"Well, I didnt quite expect to be first on deck but when the coach asks you to play a position...you play it. I will bring the ball up otherwise the game obviously wont get started. Although I don't have stats in front of me at this moment (nor do I have time to look for them), there has been a growing trend in professional sports to look much harder at athletes that have acquired degrees. The New England Patriots were the first to boast that the majority of their team (70% or more) had obtained a 4 year degree. This philosophy has trickled down and we now look much more closely at players who have a degree. Does having a degree make you a more complete football player? I would say no. However, it does tell us certain things about a person. In a nutshell, anyone who obtains a four year degree has had to exhibit some level of commitment, persistance, time/stress management and ability to retain and express key points". These qualities are directly related to success in all endeavors...questions or comments? The ball has been passed...

JACKSON, Miss. - The Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) announced its 2015-16 All-Academic Team and Jackson State University had 176 student-athletes to receive the honor. In order to qualify for the team, student-athletes must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better.
The Tigers, for the third consecutive time, earned the institutional Academic Excellence Award for having the most honorees on the All-Academic team. JSU, which is considered a model institution concerning Academic Progress Rate (APR) by the NCAA, also led the SWAC in APR. Put into effect in 2003 as part of an ambitious academic reform effort in Division I, APR holds institutions accountable for the academic progress of their student-athletes through a team-based metric that accounts for eligibility and retention of each student-athlete for each academic term.
Currently, teams must maintain a four-year average APR of 930 or a two-year APR of 940 to participate in NCAA championships. In 2015-16 and beyond, teams must keep a four-year average APR of 930 to compete in championships. While the APR is intended as an incentive-based approach, it does come with a progression of penalties for teams that under-perform academically over time.
JSU did not have any teams to fall into the APR penalty structure in the latest report. The All-Academic Team is representative of the SWAC's progress, with the increases in training and focus shift towards the academic success of its student-athletes.

Makes 6 to 8 servings
Leftovers will keep up to 3 days under refrigeration
Freezes up to 2 months.
A boned shoulder of lamb is "stuffed" with a lavish layer of fresh herbs, then rolled before roasting so that as each slice is carved it reveals a fragrant pinwheel of green. This is equally good served hot or cold for a summer buffet.
5 tablespoons finely snipped chives
2 tablespoons finely chopped curly parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil,
or 2 teaspoons dried
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary,
or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
One 3-1/2 pound (net weight)
boned shoulder of lamb
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
10 grinds black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons Demerara
or light brown sugar
1 onion, peeled and sliced
For the gravy
2 teaspoons fat from the roasting pan
2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed
with 1-1/4 cups cold water
1 beef stock cube, crumbled
1 teaspoon light or dark brown sugar
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
About 3 hours before you intend to roast the meat, mix all the herbs and the lemon zest together in a small bowl.
Lay the meat, skin-side-down, on a board and cut out any lumps of fat. Cover with a piece of wax paper and pound to a fairly even thickness with a meat mallet or the end of a rolling pin. Remove the paper. Lightly sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper, then spread the herb mixture over the surface. Roll the meat up tightly and secure it in 2 or 3 places with kitchen twine.
Leave the meat until you are ready to roast it, then place on a rack in a roasting pan. Brush all over with the oil. Then mix together the mustard and flour and coat the meat with the mixture.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Roast the meat for 1/2 hour, then baste it well, sprinkle with the sugar, and slip the onion slices under it to brown and flavor the juices. Roast for a further 1-1/2 hours, basting once, until the meat is a rich brown.
Lift the meat onto a dish, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and keep warm in a warming oven or in the regular oven turned down to its lowest setting.
To make the gravy, skim off all but 2 teaspoons of fat from the pan and remove the onion. Add the cornstarch mixed to a smooth consistency with the water, the crumbled stock cube, the sugar, and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Simmer on top of the stove until thick and glossy, about 3 minutes.
Serve the gravy with the sliced meat and vegetables such as Swedish "Fan" Potatoes and Minted Peas and Cucumber with Shallots. It is also delicious cold served with an assortment of salads or in sandwiches.

The Latest: Rapid Content Authoring Tool Market

The RCAT (rapid content authoring tool) market continues to be healthy with nothing to slow it down – uh, except maybe one thing (more on that later). Yeah, I know we have just jumped into January, but in a review of the past several months, authoring tools continue to follow a similar path amongst themselves with certain feature sets. However, where you would expect some to move towards – they haven't, which is disappointing on multiple tiers. Whatever the reason happens to be – they need not worry anymore – everyone is doing it.

