From the National Review Gomez's Upset Victory Shakes Up Mass. Senate Race
Massachusetts voters will fill Secretary of State John Kerry's Senate seat on June 25. The choices couldn't be more of a contrast. Democrat Ed Markey is a 66-year-old liberal who was first elected to Congress in 1976, when eight-track tapes were the rage. Republican Gabriel Gomez, is a 47-year-old with an MBA from Harvard, who is the son of Columbian immigrants and a former Navy SEAL. He raised $1.2 million in yesterday's GOP primary, which enabled him to buy TV ads that led to an upset 51 percent to 36 percent victory over Michael Sullivan, a conservative former district attorney.
Massachusetts is a deeply blue state but surprises can happen in elections that don't feature presidential levels of voter turnout. Four of the last six governors have been Republicans, and in 2010 Scott Brown shook the political world with his upset special-election victory. He went on to lose his reelection bid in 2012, as Barack Obama swept the state.

Details - Watching Television Come of Age
The New York Times Reviews by Jack Gould
Edited by Lewis L. Gould
Focus on American History Series
Don E. Carleton, editor
University of Texas Press
266 pages, 6 x 9 inches
Providing video companionship for isolated housewives, afternoon babysitting for children, and nonstop evening entertainment for the whole family, television revolutionized American society in the post-World War II years. Helping the first TV generation make sense of the new medium was the mission of Jack Gould, television critic of The New York Times from 1947 to 1972. In columns noteworthy for crisp writing, pointed insights, and fair judgment, he highlighted both the untapped possibilities and the imminent perils of television, becoming "the conscience of the industry" for many people.
In this book, historian Lewis L. Gould, Jack Gould's son, collects over seventy of his father's best columns. Grouped topically, they cover a wide range of issues, including the Golden Age of television drama, McCarthy-era blacklisting, the rise and fall of Edward R. Murrow, quiz show scandals, children's programming, and the impact of television on American life and of television criticism on the medium itself. Lewis Gould also supplies a brief biography of his father that assesses his influence on the evolution of television, as well as prefaces to each section.
Lewis L. Gould has appeared on "Howdy Doody," "The CBS Morning News," and "The ABC World News Tonight." A resident of Austin, Texas, he is an internationally recognized scholar of American political history and commentator on the role of First Ladies.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is nothing more than a virus that belongs to the group of infections called Ransomware. The name for it came from the feature characteristic to all of this type infection. It demands for a ransom in order to remove the problems it causes. Although there is a lot of talking going on about computer attacks like this one, people still fall for this scam and give away their money to cyber criminals. The amounts are not that small, e.g. DOJ virus asks for a ransom of 300 USD. Let's have a more detailed look at this infection and the methods it uses to swindle peoples' money away.
Cyber criminals use sophisticated methods for spreading The Department of Justice virus. No wonder that the same computer might get infected with it more than once. The most common nowadays way of injecting this ransomware is via corrupted websites. These do not necessary have to be of a suspicious origin, like sex sites. Scammers use such web pages like job search or similar.
As soon as DOJ virus gets inside the system, it blocks an infected computer's screen completely. The only thing a person sees is a message:
The work of your computer has been suspended on the grounds of the violation of the law of the United States of America.
Article 274 – Copyright
A fine or imprisonment for the term of up to 4 years. (The use or sharing of copyrighted files-movies, software)
Amount of the fine is $300. Payment must be made within 24 hours after the discovery of the violation. If the fine has not been paid, you will become the subject of criminal prosecution.
To strengthen the effect of the message cyber criminals use The United States Department of Justice name and logo and even a countdown timer, a bogus case number and FBI agent name. If you have never seen a ransomware before, you may easily get convinced that the message is true and pay the money. You may do it out of fear, especially if your computer has a webcam installed because this virus is programmed to turn it on and show your picture. It also has a note that any video and photo material will be used for your as a criminal's identification.
Alas paying the fine will not fix an infected computer. The only reliable way to remove the Department of Justice (DOJ) virus is by using legitimate tools and instructions available in reputable sources. For the future note, if you are asked to pay money using prepaid payment system and this is supposed to be for a governmental/official institution, it is a clear sign of scam.

