BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina Friday announced its financial results for 2011, with its health plan reporting net income of $60.7 million on revenue of $2.1 billion for the year – compared with net income of $96.2 million on revenue of $1.95 billion in 2010. The Columbia-based insurance giant, with 47 subsidiaries, said its rate increases for the year were lower than the national average, as was its 2.9 percent net income margin, compared with a 4.9 percent net income margin last year. A spokeswoman said the net income and margin were higher last year because of a large tax credit. The company in 2011 also maintained its A+ rating for the 10th consecutive year from the independent financial rating agency A.M. Best; it was only one of two plans nationwide to achieve that level of recognition.
S.C.'s 2 largest golf management companies merge
The two largest golf management companies in South Carolina have merged to form National Golf Management. The new company was announced Friday as a joint venture of Burroughs and Chapin Golf Management and Myrtle Beach National Co. National Golf Management has a vested interest in 23 of the 90 courses along the Grand Strand. Company president Bob Mauragas said the merger would stabilize prices in the market. The courses managed by the new company include the area's first golf resort, Pine Lakes Country Club, as well as King's North at Myrtle Beach National, Pawley's Plantation Golf and Country Club and Tidewater Plantation and Golf.
New data center breaks ground
Roper St. Francis Healthcare broke ground on its planned data center in North Charleston Friday, continuing a mini construction boom of digital storage facilities in the Lowcountry. The newest data center, which will sit on 24 acres along Palmetto Commerce Parkway, will allow the healthcare system to consolidate existing record-retention hardware and provide capacity for more as the shift to cloud storage accelerates. The 16,000-square-foot structure has been built to withstand Category 5 hurricanes as well as strong earthquakes, according to Roper St. Francis, and is slated to open next summer. This summer, Immedion, a managed hosting services company, plans to open its third data center in South Carolina nearby. In October, the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWAR) opened a new 20,000-square-foot data center in Hanahan as part of a broader Navy cost-saving initiative. And the biggest in the business, Google, is performing final testing on its second $600 million data center in Berkeley County.
Collection company will add jobs
A Rock Hill collection company says it will add about 100 employees in the coming year. The Herald of Rock Hill reported that Williams and Fudge says the additions would bring the company's local work force to about 400 people. Owner Gary Williams said the average salary for employees is about $60,000 annually. Williams and Fudge specializes in collecting student loans and related debt. The firm does not collect the federally backed student loans but focuses on loans made directly by colleges to their students, as well as unpaid fines such as parking tickets.

Month: March 2014
Crabby salmon claws.
I think my new favourite colours are these three I've used today. I bought these colours for my mum as a birthday present. She likes simple and neutral tones, but she wanted to try doing the fourth finger in a different colour. So!
No. 7 (Pink Blossom) Stay Perfect Nail Colour £5.99 from Boots
Opinion:beautiful bubblegum colour, needs at least two layers but has a lovely glossy finish. Love it!
Barry M Nail Effects Confetti (Marshmellow) £3.99 from Boots
Opinion:Not a topcoat I would choose for myself but it's really cute if you like pale colours. Mostly white sticks in a clear varnish.
Maybelline Color Show (Corals Up!) £3.99 from Boots
Opinion:Fantastic! I adore this colour so much! It's a perfect coral colour and I've used it to add a stripe on my thumb and index finger
Minty Banana Sprinkles.
My latest nail design is yet another favourite colour, and a brand new top coat.
Another mint nail varnish
No. 7 (Spring Meadow) Stay Perfect Nail Colour £5.99 from Boots
Opinion: Beautiful colour, needs at least two coats but it doesn't chip easily and looks lovely and glossy
and my new favourite top coat
Barry M Nail Effects Confetti (Sour Apple) £3.99 from Boots
Opinion: A tiny mix of yellow, blue and white sticks in a clear varnish. Really funky and would look good over pale yellow or blue. It seems to congregate in the middle of the nail and isn't that easy to spread over the whole nail. It is do-able though and looks great.

