1. Choice of Death
Rating 5/5 Word Count 801 Review this Chapter
I could feel his breath warm against my neck, burning my icy skin. The burning wasn't painful: it was comfortable, welcome. It was the one feeling I would trade for no other. – Sure his lips against mine meant the world to me, his hands on my waist gave the universe a purpose… But that feeling of him being there without him even touching me… Knowing he was inches away and feeling his heat in more ways than one… That was priceless.
"Nessie," he murmured my name. His soft, smooth voice ran across my shoulders and danced up to my ears. Magic.
"Mmm…" I couldn't speak. He still hadn't touched me, but I felt him all over. He was there in my heart, he filled up my nose, my ears… I turned around to face him and sighed: perfection. There could never be a face sculptured more ideally than his. Every inch of it screamed his name, his character. It was entirely his own and I loved it so much.
He closed his eyes and moved his chin to rest above my head, I moved into his chest whilst his arms wrapped around me. I was home, I was safe, I was loved. This moment, however small, was yet another perfect memory. I would cherish it as long as I lived.
Not long. I could feel the strength fading from me day by day. In his arms I felt like the queen of the world, but the second I left them the feeling faded. His smile warmed my body, his laugh lit up my world… No matter how little time I had to live, each second with him made me hold on just that little bit longer, that little bit harder.
The little person inside me kicked and I felt Jacob tense. I knew he thought that he couldn't live on without me, but he would have to… Our little baby would need him to guide her through life, to be there when I could not. I looked up into his eyes and smiled, "You know I will always love you, even when I'm gone?"
His face moved into a smile but it didn't reach his eyes. I moved onto my tip-toes to kiss the crinkles around his eyes: he worried to much. "Jacob, I love you more than anything in the world. I would do anything to stay with you, but I can't, I have to go aw-"
He jerked away, "it's killing you! That thing inside you. It's making you weak, it's taking you away from me!"
He had it wrong, all wrong. "That's what they thought I was doing to Bella, but she survived. And yes, I probably won't, and I'm ready for the worst, but the little baby inside me… It's thinking, it's feeling… It loves me. I can't kill something that loves me. I can't… Jacob I wouldn't be the woman you married if I didn't go through with this. I have a part of you inside of me, and by killing our baby I'm killing part of you. I can't do that! I love you more than anything else in the world and if I have to sacrifice part of myself to keep all of you alive, then I'm okay with that."
"But I'm not! I can't let you throw your life away for me. I can't lose you, you don't understand. I need you here. I need you by my side. You have no idea how much I rely on you to get through the day… Without you I am nothing."
I took his hands in mine and placed them over my belly, "You will always have a part of me, no matter how small, physically there with you. – Within our child. But more than that you should know that I will find a way to be with you always, even when I'm gone. I will find a way to stay with you, to be with you for when you need me. Trust me on that."
My little angel kicks again. I know she'll be strong for her father, that she'll make him see that what I'm doing is right. - He can't see it now but he will, someday… I shouldn't be worrying about all this: I still have time with Jake, and I'm not going to waste another second of it. I pull myself closer to him and feel his arms wrap around me, I know he's trying to understand and I'm grateful.
But sometimes I wonder: is it worth it? These moments with him, so perfect, would I care whose life I sacrifice to keep on living them?
Of course… Of course I care… I shake my head, silly me, I'm making the right decision… Of course I am.

Trouble in Freedonia
The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism
To the tardy reviewer each new notice that comes his way may offer a temptation to revise his estimate, up or down. Keeping up with the critical acclaim that has greeted Professor Daniel Bell's The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism, I have had to ask myself, over and over again, what it is that anesthetized me to the various merits that writers of intelligence and reputation have found to praise in it. Or is it that, though the appearance of the book happened to catch me out at the start of a busy term, there has been something singularly opportune about its timing? Rereading the book I failed to find answers to these questions.
Two preliminary points should be made about The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism. The first is that it isn't a book, but a collection, in parts a distillation, of essays. If the tone seems to vary, or the argument to recur, the explanation, is not that the reader has lost his place, but that the author has calculated with some justice that not all the participants in the Arden House conference of the Columbia University School of Business and the Institute of Life Insurance will be regular readers of Daedalus, or that the prevailing mood at the anniversary celebrations of the Haifa Technicon might differ from that generated at a CIBA Foundation conference in London. Secondly, these essays are, by and large, about one particular country, the United States, and not about the world. This can be overlooked because of Professor Bell's habit of referring to his own country, colloquially, as "the society" or sometimes as "post-industrial society." But unless this parochialism of reference is borne in mind, some of the book's observations about the decline of the nineteenth century into the twentieth may seem phantasmagorical.
The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism falls into three parts in a way not fully reflected in the formal organization of the book. The first part, from which the book takes its title is the fullest and the weakest. The middle part, which calls for a revival of religion, is the briefest, the most elusive, and, I would say, the most intriguing. The third addresses itself to the current condition of liberal theory and calls for a revival of that too. This final section is intellectually the most ambitious, but it suffers from a lack of clear organization and direction. My reading of reviews suggests that this part of the book has attracted, and will probably continue to attract, the least attention.
Professor Bell begins his discussion with the plausible assumption that "the society" is divided into three distinct realms: the "techno-economic" realm, the polity, and the culture. Each of these realms respects a different and indeed distinctive "axial principle." The first is concerned with the organization of production and the allocation of goods and services. The second is the sphere of social justice…

