Website Undergoes a Facelift

If you haven't been here in a while, you might think you've landed someplace else! It was time for a change. This website had been maintained since its inception with Microsoft's Frontpage web editing software. Microsoft is dropping support for it this year. That forced us to look for something else.
We wanted to make this website more of a research portal. There are binders packed full of really interesting history of the cemetery and the City of Niles.
I found a Content Management System called Joomla. Besides having strong support for news articles, it's FREE! That means that more donations can go into the stone restoration efforts instead of buying software.
When setting up the new website, I tried to use as much of the themes from the old one. The grave search and photo gallery are the same. I have a stack of updates to the grave search database. There are thousands of new photos in the gallery.
Come back often! If you have any questions or suggestions, please write.

Some residents of communities on Storm Mountain think the road that cuts through Joe Dion's property offers a lifeline to bring supplies into their communities so they don't have to evacuate.
One problem: If they can make it down the washed-out stretch of terrain that leads to the road and leave Dion's property, they are barred from returning.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife, which has control of the road through Dion's property and opens it to hunters during the year, won't allow them to come back. "It's not safe," said Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman Jennifer Churchill.
Larimer County has also barred those who leave from returning, she said. And on Tuesday, the Forest Service closed portions of the Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest and Pawnee National Grassland that include the road.
"All we are asking for is access to get supplies up here," said Lynette Coffey, 66, of Cedar Park, which sits on the mountain near the Big Thompson Canyon.
In normal times, residents use U.S. 34, now closed because of flood damage, said Andy Hitch, 43, who lives near Masonville and has property on the mountain.
Residents have been collecting bottled water and other supplies and want to bring it to their isolated neighbors, but they can't because of the road closures, he said.
The Forest Service trail could easily be repaired, Hitch said, and residents are upset they can't get back in if they leave. "Just let some people get in there with a couple of shovels and do the work. I don't understand what the problem is," he said.
As many as 40 residents have been working to repair the Forest Service road, actually little more than a trail suitable for all-terrain-vehicles, Coffey said. They are filling washed-out stretches with rocks and dirt, cutting trees and doing the work by hand, Coffey said. "There is no power."
She expects the work to be done in the next day or so. "I plan on staying," said Coffey, whose husband Charles, 71, is ill and was airlifted out along with some other residents Monday. "My big concern is if we leave, where do we live? Are we a burden on society?"
And she is concerned about looting. "I worked all my life to buy my home up here," she said. "Do I leave it for somebody to break in and steal everything I have got?"
While Coffey and others in the isolated communities are a self-sufficient bunch, it will be hard for them to stay in place if they can't get supplies.
Some in the community believe that Dion, 70, is refusing to let anyone who leaves return through his property. "I would let them through if the sheriff was with them because we were told not to let anybody through unless they were escorted," he said.

AMC has just released a new clip for the upcoming second episode of The Walking Dead Season 5, Strangers.
As has become typical with The Walking Dead, a rather tender moment suddenly turns sour when a unknown voice calls out for help. It seems this episode could look at the growing mistrust of the gang (I mean who can blame them after that whole 'Terminus thing'?), although it also seems to show Carl still has some humanity left in him.
But who could be it be? Well, we'll discuss that after the episode. Check out the clip below:
So, who could this unknown voice belong to? Who could have thrown caution to wind and started bellowing for help in a zombie invested area? Well, there's there's a fairly obvious choice, but if you do not want to know, it might be best to stop reading now.
So Whose Voice Was It?
It seems extremely likely that the voice belongs to Father Gabriel, a new character expected to be introduced early into Season 5. Father Gabriel is a character from the original The Walking Dead comics and it could be said - without giving too much away - that although he is a man of God he still harbors some very dark secrets...
Furthermore, there is also speculation that Gabriel could be in league with whomever kidnapped Beth. If you remember, there was a white cross in the back window of the car, and although this isn't definitive proof, it's certainly a lead.
Father Gabriel will be played by Seth Gilliams, another alumni of The Wire as well as Oz and Homeland. He's expected to hang around for much of Season 5 which perhaps gives us an indication of whether or not Rick and Co. save him.
What do you think? Would you trust Father Gabriel?
Should Rick and Co. still trust other survivors?

I was off to go back to work one evening and my twochildren were busy sewing things on the sewingmachine. My eleven year old daughter was, in the midstof her project, going to assist her older brother inmaking a little cushion. I left, and in a few hoursreturned to find a mess in the kitchen, front room,and both children sitting in front of the television.
Having had a long day, I was very short with mygreeting to them and then I noticed the material mydaughter had used. It had been purchased to make acolor coordinated baby blanket, and now had chunks cutout of almost every piece of fabric. Not stopping tolisten, I exploded at the children and explained howangry I was at what had been done.
My daughter listened to me sheepishly, not trying to defend herself at all, but the pain could be seen writtenacross her face. She retreated to her room quietly,and spent some time in there alone before she came outto say good night and once again apologize for themistake she had made.
A few hours later, as I was preparing to go to bed,there on my bed lay a beautiful, litlle cushion madeout of the forbidden fabric, with the words "I LOVEMOM" . Along side it was a note apologizing again, andthe innocence in which she had taken the fabric.
To this day, I still get tears in my eyes when I thinkof how I reacted and still feel the pain of myactions. It was I who then sheepishly went to her andapologized profusely for my actions. I display withgreat pride the cushion on my bed, and use it as aconstant reminder that nothing in this world isgreater than a child's love.

