"Best Audiobook of 2010!"
Rose Drayton lives on the Edge, between the world of the Broken (where people drive cars, shop at Wal-Mart, and magic is a fairy tale) and the Weird (where blueblood aristocrats rule, changelings roam, and the strength of your magic can change your destiny). Only Edgers like Rose can easily travel from one world to the next, but they never truly belong in either.
They met in the middle of a Boston street mugging. By the time Johnny Anziano helped rescue the new shop-owner on the block, he'd fallen completely in love. But it seemed like the romance was over before it even started. Because in less than a week, Chelsea Spencer was getting married. But then she asked Johnny for a favor that left the aspiring restaurateur reeling - a "business" proposition a man would be a fool to accept - and a damn fool not to.

So his father felt like she needed a maternal figure and then married Lady Tremaine who had two daughters of her own, Anastasia and Drizella. They were not very kind. The stepmother gave her daughters fancy dresses and wonderful expensive toys while Cinderella has gotten nothing. Soonly after his father death her stepmother took over his house, all his wealth and goods and forced the poor Cinderella to become her servant in her own house. Cinderella had to rise early every morning and spend her day cooking meals, scrubbing floors, washing dishes and taking order from her stepsisters.

The Fairy Godmother warned her magic would end at midnight and everything would be as it was before.
As soon as she arrived at the ball everyone was speechless, she was the most beautiful young woman at the castle. She looked so different that not even her Stepmother or her stepsisters recognized her. Then the Prince felt in love with Cinderella. They danced all night long when suddenly, Cinderella noticed that the clock was about to strike midnight. Then she quickly tried to say goodbye to the Prince and ran back home. But one of Cinderella's delicate glass slippers had fallen off on the steps of the castle and the Prince wanted to know who it belonged to started searching every house of the kingdom.

The Fallen Angel
Daniel Silva
The Fallen Angel
Release Date: 6/25/2013
LIST PRICE: $9.99 (you save $2.00)
Main description:
After narrowly surviving his last operation, Gabriel Allon, the wayward son of Israeli intelligence, has taken refuge behind the walls of the Vatican, where he is restoring one of Caravaggio's greatest masterpieces. But early one morning he is summoned to St. Peter's Basilica by Monsignor Luigi Donati, the all-powerful private secretary to His Holiness Pope Paul VII. The body of a beautiful woman lies broken beneath Michelangelo's magnificent dome. The Vatican police suspect suicide, though Gabriel believes otherwise. So, it seems, does Donati, who calls upon Gabriel to quietly pursue the truth—with one caveat.
Gabriel soon learns that the dead woman had uncovered a dangerous secret that threatens a global criminal enterprise involved in looting timeless treasures of antiquity. But there is more to this dark network than just greed. And unless Gabriel can prevent a mysterious operative from committing a devastating act of sabotage, the world will be plunged into a conflict of apocalyptic proportions . . .
Review quote:
"Another heart-pounding escapade of art restorer and Israeli intelligence legend Gabriel Allon gets masterful treatment."
Review quote:
"Daniel Silva's The Fallen Angel soars with authenticity….The Fallen Angel delivers the goods….Riveting espionage adventures that have timely, real-world relevance."
Review quote:
"His past 12 books, all featuring enigmatic spy/art restorer Gabriel Allon, have kept Silva's name high in the ranks; the latest, the Vatican-set The Fallen Angel, seems unlikely to reverse the trend."
Review quote:
"It's become almost obligatory for lovers of high level thrillers to read each new Daniel Silva novel as soon as it appears. With his by now trademark character, Gabriel Allon...Silva just about guarantees a couple of days of terrific entertainment."
Review quote:
"Meticulously researched....The Fallen Angel is a first-class spy mystery painted on a grand scale."
Short description/annotation:
Art restorer, assassin, spy—Gabriel Allon returns in The Fallen Angel, another blockbuster espionage thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva. The acclaimed author of Portrait of a Spy, Silva ("a world class practitioner of spy fiction" —Washington Post) is an undisputed master of the genre who has brought "new life to the international thriller" (Newsday).
A breathtaking adventure that races around the globe, The Fallen Angel begins in Rome, where Allon is called upon to investigate a murder at the Vatican, one with disastrous repercussions that could plunge the world into a conflict of apocalyptic proportions. If you haven't yet been drawn into Daniel Silva's thrilling universe of intrigue, danger, and exceptional spycraft, start here—and see why the Philadelphia Inqurer declares that, "The enigmatic Gabriel Allon remains one of the most intriguing heroes of any thriller series."

FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. – A Missouri National Guard engineer recently earned an Army Commendation Medal for his efforts on a surveying mission to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Sgt. Justin White, who lives in Springfidield, led a survey team during his two-week annual training mission that will help create a design plan to build a potential migrant camp at Guantanamo Bay for U.S. Army South, which oversees all U.S. Army operations south of the continental United States and Mexico.
White, a technical engineer with Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 35th Engineer Brigade, of Fort Leonard Wood, was presented the award in Cuba by Maj. Gen. Frederick S. Rudesheim, U.S. Army South commanding general.
"It was a surprise," White said of receiving the award. "It was kind of a shock to get an award from a two-star general."
Lt. Col. Scott Bach, who led the 18 members of the Army and Air Missouri National Guard on the survey and design mission, said White was very deserving of the award as his team provided the most accurate data.
"His survey team consistently had the best data," said Bach, who is commander of the 235th Construction Management Team, of Fort Leonard Wood. "When you are out collecting data, if you make an error in your process, it doesn't come into the computer aided design systems very well. His team was consistently the best and their data came in smoothly. So we wanted to recognize him for that."
White, who led team three, helped survey almost 200 acres of land with two other teams during the two weeks. He said this was his first, big real-world mission he had been a part of.
"Most of it has been training up until then," said White, who has been in the Guard for six years. "The most I had ever surveyed before for a real-world project was about a half acre of land for a parking lot. For that to all come together is something to be proud of."
In his civilian career, White is a supervisor with Mid-Am Metal Forming Inc., of Rogersville. A 2004 graduate of Dixon High School, White is six credit hours short of an associate's degree in computer drafting and design from ITT Technical Institute in Springfield.
White is supported in his military career by his family and friends.

Three people charged in connection to an alleged Dec. 29 escape from the Leavenworth County Jail appeared in court Wednesday.
Three people charged in connection to an alleged Dec. 29 escape from the Leavenworth County Jail appeared in court Wednesday.
Joshua A. Showalter, 25, made his second court appearance for a charge of obstructing apprehension or prosecution. Amber D. Hall, 23, also appeared Wednesday in Leavenworth County District Court for a charge of obstructing apprehension or prosecution. And James R. Hill, 29, appeared in court for a charge of aiding an escape.
Showalter, Hall and Hill are accused of providing assistance in some way to Raheem K. Armstead. Armstead is charged with aggravated escape from custody for allegedly running away from the Leavenworth County Jail Dec. 29.
At the time, Armstead was a trusty at the jail. Authorities allege he fled while taking garbage to an outside receptacle. He was arrested Dec. 31.
Hill is accused of assisting Armstead to escape. Hall and Showalter are accused of harboring, concealing or aiding Armstead.
Wednesday in court, a preliminary was scheduled for Showalter. The hearing is set for Jan. 25.
Showalter's court-appointed attorney, Benjamin Casad, asked District Judge Gunnar Sundby if he would consider allowing the defendant to be released on his own recognizance.
"He's got a job," Casad said.
The attorney expressed concern his client may lose the job if he remains in jail.
Sundby reviewed Showalter's criminal history. The judge denied the request for what is called an "OR" bond. And based on further review, Sundby said he felt the bond should be increased to $75,000.
It was said that bond had been set at $17,500.
Showalter appeared in court later in the day for motions to revoke his probation for two earlier cases. Casad suggested these cases be taken up at the time of the preliminary hearing because one of the allegations made against Showalter in the revocation proceedings deals with the new obstruction charge.
The revocation cases were continued until Jan. 25.
Sundby said Wednesday he tentatively was scheduling a Jan. 25 preliminary hearing for Hall, but her court-appointed attorney, Roger Horsky, indicated he may have a conflict in the case. Hall was in the custody of officers from the Leavenworth County Jail when she made her court appearance.
When Hill appeared in court Wednesday, Assistant County Attorney Sherri Becker presented a copy of an amended complaint to Sundby. The amended complaint included a misdemeanor charge of carrying a concealed weapon in addition to the aiding an escape charge. The weapon Hill is alleged to have concealed was identified in the complaint as a dagger.
Hill, who is free on bond, said he has hired an attorney but the lawyer was not present for the court appearance.
Sundby scheduled a status hearing in Hill's case for Jan. 25.
Armstead is next scheduled to appear in court Friday.

