Dark Screams: Volume One by edited Brian James Freeman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
eBook, 98 pages
Published December 9th, 2014 by Hydra
A small but satisfying collection of dark tales by popular authors published by Random House's direct to eBook house, Hydra. All the stories are new to the book except for Stephen King who handed in an early previously unpublished piece.
1. Weeds by Stephen King (1976) - This is a previously unpublished story by King but once reading the first sentence the constant reader recognises what we have. This is the original short story King adapted for the episode "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" in the movie Creepshow and adapted again into comic book format for the accompanying book. Virtually the same story as we know but this text version does make the familiar tale more scary than the campy version we are used to. I liked it! (4/5)
2. The Price You Pay by Kelley Armstrong (2014) - This is an author I've only read a bit and have wanted to read more. Surprisingly, this isn't paranormal or even what I would call horror. It's an incredibly well-told psychological thriller of a stalker and kidnapping with a twist ending that threw me off. I knew something was up, but I picked the wrong person as the schemer. Loved it! (5/5)
3. Magic Eyes by Bill Pronzini (2014) - An inmate in an asylum for the criminally insane is writing in a journal at the bequest of his "shrink". He starts off saying he's sane and did not kill his wife, but by the end, well, you can imagine. Fairly predictable though. Never heard of this author before. (3/5)
4. Murder in Chains by Simon Clark (2014) - Incredibly intense. A man wakes up to find himself laying in the sewers with a padlock around his neck and a ten-foot chain attached to a sleeping hulk of a man he decides to call, Goliath. Very creepy! (5/5)
5. The Watched by Ramsey Campbell - I didn't particularly like this one. A bit hard to describe without giving away the plot, but a paranormal tale which failed to deliver. Predictable with a boring end. (2/5)

A Bookaholic, Pro-life, Pro-Family, Pro-Oxford Comma, Catholic (with Asperger's) who reads and writes as her obsession. I've been reading over 400 books a year lately. These are my ramblings on some of the books I read. To read about all the books I read and comment on, visit me at LibraryThing or Goodreads.
I've been blogging since 2007 and at this point (July 2015) am trying my hand at turning the theme of this blog towards mystery, thriller, and crime, fiction and nonfiction. I have some special interest topics and categories within this broad genre which include (but are not limited to) serial killers, scandi-crime, Victorian history and historicals, history of the criminally insane and asylums, psychopathology, death, funerary practices and burial, corpses, true crime and anything dealing with the real life macabre, or that portrayed in fiction.
I also read a short story a day from various collections, sometimes anthologies othertimes collections of a single author's work. These reviews are also posted here and while they are of mixed genre the mystery, thriller, horror, gothic and macabre often appear within their pages as well.
I also blog about graphic novels and manga on a separate BLOG.