TLS.NET Managed IT for businesses is exploding in growth and client retention, ask to join the program today.
The proliferation of IoT devices for both consumers and business has opened up a new market that's estimated to reach a whopping $661.74 billion by 2021, from $157.05 billion in 2016. Considering the obvious business opportunities, security researchers have expressed concerns regarding the security mechanisms – or lack of – bundled with "smart things".
Because IoT devices are likely to be remotely controllable and available from anywhere around the world, operators are also expected to start preparing for a huge amount of machine-to-machine trafficking, that could raise serious issues if not properly managed, secured, and regulated.
As with every new technology that hasn't been built with security in mind, the risk of cybercriminals developing new threats specifically targeting them is high. We've already seen serious vulnerabilities in IoT devices allowing for complete remote control, and we've seen Trojans specifically built to target smart IoT "things" with the purpose of "enslaving" them into a botnet. Because there are no inherent security mechanism built in, we're seeing the same type of threats being used on PCs 15 years ago targeting smart devices.
Organizations thinking of integrating smart sensors and other IoT devices need to first start designing strong management platforms that allow not only rapid deployment and management, but also security and privacy policies.
Operators constantly emphasize connectivity as their core value proposition but, as security researchers have proven time and time again, that's not enough. Simply networking devices together is not enough, as encryption and strong communication protocols need to be considered as well. Also, operator networks are mostly designed to support local market requirements, while IoT is designed for global networking coverage. This means that operators should probably focus on globally expanding their network connectivity services.
With 5G network standards being brought into focus, operators could also actively participate in designing and developing new IoT standards for machine-to-machine industrial IoT.
Most IoT manufacturers have mainly been interested in rapidly pushing new products to market, focusing on usability or addressing a specific customer need. Security has sometimes been completely disregarded or poorly implemented at best. While debates on building an IoT framework to which manufactures can adhere to have been in the works for some time, little progress has been made towards enforcing security standards.
What's even more worrisome is that some IoT devices don't even have an update mechanism through which security updates and fixes can be pushed to device. If anything, this leaves them exposed to security vulnerabilities throughout their entire lifecycle.
While some companies have begun actively preparing IoT integration strategies and planning for integration, it's still difficult for them to handle all security aspects associated with IoT, especially since there are few build-in in management capabilities. To that end, they're mostly left with options such as isolation and segmentation for limiting potential attack vectors that could compromise their IoT network.
Large businesses and organizations have also begun creating their own internal frameworks for supporting, testing, and managing IoT networks, but it's still unclear if this segregation will offer long-term results.
Depending on the type of network, shared resources, and function, there are various best practices for securing them. Since IoT has yet to adhere to any standards, most organizations' IT administrators opt for isolation. This usually implies that IoT devices are isolated from both critical infrastructure and from the internet, minimizing risks associated with a potential security vulnerability or breach. However, this does not cover the management and integration aspects that allow operators to create quick and cost-effective custom applications and services.
Noting is really "hackerproof" – APTs are a perfect example of that – but security mechanisms can be set in place to minimize the attack surface. To that end, operators need to start working with security vendors and researchers on building a robust IoT framework that can offer privacy, management, security, and connectivity across all smart things around the world.
Standardization comes with the benefit of allowing operators to efficiently build centralized management solutions, while offering across-the-board security for any and all IoT devices. The more things get connected, the greater the risk of having them exposed to threats that may cause irreparable damages to businesses and critical infrastructures.

8 Reasons Why The Electric Car Will Not Be A Success Anytime Soon
Matt Rosoff/Business InsiderThe electric car has been an area of debate in the auto industry for as long as anyone can remember.
On paper, electric motors are fantastic: instant torque, one moving part, and easy maintenance.
But in the real world there are a number of factors that combine to exemplify the weaknesses of the electric vehicle (EV).
Click here to see why >
If EVs were a new technology, we would not be giving them any grief. However, according to PBS the EV will be celebrating its 180th birthday next year and it's simply still not an option for a majority of motorists.
You read that right: the notion of an EV has been around longer than the gasoline automobile and is yet to be adopted with wide acceptance.
In fact, just yesterday Morgan Stanley cut their forecasts for EV penetration in the mainstream market and downgraded shares of electric car maker Tesla motors.
In the last 180 years, there have never been any EVs that can be considered a resounding commercial success. There have been breakthroughs and revolutionary models, even cars that have given hope that electric would soon be the new standard, but none of them have had the desired impact.
General Motors is now on their second round of EV involvement with the Volt. However, lackluster sales numbers and recent fires have created doubt about its viability. And that is not to mention that the Volt is not an EV in the truest sense of the word.
The Volt is an extended-range EV, or EREV. A small gasoline engine recharges the batteries when energy runs low. That hardly works to reduce dependence on gasoline.
And we just want to clarify that we are not discussing hybrids along with EVs. The Toyota Prius and others are successful vehicles, but they still have a heavy reliance on gasoline.
We have been thinking about this at length, and we just do not see the EV becoming a true solution for the masses anytime soon.

Is anybody advertising on Facebook?If you don't mind, can you please share the results? Satisfactory or not?If you know a good Facebook PPC course (used yourself and found helpful), can you post it here.Thanks for your help!
I post most of my hubs there and get little traffic
Not the same thing.He is talking about pay per click advertising. Completely different.And no I haven't used it, but the ads normally look like junk to me.
Not yet. I am waiting for them to include Paypal as a payment processor.Seems you can get 1000 views for around 35 cents so it looks promising.What I like about it, is you can target well known profiles to show your ad on their page.
Clicks or impressions?I have nothing to use PPC for anyway, all of my online stuff is AdSense monetised.I guess that moving towards selling an eBook or something could be worth looking at.
The good thing about Facebook ads is that they are highly targeted. The problem is that Facebook's idea of what your target audience is may not be consistent with your own...