Post Marathon Training Guide - Advanced Schedule, Week 4
Monday: Five miles at an easy pace today. This is the final week of your post-marathon training, and I recommend you finish with a flourish by running a 5-K or 10-K race. The schedule assumes a race on Sunday, but you may choose to race on Saturday, or some other day of the week. If you race on another day, simply juggle the training days to suit your convenience.
Tuesday: Today's speed workout is 3 x 800 at 5-K pace, a change in distance from the 400 repeats you had been doing for the past three weeks. Some runners find 800 repeats easier; some find 400 repeats easier. Regardless, this is not meant to be a bust-it workout. If it seems too intense, either run the 800s somewhat slower or take more than the usual 3 to 5 minutes of walking or jogging I normally prescribe for this workout.
Wednesday: Five miles at an easy pace. Do this at your normal pace. If you can't talk to a training partner while running this workout, you probably are going too fast.
Thursday: Tempo run of 30 minutes. You had been doing this workout on the weekend the previous three weeks, but I've moved this to midweek because of the race scheduled on Sunday. This should not be a difficult run for you at this phase of your training. Start at an easy pace, then after about 10 minutes, begin a gradual acceleration to marathon pace and hold at that speed to about 20 minutes into the run. Then slowly decelerate, finishing at the same easy pace at which you started.
Friday: Three mile run at the same easy pace you ran on Monday and Wednesday. This is the start of a two-day mini-taper leading into Sunday's race. You don't need to taper as much for a 5-K or 10-K as you do for a marathon, but it's a good idea to back off your normal training routine so you go into the race well rested.
Saturday: Rest today. That assumes that you are going to run your race tomorrow, on Sunday. If you decide to race on Saturday, simply juggle the week's workouts to accommodate that slight schedule change. One way to accomplish this would be to do the tempo run on Wednesday and start the two-day mini-taper a day early. Then you could go for an easy jog on Sunday depending on how you feel after your race.
Sunday: Run a 5-K or a 10-K race. Which distance should you choose? Let the distance choose you. Check the local schedule and find a race at one of those distances that you think you might enjoy doing. If you can't find a 5-K or 10-K race, don't worry. Do what's convenient. Depending on how your recovery has come, you might even be able to race as far as a half-marathon--although that's being a bit pushy, and I wouldn't race any farther than that. Then get out your calculator to see how your race today compared with your marathon. If you ran a 10-K, you can use the standard marathon prediction formula of 4.66 X marathon time.
TIP OF THE WEEK: "Food has real nutritional value, whereas sports drinks are just sugar," says Nancy Clark, R.D., author of Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook and a nutritionist with SportsMedine Brookline of Boston. Clark recommends fruit or yogurt (frozen and otherwise) as a superior snack to cookies or candy bars. Research by Dr. (Edward F.) Coyle indicates that 1 gram of carbohydrates per kilogram of body weight per hour is necessary for the most efficient glycogen replacement. That translates to 2 calories per pound, or 300 calories for a 150-pound runner.

Savannah is widely considered one of the most walkable cities in the US. Not only is Savannah absolutely stunning but she is also filled with a rich history that most can't help but feel captivated by. Beyond the live oak trees and the Spanish moss we can see an even more detailed face of the Savannah and that is her architectural design. But how does one even begin to fathom the complex history of Savannah with her architecture? Jonathon Stalcup took this challenge by the horns and did so in a marvelous way! Here's why we LOVE Jonathon's Architectural Tour:
Your Tour Guide
Jonathon Stalcup, a local author and SCAD graduate, sought to bring this "secret Savannah" to public light and did so in a marvelous way. On his tour you don't feel overwhelmed with information or intimidated by his knowledge. His approach to enlightening his tour-mates is leisurely and comfortable making this the ideal tour for those of you who would want a brief overview of Savannah's architecture without feeling like you're losing that information.
Savannah's Architecture and History
With over three hundred years of history compressed into its buildings a lot of people, Savannahians included, miss a lot when they don't look up. Savannah has been there for a majority of American History and has also gone through constant changes in design and styles as the years go on. Jonathon does a marvelous job summing up the trials of Savannah as she was faces the challenges of history.
For example, did you know that after the Revolutionary War Savannahians of the time got so sick of the British Empire that they adopted Grecian architecture? Although they did not get rid of all the Colonial Styles a good portion of the wealthy elite and others built or converted their homes, businesses, and public buildings into what appears to be Greek Temple and Pantheons. Stylish- but it made it difficult to discern which was the post office and which was your house. At least it was showing your true allegiance to democracy, right? Take that, British Empire!
Start Walking!
So book a tour with Jonathon, bring a bottle of water, wear comfortable shoes, and most importantly, prepare to be enlightened and once again captivated by Savannah's beauty . Jonathon Stalcup's Architectural Tour of Savannah will no doubt leave you with a whole new perspective.

Megadeth Bassist Dave Ellefson Studying to Become a Pastor
Killing may be his business, but Megadeth bassist Dave Ellefson is venturing into the world of saving, as he is studying to become a Lutheran pastor. The veteran rocker has been taking a two-year program at the Concordia Seminary in Clayton, Mo., to achieve his goal of spreading God's word.
Ellefson recently spoke with St. Louis Today about how religion has always been a central point throughout his life. "I came from a good family, not a broken home," stated Ellefson. "That became a model for me, and I saw church at center of it."
The Megadeth co-founder credits religion as one of the catalysts that allowed him to give up alcohol after successfully completing a 12-step program.
Ellefson even began his own MEGA Life Ministries congregation in the fall of 2007. The Scottsdale, Ariz., worship service was named after both Megadeth and a bible verse from the Gospel of John: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."
As Megadeth are set to rock arenas on the 2012 Gigantour, Ellefson will be taking theological classes online. "It makes higher education possible for me," said Ellefson. "As a guy my age, to be involved in any kind of higher learning is a great thing. And so far, it's worked."
The bassist finished the St. Louis Today interview with final words of insight into his being. "Some people want to morph things together into one, but I have a hand in both worlds," he said. "I love praise and worship music, and I love heavy metal."
Gigantour is set to kick off on Jan. 26 and will feature Megadeth, Motörhead, Volbeat and Lacuna Coil. See the full list of dates here.

Architecture Firm and ESA To 3D Print Building On the Moon 113
An anonymous reader writes "Internationally acclaimed architecture firm Foster + Partners built the Hearst Tower, the Millennium Bridge, and the Gherkin here on earth — and now they're setting their sights on outer space with plans to produce a 3D printed building on the moon. Today the firm announced that it has partnered with the European Space Agency to develop a lunar base for four people that can withstand the threat of meteorites, gamma radiation and temperature fluctuations. Since transporting building materials to space is a challenge, the team is considering using on-site 3D printing as a solution."