|Dan Topolski (New College), 1945-2015
He was a riveting speaker at the April 3, 2008 Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race Dinner in New York City. (Other rowers who spoke that evening were Saman Majd, Kate Weber, and the late Peter Darrow.)
During Oxford's unmatched streak of 10 straight wins in the Boat Race, 1976-1985, Dan Topolski was Oxford's unpaid chief rowing coach. Oxford also won two of the other five races during 1972-1987, for a 12-3 record.
Topolski took a constantly losing Oxford boat and made it a constant winner, motivating the rowers with a laid-back manner but steely determination. His philosophy was: "I like to win..."
In 1987, his last year, he faced the Second American Revolution, as four American oarsmen picked for the Blue Boat - half the boat - decided they missed professional coaching, and after Oxford's 1986 loss to Cambridge refused to row under Topolski's amateur-seeming-to-them direction. One of them threw a cup of tomato soup over Topolski at the Thames Rowing Club in Henley. Oxford went on to beat Cambridge without them, by four lengths, in a thunderstorm.
The next year, Topolski turned down the assistant coach job, saying: "It's a hard slog, unpaid ... If it's not a pleasure, it's not worth it."
The fallout from the mutiny was a series of disputatious years for Oxford rowing, ending with the introduction of professional coaching staff.
Topolski had the last laugh, as his story of the mutiny - cast as the British amateur-with-a-passion-for-his-sport who knows more than he is given credit for vs. Americans with a professional-athlete mindset - became a book, True Blue: The Oxford Boat Race Mutiny (1989), the William Hill Sports Book of the Year, and then a film starring Dominic West (1996). The Guardian obituary describes the book as "slanted" but "highly readable".
The son of Polish painter and cartoonist Feliks Topolski and actress Marian Everall, Daniel Topolski grew up surrounded by his parents' leftist friends. The Telegraph notes that as a youth,
On Boat Race day, Daniel was taken to "beer and buns" parties at the studio of artist Julian Trevelyan on the Middlesex side of the Thames at Chiswick. The studio's blue doors marked the halfway point of the course. "We supported dark blue, which was Oxford. They always lost," Topolski noted. "We used to watch it there with Stephen Spender and Louis MacNeice and their children. We'd go out to see the crews go by, my mother holding my hand, and she said, 'One day you'll do that, son.'"Topolski's father taught him to scull in an old wooden boat on the lake at Regent's Park. At Westminster he captained the First Eight, but on arrival at Oxford in 1964 he found he was lighter than other students competing for the Blue Boat. The chief coach, Ronnie Howard, usually dismissed lightweight candidates, saying: "You're much too small for this kind of thing." The Telegraph obit reports that Topolski compensated by gaining weight and the coaches adjusted their opinion based on his performance:
Topolski fed himself a preparation called "Bodybulk", which raised his weight to 12 stone [an increase of 24 pounds]. Hugh "Jumbo" Edwards, another member of the coaching team in this period, selected Topolski for the 1967 Blue Boat. Asked why he had included this comparatively lightweight oarsman, Edwards said: "It's simple. When he's in, the boat goes faster."So Topolski rowed twice in the Boat Race, with Oxford winning in 1967 and losing in 1968.
Topolski did not look like the typical crew-cut Oxford Blue. He brought some style to Oxford rowing, getting Biba to design singlets for the New College Boat Club. Topolski achieved a special academic distinction, being the last person to earn a Fourth Class Oxford degree, for Geography, before the Fourth was abolished.
In 1983, Cambridge threatened not to race to protest the presence in Oxford's boat of Boris Rankov, a graduate student with five Blues already to his credit. Topolski suggested "Cambridge should stop bleating and prepare to race." Rankov rowed, Cambridge lost, but the "Rankov Affair" still rankled, leading to the "Rankov Rule" limiting how many rowing Blues anyone may earn.
Topolski represented Britain at rowing five times during the 1969-1978 period. His honors and positions include:
- Silver medal, 1975 World Championships in Nottingham (Coxless fours).
- Gold medal, 1977 World Championships in Bosbaan, Amsterdam (Eights).
- Four Henley Medals.
- Coach, Britain's women's eight, 1978-1980.
- Commentator for the BBC, 1990-2013.
- Trustee of the Mark Lees Foundation, which supports young rowers.
- Consultant to the Oxford squad in the mid-1990s.
- Researcher for the BBC from about 1968 to 1973.
- Eight-month solo trip through Africa financed by Time (1972) and a book on the trip, Muzungu: One Man's Africa (1976).
- Trip to the Hindu Kush in northern Pakistan to live among the Kalash tribes (1975).
- Tour of South America with his father (1981), during which he was arrested in Paraguay in a police dragnet and imprisoned. The tour was filmed and shown on the BBC television program The World About Us (1982), and then became a book, Travels with My Father: A South American Journey (1983).