Ratings and Reviews
A great little knife. However, I wear cowboy boots with my plain clothes attire. I have yet to find a boot knife that works with these. If you attach it to the uppers it is too heavy and presses against the pant leg. If you strap it to your leg it slides down into the boot, and there is no way I've found to strap it to the outside of the boot. If someone knows of a way to where this knife with cowboy boots please let me know. If someone know a difference knife that would with western footwear let me know.
I think the sheath should be able to rotate.
works fine only problem i got is not comfortable but its great for what its made for it was there when i needed it did get a cut using it
I got this knife free with a pair .511 boots last year. I threw it in my unit and never touched it. I wasn't in the habbit of carrying a boot knife and assumed (incorrectly) that this wasn't a quality product...mostly becuase it was free. I was quite wrong.
In a recent training event, the instructor disscussed a boot knife as last resort effort and then showed that he was carrying the same. I started carrying it last week. So far, so good. It seems to stay in place well, using the velcro strap it came with. Im quite impressed with the quality of the knife.
The quality is top notch and I feel certain it will last for many years to come. This will likley continue to be part of the equipment, I carry on a daily basis at work.
i don't wear boots off duty so i clip it to my belt, i hardly notice its there.
Simple, useful, "I can open that" knife made doubly so if you own 511 pants/shorts. Clips on to the molle strap, belt, (never did get the hang of the boot strap, but that's another option) and fits perfectly into the magazine or knife pocket.
The sheath is great; you know when it's secured. The only downside is that if you were to, hypothetically, run it through a commercial washer you *might* lose the screws that secure the clip to the sheath. It'll still work just fine, mind you, but it limits your positioning options.
Seriously, it's a nice little knife. I only wish it came with a whetstone.
This is a great knife for ultimate backup and "last resort". Nicely concealed as neck carry. Light weight and after a few minutes don't even feel it. I have attached it to paracord. I would highly recommend this knife, for the specific purpose it is intended. I am planning to try the "SidePick boot knife" as well, but it might be a little bulkier than this one.
I am unable to remove the knife from its scabbard. No amount of force will allow it to come out.
I purchased this product with the recommendation of the sales person who i purchased my A.T.A.C. 8" boots from. I concealed the knife in the boot pocket for about a month until I was involved in a foot chase. luckily I did not have to rely on the knife after the chase had ended because it was no where to be found. Sharp knife but it will serve you no purpose if its not there when you need it.


text: Race Drink is formulated to be pH neutral and has a low flavour profile making it ideal for consuming large volumes on the go without causing stomach upset or flavour fatigue. CNP Race Drink is a revolutionary energy drink developed in association with Team Sky. Its combination of Neutral pH and very mild flavour allows riders to consume large quantities without the usual flavour fatigue and stomach issues whilst still delivering essential energy and hydration. As an endurance athlete CNP recommend that you consume between 60-90g of carbohydrate per hour to ensure you remain suitably fuelled for performance. By eating correctly during exercise you will perform better, recover more quickly and become leaner. When used as part of a weight loss strategy it is vital that your body is not starved during exercise to ensure you continue burning fat and carbohydrate. Usage Instructions CNP think it works best if you add 2 level scoops (22g) to 500ml of cold water and mix. Ensure you drink at least 500ml per hour during exercise.Check stock and price

One of my favourite bands of the last five years or so Deerhunter (pictured) return with their first album since 2010's fine effort Halcyon Digest. The new one from the US art-rocking five piece is called Monomania and is due in early May. They recently shared the title track from the album – it can be heard at youtu.be/bYUENZQ84-E. Whereas Halcyon Digest was a relatively controlled, polished affair, here they sound a bit more unhinged and jagged, particularly in final movements as the song spins off into some wild noise. I'm pretty much happy to stick with them whatever move they make, so I'm excited to see how this record turns out.
Cat's soulful take on Manhattan
Cat Power has co-directed, with the help of music video/commercials maker Greg Hunt, a lovely video for her track "Manhattan", from last year's excellent Sun LP. Just as the song itself is a gorgeous, melancholy but unsentimental ode to the island borough, so too the video is an irresistible tribute to the town. There's nothing particularly groundbreaking going in these visuals of Power essentially larking and travelling around but anyone with a soft spot for the city will be swept away. As Stereogum.com remarked on seeing it, "Every city deserves its own video just like this one" (ind.pn/10PbJ4a). Watch it at catpowermusic.com and huntfilmwork.com. The singer also took the track to perform on Jimmy Fallon's chat show in the US. Showing a Dylan-like tendency to reinterpret her work, she paired her backing band with two members of The Roots (Fallon's house band) including master-drummer ?uestlove for a percussion heavy version of the song. Watch it at ind.pn/10PbrKN.
First release from a music-making website
The excellent UK music website TheQuietus.com recently branched out into making music itself with its record label The Quietus Phonographic Corporation. Next week their first 12-inch release arrives in the shape of the debut EP by 22-year-old William Doyle, who goes by the name East India Youth. The four-track EP Hostel, full of moody art-pop with synth and krautrock flourishes, has been available since early March on iTunes at ind.pn/12COPAY and on boomkat at ind.pn/10PaHFx.