Steelers rookie running back Le'Veon Bell gave himself a C-minus for his performance Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.
Kind of makes you wonder what Bell's A game looks like, doesn't it?
A lot of people laughed when Steelers coach Mike Tomlin went out of his way to gush about Bell's 16-carry, 34-yard day in a 19-6 win against the New York Jets Oct. 13. Even Bell, that notorious tough grader, gave himself a D for that one.
But no one is laughing this morning, not after Bell played a big role in the 19-16 win against the Ravens, running 19 times for 93 of the Steelers' 141 rushing yards.
It wasn't just their best rushing day in nearly a year. It helped them to convert 7 of 12 third downs because they always seemed to be in third-and-short situations. It also slowed the Ravens' ferocious pass rush, which sacked quarterback Ben Roethlisberger just three times with four other hurries.
"The game is still fast, but it's starting to slow down for me," Bell said. "The more I play, the more comfortable I feel. I had a great week of practice and I think it showed today. I'm going to continue to get better."
Tomlin and offensive coordinator Todd Haley keep asking more of Bell. They used him Sunday as a wildcat quarterback on four plays, splitting Roethlisberger out to the left each time. Bell gave the ball to wide receiver Antonio Brown on an inside handoff on the first play for a 3-yard gain. He kept it the next three times for gains of 6, 7 and 2 yards.
"It was a nice little wrinkle," Tomlin said.
"I like it," Bell said. "It's something I'm comfortable with. It's a great mix-up for our offense."
Roethlisberger seemed to enjoy it, too, although the Steelers probably aren't going to ask their $100 million quarterback to line up outside too many times. He threw a block on cornerback Corey Graham on Bell's first run out of the wildcat.
"I told him he should have cut it outside of me," Roethlisberger said, grinning. "The coaches yelled at me and told me to get out of there, but you know me."
What's next?
A pass by Bell, who played quarterback in high school and ran some wildcat at Michigan State?
"I told him I'm going deep," Roethlisberger said, grinning again. "I told their DB" -- Lardarius Webb -- "I was going deep. He laughed at me, of course."
Roethlisberger was having fun now.
"I think I'll save the pass to me until we get in the red zone. I'm an old basketball player. I'll go up and get the ball."
It was easy for all of the Steelers to laugh after this win. It was against the hated Ravens, for one thing. It also helped keep the Steelers "relevant" -- Tomlin's word -- for at least another week. They are 2-4 and play at Oakland against the Raiders Sunday.
"Every week, we've got to win," Bell said. "That's the mindset of the guys in here. We can't win four games in a week. We just have to win the game we're playing each week."
The Steelers are so much better when they can run the ball. It had been a serious flaw for them before Sunday. Their best rushing total as a team was 80 yards in a 40-23 loss to the Chicago Bears. Their best individual rushing game was Bell's 57 yards in a 34-27 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Bell easily passed that number by halftime against the Ravens. His 93 yards were the most by a Steelers back since Ike Redman went for 147 yards in a win against the New York Giants Nov. 4 of last season. The Steelers' 141 yards were their most since they had 158 in that Giants game.
Backup Felix Jones also ran hard, fighting for 3 yards on a third-and-2 play and 6 yards on a second-and-3 call. Third-stringer Jonathan Dwyer ran hard on his one carry, gaining 4 yards on a third-and-1 play.
But it was Bell who stood out. This was the first time he showed why the Steelers drafted him in the spring with their No. 2 pick.
"He did a great job," Roethlisberger said. "He was patient when he needed to be. He was physical when he needed to be ...
"Sometimes, when I hand it off and I carry out my fake, I turn around and it's almost like he's standing still in the hole. I think to myself, 'Gosh, he's going to get killed.' But he has that patience. It's not because he doesn't know what he's doing or where he's going. He's a good runner and he knows his surroundings and what's going on."
Bell was pleased but clearly wasn't satisfied.
That C-minus, remember?
Better is still to come, Bell said.
Much better.

The 13th annual Thanksgiving Community Gathering and Feast will take place Nov. 28 at the Williams Center of the Mountain View Fellowship Bldg at Peak View and Hywy 7. Guests will be served from 11:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. The gathering will include food, fun, entertainment and the spirit of community.
"You may wonder how this all started?" asked Steve Misch, on of the event organizers/ "Well, since you asked:
"In the late '90's, Don and Larraine Darling moved to Estes Park with their children and realized they would be alone for Thanksgiving. Larraine, in particular, found that holiday to be very difficult for her and wished, from that time, that no person should spend Thanksgiving alone in her new community.
"Having purchased the Notchtop Café, she was provided a venue to have a small Thanksgiving dinner for those folks that would enjoy a community gathering. Steve Misch and Larraine teamed up to facilitate the event for the 1st time in 2001 at the Notchtop.
" A full Thanksgiving feast was prepared and a "few" folks showed up..We always felt that the Lord would bring the right people through the front door..And He did..It was joyous for us all.
"As a result, we decided to commit to 2002.
" For the next two years we enjoyed the "feast" on Thanksgiving Day and enjoyed the attendees growing to close to 100, not to mention the many volunteers. Our community continued to reach out in support with donations of their resources..food, time and , of course, finances."
In 2004, Misch and his partners leased the Hangar at the 18hole golf course...the "feast" was moved to that location.
"This year was our greatest success , as we began to see folks from every cross-section of Estes Valley, including out-of-town visitors," said Misch. "In addition, we were beginning to serve the "shut-in" community.
"In 2005, we received an invitation from the Mountain View Bible Fellowship to utilize their gymnasium for the event..We gladly accepted their offer, as the Hangar was no longer available...A real answer to our prayers."
The "feast" took on a new look as entertainment was introduced with, among others, Brad Fitch. The "shut-ins" were being served and the children were being entertained with face-painters.
We were blessed and thankful to serve over 300 folks that year," said Misch.
The "tradition" of a Thanksgiving Community Feast here in Estes Park began over 100 years ago. Enos Mills and his friends and community would gather at the 'ol "Comers" building at the corner of Elkhorn and Moraine. There they would feast as a community and share stories and begin new friendships.
"We have only "rebirthed" that tradition and are, at this date, committed to its continuence," said Misch.
"We celebrated our 10th year anniversary with a "Mayoral Proclamation", the Bobcat cheerleaders, serving over 500 guests, and wonderful entertainment for the whole family. Further, we began to feature a "Homemade Goodies" bake item sale table that helped defray the costs of the following years "gathering"...that continues to this day."
This "Feast" is open to all members of the Estes Valley, their friends and family and those who want to visit from outside our area, and it's free.
Yes you can help by:
1.Homebaked goodies - bring to Mtn View gym before 10:30 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day
2. $$$$---Mail checks payable to "Thanksgiving Fund" to Steve Misch, 594 Alpine Dr, EP, 80517
"Can't come to us," said Misch. "We can bring Thanksgiving to you." Contact Misch at firstname.lastname@example.com, and give name, phone , address and number of meals requested. Volunteers will deliver to your home mid-day on Thanksgiving.

