pushed down. Inside, there was camping gear and other items, the usual stuff that people brought up to the wilderness -- but there was no sign of a driver.
The Forest Service's picnic table just beyond the Suburban had camping equipment on it, too. It looked as though a family had enjoyed a picnic. "I walked over there and called out -- announcing that I was a deputy sheriff," Stein recalled. "And I was shouting, 'Is there anyone around?' But there was no response."
There was a tent pitched nearby, but there was no movement inside, and no answer to his calls.
Two trails led down to the river, one shorter and steeper than the other, although neither demanded that a hiker be in good condition. Stein took the shorter trail that went straight down. Even though he knew there was probably a simple explanation for his feeling of dread, he acknowledged the eerie sensation. He shook it off; the people who had come here in the Suburban were probably just taking a short hike from the trailhead. An empty vehicle wasn't unusual.
And then he glanced to the south and caught a glimpse of bright blue fabric spread out down by the river. It was a sleeping bag.
"I yelled again," Stein recalled. "No response."
Gingerly, Stein walked down toward the river, his boots sinking and skidding a little in the sand.
The sun was high in the sky and it cut through the mist in the treetops, casting a glow over the sleeping bag. It was bright enough to awaken even the heaviest sleeper. The mummy-style bag lay at right angles to the river, with the "head" part almost touching a log the Forest Service had placed there just where the sandy beach began. The shallow edges of the Lostine lapped softly against its shoreline. Otherwise, it was completely quiet.
Stein called out again, more softly now, "Anybody here? Sheriff's office..."
Nobody answered. As he got closer, Stein could tell that there was somebody in the sleeping bag. "I approached it very cautiously," he said. He wasn't afraid. And it wasn't as if he hadn't investigated reports of a possible body before; it was more that this was one of the loneliest places he had ever been.
The form zipped into the sleeping bag was as motionless as the scattered boulders on the shore. Stein saw tufts of hair just above the one ear that showed. Either it was reddish blond naturally or something had stained it pale mahogany. He thought it was probably blood or some other dark liquid, although the sleeping bag wasn't stained as far as Stein could see.
At this altitude, in October even the glaring sun wouldn't warm the air in the shadows enough to make a sleeper perspire and peel down the confining layers. But maybe the person who lay there was no longer able to unzip the sleeping bag and crawl out. Maybe the person had fallen and sustained a head injury. Or maybe someone had struck the still form on the head while the camper was sleeping -- or passed out.
Had someone abandoned the sleeper and the camp in the scenic wilderness deliberately? Or had the camper come alone to this small cleared area high in the mountains to get away from the problems of the world, possibly never intending to go back? Was it an accident -- or a homicide? It was so isolated in the Shady Campground that it would have been a long time before hunters chanced on the scene and discovered whatever had happened here. And if a sudden early blizzard came -- as it often did in Wallowa County -- it might have been spring before anyone came in.
Except for the blond hair stiff with blood, and a folding chair tilted at an odd angle in the river, the campsite had an almost benign air.
Stein slipped his hand carefully into the sleeping bag, still hoping that he'd discovered only a drunk sleeping it off. He touched skin and found it cold as marble. He pressed against the flesh just below the ear, searching for the reassuring beat of blood pulsing through the carotid artery.
But there was none.
Stein chose the gently sloping trail back to the picnic area and returned to his pickup truck. He couldn't take the steep route back because he didn't want to walk through the death scene again. It was only when he slid into the driver's seat that he realized he didn't know if it was a man or a woman who lay dead in the sleeping bag.
The undersheriff hadn't touched anything beyond the cold flesh of the neck, and he wasn't going to, not until the sheriff had a complete crew on the scene. Assuming that his radio wouldn't work, Stein drove a mile south to the trailhead. There was an open spot there where he thought he might be able to get through to the Sheriff's Office, but his radio wouldn't work there either. Once more he drove two miles north past the Shady Campground and tried again.
This time he got through.
"Sheriff," Stein said hurriedly, "I need you up here. We do have a body. We need the medical examiner and a lot of help up here."
The calls that had originally sent Rich Stein up to the Shady Campground had come in to Sheriff Ron Jett from two law enforcement officers who were some distance away from Wallowa County -- one in Washington State and another in Umatilla, Oregon, on the Oregon-Washington state line. The details were blurry, but the callers said they had been in contact with a woman who suggested that someone should check the Maxwell Campgrounds. Either the woman had been there or she knew something about what had happened there.
