J.M. Krumbine is the author of the unique and wisecracking Alex Cheradon Series, the dead-soul hunting Grym Brothers Series as well as the tongue-in-cheek paranormal romance A Graveyard Romance.
Mr. Krumbine is currently promoting his latest book, a romantic suspense novel, titled Outlawed Love. Readers can learn more about him and his work by visiting his website, Facebook and Twitter.
Please tell us a bit about your book, Outlawed Love, and what you hope readers take away from reading it.
Outlawed Love is a pulse-pounding, heart-racing, thrill-a-minute, action adventure love story for both men and women! U.S. Marshal Kate Sharpe is responsible for transporting Kyle Archer from the courthouse to the jailhouse. The question of course is, can she do it with losing her life or her heart?
I hope that my readers walk away from Outlawed Love with that warm fuzzy feeling you get after watching a really good movie or reading really fun book. This is pop entertainment and the goal is to entertain!
Who are your favorite characters in the story?
Kate's probably my favorite character in the book. As the lead and the heroine she gets to do all the cool stuff! Plus, she does all her own stunts.
Do you have a favorite line or excerpt from your book?
I'm really proud of the opening, which I think just reaches out and grabs you:
Kaitlyn Sharpe was falling.
She dropped through the air like a lead weight. Her mother would have a field day with that.
The airplane above her was slowly shrinking in the distance as it remained at its cruising altitude of 45,000 feet.
The wind stung her eyes and her vision blurred as they began to water. The sound of air rushing past her was deafening. She tumbled through the clear blue sky, not a cloud in sight, the sun beating at her back.
Kate fell and she was not alone.
Between her arms was a man. A man who she was supposed to protect.
The irony did not escape her.
She could feel his muscular physique tense as they tumbled through the air. When was the last time she had been this close to a man? She couldn't remember. Despite their peril, she couldn't deny the electric exhilaration of being so close to such an attractive man.
On the plus side, at least she couldn't smell him anymore. It wasn't a cologne, she was sure of that. But whatever it was, he smelled good.
"I don't mean to alarm you," he shouted over the sound of the rushing air as he twisted in her grip. Even now his voice still had that smooth, inviting charm to it. It was the voice of an unflappable man. He couldn't point, his hands were still cuffed, so he tried to nod over her shoulder, "but that last bullet tore up the parachute!"
Kate looked over her shoulder and sure enough, the parachute was trailing behind them limply. It flapped about uselessly, at the mercy of Mother Nature.
"Don't worry!" she looked past the parachute at the black man who had jumped after them. His arms were pressed firmly to his sides as he angled himself like a human bullet. His face was set with a determined look. He had a job to do and he aimed to finish it. "I have a plan!"
If your current release were to be turned into a movie, who would you love to see play what characters and why?
I think Rachel McAdams might play a good Kate Sharpe. She can go from sensitive to tough-as-nails in the blink of an eye. And for Kyle Archer, maybe Ryan Gosling? I think he meets all the hunk credentials for the role. Of course, now this is turning into a Notebook reunion…
What are your favorite aspects of writing?
Making stuff up. It's my own private little universe between these book covers and I get to make up whatever I want. It's exhilarating.
Your least favorite aspects of writing?
The end. After spending several months with these characters, you just don't want to let them go!
Who are some of your favorite authors/books?
I'm a big fan of Stephen King. Aaron Sorkin and Jasper Fforde are also writers I follow regularly.
What are you reading right now?
I'm trying out the Sookie Stackhouse books.
If you could have a dinner party and invite five authors – dead or alive – who would they be and what would you serve them?
Stephen King, Aaron Sorkin, Jasper Fforde, Brian Michael Bendis and Joss Whedon. They are my five favorite authors. I would just love to pick their brains and talk craft with them.
What is a book that you wish you could say that you had written and why?
Well, I wish I had written Outlawed Love because it really was an exciting book. So rarely do I read a book that just doesn't let up. It was a refreshing change of pace. Oh, wait, I did write that one… ?
What is the greatest piece of advice (for writing and/or just living) that you have heard?
No rules, just write.Powered by Sidelines

Inflation is a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services that households acquire for the purpose of consumption in an economy over a period of time.Read more
PPPs are the rates of currency conversion that equalize the purchasing power of different currencies by eliminating the differences in price levels between countries. In their simplest form, PPPs are simply price relatives that show the ratio of the prices in national currencies of the same good or service in different countries.Read more
This second edition of the SPPI Guide is a complement to the International Producer Price Index Manual published by the IMF in 2004 in two ways: it focuses on service-specific aspects in the PPI compilation by developing further the conceptual framework and it adds detailed descriptions of PPI measurement for a wide range of individual service industries.Read more
New international comparisons of GDP and consumption based on purchasing power parities for the year 2014
GDP at current PPPs
06/02/2017 - The OECD, in partnership with Eurostat, has calculated new benchmark purchasing power parities (PPPs) for GDP and final consumption for the year 2014 for 47 countries following a common methodology.
Detailed 2014 PPP benchmark results are available at http://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=PPP2014. They include PPPs, price level indices and associated indicators for some 50 categories of goods and services.

