Because the Z80 CPU only has a 64KB address space, and only 48KB of this is mapped to the cartridge on the Master System and Game Gear, "mappers" are used to allow the use of larger ROMs, as well as on-cartridge RAM. Smaller games (typically 32KB for released software) do not need a mapper.
The terminology can be confusing. In this document the word "paging", which usually means the same as "mapping", is not used. "Mapping", of course, refers to the act of presenting some range of a chip's address space at some, usually mismatching, range of the Z80's address space. "Mapper" refers to the hardware that performs mapping. "Slot" refers to an area of the Z80 address space into which various areas of ROM or RAM can be mapped. "Bank" refers to the area of ROM or RAM thus mapped.
There are several revisions of the Sega mapper, which was sometimes produced as a discrete chip but integrated into the ROM chip in most cases. It defines four 16KB slots in the memory map. Any 16KB bank of ROM may be mapped into any of the first three slots; additionally, up to two 16KB RAM banks can be mapped into the last two slots. The mapper hardware is controlled by writes to memory addresses $fffc-$ffff.
This is the mapper used in 99% of software, and is assumed to be there (for games larger than 48KB) by the BIOS.
The only difference between revisions is that unused functionality is removed from some of them, for example some versions only support ROM banking in slot 2 and some only support 128KB ROMs. Emulating a "full" mapper in all cases does not cause any problems.
Information about certain mapper chips can be found on the SMS Paging Chips page.
Address $fffc: RAM mapping and miscellaneous functions
|"ROM write" enable
|RAM enable ($c000-$ffff)
|RAM enable ($8000-$bfff)
|RAM bank select
|Bank shift
Addresses $fffd-$ffff: ROM mapping
|Control register
|ROM bank select for slot
|0 ($0000-$3fff)
|1 ($4000-$7fff)
|2 ($8000-$bfff)
The registers are thought to be undefined after a reset for games using the 831001 and 832011 ROMs and 315-5208 mapper. The 315-5235 mapper is reset to FFFC=00, FFFD=00, FFFE=01, FFFF=02 after a power-up reset.
The ROM may be considered as an array of 16KB banks. The 8-bit value written to a ROM mapping control register from $fffd to $ffff selects which of these is mapped to the relevant slot.
Depending on the mapper revision, the number of significant bits in the bank selection register may vary - for example, some revisions have 3 significant bits (supporting 8 banks, 128KB total size), others have 5 (512KB), with the largest known supporting 6 bits (1MB). Some software may also set higher-order bits than those that are relevant to its ROM size. Provided the ROM is a power-of-two size, these issues do not cause problems, because ROM mirroring will nullify the effect.
When mapping in slot 0, the first 1KB is unaffected, in order to preserve the interrupt vectors. The remaining 15KB is mapped with the last 15KB of the relevant bank.
Most games only use slot 2; very few use slot 0.
Because the control registers overlap in the memory map with a RAM mirror, this mirrored RAM allows the last value written to each register to be read back (from the RAM copy). The registers are, however, strictly write-only. Overwriting the RAM mirror at another address will not affect mapping.
Note also the bank shifting feature described below.
The control register at $fffc enables mapping of on-cartridge RAM to the address space used by the in-console RAM ($c000-$ffff) or to slot 2 (region $8000-$bfff).
When bit 3 is
1, RAM will be mapped into slot 2, overriding any ROM banking via the control register at $ffff. When
0, ROM banking is effective.
When bit 4 is
1, RAM will be mapped into the address range used by the (mirrored) on-board RAM. To avoid bus contention, this should therefore be disabled using port $3E. No known software uses this feature.
The bank select bit chooses between the first 16KB bank of SRAM (
0) and the second (
1), but only for slot 2. Thus, if the register were set to
%---111--, 32KB of cartridge RAM would be exposed to the Z80 address bus between $8000 and $ffff (with the second 16KB mapped as the first and vice versa).
It is worth noting that most games with on-cartridge RAM have less than 32KB; most seem to have just 8KB, which is mirrored to fill both 16KB slots.
Bits 1-0 of the control register at $fffc define a shift value that is added to any bank number written to $fffd-f:
|Bit 1
|Bit 0
|Banks $00-$1F map to
If only these bits are changed, there is no effect until one of the registers at $fffd-f is written to, at which point all three will have the shift applied. The $0000-$03ff region remains unmapped as before. No known software uses this feature. Because it is only featured on one type of 512KB mapper chip, its behaviour with other ROM sizes is undefined.
Bit 7 of the control register at $fffc controls write protection for the "ROM" (which may be emulated using RAM in development hardware). Setting this bit to
0 write protects it. This feature is not known to be used by any software.
This mapper presents three 16KB slots to the address bus as before. However, the control registers are mapped to the first byte of each bank and the first 1KB is no longer protected.
|Control register
|0 ($0000-$3fff)
|1 ($4000-$7fff)
|2 ($8000-$bfff)
The mapper is initialised with banks 0, 1 and 0 in slots 0, 1 and 2 respectively.
When using slot 0, care must be taken to replace interrupt vectors appropriately. Also note that there is no RAM mirroring of mapper writes so there is no way to retrieve the last value written.
Most games seem to only use slot 2.
Due to the similarities with the Sega mapper, it is generally possible to patch Codemasters software to work with a Sega mapper.
One Codemasters game, Ernie Els Golf, features 8KB of on-cart RAM. If the byte written to $8000 has the high bit set ($80) then the upper 8KB of slot 2 (from $a000 to $c000) is mapped to this on-cart RAM, while the lower 8KB will remain mapped to ROM as if the high bit were unset.
Some Korean original software (eg. Run! Dodgeball King) uses an alternative mapper system which is a further simplification of the above. Slots 0 and 1 are fixed to banks 0 and 1 of ROM respectively, while the bank mapped to slot 2 is selected by a byte written to address $a000.