ATLANTA (AP) - A possible tornado ripped through downtown
Atlanta on Friday night, smashing skyscraper windows, sucking
furniture and luggage out of hotel rooms, crumbling part of an
apartment building and rattling the rafters of two major sports
arenas filled with basketball fans. At least 13 people were hurt.
Streets around the Georgia Dome, the Phillips Arena, the CNN
Center and Centennial Olympic Park were littered with broken glass,
crumbled bricks, insulation and even the occasional office chair.
Billboards collapsed onto parked cars. Stunned fans from the arenas
wandered through the debris in disbelief.
National Weather Service officials said a possible tornado hit
downtown Atlanta, and wind was clocked at up to 60 mph as the storm
moved through the city.
Most of the damage was concentrated in downtown Atlanta, Police
spokesman Ronald Campbell said. He said authorities blocked off
roads around the CNN Center, where heavy debris filled the streets.
A chair from the skyscraper's lobby sat in the middle of the
street, flanked by cars crushed by fallen debris.
Karone Edge, 23, was working out with two friends in a weight
room at the Westin Hotel when he saw debris fly by the window.
After watching the glass shatter in front of him, he said everyone
began to run, and he fell, scraping his leg.
"I thought the building was falling like a terrorist attack,"
said Edge, who was walking around with a bloodied sock.
Buzz Weiss, a spokesman for the Georgia Emergency Management
Agency, said nine people were taken to hospitals, including a
firefighter. Grady Hospital, the city's large public hospital where
eight of the injured were taken, had broken windows but was
operating as usual.
Kendra Gerlach, spokeswoman for Atlanta Medical Center, said the
hospital was treating about five patients in the emergency at
around 11:45 p.m. She said each patients suffered minor injuries
with only cuts, scraps and bruises.
"It's only a few, but I'm expecting to get more soon," she
Atlanta Fire Department Capt. Bill May said the department was
working "multiple incidents" from East Atlanta to downtown. He
said part of a loft apartment building collapsed, but he did not
know if there were any injuries.
May said a vacant building also collapsed, with no apparent
injuries. He said seven to 10 people had been taken to the
Weiss said search and rescue teams from five metro-Atlanta
communities were called in as a precaution. He said the teams are
equipped to handle rescues in collapsed buildings, but added that
he did not yet know whether that kind of rescue would be needed.
Weiss said officials were unsure of the extent of the damage but
said it"seems to be a little more widespread than it initially
appeared." He said it would likely be daylight until a complete
assessment could be made.
On its Web site, CNN said its headquarters building sustained
ceiling damage, allowing water to pour into the atrium, and windows
shattered in the CNN.com newsroom and the company's library. It
also said Centennial Olympic Park was severely damaged.
At the Georgia Dome, where Mississippi State was playing the
University of Alabama in a Southeastern Conference Tournament
basketball game, catwalks swayed and insulation fell from the roof,
sending fans fleeing toward the exits and the teams to their locker
The game was stopped with Mississippi State leading 64-61 with
2:11 left in overtime, but resumed after a delay of about an hour.
Mississippi State won 69-67, but the Georgia-Kentucky game that was
to have followed was postponed. SEC officials were considering a
scenario that would make up the quarterfinal Saturday morning, with
the winner returning later in the day to play in the semifinals.
"I thought it was a tornado or a terrorist attack," said
Mississippi State guard Ben Hansbrough, who was guarding Alabama's
Mykal Riley when a rumbling noise was heard from above.
Both teams stopped and looked toward the Teflon-coated Fiberglas
fabric roof, which is designed to flex slightly during high wind,
but was rippling heavily in the storm, much like waves rolling
toward the shore.
Several fans and at least one reporter on press row said metal
bolts and washers fell from the ceiling, though there were no
immediate reports of injuries. A pipe ripped a hole in the roof.
There were no reports of injuries inside the stadium,
Southeastern Conference associate commissioner Charles Bloom said.
He said the building was deemed structurally sound when the teams
resumed play, even though huge chunks or debris were piled up on
the sidewalks surrounding the 70,000-seat stadium and a breeze
could be felt blowing through the inside. The safety of fans
returning to the dome on Saturday was a concern.
An NBA game between the Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Clippers
was going on at next door at Philips Arena, which reported no major
Georgia Power Co. spokeswoman Consuela Monroe said about 10,000
customers had lost power in the Atlanta area.
In East Atlanta, downed trees, debris and power lines were
strewn in the street, which was eerily quiet in the wake of the
pounding hail, sheets of rain, flashes of lightning and growling
Melody and Brad Sorrells were at home with their two children
when the storm hit. The family was in their living room when Melody
Sorrells said she heard the huge pine in their front yard crash
into their house.
"I saw it falling and we ran into the back bedrooms in the
closet," she said, while turning to look at the massive trunk
blocking the front door. "I feel sick."
The family escaped out of the back of the house. Brad Sorrells
said the winds sounded like a roaring train.
"It was a tornado," he said, with arms folded.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association,
the most recent tornado to hit a major city's downtown was on Aug.
12, 2004, in Jacksonville, Fla. Downtown tornadoes have also struck
Fort Worth, Texas; Salt Lake City, Little Rock, Ark.; and
Nashville, Tenn., in the past decade.

Reviews forCurried Cranberry Snack Mix
My Review
Average Rating
"This snack is to die for! It was the perfect combination of sweet and savory. My hubby says I could just put a bowl of this in front of him for supper! I followed the recipe pretty much exactly but I used parchment paper on my 2 cookie sheets. Once it was spread out to cool, I decided while it was crisp, it could stand to be a bit crispier. I baked both cookie sheets in a 250F oven for 20 mins. It didn't alter or brown anything other than to just make it a bit crispier. I'll be making more of this as soon as I can get some more onion rings."
"Addictive! So easy to make, and everyone asked for the recipe. We will certainly be making this again."
"Very good. It is a really nice balance of sweet and savory. So easy, and tastes great. Will definitely make again."

That the file you want to execute is executable ?Make sure what is executable?
Hint: man chmod
That is obvious ! Not to sound somehow offensive but IMO it makes little sense to provide further guidance unless you are willing to deepen your Linux knowledge.I'm really confused.
All what is required to run Assault Cube has been elabourated above.
To quote yourself from the previous page:
There is no simple start-to-finish instructions if you are lacking the basic skills for working at shell level.Just simple, start-to-finish instructions on how to go from not having it at all to playing it.
It is like asking for a simple, start-to-finish guide for driving a car if one does not even know what a steering wheel is. Or a simple start-to-finish guide for a heart transplant...
OK, I am exagerating a bit here.
I know that this is going against the Ubuntu code of coduct but I do not know how to make it clearer. I can either speak the truth or leave you here without answers.
Go, grab some book for Linux newbies. There are even a few out there which give you a quickstart in the console. We all started there.
Galileocomputing has a nice book for entering the Linux world but unfortunately it is in german:
I have no clue if there are any equal english books. May be someone else can suggest something identical ?

Microsoft is working on a significant new feature for Windows Vista, known as Restart Manager, which is designed to update parts of the operating system or applications without having to reboot the entire machine. "If a part of an application, or the operating system itself, needs to updated, the Installer will call the Restart Manager, which looks to see if it can clear that part of the system so that it can be updated. If it can do that, it does, and that happens without a reboot." And here & here are some more shots of Vista build 5259.

