THE NO. 1 LADIES' DETECTIVE AGENCY - Book 12
Fans around the world adore the best-selling No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series and its proprietor, Precious Ramotswe, Botswana's premier lady detective. In this charming series, Mma Ramotswe—with help from her loyal associate, Grace Makutsi—navigates her cases and her personal life with wisdom, good humor, and the occasional cup of tea.
In this latest installment in the charming, bestselling series, Precious Ramotswe faces two confounding cases: the mysterious fate of some cows, and the ghost-like reappearance of her dear old white van.
As Mma Ramotswe investigates the deaths of cows at a cattle post outside Gaborone, she finds herself also pursuing other mysteries closer to home. One of Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni's apprentices appears to have gotten a girl pregnant, and has run away to avoid marrying her. Meanwhile, Precious sees her beloved old van—sent to the junkyard long ago—trundling around the city again. Has the van been miraculously revived, or is she hallucinating? Further complicating matters are Violet Sephotho's newly launched campaign for a seat in Botswana's parliament, and Grace Makutsi's growing fears that she'll never be able to marry her fiancé Phuti Radiphuti if she can't find the perfect pair of wedding shoes. As ever, Precious will draw on her trademark grace and wisdom as she helps unravel all these tangled threads.

"Satisfying—and surprising. . . . Will please fans and win converts."—The Free Lance-Star
Four last-minute complications for the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency to sort out before associate detective Grace Makutsi can tie the knot with furniture salesman Phuti Radiphuti.
Mma Precious Ramotswe's latest client, Botsalo Moeti, made no enemies working for a mining company, and he's hardly had the opportunity to make any as a farmer. So why has someone killed two of his cattle by cutting their Achilles tendons? Although a trip to his farm persuades Mma Ramotswe that he may have more enemies than he realizes, it doesn't tell her which of them is responsible. Meanwhile, as usual, "the lady to help people" (The Double Comfort Safari Club, 2010, etc.) must deal with problems closer to home. Charlie, the eternal apprentice mechanic at Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors, the establishment owned by Mma Ramotswe's husband, Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni, seems so determined to avoid Prudence Ramkhwane after she bears his twins that he runs away when he's taxed with his responsibilities. Violet Sephotho, Mma Makutsi's mantrap nemesis from Botswana Secretarial College, is standing for a parliamentary seat she's obviously unqualified for. And Mma Ramotswe has been sighting her beloved white van, which her husband sold for parts when he finally judged it beyond even his expertise to restore, around Gaborone. If it's true that "there is no heaven for cars," what should she make of these spectral visions?
Nothing very mysterious here, of course, but the solution to the problem of those dead cattle is wonderfully inconclusive, and you'll never get through the wedding with dry eyes.