Have you ever sneezed while driving? You can't see a thing. Two or three sneezes in a row can mean utter blindness for what seems like an eternity. That's what happened to Antonio Zamora as he drove a three-axle truck through a town near Oakland, Calif. on Thursday.
Unfortunately for Zamora — and the used car dealership he happened to be driving past — his sneeze-blindness caused him to veer off the road and crash through a metal fence onto the dealership's lot. When the dust had settled, ten cars had sustained body damage, including a Mitsubishi and a handful of Ford trucks. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
Zamora's accident got me wondering why people seem to lose control of their senses for the moments a sneeze or a series of sneezes are going down. One of my friends crashed his car into a median strip and popped his front tires when a sneeze grabbed him mid-turn. It turns out that your eyes' closing during a sneeze is reflexive; something researchers believe is your body's attempt to protect your eyes from popping out when there's added pressure behind them. Not that they ever would. There's not enough pressure.
So what are you gonna do? Zamora wasn't drunk, he was only going about 30 mph, and he couldn't control his body's sternutatory reflex, so no one's pinning the blame on him. It was a simple matter of the hand of fate and its tendency to strike indiscriminately.

Troubleshooting brings out the armchair quarterback in most IT pros, especially during emergent and highly visible outages. After all, we love a tough problem, and it's easy to gloss over a situation from a disassociated position and say you could have solved it better, faster, or with less fallout.
We even do it to ourselves: How many times have we said that if we only knew then what we know now, we would have done differently? There is no disassociated position when troubleshooting. We only know what we know in that moment, so we forge ahead with our best guess, balancing the risks of our actions against the promise of a resolution. For the most part, our gambles succeed; otherwise we wouldn't be in the position to do much troubleshooting again.

Dealing with emergent problems means making a devil's choice between a fix and forensics. Speed up the time required to fix a particularly gnarly problem, and you might end up destroying data that could reveal the problem's actual cause during a postmortem. Seasoned IT pros try to have our cake and eat it too. But in the end, returning to normal operation trumps collecting data for forensics, so it's not always possible to retain as much data as we might like to get.
Unfortunately, this often means reliving the issue again.
The true test of IT troubleshooting
Those who have never dealt with a true IT emergency can't understand what it is like, largely because it's almost impossible to describe the situation accurately. Phrases like "firefighting" or "life-saving" are bombastic to the layperson, who generally thinks of computer problems as being solved by unplugging a DSL router.
But when a blocking problem appears out of nowhere, especially during what might otherwise have been a routine procedure or when no work was under way at all, the same basic response takes hold of those of us who have to fix it. Every second that passes is a further indictment on the IT operation as a whole. There are no breaks, no timeouts; there's just a problem looming over all else and a brain or two spinning like centrifuges, looking for a way over, under, around, or through the problem, causing as little collateral damage as possible.
A better analogy might be that dealing with a major IT problem is like being locked in a room without food or water -- all other thoughts besides getting out of that room evaporate. There is and must be a singular focus on finding a key and working yourself free of the confinement.

