Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Featuring the brilliantly drawn Roxanna, a mulatto slave who suffers dire consequences after switching her infant son with her master's baby, and the clever Pudd nhead Wilson, an ostracized small-town lawyer, Twain's darkly comic masterpiece is a provocative exploration of slavery and miscegenation. Leslie A. Fiedler described the novel as half melodramatic detective story, half bleak tragedy, noting that morally, it is one of the most honest books in our literature. "Those Extraordinary Twins," the slapstick story that evolved into Pudd nhead Wilson, provides a fascinating view of the author's process.
The text for this Modern Library Paperback Classic was set from the 1894 first American edition.
About the Author
Shelley Fisher Fishkin is Joseph S. Atha Professor of Humanities, Professor of English and Director of American Studies at Stanford University. She is the author of "Lighting Out for the Territory: Reflections on Mark Twain and American Culture "(1997); "Was Huck Black? Mark Twain and African-American Voices "(1993), selected as an Outstanding Academic Book by "Choice; "and "From Fact to Fiction: Journalism and Imaginative Writing in America "(2000), winner of a Frank Luther Mott/Kappa Tau Alpha Award for outstanding research in journalism history. She is also the editor of the 29-volume "Oxford Mark Twain "and the "Oxford Historical Guide to Mark Twain. "Barry Moser is one of the foremost wood engravers in the United States and is the proprietor of the Pennyroyal Press.

The Mark Twain Project is housed within the Mark Twain Papers, the world's largest archive of primary materials by this major American writer. Under the direction of General Editor Robert H. Hirst, the Project's five editors are producing the first comprehensive edition of all Mark Twain's writings, more than thirty volumes of which have so far been published by the University of California Press.
Ron Powers, a Pulitzer Prize-winning and Emmy Award-winning writer and critic, has studied and written about Mark Twain for many years. He is the author of ten books, including "Dangerous Water: A Biography of the Boy Who Became Mark Twain, " and the coauthor of two, including the #1 "New York Times" bestseller "Flags of Our Fathers." He lives in Middlebury, Vermont.

"Mark Twain, in his presentation of Negroes as human beings, stands head and shoulders above the other Southern writers of his times."—Langston Hughes

Your objective ought to be to pick the best criminal guard lawyer you can manage. In the event that you come up short on, hope to get what you pay for.
Run No. 1: Speak with Someone Who's Been in a Similar Situation.
On the off chance that somebody you trust has been blamed for a wrongdoing, ask who the attorney was. Did the legal counselor get a decent result? Did the legal advisor completely clarify the law? Did the legal counselor persistently answer questions? Did the legal counselor speedily return telephone calls? Did the legal counselor attempt to drive a request down your companion's throat, or did the attorney regard your companion's wishes?
On the off chance that your companion energetically prescribes somebody, plan an interview immediately.
Control No. 2: Hire Experience.
You don't need your legal advisor to be learning at work. Contract a legal counselor who's done a considerable measure of criminal trials.
Try not to employ your land legal advisor to shield you against strike charges. (Also, don't procure your criminal attorney to offer your home.) Hire a legal advisor who has a ton of experience shielding individuals who are blamed for unlawful acts. Great pick would be drug defense attorney boise if you are in need of legal help.
Govern No. 3: Run Away from Lawyers Who Guarantee Results.
No attorney can promise an exoneration. A legal advisor who lets you know generally is lying. Runaway: that legal advisor is just intrigued by your cash. Counsel the following legal counselor on your rundown.
Administer No. 4: Don't Hunt for Bargains.
Battling criminal allegations is one of the best difficulties you will ever confront.
In case you're accused of a straightforward offense that won't be going to trial, your attorney's charge no doubt will be inside of your methods. Be that as it may, in case you're blamed for a lawful offense, the expense will be more prominent. On the off chance that your case will be going to trial, the expense will be more prominent still; more noteworthy for a crime trial than for an offense trial; and more noteworthy for a class B or C lawful offense than for a class D or E lawful offense.
Remember that whatever expense one legal advisor offers, you will have the capacity to locate a second legal counselor who will charge you less, and a third legal advisor who will charge you not exactly the second. In the end, you may locate a legal counselor who will shield you for a pack of biting gum.
Control No. 5: If You Can't Afford to Hire a Lawyer, Work with Your Court-Appointed Lawyer.
On the off chance that you can't bear the cost of a legal advisor, the Court will appoint a legal advisor to speak to you. Try not to accept your legal counselor's awful in light of the fact that you by and by are not paying the attorney. In each criminal courthouse, a portion of the absolute best legal advisors works for Legal Aid, for other non-benefit protector associations, and for the Assigned Counsel Plan.