Read an Excerpt
Mma Ramotswe had by no means forgotten her late white van. It was true that she did not brood upon it, as some people dwell on things of the past, but it still came to mind from time to time, often at unexpected moments. Memories of that which we have lost are curious things—weeks, months, even years may pass without any recollection of them and then, quite suddenly, something will remind us of a lost friend, or of a favourite possession that has been mislaid or destroyed, and then we will think: Yes, that is what I had and I have no longer.
Her van had been her companion and friend for many years. Can a vehicle—a collection of mechanical bits and pieces, nuts and bolts and parts the names of which one has not the faintest idea of—can such a thing be a friend? Of course it can: physical objects can have personalities, at least in the eyes of their owners. To others, it may only be a van, but to the owner it may be the friend that has started loyally each morning—except sometimes; that has sat patiently during long hours of waiting outside the houses of suspected adulterers; that has carried one home in the late afternoon, tired after a day's work at the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. And just like a person, a car or a van may have likes and dislikes. A good tar road is balm to man and machine and may produce a humming sound of satisfaction in both car and driver; an unpaved road, concealing behind each bend a deep pothole or tiny mountain range of corrugations, may provoke rattles and groans of protest from even the most tolerant of vehicles. For this reason, the owners of cars may be forgiven for thinking that under the metal there lurks something not all that different from a human soul.
Mma Ramotswe's van had served her well, and she loved it. Its life, though, had been a hard one. Not only had it been obliged to cope with dust, which, as anybody who lives in a dry country will know, can choke a vehicle to death, but its long-suffering suspension had been required to deal with persistent overloading, at least on the driver's side. That, of course, was the side on which Mma Ramotswe sat, and she was, by her own admission and description, a traditionally built person. Such a person can wear down even the toughest suspension, and this is exactly what happened in the case of the tiny white van, which permanently listed to starboard as a result.
Mma Ramotswe's husband, Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni, that excellent man, proprietor of Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors and widely regarded as the best mechanic in all Botswana, had done his best to address the problem, but had tired of having to change the van's shock absorbers from side to side so as to equalise the strain. Yet it went further than that. The engine itself had started to make a sinister sound, which grew in volume until eventually the big-end failed.
"I am just a mechanic, Mma Ramotswe," he had said to his wife. "A mechanic is a man who fixes cars and other vehicles. That is what a mechanic does."
Mma Ramotswe had listened politely, but her heart within her was a stone of fear. She knew that the fate of her van was at stake, and she would prefer not to know that. "I think I understand what a mechanic does, Rra," she said. "And you are a very good mechanic, quite capable of fixing a—"
She did not finish. The normally mild Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni had raised a finger. "A mechanic, Mma," he pronounced, "is different from a miracle-worker. A miracle-worker is a person who . . . works miracles. A mechanic cannot do that. And so when the time comes for a vehicle to die—and they are mortal, Mma, I can assure you— then he cannot wave a wand and make the car new again." He paused, looking at her with the air of a doctor imparting bad news. "And so . . ."
He had done his best for her, of course, and bought her a spanking new van, blue this time, with an array of buttons on the dashboard that she had not yet dared investigate, and with an engine so quiet and unobtrusive that it was sometimes possible to believe that it was not switched on at all and that it was gravity alone, or some other mysterious force, that was propelling the van down the road. She tried to appear grateful, but it was hard. It was true that the point of a vehicle was to get you from one place to another without incident, but that, she thought, was not the only consideration. If efficiency were the only value in this life, then we would be content to eat bland but nutritious food every day—and the same food at that. That would keep us alive, but it would make for very dull mealtimes. And the same was true of transport: there was all the world of difference between travelling along a highway in an air-conditioned bus, behind tinted glass, and making the same journey by a side-road, on a cart pulled by a team of mules, with the morning air fresh against your face and the branches of the acacia trees brushing past so close that you could reach out to touch the delicate green leaves. There was all that difference.
The tiny white van had gone to a scrap dealer, and that, she thought, was the end. But then she encountered a woman who told her that a nephew of hers had acquired the van, and towed it up to his place near the Tuli Block. He loved tinkering, she said, and he might be able to do something with the parts that he could strip from the body of the van. That was all Mma Ramotswe heard, and nothing more. It was a better fate, perhaps, than that of total destruction in the jaws of some metal-crushing predator, but still she hoped that the young man who had bought the van for scrap might exercise his mechanical skills and restore it. And that possibility she kept in her mind, tucked away among the other scraps of hope of the sort that we go through life with, not thinking about them very much but unwilling to let them fade away altogether.
Now, on this crisp Botswana day, at the tail end of a winter that, for all its cold mornings, was still drenched in clear and constant sun, Mma Ramotswe was reminded of her former van by something she saw on the road. She was driving past the Ministry of Water Affairs, her mind on a case that she had been working on for some time and was no nearer resolution than when she had started. She wondered whether she should not begin afresh, abandoning all the information she had obtained, and speaking to everybody again from scratch; possibly, she thought, it might be easier if . . . And then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw what seemed to be her tiny white van. It was not just that she saw a white van—they were common enough in a country where the most popular colour for a vehicle was white—it was the fact that the white vehicle she saw had the air of her van, a characteristic gait, so to speak, a way of moving.
Her first instinct was to stop, and this she did, pulling in to the side of the road, her wheels throwing up a cloud of dust and causing the vehicle behind her to swerve angrily. She waved an apology—that was not the sort of driving she condoned in others— before twisting round in her seat to look at the turning down which she had glimpsed the van making its way. She saw nothing, so she decided to reverse a few yards to get a better view. But no, the side-road was empty.
She frowned. Had she imagined it? She had read somewhere that those who mourn will sometimes see those they mourn—or will think they see them. But she was not really mourning her van, even if she regretted its passing; she was not the sort of woman who would allow something like that to get in the way of living. She shook her head, as if to clear it, and then, on impulse, made a sweeping U-turn, heading off on to the side-road down which she had seen the white van disappear.
A woman was sitting on a stone on the edge of the road, a small bundle of possessions on the ground beside her. Mma Ramotswe slowed down, and the woman looked at her enquiringly.
"I'm sorry, Mma," said Mma Ramotswe through her open window. "I haven't stopped to give you a ride to wherever it is you want to go."
"Ah," said the woman. "I hoped you had, Mma, but I don't mind. My son promised to come and collect me, and he will get round to it eventually."
"Sometimes men forget these things," said Mma Ramotswe. "They tell us that they are too busy to do the things we want them to do, but they have plenty of time for their own concerns."
The woman laughed. "Oh, that is right, my sister! I can hear them saying that in those voices that men have!"