How head injuries in children happen
No matter how vigilant or conscientious you are, child injuries, like a knock on the noggin, happen somehow — and for kids under five, the majority of head injuries occur at home. A wobbly toddler can tumble from the kitchen chair he insists on climbing. Or you can turn your attention away for a moment and find that your baby has rolled off the bed. Luckily, children mostly get minor head injuries— small bumps and cuts that can be soothed by an ice pack or a bandage and kisses. But sometimes, a fall will cause a gash that needs stitches or result in something more serious, like a concussion.
How to treat head injuries in children
At first glance, minor head injuries can seem worse than they really are, so don't panic (even if it's your first instinct). If you lose control, chances are your child will take his cue from you, think there's something to worry about, and become hard to console. Instead, try your best to stay calm and do the following:
- If your child is bleeding heavily, put a clean cloth or bandage on the wound first and apply direct pressure for several minutes. Keep in mind that cuts on the head and face bleed more than anywhere else because there are more blood vessels there, so don't be alarmed if it looks gory! It doesn't necessarily mean the cut is severe.
- For minor cuts and scrapes on the face, gently rinse the area with mild soap and warm water, apply an antibacterial ointment, and cover it with a bandage.
- If you see a minor bump on the head and your child doesn't seem too upset, an ice pack (or a bag of frozen veggies, if that's all you've got) is good for easing discomfort and reducing inflammation, as is ibuprofen (but only give your baby ibuprofen if he's six months or older). And don't forget the TLC!
When to call the doctor
You can treat most minor head injuries at home. But if your child has any of the following symptoms, call your pediatrician.
- There is a gaping cut on your child's face (this will often require stitches).
- The bleeding doesn't stop after five or ten minutes of applying pressure to the wound.
- Your child is inconsolable and won't stop crying.
- Your child landed headfirst onto a hard surface.
What to do if you suspect your child has suffered a concussion
If your child has suffered a serious blow to his head or was knocked unconscious (even for a minute), he could have a concussion, which is a bruise to the brain. Call the doctor, who will probably recommend that you:
- Keep your child awake for the first hour or so to make sure you get a clear sense of his mental well-being before he naps or goes to sleep for the night. You want to make sure your child isn't dizzy or confused. For a baby, this could mean he's crying and not acting like his usual self. A toddler or preschooler could lose his balance or complain that he can't see.
- Check on your child every couple of hours when he's sleeping to get a look at his skin color and breathing pattern. If all appears normal, there's no need to wake him. If he looks pale or his breathing seems irregular, rouse him gently. If he fusses and tries to go back to sleep, all is well. If you can't wake him up, call 911.
- Keep tabs on your child for the next 24 hours. Call the doctor or 911 if your little one exhibits any of these symptoms: vomiting, imbalance, confusion, listlessness, extreme irritability, changes in eating, sleeping, or breathing patterns, complaints of a headache, slurred speech, eye irregularities (such as enlarged pupils or crossed eyes), seizure, blood or fluid discharge from the nose, or a loss of consciousness.
How to prevent head injuries in children
There's no surefire way to keep your wobbly baby or waddling toddler from taking a dive, but there are ways to reduce the likelihood of one. They include:
- Babyproof, babyproof, babyproof! To minimize the danger zones in your house, take precautions such as putting safety gates at the tops and bottoms of stairs and installing window guards. It's a good idea to go through another round of childproofing before your baby takes his first steps.
- Never leave your baby or toddler alone on a high piece of furniture such as a bed, changing table, or high chair.
- Always strap your child into the stroller and high chair or onto the changing table.
- Keep "climbable" furniture away from windows so that your child can't get to open windows (even if they have window guards).
- Don't use a baby walker since your child may fall out of it or fall down the stairs while using it.
- Always practice playground safety. Watch your toddler when he is playing outside, and stay within arm's reach when he's on a high surface.
- If you have a play gym or swing set in your yard, cover the area under and around it with soft materials (like wood chips or rubber mulch) so if (or when!) your toddler tumbles, he will fall onto a softer surface.

In this [article from *The Wire*](http://www.thewire.co.uk/in-writing/interviews/burial_unedited-transcript), the following question and answer takes place: "Burial: I've seen people using sequencers and I've tried hard to use them but it's blocks in different colours and I'm only used to just seeing the waves. I don't need to listen much to the drums because I know they look nice, like a fishbone, rigged up to be kind of skitty, sharp. My tunes are a bit rubbish and messy but it's all I know. One day I want to make a tune people can have a dance to, I've tried. Wire: What did you think when people were saying that you hadn't produced it all in Sound Forge, it's a scam. Burial: Who? Wire: People on the internet, saying he can't possibly have done that whole album in Sound Forge. Burial: Really? Yeah well I did. I'll leave those people to their internet or whatever. Yeah I wish sometimes that I'd gone to college to learn music production, but other times I'm like 'no, fuck, I'm happy I didn't'." Judging by the 2010 post date of this, Burial was most likely using Sound Forge 10.more
Jon Hopkins talks about how he uses Sound Forge along with Logic Pro to create his music.more
Sony Sound Forge Pro 10 is a outstanding waveform editor. It's quick, simple and easy to use. The only problem I had with my personal experience is that some of the presets didn't work properly. Had a few bugs here and there. That's why I lean more towards Sound Forge Pro 9, where I didn't have any problems at all.
I agree. I tried so many different editors, on both Mac and PC, and nothing compares to Sound Forge.
very good tool to work precisely on your sounds and samples !! a good companion for Cubase, and Acid Pro...
i use soundforge pro only for edit audio
I have Been using this to Master my Tracks with this torpedo really brings out my tracks dynamics ...

