(Taken from The Guardian's feature on Shared Worlds and fantastical cities–thanks, Alison Flood, for picking up the story.)
Rick Kleffel at the Agony Column just ran a podcast interview with me about the Shared World camp that pretty much gives you an overview of what it is and how it works. Great questions from Rick, one of the hardest-working people I know.
Thanks to everyone who ran the Shared Worlds story yesterday, including: Omnivoracious, Warren Ellis, io9, the LA Times blog, Boing Boing,, Maud Newton, Revolution SF, Bibliophile Stalker, Simon Drax, Walker of Worlds, and especially SF Signal for partnering with us on this feature. I know there are others, but this is what's coming up on my Google right now.
I really appreciate it. It's a great cause, and getting the word out helps build momentum and lets more teens and their parents know the camp exists as an option. Thanks also to awesome sponsors TOR Books, Wizards of the Coast LLC, and Realms of Fantasy.

Tom Davis dreamed the other night of playing Augusta National Golf Club. Another night, he dreamed he was back in his plane, flying. These days, those dreams are as close as he can get to the things he used to enjoy.
Mr. Davis was diagnosed in November with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease, and has difficulty even walking now.
But he and his family are fighting back by raising money to fund services and research into the incurable disease through the Walk to D'Feet ALS on Saturday.
"It's really all you have when you have this disease," said his wife, Janet.
The Davis family is one of the top fundraisers for the event, having raised more than $1,400, with more coming in, said Brianne NaLampoon, the director of communications for The ALS Association of Georgia.
The event raises money for the group, which in turn provides funding for research and direct-care services such as nurses who make home visits to patients, she said. The money also helps support a monthly ALS clinic, and the association provides a support group at Medical College of Georgia Hospital, clinic Director Michael Rivner said.
"The Georgia ALS association actually provides some pretty unprecedented services," Dr. Rivner said. "They are very patient-focused and they actually provide extremely important services to these patients who need it really badly."
Mr. Davis, for instance, got a wheelchair through the association, even though he lives across the river in North Augusta. And he enjoys going to the support group, where he has met patients from as far away as Charleston, S.C., and Alabama.
"It's good to see other people and talk to their families," Mr. Davis said.
The fundraiser itself is therapeutic, said Kathleen M. McKie, an association board member who lost her brother Chip to the disease.
"There's so little that you can do, and this is one small thing you can do that makes you feel that you're striking out and that you're making a statement," said Dr. McKie, a pediatric hematologist and oncologist at MCG.
The Davises plan to be there, even if they can't stay long.
Lying in bed, laboring to breathe, Mr. Davis' eyes light up when he recalls playing golf with his grandchildren or getting lost while flying his plane and following Interstate 20 to get back home.
A retired draftsman, he said he had 10 good years of retirement before the disease struck about two years ago. He doesn't let it ruin his dreams, or his memories.
"I've had a good life," he said.
"We've had a lot of fun," his wife added.
Reach Tom Corwin at (706) 823-3213 or email@example.com.
WHAT: The second annual Walk to D'Feet ALS in Augusta
WHEN: 10 a.m. Saturday
WHERE: At the fountain on 10th Street in front of Radisson Riverfront Hotel Augusta.

How does Jem's, Scout's, and Dill's relationship with Boo Radley change by the end of To Kill a Mockingbird? Give examples from the novel.
- print Print
- list Cite
Boo Radley is the ghoulish mystery man who unites the three children in friendship and mischief in Harper Lee's novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. Initially, the three kids merely think of Boo as the neighborhood phantom, a never-seen enigma who they hope to lure out into the open for a peek. But Atticus's persistent warnings to "stop tormenting that man" finally make some headway.
Each of the children eventually discover that Boo is more than an unseen spirit. When the kids are shot at by Mr. Radley and Jem loses his pants, Jem returns with a shocking surprise: Someone has mended them and left them hanging on the fence for him to find. Jem finally comes to understand that it is Boo who has undertaken this kindness and kept him from more trouble with Atticus.
On the night of the great fire, Atticus sends the children to stand near the Radley Place and away from danger. Scout later discovers that she has been covered with a blanket.
"... Someday, maybe, Scout can thank him for covering her up."
"Thank who?" I asked.
"Boo Radley. You were so busy looking at the fire you didn't know it when he put the blanket on you."
My stomach turned to water and I nearly threw up...
Dill even discovers a common personal link with Boo, for they both have been abandoned by their fathers. When Scout asks Dill why he thinks Boo has never run away like Dill, he wisely answers that
"Maybe he doesn't have anywhere to run off to..."
After Boo comes to Jem and Scout's rescue when they are attacked by Bob Ewell, Scout discovers that Boo has gone from a scary object of ridicule to her newest hero. Although he is as pale as the children had imagined, he is also gentle and kind. And when she walks Boo back to his house and turns to observe the neighborhood from his porch, she discovers a whole new view of her world.

The life of a paid mercenary makes sense to Special Forces Officer Winslow Grange. The jungles of South America may make his former job as a ranch manager for his friend Jay Pendleton look like a cakewalk, but it's nothing that the former Green Beret can't handle. A woman's heart, however - that's dangerous territory. Back in Texas, Grange's biggest problem was avoiding Peg Larson and all the complications being attracted to the daughter of his foreman would entail.
Now Grange will need all his training to help General Emilio Machado gain control of the tiny South American nation of Barrera. But when Peg arrives unannounced, she's a distraction he can't avoid. She's determined to show Grange she can be useful on and off the battlefield. Once she breaks through his armor, traversing the wilds of the Amazon will prove an easier task than defending himself against her winning charms….

