I just have to lead into this by saying: I NOW HAVE A LITERARY AGENT! And wow, that feels great to say. The path that led to this was not easy. It is one of the most difficult things I have ever done, but I am so glad I pushed myself to get to this point.
I've known that this is what I wanted ever since I wrote my first book at 15. The book that got me this agent is my 10th. Some of these books are unfit to see the light of day, and I only tried querying a couple of times before I got too intimidated and just focused on writing new things instead. This eventually led me to my latest project, a YA trilogy. And I knew this would be the one.
I wrote the first book late 2013, taking a grand total of two weeks. Yeah. The first draft wasn't great. I didn't touch it again until 2014, when I went to the San Francisco Writer's Conference in February. THAT was an eye-opener. I was one of the youngest writers there ("You're how old?!" was something I heard a lot) and I certainly felt like it. YA is a new category for me writing-wise, so I spent all my time at the conference learning, taking notes, talking to writers experienced in the category. I was once again intimidated, but energized.
I slunk back into the writing cave and took a grindstone to the book. I felt curiously confident and not-confident at the same time. After a while, I decided to finally send out the dreaded queries.
"It'll be fine," I thought. "I've gotten rejections before."
It was not fine.
When I first started writing at 14/15, I had an ego. The first short story I ever submitted got accepted, people praised me all the time in high school, etc. Over the years, however, this ego steadily deflated, until I started to quake behind my manuscripts. As the agent rejections kept rolling in, the more and more my book, my shield, kept shredding in my hands.
I changed my query multiple times. I kept tinkering with the book. I didn't know what else to do. But then I heard about this awesome thing called Pitch Wars. I entered and was chosen by an amazing mentor, Liz Briggs, who helped me patch the book up. It was that book that I sent to my now-agent, who had initially read the partial and told me, "This isn't enough. I need more."
Then followed one of the most stressful months of my life.
I felt like everything around me was being sucked into a vacuum. I suffered panic attacks and days where I didn't want to do anything but stay in bed. I even wondered what would happen if I just deleted the book completely. It was extreme thinking, but I was in an extreme place, and while I got used to agent rejection, every single one of them still hurt like a dagger between my ribs.
One night, I noticed an agent who had my book had followed me on Twitter.
"That can't be right," I said. I tried not to get my hopes up. But in the weeks that followed I noticed a steady interest in my social media presence, and I couldn't help but get my hopes up.
It got to the point where I actually had a dream about this agent accepting me (on the condition I brought a pot roast to the office. I don't know, it was a dream, okay?) Little did I know that same day, my literal and figurative dream was about to come true, sans pot roast.
I had always fantasized about getting "The Call," but when it actually happened, I just couldn't process it. I was at my day job, stepped away from my phone to get lunch, and came back to the voicemail I had been pining for. I couldn't eat. I just sat there staring at food that was getting cold.
I mean, I eventually called her back and everything, but those few minutes were totally surreal. I thought, "This can't be happening to me, the book is horrible, I'm horrible, did she even read it?!"
Yeah, it was happening. To me.
No pot roast required.
You bet your ass I celebrated.
I contacted all the other agents to get their verdict, waited some more, and finally made my decision—which I'd known all along from the gut feeling I had since that first phone call. I am happy to say that I am now represented by Laura Crockett and Uwe Stender at TriadaUS Literary Agency, who have shown me nothing but excitement and kindness so far in this crazy turn of events.
While it's not the last step in the journey, it's still a big one, and I'm thrilled to have advocates at my side to help me the rest of the way.
Somewhere in the mess of time, 15-year-old me is throwing 25-year-old me a smirk and saying, "See? I told you."

Washington: Indian envoy to US, Nirupama Rao, met the Mayor of the District of Columbia Vincent Gray during which he sought more Indian investment in the American capital.
"The Mayor expressed keen interest in increasing cooperation between the District and India," the Indian Embassy spokesman Virander Paul, said in a statement.
"The Mayor said he hoped that more Indian companies would be drawn to the District of Columbia as the City welcomed such investment," he said.
Washington, DC, is formally the District of Columbia. During the meeting on March 8, Gray and Rao also decided to explore the possibility of the Indian Embassy and the District of Columbia jointly organising an event to commemorate the 150th birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore.
Also present at the meeting were Natwar Gandhi, Chief Financial Officer of the District of Columbia and Cynthia Brock-Smith, Secretary of the District.
Rao informed Gray of the excellent progress in India-US bilateral relations and priorities of the India government in meeting its developmental goals.
She hoped that there could be greater cooperation in the field of education between the District and India.
The Indian Ambassador referred to the gamut of India`s commercial relationship with the US including investments in 43 states of the US by Indian companies and the job creation taking place in the US because of these investments.
Rao invited the Gray to visit India during which time the possibility of establishing closer linkages between Washington and New Delhi as capitals of two great democracies could be seriously explored.
The Mayor said he greatly looked forward to his visit at a mutually convenient date.

