Trial Nears in Sears Tower Terror Case
Case looks at the issue of whether discussions cross the line between idle talk and real plots
"If I can put up a building then I should definitely know how to take one down," Batiste said, according to an FBI transcript.
After his June 2006 arrest, Batiste told the FBI he was never serious and was only stringing Mohammed along in hopes of extorting money from him.
Members of the group also took reconnaissance photos in March 2006 of the FBI's office in Miami and other local federal buildings at Mohammed's request.

Survivor: South Pacific is the twenty-third season of the American CBS competitive reality television series Survivor. The season was filmed from May 30 through July 7, 2011 and premiered on September 14, 2011.[1] Applications were due in January 11, 2011, approximately 800 applicants visited in various states, from there 16 contestants were chosen as participants.[2] The two original tribes were Savaii and Upolu (both named from Savai'i and Upolu, two main islands of the independent nation of Samoa), and the merged tribe into Te Tuna (were given from a Samoan legend about the origins of the coconut tree).
Samoa was not initially selected as a location for this season, as the show had already filmed two seasons (Samoa and Heroes vs. Villains) in the area. The production team withdrew from their original locale, Tonga, due to economic problems.[3] The season was filmed in the vicinity of Upolu and it served as the location for the next season.[4] Redemption Island, first introduced in the prior season, returned for this season.
Sophie Clarke was named the winner in the final episode on December 18, 2011, defeating Benjamin "Coach" Wade and Albert Destrade in a 6–3–0 vote.[5] Ozzy Lusth won $100,000 as the "Sprint Player of the Season", winning this honor by the largest margin since the award's inception in Survivor: China, and earning the fans' vote over John Cochran.
Alina Wilson from Nicaragua states that she was asked back to this season, but did not make the final cast.[6] Jeff Varner from The Australian Outback states that he was asked to return, which he accepted, but was cut.[7] Mike Skupin, also from The Australian Outback declined the offer to return due to his mother passing away.[8] After agreeing to compete on The Amazing Race, Jenna Morasca, winner of The Amazon, and her boyfriend Ethan Zohn, winner of Africa, were asked to return in this season but they turned down because they didn't want to compete against each other for a second time.[9] Shane Powers from Exile Island was considered to be on this season, but was cut and replaced by Ozzy Lusth.[10]
This season features 16 players new to Survivor, as well as two returning players: Ozzy Lusth from Cook Islands and Micronesia, and Benjamin "Coach" Wade from Tocantins and Heroes vs. Villains. Brandon Hantz, one of the new players, is the nephew of Survivor villain Russell Hantz.[11]
Brandon Hantz, John Cochran and Dawn Meehan returned for Survivor: Caramoan.[12] Hantz finished in 15th place, Meehan tied for runner-up, and Cochran won the season. Whitney Duncan and Keith Tollefson have since become engaged, and both are racing as a team for The Amazing Race 25.[13]

Season summary[edit]
Sixteen new castaways, previously divided into two tribes, Savaii and Upolu, were joined by returning contestants, Oscar "Ozzy" Lusth and Benjamin "Coach" Wade, with Ozzy joining Savaii and Coach joining Upolu by random draw. Redemption Island was again in play: voted out players would be sent to Redemption Island and participate in duels, with the winner remaining there until either the next duel or until two specific points where players were brought back into the game.
Both tribes rallied under the leadership of Ozzy and Coach. Ozzy's style was somewhat more aggressive, establishing a rift between the majority of his alliance and others, specifically the weaker Cochran. Coach, having reflected on his past performances on Survivor, had a more open style, which most of the group readily followed, including Brandon, who later revealed himself to be the nephew of former Survivor castaway Russell Hantz, and had feared revealing this to draw his tribe's ire. Both Ozzy and Coach found their tribes' respective Hidden Immunity Idols.
The two tribes fared equally at challenges and retained similar numbers, and as they approached the perceived merge, Ozzy offered a plan to volunteer to be voted to go to Redemption Island, where he would likely win the challenge over Christine, a former Upolu member, assuring that the tribes would be equal at six members each when merged. This plan went as expected, and the newly merged tribe named themselves Te Tuna. However, Ozzy's former rash behavior to Cochran was seen as an opportunity by the former Upolu members, and they were able to turn Cochran to their side on the first vote after the merge, voting out former Savaii member Keith. The Upolu members and Cochran would continue to dominate at Tribal Council, sending the remaining Savaii members to Redemption Island, starting with Ozzy, who dominated at Redemption Island subsequently.
With no other Savaii members remaining, Cochran was voted out next, followed by Upolu outsider Edna. In the subsequent challenge, Brandon won immunity but offered it to his closest ally Albert, who was the intended target of the vote. Brandon was voted out and defeated by Ozzy the next day at the final Redemption duel. Ozzy returned to the game and won the subsequent challenge; at Tribal Council, Sophie broke down into tears but affirmed her commitment to the game, and Rick was voted off. In the final immunity challenge between Coach, Ozzy, Sophie, and Albert, Sophie was narrowly able to defeat Ozzy; she and her former Upolu members voted off Ozzy for the third and final time. Coach, Albert, and Sophie faced the final Tribal Council, where Coach was criticized for manipulating his tribe while simultaneously preaching the importance of honor and Albert was considered to have given his former tribe members false hope. The jury awarded Sophie the title of Sole Survivor over Coach and Albert in a 6-3-0 vote, respectively.

