7 ways to stay healthy at work
When it comes to cold and flu season, stocking up on vitamins may seem like the smart thing to do, but are your wellness methods up to date? We asked Dr. Yael Halaas, an ear, nose and throat doctor based in New York City, to clarify fact and fiction in terms of fending off co-worker cooties. "We can't get rid of the common cold entirely, but there are ways to shorten its duration," Halaas said. Check out Halaas' tips.

Think zinc.( Jennifer Day, MCT / September 1, 2011 )
Rather than grabbing the vitamin C or echinacea, Halaas said zinc is a more proven way to fight germs. "Studies show that zinc, particularly zinc gluconate, will shorten the duration [of a cold] by about 42 percent," Halaas said. Halaas recommends you take it by mouth. She said you can get zinc from oysters, but if those aren't handy, there are many forms available over the counter. "Just be sure it says 'zinc gluconate' on the packaging and not just 'zinc,' " she said.

It's never an easy conversation, but it's a really critical one. As our parents get older, many of us wonder if they're doing OK on their own, or if they might be struggling and need some help.The Littlefields of Cobb County have been asking themselves those questions for four years now. Richard Littlefield's children would call him in Kentucky. Each time, he'd reassure them he was fine and didn't need him. But gradually, they all began to realize that might not be true and it might be time to bring their dad home. Littlefield has lived a good life, he served in Europe in World War II, married and raised four children and worked for 30 years as an engineer for the Ford Motor Company.This spring, the 87-year-old left the Kentucky house he called home for a half-century to move in with his son, David. "Every now and then, I'd think about it, you know. I'm getting older and what in the heck am I going to do," Richard said. Four years ago, Littlefield's adult children noticed he was having memory problems, but how do you bring that up?"I was very nervous. I mean, a lot of anxiety," said David Littlefield.David is a counselor, but he and his sisters we're sure exactly what to say."To find the right words, to find words that were caring and non-threatening," said Debi McCarthy. "You don't just jump in with a conversation that says, 'You're going to have to move someday.'"Rae Lynne Mattis, a licensed clinical social worker, encourages adult children to ask their parents how they see their future. "I want to be respectful of what you need from me later on," Mattis said. "Have you been having thoughts about what it might be like later on down the road, what you might like when things change, and you might not feel as independent, or as strong and healthy as you feel right now.""You have to have the small conversations first, if you want it to be a comfortable transition for your parent," said Debi. First, Richard's daughters asked if they could help him manage his money."I came to the conclusion that I couldn't do it for myself anymore," Richard said. They gradually began asking if it was safe for him to live alone."And no arguments, or anything like that. I made up my mind when I knew it was my time," Richard said. "I'm going to have to go and live with David."Richard's surrounded by his old clocks, and he knows he's still the father at his son's house, and always will be."Your parents are your parents. If you're 80 and they're 100, you're still, they're your parents. It makes a difference," Richard said. And after years of reassuring his kids he's doing fine, Richard Littlefield really is."I see a much different face, I see a much different smile. And I'm grateful for that," said Debi McCarthy.Debi says her family's saving grace is that they started talking early and they planned this move together. They also included their father's doctor in the conversation.

VALLEY CITY, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota college football player who was a standout athlete at a Minnesota high school has been charged with fatally shooting a man outside a Minneapolis bar over the weekend.
The Jamestown Sun reports (http://bit.ly/18sxNFX ) Cedric Chappell Jr. was arrested Tuesday at Valley City State University. He is charged in Hennepin County, Minn. with second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder. He's being held in the Barnes County jail.
Twenty-two-year-old Willie Smith, of St. Paul, was fatally shot outside the Blue Nile restaurant and bar about 2 a.m. Saturday. Another man was shot in the leg.
A criminal complaint says a fight started inside the bar, spilled out into the parking lot and two groups started shooting at each other.
Chappell was a standout athlete at Washburn High School in Minneapolis.

Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, two of the most influential, literate singer-songwriters of the last half century, performed a sold-out concert Thursday night at the University of Maryland's Cole Field House. Cold, cavernous Cole may not have been the best venue for these Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, but they made the best of it, Mitchell with a warm, richly textured set that drew heavily from her '70s work, and Dylan with a typically reconstructive romp through his back pages.