It's Halloween! I hope all of you are out enjoying a well-deserved dose of weirdness for the night, whether you're dressed as a ghoul, historical figure or slutty pumpkin.
But I don't want to focus on the day's festivities, (or – on a side note – this excellent video from Odell that's worth checking out). I want to instead give credit to the recent World Series winners: The mighty Boston Red Sox. They might not have been one of my top five picks to win it, but you've got to have respect for what their win represents for the town of Boston and, more importantly, for excellent beards all over the world.
While there are several excellent breweries in the northeast, I had to pick up a batch from their flagship brewery: Samuel Adams. Okay, I know the mega-craft brewer sometimes gets a bad rap, and many think they're just a notch below the stuff from Coors and Budweiser. But I think they have some pluses:Their bigness gives them room to try dozens of different beer styles; they can distribute those styles all across the country; AND some of them are pretty good.
No, seriously.
It's still possible to grab a "sampler" pack for their fall offerings, but I opted to sample their winter batch while it was at its freshest. The five new beers I tried – plus their signature Boston Lager – all claim to be good until at least March, which means they should be in peak form. And fortunately I found them all at least worth a try, with the exception of one (see below).
I've decided to rank them from my favorite to least favorite below, with a handful of notes to go with them:
Samuel Adams Old Fezziwig Ale: 3.75
I don't usually like "winter warmer" beers, but this one snuck up on me. It's black, lumpy-headed appearance gave off some good whiffs of roasty chocolate malt, sweet cranberries and ginger. But the taste is what got me more and more as it warmed: roasty, spicy and warm despite its sessionable 5.9% ABV. It's kind of like drinking the comfort of sitting by the fire with your family during the holidays, and I like it.
Samuel Adams Juniper IPA: 3.75
This more English-style IPA was the only IPA included in the batch, but I think it was fitting, unique and festive addition. This 5.8% ABV, mandarin amber beer kept a fluffy egg-white head for longer than I expected. Its smell of juniper berries and piney hop oils was a bit stronger than the similar flavors that followed. But it was a full, fresh-tasting beer that would be fit to store under a Christmas tree.
Samuel Adams Winter Lager: 3.5
This beer had plenty of good flavors (and reviews) to make it worth a try. I might even get it again if I see it on tap. But it wasn't anything fancy. It had a bready malt smell with some cinnamon and a nutty, musty malt flavor to back it up. Think a Boston Lager with stronger, darker malt notes. The best part of this beer is the way it looks: Crystal clear ruby with a steady stream of carbonation, which makes it very enticing.
Samuel Adams White Christmas: 3.5
By far the lightest beer in color and taste in the bunch. The faint scents of wheat, nutmeg and cinnamon come through in the taste of this hazy golden witbier. But only faintly. It has a light body, light taste and light finish that begs for an orange slice. Take from that what you want. At least it's refreshing.
Samuel Adams Chocolate Cherry Bock: 3.25
Don't let the name of this beer fool you. It's a trap. This bock may look great (totally black with a tan, long-lasting head), but the smell should be a dead giveaway: Cherry Icees and dusty chocolate covered cherries all the way. It stings it's so sweet. Unfortunately, that comes through on the taste as well. It's sickly, candy sweet, which smacks you with some cherry candy first, then milk chocolate and finishes with roast and some kind of cherry liqueur. This brew has some great reviews online, so I'm sure its layered, "complex" taste impresses some people. But not me. I felt like I ate my whole bag of Halloween candy at once.

Just yesterday we brought you the first trailer for the futuristic revenge thriller KITE, starring Samuel L. Jackson and India Eisley. Today we're serving up some additional looks at the Ralph Ziman film in the form of four fresh clips. I can't say I'm really "into" the atmosphere of this flick, but we'll wait and see how the final product turns out.
Based on the comic by Yasuomi Umetsu, KITE takes place in a
...a grim dystopia in which a crooked security force profits from the sexual trafficking of vulnerable young women. When one young woman's (India Eisley) policeman father is killed by the regime, she sets out to find his killer, with a little help along the way from his former partner (Samuel L. Jackson).
KITE will come out at some point this year, although an exact release date has not been set.

Liberty Ross has filed for divorce from her film director Rupert Sanders, citing "irreconcilable differences", it has emerged.
The British model's decision to call time on her 10 year marriage comes almost five months after news of his affair with Twilight star Kristen Stewart broke last summer.
Court documents filed in Los Angeles on Friday 25 January reveal that the former Vogue model is seeking joint physical and legal custody of her children with Sanders, Skyla, seven, and Tennyson, five.
The 34-year-old beauty also wants Sanders to provide her with spousal support and pay her legal fees.
According to reports, Ross agreed to attend marriage counselling sessions but the couple were unable to salvage their marriage.
"Liberty tried for a reconciliation but it was impossible. The mistrust went too deep. The decision to divorce was hers," a source told the Daily Mail.
Sanders made headlines in 2012 summer after he was caught cheating on his wife with and Stewart, who was dating Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson at the time.
His liaison with 22-year-old Stewart was uncovered when pictures of the father-of-four kissing the actress in public were published in Us Weekly.
In the wake of the scandal, Stewart faced a fierce backlash from diehard Twilight fans and was labelled a home wreaker for coming between Sanders and his wife.
Sanders also publicly apologised to his wife and family: "I am utterly distraught at the pain I have caused my family... my beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world," he said.
"I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together."
The news comes days after Stewart and Pattinson reportedly broke up for good after failed attempts to get their relationship back on track.

In today's glutted writing environment, reader ratings and reviews can make a huge difference in the success of an indie author such as me If, as a reader, you have enjoyed any particular book, please take a few moments of your time to give it a favorable rating, and if you are so inclined, a short positive review. Your affirming assessment will mean a great deal to the author and to his or her chances of survival in the current literary marketplace.
Thank you Gerry Pielsticker, Sue Ross and Nancy Fox who, once again, supplied a few jokes that left me laughing so hard, I just had to find a place for a few of them.
Due to a long distance move and job change for a primary editor, Annmarie, and an ugly artistic dispute with another one, my wife, I had been reduced to having only three excellent editors on my team. It might be difficult for anyone to believe that, as a former English teacher, I would even need three editors. The news gets better for you. Sue and Amy have joined the editing team. So now there are five … How will I survive? In any case, the three remaining editors, Gail, Ben and Donna, aided and abetted by Sue and Amy, have returned to make my life miserable for a few weeks, but to make your reading experience that much better. I'd like to thank them for their masterful work in editing yet another episode of The Clearwater Series. The Tim Horton or Starbucks gift cards are in the mail … hold on, what Gift Cards?