FAN FEST | Maggie Dixon Heart Health Fair/Fan Fest/Blue-Gold Scrimmage Story |
PITTSBURGH--Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl issued a proclamation declaring tomorrow, Saturday, October 22, 2011, "Maggie Dixon Day" in the city.
The proclamation praises Pitt Head Basketball Coach Jamie Dixon, the University of Pittsburgh and the Maggie Dixon Foundation for the charitable work being completed to promote a heart healthy lifestyle, awareness of sudden cardiac death and the need for early diagnosis and preventative treatment.
In the proclamation, Ravenstahl states, "I commend Maggie Dixon's family and friends for their efforts to save lives on behalf of their loved one and raise awareness in such a pertinent manner."
Maggie Dixon was the spirited, passionate and successful head coach of the Army Black Knights women's basketball team. In 2006, she guided her team to its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Just weeks later, Maggie died suddenly due to a heart arrhythmia at the age of 28.
On Saturday, Pitt will hold its third annual Maggie Dixon Heart Health Fair, Fan Fest and Blue-Gold Scrimmage at the Petersen Events Center. Presented by Starkist, The Fan Fest and Maggie Dixon Heart Health Fair begins at 2:30 p.m., while tipoff for the Blue-Gold Scrimmage is at 5 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public. Seating is general admission and free parking is available in the OC Lot beginning at 1:30 p.m.

Political Pressure Bears Fruit on Holders of Second Liens
WASHINGTON-Congressional and governmental pressure to force servicers into modifying and reducing the principal on troubled second mortgages is having its desired effect.
Thanks to some well-placed political heat, the nation's top four ranked servicers of residential loans have vowed to Congress that they are already using-or will soon use-principal reductions to help struggling homeowners, but on a case-by-case basis.
The four-Wells Fargo, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and CitiMortgage-are now on the record saying they support recent changes to the government's Home Affordable Modification Program and its fledging second-lien modification program (2MP). Combined, the four control 60% of the receivables market in the U.S., according to figures compiled by this newspaper and the Quarterly Data Report.
"We expect these changes will result in more principal reductions going forward," said Sanjiv Das, president and chief executive of Citi Mortgage.
House Financial Services Committee chairman Barney Frank, D-Mass., recently summoned executives of the four to Capitol Hill. For well over a year the chairman has been complaining that the banks were an obstacle to modifying first mortgages because they would not modify or take a writedown on seconds held in their massive portfolios.
Two Democratic congressmen recently introduced a bill that would prohibit banks from servicing first mortgages if they hold a second lien on the same property. Democratic Reps. Brad Miller (N.C.) and Keith Ellison (Minn.) contend the servicers are reluctant to modify certain loans because of this "irreconcilable conflict of interest."
Wells Fargo Home Mortgage co-president Michael Heid testified that his company has completed 50,000 principal forgiveness mods as the first-lien holder in 2009. "We did not condition that based upon what the second-lien holder did," he added. In opposing the Miller-Ellison bill, Heid said all servicers have an obligation to service the first mortgage appropriately. "I do not believe it is appropriate to legislate this matter."
Under questioning from Chairman Frank, the executives testified that they will accept proportional mods on their second liens under the new 2MP guidelines when the first is modified or the principal is reduced.
Bank of America Home Loans' president Barbara Desoer noted that new 2MP guidelines issued in late March do not specially require principal reduction. However, principal reduction is part of the program's internal "logic," she said. "Our recommendation is to further advance the 2MP from principal forbearance on a shared percentage basis across the first and the second-to principal forgiveness."
David Lowman, chief executive of Chase Home Lending, also agreed to modify or reduce the principal on Chase second liens in proportion to the first mortgage. Chase has offered 54,000 second-lien borrowers a mod in 2009 and 12,000 are now permanent.
Lowman said Chase is using principal reductions to help borrowers who are current on their conventional loans refinance into Federal Housing Administration-insured loans. This summer, Chase will offer delinquent borrowers a refi option through the FHA Hope for Homeowners program if they need a principal reduction or a second lien extinguished. Chase also is developing a principal reduction program for payment-option borrowers and conducting targeted tests to see if principal reduction is effective for "other high-risk borrowers," Lowman said.
"Once we observe the results of these tests, we will be able to better evaluate the effectiveness of a broader principal reduction program," the Chase executive said. Frank was quite pleased by the testimony. He noted that calling a hearing can produce results.

text: A big question was brought up on 20/20 tonight. Where does all the $ go that donors send to various ministeries? and is it being spent foolishly or wisely. A ministry known as Ministry Watch (www.ministrywatch.com) keeps a close eye on how well known ministries handle their bucks . Their site is definatley worth checking out, but make sure to read more than the ratings and the grades to get a clear understanding of how each ministry operates. My only question is who is watching the cash flow of 'Ministry Watch' ministries?