Please find together for charity's Quarterly Letters and Travel Reports below.
Quarterly letter Q2 and Q3 2014
Travel Report Luang Prabang November 2011
Thursday 10 November 2011
Thanks to Tiger Airways we had the possibility to seize the day. Our flight to Bangkok left at 7.10 am. We brought 100 kg of clothes, footballs, jigsaws, toothbrushes, skipping ropes, Frisbees, etc for the children.
In Bangkok we had a five-hour transit, thanks again to Tiger. We took the opportunity to have a long together for charity meeting. Preparing for the visit to the orphanage and to meet our contact person, Andrew Brown. We also took the opportunity to thoroughly go through the finances, the web site, future events, quarterly reports and our special Christmas drive.
Finally we got on the plane to Luang Prabang. The view from the airplane was amazing – rolling green mountains, the winding Mekong River and golden temples. Finally and safely on the ground we arrived at a small and charming airport.
Our first impression of Luang Prabang was a peaceful and surprisingly clean town. It is definitely an oasis in the middle of all the green mountains.
Later in the evening we finally met Andrew Brown, an enthusiastic Australian guy, who is the driving sprit behind the orphanage. We interviewed him for two hours, learning as much as possible about the situation at the orphanage.
Friday 11 November 2011
We woke up to a chilly morning. All the clothes we had brought with us went on. Perhaps it was only 20 degrees – for us, a cold temperature. We sat outside and ate breakfast and prepared ourselves for the day. We organized all the clothes and toys that we had so generously been donated. Boy-clothes were out in one pile and girl-clothes into another pile. We had a total of 186 t-shirts, 49 pairs of trousers, 28 dresses / skirts and a variety of toys and books with us.
Andrew escorted us out to the orphanage. With four giant bags, the man who became our tuk-tuk driver picked us up. We were all nervous and tense. What we would encounter? How bad would it be? How would the children feel?
The orphanage is a state-run orphanage and the children are 6 to 19 years old. The state cannot afford to fund all the things that the children are in need of. They pay for the school, some of the buildings and ensure that children receive rice and cabbage soup each weekday. Anything else, they cannot afford to finance. The funds Andrew collects and self-help finances everything else. For example he buys eggs, meat, bread, bananas, fruits, mattresses, mosquito nets and renovates old buildings and builds new ones.
The orphanage is located in a large area. It consists of several dormitories, school buildings, dining room, kitchen, computer room and toilet buildings. In the middle is a large soccer field and basketball court. It is a very peaceful place. The children are calm and quiet. We were, for example, in the dining room where 300 children were served food. The sound level was pleasant. No loud voices or screams. For those of us with children of their own, it felt like the room could consist of up to 50 children. You could definitely hear what you were thinking. The children were served a large portion of rice, several shaped into a ball, and cabbage and meat soup. Before Andrew's time they had no meat, only a cabbage soup. Two chefs, who together with some of the older children do all of the cooking during the week, prepare food. On weekends, only rice is served. They get some money (equivalent to 30 cents USD) to buy additional food for the weekend. All around small fires are lit, where they cook their food. The older children tend to help the younger.
We were all amazed by how good life is at the orphanage. Coming to this orphanage is for many children their only way out of starvation. This came as a big surprise to us, believing that an orphanage is not usually a place where children actually want to live.
After getting a proper tour of the orphanage by Andrew, we distributed clothing and toys given to us by friends and loved ones in Singapore. The children grouped themselves in an exemplary straight line and waited quietly for their turn. It was a fantastic and thought provoking experience. The children were grateful for whatever they got, and there were no thoughts of injustice. The children were simply happy. We were anxious about equal distribution, however Andrew explained that it was not a problem, as in Buddhism you are grateful for what you get.
It was partly with eased hearts that we left the orphanage. It was great to see that their life is pretty good. They take on great responsibility, despite their young age. Life here is better for many children than in their home villages. Tomorrow awaits a visit to the village, Ban Phou Sarng, 2 km outside of Luang Prabang.
After today's orphanage visit, we spent the afternoon and evening, with some sightseeing. We watched the sunset from the That Chomsi temple atop Phousi hill. It was a magnificent view over the Mekong River, albeit a little crowded with other tourists in the way. Then we took a walk in the quiet and peaceful town. Luang Prabang, with its two-story houses is a very charming city. A city that is not similar to any other place we have been. Between the houses are a variety of Buddhist temples. Monks walk barefoot around the city and can almost be seen on every street corner. The mood and tempo is calm and pleasant. No one raises his or her voice. According to the guidebook you can shock a Laotian if you talk too loud. Nobody goes fast. It had a great impact on us, after just a couple of hours we were also calm. Or at least calmer than usual..
Saturday 12 November 2011
Early start. It was not even light outside. We had decided to see "the wandering monk", the walk the Buddhist monks do in the town in the morning, to collect food for the day. The city's residents go out en masse to give the monks rice and bananas. The diet did not look to have any variation, but the monks seemed pleased. We borrowed bikes at the hotel and rode up. It was cosy. A woman who sold food for the monks to us stopped us and soon we sat there and fed the monks. It was a nice and harmonious experience. Then it was back to our hotel and breakfast. It is lovely with Laos that it is an old French colony. French breakfast is amazing.
And so it was time to go out to the village which Noy comes from, Ban Phou Sarng. Noy is an eight-year-old girl that Andrew came in contact with during spring 2011. Noy has two younger siblings, a sister of five years, Souk and a younger brother of 1.5 years. Their father died a long time ago and their mother had fled the field two months ago when Andrew met her. Noy took care of their siblings and did her best to put together food for all of them. The village is extremely poor. It hangs on a litter wall. During the rainy season the lower part of the village is full of mud. Diseases spread quickly. The clay is now cured, so the ground is rock hard.
We met La, Andrew's assistant, as she was teaching the village children English. She does this every Saturday. After teaching, she gives all the children an apple each. For most children it is their only fruit per week. The village is as I say poor, and most live on farms. Rice and various cabbage dishes are the most common forms of food. Vinegar-soaked bamboo is one of the more common dishes.
Andrew has sponsored a woman with a "paper factory". We went there and were surprised when this plant was found to be outside and the woman also lived in the factory. She sat on a mat under the roof and tied her notebooks. The paper she made in small boxes outside. We realized we had a lot of western frames of reference, given what we thought we knew about how a factory appears.
Noy is on a visit in the village. It is two months of school holiday and all students at the orphanage have been asked to go home. If they can. Noy and her sister chose to go home. When we climb around in the village we find Noy sneaking around. She wants to talk to La and says that she and her siblings have not eaten for several days. Her mother has disappeared again, and her aunt and grandmother who were supposed to take care of the siblings have chosen to swap the children's food for beer. Noy's eyes seem as if they have been turned off. Just black and empty. You cannot interpret anything in them. Neither sorrow n
or pain. This little girl has already suffered so much misery, and has taken so much responsibility. It is senseless. We go to the nearest shop, a small shed located in the village and buy ten kilograms of rice and eggs and noodles to Noy and her siblings. With La's help, we make a deal that Noy can pick up a little every day and that the grandmother and aunt will not be able to exchange the food for beer. But who knows if it will work. We can only hope it does not happen.
When we later talk to Andrew about Noy and her fate, he explains that if she had not moved to the orphanage, she would probably, at an age of twelve or thirteen years be pregnant with her first child. The probability that she would reach 30 years is minimal. Mainly because they give birth at home and those who help delivering the babies don't have any education. Now, thanks to the orphanage, she will not get pregnant until 19 and the probability that she ages past 30 years is much greater than if she stayed in the village.
In the afternoon we went back to the orphanage and it was great fun. The children were not as reserved as they were the previous day. They were more accessible. Several of them wore the clothes that we have given them the day before. It was a bit odd to see the "Swedish Cowboy" sliding around and a little guy in a "fit t-shirt". A barbie doll, that the day before had tousled hair, was now carefully combed and fine. Imagine how excited they were with their new things.
On today's agenda was popcorn popping. Most of the children had not eaten popcorn in the past. We had brought popcorn from Singapore and bought pots and oil in Luang Prabang. The children helped us to light two fires, and then it was just to get started. During the next hour we popped a lot of popcorn. It was popular and appreciated and there was much laughter and giggling around the fire. They thought it was hilarious when we lifted the lid and a lot of popcorn flew out. After a while, several of the teachers and the older children took over. They were clearly better than us at dealing with cooking over an open fire.
We hung out with teachers and watched when they were practicing with some of the children a dance for a coming national school competition. They practiced patiently. After some time we got tired and Kristina managed to pick up a guy to play football with. This resulted in a football game, together for charity against all the boys. After some time they began to switch over to our team. Perhaps they felt that they wanted to help the ladies. It was great fun, and to everyone's delight no bones were broken. I must admit I was worried that this would happen.
It was sad, to say goodbye. We have really come to like this place. The atmosphere is pleasant and quiet. The spirit of fellowship is nice. That we will go back is certain. The only question is when?