A very few Reader Responses to the Clearwater Series:
On the advice of the critics, editors and Ellen, I have limited the number of reader responses to a few of the more recent ones. The suggestion was that no one reads them anyway. I know that I do. Apologies go out to those critics who didn't make the cut.
Al Rennie is still rocking in the world according to Doc!!! I eagerly await each new book and I am not disappointed. This one has another current storyline which lets you know that the author is on his toes and doing his homework. I am very glad that the youngest little fellow is finally being brought into the house....good move. Keep on writing Al Rennie and we will keep on buying, reading and enjoying. I have read many stand alone books and many series and this series rates right up there in the top two. Al Rennie rocks!!! M.M.S.
Al Rennie's Clearwater series always gets a 5 star rating from me. This series never gets old (even after the 32nd book), and the stories are clever and funny with mystery, thrills, and sometimes even a little sadness thrown in and romance the Joe and Mia way. Start at the beginning and read it, you won't be able to put it down. Sharon R.
I love all of the Clearwater series books. Al you have created another great book that I will be thinking about for quite some time. I love that you brought out bullying, a lot of that going on. My sister's granddaughter was just bullied at school this past week. She nipped it in the bud. Lol All the jokes we're great, love each and every character in the book. If we all were more like Joe Holliday, this world would be a better place as he always wants to give everyone a fair chance. You bring each character in to grab our attention from the first chapter Until the End. Great read, can't wait for the next book. Bonnie W.
Oh Wow. Clearwater Confessions is awesome. I have read every book in the Clearwater series and they are absolutely my favorite books to read. Mr. Rennie is such an amazing writer and scores another hit with Clearwater Confessions. This story keeps you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. Joe and his guys search for a missing girl, stop an incident in a Starbucks, find a meth lab, along with lots of other adventures that make you laugh, hold your breath, and not be able to stop reading till the end. Mr. Rennie gives us characters we love with Joe and his chips crew, his great family along with his brother Frank. Thanks Mr. Rennie, I can't wait for the next story. Merle
I love this series. The stories make me laugh, cry, and dream of adventures. I am always excited for the next one.
I am always so excited to pre-order my books from you, Clearwater Confessions did not disappoint! I have to tell you that this series is the only series that I can read the book in a day and a half because it is so hard to put down. I have to force myself to slow down and savor every word. My husband says, 'lets take a trip to Canada, eh"? I love the storyline of how Joe and Mia build their little, or should I say big family. The storyline of Mrs. F and Ken Jackson had me on edge, but I love the riding in and shooting Joe's way in to rescue them. I will be impatiently waiting for your next installment of Joe and Mia.
Thanks Bubba and my B&N card is ready for the next pre-order. I will be watching for it!
I wish to thank Mr. Al Rennie for the complete Valentine gift package. I am just waiting for the T. V. Series to come along. I have seen television series without this much so together. The writing and the plot (plots) are exciting and oh no, what could possibly go wrong. Ha, ha, ha. The character development has reached a point that we know each and every one of them, and love them, even the bad guys. I love bad guys. Every red blooded woman wants a bad guy, even if he is really just a bad boy. I will not give a spoiler, but, the whole book is an exciting read. The editing is professional and outstanding. The plot flows seamlessly and makes one wish there was a bag of popcorn and soda handy. One drawback, the next one is not out. I look forward to seeing what my Clearwater and their extended family is up to and what is the next "speed bump" they will have to hop over. Only Doc would call a dire situation a speed bump. Please, Mr. Rennie, keep writing. The suspense is killing your audience. Next stop, ladies and gentlemen, The New York Times Best Seller List!
I have enjoyed and waited in anticipation of every adventure with Joe and Mia and Max and Frank and Fred and Jeremy and all CHIPs fellow cohorts in the Clearwater series. I have read Best Sellers and Mainline authors in the Publishing world, but these books are the ones that make me laugh, cry, hold my breath, and surprise me. I would be extremely unhappy if they stopped coming anytime soon. Please wait a little longer before you retire them and become a jockey, race car driver or whatever. Anything other writing these books would totally bore you to death!!
Cindy B
Clearwater Nemesis is the 35th addition to Mr. Rennie's Clearwater Series. I would highly recommend this series. First Mr. Rennie is one great storyteller. All 35 books of the Clearwater Series are easy reading, action packed, populated with memorable characters, loaded with humor and filled with clever twists. I look forward to each new addition. Keep them coming Al, if possible write faster! You are becoming the Mark Twain of Canadian writers! E.J.
Hi Mr. Rennie, Once again you nailed it with Clearwater Penalty. You have an amazing sense of timing and a creativity that can't be topped. I read about 100 books a year and you are by far my favorite author. I am thrilled by your ability to keep me engrossed by every one of your books. I appreciate Grisham, Brown, Baldacci and many others; however, you are the guy that keeps me coming back as soon as you next book is released. You have an unbelievable gift and don't let anything, or anyone, discourage you from "entertaining" your public. Thank you once again. Nancy
Love the books, can't put them down and I even find myself slipping into some of the phrases!!! Not sure that will always be a good thing though! Carol
I found you first on Smashwords; after that, I kept hitting the buy button in iTunes. I laughed, cried, and told my patients how I almost went to You Tube to look for your video. I see patients in long term care facilities. I have shared your stories and with my patients living on the seawall in Galveston, Tx. You have brought life, love and a bit of silliness into the lives of my patients and have made me a better practitioner. I am forever in your debt. Katherine
Thanks Al for another chapter (Clearwater Hustle) in the lives of my favourite imaginary friends. I'll go and put some stars and comments on iBooks which is where I get my copies. Anthony Templeman
Double Cross is the most complex and surprising book yet. The plot lines completely surprised me, and I loved the twists and turns. His ability to describe scenes made me feel like I was right there in Florida! Best of all, his ability to create in-depth characters and make me care about them is a rare gift and makes his books so much more enjoyable.
If you love slightly wacky mysteries, this book - in fact the whole Clearwater series - is a must read for you.
Hi, I have been a big fan since I discovered Joe and his family a few years ago. When I first began I could just order the next book as soon as I had finished the one I was reading but now I have to wait until the next one is written, weeks and weeks! So, I have just spent the last fortnight (two weeks) rereading the entire series of 36 books back to back. Brilliant! I love the way Joe's family interact, and how he juggles all the elements of his life. Keep it up Mr. Rennie. I will just have to manage until the next book comes out in July. I am hoping for at least 36 more and don't you dare kill Joe or any of his nearest and dearest off. Jane
I have read the entire series more than once and it keeps getting better. Can't wait for number forty… 5 Stars …Thanks again Al!
Loved it! Another great adventure in Paradise … Merle
Paul Minter had used much of his time during the past four weekends and most of his after work hours during the previous two weeks looking for just the right combination of owner and house. Now, he believed that he had found exactly what he was looking for. The house was a, 'For Sale by Owner' bungalow with one, or possibly two bedrooms in a quiet, low traffic, neighbourhood with nobody living close enough to the home to bother him when he made his move. The icing on that cake was that it was only four point three miles north of his home in North Park and slightly less than three to his job selling shoes at 'Lady Foot Locker'.
He had found the house with its hand painted 'For Sale by Owner' sign just over a week ago. From the time that he had identified his target, he had cruised around the area so that he would know all the ways of making a hasty escape and wouldn't be seen parked for too long in any one place. He was supposed to be looking around for a house to buy. At least that was what he was pretending to be doing. In fact, his motive was darker and more nefarious by a long shot.
On one of his passes by the target home, he had been able to slow down and watch as a small, attractive dark-haired woman, likely in her early or mid thirties, had pulled away from her driveway in her eight year old white Honda Civic. A neatly dressed girl, probably her daughter, maybe ten or eleven and of small stature had been with the woman. They had been chatting away about something and laughing together. The daughter could pose a problem. He'd have to think about how to resolve that complication. Or, maybe the kid would be no problem at all. Maybe she would be an incentive … and a bonus.