Minn. man gets life in slaying of pregnant wife
An Apple Valley man was sentenced Tuesday to two consecutive life terms in the deaths of his pregnant wife and the fetus she was carrying.
Roger Holland, 37, was sentenced on two first-degree murder charges after a Dakota County jury convicted him early in the morning. The sentences carry no chance of parole.
Through a statement read by his attorney Marsh Halberg, Holland denied the killings.
"He believes he is innocent of these charges," Halberg said. "To the day he dies, he will deny he did this."
The jury deliberated 11 straight hours before returning its verdict against Holland in the March strangulation of Margorie Holland, who was 15 weeks pregnant. The couple had decided to name the unborn child Olivia.
Margorie Holland's mother, Claudia Jones, asked for consecutive life sentences - one for her daughter and the other for the unborn child, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported.
Jones reflected on the life milestones Olivia would never see. She said the family would move forward by working to reach out and spread a positive message in Margorie's name.
"My heart is crushed, but my spirit remains strong," Jones said.
Marjorie Holland's stepmother, Barbara Brown, also spoke at the sentencing. Brown said the family welcomed Holland, who married Margorie three years ago, as a husband and a son. Now, they feel empty and betrayed, she said.
"We pray God will have mercy on this man's soul," Brown said.
Judge Timothy J. McManus said if Holland committed the crime - "and only you know for sure" - the only way forward for him was to acknowledge it.
"There were three lives lost here," McManus said. "Margorie Holland, the unborn child and yours."
Roger Holland did not visibly react when the verdict was read about 1 a.m. Tuesday. Holland was convicted of two first-degree and two second-degree murder charges. A first-degree murder conviction in Minnesota carries a mandatory life sentence and is automatically appealed to the state Supreme Court. One count of each charge applied to the death of the fetus.
Earlier, Halberg, the defense attorney, said Holland was disappointed and surprised by the verdict. The defense contended that investigators decided from the start that Holland was guilty and ignored other evidence or explanations, including the possibility that his wife fell down some stairs.
During closing arguments, the prosecution told jurors that the couple's marriage was falling apart and that Margorie Holland, 37, was talking about leaving her husband. Dakota County prosecutor Phill Prokopowicz said Roger Holland had been lying to his wife about having a job and that he would have been ruined had she left him.
Prokopowicz said Holland put himself in a difficult situation by claiming he left Margorie at home on March 7 to get breakfast and returned 20 minutes later to find she had collapsed.
There were no signs of forced entry, and Holland "created this short window of opportunity that only he could enter," Prokopowicz said. He underscored the medical examiner's finding that Margorie died of strangulation and had cuts, bruises and neck injuries that were not fatal.
Prokopowicz also said Internet searches about neck breaking and breaking necks from falling down stairs pointed to premeditation, the key element of first-degree murder.
Holland told first responders he found his wife's body at the bottom of the stairs. Either the searches were "an incredible coincidence" or part of a plan to try to cover up a murder, Prokopowicz said.

NASIL: NTFS Bölümlerini Okuma/Yazma Haklarıyla Otomatik Bağlama
This will show you how to automount your root Window's parition so that you can read and write to it.
Perform the following commands to create a mountpoint and open up fstab to edit
$ su # mkdir /media/Windows # nano -w /etc/fstab
Now add the following to the bottom:
/dev/hda1 /media/Windows ntfs-fuse auto,user_xattr,unmask=000 1 1
Change /hda1 to sda1 if you have sata. /media/Windows is our new mountpoint (where you go to see the files after boot time). ntfs-fuse is telling it its a ntfs parition and fuse is needed to write to it. The rest just mounts it automatically and for all users to read and write to it.
If you have a mutliple user system and only want certain users to read/write to it, do the following:
# addgroup ntfs # adduser <username> ntfs
The output should look something like this:
Adding group `ntfs' (1002)... Done
That number is your gid an umask number to use.
and do this instead for fstab:
/dev/hda1 /media/Windows ntfs-fuse auto,gid=1002,unmask=0002 0 0
You will need to change the gid and umask to equal that of whatever your ntfs usergroup is.
There you have it. Save and exit. Then reboot and you'll have read/write access to it from /media/Windows
There is more than one way to skin this cat and one of them is ntfs-3g, however I personally favor the above as its worked for me 100% of the time
the ntfs-3g way. This worked for me :) newbies like me might prefer it. It is the newer way.
1. Perform the following commands in a konsole terminal to create a mountpoint and open up the fstab (file system table) to edit (you will need to be root, the command su means super user, and elevates you, so when it asks - type your ROOT password).
$ su # mkdir /media/Windows #this will be where you will find your ntfs disk. (also it will still show up as before mounted in storage media -it's a twofer! or nonefer!) #sudo kate /etc/fstab
Kate is a pretty, more windowsy editor, you need sudo to open the file. fstab(file hidden by default) is where the mount settings are kept (any session button will do, if you are going to have more than one file open then this keeps them neatly)
2. On the last line of fstab paste EITHER
/dev/disk/by-id/whatever /media/windowsntfs ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
The spaces are important they are in columns, people don't tell you that.. OR
/dev/sdwhatever /media/windowsntfs ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
if you are more used to the sda, sdb disk partition listing. (most of us are) You will see hda on a lot of how to's it used to be that way. sda refers to 1st disk to boot from in bios. sdb 2nd disk.. So sdb3 would mount only the 2nd disk(b) 3rd partition. But you can remove the number and get the lot or change the number... Now save the file... and exit kate. konsole may complain or hang type - exit
3. back at the konsole prompt - no need to reboot!
#edit /etc/fstab #apply modifications, yes you need the "#" before edit mount -a # mount all the not mounted partitions in /etc/fstab
Done :lol:
For more detail I mixed http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_NTFS_write_with_ntfs-3g with http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/ntfs-write-in-opensuse-613549/ look out :roll: opensuse is different somehow
A different way is the following, this way does not use fstab. Post Mounting NTFS partitions in a safe way, without /etc/fstab I want to explain you how to configure HAL to let users mount NTFS partitions without any /etc/fstab hack or shell contorsion.
Fire up your favorite terminal and become root. then copy the lines below in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/99-ntfs-policy.fdi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- --> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <!-- Mount external ntfs drives with user privileges --> <device> <match key="block.is_volume" bool="true"> <match key="volume.fsusage" string="filesystem"> <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.no_partitions_hint" bool="false"> <match key="volume.partition.msdos_part_table_type" exists="true"> <match key="volume.partition.msdos_part_table_type" int="0x07"> <merge key="volume.mount_option" type="string">umask=0222</merge> </match> </match> </match> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo>
Now, always as root, just run this command:
sed -i '/# echo "options =/s/#/MOUNTOPTIONS="$MOUNTOPTIONS,$HAL_PROP_VOLUME_MOUNT_OPTION"\n\n#/'/usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-storage-mount
Now, just reboot or, for the bravest:
/etc/init.d/hald restart
...and you are done