Interview Difficulty
- Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Professional HealthCare at Home (Vacaville, CA) in January 2013.
Was interviewed by the regional manager, area manager and branch manager. Just general questions were asked. Pretty generic. It was not disclosed that there would be a company phone and that I was to be on call during the weekends (since I was the only staffing manager at the branch at that point) and before and after work hours.
Interview Questions
- It was not a question, but more like a statement on the past problems they had with the branch manager who I was to report to. 1 Answer
No negotiation although I asked if we could revisit the salary after 90 days. Area manager said "We'll see". Never mentioned that there was a salary freeze and no matching 401K.

Got my heart smashed again rooting for the Bears. So what it's just pre-season – I'm also a diehard Cubs fan, and baseball has been over for me since late May. Bought a subscription to Netflix and watching movies on my laptop. Sometimes, technology is wonderful!

Comcast….arghhhh. I didn't even call them, just used the time to get some other stuff done and the next morning I power cycled everything and it worked. I'm sure they will deduct that day from my bill, what do you think?

Who The Hell Am I!
I'm a liberal that is extreme in some ways and not in others. I support President Obama and make no apologies for it. I think he has done a phenomenal job, especially when you consider that he inherited a huge mess and has faced unprecedented opposition from a lazy & desperate Republican Party. I'm a film producer/director/editor, adjunct professor, technician, media critic and photographer when I'm not reading left wing blogs and typing on this one. – On Twitter @ExtremeLiberal or Email at liberalforreal (at) gmail.com

Compared to the year-ago week (w/o 12/5/11 – 4.868 million and 1.864 million, respectively) "GMA" grew in both Total Viewers (+3%) and Adults 25-54 (+2%). In fact, the ABC morning newscast has seen increases over the same week last year in 10 of 10 weeks this season in Total Viewers and in 9 of 10 weeks in Adults 25-54. Further, "GMA" was the only morning program to improve year to year in either demo, as both "CBS This Morning" (-10%/-13%) and NBC's "Today Show" (-17%/-23%) each turned in double-digit losses.
"GMA" aired the week's most-watched morning telecast on Friday (5.316 million on 12/7/12).
Season to date, "GMA" stands as the No. 1 morning news program in both Total Viewers and Adults 25-54. In fact, "GMA" is leading "Today" by its largest season margin in overall viewers (+527,000) in more than 21 years, and in the key adult news demo (+110,000) in 21 years – since at least the 1991-92 season and since the 1991-92 season, respectively; Nielsen's electronic database started on September of 1991.
Season to date "GMA" is up in both Total Viewers (+5%) and Adults 25-54 (+3%) versus its year-ago averages, growing the most year to year in Total Viewers and standing as the only morning newscast to grow in the key adult news demo (NBC's "Today" is down -16%/-23%, respectively; CBS' "This Morning" is mixed +4%/-4%, respectively). "GMA" is seeing its largest overall season audience in 7 years and best Adult 25-54 performance in 5 years – since the 2005-06 and 2007-08 seasons, respectively.
"GMA" more than doubled the performance of "CBS This Morning" in Total Viewers (+102%) and nearly doubled it in Adults 25-54 (+99%).

Natasha: The Biography of Natalie Woodby Suzanne Finstad

Natalie Wood was always a star; her mother made sure this was true. A superstitious Russian immigrant who claimed to be royalty, Maria had been told by a gypsy, long before little Natasha Zakharenko's birth, that her second child would be famous throughout the world. When the beautiful child with the hypnotic eyes was first placed in Maria's arms, she knew the prophecy would become true and proceeded to do everything in her power — everything — to make sure of it.
Natasha is the haunting story of a vulnerable and talented actress whom many of us felt we knew. We watched her mature on the movie screen before our eyes — in Miracle on 34th Street, Rebel Without a Cause, West Side Story, Splendor in the Grass, and on and on. She has been hailed — along with Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor — as one of the top three female movie stars in the history of film, making her a legend in her own lifetime and beyond. But the story of what Natalie endured, of what her life was like when the doors of the soundstages closed, has long been obscured.
Natasha is based on years of exhaustive research into Natalie's turbulent life and mysterious drowning in the dark water that was her greatest fear. Author Suzanne Finstad, a former lawyer, conducted nearly four hundred interviews with Natalie's family, close friends, legendary costars, lovers, film crews, and virtually everyone connected with the investigation of her strange death. Through these firsthand accounts from many who have never spoken publicly before, Finstad has reconstructed a life of emotional abuse and exploitation, of almost unprecedented fame, great loneliness, poignancy, and loss. She shedsan unwavering light on Natalie's complex relationships with James Dean, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Raymond Burr, Warren Beatty, and Robert Wagner and reveals the two lost loves of Natalie's life, whom her controlling mother prevented her from marrying. Finstad tells this beauty's heartbreaking story with sensitivity and grace, revealing a complex and conflicting mix of fragility and strength in a woman who was swept along by forces few could have resisted. Natasha is impossible to put down — it is the definitive biography of Natalie Wood that we've long been waiting for.

Read an Excerpt
"NATALIE WOOD" NEVER REALLY EXISTED. The actress with that name was a fictional creation of her mother, a disturbed genius known by various first names, usually Maria. How Natalie was discovered, why she went into show business as a child, her background, were all part of a tapestry of lies woven by Maria that began before Natalie was even born. "God created her, but I invented her," her mother said once, after Natalie's body was discovered floating in the dark waters off Catalina Island the Sunday after Thanksgiving of 1981, when she was just forty-three. Natalie Wood, the celebrity, was an entwined alter ego of mother and daughter so powerfully macabre her drowning had been predicted by a gypsy, years before, to happen to Maria, not Natalie. The person inside the illusion of "Natalie Wood" was lost for years, even to herself.
Natalia Nikolaevna Zakharenko, the real name of the actress known as Natalie Wood, was a child of Russia, once removed. Exactly where in Russia we may never know, for her mother, the source of the family history, was an unreliable witness, a feverishly imaginative woman who lived in a world of her own invention, only occasionally punctuated by the truth. Maria's friends characterized this as colorful; others considered her devious; her youngest child eventually concluded she was a pathological liar. There was intrigue to Maria no biographer could fully unravel. She would have three daughters-Olga, Natalia, and Svetlana-three sisters, as in the Chekhov play. For Maria, there was only and ever Natalia. Her consuming obsession with Natasha, Natalia's pet name, was the one thing no one questioned about Maria.
The rest of her life was a masquerade, with Maria assuming different disguises.
Natalie Wood's mother came into the world somewhere in Siberia. It was most likely the town of Barnaul, as her oldest child, Olga, believed and ship's records document, though she told a different daughter and a biographer that she was born in Tomsk. They are both close to Russia's border with Mongolia, near the Altai Mountains. Maria's early years were spent in this nethermost, Russian-Asian region of the more than four and a half million square miles known as Siberia, famous for its bitterly cold winters, romanticized for its forests primeval, and considered the ends of the earth.
Maria claimed, throughout her life, to have grown up in fantastical luxury on a palatial Siberian estate with a Chinese cook, three governesses, and a "nyanka" (nanny) per child. But her most cherished belief, or delusion, was that she was related, through her mother, to the Romanovs, Russia's royal family. Her stories-whether true or not, and most who heard them questioned their veracity-"kept you spellbound," according to a young actor who befriended Maria in the 1980s, after Natalie drowned. "She herself was quite the actress. She spoke in a very dramatic whisper, so you had to lean in, and pay close attention. She used her hands as she would describe in great detail her genealogy from Russia. She would whisper, 'We were descended from royalty . . .' and you would just hang on every word."
What is known of Maria's family is that her father, Stepan Zudilov, was married twice. He had four children-two boys, Mikhael and Semen, and two girls, Apollinaria (called Lilia) and Kallisfenia (or Kalia) – by his first wife, Anna. Anna died in childbirth with Kalia in 1905 in Barnaul, where the Zudilovs resided. Stepan took a second bride, who would likewise bear him two sons and two daughters in reverse order: a girl, Zoia, born in 1907, followed by Maria, then Boris and Gleb. Stepan Zudilov's youngest daughter, Maria Stepanovna Zudilova, would become the mother of Natalie Wood.
According to Maria, her mother (also named Maria) was "close relations" to the Romanov family. It is believed her maiden name was Kulev. Whether she was an aristocrat is unknown. Kalia, Stepan's younger daughter by his first wife and the only Zudilov child other than Maria to immigrate to the United States, would later tell her children, "Somebody in the line was a countess." But as a Russian historian notes sardonically, "Everyone from Russia wants to be related to the Romanovs."
If Natalie Wood's grandmother had royal blood, her mother undermined her own credibility by the thousand-and-one variations on her lineage she offered, Scheherazade-style. "One story was that her parents took her to China when she was a little girl and she became a Chinese princess through some mysterious circumstances that were never explained," recalls a Hollywood friend. Another version that surfaced in studio biographies after Natalie became a child actress identified Maria as "being of French extraction." According to her eldest daughter, Olga, this was a prank on Maria's part. "When they would ask her if she's French, she'd say, 'Oh, yes . . .' She knew how to speak French, because she probably had French nannies." Even this was based solely on Maria's word, for Olga never heard her mother actually speak a word of French (nor did Maria's half-sister Kalia speak it). Maria's white lie sustained itself all the way to a 1983 television tribute to Natalie Wood, during which Orson Welles, her first costar, refers to Natalie being "not just of Russian but also of French descent." Maria, in the opinion of her daughter Lana (Americanized from Svetlana), was "frightening" in her ability to bend reality and convince others it was true, "because she did believe everything that came out of her mouth."
Maria told Lana that she was born to gypsy parents who left her on a hillside, where the Zudilovs found her and raised her as their own. "I heard that story my entire life." Maria would laugh about it with friends after Natalie became famous, muttering, in her heavy Slavic whisper, "They used to call me 'The Gypsy!' " She could easily create that impression as an adult, with her raven hair, magical tales and musical accent. "I could almost see her," remarked a Hollywood writer who spent hours with Maria, "waylaying me on a street with a bunch of heather, saying, 'Buy this or you'll be cursed for life.' "
The idea that Maria was the displaced child of gypsies is "hogwash" in the pronouncement of her closest traceable living relation – Kalia's son Constantine. No one in the family, including Lana, took this tale seriously. It originated, Maria's daughter Olga believes, as gossip among the family servants, for Maria was born, she told Olga, at the Zudilovs' "dacha," a country cottage, in the mountains. "And when my grandmother came back she had my mother, so the servants used to tell her, 'You were born by gypsies,' because she wasn't born right there where they could see her."
One clue exists to help decipher Maria's past. It is a photograph of the Zudilov family, retained separately by both Maria and Kalia, taken somewhere in Russia circa March 1919, according to the handwritten description. Maria's family, judged by their portrait, appears to be of means. They are dressed ˆ la mode, the girls in shirtwaists and sailor dresses, posed regally, projecting a patrician mien. Stepan Zudilov, Natalie Wood's maternal grandfather, sits on a chair to the far left of the photograph, a stout but stately figure with a sweeping moustache, in a well-tailored three-piece woolen suit. At the center of the portrait, also seated, is his second wife, Maria, the putative Romanov. Maria evokes a gentle womanliness. She is possessed of a round face with soft features, girlishly pretty; her dark hair, contrasted by fair skin, is styled in marcelled waves. What distinguishes her as the grandmother of Natalie Wood are her liquid brown eyes: they hold the camera with their tender, slightly sad gaze.
Stepan and Maria occupy the front row with their four children – Natalie's mother, Maria, staring brazenly into the camera's eye; thirteen-year-old Zoia; and the two boys, Boris and Gleb, six and four, seated side-by-side in identical Lord Fauntleroy suits. (Maria would later bizarrely refer to them as "twins.") Standing behind Stepan's second family are his four grown children by his first wife, Anna; including Kalia, the corroborating witness to the family history. Anna's offspring are swarthier, with sharper features than Stepan's children by Natalie's grandmother. Everyone has captivating eyes.
The picture helps to solve the riddle of Maria's true age, which would become the subject of whispered speculation once she came to Hollywood. From the time she was twenty or so, she gave her date of birth as February 8, 1912. On the back of the 1919 family photo, she is identified as "11 years, 1 month," which would mean she was born in 1908-the same year recorded in the ship's log when she immigrated to America. Both Maria and Kalia, Kalia's son cheerfully admits, "lied about their age."
