State Legislators Who Support the Hobby
State legislators around the country with a common goal to support the motor vehicle hobby have joined the State Automotive Enthusiast Leadership Caucus. The Caucus is a nonpartisan group of state lawmakers whose common thread is a love and appreciation for automobiles. The Caucus will help raise the motor vehicle hobby's profile in the state legislatures and in the eyes of the public. Working in state capitals, many of these legislators have sought to preserve and protect the hobby by seeking the amendment of existing motor vehicle statutes and creating new programs to safeguard and expand the hobby. Over the past several years, their work has brought a series of significant legislative accomplishments for the vehicle enthusiast community on issues ranging from equipment standards to registration classifications, and from emissions test exemptions to hobbyist rights. By joining the Caucus, these legislators have demonstrated their commitment to upholding the rights of vehicle enthusiasts. In addition, hobbyists will be able to quickly identify which state legislators have chosen to be recognized for their support of this great American hobby.

As residents of Benghazi, Libya, marked the anniversary of Libya's revolution on Feb. 19, the head of the city's diminished Catholic community spoke of a need to rebuild his congregation and of the uncertainties ahead. "Thank God everything passed peacefully," said Bishop Sylvester Magro after a Mass attended by just a few dozen worshipers, most of them Filipinos. Beyond the gates of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, the city's Mediterranean-facing boulevards were crammed with thousands of revelers, guarded by heavily armed militia and a fledgling black-clad police force. Libya is an almost entirely Muslim country, with Christianity restricted to enclaves of foreign workers. Benghazi was once home to a 2,000-strong Catholic community. Now just 300 Catholics remain. Despite the official end to the war in late October and the return of relative security in eastern Libya, Bishop Magro said Catholic migrants are only slowly returning. The prospect of a new, more Islamic government for Libya has raised some concerns over future restrictions on the country's Christian communities.

Fatal accident in Port Arthur
A young Port Arthur resident was killed early July 7 when his vehicle left the road and struck a utility pole in the 4800 block of Dryden Road in Port Arthur.
According to a news release from PAPD, officers were dispatched to that location at approximately 6:19 a.m. on Sunday morning in reference to a major accident. The driver, 17-year-old Christopher Jones, was the lone occupant of the SUV involved in the accident and was later pronounced dead by Judge Tom Gillam. Police are still investigating the accident.

GourmetChef needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 68 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
Here's your chance to design something and see it on grocery shelves across the US! We're an innovative food company with a unique product, but unless the customer notices us on the shelves it's all for naught. Do you think you have what it takes to go up against the mega-food conglomerates, and make a design which can attract the consumer's eye?
In addition to the prize, we're also giving away a case of our pasta - worth over $50! :)
FiberGourmet manufactures a line of reduced-calorie, high-fiber foods that both taste good and are good for you. We're currently expanding our pasta selection (more shapes & sizes), and want to overhaul all our packaging once we're at it.
You might want to stop by our website and see our current product line.
The new packaging will be in stand-up boxes, the same size as our macaroni & cheese. We'll be using it for our elbow macaroni, penne, shells, and lasagna, and will probably introduce elements back into the mac & cheese itself for the next printing. The box template is available here.
We'd also like to standardize our line, and will use a similar design for the fettuccine nest bags. Our current bag is available here.
We only absolutely need a design for the front panel, since we have a ton of info to throw on the back & side panels, and might not have room to maneuver. But if you have some ideas about how to arrange it or what to put there, they're very welcome. Our current mac & cheese box is available here, so you can see what kind of stuff is back there currently.
- Two big, bright-colored stripes through the box, kind of like this. One stripe will emphasize the calories, and one will emphasize the fiber. These are the details for the calories and fiber:
- "40% fewer calories" - that's what really sets us apart from everyone else. This should be together with the comparison between our pasta and standard pasta, and the numbers (210 calories vs. 130 calories) (FDA requirement to have it somewhere on the package at least).
- 18g fiber per serving / 72% Daily Value of Fiber per serving- it's a big selling point too. Compare to 2g in standard pasta, or 5g in whole wheat pasta. Can also make a point that its a great way for kids to get their fiber.
- FiberGourmet logo (available here - we're stuck with it now, I'm afraid ;)
- Name of product (Light Elbows, Light Penne, etc.). Big, important. For technical reasons it should be in black (this is because we intend to have the same set of color plates for all 4 box designs, and only swap out the black plate between each design. This is necessary for the different UPC's and the statement of identity (name of product). The term "light" (as defined by the FDA) means at least 33% fewer calories than the standard version, by the way.
- Some tag line: "The healthiest pasta in the world", "The world's only reduced-calorie pasta", "The only light pasta on the market", "The highest fiber pasta on the planet", "Tastes good and good for you", "Tastes just like standard pasta", "No one else even comes close!" (pick one or two)
- Non-GMO
- No artificial colors or flavors
- NET WT has to go somewhere on the bottom of front panel
- Possible "Net Carbs" comparison We might move this to the back panel, though
- We couldn't use the clear window on the mac & cheese because the cheese pouch might get in the way during filling, but we definitely want to use it for the plain pasta we're designing for now (we're proud of how standard it looks, nothing at all like those nasty whole wheat pastas!). Window outline is included in template.
- Something that looks like all the other pastas on the market
- Something that looks old fashioned and stodgy, your grandma's pasta
- A design that's too "busy" - we've had this complaint about our current mac & cheese. Too many fonts, colors, etc.
- A design that's too "empty" - we've had this complaint about our current fettucine nest bags. Yes, you can't win ;)

