DANVILLE Most people are unable to identify a single risk factor or warning sign of stroke, yet over 750,000 Americans will be affected by a stroke this year alone. Life Line Screening, in cooperation with Sanctuary Community Action, will be at St. Luke Community Center for the 12th year performing a day of preventive health screenings on Monday, May 6.
Screenings are fast, painless and offered at low cost. They involve the use of ultrasound technology and scan for potential health problems related to: Blocked arteries which can lead to stroke; aortic aneurysms which can lead to a rupture; plaque buildup in the arteries in the legs which is a strong predictor of heart disease; atrial fibrillation or irregular heart beat which is closely tied to stroke risk; and a bone density screening for men and women to assess the risk of osteoporosis.
These non-invasive, inexpensive and painless ultrasound tests help people identify their risk for stroke, vascular diseases or osteoporosis early enough for their physician to begin preventive procedures. Register for a wellness package which includes four vascular tests and osteoporosis screening. There is a fee for this service. Speak with the Life Line Screening representative for more package options. All five screenings take 60 to 90 minutes to complete. Call 1-888-653-6441 for more information and pre-register to schedule an appointment.

Warburton: Brentford are targeting five festive games
6:00am Monday 16th December 2013 in Sport By Stuart Amos
Brentford boss Mark Warburton thanks Bees fans for the reception they gave him on Saturday and is out to repay their support with a very happy Christmas.
The 51-year-old had Jonathan Douglas' injury-time header to thank for a 1-0 win over Oldham Athletic in his first game since his appointment as Uwe Rosler's permanent successor.
The Bees bounced back from a disappointing FA Cup exit at Carlisle United last week to cement third place in the League One table ahead of the busy festive schedule.
Warburton was delighted to see his side extend their nine-match unbeaten league run in the wake of Rosler's exit and the former sporting director is after more over the closing weeks of 2013.
"My big fear was this run of form. It ended with defeat in the cup at Carlisle. Now we're on a new run and have started off well," he said.
"Our target is the five games over the festive period. We're now clear in third and all we can do is go about our business.
"The fans were tremendous. That was new to me, walking out in front of them.
"I can't thank them enough for the welcome and you'll have seen my cheeks flushing.
"I just hope we can deliver the attacking, creative football they want to see."

Miss Anita Bolton, costumed as a domino and C.N. Erwin, costumed as an Indian squaw were awarded the best costumes at last Saturday's masquerade ball held in Quincy. They carried off the honors in the field of some 100 entries representing every character imaginable including simple cowboys and Indians to the ornate member of the Russian ballet.
According to data compiled by Plumas County Assessor H.C. Flournoy, a total of 1,876 motor vehicles are owned and registered by Plumas County residents. Of this, 537 are possessed by real estate property owners and 1450 by persons who have no real estate holdings in Plumas County. Conservativeley, these figures indicate that there is one motor vehicle to every two families within Plumas County.
Letter to the Editor: Herewith my check in the amount of $3.00 in payment for my subscription to the Plumas National-Bulletin for the year 1930. In the Plumas National-Bulletin we have a newspaper that does not try to pull "big town stuff" on a country newspaper. Kindest regards for 1930. Yours truly, a loyal reader.

Remember When
A federal bill was passed this week providing funds for the completion of the North Fork of the Feather River Highway continuation from Quincy to the California-Nevada State border.
W.E. Ward, pioneer California newspaperman, 86, died in Dunsmuir this week. The family settled in Plumas County in 1852 and Ward learned the printers trade in Quincy and later took up the news and editorial end for a number of years and conducted the Plumas National-Bulletin, one of the oldest weekly newspapers in California.

ESCANABA - The Escanaba School Board adopted the district's budget for the fiscal year 2013-14. The action was taken at a budget hearing and meeting held Monday.The board adopted a general fund resolution for the 2013-14 fiscal year that shows revenues of $21,207,728 and expenditures of $21,363,535. This would leave a projected unreserved fund balance on June 30, 2014, of $77,854.
"If you look at the audited fund balance of July 1, 2012, we had $1,283,208," noted Sue Furney, the district's director of business services, during a budget presentation at the meeting. "We are estimating the use of that in 2012-13 of $1,049,547."
This would leave a projected fund balance on June 30, 2013, of $233,661, though a portion of that would be spent to operate during the upcoming school year.
"We're expecting at this point in time to need to use $155,807 (of the general fund) for next year, which would leave $77,854, so we know we have additional reductions or increases in revenue that have to occur as we move forward through the school year," said Furney.
The board unanimously approved the general fund resolution 6-0. Board Secretary Cathy Wilson was absent from the meeting.
Board members also unanimously approved the 2013-14 hot lunch fund resolution, which includes revenues in the amount of $1,170,575 and expenditures totaling $1,234,589. According to Furney, this would leave a projected total fund balance of $23,257 on June 30, 2014, of which $15,000 is the "un-spendable" reserved fund balance - made up of the projected inventory at hand at the end of the year - while the remaining $8,257 makes up the unreserved fund balance.

The show was meh. I like Coby Bell (have since Third Watch) and was surprised to see him on this show. Isn't he dating Telma's character on Half & Half? Anyway, his penny-pinching ways will become tired (if they aren't already). I could do without Wendy Raquel Robinson. Coby's wife was meh. Tia's boyfriend reminds me of Lance from The Best Man with his prayers. Coby's wife is meh. (Oh, wait, I said that). Tia's character has the potential to become annoying. I don't want her to start whining that she gave up John's Hopkins for her boyfriend then start getting upset with him because of it.