|"I Need Redemption"
|September 14, 2011
The sixteen new castaways rowed rafts ashore to the Redemption Island Arena to await the arrival of two mystery players by helicopter. Coach and Ozzy disembarked. To determine which tribes the two returnees would join, Jeff gave them each an egg with either blue or red paint inside. The two crushed their eggs, with Ozzy crushing it on his chest, to reveal that Coach joined Upolu and Ozzy joined Savaii. Coach's welcome to his tribe was cold, while Ozzy's was warm. John requested that Jeff call him by his last name, Cochran, in the vein of past castaways that Jeff really liked.
Jeff explained that Redemption Island was in play and that a reward challenge would begin immediately between Coach and Ozzy representing their tribes. They both struggled with the Tower of Hanoi puzzle, requesting help from their tribes. Savaii's assistance was pivotal and Ozzy took the win. When Upolu arrived at their campsite, Coach tried to charm his tribe and overcome his cold greeting, while Christine went off to look for the hidden immunity idol. Brandon struggled with a dangerous secret. He is Russell Hantz's nephew and has "Little Hantz" tattooed on his back and arm. Coach formed an alliance with Albert, Brandon, Rick, and Sophie. Over at Savaii, Mark asked to be called Papa Bear. On day 2, Dawn had a minor emotional breakdown, which concerned Papa Bear and Ozzy.
|"He Has Demons"
|September 21, 2011
On Redemption Island, Semhar recited poetry to comfort herself over feeling abandoned by her tribe. At Upolu, even though Coach already had an alliance, he formed a "needs to know" alliance with Edna. In keeping his relation to Russell Hantz a secret and with guilt eating at him, Brandon revealed his secret to Coach and asked him to keep it to himself. Brandon gave his word that he would stick with Coach and their alliance. Christine found the clue to the hidden immunity idol. Brandon continued to project sinister and sordid motivations in Mikayla's simple camp activities and felt so uncomfortable around her - saying that she reminded him of Parvati Shallow - Brandon planned to vote Mikayla out as soon as possible. At Savaii, Ozzy used his past Survivor experience and looked for things out of place and discovered the hidden immunity idol. Jim put forth a "3 plus 2" alliance plan of himself, Keith, and Ozzy as a core alliance with Elyse and Whitney as the "plus 2".
|"Reap What You Sow"
|September 28, 2011
Day 6's tree mail announced the first Redemption Island duel. The tribes were instructed to send two members to witness the duel; Upolu sent Coach and Stacey while Savaii sent Ozzy and Elyse.
Before the duel started, Semhar recited more poetry to calm herself, but it did not help and she lost to Christine. On day 7 at Upolu, Brandon felt guilty about lying to his tribe during his push to vote out Mikayla. He finally told them the truth about his family, displayed his tattoos and apologized for continuing to lie to them. In private, Brandon and Mikayla discussed why he wanted to vote her out. After Brandon felt threatened by her demeanor, he gathered the rest of the tribe and told them all that he was very upset at Mikayla's approach, that she did not appear to have much of an alliance, and to keep him out of all tribal drama. Coach was concerned that Brandon's outburst would cause friction within the tribe and his alliance. At Savaii, Ozzy decided that he had to trust somebody with the knowledge of his hidden immunity idol discovery and he decided upon telling Keith. Keith then told Whitney in order to gain her trust.
|October 5, 2011
Jim was concerned that Ozzy and Elyse had a tighter bond than people realized and that he could not vote out Ozzy, so he confided with Cochran about a plan to vote out Elyse next. Cochran agreed as that would leave him in the game for at least another three days. At Upolu, Brandon was still feeling tormented by his actions and decided to be a better more honest player. He apologized to Mikayla for his recent outburst in front of the tribe. He then told Edna that she was not part of the core alliance of Albert, Brandon, Coach, Sophie, and Rick, but just a sixth subordinate member. Cochran, Jim, Brandon, and Edna went to observe the Redemption Island duel.
Before the duel started, Brandon apologized to Christine for how the Tribal Council went against her. Christine edged out Papa Bear to win her second duel in a row. Brandon's revelation about her status made Edna more cautious and she decided that she had to emphasize the social aspect of her game by being cordial and polite since she didn't consider herself to be a strong physical competitor. However, she overplayed her "be nice to everyone" strategy; her constant talking and laughing just ended up irritating Mikayla and Stacey. At Savaii, Cochran approached Dawn about voting out Elyse next.
|"Taste the Victory"
|October 12, 2011
When Stacey arrived at Redemption Island, she vowed to tell Savaii at the Redemption Island duel that Coach was in control of Upolu. At Upolu, Brandon felt offended by Mikayla's answer during the previous Tribal Council that she disliked him because he was a Hantz. Albert, Mikayla, Dawn, and Whitney went to witness the Redemption Island duel.
Christine and Stacey lambasted Albert and Mikayla, and told Dawn and Whitney that Coach, whom they declined to call Coach, but instead used his real name, Benjamin, was in complete control, Albert was Coach's right-hand man, and the entire tribe were liars. Christine won her third duel in a row. When Albert and Mikayla returned to camp, they told the tribe about Stacey's venting, which upset Coach as he felt it would put a target on his back. Albert found the clue to the hidden immunity idol, but when he couldn't find the Idol itself, he told Coach and Sophie about the clue to enhance their trust in him. Coach found the hidden immunity idol and told his new sub-alliance of three.
|"Free Agent"
|October 19, 2011
When Savaii returned to their camp, Ozzy felt betrayed by the tribe's decision to go behind his back and vote out Elyse, declaring himself a "free agent" in terms of no alliances with the tribe. Feeling that he wanted to put everything out in the open, he declared that he had the hidden immunity idol. The rest of the tribe felt that Ozzy was being childish about the blindside. Over at Upolu, Brandon found the clue to the hidden immunity idol and shared it with Coach and Albert. Brandon went on the hunt without knowing that Coach already had the idol. Coach and Albert agreed that telling Brandon that they already had the idol would cause him to fly off the handle.
Sophie, Rick, Ozzy, and Keith witnessed Christine continue her domination at the Redemption Island duel with her fourth win in a row. Over at Upolu, Edna continued cozying up with Coach in order to improve her outlier status with the core alliance of five. On day 15, Ozzy realized that his temper tantrum after Tribal Council was a mistake and tried to patch things up with the tribe.
|"Trojan Horse"
|October 26, 2011
When Upolu returned to camp from Tribal Council, most of the tribe expressed concern that Brandon's recurring blowups at Tribal Council could potentially jeopardize their future in the game. Edna, however, secretly hoped that Brandon's behavior would continue, as it might take the target off her.
Sophie, Albert, Ozzy, and Cochran witnessed the duel between Christine and Mikayla. Despite the verbal support that Mikayla received from Albert and Sophie, Christine won her fifth Redemption Island duel in a row in a closely fought match. With Christine's continued domination at the duels and the possibility that Savaii might lose the next challenge, Ozzy began to consider volunteering to be sent to Redemption Island so that he could defeat Christine ahead of a tribal merge. A win by him would mean that the tribes would go into the merge in equal numbers. He approached Cochran about his plan and also offered to give his hidden immunity idol to someone to hold for him while he was at Redemption Island. At Upolu, Coach tried to inspire his tribe by having them all "find" the hidden immunity idol. Coach, Albert, and Sophie staged a hunt for the idol for the others. While passing the tree mail stand, Coach and Sophie found a package announcing the upcoming challenge, so they took the opportunity to announce they had "two pieces of great news": the upcoming challenge and the "finding" of the hidden immunity idol.