| 7.1°C Belfast
A passenger whose flight arrived 27 hours late has won a "landmark" compensation fight with an airline which said the delay was caused by "extraordinary circumstances".
Ronald Huzar said he was entitled to compensation under European Union regulations after suffering "no little inconvenience" when the flight from Malaga, Spain, to Manchester left a day late in October 2011.
But Jet2.com bosses claimed an exemption. They said the problem which caused the delay - a technical fault on an airliner - was unforeseeable and amounted to an "extraordinary circumstance".
The Court of Appeal today ruled in Mr Huzar's favour after a hearing in London.
Three appeal judges said the case was "of some importance to the airline passenger industry".
And a consumer rights campaigner described the ruling as a landmark.
Judges said the onus of proof was on the airline to show that extraordinary circumstances existed and that delay could not have been avoided.
And, after analysing legal argument, they concluded that the "extraordinary circumstances defence" did not apply in Mr Huzar's case.
One appeal judge listed terrorism, strikes, air traffic control problems and freak weather as events beyond the control of airline.
No personal details were given for Mr Huzar in the appeal court ruling handed down today.
Judges had heard evidence at a hearing in May.
They had been asked to analyse the case following a ruling by a judge in a county court in Manchester.
"The amount of people looking to claim against the airlines amounts to big business, " said campaigner James Walker, founder of complaints resolution website www.resolver.co.uk , after the appeal court ruling.
"In January alone there were 499 flights where a claim could potentially be made. At most, 5-10% of claims are currently upheld by the airlines."
He added: " Today's judgment is a landmark case ... airlines need to beware the reasons for rejecting or delaying claims are being eroded."
Richard Lloyd, executive director of consumer organisation Which?, said: "This ruling shows that airlines cannot avoid ducking their responsibilities by claiming that routine technical problems are extraordinary circumstances.
"Airlines must be transparent about the causes of delay and ensure that consumers have sufficient information to exercise their rights."

Some readers may know that in one of my other lives I write Star Wars books — the latest one, The Essential Guide to Warfare [1], just came out today. Between that and Opening Day, it's going to be a pretty busy week — and so I couldn't resist one post mixing these normally separate worlds.
They aren't always separate worlds, of course — R.A. Dickey has been a one-man crossover, and I've even worn stormtrooper armor at Citi Field [2]. But mostly they stand apart. At time I've found myself explaining Star Wars and sports fans to each other — and noting that they're really not that different.
Yeah, I let the daily dramas of 25 young millionaires affect my happiness. But so what? They really are dramas — each season has twists and turns and heroes and villains as compelling as those in a galaxy far, far away.
Yeah, some of those dudes dress up as stormtroopers and Wookiees. But so what? You, my friend, appear to be wearing the top half of a David Wright costume.
The Mets have occasionally invoked Star Wars themselves — last year, they had a great skit with Darth Vader confronting Dickey (channeling Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi) and the new pitch he'd constructed, and years ago there was a scoreboard video with the Millennium Falcon amid the asteroids and various rival logos getting blown up while "The Imperial March" boomed out of the Shea speakers.
That video was kind of lame, but during the middle innings of one interminable loss I found myself musing about a Mets/Star Wars video that might really work, given some creatively added graphics and voice-overs. Or probably not, but it entertained me.
As prologue, think back to The Empire Strikes Back, and Darth Vader chatting over intergalactic long distance with the Emperor. We're going to use that scene, except Vader has a Yankee logo on his helmet. The Emperor (who once upon a time was going to be George Steinbrenner) fulminates about a great disturbance in the Force. The sons of Shea, he warns Vader, must not become Jedi.
Now flip to the original Star Wars and the Rebel pilots calling in as they prepare to attack the Death Star. The X-Wings are orange and blue. The Death Star is pinstriped, with that other NY (the awful skeletal one) on the radar dish. Now we cut to a roll call of various Mets superimposed on cockpit footage, wearing a flight helmet with a Mets logo instead of the Rebel insignia. Instead of Red Leader, Red 2, etc., we have Met Leader, Met 2, and so forth. Johan Santana gets to be Met Leader. For our other pilots, let's say Daniel Murphy, Ike Davis, and maybe Justin Turner. Perhaps Lucas Duda doesn't say anything, shades of John Olerud in the grand Mets-Yankees stickball ad of a generation ago. David Wright, the earnest Luke of our age, gets to be Met 5. His number even matches and everything.
Now you get your highlights and shots of cheering fans, interspersed with bits of Star Wars. (Give Dickey gets a cameo as Han Solo, telling Wright/Luke he's all clear, with Jon Rauch contributing a Wookiee roar.) Met 5 takes his shot and the pinstriped Death Star is blown to smithereens. Cut to the tag line (my favorite part): JOIN THE REBELLION.
They'd never do it, of course — the Mets hate the little-brother role, and that might be excessive use of footage or something lawyerly and tedious. But I've always thought it would be awesome, even for those of us whose worlds wouldn't be in bizarre collision.
Plus if they do it, I promise to borrow a stormtrooper costume again.