Khosla Ventures teams up with Condoleezza RiceDecember 13, 2012: 6:30 AM ET
Condoleezza Rice and her former Bush cabinet colleagues are partnering with venture capital firm Khosla Ventures to provide strategic insights for companies looking to expand into international markets.
By Omar Akhtar, reporter
FORTUNE -- President George W. Bush's foreign policy team is making a comeback of sorts as a business consultancy and it's just landed one of its most high-profile clients.
The consultancy, RiceHadleyGates LLP, headed by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice includes former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and former White House national security advisor Stephen Hadley, and it will provide advisory services for venture capital firm Khosla Ventures.
"All of us at RiceHadleyGates share Khosla Ventures' vision and passion for helping the next generation of entrepreneurs change the world for the better," said Rice in a press release. "We look forward to putting our experience to good use by helping Khosla's impressive portfolio companies navigate the tricky waters of political, policy, and regulatory issues around the world."

Silicon Valley-based Khosla Ventures invests in clean energy and tech startups. Its portfolio includes ZocDoc, AppNexus and VOX Media. Vinod Khosla, founding partner of Khosla Ventures, said, "The RiceHadleyGates team brings vast experience and unique insight to the table, which will extend and elevate our venture assistance model by directly contributing to the operational and strategic success of our portfolio companies."
Khosla's partnership with a team of ex-Bushies may be surprising to some since 86% of his campaign donations since 1996 have gone to the Democratic party. Rice isn't the first political figure to partner with Khosla Ventures, the firm previously employed the services of former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair as an advisor on environmental issues.
Anja Manuel, founding partner at RiceHadleyGates says that while the partners at RHG are known for their foreign policy credentials, they all came from business backgrounds. Manuel, who previously served as special assistant to Nicholas Burns, undersecretary for political affairs at the U.S. Department of State cites her own background in investment banking and Rice's previous positions on the board of Chevron (CVX) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ).

Based in Silicon Valley and Washington D.C., Manuel says the firm helps its tech-focused clientele in its international expansion plans, especially for the Middle East, China, India and Brazil. "We generally advise CEOs and top-level management on how to understand and expand into international markets, helping them overcome national security and public policy challenges," says Manuel. As an example, she says the firm recently helped a client expand into ten different countries in Africa and advised another on navigating India's stringent internet freedom laws.
Samir Kaul, partner at Khosla Ventures says the deal came about through shared presence at KiOR, a clean energy tech startup controlled by Khosla Ventures that has Rice on its board. "We developed a great rapport while serving on the board with KiOR," says Kaul. With discussions starting in the late summer, Khosla Ventures decided to bring on Rice and her business partners for "their strategic insight and leadership guidance." Kaul says, "It'll be a huge value-add for our portfolio companies."

As of Wednesday, February 1, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has given Clayton State University the go-ahead to continue hosting international students, according to John Shiffert, director of university relations at CSU.
Shiffert said Brett Reichert, Clayton State's associate director of International Student Services, was notified by DHS last week.
"The news comes as the end-result of a process called [Student Exchange and Visitor Information System] SEVIS rectification, which began on May 27, 2011 –– eight months ago," said Shiffert.
He added that SEVIS is an electronic data-management tool designed for the Department of Homeland Security, to collect, track and monitor information on international students and scholars in the United States.
Individuals at user-campuses, who are approved to access the system, are called Designated School Officials (DSO's).
Reichert noted that the system was conceived in the late 1990's, but gained little attention until the first terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in 1993.
He said years later –– in the aftermath of the "9/11" attacks –– it was learned that one of the hijackers who crashed American Airlines flight 77 into the Pentagon had also exploited the student visa process.
"That attacker had entered the country on a student visa to study, but never showed up at campus," said Reichert. "SEVIS was quickly digitized and rolled out nationwide by 2003 to address the absence of a timely, automated notification system."
Shiffert added that SEVIS re-certification allows DHS to maintain a high level of data regarding not only international students and scholars, but also regarding all campuses nationwide, approved to host them.
Reichert said Clayton State has expanded, and added programs and locations since the first SEVIS certification in 2003, and that the re-certification petition has been thoroughly reviewed.
"This is great news," said Reichert. "Basically, DHS has given Clayton State a stamp of approval, which implies everything from our international application process, to international advising and reporting, to the programs and locations we offer today, are in good standing."
Shiffert said SEVIS is run by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, which is part of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Last year, he added, there were 15,539 international students enrolled in colleges and universities in the state of Georgia, with an annual economic impact of nearly $430 million.

Hysteria among crazy trolls is a positive sign that Yuna is doing just fine with her preparations. She has gotten better every year since coming on to the scenes, along with increase in number of trolls and intensity of their craziness.

As we enter a new year, let's first reflect on the past. What actions (changes) have we as a country undertaken to improve our environment, economy and overall quality of life? If that sounds like a trick question, it is. It's also intended to be thought-provoking.
Legislation to address environmental issues has the potential to significantly impact our economy and—consequently—the quality of our lives. Unfortunately, some proposed legislation could play a role in stalling what most of us would characterize as a painfully slow economic recovery.
A number of power companies say new rules won't stop them from expanding over the next few years. Others are replacing coal-fired plants with cleaner natural-gas plants to avoid pending legislation that could force coal plants to install Carbon Capture and Sequestration technology at significant cost. Let's understand what's on the table.
As noted by Power-Gen Worldwide (www.powergenworldwide.com), the North American Electric Reliability Corp. (NERC) has analyzed the potential impact of four rules under development by the EPA. They are the Clean Water Act — Section 316 (b), involving cooling-water intake structures; Title I of the Clean Air Act — National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the electric power industry, also known as the Maximum Achievable Control Technology Standard; the Clean Air Transport Rule; and Coal Combustion Residuals (CCR) Disposal Regulations. The proposed regs specifically involve:
I believe in protecting our environment, cutting energy consumption and reducing greenhouse gases—who doesn't? That said, we need to approach these issues with a great deal of common sense. Pending regulations could be tantamount to cutting off our collective noses to spite our faces. MT

Head coach Gus Malzahn said the one-sidedness in his recent play calling hasn't struck him as strange, citing his background as a high school coach, where being able to adapt to the skills of the roster is paramount.
"It's just whatever you do best, you need to build around that," he said. "That's kind of what we're doing best right now."
Though many like to draw comparisons to what Marshall is doing now to the things Cam Newton did during the 2010 season, Malzahn said the offense Auburn is fielding this year has its own attributes that set it apart.
"The first year, no matter whether it was Chris Todd or Cam Newton or Nick Marshall, the core of who we are foundation-wise didn't change," he said. "We just build around the strengths of our quarterback."