The photograph of Maria's family, ironically, bears a resemblance to the romantic images of Russia's Tsar Nicholas II and his wife, Alexandra, in formal portraits with their children, taken in the last days of the Romanov monarchy. Maria kept this family photo beside a framed portrait of the Romanovs in similar pose, to the day she died, prizing them as jewels. Aside from Natalie, her link to Russian aristocracy is what defined Maria to herself, true or false, for as one companion remarked, "She believed every word of it. That's the mark of a good actress."
Musia or Marusia, as young Maria was affectionately called, was pampered from the time she was born because of her diminutive size. One of her stories was that she weighed only two pounds at birth, nearly dying. In the family portrait, she is nestled into her mother, cradling her to her breast as Marusia peers out with the smug self-possession of the favored child. She has an elfin quality, her dark hair pixie-short, with penetrating, bird-like eyes she compared to her father's as green, her daughter Olga describes as a changeable gray-blue, and those who considered her malevolent called "black and beady." Her expression, even at eleven, suggests cunning. She was a mischievous girl. Her German nanny was fired for making Musia kneel; she learned to swear in Chinese from the cook. When she did so in front of her father, it was the cook-not Musia-who "got a talking." The young Marusia adored jewelry (a bold bracelet leaps out from her tiny wrist in the family photo). She collected pictures and books depicting the royal family "because I worship them," she would say later, "almost like a god."
Kalia, Marusia's older half-sister, supported her grandiose accounts of governesses and fur coats and seamstresses for their dolls, though Kalia identified the origin of the family's wealth as a factory that produced vodka and textiles, while Maria said their father manufactured candles, ink and candy.? Kalia was not heard to repeat Maria's boast that the town where they kept their dacha was named after Natalie's grandfather. ("Because he was such a generous man. If a peasant is nice and he likes him, he'll give him house, he gives him horse, he gives him land.") According to Maria, her parents' marriage was arranged to merge Stepan Zudilov's fortune with Maria Zuleva's name. Neither Kalia nor Maria, once in America, had photos of the family's estate, or their dacha, to authenticate living such rarefied childhoods, though according to Kalia's son, they behaved like it. "Didn't cook, didn't clean, had other people do that."
This idyll, if it existed, came to a tragic end around 1919. A civil war erupted in Petrograd two years before, forcing Tsar Nicholas II to abdicate. Bolshevik workers seized the Winter Palace by October, naming Communist Vladimir Lenin as their leader. The summer of 1918, the Bolsheviks murdered Nicholas, his wife, Alexandra, and their five young children, Grand Duke Alexei and the grand duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and presumably Anastasia.
Natalie's grandparents kept an uneasy vigil at their home in Barnaul as the Bolshevik Revolution made its way toward Siberia. Sometime after March of 1919, the date they sat for their portrait, they were warned the Bolsheviks were coming. "They told us, 'Run!' " said Maria, "because of Mother, the whole family would have been killed. They were killing aristocrats." They left so quickly, she recalled, there was no time to find her favorite brother, Semen.
The Zudilovs, dressed as peasants, crossed the border into Manchuria, where they stayed a few days per Maria, a year by Kalia's version. "Then the Czechs came and chased the Communists away," Maria recounted, "so we came back."
Marusia and her family returned to Barnaul to find Semen hanging from the archway of their front door, a rope around his neck. Ten-year-old Marusia went into violent convulsions. "I was so little and I loved him so much-he was such a nice half-brother. When I saw him hanging there, with the tongue and everything, I start to have convulsions, starting with the neck, then with leg and hands, and then I just drop." The episode, a family legend, permanently affected Natalie's mother's nerves, leaving her subject to "the fits," she called it, damaging her psyche in ways unknowable.
Marusia and her family remained in Siberia until the Bolshevik Revolution reached their door, when they fled for China, "because the Reds were killing everybody." She and Kalia would provide essentially the same drama of the family's escape: how they packed what jewels and belongings they could onto a train their father bought from the Chinese. According to Maria, Natalie's grandfather buried "jewels and money and gold" worth "millions" in a waterproof box with a map of its location provided to everyone in the family "except me. I was young, they didn't give me the plan." A similar story surfaced from Kalia, though never, notably, the "plan." Whether the tale of their escape and the buried family treasure is true remains cryptic. "The problem with stories from Russians," one historian of the era observes, "is that they're all probable."
According to Natalie's mother, her parents changed everyone's names because they were afraid Communists would find them, exacting a promise from each child never to reveal the family's true identity – a reaction a Russian émigré friend considered extreme to the point of "demented." "Stepan Zudilov" is identified as Kalia's father on her 1905 birth certificate, before the alleged name change, and "Maria Kuleva" is the name documented as Marusia's mother on family possessions prior to the Revolution. These are also the names Natalie's mother would use to identify her parents on legal records once in the U.S., leaving little room for doubt that Natalie's grandparents were born Stepan Zudilov and Maria Kuleva; though Olga, Natalie's older sis?ter, still expresses uncertainty those are their true names, "or if they changed them when they ran." Olga and Natalie's mother remained haunted all her life by the fear that Communists would come after her and "kill me like killed my brother."
Once in Manchuria, little Marusia and her family stayed at a hotel in Qiqihar, where Natalie's mother had the first of several alleged mystical expe?riences. As Maria later told the story, she "recognized" a house near their hotel as one she had lived in, remembering an outdoor playhouse and the ceiling of her bedroom, with "angels" on it. Her parents took her to the house, afraid she would have another seizure if they refused. Upstairs was a room with cheru?bim painted on the ceiling; in the backyard, concealed by spiders' webs, Marusia found a decaying playhouse. Natalie's mother believed in reincarna?tion ever after, despite the opposite position of the Russian Orthodox religion in which she was baptized, and to which she and her parents adhered. ("How can you explain that?" she would ask. "There was my angels!")
Natalie's grandparents settled in nearby Harbin, China, where so many Russians had fled, neighborhoods appeared to have been lifted out of Siberia. The family lived in such an enclave, in a "good" part of town. Stepan, Natalie's grandfather, is presumed to have managed a soap factory. Natalie's mother, Marusia, attended an all-Russian girls' school, though Marusia's eye was on "pretty young boys." She went to church so she could "look at the boys, and look at what the girls are wearing – is my dress better than theirs?" Marusia had thick, naturally curly, crow-black hair and was preternaturally tiny – just five feet – "But she carried herself as if she were seven foot tall," an acquaintance from Maria's senior years. "She liked to talk about how she had been a great dancer, and how she had been a great beauty." Natalie's studio press releases would later describe her mother as a "professional ballerina" in China. "That was made up," admits daughter Olga. Teenage Marusia took one ballet class in Harbin. "For grace," she put it later, claiming her parents withdrew her, believing dancers and performers fell into a category with "prostitutes."
Marusia and her sisters placed absolute faith in Russian superstitions and "did gypsy stuff" using Romany magic, such as "looking in the mirror on a certain night between two candles and you can see the person you're supposed to marry." One day, the sisters had their fortunes read by a Harbin gypsy. The fortune teller warned Marusia to "beware of dark water," for she was going to drown. The gypsy also predicted her second child "would be a great beauty, known throughout the world." Natalie Wood's life, and death, would be dictated by the gypsy's twin prophecies.
The fortuneteller's predictions held an immediate power over Natalie's mother. She refused to go near water, "especially if it's dark waters."