The big question, of course, was in who's up and who's down. (Teachers, bank managers, police and prison officers have risen, while shop assistants, hairdressers and plasterers have fallen in the socio-economic league tables.) But that is not the most interesting bit.
Given the exponential changes in the British economy since the official categories were drawn up for the 1911 census, some such changes in the pecking order of individual jobs was inevitable. But, though there have been several such modifications in official categories since then, the essential demarcation of the population into classes which Marx would happily have embraced - professional and plebeian, white-collar and manual, skilled and unskilled - has remained unchanged. Until now.
Yesterday, the National Statistics Office unveiled an entirely revised set of socio-economic classifications. The new gradings reveal the rise and rise of the middle class who make up 60 per cent of the population now (compared with 51 per cent in 1984). They also reflect the shift from manufacturing to services: the cleaner has replaced the coal miner as the archetypal manual worker; shop assistants now constitute the largest single occupation group (about 3 per cent of the population) and a staggering 1 per cent of the workforce are now employed in telephone call centres.
The new categories also take account of the increased role in the workplace of women, who today occupy 18 per cent of all professional posts (compared with 4 per cent in 1984) and have only now been categorised for the first time in their own right rather than according to their husband's job. The new class system also includes a new rank - the self-employed individual or small firm owner.
Which is where Viscount Linley comes in. He may be 12th in line to the throne but because his job is that of cabinet-maker he is now down there in class 5 with all the other "lower supervisory, craft and related occupations". Unless, that is, his firm employs anyone else, in which case he moves up just one step to class 4.
Professor David Rose, the Essex University sociologist who led the team which drew up the system, sighed wearily at this point. Cabinet-makers are generally not members of the aristocracy, he declared, but the sons of working class fathers. "We surveyed 65,000 people across 371 occupations to create the new tables. Do you believe them or some anecdotal exception, he said. "Socio-economic class has nothing to do with social standing."
You could have fooled the rest of us. Class in Britain may be less hidebound than of yore but it is still tangled up in a complex nexus of prejudice and experience. It is not simply socio-economic but is rather about how cultures accrete through the generations. It is bound up, too, with self- perception, with the groups we belong to, the clubs we join and even the religions we embrace. Class is at once, when we are feeling traditional, about hierarchy and stability and, when we come over political, about conflict and change.
It is wider too than the marketing classifications which see social grade as co-terminus with spending power in their A, B, C1, C2, D, E lexicon. And yet the nature of our employment has a greater impact upon the chances we have in life than almost anything else, which is why occupation remains at the heart of the new system.
But there is a subtle shift. It is not based on earnings. (On average someone in the new class one earns only 2.3 times more than someone in class seven). Rather it is concerned with employment conditions like job security, salary increments, sick pay, non-financial perks and the amount of control the individual has over their workload. It is because of deteriorations in these criteria, compared with those of other jobs previously categorised as non-manual social class III, that check-out operators and sales assistants have found themselves sliding down the slippery socio-economic pole.
In any case the purpose of the official categories is not social but to assist governments in working out how to counter blackspots in health, education, crime and so forth, so that resources may be better targeted. It is still the case that men in the lowest category, class 7, are three and a half times more likely to die from a stroke than men in class 1 - they were also twice as likely to die from cancer, five and a half times from an accident and four and a half times more likely to commit suicide.
No statistics - on health or otherwise - are provided for those in the "never worked" and "long-term unemployed" category. Professor Rose's report wanted to place them in a class of their own. But the Government has decided against a class eight. The argument was that it would be too difficult to find a definition which would describe them all circumstances.
It might, of course, also draw increased attention to those who, whatever they are called, are still at the bottom of the heap - and to the problem, not of what to call them, but what to do about them.Reuse content