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Feel good"
I did find myself laughing a few times threw out the book and there is a part they will make you try and tear up.
It was a sweet story with a little action and a little something something. I wish the rest of the collection of the Long Tall Texan series would come to audible.
"Characters were very likeable."
The storyline was not as interesting as some, skipped thru a lot . narrator as expected was above average..
"Oh, the preaching."
This story is full of none-too-subtle preaching, in typical Diana Palmer fashion. Saved, once again, by the wonderful Phil Gigante. (The only reason I put up with the nagging, in fact....mmmmm....Phil Gigante!)
That said, this story was more entertaining than DP's normal. If you can ignore the holier-than-thou bits, it's quite good. (Plus, did I mention Phil Gigante?)
"Rancher loses heart to foreman's daughter"
It ranks very highly. Diana Palmer writes a really good book and they lend themselves to Audio very well.
Winslow Grange because he is such a capable man. Liked him from Heartless where I first met his character. Between his good looks and strong character he is a hard man to resist.
His voices for his characters other than Peg of course were all good. Makes Winslow a very sensual and strong man to listen to. You can feel the strength in his voice that his character is supposed to have. The other women in the book were better than Peg but wish the women were better. I enjoy his reading these types of characters. He is the narrator for most of the Long Tall Texan series and I enjoy listening to him.
When he reunites with Peg at the village where he has no idea she is since she is not even supposed to be in the country.
This is just a very well written book with interesting characters and an interesting storyline that is at least one that you can believe could happen. I enjoy this series of books and am glad they are available on audio.

Re: Health Bulletin
Exercise benefits from vitamin C supplements?
Taking vitamin C supplements daily may have similar cardiovascular benefits as regular exercise in overweight and obese adults, a new study has claimed.
Overweight and obese adults are advised to exercise to improve their health, but more than 50% do not do so, researchers said.
Research conducted at the University of Colorado, Boulder, has suggested that taking vitamin C supplements daily can have simi ar cardiovascular benefits as regular exercise in these adults. The blood vessels of overweight and obese adults have elevated activity of the small vessel-constricting protein endothelin (ET)-1. Because of the high ET-1 activity, these vessels are more prone to constricting, becoming less responsive to blood flow demand and increasing risk of developing vascular disease.
Exercise has been shown to reduce ET-1 activity , but incorporating an exercise regimen into a daily routine can be challenging.
The study examined whether vitamin C supplements, which have been reported to improve vessel function, can also lower ET-1 activity. Experts found daily supplementation of vitamin C (500 mgday) reduced ET-1related vessel constriction as much as walking for exercise did. Vitamin C supplementation represents an effective strategy for reducing ET-1mediated vessel constriction in overweight and obese adults, the experts said.

How poop can heal you
-- Faecal transplant
Almost everyone knows about a kidney or a liver transplant. But do you know there is another transplant where doctors put a donor's stool deep into the intestine of a patient suffering from severe gut infection? Faecal transplant, the procedure which has been experimented with successfully abroad, is gaining ground in India, too.
A 44-year-old man suffering from ulcerative colitis, a form of inflammatory bowel disease, recently underwent the life-saving procedure at Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurgaon. Dr Avnish Seth, director, gastroenterology and hepatobiliary sciences at the hospital, said six more patients have undergone the transplant, while another one is in waiting.
"Suresh Sharma (name changed) was suffering from ulcerative colitis for the past 11 years. He was passing stools mixed with blood on most days. No amount of steroids and other medications could help him. That's why we thought of attempting the transplant procedure on him. The donor was a healthy family member. There was marked relief in his symptoms nine months later. He is off all medication," Dr Seth added. He said more such case results have to be vetted before declaring it a success and advising the procedure. for patients suffering from severe infection of the gut medicines fail to help.
Dr Anupam Sibal, medical director of Apollo hospitals, said they have also conducted faecal transplant successfully on one patient. "We have good and bad bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract and there is a balance between them. When it gets disturbed, gastrointestinal symptoms occur. There is a lot of interest in the concept of putting in healthy bacteria to get this balance right. Initial results are encouraging to say the least," he said.
Faecal transplant is carried out in the western countries at an exorbitant cost. Dr Seth of Fortis hospital said it has worked out a "do it at home" model where a close family member donates the stool and the processing is carried out at home to reduce the cost. "Also, our technique of putting a donor's stool deep into the colon with colonoscope and not just a rectal enema has not been reported earlier," he said.
Doctors said faecal transplant has been used for centuries to treat equine diarrhoea. "In World War II, German soldiers learnt that ingestion of camel stool helped in recovering from bacillary dysentery. In 1958, the first faecal transplant for pseudomembranous colitis was reported when the condition of three of four critical patients improved following FMT enema," said a doctor.