The primary task of Reporting Services is to provide a clear and independent record of all the proceedings of the Legislative Council and the Legislative Assembly.
Reporting Services publishes Hansard, the official record of parliamentary debates.
We also report and provide transcripts of evidence given to select and standing committees of the Parliament, both in-house and throughout the state.
Reporting Services provides television and audio services for the Parliament. The proceedings of the Legislative Council and the Legislative Assembly are televised in-house and streamed on POWAnet, the intranet, and the internet.
Approximately 30 staff are involved in reporting and disseminating the parliamentary debates.
The history of parliamentary debates is similar to the description given of the history of a newspaper. The first day it is read with eagerness, the next day it is thrown away; after the lapse of some years it is worth its weight in gold. The ancient volumes of Hansard, imperfect as they are, are often intensely interesting reading for the light they throw on dead statesmen, or past conditions of society, legislation and controversies.
Lord Cadogan, Lord Privy Seal, in a draft report submitted to the Joint Committee of the British Parliament on
Debates and Proceedings in Parliament. Lords Sessional Papers, XV, 1988.
Official reporting of parliamentary proceedings began in the British Parliament in 1803 when the press were allocated seats in the public gallery of the House of Commons. The reports were published in William Cobbett's Parliamentary Debates. Luke Hansard was the British Government's printer at that time. Luke's son, Thomas Curson Hansard, in 1811 purchased Cobbett's interest in the publication of parliamentary debates, and in 1829 he decided that the title page should bear his name. Since then the Official Report of the House of Commons has usually been known as Hansard, and the name has been adopted for the official reports of a number of legislatures throughout the commonwealth.
Since 1896, Hansard reporters have been providing clear and independent reports of the debates of the Parliament of Western Australia.
In 1996, public access to parliamentary debates was increased when in-house broadcasting of the chambers began, and the broadcast of parliamentary debates is now streamed to the internet.
Hansard is not a verbatim transcript; rather, it is a full report in the first person. The member's words are used. However, obvious mistakes are corrected and redundancies and needless repetition are removed. Clarity is provided; ambiguity and elegant variation are avoided. Nothing is omitted from the transcript that adds to the meaning of the speech or illustrates the arguments advanced, and nor are words altered unless they are incorrectly used.
(Erskine May's Parliamentary Practice).
Hansard reporters sit at the end of the table of the House to take their report. Each reporter spends 10 minutes in the chamber recording the debates, and then has about an hour to transcribe and edit that portion of the debates. About seven or eight reporters are rostered on to each chamber.
A variety of methods are used to record the debates. Most reporters use a Stenograph machine to write shorthand, which is translated instantaneously into conventional written English (computer-aided transcription). Some reporters use Pitman's shorthand and dictate their shorthand using voice recognition technology; and others transcribe turns directly from audio using voice recognition technology. Shorthand reporters are capable of writing between 180 and 200 words a minute.
The debates are edited to conform to Reporting Services' editing guidelines, which are based on the brief provided in Erskine May's Parliamentary Practice.
Subeditors review the reporters' copy of debates, and are responsible for ensuring consistency and making decisions on style. Subeditors are also responsible for preparing the daily and weekly Hansard for publication.
The senior word processor operator/indexer compiles the questions on notice and paginates the weekly Hansard for printing. She also compiles the index of speeches and subjects, which is published in March each year.
Committees are reported in a variety of ways, depending on their location and the resources available at the time. Committee hearings held in Perth are generally covered by reporters working on a 10-minute rotation. However, if a number of committee meetings are being held at the same time, one or two shorthand reporters may cover a hearing for up to two hours. Committees held outside Perth are generally reported using digital audio recorders, and are transcribed at a later date.
Transcripts of evidence given to parliamentary committees can be found on the Committees page.
The AV Control Room is responsible for ensuring a broadcast-quality recording of the debates in each chamber that is reticulated around the building through the CCTV system, to ministerial offices and to the internet.
A full-time audio visual operator/supervisor coordinates four casual audio visual operators. All operators have experience in broadcasting.
All proceedings have been recorded and archived since May 2003. Recordings of recent sitting days can be found on the Parliament's website.
Audio visual operators also assist with AV requirements for parliamentary functions and chamber events.
Hansard is published by the State Law Publisher in daily proof and weekly editions, and in bound volumes at the end of each year. A cumulative index is published in a separate volume. The bound volumes are the official and permanent record of parliamentary debates, and they incorporate corrections made after the publication of the weekly Hansard.
Uncorrected Hansard (the proof version) is available on the Parliament's website about three hours after the house rises. This version is placed on the internet for public information only, and may not be quoted. At this point, the transcript is still undergoing an exhaustive checking and correcting process.
The final, corrected Hansard is available on the Parliament's website progressively from the Friday of the sitting week. The corrected Hansard incorporates corrections made to the proof version.

Student, 17, charged with murder in deadly knifing at Houston-area high school
SPRING, Texas – A 17-year-old male student has been charged with murder in a deadly knife fight at a Houston-area high school.
A Harris County Sheriff's Office statement says Luis Alonzo Alfaro was charged in the fight at Spring High School that killed a student Wednesday.
The stabbing happened during a fight between several students in a school corridor. The sheriff's statement says that during the fight, Alfaro pulled a knife and stabbed a 17-year-old student to death and wounded three other students. The three survivors were treated at a hospital and discharged.
The statement says Alfaro admitted the stabbing under questioning by sheriff's homicide detectives.
School district officials have canceled classes at the high school for the rest of the week.

So, are those Boston sports teams' glasses half-full, or half-empty?
First, let me say glasses containing 50 percent of their potential volume are always half-empty, and I'm an optimistic person.

Back in March I predicted in print the American League pennant races. It turns out the smartest thing I wrote was this:
"Well, to start with, the standard disclaimer: Who knows?"
This, not so smart: "2014? Well, the Sox look good."
I expected Boston to compete with the Yankees for a Wild Card playoff berth. To be fair, the Yankees remain in the Wild Card race despite losing four-fifths of their projected starting rotation.
It won't take too much straining of the gray matter for any Red Sox fan to know what series Francona is talking about.
For those still in doubt, here's Curt Schilling talking about the same seven games, except before it made baseball history: "I'm not sure of any scenario more enjoyable than making 55,000 people from New York shut up."
Although we in the Great White North are all still suffering through snow, ice and temperatures colder than an NFL owner's heart, rumor has it that the first day of spring coincides with the publication date for this issue of the Independent.
My dogs, who these days often dig in their heels at the doorway in protest when asked to venture out into the frozen tundra, certainly don't trust the calendar.
I will readily admit to being grumpy when Jose Lobaton's home run sailed over the fence in Tampa Bay's miserable excuse for a baseball park on Monday night.
It would have been great to see the Boston Red Sox sweep the Rays and get plenty of rest before the American League Championship Series, or ALCS (an abbreviation that sounds uncomfortably like a disease).
But it wasn't meant to be, and I just clicked off the TV before Lobaton lumbered all the way around the bases, and I went to bed.

