The casts of The Commitments and Cats issued a "call to arms" to theatreland today, urging it to get behind the Evening Standard's Comic Relief campaign.
Nicole Scherzinger, 36, who is playing feline Grizabella in the long-running musical at the London Palladium, joined stage colleagues as they donned red noses.
Meanwhile the cast of the hit musical about a Dublin soul band sported a variety of wacky hairstyles.
This year, the Standard is asking Londoners to "make your hair funny for money" on Red Nose Day — March 13 — to raise thousands of pounds for the charity.
Speaking as they posed on stage at the Palace Theatre, The Commitments cast said they hoped other West End shows would follow suit.
Natalie Hope, Sarah O'Connor, 25, Denis Grindel, 24, and Brian Gilligan, 27, said Londoners "shouldn't take themselves too seriously" and embrace having funny hair.
Hope, 31, who plays Natalie in the show, said: "We're calling on all other West End shows to back this excellent campaign. As one of the first to get involved, we're throwing down the gauntlet to all the other casts. Maybe they could recreate their posters with wigs on or something, and post the pictures on Twitter. Anything to get involved."
O'Connor, 25, who stars as Imelda, added: "I'd say to Londoners that life is too short to take yourself too seriously. Our show is all about that — so it's very fitting. So do something silly with your hair and have fun. Make an idiot out of yourself. It's for such a good cause."
Grindel, 24, who plays Jimmy, suggested the capital's natives would not have to put in too much effort to transform their hairdos: "Londoners seem to have stupid haircuts anyway.
"I don't think many would need to change them much. Pretty much just get up and go. And you're supporting Comic Relief."
Gilligan, 27, who plays the character of Deco, added: "Comic Relief fundraises for so many fantastic charities in both Africa and the UK. It is good for people to be charitable and give some money to people who need it."
Cats star Callum Train, 26, who plays Munkustrap, said: "I'd call on Londoners to watch the programme, donate and do something to their hair on Red Nose Day. What's wrong with looking silly for money? Surely that's the best way to do it.
"I'd absolutely issue a calls to arms and ask everyone in London and all of the West End to get behind this campaign."
Mr Train said he supported Comic Relief as it "raised money for great causes", adding: "I have been involved many times as it raises so much money for some well-deserving and fantastic charities. It's great that I can help by working in the theatre. It's fantastic to use that to raise money."
On working with former X Factor judge Scherzinger, he added: "It is a dream to work with Nicole. She is amazing and we don't have a seat in the house for months. Performing to that many people every night is just incredible."
This is the fourth time that the Standard's Dispossessed Fund has joined forces with Comic Relief, and its partner charity Sport Relief, to raise money for Londoners in poverty.
It has resulted in cash injections of £3 million to our fund, with the money funding 203 grassroots projects tackling social exclusion across the capital.

hi i got myself a 1994 chevy k1500 and repainted it. i backed it out of the garage no problem. then my friends and me decided it would b cool to see the new truck do a burnout,so i powerbraked it until there was nothing left of my tires. i went to back it up to put it in the other part of the garage and i had no reverse..forward works just fine though any ideas..i was just filling in some blanks i left out..there was no tranny wrk done to it just body. there is 185 thousnd on the drive train the fluids look and smell okay and when i was movin it around the other day it seemes like all fourward gears were fine even second and overdrive thats why i wanted some advice b4 i tore into it
Mileage on this transmission?
Any recent repair work or just re-paintin the body? :D
I need to know IF all 4 forward gears work...
With reverse gone , the drive shell may have broken off splines.. this will result in NO reverse , no 2nd gear and no over drive ( 4th )
hows the fluid look and smell ?
if its anything besides nice red and doesnt smell like good trans fluid then its probably just old and tired and worn out.
doing burnouts and such isnt exactly a good way to keep a tranny alive, especially in stock from.
and the model trans you have, especially.
good luck!

Lara (Brunie) was promoted to Expert Lv.1, after training Hermes (Ramiro) to Lv.100. Ishtar (Valleria) reached Veteran Lv.4.
Adorabelle (f/ele) re-enchanted her +6 The Delphinus (LOE bracelet) to ATK + ATK Rating, using another 131 Veteran Enchantment Chips and Enchant Boosters. It was then successfully upgraded to +7, using 40 Upgrade Accelerators and 4 Lacquers +6: Expert. Her new armor was enchanted with DEF Rating +3 after 2 Enchantment Chips and Enchant Boosters. The extra Evasion seemed kind of useless on robes though. It was upgraded to +7 after using 240 Upgrade Accelerators, 5 Lacquers +5: Veteran, and 8 Lacquers +6: Veteran. The 2nd socket was opened after 10 attempts.
The raids for this week yielded Symbol of Pisces, Symbol of Virgo, and Le Noir (mus) Recipe from Team Arena, Lightning Gun and Artisan's Shoe Recipe from Lightning Gate, Elite Destruction of Steel (great sword) from Joaquin Underground Prison, Symbol of Pisces and Symbol of Cancer from Griffon, and Le Noir (ele) Recipe from Swamp Angler. The family was being flooded with Honor Cards and Ancient Star Orb Boxes. Well, at least that great sword looks really nice. I have always liked its shape. The Masters also returned to Castilla Tower of Chaos for more Lv.84 Elite Equipment and Pure Gold Bars. Someone in the squad managed to "kite" Jellyfish (Lv.150 Golem).
I'm finding the Castilla Exploration Recruit Soldier in Coimbra to be a bit of a nuisance. She talks way too much. You need to click 3 times and select 3 options just to move to Castilla Garrison 1. It's just so troublesome. After the first time you talked to her, she should just skip all that introductory text and go straight to something simple like "Move to Castilla Garrison 1? Yes/No".
The family experienced 3 disconnections this week.