When Ozzy arrived at Redemption Island, he spun his planned tale about being blindsided by Cochran to Christine. Both tribes arrived to witness the Redemption Island duel and Upolu was stunned to see Ozzy in the duel. When asked by Jeff if he was surprised to be here, Ozzy laid it on thick with the resentment towards Cochran on being voted out, but Albert and Coach were suspect about the act. After Jeff announced the rules of the duel, he announced that the winner would return to the game. Ozzy crushed Christine at the duel when he retrieved all his keys and walked through the doorway without Christine retrieving a single key. Jeff told Ozzy that he was back in the game and that the tribes had merged. After the traditional merge feast, Cochran tried to play being an outsider to Coach, but Coach saw right through Savaii's intentions and laid out exactly what they had planned. Coach told Cochran that he had a choice of leaving the Tribal Council vote up to chance after a split vote or truly leaving his former tribe and voting with Upolu. Cochran decided to leave his old tribe and he told Upolu all about Savaii's plans and tribal politics. Cochran kept his word and returned the hidden immunity idol to Ozzy. Cochran and Dawn talked about being an outsider within their own tribe and she considered flipping tribes with Cochran.

When Te Tuna returned to camp, Ozzy, Jim, and Whitney ripped into Cochran over his betrayal. Cochran retreated to his new Upolu alliance. Coach asked Cochran who he would like voted out next and he responded, "Ozzy" because he was a threat at challenges or Jim on a personal level.
At the immunity challenge, Dawn, Whitney, Jim, and Sophie made it to the second round. In the second round, Jim beat out Sophie after Sophie gagged on the mouthful of coconut water that would have won the challenge. Back at camp, Jim came up with a plan to stir up Tribal Council by giving the Immunity Necklace to Ozzy and then making a rousing speech to get two of the Upolu tribe to vote against Cochran. When Tribal Council came, Jim and Ozzy made several rousing speeches, but Jim did not hand over the Immunity Necklace because Upolu threatened him before Tribal Council that if he gave his Immunity Necklace to Ozzy, he would be voted out.[30] This sealed Ozzy's fate and he was sent back to Redemption Island, with Dawn and Whitney voting with the Upolu alliance.

On day 25, Cochran tried to cozy up to Coach by joining him in a session of ta'i chi on the beach. Coach told Cochran that he would do everything he could to keep Cochran in the game longer than seventh place and that he was concerned that Albert might be plotting something.
At the Redemption Island duel between Keith, Ozzy, and Jim, after Jeff explained the rules of the competition, he announced that only one person would move on, and the two losers would become the first and second members of the jury. Jim faltered first and became the first member of the jury. Keith dropped out next to become the second jury member. On Redemption Island, Ozzy thought the situation of no stress and abundant food allowed him to recharge and be a bigger physical threat towards the end game. Over at Te Tuna, Cochran thought about trying to regain some of the trust he lost from Dawn and Whitney by helping them last further in the game.
At the immunity challenge, Sophie beat out Dawn and Brandon while the rest struggled. After Jeff awarded the Immunity Necklace, he said that there would be a twist at Tribal Council. Back at camp, Dawn and Whitney talked to Albert and Cochran about blindsiding one of the Upolu alliance. Albert considered blindsiding Edna which would curry favor from the former Savaii jury members. Albert told Cochran that he would be voted out seventh and his plan to blindside Edna. Albert also told Sophie about his plan as she would be the swing vote. Coach, however, became suspicious of Albert and decided that he needed to lay down the law, threatening that anybody who betrayed the Upolu alliance "would be dead". At Tribal Council, the Upolu alliance stayed intact and Dawn was sent to Redemption Island.