And so it com(eth) to pass(eth) that I will blog(eth) about my top tunes(eth) of the year(eth)…. and you won't give a shit..(eth) So here they izz, in no particular order:
Labrinth - Earthquake
I met Labrinth this year and he was one of the nicest celeb types i've ever ever worked with. Plus this tune more infectious than your crabs.
SBTRKT - Pharoahs
I accidentally saw SBTRKT live 3 times this year. Each time this tune blew me sideways. It's a beaut.
Azelia Banks - 212
My friend who produces a radio show nearly played the unedited version of this on her show. Good job she didn't because Azelia has a potty mouth….but she does make exceedingly good tunes.
Bombay Bicycle Club - Shuffle
Straddling the line between cool indie and chart contenders, this group are getting stronger and stronger.
Rizzle Kicks - Down with the trumpets
Stupidly cool, bloody hot, annoyingly talented and only 19. Bastards.
Coldplay - Charlie Brown
It might not be cool to like Coldplay but I couldn't give two shits. The best live band in the world. This song is epic.
Little Boots - Shake
I know, Little Boots right? This dropped onto the interwebs a couple of months back and has been pleasantly invading my earholes ever since. Well done The Boots.
Friendly Fires - Blue Cassette
Dancing to this whilst fucked in a field with my best mates at Glastonbury this year is a memory that will live with me forever. One day i'll dance as well as Ed from the group. One day.
Britney Spears - Till The World Ends
Yes, she had nothing to do with this album and yes it was fucking awesome. This is an awesome nugget of crispy pop perfection.
Kanye West - All Of The Lights
Kanye once again ignoring what's cool and producing something interesting, original, exciting and incredibly self indulgent.
Joe Goddard - Gabriel
CHRIST! I very nearly forgot about this nugget. Joe Goddard has done some great stuff this year and this is a decadent slab of amazingness.
I know! 2 new music posts in one week? I must be ill (I actually have been, hence the time to blog…but i'm on the mend now thanks for asking. Yes I have lost weight actually, how kind of you to notice! No you hang up…No you!) (soz)
Anyway - Rizzle Kicks
Bit of a wank name? Yup. But ignore that as this tune is a stonker. Here are 3 facts about the R BIZZLE Sticks.
This is the awesome 'Down With The Trumpets' which my mate Trixie (who's blog you can follow here) described as potentially this years LDN by Lily Allen…Big praise indeed. Lets hope it gets the push it deserves.
Yeah that very one. As you might be aware shes been teaming up with some awesome artists and producers of late (Katy B, Zinc, Magnetic Man) and here is yet another top combo. She's got together with Tinie Tempah's producer Labrinth to make this amazing track, It's called 'Neva Soft' and the production is just spot on….. I can't wait to hear Labrinth's solo album later this year.
And finally…Nicola Roberts
Unless you've been hiding under Cheryl Coles massive hair
and tears (or have no interest in what ex Girls Aloud members are up too) you'll probably know that the ginger one from the group is about to release her debut solo single. The lead up to this release has been RIDICULOUS with various 20sec teasers dropping for the last 12 years (slight exaggeration). Well, it's finally here and to be honest, it's awesome. A bit Gwen Stefani mixed with Major Lazer and Daphne and Celeste. It sounds totally up to date, fresh and original. Here's hoping the impending album stands up. This is 'Beat Of My Drum'

This online public health doctoral program features two tracks, depending on your academic background:
Track I is a program of study for students who have a Master of Public Health (MPH). It allows the student to forgo foundational public health courses and complete the program in a shorter amount of time.
If you have a master's degree in an unrelated discipline, see Track II.
Time to completion may vary by student, depending on individual progress and credits transferred, if applicable. For a personalized estimate of your time to completion, call an enrollment advisor at 1-866-492-5336.
* PUBH 8900, Research Forum (0 credits), is taken concurrently with these courses. It will serve as a platform for the ongoing collaborative learning communication between students' and their doctoral study chairs and as a repository for drafts and documentation materials related to the doctoral study. Students will be assigned to sections of PUBH 8900 based on their doctoral study chair. There is no cost for the course.
Students in this course are introduced to Walden University and the requirements for successfully participating in an online curriculum, and provided with a foundation for academic and professional success as a scholar-practitioner and social change agent. The focus of course assignments is on the practical application of writing and critical-thinking skills and the integration of professional practice with professional and academic excellence as they relate to practice in public health.
An overview of marketing and public relations principles as they relate to public health, highlighting theoretical concepts that are commonly used in health communications research, is provided to students in this course. Topics include using social marketing techniques, promoting health literacy, developing community partnerships, and creating culturally sensitive and appropriate promotional materials. Students focus on using social media to identify and advance public health interests and ethical principles. Through case studies, students examine how they can use marketing practices to translate health research into social action and behavioral change.
This course will provide contemporary public health leaders and administrators with an overview of the public health policy, legislative, and advocacy process. Students evaluate public health policy though a multidisciplinary framework of politics, epidemiology, economics, ethics, and law. They examine theories and strategies used by policy stakeholders to develop, implement, evaluate, and disseminate public health policy. Through public health case studies, students apply evidence-based research in creating effective public health policies.
In this course, students explore leadership models and theories, the core principles of public health leadership, and the application of systems thinking to public health. They examine how to create strategies and solutions that efficiently utilize public health and healthcare resources. Students also discuss descriptive and prescriptive systems, focusing on the application of these processes to current public health issues and challenges at the organizational and community levels.
In this course, students investigate the provision of resources for the delivery of public health services and the application of economic theories to health policy issues. Students explore how organizational characteristics interact with economic forces to produce systems performance outcomes, as well as how fiscal policy can influence the performance of public health systems. Students analyze grant-writing strategies and the advantages and disadvantages of various financing options. Other topics include methods of economic evaluation and their usefulness in determining appropriate financing mechanisms for public health systems.
In this course, students cover the application of community health assessment, secondary data analysis, and the use of health informatics and surveillance for program planning. Students learn to identify and prioritize problems, then assess and utilize community resources to address these problems. Topics include measuring selected determinants of community health status and health services use, classifying community assets, identifying data sources, simple and complex sampling designs and applying certain methods to maximize community participation incorporating the use of quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods research designs. Students will develop an understanding of statistical and epidemiological methodology to utilize secondary data to synthesize the results of a community health assessment and limitations to create a community diagnosis that serves as the basis for program planning and research design.
This course presents a comprehensive look at public health and behavior change theories that apply to community health education. Students review and assess predominant social and behavioral principles at the individual, interpersonal, and community levels. Students discuss examples of how others have harnessed social marketing and communication technology to effect positive health behavior change in individuals and communities. Students learn to apply theories to public health research and practice.
This course promotes competency in program design, implementation, and evaluation. It provides an overview of public health program planning and development, as well as needs and assets assessment. It focuses on the methods required to implement programs and evaluate their efficacy. Students discuss the administration and coordination of public health program interventions and activities, and explore the variety of methods used to facilitate public health research.
In this capstone course, doctoral students have the opportunity to integrate their program of study and demonstrate their knowledge into an in-depth exploration of a public health practice issue or problem. Students complete an applied practice-based project independently, with the guidance of a capstone supervisory committee chair and committee members, in a learning platform classroom in which weekly participation is required. Students complete a prospectus, proposal, Institutional Review Board application, and carry out and analyze a research protocol and project.
Track II is a program of study for students who have a master's degree in a discipline unrelated to public health.
If you have a Master of Public Health (MPH), see Track I.
This is a laboratory-type course where students learn the skills needed to use the statistical computer package SPSS in public health practice and research. Topics include importation of data, management of various types of data, creation and exportation of tables and graphs, and computation of basic statistical tests using SPSS.
Students in this course learn about biostatistical methods and concepts used in public health practice and research. Emphasis is placed on interpretation and application of concepts rather than statistical calculations. Major topics include identification of types of data, creation and interpretation of narrative and graphical descriptive statistics, conceptualization of statistical inference and probability, and interpretation of common nonparametric tests, analysis of variance, and simple linear regression models. Students are required to use the statistical computer package SPSS.
In this course, students are provided with a foundational understanding of the administrative, managerial, and organizational practices of public health and healthcare delivery systems. Students examine theories of leadership as well as the professional attributes, skills, styles, and strategies required to advance public health goals. They engage in a variety of contextual and practical assignments focused on management theories, policy processes, systems thinking, strategic planning and partnerships, quality and performance improvement, leadership, and organizational behavior. Students also consider the impact of global trends on public health practice, policy, and systems.
Students in this course are provided with an epidemiological approach to the study of the incidence, prevalence, and patterns of disease and injury in populations, and the application of this study to the control of public health problems. Key sources of data for epidemiological purposes are identified, and principles and limitations of public health screening programs are addressed. Students learn to calculate basic epidemiological measures and to draw appropriate inferences from epidemiological data and reports. (Prerequisite(s): PUBH 8033.)