At the moment, she was far away, at least a four-hour drive from the shore of the Lostine River. She was in the little town of Dayton, Washington, thirty miles north of Walla Walla, the site of Washington's oldest penitentiary. Barely holding herself together, she had told a number of people about how she had driven through the night, fleeing desperately to save the life of her three-year-old son.
Her story was still coming out in staccato bursts and vague ramblings. Clearly, the woman was upset, although she wasn't hysterical. The drive north from the Lostine River would have been perilous from the beginning. Just getting down to the town of Lostine in the middle of the night without spinning out was a feat. After that, there was no way out of the Oregon Alps without crossing mountain passes where the air was thin and the roads pitch-dark and lonely. For a woman afraid and in shock, it would have been a nightmare. If she had gone by way of Pendleton on 204, she would have had to cross "Dead Man's Pass," with an altitude of 4,200 feet. But it was likely that she had taken a more direct route through Weston and Milton-Freewater, and then crossed the state line into Washington and up to Walla Walla.
State Route 204 was more than a mile high at the summit, an unbelievably beautiful vista in daylight in October. But the woman had fled in the middle of the night. She would have seen nothing alongside the road, only a black void that, depending on where she was, could be either a forest or a deadly precipice.
It was all the more treacherous because she had had her small son with her as she hurtled through the night. Her damp clothing -- or perhaps something else -- must have made her shiver. Her young son was safe, but she told Washington lawmen that she had been determined to get to her other son, who was nine years old, to be sure he was safe, too. If she had allowed herself to think about the horror she had left behind, she wouldn't have been able to keep her SUV on the road.
If any woman could have managed it, she could. She was a slender woman with strong muscles and a body as sleek as any model's, an athlete who worked out and practiced yoga. She was very determined and unafraid of anything when it came to her boys. She would have died for them without even considering any threat to herself. Her friends, scattered from Hawaii to Oregon to the East Coast, considered her a kind of superwoman -- perfect mother, exceptional athlete, talented writer, and a friend they could always count on. But now it was she who would have to depend on her friends.
Her name was Liysa Ann DeWitt Moran Mattson Northon. Thirty-eight years old, she had already lived an adventurous and remarkable life.
The people Liysa trusted the most lived in Washington State, and it wasn't surprising she had run to them. Sometime in the early hours of Monday, October 9, 2000, she had headed north, crossed over the Oregon-Washington border between 6:30 and 7:00 A.M., and driven to her brother's house in Walla Walla.
Dr. Jon Keith "Tor" DeWitt was a chiropractor, specializing in sports medicine. Short and stocky, he was a bodybuilder, probably more fit than most of the athletes he worked on. He was Liysa's only sibling, a few years younger than she was. Divorced and living with his children in a house that was three blocks off the main route to Dayton through Walla Walla, DeWitt was a man of careful habits. He usually got up at 6:00 a.m., and he was in the kitchen, just beginning to swallow his morning regimen of vitamins, when he was surprised to hear the unlocked sliding door open. He turned, startled, and saw that his sister, Liysa, had come into the dark kitchen.
"We talked for a few minutes before I saw her face," he recalled. It appeared to him that she had been "beat up." Looking at Liysa closely, he saw a cut on one finger and a bruise on her "third thoracic vertebra." She was wearing sweatpants and a shirt, and they were damp. Her hair was wet, too.
DeWitt urged his sister to go to the emergency room at St. Mary's Hospital, but she declined, saying she would rather have Dr. Ben Clark, the husband of Marni Clark -- one of her best friends -- examine her. For some reason, her brother didn't think it was a good idea to involve the Clarks. "Just go to St. Mary's," he suggested again.
Liysa didn't seem to be that badly hurt, and DeWitt had to get to work. He had seen her with bruises before and heard through a third party that her husband, Chris, had put them there. But when he said he wanted to confront Chris about it, Liysa had begged him not to. Now he assumed that Chris was the one who had hit her. She had told him another time that Chris was sometimes violent with her.
Almost offhandedly, Liysa murmured something about "taking a shot" at Chris.
"Did you hit him?" DeWitt asked, alarmed.
"I don't know," she said vaguely.
Liysa told her brother that she had to hurry to pick up Papako -- her nine-year-old son -- from Ellen Duveaux's house. "Bjorn's sleeping in my Explorer," she said. "I have to get to Ellen's."
Somewhat bemused, DeWitt said good-bye to his sister, but urged her to call him and let him know how she was. She had been with him for only a few minutes, and he wondered if she hadn't been exaggerating when she said she'd taken a shot at Chris. He left for work, concerned, but not really anxious. Liysa could wax very dramatic about things that wouldn't disturb most people.