Let me start off by making one thing ABSOLUTELY clear. I LOVE GRAM PARSONS. It changed my life hearing his music. I had no idea growing up in South Alabama listening to the Grand Ole Opry (with my Grandfather in the warehouse the housed his peanut pickers and tractors) on Saturday nights, that "Country Music" could be so hip. It was through Gram's solo records and the landmark Sweetheart of the Rodeo LP with the Byrds that I reconnected with my love of the music of my childhood. HOWEVER…there is one thing I cannot stand, and that is when some 20-something who heard Gram 6 months ago (via a Ryan Adams cover more than likely) lays down their angular noise driven indie-rock and starts playing "Country Music." I'm sorry. I call bull-shit! I think you should be given quiz on the entire history of Country Music before being allowed to play (it would help eliminate 99% of the crap on mainstream Country Radio too, for that matter). I don't believe you can truly love the genre without embracing some of it's well-written cheesy moments & mistakes, at least the heartfelt ones. I think you should have to sing 3 or 4 "non-cool country tunes" from 1960-1992 because you love them for entrance into the building. For Example: "Straight Tequila Night" by John Anderson, "Love in the First Degree" by Alabama, "Amarillo by Morning" by George Strait, and "Tight Fittin' Jeans" by Conway Twitty.
When I heard Cale Tyson's name the first time, someone was drawing that lazy comparison to Parsons that any left of center country act gets. SEE ABOVE: I was skeptical. I dug a little deeper and found out he was a (Does) Fort Worth (ever cross your mind) guy. And yes, his bio mentions him hearing Gram, Guy, and Townes at an early age, but upon hearing his EP High on Lonesome I wasn't hearing some bastardized version of "Cosmic American" Country. I heard something you don't often hear outside of George Jones, George Strait, and Merle Haggard to name but a few. I heard the true ingredient for Hard Core Honky Tonk music. That only happens when someone can take "Country" and actually add "Western" to it. The danger of whole hearted Parson's worship is taking it away from the cheap, cold, domestic beer saloon and dressing it up for a wine and cheese dinner party. Country needs to be intellectual but it also needs dirt under it's finger nails. You need a little "Hee-Haw" in it. Otherwise, it runs the risk of being too smart and too ironic for it's own good. Cale's EP avoids that trap with a commitment to honoring country's historic songbook. Plenty of nods to Hank's "Honky Tonk Blues," but also Ernest Tubb's "Walkin' the Floor," the late/great King of Broken Hearts (George Jones), up to Hag's "Lonesome Fugitive," as well as couple nods to the New Trads of the 1980's. Tyson has done is homework.
But Book knowledge can only take you so far. My wife (a TN native, but who's reluctantly begun loving Country Music through me subjecting her to it on road trips) and I drug ourselves out on a school night to catch his release show. Cale's band was right up there with Emmylou's Hot-Band, a batch of crack pickers that included Robert Ellis on guitar no less. On "Dreams Don't Come True" – she turn to me and says, "This touches something in my muscle memory. It's like a stick of butter melting in a cast iron skillet. I feel like I need to make some cornbread." Well done, Cale Tyson. Well done indeed.

We Miss Artie wins Spiral Stakes, but …Mar 22nd, 2014 | By TrackSide View | Category: Handicapping
Ron Correll
Senior columnist
(Updated 3-23-14)
You must take a close look at We Miss Artie after his win in the Spiral Stakes Saturday at Turfway Park in northern Kentucky. Although I think he is a pure synthetic and turf horse, it seems that colts that run well on the Polytrack at Turfway and Keeneland seem to do well on the dirt at Churchill Downs.
I don't like the horse at all as a pure dirt horse, but you must be forewarned about how you use him in betting on Derby day.
The son of Artie Schiller has 60 points for the Kentucky Derby and is guaranteed a spot in the starting gate. He also could run in the American Turf at Churchill on Derby day or he could head north and run in the Queen's Plate at Woodbine in Canada. It just depends on which one he has the better chances of winning. Of course, "Derby Fever" by his owners could make all that mute. He is owned by Ken and Sarah Ramsey. Enough said.
The minor awards in the Spiral went to Harry's Holiday (20) (he's not Triple Crown nominated), Coastline (10) and Asserting Bear (5)
I will list the number of points each horse has behind their names.
Cairo Prince (14) is by Pioneerof the Nile and dominated the Grade 2 Holy Bull and stays here until another colt really impresses me. He will wait until the Florida Derby.
California Chrome (50) is by Lucky Pulpit and destroyed the field in the San Felipe. The race was first run in 1952 and California Chrome's winning time of 1:40.59 was the second fastest in the history of the race. All he has to do is get to Kentucky and I think he'll surprise a lot of people.
Social Inclusion (0) is by Pioneerof the Nile and made Honor Code look average in an allowance race March 12 at Gulfstream Park. Colt headed to Wood Memorial.
Intense Holiday (53) is by Harlan's Holiday and he won the Risen Star and this maybe Pletcher's Derby horse.
Samraat (60) is by Noble Causeway and fought gallantly to win the Gotham. Wood Memorial likely next.
Hoppertunity (55) is by Any Given Saturday and won the Rebel on March 15.
Tapiture (42) is by Tapit and was second in the Rebel after a rough stretch run.
We Miss Artie (60) is by Artie Schiller and won the Spiral at Turfway Park.
Ride On Curlin (15) is by Curlin and was third in the Rebel, a half-length behind the winner.
Wildcat Red (50) is by D'Wildcat and he won the Fountain of Youth but I don't think he wants to go farther.
General a Rod (20) is by Roman Ruler and he could not run down Wildcat Red in the Fountain of Youth.
Albano (24) is by Istan and was second in the Risen Star. He too may have distant limitations.
Uncle Sigh (24) is by Indian Charlie and lost the Gotham by a neck. Wood is next.
In Trouble (10) is by Tiz Wonderful and was another neck back in third in the Gotham. Wood is next.
Ring Weekend (50) is by Tapit and won the Tampa Bay Derby.
Vicar's in Trouble (20) is by Into Mischief and he was third in the Risen Star. Jury still out.
Honor Code (14) is by AP Indy and was second in an allowance race on March 12 at Gulfstream. He looked like he had been off for several months.
Rise Up (10) is by Rockport Harbor and had a terrible start in the Risen Star, rushed up and was rank. He did himself in. He gets one more chance.
Tamarando (12) is by Bertrando and ran poorly in the Spiral Stakes.
Midnight Hawk (32) is by Midnight Lute and was second in the San Felipe.
Candy Boy (10) is by Candy Ride and the Santa Anita Derby is next.
Noble Moon (10) is by Malibu Moon.
Havana (14) is by Dunkirk was scratched from Swale with quarter crack. I think this guy is off the Derby Trail. No official announcement.
The rest can be in any order:
Ami's Holiday (10), Strong Mandate (11), Casiguapo (5), Classic Giacnroll (5), East Hall (5), Conquest Titan (9), Smarty's Echo (4), Bayern and Vinceremos (30). Bond Holder (11) is by Mineshaft and has laminitis.