Fearing that the original Upolu tribe would turn on him now that the Savaii tribe was gone, Cochran made a plea to the core Upolu alliance of Albert, Brandon, Coach, Rick, and Sophie to keep him in the game for at least one more Tribal Council as he felt that they owed him for flipping over to their side and that it was his birthday in three days. After Cochran walked away, Albert and Coach felt that they did indeed owe him, but Sophie felt that she didn't owe him anything as she felt indebted to Edna as much as she was to Cochran.
At the Redemption Island duel, Ozzy beat out Dawn and Whitney, who became the third and fourth members of the jury. On day 29, the tribe became frustrated with Albert's laziness around camp. Edna asked Coach for advice on how to make it further than sixth place ahead of Cochran, but Coach was torn between staying loyal to the alliance of five or keeping Cochran and Edna in game as he knew they would never vote against him.

When Cochran arrived at Redemption Island, he felt insulted and used by the Upolu alliance. Ozzy asked for Cochran's vote at the Final Tribal Council, but Cochran would not commit to that as he felt insulted by the implication that he would lose at the Redemption Island duel. On day 31, Edna expressed her frustration with being treated as an outsider of the Upolu alliance. In the middle of Edna making a tearful plea to Coach to spare her from the next vote, Brandon rudely interrupted the conversation when he burst into camp, yelling that the tribe had received tree mail with a Sprint HTC Evo 3D. The phone contained video messages from the castaways' loved ones.
At the Redemption Island duel, Jeff took the phone back and announced that there was a twist to the duel, but that he would get to it later. While Cochran struggled during the grappling hook stage, he caught up during the labyrinth game and was just barely edged out by Ozzy. After Cochran departed the Redemption Island Arena, Jeff brought out all of the castaways' loved ones. Jeff then told Ozzy he had to choose one person to spend some time with their loved ones. Ozzy picked Albert and his mother. Jeff then told Ozzy to select another and he picked Coach and his brother. Jeff then said to pick one final person and he picked Brandon and his father. After Edna, Rick, and Sophie left the Arena, Jeff handed the phone back to Ozzy and told the seven that they would be spending their time at Redemption Island. During the visit, Coach took the opportunity to promise Ozzy that "as a Christian man" that they would go to the final three should he return to the game. Brandon's father tried to convince Brandon that he needed to play to win, not to always play with honor. Brandon's father then told Coach that Brandon would follow any orders Coach would give as long as he took Brandon to the final three, but Coach was annoyed at the attempted manipulation.
|"Then There Were Five"
|December 14, 2011
Determining that Sophie was becoming too dangerous to keep in the game, Albert decided to blindside Sophie at the next Tribal Council. Albert figured that Rick was the least dangerous and it would be to his advantage to go with him and Coach to the final Tribal Council.
At the Redemption Island duel, even though Edna received verbal assistance from the remaining castaways, Ozzy was able to continue his win streak at the duels. When Te Tuna returned to camp, Albert talked to Brandon about blindsiding Sophie. Meanwhile, Sophie told Coach and Rick that they had to send Brandon to Redemption Island as Brandon and Ozzy were the most dangerous players in the game. Albert approached Coach about voting against Sophie, but Coach figured that Albert was running scared. When Brandon interrupted Albert and Coach's conversation, Coach thought Brandon was bullying the two of them and became angry at Brandon. Coach felt that Brandon was acting like his uncle, Russell, and that he had to be voted off next. After Coach apologized for bringing up Russell, Brandon asked for reassurance that everything was okay.