Re: Health Bulletin
Scientists find how body keeps balance while jogging
Ever wondered why do you feel dizzy during a roller coaster ride but not while jogging? The answer may lie in your ears!
Scientists have found that an organ located in the inner ear helps our body maintain balance while jogging.
The active movements of a jogger's arms and legs are accompanied by involuntary changes in the position of the head relative to the rest of the body. However, a jogger does not experience dizziness like those induced in the passive riders of a roller coaster.
The answer for the difference lies in the vestibular organ (VO) located in the inner ear, which controls balance and posture, the researchers said.
The VO senses ongoing self-motion and ensures that, while running, a jogger unconsciously compensates for the accompanying changes in the orientation of the head.
The capacity to adapt and respond appropriately to both slight and substantial displacements of the head in turn implies that the sensory hair cells in the inner ear can react to widely varying stimulus intensities.
In collaboration with Dr John Simmers at the Centre national de la recherche scientifiqu (CNRS) at the University of Bordeaux, neurobiologists Dr Boris Chagnaud, Roberto Banchi and Professor Hans Straka at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen's Department of Biology II, have now shown, for the first time, how this feat is achieved.
The findings show that cells in the spinal cord which generate the rhythmic patterns of neural and muscle activity required for locomotion also adaptively alter the sensitivity of the hair cells in the VO, enabling them to respond to the broad range of incoming signal amplitudes.
"We are not really aware of what movement actually involves because our balance organs react immediately to alterations in posture and head position," said Chagnaud.
"The hair cells, which detect the resulting changes in fluid flow in the semicircular canals in the inner ear, enable us to keep our balance without any conscious effort," said Chagnaud.
Using tadpoles as an experimental model system, the researchers investigated how the hair cells manage to sense both low- and high-amplitude movements and produce the signals that control the appropriate compensatory response.
The tadpole's balance organs operate on the same principle as the bilateral VOs in humans, and the nerve circuits responsible for communication between the hair cells and the motor neurons in the spinal cord are organised in essentially identical ways, the researchers said.
When a tadpole initiates a voluntary movement, nerve cells in the spinal cord send copies of the motor commands to efferent neurons in the brainstem that project to the hair cells in the inner ear.
By dampening the intrinsic sensitivity of the hair cells, the input from the spinal cord effectively adapts the VO's dynamic range. This process enables the balance organ to maintain responsiveness to high-amplitude "afferent" stimuli from the periphery, and thus to modulate the head movements.

Scientists decode humble tulsi
Be it common cold or fever, the humble tulsi can cure many an ailment. But despite its extensive use in the Ayurvedic system of medicine, not much is known about the bioactive compounds produced by the plant.
A recent breakthrough by city scientists has got them one step closer to understanding the herb's medicinal values.
A team of researchers from the National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bengaluru, has produced the first draft genome of the plant, which can help them identify the genes responsible for production of compounds with potential medicinal properties. The medicinal properties of tulsi are attributed to specialized compounds produced as a part of its defence mechanism, said Sowdhamini Ramanathan of NCBS, the lead researcher.
The team included researchers from NCBS, inStem and CCAMP, all members of the Bangalore Life Sciences Cluster.
"The sequence reveals the interesting pathways used by tulsi to make Ursolic acid, a medically important compound. If one could use modern synthetic biology techniques to synthesize Urosolic acid, it would be of great benefit," said S Ramaswamy from inStem.
The team used five varieties of tulsi to collect the genomic data. It then compared the results with well-studied species like Arabidopsis thaliana (a flowering plant). This helped them identify the unique compounds found in tulsi Krishna subtype.
Queen of herbs
Tulsi is rather commonplace in every household for its medicinal it importance. In ancient Indian texts, was referred to as the `queen of herbs', comprising many aromatic compounds. Tulsi or ocimum tenuiflorum is assumed to be of Indian origin and has been under cultivation for almost 3,000 years now. It has myriad medicinal properties -anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-pyretic and anti-cancer, to name a few.

Blood pressure, diabetes, smoking among biggest killers in India: Study
High blood pressure, high blood sugar, smoking and pollution are causing more deaths in India than under nutrition and other tropical diseases, according to a latest study by Lancet. It observed a significant increase in deaths over the past decade due to diseases associated with these health risk factors.
Between 1990 and 2013, deaths due to high blood pressure and cholesterol in India have more than doubled, whereas that from outdoor pollution have increased by more than 60% during the period. Deaths from alcohol have also increased by 97%, data collected through analysis of 79 risk factors showed.
The study, assessing the global disease burden, was conducted by an international consortium of researchers led by the University of Washington and included representatives from the Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI).
In 1990, childhood under nutrition was the topmost health risk causing around nearly 8.97 lakh deaths in India. However, the study shows it is no longer among the top ten health risk factors in the country. On the contrary, high blood pressure, which caused over 76 lakh deaths in 1990, was the most serious threat to the health of people with deaths increasing by 106% in 2013.
According to the study, high blood pressure, high blood sugar and indoor pollution together contributed to 3.3 million premature deaths in India in 2013.
The other major contributors to health loss in India are unsafe water sources and tobacco consumption.
Though the contribution of child and maternal under nutrition to health loss have dropped significantly since 1990, these are still substantial contributors to health loss in India, the study said.
"It is remarkable that the contribution of metabolic risk factors such as high blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol, and that of poor diet and alcohol use, to health loss has doubled in India over the past quarter of a century," said study co-author Lalit Dandona, who is also a professor at PHFI.
Experts said findings from the study provide useful pointers for where policy emphasis is needed to improve health in India.