But just like his heralded true freshmen counterparts on the defensive line, Daniel has found a way to work his way on the field this season. Taking part in all 10 games this year, the first-year defensive end has seven tackles (including 2.5 for loss) to go along with two sacks.
The Avon, Ind., native even has something neither Adams nor Lawson can claim: leading the Tigers in a statistical category, as Daniel has a team-high nine quarterback hurries.
And Gabe Wright believes Daniel is only beginning to scratch the surface of his potential.
"The sky is the limit," the junior defensive tackle said. "If the sky is not the limit, then there are footsteps on the moon. Elijah is as talented as they come. He's five-stars and he will be five-star. The only thing that was holding him back was all mental. From a physical standpoint, he's there in the SEC. To be that way as a (freshman) D-lineman in the SEC is not easy. I give him all the praise and the glory. He deserves it."
GARRETT'S STATUS UNKNOWN: Junior linebacker Justin Garrett has played in only two games this season. The last time he made an appearance came against LSU on Sept. 21. Since then, he has been dealing with a foot fracture he suffered just before the week of the Ole Miss contest.
Despite his extended absence and lack of game action this year, Gus Malzahn said the team still hasn't reached a decision on whether Garrett will take a medical redshirt.
"It's still up in the air," the coach said when asked about Garrett's status Tuesday.

Delayed Birth Certificates
During the late 30's and early 40's the Federal Government encouraged people to register delayed birth records. Because before 1905 it wasn't required to register birth records universally. Due to the advent of Social Security, which began in 1935, required people to have written proof of their birth and a delayed birth record was a way of doing that.
An article on page 52 of the Heritage Quest Magazine, Vol 20, Number 4, Issue 112, Winter 2004/2005 says the same thing. The magazine is in our LDS Family History Center Library.
Many delayed records are online as well. Do a Google search and enter delayed birth in quotes and about 6.450 hits will take place. Try narrowing it down by entering the town, state, or county name for you keywords.
If you are at a standstill to prove a birth record, try this avenue. You might hit paydirt.

Delayed birth certificates are common in Florida.ReplyDelete
My mother, a county girl, who was born in 1921 did not have a birth certificate. She didn't need one until my parents adopted my little sister in the early 1960s. She had a SSN, voted, a driving license, work for the Federal government, but had no birth certificate until then.
She had to go before a county judge where she lived (not necessarily where she was born), provide some proof and a witness. You could even be from another State.
The Rootsweb.com website for Levy County [http://www.rootsweb.com/~fllevy] list quite a number for of delayed birth certificates. Levy County doesn't have a large population.
My father also had no birth certificate and didn't obtain one until he needed a passport to work overseas, that was in the 60's. I remember, and have the papers, that were used to get a certificate. He was required to have three proofs of birth. My grandmother's word was not enough but luckily she had taken out an insurance policy when he was only eight days old and his birth date and how old he was on the policy.

Our AC started making a terrible noise this evening and a friend in the AC business referred us to Simply The Best. I called, all nervous that it was something serious and I would have to spend a million dollars to get it fixed.
They sent the on-call person out, Russ who just happened to be in the neighborhood and was at our house in 10 minutes. The issue turned out to be a broken bracket and Russ just happened to have the part in his truck for our ancient unit. He replaced it and within 30 minutes had our quiet AC working like a charm.
I don't know if it was just luck or the stars aligned just right, but Russ was very professional and courteous. I highly recommend Simply The Best and will use them when we replace the unit a little later.
Great Service – Signed up for the sole purpose of leaving a review. I called Simply the Best a few weeks ago for regular maintainence on my A/C. The receptionist was very helpful and nice - they give you an approximate time the technician would arrive, and then follow up with a call within the hour of the arrival to let you know they are on the way.
The technician (Russ) was very friendly and helpful. At the time of the maintainence, he identified potential problem areas, told us what to look for as warning signs, and was very up front. No hard sale, no pressure.
Our A/C ended up dying a few weeks later, due to one of the potential problem spots he identified. He came out, made the quick replacement, and cooled us off.
We appreciate the service and professionalism of Simply the Best, highly recommended.
So Happy We Called – After calling another company that told us our compressor was shot we decided to get a second opinion. We called Simply the Best and found out that is was just a burned wire. They fixed the wire and its running Great ! It was Worth calling a company with an A+ rating with the BBB and ZERO complaints with the Registar of contractors. We were really disappointed with poor service from the other company that i will not name, and high pressure sales tactics, my wife and I were very happy with service from Simply the Best Heating and cooling.It's nice to know there are still HONEST service Companies out there to fix the problem and not pressure us. Thank you Kudzu. We love Simply the Best!Job well done
Fantastic ! – My Air conditioning broke down this weekend and i just happened to see Simply The Best heating and cooling on channel 3.I was not sure what company to call since I'm new to the Phoenix area. They came out to my house with in one hour of my call fixed my system and it only cost me 98 dollars ! I was so happy that it was not a new system or a major break down. They are such an honest company and i would recommend them to ANYONE ! You Guys are Awesome !
Great Company ! – I am so happy that I want to jump for joy! Truly Mike Made this whole AC outage so manageable reduced my stress level to a manageable level. Mike showed up and did a maintenance tune up on my system and i had a coupon for a free thermostat that he installed with a lifetime warranty ! Simply the Best is just amazing ! I really want you to know that Mike treated me honestly and fairly. He could have told me anything and I would have believed him, but he told me what was needed and completed the work without surprises. Thank You for having high ethical standards and strong ethical team members. You can be sure that I will spread your business name around to my friends, you can count on it! Due to Mikes personal effort you have convinced me to be a lifelong customer. I also enrolled in there Gold Service plan. I wish i knew there was a plan like this before. I want to thank you for that. It is very hard to find a company you can trust anymore, but I found and trust Simply the Best !
Affordable – Simply The Best Heating & Cooling was recommended by my Neighbor. I was having problem with my air conditioner , which just wasn't heating. Since I am on a limited budget, I didnt want to buy a new air conditioner so I was in search for reliable Repair Company.
As a new homeowner, my budget is very limited. But that's doesnt mean Im cheap I gladly pay more if I know I'm getting a good service.
The service technician Clint came on time. He repaired the heater quickly, which was imperative since I took some time off from work and I was on very tight timeline. He was very polite and professional, and I definitely got a good price.