It was so early in the morning; the sun had barely risen when Liysa had pulled up at his place. It wasn't seven o'clock yet and now she was gone, headed for the Duveaux farm in Dayton.
Ellen Duveaux and Liysa had been friends in Walla Walla since Liysa DeWitt was only sixteen and still in high school. Ellen was eleven years older than Liysa, but they'd always gotten along well. Much of Walla Walla County was fertile farmland, known worldwide for its "Walla Walla Sweets," gourmet onions, but also a major source of other crops and fine wine. Liysa and Ellen had spent summers bringing in the mature produce, mostly peas. Liysa had driven the swather, wrestling the heavy vehicle as easily as any man, while Ellen drove the pea combine.
Ellen was married to Francois-Louis Duveaux, whose name sounded like a romantic French actor's, but who was a really down-to-earth man who loved the verdant soil of Walla Walla County. They had a wheat ranch and a good life in the tiny town of Dayton, Washington, even though it wasn't the most exciting spot on earth.
Liysa had wanted another life after she left Walla Walla High School. She planned to be a world traveler and adventuress, but she had deferred to her father's wish that she go to college first.
Ellen loved Liysa and sometimes felt protective toward her; Liysa longed for so much that she seemed to take terrible chances with her heart. The twenty-three years they'd known each other had gone by swiftly, but the two women had remained friends. Even though years might pass when they were out of touch, they always picked up right where they'd left off.
After a long time apart, they'd gotten back together in the early nineties and saw each other once a year or so. Liysa always had some amazing story to tell. Sometimes it was about a doomed romance or a close escape she had had, but more often it was about various wonderful new plans she'd made.
Ellen often lost track of Liysa, but she knew that she'd hear from her eventually. She didn't know all the details of her past. She wasn't really sure just how many times Liysa had been married.
But she had always found Liysa to be tough and strong yet very warm and caring at the same time. Petite as she was, Liysa could compete with any man in what was considered "man's work." Ellen was an artist, using stained glass as her medium, and she was very good, working in her home studio and teaching talented students. Liysa was a constant traveler, and to Ellen, she seemed remarkably brave -- no matter what life handed her. Ellen wasn't aware of everything Liysa had done while they were apart but she suspected she didn't know half of her accomplishments.
It was about 7:30 on that smoky-bright Monday October morning in Dayton, and Francois-Louis Duveaux was about to leave for work when he called to Ellen that Liysa had just parked her SUV and it was blocking his car. Ellen had expected her -- but not this early.
At Liysa's request, Papako Mattson, who was Liysa's son by an earlier marriage, had spent Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday with the Duveauxs. Liysa had called Ellen to tell her that she and her present husband, Chris Northon, and their three-year-old son, Bjorn, would be camping on the Lostine River down in Oregon that weekend. But Papako loved working with Ellen. Very talented artistically, he had chosen to come to Dayton to have some glass lessons from Ellen rather than go on the camping trip. Ellen agreed at once; Papako, nine, was a delightful child, and he was welcome at the Duveaux house anytime.
Liysa had driven all the way from Bend, Oregon, where she and Chris had a home, to deliver Papako to Ellen on Friday night. It was a very long drive, more than three hundred miles one way. She had spent the night, and then she and Bjorn left on Saturday morning to join Chris at the campsite on the Lostine River. She said she would be back on Monday to get Papako.
Now it was Monday and Liysa had returned. She moved her Ford Explorer and then walked slowly up to the back entrance of the house. Ellen was horrified when she saw her standing there, "wet and beaten up."
When Ellen sensed that Liysa was in deep distress, she rushed to help her. As she would recall later, Liysa's hair looked as though she'd just toweled it dry after a shower, but her clothes were so wet that when Ellen hugged her, she got wet, too. "She was pretty messed up, vacant, glazed eyes, spacey -- in shock," Ellen recalled.
"Why are you all wet?" she asked, but she didn't really get an answer. It seemed to her that Liysa's arm was hanging at a funny angle.
"I need help getting Bjorn out of the Explorer," Liysa pleaded. "My shoulder's injured and I can't seem to lift him out."
Ellen hurried behind Liysa to the SUV and lifted the sleeping toddler easily out of his car seat. Liysa looked as though she was hypothermic, and her teeth were chattering. That wasn't unusual for her; Liysa was always cold, even in Hawaii, where she lived half the time. She had Raynaud's disease, too, and her fingers turned bluish purple with the least drop in temperature.
Ellen's eyes searched Liysa's face. Her friend seemed so distraught, so injured. She had a swollen cheek, a slight bruise near her eye, and an arm or shoulder that appeared to be broken.
"Chris tried to kill me," Liysa burst out. "Chris tried to kill me...."