11th and 12th Grade / CAS Programme
CAS, Creativity, Activity and Service, is one of 3 essential elements in every student's Diploma Programme. CAS enables students to enhance their personal and interpersonal learning through experiential learning while counterbalancing their academic programme. Every student will have different goals and will approach the CAS activities differently.
9th and 10th Grade / Pre-CAS
The purpose of the 9th and 10th grade Pre-CAS is to encourage and enable you to learn by doing hands-on tasks that have real consequences for the community, and then reflecting on these experiences over time. Pre-CAS serves as training for the more challenging CAS requirement that you will need to complete in 11th and 12th grades.
As you carry out Pre-CAS work, you should not simply be thinking of it as "accumulating hours" or "scoring points". You should find your activities interesting, worthwhile, and beneficial to yourself and the community.
You are NOT fulfilling the purpose of Pre-CAS if you are:
Playing a passive role while doing your activity.
Accepting money for the activity that you do.
Helping a member of your family.
Doing an activity without a leader or responsible adult to evaluate you.
You need to complete a minimum of 35 hours of service in 9th grade, and a minimum of 35 hours of service in 10th grade. All service ideas must be discussed with Mr. Dean prior to beginning the activity. All authorized service must be logged in your journal and signed by a leader or responsible adult with the number of hours. Your journal must be turned in to Mr. Dean at the end of each trimester.
If you do not turn in your journal, you have not fulfilled the 35 hour requirement.
Pre-CAS gives the opportunity to break down some of the barriers between us and our host community, and, above all, the chance to serve others less fortunate than ourselves. You may wish to volunteer your services in a home for the elderly, or for disabled children, fundraising for Corri La Vita, participate to Angelo per un Giorno or join a group of students in cleaning up the city with Angeli del Bello. You can be actively involved with international service organizations such as UNICEF, WWF, Amnesty International, Green Peace, etc. There are many options for you to do your part in the community.
You may also create your own Pre-CAS project, so long as it has been approved by Mrs. Vieillard, and can be evaluated.