Just, awesome – We have used them for over 2 years and find them to be honest, competent, and reasonable.

Buzz, I think it's fair to say that not everyone who pays $0 in taxes is "on the dole". There can be working people who are in low-paying jobs that still end up in the no-tax-due position. However, even those who are working could be under the misimpression that all safety nets would be removed with a new administration ... that is the fear being planted by the Obama campaign.
OTOH, I think that there is plenty of waste/fraud in the welfare system, even the SSI system, that can be remedied. I can recall that not long ago a man was identified in Philadelphia collecting welfare under 7 different names! I have seen the system "gamed" first-hand. Until we find a means of detecting fraud (and/or waste) we will never quite know the extent of the problem.

About Romney and women in high-level positions:
Mitt Romney's second-in-command when he was governor of Massachusetts and a coalition of women's groups rallied Wednesday behind the Republican presidential nominee in the face of a rapidly expanding Internet phenomenon poking fun at his "binders full of women."
The supporters said Romney, indeed, asked for and received binders with names of potential female candidates for high-level posts -- backing up his claim in Tuesday night's debate that as governor he had reached out to women's groups because he was dissatisfied with the mostly male applicants for jobs in his administration.
Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012...#ixzz29f20lAONIt seems to have been forgotten that not long ago, a survey of women's compensation within the Obama staff found that women on his staff were paid less than men doing the same kinds of jobs. So, Obama could not point to a record of equal pay for women within his own administration as an answer to the debate question. Perhaps the administration believes the Lily Ledbetter law should not have to pertain to the WH? Selective law enforcement, as with immigration law?The Massachusetts Government Appointments Project -- which began before Romney was elected in 2002 -- acknowledged the number of women in top positions increased under Romney.
According to a survey conducted by the University of New York in Albany at the time, the Romney administration had more women in senior leadership positions than any other state in America.

Maybe obama should look at his pension Ronmney doesn't have one
As president, he will receive $191,300 annually for life — win or lose in next month's election — and receives a travel allotment as well as mailing privileges. Should Obama lose, his presidential pension kicks in immediately after leaving office.
Given that the president enjoys a normal life span, the pension allotment would be worth upwards of $6 million.
The federal budget spends about $3 million annually for the four living ex-presidents. Obama also will get Secret Service protection.
In addition, Obama may be due a nice pension for the eight years he served in the Illinois

He probably needs a recommendation or at least wants to list the Company as a prior employer if he tries to get a better job so his best bet is to comply until he can quit and take it easy for a while.
Hmm, the plan backfired
Went gambling with my mom and nana for a few hours. I didn't win much of shit, but I wasn't gambling on my own money anyway. Gran provided it all cause she's just that awesome.
Ordered fish and chips with mozzerella sticks, had some pink lemonade, and an ice cream that I never touched due to being too full afterwards.
Got some weird looks for sure, cause I still look super young, lol.