Ossie Ardiles believes sacking Tim Sherwood will not solve Tottenham's problems and has blamed the players for the club's indifferent form this season.
Despite moving the Lilywhites up a position to 6th in the Premier League since taking over from Andre Villas-Boas in December, Sherwood is widely expected to leave at the end of the season.
Villas-Boas was sacked after a run of mixed results which saw Spurs begin to lose touch with the top four, the final straw being a 5-0 defeat at to Liverpool at White Hart Lane.
The Tottenham hierarchy's desperation to return to the Champions League for the first time since the 2010-2011 season appeared to motivate the decision.
But despite Sherwood's failure to lead Tottenham to a top-four finish, Ardiles, a former player and manager with the North London club, does not feel the constant changing of manger is helping the club.
"When we started this season we were full of optimism, but somehow it has been very disappointing," the Argentine told the talkSPORT Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.
"I believe that the players we have brought in this season have been the problem. They are not performing the way we expected. I don't want to name names, but basically all the people we have bought. This is a serious, serious problem.
"At the end of the day, whoever the manager is, AVB earlier in the season and later on Tim, there is not a lot you can do with the kind of players we have right now."
Ardiles added that whoever manages Spurs next season will have a big rebuilding job on their hands.Reuse content

Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX
PURPOSE: Caregivers play a significant role in the day-to-day management of patients with COPD and may influence clinical decision making. Nebulization is an effective mode of drug delivery for select patients with COPD; however, there are often negative perceptions related to its use in COPD. We evaluated caregivers' attitudes and perceptions relating to the use of nebulization for the management of COPD.
METHODS: 400 caregivers of patients currently receiving nebulized therapy were randomly selected from a commercially available sample of self-identified COPD households across the United States. Caregivers were interviewed via telephone and asked questions about their attitudes and perceptions towards nebulization for their friend/family member with COPD. Caregiver's responses (on behalf of their friend or family member) were assessed on the basis of 3 domains: perception of severity of symptoms, satisfaction with nebulization therapy, and benefits and challenges. The caregiver role was also evaluated. The survey was commissioned by the COPD Foundation and Dey Pharma, L.P., and executed by KRC Research.
RESULTS: The majority of caregivers (63%) were female and ≥65 years of age. Most caregivers (62%) identified themselves as the spouse of the person with COPD, with 54% playing a "significant (major or moderate) role" in the patient's nebulization therapy. The caregivers reported that nebulization "made it easier to care for their friend/family member" (86%), "improved their friend/family member's quality of life" (82%), and that the "benefits of nebulization outweighed any difficulties" (85%). Further, 65% "wished that their friend/family member had been placed on nebulized therapy sooner.".
CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that caregivers positively view the role of nebulization therapy for the care of their friends/family members. Overall, these data do not support the current negative perception that nebulization may be too cumbersome for the patient and/or caregiver.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Caregivers play a significant role in the day-to-day management of patients with COPD. Clinicians should consider caregiver perceptions when choosing a system to deliver inhaled medications for their patients with COPD.

Copy or not. The M&P is far superior in my opinion to the Glock.
Now Glock is copying S&W with interchangeable back straps to get away from their BRICk of a grip...
I am sure S&W is not the first firearm manufacture to copy or replicate a competitors design. And why is it such a big deal to begin with??? This happens in EVERY single industry in the world. Cars, Phones, ATV's the service industry... it goes on and on. Nobody has a proprietary product design for long, I don't care what you are making. If your competition see's it as a threat they will do one of two things. Make a close copy or try to improve the design.
That's just the business world and for those that cant figure that out and hate S&W for it are naive.

It's All About the Details...
I am definitely the Yin to the creative team's Yang, but you need both for good balance, right?!
You can see the balancing act in action when our creatives brainstorm an amazing design concept and start talking fonts, style, colours and moodboards and my mind automatically starts ticking over the tasks, budget and deadlines associated with getting the fantastic design concept to the finished product for the client. Although I appreciate and love all things design and style, for me, it's all about the details.
Loving the data analysis of website performance and the cause and effect of SEO, I also help look after the Digital Marketing side of BA. This year I have become certified in Google Analytics and Google AdWords and am now completing some extra courses in Digital Marketing too! I'm loving the challenge of learning and putting into practice the skills I have gained, but nothing beats the feeling of seeing our client's businesses grow and succeed from the work we do for them.
When I'm not looking after the details of jobs at BA Creative, you'll find me playing netball, going to the movies, reading books, hanging out with my family, doing yoga (or at least trying to) and catching up with friends which almost always involves a glass of nice champagne and lots of laughs.

In Blue Collar, Paul Schraders strong directorial debut, three assembly-line auto workers (Richard Pryor in one of his only serious dramatic roles, Harvey Keitel, and Yaphet Kotto) are equally angry and disenchanted at factory management and their own union. They are also, as the film reveals in long, detailed vignettes, struggling just to make ends meet. As they ruminate together on their dead-end jobs and the fears of a dead-end life, they eventually plan to burglarise their unions safe. The catch - instead of finding cash as expected, they find ledgers documenting mob transactions. The relationship of the three friends is tested in the aftermath of this now-complex heist that was supposed to free the men from their torturous existence but instead has created more conflict in their lives. Pryor and Keitel are outstanding in this searing drama that looks at factory conditions and, more to the point, the condition of the male spirit when sacked with a hard, boring job that can barely support a family.