Notes: Thanks to everyone who has read, reviewed, and/or offered plot help! I have thoroughly enjoyed this venture. I have another mystery in mind, a spooky one for Halloween that will feature Mignon Germaine from The Fatal Fetish (probably my most favorite episode). I hope you will follow me to that venture, as well as to continue dropping in at my blog, Parkavenuebeat, at Blogger.
The next hours were a whirlwind of activity. While the police and Hamilton worked through the confusing mess left by Bartlett's wickedness, Perry was taken to the hospital to have his wound examined and properly treated. He was discharged an hour later with the admonition to rest at home. Paul drove him back, with Della in tow.
"I've gotta say, Perry, you're lucky on a lot of counts," Paul said, shaking his head. "That wound could have gotten infected, with all the beating it took." As it was, it had torn a bit, requiring stitches. But that was preferable to the alternative.
"I know," Perry frowned. "I suppose I have to be grateful that it was bandaged at least, no matter how sloppy the job."
"I guess," Paul said.
"Oh no!" Della gasped without warning.
Both men blinked in surprise. "What is it, Della?" Perry asked.
"I forgot," Della berated. "Perry, I'm afraid your apartment's been left in a terrible mess."
Perry leaned back. "That's alright," he said. "I'll worry about it later."
"You won't worry about it at all," Della said firmly. "You'll go to bed, like the doctor ordered. I'll take care of everything."
"Now wait just a minute," Perry interjected. "You need to rest too. I can see how exhausted you are. Both of you," he added, glancing to Paul.
"I slept for a while in the hotel room," Della said. "I won't hear of any more arguments about it."
Knowing it was useless to protest, Perry finally just smiled his consent. "Alright. But at least promise you'll take a break when you do get tired."
Della smiled. "Check."
The apartment was in quite a mess, as Della had feared. Paul pulled down the yellow Crime Scene tape across the doorway, allowing Perry to reach and unlock the door.
Della cringed at the sight of the overturned furniture and the scattered glasses on the coffee table. Worst of all, there was still some blood on the floor.
Perry surveyed the room with a frown. "They did quite a number on my living room," he said.
Della shook her head, hanging her coat on the rack. "It was horrible when we came and found this," she said quietly. Seeing the blood especially reawakened her alarmed and sickened feelings.
Sensing that now would be a good time to give them some time alone, Paul headed for the bathroom. "I'll just . . . get some stuff to start cleaning this up," he volunteered.
Perry glanced his way. "Thank you, Paul," he said.
Once Paul slipped out of the room Perry turned his attention to Della. "I'm sorry you were put through this," he said. The genuine regret was clear in his eyes and voice.
Della looked up at him. "Lieutenant Tragg came to my apartment late last night," she said. "He . . . he told me about your neighbor finding your door open and the room in such a mess. Then he brought me out here and I saw . . ." She turned away, slowly walking past him. She stared at the blood for a moment, then spun back around to face him. "I saw this on the floor and I was so afraid of what had happened to you!"
She shook her head. "This is what I've been fearing for so long now." She lowered her voice. "It was bad enough when you were threatened on the phone those weeks back. I was so thankful that they hadn't actually wanted to hurt you that time. And now this . . . !"
Perry stepped closer to her. "Della . . ." He placed his hands on her shoulders. She looked up again, her eyes glistening. "I was afraid too. Bartlett kept telling me that he was sending his hitmen after everyone—you, Paul, Hamilton, Tragg. . . . Then his device blinked green and he told me in no uncertain terms that someone had been attacked. He hoped it had been you." He drew a deep breath. "I was holding a gun on him that I had taken from Barlow Travis. I came so close to pulling the trigger. . . ."
Della stiffened, stunned. That was not at all what she had thought she would hear. Perry had almost shot Bartlett in his anger and hatred? Bartlett had managed to drag him to that level? Very few people could have enraged Perry to that extent. Bartlett was a despicable man.
"I'm glad you didn't," she said.
"So am I," Perry admitted. "But at the time I thought there was nothing I could want more than to squeeze the trigger and stop his sadistic, unfeeling taunts. Even if I had, it wouldn't have stopped his men."
"And then you would have gone to prison." Della shuddered at the thought.
"Bartlett taunted me with that, too," Perry frowned. "He is a disturbed man. I wonder whether he's even competent to stand trial."
"I hope he is." A bit of anger crept into Della's voice now. "I hate to think of him getting off easy because he's declared insane. Even though I can't think that someone like that could have his right mind."
Perry sighed. "Well, we'll know soon enough." He glanced around. "Isn't Paul taking a long time?"
As if on cue, Paul came back into the room with an armload of cleaning supplies. "Right here, kids," he said. "It took me a while to find everything."
Della smiled. "Oh really."
"Yes, really." Paul set everything down on the floor. "You just go to bed now, Perry. We'll have this place fixed up by the time you're awake."
"Alright." Perry headed for the bedroom. "Thank you, Paul, Della."
Della watched him go, then looked back to Paul getting started on the floor. "I'm going to take care of these glasses," she said. "I don't know about you, but I don't relish drinking out of them after someone like Bartlett touched them."
"You're going to wash them all?" Paul blinked.
Della nodded. "It won't take long," she said as she gathered them up. "Anyway, they were all dusted for fingerprints, too."
"That's true," Paul mused. "I wouldn't want to drink that stuff."
True to their promise, Della and Paul had the apartment in order within a couple of hours. The only thing they had not taken care of was the wall where the stray bullet had entered. But Paul had determined to see about that once Perry was awake and would not be bothered by the noise.
After Paul had left to get some well-earned rest of his own, Della sank onto the couch. She gazed around the room, thoughtful and at peace.
The horror was over. Perry was safe here, where he belonged. Bartlett was in jail, where he belonged. Hamilton had called Della not long ago to tell her that everyone who had assisted in Bartlett's plot was now either in jail, in the hospital under police watch, or at the morgue. He had also asked about Perry's condition.
"He's doing just fine," Della had told him. "He's resting now, finally. I'm sure he'd like to see you later on."
Hamilton had said that he and Tragg might stop by in the evening to check on Perry and bring him up-to-date on the case. Della had hung up with a smile.
Now she slipped out of her shoes, easing herself down on the soft couch. At last she could rest.
It was some time later when Perry wandered out of his bedroom, having just awakened from a much-needed sleep. The living room looked great, he noted as he took it in. Della and Paul had been working hard.
At the sight of Della asleep on the couch he paused, watching her for a moment. She looked so tired.
He disappeared for a moment into the bedroom. When he returned, he was holding a spare blanket. He draped it over Della gently, quietly, taking care not to wake her. Then, silently, he returned to the bedroom.
"I have to say, this has been one of the most heart-stopping days I've had in all my years on the police force."
Hamilton glanced across the restaurant's table at Lieutenant Tragg. "You're not kidding," he said. "We've rarely had to deal with someone as out of touch with reality as Trevor Bartlett."
"Although Donald Rite was up there with the nutcases as well," Tragg mused.
"Don't remind me," Hamilton said dryly. He sighed. "Bartlett is going to be evaluated by at least three police psychiatrists in the next couple of weeks."
"You'd think they'd find him unfit to stand trial," Tragg remarked. "But I honestly can't say I believe that's what will happen. After all this time I've learned to expect anything and everything."
Hamilton nodded. "Same here."
He glanced at his watch. "I wonder if Perry's up yet," he said. "He'd want to know the latest."
"Well, you did mention dropping by tonight," Tragg said. "Why don't you call over there and find out if it's alright?"
Hamilton was already getting out his phone. "I'll do that," he said. "Excuse me a minute." He stood up, walking away from the table.
Perry answered after the first ring. "Hello?"
Hamilton blinked in surprise. He had not expected Perry to be the one to answer the telephone. "Hello, Perry," he greeted. "I didn't wake you, did I?"
"No, I've been awake for a while now," Perry returned. "How are you, Hamilton?"
"I'm fine. Look, Perry . . . Tragg and I were wondering if you'd feel up to having us come over—just for a few minutes—to talk about what happened with the case after you left."
"I'd like that very much," Perry said.
"Good," Hamilton said. "We'll be over soon, then." But he hesitated, not ending the conversation.