What is Succession Planning & How Does It Impact My Agency?
OPM's succession management plan is a fundamental component of our overall human capital planning and priorities. It supports our workforce planning by providing direction for managing critical leadership development resources and helps ensure the best use of those resources to achieve organizational goals and objectives. It also provides a mechanism for assuring continuity of leadership by creating a methodical process to identify leadership needs and develop plans to meet those needs. The plan also supports the identification of highly talented individuals who have exceptional talent and performance and should be identified and advanced based on merit. Our succession management plan supports overall employee development. Employees are often hired knowing that they will require continued training to meet the needs of their jobs, and succession management helps justify the cost of training devoted to leadership development.
In our last completed study, during the spring of 2010 (2011 is under way) after an Agency reorganization, the Agency reviewed all leadership positions to determine their succession planning risk level. This was done by senior leadership and HR taking a fresh look at whom internally could fill leadership positions with a high likelihood of turnover; and if candidates did not exist, external pools had to be identified to fill the positions. For example: were there candidates readily available at other Federal agencies, or could targeted recruitment efforts in the private/nonprofit sector be prosperous. As a result of the analysis and research, all OPM's leadership positions received either a moderate or low succession risk level—no positions are currently at a succession planning high risk level.
Second, retain people in the leadership positions until candidates are considered ready to compete for the positions.
Third, recruit for individuals with the technical and management experience to move immediately into the leadership positions.
Fourth, reorganize the functions and positions to meet the mission with the talent from the first three options.
If it is projected that there is insufficient availability of talent to fill all the positions needed to meet the mission, and the mission will not change, then, reorganizing positions may be needed. Span of control and number of reporting levels may need to be adjusted to meet the mission with available leadership talent. These concepts are are detailed in OPM'S informative manual written by OPM's Human Capital Assessment team titled: A Guide To Strategic Leadership Succession Management Model located at: http://www.opm.gov/hcaaf

This release has new support for the Git in addition to its already-existing support for the Mercurial distributed version-control system (DVCS).
This new freedom of choice means that programmers can use the DVCS tool that they prefer and work on projects with any other software developer, regardless of their DVCS tool preference.
"We know that having to convince a whole development team to use a single tool can be a tough sell, but with Kiln Harmony, developers can use whichever version-control system they want," said Kevin Gessner, Kiln team lead. "They can use Mercurial and Git and still work together. The real goal was to allow development teams to use both systems interchangeably at the individual level and take out that big decision."
Kiln Harmony now has a streamlined project management interface, plus repository management and project setting pages are reduced to a single page for all configuration options. The firm promises "instant lightning-fast results" from its search interface. Results are immediately returned when typing, giving instant access to all changesets, files, and code.
"Kiln Harmony Web Hooks can now help release managers that host web applications in the cloud. Using Kiln Harmony, release managers can easily deploy source code directly to Azure or AppHarbor, saving time and the bother of a manual deployment. Code reviewers often have to reject code that isn't quite ready for primetime. With the new 'Needs Work' status, a reviewer can let a code author know that they're on the right track, even if it's not quite ready," says the company.