It means nothing
You tell yourself it means nothing. You look at the stats, and the history of the divsional era postseason and you know that being the best team in the regular season means nothing. Of the sixteen World Series since 1995, the best team has won only three times. The worst team in the playoffs has won it twice. (Here's a chart. There's an updated chart including the 2010 data, in the Flip Flop Fly Ball book: neither SF or TEX were the best team in the majors.) But even with this knowledge, you can't help but look at the numbers: the team I root for won the toughest division in the American League, and had the best record in the league, and they'd be playing the winners of the weakest division. The Yankees should win. (And when I say should, I don't mean it in that way that Yankee fans are stereotyped: like they somehow deserve it.) But being the best means nothing. It doesn't matter how much money is spent on the team, either (there's a chart about this in the book, too). Money definitely helps a team get to the playoffs, but we come back to the first point here: in the playoffs, you might as well play pin the tail on the donkey. Even though you tell yourself, with all the evidence, that it means nothing, you can't help but get involved. You see highlight clips before each broadcast, you see catchers running into the arms of pitchers, and the team celebrating on top of them. They won the World Series. All that logical analysis out of the window: those guys won.
There are very few things I don't like about baseball. The lack of logic to the playoffs, though, is one of them. That a season that is way way way longer than any other sport, one-hundred-and-sixty-two friggin' games, can come down to a best-of-five, followed by two best-of-sevens… it's so utterly ridiculous, it makes no sense whatsoever. Maybe my view is tainted because I'm British, I'm used to the best team in English soccer being the one that got the most points in the league. We keep our knockout competitions separate. The goal of the long slog of the season is to come out on top, not be forced to have a quick kick around with seven other teams who were nearly as good. The more I have learned about baseball, the more I have buried myself in the history, the more I think that the game would be better in the pre-1969 league set-up: two leagues, winners play for the series. I can't go back in time to gauge the feelings of players, teams, or fans, but I imagine that before 1969, winning your league's pennant meant a heck of a lot more than it does now. That was a very real prize for winning the long season. What does it mean now? If it is mentioned, it's because you were the World Series loser. It means you won seven games. That's all.
Knowing all this does help, it helps to know that the rolling of a dice isn't going to go your way a lot of the time. But, game five of the ALDS: it's impossible to let your brain entirely rule your heart. I wonder why Nova is yanked so quickly (not knowing he was injured at the time), I wonder why Hughes is yanked so quickly, I see the bases loaded with one out twice and only one run score. I imagine Benoit's boil is chatting away with him. Maybe the boil is a Yankee fan, maybe he's trying to convince him to see if he can throw a type of pitch he's never thrown before. Maybe he's just telling him about some hot girl he's seen in the expensive seats. I see Disco Valverde come in in the 9th, and the perfect narrative in my head - my head being a head that dislikes Valverde - is that the dancing fool gets completely lit up and loses the game for the Tigers. I see Alex Rodriguez, an utterly fantastic player who may be past his best, a player I still hope has some good years left in him, a highly-paid and therefore highly-hated player who just wants to be loved. And I, you, and everyone who cared to look at the glass as being half-empty, knew he'd strike out. (That's not true: I had envisaged a weak grounder to short.) But there's one more big hit in him, he can smack one into the gap, and Teixeira can launch one and win the game. But that didn't happen. Disco Stu struck A-Rod out. Oh. So that's it.
I know, I am very aware, that most of the people reading these words have no sympathy whatsoever for a Yankee fan. This is something beyond the team I root for. I think it's something every fan knows. That hollow feeling when it's all over. I've experienced it twice this season. Once in the Mexican League, and now in the American League. Both teams had the best records in their leagues. Both teams lost to teams called the Tigers. While I am way way way more of a New York Yankees fan than a Diablos Rojos del México fan, the loss in the Mexican League series was actually worse. The Diablos had won the equivalent of the division series, won a game seven in the equivalent of the championship series, and were swept by Tigres de Quintana Roo. I was at games three and four. It was thoroughly depressing. But the disappointment of losing is something that is best shared, I think. Just as is the joy of winning. When I watch important games on TV, I am very quiet. not really a huge amount of fun to be with. There's something so much better about doing it in public, though. Even if you aren't actually with someone you know. You are surrounded by people going through the same emotions. I clearly remember when England lost to Germany in the 1996 European Championships semi-final. I watched it in a pub in my hometown. When England were defeated on penalties, I walked to the bus station through the city. The whole city was quiet. There were lots of people milling around, but nobody was talking. It was kind of beautiful, that shared but separate silence. I felt the shared joy when I saw Liverpool win the Champions League in Istanbul in 2005. I felt the shared disappointment when I saw them lose the Champions League final in Athens in 2007. Until the Diablos-Tigres series, I'd not felt that with baseball. I watched game six of the 2009 World Series, drunk with a friend in Berlin. We drank champagne at nearly 6 o'clock in the morning, Central European Time.
I've watched the last two playoff defeats on my laptop, in my bedroom in Mexico City. The hollow feeling after defeat is all the more hollow when there's nobody around who cares. I'm not one for dissecting every moment of the game when it is over, I just wanna sit near people who know what it's like. After Alex Rodriguez struck out, I closed the browser window immediately. I had no desire to see Detroit celebrate. Especially Valverde. (I have nothing at all against Detroit, just, y'know, he seems like a dick, and I can't help but wonder if he'd be doing this stuff if he were a starter in the National League, having to step into the batter's box.) So I went for a walk around the neighbourhood, and on the way back, stopped in a crappy Irish-type pub, ordered a Jameson's and a Modelo Especial. The bar's speakers were blasting Creedence. Jameson's and Creedence remind me of being in Toronto. The TVs were showing some NASCAR-ish type race.
It's not the end of the world. My team lost. So be it. And I am more than aware that the team I root for is way more likely to win the World Series soon than plenty of other Major League Baseball teams. Now I have to root for the team that I hate the least. So, y'know, go Brewers/Cardinals/D-backs/Tigers. Of course, for the good of the world in general, a World Series featuring the least marketable teams would be best, because it would slow down the flow of money into Rupert Murdoch's bank account. But really, I don't care who is in the World Series. I'm just rooting for the remaining series to go seven games each. More baseball means a shorter wait until Spring Training. Losing sucks. Of course it does. But I am thankful that I have found a game with such a long regular season, where individual losses don't affect me as much. I like watching a game in July, seeing my team lose, and not really being affected by it too much. It's good to enjoy the game more than the result. A couple more weeks of nail-biting, of joy and sorrow for fans of the remaining teams. Then we Hornsby ourselves away until March, with the smaller ballparks, the enormous squads, and the sunshine of Arizona and Florida. March, you are a beautiful month.

Newest Release – The She Wolf and the Priest
What could be spicier than a novella about forbidden love?
Angelora is a breathtakingly beautiful shape shifter who takes the form of a wolf. She also possesses a supernatural ability to raise the dead. She's the last remaining member of a unique gypsy tribe in Romania in 1880 where only the women of the sect retained these extraordinary gifts, handed down from generation to generation.
Father Steven is an incredibly sexy Catholic priest with a haunting past. He lives a simple, holy life attending to the needs of Saint Isidore's parish and draws comfort from the knowledge his past sins have been forgiven, until one fateful night his and Angelora's paths cross.
Will Father Steven ignore his sacred vow of celibacy to woo the beautiful, sultry gypsy who imprints on his life? And will her "powers" unite them or destroy them?
Available now from Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com, and All Romance ebooks.com
The Diamond Cross
I'm happy to announce my latest novel is available for purchase from Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. It is out in both eBook and print versions and is called "The Diamond Cross."
The Diamond Cross is a sweeping historical romance/saga that exemplifies love, hope, fortitude and personal triumph in a spectacular, hedonistic era. Siblings János and Eva Imre emigrate from Budapest to New York in 1873 in pursuit of elusive Bart Karolyi, a wolf in sheep's clothing who has stolen Eva's heart, her virginity and the entire Imre family's savings. János and pregnant Eva face incredible odds after being processed through Castle Garden–the gateway to America. Will the family heirloom, a fabulously stunning diamond cross, help sustain them and guarantee a future for Eva's bastard child? Or will it prove to be their undoing? Can Janós rise above adversity to gain revenge on the man who destroyed the simplicity and sanity of their lives?
Even in the midst of personal chaos, hope shines through as Janós and his son Brenton discover the presence of a striking thirteen year old girl in the lobby of their hotel in Saratoga Springs. Who is this young beauty and why was she abandoned upon their doorstep? Does she have the power to rearrange their lives, to forever imprint herself upon them? Heather Hatfield captures the hearts of the Imre men folk, maturing into a breathtaking young woman with a keen business sense. Neither János nor Brenton can get enough of her. But whose heart does she hold dear? Can she love both father and son equally? Is her presence in their lives a good thing, or will it destroy them?
Heather sang while bathing later that morning. She was still singing when she appeared in the lobby dressed in lilac and smelling of it, too. János spent the night in his office and looked weary, but she didn't notice as she danced around the lobby, greeting the guests with a cheerful, "Good morning. Nice day, isn't it?"
She was on her way to see Artemus when she heard Brenton's voice coming from a room next to János' office. It was a smaller office and Brenton was using it as his own until a larger one could be outfitted for his needs. Heather knocked once. Without waiting, she opened the door. What she saw curdled her blood. Veronica Farmingdale and Brenton sat face to face across a wide table and there were what looked like wedding invitations strewn upon it. Veronica had just addressed a white parchment envelope when Heather barged in.
"Well, look what the cat dragged in," Veronica said.
Brenton looked like Veronica's cat had gotten the best of him as he said, "Hello, Heather."
"Hello?" Heather mouthed in astonishment. "What's going on here, Brenton?"
"We're writing wedding invites," Veronica said snottily. "I don't believe I saw your name on our list."
Heather grimaced. "Brenton, may I see you alone for a moment?"
Brenton's brows furrowed, but he stood and followed her into the hallway. She led him inside the now empty dining room and stood looking at him for a long moment. When he said nothing, she tapped the toe of her shoe on the floor and said, "I believe an explanation's in order."
"Veronica picked our wedding date. It'll be just before Christmas. We were just…"
"Addressing the invitations. I know. Brenton, after last night…"
"Last night was special, but it doesn't change anything," he said softly. "I'm still marrying Veronica."
Heather's heart went limp and she fought back tears of hurt and outrage. "How can you say that? How can you do that? You told me you loved me, Brenton."
"I do," he said sadly. "But Veronica's good marriage material. I need to marry into money the way my father did. A match between Veronica and myself would cement our families and be a good investment for the Meredith Arms. With my education and her money, we could build this hotel into a palace and her father could help us secure even more properties."
"That's it?" she said incredulously. "A business investment? She's marriage material and I'm not?" Heather felt herself fill with rage.
"We can still be friends," he said. "We'll see each other every day and…"
Heather slapped him, a swift palm slap to the side of his mouth which resounded in the otherwise quiet room and bounced off the walls. "You're a bastard," she shouted. "Go to hell." She turned on her heels and stormed out of the room.
Leave a comment about Love's Sweet Vengenace for a chance to win a free ebook copy
I'm excited to tell you about my latest Rebel Ink Press release:
It's entitled Love's Sweet Vengeance and it's about a lady sheriff and a sexy male bounty hunter in the days of the Old West in 1866. It's in ebook format and print copy and available from Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and All Romance e-books. Print copy is only available from Amazon.com.
The Old West in 1866 spells romance and danger. Pair a smart and independent lady sheriff in New Mexico Territory with a virile bounty hunter and you get sizzling chemistry, even though they're at odds with each other and their objectives.
Garrett Wade and Amanda Larson form a truce to work together to track down Clem Jones, the outlaw responsible for Garrett's wife's murder. But will the justice they're after consist of Amanda's way or Garrett's? Amanda, a lawman first and foremost, wants to bring Jones in for a fair trial, but Garrett wants only revenge–to put a bullet between the wretched outlaw's eyes.
Their quest leads them into mortal danger, while a powerful lust brings them together in ways neither bargained for. Can they survive the peril, exact justice, endure a gut-wrenching separation, and still nurture their lust into an abiding love?
Through the trees a gray wolf appeared, its fangs dripping with saliva. The wolf saw Amanda the same time she saw it. She leveled the gun in her hand and was about to release a warning shot to scare away the wolf.
"Fire that gun and you'll alert Clem Jones you're on his tail."
She turned quickly to her left where a man in black attire sat atop a handsome stallion. On his head was a ten gallon hat with ties beneath his chin. She recognized the face as that of Garrett Wade.
"How'd you get out of jail?" she asked.
He removed his hat and flung it deftly in the wolf's direction, sending the animal scurrying back into the woods. Garrett dismounted and retrieved his hat. Dusting it off on the side of his leg, he crossed to where Amanda was standing.
"Your deputy's a good man, Sheriff," he said. "We had a little chat. I explained to him if he let me go, I'd look out for you and make sure no harm came to you. He said he promised your pa he'd take care of you. He admitted he didn't like you riding out alone after that sonofabitch Jones."
"John let you go?" she said, her pretty blue eyes wide as saucers.
"Sometimes it takes a man like him and not a boy like you to know what's right and what's wrong. He shares the same code of honor as I do."
She frowned. Had she heard him correctly? He thought she was a boy? "A boy?" she said incredulously. "Are you calling me a boy?" Her scowl showed her irritation.
"No offense. You look kinda young to be a man."
"You are a fool, Mister Wade. I'm not a boy. I'm a woman. "
Even in the waning light she could see his startled expression and it pleased her. The idiot couldn't tell a woman from a boy.
He looked her over as if seeing her for the first time then a slow smile spread across his face. He laughed. "Well, I'll be damned. A woman sheriff? What won't they think of next?"

Here's a wonderful book of recipes and more from Rebel Ink Press authors, including yours truly, coming out April 17th in ebook format as well as print. In the words of Rebel Ink Press:
Through the ages food has been seen as a way to commune with others, bringing fellowship to the table while nourishing the body. Food is key in celebration and in honoring. It's also been commonly widespread everything from asparagus to honey to chocolate and oysters hold aphrodisiacal properties. But we at Rebel Ink Press believe not only is food nourishment for the body and fuel for romance, cooking is one of the sexiest and most nurturing things one can do for another.
It's the way to the heart.
Rebel Ink Press presents The Way to the Heart, a collection of recipes from twenty-six Rebel writers, our charitable project for 2013. For every copy sold a charitable donation will be made to help nurture families and communities around the world through Heifer International.

Picking a locale and time period for a novel
People have asked me how do I pick a location and/or time period for a new story? Well, that's the fun part! I do my best thinking lying in bed just before falling asleep. Often my head is so full of ideas and thoughts I never fall asleep! Basically, I think of a time and place I would have liked to live, such as Medieval Times in England. Or back in biblical times. The characters come easily once I know where and when I'd like to write about because the characters are born from the era. If I'm writing about a war, it stands to reason one of my main characters will a soldier. I've written two novels with military heroes, My Life, My Heart and On Angels' Wings.
Then I keep a file with new ideas and a working synopsis of each idea for future projects. If I'm in bed when I devise a plot, I get up and write it down so as not to forget it by the next morning. Many ideas for novels have come to me that way.
Picking a location is half the fun of writing. It allows me to live vicariously through my characters and my plots. It's like living a multitude of life times! The writer's life is great!