Almost every book I have researched has had a beginning, a middle, and an end that were obvious when I began. By the time the defendant went to trial, his -- or her -- guilt appeared to be well established. There was little question that a sudden death might have been an accident or a suicide. There was no particular mystery about "who-dunnit?" Although loyal family members might have been in one corner or another, the mass of witnesses were testifying against the defendant.
In Heart Full of Lies, I found instead an emotional tug-of-war with dozens of people pulling on the victim's side and as many fiercely loyal to the accused. To this day, most of their allegiances have remained steadfast. Initially, I was puzzled that anyone could find the deceased so flawed and the defendant so angelic. Few human beings are either all good or all bad. The only way I have managed to deal with this impasse has been to show both sides as clearly as possible.
Still, in the end, the truth began to sift out of a morass of statements. I've noted that correspondence sent to me anonymously came from those who praised the defendant. They would give neither their names nor their positions in the defendant's life. On the other hand, the friends of the person who died were ready to step forward and give me their names and their connection to this case.
It is difficult to place your trust in people who hide in the shadows of anonymity. Did you personally see this happen? I asked again and again, trying to cut through the curtain that email with its endless choice of screen names affords. Could this have been an accident? And the answer was always No.
Then how do you know what happened? I pressed.
I just know, they all answered, either because they were absolutely convinced they were right or because they had been charmed and bewitched and manipulated by a brilliant and charismatic sociopath.