Publisher's Summary
When he applied for the job in Nancarrow Mining's corporate security division, Jack had hoped for peaceful days repelling cyber-attacks. Maybe a bit of corporate espionage on the side. His plans didn't include rescuing abused children, hunting pimps, or dealing with his overly protective and hot-as-hell boss, Gareth Flynn.
Walking away is not an option. Jack never takes the easy way out. More than that, meeting Gareth raises old ghosts that Jack needs to put to rest. Rescuing kids. Taking risks. Saving the day. Jack can do all that - but deciding what to do about his attraction to Gareth isn't the sort of cloak-and-dagger game Jack plays well. Yet Gareth, strong and smart and always on hand when needed, might be Jack's salvation.

Intense and gripping.
Narration: If it weren't for the long pauses between section breaks (audio editing stylistic I think) I'd have said this was a perfect narration. Fox Ballard beautifully voiced all the characters, and this book has quite a few important secondary characters so you can't get away with a job-lot voice for them. My only quibble was that the audio had too long pauses between what are the sectional breaks in the written book... I suspect an editing stylistic choice and shoŕtening those would be that last piece required for me to rate this 5 stars across the board.
For the story: Given the subject matter I should not have been able to read this, let alone read it in one sitting. The writing is gritty, intense, and poignant. Jack and Gareth are amazing.
I will warn any that the plot covers pedophilia and the selling of young boys. This is not a story of fluffy bunnies and butterflies but the subject matter is treated (at least in my opinion) with a high degree of tact; this is not written to titilate but does not ignore the subject matter nor gloss over it.
I like that Jack is also smart in a way that I understand. He's believeable as a man with mad skills.
I'm off to read the sequel.

Great Start to a new series
I did enjoy the story, thought at times it was a little bit confusing as there are several story lines running at the same time, but that's okay I finally got things straightened in my head & was able to get settled into it. I really liked the narrators voice & enjoyed the difference voices so that I was keep everyone straight. What I didn't like about the narrator was the odd pauses for not good reason, that I could figure out. I can't wait to read/listen to the next book.

Don't bother if you're British
Could be a good story with some work, poor continuation and research and really needs a narrator who knows how to pronounce the names of major landmarks.

Entertaining story!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Well - the book's terribly researched; if you're looking for an even vaguely feasible depiction of police or undercover work then don't go here!
The story however is entertaining and the depiction of the relationship is engaging enough.
What three words best describe Fox Ballard's voice?
I like the voices done by Fox Ballard and he does a half convincing London east-end accent – although the dropped consonants are over the top and just sounds sloppy. There's no excuse however even for an American not to know how to pronounce "The Thames" or "Twickenham" – it's cringing every time you hear "The'Ames" and "TwickenHAM" ! Why isn't this covered in the preparation?

Your truck cannot operate properly without a healthy, functioning battery beneath the hood. In order to ensure that the battery sustains a full charge and remains useful, you must perform regular maintenance. A poorly maintained battery will repeatedly lose its charge, which leads to corrosion and deterioration within the battery. This inevitably will result in the need for a new battery.
1.) Open the hood and locate the battery after making certain all switches and accessories in the truck have been turned off. When accessing the battery, you might have to remove some plastic guards or battery covers, depending on the model of your truck. Be sure to put on some gloves before working on the battery.
2.) Disconnect both terminals from the truck battery, starting with the negative terminal. Most terminals can be disconnected by using a basic wrench to loosen the clamps that are affixed to the battery posts. Once the clamps have been loosened, pull straight up on the terminals to remove them; do not twist the terminals.
3.) Brush the battery posts and terminals with a terminal and post brush. If you don't own one, a simple wire brush will work. Persist with brushing until the posts and terminals are free of corrosion.
4.) Clean the top and sides of the battery. Use a mixture of baking soda and water as a cleaning solution. Mix about two tablespoons of baking soda per pint of water. Pour some of the solution onto the battery and scrub with an old rag. You can also use the solution to clean the terminals and battery posts. Rinse the entire battery, posts and terminals with clean water after you've finished. Then dry the battery with a rag.
5.) Check the electrolyte level if your truck has a traditional flooded battery. Remove the caps on top of the battery and look inside. Add distilled water if the level is low. The fluid should rise to the top of the vent walls within the battery. Avoid overfilling the battery. If your truck battery is maintenance-free, you cannot add electrolytes.
6.) Coat the posts of the truck battery with petroleum jelly, which will prevent corrosion. Reattach the terminals, beginning with the positive terminal. Tighten the terminals on the posts; loose terminals will lead to poor performance and corrosion.
7.) Recharge the truck battery if it is low. Make sure you use a 12-volt battery charger. A slow charge at a low-amp setting will ensure a more complete charge for the battery.
8.) Check your truck's battery every three or four months. If the battery is dirty or corroded, clean it. Also, if the battery dies or loses its charge, be sure to recharge it. Do not allow it to remain drained for long periods of time, as it could result in greater corrosion.