Tuberous Sclerosis Program
The University of Chicago Medicine is home to a unique tuberous sclerosis program, where pediatric neurologists and neurosurgeons diagnose and manage this condition in patients of all ages. By including adults and children in one comprehensive clinic, our specialists are able to provide continuity of care as patients born with tuberous sclerosis transition into adulthood. In addition, our pediatric neurosurgeons have the knowledge and skill to treat children of all ages and also adult patients who were previously asymptomatic.
Read more about:
What is Tuberous Sclerosis?
Tuberous sclerosis is a neurological disorder that can cause growths (called tubers) and tumors to develop inside vital organs, including the brain, kidneys, lungs, heart and skin. While the tumors typically are non-cancerous, they can cause serious health complications if left untreated. Some individuals with tuberous sclerosis experience developmental delay, mental retardation and/or seizures. Other individuals have milder symptoms, such as unusual patches of light-colored skin, red patches, and/or rough growths around the nails.
Tuberous sclerosis is caused by a genetic mutation that either is inherited from a parent or acquired during development before a children is born. A congenital condition, tuberous sclerosis is present at birth and often diagnosed during infancy, but also can remain undiagnosed in individuals with mild forms. It is a life-long disease that requires ongoing monitoring and management. At the University of Chicago, our physicians understand that symptoms and health concerns change as patients grow. We provide personalized care for patients in all stages of life and with varying courses of tuberous sclerosis.
Back to top
Advanced Diagnostics
Our neurologists use a variety of tools to diagnose this complex condition. The tools may include:
- Eye examination to look for abnormal growths in the retina
- Skin examination to look for abnormal lesions, or light or red patches
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which provides information about brain and kidney lesions
- Electroencephalogram (EEG), which records electrical activity in the brain
- Computed tomography scan (CT scan), which produces detailed images of bones, muscles, fat and organs
- Genetic testing to determine if the genetic mutation associated with tuberous sclerosis is present. Genetic counseling also can determine if tuberous sclerosis affects other members of the patient's family.
Back to top
Understanding Treatment Options
Although there currently is no cure for tuberous sclerosis, early intervention and comprehensive care can help patients to manage their symptoms. The exact course of treatment will depend on a variety of factors, such as the patient's age, medical history and tolerance for certain medications, as well as the severity and projected course of the disease. Before recommending treatment, University of Chicago Medicine neurologists assess each individual's needs and create a detailed care plan. Some strategies that our expert physicians may suggest include:
- Medication to treat tumors, control seizures or manage related behavioral problems
- Surgery to treat skin lesions or remove any tumors that affect vital organs
- Educational and/or occupational therapy to maximize the individuals' ability to perform everyday tasks
- Vagus nerve stimulation, a minimally invasive surgical alternative for patients experiencing seizures

East Coast test rocket launch scrubbed
WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. – A private company hired by NASA to make supply runs to the International Space Station scrubbed a Wednesday test launch of an unmanned rocket, saying an important data cord linked to the rocket's second stage detached too soon.
The towering Antares rocket had been scheduled to blast off Wednesday afternoon from Wallops Island on Virginia's Eastern Shore when the countdown clock was halted at the 12-minute mark.
Barron Beneski, a spokesman for Dulles-based Orbital Sciences Corp., said another launch attempt would be tried no sooner than Friday afternoon.
Orbital crews were expected to examine the rocket through the night to determine how the ethernet cable came loose. Several other cables in the same area all remained attached to the rocket. Orbital officials had said initially they suspected high winds.
The launch director for NASA's Wallops Flight Facility granted Orbital permission to proceed with a launch as long as winds didn't exceed 23 mph, up from a 17-mph cap originally in place. At the time the cable separated, the winds were blowing less than 7 mph, said Frank Culbertson, executive vice president and general manager of Orbital's Advanced Programs.
"They were really light," he said. "You know, we don't know if it was something blowing in the wind or a big sea gull."
Orbital officials had said low-hanging cloud cover was a concern Wednesday as a possible launch window of several hours was shortened to just 10 minutes.
Culbertson said the initial weather forecast didn't look good for another try Friday but a decision was expected to be made Thursday on the next attempt.
The planned launch by the Washington area commercial firm was designed to test whether a practice payload could reach orbit and safely separate from the rocket. Orbital executives have said the tests would prove their capability to carry out several supply runs they contracted for with NASA.
Orbital was one of two commercial companies, along with California-based competitor SpaceX, chosen to supply the space station by NASA, which ended its three-decade-old shuttle program in 2011.
SpaceX, based in Hawthorne, Calif., was awarded a $1.6 billion contract by NASA in 2006 to make a dozen restocking missions. SpaceX has linked up with the space station three times. In 2008, Orbital jumped in and was awarded a $1.9 billion contract for eight deliveries.
"We've been playing catch up, but we're about caught up," Culbertson had said recently as test plans loomed. "By the end of next year we should have an additional four or five cargo missions under our belt, so we're going to be moving fast."
If ultimately successful in testing Antares, Orbital executives have said they hoped to launch a rocket this summer carrying its Cygnus cargo ship aloft to see whether it could safely dock with the space station.
Orbital is under contract to eventually deliver about 44,000 pounds of supplies to the space station and envisions making about two deliveries per year. Its cargo ship would carry about 4,400 pounds worth of supplies on its first three missions and 5,600 pounds on its last five.
Unlike the SpaceX's Dragon capsule, which is capable of two-way deliveries, the Orbital cargo ship is not designed to return with experiments or other items from the space station. Instead, Orbital's plans call for filling its Cygnus ship with garbage to be incinerated with the craft upon re-entering Earth's atmosphere. That's also what Russian, European and Japanese cargo ships do.