On two more occasions Paul Minter had watched as the unsuspecting mom or daughter had entered or left their little house. He was getting more excited about what he knew he was going to do now. But he had to be careful. This was not a first for him. When he was seventeen years old, he had been sentenced to fourteen years for kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault. He had served five years and then been given probation. Considering the recent crimes, he knew that the police would try to watch him whenever they could afford the man power. But they had nothing on him … just suspicions and those counted for nothing. The time to strike would come and he would act just as he had planned that he would. But patience was needed for it to be the right time.
At four-forty-five on a sunny Sunday afternoon in January, Minter made his decision. He parked his car across the street from the bungalow and lifted his small packed backpack from the rear seat. He left the top flap open for easy access. When the moment was right, quick and easy access to what he had in the bag would be crucial. He slung it over one shoulder, took his first deep breath, and he was ready. As he walked up the short walkway to the front door, he took two more deep breaths to settle himself and then paused to scan the area for anyone who might be watching. Satisfied that there appeared to be no witnesses interested in him and what he was up to, he approached the plain wooden front door.
His heart was pounding. That never changed when he was getting ready to confront his victims. He took another deep breath before he rang the front door bell and followed with a set of three sharp knocks on the door. He didn't have long to wait. The girl opened the door and asked him what he wanted.
"I'd like to talk to your mom about the sale of her house. The sign on the lawn says it's for sale by owner. Is your mother or father available?"
"My father doesn't live here with us anymore. Wait here … I'll get my mom. She's talking with George."
"Oh my, I seem to have come at an inopportune time if she's talking with someone else. I'll try to drop back here sometime in the next week."
"That's okay … George is her brother. He lives in Rockport. She'll get off the phone if she thinks that she has a buyer for the house."
"Okay, I'll wait here while you get her… This is a lovely house."
A minute later, the petite dark haired woman, who Minter had secretly watched and coveted, arrived at the front door with her daughter at her side. She smiled at him.
"Can I help you, sir?"
"I hope so. And maybe I can help you … How much are you asking for your home?"
"One hundred and ninety- nine thousand … I've had a lot of renovations done to the interior in the last three years."
"That's close to the top end of my budget but manageable. If it's not too much trouble, could I have a quick look through the place now?"
"We're going to have our dinner soon, but, sure, a short walk through would be okay I think. Follow me …"
As the woman turned to walk back into her home, with the little girl running ahead of her, Minter let the backpack slip from his shoulder, down his arm to his hand. The better to have quick access to the things he was going to need.
Clearwater Spring Break
The craziness officially started last Friday when thousands of university students from across the northern, eastern and central states started pouring into the Clearwater/ St. Pete's area. Many of them came with the idea of getting drunk, stoned or both, and partying with as many 'new and quickly forgotten' friends as they could handle. The intent was to stay that way throughout the entire next week before they resumed their serious studies back from wherever they came. And, as always, there were numbers of import, low life, drug pedaling, entrepreneurs looking to sell their product at inflated prices. These guys, and the occasional gal, arrived with their assortment of everything from weed - from three continents, mind you – to crazy making painkillers like OxyContin and Fentanyl, to cocaine and every hallucinogenic drug like LSD you might imagine in between … all of it to meet the heavy holiday demands of the partying entitled students.
This was also the time of year when the legitimate local retailers, particularly the ones who owned the restaurants and the beach souvenir and novelty shops, looked forward to - even more than Christmas, which was off-season in this part of the world. Three t-shirts for ten bucks and two bikinis for eighteen … I mean it doesn't get any better than that when the actual cost of the product is less than half that amount.
Beyond those 'fun in the sun' moments among the students, it was the time of year when the local cops went nuts trying to keep a lid on the insanity. And that was why, on this beautiful, sunny, warm Florida Monday morning, Detective Sergeant Robb Pogue, wearing his freshly pressed police issue navy blue bicycle shorts and white short-sleeve cotton shirt, was meeting with the CHIPs guys on the top deck of the boat that just happens to also serve as our office.
"So you want us to keep an eyeball peeled for any of these drug dudes as we go through our regular day and let you know if we spot any of them," I asked on behalf of our diminished, short attention spanned staff. That's diminished in number, not in ability or intelligence … for the most part.
"You were paying attention, Joe … Yeah … this is the chief's special initiative. We're contacting all of the local retailers and the commercial outlets we believe that we can trust with this collection of mug shots. The idea is that if these guys are spotted anywhere in the vicinity, they are likely here to sell product. We want to know where they are, what they have, where they got it, and then our undercover guys and gals can watch and wait until a deal is going down. That's when they'll move in to make the arrest. As the chief said, 'Nip it in the bud so to speak' … We don't need any overdose deaths this year although with the amount of knock-off Fentanyl available, it will be a miracle if we don't have a few."
"And CHIPs made the chief's list of businesses that you can trust, Robb …? Given our occasional speed-bumps with the Clearwater PD, I'm so impressed."
"I can't lie to you, Joe … it was close with you guys, but yeah, you made the cut. But you are not to do anything more than simply report the sighting. Do not go all super cop or masked avenger bullshit. Do not intervene; and please, for the love of God, do not shoot anyone. Given your less than stellar history with the department, the chief told Simon, who told me, to tell you specifically, Joe that little part about not … repeat 'not!' shooting anyone. No more Starbucks Kid … if you know what I mean."
"So, hurt my feelings why don't you, Robb …?"
At the mention of the Starbucks Kid, my guys started to chortle like Robb had just told a great Rodney joke. I couldn't see the humour of it at all and moved the conversation along by asking if he wanted to tell us anything else because if he didn't, we had real work to do, and at least one major problem to resolve. 'Major problem to resolve' made Pogue smile like he knew something about what we do that no one else knows. I hate it when he does that. So supercilious if you know what I mean …!
Like a sudden earth shattering breakthrough in esoteric philosophy had just occurred to him, Robb added, "Just one more thing guys … turn to pages ten and eleven … James and John Bull. These two brothers have a number of out-of-state want warrants on them. They're part of the Georgia Mafia working out of Atlanta. They're considered to be heavily armed and very dangerous. As you can read for yourselves on the flyer, they are enforcers for the mob in Atlanta with numerous aggravated assault charges pending and there are strong suspicions by the Atlanta PD that they are not above committing murder. In fact, the best thinking is, that one, or possibly both of them, have committed a few killings already. They're on the run right now because their strong arm stuff resulted in the death of one of their cash poor, but well connected, clients. These guys don't know boundaries. If you see one of them, in all probability, the other one will be close by. Watch, call it in and then, keep your distance. We have SWAT on the full ready throughout the next week. They will be the responding officers if anyone reports that they have either or both of the Bull brothers in their sights."
"Got it, Robb … it was good of you to drop by … Give my regards to Simon and to my new best bud, the chief."
"Hold on …" Pogue stated. "Do any of you knuckleheads have any questions? I want to make certain we have a clear understanding of what the expectations are here. I don't need any kind of blowback coming my way because one of you guys misunderstood something I've just said."
"How much do we get paid for each sighting?" Luke asked in true short but knucklehead fashion, like he didn't know the answer to that one.
"Consider it your civic duty …"
"Uh, huh, so nothing, then … and is there a reward for nailing one or both of these two Bull brothers?"
"There is a reward offered on both of them. At present, I'm not certain about the exact amount, but if you report a sighting, you would be entitled to a portion of that reward. Is there anything else ….?"
"Is the reward good like for both dead or alive? Or only on the alive option …?" Luke persisted.