If you want an indication of how the Cubs rebuild is coming, compare the opening day rosters at Iowa the last two years—its quite a stark contrast. In 2013, the roster was filled with former MLB journeymen looking to get back into the bigs. The Cubs front office ran 62 different players (half spent time in MLB) through the AAA affiliate, involving 172 transactions.
This year's roster is littered with the Cubs top prospects including SS Javier Baez, 2B Arismendy Alcantara, 3B Christian Villanueva, and a bevy of arms fighting to get to the big leagues. Kyle Hendricks, the Cubs 2013 Minor League Pitcher of the Year, headlines the pitching staff, which includes several arms on the verge of Chicago's bullpen.
During an interview this spring, Cubs President Theo Epstein was asked why he didn't give the Cubs fans a cookie and bring up Javier Baez. Epstein essentially said they weren't interested in giving cookies, rather preparing the entire meal that will be enjoyed every October. Well, if that's true, Iowa will serve as a delicious test kitchen this summer. Enjoy the feast.
Here's a look at the roster. If you click on the players name it will link you his player page with links to pictures as well as video and other stories, including profiles on close to 100 prospects.
Kyle Hendricks—The right-hander made a case for the starting rotation in Mesa but returns to AAA after making six starts last year. Iowa will serve him well as he needs to log innings against top level hitting. Named the Cubs Minor League Pitcher of the Year in '13, Hendricks was one of the top arms in the Southern League, sporting a 1.85 ERA in 126 innings. He spent the off-season earning his diploma from Dartmouth.
Chris Rusin—One of the last cuts from the Cubs roster this spring, Rusin made 13 starts for Chicago in 2013 with a respectable 3.93 ERA in 66.1 innings. He started the season in Iowa, making 18 starts and logging 121 innings before the promotion. He tossed 12 straight shutout innings this spring but got shelled for four homers and nine runs in his final outing. He could be the first arm called up if one of the Cubs starters gets hurt.
Dallas Beeler—A finger injury shelved Beeler's 2013 campaign at Tennessee after nine starts (4-2, 3.13 ERA, 54.2 IP) but after a strong performance in the Arizona Fall League (4-1, 2.49 ERA, 21.2 IP), was added to the 40-man roster. The 24-year-old appeared in four spring training games, allowing 14 hits in 10.2 innings. The right-hander throws a fastball in the low 90s and is also developing a split-finger. Beeler will start the year on DL.
Eric Jokisch—The left-hander was impressive this spring in Mesa as he didn't allow a six innings of work, yielding three hits and two walks with five punchouts. He tossed a no-hitter last year for Tennessee against Jacksonville and made 26 starts, logging 160.2 innings with a 3.242 ERA. Command is Jokisch's best weapon but needs to keep the ball down.
Carlos Pimentel—Added as a minor league free agent in the off-season, Pimentel was named the Dominican Winter League Pitcher of the Year after going 5-0 with a 1.67 ERA in seven starts. Pimentel spent the last seven seasons in the Rangers organization and was named a Texas League All-Star last season. With the Cubs success with Rangers prospects, wouldn't surprise me if Pimentel had a big year in Iowa.
Zac Rosscup—The forgotten man in the Matt Garza trade when he came from Tampa Bay, Rosscup made the leap from AA to the big leagues in 2013 as the left-handed reliever had a breakout season. Appearing in 10 games for Chicago, Rosscup only allowed one run in 6.2 innings and fanned seven. He recorded 66 K in in 43.1 innings at AA and only appeared in nine games for Iowa before heading to Wrigley Field.
Marcus Hatley—The 6-foot-5 righty split last season between Tennessee and Iowa, and then finished up in the Mexican Winter League. Hatley is another power bullpen arm the Cubs have collected as the roster spots at Iowa have become competitive.
Neil Ramirez—Acquired as part of the Mat Garza trade with Texas, Ramirez provides the Cubs with another power arm option and has experience out of the bullpen and as a starter. Once considered one of eh top arms in the rangers system, Ramirez has battled threw arm injuries the past two seasons but looked good this spring in big league games, throwing seven shutout innings in 7.2 frames with 11 K.
Yoanner Negrin—The 30-year-old Cuban gives Iowa some versatility as he has the ability to work out of the pen or as a starter. Negrin is an interesting pitcher as he used several different arm angles and can hit 95 on his fastball. Negrin threw 108 innings for the I-Cubs last year with 118 punchouts.
Blake Parker—The right-hander had a great season for the Cubs after being called up from Iowa, recording 55 K in 46.1 innings with a 2.72 ERA in 49 games. He earned his first MLB save agains the Mariners on June 29 and got his first win at St. Louis on Aug. 10. Parker should be one of the first arms called up this year and it was a surprise to many he didn't make the opening day roster.
Marcos Mateo—The Dominican native was a Rule 5 selection by the Diamondbacks in December and returned to the Cubs at the end of spring training. Mateo found his groove in the Dominican Winter League after recovering from arm issues in '13, splitting time between Tennessee and Iowa.
Alberto Cabrera—One of the last pitchers cut from the Cubs 25-man roster, Cabrera was out of options, cleared waivers, and has been assigned to the I-Cubs for the second year. Cabrera started last year in Tennessee's rotation but a mid-season promotion put him in Iowa's bullpen. Cabrera earned a September big league call-up, appearing in seven games.
Tsuyoshi Wada —The former Japanese all-star ended up in Iowa after being released by the Cubs and re-signed in spring training. The left-hander pitched in AAA in the Orioles organization in '13 (5-6 102 IP, 4.03 ERA) and signed with the Cubs after Baltimore opted out of the second year of his deal. He pitched nine seasons in Japan, logging nearly 1,500 innings.
Jonathan Sanchez—The left-hander with a MLB no-hitter on his resume is trying to make a comeback with the Cubs after signing a minor league deal. The former Giant star didn't miss many bats in nine spring training games, allowing 10 runs and 11 hits in 8.1 innings.
Eli Whiteside—A great addition to the organization as the former Giant has plenty of big league experience handling top level pitching. He caught 67 games for the Rangers organization at AAA last season and played in 82 games in San Francisco after Buster Poesy got hurt in 2011.
Luis Flores—His seventh season in the Cubs system, Flores returns for his second year at Iowa as he appeared in 61 games for the I-Cubs (.204/.295/.325). The 27-year-old launched five homers last year and was a Cubs 7th round pick in 2008.
Javier Baez—First time Baez leaves a game early or gets a hug from a teammate in the dugout, social media will be on fire with rumors. Be patient Cubs fans, the 20-year-old has some work to do. First off, he needs to become educated on the finer points at shortstop and slow the game down on defense. Pitch recognition and working counts are also on Baez's to do list when he heads to the plate. He has the tools to be an everyday shortstop but with his ability to hit 40 homers at the next level, the sky is the limit. Enjoy I-Cub fans, he should stick around until July or maybe even early August.
Arismendy Alcantara—A career year coupled with a long homer in the Futures All-Star game propelled the 22-year-old middle infielder to a Top 100 MiLB prospect in 2013. The Dominican native must now show he can duplicate his '13 performance at a higher level. He also needs to put together better at-bats from the right-side of the plate as well as improve his defense and focus at second base. Alcantara's endurance will be another thing to keep an eye on as he slowed down at the end of 2013 in what amounted to his first true full season in the minors.
Christian Villanueva—Considered the top AA third baseman after his All-Star season at Tennessee, the 22-year-old led the league in doubles, extra base hits, and total bases while playing "gold glove" defense. He's beginning to silence the critics that questioned his bat and has the defensive skills to play the hot corner at the big league level. Needs to have a solid year in the PCL to put his name in the hat for third at Wrigley.
Lars Anderson—A former top prospect in the Red Sox organization, Anderson, 26, will see plenty of time at first base for the I-Cubs as the left-handed power hitter spent '13 with the White Sox's AAA affiliate before being released in July. He hit .317 with 18 HR in 2008 and reached AA by age 20 but has struggled since.
Chris Valaika—Another off-season free agent pick-up, Valaika made the Marlins opening day roster a season ago but broke his wrist, headed to the DL, and finished in AAA. A former third-round pick of the Reds in 2006, Valaika provides infield depth at Iowa and Chicago. He played in 19 games this spring, hitting .225 with 4 RBI.
Logan Watkins—The Cubs Minor League Player of the Year in 2012, Watkins returns to Iowa for his second season after an August call-up to Wrigley. The Kansas native didn't get much play time for the North Siders, something that didn't go unnoticed by the front office who criticized Dale Sveum for not getting the second baseman more looks. With Alcantara on the roster, Watkins will need to make the most of his playing time.
Matt Szczur—The two-sport star from Villanova flashed his leather in spring training, making several highlight catches in big league games. Ranked #24 by Northsiders Report, Szczur hit leadoff for the Smokies in '13 with a slash line of (.281/.350/.367) and was third in the Southern League with 78 runs. He was named a mid-season and post-season SL all-star.
Chris Coghlan—The 2009 NL Rookie of the Year played in 70 games for the Marlins last year and was one of several outfielders the Cubs signed to a minor league deal during the off-season. Coghlan was in the mix for a job in spring training but Ryan Kalish earned the spot. He provides veteran insurance if an outfielder on the big league roster is injured.
Brett Jackson—Jackson's time with the Cubs may be running out as he tries to get his game back and keep his spot on the 40-man roster. The former first-round pick made his MLB debut in 2012 but really struggled last year, hitting .210 with 121 strikeouts in 324 at-bats. He needs to find a way to get back on track as his numbers have been in decline since 2011.
Josh Vitters—No longer considered a third baseman, Vitters will be learning a new position in Iowa, maybe two, as he is expected to transfer to left field and could see some time at first base. His bat is still his best tool and if he can stay healthy (four stints on DL in '13) could revive his career as he was once considered the Cubs' top prospect after being the fifth overall selection in 2009.