I've had my eye on True Born by L. E. Sterling for a while, and when I finally managed to get my hands on it, I admit that I didn't really know what to expect. I knew what it was about, but that's not the same thing. Before I go on with the review, I do want it to be known that I did enjoy it. The world is interesting and Lucy Fox is a great character, as are her sister and Nolan Storm. But I didn't love it the way I wish I did. There were just too many things that irked me. That's not to say I won't buy the sequel––I will, because I'm invested enough to want to know more about the world and the characters and it is a good book––but I think I will have to lower my expectations a little.
Welcome to Dominion City.
After the great Plague descended, the world population was decimated…and their genetics damaged beyond repair.
The Lasters wait hopelessly for their genes to self-destruct. The Splicers pay for expensive treatments that might prolong their life. The plague-resistant True Borns are as mysterious as they are feared…
And then there's Lucy Fox and her identical twin sister, Margot. After endless tests, no one wants to reveal what they are.
When Margot disappears, a desperate Lucy has no choice but to put her faith in the True Borns, led by the charismatic Nolan Storm and the beautiful but deadly Jared Price. As Lucy and the True Borns set out to rescue her sister, they stumble upon a vast conspiracy stretching from Dominion's street preachers to shady Russian tycoons. But why target the Fox sisters?
As they say in Dominion, it's in the blood.
Though at times the setting was a little unclear to me, I liked the world created by Sterling. It's uniquely divided and distinctive. The class system and history is great. I really liked how different elements of society compared (and clashed), and that the Upper Circle (you can guess what they're about) had more secrets than its polished veneer. There are definitely serpents in that pit, and while it freaked me out, I was glad they didn't shy away from what they were. Though their connections made some scenes hard to stomach, especially what poor Margot was put through early on.
Going back to the class system, I loved how diverse they were––Lasters, Splicers, and True Borns. It was a very interesting mechanic, even though I'm not really sure how some characters fit into the classification. Storm aside (who's supposed to be a mystery), there were a couple characters whose skills I wasn't inherently clear on. Still, it was a diverse system and I really liked learning about it.
I enjoyed Lucy as the main character, and her twin Margot. Both sisters are different and strong in their own right. I felt Lucy was a good lead though I questioned her choices sometimes. Yes she was incredibly stubborn, but I do have to admire her tenacity and her willingness to stand for what she knows. It's not what I as a person agree with, but it was told in such a way that I understood her choices and could respect them. I also love Storm. He's awesome, insanely powerful, and someone I could see myself believing in. I definitely want to know more about him. I'm not too hung up on Jared, however. Sure he's sexy and tough, but I found him to be waaaay too Alpha male and honestly a little creepy. He's very touchy feely––first impressions make a difference, and I was so not impressed with his––and frighteningly unpredictable. I can understand that as a mechanic, but it became too much, especially given that Lucy is obsessed with him. I think this is the first time I've actually hoped for a love triangle in a YA story.
I liked the action scenes though there were some strange jumps I had to read over a couple times. That, and some of the "good guys" seemed a little too homicidal at times. I know what side everyone was on, but (and this is a first for me), I felt that in some instances the violence wasn't needed. Knocking out guards would have been just as effective and would have made me a little more sympathetic to the main characters (I'm specifically looking at you, Jared). That said, some of the monsters Sterling described and created were creepy and I would love to see more of them.
All in all, I'm glad that I gave it a chance and am going to keep going with the series, but I really hope that certain questions get answered, Jared chills out, and we learn more about the world and the fate of the Fox sisters. Again, it's not a bad book at all and like all reviews, this is my opinion. I always encourage people to read books by authors they've never heard of before, and if there's even a small part of you that is curious about True Born, I encourage you to read it. Just because I didn't fall in love with it, doesn't mean you won't.

I guess he was being honest…?
I saw this guy last night at the entrance to WalMart –
(He saw me take a picture of him. If my lip-reading is even remotely accurate, he was a tad bit miffed.)
I saw this guy last night at the entrance to WalMart –
(He saw me take a picture of him. If my lip-reading is even remotely accurate, he was a tad bit miffed.)
Today we are back to school after a fleeting summer break.
So far we have spent the last 3 hours on a Giant! Math! Hissy Fit! brought on when I chirped we would be cutting back on our workbook pages and doing a Fun! Math! Activity! instead.
Last year I found a great (FREE) website with math drills – Math is Fun.
See? SEE? It even says FUN in the name! Don't you wanna have fun, you little turkey butt?
Fun Online Math Drills = Worst Mom EVER. ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME OR SOMETHING?
He actually said he'd rather do flash cards than Math is Fun. (Flashcards which he announced I could make myself. Obviously.)
I mean, come ON.
He also suggested maybe I could find a better, FUNNER math website.
Sure, I'll get right on that.
Which I did, grudgingly.
After sifting through tons of math TWADDLE, which I did not even realize existed, I finally found another terrific math website that he DOES like – even though it's practically THE EXACT SAME as the first one, EXCEPT this one costs EIGHTY DOLLARS A YEAR.
I swear.
It looks like a great site with a HUGE variety of drills from Pre-K – 8th. I told him we'd sign up for a one-month trial to see how we liked it. Because I am a Super!
Sucker! Homeschool Mom!
I even braved my husband's basement lair and emerged victorious with a teeny-tiny mouse that fits his hand perfectly.
It's now 2:00 in the afternoon.
I have not checked anything off my shiny new schedule. It's the first day, and I'm already behind.
And I'm wondering if taking my kids through the liquor store drive-thru would be wrong.
What's that? Oh, sorry.
I mean HOMESCHOOLING IS AWESOME! We sang hymns for one hour this morning, then we baked cakes for the elderly, and this afternoon we will be making dioramas depicting the entire works of Homer! Which we read in the original Greek!
• I got up this morning, excited and ready to make some Red Cabbage Indicator.
Here's the thing. I love science, but I suck at the experiments. The materials lists are nine miles long and I can never get motivated to get the stuff together. Last year, we got completely derailed from Chemistry because I never made the indicator. I even bought 2 cabbages and all they did was rot in the fridge. I've heard this cabbage-boiling process is unpleasant. I don't like things that are unpleasant, yo.
However, I have decided to turn over a new leaf (leaf!), and assemble all the materials for all the experiments before we head back to school next week (Super! Homeschool! Mom!) I even got up early, so I could shred the cabbage and get it soaking while we are at swimming lessons.
But then.
The instructions say I have to use distilled water. Not tap water. Distilled water.
And I am once again derailed.
• The other day, my daughter was racing around nekkid after her bath, and I (naturally) chased her around and threatened to bite her butt. When I scooped her up, she turned serious, wagged her little finger at me and said, "mommy, you can only have the cheeks. You can't have the butt crack."
And then I died laughing.
• Also the other day, I finally broke down and decided to buy new bras. I gotta hike these girls back up where they belong, ifyouknowwhatImean. I shop online if at all possible, and since I knew what I wanted, I went to the Hanes website. While I was there, I saw they had pajama capris! Now, you KNOW my love for capri pants. And jammy capri pants? It's nirvana. I bought a test pair, and loved them so much I bought….well, I bought eleven more pairs.
Lookit, I've never had real pajamas. I usually get through the winter on ratty sweatshirts and longjohns; in the summer, I wear cut-off sweats and a men's white t-shirt.
It's Project Runway over here, people.
Or maybe it's more like What Not To Wear.
Anyway. I love my new, soft, pajama capri pants. That is the point of this story.
It's not that great of a story, though….. I'll try harder.
• Have a good week, peeps! Think kind thoughts about Red Cabbage Indicator.
After scolding my daughter to quit picking at her butt for the last 3 weeks, I finally realized that she was doing it because her underwear were too small.
Yet another Super Mom Moment. Poor thing. So I went to Kohl's and bought her the next size up.
The new ones are too big.
She was wearing a 4, which is too small. The 6's are too big. That is unacceptable because she will still pick at her butt, just for different reasons. And besides, should anyone have to suffer with ill-fitting underwear? That's not necessary. However, there is a gigantic difference between a 4 and a 6, which the clothing people apparently do not realize.
(note: I took a picture of the aforementioned giant size difference, but then thought perhaps posting my daughter's underwear was not the Best Idea Ever.)
There is also a big difference between girls sizes and boys sizes, which I know because
there were all those times there was that one time when all her underwear were dirty and I had to stick her in a pair of her brother's (good gravy, did I just admit that? It's why I buy everyone, like, 25 pairs. Because we are so on top of the laundry around here), and her brother's undies fit just fine. The difference between boys and girls clothing sizes is something I could rant about for hours. It's so aggravating. I shall try to restrain myself.
So now I have this dilemma whether to buy a separate batch of boys underwear for her, hoping somehow to be able to keep them separate, because I may not have many lines, but I will draw one at group underpants; or search high and low and spend a bazillion dollars to find little girl's size 5 underwear.
And while we're on the subject (apparently interminably, poor readers), why do I have to hunt so hard to find underwear that is not emblazoned with Hannah Montana? Or High School Musical? Or SpongeBob (that cretin)?
I googled Little Girls Underwear, with my hands over my eyes, a little apprehensive about what sort of results that combination of words would yield.
Per the internets suggestion, I took myself off to Old Navy, armed with my wallet, iPhone, and a purse stuffed with representative panties that are too big/too small.
That's right, gentle readers. I am the lady in Old Navy surreptitiously opening little packets of impossibly tiny underpants and holding them up against other underpants that I fished out of my purse.
I am a class act, people.
In the end, I decided against the girls extra-small bikinis that would probably fit her, because I have an aversion to putting my 4 year old baby into bikinis. She's four! I might be willing to go with a hipster or slightly low-rise brief, but not a bikini. I swear, the day I see thong underwear in the little girl department, I will have an aneurysm.
I found some non-bikini undies in the toddler department and they fit just fine.
And that concludes this endlessly fascinating foray into underpants shopping.
Or maybe it was just endless.
Ah, well. They can't all be winners.