NEWBERRY, S.C. – In a game that yielded only 99 total points on 118 field goal attempts, Newberry College improved to 5-0 on the early season with a 65-34 victory over Coker College Saturday afternoon at Eleazer Arena.
The Lady Cobras (1-2) shot a dismal 21.6 percent from the floor, including just four field goals made in the second half.
Unlike the majority of games this season, Newberry actually trailed in the early going. After jumping out to a 5-0 lead on a lay-up from Lady Indian junior Tonique Frasier, Coker went on a 13-7 run capped off by Temeca Spain's jumper at 11:38.
Over the next 11 minutes, the scarlet and gray proceeded to out score the Lady Cobras by a 21-point margin to gain a 38-18 lead by halftime.
Frasier and junior point guard Monica Alexander each totaled nine first half points and sophomore Carnicha Bellinger added eight points and nine rebounds.
The second half was more of the same for the Lady Cobras. Coker was only able to cash in on 14.8 percent of attempted shots and were out-rebounded 27-20.
For Newberry, four starters turned in double-digit efforts in points. Bellinger recorded a double-double with a team-high 14 rebounds to compliment her 10 points.
Frasier finished with 13 points and seven boards while junior Ashlee Wright showcased an all-around game with 11 points, five rebounds, and three assists in 17 minutes of play.
Alexander matched Frasier's team-high 13 points on 6-10 shooting from the floor. The Norcross, Ga. native also scratched out four steals and three rebounds.
No Coker College player picked up more than seven points. Australian Madison Bycroft and Finn Lotta Aaltonen each posted seven. Aaltonen hit just two of her 12 shots, but did lead the Lady Cobra's in rebounds with nine.
The Newberry College Lady Indian basketball team is next in action on Tuesday, November 28, at Eleazer Arena against Claflin University. Tip-off is slated for 7 p.m.

A Greener View: Strawberry pots
by Jeff Rugg
Q: A local store is selling strawberry pots already filled with strawberry plants and I was wondering how to take care of them and if this is a good way to grow plants. How long will I get strawberries?
A: Strawberry pots can be a great way to grow strawberries, herbs and small annual flowering plants. A strawberry pot is a flower pot usually less than two feet tall that has a series of holes around the sides where additional plants are planted. They can be made from clay or ceramic pottery, plastic and even wood.
Plastic pots can be lightweight for use on balconies, but they can also blow over. Clay pots that have not been sprayed on the inside with a waterproofing agent such as clear acrylic can break down over a year or two. Untreated pots soak up water from the soil and evaporate it into the air, so they require more careful watering to keep the roots moist. Ceramic pots that are coated on the inside can last, but are often very heavy.
Strawberries can be grown in any container, but these pots offer several advantages to many gardeners for other kinds of plants. They allow several plants to be planted in a very small area. They often have six to eight holes so you can plant six different kinds of herbs in one small spot. They can be placed on a patio or balcony so anyone can grow herbs and strawberries just about anywhere. If you fill the pot with new sterile soil, you won't have any weeding to do and the strawberry roots will have fewer disease problems.
Strawberries are often planted in these pots because they are small plants with a shallow root system, so each plant doesn't compete with the others for water. The fruit will often turn out better as well since they are not growing on the ground where they are susceptible to bacterial and fungal disease problems. Strawberries can be planted in the pots in areas of the country that can't grow them successfully in the ground. The plants are replaced each spring.
All it takes to plant one of these layered pots is to cover the bottom hole with a piece of screen, cloth or anything that will let the water out, but not the soil. Never add a layer of gravel to the bottom of the pot. It does not increase drainage. In fact, it slows the drainage in the bottom layer of soil. Fill the pot to the bottom of the first set of side holes and spread out the plant roots, then add more soil up to the next holes and repeat until you can plant a few in the top. You can add some crumpled up newspaper or sphagnum moss around the plants to keep the soil from washing out of the hole. If you replace the plants, you should replace at least half the soil, if not all of it.
To make it easier to water every plant in the pot without over-watering the top plants and under-watering the bottom ones, you can insert a pipe into the pot before adding the soil. You can use any type of pipe and all you do is drill holes into it to have water seep out at all levels. If you have a very large strawberry pot, you could set a plastic milk jug in the bottom of the pot. Poke holes in the jug and pipe. Water the pot by filling the milk jug via the pipe. This will allow for a longer soaking of the bottom-level plants without over-watering them. Test the jug before placing it into the pot to see if it slowly drips. You can also use drip irrigation lines running through the center of the pot with an outlet at each plant.
Large strawberry pots filled with wet soil can weigh a lot. It is best to fill and water them where they will be left for the summer. If you use new sterile soil, it will probably have fertilizer in it, but additional slow-release fertilizer will be needed during the summer.
It used to be that strawberries were only available in the spring, but now there are strawberry plants that don't stop producing flowers and fruit all summer long. They are called "day-neutral" since the length of daylight does not affect their flowering. Sometimes they are called "ever bearing" and they make the best varieties for strawberry pots. Tillicum, Ozark Beauty and Quinault are good ever-bearing varieties. It takes about four plants per person to keep enough berries coming, so you may need more than one pot. If the pot is in a cool protected location during the winter, so that the plants and soil don't dry out, the strawberry plants could last several years before you would need to replace them.
If you want to plant herbs or annuals, be sure to get plants that have similar requirements for light and watering. Use small-growing species like parsley, thyme, chives, pansy, nasturtium and viola; the last three have beautiful flowers that are also edible. Avoid invasive plants like mint that will send up new sprouts in all the other openings in the pot.
If you live in a climate that freezes during the winter, you can bring the pot indoors. Strawberries are better off going dormant in the cold, but the pot may freeze and crack, unless it is the plastic kind. Many of the herbs can be grown indoors over the winter in the pot.
Another winter indoor use is to fill the pot with poinsettias, cyclamen, ivy or other indoor houseplants. They make unique planting pots that can add a lot of color and possibly food to the indoor garden.
I use a modern version of the strawberry pot called a "Stack A Pot." It is a series of trays that each holds three plants. They can be stacked to create a column and they come in a variety of diameters. There are versions that can stack on a deck railing and others that can hang. They have several advantages over the old-style pot. I can take off a tray and easily reach the soil and plants on that layer to replace them and then I can change the order of the stacks. They have an overflow between layers and a water holding area in each tray. I water the top layer and once it is full, the water moves down a layer until all the trays are full.