I've read this book multiple times, and I'm still amazed at the lies and deceit that Liysa Northon crafted and told to everyone. To this day, she still proclaims her innocence, claiming self defense. Her father, who I don't know if he's in denial or just as crazy as Liysa, still stands behind her and has posted a negative review of this book on another popular site. You will read this book from cover to cover, and then read it again. What amazes me is that this woman has supporters, people that believe she's innocent! She led everyone to believe that her husband Chris was an abusive monster, when in reality, Liysa Northon is the monster. Ann Rule does a great job of writing this story and giving the victim, Chris Northon, and his family a voice. A definite must read!

This book was excellent. I hardly stopped reading it until finished. Ann Rule captures the very essence of the main characters and develops all aspects of their personality. I highly recommend it.

This was the saddest and cruelest example of a selfish woman who cared nothing about the life of others. I bought this book to read while I ran on the treadmill and I read the whole book in 2 days. I just couldnt stop, I had to know what happened.

This book is a real page-turner, one of Rule's best. Lisa Northon, who murdered her husband after maliciously trying to paint him as a violent brute, is a grand manipulator. She callously destroyed many lives and this is a chilling portrait of a woman who had everything except a soul.

Since most spousal killers tend to be men, it might be even more interesting to learn about the mind and motives of a woman killer, especially one who already seems to have it all. Heart Full of Lies delivers with a woman who at the center of this tragedy seems to have it all, but is never satisfied enough; confident, driven, self-centered, she plans to get away with murder. The setting of Hawaii is exotic, and the characters at times seem like they could be seen in National Geographic type shows, but their inner struggles and human failties are all too real.

I enjoyed the book but it was slow, too many characters, and hard to follow at times due to repeating of things. i did enjoy the character of Lysa though there are many people in this world just like her....except they luckily don't go as far as she did to get what she wanted.

I've read and enjoyed every one of her books EXCEPT this one. I found myself skimming over the pages. It is boring and uninteresting.

Fascinating story - I went back and re-read portions to try to get a handle on this malicious woman. Women who manufacture domestic abuse claims are as evil as men who perpetrate them. No doubt both sides will argue to the end of time what the truth of the abuse claims were, but you can't escape the fact that this woman was an intelligent, well supported woman who had other routes available to her in the event that her version was true, it is unfortunate for her that she told so many lies in her life and documented them, and entirely her fault that now she is judged by them. Clearly suffering from personality disorders galore.
I don't say that the book is brilliant - I just personally found it fascinating to read about this woman who says she stands up for domestic abuse, yet in fact has done the cause an enormous disservice. I pity the poor fool who she has married!
If you are interested in personality disorders and fantasists, this is an interesting book from that standpoint.

He soared over the forest, his true colors revealed now that he is no longer hidden my cover of darkness. His black scales shone brightly in the early sunlight, and his long fangs gleamed. His large black wings brought him to greater hights in the clear blue sky. Wingfury dived, landing in the middle of a clearing. He folded his ragged wings over his back and made his way back to camp. ~ Wingfury

This is the 3rd book of Ann Rule that I have read, this is the best book I've read so far by her. The story is touching, sad, and unthinkable. This is a must read book. After reading Small Sacrifices I really didn't know if i wanted to read another book by Ann, but I had purchased both books at the same time and I'm so glad i did. This book has made me a fan of her work again. Loved it.

Heart Full of Lies, is great reading, and very captivating. A book, hard to put down. I'd compare it to 'In Cold Blood', and is deemed to be a classic.

I have read all of Ann's books and enjoyed them. This however is not one of her better works. To much repeating and repeating over and over again. Also to many charaters, maybe 50 or more. This work would have been a great short story of 100 pages or less. I'ts at best a drag.

very good pancake syrup

It's thicker than most of the other sugar-free pancake syrups and has a nice maple flavor to it which isn't too strong and doesn't taste artificial. We also use it in recipes where the ingredients call for regular maple syrup -- such as pumpkin spice bread -- and have had good results; for example, if the recipe calls for 1/4 cup of maple syrup, I substitute 1/4 cup of this product.

100% maple syrup tastes best, but unfortunately all that sugar doesn't agree with me. Walden Farms is one of the only brands available to me that doesn't use a sweetener ending in -ol (e.g. sorbitol, erythritol, etc.). This is great since I am on a low FODMAP diet and avoiding polyols. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it's on the runny side.

Inventor and designer Oliver Show belives that there just isn't enough public seating in Hamburg, Germany. So instead of complaining and whining about it he took it upon himself to come up with a simple solution to one of lifes most annoying problems. With the help of bright colored and inexpensive padded piping Mr.Show created playful seating all around the city using pre-existing structures as support. The result is a fun and playful take on one of a kind urban furniture that makes us think "why didn't I come up with that." (via)