Read an Excerpt
Washington, D.C. Now
The second time Shannon Connor talked with Vincent Drago, the freelance information specialist wrapped a hand around her neck, slammed her against a wall hard enough to drive the air from her lungs, put a gun to her head and told her, "I'm going to blow your head off for setting me up."
The first time she'd talked with him had been over the phone and she'd used an alias. Maybe if she hadn't started everything with a lie, things might have gone more smoothly.
"Wait," Shannon croaked desperately. Wait? He's pointing a gun at your head, looking like he's going to use it, and the best you can come up with is wait? She really couldn't believe herself. Maybe something was wrong with her survival instinct.
Other reportersand friendsor what passed as friends, acquaintances reallyhad sometimes suspected she had a death wish.
Shannon didn't think that was true. She wanted to live. She glanced around the small room in the back of the bar where Drago had arranged to meet her. Actually, he'd arranged to meet her up front. He'd just yanked her into the back room at the first opportunity.
Then he'd slammed her up against the wall and put the gun to her head. If she'd known he was going to do that, she wouldn't have shown up.
Judging from the low-life clientele the bar catered to and the fact that they were in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood only a few blocks from the Watergate Hotel, Shannon doubted that help would be forthcoming even if she could yell.
"Do you know how much trouble I'm in because of you?" Drago demanded.
"No," Shannon croaked around the vise grip of the man's big hand. "How much?" She'd been trained for years to ask open-ended questions. It was only the politicians that had to be restrained from climbing up on their soapboxes.
Vincent Drago wasn't a politician. He was a private investigator, only he called it "freelance information specialist."
From what Shannon had found out about the man, he had a shady career. Some of Shannon's police contacts had claimed the man sometimes worked for the government on hush-hush jobs. Others claimed that he was a semilegal blackmailer.
One of the people Shannon had talked to had told her that Drago had gone after a blackmailer preying on a presidential hopeful. When he'd gotten the evidence of the candidate's philandering with a young intern, Drago had put himself on the candidate's payroll.
Shannon knew that because she'd broken the story about the intern when the girl had come to her after the affair ended. The intern had come forward so she could claim her fifteen minutes of fame. Everybody wanted that.
Drago was six feet six inches tall and looked like a human bulldozer. The carroty orange hair offered a warning about the dark temper that he possessed. His goatee was a darker red and kept neatly trimmed. He wore good suits and had expensive tastes. He could afford them because he did business with Fortune 500 companies.
According to the information Shannon had gotten, Drago was one of the best computer hackers working the private investigation scene. The man was supposedly an artist when it came to easing through firewalls and cracking encryptions. He was supposed to be more deadly with a computer than he was with a weapon.
Shannon was pretty sure she wouldn't have felt as threatened if Drago had been holding a computer keyboard to her head. Of course, he could have bashed her brains out with it.
She held on to Drago's wrist with both of her hands and tried to reel in her imagination. Thinking about the different ways he could kill her wasn't going to help.
"Somebody found out about me," Drago snarled. Angry red spots mottled his pale face.
"You advertise in the Yellow Pages," Shannon pointed out.
"People are supposed to find out about you."
"Somebody got into my computer." Drago looked apoplectic.
"My computer! Nobody gets into my computer."
"You get into other people's computers. I've heard that's dangerous. That's why I came to you."
"I'm invisible on the Internet," Drago roared. He stuck his big face within an inch of Shannon's. "I'm a frigging stealth ninja."
Shannon couldn't help thinking that stealth ninja was pretty redundant. When a ninja killed someone, they weren't supposed to be seen. That was part of what made them a ninja. "Who are you working for?" Drago slammed her against the wall again.
The back of Shannon's head struck the wall. Black spots danced in her vision. She tried to remember the last time she'd had her life on the line and thought it was during her coverage of the apartment fires that had broken out downtown. Nine people had died in that blaze. She'd very nearly been one of them.
But it hadn't seemed as scary then. She'd been with Todd, her cameraman, and he'd been rolling live footage. Every time the camera was on her, she was fearless.
Unfortunately neither Todd nor a camera were currently present.
Shannon held on to Drago's thick wrist in quiet desperation. Even standing on tiptoes, she could barely draw a breath of air.
"I'm not working for anyone," Shannon said.
"You work for American Broadcasting Systems."
"I told you that. I also told you this wasn't a story I was covering for the news station." That was true. Oddly enough, throughout her years as a reporter Shannon had discovered people believed lies more than truths. They just seemed to want to.
"Are you working for the government?" Drago asked.
"Because the Web sites I tracked the black ICE back to felt like federal government sniffers to me."
That was surprising. Shannon didn't know why the federal government would have been feeding her the information she'd been getting lately. Or before, for that matter.
"I don't work for the government," Shannon insisted. "I don't even know what black ICE is."
"Intrusion Countermeasures Electronics."
"How much do you think someone like me would know about stuff like that?" Shannon pulled her best frightened blonde look. Considering she was suspended and nearly choking to death, she figured she was inspired.
Her mind raced. She knew a physical confrontation with Drago was going to end badly. She was a foot shorter than he was and weighed about half of what he did. The room contained crates and cases of liquor. The single low-wattage bulb in the ceiling barely chased the night out of the room.
There was no help there, and nothing within reach that she could use as a club.
"I've seen you on television," Drago said. "I've seen you lie and wheedle your way into stories that other reporters couldn't get."
Despite being strung up against the wall, Shannon took momentary pride in her accomplishments. Getting recognized for something she'd done felt good. It always had.
"I knew I shouldn't have trusted you," Drago went on. He smiled, but there was no humor or warmth in the effort. "From the start I figured you were out to cross me up. But I bought into that blond hair and doe-brown eyes." He leaned down, a long way down, and sniffed her hair.
Shannon cringed and couldn't help closing her eyes. She hated being manhandled. It had never happened before, but she'd talked to rape and domestic-abuse victims enough to know that she was feeling the same thing they'd gone through. She resisted the urge to scream only because she thought if she did, he might kill her outright to shut her up.
"You sold me, baby," Drago whispered into her ear. "Hook, line and sinker. You had me with that teary-eyed look"
Shannon didn't use that one often anymore, but she knew it almost guaranteed instant game, set and match when she did. She just didn't like appearing weak.
"And the way you told me you needed help to find a cyberstalker."
Well, that was almost true.
"Who did you find?" Shannon had to struggle to keep from hiccupping in fear. The need to know what Drago had discovered almost leeched away the power her fear had over her.
"Have I told you this is a really bad part of the city?" Rafe Santorini lay back in the uncomfortable seat of the Ford Taurus he'd picked up to use for the night's surveillance.At six feet two inches tall, he couldn't quite get comfortable in the seat. His bad knee still ached and the gun on his right side kept digging into his hip.
"Yes," Allison Gracelyn replied. "Several times."