Police find unidentified body as they search for 78-year-old missing suburban Phoenix woman
GOODYEAR, Ariz. – Arizona authorities who have been investigating the disappearance of a 78-year-old suburban Phoenix woman said Saturday they have found an unidentified body in the desert near Gila Bend.
This is the same general area where the missing woman's grandson had led detectives to find additional evidence, Goodyear police spokeswoman Lisa Kutis said.
It could be Monday before medical investigators identify the body, but Kutis did say that Helen Jean Lee's grandson, 40-year-old Jason Eric Howell, is the prime suspect in the woman's disappearance.
Lee was reported missing from her home Wednesday, the same day Howell was arrested in the theft of an SUV from a Chandler school.
Police first went to Lee's home late Wednesday for a welfare check after a daughter who lives in Tucson was unable to reach her mother. TV news footage of the home showed heavy damage to the garage door, as if something rammed or backed into it.
Two days later, investigators said Lee might have been killed after they found indications of foul play at her home and evidence in the desert about 50 miles away.
Detectives continued to process what Kutis described as a crime scene at Lee's home on Saturday.
It was not clear if Howell has been appointed an attorney. He was ordered held Friday in lieu of $300,000 bond on charges related to the carjacking case.
One of the seven charges accuses Howell of using the SUV to ram the car of a Chandler police officer who spotted the stolen vehicle. The officer arrested Howell at gunpoint, according to an affidavit.

One ride and you'll understand the performance, the handling, and how every detail is just right.
We start building every Can-Am ATV with a Rotax engine featuring best-in-class power and industry-leading power-to-weight ratio. The whole ATV is designed to work with this power, to give you a true performance edge. That's true for all of our signature engines, from the 38-hp Rotax 450 to the ALL-NEW 89-hp Rotax 1000R.
Our exclusive progressive auto-locking front differential constantly monitors front-wheel speed. If it detects one wheel spinning faster than the other, it sends more power to the wheel with better traction. The rider doesn't have to do anything to activate it. And the Visco-Lok auto-locking front differential comes without a speed limiter, unlike some competitors' differentials.
This welded-steel frame incorporates proven processes and proprietary geometry to deliver unequalled structural integrity, improved durability and precision handling. Requiring fewer parts, materials and welds than a traditional tubular steel frame, the Surrounding Spar Technology (SST) G2 configuration is more efficient, offers a lower center of gravity and better handling than the competition.
The Torsional Trailing arm Independent rear suspension (TTI) delivers stable, responsive performance on the Commander line of side-by-side vehicles. Its exclusive design eliminates scrub and camber changes and lets the rear wheels move straight up and down, as opposed to a butterfly-like movement, keeping the vehicle moving precisely in the direction you drive it. It provides 10 in. (25.4 cm) of suspension travel and an integrated, external sway bar to reduce body roll, enhance traction and improve control in turns.
The only independent rear suspension that eliminates scrub and camber changes, the wheels pivot straight up and down rather than in a butterfly motion like competitors' systems. So, the vehicle moves only in the direction you point it. There's also an external sway bar for more controlled body roll in turns.
Our exclusive anti-theft system prevents the ATV from starting unless the coded microchip in the key matches the code embedded in the engine control module.
The Outlander is equipped with our high-strength racks that include anti-skid surfaces and raised edges to stabilise cargo during your ride. Multiple edges and holes offer numerous anchor points for tie-downs and bungee cords. The Outlander L model comes standard with rugged front and rear steel racks. Both models feature our exclusive LinQ quick-attach system that enables you to add and remove Can-Am accessories in just seconds, including trunk boxes, gun scabbards, modular bags, rack extensions and more.
We don't just put a seat onto an excellently performing machine, we design the entyre vehicle around you. The seat position and cushion are designed to maximize comfort and offer an optimal position for the rider so you can keep going on the trail. Foot pegs are placed so your body rests in a natural position as you ride. Plus our multifunction gauge is easy to read at a glance.

My story "Visitations" appears in Jack-o'-Spec: Tales of Halloween and Fantasy (Raven Electrick Ink).
"Reading Jack-o'-Spec is like stepping into a Halloween party that's been going on for 2,000 years. There's something delightfully pagan about these stories and poems, something that captures Halloween's dark, autumn atmosphere. Whether it's a mad scientist invoking Halloween ghosts on Mars, boys trapped in not one but two haunted houses, or a rich evocation of poetic seasonal spirits, Jack-o'-Spec has something for all Halloween lovers." -- Lisa Morton, Author, The Halloween Encyclopedia
My poem "The Last Dragon Slayer" appears in Mythic Delirium #24.
"'[A] venture into lightheartedness' is what editor Mike Allen calls this latest issue of Mythic Delirium. The poetry assembled here certainly makes for an excellent adventure, and lightheartedness often plays a part, but even so, all these lyrical quests have a weighty center.
"The best example for this is probably 'The Last Dragon Slayer' by Elissa Malcohn, a poem in eight parts, eight parts of tale that is nothing if not epic. Each part is in itself a poem and comes to you each in a different form. This poem of a dragon and questing dragon slayers --while it does many other things--clearly acknowledges the longing for myth, the longing for adventure in all of us." -- Alexandra Seidel, Fantastique Unfettered

Poetic Variables
In January 2011 I posted a science poem a day, written in various traditional forms, in honor of Science Online 2011. Click here for an index with live links to the poems, the science articles that inspired them, and descriptions of the different poetic forms used. E-mail me for more information and to order.
From the back cover blurb: "Thirty-one poems celebrate both scientific variety and the many forms of verse. From mental time travel to a 14-million-year-old lake. From jet-lagged mold to frugal amoebas. From quantum states in migrating robins to salmon finding their way by smell. And much more, in forms ranging from Abecedarian to Villanelle, Persian Ghazal to Korean Sijo and beyond."
Several poems from this collection have been submitted to Open Laboratory 2011.