We've been long time fans of Wendell Gladstone's work since we first featured him in Beautiful/Decay Magazine Issue: T. Last week Wendell opened "Cave to the Grave", a solo exhibition of new paintings at Kravets/Wehby Gallery in NYC.
In Cave to the Grave, Wendell Gladstone debuts a new series of paintings that depict the life of a man from his youth through his death. Referencing the allegory of Plato's cave, the story begins with a boy immersed in darkness and continues to trace the boys' life after he emerges from behind the curtain. Gladstone uses a collage sensibility by mining ideas and images to create his own fabricated myths. His paint handling is also diverse, a wide range of techniques are employed from very thick geometric hard edge areas, to subtle mists of airbrush, to organic veils of transparent stained color.
Sex, Drugs, Murder And General Debauchery Staged And Shot In A Beijing Motel Room
As part of our ongoing partnership with Feature Shoot, Beautiful/Decay is sharing Amanda Gorence's article on Chi Lei.
Red Star Motel is the clever, action-packed series by Beijing photographer Chi Lei, "Chili", that reads like an unraveling drama brimming with sex, drugs, murder and chaos. Each scene is set in an identical divey Beijing motel room where Chili supplies us with plenty of voyeuristic moments to witness. The images are linked together through subtle visual clues that have been woven throughout, encouraging the viewer to take part and piece together the story.
Kinetic Ball Bearing Sculpture Imitates Ocean Tide
Grönlund-Nisunen – Unstable Matter – 2013 from Tommi Grönlund-Petteri Nisunen on Vimeo.
Art duo Grönlund-Nisunen (Tommi Grönlund and Petteri Nisunen) have been working together since 1993. Technology, sound and light are the base materials of their work. The artists examine issues such as space and physical phenomena. Their sophisticated installations often play with the physical laws of nature and explore sound and space in a modest, low-tech manner. Originally trained as architects, their examination of urban/social space and nature still makes up a large part of their work. In addition to numerous solo and group exhibitions, they have also completed major commissions in public spaces.
In their new piece titled Unstable Matter, several thousand steel balls have been placed on a 150 x 150 cm large metal surface, which subtly tilts from one side to the other. Depending on the inclination angle, the balls begin to roll to the lower edges, continually forming changing patterns. The natural sound of the steel balls rolling back and forth creates a zen like sound of waves moving in and out of the ocean, reminding us all that life can be calm at one moment and yet shift at any given moment.

Paradise lost: Persia from above
Swiss photographer Georg Gerster undertook a dangerous mission to capture the beauty of Iran from the air on film, sticking his camera out a of a plane to do so
Tuesday 05 April 2011
Pioneer in aerial photography Georg Gerster, who captured stunning images of 1970s Iran from the air, explains how he came to undertake such a perilous and rewarding photographic journey.
A gift such as this is received only once in a lifetime.
Flying on business over Iran, I had been struck by the thought that Persia's natural and cultural landscape was predestined to be viewed from the air, with its salt deserts, gardens like slices of paradise, and waterless wind-sculpted wastelands. Its settlements are textbook examples of architecture without an architect, and the qanats, underground aqueducts, form graphic patterns. The idea of the bird's eye view certainly wasn't incongruous: the Homa, half eagle, half bird of paradise, is a mythical beast of Persian mythology, a harbinger of good fortune. On 12 October 1975 I delivered a letter by hand to the imperial court in Tehran, suggesting that I should produce a book, 'Persia through the eyes of the Homa'.
The response from Tehran was encouraging: Empress Farah expressed a hope that the aerial views of her country would be enriching, both artistically and philosophically. The chief of her private cabinet suggested that the autumn of the coming year would be particularly suitable for taking aerial pictures. I felt that the promise was too vague, however, so I suggested that Empress Farah should appoint a coordinator to oversee the smooth running of the venture. For a while I heard nothing from Tehran. I felt a little uneasy about this silence. Had I lost a unique opportunity? Had I pushed my luck too far? To my great relief, towards the end of December 1975 I had better news: an Iranian acquaintance called me and invited me to come and speak with him. The next morning in Vienna, Dr Ali Asghar Azizi got straight to the point: 'What kind of aeroplane do you want us to buy for you?'
Empress Farah had handed the project over to Iran Air, which was appropriate as the airline uses the mythical Homa as its logo. Dr Azizi, its chief public relations officer, was to be my contact. An aeroplane was not bought for me, but I was given unlimited access to a twin engined Britten-Norman BN 2 'Islander' from the Imperial Aero Club. I undertook all flights with an expert on the region, German archaeologist Dr Dietrich Huff. He would take his seat at the front behind the two pilots, while my position was in the tail of the aircraft, next to a gaping hole where the cargo door normally would be.
My position for taking photographs, half sitting, half lying, couldn't exactly be described as comfortable, but I had an almost clear field of view, with just a hazy marginal vortex caused by the hot exhaust from the engines. There was no sensible way of conversing with my archaeological guide in the cockpit, however – trying to shout over the noise of the engines through the open doorway was of little use. So the captain simply switched off the engines. Thankfully, the 'Islander', with its broad wings, glides to some extent. Nonetheless such conferences over the wilderness of the Iranian desert mountains filled me with terror. The captain was not unaware of this. He would, now and then, simply switch the engines on and off, just for a laugh.
Between 11 April 1976 and 30 May 1978, I made more than a hundred flights, completing 300 flying hours. Our planning took into consideration the change of the seasons, as far as was possible, which brought some wonderful discoveries: spring in the Azarbayjan highlands is one of the most beautiful spectacles this earth has to offer. We wanted to cover every part of the country, which almost overstretched the range and capabilities of our aircraft – it took several attempts to cross the Alborz mountains.
All my pilots were well-trained flyers, although I found one or two of them more inclined to buffoonery than was good for them. The young man who crucified me wantonly by switching off the engines was a particularly mischievous aviator. One time, for fun and simply to show off, he landed on the busy Tehran-Mashhad highway. He was also somewhat lacking in map reading skills: several times he flew us into the Soviet Union. This pilot was due to be questioned over his misdemeanours before an Iranian court martial, but before this could take place, he collided with another aircraft at an air show – a victim of his own fatal penchant for skylarking.
The upheavals in Iran put an end to my photographic flights, and the planned book had to wait thirty years.
'Paradise lost: Persia from above' is at the Wilmotte Gallery at Lichfield Studios in London from 7 April until 20 May 2011, tristanhoare.co.uk