Born at 23 weeks, India's 'miracle preemie' goes home healthy
After suffering through five miscarriages, Dahisar couple Trupti and Santosh Mhabrey believe they have a miracle at hand. Their daughter, Baby Sakshi, is possibly the most premature baby to survive in the country, say doctors who nursed the child for four-and-a-half months in a neonate intensive care unit.
Born at 23 weeks of gestation on May 5, Baby Sakshi, at barely 460gm, weighed much less than an iPad. "As she was about 30cm from head to toe, we were worried about transferring her from the delivery room to the NICU in the usual incubator,'' said neonatologist, Dr Haribalkrishna Balasubramanian, from Surya Hospital, Santa Cruz. Newborns are usually over 50cm in length.
Baby Sakshi belongs to a new group of babies dubbed "micro-preemies'' as they weigh less than 900gm. "After talking to our peers and checking medical literature, we believe Baby Sakshi is the most premature baby to survive in India,'' said Surya Hospital's Dr Bhupendra Avasthi.
Worldwide, the survival of a preterm infant born at 23 weeks is considered an achievement of sorts. "Even developed countries would not revive babies premature than this, since the chances of survival and normal development are bleak,'' said his colleague, Dr Nandkishore Kabra.
Around 22-24 weeks of pregnancy is considered the earliest that a foetus can survive outside the mother's womb. But given the battle between pro-life and anti-abortion factions, many countries do not allow abortions beyond 14 weeks of pregnancy.
Dr Ruchi Nanavati, who heads the neonatology department of KEM Hospital, said, "I cannot say if this is indeed the first 23-weeker to survive in India, but it is admirable that a 460gm baby survived.'' Dr Jayshree Mondkar, who heads the neonatology department at Sion Hospital, said, "She is likely to be among the few born under 25 weeks to look forward to a discharge from the NICU.''
For the 37-year-old parents, their child's survival is the testimony of "our faith, our doctors' skills and God's blessings''. Said Santosh, "We call her Sakshi as she is the testimony of God's will.''
The couple was married for 12 years and Trupti suffered five miscarriages. "I left my job two years back as I underwent IVF treatment,'' said Trupti. Yet on the day after their 12th wedding anniversary on May 1, she suffered bleeding. Her gynecologist conducted tests that indicated that the baby could be born any moment. "We were advised to go to Surya Hospital as it has a maternity ward as well as an NICU,'' said Santosh.
Baby Sakshi was born on the night of May 5. "The concept of Golden Hour in cardiac care is reduced to Golden 10 minutes in neonatal care,'' said Dr Hari. The newborn was given a special medicine to clear her lungs in the delivery room, transferred to the NICU and hooked to a ventilator within 10 minutes.
In the following months, she survived immature lungs, infection, bleeding in the brain, poor growth, drops in hemoglobin and fragile bones. "We could not touch her as her skin would tear instantly,'' said Dr Hari. "It has taken over 85,000 person hours of hard work to see Sakshi get to 1.9kg and take feeds orally without oxygen,'' said Dr Kabra.

New lab-on-chip device to cut health test costs
Scientists have developed a breakthrough lab-on-chip device that can substantially reduce the cost of sophisticated lab tests for medical disorders and diseases such as HIV, Lyme disease and syphilis.
The new device uses miniaturised channels and valves to replace "benchtop" assays - tests that require large samples of blood or other fluids and expensive chemicals that lab technicians manually mix in trays of tubes or plastic plates with cup-like depressions.
"The main advantage is cost - these assays are done in labs and clinics everywhere," said Mehdi Ghodbane, who earned his doctorate in biomedical engineering at Rutgers University.
The lab-on-chip device, which employs microfluidics technology, along with making tests more affordable for patients and researchers, opens doors for new research because of its capability to perform complex analyses using 90 per cent less sample fluid than needed in conventional tests.
"A great deal of research has been hindered because in many cases one is not able to extract enough fluid," said Ghodbane, who now works in biopharmaceutical research and development at GlaxoSmithKline.
The breakthrough also requires one-tenth of the chemicals used in a conventional multiplex immunoassay, which can cost as much as USD 1500.
Additionally, the device automates much of the skilled labour involved in performing tests.
"The results are as sensitive and accurate as the standard bench-top assay," said Martin Yarmush, professor of biomedical engineering at Rutgers University.
Until now, animal research on central nervous system disorders, such as spinal cord injury and Parkinson's disease, has been limited because researchers could not extract sufficient cerebrospinal fluid to perform conventional assays.
"With our technology, researchers will be able to perform large-scale controlled studies with comparable accuracy to conventional assays," Yarmush said.
The discovery could also lead to more comprehensive research on autoimmune joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis through animal studies.
As with spinal fluid, the amount of joint fluid, or synovial fluid, researchers are able to collect from lab animals is minuscule.
The researchers combined several capabilities for the first time in the device they have dubbed "ELISA-on-a-chip" (for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay).
A single device analyses 32 samples at once and can measure widely varying concentrations of as many as six proteins in a sample.
The research was published in the journal Lab on a Chip.

Experts to do research on lifestyle, health of sadhus
Even as the sadhus are a revered lot, very few know how and why they chose the path of spirituality. Besides, factors such as whether the 'bhasma' on the sadhus' body has some scientific base, their lifestyle and its effects on their health still remain a mystery.
Seeing the ongoing Kumbh Mela in Nashik and Trimabakeshwar as an opportunity, a team of about 70 doctors, interns and other medical experts of Dr Vasant Pawar Medical College has decided to take up an extensive research of the sadhus.
Pradeep Barde, in-charge of the Central Research Lab at Dr Vasant Pawar Medical College in Adgaon, said, "The aim of the research is to get information about as many facts of the sadhus as possible. They have an altogether different lifestyle. Their time of waking up in the morning, religious rituals, attire, diet, sleeping habits, celibacy and many other factors must be having different effects on their health. We are collecting the data accordingly."
The surveyors said their aim was to collect data for some 35 researches. The research work will cover issues right from the skin of the sadhus to their teeth. They said while some sadhus may be extremely pleasant to speak, others are the opposite. Taking such facts into consideration, the surveyors have set up medical camps in different Akhadas so that the sadhus turning up for medical check-up or complaining about some ailments can be requested if they can spend some time and give information about their lifestyle.
The doctors said they are trying tried to collect data on the effect of smoking "chillum" on the sadhus, their eye morbidity, ear diseases, peripheral vascular diseases, spondylosis and orthopaedic morbidity, prevalence of substance abuse, lung disease, respiratory diseases, mental health, etc.
Balaji Almale, professor and head of the department of community medicine at Dr Vasant Pawar Medical College, said while they have checked over 2,000 sadhus for different diseases, they have taken information from 700 of them for collecting data for research. The officials said Mrunal Patil, dean of the college, and secretary Nilima Pawar were enthusiastic to provide medical help to the sadhus and also conduct research on their lifestyle and health.
The data collection work will continue till September 25 or may be extended further. The surveyors said they could easily see huge different between the health of the sadhus of Vaishnav Akhadas and those of Shaiva Akhadas.
Most of the sadhus suffer from hypertension and diabetes and are not aware that they suffer from these diseases. Their other medical complaints include respiratory illnesses, joint pains and stomach-related problems.