My song "This Is Our Gulf" won first prize in the Woodview Coffee House song-writing contest. More info and links to recordings are on my blog.
Inspired by the Gulf oil disaster and in the tradition of Woody Guthrie's Dust Bowl ballads, the contest sought "to document in song the threat this oil disaster poses to our Gulf Coast way of life; to celebrate the beauty that is threatened by this manmade disaster; and to encourage alternate means of producing energy which are safer, cleaner and renewable."
My story "Judgment at Naioth" appears in She Nailed a Stake Through His Head: Tales of Biblical Terror (Dybbuk Press, October 2010) -- available here.
"'Judgment at Naioth,' by Elissa Malcohn, begins with the image of a road that might have once been a river, evoking a sense of history and continuum immediately, but we're then thrown into this modern, industrial world as a leather-clad girl dismounts her motorcycle to enter 'the navel of Yahweh,' a seedy warehouse-turned-nightclub. Once in the club she meets with the 'sallow-faced' Solomon with 'sticks...for arms and legs,' and we learn of the girl's rape, a prophesy for revenge, and talk of opening the slit between worlds. Strange and fascinating, the story blends the old and the new so well that I believe the old might have found that 'slit' into the new." -- Patricia Esposito, November Drift
"My absolute favorite of the anthology is Elissa Malcohn's 'Judgment at Naioth,' a fantastic short about an Israel existing in a different time and place where the Philistines are a major drug gang and David is an aging musician in a dance club populated by prophets who are kept addicted to drugs. His eldest son Amnon is a ruthless mayor and his favorite son Absalom is among the denizens of the club. Solomon, a prophet in this strange world, has told David's daughter Tamar that David must die to set the world right again; in another world David is a king whose forty-year reign is prosperous for his people. Ms. Malcohn has put an exciting spin on the Biblical story of King David with this one." -- Nick Cato, The Horror Fiction Review

Divinations: Writing by the throw of the dice is an outgrowth of writing I did as part of Folded Word's "24/7" event. I posted the original drafts on my blog (index here) and compiled them into this chapbook (e-mail me to order). I've made some revisions to the original works, changed their presentation order, and changed or omitted a few of the blog's thematic photos.
From the back cover blurb: "Twenty-four short works, their structures determined by dice-rolls, explore the theme of 'divination' through natural, supernatural, and speculative means. A centurion dreams of the future; a time-traveler loses himself in the past. Warriors face an ill-omened army made of wax. A princess fulfills an unsettling prophecy; a young girl creates her own. New Year's Eve heightens a family dog's awareness. Bionic lightning strikes a pastor from within."
|Star*Line 33(4) (July/August 2010) includes my poem "Evolutionary Variants on a Russian Proverb," Edward Cox's review of my collection 30 Science Sonnets for April 2010,and my write-up of the speculative poetry workshop I gave at Ancient City Con IV.

"Ballerina" by Paul Vincenti. Image used with permission.
Thanks to artist Paul Vincenti, who posted my poem "A Meeting of the Arts" to go with his painting "Ballerina."
Paul painted this portrait live, on the spot, in 90 minutes (with subsequent fine-tuning), before a crowd at a gallery opening. I then challenged myself to write a sonnet about the painting, on the spot (though not before a crowd). I drafted the poem in about a half hour and e-mailed it to Paul.

30 Science Sonnets for April 2010: For National Poetry Month (April), I wrote a sonnet a day based on a science-themed news story. The sonnets and links to the articles that inspired them are posted on my blog (index here). I've also put the poems into this chapbook (e-mail me to order).
"The wide range of subject and information covered by the author form a big bag of ideas that are just waiting for some dreamer to extrapolate into tales of fantasy and wonder -- and, who knows, maybe someone will. But for the time being, while we're dealing with the truth, 30 Science Sonnets for April 2010 is an entertaining and thoughtful read, and one very strong reason why Twitter is a good thing." -- Edward Cox, Star*Line 33(4).
From the back cover blurb: "Thirty sonnets delve into science's breaking news during a month of discovery. From advances in cloaking devices to dogs helping war veterans through post-traumatic stress disorder. From an asteroid passing close to the Earth to one containing basic components for life. From bees whose genes dictate their diets to beavers recruited to help a state cope with climate change. And much more."

The discovery, and the way it was denied haunts her throughout her life in the working class world of the US-Mexican border. Working blue collar jobs, she spends her free time researching the impossibility she's sure she remembers from childhood. An excellent story, which does particularly well at blending the story of Mercedes as a person between cultures into an sf story." -- Matt Bruensteiner, Garbled Signals, commenting on "Flotsam."

Praise for "Hermit Crabs":
"There's much to like about 'Hermit Crabs,' and I can see why the editors kicked off the issue with it." -- Marshall Payne, in The Fix
"'Hermit Crabs' by Elissa Malcohn is a strong opener and still resonates with me once I was through with the magazine. It features strong characterization and has that powerful, inevitable ending." -- Charles Tan, Bibliophile Stalker
"At first, I thought: 'Oh, no! another SF crab story!' Then I began reading and I thought: 'Oh, no! another depressed teen suicide story!' But unexpectedly, the more I progressed into the story, the more I enjoyed it; the characterization is good, the flashback structure is well done, the ending is surprising and satisfying. A valuable discovery for me..." -- Fabrice Doublet, on the Night Shade Books message boards

"Standout stories include (but are certainly not limited to): 'Black Annis' by Joy Marchand, the tale of a true faerie who desperately wants to protects a pair of gay lovers; 'Memento Mori' by Elissa Malcohn, about a lover who comes back from the grave for her mate; 'I Am the Shadow that Walks There' by Michelle Scalise, a World War II era tale of love and devastating loss; and 'Memory Box' by Reesa Brown, a tale whose true darkness hits suddenly and unrelentingly. Unspeakable Horrors [sic] is highly recommended for all libraries." -- Michele Lee, Monster Librarian
"Out of 23 stories, you're bound to find one or two that suit you less than others, but Liaguno and Helder's batting average is pretty high. It's hard to beat Jameson Currier's Lovecraftian 'The Bloomsbury Nudes,' the pro-gay teenboy revenge scenario of Joy Marchand's 'Black Annis,' the beyond-the-grave poetry of Elissa Malcohn's 'Memento Mori' or the teen jack-off session gone horribly wrong in C.