The fall caribou hunt for the Tlicho is cancelled this year because there are no caribou to hunt.
Behchoko resident William Mantla said that they didn't see any caribou during a scouting trip this past Sunday, so the band council decided to cancel the annual hunt. It's the first time that's happened.
"I don't feel bad," Mantla says. "It just depends on the caribou. We were going to go hunting over there but caribou, we don't know where they went or where they are."
Mantla says the scouting party didn't spot a single caribou. He says hunters will now have to wait until December or January to go caribou hunting.

Let's look at how welfare and transport work is already being done by robots. Does Technology pose a threat for humans?
A few years ago, we might have started this article wondering if technology could substitute a person doing a job. Nowadays, we don't even need to ask: it's already happening! Let's look at some examples…
Humanoids caring for old people
In Japanese geriatric facilities robots are already being used as an experimental way of looking after the elderly. They look like a small person (they are about 50 centimetres tall, with legs and arms), provide companionship and help the elderly person live independently and safely: they check that the door is locked properly; they make sure you don't forget your wallet/your keys; and that you take your medicine. In cases of senile dementia, it means that the patient can be monitored constantly without the emotional and physical strain that this may entail. According to several studies around 80% of care providers of an elderly family member suffer from stress and anxiety.
Experimenting with robotic systems in the field of geriatrics is the answer to the potential problems foreseen in the long-term. In 2050, around 20% of the world population will be made up of elderly adults (the over 65-year-old population is already at around 25% in Japan) and it seems that there won't be enough trained professionals to meet the demand in this field.
Android nurses
Additionally in Japan, where there are robot sales assistants, receptionists and cleaners, they are also using android nurses in hospitals. As of right now they are not substituting flesh-and-blood nurses and are basically doing patient support work such as holding the patient for a medical test or treatment. There is a general rejection within the Japanese society when it comes to putting their life into the hands of intelligent systems (after seeing the film, "I – Robot", I think I'd feel the same) but the need is based, yet again, on the lack of professionals.
Where's the taxi-driver?
It seems that Google is mulling over the idea of designing robot-taxis that drive themselves. They did a study in 2012 to see what cities were the most ideal for carrying out pilot tests and New York was one of the top favourites: It's the US city with the highest number of taxis and is already a pioneer in putting electric taxis into practice. According to the Google plan, the robot-taxis would have a human companion at first to give the passenger a sense of security, but they would eventually work alone.
This has to stop – or does it?
We don't want you to panic after reading this. At JobisJob we're fans of technology and in fact without it, it wouldn't be possible for you to see job offers from all over the world with just one click! We don't think that there is any turning back; the discovery of fire, the wheel, steam, internet… Each of these inventions have been stepping stones used to elevate our society, who's main challenge has been the ability to adapt to changes and channel these advances in order to benefit the people.
Let the machines do the work and we'll reap the harvest! The greatest potential of technology – although it has a very high day-to-day cost – lies in its huge capacity to make all kinds of ideas a reality. But it is clear that a new productive system is necessary so that its integration into the mechanism of society is neither traumatic nor exclusive. The British economist, J. Keynes, father of modern macro-economics, said that – at this stage – we should be working 15 hours a week and enjoying a much higher standard of living. Yes, he was wrong – but that should be the job of technology! Workers should not be eliminated, instead there should be new scenarios where the most arduous, monotonous and superhuman work is done by machines, leaving the human being in charge of creating, exploring and learning (Long gone will be the days when you hear your boss say: "I don't pay you to think")
When any jobs are lost, the employment market automatically presents new opportunities and needs. Governments need to make sure that emerging technologies are within everyone's reach and we are offered the training and know-how in order to compete in the new labour and financial markets that are on the horizon. This way we'll be able to reap the benefits as well. And we must be very demanding about that!
Technology isn't going to drive us mad – We'd be mad if we didn't take advantage of its potential!Little Robot by Seemann