Mma Ramotswe joined in the laughter. Then she asked, "Did a white van come down this way, Mma? Not a big one—a small one, same size as this one I'm in but much older—and white."
The woman frowned. "When, Mma? I have only been sitting here for half an hour."
"Oh, not that long ago," said Mma Ramotswe. "About two or three minutes ago. Maybe four."
The woman shook her head. "No, Mma. Nobody has been down here for at least ten minutes, maybe more. And there have been no white vans—I would have seen one if there had been. I have been watching, you see."
"Are you sure, Mma?"
The woman nodded vigorously. "I am very sure, Mma. I see everything. I was in the police, you see. For three years, a long time ago, I was one of those police ladies. Then I fell off a truck and they said that I could not walk well enough to stay in. They are very foolish sometimes, and that is why the criminals sit there in those bars and tell one another stories of what the police have not done. They laugh at them and drink their beer. That is what is happening today, and God will certainly punish the politicians one day for letting this happen."
Mma Ramotswe smiled. "You are right, Mma. Those criminals need to be taught a lesson. But to go back to the van, are you absolutely sure, Mma?"
"I am one hundred per cent sure," said the woman. "If you made me stand up in the High Court in Lobatse and asked me whether I had seen a van, I would say certainly not and that is the truth."
Mma Ramotswe thanked her. "I hope that your son comes soon, Mma," she said.
"He will. When he has finished dancing with ladies or whatever he is doing, he will come."
Mma Ramotswe continued with her journey, completing the tasks she had been on her way to perform. She thought no more of the sighting of the van until she returned to the office a couple of hours later and mentioned the matter to Mma Makutsi.
"I saw something very strange today, Mma," she began as she settled herself at her desk.
"That is no surprise," said Mma Makutsi from the other side of the room. "There are some very strange things happening in Gaborone these days."
Mma Ramotswe would normally have agreed with this—there were very odd things happening—but she did not want Mma Makutsi to get launched on the subject of politics or the behaviour of teenagers, or any of the other subjects on which she harboured strong and sometimes unconventional views. So she went on to describe the sighting of the van and the curiously unsettling conversation she had had with the woman by the side of the road. "She was very sure that there had been no van, Mma, and I believed her. And yet I am just as sure that I saw it. I was not dreaming."
Mma Makutsi listened attentively. "So," she said. "You saw it, but she did not. What does that mean, Mma?"
Mma Ramotswe considered this for a moment. There was something on the issue in Clovis Andersen's book, she seemed to remember; The Principles of Private Detection had a great deal to recommend it in all departments, but it was particularly strong on the subject of evidence and the recollection of what people see. When two or more people see something, the great authority had written, you would be astonished at how many different versions of events you will get! This is not because people are lying; it is more because we see things differently. One person sees one thing, and another sees something altogether different. Both believe that they are telling the truth.
Mma Makutsi did not wait for Mma Ramotswe to answer her question. "It means that one of you saw something that the other did not."
Mma Ramotswe pondered this answer. It did not advance the matter very much, she thought. "So the fact that one of you saw nothing," Mma Makutsi continued, "does not mean that there was nothing. She saw nothing because she did not notice anything. You saw something that she did not notice because it was not there, or it was not there in the way that you thought it was there."
"I'm not sure I follow you, Mma Makutsi . . ."
Mma Makutsi drew herself up behind her desk. "That van, Mma Ramotswe, was a ghost van. It was the spirit of a late van. That's what you must have seen."
Mma Ramotswe was not certain whether her assistant was being serious. Mma Makutsi could make peculiar remarks, but she had never before said anything quite as ridiculous as this. That was what made her feel that perhaps she was joking and that the proper reaction for her was to laugh. But if she laughed and her assistant was in fact being serious, then offence would be taken and this could be followed by a period of huffiness. So she confined her reaction to an innocent question: "Do vans have ghosts, Mma? Do you think that likely?"
"I don't see why not," said Mma Makutsi. "If people have ghosts, then why shouldn't other things have them? What makes us so special that only we can have ghosts? What makes us think that, Mma?"
"Well, I'm not so sure that there are ghosts of people anyway," said Mma Ramotswe. "If we go to heaven when we die, then who are these ghosts that people talk about? No, it doesn't seem likely to me."
Mma Makutsi frowned. "Ah, but who says that everybody goes to heaven?" she asked. "There are people who will not get anywhere near heaven. I can think of many . . ."
Mma Ramotswe's curiosity was too much for her. "Such as, Mma?"
Mma Makutsi showed no hesitation in replying. "Violet Sephotho," she said quickly. "There will be no place for her in heaven— that is well known. So she will have to stay down here in Gaborone, walking around and not being seen by anybody because she will be a ghost." She paused, an expression of delight crossing her face. "And, Mma, she will be a ghost in high-heeled shoes! Can you imagine that, Mma? A ghost tottering around on those silly high heels that she wears. It is a very funny thought, Mma. Even those who saw such a ghost would not be frightened but would burst out laughing. Other ghosts would laugh, Mma—they would, although we wouldn't hear them, of course."
"Unless we were ghosts ourselves by that stage," interjected Mma Ramotswe. "Then we would hear them."
This warning made Mma Makutsi fall silent. It had been an appetising picture that she had been painting, and she slightly resented Mma Ramotswe's spoiling it like this. But her resentment did not persist, as it occurred to her that Mma Ramotswe, having possibly just seen a ghost herself—even if only a ghost van—might be in need of a restorative cup of red bush tea.
"I think it is time that I put the kettle on," she said. "All this talk of ghosts . . ."
Mma Ramotswe laughed. "There are no ghosts, Mma. No ghost people, no ghost vans. These things are just stories we make up to frighten ourselves."
Mma Makutsi, now standing beside the kettle, looked out of the window. Yes, she thought, one can say that sort of thing in broad daylight, under this wide and sunlit Botswana sky, but would one say the same thing with equal conviction at night, when one was out in the bush, perhaps, away from the streetlights of town, and surrounded by the sounds of the night—sounds that could not be easily explained away and could be anything, things known or unknown, things friendly or unfriendly, things that it was better not to think about? She shuddered. It was not a good idea to let one's mind dwell on these matters, and she was sure it was best to think about something quite different. And so she said to Mma Ramotswe, "Mma, I am worried about Charlie. I am very worried."
Mma Ramotswe looked up from her desk. "Charlie, Mma Makutsi? But we have always been worried about Charlie, right from the beginning." She smiled at her assistant. "I'm sure that even when he was a very small boy, this high, his mother was shaking her head and saying that she was worried about Charlie. And all those girls, I'm sure that they have been saying the same thing for years. It is what people say about him."
Mma Makutsi smiled too, but only weakly. "Yes, Mma," she said. "But this time it's different. I think now that we have to do something about him."
Mma Ramotswe sighed. Whatever it was, Mma Makutsi was probably right. But she was not sure that it was the responsibility of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency to deal with Charlie's problems—whatever they were. Charlie was an apprentice of Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors, and it would have to be Mr.
J.L.B. Matekoni who took action.
She looked across the room at her assistant, who was frowning with concentration as she poured the boiling water into the teapot. "Very well, Mma Makutsi," she said. "Tell me what the trouble is. What has our young friend been up to now?"