When Te Tuna returned to camp, Coach ripped into Albert for what he perceived as jury politicking by Albert at Tribal Council.
In the final Redemption Island duel, after 40 minutes, the two castaways began to struggle to hang on, with Brandon finally sliding down to the bottom of the pole. With his sixth straight win, Ozzy re-entered the game. When the five returned to camp, Coach took Ozzy aside to tell him that he wanted to take him to the final three and would be willing to give Ozzy the hidden immunity idol if necessary. However, Ozzy was suspicious if Coach would really go through with the deal. Coach was unsure of whom to go with as all of the other castaways had told him that they wanted to go to the final three with them.
At the immunity challenge, during the middle of the challenge when Sophie was ahead of Ozzy, but had a partial collapse of her tower, she ordered Albert to drop his own efforts in order to help her pick up her dropped blocks. However, Jeff cut off the order by stating that the castaways could not receive any help from other castaways. Sophie never recovered, allowing Ozzy to beat out Coach to win Individual Immunity. When the tribe returned to camp, Coach wanted to vote out Rick as he thought Rick would be a threat for jury votes. Ozzy suggested to Albert to vote out Sophie. Rick also suggested to Coach that they vote for Sophie. At Tribal Council, Coach wore the hidden immunity idol around his neck, leaving the choices of votes to Albert, Rick, and Sophie. The three made their case to stay in the tribe in order to beat out Ozzy. Ozzy told everybody that Coach promised to take him to the final three. Ozzy and Sophie argued what they perceived as personal character attacks against each other. Sophie broke down and cried over the stress of the attacks against her character. After the votes were cast, Coach did not play the hidden immunity idol, and Rick was sent to the jury.
On day 38, Coach told Ozzy that he was upset that Ozzy let out his plan to go to the final three together as it was supposed to be a secret between the two of them. Coach thought he was being disrespected by Ozzy. Ozzy told Coach that his actions at Tribal Council were due to being burned earlier in the game by people he trusted and wasn't sure he could trust Coach. At the immunity challenge, Ozzy retrieved all of his puzzle pieces first, but struggled in getting the puzzle started. Once Sophie had the first piece of the puzzle locked in, she quickly caught up and passed Ozzy to win the final immunity challenge. With the loss, Ozzy knew that he was likely to be going home, but he made a pitch to Coach to force a tie at Tribal Council by appealing to Coach's desire to take warriors to the end. At Tribal Council, Coach was torn between staying loyal to his original alliance or allowing Ozzy to take on Albert in a fire starting challenge. In the end, Coach voted against Ozzy and he became the final member of the jury.Albert, Coach, and Sophie enjoyed the traditional day 39 breakfast. At the final Tribal Council, the jury ripped into the final three for actions or questioned their strategies in the game. Albert was criticized for sucking up to the jurors while they were still in the game, giving them false hope in an attempt to win their votes. Sophie was accused of being condescending and pretentious. Coach was blasted for going against his "honor and integrity" mantra, manipulating people's religion to his advantage, and hiding behind Christianity, while never owning up to his actions. In the end, the jury cast the majority vote (six) for Sophie, crowning her as the Sole Survivor. Coach was the runner-up with three votes, with Albert in a distant third, receiving no votes.

Genre: Dystopia, Post-Apocalyptic
Excerpt: Yes | Book Trailer: No
Reviewed by: Abigail | Source: Publisher
After a virus claimed nearly the entire global population, the world changed. The United States splintered into fifty walled cities where the surviving citizens clustered to start over. The Company, which ended the plague by bringing a life-saving vaccine back from the future, controls everything. They ration the scant food and supplies through a lottery system, mandate daily doses of virus suppressant, and even monitor future timelines to stop crimes before they can be committed.
Brilliant but autistic, sixteen-year-old Clover Donovan has always dreamed of studying at the Waverly-Stead Academy. Her brother and caretaker, West, has done everything in his power to make her dream a reality. But Clover's refusal to part with her beloved service dog denies her entry into the school. Instead, she is drafted into the Time Mariners, a team of Company operatives who travel through time to gather news about the future.
When one of Clover's missions reveals that West's life is in danger, the Donovans are shattered. To change West's fate, they'll have to take on the mysterious Company. But as its secrets are revealed, they realize that the Company's rule may not be as benevolent as it seems. In saving her brother, Clover will face a more powerful force than she ever imagined and will team up with a band of fellow misfits and outsiders to incite a revolution that will change their destinies forever.
VIRAL NATION is a startling dystopian featuring a protagonist with autism who travels through time. It's a tantalizing mix of Revolution and Minority Report with writing that makes you understand what it's like to share Clover's autism, and a story that sinks into your bones from the very first chilling page.
Creating unique characters in YA is becoming a harder and harder job for authors, but Shanta Grimes has done exactly that with Clover. It was utterly fascinating to slip into her head and experience the world the way she does, understand the uncontrollable tendencies that spring up when she's overwhelmed or anxious, and see the bluntness and missed social cues that all contribute to how real she felt.
Clover's brother West was no less interesting. He's had to be mother and father and therapist to Clover. Guardian and friend even at the expense of his own desires. It was so real watching him love her and want to shake her at the same time. The sibling relationship was every bit as authentic as it would have been without Clover's autism added to the mix, but her autism provides an extra layer of often uncomfortable reality to their situation.
And this world…it's really going to thrill fans of dystopian fiction. There is corruption and secrets and entire populations who have no idea what's really going on. It made reading VIRAL NATION an almost desperate experience because I could barely stand to see the way everything started to unfold. And that element of time travel never dominated the story or took it in a deep sci-fi direction, rather it was just a part of the world. VIRAL NATION is pretty thrilling and I can't wait for the sequel.