That's about how much 47% of the workforce loses each year in earnings because the gender wage gap persists.
Women represent nearly half (47%) of the labor force in this country and 40% of them work in management, professional, and related jobs. Yet according to the most recent data from the U.S. Census, an average American woman who works at least 35 hours a week earned 77.1% of what her male counterpart took home.
That number has remained pretty consistent for almost 15 years—despite the raft of protests and organizations that continue to push the issue into the spotlight and advocate for change. More than 50 years have passed since the Equal Pay Act was signed into law and one estimate from the Institute for Women's Policy Research indicates it could take until 2056 to actually get parity.
While some say the blame for inequality lies with women stepping off the career track and companies that reward individuals who logged more hours on a traditional work schedule, and while the debate on the causes and solutions rages on, a few companies have solved the problem by taking a bold step: they have made all salaries transparent.
Building In Transparency From The Start
Transparency is a core tenet at data analytics startup SumAll. It's what's helped the four-year old company grow at a rapid clip, according to its cofounder and CEO Dane Atkinson. He says SumAll has realized 1000% growth each year of operation and has amassed 350,000 clients.
What's more impressive to Atkinson is a number that most people won't ever see. It's SumAll's staff retention rate.
At just 10%, Atkinson asserts, "We have lower turnover than the industry average which is 30%-50%." He says no one leave the company because they feel like someone lied to them about salaries which Atkinson believes is the reason for "a big hunk of turnover."
Atkinson also believes that SumAll's baked in transparency eliminates any question of unfair pay regardless of gender. He says that when companies don't disclose wage information to staff, compensation can rely on, "If you kiss your boss's ass better" which makes for a toxic culture. "The people who are highest paid are the least productive and most afraid," he contends.
In four years of operation, Atkinson says he's never encountered an employee who balked at having their wages made public. Rather, he says, "One thing that's surprising is how much it becomes background."
Yet for customer experience manager Mahssa Mostajabi, "Knowing SumAll is transparent and therefore suffers no wage gap was a huge reason for me to join up."
Creating A Formula
Buffer's management rocked the startup world when the company decided to publish their salaries. But they didn't stop there. In effort to make good on its commitment to make nearly everything they do as open as possible, Buffer published the formulas they use to calculate every team member's salary. The formula starts with a base amount for the position then adds a set amount for seniority, experience and location.
This has the net effect of making sure female staff is paid as much as the male employees, but it goes beyond that, according to Buffer's CMO Leo Widrich. "It's that this isn't even a discussion point—it's not at all on the agenda to talk about whether women or men should be paid the same. That's true equality I believe."
Unpacking this a bit further, Widrich posits, "One of the most relieving things about making salaries transparent at Buffer was that we haven't had a single salary negotiation happen."
This is beneficial, he says, because so many initiatives aim to teach women to be more forthcoming and negotiate harder. "As someone watching from the sidelines, this discussion seems to have arisen, because men tend to often be more aggressive and negotiate harder and partially because of that, end up with higher salaries," he says. "Telling women to be more aggressive like men are doesn't seem like a great solution, at least that's what I'm imagining if I was a woman."
Everyone Gets the Same Salary
Another way to attack salary inequity is taking transparency to a whole other level. At Baltimore-based software startup Figure53, founder Chris Ashworth originally calculated salaries based on his belief in "asking them what they want, then offer a little more."
As the company grew and kept adding staff and clients, that equation became a little more tricky. So he decided to let the staff vote on what they believed would be fair compensation. That happened after instituting a flat pay structure. Yes, that means the founder gets paid as much as anyone else—and everyone knows it.
The pay structure has been in place for almost two years and the staff has doubled to twelve people. Ashworth says salaries are augmented with periodic bonuses that are calculated according to the amount of time the person has worked here. "For example: 2014 was a healthy year for us, so I set aside a portion of money for end-of-year bonuses and ran a small script to calculate the percentage of time each person had invested in the company to that point. The bonus pool was then split according to that calculation," he explains.
Lola Pierson, who handles sales, admin, and user community management say the flat, transparent pay structure is a relief. "Salary transparency and equity are one of the many things that we do here that make Figure 53 feel like an inclusive and welcoming work environment," Pierson asserts, especially because none of the women are primarily programmers, generally the highest paid members on any staff. "Because we have equal salaries we aren't in a situation where the women in the office happen to make less, but we can point to another reason and say that it's fair because it's based in the expectations of the market," she adds.
Cricket Arrison, a producer at Figure53, is a veteran of a variety of jobs from politics to manual labor to tech. Lack of transparency about salaries is the reason Arrison says she has no idea if she was paid less than a male in the same role, yet she strongly suspects that was the case.
Arrison also points out that a level pay scale also eliminates the fraught process of negotiation. Adding proof to the theory posited by Buffer's Leo Widrich, Arrison cites a recent study that found only 7% of women negotiate salary, while 57% of men did. Arrison contends negotiating becomes a double-bind for women, "you either don't negotiate, which puts you at a disadvantage compared to men, or you negotiate," which sometimes penalizes women for trying to get higher compensation.
Figure53's founder Chris Ashworth maintains that that paying employees the exact same salary isn't a perfect antidote. "One big drawback to our current system is that it does not account for positions in the company that would be appropriate to pay at a different base salary," he observes. There is no distinction for a true entry-level position where it would be unfair to pay someone the same base salary as a senior designer or developer, for example. "We also do not currently account for the cost of living in different locations, which may or may not be fair; it's hard to say," he notes. "If we continue to grow we will likely need to refine our current system, at least to account for different levels of experience or different levels of responsibility," Ashworth admits, "But for now I'd say it still works nicely."
Using Data To Guide Transparency
Radical transparency isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. But other solutions can work to achieve parity. Xactly found one by combing through its own data.
The cloud-based sales compensation and incentive software provider recently aggregated and anonymously analyzed sales performance data across its customer base to examine any pay discrepancies between men and women. The results indicated that female sales people meet their quotas 3% more often than their male counterparts, but are paid less.
That prompted Xactly's founder and CEO Christopher Cabrera dig in to the data for his own salespeople. "We pay based on experience, not on gender," Cabrera explains, so two people with the same background in the same role are compensated equally. "It is easy to have parity when is clear that the job is what it is, for instance certain sales roles are paid the same based on performance," says Cabrera. When jobs involve more complex responsibilities, he says education, experience and professional background are factored in.
That said, the audit revealed that a small number of reps—both male and female—were being paid unfairly.
Desta Buchowski-Price, Xactly's VP of product management and education, presented these findings to her boss. She says, "As a mother of two girls, my hope is that they have every opportunity to be treated equally, and that every business leader has the courage to find the data and make the decision to correct gender inequity."
Cabrera fixed the problem. Most CEOs would have left the issue there, but Buchowski-Price says that not only did he even have to lower an employee's pay, he made the imbalance public.
"That risk paid off," Cabrera explains, "Employees—both male and female—noted how proud they are to work for a company that cares enough to admit their mistakes and take responsibility to fix them." The bottom line, he says, "Merit, not manhood, should be the determining factor on pay," and regular periodic reviews of salaries help achieve equity.

High Accuracy Elevation Data - Water Conservation Areas and Greater Everglades RegionEntry ID: USGS_SOFIA_HAED_WCA_Everglades
Abstract: The High Accuracy Elevation Data Project collected elevation data (meters) on a 400 meter topographic grid with a vertical accuracy of +/- 15 centimeters to define the topography in South Florida. The data are referenced to the horizontal datum North American Datum 1983 (NAD 83) and the vertical datum North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD 88). In some areas, the surveying was accomplished using ... airboats. Because access was a logistical problem with airboats, the USGS developed a helicopter-based instrument known as the Airborne Height Finder (AHF). All subsequent data collection used the AHF. Data were collected from the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, south through the Water Conservation Areas (1A, 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B), Big Cypress National Park, the Everglades National Park, to the Florida Bay. The data are available for the areas shown on the USGS High Accuracy Elevation Data graphic at http://sofia.usgs.gov/exchange/desmond/desmondelev.html . The work was performed for Everglades ecosystem restoration purposes.
The data are from regional topographic surveys to collect and provide elevation data to parameterize hydrologic and ecological numerical simulation models that are being developed for ecosystem restoration activities. Surveying services were also rendered to provide vertical reference points for numerous water level gauges. Modeling of sheet flow and water surface levels in the wetlands of South Florida is very sensitive to changes in elevation due to the expansive and extremely low relief terrain. Hydrologists determined minimum vertical accuracy requirements for the elevation data for use as input to hydrologic models. As a result, elevation data with a vertical accuracy specification of +/-15 centimeters (cm) relative to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) were collected in critical areas using state-of-the-art differential global positioning system (GPS) technology and data processing techniques.