JS Tarka occupies a unique place in the history of regionalism and nationalism in Nigeria among Nigeria's historical greats: Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Zik; while also in a class of his own. In this book, the author reveals a political enigma and leader, his exemplary vision, aura, political sagacity, transformational charismatic leadership and the attractive personality that endeared him to his political contemporaries and the masses of the geographical geopolitical area referred to as Middle Belt. Joseph Sarwuan Tarka, the father of the Middle Belt politics, while he lived, pursued the good of his people in every way he could. His belief in political alliance and unity were central to the unity of the North and its political domination of that historic era. Unity was his religion, what he lived, fought, and died for. He was a great man whose contributions to Nigeria's development were remarkable. It would not be an understatement to say that JS was the founder of the National Party of Nigeria and was able to bring all the minorities in Nigeria within the party. The entire Western Nigeria was won by UPN, the East by NPP, and the far North by PRP and GNPP. Shagari's presidency was decided by the minorities in Nigeria because of Tarka. From opposition politics to national statesmanship, Joseph Tarka grew to become one of Nigeria's historic greats. He remains one of Nigeria's greatest men.

Temporal range: Middle Jurassic - Late Jurassic, 164–145.5 Ma
|Life restoration of Anurognathus ammoni
|Scientific classification
Nopcsa, 1928
|Type species
|Anurognathus ammoni
Döderlein, 1923
The Anurognathidae were a group of small pterosaurs, with short tails or tailless, that lived in Europe, Asia, and possibly North America during the Jurassic period. Four genera are known: Anurognathus, from the Late Jurassic of Germany, Jeholopterus, from the Middle to Late Jurassic of China,[1] Dendrorhynchoides, from the Middle Jurassic[2] of China, and Batrachognathus, from the Late Jurassic of Kazakhstan. Bennett (2007) claimed that the holotype of Mesadactylus, BYU 2024, a synsacrum, belonged to an anurognathid.[3] Mesadactylus is from the Late Jurassic Morrison Formation of the United States. Indeterminate anurognathid remains have also been reported from the Middle Jurassic Bakhar Svita of Mongolia.[4][5]
A family Anurognathidae was named in 1928 by Franz Nopcsa von Felső-Szilvás (as the subfamily Anurognathinae) with Anurognathus as the type genus. The family name Anurognathidae was first used by Oskar Kuhn in 1967. Both Alexander Kellner and David Unwin in 2003 defined the group as a node clade: the last common ancestor of Anurognathus and Batrachognathus and all its descendants.
The phylogeny of the Anurognathidae is uncertain. Some analyses, as those of Kellner, place them very basal in the pterosaur tree. However, they do have some characteristics in common with the derived Pterodactyloidea, such as the short and fused tail bones. In 2010 an analysis by Brian Andres indicated the Anurognathidae and the Pterodactyloidea were sister taxa. This conforms better to the fossil record because no early anurognathids are known and would require a ghost lineage of over sixty million years.[6]
Anurognathids are often believed to have been nocturnal or crepuscular akin to bats; The fact that many anurognathids have large eye-sockets supports the theory of living in darkness. Anurognathid teeth suggest they were insectivorous, though some may have had more prey-choices, such as Jeholopterus who is also believed to have been a fish-eater (and was even considered to be a bloodsucker, but this is unlikely).

New Delhi, Nov 13 (UNI) The Delhi Cabinet today gave its nod for construction of a 750 bed hospital at Dwarka and an extension of Metro Link between Sector-21 Dwarka and IGI Airport.
The Cabinet also sanctioned Rs 214 crore to MCD for construction of 17 new road over bridges/road under bridges and approved a methodology for operations of privately owned stage carriage buses to replace existing blue line buses.
It also decided to set up the Delhi State Spatial Data Infrastructure for which an MoU would be signed with Survey of India.
These decisions were taken in a Cabinet Meeting chaired by Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit.
Briefing mediapersons after the Cabinet Meeting, Ms Dikshit said the Rs 350-crore hospital will be named after former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and will have provision for teaching facilities. It would be constructed at Dwarka over a plot measuring 15 acres of land allotted by DDA and will be functional by 2010.
Since the Dwarka Hospital is planned as a major facility for a sub-city of one million population, the Cabinet considered it appropriate to go in for a state-of-the-art facility which would serve the population over the next 50-100 years.
It would provide comprehensive health care encompassing preventive, curative and rehabilitative healthcare with outreach services to the residents of Dwarka and neighbouring areas particularly to the low socio-economic group, also provide round-the-clock emergency services, maternity services, operation facilities and all kinds of specialist healthcare services along with super specialty services and act as a referral institution for patients referred from Dispensaries/Health Centres.