Finding a proper treatment for genital warts is a tough process for most people.
Some estimates say that nearly 50% of all American adults will encounter the virus at some point in their lives. Once a person has contracted genital warts, it is impossible to get rid of it entirely.
But genital warts treatments are all over the internet so how do you find one that really works?
Simply put, you don't–without doing a good bit of research first. While you should definitely see your doctor about confirming your HPV diagnosis, going to a doctor regarding treatment options will only guarantee you an expensive prescription.
What type of treatments are available?
Science has given us a handful of powerful genital warts treatments that actually work. We've taken a look at a few of them on our website, check them out. These products are attractive alternatives to the painful options typically associated with treating genital warts like cryotherapy (burning the warts off). Pain is bad. Relief is good. 🙂
Regardless of what you choose, you should never substitute advice you find on the internet for real medical advise given to you by your doctor or health care professional. 2012 looks like its going to be a good year with medical advancements and hopefully we will see some advancements in the field of genital wart therapy.
If you have used a treatment for genital warts that you can buy without a prescription, please leave it in the comments below and tell us how it worked for you. We're interested in hearing what else is out there. I'm sure there will eventually be a better alternative than Wartrol out there some time. Let us know!

Chattanooga Golf & Country Club
Chattanooga Golf & Country Club-Overlook Grill
The Overlook Grill is a total renovation of an existing dining room. The new grill offers indoor and outdoor dining in a casual setting that focuses on the Tennessee River. The river rock fireplace, natural materials and colors reinforce the river theme. Outdoor dining is popular on the new deck facing the river and in good weather the windows and doors are opened to make the entire space an outdoor eating experience. Dining attendance at the club has doubled with the opening of the new Overlook Grill.
Chattanooga Golf & Country Club-Men's Locker room Renovation
This is the latest renovation project for Chattanooga Golf & Country Club. Amenities such as spa like locker rooms are important private club features; the old locker rooms were out of date and not suited to the latest club trends.
The design goal was to create a spa environment in keeping with the Tudor architecture of the club while upgrading the shower facilities. Natural materials were used, all the lighting was changed and new luxury showers were created.
The improvements are, in the words of the club manager, "Another home run."

You can thank Bruce Feirstein that "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche." His 1982 book by the same name asserted that masculine men simply don't eat egg and cheese-based pie.
I never understood Feirstein's odd obsession of associating quiche with femininity, except for perhaps the French origin of the word "quiche." Otherwise, a pie crust filled with meat, egg and cheese seems like a hearty enough meal for anyone!
And quiche is also as such a versatile dish, fitting your menu anytime of the day and for most any occasion. They also double, freeze and reheat easily for an easy option when you need something quick.
Shop the Brookshire's sale this week to find four of the ingredients you need to make this delicious Mexican Quiche: Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts, Brookshire's Best pork sausage, Julio's refrigerated salsa and Sargento shredded cheese. It's the perfect week to try a new recipe for your family's table – breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Mexican Quiche
1 Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust
1 lb Brookshire's best ground pork sausage, mild or hot
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup Julio's salsa, mild or hot
3 large eggs, beaten
2 cups Sargento shredded Cheddar Jack or Authentic Mexican Cheese
Garnishes: Sour cream and additional Julio's Salsa
Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Brown ground sausage in a large skillet, adding onion and garlic halfway through cooking time. Drain grease from sausage, and add cumin and salt and cook two more minutes. Remove from heat and add salsa, eggs and cheese. Pour into pie crust and bake 20 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and eggs are set. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting.
Cut into 6 or 8 wedges and top each wedge with a dollop of sour cream and additional salsa.

"The Fly Fisherman"
A talented fly fisherman braves the wind and waves to get his catch.
Biography: We all see the same things, but what differentiates photographers is both how we see them and more importantly how we interpret them. My interpretation begins with black and white images. My love of black and white photography centers on a desire to alter the subjects inherent colored reality in order to see the defining essence of the subject. The colors we see with our eyes are stripped away and we are left with shapes, tones and contrasts, which I believe to be the defining essence of the subject. Long exposures allow me to further pinpoint the subjects defining essence as they smooth away...