Item # KRF0003
Kate's Real Food Handle Bars $34.99
Not bonking never tasted so good.
Ride quality starts with proper nutrition, and while a caramel covered peanut candy bar might hit the spot when sitting trailside, it's going to come back to haunt you once the sugar rush wears off. Kate's Real Food, on the other hand, uses organic, real food ingredients in products like its Handle Bars.
Kate Schade didn't set out in the energy bar business to make a quick buck. She started out by making bars for her to enjoy, and lucky for the rest of us, her standards are high. What she created were on-the-go bars made from real, organic food. And, with one hand in farming, she was able to guarantee where those ingredients actually came from. Friends and family tried them, and not surprisingly, they demanded more and more.
That brings us to today's Handle bar. It's a product that's born to fuel those who care about what they eat and where their ingredients come from. The Handle bar features a short list of only eight organic ingredients like oats, honey, almond butter, sweetened dried cherries, dark chocolate, and almonds. Even better, these delectable tastes have been offset by organic dark chocolate, rice nuggets, and sea salt in order to give it a nice balance of salty and sweet. So, the resulting bar hits on all points -- calorie richness, taste, and health. What more could you ask for?
The Kate's Real Food Handle Bars are available as a box of 12 individually wrapped bars. Please note that these bars contain nuts and soy, but no dairy. However, given their honey content, they're technically not vegan.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Great tasting bars that taste great on the trail. They aren't dry at all like some of the other bars on the market and they hold up well. I'm able to eat half and store the rest without it crumbling everywhere. Always a part of my kit.
Great Bars
These taste great. I like them because they are both crunchy and chewy and they not too sweet.
Good FOOD!!!!
Kate herself Is awesome. No surprise her bars are delicious real food. It's great to find these small companies with great products.
Love it!!
These are the best snack. I love them and will always keep some on hand.
Biking STAPLE!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The Handle bar is seriously my biking staple. I always have one in my pack. Love the toasted nutty taste and the giant tart cherries! Every flavor of Kate's is amaze-balls, but Handle has my heart! p.s. it goes superb with some hot bacon....see photo. Buy them here: www.katesrealfood.com
best tasting
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I think the handle bar is my favorite flavor from kates. The cherries are perfect, combining nicely with the other ingredients, making them very easy to eat. Its like a candy bar.
SO Good.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Nom nom nom... Delicious, identifiable ingredients and an admirable mission; it's the perfect bar.

how this will all work in a forum post. Here's the juicy stuff:
- All pieces will drop from multi-class set tokens. Ten-man raids will see a slight buff to drop rates to compensate for the lack of purchasable tier pieces.
- Valor point gear will feature a wider array of gear for a wider array of slots, meant both for people who are having trouble with token drops and for people who don't raid at all.
- There will be three tier 13 sets for each class: Looking For Raid level, normal level, and heroic level. Each will have a different item level, but you'll be able to mix and match pieces from all three sets for your set bonuses as needed.

Hyperventilation is rapid or deep breathing that can occur with anxiety or panic. It is also called overbreathing, and it may leave you feeling breathless.
You breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Excessive breathing creates low levels of carbon dioxide in your blood. This causes many of the symptoms of hyperventilation.
Feeling very anxious or having a panic attack are the usual reasons that you may hyperventilate. But rapid breathing can be a symptom of a disease, such as:
- Bleeding
- Heart or lung disorder
- Infection
Your health care provider will determine the cause of your hyperventilation. Rapid breathing may be a medical emergency you need to get treated, unless you have had this before and your provider has told you that you can treat it on your own.
Often, panic and hyperventilation become a vicious cycle. Panic leads to rapid breathing, and breathing rapidly can make you feel panicked.
If you frequently overbreathe, you may have hyperventilation syndrome that is triggered by emotions of stress, anxiety, depression, or anger. Hyperventilation from panic may be related to a specific fear or phobia, such as a fear of heights, dying, or closed-in spaces (claustrophobia).
If you have hyperventilation syndrome, you might not be aware you are breathing fast. But you will be aware of having many of the other symptoms, including:
- Belching
- Bloating
- Chest pain
- Confusion
- Dizziness
- Dry mouth
- Light-headedness
- Muscle spasms in the hands and feet
- Numbness and tingling in the arms or around the mouth
- Palpitations
- Shortness of breath
- Sleep disturbances
- Weakness
Causes of Hyperventilation
- Anxiety and nervousness
- Bleeding
- Cardiac disease, such as congestive heart failure or heart attack
- Drugs (such as an aspirin overdose)
- Infection such as pneumonia or sepsis
- Ketoacidosis and similar medical conditions
- Lung disease such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or pulmonary embolism
- Panic attack
- Pregnancy
- Severe pain
- Situations where there is a psychological advantage in having a sudden, dramatic illness (for example, somatization disorder)
- Stimulant use
- Stress
Home Care
Your doctor will examine you and see if there are other causes of your overbreathing.
If your doctor has said your hyperventilation is due to anxiety, stress, or panic, there are steps you can take at home. You, your friends, and family can learn techniques to stop it from happening and prevent future attacks.
If you start hyperventilating, the goal is to raise the carbon dioxide level in your blood. This will end most of your symptoms. Ways to do this include:
- Get reassurance from a friend or family member to help relax your breathing. Words like "you are doing fine," "you are not having a heart attack," and "you are not going to die" are very helpful. It is extremely important that the person helping you remain calm and deliver these messages with a soft, relaxed tone.
- To increase your carbon dioxide, you need to take in less oxygen. To accomplish this, you can breathe through pursed lips (as if you are blowing out a candle), or you can cover your mouth and one nostril, and breathe through the other nostril.
Over the long term, measures to help you stop overbreathing include:
- If you have been diagnosed with anxiety or panic, see a psychologist or psychiatrist to help you understand and treat your condition.
- Learn breathing exercises that help you relax and breathe from your diaphragm and abdomen, rather than from your chest wall.
- Practice relaxation techniques regularly, such as progressive muscle relaxation or meditation.
- Exercise regularly.
If these methods alone do not prevent your overbreathing, your doctor may recommend a beta-blocker medication.
When to Contact a Health Professional
Call your health care provider if:
- You are experiencing rapid breathing for the first time. (This is a medical emergency and you should be taken to the emergency room right away.)
- You are in pain, have a fever, or notice any bleeding.
- Your hyperventilation continues or gets worse, even with home treatment.
- You also have other symptoms.
What to Expect at Your Office Visit
Your doctor will perform a careful physical examination. The doctor will also ask detailed questions about your symptoms.
Your breathing will also be checked. If you are not breathing quickly, the doctor may try to cause hyperventilation by telling you to breathe in a certain way.
While you hyperventilate, the doctor will ask how you feel and watch how you breathe. The doctor will see which muscles you are using in your chest wall and surrounding areas.
Tests that may be performed include:
- Blood tests for the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in your blood
- Chest CT scan
- Ventilation/perfusion scan of your lungs
- X-rays of the chest