Quality The Grossman Hammock and Perrine quadrangles have helicopter AHF & airboat and truck data.
All verified and accepted data points are included in the files for the area.
Horizontal positions are established by GPS observations and are referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). The desired horizontal accuracy is ... +/- 15 centimeters. This level of accuracy is consistent with GPS differential techniques which use two stations - a high-quality dual-frequency GPS receiver base station and a roving GPS station. The density and accuracy of a given GPS data observation varies from a few meters to a few centimeters according to the Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP) in the study area. Generally if the PDOP is observed to be excessive, data collection is discontinued or the data are discarded. The PDOP is an indicator of the positional accuracy of the GPS that be can derived from the current GPS satellite geometry, which varies continuously. Generally the smaller the PDOP number, the higher the data quality. The PDOP is a permanent part of the recorded data and is also included in the post processing procedures during reduction of the GPS observations to NAD 83. Where possible, the GPS base station has an ellipsoid height to an accuracy of two centimeters relative to the Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) or the High Accuracy Reference Network (HARN), both operated by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS).
For all elevation data the vertical accuracy specification is +/- 15 centimeters and is referenced to NAVD 1988.
This elevation data is intended primarily for use in hydrological modeling. It is collected as high accuracy, "bare earth" ground elevation. That is, the data are restricted to ground elevations only. "Bare earth" in the Everglades swamp environment is generally considered to be the layer of "muck" which will support a one pound weight on a bearing surface of approximately 5.3 square inches (2.6 inch circle). In non-swamp areas it is actual bare ground.

Skip to comments.[Vanity] Print this for National Empty Chair Day
Posted on 09/02/2012 7:51:59 PM PDT by PhatHead
Print this out, stick it on the back of a cheap plastic chair, and put it in your yard.
Pass it around FRiends. Do it tomorrow!
Here you go!
Thanks. I think I have some empty page protectors around here I can put it in and tape it to the chair with packaging tape.
It will print best on legal size paper. Clear shelf paper will work to stick it to the chair, also - or a few rows of packing tape to "laminate" it.
Keep it low budget!
I always have a,"Flush Obama!" sign ready for the seldom toilet out on the curb. When I see one I just grab the ready made sign, put it on the loo and feel great the rest of the day!
Oh, man, I wish I had an old toilet to use for this! It will be a folding chair for me, though!
OK thanks, I think I have a package of legal paper stashed at my computer desk.
Somehow you have me thinking about Planet of the Apes...
Done deal. I have printed the sign and it will be in my front yard tomorrow taped to a chair. Hahahahahaha.
And don't forget to rub your yard chair with poison ivy/oak/sumac. As the chair will probably be stolen. Make the thieves pay an itchy price!
Haha! And the forecast calls for thunderstorms!
Oh I like that one!!
Haha! I know what you mean - I have some loudmouth lib friends myself. If only I could convince them not to vote, they'd be perfect friends!
You might want to distribute this sign to go with the empty chair.
"And God said:...."I made that".
I have a good insurance policy.
That would make a cool bumper sticker too!
LIKE the EMPTY CHAIR PAGE Here
I just may do that... but I live in Texas where there is little chance of vandalism to my car. I am quite sure Clint is more popular than Obama around here...
Nice collection FrankR - been scrolling through your Photobucket.
"I have a good insurance policy."
My Highlander got keyed for my bumper sticker which said "2008, We're screwed!" It was under the deductible! So I was "Screwed, 2008!"
Nice - empty chairs and table. Must be the beer summit for SEAL Team 6...
I joined the Empty Chair day on FB. On the "like" page, there is a great pic of a plastic empty chair positioned right in front of a gas station sign showing the gas prices per gallon. Powerful.
I wish I could figure out a way to support Chik-Fil-A and Clint Eastwood and have an empty chair present in the pic. That would be amazing.
Careful! That could be considered racist. Let's check with Chris Matthews.
Is Clint carving the bung hole?
I love it!

O.C.'s death row: Serial killer Alcala; murder for hire
For an introduction to the Orange County death row series, a slide show of all the killers on death row and a history of capital punishment in California, click here.
The Orange County Register is publishing summaries of the 58 killers sentenced to death by Orange County judges, two per day during weekdays, from the oldest case to the newest. Here are Nos. 57 and 58:
Rodney James Alcala was sentenced to death for the torture, sexual assault and strangulation of four women in Los Angeles County and a 12-year-old girl from Huntington Beach, crimes committed during a murderous spree in the 1970s. He had twice before been sentenced to death for killing 12-year-old Robin Samsoe in Huntington Beach in June 1979, but both of those convictions were reversed on appeal. He remains a suspect in other slayings in New York and Northern California.
Alberto Martinez, a Pacoima gang member, was sentenced to death for his role as the getaway driver after a botched murder for hire of David Montemayor, a Buena Park businessman, who was ordered slain by his own sister so she could get control of the family trucking business. Montemayor was shot in the back as he tried to flee his kidnappers in October 2002. A wild police pursuit ended in Anaheim when Buena Park police executed a PIT maneuver to disable the car being driven by Martinez.

"I like this vintage style Santa graphic, but I read that the designer used a cutting machine to cut a red vinyl decal to afix to the cream painted wood board. I don't know what kind of cutting machine she is talking about and I wonder how pricey it is? I'd like an alternative to getting that Santa on there."
"This wall decor is very chic with any message you write on it! And it couldn't be easier. However, another option to using foam core board would be to actually buy an old thrift store bulletin board and spray paint it black. I think it would give the wall art a little bit more of a lived-in rustic look as the cork board adds texture and interest."
"This DIY holiday project is something that I would like to do at home myself. This craft is not for everyone's taste, but if you like a certain minimalist decorating approach and you've got a creative eye then this is for you! At first I did not even notice the picture frame in the background. It's used to attach the branch to it. Cute idea!"