Sunflower seeds are good for the human body. They are an excellent source of vitamin E and contain dense amounts of copper and vitamin B1. Additionally, they are good sources of manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin B6, vitamin B3 and selenium.
The vitamin E in sunflower seeds helps reduce inflammation in the body. It also helps guard against cardiovascular diseases.
There are 204 calories in 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds. They are high in fat and can spoil quickly. Sunflower seeds have been used for more than 5,000 years by Native Americans. They are one of the first crops to be harvested in North America.

When the Center for Advanced Study was established in 1959, it had no physical location. Instead the Center consisted of four University of Illinois distinguished professors who were recognized for the scholarly and creative contributions they had already made to the University and beyond. This core group of scholars provided the nucleus for a program that in 2017 is unique in the nation.
Today the Center is still charged, as it was originally, with promoting the highest levels of scholarship and discourse. The Center also serves as the primary formal venue on our campus for various types of scholarly interaction and creative activity across academic disciplines. It sponsors workshops and seminars, supports new scholarship, and brings to campus more than thirty distinguished scholars, writers, and artists each academic year, in collaboration with other units of the University.
At any one time there have been as many as 28 active CAS Professors. Since 1959 a total of 89 University of Illinois Professors have held CAS appointments. Each year the Center appoints additional Associates, Fellows and Resident Associates. Much of the uniqueness of the Center lies in the diverse contributions of these appointments.
Several Professors with a long history of involvement in the Center's work offered their thoughts during its twentieth anniversary celebrations in 1979. Former director Daniel Alpert noted the Center's key role in helping "to make the campus a very special place . . . to create networks of friendships and collaboration between scholars in various departments." Professor Alpert later established a lecture fund benefiting the Center. Charles Slichter, CAS Professor of Physics, observed that "All scholarly activity—and the conditions of it flourishing—are very delicate. It needs nourishing. It is the university's responsibility to create an environment to nourish it. The role of the Center in the University is as a symbol of that nourishment."
In 1972 the Center took on responsibility for the George A. Miller Programs, including the Miller Visiting Professor and Scholar Program and the CAS/MillerComm public events series. Since that time, more than 250 Miller Visiting Professors and Scholars have visited the University of Illinois campus, and approximately 1,700 speakers have participated in CAS/MillerComm events. A 1995 report from the Research Policy Committee of the Graduate College said, ". . . the process used by the CAS to stimulate, select, and implement events in the MillerComm series is admirable."
When the Center was evaluated in 1997 by the Committee on the Mission and Structure of the Center for Advanced Study, CAS Professor Donald Burkholder said, "Currently, [the Center] is making a major contribution to the campus in quite a wide variety of ways. Its original mission, in my opinion, is still as important as ever: encouragement, recognition, incentives. It has succeeded and continues to succeed in '. . . the encouragement of creative achievement and scholarship by providing recognition to scholars of the highest distinction and by providing incentives for the highest level of scholarly achievement.'"