DePallo currently serves as director and general manager for the Port Authority Trans Hudson Corporation (PATH), a heavy rail subsidiary of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey that transports more than 250,000 passenger trips a day between Manhattan and neighboring New Jersey.
"After a thorough national search, I am confident Michael is the right person to lead Metrolink as it continues to build on progress made in recent years. He has a proven record on safety, leadership and has recently overseen his agency's efforts to modernize their fleet of railcars," said Metrolink Board Chair Richard Katz. "He is familiar with the complex issues that a commuter rail provider faces; that safety is foundational, customer service, funding issues, connectivity and security. In his current role, he is overseeing projects very similar to Metrolink's Positive Train Control, Guardian cars, locomotive upgrades and fare media issues. We look forward to his leadership."
"Metrolink is clearly one of the premier commuter railroads in the country and leads the nation in technological innovations such as Positive Train Control," DePallo said. "It is a true honor to be selected to lead this highly progressive system, and I look forward to the challenge."

Andrew Bellis '14 and Devin Geiman '14 walk similar and very different roads at Gettysburg
Similarities abound between Andrew Bellis '14 and Devin Geiman '14. They chose to come to Gettysburg because of its academic prowess and because they both wanted to play soccer at the collegiate level. Both are among the top students in the senior class with near-perfect GPAs. They are both members of the Lambda Chi fraternity. Even their approach to playing soccer is similar according to former head coach Brett Kelly '03.
"Their cerebral approach to the game is very similar," said Kelly, who coached Bellis and Geiman throughout their collegiate careers. "They do a very good job of not letting emotions get involved in the game. They think of the game as students and try to deal with situations to the best of their ability."
But it's their latest achievement that will make the history books.
Bellis and Geiman were each named Academic All-Americans as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). They are the first Academic All-Americans in the 83-year history of the men's soccer program at Gettysburg.

Maulana Muhammad Ali dalam buku The Religion of Islam, Ahmadiyya Anjuman Isha'at Islam, USA, Sixth Edition (Revised) 1990, menyatakan bahwa Jin dalam Alquran adalah manusia bukan mahluk halus. Untuk terjemahannya anda bisa dapatkan di buku saya diatas. Berikut saya kutipkan tulisan aslinya:
The other use of the word jinn is with regard to men of a certain class1. Even the word devil (shaitan) or devils (shayatin), has been applied to men in the Quran, and the leaders of evil are again and again called devils (2:14; 3:174; 8:48; 15:17; 21:82). But the use of the word jinn when speaking of men was recognized in Arabic literature before Islam. The verses of Musa ibn Jabir "fa ma nafarat jinn", which would literally mean, and my jinn did not flee, has been explained as meaning, "and my companions who were like the jinn did not flee" (Lane's Arabic-English Lexicon). Here the word jinn is clearly explained as meaning human beings. And Tabrezi says, further, that the Arabs liken a man who is sharp and clever in affairs to a jinni and a shaitan. There are other examples in pre-Islamic poetry in which the word jinn has been used to denote great or brave men. In addition to this the word jinn is explained by Arabic lexicologist as meaning mu'azzam al-nas (Qamu, by Allamah Shaikh Nasr al-Huraini, printed at the Maimana Press, Cairo; Taj al-Aru, by Abu-l-Faidz Sayyid Muhammad Murtadza al-Husaini), i.e, the main body of men or the bulk of mankind (Lane's Arabic-English Lexicon). In the mouth of an Arab, the main body of men would mean the non-arabworld. They called all foreigners jinn because they were concealed from their eyes. It is in this sense that the word jinn is used in Quran in the story of Solomon: "And of the jinn there were those who worked before him by command of his lord. They made for him what he pleased of synagogues and images" (34:12-13)2. The desciption of the jinn here as builder show them to have been men. And they are also spoken of as devils (shayatin) in 38:37, where they are called builders and divers and it is further added that some of them "fettered in chains" surely those who build buildings and dived in to the sea were not invisible spirits, nor do invisible spirits required to be fettered in chains. These were in fact the strangers whom Solomon had subjected to his rule and forced into service.
Foonote 1 Some authorities have held the word jinn is also applicable to the angels, but it should be borne in mind that it is in a strictly literal sense that the word has been so used. The literal significance of the word jinn is a being hidden from the human eye, and as the angels are also invisible beings, they may be called jinn in a literal sense. Otherwise they have nothing in common with jinn.
Foonote 2 A comparison with II chron 2:18 would further clear the point: " And he set three-score and ten thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and four-score thousand to be hewers in the mountain".
In one place in the quran jinn and men are addressed as one class or community (ma'shar)3. In this verse both jinn and men are asked the question: "did there not come to you messengers from among you?" Now the messengers who are mentioned in the quran or tradition all belong to mankind, and the holy book does not speak of a single messenger from among the jinn. The jinn in this case, therefore are either non-arabs or the iniquitous leaders who mislead others. In one verse, it is stated that "if jinn and men should combine together to bring the like of Quran they could not bring the like of it" (17:88) while in another in an exactly similar challenge the expression " your helpers" or "leaders" have been used instead of jinn (2:23). The jinn mentioned in the first section of ch. 72 are evidently foreign Christian since they are spoken of as holding the doctrine sonship (72:3,4). In 72:6, they are called rijal (pl. of rajul), which word is applicable to the males of human beings only (LA.). Again, in the 46th chapter the word jin has been used in the sense of foreigner when a party of the jinn is stated to have come to the the prophet and listened to holy book and believe in it4, because all the injunction contain in the quran are for men and there is not one for the jinn. This was evidently a party of the jews of Nisibus as reports show, and the quran speaks of them as believers in moses5. Commenting on this incident Ibn Kathir had quotes several reports from the Musnad of Ahmad, which establish the following facts. The prophet met a party of jinn at Nakla when returning from ta'if in the tenth year of call. These are said to have come from Nineveh. On the other hand, there is a well-established story that the prophet on his way back from Ta'if took rest in a garden where he met a Christian who was a resident of Nineveh; and the man listened to his message and believed in him. It may be that he had other companions to whom he spoke of the prophet, and that these came to him later on. Another party of jinn is said to have waited on him when he was at mekkah and he is reported to have gone out of the city to a lonely place at night time, and to have spent the whole night with them. And we are told that their traces and the the traces of fire which they had burned during the night were visible in the morning. When payer time came and the prophet said his prayers in the company of ibn mas'ud the narrator two of them them are said to have come and joined the service. They are supposed to have been Jews of Nisibus and were seven in number (IK. 46:29). The prophet went to see them outside Makkah, evidently because the Quraish would have interfered with the meeting and ill-treated any who came to seehim. At any rate the quran and tradition do not speak of the jinn as they exist in the popular imagination, interfering in human affairs or controlling the forces of nature or assuming human or any other shape or taking possession of men and women and affecting them with certain disease6.
Foonote 3 "O community (ma'shar) of jinn and men, did there not come to you messengers from among you, relating to you My messages and warning you of the meeting of this day of yours?" (6:131). Ma'shar is a class or community whose affair is one (Lisan al-Arab, by ImamAllama Abu-l-Fadzl Jamal al-Din Muhammad ibn Mukarram).
Foonote 4 "And when we turned towards there a party of the jinn, who listened to the Quran. Then when it was finished they turned back to their people warning them" (46:29).
Foonote 5 "They said: "O our people, we have herad a book revealed after Moses, verifying that which is before it, guiding to the truth and to the right path" (46:30).
Foonote 6 Such ideas are unfortunately associated with the existence of jinn in the Gospel. The stories of Jesus casting out devils are more wondrous than fairy tales: "and devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the son of God" (Lk. 4:41). A devil was cast out of adumb man and he began to speak (Mathew 9:33); a woman from Canaan had a daughter possessed with the devil and Jesus at first refused to cast out the devil because she was not an Israelie (Mathew 15:22-24); as many as seven devils went out of mary Megdalene (Lk. 8:2); the devils cast out of another two men were bsufficient for a whole herd of swine: "They went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a step place into the sea, and perished in the waters" (Mt. 8:32). And this power of casting out devils was given to all those who believed in Jesus (Mark. 16:17).