Do you suffer from any of the following symptoms: bloating, gas, burping, diarrhea, constipation or acid reflux? If your answer is yes, I am sure you have been trying hard to be very careful with the type of food that you eat, when you eat them and even tried to reduce the portion, only to have the problems revisiting you time and again.
Have you ever taken the time to look at your posture?
Bad posture is the new first-world problem that is causing more mental and physical health complications than most people realize.
The human body was designed to move and not to sit on a chair or couch for several hours at a time. Look at the cavemen. They moved around to hunt for food. They were fit, trim and lived over a hundred years of age.
I have always been experimenting on different postures whenever I have a distended abdomen with gas — sitting and walking upright vs sitting and walking with a slouched back. I find that I feel better when I sit and walk with a straight back, with tummy tucked in. Of course this takes more effort but if we do it continuously, over time, it becomes a habit that we carry ourselves with a straight back.
Over time, bad posture habits lead to fatigue, depression, pain and headaches. There's the reason why your mother told you to sit and walk straight as poor posture causes a host of ailments. I am sure you never thought of that, except that people with poor posture look sloppy.
Sitting does more than just constrict your heart and lungs, it also constricts your intestines. This can make digestion uncomfortable and cause a host of issues. If you are experiencing digestive distress, you may want to take a closer look at your posture and how much time you are spending sitting each day.
Digestive problems are a very common reason people alter their diet. But specific foods aren't the only reason why your digestion might be in trouble – and one of the other potential factors is posture.
Bad posture constricts the blood vessels, starving the organs of oxygen and nutrients, cramping digestion. Posture defects may compound existing health problems such as indigestion and asthma by compressing the lungs and stomach.
Many of us have a sedentary lifestyle. We spend too much time sitting at our desks, in cars or watching TV. We tend to slouch and slump as the lower back muscles tire. Eventually, our hunched positions fossilise as the muscles give in and reluctantly adapt to the demands placed on them.
When it comes to the digestive system, proper posture allows the internal organs in the abdomen to assume their natural position without undue compression, which can interfere with the normal flow and function of the gastrointestinal apparatus.
Standing up straight not only allows the abdominal organs to function better, but it also improves the shape of the body in ways that are immediate and profound. For instance, one of the major complaints of mature women (and men) is a growing "belly pouch," an abdominal distention that afflicts even thin people as they age and that can't be resolved by liposuction or sit-ups alone because it is due to the protruding viscera pushing against the abdominal wall.
By straightening up the body you can trim several inches from the waist simply by increasing the distance between your lower ribs and the pelvis, allowing greater volume for the internal organs to spread, and instantaneously reducing an unsightly "beer belly" or a grandmotherly bulge.
I have to remind myself to sit and walk upright all the time to look and feel better. If you slouch, slump on your chair or have bad posture, make the change today too!

Children of the White Lions, Book 2
by RT Kaelin
$ 21.99 (Paperback)
$ 7.99 (Kindle)
About the book:
The God of Chaos is marching. The Borderlands is nearly overrun, shredded by his army. In a dusty village, ninety-four residents led by two soldiers make a last stand. During the assault, one of the enemy isolates Rhohn Lurus, a Dust Man. Yet rather than kill him, the monster gives him a cryptic message and begs he carry it east, claiming it could halt the war.
At Storm Island, Nikalys, Kenders, and Jak are adjusting to their new lives as leader, mage, and soldier. In the nation's capital, nobles spar, some conspiring with the enemy while others ally together to halt Chaos' advance. New friends will be made, old rivals rediscovered, and secrets revealed.
The stage is set. War is here. And the Progeny must stop it.
My Thoughts:
Over a year ago I wrote a review for a New Author named RT Kaelin. I was very interested in reviewing his book Progeny which is the first book in a series of fantasy books about a world named Terrene and two young people, brother and sister, who discover that their lives are not what they seem. You can read my review here on my other blog Classic Children's Books ~ I've moved my reviews of the rest of this series to this blog as it is a bit too graphic for a children's blog.
I loved Progeny due to the level of writing (very smooth, easy to read, very descriptive) and because I "connected" to the characters in the book. Kenders & Nikalys both seemed like great kids, full of mischief, personality and potential.
When I was approached about doing a review of Prophecy I jumped at the chance even though I am absolutely swamped (I've read 5 full length books in addition to Prophecy (600+ pages) in the last 2 weeks). I wanted to know what the next book would tell us about the fight between good & evil, the growth of Kenders, Nikalys and Jak their brother. It wasn't quite what I expected.
Prophecy has the same high quality writing, the scenes are well thought out and each character is well rounded. Many of the vague details and events mentioned in Progeny are described more thoroughly and you will meet new characters (Khin, Rhohn, Wren, Tobias and my favorite Okollu & Broedi who is from Book 1) from many different races and species. I loved to see the maturity of Nikalys grow from boy to man by the end of the book. Kenders still has a ways to go - and I'm sure we'll see her maturity come out in book 3. We also learn about the history of the White Lions and why they were formed as well as learn of a Prophecy that provides clues to events to come. Book 2 sets up the foundation of the rest of the series by giving us the background and a peek at the future of the World of Terrene.
That being said, I struggled some with this book (pls keep in mind I had the flu during the week I read Prophecy). It didn't reach out and grab me like Progeny did (I had the same problem with The Two Towers (Tolkien) also so don't let that scare you away) - I'm sure that Book 3 will give me some of the closure and connection that Prophecy didn't. There is just so much detail, so many locations and so many new characters that I had some trouble keeping up with it ~ add in the meddling of the various gods & goddesses in the book, the huge war scenes that are very well thought out and the powers that Kenders is becoming aware of (and some she's not aware of yet) that seem to take control of her and you'll get what I mean.
My plan this winter is to return to Progeny and read straight through Books 1 and 2 ~ so be watching for an updated review of the series probably in February sometime. The cliff hanger at the end of Prophecy means that I will definitely be looking for Book 3 ~ get the series and join me in February and let me know what you thought!
Purchase it:
You can purchase Progeny here for $21.49 (paperback) and $4.99 (kindle) and Prophecy here for $21.99 (paperback) or $7.99 (kindle). If you can afford it get the actual books. These are huge books (600+ pages each) and it's much easier to read them and put them down when you need to. You will read them over and over again so don't hesitate over the price.
For more information about the Children of the White Lions series, the prophecy, the progeny, RT Kaelin, Terrene and the history of the books visit The Progeny Website.
Disclaimer: I was given a copy of Prophecy to read and review on GivingNSharing. I was not required to write a positive review and no money exchanged hands.

There are ways around this dilemma. You can drive better; that always helps. Learning to master each car's idiosyncrasies is one of the game's biggest appeals. You can slow down and be careful, another amazingly helpful hint. Or you can just restart every game until you get a good race. The most likely scenario is a combination of all three. Regardless of your skill or experience, the enemy cars will drive dirty. You might be driving a perfect first lap, but an opponent car can drive close, slightly tip your back end and shift you instantly into the grass. Restart. This game is even more trial-and-error than that. In the lighter, less grippy cars, if you touch the grass or sand, you're potentially hosed.
All of these scenarios are dealt with Codemasters' new philosophy: let gamers decide. Simply restart the race. That's right, unlike any Colin McRae Rally game, restarting is enabled and there is no punishment. Screw up? Enemy thwarted your perfect lap? Catch a sliver of the infield? Restart. The end result is a more trial-and-error game than most Codemasters' racing sims. Given the developer's AI design, it's a decent way to handle such a huge variety of car styles. And it's a relief but it also feels fishy. Like a really easy way out. The lack of consequences is also another way to let more casual gamers in, but anyone who's serious about the game will find the AI irritating.
Of course, you can skip World Tour, the game's sampler mode, and go straight to Pro Career. This mode is designed to head to after you've picked a driving discipline -- if you're that indecisive. For those for prefer the classic Touring Car experience, it's in attendance in its best attire. You'll get practice runs, qualifying runs, an excellent garage of cars to choose from, upgrade and adjust, and the handling, speed, and sense of feel are all classic Codemasters. The cars are fast and grip well, the engine sounds are tight, deep, and realistic, and you'll feel right at home in some of the finest cars there are to drive in a simulation. The upgraded and more powerful cars just enhance all these great qualities. Again, you can choose from any discipline you want, be it classic cars, oval racing, the newly added sprint car racing, 18-wheeler cabs, you name it. For fans of the series, however, pick Touring Car Championship and you'll be home free.
Whether your own a PC, PS2, or Xbox, Codemasters has created a beautiful racer. Cars deform, fenders scrape against the ground causing sparks, the detailed cars create excellent shadows and are gorgeously modeled. The deformation isn't wildly extensive beyond previous games in the series, but it's definitely noticeable both visually and from a performance standpoint. You can lose wheels, fenders, hoods, and more, and you can flip, lose axles, experience tire wear, flaring engine temperatures, and turtle. All of these can be seen from four different perspectives -- one from above the car, two traditional views from the cockpit, and one, side-mounted view similar to that seen in Project Gotham Racing 3.
All systems support online play. Online play is functional, occasionally riveting, and sometimes annoying. The list of options is huge, and all of the races support up to 12 cars onscreen simultaneously. The framerate sticks to about 30 FPS, just like in the game proper, and while playing we experienced a few lag issues while on both Xbox and PS2. The online set-up, nonetheless, is tuned for all sorts of great options, from basic lap quantities to course and damage choices, to car types, and more.
The Verdict
TOCA Race Driver 3 is a different tack for Codemasters, and for the most part it works. Not only is the game filled with cars to race, car disciplines to pick from, and an enormous amount of replay value to enjoy, it also manages to healthily balance noobs and hardcore gamers. The later stages of the game really put you to the test with extremely fast and powerful cars, each one demonstrating the full evolution of that particular discipline. TOCA 3 is both fun and frustrating, depending on which route you take, but no one can say that it's shallow or poorly programmed. The game is beautiful, it offers an impressive array of authentic vehicles from old to new, and all of the classic race courses from Nurburgring, Oschersleben, Laguna Seca, Manama Bahrain International, Bathurst and others are there. It's definitely a worthwhile addition to your racing game collection.

Pictures: Grey Arctic Wolf
Students watch Atka, a 10 year old Artic gray wolf who visited sixth graders at the Capitol Region Education Council (CREC) Two Rivers Magnet Middle School Wednesday afternoon. The students watched a presentation about environmental protection made by the Wolf Conservation Center (WCC). Since he was just a week old, Atka has been raised by the WCC, with help from Eno, their German Shepherd. He now spends his time visiting schools, nature centers, museums, and libraries to help the Conservation Center educate students and adults about wolves, their relationship to the environment, and the role that humans play in protecting the habitat and future of these and other wild animals. This is the third year that Atka has visited the CREC Two Rivers Magnet Middle School. The long-standing relationship between the school and the Conservation Center is part of Two Rivers¿ environmentally focused curriculum and theme.

20th Century Fox orders a sequel to Deadpool. The planned follow-up film will share many of the same cast and crew members as the first movie, including star Ryan Reynolds.
Alongside Reynolds, Deadpool's whole creative team, including director Tim Miller and screenwriters Rhett Rease and Paul Wernick have been tapped to return in similar capacities for the proposed sequel. It is not known if any members of the supporting cast will come back, and Fox has not offered an official release date for the currently unnamed project.
Given the unprecedented success of Deadpool, it was practically a given that the Merc with a Mouth would get another movie. In fact, the film has earned so much money at the box office that it now ranks as the most profitable installment in Fox's X-Men film franchise:
Based upon Marvel Comics' most unconventional anti-hero, Deadpool tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.
Ryan Reynolds stars as the title character alongside T.J. Miller as Weasel, Gina Carano as Angel Dust, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Morena Baccarin as Copycat and Ed Skrein as Ajax. The film will also feature the mutant Colossus, voiced by Serbian actor Stefan Kapicic.

Keeneland January sale: Nereid hammers at $1.3M
Grade 1 winner Nereid became the first horse to break the seven-figure threshold during Monday's opening session of the Keeneland January horses of all ages sale, with Lane Seliger of Baumann Stables signing the $1.3 million ticket.
The 5-year-old Rock Hard Ten mare was offered as a broodmare prospect by Winter Quarter Farm, agent, for owner Eric Kronfeld.
"We expected her to bring a very nice number, and she did," Don Robinson of Winter Quarter Farm said. "I was very confident about her. I'm usually not, but in this case, I felt pretty good about it."
In her first graded stakes attempt, Nereid finished in a dead heat with Cambina for the win in the 2011 Grade 1 American Oaks Stakes.
The mare also finished second in the Grade 1 Rodeo Drive Stakes last fall in her career finale, and finished third in both the Grade 1 Del Mar Oaks and Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes in 2011.
Overall, she won three of 11 career starts, earning $303,800.
"Was it above my reserve? The answer is yes," Kronfeld, who purchased Nereid for $190,000 at the 2009 Keeneland September yearling sale, said of the price. "Was it a fair bid above the reserve? Yes. The reserve I set is always a price, below which, I would be happy to keep the mare. She made more than my reserve [and] I was happy to sell her. She was here to be sold."
Out of the winning Belong to Me mare Dowry –a half-sister to four stakes horses—Nereid is from the family of Kentucky Oaks winner Sun and Snow.

University of Colorado police ticketed three protesters -- only one of whom was a CU student -- during Wednesday night's Milo Yiannopoulos lecture.
Savannah Nichole Neufer, 28, and Ross Michael Swirling, 34, were both cited for unlawful conduct and resisting arrest, while Joshua James Kirby, 27, was ticketed for unlawful conduct.
CU police spokesman Scott Pribble said only Kirby is a student at CU, and that neither Neufer nor Swirling are associated with CU in any way.
While officials said Wednesday night that the three were arrested, Pribble today said the three were just ticketed and released, and that nobody was actually taken to the jail.
Pribble said the only medical call related to the event was a person who reportedly fainted. But Pribble said by the time medical crews arrived, the person was standing and refused treatment.
The three people ticketed were among the people protesting Yiannopoulos, a gay editor for the "alt-right" website Breitbart News, who was visiting the Boulder campus during his "Dangerous (Expletive) Tour."

I found the ehc/uhc project very interesting when I was looking at it a year or two ago, and I'm a little distressed that this thread has been so unproductive and basically hostile. I was hoping that comments would be more substantive, rather than carping about what a maintainer plans on adding (and thereby triggering an apparent holy war). For example, I expected someone to ask why it was not cabalized since that would help distribution; to which a developer could respond that it could well be except source files need to be preprocessed with the grammar-conversion tool (UUAGC?) and Cabal doesn't support that like it does alex/happy; to which someone might propose a hack-around using GHC's -Fgetc. option, or maybe someone would go quickly add support to Cabal and we could get started on Cabalizing the various compilers - Er. Not to try to force the discussion in any particular direction or anything... -- gwern