|Reviews for Dumbledore's Man
| Guest chapter 1 . 11/9/2015
This was a powerful and impressive story until the author notes in the post-script made it fizzle out and lose any effect. Bravo on the story. Boo hiss on the notes.
| Ignus R chapter 1 . 12/21/2014
Still love this one. Still devastating, and realistic, and tragic in a most elegant way.
| TheHoneymoonWasAnAdventure chapter 1 . 8/12/2013
Very well written.
| riverrat chapter 1 . 5/3/2013
Another well written oneshot. I think Severus helped healing Ron for Hermione. He saw that she had genuine compassion for him and tried to help him. Which was something nobody ever did for him before.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it could have been that Severus didn't want any help because he was afraid that he would end up in another unrequited love. That Hermione is running off with Ron and he would end up lonely, just like it was with Lily running off with James.
Anyway, those were just my two Knuts. I love your writing and I think I'm going to raid the stories on your profile now...;-)
| MuggleCreator chapter 1 . 1/4/2013
| crazfool chapter 1 . 8/12/2011
That is so sad! Great work though! I loved the quotes from "To his coy mistress". That is one of my favorite poems ever!
| That-Fresh-Rain-Smell chapter 1 . 7/15/2010
Funny, I just PM'd you about a review you left for Dark Vorona. I *almost* suggested you read something called 'dumbledores men', but I didnt *snigger*. I went to your profile cause I was curious of what else you thought about HP. I find I agreed with you on a lot of it-I'm currently writing a story that re-tells the books, expanding the characters potential and altogether kind of saying fuck you, jk. I wonder if you wrote dumbledores men when you still believed in dumbledore? when you still liked him? What made you change your mind? if it was deathly hollows, DH should have a disclaimer that says 'disregard that I suck cock.' but anyway. I loved this little story, I have it printed out somewhere, which is rather high praise :)
| YuriyTalaIvanov chapter 1 . 9/17/2009
omg i loved your A/N lol...
"As the story ends, Hermione is devastated, Harry reflective and Ron bewildered. As he has, through absence and incapacity, missed both the dramatic action and its import, he is still stuck in the mindset of "Snape is evil." He doesn't know what to say (and has effectively been forbidden to say the only things he knows how to say) about Snape's death, and his near-death experience has left him weak and light-headed. He therefore chooses the practical, sensible option of making lunch, thus solving both problems simultaneously."
wow...what a hilarious way to end a very sad fic! lovely fic btw! _
| trekker2002 chapter 1 . 10/2/2007
So sad, but so typically Snape. JKR should have given him a better end but end it would have been. He would not have wanted to live beyond the victory, but at least you have allowed him to know it was a victory. Lovely characterisation. Thank you.
| Besarien chapter 1 . 8/16/2007
This was hard to read, because I like Snape so. I'm glad I did read it since it was well thought out and gorgeously written. You've given him a much fitter end than in canon too, in my humble opinion.
| myoldman chapter 1 . 7/17/2007
I somehow missed this story until now, and I'm regretting that I read this. It suddenly ranked among your best stories with the trademark poignancy and beautiful prose, but it's so ominous- too ominous. I fear that you might have predicted two years ago what will happen in the last book.
But of course it's flawlessly written (which is the problem in this case), and how you've captured Harry is superb. Harry, confusion and rage flaring in his heart, holding his wand over unswervingly seering and cold Snape... oh wow, you just nailed it.
| cckeimig chapter 1 . 7/13/2007
Very impacting scene.
| angelcarver chapter 1 . 6/22/2007
"We've never worked well together."
Hm. I wonder whose fault THAT was?
| madamsnape78 chapter 1 . 5/31/2007
Of course I had to go read this after your response. Now it all makes sense and I can see where its all headed.
This was very good- sad, but good and poor Snape behaved in a way I find very believable.
I actually enjoyed Ron in this, strange as that may be- it's just like him to miss the fact that Snape died and stick his foot in his mouth over it. The poor guy always seems to be a step or two behind.
| GrEeN-eYeS119 chapter 1 . 4/8/2007
dude what? That was so horribly abrupt! He just died? You really suprised me, I thought he would live and he and Harry would get to have a nice heartfelt talk. But it was very well done and I love the Snape Hermione bits!

It's very easy to have a lousy time at an adult datingsite. It's not because you're watching a hideous woman doing all sorts of bullshit sex acts. It's not even your attitude. Maybe you're there to really enjoy the profile. Maybe you've set aside some time and you really like a member and you'd like to be treated to a great profile. The problem is everybody else.
You have to remember that most dating profiles involve a public audience unless you sign up for a private dating site. As you probably already tell that's how these types of operations make money: when you ask a member to set you up at a virtual private booth so you can just watch her all to yourself. Outside of that situation then you have to make do with trying to have a good time at an open adult dating site. So what is a good strategy for using localfuckbook.net you ask?
Well, there are many different strategies that you read all over the Internet. I'm telling you right now most of them are bullshit. Most of them are written by some dude who's probably has not even seen a adult datingsite in his life. They just exist to cater to traffic, convert that traffic into ad clicks. In other words, they are a complete waste of your time. If you're serious about having a great time at a adult datingsite, you only need to pay attention to one piece of advice. My advice is this: be the cop.
What I mean by that is when guys start acting like idiots to try to goad a member you just need to be the adult in the room. Just tell them to shut the fuck up and let her do her thing. If you are able to do that people would respect you, and most importantly, the chances of the member putting on a great profile increases tremendously.

Rusty Bunker Escape is point and click escape game developed by Ainars for Escape Fan. Imagine on a sunny day during your holiday you went out to the outskirts of the city with your friends because there was only place which was big enough to play football. With a wrong kick your friend kicked the ball out of the field and it landed in a ditch. You set out to fetch it. When you reached the ball you glanced a bunker carved into the soil. You didn't care anymore with the ball just entered the place. Inside you found old gadgets and weapons. It rose your interest soo much you started to examine them unaware of the closing door. A breeze suddenly closed it and it became locked. Find hidden objects and solve puzzles to get out somehow. Good luck!