Audience participation is nothing new. All audiences participate. The performer performs and the audience applauds or maybe they throw tomatoes. Sometimes it's said that the audience is half the show. But in the imaginary land of Foo Fah the audience is much more. Storyteller Spiegel assigns parts to sections of the crowd and then like the conductor of a preposterous symphony directs them in the telling of his ridiculous and sublime stories.
Who is Marc Spiegel
Marc began performing while a graduate student in government at Harvard to stop himself from going into politics. Nonetheless, true to his democratic beliefs he became a storyteller when that's what people started telling him he was. The stories he told were original and based in reality—his reality, filled with Snorfledrogs, Woreboresnorts, tree stumps seeking enlightenment, young maids in battle and quantum physics among other things.
After a while he transferred from Harvard to the university of street performing in San Francisco. Unfortunately, unlike his former school, this new institution did not award any fellowships so with a healthy dose of poetic justice, similar to a politician, he was forced to solicit funding from his audiences.
Marc had no public relations organization to help him, but being always a fair-minded fellow, he decided to make the audience part of the show. Why should he have all the fun when with a little moral support and some gentle direction, the audience could join
in the performance.

Ary Sternfeld
A forgotten space pioneer, 1905–1980, Ary Sternfeld (Szternfeld, Shternfeld) introduced the word cosmonautics in the language of science. Sternfeld's unusual life journey took him from Poland to France and finally to the Soviet Union. He saw the recognition, he faced danger, and he suffered indignity. The life of Ary Sternfeld reflected the turbulent history of the 20th century.
The Space Research Center of the Polish Academy of Science (CBK PAN) organized a conference (in town of Sieradz, Poland; 23 September 2010) to commemorate the heritage of Ary Sternfeld. Almost one hundred people attended the event, including Town President and local officials, a member of the National Parliament, scientists, school teachers, and students.
The organizers invited me to give a talk on the unusual life story of Sternfeld. Since I could not attend the conference, I narrated a powerpoint presentation and converted it into a video that was played at the meeting. The lecture is based on the book From Astronautics and Cosmonautics published in 2007. The book, in turn, built upon an earlier article in Quest (M. Gruntman, He introduced the word Cosmonautics. The story of Ary Sternfeld, a forgotten space pioneer, Quest, v. 14, N. 1, pp. 44-54, 2007) and a talk (M. Gruntman, Word Cosmonautics: a History, IAC-06-E4.1.7) at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Valencia, Spain, 2006.
The lecture consists of two parts, Part 1 (14 min) and Part 2 (11 min) – YouTube limits the duration of videos to 15 minutes. Direct links are
Part 1
Part 2
Mike Gruntman is professor of astronautics at the University of Southern California. He is an accomplished space scientist and educator, with more nearly 300 scholarly publications, including 4 books, in various areas of science and engineering.
His book Blazing the Trail. The Early History of Spacecraft and Rocketry (published by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 2004) received the 2006 Luigi Napolitano Award from the International Academy of Astronautics. Another Mike's book, From Astronautics to Cosmonautics, 2007, was nominated (2008) for the Emme Award of the American Astronautical Society.

The Johnny Cash Challenge
"Hello, I'm Johnny Cash." Sadly, for music lovers around the world, the opportunity to hear that line delivered by the Man in Black ended with his death on September 12, 2003.
- Print page

- Permalink
But thanks to the talent of musos across the Kimberley, we can relive the greatest moments of Johnny Cash's incredible career via ABC Kimberley's Johnny Cash Challenge.
After the raging success of the Bon Jovi Challenge last year, we are once again on the hunt for the person or band in the Kimberley who can best reinterpret one of Cash's amazing songs.
The idea is simple - all you need to do is a cover of one of Johnny Cash's songs and send it to ABC Kimberley. We will then play it on the radio along with other entries and ultimately have a public vote to determine which one is the best.
And yes, it is fine to do a cover of a cover. Some of the great perfomances from Cash, particularly late in his career, were memorable covers. These are fine to be re-interpreted once again.
The winner of the challenge gets a great prize pack plus the recognition of being the 2013 Johnny Cash Challenge winner and all the celebrity-like kudos that comes with it.
Ways to enter:1. Record your version of a song and email it to firstname.lastname@example.com in mp3 format.
2. Record your version and put on a USB/CD and send in to ABC Kimberley, PO Box 217, Broome 6725.
3. Come in to either the ABC Kimberley Broome or Kununurra studio and record your song here. Make sure you call on 08 9191 3011 before to set up a time.
So get onto it folks!
Entries are rolling in. Have a listen and make sure you come back to this page to hear the latest in Kimberley talent tearing it up with Johnny.
Bex from Broome with her version of 'Hurt'. Well done to Bex and thanks to everyone who participated. Stay tuned to ABC Kimberley Breakfast for the return of the challenge in early 2014.

Deutsche Bank and the Nazi Economic War Against the Jews by Dr. Harold James
Book DescriptionThe Deutsche Bank, Germany's largest financial institution, played an important role in the expropriation of Jewish-owned enterprises during the Nazi dictatorship, both in the existing territories of Germany, and in the area seized by the German army during World War II. In this 2001 book Harold James uses new and previously unavailable materials, many from the bank's own archives, to examine policies which led to the eventual genocide of European Jews. How far did the realization of the vicious and destructive Nazi ideology depend on the acquiescence, the complicity, and the cupidity of existing economic institutions, and individuals? In response to the traditional view that business co-operation with the Nazi regime was motivated by profit, this book closely examines the behaviour of the bank and its individuals to suggest other motivations. No comparable study exists of a single company's involvement in the economic persecution of the Jews in Nazi Germany.

I grew up in New Brunswick, so no mule deer for me (although maybe soon - I live in Arizona now). I see lots of discussion on these boards regarding whitetail, moose, caribou, etc., but have never seen mule deer recipes or comments regrading it's taste. Is that because it's so close to whitetail?