Yes, I wish customers would stop giving books one star and then writing a review about why they dislike the Nook. These reviews are meant to assist other interested consumers in making a purchase regarding the novel in question...not the Nook. Highly irritating. I haven't yet read this book but I also am looking forward to it...McCall-Smith always delivers.
It is amazing to me that after 12 books in the series Alexander McCall Smith can still keep the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency fresh and interesting, and he does! In Saturday Big Tent Wedding Party the big event is, of course, the long awaited wedding of Grace Makutsi and Phuti Radiphuti. There is so much to plan and Mma Makutsi is suffering from wedding jitters. Could the upheaval be the reason why both Mma Makutsi and Mma Ramotswe seem to be hallucinating all the sudden? Because surely they aren't really seeing the ghost of the little white van? Add in the usual shenanigans from Charlie, the apprentice mechanic who has definitely stepped too far over the line this time and a client whose cattle are being horrifically wounded in the middle of the night and Mma Ramotswe will need to keep her wits about her! Alexander McCall Smith delivers all the charm, humor, and generosity you would expect in Saturday Big Tent Wedding. Mma Ramotswe is her usual wise self dispensing wisdom that seems personally relevant even though it comes from the edge of the Kalahari Desert. It was nice to see that the characters continue to grow and develop. Many of her cases in this book offer more ambiguity than usual and Mma Ramotswe must be content with solutions that are less than the truth. Charlie, the apprentice mechanic, makes more of an appearance in this book. I enjoyed getting to know a side character better and I hope he continues to develop in future installments. In the end it is always a great source of comfort to spend some time with Mma Ramotswe and her family. A very satisfying and entertaining book!
In Botswana, Mma Precious Ramotswe grieves having to sell her van to a scrap dealer in an act of euthanasia as the vehicle has been her traveling companion for years. However, life still goes on at the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. Nervous Mr. Moeti refuses to enter the office so Mma Ramotswe agrees to meet him at a nearby café. Though obviously frightened and ready to flee, he hires her to look into the death of two cattle in the small village of Gaborone. Meanwhile Mma Ramotswe keeps seeing her van on the road as does her assistant Mma Grace Makutsi, who also is getting married soon to Mr. Phuti Radiphuti. Violet Sephotho announces she is running for Parliament while Mma Ramotswe tells her husband Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni learns an apprentice mechanic at his Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors Charlie apparently sired baby twins. As always with this wonderful series (see The Double Comfort Safari Club), Alexander McCall Smith provides a terrific entry in which the kindhearted Prudence works on resolving personal issues as well as her client's case. The story line gives readers a profound look at the Botswana culture through the heroine and the supporting ensemble cast. Consistently the best anti-hardboiled detective stories, fans will enjoy the wisdom of Mma Ramotswe as the owner of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. Harriet Klausner
How wonderful to see that McCall-Smith continues to give us additions to his wonderful series featuring Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makuti! I can't wait to read this! I agree that the price issue should have been addressed to Barnes and Noble, not addressed here where it could impact a wonderful author.
Why give the book a bad review when your problem is with Barnes and Noble? This is affecting the author, not the bookstore.
Those apprentices are hilarious!!!!!!