The hotel is about as close to the beach as you can get without being directly on the sand. You have to like the active crowds and boardwalk scene to stay here since there is near constant activity surrounding the hotel. We had a family suite that accommodated 5 people pretty well. The buffet breakfast was good and very affordable. The hotel also supplies free drinks and snacks throughout the day. A washer and dryer are on site for laundry. Parking is self parking in a safe, gated garage for just $20 per day. All in all a good experience and would go back.

BATON ROUGE LSU's Sibel Bargu, along with her former graduate student Ana Garcia, from the Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences in LSU's School of the Coast & Environment, has discovered toxic algae in vast, remote regions of the open ocean for the first time. The recent findings were published in the Nov. 8 edition of one of the most prestigious scientific journals, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, or PNAS.
Harmful algal blooms, or HABs, are reported as increasing both geographically and in frequency along populated coastlines. Bargu's research shows that the ubiquitous diatom Pseudo-nitzschia an alga that produces the neurotoxin, domoic acid, or DA, in coastal regions actually also produces DA at many locations in the open Pacific. The presence of these potent toxins in deep water environments is worrisome, given that in coastal waters, where the phenomenon has been studied, DA can enter the food chain, forcing the closure of some fisheries and poisoning marine mammals and birds that feed on the contaminated fish. The main concern, though, is that the adding of iron to ocean waters one of the most commonly proposed strategies to reduce global warming appears now to likely result in promoting toxic blooms in the ocean.
Because both natural and artificial iron additions in open ocean waters can result in phytoplankton blooms in large areas of the sea that are deficient in the metal, and also because phytoplankton take up carbon dioxide and iron in addition to seawater, it has been suggested as a remedy to combat global warming. Basically, the new growth of photosynthetic cells draws carbon dioxide into the sea, reducing the amount of this gas in the atmosphere and thus reducing its warming effect. However, Pseudo-nitzschia-like cells have been known for a while to be common responders in a number of iron fertilization experiments conducted at sea over more than a decade.