I have. Actually, I am there with you right now this very minute.
Ever since I've been home from my travel this summer I feel like every.single.day has been Monday, full of opportunity and expectations and long to do lists.
Laundry piles, hungry kids, dirty kitchen counters and floors that look like a heard of elephants trucked through are constantly in my line of vision and I am beating my head against the wall trying to make them go away. Well not the actual kids, okay maybe them too...You know Mamma's, you know...
Yep. It's pretty much a disaster around here.
Chaos at it's finest.
My poor husband.....
The moment that I was picked up from the airport by my precious ones and taken straight to the football field was defiantly foreshadowing of things to come.
This post has no real purpose other than to encourage you today that you are not alone if you are feeling crazy, or behind or like your to do list is never, ever going to get all checked off.
It will.
And honestly, some things on it need to die. Some of those expectations of perfection need to fall right away and go unnoticed.
I've been purposefully taking time to be still first thing in the am after I get my little's off to school. I have declared Monday my Sabbath because I work all weekend and need some sort of super power to turn off my brain.
It's dang near killed me knowing what all has to be done, but I need it and I bet you do too! If God rested I am pretty sure that's a given for me too. It's now my sacred space and in it I don't even care that all that stuff is waiting.
The list will wait, the kids won't starve or suffer from eating cereal for dinner and lets' be real, they have never noticed a speck of dirt on the floor, ever in their crazy little lives. Soon and very soon not only will we master our lists together but I pray we will have more of the clarity to see what needs to be taken off of them permanently so that we can live fully.... freely.
A small reminder for us to all just take time to inhale deep, release and give ourselves some grace!
Happy FRIDAY Y'ALL!!

By Vladimir Soldatkin and Andrew Osborn MOSCOW (Reuters) – Vladimir Putin praised U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Friday, saying he had his finger on the pulse of U.S. society, and launched a scathing attack on the Democrats, saying they had forgotten the meaning of their own name and were sore losers. Speaking at his annual news conference in Moscow, Russia's president said that only Russia had believed that Trump would become the next president of the United States, but that did not mean the Democrats had the right to blame him for their defeat. "The current administration and the leadership of the Democratic Party are trying to blame all their failures on external factors," Putin told reporters.

I just returned from a six-month follow-up mammogram -- which was prescribed in January, after I had a second set of images taken when doctors found some calcifications in my right breast during my routine screening last November. (Blog entries "Update: My right breast" Jan. 17, and "Gulp, and whoa!" Nov. 8). The radiologist wanted to see whether there were any significant changes since the January session. But, apparently, everything looked good today -- i.e., no change. So, I got the OK to proceed with my regular yearly screening in six months or so.
Back in November, the doctor had originally wanted to perform a biopsy after seeing the irregularities on those images; but I fought that idea, and they agreed to let me go for a second opinion (hence the January tests).
For these last two sets of tests, I used another provider -- a Woman's Health Center -- and I must admit I like it there much better. They seem to "get it." They take the time to allay your fears, answer any questions, etc.
So, I'll be using them for my mammos from now on.
And in the meantime, I'll continue to do the things I started doing back in November, such as keeping up my exercise and healthy lifestyle, plus staying on my regimen of vitamin and herb pills -- based on research about which natural supplements seem to be beneficial for breast health. These include a super-antioxidant formula (vitamins A, C, E, B-2, B-6 and several minerals); vitamin D (which helps the body metabolize calcium); cat's claw; and cranberry (which as a bonus also helps with fluid retention and kidney health).

Google Reportedly Planning Online Storage ServiceNovember 27th, 2007 - 11:27 pm ICT by admin
Google, whose stated mission is to organize the world's information, is reportedly developing an integrated service that would allow users to store and organize their own information on Google's servers.
According to a report in Tuesday's Wall Street Journal, users of the service could store any and all of the files currently on their computer's hard drive, from business letters to family photos, and then access or share them from any computer or mobile device.
Google has declined to comment on the report.
Free Storage, More for Fee
The as-yet-unnamed service would allow some free storage, with additional storage levels available at different, as-yet-unannounced fee levels. The Journal said that, internally, the service was known at one point as "My Stuff."
Such an online storage service would join a growing array of vendors, such as IBackup, Xdrive, and eSnips. Many larger companies, such as Yahoo and Microsoft, also offer Web-based storage. Google itself is a veteran of the online storage industry. Its Web-based tools, such as Picasa, Gmail, and Docs, already provide free storage and additional levels of paid storage.
The Journal said that while Google's current online storage can be shared between Gmail and Picasa accounts, and soon with Docs, the new service would be more integrated, behaving as just another hard drive, with a single sign-on and a single search.
If the search giant did add such an integrated, virtual hard drive to its suite of services, it would increase its growing momentum as a business alternative to Microsoft, with online office apps, collaboration, and now a virtual storage server.
'As Secure as Your Hard Drive'
For many users, a key concern about online storage is security. Ray Wagner, a Gartner analyst, said that a Google online storage service "could be as secure as your hard drive" — unless you are a power user or…

Maybe it's because it's Friday, but I had to post a comment on a recent memo I received. It really hit home just how out of touch with reality the current banking regulatory environment has become. As a result of a recent Compliance exam finding, we just issued a Corporate-wide Policy on.......drum roll please...... Policies and Procedures. So what's next? A Policy on the Policy about Policies and Procedures? Will the madness never end?

Banking Executives- listen up
I recently came across an article on the Huffington Post by Brett King, consultant and author of the book, Bank 2.0: How Customer Behavior and Technology Will Change the Future of Financial Services. Entitled "The 5 stages of social media grief", he describes the process that many executives go through as they deal (or don't, in many cases) with social media in financial services. I recommend you read it, whether you see the value in social media or not. It's as much about dealing with innovation as it is about social media.
Social media, and the impact on relationships with your customers, is not a fad. It is (as I've said before) just another extension of the Internet channel. As he concludes, start with the customer in mind and the rest will fall into place. It's pretty sound advice.