Oral cancer is cancer that starts in the mouth.
Oral cancer most commonly involves the lips or the tongue. It may also occur on the:
Most oral cancers are a type called squamous cell carcinoma. These cancers tend to spread quickly.
Smoking and other tobacco use are linked to most cases of oral cancer. Heavy alcohol use also increases the risk for oral cancer.
Other factors that may increase the risk for oral cancer include:
Some oral cancers begin as a white plaque (leukoplakia) or as a mouth ulcer.
Men develop oral cancer twice as often as women do. It is more common in men older than 40.
Oral cancer can appear as a lump or ulcer in the mouth that may be:
Other symptoms may include:
Your doctor or dentist will examine your mouth area. The exam may show:
Tests used to confirm oral cancer include:
X-rays and CT, MRI and PET scans may be done to determine if the cancer has spread.
Surgery to remove the tumor is usually recommended if the tumor is small enough. Surgery may be used together with radiation therapy and chemotherapy for larger tumors.
Depending on what type of treatment you require, supportive treatments that may be needed include:
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a cancer support group. Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
Approximately half of people with oral cancer will live more than 5 years after they are diagnosed and treated. If the cancer is found early, before it has spread to other tissues, the cure rate is nearly 90%. More than half of oral cancers have spread when the cancer is detected. Most have spread to the throat or neck.
Complications of oral cancer may include:
Oral cancer may be discovered when the dentist does a routine cleaning and examination.
Call your health care provider if you have a sore in your mouth or lip or a lump in the neck that does not go away within 1 month. Early diagnosis and treatment of oral cancer greatly increases the chance of survival.