"Maybe I just haven't gotten through to you how bad this section is."
"I'm looking at it now."
That caught Rafe's attention. Challenged, he stared around the neighborhood. Since Allison was somewhere at her desk, currentlyor so she saidin Fort Meade, Maryland, he knew she had to have some means of electronic surveillance.
Unless she was using satellite coverage. Knowing Allison as he did, Rafe wouldn't have put it past her, but he knew she was wanting to keep this op on the down-low. Whatever business he'd bought into, it was personal to her.
Allison was one of the best ELINT and SIGNIT people he'd ever worked with. Electronic Intelligence and Signals Intelligence were two huge fields in espionage. Usually a person didn't overlap in the job. Allison did.
"Tired of playing Where's Waldo?" Allison asked.
Rafe knew she'd caught him looking. "If I didn't have to watch the bar so closely, I'd find it."
"There's a drugstore on the northwest corner," Allison said.
Rafe squinted against the darkness and didn't look right at the drugstore. Peripheral vision was stronger and clearer at night than direct line of sight. He spotted the familiar rectangular bulk of the camera bolted to the second-floor corner of the building.
"Are you getting my good side?" Rafe asked.
"No. You're sitting on it."
Despite the long hours spent following his target around for the last few days, Rafe had to laugh. He'd met Allison in the flesh twice, but he'd worked with her a couple dozen times over the last five years. He'd been a field agent with the National Security Agency. Allison was tech supporton steroids. There didn't seem to be any computer system she couldn't hack or information packet she couldn't sniff out. She wasn't known for her humor, buton occasionhe'd seen it.
Rafe turned his attention back to the seedy bar and rolled his watch over to have a look. It was 11:28 p.m. His target had gone inside
"Seventeen minutes ago," Allison said. Her voice was quiet and controlled coming through the earwig he wore in his left ear.
It was creepy how she did that, but Allison was a queen at multitasking. Agents Rafe had talked to had been blown away by how she could enhance an op and build in rabbit holes when things went south.
"Seventeen minutes is a long time," Rafe said.
"If you're holding your breath, maybe."
"Vincent Drago isn't a nice guy."
"I know. That's why I asked you to look into this when I found out he was involved."
Maybe it would help if you would tell me a little more about what's going on, Rafe thought. But he knew she wouldn't. Agents learned to be careful with the knowledge they had. Information was currency of the realm for a spy, and they never spent it casually, even at home.
In the handful of years that Rafe had worked with Allison, three of them spent before he'd ever gotten a face-to-face with her, she'd never asked for anything. She didn't seem like the type. Her phone call to the rental house in Jacksonville, North Carolina where he'd been recuperating for the past eight months, had been totally unexpected.
The fact that she was so grudging with the information had hooked him further. He'd known better, but he'd trusted Allison.
And you needed to get out of there, he reminded himself. Don't forget that. That oceanside rental was becoming as much a prison as the other place.
For a moment Rafe didn't see the seedy bar. He saw that small underground prison outside Kaesong, North Korea, where he'd been kept for five months. Cinder-block walls had threatened to crush him physically and spiritually every day. The long hours of torture and questions had rolled into one another until they'd become one long, unending nightmare.
The only reason he hadn't told his inquisitors what they'd wanted to know was because he hadn't known. He was certain they'd known that, too.
For a moment fear touched him intimately. It was strange how he'd accepted his death after the first few days of imprisonment yet had been more filled with fear after he'd returned home. Well, not home exactly. After being released from Walter Reed Hospital, he'd tried to go home and ended up renting that summer home in Jacksonville.
He'd gone armed every day. Even though he'd tried to sit in the sun and find that piece of himself that hadn't been shattered by his experiences, he hadn't been able to. He'd been more at home in the night and in the bars.
Come back, he told himself. You're not there anymore. You're here. You're helping a friend. Stick with the program.
The gnawing pain in his right knee helped him focus. He absently reached down and massaged it. Kneading the flesh was hard to do through the orthopedic brace he wore.
"Are you doing okay?" Allison asked.
Rafe was embarrassed and irritated at the same time. She'd caught him. He didn't like dealing with weakness or infirmity. The injuries he'd sustained had kept him out of active duty.
"I'm fine," he said.
"Are you still taking your meds?"
Rafe blew out his breath slowly, aware that she'd be able to pick up the sound over the earwig if he didn't keep it quiet.
"Yes," he lied.
A buzzer rang in his ear.
"Wrong answer," Allison said. "I checked with Medical. You haven't refilled your pain pills. If you were using them the way you should have been, you'd have run out forty-one days ago."
Despite his irritation, Rafe had to grin. Only Allison would know so much. Or would even think she needed to know so much, he amended.
"The pills weren't working very well," Rafe said. But that was a lie. The pills had been working entirely too well. He'd only noticed that problem when he'd started using alcohol with them. When he'd caught himself doing that, he'd poured the pills down the drain and hadn't touched so much as another beer. He'd seen what liquor and pills could do to people.
"Maybe you need something different," Allison suggested. Maybe I need to work again, Rafe thought angrily. Then he realized that Allison's favor had been a chance to do exactly that. He relaxed a little when he figured out that she wasn't passing judgment on him. She knew exactly what she was doing. More than that, she'd figured him out, too.
"Why are you smiling?" Allison asked.
"Man, that camera is good if you can see that well in the dark."
"I'm running a vision-enhancement-package upgrade on it that I designed. The software takes the available picture, repixelates it based on available light and light sources and reinterprets images."
"Very techie."
"Very techie," she agreed. "The hardest part was collapsing the size of the program so it would run in real time. By the way, you evaded the question."
"Have I told you how much I appreciate you letting me do this?"
"You're doing me the favor."
"Seriously, I think it's the other way around."
"Even if it turns out to be a glorified babysitting job?"
"If you'd thought it was going to be a glorified babysitting job, you wouldn't have asked me to look into this."
Allison sighed. "You're right. So stay sharp out there."
"I think I'm going to recon the bar." Rafe checked the pistol in its holster. When he thumbed the restraint aside, the weapon came free effortlessly. He opened the door and got out. The leg ached, but it moved easily and held his weight just fine. That was encouraging. Of course, that was with the leg braceand the NSA wouldn't have cleared him for fieldwork while wearing it.
"Getting antsy?" Allison asked.
"It's been twenty-three minutes. Aren't you?"
"Twenty-two minutes. And, yes, I am."
Rafe pulled at the black beanie that covered his dark hair. Gold-lensed wraparound sunglasses covered his eyes. He'd left the semibeard he'd been growing the last few weeks. He wore jeans, boots and a loose gray chambray shirt over a Toby Keith concert T-shirt. Totally suburban ghetto rat. He blended into the neighborhood.
He tucked an expandable Asp baton into the holster on the left side of his belt. Closed, the baton was only seven inches long. Under his shirt it wasn't noticeable.
"Be careful in there," Allison cautioned.
Rafe smiled again as he crossed the street. "You've got my six. How much trouble can I be in?"
"The scary part is, I don't know."
Rafe thought about that. I don't know wasn't something often heard from Allison Gracelyn.