Perry waited patiently a moment. "Is there something else you wanted, Hamilton?" he queried at last.
Awkward, Hamilton started to attention. "Oh. Sorry, Perry. I was . . . well, I was just thinking that we didn't have much time to talk before. I wanted to tell you that I'm glad you're alright."
Surprised at first, Perry quickly recovered. "Why, thank you, Hamilton. I know you and the others were working hard to find me. I'm sure I wouldn't have been discovered if it hadn't been for your collective efforts."
"I'm just grateful things turned out as well as they did," Hamilton said. "Tragg was right; we were worried out of our minds."
"You were excellent at keeping hold of your minds, under the circumstances," Perry said.
"We did our best." Hamilton glanced over his shoulder at Tragg, who was idly looking at the menu again.
"I hope you're alright," Perry said now. "Della told me what happened to you. It could have been serious."
"It isn't," Hamilton was quick to interject. "It's just a small bump. The headaches are gone now." As soon as the words were out of his mouth he winced. He had not meant to say that!
"I should hope so," Perry said. His concerned frown was obvious, even over the phone.
"Well, we'll see you in a few minutes," Hamilton said.
"Fine. Della and Paul and I will be waiting," Perry smiled.
Hamilton hung up and went back to the table. Curious, Tragg looked to him. "Well?"
"It's a good time to go over," Hamilton reported.
Tragg nodded. "Then we'll go as soon as we finish," he said. "By the way, what were you and Perry discussing over there? It must have been more than just appointment times."
"Perry just wanted to know how I'm doing," Hamilton hurriedly put in.
"I see," Tragg said. "That's thoughtful." From his tone and smile, he knew there was more to it. But he would not pry.
Hamilton nodded, returning his attention to the remainder of his dinner.
"I still don't get it."
Perry, resting comfortably on his living room couch in a robe and slippers, looked up as Paul spoke. "What don't you get, Paul?" he asked, reaching for a glass on the end table. As promised, Hamilton and Tragg had stopped in for a while. There were still loose ends to tie up, so they had gathered in the living room to relax and talk.
"What was going on between Iola Van Pelt and Barlow Travis," Paul said. "Why would she trust him? In fact, why didn't he want to say why she trusted him?"
"It would've taken too long," Hamilton said.
Paul shot him an incredulous look. "Too long? Couldn't he just say if they were lovers or something?"
"But they weren't 'lovers or something'," Perry said. "It was much more complicated than that. You yourself helped put some of the pieces together, Paul."
Paul sighed. "I know. And even at that, I'm still confused."
"Marlene Travis was secretly married to Daniel Van Pelt shortly before her death," Tragg said. "They had a child, a girl. When Marlene was murdered, Daniel took the child with him. He kept her hidden until after he married Linda. Then they agreed to pass the girl off as theirs. Other than a few suspicious reporters, it worked."
"That child was the grandmother of Iola Van Pelt," Della said. "Iola looked like Marlene because Marlene was her great-grandmother."
"Meanwhile, Marlene's sister married a man and they settled down," Perry said. "They divorced, and she went back to using her maiden name. But by that time she had a child, a boy."
"And he carried on the Travis name," Hamilton put in. "He was the father of the Travis brothers Benjamin and Barlow."
Paul shook his head. "I don't know how genealogists do it," he said. "I can barely keep it all straight."
"It gets even more complicated," Perry said. "Barlow knew about the family secret and the connection with the Van Pelts. He always carried a locket that his grandmother had given him, a locket with a picture of his grandmother's sister."
"Marlene," Paul said. "But wait a minute! The only print they got off that locket was that hitman's, Martin Bradshaw's!"
"That puzzled us too," Tragg said. "But Barlow explained it. According to his statement, he lost the locket several months ago. It was returned to him by Bradshaw shortly before Bradshaw's death. They did know each other; they had been friends before Bradshaw became a career killer. Then, when Barlow and Bartlett kidnapped Perry, Barlow deliberately left the locket as a red herring, knowing that Bradshaw's fingerprints were on it."
"And that sent us on a wild-goose chase for several hours," Hamilton said in irritation. "He wanted us to think Bradshaw had some posthumous connection to the case."
"Yes," Perry nodded. "Anyway, one day Barlow ran into Iola Van Pelt and he couldn't believe it. She was the spitting image of the woman in his locket. He started talking to her and he realized they were related. When he was sure she would believe him, he told her of their families' history.
"There was never anything romantic between them. They were good friends who felt they had a connection to each other through their families."
"And then Trevor Bartlett went off the deep end and wanted Barlow to help him with his scheme," Hamilton put in. "He knew that Barlow's friendship with Iola Van Pelt would come in handy, provided he could trick Iola into helping them get hold of the technology and the money they needed."
"Unfortunately for Iola, she fell for it completely," Tragg said. "From what Barlow's told us, he told her that his friend needed a quiet place to perfect a new invention of his. He wanted complete solitude, but needed a way to contact people occasionally. The satellite transmitters would be ideal. So would the basement of the Brent building. Iola remembered that location because Altec had installed a security system there."
"Only she didn't know Bartlett wanted the security room," Hamilton said. "She thought he wanted some empty room in the back."
"Of course, he wanted all of it," Perry said. "And she arranged for everyone working in the basement levels to take a couple of days off. Barlow told her that was all his friend would need."
"What a set-up," Paul said in disgust.
"What about the room in that house?" Della wondered. "The one where we found Mr. Burger?"
"That was Daniel Van Pelt's doing," Perry said. "He was still alive, albeit an old man, when the Altec Corporation bought that house. He wanted a special room devoted to his wife. And so he set up the secret room to resemble the 1930s, when they were married. After his death, others in the family kept up the room. He had finally told his secret to them and only them. He didn't want it to get out elsewhere because he didn't want a lot of scandal and publicity in his old age."
"And Iola told Barlow about the room," Paul deduced.
"That's right," Hamilton said. "When I stumbled in there by accident, Barlow was there with one of Bartlett's lackeys. They'd been sent after us by Bartlett."
Perry nodded. "They were worried that the puzzle pieces would start adding up if you took that picture of Marlene. So the unknown man jumped out at you."
"And once I was distracted with the fight, Barlow hit me from behind," Hamilton said, annoyed.
"I still don't understand about the inscription on the picture," Della said. "'A true light never goes out.' Was it some kind of code?"
"No, Della. Not this time," Perry said. "Davidson Van Pelt explained it. As Daniel told it to him, Marlene was referring to the true light of their love. That photograph was one of the last things she gave him before her death."
"And that case is still unsolved," Paul said.
"Perhaps you should take a crack at it sometime, Perry," Tragg said.
Perry smiled. "Perhaps sometime I will," he said. "Strangely enough, that inscription on the picture still holds true today. It was their love that helped so many of these pieces come together."
"I guess that's true," Paul said. "And then there's also the unsolved murder of Benjamin Travis. That didn't have anything to do with this, did it?"
"Oh, it's not unsolved anymore," Tragg said. "Bartlett finally admitted that Gladys Thorn killed him and left that Fin message with the glasses. He said something about Benjamin having learned that she was a manipulative and dangerous person, and before he could warn the person she was currently using, she killed him."
"And just who was she currently using?" Perry asked.
"Barlow Travis," Tragg said.
Paul shook his head. "Talk about tangled webs and what goes around comes around."
Della walked over near the couch. "Well, I say what comes around now is that Perry needs to rest," she said. "He's had a long day."
"Oh, I'm alright now, Della," Perry said. "I'd say all of you need the rest. You barely had any sleep because you were looking for me."
"It has been a long day," Tragg mused. "And tomorrow we'll have to sort through more of the puzzle pieces."
"My office has already started proceedings against Trevor Bartlett and Barlow Travis," Hamilton said. He looked to Perry. "Are you going to feel up to testifying when their cases go to trial, Perry?"
"Yes," Perry nodded. "I wouldn't miss it. You know, it's strange."
"What is?" Paul wondered.
Perry's smile turned a bit mischievous. "I believe it will be the first time I've ever willingly testified for the prosecution!"