Harrisburg - Spinning wheels accompanied by the ups and downs of the loom and the scratch of carding wool signifed the beginning of the 32nd annual Sheep To Shawl Competition at the 2011 Pennsylvania Farm Show, Wednesday, Jan. 12.The Dream Weavers of Northumberland County, three-year competitors, came in first with their bluebird-inspired shawl. Team members include Abby Schrack, Jack Smith, Carol Chaapel, Joanna Smith, Wayne Appleman and Francie Appleman, who explained, "We thought the bluebird was a nice idea, and the blue and grey colors complimented each other very well." Eight teams competed in the competition. Each consists of six members who shear, card, spin and weave the freshly-shorn wool. Teams are given two and a half hours from the first shear off their sheep to the completion of a themed shawl. Each team picks a specific theme to which they match their shawl. Judges based their criteria on the following factors - shearing, fleece, design and speed. During the contest they circulated among the teams to determine how each was performing, along with making a detailed inspection of the finished shawls. Judges for the contest were Ben Bow of Lebanon County, Cynthia Baker of Lancaster County, Kris Peters of York County, and Susan Withnell of Westminster, Md. Agriculture Secretary Russell C. Redding gave a brief address and handed out awards to all winners. Team placings were as follows:1st Place Grand Champion- Dream Weavers of Northumberland County 2nd Place Reserve Champion- Treadlers Through Time of Lancaster, Lebanon and Berks counties3rd Place- Fort Freeland Flickers of Montour County 4th Place- Friends Thru Fiber of Franklin and Adams counties 5th Place- Time Warp of Montour County
Each hand-crafted shawl was auctioned off following the contest. Topping the auction block was fourth place Friends Thru Fiber's shawl with a selling price of $2,250 to Peggy Brown of Aurora, W.V.; the winning shawl sold for $925 to Dennis Wolgemuth of Wolgemuth Auction in Leola, Lancaster County; second place Treadlers Thru Time's shawl sold for $850 to Patty Houck of Harrisburg, Dauphin County; third place Fort Freeland Flickers' piece sold for $650 to Mike Sprout of Mt.

Philadelphia 76ers
Iverson turns himself in
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson
surrendered to authorities at sunrise Tuesday on charges that he burst into
his cousin's apartment with a handgun and threatened two men while searching
for his wife after an argument. The surrender came around 5:30 a.m., about half
an hour after a convoy of sport utility vehicles and a minivan left the grounds
of Iverson's $2.4 million suburban mansion, where the tempestuous superstar
had been under virtual house arrest since prosecutors said last week they would
charge him and his uncle with assault, terroristic threats and related offenses.
By about 9:30 a.m., Iverson had been fingerprinted and photographed and was
18th in line to be arraigned.
Stains found in Allen Iverson's car,
initially believed by investigators to be smeared blood, turned out not
to be bloodstains, a police official said Monday.
Detectives found broken glass in
the Cadillac Escalade frequently driven by Iverson's wife, but a police
official speaking on condition of anonymity said investigators later determined
the stains were some other substance and were not related to the smashed
"His kids ride in the car. We think
that the stains probably came from the kids," the official said. "It's
definitely not blood."
He declined to say how the determination
was made.
Police searched Iverson's suburban
Philadelphia home and seized the car Thursday, looking for evidence to
back charges that he forced his way into a cousin's apartment with a gun
July 3 while looking for his wife.
Iverson, who had met with lawyers Monday night, also faces
gun charges. The 27-year-old player and his uncle had been expected to turn
themselves in Tuesday, and reporters and photographers had been camped out around
his suburban Gladwyne home throughout the night.
His attorney, Richard Sprague, said outside police headquarters
that Iverson would plead innocent to the charges. He declined further comment.
As he arrived at police headquarters Tuesday, Iverson,
who has had troubles on and off the court, could be seen wearing a white T-shirt
and stretched across the back seat of a green minivan.
Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson told reporters that
Iverson would be in custody until at least late afternoon. He was being held
separately from other prisoners, but would not get any other special attention.
"He's known nationally. He's known globally. So obviously
there is a safety factor if you put him in a room with another prisoner," said
William Colarulo, a police inspector.
Iverson's uncle Gregory Iverson also turned himself in
at around dawn. His attorney, Guy R. Sciolla, said he intends to plead innocent.
As Iverson prepared to turn himself in, his mother defended
him outside his home late Monday.
"He knows he's got to do what he's got to do," Ann Iverson
said. "I'm going to stick by my son because I know the man he is. I tell him
don't worry about it, everything happens for a reason."
She arrived at the suburban home about 11:30 p.m. with
videotapes of popular comedies, including Eddie Murphy's Delirious and
various Richard Pryor movies.
"He wants to look at things that's going to make him laugh,"
she said.
Iverson is accused of throwing his wife, Tawanna, out of
the mansion during a fight earlier this month, then barging into the cousin's
Philadelphia apartment with a gun while searching for her the next night.
The charges against Iverson carry a maximum sentence of
more than 50 years in prison, although lawyers not involved in the case have
said he is unlikely to serve any jail time.
Iverson, who was told by police that he would be arrested
if he left the grounds of his mansion before turning himself in, had not been
seen outside his house since about 5 a.m. Sunday, at the end of a get-together
with friends and relatives. The last glimpse of his wife came Wednesday. Neither
spoke with reporters.
About a dozen fans mingled on the sidewalks Tuesday morning
outside police headquarters, where Iverson was awaiting a bail hearing. Among
them was a group of children selling lemonade while listeners recruited by a
Philadelphia sports radio station walked about in circus garb.
Iverson and his wife married in August, two months after
he led the 76ers to the NBA Finals for the first time in 18 years to end a season
in which he was named the league's MVP.
Iverson and his uncle are accused of threatening two people
inside the apartment 21-year-old Charles Jones and 17-year-old Hakim
Carey. Tawanna Iverson wasn't at the apartment when Iverson came looking for
her, authorities said.
Police have searched Iverson's house and vehicles, but
are not believed to have found a weapon.
In a court document filed Monday, police said one of the
searches, in which investigators were seeking evidence of a domestic dispute
between the Iversons, turned up two cell phones, a phone bill, other phone company
documents and auto body repair documents. There was no mention of a gun. The
police document did not say whether the search was of Iverson's house or cars.
As a teenager, Iverson was arrested in a Hampton, Va.,
bowling alley brawl in 1993 and spent four months in prison before then-Gov.
Douglas Wilder granted clemency. The conviction was overturned on appeal in
In 1997, Iverson pleaded no contest to a gun charge after
police near Richmond, Va., stopped a car in which he was a passenger and found
a gun belonging to Iverson and two marijuana cigarettes. A marijuana-possession
charge was dropped.
Since arriving in Philadelphia, Iverson has squabbled several
times with 76ers coach Larry Brown and drew harsh criticism over an unreleased
rap CD in which Iverson used derogatory terms for women and gays.