Coming Soon: Beatallica's Second
Between them, The Beatles and Metallica have probably sold something like 5% of all records ever manufactered. So I was pretty excited to hear the sophomore record from Beatles/Metallica mashup band, Beatallica. The Masterful Mystery Tour, slated for release August 2, takes it's name from Metallica's 1986 release, Master of Puppets and The Beatles' 1967 Magical Mystery Tour. It features such tunes as: "Everybody's Got a Ticket to Ride Except for Me and My Lightning," "I Want to Choke Your Band," "Hero of the Day Tripper," and "The Thing that Should Not Let it Be."
And it's not just the albums and song titles that combine the revolutionary Fab Four and the Gods of Metal. Every band member has a stage name. There's Jaymz Lennfield on vocals and rhythm guitar, Grg Hammeston on lead guitar, Kliff McBurtney on bass and (the coolest sounding but far less creative) Ringo Larz on drums.
The music combines metal-ized Beatles melodies and Metallica riffs with a dash of Beatles lyrics and a pinch of Metallica words.
Yes, it's somewhat cheesy, but that doesn't stop the album from also being really fun. Even Metallica themselves have been identified as fans.
In fact, back in 2005, when Beatallica was suffering legal problems at the hands of Sony, the rights holder to much of the Beatles catalog, Lars Ulrich got Metallica's lawyer to represent the band. Two years later, Beatallica released their debut effort, Sgt. Hetfield's Motorbreath Pub Band:
On The Masterful Mystery Tour, Jaymz Lennfield has no problem emulating Metallica's James Hetfield's raspy, worked vocals, and the rest of the band shift between the two polar opposites of rock with ease.
The album's title track is the perfect example of this: "Blow uuuuuup! Blow up for the mystery tour! The Masterful Mystery Tour blinds you when you can't see a thing. Call my name and I'll hear you screaaam- MASTER. MASTER."
All 12 tracks on this realese follow that same formula, but it doesn't get tired or stale. The reason being is that if you happen to be a fan, neither The Beatles nor Metallica have gotten tired or stale, so neither does Beatallica.
This album is great for Metallica fans and Beatles fans alike, but is perfect for that niche of folks who have a Black Album poster hanging triumphantly side by side with a White Album poster.