Lord Healey can add a line to his CV - that of liaison between the IRD, the Labour Party and trade unionists worldwide. The BBC is revealed to have been eager - for a time - to act as an outlet for a government message disguised as "news". Stephen Spender and Bertrand Russell, meanwhile, are incorrectly identified as having "key roles" in the skulduggery.
Behind all this, however, the documents tell us something bigger, a poignant tale about Britain and the Cold War. For in this one area and for a fleeting few years it was the British who led the way in the struggle against the Soviet Union. Military and economic power might be the domain of the United States, but it was the Attlee government that first took arms in the battle for "hearts and minds" in the West as well as the East.
The CIA later became notorious for supporting almost any kind of organisation, reputable or not, that would criticise Moscow; the Boston Philharmonic, the US Olympic team, and even the Yale Glee Club were secretly funded to promote the American way of life. But these techniques were used first by the IRD. Two years before the US launched its propaganda offensive against Moscow, the IRD had its network up and running.
It was established in 1948, when the Foreign Secretary, Ernest Bevin, told the Cabinet: "By giving a spiritual lead now we ... will show clearly that we are not subservient to the United States or to the Soviet Union." His idea was to fight communism by spreading the ideals of British democracy, with a Labour flavour.
The existence and activities of this instrument of spiritual leadership, however, had to remain secret, partly because the word "propaganda" was widely associated with the Nazis. Instead, while the IRD churned out highly selective literature tailored to official objectives, its output was presented as the considered opinion of free-thinking individuals or bodies.
The BBC and friendly newspapers carried stories told by the IRD's eastern European contacts. MPs gratefully relied on IRD "speaker's notes" to guide them on the content of their speeches. Authors paraphrased IRD reports about "communist methods of infiltration into political, social and economic life".
A good example of this work, revealed in the papers opened last week, was Freedom First, a Trades Union Congress newsletter funded by the IRD through the simple trick of buying copies from the TUC at a grossly inflated price. These were then distributed abroad. "Such an arrangement," wrote Christopher Mayhew, the Foreign Office minister who oversaw the IRD, "would enable us to give Mr Tracey [the editor] financial support and, at the same time, preserve the non-official nature of the paper." Mr (now Lord) Mayhew also thoughtfully arranged for the IRD to provide the editorial content for this "non-official" TUC organ.
The IRD was so clever at this that it believed it should be telling the impetuous Americans what to do. Christopher Warner, the Assistant Secretary supervising the IRD, warned that at one stage the US was "thinking of stirring up the people behind the Iron Curtain". Britain had to curb the quest for liberation because it was "quite unable to give [eastern Europeans] any support if they indulge in subversive action. Apart from the moral aspect, this would be liable to have a very bad effect on British prestige".
By the end of 1948 IRD material was reaching all corners of the world. Meanwhile, the US propaganda effort was still in its infancy. Warner noted, with both pride and regret, that the State Department had nothing "corresponding to the IRD's basic papers".
This did not last. No bold message about British leadership and the Labour way could obscure London's increasing dependence on the US through Marshall aid and organisations such as Nato. The IRD had pounds 100,000 for its mission; once the CIA finally organised its campaigns, it had millions.
By the 1950s the IRD was a pale shadow of the CIA propaganda machine and was turning its fire upon other, lesser, opponents: Nasser in Egypt, Kenyatta in Kenya, Sukarno in Indonesia, even, in its final days, the student protesters in 1968.
Four days before the IRD's creation, Attlee had told the country of a Britain that would avoid the extremes of the US and the Soviet Union: "Our task is to work out a system of a new and challenging kind, which combines individual freedom with a planned economy, democracy with social justice."
Whatever the rights or wrongs of the IRD's covert techniques, the real tragedy was the failure of this mission. It would be the US, with its own propaganda means and ends, that would define the image of the Free World.