A Bayesian Analysis Of The Unit Root Hypothesis Within An Unobserved Components Model
In this paper we extend some of Phillips's [4] results to nonlinear unobserved components models and develop a posterior odds ratio test of the unit root hypothesis based on flat and Jeffreys priors. In contrast to the analysis presented by Schotman and van Dijk [9], we utilize a nondegenerate structural representation of the components model that allows us to determine well-behaved Jeffreys priors, posterior densities under flat priors and Jeffreys priors, and posterior odds ratios for the unit root hypothesis without a proper prior for the level parameter. The analysis highlights the importance of the treatment of initial values for inference concerning stationarity and unit roots.

The light from the television illuminates her beautiful features as she sleeps.
I watch from across the room as the blankets rise and fall with each breath she takes.
Her chest. Her beautiful ivory breast.
Soft, supple, tender nipples.
If only I were that blanket right now.
But she sleeps. Until she wakes.
Turning over onto her side, the blanket moves and reveals her curves.
The hips I love to grab and those thighs, those powerful thighs.
Those thighs that when wrapped around me leave me motionless.
But she sleeps. Until she wakes.
I hear her breathing, I love that sound.
Especially when I can feel her breath on my skin.
When we make love and her breath quickens and gets louder.
Breathing that eventually turns into moans.
But she sleeps. Until she wakes.
I climb in and watch her from a closer distance.
Even more beautiful from my side of the bed.
My hand traces her thighs and her legs.
She stirs just a little, but she continues to sleep.
My lips touch the back of her neck. Instant goose bumps.
But she sleeps.
I trace the length of her back with my mouth from her neck down to her thighs.
Those powerful thighs.
She sleeps.
And with a single kiss from my lips on hers.
She wakes.

beautiful. I see it perfectly. great job
what a description......it made me have the vision of reality.....
My Heaven/Hell... My life exactly, except that if she wakes... I don't get joy, a kiss, or... Only more rejection...
Yes, it's true I've only ever had eyes for her... I'm a one woman man, never touched or been touched, by the body of any other woman on the planet... So, my wicked indulgent releases have been mental forays into the far reaches of the unknown... That aside, a petition you've made, an answer you'll get; firstname.lastname@example.com is the way to verbally touch the mind behind the man...

Like the other things of yours that I've read, I love this piece too. It's sweet and sensual, and I can just picture the woman you love, sleeping across the room, so beautiful you just can't possibly keep your hands off of her. I'll have to make sure my girlfriend reads this :) Lovely!

Mark your calendars: The Primetime Emmy Awards will be presented Sept. 19 on ABC, returning to an eve-of-the-new-season airdate instead of the late-August window the ceremony occupied the past two years on Fox Broadcasting Co.The awards will emanate from the Pasadena Civic Auditorium for the 16th consecutive year, despite a recent pronouncement by ABC — the TV home of the Emmys for the next four years — that it might seek a different venue. Non-televised creative arts awards will be handed out as usual a day earlier, Sept. 18. Fox moved the Emmycast from its traditional date, the Sunday before the start of the new prime time season, to late August in an effort to avoid stiff counterprogramming from the Big Three networks. By returning to mid-September, ABC undoubtedly will face tougher competition from the other webs, who are still miffed about the way the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences conducted the Emmy negotiations, resulting in the exclusive ABC deal (Daily Variety, Feb. 8). Emmy nominations will be announced July 22 (again at 5:35 a.m. PT for the network morning shows) at the Academy's Plaza Theater in North Hollywood. Eligible programs will have aired between June 1 last year and May 31, with an early entry deadline of April 5 and final deadline May 11. Nominating ballots will be sent to voters beginning June 9 and must be returned by June 25. After the nominations are announced, blue-ribbon panel judging to determine winners will be conducted Aug. 14-15. An exec producer for the Emmycast has yet to be selected.