Mabul – The Flood,
Everything in Yoni's (Yoav Rotman) life is complicated. He's almost 13, a gifted student, but physically undeveloped and desperate to change that before his up-and-coming Bar Mitzvah. He's selling his homework so that he can buy a bodybuilding "wonder powder". Every night, Yoni does pull ups with heavy weights tied to his legs and he's trying to find a way to deepen his voice so that the class bullies will stop calling him Helium.
On the eve of his Bar Mitzvah, Yoni has no choice but to "become a man" when he's faced with the unexpected return of his autistic brother who he has not seen for almost a decade. Tomer (Michael Moshonov), 17, has been hidden away in an institution which is about to be shut down. His sudden arrival not only turns Yoni's life upside down, but also shakes the already unstable foundations of the entire Roshko family.
During his fast journey into adulthood, Yoni finds out painful truths about his dysfunctional parents. His father, Gidi (Tzachi Grad), a former crop-duster pilot has been fired for smoking pot but continues to leave the house every morning as if he had a job to go to. Yoni's mother, Miri (Ronit Elkabetz), works in a kindergarten, joyfully taking care of the young children in her community. But, this can never compensate for the pain in her personal life – her disconnection from her husband and the son that she had to send away. When Tomer comes home, Miri has no choice but to confront these issues head on.
Miri and Gidi are hardly able to communicate with each other and with their son Yoni who longs for their attention as he goes through the paces of adolescence.
As the only real adult in the family, Yoni ends up having to deal, on his own, with the brother he hasn't seen for ten years. Tomer becomes enraptured with the "Tale of Noah's Ark" which Yoni chants every night in preparation for his Bar Mitzvah. As the ceremony approaches, the brothers grow closer, united in a world of make believe centered around the biblical story of Noah's Ark, while the real world around them seems to be falling apart, bit by bit.
When Tomer comes home to his family in this small community in Israel, he is met with ambivalence. But, somehow he makes his way as he revels in this homecoming and the peaceful world around him. In the end, Tomer's presence brings to light what really matters in our lives.
Quotes from the media:
"Well cast, intensely thesped, gorgeously rendered pic… Newcomer Rotman is a rare find, delivering a
performance that is completely natural and convincing. Working in a fluid, lyrical style in which the visual
provides even more information than the verbal, Nattiv ("Strangers") confirms his directorial chops.
Easily one of the year's most impressive-looking Israeli films, "The Flood" owes much to the superlative
camerawork of France-trained, Quebec-based lenser Philippe Lavalette and the poetic editing of Tali
Halter-Shenkar. Other craft contributions are first-class."
- Variety (Alissa Simon) Oct. 14, 2010
"….the movie contains several lovely as well as extremely powerful scenes. And it has one other great
virtue – Yoav Rotman as Yoni, Tomer's younger brother. Rotman demonstrates the skill of an experienced
actor, shifting between fury held in check and expressed compassion. His presence sets the entire film
going and sweeps viewers into its world so they identify with its human life."
- Haaretz (Uri Klien) Oct. 4, 2010
"MABUL: The Flood proved to be a warm, crowd-pleaser, with superb performances especially from
veteran actress Ronit Elkabetz (The Band's Visit) and Michael Moshonov (Lebanon). The biggest
surprise was Nattiv's mature and moderate pacing – a fluid directing hand… Nattiv rises to the occasion,
delivering a delicate and moving film.

Barton Springs Pool
This historic Austin, Texas, pool was built on the site of a sacred spring that the local Tonkawa tribe once used for purification rituals. With an average water temperature of 70 degrees, Barton Springs quickly became a popular swimming hole among settlers in the 19th century.
After it was deeded to the city of Austin in 1918, the swimming area was expanded by building dams and sidewalks around the spring. Today, Barton Springs Pool remains a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.

Ever since Katrina in 2005 (a devastating hurricane season for sure), climatologists and various authorities on tropical weather have predicted "stronger than average" hurricane seasons. While the Atlantic season did appear active this year, no major storms hit the United States, even though there have been no shortage of cyclonic doom predictions since Katrina.
AccuWeather predicted the United States would be hit by five named storms in 2010; it didn't happen. And AccuWeather is one of these groups that peddles global warming nonsense. Previous seasonal predictions since 2005 have also failed to materialize.
And the oft blamed culprit for these dire predictions that don't materialize? You guessed it: manmade global warming.
The only problem with these silly (failed) predictions is that Mother Nature didn't cooperate, once again proving that our climate is enormously complex and still capable of baffling the so-called smartest among us.
Update: Current Year-to-Date analysis of Northern Hemisphere and Global Tropical Cyclone Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) AND Power Dissipation Index (PDI) has fallen even further than during the previous 3-years. The global inactivity is at 33-year lows and historical where Typhoons form in the Western Pacific.
While the North Atlantic has seen 15 tropical storms / hurricanes of various intensity, the Pacific basin as a whole is at historical lows! In the Western North Pacific stretching from Guam to Japan and the Philippines and China, the current ACE value of 48 is the lowest seen since reliable records became available (1945) and is 78% below normal*. The next lowest was an ACE of 78 in 1998. See figure below for visual evidence of the past 40-years of tropical cyclone activity.

The exhibition, entitled Herb Alpert: A Visual Melody consists of abstract mixed-media paintings and large and small scale bronze sculptures. Alpert's expressive use of various media invite the viewer into movements and forms that are somewhat lyrical.
Herb Alpert has spent more than half his life as a respected abstract expressionist painter and sculptor, whose work has been widely exhibited in the States and Europe. Since he began painting in 1969, Alpert has experimented with a number of different styles and materials. Always personal and expressive, Alpert's painting articulate fluidity and motion. The artist's sculptures, particularly his towering Black Spirit Totems series, draw interest with their freedom of form and massive size. The first totems were inspired by indigenous sculptural forms from the Pacific Northwest, but the recent works have become more gestural. Walking among these giants is awe-inspiring.
Alpert's paintings and sculptures have been exhibited in museums and galleries in America and Europe including, Art Cologne, Art Fair Basel, the Tennessee State Museum, Nashville and the Pasadena Museum of California Art. His work is also in the permanent collections at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), Los Angeles,CA., the Tennessee State Museum, Nashville, and 9 sculptures at The Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, IL. In 2013, Herb Alpert received the National Medal of Arts Award presented at the White House by President Barack Obama.
Alpert commented on the exhibition at Heather James, ''To have my work exhibited at a world-class gallery like Heather James is exciting.'' Herb Alpert: A Visual Melody will run until 31st May, 2018.
At the same time, Heather James is currently presenting to the market Untitled, 1932 by Salvador Dalí. The piece was previously an unknown painting until experts agreed it was the work of Salvador Dalí.
The work, which has been signed ''Gala Salvador Dalí'' in tribute to Dalí's wife Gala, was recently authenticated by Dalí scholar Nicolas Descharnes. It has been in a private collection for over 75 years.
It features two recurring motifs from Dalí's oeuvre: a window looking in on an interior space and a protruding pole.

In the silver mining boomtown of Leadville, Colorado, in 1879 there were 120 saloons, 19 beer halls, 188 gambling houses, and only 4 churches.
Ricards found that prostitutes in that 1860s boomtown, unlike the stereotype of the innocent, young "white slave," were actually considerably older on average than women of the western mining states Colorado, Idaho, and Nevada.
In nearly every Western boomtown, one could find blacks and whites living next to Asians and Native Americans, and immigrants of dozens of nationalities working alongside native-born Americans.
The neighborhood began as a coal-mining boomtown at the turn of the 19th century, built around a massive complex of mine shafts ultimately acquired by U.S. Steel Corp., which over the next century was the dominant economic engine of Birmingham.
At first encounter, Tuxtla has a rawboned, tropical boomtown feel and why not.
An oil boomtown in the middle of North Dakota is proving that the laws of supply and demand apply to everything -- even stripper salaries.