The VADASE team (from left): Augusto Mazzoni, Mattia Crespi, and Gabriele Colosimo.
La Sapienza/VADASE.
The concept behind VADASE (Variometric Approach for Displacement Analysis Standalone Engine) is based on the integration of novel software and a marketstandard, single-frequency GNSS sensor. For real-time analysis, VADASE utilises phase changes in the GNSS signals it receives to ascertain seismic movements. Since this method is relative (hence "variometric"), it can be deployed in any location.
The VADASE team carried out various tests and simulations on Earth movements along with scientists from the DLR Institute of Communications and Navigation. With the help of a "vibration table", they purposely set a GPS receiver antenna to oscillating in order to evaluate the results of VADASE's algorithms.
VADASE stands for Variometric Approach for Displacement Analysis Standalone Engine.
In October 2010, the VADASE project – submitted by a team from the Sapienza University of Rome – took home the ESNC special prize of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). This prize included a voucher for DLR technical services to aid the team to continue the development and systematic implementation of their idea. The project has since produced an innovative procedure for analysing tectonic movements in a fast, flexible, easy-to-implement fashion.
For further development of their idea, which won the special prize awarded from DLR Technology Marketing, Mattia Crespi, Gabriele Colosimo, and Augusto Mazzoni received support from the DLR Institute of Communications and Navigation in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany. In addition to its expertise, the institute has been providing the team with a broad range of infrastructure for simulations, lab tests, and measurement activities. All the team's hard work recently culminated in the joint project's completion. "It was an unbelievable experience; I never would have thought we could take VADASE so far," reports a pleased Mattia Crespi, who hails from the Department of Civil, Constructional, and Environmental Engineering at Sapienza.
Relative, not absolute
VADASE (Variometric Approach for Displacement Analysis Standalone Engine) enables users to observe areas at risk of earthquakes and tsunamis, as well as monitor individual bridges and buildings, based on the integration of novel software and a market-standard, single-frequency GNSS sensor. For real-time analysis, VADASE utilises phase changes in the GNSS signals it receives to ascertain seismic movements. Since this method is relative (hence "variometric"), it can be deployed in any location; a complex network of sensors for absolute positioning is not required.
Successful collaboration
While the basic procedure used to access only GPS data, VADASE's algorithms have since been extended to take advantage of Europe's satellite navigation system, Galileo. It is also possible to integrate GLONASS navigation signals, which enables VADASE to process signals from multisystem constellations and provide higher levels of accuracy, availability, and reliability. In addition, the Italian team was able to perform more detailed examinations on and eliminate some of the ramifications of certain disruptive effects. The real-time performance of the new procedure was also confirmed during the project, which led to VADASE's incorporation into EVnet – DLR's experimentation and verification network for assessing the performance of global satellite navigation systems.
Right now, the developers are in discussions with a manufacturer about integrating the VADASE approach directly into firmware for a receiver. Equipped with this new technology, independent, portable devices could soon be available to provide tsunami warnings in real time.

PHOENIX (AP) -- Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was in Phoenix on Thursday amid calls for her resignation.
The controversy is over the clunky rollout of insurance exchanges under President Barack Obama's health care law.
The former Kansas governor is the Obama administration's public point person on the health law's implementation.
Computer problems have kept many consumers from signing up through new online markets.
Sebelius says they're working 24-7 to make the federal website better, nobody has been fired over technical glitches and a lot of the problems were caused by a surge in demand.
She says she doesn't work for the people calling for her to step down.
Sebelius toured a Phoenix HHS call center and talk with "navigators" who have been trained to educate people about enrolling for coverage.

Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller will have surgery on his throwing shoulder on Feb. 21, according to multiple media outlets, and will not be at full strength for upcoming spring practices.
According to the Columbus Dispatch, the surgery will be an arthroscopic procedure on his right shoulder. It will limit his activity in spring practices, which begins March 4.
Miller injured his shoulder during Ohio State's 40-35 loss to Clemson in the Orange Bowl in January.
Miller was in Chicago earlier this week, where he was presented the Chicago Tribune Silver Football Award as the Big Ten MVP this past season.
�You�ve got to take time for rest after a football season like that, but my body is well, it�s rested,� Miller said in The Dispatch report. �It�s ready to get motivated again and get back out there on the field.�
As a junior, Miller threw for 2,094 yards and 24 touchdowns. He also ran for 1,068 yards and 12 touchdowns despite missing nearly three full games with a knee injury.
With Miller limited in spring practices, Ohio State will turn the reins of the high-powered offense over to three other scholarship quarterbacks � sophomore Cardale Jones, redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett and true freshman Stephen Collier.
In limited action backing up Miller and Kenny Guiton, Jones completed 1 of 2 passes for 3 yards last season. He also ran 17 times for 128 yards and a touchdown.


text: 03/12/2013 (09:30PM - 10:00PM) (Tuesday) : OH BOY... OR GIRL - SHANNEN DOHERTY ("90210") GUEST STARS -- Despite wanting to be surprised, Bryan (Andrew Rannells) and David (Justin Bartha) accidentally find out the sex of their baby. The slip brings one dad-to-be closer to his dream family -- minus marrying Brenda Walsh (guest star Shannen Doherty, "90210") -- but creates a growing concern for the other that he won't know how to connect with his child. Elsewhere, a rousing performance by Shania (Bebe Wood) during a school assembly stirs Goldie (Georgia King), reminding her that she still has dreams that she needs to pursue. Later, when Shania's choice of material not only gets her a poor grade, but also a suspension, Goldie dons her "lawyer suit" and goes to the school to defend her daughter.