Had a great time meeting new friends that I am sure will become long time relationships. The adventures where truly wonderful but the Panama Canal itself was simply amazing; Such history and an engineering feat. Truly one of the wonders of the world and if you are interested at all this is a must see in your life.
The Island Princess seemed to be cramped especially in the Horizon Buffett area and around the pools. Also the activities onboard did not seem to be very well coordinated and had a lot to be desired. Also the dinning room staff, ALL OF THEM, seemed to be driven by their motto of the "Consummate Host". They tried to hard doing things like constantly interrupting conversation at the table just to ask if we where enjoying our meals. Also pressing throughout the 16 days to remind us to fill out the cruise survey and reminding us of their names and to please give them good scores.
On the other hand, the crew attending to the Crooners Bar was amazing. Made everyone feel like family. I can not count the number of people that came by to give them hugs the final night. They made the cruise.
I have been on seven Princess ships and this one was my least fav. However the Crooners Bar Staff and the ports of call made this cruise one of my all time best.

Both Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski are using the tournament as a key warm-up for the Australian Open in Melbourne in mid-January, and if that means New Year's Eve will be by necessity a sedate affair, then each is hoping for a better celebration by next weekend.
The new season also brings a clean slate in the rankings, something for which Rusedski will be particularly grateful. He finished the inaugural Champions' Race slumped in the mid-70s, by contrast with Henman's highly respectable ranking of 10th place.
But under the Champions' Race system, none of those ranking points count for anything in the new season. So, whoever wins the Adelaide tournament will be, for a while at least, the world's leading player.
Henman headed straight for the Memorial Drive courts from the airport yesterday, having flown out of Heathrow with coach David Felgate on Boxing Day. Such seasonal sacrifices have their compensations.
The midsummer Australian sun proved such a contrast to freezing London that Henman stripped to the waist as he practised with Jamie Delgado, his doubles partner for the Adelaide tournament.
The feelgood factor is in any case not in short supply for Henman at present after winning late-season events in Brighton and Vienna, where he snapped a miserable sequence of seven straight losses in finals. Now the 26-year-old feels he has purged himself of crippling self-doubt.
"It was a really pleasing way to finish the year," he said. "Finishing in the top 10 after feeling really dissatisfied with 1999 was very positive.
"To get my first title on home soil was a great moment, and to win in Vienna after losing seven finals in a row was really pleasing. I knew I was going to win again but it was definitely frustrating waiting so long.
"Obviously I'd like the tournament wins to continue. Hopefully I can go all the way this week but I know it's going to be difficult."
The precise degree of difficulty depends to some extent on hometown hero Lleyton Hewitt. The 19-year-old has been recovering from a mystery respiratory problem which has plagued him for much of the last six months.
Uncertain of his precise fitness, he will wait until late this evening before choosing whether to accept a wildcard. Without him, Henman will be the No1 seed. With him, the tournament organisers will be delirously happy, and will no doubt relate several thousand times how Hewitt won the Adelaide tournament three years ago to become the lowest ranked player (550th) ever to win a title.
According to David Felgate, however, his charge is sanguine whether Hewitt plays or not. Both agree that improvements in his first and second serves have made the Briton a tougher opponent.
"I feel I'm a better player each year, especially the way my serve has come on during the past year," Henman said. "The serve is such an important part of the game today. The second serve is an area where I needed to improve and I have."
But if serving is significant to Henman's game, it is pivotal to Rusedski's.
The abject failure of the key weapon in his game was evident last year, much to Rusedski's bewilderment and despair.
He hopes Pat Cash, his latest coach, is the man to put things right. He flew out to Cash's training camp on the Gold Coast a week before Christmas and will not show his hand on the Adelaide practise courts until Sunday. More fervently than most, Rusedski is hoping for a happy new year.

Naming In The News
Aviva builds U.S. image after AmerUs buyout
The London-based insurer is fifth-largest in the world and will offer the 'same great products, same great people' as D.M.-based AmerUs.
Philip Scott, right, executive director for international operations of Aviva PLC, a London-based insurer that recently purchased AmerUs, visits in Des Moines with Thomas Godlasky, chief executive of U.S. operations.
Philip Scott is an avid sailor in his native England, but it's his business skippering skills that will be tested in coming months as he tries to fashion one of the world's biggest financial services companies into a household name in the United States.
Aviva PLC, where Scott is group executive director for international operations, is the fifth-largest insurer in the world. But the London-based company is hardly known in the United States because until last month it had only a minimal presence in this country.
In November, Aviva finished its $3.8 billion buyout of Des Moines-based AmerUs Group Co. AmerUs is a leading seller of equity-indexed annuities and indexed life insurance policies, but those niche products have yet to give it wide-level recognition.
But AmerUs has built a substantial sales network and is licensed to operate in all 50 states. So it has plenty of potential to grow as Scott and Thomas Godlasky, who was chairman of AmerUs and is president and chief executive officer of Aviva's U.S. operations, make the switch from an Iowa-run company to an American branch of a global financial giant. Eventually, everything that AmerUs sells will be rebranded as an Aviva product.
Business naming expert William Lozito believes the company can pull off the transition if it doesn't hurry and lets customers - both existing and potential - know that as AmerUs transitions to Aviva, "it's the same great products, the same great people."
"You have to create an awareness for that name," said Lozito, president of Strategic Name Development Co. in Minneapolis.
Particularly when financial products are involved, Lozito said buyers want to get the sense that they're buying from a known entity.
They may also want to buy from companies that have a lot of financial clout, and on that point Scott and Godlasky said Aviva is well set, with assets under management of more than $500 billion. Principal Financial Group Inc., the Des Moines-based insurance and financial services company, manages about $210 billion in assets.
Philip Durbrow, chairman of San Francisco-based Marshall Strategy Inc., helped Principal Financial transform to its new identity in 1985 from The Bankers Life. He said it's important to give employees a sense of pride in the new name and then let clients know that their policies are secure.
"Once you have your employees and customers on board, then you can search out new customers," Durbrow said.
Neither Scott nor Godlasky provided specifics on how the young company will capitalize on the Aviva name. Scott hinted sports could play a role.
Aviva is a sponsor of tennis championships in Australia and India, and Scott said some sort of similar arrangement could be used to raise its American profile.

The Robert C. Martin Clean Code Collection consists of two bestselling eBooks: Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftmanship The Clean Coder: A Code of Conduct for Professional Programmers In Clean Code, legendary software expert Robert C. Martin has teamed up with his colleagues from Object Mentor to distill their best agile practice of cleaning code "on the fly" into a book that will instill within you the values of a software craftsman and make you a better programmer--but only if you work at it. You will be challenged to think about what's right about that code and what's wrong with it.