Lies & Omens
- eBook - ePub eBook: $7.99
Sylvie Lightner is a P.I. specializing in the unusual—in a world where magic is real, and Hell is just around the corner.
After escaping secret government cells and destroying a Miami landmark, Sylvie's trying to lay low—something that gets easier when a magical force starts taking out her enemies. But these magical attacks are a risk to bystanders, and Sylvie can't let that slide.
When the war between the government and the magical world threatens the three people closest to her—her assistant, her sister, and her lover—Sylvie has no choice but to get involved with hidden powers bent on shaping the world to their liking. Now, with death and disaster on the horizon, even if Sylvie wins, things will never be the same...
Murder Unmemorable
"I don't know about this," Detective Raul Garza said again. He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. Afternoon sunlight spilled hot and heavy through the windshield and the open windows. The faux–leather seats had gone sticky and soft, as irritating as his incessant finger drumming. Garza scowled at the world from beneath his mirrored sunglasses.
He wasn't the only one. Sylvie Lightner had been sitting beside him in the unmarked car for the past three hours. In that period, he'd expressed his doubts about their purpose no fewer than ten times. A frustrated scream built in her chest.
Coming to Key West to help Garza hadn't been her idea, and it sure as hell wasn't something she'd do for fun. For work, on the other hand—as Miami's go–to girl for dealing with the supernatural nasties, this kind of moment was all too common, right down to the thinly veiled dislike Garza showed her. Made sense. Sylvie had so many strikes against her that it was hard to pick out which one bothered him the most. Unlicensed PI with a reputation for trouble? A vigilante who took care of problems the police didn't want to acknowledge? A woman with a liking for large–caliber weaponry, a smart mouth, and something dangerous in her blood? Or maybe Garza had caught wind of her change in reputation. It had been bad before. The Magicus Mundi—the supernatural world that mingled with the mortal one—had called her L'enfant du meurtrier, The Murderer's Child.
Now they knew her as the New Lilith. The dark heir to an immortal woman who had wanted to make war on her god. If Sylvie's reputation had been bad before, now it was abysmal. She was unpopular with everyone. Witches. Monsters. Law enforcement. And nosy and controlling government agencies like Internal Surveillance and Investigation, who would rather blame her for the magical problems than deal with them on their own. No one liked her; they all treated her with suspicion and fear.
Sylvie didn't understand it. It wasn't like being the new Lilith had done much to change her beyond increasing her innate resistance to inimical magic.
Beyond making us immortal, her little dark voice said. She ignored it. She often did. It was another genetic legacy, an all–too–active form of ancestral memory. It had its uses, not least its desire to survive, but it also was a little like having the world's most cynical and angry roommate living in her head. She hoped it was wrong about the immortality thing; on the off chance it wasn't, she'd started trying to play nice. Forever was a terribly long time to be friendless.
With that thought recurring to her more and more frequently, she had begun to treasure her few allies. So when Detective Adelio Suarez, her only friend in the Miami PD, asked for her help, the answer had to be yes. Suarez had told her that Garza had a major problem, her type of problem. Magical malfeasance with a rising body count.
"I must be out of my mind," Garza said, reaching for the ignition.
"Six dead men, three dead women in a nightclub two weeks ago," Sylvie reminded him. "Another eight down for the count last night, in hospital on IVs, still twitching. It's a classic dance–'til–death curse."
"I don't believe in curses," Garza said. He sat back, took his hand from the keys. Sighed. Spoke again. "I don't want to believe in curses."
"Hey," Sylvie said. "You believed in them enough to pick out the bad guy."
She opened the file folder in her lap again, though she'd memorized most of it. Marcel Braud. Twenty–seven years old. He looked bad on paper. Spoiled, rich, a history of smaller crimes: shoplifting, DUIs, and the habit of getting high and beating up his girlfriends. But he was sober now.
Sober enough to use black magic?
The first victim was his ex–girlfriend. The people who died were the ones who'd danced with her, or in her immediate orbit. Last night, the first one to fall under the curse was his current girlfriend, who Braud had accused of cheating. No matter which way Garza added it up, the culprit seemed the same. Braud.
Garza had told Sylvie that Braud, when brought in for questioning, hadn't done much to deny it, only smirked and asked what Garza thought he could do about it.
Which led to this. Sitting outside Braud's Key West condo waiting for their chance to go inside without witnesses. Garza's jaw kept jumping. She couldn't blame him. He was well out of his comfort zone.
She was in hers.
"Let's go," she said, as the neighbor pulled out and left the tiny parking lot quiet. The midday dead zone.
"Jesus Christ," he muttered, but followed her out of the car. "You sure about this?"
"He's killing people," Sylvie said.
"I meant . . . what's protecting us from him?"
Garza watched her unholster her weapon, and visibly, carefully said nothing about a civilian drawing a gun like she meant to use it.
Sylvie tapped on Braud's door, and when he opened it, she stuck her gun in his face and let herself in.
Garza shut the door hastily behind them.
"What is this?" Braud said, looking past Sylvie and her weapon. "Garza? You again? I'll have your job."
"No," Sylvie said. "You won't."
She'd come prepared to scare him senseless, to take away any magic he'd gathered. Until this very moment, she'd assumed he had possession of some malignant magical tool that could be removed from his custody. But there was a chain around his neck with a too–familiar bat–wing pendant. Part identification, part magical amplification.
He was Maudit.
His magic was inborn.
The energy in the room shivered, fluxed cold, pulling away from them like an icy wave washing out to sea. Beside her, Garza shouted, his voice scaling up in panic.
Sylvie's skin crawled; Braud smirked.
"Stop," she said. Normally, she wouldn't have bothered with that much warning, but she had a cop beside her. Her resistance to magic meant she could afford that momentary hesitation.
Garza, his face a rictus of pain, raised his gun and shot. Sylvie jerked aside; the air before Braud shimmered like an oil slick and let the flattened bullets slip down to ping hotly against the tile floor.
"Shadows!" Garza gasped. His face was blistering, tiny seeping pustules.
Braud jerked at hearing her identified, turned to look at her. Garza gasped in what sounded like relief as Braud's focus split between them.
Braud repeated, "Shadows."
Cold air rushed past her, sucking all the chill toward him. Heat sparked around her, stung her skin with points of fire. One of the Maudit top–ten favorites for removing an enemy: the immolation spell.
Sylvie stepped forward, ignored his increasingly desperate spell casting, ignored the heat that couldn't seep beneath her skin, couldn't boil her blood the way it was doing to Garza's. She sent a bullet toward Braud's skull.
A glimmer of that opalescent shield eddied between her bullet and his brains, then disappeared all at once, letting her shot hit home between his eyes.
He collapsed.
Garza had a quiet breakdown at the door; his hand jittered between his own weapon, his radio, his brow. Finally, he said, "He tried to kill me. He tried to kill—I was burning alive."
"And now you're not," Sylvie said. She eyed him carefully despite her flippant words. The welts on his face were fading fast, sinking back into his skin as the temperature around them dropped; the air conditioner whined, recovering from the sudden burst of heat.
Garza holstered his gun, kept patting at his face, his forearms. "My bullets didn't touch him."
"Magical body armor. It's a Maudit thing. They like to attach a few prepared spells to their amulets."
"Society of very bad men. Who have issues with women. I should have known when you told me he was killing off his girlfriends."
"You killed him. You carrying special rounds? Like silver?"
"No," Sylvie said. She didn't elaborate. Cops liked facts, and she didn't have any. What could she say? That her bullets somehow could be relied on to find a weakness in magical shields? She hadn't figured it out herself. "Call the hospital. Let's make sure the people he cursed are healed up, too."
"Then what?"
"Make him disappear?" She tried to sound like this was a first for her, that she was just as lost as he was. Garza eyed her sidelong, suspicious. Not surprising. She didn't do innocent very well.
She was going to catch hell for this one way or the other. She really hadn't been expecting to kill Braud, had expected a one–spell dilettante, the kind that could be scared straight. But the Maudits were a different type of sorcerer entirely: socially connected, rich, entitled, and far more talented than they deserved to be. Death was the only thing that stopped them.
Garza could have been killed. She'd endangered her client.
She should have come alone.
She was tired of going it alone.
". . . they're awake? Stopped seizing? No, no, no need to bother the doctor. That's wonderful. May I interview them in the morning? Perfect."
Sylvie eavesdropped shamelessly, felt a quick glow of satisfaction. That was that, then.
Garza disconnected. The unhappy tension in his face had changed out for a visible and grim contentment. Not the outcome he'd planned but one he could live with. "So, we make him disappear. How?"
"Your case. Your call." She'd love to push this off onto Garza if she could. Failing that, she certainly wasn't going to suggest a place to dump the body. There was foolhardy—shooting a sorcerer dead in front of a cop—and then there was just plain stupid—drawing a cop, no matter how friendly, a map to her occasional graveyard.
Garza grimaced. "God. Yeah. I can't believe I'm saying this."
"Didn't believe in curses either, at first."