Some random thoughts and comments
Some random thoughts and comments on a hot and muggy day in Baltimore.............
- Recently had a conversation with an industry analyst about social media. She commented that many banks have avoided social media activity until they have an exit strategy. Huh? Did you have an exit strategy when you started your corporate website or built online banking? Social media is an extension of, not separate from, your activities through the web. No more, no less.
- I've been really impressed with the way Jesse Torres, CEO of Pan American Bank uses social media. Their Facebook page provides lots of information about their activities in and around their community. He isn't afraid of getting involved in controversy either, as you can see from this post on the blog LA Eastside.
- I came across a blog post focusing on a Twitter marketing strategy to bankers. I've found Twitter to be a great way to connect with others in the industry, stay up to date on trends, and generally stay informed. The people/brands I follow offer relevant information from both themselves and others. If all I see is a constant stream of self serving tweets, I' m not following you.
- Speaking of people in the industry, Ron Shevlin of the Aite Group is one worth following. He has some terrific insights and perspectives (and the occasional rant) on his blog Marketing Tea Party. Plus, he's attended over 75 Dead concerts over the years, which makes him a rock star in my book.

Oklahoma Business Owner Attendee at International Womenĺs Forum in Stockholm(September 13, 2017)
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (PRWEB) September 13, 2017
The International Women's Forum held its 15th annual Cornerstone Conference on May 17-19, 2017. This year's theme, ôA More Sustainable World: Movements & Markets," explored topics on sustainability: environmental, social and political, as well as the consequences of nationalism and populism, migration, and cybersecurity.
The conferences are comprised of a unique assembly of women leaders from around the world that bring together their knowledge, power and perspective of the global market and issues. The Conferences are held every year in regions and markets critical to the future.
Murray, who has attended several IWF conferences said, ôThe continuing education that IWF provides me from a global perspective is such an enriching and unique opportunity. I don't know of another opportunity in which I could learn so much in such a short time. The speakers are amazing and we often hear both sides of a controversial issue. When it is showcased and hosted by a country I know little about, it makes the experience much deeper."
Murray went on to say, ôI loved reconnecting with the friends I have met from IWF. I can now say that I am proud to have friends who have accomplished so much and are from all over the world. I feel quite honored to be a part of this organization."
Superintendent, CEO and founder of ASTEC Charter Schools in Oklahoma City, OK, Dr. Freda Deskin was also an attendee at Cornerstone Conference. ôInteracting and sharing with accomplished women from different countries and cultures gives me a different perspective of the world that I can share with the teachers and students at our school. Being in another country, experiencing their culture first hand brings a greater appreciation of the positive uniqueness of each country," says Dr. Deskin.
Deskin and Murray were accompanied by fellow Oklahomans Anne Felton, CEO of Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity, Nancy Hyde, CEO and Chair of Hyde & Company CPA's and Lou Kerr, President of the Kerr Foundation, Inc. and founder of the Oklahoma International Women's Forum chapter.
Kerr has been a long time dedicated member to the local community, as well as a contributing member to the global and international organizations she is a part of. As a strong believer in the advancement of business and leadership opportunities for women, Kerr has made a name for herself as a champion, and heroine, among business leaders across the globe. Kerr currently sits as President and Chair of the Kerr Foundation, Inc. and resides on the board of directors for several organizations, including NPR, National Academy of Public Administration, National Symphony Orchestra, Women's Presidents Organization, and International Women's Forum.
Next year's IWF Cornerstone Conference will be held in Melbourne, Australia.

No. 5 Connecticut Drops No. 16 Louisville, 3-2 In Double-OT
Sept. 28, 2009
Courtesy of Louisville
Cara Silverman's goal with 3:35 remaining in double overtime gave fifth-ranked Connecticut a 3-2 win over the No. 16 University of Louisville field hockey team. The Huskies improve to 9-0 (2-0 BIG EAST) while the Cards drop to 5-4 (0-2).
The teams played through 30 scoreless minutes before the Huskies broke through on Allison Angulo's goal with under four minute remaining in the first half. UConn entered halftime with the 1-0 after outshooting the Cards 10-0 and holding a 4-1 lead in penalty corners.
Melissa Gonzalez added to the Huskies' lead with a goal at the 51:37 mark.
The Cards responded four minutes later, as sophomore Hayley Turner registered her team-leading seventh goal of the season when she connected on a feed from junior Tuli Lim to cut the lead to 2-1.
With just under seven minutes remaining in overtime, Louisville capitalized on a penalty corner to tie the game when junior Karah Nall notched her third goal of the season with assist from Turner and junior Nicole Youman.
The score remained tied at 2-2 through the rest of regulation with UConn holding a 10-8 edge in shots and Louisville leading 5-3 in penalty corners.
In the first of two 15 minute sudden-victory overtime periods, the Huskies outshot the Cards 6-4 and the Louisville held a 2-1 edged in corners, but the score remained knotted at 2-2.
The game entered a second 15 minute overtime period and played through 10 minutes before Silverman connected on a pass from Allison to give the Huskies the 3-2 win.
Louisville goalkeeper senior Heather Bustanoby (5-4) collected 19 saves in the game for the Cardinals. Connecticut outshot the Cards 33-16 and held a 10-9 edge in corners. Andrea Mainiero (9-0) had eight stops for the Huskies.