Mascara Monday: Maybelline XXL Pro Curl Recourber
Next up for Maybelline's XXL Pro line is the mascara that is all about curl. Curl, baby! Some of us need volume. Some of us desire length. And some of us want curly lashes. I think it's hard to find a good curl mascara and I seriously believe that to get a good amount of curl, you'll need to use a eyelash curler.
How does this baby do?
Overall: 5 out of 5
What it claims: Per the packaging…
The truth: 45° angle? Uh…I didn't know there was geometry in mascaras. Help!
What I didn't like: Applying it can be tough because you can't get much of a grip on the handle.
Overall: I have always been pretty skeptical when it comes to curl mascaras. Their concept always confused me. Like…exactly how can it curl? What is in the formula that makes it curl AND keeps it curled? Talk about a mystery. While I didn't crack the case on this one, I was pretty amazed at its performance.
First of all, the etymology nerd that is me had to look up what 'recourber' meant. It's French for "to bend". I wouldn't know how to conjugate it since my second language is Spanish, pero we digress. Aren't you glad I cleared that up? Mascara reviews and etymology. Gotta love Clumps!
By George, girls…it curls! I know, I know…I'm am just as shocked as you all are. I really like this mascara and I think it gets the job done. Like all Maybelline XXL Pro mascaras you've got a primer on one end and the mascara on the other.
La Primer…
La Mascara…
The curved wand REALLY assists in the application. I used it to press up against my lashes. Like so…
I would hold it in that position for a few seconds and for the same for the next eye. This technique, I think, forces your lashes to curl a bit. Now one of the problems I did run into with this baby was the lack of grip. It was so hard to get good control of the wand because I felt like it kept hitting my face.
Yeah, I don't know. Maybe it's just me and my fat face. Ah well!
First the primer…
…look, it's already curling!And then…
Any curl mascara fans out there?

Tuesday, April 29, 1986 Vol. 46 No. 48 WSC seeks grant for NUSAT II by Kathryn Ward Staff Reporter WSC has filed for a grant from the NASA Centers for Commercial Development of Space. NASA is providing these grants to encourage commercial development of technical and scientific information gained through the NUSAT program, according to Robert Twiggs, associate professor of electronic engineering technology. In order to qualify for the NASA grant, it was necessary to organize a consortium. The consortium will have to be nonprofit and consist of an educationindustry partnership, he said. WSC has enlisted the cooperation of Montana State University, the University of Idaho, and industry partners from California, Montana and ASWSC employment amendment passes by Doug Burch Staff Reporter Constitutional amendment changes on the employment and extra-curricular activity of executive officers was passed in the ASWSC senate meeting. It will now be brought before the student body for ratification. As the constitution read before, executive officers were not allowed to be employeed outside ASWSC during the fall, winter or spring quarters. They could be employed during the summmer quarter and the quarter breaks as along as their outside employment did not interfere with fulfillment of official duties..,This was found unconstitutional by the ASWSC Supreme Court. In the new amendment introduced by Kelly Miles, executive vice president, it reads as follows: "No other employment or extracurricular activity shall take precedence over any meeting, activities, or cause conflict of interest with executive officers' responsibilities or duties as outlined in the contitu-tion and respective charters. Each executive officer's schedule must ensure the availability for said duties seven days a week." A number of students have talked to Miles and the other executive officers about their concern over the implied, discrimination in the previous amendment. "This new amendment places responsibility on the office and not the person," said Laura Williams, senator for the School of Social Sciences. The new executive officers decided to run a long time ago and were not counting on working during the upcoming year, and we shouldn't have to worry about that," said Todd Anderson, ASWSC president. "Let's be realistic. I don't think the amendment would pass the student body unless we run it by them, and I think we should educate them instead.""It is not the role of the student government to actually go out and lobby for amendments," Miles said, "but to inform students. It could be perceived as lobbying, though, because we voted for the amendment, and this should protect us in case of abuse." "Why are we worried about those trying to abuse the system " asked Eulogio Alejandre, senator for the School of Education. "These people running for office come into it with the right attitude, so why should we be expecting them to do something wrong0" "Where are we going to draw the line " asked Scott Baxter, ASWSC senator for the School of Business and Economics. "Does the senate have enough cohesiveness to determine the line"" "No one tries to abuse the system," said Anderson. The abuse would have to be so high before any action would be taken." Utah in forming the Western Space Technologies Center consortium, Twiggs said. The expected cost of NUSAT II is $250,000, said Twiggs. Half of that amount has been received as a grant from the Utah Centers of Excellence. A proposal for the remaining funding was submitted April 15 and will be considered along with 25 other applications for grants. Approximately five of these will be approved, said Twiggs. Announcement of approval will be made sometime in August. ."The space shuttle tragedy will definitely set back the time of launch, but we're confident that it will happen, and we're going ahead more with our efforts," he said. The electronic engineering department is planning for a launch of NUSAT II in the fall of 1987. Weber State College attracted national attention when NUSAT I was deployed in . space as part of the Challenger Space Shuttle program.

The Writing Assistance Center and Computer Lab are open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The Out-Reach Program supplements this time schedule on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 7-10 p.m. Roghaar pointed out that during one of the three days that the Out-Reach Program is available, the English faculty instructors volunteer to help students, thus promoting faculty-student rapport in an informal setting. Response has been tremendous from the faculty, he said. He felt that it has been quite an enjoyable experience for those faculty members who are involved.(See VOLUNTEER on page 2)

Interest in biogenic natural gas production has grown substantially in recent years with the recognition that the operational life of depleted hydrocarbon reserves may be extended using technologies that enhance the activity of indigenous microbial communities. These technologies could also be applied to depleted coal seams located throughout the Powder River Basin with the added economic benefit of existing coal bed methane related infrastructure. The responsible development of this technology requires the proper management of a wide range of complex scientific, environmental, economic and social issues.