Update: Ridglea Theater's Future Remains Up In The Air, And Hank III Ain't Happy About It.
Hank III's got Fort Worth bankers in his sights.
Jennifer Tzar
Things still very much appear up in the air as far as the future of Fort Worth's Ridglea Theater is concerned. Last we checked, it seemed the venue was on the verge of becoming a Bank of America. Still could be, actually, but a Facebook page and various notes to city council members ain't letting the venue go off too gently into the good night.
The Star-Telegram's Preston Jones has been all over the story, constantly updating readers with his findings--and they're all worth the read.
But, really, the one thing you need to see is this impassioned plea from one Hank Williams III, the third generation country outlaw who has played the venue countless times over the years and who Jones reached out to for comment on the venue late last week. Check it:
"Fort Worth has enough banks to last a lifetime, but good music venues are hard to come by. The Ridglea has always had a great energy about it that makes for historic shows. Once you walk in that place, it feels like music and art -- not a place for crooked bankers!"

Makes 1-1/2 Cups
1/2 cup superfine sugar
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg or ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar or
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
Generously butter a shallow baking pan (preferably a 15 x 10-inch jellyroll pan) and set aside (see Go Burn!, page 196 of the book). Have ready a longhandled wooden spoon, a pastry brush, and a cup of water.
Combine the sugar, water, nutmeg or cinnamon, and cream of tartar or lemon juice in a 1-quart heavy saucepan or skillet and mix well. Place on medium-high heat and cook, stirring with the wooden spoon, until the sugar dissolves.
Bring the syrup to a boil, cover the pan, and boil 3 minutes longer.
Uncover the pan. Dip the pastry brush in the water and wash down the sides of the pan.
Cook the syrup over high heat without stirring, but swirling the pan by the handle, for 2 to 3 minutes, or just until the syrup turns the color of lightly brewed tea.
Scatter the pecans over the syrup and stir quickly with the wooden spoon to cover the nuts with the liquid.
Cook the syrup 2 or 3 minutes longer or until it is golden brown and the nuts are just lightly toasted.
Immediately pour the nuts and syrup onto the baking pan. Working quickly, separate the pecans with a fork. Set the pan on a wire rack and cool the candy until hard, at least an hour. Or place the pan on a wire rack and let the candy set in one layer, at least an hour. Break into pieces.
Variation: Substitute shelled Brazil, walnuts, blanched almonds, or unsalted cashew nuts for the pecans, and proceed as directed above.

Top Gear Australia - Holden Special Vehicles HSV W427
Holden's HSV W427
Holden is celebrating HSV's 20th anniversary with the release of the fastest car ever produced in Australia - the HSV W427. Unveiled for the first time at the Melbourne Motor Show 2008, the HSV W427 (427 represents the engine's size in cubic inches) marks a new era in Australian muscle cars with a Chevrolet Corvette sourced 7.0-litre LS7 engine producing 370 kW (500 hp) of power and 640 Nm of torque. The engine is assembled by hand specifically for use in the Holden-based sedan and features an advanced dry-sump lubrication system required to match the performance potential of the car.The production version should complete the 0 - 100km/h sprint in around 4.7 seconds thus catapulting the local hero car into a select group of high-performance sedans which features the likes of the Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG, BMW M5 and Audi RS6. The HSV W427 will go on sale towards the middle of 2008 priced somewhere between $140,000 and $170,000. http://www.hsv.com.au/w427/

Travel Blogs from Venice
It's a Grand ol' Canal
... we walked all the way back and got some dinner along the way. The first vaporetto we got on was super crowded so we couldn't see anything or hear the audio guide. We ended up getting off at the next stop and walked back to the train station to catch another less crowded boat. This time we got good seats and ended up sitting next to some other ladies doing the same tour. The only downside to the tour is that we did it at night so it was dark, but most of the ...
... and oh man, were we in awe of the utterly amazing food, it was presented like the art we had seen in the museum earlier that morning. Unbelievable, and way too tasty to be true!
The next day we went into the city of Venice to see the San Marco and some more of the beautiful city! It was a gorgeous morning, we saw a lot of classic art and Venezia masks. Venice is definitely a place I'll be returning to.
Day 11 - Venice Day 2
... throughout the day.
The choice is a smart one as they get a splendid tour of the Grand Canal from the water and it takes them directly to their next desired destination, back to San Marco Square.
Upon arrival in San Marco the skies really open up into a torrential downpour. The group does the only thing they can to escape the rain and retreats inside St. Mark's Basilica for a quick tour. ...
Row Venice
... motor boat passed by, but I didn't fall over once, much less fall in. We rowed around the lagoon and then back into some of the northern canals. Seeing Venice from the water was cool, but it was even cooler to be doing the rowing. For my first time, I was doing pretty well at pulling in my oar to avoid obstacles and just generally keeping the boat moving.
The world before us is a postcard...
... picturesque cities I've been to...where so many scenes could be postcards. This is a city for photographers for sure, as it's hard to take a bad picture here, probably even with a disposable camera - do they still make those or am I showing my age? I usually laugh when someone says a city is 'good to get lost in', as I hate getting lost anywhere...but Venice is the first city I've seen where that phrase fits. It seems that every time you duck down another alley, you come out to ...

LOS ANGELES -- The Colorado Rockies' injury-depleted rotation has given Jhoulys Chacin an opportunity to show manager Jim Tracy what he can do.
And he hasn't disappointed.
Chacin made his second stellar start for the Rockies, who knocked out knuckleballer Charlie Haeger during a six-run first inning and beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-0 on Saturday.
Los Angeles Dodgers
"It's just a terrific job again by that young kid," Tracy said. "Obviously, we got things started correctly for him in the first. One of the things you concern yourself about with a young kid is when you stake him to a real nice lead like we did, how is he going to handle that? Is he going to get a little too excited and try to hurry his way through this thing? But he kept himself completely under control and showed some composure and poise."
Ian Stewart hit a two-run homer and RBI single among his three hits. Carlos Gonzales had a three-run double in support of Chacin (2-0), who has filled in brilliantly while Jorge De La Rosa and Jason Hammel have been on the disabled list.
"I've just been doing what they told me -- try to throw my fastball for a strike and get ahead in the count. And I've been successful with that," Chacin said. "I have more experience now and my pitches are good. I think if I keep throwing strikes I will be fine."
The 22-year-old right-hander scattered six hits over 7 1/3 innings, struck out seven and walked two. Last Sunday, he beat the Giants 4-1 at San Francisco with seven innings of one-hit ball for his first big league victory.
"This kid's capable of winning a lot for us right now," Tracy said. "I really believe he got the message we sent him last year: If you want to be a big leaguer fairly quickly and remain one for the rest of your career, get your fastball back and get it over the plate like you did a couple of years ago when you won 18 games between two spots in the minor leagues."
Left fielder Manny Ramirez was activated from the 15-day disabled list and singled in four at-bats in his return to the Dodgers' lineup, after missing 14 games because of a right calf strain.
Andre Ethier was 3 for 3, increasing his major league-leading average to .394. But the only other hit the Dodgers got off Chacin during the first seven innings was a single by Russell Martin.
"He was throwing strikes and staying ahead of guys," Blake DeWitt said. "He had all of his pitches working and he had good off-speed stuff. In this league, you're going to be facing tough guys every night. That's just part of it."
Haeger (0-4) lasted only 22 pitches - 14 balls - and did not retire any of the five batters he faced. All of them scored, raising the right-hander's ERA to 8.49.
Seth Smith opened the game with a single and the next three batters walked, including Troy Tulowitzki on four pitches to force in a run. Pitching coach Rick Honeycutt went to the mound for a few words with Haeger, who got ahead of Gonzalez 1-2 before the Rockies' RBIs leader lined a triple inside first base to increase his season total to 25. Gonzalez has 18 in his last 11 games.
Manager Joe Torre yanked Haeger and brought in Ramon Ortiz, who promptly gave up Stewart's sixth homer. The Rockies have only two home runs in their last eight games, including Stewart's 12th-inning solo shot in Wednesday's 6-5 win at San Diego.
Haeger became the first Dodgers pitcher to start a game and not record an out since Aug. 8, 1988, at Houston, when right-hander Shawn Hillegas was pulled by Tommy Lasorda after four batters.
"It was just one of those things where I couldn't find the zone, and as a result, you're going to get hurt," Haeger said. "I've pitched a lot of games in my life, where, being a knuckleballer, every once in a while you don't have it in the first inning. So I understand the hook. You let the first five guys reach base and you're down 4-0 with nobody out, maybe it's time to make a change."
- Haeger's only other appearance against the Rockies was a relief outing with San Diego on Sept. 16, 2008, at Coors Field, when he gave up a grand slam to Chris Iannetta after walking the previous three batters. Iannetta was optioned to Triple-A on April 27.
- Colorado 1B Todd Helton, whose 38 career home runs against the Dodgers are the most he's had against any team, hasn't hit one against them in 81 at-bats since his solo shot against Brad Penny at Coors Field on May 2, 2008.