In a crop field cull, how do the knives of judgment distinguish saint from sinner? One of the current roadblocks to commercialization of robotic technology for tasks such as weed control is the ability of a machine to recognize crops growing among weeds in a natural environment. The solution may be found in the advent of novel fluorescent marker technology. Essentially, a robot asks questions and a plant responds with its precise location. It all happens with light.
The key concept of a seminal project led by Professor David Slaughter, UC Davis, Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering, is to allow for direct signaling – making it easier for a computer system to identify which plant parts belong to crops and which to weeds. Slaughter has a large team working on the project, including researchers at the University of Arizona, Washington State University, UC Davis, and Aginnovation — a corporate partner and founding member of the Centor Group, a global seed technology alliance of companies. Aginnovation has a proprietary seed technology, distinct from genetic engineering, which was developed for lettuce crops as an identifying marker that is safe on seed.
Crop Conversation
A fluorescent systemic marker is applied onto seeds through a seed treatment, seed coating or seed encrusting/pelleting and as it germinates, the systemic nature of the marker is drawn through the plant and extends to the foliage. The plant takes on a unique fluorescent appearance. When the plant is stimulated with a special color of light, it emits a fluorescent color. Essentially, it acts like a signal – a conversation.
The technology isn't restricted to a particular crop type. Slaughter's work is funded through USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture program for specialty crops, and research is currently focused on vegetables, but the concept has cross-application in non-vegetable crops. "Historically, we're thinking of a vehicle like a spray thinner in lettuce or our existing mechanical hoe systems pulled by a tractor – similar to pulling a planter," Slaughter describes. "However, there's nothing preventing these vehicles from becoming autonomous and able to move under their own propulsion."
He hopes to have a prototype ready within two years, and a commercial product within five to 10 years. The current bottleneck involves identifying crops from weeds with a high degree of accuracy and doing so at a commercially viable speed, according to Slaughter. "Currently, the California lettuce industry uses commercial spray thinners with machine vision."
Track & Trace
The fluorescent marker technology is part of Aginnovation's Track & Trace Systemic Marking product line. The systemic markers were initially designed for anti-counterfeiting use by seed companies. "Fluorescence in the plant tissue can be observed like a glow-in-the-dark object through special optics under Slaughter's design," says Peter Marks, general manager of Aginnovation. "The systemic marker in the plant must be excited with a certain wavelength of light detected by a robotic machine. You can't see the marker with the naked eye. By utilizing optics, we look for that particular marker and a given plant is noted for keeping, eliminating or maybe counting."
The options for use of the technology have developed into a raft of possibilities: mechanical thinning, weeding, plot management, plant populations, and much more. Aginnovation is currently evaluating how long the systemic marker effects will last within different species. Presently, fluorescence lasts into the early stages of crop development. Aginnovation has only worked with vegetables, but plans to extend the technology into corn, cotton and soybeans.
Robotics is already utilized each day by growers. Agriculture has gone from rudimentary planters to sophisticated GPS planters that monitor every seed going into the ground — all based upon robotics. Sophisticated spraying systems and seed treatment equipment are also all robotics-based applications. "Every day, more sophisticated technology is becoming a larger feature of agriculture. A progression of agriculture is to take a natural fit like robotics and expand it into the crop and into the ground," Marks says. "Systemic marker technology is a unique application to drive efficiency in agriculture in ways that we haven't thought about in the past. By doing so, we're helping to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and boost yield."

Villa Toscana, located at 1416 Casey Key Rd in Nokomis, FL. Enter through a secluded circular motor court and you encounter a burnt-Sienna facade, characterized by some as "caramelized adobe". As you enter the home through the front door's stone surround, wrought iron gates, and heavy mesquite doors, your eye is immediately drawn through the central courtyard, past rows of stone columns, through tall mahogany doors to the pool, gardens, and out to Little Sarasota Bay. But as quickly as you are pulled outside, you are drawn back to the carved wooden canopy vault that introduces you to the courtyard's vaulted ceiling and dramatic stone fireplace. You'll find exquisite hand-crafted items created by artisans in San Miguel de Allende: carved book cases, stained glass insets in 8-foot mahogany doors, carved stone pedestals, and hand forged railings. Gracious entertaining will be enjoyed by your guests in this spacious home. This gulf-to-bay property on over an acre of land offers the best in waterfront living with boating from your private dock and watching sunsets from your private walkover to the secluded beach. Casey Key is an 8-mile island with fewer than 400 single family homes situated between Siesta Key and the historic walking town of Venice with boutique shopping and gourmet restaurants. Casey Key's absence of high rise condominiums adds to the island's charm. Enjoy casual dining with fresh seafood at the restaurants located near each bridge onto the island. The property is being offered "as is" with right to inspect.

- A National Resistance Movement party chairman fell of off a mango tree while trying to pluck ripe mangoes for his breakfast
- It is said that the official fell head-first from the tree on April 22 and blacked out immediately and has since then been in hospital
- Officials associated with Yoweri Museveni's party said the victim could have fallen due to slippery branches since it had rained heavily the previous night
Mark Ojara, the chairman of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) associated with Uganda President Yoweri Museveni is fighting for his life in a Uganda hospital after falling off a Mango tree in his farm.

Reports indicate that Ojara was picking mangoes for his breakfast on Apri 22, before the accident occurred.
He fell head-fast and passed out immediately and was rushed to Mulago Hospital in Kampala where he is being attended to.
According to the Daily Monitor, other party officials confirmed the incident saying Ojara could have fallen off the mango tree due to slippery branches.

It had rained heavily the previous night.
The officials said that they expect some financial assistance from the National Resistance Movement headquarters in Kampala so as to settle the victims medical bill.
It is feared Ojara might be paralysed should he survive. A CT scan revealed that he suffered heavy head injuries and blood spilled to his brain.

The UK Government is seeking views on the European Commission's proposal to introduce legislation allowing cross-border portability of digital content services.
At present, if a person is travelling in the EU, they may not be able to access online content services – for instance online film services – which they have paid for in their home country. Legislation on cross-border portability would enable such services to be 'portable', allowing EU consumers to continue to access digital subscriptions acquired in their home country while they are temporarily in another EU country.
In December 2015, the European Commission published a draft regulation which would enable digital services to be portable within the EU – see our December blog post here for more details.
The draft regulation is now going through the EU's legislative process, with the text to be negotiated and agreed by EU Member States and the European Parliament. The UK Government seeks views on the Regulation to inform its approach. Views are sought on the costs and benefits of the proposals and suggestions for improving the language of the text, and in particular, the Government welcomes views from service providers, rights holders organisations and consumers.
Comments are to be sent by 12 February 2016 to: email@example.com. For information and guidance on how to structure responses, please click here.