Mindfulness is a simple yet profound practice that changes lives. If you're committed to mindful living, eager to learn more about its growing influence across all facets of society, or only beginning to discover the transformative power of mindfulness, sign up now to begin Creating a Mindful Society.
This pioneering event in New York City will feature keynote presentations by four outstanding leaders in the mindfulness field—Jon Kabat-Zinn,
Richard J. Davidson, Janice Marturano, and US Congressman Tim Ryan—plus a rich program of dialogue and practice sessions. Now available, the streaming on-demand edition of this historic conference explores all the proven, practical ways that mindfulness can transform our lives from the inside out—and help reshape society, from health, work, and family to education, leadership, and policy.

Everywhere we turn, we face the need to let go of old ways of doing things and enter uncharted territory.

- How can we develop, demonstrate, and gain acceptance for specific applications of mindfulness in different aspects of society and the workplace?
- How do we help create a mindful society, in terms of both civil society and public policy?
- What is the future of the mindfulness community? Where do we go from here?

Governance & Fragility
Governance & Fragility
Governance has become a major concern for both donors and aid recipient countries since the late 1980s. Very poor quality governance is also one of the defining characteristics of state fragility, and social unrest and violence may both exacerbate and be caused by weak institutions.

Police break up underage drinking party at Wrentham motel
31 arrested at Arbor Inn
Thirty-one people were arrested early Saturday morning in Wrentham after police said they broke up an underage drinking party at a motel.
According to the Sun Chronicle, when officers arrived to the Arbor Inn on Route 1 for a noise complaint, police said they found 31 people, including 29 minors, in a room filled with alcohol.
In addition to bottles of beer, hard liquor and a small amount of marijuana, officers said a table was set up in the middle of the room for beer pong, a drinking game.
Police told the paper that the room had been rented by Marc McLaughlin, 21, of Raynham.
North Attleborough police were called in to transport those at the party to the police department.
Authorities said of the 29 minors taken into custody, four were juveniles.
McLaughlin and Alyssa Pazynot, 22, of Brockton, were each charged with furnishing alcohol to minors.
Police said Robert Ruiz-Poliatano, 19, and Tevin Bell, both of Taunton; Ian GoldSchmidt, 19, of Mansfield; and Matthew Hilchey, 18, of Raynham, were each charged with being minors in possession of alcohol.
All are scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Wrentham District Court.
At least 20 others face the same charges and are due in court at a later date.

The magician hold two cards in his hands face down. He ask the spectator to name two cards. "So, what are the two cards you pictured in your mind?" ............. "And they match." He shows the two cards in his hands, which have Chinese sign on them.
After this, the magician makes four Chinese coins appear from the two cards.
Before each coins appearance the magician shows both sides of both of the cards.
The fantastic effect can even be taken further with making a giant Chinese coin appear as a finale (in case you already have one).
Bonus Routine:
The Magician shows the audience a Chinese coin in his left hand. He puts the coin in his pocket with his right hand. Than he snaps with his fingers and the coin reappears in his left hand. After he put the Chinese coin in his pocket for the third time, he asks the question: "What is this trick good for?.One Dollar!" And he shows his left hand in which a silver dollar has appeared. He immediately passes out the dollar coin for examination.

[UPDATE: This story was originally published on April 5.]
Sure, we all feel enormous pressure to keep up appearances in our sometimes too-vain town. But can you imagine how stressful it would be if your livelihood depended on looking uber-attractive 24/7? We're not talking model-slash-actresses here—we mean the beauty experts we trust implicitly to get our tresses and skin in tip-top shape. After all, if their pro ducks aren't in a row, how can we envision them morphing us into wannabe glamour queens?
In this industry, seeing is believing, so we've scouted out five local beauty aces, who let us snoop around their bathrooms and snap the secret products lurking inside each of their arsenals. Behold, the lotion- and potion-filled cabinets of L.A.'s top aestheticians, hair stylists, and makeup wunderkinds, and find out what's cookin' on these good-lookin' gurus' shelves. .

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/the-flirt-by-booth-tarkington/
Laura and Cora Madison and their younger brother Hedrick live with their parents in a Midwestern American town that is fairly bursting with Cora's discarded and would-be beaus. Her flirtatiousness annoys the tempestuous Hedrick but not the reserved Laura. The return to town of a handsome, charming former resident and an encounter with a deranged young person set in motion a roller-coaster of events that interweave and play out to an exciting, emotional climax.

La Vigie Restaurant in Monte-Carlo – summer lazing in style
Sure, it's still a few months before summer kicks in but if you plan to visit La Vigie Restaurant in Monte-Carlo, you better start saving up some money now (this is no surprise, but everything in Monaco requires a few wads of cash).
Located in the Monte-Carlo Beach hotel complex, La Vigie offers exquisite Mediterranean inspired dishes in a tranquil setting. Chef Paolo Sari, an Italian who learned the trade in Italy, Switzerland and the US, specializes in seafood. We tried the buffet and grill during lunch-time and we can definitely vouch that this is one of the better places around. The meal is complemented by a grandiose view of the sea and an excellent selection of wine.
You reach La Vigie by taking a small path from the Monte-Carlo private beach, or, if you happen to arrive by yacht (damn, we are NOT jealous…okay a little bit maybe), the restaurant also has its own landing-dock where you can moor your boat. It's a nice little amenity that is appreciated by the "floating villa owners".
This small gem is only open two months a year (28 June – 25 August), so if you happen to be in the area on those dates, we can definitely recommend this elegant place for some great food and boat watching. La Vigie Restaurant will not let you down.

How to Turn Disillusioned or Hostile Shareholders into Supporters of Your Long-Term Growth Strategies and Decisions, and Boost Your Stock Price18 January, 2012 | (01 hr)
Sign In to access this Webcast
U.S. investors just endured the worst stock market decade in recent history, witnessed numerous corporate accounting scandals, and were exposed to a stream of managerial pay excesses and stock options manipulations. No wonder they desert equities in droves and push legislators to constrain managers' decision space and power. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank legislation, and the recent enactment of investors' mandatory "say on pay" vote regarding managerial compensation are recent outcomes of investors' deep resentment of public companies and their managers. Obviously executives have to respond to ensure the continued success of their companies and their own careers. But how do we alleviate the deep investor disillusionment and regain and maintain shareholders' trust? Not easy. Managers' strategies and actions are hindered by widespread myths and misconceptions about capital markets distorting their policies. Managers believe, for example, that investors are myopic, obsessed with quarterly earnings; that missing the earnings consensus is a calamity; that shareholder lawsuits are on the rise and are frivolous; that shareholder activism is a nuisance; and that no information should be publicly disclosed beyond the legally required. These beliefs and others are factually wrong but they shape managers' capital markets strategies.
In this webcast Professor Baruch Lev will critically examine managers' beliefs and chart a coherent, practicable set of policies and actions to regain and maintain investors' support. These will be based on his recently published book: Winning Investors Over: Surprising Truths About Honesty, Earnings Guidance, and Other Ways to Boost Your Stock Price (Harvard Business Review Press, 2012).
Participants will:
- Learn how to alleviate the deep investor disillusionment and regain and maintain shareholders' trust
- Chart a coherent, practicable set of policies and actions to regain and maintain investors' support
- Executives involved in Finance, Accounting, Audit, Investor Relations, Legal and Corporate Governance, and the C-Suite

Braylon Stover is $1,500 richer and he owes it all to his mother, Laura.
Laura filled out a sweepstakes coupon during Stair Public Library's Summer Reading Program this past July.
Braylon was one of six winners in a state-wide drawing sponsored by the Library of Michigan Foundation, the Michigan Education Savings Program and the Michigan Education Trust.
Because Laura carefully filled out the "Get Creative @ Saving for College" Sweepstakes coupon, her entry was accepted in the drawing. And because Braylon participated in Stair Public Library's Summer Reading Program, the library won $1,000 for future reading programs.
"It was such an unexpected source of income in these awful economic times," said library director Colleen Leddy.
"We had already lost about $4,000 in penal fines and state aid this summer compared to last year, so we were thrilled to receive this check," she said, especially since the staff didn't have to do anything but hand out the information about the state savings programs.
"And, even then, it was our wonderful VolunTeens who compiled the packets containing bookmarks, brochures and coupon postcards, and handed them out to all the children in the Summer Reading Program," Leddy said.
"It was the most painless way to earn $1,000 and we are so grateful to the VolunTeens and all the parents who participated."
Leddy hopes more parents participate in the sweepstakes next summer.
"The more entries submitted from Morenci, the better our chances are for winning again."

Prospect Martinez remains delayed by visa issues
JUPITER, Fla. -- The Cardinals are nearly a week into Spring Training, and right-hander Carlos Martinez remains a no-show due to visa issues restricting him from leaving the Dominican Republic. General manager John Mozeliak said that the club has still not been given any indication on when to anticipate his arrival.
Martinez's absence has prohibited him from taking advantage of working alongside pitchers from the Cardinals' Major League roster. The Cardinals had invited the 21-year-old rising prospect to big league camp for that type of exposure.
However, with each day that passes, Martinez's window of time in Major League camp is shrinking. Though he is throwing while awaiting approval of his visa, he's now not on the same schedule as the Cardinals' pitchers who began workouts under coach supervision in Jupiter last week.
If the Cardinals determine that Martinez is too far behind, they could alter his assignment and send him immediately to Minor League camp. The organization has an early Minor League camp that begins on Saturday.
"The key is we don't want him to be injured," Mozeliak said when asked about potential scenarios for Martinez. "He's probably working out and stuff, but it's probably not the same as being here. We want to make sure that he can prepare for the season. Obviously, he was invited to Major League camp but can't get in."
After making seven high-A starts to begin the 2012 season, Martinez posted a 2.90 ERA in 15 Double-A appearances (14 starts). He was recently ranked by MLB.com as baseball's 33rd-best prospect heading into 2013.