Remembering Ovadia Yosef, the Israeli Ayatollah
Read More.
More than 700,000 people gathered in Jerusalem yesterday to mourn the death of a great sage, Ovadia Yosef , a former chief rabbi of Israel and the supreme guide of the Shas political party.
The country had never before seen a funeral of this size. The mass of mourners was a testament to Yosef's magnetism and scholarship, as well as to the work he did to lift up his community, the once-aggrieved (and still occasionally put-upon) Mizrachim, or Jews from Arab countries. (Yosef was himself born in Baghdad and served as a rabbi in Cairo.)
The party Yosef created made him a kingmaker in Israeli politics (read Noah Feldman's incisive look at Yosef's revolutionary role in transforming Israeli political culture), and he was perhaps best known, beyond the walls of ultra-Orthodoxy, for his ruling that it would be permissible under Jewish law to cede biblical land to Palestinians if lives would be saved by doing so.
Much of the coverage of Yosef's death has focused on the transformative role he played in the lives of Mizrachim. But much of it has neglected to mention the unfortunate fact that Yosef was a mean-spirited fundamentalist who created a corrupt party that coarsened Israeli politics, held a medieval belief in a vindictive God, and made abominable pronouncements on the moral and personal qualities of those of different races, religions and political views.
I spend a lot of time in this space highlighting the corrosive anti-Semitism of such figures as Ayatollah Ali Khamenei , the Iranian leader, and Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the extremist Al Jazeera televangelist. It's unpleasant but necessary to note that Israel, too, has its share of religious fanatics. Yosef was his country's most eminent. It's true that he endorsed (as a theoretical matter) the idea of Israeli withdrawal from territories captured in the 1967 Six-Day War. But when former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon argued for a withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, Yosef said, "God will strike him with one blow and he will die. He will sleep and not awake." (Some of Yosef's followers were ecstatic -- I saw their ecstasy with my own eyes -- when Sharon later suffered a stroke.)
In the manner of the crudest fundamentalists everywhere, Yosef blamed misfortune and death on apostasy, irreligiosity and homosexuality (gay people, in his eyes, were "completely evil"). About Israeli soldiers who fell in battle, Yosef once said, "Is it any wonder if, heaven forbid, soldiers are killed in a war? They don't observe the Sabbath, they don't observe the Torah, they don't pray, they don't put on phylacteries every day. Is it any wonder that they're killed? It's no wonder." Even more famously, he blamed the deaths of Jews during the Holocaust on the spiritual deficiencies of their ancestors.
In 2005, he argued that Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment for the Gaza withdrawal and for the alleged godlessness of the black residents of New Orleans. "There was a tsunami and there are terrible natural disasters, because there isn't enough Torah study," he said. "Tens of thousands have been killed. All of this because they have no God." He went on to argue -- if that's the word for it -- that the deaths were also punishment directed at President George W. Bush for pressuring Sharon to remove Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip. "It was God's retribution," he said. "God does not short-change anyone."
Yosef's excoriations of Israeli politicians were legendary. In the last election, Yosef said this about the leadership of the right-wing Jewish Home party: "Those are religious people? They come to uproot the Torah. Those who elect them deny the Torah, this is the Jewish Home? This is the Jewish Home of the gentiles."
The most devastating insult Yosef could muster against a Jew was to label him a gentile. He held gentiles in general contempt. "Goyim were born only to serve us," he said in a 2010 sermon. "Without that, they have no place in the world -- only to serve the people of Israel."
Of Muslims, he said, "They're stupid. Their religion is as ugly as they are." His hatred of Palestinians was obvious. Speaking of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and his aides, Yosef said, "All these evil people should perish from this world. God should strike them with a plague, them and these Palestinians."
Yosef's defenders will note that Abbas was one of the many dignitaries who expressed his condolences on learning of Yosef's death. Abbas did so for the same reason Israeli President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did: because Yosef represented a vast and powerful political constituency.
Defenders of Yosef will also argue that his outbursts and prejudices came late in life (though not all of them did) or that they were the product of his upbringing, as a Jew who was both discriminated against by Muslims and who led an ethnic group that suffered at their hands. Yosef's apologists also argue that the good work he did -- on behalf of war widows, for instance -- mitigates the damage of his egregious words.
Sorry, no: Prejudice is prejudice, whether it comes from an imam in Qatar or from the man whose Jewish critics labeled him, correctly, the "Israeli ayatollah."