The Nairobi Mini World Cup
Imagine you are a poor child from Kibera, Kenya's largest slum, and have a dream to become a soccer star. Some young players come close to this dream when the International School (ISK) in Nairobi hosts its annual "Nairobi Mini World Cup".
The Mini World Cup started after ISK's Principal of the Elementary School, Patricia Salleh Matta, introduced a Saturday sports program three years ago and opened the school not just to its own students but to many communities around the school.
My 11-year-old son Marco and I have a passion for soccer (we call it football). In order to advance the game at ISK, where he goes, I got involved in coaching and eventually became the school's "Soccer Commissioner." As such, my main task is to organize soccer tournaments. The highlight of our year is the annual "Nairobi Mini World Cup," which has become a fixture for many schools and soccer clubs in the city.

"Burn It Down"
The cycle repeated
As explosions broke in the sky
All that I needed
Was the one thing I couldn't find
And te were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know
We're building it up
To break it back down
We're building it up
(Yeah) (yo)
te were that foundation
Never gonna be another one, no.
I followed, so taken
So conditioned I could never let go
Then sorrow, then sickness
Then the shock when te flip it on me
So hollow, so vicious
So afraid I couldn't let myself see
That I could never be held
Back up, no, I'll hold myself.
Check the rep, yep te know my rail
Forget the rest let them know my hell
Damn, I'm back yep, my stories sell,
As explosions broke in the sky,
All that I needed,
Was the one thing I couldn't find,
And te were there at the turn,
Waiting to let me know,
We're building it up,
To break it back down,
We're building it up,
To burn it down,
We can't wait,
To burn it to the ground.
The colori conflicted,
As the flames climbed into the clouds.
I wanted to fix this,
But couldn't stop from tearing it down.
As well all know, the long-anticipated album 'Living Things' was released, and it went viral immediately! I, personally, listened to it once before Scrivere this article, and WHILE I'm Scrivere it, it's playing for the secondo time. As a die-hard fan, I'm going to try to be unbiased. It's going to be difficult, because I happen to like every single Linkin Park song that they release, and am unable to find improvements in them. If I try hard to be a critic, I come up with two o three points, but that's about it. For me, a Linkin Park song can never be bad. It can be 'slightly less-awesome'...
"New Divide" is a song that was released as a single and was recorded specifically for Michael Bay's film: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The song was released as a single on the 18th of May, 2009. It topped the "US Rock Songs", "Modern Rock Tracks" and "Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks" at the same time.
Linkin Park's other single, What I've Done (from their 3rd studio album, minuti to Midnight) was featured in the first Transformers movie trailer and was included in the Transformers Soundtrack.
The Hybrid Theory id the debut Album da Linkin Park, released on 24th October through Warner Bros Records. The album was a huge commercial success, having sold più than 10 million copies da 2010 in the United States alone, and standing at number 2 on the Billboard 200, while reaching high positions also in other charts worldwide.
Four singles were released from the album: "One Step Closer", "Papercut", the Grammy Award-winning "Crawling" and "In the End", the latter which was responsible for launching Linkin Park into mainstream popularity. At the 2002 Grammy Awards,...
Linkin Park shall rise to the stars. They will continue BREAKING THE HABIT. They will LEAVE OUT ALL THE REST and they will not FAINT. They will not go NUMB and tired of having no one on VALENTINES DAY.When THE SHADOW OF THE giorno takes over our souls, linkin Park shall take us ONE STEP CLOSER to sanity. They will continue giving us happiness and joy. IN THE END, Linkin Park will save the world, even if NOBODY'S LISTENING, even if the NEW DIVIDE doesn't have POINTS OF AUTHORITY, Linkin Park will not say "I've dato UP".
I am pretty sure everyone here loves rock music. I'm also sure everyone here thinks rock as their saviors! But has anyone ever stopped to think who really is our savior, our hero?
If te haven't then let me tell you, it is Linkin Park.
Linkin Park has done 15 years of providing us with wonderful, fun, glorious rock and alternative music! They are the ones we listen to when we feel bored. They give us the fun, amusement and joy of listening to heavy metal o alternative music. They have been entertaining us for the past 15 years and I hope they never stop! They are the BEST band in...

The Sports Xchange
NFL roundup: Texans unlikely to trade WR Johnson
The Houston Texans are unlikely to trade disgruntled star wide receiver Andre Johnson, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Johnson, 33, recently requested a trade and will not report when the team begins training camp on July 25, according to NFL Network.
However, the team does not want to lose Johnson and wants him to finish his career in Houston.
Johnson still has three years and $31.5 million left on his contract but he skipped offseason workouts and minicamp.
After the Texans went a disappointing 2-14 season, Johnson reportedly expressed that he does not wish to be part of another rebuilding project.
---The Indianapolis Colts signed free agent wide receiver Aaron Burks and waived wide receiver LaVon Brazill on Friday.
Burks was originally signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted rookie free agent on May 12 before being waived on June 13. In four seasons at Boise State, he made 47 catches for 743 yards with four touchdowns.
Brazill was a sixth-round draft choice of the Colts in 2012. In 25 career regular season games, he has 23 receptions for 347 yards with three touchdowns. He added seven receptions for 144 yards with two touchdowns in three playoff games (two starts).
Brazill was recently suspended indefinitely, reportedly for violating the NFL's policy and program for substance abuse.
---Minnesota Vikings defensive end Spencer Nealy was suspended four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance enhancing substances, the league announced.
The 24-year-old Nealy, an undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M;, did not play in a game last season.
Nealy will be eligible to return to the Vikings' active roster on Monday, Sept. 29 following the team's Sept. 28 game against the Atlanta Falcons.