"I don't think women's breasts should be used to sell things," I said. "You probably think that because your body isn't hot enough to sell anything," came the reply. It's not, unfortunately, an uncommon response to women who identify as feminists or are expressing a view with room to encroach on another's misogyny. Feminists can of course have bodies worthy of selling things. They can be skinny, they can be beautiful, models, shop-keepers, mothers, sex-workers, large, short, famous, male even. They can be proud of their bodies but still enjoy, say, a photoshoot with Annie Leibowitz once in a while.
When Jezebel offered £10,000 for the untouched photos of Lena Dunham's Vogue shoot, it was more than a little unsettling. Paying substantially to obtain images of a woman's body against her will to then publish and profit from is itself entirely problematic. This was not an exhibition in revealing Vogue's photoshopping ways - hardly news - but rather a singling out of one woman to make a spectacle for others. And nestled within their chipper plea was a patronising and cynical take on Dunham: "a woman who trumpets body positivity, who's unabashedly feminist… Her body is real. She is real." There it was: the man at the party telling you he values your friendship because you're the real one, the one with her head screwed on, just an average sensible girl, unlike that girl over their, you see her? The fake dumb one he hates to chat to but want's to bang. It was offensive on all accounts; a narrow-minded view of attractiveness and it's "characteristics".
When Dunham identified herself as a feminist, as far as Jezebel were concerned, she had given up her right to identify as anything but real, normal, average. And apparently, not satisfied that she is comfortable with her own body, Jezebel feel she must maintain that responsibility for the rest of us. "Take off the re-touches!" they demanded, "take off the photoshopping, take it off, off-off-off!"
To be body-real has incorrectly, and offensively, become synonymous with looking standard - bland even. And as a correlative there is a common misconception that glamour and illusion are for unaware, insincere puppets. Feminists - the "average" woman - however, are not permitted to enjoy the same fantasy.
It is indisputable that photoshopping women's bodies for fashion magazines is unhealthy and irresponsible. But editing an artistic photo with careful composition is hardly an infringement on anyone's ideals.
There is of course a strong new trend for young women to enjoy taking photos of themselves and an abundance of social networks for them to share these images on. Yet these woman are routinely mocked for this, teased in the media, and the subject of blogs solely dedicated to scoffing these selfies. It seems we are unable to celebrate the confidence of these women who are the first to be proud of their bodies. These pictures are of course a form of controlled illusion. These women have considered the light of their bathroom mirror, positioned it so as not to catch a glare on the camera phone, tilted their heads just enough to one side, and placed the lense at an angle to catch the right amount of cleavage, or show the body from it's most flattering side. They are enjoying the glamour, the fantasy of who you might think they could be. And - as with Dunham's Vogue photoshoot - what their views on womanhood are neither here nor there, and their background are irrelevant - secondary only to enjoying the way they look for a moment. Perhaps they are unabashedly feminist. Their body is real. They are real.Reuse content

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Is China's economy, the second largest in the world, a disaster coming down to a hard landing, which has been the popular forecast for four or five years now? Or is it merely slowing from unsustainable double-digit growth of more than 12% a few years ago, to a more reasonable and sustainable pace?
This week the International Monetary Fund cut its forecast for China's 2014 economic growth to 7.4% from its 7.5% forecast in April.
At the same time, it cut its forecast for overall global growth in 2014 to 3.4%, and for 2014 growth for the U.S. economy to just 1.7% from its forecast of 2.8% three months ago.
Iinvestor concerns are that the twin bubbles in China's real estate market and the nation's credit structure, and its underdeveloped financial markets, will result in a hard landing for its economy. Those concerns have had China's stock market in a long bear market in which it has declined 65% since its peak in 2007, and 39% from its peak in 2009.
As a result, the Shanghai Composite is selling at just 7.9 times 12-month projected earnings, down from its 5-year average P/E ratio of 11.3. Meanwhile, in the U.S. the S&P 500 has been in a powerful bull market since 2009, which has it selling at 18 times projected earnings.
Those are interesting comparisons. An economy projected to grow 7.4% in 2014 has a stock market plunged to a five-year low and selling at only 7.9 times earnings, while an economy projected to slow to 1.7% growth has its stock market at a five-year high, and selling at 18 times projected earnings.
Perhaps it is justified.
Sentiment for the U.S. economy and market is at high bullish levels of bullishness and complacency, even though the U.S. Fed is cutting back its stimulus. Sentiment for China's economy and stock market remains negative in spite of aggressive moves by China's government to protect and re-stimulate its economy, and impressive economic reports in recent months that indicate the moves are working.
China has been spending aggressively on the nation's infrastructure to produce jobs. It cut reserve requirements for banks. In March, it issued rules allowing banks to sell preferred stock, providing another avenue for banks to raise their capital to healthier levels. This week it ruled that China's banks can roll loans for "qualified" companies facing liquidity problems over into new loans, to avoid defaults.
On the economy, early this month China reported its third-largest quarterly trade surplus on record.
This week HSBC reported that its flash China PMI Mfg Index rose to 52 in July from 50.7 in June, and 49.4 in May. Within the index; new orders, new export orders, backlogs, employment, and prices all improved. It was the most positive PMI report since early 2013.
However, Norman Chan, investment director at NAB Private Wealth Advisory says, "Sentiment on China is so negative that every piece of good news is treated as the glass being half empty."
Alastair Chan, an economist at Moody's Analytics, says the big challenge for China will be to control what has been runaway property price inflation without deflating the market and sparking a significant economic downturn.
That has been the main concern for the last five years.
However, there are more positive voices showing up lately.
Dai Ming, at Hengsheng Hongding Asset Management in Shanghai, says, "There's a consensus growing that China's economy can stabilize."