Acts 16:6-10New International Version (NIV)
Paul's Vision of the Man of Macedonia
6 Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. 7 When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to. 8 So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas. 9 During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." 10 After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

18 She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so annoyed that he turned around and said to the spirit, "In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!" At that moment the spirit left her.
19 When her owners realized that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to face the authorities. 20 They brought them before the magistrates and said, "These men are Jews, and are throwing our city into an uproar 21 by advocating customs unlawful for us Romans to accept or practice."
22 The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten with rods. 23 After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully.

For Now, Artificial Pancreas May Be Next Best Thing to a Cure
When we think about curing diabetes, we hear a lot about stem cells, regeneration of beta cells, and other ways to restore the insulin-producing cells that have been destroyed or burned out in diabetes. And while research into these areas is exciting, there may be ways to effectively cure diabetes in the nearer future using technology through the creation of an artificial pancreas. After all, we have pacemakers to provide the electrical signaling in an irregular heart and dialysis machines to perform the function of a failing kidney, so why not an artificial pancreas? It's important for us to note at the outset that this has been discussed for years and years; while we strongly believe that a "true" artificial pancreas (which requires no input by patients) is still probably at least a decade off, there may be other "versions" that can provide much help to patients perhaps around the end of this decade. Still awhile off, no doubt, but we want to provide you with the latest thinking!
At the Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics Meeting in San Francisco in November, the prospects for an artificial pancreas were further explored. After independent continuous glucose sensing, the integrated artificial pancreas looks to be another rich area of progress on the diabetes technology front; as such, it is on the minds of industry, physicians, and patients alike. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), for example, has named as one of its major goals the creation of an artificial pancreas and we believe support from this important organization is a notable reflection on what might be possible in the coming years. The progress made in continuous glucose sensors—as discussed in our last column—has renewed interest in the idea of an artificial pancreas, as this is one of three key components of an artificial pancreas.
In addition to a continuous glucose sensor, an artificial pancreas will require a method of continuous insulin delivery, an algorithm to connect the glucose sensing to the insulin delivery, and some sort of counter-regulatory hormone (glucagon comes to mind). Since the advent of the insulin pump in the late 1970s, we have had a way to deliver insulin continuously, but accurate, real-time, user-friendly continuous glucose sensing is just catching up. To be used in an artificial pancreas, a continuous glucose sensor must be highly accurate, of course, and as noted in last month's column on continuous glucose sensing, accuracy has been a challenge, especially at hypoglycemic levels. Perspective is critical, however! The first insulin pump was the size of a backpack! See Fig. A. We believe continuous glucose sensors will only continue to improve and at the moment, we're very excited about clinical utility and value offered by the newest generation.
Fig. A
In an artificial pancreas, sometimes referred to as a "closed loop" system, the continuous glucose sensor would report the blood glucose value to the insulin pump, which would then calculate and deliver the appropriate dosage of insulin. In sharp contrast to diabetes therapy today, the person with diabetes would in no way be involved with decision-making. ("How great would that be?!" we're thinking … "If you can figure it out, leave us out of it!") This would eliminate problems with user errors, mis-estimations and carb counting, and perhaps most importantly, would alleviate the lion's share of the daily burden of diabetes. Healthcare providers working on this problem acknowledge this as a key reason to move to a closed-loop system. At the Diabetes Technology Meeting, for example, Dr. Moshe Philip of the National Center for Childhood Diabetes in Israel stressed that an artificial pancreas would mean freedom from thinking about diabetes constantly. We understand that … and bet you do too!
An artificial pancreas is also expected to have the power to eliminate debilitating episodes of hypoglycemia, particularly nighttime hypoglycemia. In fact, JDRF scientist Dr. Aaron Kowalski (who was featured on dLife on July 10, 2005) has suggested that the first step in moving toward an artificial pancreas might be a simple turn-off feature in which a rapidly dropping or low blood glucose value halts the delivery of insulin to prevent hypoglycemia.

Q: I am 60 and my husband died two years ago. We hadn't had sex for years. I don't expect to have another relationship as I know that men of my age all want much younger women and, statistically, the outlook on dating websites is very grim. The question is, what do I do? I am a sexual being with no chance of enjoying this aspect of life. What is the best way to proceed?
A: Death can make you feel terribly isolated and since you obviously hadn't been able to have a physical relationship with your husband for many years prior to his death, you've had a lot of time to disable your sexual expectations. I can imagine that, at this point in your grief cycle, it seems easier to decide that happiness and a sexual relationship are unattainable rather than risk getting your hopes up.
Although it is intimidating to think about moving on, you have one third of your life ahead of you and you really do deserve to be happy. Your chance of meeting a new partner, and having sex again, depends on how much you are willing to expand your social circle. You have convinced yourself that this is hopeless, but it isn't. Figures from the Office for National Statistics show that 10,040 men and 5,655 women over the age of 60 got married in the UK in 2010. You may decide that what you want is company, not cohabitation or marriage, but you have a better chance of finding a partner, and enjoying a fulfilling sex life, if you actually look for one.
Times have changed since you were last on the dating scene. Internet dating is a huge industry and an increasingly common way to meet new people. Although you are right about online dating statistics, studies of online dating trends and behaviour patterns focus on people aged between 21 and 35; "senior" websites that focus on the over-50s rarely get included because there is less interest in the sex lives of older men and women.
However, you are part of the biggest demographic in the UK and where there is demand, there is always supply. Senior dating websites are mushrooming. That would not be happening unless people of your age were actually hooking up on them.
The great thing about online dating is that it gives you complete control and you can either dip your toe in the water or dive straight in.
You do need to be careful though. On your behalf, I anonymously signed up to several sixty-plus sites as a sixty-year-old woman to test the process. I was flooded with messages but most of it was junk mail trying to get me to "upgrade" so that I could read my messages.
Other sites, such as Plenty Of Fish, are completely free, but you may get a more specialised service by subscribing to niche sites such as Friends Over Fifty or Saga Connections, which has lots of posts from members sharing their success stories. If you are a Times reader you might also want to check out The Times online dating section (encounters.timesonline.co.uk).
Most people end up choosing a site because they know someone who has successfully used it to find a date.
There are lots of guides to safety online, but top tips for profile writing are to avoid platitudes and generalities and be straightforward and honest. Also, you are more likely to be contacted if you post a photo of yourself.
Some seniors have taken online dating to the next level and set up their own local ventures. On a Saga website discussion group, one man explains that he and his single friends got fed up with online dating sites so they formed their own group called "sixty and solvent" and now 35 of them meet for lunch, dinner, bridge, theatre visits, vintage car shows or air shows. It's a non-profit venture and presumably people bring their friends so that the social group keeps expanding, and more connections are made. Who knows where those connections may lead?