While much of the premise behind this novel doesn't seem spectacularly original, what caught my attention was the protagonist being autistic. I'm interested to see how that condition is portrayed, since in spite of increasing awareness, it doesn't seem to be something that's addressed very much in YA fiction. Or most fiction, to be honest. Maybe this will be something of a game-changer.
I have heard some really good things about this. THe only down side seems to be that people did not really like the time travel side of the book because it was two played down.
Great review!!

guys or girls.3 Reviews
When the guys are captured by sirens its all up to Theresa and Atlanta to save them. Who says girls can't fight? A/A,J/T
"I'm telling you Atlanta," barked a purple-haired teenage boy, "If the seven
heroes fighting against Cronus were all girls, the world would have been doomed
two weeks ago!"
Atlanta, the red-headed girl he was debating with replied, " Well Archie, if
the team was all guys you wouldn't have lasted three days after finding out you
were the descendent of a greek hero who is NOT afraid of water!"
Archie ignored the afraid-of-water remark, "Oh, then why do you suppose I'm
alive today then?"
Atlanta smirked, " 'cause I'm always there to save your butt, that's why!"
The leader of the two debating teens, Jay, who happened to be in the living
room where the arguement was taking place, looked over at his other teamate,
Theresa and they both rolled their eyes. This was ,what, the third arguement
those two have had this week.
Jay sighed. Everyone knew that Archie had a really big crush on Atlanta, but
she was waaayyyy too oblivious to his affections, and Archie never seemed to
summon up the courage to tell Atlanta how he felt, which is why those two
were arguing right now, instead of going to movie, or something.
Jay looked over at Theresa. Everyone knew it that Jay and Theresa liked
each other, but they were both too shy and always hoped the other would fess
up and ask.
Then Herry, Odie, and Neil came in.
" What are they bantering on about now?" complained Neil.
" Dunno," said Jay, "something about which gender better suits the
"Huh?" asked Herry, confused at Jay's choice of words.
"Whether girls or guys are better, Herry," Odie explained.
"Oh," said Herry.
Theresa sighed, " will someone tell them to knock it off already, it's
driving me insane!"

By MIKE KRAFCIK6 News Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Restaurants across the U.S. are considering an end to adding automatic gratuity charges on large groups of diners.
Starting in January, the Internal Revenue Service will begin classifying those automatic gratuities as service charges. The change will treat the charges as regular wages instead of tips, which restaurants leave up to the employees to report as income.
At Litton's Restaurant in North Knoxville, any party with more than eight people will pay an 18 percent gratuity.
"At the end of the shift, they always go and put down what their tips were. We're just trying to get everybody in the same standard as the federal government requires," said Litton's owner Barry Litton.
Litton says servers already count the tips they get as automatic gratuity as part of their income and not as tips.
For the past two years Shauna Pratt has worked as server at Litton's.
"I don't see it affecting us at all. I mean, we claim all of our tips every day. I don't think it's going to be a big change as far as we can go," Pratt said.
Jason Hamilton is a tax manager who has done work for restaurants like Ruby Tuesday.
He says the rule change is a way for the IRS to increase the amount it collects in payroll taxes. He does think the rule change will affect a lot of servers nationwide.
"Where I would see an issue with servers is not receiving the tips on a daily basis or a weekly basis, having them deferred until they actually get their paycheck," Hamilton said.
"As a server it makes you would have to completely re-budget everything you've done in the past, because you're used to taking everything home at night," said Justin Wright, a manager at Aubrey's Restaurants.
Aubrey's Restaurant eliminated the policy of servers automatically collecting tips on large parties years ago.
"If the server doesn't deserve that 18 percent gratuity, a lot of people don't' appreciate having to tip them 18 percent," Wright said.
With the new rule going into effect in January, more restaurants could decide to eliminate automatic gratuities for large parties.
"If restaurants want to do away with that because they're getting taxed on it, I don't think it's a good thing," said Knoxville resident J. Lewis.
Darden Restaurants, which includes chains like Olive Garden, Red Lobster and others, is already testing the end of automatic gratuities.
The test is underway at 100 restaurants in four cities, but Knoxville is not one of them.

Movie Madness: Halloweentown
In a place called Halloweentown, good and evil look very different than one might expect. Thanks to a visit from Grandmother Aggie (Debbie Reynolds), Marnie (Kimberly J. Brown) and her family's tradition of ignoring the Halloween holiday are about to change in the extreme. It seems that Marnie's mother Gwen (Judith Hoag) has been hiding a big secret from her three children--all of them possess supernatural powers. Now that it's Marnie's thirteenth birthday, she must begin her training as a witch or lose her powers forever. While Gwen wants nothing more than to see her children grow up as "normal" humans, Grandmother Aggie and Marnie have other ideas. A brewing crisis between good and evil in the alternate world Halloweentown soon pulls the entire family through a portal and into an intense battle against ghouls, goblins and the warlock Kalabar (Robin Thomas). This is good Disney Halloween fun with nice costuming and special effects, a wholesome message about the power of family, cooperation and perseverance, and ghouls that, though creepy looking, aren't likely to inspire nightmares in younger family members.

Album review: Green Day forgoes the political rock operas and lets loose on '¡Uno!'
"¡Uno!" plays as an exuberant, physical release after several years of Green Day's devotion to political punk-rock operas.
Despite being released as the first in a trilogy of albums, Green Day's ninth studio album offers no epic song suites whatsoever. Rather, the songs are lean and biting. Boiled down to power chords, breakneck tempos, snotty lyrics and probably some black electrical tape.
As a result "¡Uno!" makes itself much more effective than its predecessor, "21st Century Breakdown." The album opener "Nuclear Family" stands as a manifesto for the straightforward approach of the album, and takes certain explosive liberties with the idea of the nuclear family along the way. Only vague political overtones pop up throughout the album, which otherwise alludes to and often lampoons the more mundane aspects of modern society. Whether tackling lackluster pop culture or unpleasant blasts from the past encounters, Billie Joe Armstrong spits out something rude and poignant about it all.
Although not as humorous as the band's early material, the smart-ass and bratty lyrics Armstrong once perfected appear splattered all over and throughout each song. Combined with the hyperactive performance, Green Day sounds in prime form. Songs like "Let Yourself Go," "Carpe Diem" and "Loss of Control" all set the hectic pace of the album and pile-drive any notion of the group's past pretensions. This is Green Day having fun.
The band's 1997 album "Nimrod" may be a quick and easy comparison due to the inclusion of jumpy punk rockers, revamped oldies and an off-kilter song or two. Here, that off-kilter song takes the form of "Kill the DJ." In the vein of the Clash or maybe Franz Ferdinand (who opened for Green Day circa 2004) the indie-dance song is difficult to take too serious and impossible to dismiss, but stands out as a catchy and bizarre moment regardless. The closing numbers of the album, "Sweet 16," "Rusty James" and "Oh Love" each allow the hyper-romantic side of the band to poke its head out from the backseat of an old Chevy. "Rusty James" even revisits the bittersweet melody of "Scattered" from "Nimrod."
Despite its similarities to "Nimrod" make no mistake that the band returns to any prior '90s form. "¡Uno!" clearly etches yet another era in the 20-plus years of Green Day's career. Moments throughout the album suggest Cheap Trick or the Clash, but are in no way rehashed or ripped off. Rather they appear more a sum of the many different parts of Green Day. A refreshing and exciting listen, "¡Uno!" belongs in the collection of old and new fans alike.

SAD NEWS: Clouded Leopards Declared Extinct in Taiwan
After a century of rapid expansion throughout much of the wild parts of our world, we are beginning to better understand all of what was lost in the process.
For the last thirteen years, an international team of researchers have been searching out any indication that one of the world's most majestic animals, the Formosan clouded leopard, was still in existence its native forests of Taiwan. But now that countless in-the-field observation hours and thousands of infred cameras have turned up no sign of the rare species, scientists have arrived to a somber conclusion: clouded leopards there are extinct, and have likely been for decades.
"There is little chance that the clouded leopard still exists in Taiwan," says zoologist Chiang Po-jen in an interview with the Taipei Times.
Formosan clouded leopards, a subspecies of those found on mainland Asia, were once highly sought-after by poachers for their valuable skins. And despite the fact that the last reliable evidence of their continued existence is from a 1910 diary entry, biologists believed that the notoriously elusive animal might have avoided extinction in the years that followed, spurring the more-than-a-decade long study to find them.
And although not even a paw print was discovered over the intensive search, the story of that likely long-extinct leopard has still left an impression on Taiwanese society.
"A lot of people have said they are disappointed and find our discovery quite regrettable," Kurtis Pei, of the National Pingtung University of Science and Technology's Institute of Wildlife Conservation, tells the Christian Science Monitor. "Some say they hope not just to feel regret, but to do something to save other animals."
Presently, the same factors that contributed to leopard's decline — like poaching and human encroachment — continue to threaten other species as well. That said, with this recent declaration of extinction, Taiwanese society may be turning towards more active conservation, says Sean McCormack of the Taiwan SPCA:
"When the Taiwanese are aware of issues, they get behind them 100 percent."

The Lion Soaking: Lioness takes no chances as she carries nine-week-old cub across fast-flowing river
Her jaws clamped firmly around the scruff of her tiny cub's neck, this plucky lioness is taking no chances as she tackles a risky river crossing. As her nine-week-old youngster dangles beneath her, the mother skips gingerly between impromptu stepping stones. These stunning images capture the heart-stopping moment the lioness braved choppy waters, clasping her little one's nape, as she made her way to join the rest of the pride on the other side of the river. Amazingly, the cub escaped with only a sodden coat as its mother safely negotiated the fast-flowing waters of the Ntiakitiak River in Kenya's Masai Mara game reserve. Greek photographer Kyriakos Kaziras managed to capture the moment during a trip in December. Paul Goldstein, another photographer and owner of Kicheche Bush Camp, where Mr Kaziras was based, said: "Kyriakos and his guide had spent early morning with the large Enkoyanai pride. There had been plenty of rain and the Ntiakitiak River, normally a trickle, was a swollen torrent. The bulk of the pride were on the east bank and the mother had to take the momentous decision to carry her nine-week-old cub to join them. The risks of such a journey were very real, particularly as the cub was at least a month older than normal 'carrying age'. I have photographed lions carrying cubs and seen them crossing rivers, but the combination is unique and has never been seen, let alone recorded."