Mouth cancer eats up tobacco addict's face
Imagine having to live without a cheek, upper and lower jaws, parts of eyes, nose, sinus and the base of the skull. That's the story of Adil (name changed), a mouth cancer patient from Shivamogga who lost a portion of his face due to tobacco addiction.
Today, a piece of bone taken from his leg serves as his lower jaw, muscle from the chest forms a part of his palate and his thigh muscle serves as his tongue. The 33-year-old recently underwent a re-constructive surgery during which a tumour as big as a cricket ball was removed from his mouth.
"I have not seen a patient undergo such extensive surgery earlier. He was addicted to zarda for over five years and had tried alternative medicine. When he came to me six months ago, he was in the fourth stage of cancer; chemotherapy and radio therapy didn't help," said Dr Vishal Rao, head and neck surgeon from HCG Cancer Centre who operated upon him. Adil will soon be shifted to the ICU.
Adil underwent a nine-hour plastic surgery to get rid of the tumour a week ago and was operated upon by Dr Prashanth Puranik, a plastic surgeon, and a team of oncologists. Next, he'll undergo speech therapy. The man who used to run a small business in Shivamogga is the father of five kids.
"The children would be scared to see him; he'd be stinking, bleeding, with worms coming out his mouth," said his wife. Doctors removed over 15 maggots from his mouth.

Pakistan holds rare cross-party talks on Thursday designed to build unity in the face of mounting American pressure to act against the Al-Qaeda-linked Haqqani network or face the consequences.
And given the US claims about Pakistan government ties to the network, analysts have warned there is a risk Islamabad will be branded a state sponsor of terror.
Unease has been growing in Pakistan over the US demands to act against the Haqqanis but Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani is expected to use the conference to try to rally support behind the government and military rather than formulate new strategies.
Members of Gilani's fragile coalition, the opposition and the main religious parties are expected to attend the Thursday afternoon talks. Civilian politicians will likely fall into line behind the military, considered the chief arbiter of power in Pakistan.
Gilani's office said the conference would Top party leaders, including opposition leader Nawaz Sharif and heose a threat to Pakistan. ads of Islamic parties such as pro-Taliban cleric Fazlur Rehman have signalled that they will be there.
"All the political parties will plan a road map for the future and government will ensure implementation of this strategy," said Information Minister Firdous Ashiq Awan.
Retired general turned political analyst Talat Masood told AFP that the government and the military want to defuse the latest crisis.
"The gathering is intended to send a strong signal from the country's political parties that they stand united behind the military in the wake of US pressures," he said.
"The conference will serve as political catharsis to let passions cool off."
Gilani's main ruling Pakistan People's Party (PPP), which leads a precarious majority in parliament, faces strong domestic criticism for supporting the United States in its war on terror and providing logistical support.
US allegations of Pakistan waging a proxy war in Afghanistan triggered a frenzy of anger this week with several thousand people attending rallies.
I predict one more big attack on american troops in Afghanistan then there will be war.
Nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan agreed on Wednesday to more than double trade within three years and open a second border trading post as they seek to buttress their peace process.
Deepening economic engagement between the two countries, which have fought three wars against each other since independence from Britain in 1947, is seen as crucial to establishing lasting peace in the troubled South Asian region.

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - U.S. military action against insurgents in Pakistan would be unacceptable and the country's army would be capable of responding, intelligence chief Ahmed Shuja Pasha told a meeting of political leaders in Islamabad, according to media reports.
Express News TV cited Pasha as saying an "American attack on Pakistan in the name of (fighting) extremism is not acceptable."
However, several television news reports said Pasha had also told an all-party meeting to discuss the crisis in ties between Washington and Islamabad that Pakistan would not allow the situation to get to a "point of no return."
The effort to ensure that diplomacy and calmer heads prevail at a time of fragile relations between Pakistan and the United States is on. However, the effort notwithstanding, Islamabad has made it clear to Washington that, if it comes down to it, Pakistan will be forced to retaliate if American forces attempt to launch a unilateral strike on the country's tribal belt.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The Express Tribune that Pasha had informed his counterpart that the Pakistani people will not tolerate any US misadventure and in that case the government will be left with no other option but to retaliate.
"We cannot be caught off guard this time," the official told lawmakers, referring to the raid that embarrassed the country's powerful security establishment about its ignorance of the world's most wanted man's whereabouts. "This time, we will give them a surprise if they (Americans) dare," he said.
U.S. State Secretary Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday that Washington is in final review on decision to designate the Haqqani network as a terrorist organization.
"We're in the final, formal review that has to be undertaken to make a government-wide decision to designate the network as a foreign terrorist organization," Clinton told reporters at a joint press conference with visiting Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohammed Kamel Amr.
so would this mean we would go in to Pakistan if all else fails? what do you think?
Named after its leader Jalaluddin Haqqani, the Haqqani Network is a group within the insurgency in Afghanistan that is based out of North Wazirstan in the Pakistani Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). The group has been active mainly in the east of Afghanistan—in Paktia, Paktika, Khost, Ghazni Wardak and even Kabul provinces.
so the Intel, CIA, know that ISI is helping and backing a known terrorist group that do carry out attacks on US forces in Afghanistan, but operate freely in Pakistan. sounds like a new war front to me.
In 1995 the network was recruited by the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to support the Taliban and its fight to establish an Islamic fundamentalist regime. As a result of this longstanding relationship, the ISI continues to view the Haqqani network as its most reliable regional proxy.