Controversies in Management by Alan Berkeley Thomas
Book DescriptionAs managerial roles diversify, the phenomenon of management becomes increasingly puzzling. Demand for formal management training, theories and qualifications has increased, yet our ability to think critically about management has diminished. At a time of organizational and environmental turbulence, the question of effective management is more complex than ever. Unpicking the puzzles faced by both the manager and the student of management, this introductory guide explores the major issues of management, organization and knowledge, asking questions of our 'guru' culture and raising debates on so-called expert thinking. Written from the viewpoint that the most effective managers are those that can think for themselves and put aside the advice of the management 'guru', it is a topical, challenging and thought-provoking study. Thoroughly revised and reorganized, this second edition features two completely new chapters that cover gender issues in management, debates on globalization, post-modernity and the future of management. Designed to bring readers into the debate, rather than simply providing a framework of answers, this new edition also includes an orientation questionnaire, discussion questions for each area covered and further reading suggestions.

Copyright issues ?[edit]
- I notice much of the material in the article is taken directly from [1], although the article doesn't mention weither it has permission to use the material. MadMax 22:32, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
- I belive we are clear of CV. The facts have been rewritten sufficiently that the expression is no longer in conflict with the copyrighted material. RJFJR 18:43, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Due to the copyright violation issues, and an OTRS complaint, I have deleted the article. If an editor is willing to completely from-scratch rewrite the sections which were originally lifted from http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix3/shamrockcoc.htm cleanly then the article is restorable or recreatable without further ado, but it MUST have the copyright violation content removed if you do that. Georgewilliamherbert 08:15, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
The Marvel Comics Presents tale was fairly clear when suggesting that Shamrock's powers were actually supernatural. Do we have any source to cite for the statement that she's actually a mutant? --Mrph 20:33, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Oops! Looks like previous editor(s) had borrowed a little too much from the Marvel Universe Appendix site and got this one deleted. I'll re-write it eventually (if no one else gets to it first), this time without using that site at all. :) BOZ 20:20, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

What started as an online masterpiece, will now be making it's way for television. Unfortunately it's not a sequel, but the original Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog that will be on CW on Tuesday, October 9 (9-10pm ET).
Joss Whedon created the three-part online musical in 2008. It stars Neil Patrick Harris, Felicia Day, and Nathan Fillion. All in hilarious roles. Neil Patrick Harris plays Dr. Horrible who is trying to get accepted into he Evil League of Evil. Of course with Nathan Fillion as his superhero arch nemesis, Captain Hammer, hilarity ensues.
If you haven't seen it yet, tune in. If you have seen it, tune in. Either way support for Joss Whedon on TV can only lead to more Joss Whedon ideas on TV. And we can only hope for more Dr. Horrible.