Martin shows how to approach software development with honor, self-respect, and pride; work well and work clean; communicate and estimate faithfully; face difficult decisions with clarity and honesty; and understand that deep knowledge comes with a responsibility to act. Readers of this collection will come away understanding How to tell the difference between good and bad code How to write good code and how to transform bad code into good code How to create good names, good functions, good objects, and good classes How to format code for maximum readability How to implement complete error handling without obscuring code logic How to unit test and practice test-driven development What it means to behave as a true software craftsman How to deal with conflict, tight schedules, and unreasonable managers How to get into the flow of coding and get past writer's block How to handle unrelenting pressure and avoid burnout How to combine enduring attitudes with new development paradigms How to manage your time and avoid blind alleys, marshes, bogs, and swamps How to foster environments where programmers and teams can thrive When to say "No"--and how to say it When to say "Yes"--and what yes really means

BAGHDAD, Oct 27 (Reuters) A senior police chief in an area of Iraq riven by sectarian violence was kidnapped at an army checkpoint along with seven bodyguards and has not been heard from since, police and interior ministry sources said today.
They said Colonel Amer Nussayif Jassim, chief of police in the town of Miqdadiya, northeast of Baghdad, had been stopped at an army checkpoint while driving to work in a two-car convoy, bundled into the trunk of a car by soldiers, and taken away.
Interior ministry sources said they believed Jassim had been targeted for sectarian reasons. They said the kidnapping happened a few days ago. Police had initially said the kidnapping was today.
The interior ministry sources said Jassim managed to radio colleagues as he was being taken away, and police later arrested 13 people at the checkpoint.
But there was no sign of Jassim or his bodyguards. A team had been assembled to investigate the incident, the sources said.
Miqdadiya is in Diyala province, a mixed region of Shi'ites and Sunnis that has seen severe sectarian violence. Iraq's police and army have often been at odds with each other, and kidnappings by groups of men in police or army uniforms are common in Iraq.

This Summerland and Naramata-sourced Pinot balances silky tannins with cherry and earthy notes and just the right streak of acidity to work with the fish ($35, 91 points). Or, if you prefer to stick with tradition, you could even serve it with turkey.
89 points – John Szabo – Wine Align – October 4, 2015
Joie has made a cracking range of 2013 light reds (pinot noir, gamay), especially evident in this pure pinot noir. No Reserve wine was made in this troublesome vintage, which means that (a strict selection of) all fruit was "declassified" into this regular bottling. The result is a fine value, showing some of the heat of the vintage in the black cherry fruit character, more new world than old, while retaining hallmark Joie Farm crunchy acids and fine-grained tannins. This is ready to enjoy now, or will certainly hold another 2-3 years at least in the cellar. Tasted October 2015.

Full houses at fall semester commencement the past two years have prompted the University of Georgia to require tickets for friends and family members to attend the next graduation ceremony in Stegeman Coliseum.
UGA officials announced the new policy Monday, citing limited space and the growing number of students who get degrees in the fall.
Each undergraduate will be eligible to pick up six tickets for family and friends to attend the ceremony, which is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Dec. 18 in the coliseum.
Tickets will be distributed in alphabetic order of students' last names beginning Nov. 11.
UGA officials haven't yet decided on how to distribute extra tickets, if any remain after the designated pickup period, said UGA Registrar Rebecca Macon.
Officials mainly worry about ensuring safety and making sure each graduate gets the chance to have at least some family and friends in the building, she said.
Fall semester graduation is held each December in Stegeman Coliseum, which has a seating capacity of about 10,500. Two years ago, the graduation audience filled Stegeman's seats and overflowed into aisles and stairs, and last fall's crowd was nearly as large, Macon said.
Most UGA graduates participate in spring semester commencement in May at Sanford Stadium, which seats more than 92,000 people - nearly nine times the capacity of Stegeman Coliseum.
UGA officials have not yet announced the commencement speaker.
UGA is waiting for confirmation from the person invited to speak, said Kim Osborne, senior public relations coordinator for the UGA News Service.

text: The following is a news realease from the Kennebec County Sheriff's Office. On Wednesday morning the Kennebec County Sheriff's Office recieved a call at about 12:40 a.m., Deputy Jesse Dudda responded to a complaint of domestic violence at the residence of 20 year old Samuel Smith located on Water Street in the Town of Randolph. Upon arrival, Deputy Dudda was informed that Samuel Smith had been playing loud music all night. When he was confronted by his grandmother, he threw a piece of metal at her causing pain to her arm. The grandmother was crying at the time of the arrival of the Deputy. Deputy Dudda further learned that Samuel had recently been notified of his pending eviction and his erratic behavior concerned family members. Family members advised that Samuel has made threats in the past to shoot someone with a shotgun: they further advised that he had a loaded shotgun in his room. Attempts to contact Samuel met with negative results. Patrol units from the Hallowell and Gardiner Police Departments responded to the scene, rescue units from Randolph Fire Department and the Maine State Police tactical team formed a perimeter and began negotiations. An arrest warrant and search warrant were requested and authorized for the arrest of Samuel and for the search of the residence. At approximately 9:00 A.M. police negotiators taped his mothers voice, asking for him, to exit the home, which he did without incident. Upon surrendering to Deputies, Samuel was transported to the Kennebec County Correctional Facility where he awaits arraignment on Friday. A 12 Gauge shotgun was located in the bedroom as were 12 rounds of buckshot. He has been charged with Domestic Assault, Criminal Mischief and Creating a Police Standoff. Bail has been set at $2,000. Smith has had numerous arrests over the past two years including Assault, Burglary, Violation of Condition of Release, Criminal Mischief, Theft by Unauthorized Taking. He was convicted on one of the Theft Charges and served four days, all others charges are pending disposition at court. Sheriff Randall Liberty says, " I'm very pleased that this incident was resolved without further violence. These situations are often difficult. In this case we had an act of domestic assault involving an elderly lady and family members were very concern with the potential for the use of a firearm. The actions taken by all responding Officers is commendable.â€

Suspected drug dealer arrested
Officers patrolling a new walking path under highways 1 and 9 on Sunday night caught a suspected drug dealer armed with a "makeshift blackjack," Santa Cruz police reported.
Bryan Young, a 26-year-old transient on probation, allegedly had methamphetamine and the blackjack -- a short leather-covered club, with a heavy head on a flexible handle -- when the officers stopped him along the San Lorenzo River levee around 8:20 p.m., according to police spokesman Zach Friend.
Police suspect Young had been selling drugs near the homeless shelter on Coral Street. Because he is on probation, officers searched him and found methamphetamine in a Ziploc baggie and the weapon, Friend said.
Young was arrested on suspicion of a probation violation, possessing a controlled substance with intent to sell and possessing a dangerous weapon.