This event has finished Took place on: Tuesday, 5th Mar 2013
The Holy Grail conjures up images of a romantic and heroic past, of magical journeys and brave knights.
What do we really know of its origin and meaning? It has entered the language as a phrase that embodies an infinitely desirable but attainable goal.
Is there any truth behind this intriguing object, or is it just one of the many myths of the Middle Ages?
This talk will consider why the symbol of the Holy Grail has proved so durable. It will follow the transformations of the medieval Grail through history, art, literature and theology.
The journey will take us across Europe and the Near East, and even to America as we unravel the cultural impact of Tennyson's Phantom Cup.

Update: On Thursday, April 10, 2014, a Scott County jury found 18-year-old Ricardo Ramon Bernal, guilty of first degree arson. Bernal will be sentenced in May.
In the arson case again Drew Whitehorn, a mistrial was declared. The Scott County Attorney's Office will determine the future prosecution of Whitehorn.
Both men faced trial following an incident on September 3, 2013. The men were charged with dumping gasoline on the porch of an occupied Davenport home and setting it on fire.
Davenport police have released information about an arson and drug investigation that brought the tactical unit to a home on Marquette St. this week.
Officers were seen surrounding the home in the 1500 block of Marquette around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2013. They were there to conduct a search of the home. They also had information that there were weapons inside.
The investigation began Sept. 3, when 18-year-old Ricardo Bernal is accused of pouring gasoline on the front porch of a home in the 700 block of E. 14th Street and lighting it on fire. He told police he set the fire in retaliation for not being paid for drugs. An adult and four children were inside the home at the time.
Police gathered information and got a search warrant for Bernal's home on Marquette St. They say they found over 10 pounds of marijuana, evidence of drug dealing, along with two loaded weapons. Bernal was taken into custody and charged with 1st degree arson, drug possession and delivery and conspiracy to commit a felony.
Another suspect, 19-year-old Drew Whitehorn of Parkview is also charged with arson.
Tyler Overman of Davenport is charged with a felon in possession of a firearm.

But there's no fiction in here—it's all science. Advertisement This new Hubble image shows IRAS 14568-6304, a young star that is cloaked in a haze of golden gas and dust. It appears to be embedded within an intriguing swoosh of dark sky, which curves through the image and obscures the sky behind.IRAS 14568-6304 is special because it is driving a protostellar jet, which appears here as the "tail" below the star. This jet is the leftover gas and dust that the star took from its parent cloud in order to form. While most of this material forms the star and its accretion disc — the disc of material surrounding the star, which may one day form planets — at some point in the formation process the star began to eject some of the material at supersonic speeds through space. This phenomenon is not only beautiful, but can also provide us with valuable clues about the process of star formation. I seriously can't think of any star captured by Hubble that is more beautiful than this.SPLOID is a new blog about awesome stuff.

He did not reply for over a week, at which point he answered a communication from the recommender, but has never made contact with me.
I can only conclude that this contractor is highly unreliable."

Diseases From Animals: A Primer
They come from giant Gambian rats and fuzzy bunnies. They come from puppies and pythons. Whether the animal is friend or food or foe, it can carry dangerous diseases.
There are at least 39 important diseases people catch directly from animals. There are at least 48 important diseases people get from the bite of bugs that bit an infected animal. And there are at least 42 important diseases that people get by ingesting or handling food or water contaminated with animal feces.

You can do yoga at any age -- really! It's just a matter of picking what type of yoga you do and working within your abilities. It might even help you age better, keeping you flexible and building strength through low-impact moves.