"We need to become agitators," says Norman Solomon, Marin County activist and co-creator of the Green New Deal for the North Bay.
"It's the agitator that gets the dirt out in the washing machine," he explains, borrowing an analogy from Jim Hightower. Solomon sees the wash cycle as a good behavior model for those of us who avoid political activism in favor of safe and lazy pondering over how much trouble the world is in right now. It's such a hassle to get involved with strangers and go to meetings. Can't we just whine to our friends about corporate greed and corruption in the comfort of our own homes?
We can, at high cost.
"So much is at stake for future generations and for the planet," declares Solomon, "that we need to be willing to organize as if our lives and the lives of those close to us depended on it." For Solomon, this means that as individuals and as communities we need to get more serious about our involvement with one another and with things we care about. "Getting involved is essential," says Solomon. "There's that saying, 'I'm not into politics.' I say, 'But politics is into you.' When you turn on the tap for a drink of water, that's politics."
For those who turn off like a faucet at the mention of political activism, Solomon's approach may inspire willingness to open up and flow. The secret seems to be finding out how "agitating" looks for each individual. (I can just hear Garrison Keillor asking, "What are the shy folks supposed to do?") Agitating can be direct or it can be as uncomplicated as pursuing something we love with greater gusto than we ever have before.
"One simple step," Solomon explains, "is to learn and to agitate." This means choosing something close to your heart, learning everything you possibly can about it and then becoming a source of information for others, the go-to font of knowledge in your neighborhood or community.
"People get afraid that they will have to do something they don't want to do. Everyone is different, and it's important that everybody engage at their level of passion and interest and capacity."
Can political involvement be something more uplifting than a dose of corporate-sponsored news each night? "People look at the news and are depressed, but activists tend to be less depressed," Solomon says. "There's something so enlivening that happens when you share your thoughts and feelings and ideas with others—people inspiring because of who they are."
A critical byproduct of all this social agitation is a changed relationship with power. "'Power' is a word that causes a lot of ambivalence," says Solomon. "For progressives, we need power to shape the future instead of just having it created for us. I know we will not like it if it is created by the most powerful forces that exist right now."
Referencing what one beloved agitator, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., called the paralysis of analysis, Solomon says we need to stop pondering and get out and do something, and as a consequence, we "get to find out what we are capable of." He believes that sinking roots more deeply into the communities where we live is part of a broad social movement that can take on corporate power. "These roots already exist," says Solomon. And because these roots feed the community in various ways, as we learn to become agitators, we allow ourselves to be more extensively nurtured by roots that already exist.
"Everyone cares about something," Solomon says. "Learn about it and agitate about it. If you care about it and you want things to get better, then you get with your friends and your neighbors, and together you say we can get this done, yes we can turn this around. Si, se puede. There are reasons to be engaged, because it's about the future. It's a cliché, but it's true, that if the people will lead, the leaders will follow."

Let award-winning photographer Joel Meyerowitz's new book, Legacy , be your guide. He was asked several years earlier by Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe to conduct a photographic survey of the city's parks, a task that hadn't been done since the 1930s as part of FDR's WPA program.
He began by photographing people in the most populated parts of the parks, trying to take account of the city's "assets"--things like its swimming pools, ball fields and playgrounds. However, he soon found himself drawn to the off-road parts of the parks, and it was in Queens' Forest Park that Meyerowitz decided he would proceed by photographing the wild, untamed side of the parks.
Meyorowitz said that parks are, for the most part, a product of managed nature. People cut the grass and clean up the litter. He wanted to show people that the parts of the park where things were allowed to fall and rot, where infestations of creatures were unfettered, could be beautiful as well.
"The density of nature becomes rude density because it makes no concession to the visitor. There's no path through it that makes it an easy stroll," said Meyerowitz.
Over the next three years, he captured on film scenes from 60 of the city's more than 800 parks in all four seasons, covering an astonishing 29,000 acres of parkland.
Gaze upon the overgrown shrubs, fallen trees and decaying plant growth and you will hardly believe you are still inside NYC.
So just how did Meyerowitz decide what to photograph out of the tens of thousands of acres' parkland that he explored?
"It became for me the way of photographing, when I had the experience that I was suddenly back in nature, without necessarily seeing the picture in my eye, but feeling the picture by my skin," he said.
Meyerowitz explained that there is an invisible line where the man-made world ends and the natural one begins. He knew he had crossed it when he sensed subtle differences such as the scent of mold and earth and he felt the cool of the forest. These were the moments he had to capture.
He found favorite spots in each of the five boroughs, but his favorite experience was canoeing on the Bronx River.
"To be able to get in a canoe in the city and go between waterfalls, go through the Botanical Gardens, Bronx Zoo, hear the animals roaring in the Bronx Zoo while you're in the canoe and hoping they don't get loose, that to me is truly a remarkable experience," said Meyerowitz.
He actually grew up in the Bronx, playing many a game along the river, but he was elated to find that the Bronx River was still the Bronx River and that the parks he played in as a child had remained virtually unchanged.
Legacy is fittingly named because it chronicles the raw and untamed beauty that will be left for future generations.
"The fact that some vestiges of it remain inside the density of the city was of pure wonder for me," said Meyerowitz. "I think this book is an expression of the wonder that I was able to feel when, as an adult, I crossed the line and discovered a piece of it that was still there, intact in some way."

Germany's Bundesbank warned Greece on Wednesday that if it failed to carry through with reforms it had previously agreed to, it would jeopardize any further aid funds. The hard line came even as Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany prepared to stand firm against a wave of opposition to her commitment to austerity, with "taboos" such as joint euro bonds on the table at a summit meeting of European leaders.
Reuters reported Wednesday that the Bundesbank's monthly report talked tough about Greece, saying that the situation there was "extremely worrying" and that Athens would have to suffer the consequences of any refusal to adhere to previously agreed-upon measures. At the same time, however, the report said that should such a situation come to pass, the euro zone would be in for challenges that it termed "considerable but manageable."
The report also took a shot at European leaders, warning them not to ease up the pressure on Greece in order for the struggling country to have continued access to funding. In part, it said, "A significant dilution of exiting agreements would damage confidence in all euro area agreements and treaties and strongly weaken incentives for national reform."
Saying that providing liquidity to Greece had resulted in "considerable risks" for the Eurosystem of central banks in the eurozone, the Bundesbank warned, "In light of the current situation, it should not significantly increase these risks." The report continued, "Instead, the parliaments and governments of the member states should decide on the manner in which any further financial assistance is provided and therefore whether the associated risks should be assumed."
The Bundesbank also took a stand against any stimulus for Germany, saying that growth fueled by construction and consumption would continue in the second quarter, and that manufacturing would "probably only make a comparatively small contribution."
It continued, "In light of all this, calls on German fiscal policymakers to loosen their fiscal policy stance in order to stimulate the economy appear inappropriate. Attempting to kick-start the economy in the short term and putting off consolidation efforts in the long term are not conducive to regaining lost confidence."
While that tough stance was echoed in Merkel's resistance to joint euro bonds, according to the Financial Times, she will be hard pressed to resist calls from numerous countries at the Brussels summit on Wednesday when they are led by France's new president, Francois Hollande, who has been a strong advocate for them. And Hollande is far from the loudest speaker about them.
According to a Bloomberg report, European Union President Herman Van Rompuy issued a plea in his invitation letter for the May meeting for "no taboos concerning the longer-term perspective." Van Rompuy was quoted saying, "the perspective of moving toward a more integrated system would increase confidence in the euro."
He also wrote that a discussion of the eurozone crisis would only come at the end of the summit, and warned that no action would likely be taken on the matter until another summit meeting is scheduled for the end of June.
Germany has already dismissed the notion of joint euro bonds, which could erode Berlin's creditworthiness and boost its borrowing costs even as they eased funding restrictions for the eurozone's weaker member states.
One senior German official was quoted saying, "There is no way of introducing them under the current [EU] treaties. Indeed, there is an explicit ban on them." He added that Germany would not change its mind about such bonds any time soon, saying, "That's a firm conviction which will not change in June."
Germany is joined in its opposition by Austria, Finland and the Netherlands, all with better financial standing than many of the countries supporting the bonds. "I won't sacrifice the Austrian credit rating," Finance Minister Maria Fekter of Austria was quoted saying on Tuesday. "I'm not willing to see Austria potentially pay double the interest rates we currently do."
Still, there is powerful support for the bonds. Pier Carlo Padoan, chief economist for the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), was quoted saying, "We need to get on the path towards the issuance of euro bonds sooner rather than later."
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) appears to lean toward the bonds as well, although its head, Christine Lagarde, stopped short of saying so. In calling for more sharing of the load, she said in the report that "more needs to be done, particularly by way of fiscal liability sharing"—an apparent reference to joint euro bonds.

John Morgan, based in Brisbane, Australia, is an investigative writer with a diploma in journalism. Since 2005 he has carried out extensive full-time research into the events surrounding the deaths of Diana, Princess of Wales and Dodi Fayed. After studying the Paget report when it was published in December 2006, he was shocked by the content of it. He realised that the £4 million report which took three years to produce was littered with inaccuracies and poorly drawn conclusions -- John viewed it as a huge injustice to the memory of Princess Diana. The 2007 book, Cover-up of a Royal Murder, was the result of his subsequent investigation into the Paget report. John went on to closely follow and analyse the proceedings and transcripts of the London inquest into the deaths of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed. The Diana Inquest series of books is the result of his thorough research and investigation into that process. John Morgan can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com