Phil Hare, the Democrat who represents Illinois's seventeenth congressional district, ran unopposed for a second term in 2008. A union man, he's an opponent of free trade who voted Yes for the stimulus, cap-and-trade, and health care bills. In 2008 he earned a 100 percent rating from Americans for Democratic Action, the ACLU, and the public employees union AFSCME. In two elections, Hare has never faced a strong Republican opponent. He's served in Congress during boom times for Democrats. But those days are over.
A November poll conducted by a local news organization found that Hare's reelect number had dropped to below 50 percent -- and large majorities in his district opposed to the liberal program he's voted to enact. On Election Day, he'll face Bobby Schilling, a small businessman who's running his first political campaign. Schilling and Hare have a couple things in common: both attended Black Hawk College and both worked union jobs. But their economic philosophies could not be farther apart.
Schilling wants to curb government spending and encourage entrepreneurial risk taking. He was struck by recent discussions with fellow small-businessmen in his district. "I ran into business owner after business owner who wanted to expand," he told me, "but did not want to take the risk" at a time of economic uncertainty and likely tax increases. He says he wants the voters in his district to understand that a vote for Phil Hare is a vote for Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
It may be a tough sell. The Cook Report says the seat is "Solid Democratic." The 17CD went blue in the last three presidential elections. And Hare's incumbency gives him a fundraising advantage.
Nevertheless, this is exactly the sort of seat that could flip if a powerful anti-incumbent wave gains speed and washes the Democrats out of Congress. And Schilling has a great personal story. He and his wife of 24 years have a Duggar-like 10 children, ranging in age from 23-years- to 1-month-old. He owns a popular Italian restaurant, Saint Giuseppe's Heavenly Pizza in Moline. (Try the Jalapeno Garden Pizza.) Illinois Republican star Aaron Schock will campaign for him in the coming months. Schilling's a fresh face in a time of popular ferment. And Rep. Hare is in his sights. "This guy got a free pass last time," Schilling says. Not in 2010.
The DNC is churning out what seems to be a press release per minute alleging that Republicans are hypocrites for taking stimulus funds for their districts after voting against the stimulus. As Greg Mankiw writes, this is an illogical attack: does that mean Democrats should give back their Bush tax cuts?
Rep. Aaron Schock made the same point after Rachel Maddow accused him of hypocrisy on Meet the Press:
