The US continued its plans to send US troops to Zaire, despite the return of Hutu refugees to Rwanda, Defense Secretary William Perry said. He welcomed news of the refugees' exodus from Zaire, but said they would still need humanitarian support. The US agreed in principle last week to send 1,000 troops to Zaire and several thousand support personnel to neighboring countries.
President Clinton arrived in Honolulu for a weekend of relaxation before continuing east to visit Australia and Thailand and attend an Asia-Pacific economic summit in the Philippines. The president had to forego a scheduled round of golf because of torrential rains that brought flooding and mudslides to Hawaii.
The president's foreign policy drew criticism from some members of Congress. For instance, Sen. Dan Coats (R) of Indiana attacked the extension of the US military mission in Bosnia and said it may be premature to send troops to Zaire. He reminded Clinton of an unkept promise to pull US troops out of Bosnia within one year.
A member of a wealthy Indonesian family at the center of a Democratic Party fund-raising controversy has visited the White House 20 times, presidential aides said. The disclosure of James Riady's visits came after Clinton told a newspaper that the Democratic National Committee erred in sending fund-raiser John Huang to Taiwan to raise money. On six of his White House visits, Riady met with the president, security records show.
Former White House aide Mark Middleton issued a statement denying any wrongdoing. The Wall Street Journal said Friday that Middleton had entertained clients in the White House staff restaurant after leaving the government in February 1995 to set up a consulting business.
Texaco agreed to a $176.1 million settlement of a lawsuit filed by six black employees in 1994.

It was reportedly the largest racial discrimination settlement ever by a US corporation.
Lockheed Martin and Boeing will compete for a $219 billion contract to build almost 3,000 jet fighters between 2005 and 2030, the Pentagon said. The announcement eliminated McDonnell Douglas from the competition. The Pentagon hopes to save money by developing a single fighter for the three armed services. Critics say that by 2005, the US will have upwards of 3,000 fighters with the latest technology - or more than the air forces of Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, and Iraq combined.
The Army said four of the 10 noncommissioned officers under investigation for sexual misconduct at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., had been charged with violating a ban on personal relationships with trainees. One instructor at the base had admitted earlier to having sex with three trainees and was sentenced to five months in prison.
The US dropped spying charges against former Russian KGB agent Vladimir Galkin. Russia had threatened to retaliate against CIA agents on its soil, saying the US had broken "unwritten rules" of espionage by giving a former spy a visa, then arresting him when he arrived in the US.

The UN put the number of refugees streaming home to Rwanda at 300,000 and growing. Officials called the exodus from Zaire a vital step in easing the humanitarian crisis in central Africa. At the same time, aid workers warned that more than a half-million refugees remain cut off from food supplies in the hills of eastern Zaire. Meanwhile, the first Canadian troops who will lead the international force in the region set up headquarters in Rwanda's capital, Kigali.
NATO officials planned to call today for a longer mandate to keep peacekeeping troops in Bosnia. The international force now in place would be shrunk by about half, to 30,000 troops. The current mandate expires Dec. 20. The US signalled its willingness to participate in an extended Bosnian mission last week.
Somewhere during Stage 4, Russia's long-awaited mission to Mars failed, officials said. Ground controllers lost contact with the probe, which was unable to leave Earth orbit after liftoff from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Experts said the failure was a serious setback to the struggling Russian space program and represented the loss of 10 years' work.
The Irish Republican Army is observing an unofficial ceasefire, a Dublin newspaper reported. The Sunday Tribune said the truce began after twin attacks on a British Army base outside Belfast Oct. 7 that killed one person and injured 30 others. The newspaper said the new ceasefire was aimed at winning better terms for the IRA's political ally, Sinn Fein, at multiparty negotiations on Northern Ireland's future. The British and Irish governments, which plan a review of the peace process Wednesday, did not comment on the report.

Most of his predecessors have served two terms.
The US was among 15 nations adding last-minute "interpretations" to the plan for action as the world food summit ended in Rome. Washington sought to block lawsuits based on the plan, which contains references to the "right to adequate food" and the "right to be free from hunger." Muslim countries wanted to specify that principles in the plan did not run counter to Islamic codes.
Opponents of Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko clashed with security forces, demanding his resignation and freedom of the press. An estimated 10,000 demonstrators gathered in Minsk, the capital, but police did not wade in until marchers attempted to reach the parliament building. An opposition spokesman said at least 10 people were hurt and a dozen others were arrested. Lukashenko and parliament are locked in a confrontation over his attempt to assume broader powers through a constitutional amendment.

In 1946, Bennett Clark of Richland, Wash., loaned a month's pay - $250 - to help Navy buddy Norman Sevell start a business. Then they parted ways and Clark forgot about the debt. Meanwhile, Sevell settled in New Jersey and opened a garage. After years of searching, he located Clark via the Internet. On Nov. 1, an amazed Clark got a check for $4,166 - the principal plus 50 years' interest. "I'd have been happy just with the $250," he said.

Residential beachfront Architecture in santa barbara house architect is a dream for many California homeowners. The right architect can make that dream a reality. Seeking the best professional for the job takes careful consideration, but the results are worth it. Customers should look for several qualities when selecting their ideal architect.
First, an architect should understand the styles of the region in which they build. People typically do not want Spanish Colonial Revival homes on the East Coast or Georgian style houses in the American Southwest. Tasteful, beautiful homes, while always designed to the specifications of the owner, must be congruent with regional architectural styles. The best architect will be able to merge the owner's needs with a style appropriate to the location.
Great homes should both blend in and stand out, but only in the right ways. A home that is garish does not attract visitors, impress neighbors, or make the local homeowner's association happy. A good architect will be able to meet neighborhood building regulations and negotiate where deviations are necessary. An excellent place to start the search is with architects who are locally educated. They are the most likely to understand the local housing market and the latest regional fashions.
Homeowners and architects enjoy more than an employer-employee relationship. They are often artistic collaborators in the design of a new home. Clients should look for architects who are enthusiastic about this collaboration. Working with an architect who wants to override a client's ideas in favor of his own will make the process long and stressful. However, a good architect does not abandon his own artistic vision. The best in the field will help clarify their ideas while building on and perfecting the client's ideas. They will present and explain floor plans, mock-ups, and models of the home at each major stage. This helps keep the design and its implementation as fast and cost-effective as possible.
For beachfront properties, safety is every bit as important as functionality or convenience. From the foundation up, an architect experienced in waterfront construction is absolutely vital. Firms like wilhelm architects have this sort of experienced staff. They can handle the special considerations of waterside locations, from structural integrity and raised foundations to plumbing and insulation.
Finally, the best architects will be equally qualified to design both the home and its interior. Many architects only specialize in the residence itself, leaving interiors to other designers. Hiring an architect who does both means clients get one set of estimates, one set of designs, and only needs to go to one place with questions or concerns. A beautiful home can be more than a dream for homeowners once they find architects with the right skills and knowledge.

LIBRA (September 22-October 23)
You are big enough to handle anyone's erratic behavior. You are broad-minded enough to handle the self-centered way that many people act. But how much do you want to endure? Notice when your patience is on half-empty rather than when it's running all the way out. Notice who consumes the most of your resources. And most of all, notice who notices you—that you're a person with feelings, desires, and needs. Those are the people you want in your life: individuals capable of taking care of themselves and who offer a measure of mutuality. You would probably say that's tops on your list of qualifications for partner or friend, though how often does it work out that way? At the moment, it's easy for you to get drawn into the service-to-others thing in a way that can go out of control. This calls for conscious decision making. Be aware of the commitments you've made to others and the extent to which they are expecting or demanding more than what you've offered. You might also notice when someone is mirroring back to you one of your own tendencies that you want to let go of. The more you work on yourself, the less tolerant you will be of people who do anything less than honor your full personhood. You must treat yourself well first, and others will follow suit.

TITLE: Troy Out Of The Dark
AUTHOR: J.J. Harper
GENRE: M/M Contemporary Romance
Publication Date: February 23rd, 2017
Rafferty 'Raff' McMahon—beaten, broken and cast out of his home at eighteen—turns to his aged aunt who helps him become a new man with a new name. Ten years later, a successful photographer with an edge to his work everyone seems to want, a call that will set his life on a roller coaster ride comes through. Troy Ballantyne, CEO of De'ath of You Enterprises, wants to meet him. Mesmerized by the voice coming down the line, Raff immediately agrees to the meeting.
"Hi, can I speak to Rafferty McMahon?" A deep and seductive voice asks.
"You are." My reply is short, who the fuck is this? I'm having a horrendous day and, however hot this guy sounds, I want off my phone.
He sets about researching, not the company but the man himself; captivated by Troy's images, Raff is excited to meet the man behind the sexy drawl.
When Troy sets up a meeting with up-and-coming photographer Rafferty McMahon the last thing he expects is to be drawn to him. A connection he has already experienced once before, his heart beats a little faster. Is this for real?
"What do you want, Troy?" His voice, low and gravelly, sends shivers over my body.
"I don't know. We have only just met but from the first moment I heard your voice I haven't been able to stop thinking of you."
The feeling of ownership overwhelms Troy and as much as he wants to stay locked away with only the memories of Franco, he can't fight his feelings for this handsome man.
Is this the man Franco told Troy was waiting for him? Is he going to be the great love of his life? Will both Raff and Troy be allowed to be with their one true love, or is there someone out there ready to tear them apart?
This book is a gay M/M romance and include sex between two men, and is recommended for over 18's. It is book two in a duology and follows on from Troy – Into the Light available now
Troy's story hits on a hard subject that may act as a trigger for some.
ARC received from the author and willingly reviewed
I'm not a love at first sight believer, and usually I don't like books where the characters fall in love instantly. 'Cause this is what happens between Troy and Raff: they click at the first phone call! At their first meeting they were already lost and lusting after each other! And I feared I wouldn't love this book that I was so excited to read.
I was totally wrong, I've loved this story, I've loved Troy and Raff love story.
By the end of the book, the beginning made sense to me. Troy and Raff are connected in the great circle of life, and I believe in this, I believe that everything happens for a reason, and they are destined to each other.
Troy, after the loss of his forever love, Franco, is a broken man, but somehow stronger than before.
Rafferty McMahon, Raff, is a successful photographer, handsome, sexy, long hair and with the habit of smoking, thing that Troy seems to find very sexy!
Oh, Troy! Raff is not the man you would have expected to fall in love with.
Raff is a broken man, with an awful past of violence and secrets. But he is strong and determined not to let his past rule his present and future.
I've loved how their relationship grows throughout the book, becoming stronger and deeper. The sex between them is always passionate, hot and steamy (OMG I won't look at a shower in the same way now!), and their connection is not only physical, but it's always the connection of two souls seeking for love and the need to heal.
Their love is not a fairytale, to find their HEA they have to fight demons and ghosts, they have to go through hell and back.
"d'you realize that, by the time we see the light of these stars, they have burnt out and no longer exist?""I did know that, but why do you mention it?" Troy questions."No reason really, it's just the feeling that we are gazing on something that is no longer around and still we gaze at its beauty, holding on to the fact that it was real once and it shone so brightly when it was. Time is so fleeting, yet so infinite."
But again… everything happens for a reason, bad things and good things, and the closure of their circle of live is the best one. Only the epilogue would deserve a whole book!
And I can't forget Ryan and Nico… MY BOYS! They are the best friends ever.
J.J. Harper has the magic touch to create passionate stories, giving the right balance between love and drama.
This story has also a hint of mystery that has kept me on my toes, page after page.
The end is super sweet, but there are still more secrets to be revealed.
For J.J. Harper another 5 stars book, a must read!
Excerpts from the book
"Don't give me that shit, Troy, I'm still pissed at you." His voice is still low but it doesn't have the sexy rasp it had last night.
"So, a 'no' to the coffee then?" I raise one eyebrow as he shakes his head in exasperation. His response makes me smirk at him and I hand him the mug. Pointing to the sugar on the side, I offer, "there's creamer in the fridge if you want it and some flavored shit, too, that Nico sometimes has, caramel or hazelnut or shit!" I fake a shudder which, at last, has him smiling properly at me.
"Yeah, I'm a black coffee man, no crap. I don't even have sugar." He replies.
"Sweet enough already?" I quip.
"Yeah, something like that." He laughs again, then cuts it short. Shit, this is where he tells me it was a mistake. "Troy…"
"Raff…" We speak at the same time but clam up together, too.
"You go first, Raff, please." My heart beats like a jackhammer, dreading what he might say.
Letting out a huge puff of air, Raff looks at me and his eyes soften as he smiles: all good, so far. "I can't believe I'm going to say this, Troy; I like you, but I don't know you. I want to get to know you. I think, if we rush this, we could end up wrecking something really good." He sighs again, "I said last night I've just come out of a relationship and I'm worried you could think I'm using you as a rebound fuck. I want to spend time with you, shit loads of time, I want to kiss you again and again." Raff's little chuckle sends shivers over my body. "But I don't want fuck this up. If there is anything here to make a mess of. You may have been going to tell me you're not interested, I hope not. When you weren't here this morning, I thought I'd got my answer."
I'm grinning hard by the time he lifts his head up after dropping it in embarrassment. He sees it and tentatively returns the gesture.
"Come here, Raff." I reach out to grab his hand and haul him closer. "I was going to say exactly the same thing. I have never been prepared to try something as much as I want to try, to see what we have going on here. I've just been dumped by a wonderful man because I wasn't able to commit to him; I never felt the same way he did." I see Raff frown, trying to work out how this affects him. "The reason I'm saying this is, because, as soon as I saw you, I knew I wanted more. Don't panic, I'm not ready to rush either. I just wanted you to know that, for the first time in three years, I'm ready to have more. And that's because it's you, Raff McMahon."
I take a small step closer and look straight into his grass green eyes, "as for the kissing, I'm well up for that. As for the rest, I'm sure we'll get there. But it's the journey I want, as well as the destination." I brush my lips over his once, twice before pressing harder, pulling away before it turns into a make-out session. "So, are we good?"
"Fuck, Troy; yes, we are good." Raff focusses on my hand, which has migrated to his hip, and chuckles. "You're very handsy, aren't you." A statement, not a question, but he doesn't step out of my grasp.
"Is it something that bothers you?" I unhook my thumb from his belt loop and lift my hand but Raff catches hold of it and shakes his head.
"No, it doesn't bother me. Well, not in a bad way." I watch as he squirms, trying to rearrange his shorts, and I burst out laughing.
Reentering the building after watching Raff speed out of the lot, I walk back to the room. My head is a mess; what the fuck just happened? Ben organizes the wrap-up of the afternoon, talking quietly to the veterans as they gather their stuff. All but one of them. The man who blew the whole afternoon to pieces. He merely stands there, dazed.
Racing over to him, I stop a couple of feet away. His head lifts and, apart from the pain and sadness in them, I see the same green as Raff's. Tipping my head to one side, I see the same high cheek bones and strong jaw, only this time not hiding under the beard I love so much.
"What did you do to him?" The words are out of my mouth before I can control them. I watch him recoil as if I've struck him.
"I broke him." He whispers to me before turning away and trudging to the door. Ben calls out to him but he waves and carries on walking.
Spinning on my heel, I glare at Ben who instinctively throws up his hands. "Whoa, Troy, back off!"
"Who the fuck is he? I want a name and address. I want his fucking history and I fucking want it now! I want to know what the fuck he has to do with my man." I storm out again and head out, but where to go? Raff drove here today; he knew it would be a long day and he wasn't happy leaving the dog.
Digging up my phone, I call him but it goes straight to voicemail; I knew it would but I hoped not. "Raff? Raff, sweetheart, talk to me. Please, honey, talk to me." Dropping the call, I slide down the wall I leaned against and rest my head on my arms as they lie across my bended knees. This is bad, this is really bad.
A hand on my shoulder makes me lift my head and I discover Ryan standing at my side. "What happened, Troy? What can we do?"
"I have no fucking clue what to do, but that man hurt Raff so badly that he ran." I push myself up from the floor and run my hands through my hair, trying to clear my head. "I need to get home, I haven't got a car here."
"Take mine, I drove my own today. I'll go home with Nico." Ryan hands over his keys and smiles sadly. "It will be okay, Troy. You two have something too good, it's the real thing. I don't think he'll throw it away."
As I turn to leave, Ben walks up to me. He looks grim but I think he has some answers. "Tell me, Ben. Tell me what that man has done."
"His name is Corrigan Deschamps. His father is Ferdie Deschamps, the senator. Corrie left home at eighteen and joined the military. By the sounds of it, he has severed all ties with his family and hasn't been home since. He's a good man, Troy, I don't know or understand what has just happened and Corrie hasn't said anything. Maybe you should speak to him, he may explain himself to you. I'm sorry, Troy." Ben tries a weak smile but I can see his heart isn't in it.
"Really? Senator Deschamps? That man is a homophobic asshole, all bible quotes and shit. I'll need this guy's address and contact number, Ben. But I have to go home now. I need to speak to Raff, I can see if he can explain this." I rush out, knowing I've wasted too much time here. Jumping into Ryan's car, I'm on the road in no time. Traffic is heavy but Ryan's Aston Martin is more than capable of clearing through the cars. It's ten minutes later when I drive up to the house, but there is no truck. So, no Raff, shit!
I pull out my phone again and call his number but it goes to voicemail again. I feel sick and know I'm half a second away from breaking down. "Raff, talk to me. Please. I love you. Don't be another man I lose; I can't survive this again. Please, come home." Sobs build up in my throat and tears fall freely down my cheeks. "Come home, sweetheart, we can deal with this together."
If Raff is related to Corrigan, and they look so damn similar he must be, then there is no wonder he freaked out. Raff would have been subjected to his father's hateful diatribes for years.
I wish he would answer his damn phone, he promised he wouldn't leave. I need him, I know I won't survive him turning away from me.

RAHS grad onstage at Guthrie
Aeysha Kinnunen to star in Guthrie's "Pride and Prejudice"
From an early start in Roseville community and school theater, Aeysha Kinnunen has landed on the Guthrie Theater stage, as "Lydia" in "Pride and Prejudice."
The "Pride and Prejudice" production, which runs through Aug. 31, stars Vincent Kartheiser from TV's "Mad Men" as Mr. Darcy and Ashley Rose Montondo as the intelligent, spirited Elizabeth Bennett.
Under Joe Dowling's direction, this "Pride and Prejudice" is definitely played for laughs, and Kinnunen, as Elizabeth's twitter-pated and brazen younger sister, gets some of the biggest.
Kinnunen's mother, Nadya El-Afandi of Roseville, recalls that Kinnunen moved from audience member to actor early -- and on her own initiative.
"She always knew she wanted to pursue theater. Her first role was Toto in "The Wizard of Oz" at age 7 for a weeklong summer camp with the Rosetown Theater. The original Toto was very noticeably shy. After the first day's performance, Aeysha approached Margo Olson and asked if she could have the role if it were to become available."
It did. From there, Kinnunen honed her craft and performed in "Midsummer Night's Dream" as "Puck," "Chicago" as the prison matron and "Pride and Prejudice" as "Mrs. Bennet" at RAHS before graduating in 2009 -- all key roles with comedic elements. She also placed nationally in forensics league speech competition and was noted as a "spotlight" actor by the Hennepin Musical Theatre Trust.
Looking forward, Kinnunen "only applied to the best programs she could think of" -- USC, DePaul, Julliard and the University of Minnesota. She had callbacks for Julliard and was accepted to both USC and the Minnesota program.
There, she faced another hurdle: being accepted to pursue a bachelor's degree in the University of Minnesota's Guthrie Theater Classical Actor Training Program. About 800 that auditioned that year, and the program accepts just 10 women and 10 men. (El-Afandi notes the program is only getting more challenging as its reputation spreads; this year, the applicants numbered 1,400.)
While at the U, Kinnunen performed on the university's Centennial Showboat as "Mrs. Lovett" in "Daemon Barber of Fleet Street" and "Paulina" in a Globe Theatre production of Shakespeare's "A Winter's Tale" while studying in London. She graduated in 2013 and immediately landed the "Lydia" role.
She admits she felt some butterflies reporting for rehearsals with the legendary Sally Wingert and audience favorite Kartheiser.
"I was definitely kind of nervous because they are really, really experienced actors that know their stuff. It made me want to work hard and do good work."
But the welcome she found from the veterans boosted her confidence.
"Sally really believes in nurturing young actors. It has been a privilege to work with her. And (Kartheiser) has been great. He's a sweet man and a generous actor.
"They have all been so kind and generous with their time and gifts."
It's plain to audience members that Kinnunen is having a blast capering onstage, and she confirms that's the idea.
"Joe Dowling is a charming man and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with him and being part of a successful show. My job in this role is to laugh and be silly and have fun."

This shoe is not for people that have a wide foot but other than that the shoe is great.
I purchased these shoes after doing some research and reading online reviews. I wanted shoes that could be worn for strength & circuit training. I am pleased with the purchase. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
I have tried so many pairs of training shoes, only to get half way through a one hour class and my feet are killing me. This pair never causes foot pain. Lots of cushioning and support for high impact classes like HIT and kickboxing. They are also great for TRX. They definitely run a bit big. I typically order all my workout shoes a half size bigger and these I ordered my true size. I already ordered my second pair.
When I tried on the shoe it fit wide in the toe area. That made it feel like there was too much material at the top of the shoe. If you have wide feet this may be the shoe for you but it isn't for me.
I purchased these as an alternative to runners for weight training and fitness classes. Boy, I was really surprised that there is absolutely no cushion in these shoes. I feel like they would be better for fashion. I have used for weight training and a class and regret getting these. Now I have to go buy another set of shoes. On the upside, they are a nice look.
I was recommended by my coach to buy another pair of training shoes for HIIT and cross fit as he wasn't convinced the Micro G Limitless were the best for his type of trainings. I went for the Charged Core and they are the best UA shoes I have ever bought. Believe me, my coach has been putting me through the toughest tests already and the shoes are close to perfection: solid, they really stay put on the feet without being too tight and the rubber on the sides makes extra stability. Can't wait for more colors to come out.

10 Tips for Beginners in Designing
Like many people on the Internet, I'm a self-taught graphic designer. I've never taken a graphic design course in my life, and in my opinion, it's a strength. Design is something you can definitely learn yourself, and there's a wealth of information available on the Internet to do it. This collection of graphic design tips especially for a beginner designer will shortcut a lot of learnings that I've picked up over the years through trial and error!
Layout Mandatory Assignment
One of the Ingredients a Good Design must have…
I'm currently brainstorming for the next mandatory assignment. The task is to design the layout of the fictional cookbook "The Art Of Boiling Water", showing examples of how some of the pages should look.
I did some research on grid systems for inspiration:

5 Reasons Why You Need To Simplify Your Content Strategy By Cole Hennen
As content creators, simplifying our content strategy can feel like the last thing that we should be doing if we want to make an impact online. With new articles appearing every day informing us about the next big thing that we have to be doing, it can be all too easy to fall into the trap of trying to juggle one hundred plates at once.

Reading Ebooks without Ebook Readers
Over the last few months, we've started to make a switch towards ebooks. While most of the reasons behind the switch are practical, we're not using an ereader to read our ebooks and we read every single day. Ereaders are nice devices, but the technology evolves so quickly and we don't want to upgrade it every single year.
We've had access to ebooks for years, but it's only this year that we started reading a lot more ebooks. The reasons behind this are mostly practical. Ebooks are a lot cheaper and since we live overseas (Taiwan), we have a limited amount of space to stash our books, especially since we plan on coming home with all of them at some point (we have between 100-150 books here, 750 or more back home).
1. Laptops: All of our ebooks are read on a MacBook Pro 17. While this isn't the ideal solution, it's one that works fine for the moment. We also have all of our course books in ebook format, so lugging around a big laptop can be problematic, but we use a technical backpack (Gregory Z55) to lighten the load. When you start reading a lot of ebooks, you'll find that if you keep the brightness high, you'll develop eyestrain. You get tired quicker. We keep the brightness at the lowest setting when we settle down for a read.
2. Apps: There are a lot of apps for reading ebooks on your laptop, but we use two main ones: Stanza and Acrobat Reader. With these two apps, you'll be able to read 99% of the ebooks around. Stanza is able to read .mobi and .epub files while Acrobat takes care of the .pdf files. Both apps allow for fullscreen reading mode, which is the way we prefer to read. Stanza isn't perfect. We've had some problems with the bookmark feature when entering fullscreen mode. You'll have to scroll around to get to the right spot. It's no biggie, but it can get annoying. Still, both of these apps are free, so you can't complain too much about that! The Amazon Kindle app is also quite interesting since you can download a lot of free books.
3. Space: We love having a to-read pile of books. It's something that we look forward too. When you read a lot of ebooks, you end up saving a lot of space. Granted, we still prefer real books compared to ebooks, but the amount of shelving space that we save is significant (we read about 1 to 4 books a week).
4. Cost: Ebooks are a lot cheaper, and you can find many that are free. When you are used to spending between $100 to $200 a month on books, especially when you order new hardcover releases, you end up saving a lot of money. Most of the classics are free, which is really cool for bibliophiles.
5. Convenient: Ebooks are also extremely convenient. We no longer have to wait to receive a book on order, we get it immediately, sometimes even a few days in advance. The amount of ebooks that you can carry around on a hard drive is also significant. Some course books are actually heavier than laptops, so lugging around one device for all books makes sense.

Roothy's parliament push to unlock the bush
After missing out on a place in the Federal Government Senate by just 6000 votes in the Australian federal election in 2013, CTA columnist John 'Roothy' Rooth is having another crack, this time joining forces with the Liberal Democrats alongside running mate Gabriel Buckley.
"It's about raising awareness on track closures," Roothy explains.
Roothy, who established Unlock Australia in 2013, has long campaigned to protect the public's right to access the bush. In 2014, Roothy helped assemble outdoor enthusiasts travelling in an estimated 5000 4WDs, utes, cars and trail bikes to an Unlock Australia rally at Stockton, to protest a ban on camping in the Stockton Bight in 2012. Two years later, with help from the local community, Unlock Australia was represented on the committee negotiating with the Worimi Conservation Lands council for the establishment of 30 campsites that were formally announced in a 10-year management plan released in November last year.
Liberal Democrats Senator David Leyonhjelm has pledged to assist Roothy and Unlock Australia to stem and reverse vehicular and walk-in restrictions applied to national parks and on crown land.
Roothy says locking up the bush not only prevents members of the public from enjoying publically-owned land but also creates difficulties in minimising fire risks and safeguarding the biodiversity of the very flora and fauna a lot of this legislation sets out to protect.
"I've seen the deterioration caused by these lockups. Closures are administered by distant government bodies that aren't always capable of managing feral animals or weeds.
"We've got Lantana on most of the east coast, running rampant through the Blue Mountains and in particular on the old fire trails and camping ground around creeks that have been shut down. Lantana just shut places off; it strangles everything, its gets to a point where you can't walk down a track. And on my last trip to the Simpson Desert I saw massive changes – three feral cats in four days and very little native wildlife. Even in remote Jabiru country to the east of Kakadu my Indigenous mates reckon cats and pigs are taking over everything.
"The bush should be a free asset. That's where we Australians get our solitude."

Technology: science or knowledge put into practical use to solve problems
It's hard to admit out loud, but I have problems. They range from the mundane - I have to get the laundry, grocery shopping and house cleaning done - to the complex - I run a business with 25 team members and 500+ customers. These responsibilities in and of themselves are not problems, but sometimes it can feel overwhelming.
Right now, my problem shows up as me feeling overwhelmed. At other points in my life my problems were different - I was unemployed, I was taking care of a sick parent, I was heart-broken.
This is where yoga comes in and this is why I often think of yoga as a technology. The breath, the movement, the practice of constantly redirecting of my attention to the present moment are the practical tools I use to help solve my problems. Time on my mat can put little distance between me and the problem at hand. Yoga reminds me that I do have control over my thoughts and actions and I am at the helm, setting my own course and creating my own experience of my life. I can choose to feel overwhelmed or I can keep coming back to the present moment and directing my attention to what I am doing right now.
Yoga doesn't work, in the same way that technology sitting on a shelf doesn't work. Getting on my mat or meditation cushion - using the tools of breath and present moment awareness - is what works.

Shortees are specifically cut to fit men 5'8"and under. It's a totally new concept in men's clothing design.
Tired of tucking in every t-shirt you own so they don't hang down to your knees? Sick of being told that the only way to get a shorter shirt is to buy a small even though it's too tight to fit over your shoulders and chest? We were sick and tired of it also and that is why we started Shortees: a clothing company dedicated to designing and producing clothes that fit men under 5'8".
We didn't just take a shirt and cut the bottom; we completely re-engineered the t-shirt. Every element has been redesigned. The length and width of the sleeves, the size and curve of the arm openings, the angle of the shoulders, the taper of the shirt... everything has been reinvented. You won't find a better fitting men's t-shirt anywhere. We spent years designing and then redesigning so it fits the way you really want a t-shirt to fit. We call ourselves the Original Short Men's Clothing Company because we are the first to design and manufacture our own clothes specifically for the shorter man. We've been at it since 2007. Experience the original.
The Shortees Nation
More than 25% of all men are 5'8" or under. In the US alone, that's almost 35 million men who have been settling for clothes that don't fit them. That's no small number! It's time to take a stand and refuse to continue wearing poor fitting clothes. Clothes make the man, so put on a shirt that makes you look great.

Interested in expanding your professional role to providing primary care for women and their newborns? Midwifery education is the next step for you!
Scope of Practice
The skills, knowledge, and expertise you?ve acquired in your nursing education are a solid foundation for a career in nurse-midwifery. As a certified nurse-midwife (CNM), you will be qualified to manage prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care. You will also be able to provide most of the primary care, family planning and gynecological needs of women throughout the lifespan.
Education Requirements
To become a CNM, you?ll need to earn a graduate degree from an Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education (ACME) accredited midwifery program. Midwifery education programs are located throughout the U.S. Many programs allow part-time study and others offer distance-based midwifery education.
If you are an RN and you do not yet have a Baccalaureate degree, you have an option of applying to an RN to BSN/CNM graduate degree program, which is a midwifery program that offers a ?bridge? to a BSN for RNs who have Associate degrees or diplomas. Alternatively, you may choose to obtain your BSN from the many nursing schools that offer such options as the RN to BSN, and then apply to any midwifery education program.
After Graduation
All graduates of ACME accredited midwifery programs are eligible to take the national certification exam to become a CNM. CNMs are legally recognized to practice in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Midwifery education involves a graduate degree. ACNM does not endorse the proposal that a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree become the entry to practice requirement. For more information, see the ACNM Position Statement on Midwifery Education and the Doctor of Nursing Practice Degree.

Judges commented "this firm clocked up more exits in a year that most do in three, with most of them great, and two outstanding. All the while they were putting money to work, raising a fund, and orchestrating their own buy out. Phenomenal year."
The team's half a dozen exits were worth a combined £160m and generated an average 4.2x money multiple on £13m invested, including the stunning 32.0x from the sale of App-DNA to Citrix Systems. Mobeus' three new deals saw the VCT put £16.5m to work in deals valued at £39m.
The team raised £31m across two funds in April, and completed its own buyout from parent Matrix.
Mark Wignall, Managing Partner, said:
"We're delighted that Mobeus Equity Partners has won VCT House of the Year.

I recently read this tale, as a breaktime-filler at work, and just had to write about it, it's brilliant!
New Series number 606, May 22nd 1915
The story begins with a lengthy prologue, in fact it's so long you forget it even is a prologue and wonder when Sexton Blake is going to show up!
As it is, the tale begins in winter in the Russian city of Petrograd. General Karoski is waiting at a resturant for Elga Seblinsky, the daughter of a count that he is deeply in love with. However she is engaged to another man, Boris Tchapernoff. But the general has an ace up his sleeve – he knows that Elga's father is "The Wolf", and a member of The Nihilists, a group that want to bring down the government of Russia. The general attempts to blackmail Elga, telling her he knows where her father is meeting that very night, and that if she doesn't promise to marry him her father will be arrested and exiled – virtually a death sentence.
Just as the general loses his temper Boris Tchapernoff appears on the scene and knocks the general to the ground, Elga faints and by the time she has come around the general is long gone – to arrest her father! Boris races them to the meeting-place in his sleigh, but they are just too late – and they witness Elga's father being led away in chains, never to be seen again. Elga wants to shoot the general there and then, but it would only result in them being arrested too, and Boris has to drag her away.
Which can't have been very easy in a Russian winter
During the earlier 'scene' Boris and Karoski had arranged to fight a duel – which is to take place in the gardens of a mansion during a masked ball. Elga drugs Boris and takes his place in the costume, eager to have her personal revenge. However the general cheats at the duel – turning and firing after only five paces instead of the agreed six. "Boris'" second. Alexis Irloff, pulls off the victims mask and discovers the truth, shortly before being shot himself. Boris, recovered from the drug, arrives just in time to swear he will have his revenge on General Karoski!
Five years pass, and the world is plunged into a devastating war. One that causes Tinker, Sexton Blake's assistant, to compose a 'touching ballad':
Tinker's anti-German song!
A woman named Enid Delane comes to visit the great detective – she is the victim of a blackmailer named Latham Gower, who has got hold of some silly love letters she wrote as a teenager, and is demanding ever-increasing sums of money not to send them to her husband. Gower has now invited her, and several other of his victims, to a party. Sexton Blake decides to accompany Miss Delane to the party, disguised as her father!
At the party two kinds of guests are present – high society, all of them Gower's victims, and gower's associates – dodgy bookies, loan sharks and the like. Enid and "Sir Thomas" Delane both arrive at the party, the latter engaging Gower in a protracted conversation about safes and burglars – in order to find out the location of Gower's safe.
As the party wears on Sir Thomas, AKA Sexton Blake, slips away and breaks into the safe, collecting up all of the blackmail documents and burning them in the gas stove. Just as he is about to leave the room Gower enters and passes into a private office with one of his "clients", the French Monsieur Leon. As Sexton Blake listens from his hasty hiding place the "Frenchman" begins to tell Latham Gower a 'leetle story' – about a murdering Russian officer who dissapeared, after wounding a woman severely in a rigged duel and driving her half-insane! For the Frenchman is really Boris Tchapernoff and Latham Gower is General Karoski!
I swear an illustration very similar to this one has been used at times to represent both Sexton Blake and Nelson Lee! This was before the reign of Eric Parker, who gave Sexton Blake a defined image.
Boris demands that the general fight the duel that they could not in Russia, when suddenly Elga bursts in through the large windows. She has been free of her insanity – which comes and goes, and begs Boris not to murder the general, for duels in England are illegal. Sexton Blake decides to intervene – when a body thuds against the office door and slams it shut. Then there is another thud, a whistle, and a sucession of horrifying screams!
Blake forces his way in and finds Boris knocked out, an ugly wound on his head – Elga is in the corner, screaming with insanity, and Latham Gower is dead, with a knife buried deep in his heart! Of course Sexton Blake is still in disguise so has to leave with his daughter, who "is ill", and then rush back to the mansion as his true self and "discover" the crime. Luckily a doctor arrived quickly while Blake was away and the scene has not been disturbed too greatly – but the mystery is baffling – Boris was knocked out before the murder, and Elga could not have been strong enough to do it. Besides which the knife is a huge showy Mexican piece, not the thing a Russian would carry around. Added to this are some strange animal tracks in the room.
Inspector Martin, one of the Scotland Yard officials that Sexton Blake is familiar with, arrives at the scene and immediatley arrests Boris. The robbed safe and burned papers only add to the confusion. Blake decides to proceed more carefully and has Tinker bring Pedro, their intelligent bloodhound, over from Baker Street. they set pedro on the trail of the small animal that had been in the room… and wind up at a circus! On the way the Inspector tumbles to the fact that Sexton Blake had robbed the safe and actually heard the murder happen. The trail Pedro follows ends up at a tent where Captain Emanuel Carlos, a famous Lion-tamer, is performing. He wants to try and enter a cage containing a dangerous untamed lion, but has not so far managed the feat. He also has a pet ferret – the mysterious small animal!
Sexton Blake and Inspector Martin return to the mansion and search Latham Gower's office to try and connect the lion tamer to the blackmailer. Eventually they find a hidden compartment in his desk with documents relating to Gower's other, "official" business, as a moneylender with absurd interest rates. Emanuel Carlos is one of his victims. They need more proof, however, and Sexton Blake, disguised as a general worker at the circus, manages to enter the lion tamer's caravan, and discovers that Carlos used to be a knife-thrower, and has 40 knives that are the exact duplicates of the ones that killed Latham Gower.
Sexton Blake and Inspector Martin go and watch the lion tamer, intending to arrest him afterwards. However the lion attacks him and he is fatally wounded – he makes a deathbed confession – he had originally borrowed money for his daughter's medical treatment, but had got deeper into Latham Gower's clutches. One night he heard that his daughter had died, and went to Gower's house, taking advantage of the confusion of of the argument he witnessed to throw a knife through the window and kill the blackmailer!
In the end a friend of Sexton Blake performs an operation on Elga and cures her insanity – and later on her and Boris are married.
This is a brilliant story, with a lot of unexpected twists and angles. It goes off the boil in the end, though. The Lion-tamer's mauling and deathbed confession is all a bit too neat and tidy – but space restrictions and wartime shortages applied. I wonder how much better this tale may have been if it had been extended and held over for the 60-80,000 word Sexton Blake Library, which began in September 1915?

So you want to be a wine snob (why else would you be reading this column?). There are a lot of things that go into being a wine snob. An insufferably superior attitude is essential. An arcane knowledge of obscure wines that nobody's ever heard of is indispensable. But most importantly, you have to know how to taste wine. Can't be that hard, right? Wrong.
The biggest mistake that wannabe wine snobs make is to go to a tasting or winery without proper knowledge of how to taste. Nothing exposes you as a knuckle-dragging wine Neanderthal quicker than improper tasting technique. Remember, everybody is watching everyone else taste. If they notice the slightest weakness in your tasting technique, they will eat you alive – preferably with a nice Oregon pinot noir.
There is an entire ritual to tasting wine, not all that different from a Japanese tea ceremony, and you have to follow it to the letter if you want to live.
The first step in tasting is to examine the color of the wine. This visual inspection will tell you if you are drinking a white wine or a red wine. The proper technique is to tip the glass at an angle and stare intently (preferably with one eye closed) at where the wine meets the glass. To look really knowledgeable, do this while holding a white sheet of paper behind the glass. This will give you an idea of the density and color of the wine. Denser wines tend to be more full-bodied.
For red wines, pinot noir (PEE-no NWAHR) tends to be one of the lightest. You should be able to easily see through the wine. Really dense varieties include syrah (sir-RAH) and especially petite sirah (which can be absolutely inky). Is the color more purple or more red? Older wines tend to take on a brick red color, while young wines tend to be purplish or dark ruby.
For white wines, chardonnays should have a nice golden color, not too different from your last drug test. Lighter wines like sauvignon blanc (so-veen-YON BLAHN) and pinot grigio (PEE-no GREE-geo) should be more straw colored, not too different from the last drug test that you tried to doctor with tap water.
If the wine is pink, you're wasting your time on tasting technique. Just down that swill and get on with getting juiced.
Spend a good minute giving the wine "the eye" while making critical faces. Tilt the glass at different angles. Switch eyes. Make "hmmmm" sounds. The more eccentric you look, the more knowledgeable you'll appear. If you're surrounded by besotted ignoramuses and want to look like an expert, hold the glass up to the light and gaze thoughtfully through the wine. Be warned, though, that if you do this in the presence of real wine snobs, they may break out the pinot noir because they know that indoor lighting will affect your perception of the wine's true color.
Now you've successfully examined the wine's color without sacrificing your life. Good work! Time to toss it back, right? You wish. There's plenty more ritual to go before you can get started on that buzz. Unfortunately, we're out of space for this week.
Next week: Smelling the wine (Yeah, we won't actually get to tasting the wine for three or four more weeks. Hey, you want to live or not?).
Wine of the Week
Louis Guntrum Penguin Eiswein
Eiswein (ICE-vine) is a very concentrated sweet white dessert wine made from grapes picked and pressed when the temperature is below freezing. The resulting juice is highly concentrated. Eiswein's are orignially from Germany, but Canada also makes notable eisweins. Well-made eiswein's are like pure nector: dense, sweet, and pure. Not everyone likes eiswein, but everyone should try it at least once. You might find it an experience close to heaven. The Louis Guntrum Penguin Eiswein is one that's pretty darn close to heaven. Amazingly smooth, sweet, nector-like - just like an eiswein should be. The only place I know that you can get this locally is by the glass at Monks Wine Bar, downtown. $12 a glass might seem expensive, but this stuff goes for $60 for a half bottle - and in my opinion, it's worth it. For a real slice of heaven, have it with the cheesecake. Four and a half stars.

Calling all therapists – voluntary work in Belarus and MinskUncategorized February 10th, 2009
I received this email from a friend of mine Brian O'Sullivan who has set up a programme working with children in Belarus who are still dealing with the aftereffects of the chernobyl explosion (of course nuclear power stations are a good idea…). If anyone out there is interested, contact him through the website listed below and find out more.
Brian writes…
"I was in Belarus in early Jan and had meetings with the goverment over there, since then what began as an idea has now snowballed in a fantastic programme and is really taking structure!
We are currently recruiting physiotherapists and occupational therapists especially those experienced in the area of intellectual disability. Our first programme will run for the month of august with initial assessments and training sessions in a children's orphanage. We are also hoping to give an occupational therapist seminar in a rehabilitation centre in the capital city, Minsk.
We will promoting the project on a national level in the coming weeks but i would really appreciate if you could promote it and the need for the above mentioned to get involved.All interested can contact this email address.
We are also in the process of employing people qualified in massage to work with children that wouldn't get the opportunity otherwise.
Thanks a million,
Burren Chernobyl Director

This sounds odd and unlikely to me. Could you give me a link so I can see where it comes from?
I'm not entirely sure, but it seems my webstats provider (which i have been using for the past 13 or so years for several sites) decided to sneakily feed popup/unders to people loading pages where the statistics are counted. They are the only 3rd party service i use on teh chat page, so only they can be responsible for this.I'll immediately remove the stats code from the chat page. It's crazy really... ive been using them for years, and now they betray us like this. How long have you been seeing this?Edit: the stats code has been removed. You should now no longer see the popups/unders. I'll be sure to give that stats site a piece of my mind for sure.

Speaking of food, that is how the weekend doctor literally burst into Mom's hospital room yesterday afternoon. He didn't introduce himself to me, but he began asking my mom what her favorite meal would be. As Mom also has mouth thrush and finds fried tater tots and spicy red beans and rice quite disagreeable, she told him a nice plate of black-eyed peas with okra and a wedge of cornbread would be delicious. In fact, she said anything with veggies would be better than some of the fried crunchy morsels the cafeteria was serving.
As we had asked for a chicken noodle soup replacement for the tater tots at lunch, I initially thought this "clown" was the hospital chef/cook coming to get suggestions from Mom. Then I noticed the stethescope and realized this was the Dr. F. Mom had met on Friday. Nevertheless, he gave a whole spiel that restaurants in southern Louisiana traditionally do not serve too many country type meals with vegetables. Unless, of course, you go to the Piccadilly Cafeteria or Cracker Barrel restaurant. Blablablabla.....
Then Dr. F. recommended a probiotic that we could purchase at GNC that he was sure would cure most of my mom's ailments and gave his opinion of pain meds (narcotics) and was on his merry way.
As he said goodbye, he shouted, "Have a Blessed Day!"
And I said, "Sorry, but that is pronounced 'bless-id day.' Once an English teacher, always an English teacher." (smile)
This was his response: "If I go home and tell my wife who is a doctor that, she will hit me."
Then he actually jumped out of the room.
Interesting bedside manner(s)!

The Washington Nationals and the Baltimore Orioles had two interleague series in 2012, and they may also square off in a dispute about television rights fees.
The Nationals, who came to Washington, D.C., from Montreal in 2005, are looking to make upward of $100 million per year from the Baltimore-based Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, starting in 2013. They received $29 million last season.
Under the terms of the current contract, both the Nationals and the Orioles are due equal fees from MASN. But executives at MASN, which won Washington's television rights as part of a relocation deal between Major League Baseball and the Orioles, see the TV rights numbers differently.
MASN representatives have offered an increase from the $29 million per year the Nationals now get to about $35 million next year, said Jim Williams, who writes for the Washington Examiner.
Major League Baseball formed a special committee in April to resolve the dispute. A recommendation was due in June, but so far, there hasn't been a resolution. A final decision is not likely to come until after the 2012 World Series, and maybe not even until early 2013.
Williams said one possible scenario involved the Nationals taking an accelerated ownership percentage in MASN, which is currently primarily owned by Orioles owner Peter Angelos.
MASN charges cable and satellite carriers an average of $2.14 per subscriber per month, 35 cents less than the average for regional sports networks, according to stats from media firm SNL Kagan.
Mike Ozanian, who covers "Sports Money" for Forbes Magazine, wrote that MASN's revenue would likely be less than $200 million this year as a result, which is not enough to support $100 million or higher rights fees for the Nationals and Orioles. Also, MASN would not have any leftover money to invest back into the channel.
Currently, the Nationals own 13 percent of MASN, and that figure could rise to 40 percent much sooner than expected, Williams said. He said industry sources had told him that league officials were working on a number of options to make sure the Nationals were happy with their rights increase.
The deal with the most support, Williams said, would accelerate the speed of how quickly the Nationals could reach a higher ownership stake in MASN.
Although it is unlikely the Nationals will become equal partners with the Orioles, look for the team to get as much as a 45 percent stake in MASN as soon as 2014, Williams said. The report stressed that Major League Baseball officials needed to keep the Nationals happy in order to prevent both sides from going to court.
"Which begs the question -- is MASN mismanaged?" Ozanian said. "After all, Comcast SportsNet [Mid-Atlantic] is getting $4 [per subscriber] per month for Washington's Capitals, Wizards and Redskins for the preseason, which total much fewer games than MASN's slate of Nationals and Orioles contests. And ratings for the Nationals and Orioles are up considerably this year."
Although the Nationals want the rights fee to be as high as possible, the Orioles favor more money being kept within the sports network, because a lower rights fee would reduce their MLB revenue-sharing payments, Ozanian said.
"The outcome of this dispute could have a huge impact on the ability of both teams to continue to be among baseball's elite," Ozanian said. "Both the Orioles and Nationals had Opening Day payrolls of about $81 million, $5 million less than baseball's median. Both teams will likely need to spend more to maintain their surge beyond this season and be a consistent World Series contender."
According to Nielsen ratings, D.C. is the eighth-largest television market, with 2.36 million TV homes, and Baltimore is ranked 27th, with 1.1 million.
Two years ago, the Texas Rangers, who are in the fifth-biggest market (2.57 million), inked a 20-year television deal with Fox Sports Southwest worth an estimated $3 billion, which pays the team an average of $80 million per season (excluding the upfront signing bonus), Ozanian said.
The Houston Astros, in the 10th-largest market (2.19 million), agreed to a deal in 2010 with Comcast SportsNet Houston, which also pays the team an average of $80 million through 20 years.
Williams noted that when the Senators left Washington for Texas in 1972, leaving only the Orioles in the region, baseball awarded the Orioles exclusive rights for much of the mid-Atlantic region. In cable's infancy, few paid attention to the issue. But today, cable TV broadcasts are one of the biggest revenue engines for sports franchises, worth tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars.
MASN paid the Nationals $20 million in rights fees during the first two seasons of their initial TV rights deal, increasing the amount about $1 million per year until it hit $29 million at the end of last year, Williams said.
Tom Van Riper wrote in Forbes that the 30 major league teams collectively earned $484 million selling local television rights in 2001. The number jumped to $984 million last year, and it could surpass $1.5 billion by 2015.