Lars Nicklas Backstrom was born on November 23, 1987, in Gavle, Sweden. (Click here for a complete listing of today's sports birthdays.) Nicklas was the second of two boys. He and his older brother, Kristoffer, were on skates almost as soon as they could walk.
Nicklas was obsessed with hockey. As a toddler, he walked around the house with his skates on, and as a boy he slept in his skates. Actually, the Backstrom boys never met a sport they didn't love—or couldn't play at a high level—including soccer, tennis and golf. Both excelled at hockey, playing for youth-league teams. By his 11th birthday, Niclas began to excel on the ice, and soon he was playing two age groups above his level.
Nicklas got his athletic genes from both parents. His mom Christine had been a professional handball player. His father had an even more impressive resume.
Anders played professional hockey for Byrnas, the local club in Gayle. He was drafted by the New York Rangers in 1980, but he never joined the team. His career with Byrnas lasted 10 seasons. Among the team's all-time greats were Borje Salming, Stefan Persson and Mats Naslund. All went on to stardom in the NHL.
Nicklas was eager to follow in his father's footsteps. After he turned 16, Nicklas was scooped up by Byrnas's junior team in the J20 SuperElit League. He helped the club reach the playoffs in his first year.
In his second season, Nicklas averaged better than a point a game and was promoted to Byrnas's entry in the Elitserien, Sweden's top pro league. Nicklas played a full year with the grown-ups in 2005–06 and more than held his own, scoring 10 goals with 16 assists in 46 games. He was named Rookie of the Year and also scored a goal in the playoffs. Playing with and against seasoned pros, he demonstrated an astonishing ability to put the puck on teammates' sticks with precise, easy-to-handle passes.
All the while, Nicklas was representing his country in international play. At the 2005 U18 World Championships, he had five points in seven games as Sweden captured the bronze medal. It was at this point that NHL teams began assigning scouts to follow his progress. The Capitals made him a priority for Mats Weiderstal, one of the top talent evaluators in Europe.
Nicklas played for Sweden in the 2006 World Junior Championships, netting seven points in six games. He also snagged a spot on the National Team at the World Championships that year. The Swedes blanked the U.S. and edged Canada 5–4 to reach the finals. There they defeated the Czech Republic, 4–0. He played on the same line as Henrik Zetterberg and Johan Franzen of the Detroit Red Wings. At 18 years, six months, Nicklas was the youngest player ever to take the ice for Sweden in the World Championships.
Soon after, Nicklas was selected with the fourth pick in the NHL Draft by the Capitals. The first three players chosen were American Erik Johnson and Canadians Jordan Staal and Jonathan Toews. Nicklas's junior team teammates Patrik Berglund and Dennis Persson also went in the first round.
Nicklas turned down Washington's initial contract offer, feeling like everything was going too fast. This frustrated the Caps, who were concerned they'd have to wait a year to team the young playmaker with their great young scorer, Alexander Ovechkin. But Nicklas wouldn't be rushed. Instead he logged one the 2006–07 season with Byrnas, during which he tallied 40 points in 45 games. He led the club in points and assists.
Nicklas began his NHL career in 2007–08. He made an immediate impression on his Washington teammates with his great hands and vision. Not only was he a talented set-up man from his first game, his superb anticipation made him a dangerous defensive player. Rarely a game went by when Nicklas didn't step in front of a pass and begin a break the other way. He was racking up assists like crazy, shattering the team mark for rookies along the way.
The Caps had a successful season too, although it certainly didn't begin that way. After a disastrous 6–14 start, coach Glen Hanlon was shown the door andreplaced by Bruce Boudreau, who rewarded Nicklas with lots of ice time—as long as he played within the team's system. With Ovechkin turning in an MVP season—including 65 goals and 47 assists—the team reversed its fortunes and finished atop the Southeast Conference with a 43–31–8 record. The Caps won 12 of their final 13 games. Nicklas was a big part of this surge. He had 18 points in the team's final 18 games.
Centering much of the year for a line that featured Ovechkin and Viktor Kozlov, Nicklas led the club with 55 assists; 22 came on power plays. He added 14 goals—four of which were game-winners—for a total of 69 points. He was the NHL's Rookie of the Month in January and was one of three finalists for the league 's Calder Trophy as top rookie. He finished second to Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Caps opened the playoffs with a 5–4 victory over the Flyers, but they lost the next three games, including a painful double-OT disappointment. Washington battled back to force a Game 7, which went into overtime. Philadelphia sent the fans home empty-handed when Joffrey Lupul scored a power play goal. Nicklas had three goals and two assists in the seven games. His +3 postseason rating was the best on the club.
Nicklas continued to evolve as a player in 2008–09. He scored 22 goals and added 66 assists to lead all second-year players with 88 points. Aside from Ovechkin, no Capital had piled up more points since Mike Ridley in the 1980s. Once again, Nicklas was murder on the power play, setting up no fewer than 28 Washington goals and scoring 14 himself. Washington repeated as division champs, with a 50–24–8 record.
Heading into the playoffs, many experts were picking the Caps to reach the Stanley Cup Finals. After four games in the opening round against the Rangers, this prediction looked silly. The Caps were down in the series, having lost three games by a single goal. Washington regrouped and tied the Blueshirts. In Game 7, veteran Sergei Fedorov scored the winning goal for the Caps in the third period.
Washington's next series was an even stiffer challenge. Facing the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Capitals seized control early, winning the first two games at home. The Pens turned the tables by winning the next three games—two on overtime goals. The Caps responded with an OT win in Pittsburgh to froce Game 7.
Unfortunately, the Penguins had too much offense for the Caps to handle. They overwhelmed goalie Simeon Varmalov on their way to a 6–2 win. Nicklas tallied at least one point in each of his team's seven playoff wins, but that was of no consolation. Neither was the fact that the Penguins went on to win the Stanley Cup. The Caps had 'em and they let 'em go.
The Capitals hoped to learn from their playoff collapse and improve in 2009–10. They did so by winning their third straight Southeast Division title and posting the best record in the NHL, with 54 wins and 121 points. Nicklas blossomed into a true superstar. Game after game he dazzled opponents with his otherworldly passing. When he and Ovechkin teamed up on power plays, they were almost guaranteed to produce a quality scoring chance.
Nicklas ended up third in the NHL in assists with 68. He added 33 goals to top the 100-point mark. Only MVP Henrik Sedin, Joe Thornton and Ovechkin had more points. And no one topped Nicklas's 48 points in road games. Nicklas was part of another elite club. Only he, Wayne Gretzky and Peter Stastny had begun their careers with three seasons of 55 or more assists.
Again, however, the Caps faltered in the playoffs. What could have been a career-defining postseason for Nicklas, Ovechkin and the team's other young stars ended suddenly and unexpectedly with a first-round loss to the Montreal Canadiens. Washington led the series after four games, but the club failed to close the deal when goalie Jaroslav Halak got hot for Montreal. He turned aside a barrage of shots in three straight wins, as the Canadiens pulled off teh upset. Lost in Washington 's disappointment was Nicklas's first NHL hat trick.
Did Nicklas have the drive to match his skills? Would he secure a place among the league's elite? The Capitals were certainly convinced.
In May of 2010, they put the finishing touches on a 10-year contract that paid Nicklas upwards of $65 million. The signing was part of a plan to lock up their four "Young Guns"—Backstrm, Ovechkin, Mike Green and Alexander Semin. With this core, the Caps promised to be a formidable team for years to come.
Few centers in recent history have been more feared on the power play than Nicklas . At even-strength, his knack for finding open teammates and thinking a pass ahead makes him a dangerous player. With a man advantage—and with sniper Alexander Ovechkin hovering near the net—Nicklas is amazing. In this regard, the fact that he is not one of Washington's fastest skaters may actually work to his advantage.
Nicklas doesn't normally draw oohs and aahs with bullet passes. Instead, he gets the puck where it needs to go in a way that any player can handle. This skill involves vision, timing and great hands. He is one of the few centers who can make saucer passes that land flat.
Nicklas is obviously a potent offensive player. But he has also worked hard to become excellent defensively and on face-offs. Above all, he is competitive. Nicklas skates to win on every shift.