This is a really nice and quiet place and one can choose to on around on bike or just walk. We choose to walk as that way we can see more things.
Very quiet place, try not to disturb the neighborhood. Can take few nice photos there in the early morning. Don't miss the beach nearby, its crystal clear water with blue sky will give you a perfect shot. Quite a small place actually.
The highlight of the place would be the emerald blue sea near the area and there aren't too many people as well so you could take nice pictures uninterrupted. The tree-lined paths are idyllic to walk along but you may feel lost after awhile. If time is limited for you, it would be good to refer to the map to...
In the "winter months seems to be the best time to go. Lots of trees and cats to look at. Nice walk with your partner.
Great place to-go near the famous aquarium. Suitable for family with children or elderly .may ride bicycle along the seaside to cape bisezaki.
There are a few cafe in this area.
Love the fresh air in the green tunnel.
Drove at snail pace in their 40-50 km limit took us nearly 3 hours from Naha to get here for some short walk amongst these trees.
Whatever was I thinking. Don't even know why this is an attraction.
The signage is so bad that we didn't even know where it was or where it started. We just assumed where we...
We went here after visiting the aquarium and it was pleasant enough but nothing special. Worth a stop if you're close by.
Bise is a little village by the Aquarium. There's a fantastic beach nearby but what Bise Village is known for is its little alleyway that is flanked by Fukugi trees. From time to time, you would get to see a local farmer with his Oakley shades dragging a water buffalo dragging a trailer filled with tourists that are busy snapping...
I enjoy photography as a hobby and like natural trails and the photos I can get during them. I had trouble finding things to take a pic of in this maze of trees, peoples houses and more rows of trees. Got some great spiders eating bugs shots but not much else and in July it is hot in the trees....
Very nice village, with many traditional houses (but don't expect a tradiditional village like you would see on Taketomi Island). It is very nice for a relaxing walk and there are several nice cafe and soba shop to enjoy some drinks and food. Very popular place for both foreign and Japanese visitors.

Krishna Kumar Karwa, managing director, Emkay Global Financial Services expects the Nifty to consolidate around current levels.
Krishna Kumar Karwa (more)
MD & CFO, Emkay Global Financial Services | Capital Expertise: Equity - Fundamental ,IPO
Krishna Kumar Karwa, managing director, Emkay Global Financial Services expects the Nifty to consolidate around current levels. Markets could be buoyant for another four-five weeks, but decisively breaching 6,000 and moving beyond could be a challenge, he said in an interview to CNBC-TV18.
From January 2013 onwards, the focus of the market will shift to the Union Budget 2013 and how things pan out on the political front. These two factors could pave way for market's movement early next year," he added.
Meanwhile, Karwa is bullish on midcap stocks like Dhanuka Agri , Kajaria , LIC Housing Finance .
Below is the edited transcript of Karwa's interview with CNBC-TV18.
Q: What is your orientation for the rest of December? Do you see more upside?
A: No, markets on overall basis should consolidate. We have had a sharp run up and the price moment of late on the Nifty itself does not suggest that there should be a further rally.
However, having said that, the breadth of the market seems to be very good. Lot of individual stocks in the midcap and small cap segment are performing very well on the back of various expectations. There will be a buoyant sentiment around, but for Nifty to decisively cross 6,000 and beyond could be a challenge.
Q: Yesterday it was all about PSU banks and today too the smaller banks have opened up well. How bullish would you be on that space?
A: In terms of valuations, in public sectors banks there is a substantial discount versus the private sector banks and for a reason, but the valuation gaps have increased substantially.
That is the reason I believe that some of the public sector banks have kind of played catch up. Apart from that, there were some legislations in parliament related to recover bad NPAs etc.
For these reasons we are seeing some catching up being played in public sector banks. As far as the old generation private sector banks are concerned, there are expectations about new banking licenses or mergers etc.
These are events are more of expectations than actual reality. The old generation private sector banks can move up, but finally valuations will come into play. If events do not pan out then they should languish.
Q: Have enquiries increased from your retail crowd? Are you feeling confident to tell them that next year will be about taking out the previous high and making new highs?
A: The mutual fund transactions for the last so many months, as well as everyday are net negative. Retail investors that play through the domestic mutual funds and through insurance etc the redemptions pressures are still there. As far as direct retail is concerned, for the last one year we have seen that it is only the HNI and super HNI segment, who understand the markets reasonably well have been very active.
The hardcore retail has still not come in though of late volumes have picked up. The retail crowd is still a bit iffy as far as the strength of the market is concerned.
Q: What is your sense of how the tail end of this year may shape up? Is it still looking like we will cross 6,000 and go in quite buoyant into January or was the run that we saw the last month and a half about it?
A: It is human nature to be impacted most positively by the recent events. Looking at the momentum, the feeling is that January should also be a decent month. But there are global events, which will play on the minds of the investors and you also have the upcoming Budget etc.
So you could see some buoyancy for the next 30-40 days. Later, how Gujarat State Election plays out, what kind of Budget expectations get built in etc will be important factors to determine the longer course of action.
Q: What level of interest are you sensing in the primary issues of CARE, PC Jewellers and Bharti Infratel which starts today? What would you be telling your clients to do in these issues?
A: We are positive across the board. CARE is a very good issue in terms of valuations, in terms of the business opportunity. We are seeing a decent amount of interest from retail or from investors in the CARE IPO.
Bharti Infratel is more of an institutional kind of a stock and retail investors typically look for listing gains. There is no doubt that on a long-term basis Bharti Infratel will give decent returns to investors. It is a challenge to explain the business model to retail investors. So, we are not seeing very aggressive interest in Bharti Infratel from retail investors.
As far as PC Jewellers is concerned, the jewellery space is under-penetrated as an organized sector. Overall there is a sense of bullishness and we should see a decent amount of retail interest coming in PC Jewellers also.