8 WWE Roadblock observations
We're on the Road to Wrestlemania, which hasn't felt especially more important than any other show. WWE had an opportunity to add some excitement with a new Network special — Roadblock — from Toronto, but played things way too safe to get fans more invested on the journey to Wrestlemania.
Instead of shaking things up, Roadblock was more predictable than usual. If you bet on the favorites, this was one of the rare WWE cards where you could have gone perfect. Doing the expected isn't always a bad idea, but with a less than intriguing Wrestlemania at this point, the WWE needed to deliver something to get fans excited. That's one take, but here's seven other big storylines from Roadblock.
New Day shtick slowly becoming old
New Day is quickly becoming like most non-main event acts that get over organically — WWE writers overextend their segments and make them less cooler versions of what attracted the fans in the first place. At least WWE is milking (no pun intended) New Day for all its worth with the new Booty-O's cereal T-Shirt.
This match seemed to cement New Day's face turn. It's just as well since the fans have been cheering for them for months, but consider how far the stock has fallen on Sheamus and Barrett. Three years ago they seemed like main event fixtures for at least the next decade and now they're a makeshift tag team in a loser faction barely a notch above The Social Outcasts. New Day's win clearly established them as the dominant team in the division. With no competition they haven't already beaten, it seems now is the time for some NXT talent to get brought up to battle them.

Y2J's still got it
To ensure the Toronto crowd didn't cheer its returning Canadian son, Chris Jericho went on a terrific cheap heat rant to turn the fans against him. In this case, the classic heel tactics work best and Jericho has always been a master at manipulating a WWE audience. More impressively than keeping up with AJ Styles was Chris Jericho's performance against Jack Swagger. No one expected Swagger to win, but Jericho gave him enough believable offense that an 'upset' didn't seem so unlikely in a strong back and forth contest. Jericho eventually got the win with the
Boston Crab Walls of Jericho. Swagger is one of those guys on the roster that would really benefit from going somewhere else. He could be a major player in ROH, but I could just as easily see him putting on some great matches in New Japan too.
NXT stars TakeOver early
You've gotta appreciate the scope of NXT's popularity by the response to Enzo & Cass. The crowd chanted along with their ring entrance just like they did in the glory days of The New Age Outlaws. Enzo and Cass fully seized the moment delivering easily their best match on the big stage. It wouldn't be a stretch at all to see them battling The New Day at Wrestlemania they looked so impressive.
The Revival were simply old school tag team goodness. American Alpha seems to be poised to take the NXT titles, but Enzo and Cass' loss may work out in their favor. The main roster's tag team ranks are dull right now beyond The New Day and Enzo & Cass could be just the duo to liven things up.

Natayla shines in spotlight title shot
Charlotte would be more imposing as a heel if she didn't wear those face sparkles. It doesn't fit her heel gimmick. It's a shame the Divas' triple threat is locked in as no one in the Divas division is worth getting added to the Wrestlemania triple threat than Natayla. To further hinder her odds, Natayla dedicated the match to her uncle, Bret Hart, who hopefully is now fully recovered from his bout with prostrate cancer.
Natayla has always been a performer who always shines whenever she's given the opportunity. This was no different and what made this match so good was the longer it went, the less certain it felt that Charlotte was going to retain. I hated the finish of Natayla breaking the Sharpshooter to go after Ric Flair and Charlotte getting the cheap roll-up finish. While she's getting a Wrestlemania title shot, she clearly proved she absolutely cannot be an afterthought in this division any more.
The Wyatts deserve better
Despite the tease of Brock Lesnar vs. Bray Wyatt, we got a bait and switch with Luke Harper being added to the mix, which essentially was a one on one match against Lesnar. The Wyatt Family finally seemed to be getting booked properly in the Royal Rumble build-up even eliminating Lesnar from the Rumble. Predictably since then, the booking has once again let them down starting with the senseless Fastlane loss to the makeshift trio of Big Show, Ryback and Kane.
In a time when the WWE needs strong heels no one was elevated since Seth Rollins went down. The only heel with any momentum remains Triple H and he's the last one that needs to be positioned as unstoppable at this point in his career. With Lesnar going on to fight Dean Ambrose at Wrestlemania, the Wyatts still are left without any opponents for the biggest show of the year.
Taking it to the stars
Continuing the night's underlined theme of the secondary stars of the WWE roster succeeding at proving their value to the company, Stardust had a solid match with Sami Zayn. Roadblock had a distinct feel — frequently looked over roster members battled established/rising stars to provide tune up matches for their big Wrestlemania matches. It was a little weird that Stardust is already being used a stepping stone when Cody Rhodes can offer so much more than being a talented jobber with a fun gimmick.
Roman Reigns has a tough act to follow
I know WWE is bent on making Roman Reigns the modern day MAN of the company, but at this point it's embarrassing that WWE won't just admit Dean Ambrose has the far stronger connection with the fans. Ambrose battled Triple H in a very strong main event that like the rest of the card, suffered from having an even more obvious predetermined outcome than normal. The commentators seemed to go out of their way to sell Triple H as this dominant legacy champion as if he was this valiant face battling a wily, sinister heel. Triple H's Hogan spray tan looked orange-r than usual.
In an interesting move, Ambrose pinned Triple H with Dirty Deeds, but the ref almost immediately restarted the match after realizing Ambrose's feet were under the ropes. That's a move that works if the fans have been educated on that for a long time. Pulling that rarely used rule out in that instance was pretty ridiculous since the refs so rarely enforce any rule these days. Ambrose continued pressing his advantage placing Triple H on the table, but missed an elbow smash. Triple H dragged him back in the ring and hit the Pedigree for the clean win.
I can appreciate not wanting Triple H to look weak going into his Wrestlemania match, but the commentators trying to sell Ambrose's match against Lesnar was hilarious since the clean loss to Triple H kills all of Ambrose's momentum. That said, had this match been the Wrestlemania main event with Ambrose going over, it's hard to see a lot of people complaining. I'm not sure Reigns has this kind of match in him at this point in his career.
Roadblock was a weird Network special in that it got the treatment and fanfare of a big time event, but absolutely nothing of consequence occurred as every match went according to schedule. The title matches were all worth watching from a quality wrestling standpoint, but it lacked that must-see moment. This could have been a perfect time for WWE to shake things up a bit — like Natayla beating Charlotte only to lose the belt on Monday Night RAW — to reinforce that anything can happen on any night feel.