Belmont considers strengthening town administrator position
Belmont's Government Structure Review Committee recommended Monday night that the town strengthen the position of the town administrator, a move that would shift some power away from the Board of Selectmen.
The Committee, headed by Paul Solomon, also suggested reorganizing the Municipal Light Board, which is currently made up of the members of the Board of Selectmen, and making it instead an independent board that would answer to the selectmen.
The biggest proposed change – a stronger administrator – has been a topic in town for a long time. In January of this year, the Board of Selectmen voted to redefine the town administrator as the "chief administrative officer for the town," a move that gave the position more gravitas but not more actual power.
The Committee goes further, offering a new job description for the administrator that includes power to appoint, remove and discipline department heads, and appoint, remove and discipline the directors of all elected and appointed boards, with the exception of the School Committee, the Municipal Light Department and the Housing Authority.
The administrator would also have the authority to centralize budget and personnel functions of all elected and appointed boards; centralize lines of authority and control over buildings, parks, fields, grounds, information technology, purchasing and health insurance; and ensure close alignment of collective bargaining and labor relations of all municipal employee unions.
Strengthening the administrator position would allow the Board of Selectmen to focus on setting policy. Currently, the board deals with a variety of day-to-day issues like one-day liquor licenses and street signs. Officials have said that it is a cumbersome way to run the government.
"I think the town administrator should be the chief executive officer, the board should be the executive officers," said selectmen chairman Mark Paolillo on Monday night.
Board of Health chairman David Alper requested that the Committee meet with the boards that would be affected by the change before it formally presents final findings.
The Committee hopes to present its final recommendations by the end of October so that the Board of Selectmen could bring proposed changes before a Special Town Meeting, if the selectmen decide to call one. However, it will be tight, said officials on Monday night, to try to meet with all the boards in such a short period of time.

On August 25, the Cabinet passed a comprehensive bill amending the German Federal Data Privacy Protection Act. The bill now goes to the German Parliament. A brief overview follows, discussing the most important changes that in all probability will soon become mandatory federal law.
Video SurveillanceSurveillance of business premises primarily used by employees for matters that have to do with their own lives (sanitary facilities, changing rooms and bedders) will be categorically prohibited. Covert video surveillance will only be permitted if there are actual clues and grounds for suspicion of crimes or serious breaches of contract. Hence, routine deployment of covert video surveillance will be prohibited. Open video surveillance – for example at company entrances or for quality control purposes – will be allowed "in as far as it is necessary for safeguarding important business interests", if it is not contrary to employees' interests and if employees are made aware of the camera.
GPS SurveillanceEmployers are permitted to track the location of an employee during working hours and time spent on standby duty only, that is, not during time off or leave. If employees are permitted to use their company car, for example, for private purposes, GPS tracking of their location will not be permitted during the private use. Even the collection, use and processing of data during working hours and time spent on standby duty will not be permissible unless this is necessary for operational reasons, e.g., when the employee is transporting valuable papers and the employer therefore has a considerable interest in continuously tracking the location of its property.

Further, IP Executives can bulk assign and reassign Office Action responses and docketing to in-house staff and outside counsel based on business needs. ANAQUA STUDIO automates and streamlines Office Action review and response drafting making patent attorneys highly productive.
- Office Actions are dragged and dropped into STUDIO, which identifies the claims at issue and populates a response template for the drafter to fill out
- IP Executives and stakeholders can review Office Actions and leave or answer comments for the patent attorney
- To assist in deadline management, ANAQUA's law engine provides escalation rules and alerts to a manager if there's a delay in completing an Office Action response by internal staff or outside counsel
For the annuity payment process, the Patent Management Module provides portfolio reviews and payment decision workflows with an integration to ANAQUA Services as well as the ability to interface with other annuity service providers. Obtain quotes and place orders directly from the patent record screen and capture budgets and costs in the system with the optional Invoicing and Budgeting Module. ANAQUA Services provides past and future payment data to allow cost projection reports at the patent and portfolio level.
Third Party Portfolio Analysis
The Third Party Patents Module supports the import and analysis of portfolios and patents with images owned by potential licensees, competitors, and other entities.
- Upload third party patents in bulk then analyze in the same way as client assets
- Link to General Matters, IP Reviews, Conflicts, and Agreements
- Automatically classify third party patents using the same classifications used for your own patent portfolio using semantic analysis of a defined set of document texts
- Leverage the IP Review module to manage more in-depth analysis of specific third party patents

A single 135mm fan is used to cool the X4 1050W, and a black wire grill with brushed Ultra X4 logo protects the blades. The X4 1050W is rated for 24A on the +3.3v, 30A on the +5v and a whopping 76A on the single +12v rail, which is preferred over most multi-rail +12v configurations for high-end graphics card setups. This is the same principle that was used in the X3 series and we're happy to see Ultra continue this in the X4 line. The UL certification E239028 indicates that this power supply is manufactured by Andyson International, a Taiwanese OEM for brand names such as Hiper, Raidmax, Aerocool and Sunbeamtech in addition to Ultra. If weight is any indication of the quality of components used, the 1050W comes in at a hefty four and a half pounds.
The X4 600W shares the appearance of the 1050W, down to the exact same finish, grill treatment and dimensions. Indeed the only way they can be differentiated is by examining the number of modular connections or checking the label. Just as we saw with the cable count, the 600W offers one less SATA connector and only one each of the 6-pin and 6+2-pin PCI-E cables. The ratings for the +3.3v and +5v are 24A each, with 37A reserved for the single +12v, less than half that available on the 1050W. Andyson is listed as the manufacturer for the 600W also, and it weighs only half a pound less at four even.