Then I found the flickr group and saw how well modern fabrics blend with the traditional quilt blocks and I was hooked! I know this is a pretty ambitious project for a beginning quilter, but I've always been a jump into the deep in kind of girl anyway. I've already learned a lot just this week! For instance-- half square triangles-- who knew that you had to cut the triangles larger than the template for them to fit? Not me! Luckily, Lori Holt to the rescue with her fabulous tutorial! I have a feeling I'll be referencing her other tutorials before this project is over.
Another handy tip I learned from Lori: design boards!
|Add caption
Now, without further ado, the five blocks I made this week:
#16 Calico Puzzle
#21 Contrary Wife
#71 Puss in the Corner
I will probably remake this one-- the corners don't quite line up and I'm not in love with the busy-ness of the corners-- they blend in with the pink dot DS Quilts fabric.
#81 Snowball
I am going to remake this one-- I like the fabrics, but I messed up the top-- I want the corner stripes to be turned opposite and that didn't happen. Need to pay better attention to that when I'm sewing... like I did with....
#84 Spool
I modified my "spool"-- I wanted thread on it. I like the way this one turned out. I especially like the way the "Hometown" fabric looks as the body of the spool.
I'll be keeping up my progress over in the side bar.
This week's stats:
Completed: design boards
Moving Along:
- Farmer's Wife Quilt-Along: 5 down... 106 to go.

June 1 --- "Jen" Returns to the Family
On Wednesday June 1 I greet Jen from South Bay WIldlife Rehab behind the Lakeside Pharmacy with "Yeah, it's tough finding a parking spot around here, isn't it?" Today's the Big Day but it's also right after the Memorial Day holiday so patients are jockeying for parking spaces. While Jen finds a spot I meet up with my fellow Hawk-watcher Josie Morris from the Oncology department and we go looking for members of the Family. Jen says Mom, or at least the siblings, have to "see" the returning hawklet otherwise they might never know it's back. Jen walks up with the bird in a box; I ask a passing doctor "Have you seen the hawks lately?" to which I get "Not today". We figure they're somewhere around the main hospital building -- but where? We opt to go up on the roof. Josie calls Security and a guard comes down with access keys. He leads us through a maze of corridors up to the only top-roof access he's aware of --- a locked ladder up to a trap door. Can't get up THAT way...Luckily he has keys to a lower level of the roof. We open the door, turn the corner ---Read More

As well as providing a major talking point after the race, Ross Brawn believes Sunday's collision between Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo highlighted one of the main problems in modern Formula One.
The Red Bull drivers took each other out of the race on lap 39 when Ricciardo attempted to pass Verstappen for fourth place only for his teammate to close the door at the last moment. While Brawn was unwilling to point the finger at either driver, he did use the example to raise the his ongoing concerns about the impact of the current aerodynamic regulations on racing.
"One of the key turning points of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix was the collision between team mates Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen," Brawn said. "I don't want to comment on who might be held responsible or how a team should manage these issues during a race, but I do think the steward's decision to reprimand both drivers was the right course of action.
"But I would like to highlight a technical point. Once Daniel had settled for his line, and Max had changed direction blocking that line, the Australian became a passenger. The downforce loss experienced by Ricciardo in the wake of Verstappen's car would have made it unstoppable.
"We often think of downforce applying in cornering, but the impact the extra grip has in braking is huge. Take away that grip in braking and what happened on Sunday was inevitable.
"Whilst this was a very severe example, it did highlight once more the need of finding a way to develop the rules to make the cars more raceable in these conditions."
Brawn's comments came after F1 had agreed to tweak 2019's aerodynamic regulations with the aim of providing closer racing. A bigger overhaul of the technical side of the sport is due in 2021, but Brawn is confident the changes for next year will take a step in the right direction.
"The decision of the Strategy Group and the F1 Commission taken on Monday, sanctioned by the FIA World Motor Sport Council, to approve a number of aerodynamic modifications, aimed at promoting closer racing and more overtaking for the 2019 season is definitely an important step.
"It's also important to note that the decision has been taken after an intense period of research into the FIA's proposals, which were made with the support of Formula One and, conducted by a majority of the teams.
"It showed good spirit and a good way of working together for a better and more spectacular Formula One, which is what the FIA, Formula One, the teams, and most importantly, the fans want. Bravo."

Born in 1931 in her wealthy father's railway car, Martha Sharp Crawford was originally dubbed Choo-Choo. She emerged from her privileged New York City youth as Sunny, a nickname that reflected her vivacious disposition, her dazzling beauty and the glittering $100 million fortune she stood to inherit. But in 1980, 14 years after her marriage to Danish socialite Claus von Bülow, Sunny slipped into an irreversible coma in her Newport, R.I., mansion. While she slept, her case became a cause célèbre as Claus twice stood trial for attempting to murder her—and the trials became the basis of the film Reversal of Fortune, starring Glenn Close as Sunny and Jeremy Irons as Claus.
By the time Sunny died on Dec. 6 in a Manhattan nursing home at age 77, she had spent 28 years in a coma. Soon after she was found unconscious in 1980, an investigator hired by her two children from her first marriage (to Prince Alfred von Auersperg of Austria) searched her Newport mansion. He emerged with evidence Claus had been having an affair—and a black bag that was said to contain three syringes, one bearing traces of insulin. In 1982, Claus—who admitted the affair—stood trial, charged with twice trying to kill Sunny with injections of insulin. He was found guilty, but the verdict was thrown out after his attorney Alan Dershowitz argued that a critical police search had been illegal. At a 1985 retrial, Claus was acquitted.
In 1987, to settle a civil suit by the von Auersperg children, Claus agreed to divorce Sunny, leave the country and renounce any claim to her fortune in exchange for restoring an inheritance for Cosima, his and Sunny's daughter. The day after Sunny's death, Claus, now 82, living in London and a theater critic until 2006, told the London Times, "My daughter and I are both very sad."

Good sir, have you heard about the Bird.
I'm here to say that the Bird is the word.
You won't find him on any turf.
Cuz this Bird loves to surf.
So much so that it won every single surfing competition from Hawaii to the Mediterranean. He was so good that every other so-called competetive surfer quit surfing and abandoned their dreams. They all became accountants, bankers, and insurance adjusters. All the beaches are now barren, except for one singular bird. The Surfin' Bird.