Hundreds gathered at Congregation Beth Sholom to support ALS sufferer
On Tuesday evening hundreds gathered at Congregation Beth Sholom in Lawrence to demonstrate support for Devorah Shochet of Woodmere who is in the throes of a battle with ALS –Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis—a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells. ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.
The event was an outpouring of support on multiple levels for Devorah and her family. The medical industry is still searching or a cure for ALS which slowly paralyzes its victims. Her friends and neighbors organized an outstanding event that showed the extent of the care and concern for the Shochet family and their needs on many levels.
One of the organizers told me that a schedule has been drawn up amongst her friends, neighbors and family that has everything she needs covered around the clock. That is, she is never alone or never has to search around for someone to help with this or that chore or need. Whether it is something at home or something that needs to be shopped, her family and friends are there to make it happen.
It is an uphill climb and even a debilitating challenge with a community rising to the occasion, whether it is raising money for medical treatments out there that may work or simple everyday things. Unfortunately the family is all too well aware of what is involved in this battle as Devorah mother suffered with ALS.
In the meantime the community is mobilized in a most magnificent way beseeching the heavens for mercy and a Refuah Shlema for Devorah Rochel bas Miriam Chava, may she receive the miracle cure that she needs. For more information go to

A bastion of middle-class educational privilege
It is not a row over nothing, as David Cameron protested, it is a row about something that couldn't be more important. The argument over grammar schools is an argument about fairness, about equal access to education, and nothing could be more important than that. It is a row we do not have nearly as often or as loudly enough.
The grammar schools are the least of the problem. There are 164 of them in the country. Compare that with an astonishing 6,848 faith schools, about a third of all the schools in England. More than 6,000 of these are primary schools, overwhelmingly Church of England or Catholic, with a smattering of Jewish (37), Methodist (26), Muslim (8) and Sikh (2). And these are used ruthlessly by the middle classes as a barely covert form of social and academic selection. This is where the campaign for a fairer education system should be focusing.
Faith schools tie up places in good local schools for those families who are, or who are prepared to pretend to be, religious. They get the best results because they select their intake. Doing what the Blairs did and sending your children across town to a faith school has a direct impact on other children; faith schools prevent other four-year-olds, whose only fault is failing to have religious or hypocritical parents, from attending their nearest school, forcing them to travel sometimes miles from home each day, increasing their stress as well as addding to pollution levels.
Their admission criteria are opaque, manipulated and blatantly unfair, ranging from church attendance (twice a week for five years; every week for two years; whatever the governors fancy imposing) to academic record, parental committee work or, in one case, how many raffle tickets a child's parents had sold at the primary school.
When schools are officially banned from selection on the grounds of race, colour, ability or parental background, the system sanctions selection on the entirely random basis of whether a child was born to a practising Christian family. And because faith schools set their own admissions criteria, and run their own admissions, in practice they can discriminate against anyone they choose. Many use their nurseries as a filter, so that a family effectively has to apply to the school when the child is as young as 2, and before any admissions code applies.
Questions about a child's background were supposed to have been banned under the new school admissions code, with faith schools no longer allowed to seek supplementary information except about religion, or to interview applicants. One London school I know, a heavily oversubscribed Church of England primary, while technically sticking to the new rules, also asked this year for parents to send in copies of the child's birth certificate with their application, ostensibly to prove their age – not something it is necessary for the school to check at that point. What the birth certificate also provides, of course, are details of the child's parents' professions. Parents with children at the school tell me it is overwhelmingly professional class – and pupils are drawn from surprisingly far away. Yet the school is surrounded by pockets of deep deprivation.
Schools can be fined or forced to reconsider an application, if a parent appeals successfully. One Church of England secondary for girls, Lady Margaret in Parsons Green, West London, was fined this spring for using unfair selection techniques after two families complained that their daughters had been unfairly refused places. The school operated a points system, rewarding attendance and primary school references as well as the extent of parental support. It also banded children by ability, ostensibly to ensure a comprehensive intake across the range but in fact using it to select higher ability kids. And it asked children to write an account of themselves and their home lives, which favoured articulate middle-class children. There was no clear rationale for the way governors scored the applications, the ombudsman said. To parents trying to apply for places at church schools, there never is.
Pressure from the Government to crack down on covert selection has turned the panic of parents unable to manipulate the system into near mania, with about 70,000 appeals being launched every year. More and more schools are expected to introduce lottery systems to allocate places in future, to ensure fairness and to prevent parents buying their way into the school of their choice by purchasing houses in the ever-tighter catchment areas. The unpopularity of the lottery system introduced by Brighton & Hove City Council this year contributed to Labour's hammering in the local elections there in May.
It shouldn't matter if schools choose to teach according to a particular religious ethos as long as they are open to anyone to attend and their entry criteria are fair. But in practice faith schools can also act as racial segregators. How many white Christian families, for instance, will choose to send their children to a Muslim school?
If you stop to think about it even for a minute, it is extraordinary that we allow publicly funded schools to exclude children simply on the basis of an accident of birth. How many four-year-olds even know if they are Christian? The reason for the lack of public outrage is because the system so strongly favours the aspirational and manipulative middle and professional classes who are the ones who would normally be making the most noise.
I am delighted that the Conservative Party leadership has ended its obsession with grammar schools. David Willetts, who declared the Tories' love affair with grammars dead, is one of the truly great thinkers in public life, unafraid to turn dearly loved and entrenched assumptions on their heads. Now let's see them turn their attention to the rotten selection processes of faith schools. Then again, a Tory leader who is assiduously trying to secure his own daughter a place at a C of E school, two miles and 46 alternative schools away from his home, probably isn't the man to do it.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, how many words would it take to equal a taste? I'm not talking about just one taste while you're cooking, but how about the taste of an entire meal.
A taste of an appetizer, for example, has many tastes seperately then combined becomes something terribly unique. For example guacamole. Seperately you have avocado which most people can readily identify. Garlic….same thing. Salt….same thing. Onion….same thing. Jalapeno….unmistakable. Lime juice is tart. Mix it all together and something magical happens. It needs to be done in balance or the dish doesn't taste right. If the chips are soggy, the guacamole is not as good. Similarly, if too burnt or not seasoned properly, something not related to the guacamole injects their personality onto something its not related to at all. Then what happens to the rest of your meal.
The point is taste is worth more than a thousand words and if you're going to eat something, think about where it comes from. We hear it often that people are concerned about their food and would like to know who cooked it and that the put the proper care in preparing the meal, so come a take a class so you can be in control.

In March 2016, MUCRU researchers carried out a short pilot study along the Antarctic peninsula to measure the body condition of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). This study contributed to the broader research project of assessing body condition in baleen whales. Antarctica serves as the main feeding ground for Southern hemisphere humpback whales during the austral summer, and provided an opportunity to collect data for comparisons with that obtained from humpback whales in the Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia, in 2015. The expedition to Antarctica was carried out by Cheeseman's Ecology Safaris, who kindly hosted two of our researchers onboard their ship the Ortelius.
After departing Ushuaia, Argentina, on the 10th of March, the Ortelius took two days to cross the Drake passage before reaching the Antarctic peninsula. For the next ten days, the Ortelius visited several feeding areas for humpback whales and other baleen whale species. From a zodiak, two Splashdrones, kindly donated by UAVwholesale Australia, were used to photograph humpback whales from the air, using both a still camera and a GoPro.
Results and implications
Over just five days, a total of 30 humpback whales were successfully photographed and measured. As expected, the whales measured in the Antarctic (feeding ground) were in a much better body condition than whales measured in Exmouth Gulf (breeding ground), as a result of them having spent nearly six months feeding on Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba). With a limited field effort, this study only provided a snapshot of the body condition of humpback whales on their feeding grounds. However, it gave a first valuable insight into the magnitude of difference in condition between humpbacks on their feeding and breeding grounds, and the amount of energy that humpback whales must accumulate to finance the costs of reproduction during the breeding season.
This research project was carried out under research permits from the Department of the Environment, Australia, the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), Australia, and with approval from the Murdoch University Animal Ethics Committee, Australia.

When Phil Jackson and Larry Brown walk onto the Staples Center floor tonight, it will be the first time these two coaches have met since June 16, 2004. That was Game 5 of the NBA Finals and the Detroit Pistons, the team Brown coached, won 100-87, clinching the title.
Approximately 17 months have elapsed since that day and these two men have gone through messy basketball divorces with the teams they were coaching that night. Phil, after a yearlong hiatus and a tell-all book, reconciled with his former team and returned to the Shaq-less Lakers. Larry was hired by the Knicks, his "dream job," after leading the Pistons to the NBA Finals two years in a row.
Both men are a long way from where they were that night in June 2004. Last year was the first time in 29 years that both New York and LA missed the playoffs and that might not change this year. The Lakers and Knicks both lack the talent required to be title contenders. Phil and Larry must utilize their leadership and communication skills to help their respective teams sneak into the playoffs. Their Hall of Fame coaching abilities will be required to reestablish the discipline, mental toughness and unselfishness required to develop an elite team.
No one doubts that the Lakers and Knicks will eventually have success. However, this will be a tricky year for both. There are many questions that must be resolved. Let's take a closer look at each team and we get a clearer picture of what lies ahead for these high-profile franchises this year.


text: Hi all! I got my first Honda back in July - a 2009 Accord ES GT 2.2 I-DTEC in Alabaster Silver. It was a massive departure for us - previously I had always been an advocate of buying older high mileage cars which didn't depreciate, but after six years of constant mechanical repairs and new cars every year or so I partly gave up, and was partly browbeaten into a 'new' car by SWMBO and parents I can't say I mind. Changing from a 2000 Volvo V70 TDi with 205,000 miles on the clock into a 2009 40,000 mile Accord is a serious upgrade. I will post some pictures up in a day or two - we went away with the caravan last week and the car is filthy, so I am too ashamed to show any pictures of it until I have washed it. First impressions after a month of ownership and about 2,000 miles are very very good, although having an instant MPG readout has made me a tad about my fuel consumption. I have set myself a personal challenge to get my average to 60mpg. Before the caravan trip I had the average MPG up over 50, and it was climbing steadily. Unfortunately getting the towbar fitted meant disconnecting the battery and so all the data was lost, and the new figures are now skewed by hauling a 1.1 tonne plastic shed halfway across the country and back. For info (not sure if anyone is interested), on the trip from Dorset to Norfolk on mainly motorways and dual carriageways, I got 30.8mpg towing the caravan. I will fill up at the weekend (ie. after pay day) and reset the trips. I also think I need to keep manual records too, as the on board computer might give artificially low MPG readings than. Thanks for reading James