I got stuck on something that i never should have and w/out spoiling much i'll say this.
If your plaintext file absolutely refuses to come out to 1245 (mentioned in the article) Double check how you acquired your plaintext file. I happened to have opened it , transferred it to UltraEdit32 and then saved it, which borked the original size, thus making any kind of compression fail to meet 1245. Took me 2 hours to figure that out....dont do what i did.
Also if you run into a situation like i did where i got 3 good keys but it couldn't find the password (i dont know why) you can use zipdecrypt key0 key1 key2 encrypted_zip decrypted_zip_name <-- just make up a name.zip
then just extract like normal. For me i had to go that route.

|High tryglicerides & hiv
Apr 12, 2003
Hello I have a zero vload for 6 months and my tcelss up from 198 to 536. I am currently taking epivir/sustiva/viread.
My latest blood work came up with a higher than normal tryglyceride level, around 256, but my cholesterol was normal. I work out 5 days a week and I am very fit. What does this all mean? I do eat like a pig, I love pies, cake, ice cream and stuff.
My question to you is, how do high trygli. levels affect me directly? Should I be concerned? what can I do to reduce those Trygli. levels? I heard about fish oil?
Also, sustiva, taking it for 6 months or more, and I can';t take it without temazepan to sleep othewise I wake up off and on during my sleep. I was told that this is a better option than switching me away from sustiva, your thoughts?
thank you so much
Response from Mr. Vergel
Congratulations on your T cells and viral load!
High triglycerides may increase your heart disease and pancreatitis risks.
You may want to lower your simple carbohydrate intake (sweets, sugar, corn syrup, fructose, sodas, bottled fruit juices) to lower your triglycerides. Omega 3 oils at 1000 mg/day and L-Carnitine at 2000 mg/day have also shown to decrease triglycerides. I am glad you are exercising because that also helps!
Sustiva is an excellent drug but some people may not tolerate its effects on the CNS (central nervous system). Some people may have to switch to Viramune (another non-nuke in the same family). Viramune does not have the sleep disturbances but it can cause rash and increased liver enzymes in some patients. In a recent study (2NN) is was shown to have comparable efficacy than Sustiva.
Talk to your doctor about Sustiva's side effects and your options.

'Tammy' extended cut heads home Nov. 11
This November, there will be even more of" Tammy" to love.
Warner Bros. announced Wednesday that a extended cut of the locally filmed Melissa McCarthy comedy will hit Blu-ray and DVD Nov. 11.
"Tammy" follows an unlucky-in-life woman (McCarthy) who, after losing her job and leaving her philandering husband, heads on an outrageous road trip with her hard-partying grandmother (Susan Sarandon) to Niagara Falls.
Allison Janney, Kathy Bates, Sandra Oh, Gary Cole, Mark Duplass and Dan Aykroyd costar.
It is unclear how long the new cut of the film will run, but the Blu-ray and DVD releases will include more deleted scenes, a gag reel and a feature called "Tammy's Road Trip Checklist."
Since opening July 2, "Tammy" has proved to be one of the most successful comedies of the summer. Following an opening weekend gross of $21 million, the film has earned more than $83 million, making it the 15th highest grossing film of the summer.
The film shot in Wilmington and the surrounding region early last summer. During production, the film spent more than $14 million in the state, according to state audit records.

Dave Barry is a humor columnist for the Miami Herald, and repeats of his columns appeared in my local newspaper, the Northeast Ohio News-Herald. Every year, Dave devoted a column to his annual "Holiday Gift Guide," in which he wrote about the most ridiculous merchandise he could find. He attributed most of the entries to submissions from readers.
A few weeks before Christmas a few years ago, I pulled out the News-Herald and started reading Dave's "Holiday Gift Guide." After finishing the first column of type, my eyes jumped to the second column and found a gaping hole in the page — not missing text, but, literally, a hole in the page!
I questioned my wife about the missing segment, but she denied any knowledge of how an entire column of type came up missing. "No problem," I said, "I'll just go to the library at lunch tomorrow and read what I missed." She quickly recanted, and insisted that this wasn't the time of year for me to be doing such things. Obviously, then, she was planning on getting me something ridiculous for Christmas or my birthday, which happens to fall two days after Christmas. Because I had forced her hand, I figured she'd retaliate by making me wait the extra two days to find out what totally useless item I'd be stuck with.
Sure enough, come Christmas, I received nothing that was extremely unusual or impractical. So when my birthday arrived, among the gifts was a small box containing the missing segment of Dave Barry's column. Also in the box was literature describing "The Hydraulic Watch," and, of course, the watch. Rather than describe the watch, I'll quote a few excerpts from Dave's column. "It is a hefty hunk of alloy metal — that's right, mister, ALLOY metal — made in China, a nation famous around the world for the quantity of its watches. . . This is not some wussy little foo-foo girly-girl watch that, when you want to know what time it is, you just look at it. . . When you want to know what time it is, you pull a knob, which activates a hydraulic piston mechanism, which raises a little cover, thus revealing the watch face. . . Geraldo Rivera buys these babies by the case." Dave also sarcastically referred to the watch's $19.95 price tag as being evidence of it being a quality timepiece.
As it turns out, the idea of bestowing this coveted treasure on me did not originate with my wife. My son, Adam, read the column, then pointed it out to her saying, "Mom, you have got to get this for Dad!" I guess they both figured the editor of Hydraulics & Pneumatics wouldn't be complete without the "hydraulic" watch.
But the biggest surprise came when I actually tried the watch. Well, okay, the biggest surprise was learning that there was such a thing as a hydraulic watch. So the second biggest surprise was trying it out. It isn't hydraulic at all! The cover is spring loaded, so pulling out a retaining pin causes a spring to snap the cover open. The two "hydraulic" cylinders are purely for show — and about as useless as a belt when you're wearing suspenders.