"Fine. There's a drug spot. I'll leave him there. Braud has a past of drug–related offenses. A deal gone wrong in a drug alley will pass. Your gun on file?"
"No. What about the apartment?" There wasn't a lot of mess. Braud's magical shield hadn't saved him, but it had contained the blood spatter surprisingly well. And since the shield was keyed to the bat–wing amulet, it was keeping the blood spill close to the body.
"I know someone," Garza said.
"Figured as much." Sylvie shivered. Cops made the best murderers. Or accomplices.
When Sylvie hadn't heard from Garza in a week, when the finding of Braud's body passed almost without comment in the press—odd for a wealthy white man with a luxury lifestyle—she bit back her instincts that suggested no news was good news, and called him.
"Any fallout?" she asked, when he answered.
"With Braud."
"Who is this?"
Sylvie hung up, frowning. Garza's confusion sounded real. More, when she'd mentioned Braud, his attention had sharpened as if he'd been investigating Braud's death. Not covering it up.
Sylvie figured it was time for a trip back to Key West.
Hours later, she waved at Detective Raul Garza across a parking lot, and he raised a hand back in the halfhearted way one did when recognition was lacking. She let her hand drop. She wasn't as surprised as she should have been. Garza had been her fourth stop. Sylvie had visited some of the dance–'til–you–die–cursed clubbers, and none of them recalled anything more complex than someone maybe spiking my drink? One man, shifting uncomfortably from foot to foot, as if his feet felt bruised and tender, said he thought that maybe there'd been E going around.
When she pressed, tried to get them to admit they recalled more, remembered something magical, they'd locked up and stuttered like a skipped record, claimed headaches. She imagined, if she confronted Garza, he'd do the same.
Her jaw set; she tightened her grip on the steering wheel as she turned the truck for Miami and home.
The thing was, Sylvie had always known the world was blind to the Magicus Mundi, that people would ignore their own senses to come up with a more "real world" answer. It wasn't a werewolf that ate the family pet, it was an alligator. Fur? What fur?
People liked their world's being safe and sane and sensible. Sylvie had always assumed that the hard cases who denied magic even when it was happening big and bright and undeniable in front of them were willfully blind.
She'd never considered that they might have been blindfolded by someone or something else.
Maybe she needed to.
This wasn't the first time Sylvie had expected to have real–world fallout from a magical event: After the gods had battled in Chicago, scattering god–power and warping the city, she'd expected to hear endless speculation and theorizing. Instead, there'd been a news report about an inland storm and freak occurrences brought on by panic and strange atmospheric pressures. Strange atmospheric pressures that allowed children to bring nightmares to life, that set buildings to attacking each other, and lifted roadways off the ground like ribbons. Very strange pressures.
That was the most egregious example, but several hours of research later, Sylvie had compiled a list of should–have–been–noticed events. Chicago, obviously. The cursed bodies she'd found in the Everglades, more locally. And reading between the lines on newspaper accounts and her case files: another half dozen. It seemed like anytime the Magicus Mundi made itself felt with a significant death toll, something or someone swept it under the proverbial rug.
Sylvie, who believed in honesty, even if she didn't always practice it, found it insupportable. She couldn't stop people from pretending the Magicus Mundi didn't exist. But deliberately blinding them? The world was dangerous enough when you knew the predators existed, even subconsciously. If you weren't allowed to know? It was like being shoved into a room to take a test without even knowing what the subject was, and if you failed, you died.
She and her business partner, Alexandra Figueroa–Smith, would have to do some research. Find out who was behind it. Find out why they were doing it. And find out what it would take to stop them.
Fall Apart
Sylvie had a whole list of things she disliked—misogynist sorcerers, incompetent drivers, government agents who raided her office illegally, trashed her security, and absconded with her files, lovers who were too busy to call, and cops who weren't—too many things to really enumerate or rank, but frantic phone calls from her clients were close to the top.
She liked frantic calls even less when things were theoretically under control. Her client, Lupe Fernandez, was supposed to be tucked up safe and sound at her parents' home.
Lupe's call had been brief, mostly unintelligible. It had been three minutes of sobbing, shouting, a vibration of mortal terror. When the call had disconnected, mid panicked babble, Sylvie knew something had gone wrong. Knew she hadn't done her job right.
That was the kind of thought that ruined her morning, sent her scrabbling out of her bed, grabbing at clothes, her gun, her keys, and heading for her truck at a dead run. Not the way she preferred to begin her days. Ideally, they'd start with waking before the alarm went off, having time for a leisurely cup of coffee, a morning jog, or swim if the day was too hot, then a late breakfast at her office, while Alex caught her up on potential clients.
If it were a really good day, when she woke, Demalion would be beside her, lashes dark on his face, the glint of blond stubble in slanting sunlight, sleeping as determinedly as a cat. If it were a good day, she'd get to lean over and nudge him awake, watch his pupils flare and fade as he blinked into morning light.
It hadn't been a good day for months.
Sylvie laid on the horn, cursed rush–hour traffic, and stomped on the gas, jerking her truck around a multitasking driver who had one hand full of coffee cup, the other full of cell phone, and was failing to steer with his knees.
Her throat was tight, worried about Lupe. The woman had been through so much already. Kidnapped by Azpiazu the soul devourer, used as a magical conduit, finally freed through Sylvie's actions. . . only to find she wasn't as free as everyone thought.
Azpiazu had slapped a shape–shifting spell on his victims as part of his attempt to control his own unmanageable shifting. When Sylvie had killed him and broken the spell that linked him to his victims, she'd thought it was over. Had seen the women home with the sense of a job well–done.
Then Lupe had called her the first full moon after, in total hysterics; the moon rose, and Lupe shifted into a werewolf in her screened–in patio. Reason enough for hysterics, but it had been far worse than that. Lupe hadn't been alone. Her girlfriend, Jenny, had been curled next to her on the patio swing. Jenny had needed 134 stitches in her face, chest, shoulder, and arm, lost three fingers on her right hand, and gained a cracked skull. She'd nearly bled out before Lupe woke the next morning and called 911.
Unsurprisingly, the two broke up. Jenny didn't really remember what had happened; the concussion and blood loss saw to that, but at the same time, Lupe said, Jenny was afraid of her.
Lupe was afraid of herself.
Sylvie had taken her out to Tatya and Marisol in the Everglades, two women, two werewolves, who she thought might be willing to help deal with the change. They had been. Again, Sylvie had thought, problem solved. Or at least shelved.
Sunlight lancing through her windshield from the car before her made her squint and wince, and realize she'd torn out of her apartment without grabbing her sunglasses. A small pain, though, compared to what Lupe was going through.
Finding out she was a werewolf was bad and freaky enough—curse–inflicted lycanthropy was insanely rare—but spending the full moon with Tatya and Marisol had proved that Lupe's problems were larger than that. With Tatya and Marisol at her side, Lupe had been braced to deal with the wolf–change, assured that no one would be hurt this time.
The problem was that Lupe didn't shift into a wolf. She changed under the moon, wasn't left a human between two monsters, but she didn't turn into a wolf either. For her second full moon, Lupe turned into a jaguar, all fury and rage at being caught between the two werewolves. No one came out of that unscathed.
Lupe didn't heal like Tatya and Marisol did, either; she was left with bloody bite marks that bled and scabbed for weeks. She bore the wounds without complaint, saying Jenny had had it worse.
Sylvie had started looking into witches, hoping to find someone who could break the curse. It was a slow, too–slow, process, trying to find a witch with the right ratio of power to trustworthiness, and they'd run out of time. It didn't help that three months ago, the ISI had helped themselves to Sylvie's files. The ISI was supposed to deal with the intersection of the Magicus Mundi and the real world, but they had chosen to use the information gleaned from Sylvie's files to run the few remaining local witches Sylvie could work with out of town. Business as usual with them. They would rather inconvenience Sylvie than do anything productive.
So for the third moon, last night's moon, Lupe had made her own arrangements. She'd gone to her parents' home while they were on a buying trip in New York City and locked herself in a zoo–quality cage that she'd set up in the home gym. Obviously, something had gone wrong. Again. Lupe couldn't seem to catch a break.
Sylvie changed lanes, got off the highway, and hoped Lupe hadn't killed someone. If that happened, she didn't know what she'd do.
Put a bullet in her brain, her little dark voice suggested. You kill monsters.
It was true. If she had been coming into the case from the outside, she would have shot Lupe already and fed her bones to the sea. But Lupe was hers. Sylvie had saved her from the sorcerer, and she was responsible for her well–being.
She was forced to a stop outside the gated community's security station and bit back her impatience. She'd forgotten Lupe's family had money and the paranoia to go with it. The guard leaned out of his station, eyed her beat–up truck, eyed her, said nothing. "Sylvie Lightner," she said. "I'm here to see the Fernandezes."