Some are as old as memory: rabies, bubonic plague, food poisoning. Others have only recently emerged: monkeypox, West Nile encephalitis, Legionnaires' disease. And some, such as highly lethal bird flu, we fear even though they haven't -- yet -- spread in humans.
People have lived with animals for eons. There's a reason for that. They don't just make us feel better. They actually contribute to our health. People who keep pets tend to have lower cholesterol levels and lower blood pressure. They tend to get more exercise and to feel less lonely.
On the other hand, pets and other animals can get sick. And some of these illnesses can be quite dangerous. This article offers an overview of these diseases -- and how to avoid them.
Why Animal-Borne Diseases Matter
Diseases passed to humans from animals are called zoonoses. What makes one of these diseases important? Two things, says zoonosis expert Lawrence T. Glickman, VMD, DrPH, professor of veterinary epidemiology and environmental health at Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine, West Lafayette, Ind.
"If you ask Americans in general what is the most important zoonosis, most would say rabies," Glickman tells WebMD. "It is something they fear, it is in the news. But in terms of risk, there are only zero to two human cases a year in the U.S. It's one of those zoonoses that are important because of their seriousness, but not their frequency: rabies, tularemia, plague, monkeypox, listeria, anthrax. These are diseases that are very serious if one gets them but which are relatively uncommon."
On the flip side, Glickman notes, are animal-borne diseases that are important because they are fairly common even if not often fatal. Cat-scratch fever, for example, infects as many as 20,000 Americans a year. And an estimated 4%-20% of U.S. kids get roundworm from dogs and cats.
"Even these diseases can be quite serious," Glickman says. Here's a roundup of a few important zoonoses:

I listen to them, I dance to them and sometimes, I even sing along.
But do you sometimes stop and listen what are you really listening to? What is the real story and history behind that song?
When you dance to them, you make fun of death. You make fun of the current violence and corruption going on in México. It is the Mexican romanticising death.
That is for me the act of dancing to narco corridos: the dance of the death.
Dancing on blood, on the skulls and corpses of those that have died due to these violence.
I almost feel the blood on my feet as I move along.
And despite all these, the songs and the performer still ask La Virgen de Guadalupe or La Santa Muerte por su protección.
La plebada llendo alterada rumbo al gran party del patrón. Chaparrita, yo llevo en caravana empecherada a tomarnos unas vodkas. Con mi compa mal verde y la proteccion de la Virgen de Guadalupe, yo te protejo con mi cuerno de chivo.
The objectification of women in the narco corridos. Seen as two things: another weapon to achieve success in the drug business or just another object with which to pleasure men.
I find it interesting that many women have accepted this paper of mujer cabrona siempre al 100.
Almost a selfish relationship is born as a couple dances to narcocorridos, ignoring the deaths that songs are inspired on.

Let me disagree with you, JCR data model are not relational for sure. And it is more like an extended XML model, operates with Nodes and Properties with an exception that a single node may have more that 1 parent. So applying SQL language that design to work with relational model to advanced XML model is a mistake. > Requiring full XQuery support would have been a problem because it > essentially would have increased the complexity to implement JCR to be > *bigger* than XQuery; basically making it an XML database + versioning + > observation + locking + versioning + transient space. Let me repeat myself again: XML DB offers out of the box: Transactions Locking Triggers, observers Spaces (logical) Access control Management interface PLUS some that JR does not have Hot backup/restore Better clustering Better performance So as you can see by putting JCR on top of XML DB you REDUCE amount of work. You just left with versioning to implement ....

No need to define any subsets, just integrate with eXist/BerkeleyXMLDB/Tamino, etc.. and you have XQuery 1.0 XPath 2.0 I want to stress out that by dropping XPath and not introducing XQuery JCR has nothing to offer except versioning in comparison with XML DB, that will be the good choice to build home-grown Content Repository. And it has been proven a few time, even a few days ago: [Subject: Jackrabbit is dead (for us)] I'm sorry to inform you that we did not select Jackrabbit as the CMS of the platform we're currently developing (well designing right now). [Subject: Jackrabbit is dead (for us)] [David Nuescheler reply] I am convinced that improving Jackrabbit (keep in mind, this is an Opensource project) could cover your needs much quicker than, building your own repository from scratch.