"The death penalty's very serious business, Leo," Governor Bush condescendingly told a questioner in the third presidential debate. "There've been some tough cases come across my desk. Some of the hardest moments since I've been governor of the State of Texas is to deal with those cases…. But my job is to ask two questions, sir. Is the person guilty of the crime? And did the person have full access to the courts of law? And I can tell you, looking at you right now, in all cases those answers were affirmative."
On camera Leo Anderson, the questioner, didn't seem to buy the governor's oft-repeated assertion, and he certainly wouldn't have if he had been privy to a recently released confidential memorandum on one of the toughest of those cases.
The memo went from Bush's then-general counsel, Alberto Gonzales, to Bush at 10:30 on the morning of April 3, 1997, only hours before David Wayne Spence was to be executed. Although the document was his first detailed look at the case and although the governor was Spence's only hope for a reprieve–the courts and Board of Pardons and Paroles having turned him down–this "very serious business" took Bush, according to his schedule for the day, all of half an hour at most.
I obtained the memo through the Public Information Act, Texas's FOIA. Not surprisingly, the Bush administration vigorously resisted its release. The document that went fleetingly across the governor's desk that morning is seven single-spaced pages, and although it works overtime to be unequivocal, it can't disguise or resolve the "tough questions" concerning Spence's guilt. The memo's author, Stuart Bowen, the deputy counsel charged with investigating the case, uses distortion, omissions, outright lies and an inappropriate adversarial bent to reach what must have been a preordained conclusion to deny a reprieve.
Writing several months after the execution and using the same information Bowen used, Bob Herbert in the New York Times concluded that Spence was "almost certainly innocent" and the case against him a "travesty." Many others, including Alan Berlow in Salon and a team of Chicago Tribune reporters, have agreed. But Bowen had been in the execution business with Bush long enough to know that the governor, preparing for a re-election campaign and in the starting blocks for a run for the presidency, would never go for a reprieve in the Spence case. And certainly not on the day of the execution, with families of the teenage victims of the crime for which Spence was about to die–a triple murder at a lake near Waco in 1982–in a motel in Huntsville ready to scream their heads off if the execution didn't go through. So Bowen did the following in the memorandum:
§ He opened by reciting the "facts" of the case as if he were a prosecutor giving a closing statement to a jury, brushing over developments favorable to Spence's claim that had surfaced in the fifteen years since the crime.

Snoop Dogg may have turned 40 earlier this year, but that hasn't stopped him from channeling his inner teen and hanging out with the newest kids on the hip-hop block for his latest single. Chumming up with rap newcomer Wiz Khalifa for forthcoming movie Mac & Devin Go to High School, D.O double-G has also reigned in crooner of the year Bruno Mars for the soundtrack's lead cut 'Young, Wild & Free'.
Judging by the song's sprightly chorus alone, it's clear Snoop doesn't find it difficult to unleash his youthful charm. "It's like I'm 17 again/ Peach fuzz on my face/ Lookin' on the case/ Tryna' find a hella taste," he reminisces over a playful mix of bouncy hip-hop beats and a revolving piano hook that's more chilled than a strawberry Slush Puppy. The overall result is much the same; cool and addictive, but the flavour doesn't last long enough.

Educators from around the state will be on the UW-Madison campus Friday, June 16 to take part in an annual teacher research symposium at the Discovery Building's DeLuca Forum.
Teachers connected with the Greater Madison Writing Project, the Milwaukee Action Research Scholars, the Young Children's Mathematics Book Study, and the Personalized Learning teacher research cohort have been conducting a range of action research projects in classrooms and schools throughout the 2016-17 academic year. These projects have taken place under the guidance of the Education Outreach and Partnerships office within UW-Madison's School of Education.
This end-of-the-year symposium runs from 9 a.m. to noon, and is broken into four, 35-minute rounds of presentations. The event is free and open to the public, and provides the approximately 70 teacher-researchers involved with projects this year an opportunity to share their findings and connect with other passionate educators involved in research from across Wisconsin.
"This event is a great example of the power of teachers teaching teachers," says UW-Madison's Mark Dziedzic, the director of the Greater Madison Writing Project and an outreach specialist with the Office of Education Outreach and Partnerships. "The teachers in these groups have dedicated a tremendous amount of time and energy so they can better understand the experiences students are having in their classrooms. This event lets them share the information with other teachers who also want to enhance their students' classroom experiences."
A sampling of topics and research projects that will be presented during this year's event include:
• Increasing Students' Self-Perception as Writers through the Writer's Workshop Model: Writing Attitudes of Middle Level Learners in Narrative Writing
• What are Effective Methods for Helping 10th and 11th Grade Chemistry Students in Developing their Abilities to Write High Quality Explanations in Science?
• What are the Effects of Computerized Intervention and Teacher Led Small Group Instruction on the Academic Achievement of a Specialized Group of Second Grade Students?
• How Does Daily Five-minute Reading Interventions Paired with Full Inclusion Model and Differentiated Grade Level Instruction Impact my Below Grade Level Flexible Reading Groups' Fluency and Comprehension as Measured by Pre-instruction, Interval Progress Monitoring and Post Instruction Assessments?
• What are the Effects of Daily Journal Writing, Choice in Topic, and Opportunities to Share for Students in a Sixth Grade Spanish Course?
To learn much more about the range of research projects, check out the event in person.