EDMONDS, WASH., June 14, 2013 — Fulfilling a promise to the community to make significant investments in advanced medical services and technology, today Swedish/Edmonds announced plans for a $63.5 million expansion at the existing hospital campus. Construction of a two-story, 77,000-square-foot facility will feature a new emergency department (ED) with a dedicated behavioral health unit and urgent care center. It will also include a new outpatient diagnostic imaging center, observation unit, front entry, and parking garage. The building's second floor will be reserved for future expansion of hospital services. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2014, with completion of the ED and urgent care center in the fall of 2015.

Swedish/Issaquah ER Receives National Recognition for Patient Satisfaction
ISSAQUAH, WASH., Nov. 21, 2012 – When people think of an emergency room (ER) the words 'patient satisfaction' are probably not the first that come to mind. However, at the Swedish/Issaquah ER patient satisfaction is a top priority – and now the facility has been nationally recognized for its work in this area.
Improving the emergency department experience - and being recognized four years in a row
When you think of emergency rooms or emergency departments, "patient satisfaction" probably isn't the first phrase that comes to mind. As an Emergency Medicine nurse, and having travel-nursed throughout the United States for the past 20 years, I've come to the realization that the traditional way of doing things is broken. In fact, about eight years ago, I was so disillusioned with my career that I decided to leave nursing.
But then, an amazing new opportunity came my way.
The nurse recruiter for the local agency I had been working with knew I was planning to leave the field, but informed me of an opportunity being developed at Swedish Medical Center in Issaquah. In short, Swedish was building a new freestanding Emergency Department (ED) that would offer something to patients that — at the time — was unheard of: an experience solely dedicated to patient satisfaction and respecting the patients' time. This new way of thinking and new opportunity with Swedish re-energized my desire to stay in the field, and I accepted the challenge this job offered.
Fast-forward eight years and we've succeeded in our goal to make our Emergency Department experience second to none, and one that others try to emulate.
It's not your typical ED.
Patients in the area know that when they come to the Swedish/Issaquah Emergency Department (and other Swedish Emergency Departments like Mill Creek and Redmond), they will experience a "no-wait" philosophy. You won't sit around in a waiting room; rather, you'll be taken directly to an exam room with your care started immediately. And, now we're being nationally recognized for our achievements.