The Hansons-Brooks Distance Project began in 1999, offering promising post-collegiate runners the support they needed to focus on developing their full potential. Lacking the resources of big-time running outfits like Nike's Oregon Project and tucked away in a minor league running town, the scrappy Hansons-Brooks team toed the start line outgunned. But the running world took notice as Hansons-Brooks athletes showed up to races in their now iconic jerseys, running as a disciplined team and quickly moving up the ranks to finish at the front of the pack in the biggest U.S. races and Olympic trials. "The Hansons Marathon Method" codifies the team's unconventional, science-based thinking on how to get the best possible performance out of every runner. The plan begins with the end in mind, preparing a runner's mind and body for the whole race, not just the easier early miles. Featuring precisely paced speed work and shorter, harder runs that remold a runner's muscles for long-lasting endurance, the Hansons method develops runners who won't just finish their marathon, but will master the race, feeling strong at every mile. "The Hansons Marathon Method" forges true marathoners from mere mortals, preparing them to withstand the hardest last miles of the race for record-breaking performance.

Andy Murray's clay-court season has taken time to catch fire but the 22-year-old Scot blazed a trail into the quarter-finals of the Madrid Masters last night with a performance that belied his recent problems. Murray needed just an hour and 10 minutes to claim only his third victory of the year on clay by beating Romania's Victor Hanescu 6-2, 6-1.
Murray's form has picked up with each tournament over the last six weeks. Hanescu, the world No 38, was a potentially dangerous opponent given his prowess on clay – all four of the 28-year-old's appearances in finals have been on his favourite surface – but he had no answers to Murray's all-round excellence.
Consistency was the key. Murray kept making Hanescu play the extra shot, although he also hit plenty of winners. After a tight opening, the world No 4 won 10 of the last 11 games and Hanescu looked a beaten man long before the finish.
"The start of the match was really important," Murray said. "There were a lot of tight games, but I played really well once I got ahead. The conditions were a bit nicer today. They closed the roof, so it was a bit warmer and a bit easier to play."
Today, Murray faces an even tougher task when he takes on David Ferrer for the second time in a fortnight, having lost to the Spaniard in Rome. Ferrer, who reached the last eight by beating Marin Cilic, has won more matches on clay this year than any other player. "He's obviously playing great on the clay just now," Murray said. "He's a tough player, but if I play well I've got a chance."
Ferrer was beaten in the Rome final by Rafael Nadal, who took his clay-court record this season to 12 wins from 12 matches with a 7-5, 6-4 victory over John Isner yesterday. Not even the front-row presence of a host of Real Madrid players, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Raul, could distract the king of clay from his aim of winning a third successive Masters title. His next opponent is the Frenchman Gaël Monfils.
At 6ft 9in tall and with a serve to match his 17st frame, Isner can trouble anyone. The world No 19 looked comfortable for the best part of a set, but as soon as his serve started to falter the 25-year-old was in trouble. Nadal, who is aiming to win a record 18th Masters title, dropped only eight points on his own serve.
Federer was in equally impressive form, beating his fellow Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka 6-3, 6-1 to earn a quarter-final rematch with Ernests Gulbis, who beat Feliciano Lopez 6-2, 7-6. Gulbis beat Federer in the second round in Rome a fortnight ago. In the other quarter-final Nicolas Almagro will take on Jurgen Melzer, who surprised Fernando Verdasco in straight sets.
In the women's tournament Shahar Peer maintained her recent good form, beating Arantxa Parra Santonja 7-5, 6-2 to reach the quarter-finals. The Israeli will play China's Li Na, who beat Alona Bondarenko 7-5, 6-2, the winner to face Venus Williams or Sam Stosur.

No. 2. David Amerson, CB, NC State
2011 stats: He started 13 games and finished the season with 59 tackles, five pass breakups, and 13 interceptions for 205 yards and two touchdowns.
Previously ranked: Not ranked.
Making the case for Amerson: He was a first-team Walter Camp All-American, and led the FBS with 13 interceptions -- six more than any other player. It was the most in the FBS since 1968 and tied as the second-best total in FBS history. He broke the ACC's single-season interception record in the upset of No. 7-ranked Clemson. He also broke the school's single-season interception record of nine that had stood for 73 years and was set by Art Rooney in 1937 and 1938. He was one of just three true freshmen to start a game for the Pack in 2010. To say he had a breakout sophomore season is an understatement. In 2010, he didn't have one pick in 640 snaps. He found his comfort zone after moving from boundary to field corner.

This news article was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government
A British national has been released from detention, following his arrest on the South Sudan border.
Minister David Lidington said:
"I welcome the release of the demining team. British officials have met Mr Fielding and can confirm that he is healthy and was well treated by the Sudanese while he was in detention. I'd like to thank President Mbeki, President Buyoya and the AU High Implementation Panel for facilitating their release. This helps to create a constructive atmosphere for engagement with the UNSC resolution."

Comments about Avanti 3.1 Cu Ft Black Single Door Counter-High Refrigerator:
I bought this because I had a very small space with NO depth to fit a fridge into. This was the shallowest I could find anywhere. It seems to run very cold, is not too noisy, and doesn't seem to generate a lot of heat even though there is 0" clearance behind and on 1 side.The only negative is a nasty smell of new plastic or something for the first month or so.

If you've been putting in the hard work that's necessary to lose weight, but your attempts have just felt like an endless series of banging your head ...

Based on my research and experience, I'm against snacking for fat loss and fast metabolism. Snacking has become a multibillion-dollar industry where manufacturers push an ever-widening array of Frankenfoods loaded with high-fructose corn syrup and trans fat.
For about two-thirds of us, losing weight can thankfully be as easy as eating less and exercising more -- we've heard this story all along. But for the other one-third, weight loss can be a huge battle because of weight loss resistance.
At one time or another, we've all been promised this: "If the amount of calories we eat is less than the amount of calories our bodies use, we will lose weight." I'm sorry to say that this promise is false.
Over the years, I've had some patients tell me they only need to smell food to gain weight. Of course, the point they're trying to make is that they gain weight more readily than others.