Earthquakes Rattle Texas Towns in the Barnett Shale
On January 2, more than 800 residents turned out for a public meeting with members of the Texas Railroad Commission, the agency that regulates the Texas oil and gas industry. The people who came were desperate for information about what is going on.
Texas Railroad Commissioner David Porter was heckled when he refused to answer their questions, telling them they were there just to listen.
After hearing the testimony of their neighbors, most of the residents had more questions than they had when the meeting began. Sharon Wilson, an environmental activist with Earthworks, led the way in organizing a follow-up meeting to educate residents about the fracking industry.
Afterward, 50 area residents chartered a bus to Austin to attend the next Railroad Commission meeting and call for a moratorium on the use of the injection wastewater wells closest to the earthquakes' epicenter. Residents have formed an advisory committee that will coordinate further meetings and do what it can to have the wells shut down.

CALGARY -- Brandon Gormley is finally getting a chance to play for the Canadian junior men's hockey team after two years of disappointment.
Cut from the team as a 17-year-old, the Moncton Wildcats defenceman would have made the squad last year. But a knee injury forced him to watch the 2011 world junior championship on television from his home in Murray River, P.E.I.
"It was definitely heartbreaking to have to sit at home last year," Gormley said Saturday. "I'm glad to be back here again and hopefully take advantage of it. It was definitely a long road to make this team.
"It's always been a dream of mine to play here. It would be very special to play."
The Phoenix Coyotes prospect is a solid bet to be on Canada's blue-line at the 2012 world junior championship starting Boxing Day in Alberta.
Gormley is among 42 players invited to try out for the team this week in Calgary. Head coach Don Hay, also coach of the WHL's Vancouver Giants, is expected to announce the 22-player Canadian team Wednesday morning.
Canada was a silver medallist the last two years after a run of five straight gold. The host country's bid to re-claim gold starts Dec. 26 in Edmonton versus Finland.
Canada lost the final in Buffalo in heartbreaking fashion. Leading 3-0 heading into the third period, Russia scored five unanswered goals to take the title.
The Canadians will play their Pool B games in Edmonton. Russia is in Pool A in Calgary and that city will also host the playoff games, including the Jan. 5 final.
The last-minute additions of NHL players Devante Smith-Pelly of the Anaheim Ducks and Brett Connelly of the Tampa Bay Lightning was a boost to Canadian team.
But just as quickly as the roster grew, it shrunk by one. Kingston Frontenacs forward Ryan Spooner was not able to attend camp because of mononucleosis.
Forty-two is still a large group when the average in recent years was less than 40.
"No doubt about it. It's probably been one of our biggest groups," Hay said. "It's big because of the closeness of the competition. It's going to be a fine line to make that last cut and there's going to be some tough decisions for us."
The players are split into red and white squads. They practise in the morning and play an intra-squad game at night both Sunday and Monday.
Hay says he'll release some players after Monday's second intra-squad game. Those who remain will face a university team in Tuesday's exhibition game before the team is announced the following day.
"You know it's a real short camp here so they don't have a lot of time to wait around," Hay said. "They have to start real quick."
Toronto native Smith-Pelly was a standout at summer camp in Edmonton, creating space for himself and his linemates to generate scoring chances. Connolly played for Canada in the 2011 tournament.
"Both those players have an impact in coming back," Hay said. "Brett made the team the last year so he's a veteran presence coming back.
"Smith-Pelly was really good at camp. He's brings a real good physical presence, big strong guy and that's the way we want to play."
Both Smith-Pelly and Connolly expect to return to their NHL clubs following the tournament.
"Right now my focus is on Team Canada and Team Canada only," said Connolly. "I want to help the team win a gold medal as much as I can and be the best leader I can."
Connolly, Jaden Schwartz of Colorado College, Quinton Howden of the Moose Jaw Warriors, and Niagara IceDogs goaltender Mark Visentin are the veterans from the 2011 squad.
Schwartz fractured his ankle in Canada's second game in Buffalo and didn't play again in the tournament. His sister Mandi was ill with cancer at the time and died April 3 at the age of 23.
The Wilcox, Sask., native has a demeanour that makes him seem older than his 19 years. Schwartz is a strong candidate to be team captain, but he's just excited about his second chance to go for gold.
"I've got butterflies in my stomach already," said Schwartz. "More than last time. I've been looking forward to this for a long time. I feel lucky and fortunate to get a second opportunity."
Visentin was in goal for Canada's collapse in Buffalo. As the only goaltender of the four invited with previous experience in the tournament, Visentin is the frontrunner for the starting job.
A player of concern for Canada is Saint John Sea Dogs winger Jonathan Huberdeau. The Memorial Cup MVP arrived at Calgary International Airport wearing a walking cast on his right foot.
Huberdeau broke a bone in his foot Nov. 7 and hasn't skated since. He, too, stood out among players at summer camp.
"We want to evaluate him," Hay said. "Not sure if he'll get on the ice the first day, but he'll work with our off-ice people and we'll see where he's at."
Everett Silvertips defenceman Ryan Murray was sidelined seven weeks with an ankle injury, but he got a game in Friday with his club team prior to his arrival.
Hockey Canada's policy is invited players must report to selection camp to be considered for the Canadian team. Tyler Seguin of the Boston Bruins, Jeff Skinner of the Carolina Hurricanes, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins of the Edmonton Oilers, Sean Couturier of the Philadelphia Flyers and Ryan Johansen of the Columbus Blue Jackets will remain in the NHL.
Seguin and Skinner are both in their second years in the NHL and weren't considered real possibilities for Canada. The Oilers declared earlier this month that Nugent-Hopkins, their first overall pick in the draft this year, would be staying with them.
Nugent-Hopkins, Couturier and Johansen are all centres, so Hay will be auditioning for replacements at camp. Mark Scheifele of the Barrie Colts and Niagara's Ryan Strome should have the inside track on two of the four jobs there.
Notes: The NHL's Phoenix Coyotes, Florida Panthers and Montreal Canadiens have the most prospects at camp with three each ... The Western Hockey League leads all invitees with 16, followed by the OHL with 14, the QMJHL with eight, the NHL with two and another two are from U.S. colleges ... The OHL's Niagara IceDogs have the most players at camp with four.