Who is still reading magazines?
I get this question all the time. Is anyone still reading magazines? No offense to anyone who has asked me this, but the answer is rather obvious, yes.
People read what they find to be useful, necessary, helpful on the job, or just plain fun. I have been associated with Hydrauilcs & Pneumatics for over 30 years. Many things have chaged over that time period and they continue to change. One thing has remained constant, our readers read.
Why? Because they find the information contained in our pages every month to be useful and interesting. Credit to Alan Hitchcox and Mary Gannon for an excellent job of making our content both a qualities. I have worked with Alan for many years and I do not know of anyone more passioniate about fluid power information than him.
That is why people read H&P every month. Yes, you can get the issue online. Yes, you can get the articles on our website. Yes, you can Google the information. And, yes, you can find some artices on fluid power in some other publications that contain other engineering interests. However, only Hydraulics & Pneumatics delivers 100% fluid power content of interest every month in a readable, understandable, interesting format. (Obviously, I am a big fan of H&P.)
If you want some proof of what our readers think of the magazine and if they are reading, I have it. Please, just ask me. Happy reading!

There tends to be a seasonal pattern to the nat gas trade. But have the recent discoveries changed the game for good?
Historically, natural gas, like most commodities, moves between cycles of oversupply and undersupply.
However, since we've discovered so many new pockets of nat gas and other energy resources in the United States -- and since the technology for extracting it has improved so dramatically -- Cramer can't help but wonder if the cycle is broken.
In his quest for an answer Cramer turned to top technical analyst Carley Garner, author of A Traders First Book on Commodities, as well as co-founder of DeCarley Trading and a Cramer colleague at TheStreet.com.
According to Garner's analysis, although natural gas has been rallying hard off of its lows since April, it's still too early to get bullish.
Gardner does recognize that there could be some reasons to get positive on the commodity. For starters, natural gas has a strong tendency to rally every year from mid-February through April.
However, before we get that rally, the commodity typically suffers sharp declines in late January.
So if you're going to try to play the calendar, Garner cautions that now is not the right time to do so. In short, she thinks natural gas is likely to go lower before it goes higher.
Here are the technicals.
More from Cramer:
Is Cramer Cooling on Apple?
Cramer: Don't Be Discouraged by This Lackluster IPO
Cramer: This Move Is in Its Infancy
Looking at the weekly chart of natural gas, Garner points out that the commodity has been making a very prominent wedge pattern, ever since its big bottom last April. This wedge gives natural gas a ceiling of resistance at $3.70, and a floor of support near $3.20.
Although Garner thinks natural gas could get a boost from a strong seasonal tailwind starting in mid-February, there's a full month until that happens.
And in that month, she thinks it's likely nat gas could break down, falling through its floor of support. Should that happen - people who follow technicals may panic and as a result, there could be a major sell-off.
That very negative scenario may not be so far-fetched.
Although this part of Garner's analysis is somewhat complex, suffice it to say two important momentum indicators - the Relative Strength Index or RSI, and the Williams Percent Range also known as the Williams Percent R – suggest nat gas is not oversold.
In other words, it's not so outrageous to think the price can fall -- a lot. There's a way to go before the selling runs out of steam.
If you're a pro and looking to buy futures, Garner says if natural gas breaks down below that $3.20 floor of support, prices could quickly tumble down to $2.60, which was the starting point for the latest rally at the beginning of September.
To play the seasonal rally from February to April, Garner says that $2.60 area is where you might want to consider starting to pick at a small position.
If you're an individual investor, it's worth noting that Cramer does not recommend trading nat gas or any commodity other than gold. "It's simply too risky," he says.
Cramer thinks the important takeaway for individual investors is the idea that even though Garner believes natural gas will rally later this year, she thinks it will be rallying from a lower level, possibly a much lower level.
"That's crucial," Cramer explained, "because cheap energy, and specifically cheap natural gas, is one of my favorite themes for 2013. The low price may be horrible for producers, but it's terrific for consumers like the chemical companies."
On Thursday January 10th Cramer said his favorite names in the chemical space were Dow Chemical, PPG, Westlake, Eastman Chemical and Lyondell-Basell.

Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording, and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. It supports a wide range of audio inputs, outputs, and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console-mode user interface is included in the package.
PhysicsFS is a library to provide abstract access to various archives. The programmer defines a "write directory" on the physical filesystem. No file writing done through the PhysicsFS API can leave that write directory, for security. For file reading, the programmer lists directories and archives that form a "search path". Once the search path is defined, it becomes a single, transparent, hierarchical filesystem. This makes for easy access to ZIP files in the same way as you access a file directly on the disk, and it makes it easy to ship a new archive that will override a previous archive on a per-file basis. Symbolic links can be disabled, for added safety. Finally, PhysicsFS gives you a platform- abstracted means to determine if CD-ROMs are available, the user's home directory, where in the real filesystem your program is running, etc.

Since January, two former Erie County Prison guards were sentenced for orchestrating an inmate's beating, while others have been disciplined or charged for allegedly fudging timecards and stealing ammunition.
That's why County Executive Barry Grossman tells the Erie Times-News ( http://bit.ly/TuIEGq) he thinks the review by the National Institute of Corrections is needed.
The agency has no official jurisdiction over county lockups, so its investigators will only make recommendations, not mandates. But Grossman says an independent review is needed and, what's more, the price is right: the NIC doesn't charge to inspect and review jails.
Grossman says the review is important in restoring public faith in the jail.