text: ROCHESTER, N.Y., May 13 -- Koning Corp., a Rochester-based imaging startup, announced it has received a $2.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to build a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanner for the early diagnosis of breast cancer, image-guided therapeutics and breast cancer screening. Koning is working with local electronic component companies to build the first CBCT scanner prototype. Ruola Ning, PhD, founder of Koning and a professor in the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) Department of Radiology, said CBCT has the potential to consistently find tumors before they become incurable. "Small disease is curable disease," Ning said. "In pre-clinical trials, cone beam CT detected with certainty tumors between one and two millimeters in diameter, while standard mammography had trouble accurately detecting tumors ten times that size." When a malignant tumor reaches about 2 mm, two deadly events occur: angiogenesis and metastasis. Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels that supply the nutrients tumors need to grow. With the newly formed vessels in place, cancer cells that break away from the tumor can circulate through the body to "seed" cancer elsewhere (metastasis). Conventional mammography spots a tumor at 11 millimeters in diameter on average. The problem, Ning said, is that mammography attempts to capture the image of a 3-D object on a 2-D detector. In the resulting images, small tumors located in the middle of the breast may be lost among the overlapping layers of healthy tissue above and below. Ning said CBCT eliminates structural overlap for a clearer view of early tumors. At the same time, the prototype machine captures images by rotating around the breast, not by flattening or compressing it, as in conventional mammography. Koning's CBCT system includes an ergonomic exam table that isolates the breast, a novel cone beam x-ray source, a detector that captures more information as it circles the breast and software that allows for better 3-D imaging. Ning said his apparatus also achieves the improved imaging at or below the radiation dose used in conventional mammography. The improved 3-D accuracy and lower radiation seen with CBCT may also help to realize the potential of image-guided therapeutics or surgery, Koning said. In the future, highly accurate scans may enable surgeons to instantly confirm that a surgery has succeeded. Excell Partners Inc. (formerly University Technology Partners Inc.) and the URMC Office of Technology Transfer have worked closely with Ning to begin commercializing CBCT. URMC invested $300,000 to provide CBCT patents and licensed the technology to Koning to make, use and sell CBCT scanners. Excell, a non-profit corporation formed to help URMC researchers start businesses, announced this week it will invest an additional $25,000 in Koning for business strategy development.

Transfer pricing: operational guidance: examining transfer pricing reports: OECD methodologies
A large proportion of any report will typically be taken up by a general review of the various methodologies as set out in the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines. It should explain how the methodologies in the Guidelines have been selected or rejected, and applied to the transactions carried out by the company, and these parts of the report should be scrutinised very carefully. Are the assumptions and conclusions reasonable ones?
A report may first divide transactions with affiliates into broad types - distribution to third parties of goods purchased from affiliates, distribution of own manufactured goods to affiliates, etc. It may then consider those transactions in the light of the various OECD methodologies. Looking at groups of similar transactions - transactions in aggregate - is appropriate if at arm's length a trader would do the same. As the OECD Guidelines recognise at paragraph 3.9, there are often situations where separate transactions are so closely linked or continuous that they cannot be evaluated adequately on a separate basis. The OECD cites examples, including some long-term contracts for the supply of commodities or services, and the pricing of a range of closely-linked products (e.g. in a product line) where it is impractical to determine pricing for each individual product or transaction.
Businesses tend to negotiate a price and then use that price until something happens which means it has to be changed. They may also accept some form of basket pricing, which essentially reflects the pragmatic proposition that if a range of products is being sourced from a single supplier, only the overall price matters, not the price for individual products.
Hence, a business may negotiate one composite price for a number of goods.
Cases where basket pricing has been applied to both sales and purchases between the same pair of entities should be approached with caution: independent companies might possibly accept this but each would want to be sure they benefited appropriately. Consider how to check that the appropriate arm's length reward accrues to each party.
Further concerns which might arise from affiliates adopting set-off pricing are considered at INTM421100.
The various OECD methodologies and their application are discussed at INTM421000 onwards. The following pages of this chapter discuss some of the features that may be found in a report which concern OECD methodologies. Any attempt to apply the OECD methodologies should depend on the full facts and circumstances of the case.