According to a report by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, approximately 842 million people worldwide are malnourished, while the number of chronically hungry people is increasing at a rate of nearly 5 million a year.
Traditional approaches to solving poverty and hunger, including providing financial aid to governments in poor countries, have proven to be remarkably ineffective. Part of the reason why these strategies have failed is because the aid effort has never been adequate and has nearly always come burdened with specific demands for economic 'reform'. Other reasons include the fact that the aid effort has never been followed closely by reduction in agricultural subsidies to allow for sustainable prices of Africa's agricultural produce, or that developed countries have never implemented any sort of comprehensive banking reform that will inhibit the growth of the bank accounts of Africa's corrupt leaders.
Then there is also the simple fact that the task of tackling poverty is enormously challenging given the variety of social, economic, and political problems like corruption, environmental degradation, crippling debt, gender, and racial inequalities etc. that dog poor nations. While all of the above reasons ring true, the larger problem with the aid effort is the fact that it focuses on a "top-down" approach to problem solving, an approach that is not appropriate for corrupt governments or countries with high levels of violence or significant political cleavages.
Corruption and other inefficiencies in aid distribution have gotten a lot of attention recently from policy wonks. The Bush administration came up with the idea of a 'Millenium Challenge Account' that would dole out money based on how a poor country performed on a variety of indicators like corruption etc. The idea indeed was wonderful. The magic bullet was supposed to give countries an incentive to reform so as to become eligible for money.
Except the plan didn't work. Most of the money remains unspent tucked in some bank account. Some would argue that that's a wonderful result – at least the U.S. saved some money, and the money didn't end up enriching the Robert Mugabe enterprise or similar morons. The plan failed because it was based on the delusional policy that gave incentive to governments that were the most corrupt and otherwise the least likely to reform. Even aside from that, the fact remains that corruption is strongly correlated to poverty. So to solve one – poverty – by basing aid on corruption levels is a failed enterprise for nearly all poor countries have catastrophic levels of corruption.
The reason why the Millennium Challenge Account failed is indicative of the wider malaise afflicting top-down approaches. We need to radically rethink how to "do aid". If success of micro-credit arm of Bangladeshi firm Grameen is anything to go by, the answer is in ramping up money available for micro-credit schemes.
Lack of access to low interest credit is stifling growth rates in many villages and keeping rural populations under high debt burden and often contributing to 'famines'. (Generally markets are full but people are unable to afford the food.) Often times there are no banks in rural areas, and their job is done by moneylenders who often charge exorbitant interest rates on egregiously limiting terms from the largely illiterate population. More money should be earmarked for micro-credit so that people can start a business or pay off their debt without having to pay back a principal balance with a high interest rate attached to it. More international aid should be allocated to accommodate people who need small loans at low interest rates.
Another similar micro-credit strategy includes providing farmers with farm animals or seeds at a nominal interest rate. This approach currently led by Heifer has been fairly successful.
While problems with infrastructure will create bottlenecks as economies start to grow, the approach defined above is a great medium-term strategy to alleviate poverty.Powered by Sidelines

AWT's easy Portuguese piri-piri chicken recipe is perfect for the barbecue - and ready in 30 minutes.
Unfortunately we are unable to add this recipe to your favourites, please try again later.
To make the piri-piri sauce, preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Place the chillies on a roasting tray and roast them for 10 minutes.
Cool and roughly chop the chillies. Place the chillies, garlic, salt, oregano, paprika, olive oil and vinegar in a saucepan, and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Allow the mixture to cool, then blend it to a purée in a jug blender or food processor. Store in a lidded container at room temperature; it will keep for about a month. Shake before using.
Place the spatchcocked chicken in a sealable plastic bag. Add half the piri-piri sauce, spreading it evenly over the chicken. Seal and marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
Preheat the oven to 200C/390F/Gas 6, and preheat a large griddle pan on the hob. Alternatively, light your barbecue.
Season the marinated chicken, and cook it on the griddle pan for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Transfer the griddled chicken to a roasting tray and roast in the oven for 30 minutes, until cooked through. Alternatively, place the chicken on a medium heat barbecue, covered, for 10-15 minutes on both sides or until cooked through, basting regularly with the remaining piri-piri sauce.
Serve with chips and salad.

|[jira] [Commented] (OAK-175) MemoryNodeStateBuilder inefficient for large child node lists
|Tue, 10 Jul 2012 11:26:34 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-175?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13410252#comment-13410252 ] Michael Dürig commented on OAK-175: ----------------------------------- Thanks Jukka, that's great stuff. It only solves half the problem though. The other half is cause by {{MemoryNodeStateBuilder.snapshot}} which deeply copies all child nodes. When adding node sequentially this leads to a quadratic performance degradation in the number of child nodes. The solution I implemented through {{RootImpl.purge()}} purges changes down to the branch when the number of changes kept in memory reach a certain threshold. While this works, I find my approach too ad-hoc and would like to come up with a more general solution. > MemoryNodeStateBuilder inefficient for large child node lists > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OAK-175 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-175 > Project: Jackrabbit Oak > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: core > Reporter: Michael Dürig > > OAK-174 leverages the {{getChildBuilder()}} method introduced with OAK-170. This revealed a performance issue for large child node list with the {{MemoryNodeStateBuilder}} implementation: without additional measures (see below) {{RootImplTest.largeChildList()}} is very slow. > The additional measures I currently implemented consist of counting the overall number of changes to a tree and purge these down to the branch when a certain threshold is reached. See {{RootImpl.purge()}}. However, I think this mechanism is too ad-hoc and we should find a more general solution. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