"We love our daughters. But we need a son."
This refrain captures the common sentiment in Armenia, and is at the heart of the growing issue of sex imbalances in the country. , with 114 baby boys born for every 100 baby girls, above the natural rate of 105. We recently met with groups across Armenia to dig deeper into the root causes of sex preferences, with the hope of helping find an effective policy solution.
This issue has long affected countries like China, India and others in Asia, but it has emerged only recently in the South Caucasus. In Armenia, the ratio of boy births to girl births started increasing in the 1990s, when economic disruption and the desire to have smaller families, combined with the availability of sex detection technology, led many families to choose sex selection in the quest to have a son. The result? A generation of "missing girls," as Amartya Sen first called this phenomenon.

Markets have taken to swinging back and forth on whether Washington lawmakers sound positive or negative on negotiations to prevent the economy from suffering under the full load of expiring tax and spending measures.
U.S. stocks ended higher Thursday, along with bonds, oil and gold, which generally indicates something is amiss. The dollar ended lower.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index added 6 points, or 0.4%, to 1,416.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 37 points, or 0.3%, to 13,022.
Treasury bond traders remained more leery of the back and forth, keeping yields in a tight range and generally low on expectations that no matter what Washington comes up with, the economy will slow down. Yields on 10-year notes , which move inversely to prices, declined 1 basis point to 1.62%.
The dollar index , which measures the greenback's performance against a basket of six currencies, slipped to 80.196 from 80.262 in late U.S. trading on Wednesday.
Oil rose for the first session in four. January crude clf3 rose $1.58, or 1.8%, to settle at $88.07 a barrel.
Gold futures recovered from the prior session's steep drop. February gold , the most actively-traded contract, settled at $1,729.50 an ounce, also tacking on $10.70, or 0.6%.

Born Ricardo Eliecer Neftalí Reyes Basoalto in the town of Parral in southern Chile on July 12, 1904, Pablo Neruda led a life charged with poetic and political activity. In 1923 he sold all of his possessions to finance the publication of his first book, Crepusculario ("Twilight"). He published the volume under the pseudonym "Pablo Neruda" to avoid conflict with his family, who disapproved of his occupation. The following year, he found a publisher for Veinte poemas de amor y una cancion desesperada ("Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair"). The book made a celebrity of Neruda, who gave up his studies at the age of twenty to devote himself to his craft.
In 1927, Neruda began his long career as a diplomat in the Latin American tradition of honoring poets with diplomatic assignments. After serving as honorary consul in Burma, Neruda was named Chilean consul in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1933. While there, he began a friendship with the visiting Spanish poet Federico García Lorca. After transferring to Madrid later that year, Neruda also met Spanish writer Manuel Altolaguirre. Together the two men founded a literary review called Caballo verde para la poesîa in 1935. The outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936 interrupted Neruda's poetic and political development. He chronicled the horrendous years which included the execution of García Lorca in Espana en el corazon (1937), published from the war front. Neruda's outspoken sympathy for the loyalist cause during the Spanish Civil War led to his recall from Madrid in 1937. He then moved to Paris and helped settle Spanish republican refugees in Chile.
Neruda returned to Chile in 1938 where he renewed his political activity and wrote prolifically. Named Chilean Consul to Mexico in 1939, Neruda left Chile again for four years. Upon returning to Chile in 1943, he was elected to the Senate and joined the Communist Party. When the Chilean government moved to the right, they declared communism illegal and expelled Neruda from the Senate. He went into hiding. During those years he wrote and published Canto general (1950).
In 1952 the government withdrew the order to arrest leftist writers and political figures, and Neruda returned to Chile and married Matilde Urrutia, his third wife (his first two marriages, to Maria Antonieta Haagenar Vogelzang and Delia del Carril, both ended in divorce). For the next twenty-one years, he continued a career that integrated private and public concerns and became known as the people's poet. During this time, Neruda received numerous prestigious awards, including the International Peace Prize in 1950, the Lenin Peace Prize and the Stalin Peace Prize in 1953, and the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.
Diagnosed with cancer while serving a two-year term as ambassador to France, Neruda resigned his position, ending his diplomatic career. On September 23, 1973, just twelve days after the defeat of Chile's democratic regime, the man widely regarded as the greatest Latin American poet since Darío died in Santiago, Chile.

Red Bull fume as Lotus and Kimi take charge
Pirelli defended their tyres today after Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull team mate Mark Webber said tyre wear was becoming too dominant a factor in racing this season.india Updated: Mar 23, 2013 02:34 IST
Pirelli defended their tyres on Friday after Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull team mate Mark Webber said tyre wear was becoming too dominant a factor in racing this season.
"The whole category is geared around tyres at the moment," Webber fumed despite topping the timesheets in the morning session ahead of Kimi Raikkonen's Lotus.
"Everything is around tyres. Tyres, tyres, tyre, tyres, tyres," the Australian added, while noting the wet track following a downpour in the second session was "the only conditions the slicks work in".
The Red Bulls locked up the front row in last week's season-opener in Melbourne but their one-lap speed was negated by tyre degradation in long runs as Raikkonen took full advantage to romp to victory.
Vettel dropped from pole to third at Albert Park and, while the German clocked the second fastest time of the day in Sepang on Friday behind Raikkonen, the triple world champion was less than enthused by his own battle with the Pirellis.
"It looked pretty okay but it was quite a mess if you look at how long the tyres lasted," said Vettel, who complained over his team radio that the car was vibrating badly after 16 laps on the hard tyres in the morning.
"Today, tyre wear was pretty severe for everyone, so obviously you drive way under the potential of the car.
"I hope we have enough tyres to survive the race and it is not a lot of fun and that is how it is." Pirelli motorsport director Paul Hembery reacted by saying the tyre wear experienced at Sepang was within the expected limits.
"As we expected, we saw quite a high wear rate today, due to the more extreme nature of our 2013 tyres as well as the high temperatures and abrasive track surface," Hembery said.
"Nonetheless, degradation stayed within our anticipated parameters."
Pirelli have changed the tyre compounds for this season to try and ensure more pitstops during races and enliven strategy.
"We have also seen differences in the way that individual teams use the compounds, with the hard compound lasting 15 laps for some teams and 21 laps or more for others," said Hembery.
"We'll be looking at all the data tonight to establish a more precise picture for qualifying and the race."