The Chatham County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in locating two missing sex offenders.
Click here to view our interactive map and database of Coastal Georgia sexual offenders, including mugshots and offense details.
Christopher Aaron Walter, 30, was under monitoring by the Georgia Department of Correction Probation Division. He was convicted in 2002 in Georgia for enticing a child for indecent purposes and has been labeled a sexual predator by the state.
Michelle Gavin, sheriff's office spokeswoman, said Walter disabled his electronic ankle monitor on Nov. 13 and his probation officer took out a warrant for his arrest on Nov. 14.
Probation officers notified the U.S. Marshal Service Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force and the Chatham County Sheriff's Office Sex Offender Registration and Tracking Unit. All three agencies have now exhausted all leads.
Walter is a homeless man who registered as a sex offender with the sheriff's office on Sept. 12 and indicated he was living under the Talmadge Bridge near the Oglethorpe bus station. Walter has no known family members in the Savannah area.
Kyle Lamont Gadson, 41, was convicted of rape in 1992. Gadson was last seen at the Chatham County Sheriff's Office on July 23 when he came to the SORT Unit for his annual sex offender registration. SORT investigators went to verify his home address on Oct. 4 and Gadson's father said he did not live there.
The sheriff's office issued a Recorder's Court warrant on Oct. 15 and has exhausted all leads in trying to locate Gadson, Gavin said. The U.S. Marshals have also been assisting in this search.
If you have any information about the whereabouts of Walter or Gadson contact the sheriff's office SORT unit at 912-656-5715 or contact CrimeStoppers at 912-234-2020 or call 911.

ALLEN PARK >> Quite often in NFL preseason games, the play is never as bad or quite as good as it looks.
That goes for Lions' backup quarterback Dan Orlovsky who shed his rust and had a better performance in the Lions' late Friday 27-26 loss to the Raiders at Oakland.
Orlovsky, entering his 10th NFL season, completed 8 of 12 attempts for 153 yards and a 109.7 quarterback rating in Oakland. That compares to 12 of 23 for 89 yards and a 61.7 rating in the win over Cleveland on Aug. 9.
"No matter years you play the first time you're out in live bullets it's different,'' Orlovsky said after Saturday afternoon's walk-through. "The week before a couple drops, a couple pressures, a couple throw-aways and we didn't have any of those on (Friday). It looks more efficient and what not, another good step.
"Guys made plays, we protected pretty well and we got the ball downfield a little more. We didn't do that much and part of that is Cleveland doesn't allow it defensively and Oakland does a little more schematically,'' he added.
In week one, it appeared that Kellen Moore, who has never taken a regular season NFL snap, played better than Orlovsky. At the Raiders, Orlovsky improved.
Caldwell has had faith in Orlovsky who has replaced Shaun Hill with the Lions. The two worked together when Caldwell was head coach of the Indianapolis Colts.
"You know we expect the best from all of our guys. You know, I've been around Dan, Dan's a real competitor, and he works extremely hard at his craft,'' Caldwell said. "And we know he has it in him to play, and play well. And I think he demonstrated that last night, but we still have two more games to go in the preseason and see how things go."
Orlovsky knows there is still work to do.
"The reality for me is I was a fifth-round pick so I've been competing for a job since I came into this league. I think everyone has that mindset,'' Orlovsky said.
He didn't tear himself up over his performance in week one.
"To be honest with you, the first week, it's the first week of preseason for a reason,'' said Orlovsky who also played for the Lions from 2005 to 2008.
"I can watch the tape and I can see what we did well and what we didn't do well,'' Orlovsky said. "And like I said, I don't walk away going 'Oh my goodness what am I doing?'' We had four throwaways, three or four drops. We didn't have those (Friday) that looks better, it executes better, you're in more of a rhythm which is nice. I'm not going to walk away from this game saying 'Hey put me in Canton, Ohio, either.' it was a step in the right direction which is good.''
The Lions have Sunday off and will return to work on Monday to start preparation for the Jacksonville Jaguars, the opponent for Friday night's game at Ford Field.

LEXINGTON—A federal jury convicted the former president of a Lexington-based company today for defrauding thousands of investors nationwide out of more than $18 million.
The jury convicted 66-year-old James Norman Turek of eight counts of securities fraud and five counts of tax fraud following a two-week trial. After the jury returned the guilty verdict, Chief Judge Jennifer B. Coffman found that Turek was a flight risk, and he was taken into custody by the United States Marshals Service.
The evidence at trial showed that Turek headed Plasticon International Inc., a penny stock company. Plasticon made recycled plastic products but had few sales.
According to the evidence, from 2004 to 2006, Turek lured approximately 8,500 investors to purchase Plasticon stock by falsely claiming that Plasticon was profitable when he knew that the company was losing millions of dollars. In statements to investors and in press releases, Turek also falsely claimed that the company owned valuable patents.
The evidence further showed that Turek told investors that he was working for nothing when he was stealing millions of dollars from Plasticon. Turek stole the money by issuing billions of shares of company stock to himself. He claimed on false and backdated documents that he had previously loaned money to the company. In order to execute his scheme, Turek transferred the stock into the names of friends and family members, including his deceased aunt, before selling the stock to unsuspecting investors.
The evidence also revealed that Turek filed false tax returns for the years 2003 through 2007 by failing to report approximately $12 million that he stole from Plasticon.
Kerry B. Harvey, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky; Kathryn M. Keneally, Assistant Attorney General for the Tax Division; Perrye Turner, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation; and Christopher A. Henry, Special Agent in Charge, Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation Division, jointly made the announcement today.
The investigation was conducted by the FBI and the IRS Criminal Investigation Division. The United States was represented at trial by Department of Justice Trial Attorney Kenneth C. Vert and Assistant United States Attorney John Patrick Grant.
Turek is scheduled for sentencing on September 27, 2012. He faces a maximum prison sentence of 20 years on each count of securities fraud and three years on each count of tax fraud. However, the court must consider the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and the applicable federal statutes before imposing the sentence.