Are you a woman living in or near Indianapolis, the state of Indiana, or surrounding states who has been contemplating breast augmentation surgery?
You're not alone, and you're in the right place.
To schedule your Indiana breast augmentation consultation with Dr. Joseph Fata, please call Renaissance Plastic Surgery in Indianapolis today at 317-565-1009.
Millions of women just like you have enjoyed the benefits of augmentation surgery with breast implants. Women who opt for this type of plastic surgery procedure generally have the following reasons for seeking out a breast augmentation:
- They want larger breasts.
- They want to improve the shape or proportion of their breasts.
- They want to correct breast sagging.
- They want to correct breast symmetry.
- They need a breast augmentation revision.
At Renaissance Plastic Surgery in Indianapolis, Board-Certified Indiana Plastic Surgeon Dr. Joseph Fata and his caring, knowledgeable staff specialize in breast augmentation surgery. We are waiting to answer all of your questions, from what size implants are best-suited to your body, to what type of post-operative physical activity will be appropriate for you.
Is Breast Augmentation Safe?
The most important consideration for patients prior to any cosmetic surgery procedure is whether it will be safe.
At Renaissance Plastic Surgery, safety is our chief concern.
There are risks associated with any medical procedure, but hundreds of thousands of women undergo breast augmentation surgery each year. The procedure is commonplace for Dr. Fata, who has an excellent safety record.
The doctor you choose for your Indianapolis plastic surgery procedure is key to safeguarding your long-term health and wellness. A first essential step to making sure you've got the right doctor for your Indiana breast augmentation is to insure that your surgeon is board-certified (like Dr. Fata) because these physicians are up-to-date on the latest best practices in surgical procedure, techniques and tools, and patient safety.
Dr. Fata is a seasoned physician who has been certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) for years. He also is a member of:
- The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS)
- The Indiana State Medical Association
- The Indianapolis Medical Society
Your Breast Augmentation Consultation
Your consultation is one of the most important steps in your breast augmentation journey. Dr. Fata believes that a productive patient consultation will accomplish two things:
- First, you will gain a thorough understanding of all aspects of breast augmentation surgery.
- Second, you will determine exactly which size breast implant is best for achieving your physical goals.
At the pre-operative appointment,which is usually scheduled less than one month before your surgery, you also can expect:
- To receive a detailed handbook about preparing for breast augmentation surgery
- To review the doctor's surgical technique
- To select your breast implant size, which is a unique and personal decision
- To receive prescriptions
- To ask all of your questions about breast augmentation surgery
Most patients also return to our office a second time before surgery for the pre-operative appointment. If you plan to travel a long distance to Indianapolis, we can accommodate you by combining these two visits into one consultation.
How Much Does Breast Augmentation Surgery Cost?
No two women or breast augmentation procedures are the same, which means the cost of this surgery from one patient to the next will vary. For instance, a breast augmentation with silicone implants tends to be more expensive because these implants now come with a lifetime warranty as opposed to the 10-year warranty for saline implants.
That said, most breast augmentation surgeries cost between $4,900 for saline implants and $5,700 for silicone implants.
At Renaissance Plastic Surgery, the price we quote you for a breast augmentation surgery includes:
- The surgeon's fee
- The anesthesiologist's fee
- The surgery center fee
- All follow-up care (with the exception of additional surgical procedures)
Breast Augmentation Surgical Technique
Breast augmentation with Dr. Fata is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure at the Carmel Ambulatory Surgery Center in Carmel, Indiana.
It's been about a decade since the FDA approved silicone breast implants for cosmetic breast augmentation. In that time, silicone breast implants have shown they are a safe, effective alternative to saline implants.
Although silicone implants are now vastly more popular than saline implants, Dr. Fata always reviews the pros and cons of each type of breast implant with each woman he sees to be sure that she is making a choice that falls in line with her aesthetic goals.
During the surgery, a small incision is placed in the natural breast fold. After surgery, this incision is masked by the curve of your new breasts.
Once the incision is made, the surgeon forms a "breast implant pocket" beneath the chest wall muscle to allow the surgeon to insert the breast implant.
Breast Surgery Options
One of the appeals of breast augmentation is that the procedure is now fully-customizable for each patient. Dr. Fata will guide you through the process to help you make the decisions that are right for you.
One of the most important choices you'll make will be the type of breast implant you want. You do have a choice between saline and silicone breast implants. Saline breast implants are filled with a salt water solution. Patients who choose saline implants do so because the volume can be adjusted during surgery, they require a slightly smaller smaller incision, and the saline is absorbed by your body if there is a leak. Silicone breast implants have been the choice for the overwhelming majority of patients because of the more natural look and feel.
Incision location: Many women in Indiana worry about scarring from their breast augmentation surgery, but the reality is that unsatisfactory scars are very uncommon after breast augmentation. Dr. Fata places the incision in the natural crease of the breast fold. He believes that this approach gives the best access to formation of the proper size and shape of the surgical "pocket" for the implant, which is the key to getting the best and most natural result. The scar will be hidden once the implant settles in and rounds out the lower portion of your breast
Breast implant placement: Dr. Fata will place the implant under the main chest wall muscle (sub-muscular approach). This placement provides better support for the implants, reduces the chance of capsular contracture, and makes future mammograms easier. When indicated, he will use a "dual plane"approach, in which only the lowest portion of the breast is not covered by muscle. This technique allows the implant to better fill out the lower breast in cases where the breast skin is sagging below the breast fold. Once he has completed a full assessment, he will explain which of these techniques he believes will work the best for you.
Although still used by some surgeons, sub-glandular implant placement provides less support for the implant, and has a higher incidence of complications.
Breast Implant shape: The gold standard for shape has always been the round implant, which is the softest available implant. This implant is round when you lie down but shifts into a more "tear drop" shape when you are upright, much the same way that a natural breast changes shape with changing positions. In the past few years, a new implant design has become available to women: the "shaped" or "form stable" implant, more commonly known as the "Tear Drop" or "Gummy Bear" implant. This implant is slightly more firm and does not change shape with changes in position (hence the "form stable" name). It is a good option in women with mild degrees of sagging who want to avoid a breast lift and women who have an abnormal flattening of the lower breast. Dr. Fata will recommend the type of implant that will best suit your individual needs.
Breast Augmentation Recovery
Today's women are busy and active. That's why Dr. Fata originated the 24-Hour Breast Surgery Recovery Program, which accommodates women who must resume their normal professional or parenting commitments by the second day after surgery. This is a great option for most patients — as long as they avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for two weeks or until the surgeon has cleared them for this level of activity.
After your breast augmentation surgery, you will be discharged wearing a comfortable, natural cotton bra. You should trade out this bra for a soft, elastic sports bra within 24 hours after your surgery.
In order to assist with your healing and the proper positioning of your breast implants, Dr. Fata asks that you wear your post-surgical bra "24/7" for four weeks.
Finally, Dr. Fata will want to see you for at least one but probably two follow-up visits in the immediate weeks after your surgery. The surgeon also asks that you visit for a check-up at two, six and twelve months after your Indianapolis breast augmentation.
Long-Term Breast Surgery Prognosis
Today's board-certified plastic surgeons have honed their surgical technique to make breast augmentation surgery with implants safer than ever before. The results are beautiful and lasting.The two main reasons patients may need surgery are the leak or rupture of an implant or hardening of the scar tissue capsule around the implant. There are available warranties to cover most of the costs of treating these problems, and it is important to obtain them because breast implants cannot be expected to last the lifetime of a woman.
Thanks to improvements in breast implant technology, complication rates also are way down.
Call Today for Your Appointment
Your safety and your needs are our top priorities. If you're an Indianapolis, Indiana woman considering a breast augmentation, please contact Renaissance Plastic Surgery through our website or call 317-565-1009 today to schedule your Indianapolis breast augmentation surgery consultation.

Here is the cover art for The Gathering by Kelley Armstrong. This is the first book in her new Darkness Rising trilogy. I think this series is a spin-off from the Darkest Powers trilogy, taking place in the same world, but just with new characters. The book is scheduled to be released on April 12, 2011.
Synopsis (Product Description):
Maya lives in a small medical-research town on Vancouver Island. How small? You can't find it on the map. It has less than two-hundred people, and her school has only sixty-eight students—for every grade from kindergarten to twelve.
Now, strange things are happening in this claustrophobic town, and Maya's determined to get to the bottom of them. First, the captain of the swim team drowns mysteriously in the middle of a calm lake. A year later, mountain lions start appearing around Maya's home, and they won't go away. Her best friend, Daniel, starts experiencing "bad vibes" about certain people and things. It doesn't help that the new bad boy in town, Rafe, has a dangerous secret—and he's interested in one special part of Maya's anatomy: Her paw-print birthmark.