The views of ex-Everton and Chelsea winger Pat Nevin ahead of the final.
Pat Nevin knows what it's like to run out for Everton in an FA Cup final.
He knows what it feels like to get them there. He also knows what it feels like to walk away empty handed.
Joining Everton from Saturday's FA Cup final opponents Chelsea in July 1988, Nevin scored the only goal of a semi-final meeting with Norwich just nine months later to book a final trip which ultimately ended in defeat to Liverpool.
With the Blues set for another Cup final appearance 20 years on, evertonTV caught up with the Scot to discuss Everton's season, the road to Wembley and his admiration for Marouane Fellaini.
How do you assess Everton's season?
It's been quite phenomenal for Everton - a wonderful season. I've seen a great deal of the side this season, starting in the Uefa Cup. It was disappointing they went out how they did [in the first round against Standard Liege] because it was a competition Everton were capable of winning and I think David Moyes felt that as well. They had a few injuries, the team hadn't quite gelled and they just didn't have the strength in depth at that time.
But they've more than made up for it since...
I don't think you could ask any more than what Everton have done in the league this season. It's more than an icing on the cake to get to an FA Cup final too.
And they've had to get there the hard way...
It doesn't often happen that you play so many top teams. Usually you sneak your way through a couple of rounds but it's been the big ones. I do go back to the semi-final against Manchester United and people will have a bit of a disrespect for it because it wasn't their first-team but you have to beat everything that's put in front of you.
What did you make of the semi-final?
I was there and I've been to Wembley a few times but I don't think I've heard a bigger noise. The noise was extraordinary from Everton fans. I remember thinking - and I was desperate for Everton to win - that if it was to be a Chelsea-Everton final the noise is going to be out of this world.
We know you're a fan of Marouane Fellaini...
I'm a big fan of Fellaini. He can be a fantastic player and a big part of Everton's game on semi-final day was to get balls up to him and get Tim Cahill and co running on to it. But every time the ball was lumped up in the air anywhere close to him, the referee just blew for a free kick. It really stopped a good part of Everton's game plan that day.
But you didn't always rate him...
Maybe my ignorance, as much as anything, was the problem with Fellaini early on. Like a lot of Everton fans, we saw him at the start and weren't too sure what David Moyes had seen. But all hail Mr Moyes, he knew what he was doing and Fellaini's been phenomenal - and he's clearly only going to get better.
When did your opinion change?
One day made me realise he was getting better and better. It was the Manchester United game at Goodison. It was a bad first half for Everton in which Manchester United played well. But David Moyes obviously said the right things and Fellaini came out and bullied Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic for 45 minutes after the break. Nobody does that. In the future, as the bits of his game get added together like a jigsaw, as they will do, he will become very special.evertonTV subscribers can see our exclusive interview with former Everton and Chelsea star Pat Nevin now.

Uhg I don't even know if I should be showing this but oh well I guess I am showing it! What a surprise!
And recently I've been reading Blake & Mortimer, and Tintin, (obviously, Land of Black Gold!). Good good stuff. B&M is a tad bit cheesy, but looks great though.
it's a "horror comic"
this is the title and my favorite panel & best dialogue I've ever written.
I was really happy when I drew this city today. Just sayin. (PS! its going to be on the cover of this short story collection we are putting together for CRACK! festival in rome this weekend. See you there if you're there!
A person at work was wondering what I was working on and I noticed that I have barely posted any recent "previews" of this comic I'm working on. The first "issue" is almost done! it's maybe around 30 pages total.. Anyways.
Wow! Four pages in four hours. It's as bad as it sounds!
one frame preview from my silly girl power comic that i'll be done with in a few weeks! promise! girls are so cool when they are strong and cute at the same time!
fist of the north star "fanfic" lolololol. some garbage I drew before going to sleep last night.. warming down… also. most ppl think FOTN is japanese, but after studying the art I think that it's actually CHIN-ese.
s w i m m i n g is the best part about summer…. maybe. Also, I shouldn't be posting so many pictures from a work in progress but i dunno the rules about stuff like that so yeah.
I turned the whole comic into black and white so I can cheaply photocopy the hell out of this thing for upcoming spx. Also working on a "directors cut/commentary" to go along with it. It's gonna be pretty cool shit.
Also noticed the most recent two whole pages in this blog have almost been only about this same comic? … that's alright though isn't it? I mean, I'm doing other stuff, I just want to be a bit secret about it and post it all when it's finished or something. OKAY BYEE!!!

FOX 8 received this news release from the New Orleans Police Department Wednesday afternoon:
Yesterday, NOPD detectives arrested 20-year-old Marvin Davis in the 7000 block of Bullard Avenue in New Orleans East. Davis was arrested at the business he held up early Tuesday morning.
On Tuesday, February 12, 2013, at 5:03am, a masked man walked into the store and leaped across the counter and demanded money from the cashier. The cashier complied with the masked gunman's demands at which time the cashier handed over $4000 in cash and two bottles of "Ace of Spades" champagne valued at $1000. During the robbery, the mask fell off of the suspect's face and the store's employee immediately recognized the suspect as one of the regular customers. The man later identified as Marvin Davis came back to the store around 9:40am to make a purchase when the store employee immediately called the police. Officers were already in the area and heard the call come out over the NOPD police radio and officers responded to the incident and arrested Davis without incident.
Detectives Debra Normand and Perrin Gaines obtained a search warrant for Davis's residence located in the 12000 block of I10 Service Road, which is a short distance from the store. The search recovered the two bottles of champagne, the pistol, money and the clothing he wore to commit the robbery.
Davis had no prior adult arrest record.
Davis is currently being held at Central Lockup for one count of Armed Robbery with a Gun.
Daniele Watts said she was detained by police on Thursday because they thought she was a prostitute.

Another one of my Conqueror Typographic Games Posters. I have gone with the same theme of Usain Bolt and overlayed the Jamaican flag on his face as he is an inspirational person to a lot of people not only up and coming athletes but people in all walks of life.
I kept the background white as I felt it was a neutral background that wouldn't take away from the colours of the flag and the words (font - Trajan Pro) 'It's not what you win but how you conquer it"