The creation of a community radio station in Boulder Creek appears to be quickly approaching.
The Boulder Creek Recreation and Park District board of directors voted unanimously during a special meeting Tuesday, July 30 to approve an agreement between the district and Common Frequency, Inc. that would have the district purchase KBCZ 90.1 FM, a high-power radio frequency in Boulder Creek.
Terms of the deal are not yet finalized, but the district agreed in principle to pay up to $12,000 for KBCZ which includes a $3,000 down payment to get the process started.
Board member Tess Fitzgerald negotiated the agreement with the services of Michael Couzens, a Berkeley-based attorney who specializes in FCC licensing issues.
Not a done deal
KBCZ, which has been silent and inactive for more than a year, is limited to broadcasting in Boulder Creek and Brookdale.
According to Fitzgerald, Common Frequency must get the station back on the air by Aug. 11 at midnight, or it will go dark without a license for the foreseeable future.
"They have a large mountain to climb to renew and transfer (the frequency)," Fitzgerald told the board. "But they felt confident they would be able to do the renewal, transfer and assignment (to Boulder Creek Recreation)."
To go live, Common Frequency will have to install an antenna at a site on Bear Creek Road and hook up a computer that will broadcast a continuous loop of content until the local radio outfit is prepared to begin broadcasting original content.
If the station does not go live by Aug. 11, the deal will be completely off, according to the agreement.
After the station goes live, however, it would be months before the sale finalized. Director George Galt, who also sat in on the negotiations, said the closing date for the purchase would likely be in January.
A non-profit solution
While Boulder Creek Rec would own the station, the district would not operate it, nor take on operating costs. That job would be up to a community group that has formed called Boulder Creek Community Radio. Heading up the operation are Tim Welch, Tina Davey and Sam Peacock — locals who wish to run a non-profit station in Boulder Creek.
Welch, the stations interim general manager, has testified to Boulder Creek's board many times about how the station could be used and believes the community wants a station.
Several audience members at the meeting supported the purpose of the station, saying it could be used for educational and informational purposes, local music and emergency communications like weather alerts and road closures for people in the valley.
Welch estimated the cost of running the volunteer station to be $6,000 to $8,000 annually once it was up-and-running.
"We're committed to raising that money and I think the community is committed to raising that money," Welch told the board.
Peacock studied music history in college and has experience working for a radio station in Berkeley, both on the air and on the technical side.
"I have really missed radio," Peacock said. "As soon as I heard about this whole project, I jumped on it."
Another expert has signed on. JV Rudnick, a Ben Lomond resident is excited about the project and has installed radio towers and equipment in Bonny Doon, among other locations.
Director George Galt is also a proponent of the project and said he believes spending public dollars to seed a community radio station is a good use of taxpayer funds.
"One of our mission statements is building community through parks, programs and facilities," Galt said. "This fits two of the criteria, programs and facilities."
Galt said a radio station serves traditionally underserved populations, including kids, shut-ins and older adults. He also has an emotional connection with songs on the radio.
"I've gotten kissed because of the radio," he said.
Fitzgerald, who originally thought the idea was not smart, said her mind has been changed by the public's ongoing efforts to get the station up and running. However, she said, if the venture fails the district should sell the rights to another group, so not to lose taxpayer money.
"The district will not be running this out of a broom closet," Fitzgerald said.

A pet goldfish is off-the-hook and alive after a micro-surgery removes a tumor from his brain.
The Village of Ottawa is
using a state grant of $100,000 to figure out how to turn hundreds of thousands
of pounds of cow manure into Class A sludge, or fertilizer.
Dairy farmers in the area
say this will be a huge help.
"It just gives us another
option on when we can apply our manure or fertilizer onto our fields," said
Dennis Rieman, dairy manager at Van Ham Farm.
The feasibility study will
analyze how cost-effective it is to take manure from dairy farms and process it
at the village sewage facility. It will determine if they can make the liquid
product into a more dry fertilizer. Once treated, the product is called sludge.
"Basically, reduce the
amount of volume of the product and make it something more beneficial to
fields," said Jason Phillips, the Ottawa Assistant Municipal Director.
Van Ham Dairy Farm is
supplying the manure for the study. They have 2,200 cows that produce about 100
pounds of manure every day.
Currently the manure is
mixed with water and sits in one of their three lagoons until it can be used as
fertilizer. The problem is it can only be applied to dry land. If the manure
was in a dry form, it could be put to better use.
"We want to put it back on
our fields to grow our crops, but it's nice to have that option that we can
turn it into another drier product so it can be applied," Rieman said. "Homeowners
can take it and put it in their garden, put it in their grass."
And according to Phillips,
the process would better benefit the crops grown, as well.
"It will allow for a more
slow release of the product out on the fields, so farmers can get better
benefit from the nutrients that are in the cake product," he said.
Ottawa students will learn
about the testing and even help with studies later this year.