Finally, uninsured patients were more likely to face discharge delays.
"Although U.S. hospitals are legally obligated to care for patients who are emergently ill, they are not obligated to be the continuing provider for medically stabilized uninsured patients," Dr. Fowler noted. The increase in discharge delay may be due to the "difficulty in finding healthcare providers or facilities to accept these patients."
Overall, lack of insurance is independently associated with reduced access to care and poorer outcomes. "We found evidence that patients who are critically ill with lesser degrees of insurance coverage receive fewer critical care services compared with those who have more insurance. Developing more comprehensive programs and legislation to improve health coverage for patients who are acutely ill would therefore seem a logical avenue for investigation," the authors conclude.
While increasing access to insurance inevitable raises concerns about costs, the costs of underinsurance are already borne by society at large, as uninsured patients rely more heavily on emergent care, and the ultimate responsibility for unpaid bills falls to the states and ultimately the tax payers. Furthermore, concerns about possible over-usage are not substantiated by research. Recent evidence shows that individuals who move from no insurance to more comprehensive coverage do not use more resources than the consistently and long-term insured.
"[O]ur review indicates that there may be inequalities in the provision of care to a vulnerable segment, that is, those who are very sick and in need of care but who cannot afford care," concluded t

Plot:Musical romance with twists
Verdict:Strong technique, weak content
Box-office prospects:Very unpredictable
Jaani Dyakha Hawbe has many love stories in the film. Hiya (Payal Sarkar) and Megh (Parambrato) is the youngest pair and theirs is the only love that ends happily. The credit goes to the filmi manipulations of three cameo characters who unite them. They split over an issue no girl would ever forgive her boyfriend for. The second is between Nirupama (Mamata Shankar) and Ishwar Gupta (Anjan Dutt) missing from a torn photograph in Mamata's old album. Meenakshi (Roopa Ganguly), the creative head of a music company, goes nostalgic as she narrates why she separated from her husband long ago but keeps pining for love.
It is the love-gone-sour-but-still-alive story between Nirupama and Ishwar that touches a chord. Meenakshi's narration is practically lost on the audience. These are dwarfed by the antics of Ishwar, the security guard (Debranjan Nag) of the dilapidated building in which Nirupama lives and an all-purpose guy who calls himself Mac Dee (Arijit Dutta) though his father christened him Makhan Charan Das. Ishwar's one-liners are catchy. The film comes to life when these three characters take to the streets or when it focusses on the loud-mouthed, fashion-photographer Pat (Shiboprosad Mukherjee) who uses the façade to gallivant with pretty girls.
Megh's caller-tune is set to Roshan's famous Jo waada kiya woh nibhana padega from Taj Mahal, whose tune has been imaginatively used for the theme music by Indraadeep Dasgupta. Ishwar carries a brass badge bearing the number 786 - a straight lift from Deewaar. He keeps borrowing 100 rupee notes because "I have only 1000 rupee notes", a line borrowed from Anjan Dutt's Madly Bangalee while the rescue act by the three good-for-nothing, do-gooders looks suspiciously similar to the rescue act in Ranjona Ami Aar Ashbona.