11 Sep Black Cherry and Raspberry Galette with Walnut Frangipane and Ginger
Do you really need me to write out the instructions with a recipe title like that? Clearly I didn't name the dish with Twitter in mind. Instead, I created this for my parents' anniversary.
When asked what he wanted for dessert, Dad requested a "red galette." After a bit of probing, I learned this was code for "use raspberries." When I asked what he wanted to go with the raspberries his response was blunt. "No peaches!" Turns out Dad likes his peaches in their natural state, not cooked. So much for the peach galette I made him when I thought he didn't like pavlova. Perhaps I should start issuing surveys before planning a menu for family events.
So, with walnuts in the pantry and a batch of this season's black cherries in the freezer, I riffed on the ruby red rhubarb and raspberry galette my father liked so much. I even made an oil-based pastry so my newly dairy-free sister could enjoy dessert. It was a bit brittle and needed the support of a pie plate, but I got bonus points for the attempt.
Despite springing a few leaks, the results were deemed Breakfast Worthy, which in our house, is the ultimate compliment.
Got a favourite galette recipe? What combination of fruit do you use?
- 1 recipe of your favourite pie crust dough
- 1 tbsp milk
- raw sugar
- ½ cup walnuts
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 tbsp crystallized ginger
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tbsp orange zest, finely grated
- 2 cups black cherries (fresh or frozen but unthawed) cut in half
- 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen but unthawed)
- ¼ cup flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 tbsp minute tapioca
- 2 tbsp crystallized ginger, minced
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- On a lightly floured board, roll the pastry dough out to form a large 10- to 12-inch circle.
- Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Transfer rolled dough to the parchment lined sheet.
- In a food processor, grind the walnuts, ½ cup sugar, egg, crystallized ginger and 1 tsp vanilla to form a paste. Add the orange zest and pulse to blend.
- Spread the walnut paste on the pastry, leaving a 1½ to 2 inch border.
- In a large bowl, toss the black cherries and raspberries together. Add the flour, sugar, tapioca and crystallized ginger. Toss to coat the fruit well. Add the vanilla and toss again.
- Spoon fruit filling evenly over the frangipane paste. Fold the pastry edge over to form a rim. Brush the top of the pastry rim with milk and sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling at the edges.
- Allow to cool before eating. Can be eaten plain, or with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or creme fraiche.

"For Michael Sandel, justice is not a spectator sport," The Nation's reviewer of Justice remarked. In his acclaimed book―based on his legendary Harvard course―Sandel offers a rare education in thinking through the complicated issues and controversies we face in public life today. It has emerged as a most lucid and engaging guide for those who yearn for a more robust and thoughtful public discourse. "In terms we can all understand," wrote Jonathan Rauch in The New York Times, Justice "confronts us with the concepts that lurk . . . beneath our conflicts."
Affirmative action, same-sex marriage, physician-assisted suicide, abortion, national service, the moral limits of markets―Sandel relates the big questions of political philosophy to the most vexing issues of the day, and shows how a surer grasp of philosophy can help us make sense of politics, morality, and our own convictions as well.
Justice is lively, thought-provoking, and wise―an essential new addition to the small shelf of books that speak convincingly to the hard questions of our civic life.
"[Sandel] The most famous teacher of philosophy in the world [has] shown that it is possible to take philosophy into the public square without insulting the public's intelligence." ―Michael Ignatieff, The New Republic
"Michael Sandel. . . is currently the most effective communicator of ideas in English." ―The Guardian
"This book is absolutely indispensable for anyone who wants to be a good citizen. It shows how to balance competing values, a talent our nation desperately needs nowadays." ―Walter Isaacson, author of Benjamin Franklin: An American Life
"Sandel dazzles in this sweeping survey of hot topics . . . Erudite, conversational and deeply humane, this is truly transformative reading." ―Publishers Weekly, starred review

Once again, Lights are going to Kansas City
MSU-N men making a fourth straight trip to the NAIA national tournament
March 13, 2014
The Montana State University-Northern Lights are getting to be old hands at traveling to Kansas City every spring. And with each trip to the NAIA national tournament, the Lights' program grows more and more consistent.
Wednesday afternoon, Northern found out it will be making its fourth straight trip to the Buffalo Funds NAIA national tournament and the Lights' fifth in the last six seasons under head coach Shawn Huse.
MSU-N (23-8) finished ranked No. 23 in the last NAIA Coaches Poll, and received the No. 7 at-large bid to the national tourney. Overall, Northern is 3-7 all-time in national tournament games, and the Lights are making their eighth appearance in school history.
"I told the guys today when we got word, that about 75 percent of all college basketball players won't get to play in a national tournament of any kind this season," Huse said. "And these guys won't take this one for granted. They are very excited and are looking forward to this opportunity."
Northern, which drew Freed-Hardeman (27-5), the runner-up out of the American Midwest Conference, in the first round, is taking largely the same team that earned an at-large berth to last year's national tourney. The Lights lost in the first round a year ago to Evangel, and this season has been all about getting a chance to get back there.
The Lights survived one of the toughest Frontier seasons in recent history, going 11-5 and finishing in a tie for second place. MSU-N had a shot to win the league title outright on the last weekend of the regular season, and though they were upset by UGF in the first round of the Frontier playoffs, the Lights did enough to establish themselves as an at-large team.
"I'm really very proud of what this team has accomplished," Huse said. "Yes, we sputtered at the end a little bit, but our body of work through the entire conference season was pretty impressive in my opinion.
"There was a time when it looked like no one was going to separate themselves," he added. "This league was just so tough this year. It was really hard to win games, at home or away. But our guys took charge and won some important and tough games and eventually, we were one of three teams to finally get some separation, along with Rocky and Westminster. So we feel very fortunate we were one of those teams and I'm proud of the guys for making themselves one of those teams."
Now, an experienced Lights' squad heads back to Kansas City for a shot at redemption. In five trips to the national tourney in the last six seasons, the Lights have been on the losing end of some tough first-round games. But that doesn't take away from the consistency of the program Huse has built, and receiving yet another bid to the NAIA's big dance is a testament to what kind of program Northern is.
"This group takes the tradition we've built here very seriously," Huse said. "And that's why they have worked so hard and fought so hard this season. They wanted to continue the tradition that has been built here and they accomplished that this year.
"I'm just so proud of this team," Huse said. "This has been a very challenging season and in a league so tough, there were times when it looked like we might not get here. But they stayed focused all year long and they did what they had to do to put themselves in the position they are in now, and they are really excited for the opportunity to go back and compete at the national tournament.
The Lights will face Freed-Hardeman of Tennessee in the opening round of the 2014 Buffalo Funds NAIA national tournament next Thursday at 9:45 a.m. at the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City. The winner will face either Talladega of Alabama or Evangel in the Sweet 16.