Good riddance!

I'd rather solve the problem rather than pay taxes to cover the $25K a year in prison costs for the rest of this guy's life.
Prison is not the solution even though I don't want guys like this on the street.
Catch and release isn't the solution becuase we end up with situations like this.
We really need to get these people into some effective drug treatment programs to bring them back to reality. I know this cost $ but prison costs a lot more.
If we are spending money on prison dollars, just focus on the meth/heroin dealers.

#23 Jun 1, 2010
For what it is worth, I know the guy, from school from a long time back. He has mental issues, a local guy, just not able to work in a shared reality. This is sad to hear, albeit not unexpected. I am glad he is caught and a threat like him is not around BUT, it would have been better to have seen his mental challenges caught and addressed better before he stabbed someone.
#24 Jun 1, 2010
I bet the Brown hater crowd is severely disappointed the stabber wasn't Mexican or Latino.
#25 Jun 1, 2010
This is a sick dude, lock him up and throw the key. I hope the tough jailbirds give him a workover
#26 Jun 1, 2010
I said at the time this happened that it was probably one of the transients living either in one of the cars or trailer/campers that park along the highway at the edge of town, or one of the "campers" who inhabit the no-man's land between the highway and Natural Bridges. So...big surprise.
I'm not sure that ht sighting of your stabber counts as a 911 event.
Also...why didn't that guy have a cell phone?

But it has also revealed that total debt had jumped another £500 million in the six months to 30 June, taking the figure to £5.65 billion. It has cash of £341 million.
Telewest said earnings before interest, tax and depreciation rose 30% from the same time last year to £184 million. This combined with foreign exchange gains, proceeds from the sale of investments and lower goodwill charges to produce the improved bottom line. It also confirmed that Singer, who is thought to have clashed with the rest of the board, had been replaced by finance director Charles Burdick.
Singer sparked outrage earlier this year when it was revealed he reaped a 50% rise in his salary to £780,000 in 2001. Shareholders' anger was heightened when it emerged that he and three fellow directors shared bonuses worth £690,000 despite the crash in the share price.
Today's accounts did not disclose whether Singer will get a payoff.
Telewest said its residential business suffered in the first half of this year at the hands of higher prices and its emphasis on broadband.
The company slashed its payroll by 15% in the second quarter and reduced its annual capital spending rate from a forecast £600 million to £470 million.

Crude Oil Turns Higher Despite IEA Demand Warning
RTTNews - Crude oil prices turned modestly higher Thursday even after the International Energy Agency said that oil demand remains very weak. The dollar came under pressure in afternoon dealing, boosting crude prices.
Light sweet crude for June finished at $58.62 per barrel, up 60 cents on the day. Prices had dropped as low as $56.55 early in the morning.
The International Energy Agency reduced its forecast for oil consumption by estimate to 230,000 barrels a day to 83.2 million. Earlier this week, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and the Energy Department lowered their outlooks.
Adding to the demand concerns, the U.S. Labor Department said initial jobless claims jumped to 637,000 for the week ended May 9th. This was up 32,000 from the previous week's revised total of 605,000.
A separate Labor Department report showed that the producer price index rose 0.3 percent in April following an unrevised 1.2 percent decrease in March. Economists had been expecting a slightly more modest increase in prices of about 0.2 percent.
But, oil's hedge appeal received a boost as the dollar moved lower against the sterling and euro. With the decline, the dollar drifted toward a recently-seen seven-week low against the euro and toward a four-month low against the pound.
EIA data released yesterday showed crude oil inventories decreased by 4.7 million barrels in the week ended May 8. Gasoline stocks decreased by 4.1 million barrels last week.
However, data also showed that demand for the recent four-week period averaged nearly 18.2 million barrels per day, down by 7.9 percent compared to the similar period last year.
AAA data showed the averaged gallon of regular gasoline was $2.281, up from $2.05 a month ago but still below the $3.758 from a year ago.
Oil lost 83 cents on Wednesday after it had earlier touched as high as $59.90, challenging Tuesday's six-month high of $60.08.

|Ship Quality
|The layout if confusing at first, especially if it was your first time. But there was staff everywhere and they were very helpful with directions. The ship was very clean.
|Food and Dining
|Like I said before, the food definitely got old about the 5th day in. I wish there were more food choices at the buffet and at the sit-down dinner. The staff was great. I did hate that twice we waited 45 mins to be seated for dinner.
|Cabin / Stateroom
|We had the smallest stateroom available and yes it was small but you get what you pay for. I loved the paintings on the walls and the bed was pretty comfy in my opinion.
|Service and Staff
|The staff was great. Very friendly. Every single housekeeper I passed in the halls said "Hi" to us, which was nice.
|I liked a lot of the activites on board but there were times I wish there was more to do or see. I like that they have activites where guests can participate in. My friend who cruised with me did a bartending contest; it was super fun.

the only mark this has on it is part of letters "EPNS" but you can actually only see EPN, the Coffee Pot has all plating gone, Teapot still has about half of its plating left, the creamer and sugar have about 85-90% of plating left. they have a nice design on them, but with so much plating gone fear these will be more scrape.

"I've done stories on everything from home computers — back when only three companies were making them — to a portrait of the Sherman House (a landmark hotel that survived the 1906 earthquake) to a profile of the Emmy Award-winning sound engineer who worked on Basic Instinct," says Cary Pepper. "But my favorite piece is probably the one I did about a new reading program for kindergartners; the kids pulled me right into the class and I learned more that one day than I ever learned in kindergarten. That's one of the things I love most about magazine writing — it's a constant learning process. It gives you a license to probe into how the world — and the people in it — work. It's also the most accessible way to break into professional writing. Even when you have no publishing credits, if you come up with the right idea, and pitch it to the right editor at the right time, you can get the assignment."