The U.N. recently released a report extolling the virtues of edible insects as an environmentally responsible alternative to meat as a source of protein and other nutrients. With their high fat, protein, fiber, and mineral contents, edible insects certainly pack a healthy punch! What's even better is that the cost to our environment to raise insects for consumption is far less than the impact of raising large livestock for meat.

Infographic Friday: Buzzing Off, How Dying Bees Affects You
Honey bees are super pollinators and have an enormous impact on the environment. Since the mid 2000's their numbers have been declining rapidly. Scientist are unable to explain their disappearance but one thing is for certain, the absence of bees would leave much of the world's food supply in question. Without pollinating insect life, fruits, vegetables, and field crops would be obsolete causing extreme hardship for the farm and food industry and leaving their future, and our survival, in question.
Earth Watch: Right Whales Need Your Help Right Now
The North Atlantic Right Whale is bigger than a humpback whale and longer than a Greyhound Bus. At present, they are among the most endangered whales in the world with their numbers dwindling to about 350 worldwide. Even though they are protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act, there is a new threat to their survival.
Sinking Our Economy, Cementing Our Destiny
I recently heard about, and subsequently registered to be active in the AmericaSpeaks National Town Meeting on our Budget and the Economy.
After reading the press release covering the National Town Meeting, and it's 19 participating large cities (that were satellite connected and another 50+ smaller cities that were "on their own"), I knew I had to be present to deliver my side of what I perceive as the reason our federal government is in deep debt, and what I perceive and believe are the reasons for our economy being in such a frightening transformation for most people.
Connecting With Animals
This was sent to me by Susan Eirich of Earthfire Institute, with whom I recently went on Vision Quest.
It is amazing to me that Susan and Jean have shown that these powerful animals we so deeply fear, have become so intricately and intimately connected to human beings. It is for me, very emotionally stirring to see humans and "wild" animals playing in this manner. I cried with joy as I watched these stirring videos.
Please enjoy the videos and, by all means, share them with everyone you know.

If the U.S. Supreme Court removes the God designed, the natural feature and purpose of marriage for one special interest group, will not the court also need to remove the parameters of marriage for all special-interest groups?
Why only homosexuals? Why not polygamists and bisexuals? Should not bisexuals also have the "right" to be married to both a woman and a man simultaneously if they "love" them both?
What supporters of marriage extinction fail to understand is that natural marriage flows from the laws of nature. Natural marriage is uniquely valuable because we are gendered species. The idea that all of a sudden men and women are interchangeable will not survive because it is against nature and inconsistent with reality.
The truth is not concerned with or affected by our unnatural sexual preferences. Fathers cannot mother, mothers cannot father. The fact that it is ideal for children to have both parents in their lives flows from nature, not from "hatred." For anything- and-everything marriage supporters that may be offensive, but reality is not void of the laws of nature, nor God's purpose.
Is creating hundreds of thousands of fatherless and motherless homes good for marriage and, most importantly, children? Maybe the court should also find the law of gravity to be unconstitutional because it discriminates against everyone who cannot fly. We can then launch ourselves of buildings, patting ourselves on the back on the way down over this new-found "right" without fear of the landing.

No. 3610
What would an '83 G&L SC-2™ be if Leo Fender recreated it for today's scene? The crew at G&L think it would be a lot like the new Fallout. After all, when inspiration comes from original G&L SC guitars modded by the likes of Devo's Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh and Band Of Susans' Robert Poss, there are lots of cues to follow.
The SC-2 was born as a cool looking, comfortable and light axe that could be thrashed mercilessly and not miss a beat. Fallout keeps those qualities in the mix but branches out to cover today's sophisticated textures and tones. This beautiful Redburst beauty has Leo's rock solid Saddle Lock bridge, thick slab Rosewood fingerboard, Pearloid Pickguard and G&G USA black Tolex hardshell case.
Fallout shares the original Leo Fender-designed SC-2 body shape, comfortable, sustain-rich G&L Saddle Lock bridge and easy-playing medium-C-shape neck with a 12" radius and medium-jumbo frets.
From dirty riffs to jangly hooks, Fallout delivers with a great pairing of a G&L Alnico P-90 neck pickup wound in-house and a Seymour Duncan JB bridge humbucker with coil tap.
The look transcends the SC-2's simplicity with a sweeping pickguard that complements the body shape perfectly. Balancing out the aesthetics is a sleeker interpretation of the '80s-era G&L headstock shape designed exclusively for the Fallout.
Founded by Leo Fender in 1980, G&L USA instruments continue to be made in the historic G&L facility on Fender Avenue in Fullerton, California, the Birthplace of Bolt-on™.
