CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Jan. 20, 2014) - Contact Exploration Inc. ("Contact" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CEX) is pleased to provide an operations update on its activities in the Kakwa area of Alberta.
Operated Activities
Contact holds a 25% working interest in all Montney wells and associated facilities on a 16 3/4 section block in the Kakwa, Alberta area, other than in the 13-17-63-5W6 Well ("13-17 Well") in which the Company's working interest is 37.5% before payout, 25% after payout. Contact is the operator of all wells and facilities on this 16 3/4 section block.
The central compression and condensate stabilization facility located at 16-7-63-5W6 ("16-7 Facility") has now been fully constructed and commissioned. The 16-7 Facility will be used to compress natural gas from the Contact-operated Kakwa area wells for transportation to a third party gas plant, as well as to stabilize and store condensate prior to trucking liquids to sales off-take facilities. Over the past two weeks the 16-7 Facility has demonstrated the ability to receive up to 14mmcf/d of natural gas production and associated condensate production. The commissioning of the 16-7 Facility extended from mid-December 2013 to mid-January 2014. Contact's December 2013 Kakwa production was thereby restricted due to additional downtime of the Kakwa wells while the 16-7 Facility underwent commissioning.
The Contact operated wells at 13-17-63-5W6, 14-30-63-5W6, 3-19-63-5W6 and 5-23-63-6W6 are currently flowing through the 16-7 Facility at aggregate gross production rates of up to 8mmcf/d natural gas and 1,200bbl/d condensate (2mmcf/d and 300bbl/d net to Contact). This flush production rate is expected to decline as production continues, in keeping with normal production declines. However, Contact anticipates that production from wells currently being drilled, completed or tied-in at Kakwa will continue to increase the Company's overall production levels.
Contact recently completed and production tested the 16-25-63-5W6 Montney well ("16-25 Well"). During a short production test, the 16-25 Well demonstrated initial deliverability and condensate yields consistent with the Company's other operated wells at Kakwa. Contact notes that the results from production testing are not necessarily indicative of the long term performance or of the ultimate recovery from the 16-25 Well. The 16-25 Well is now being equipped to produce into the 16-7 Facility and Contact expects this well to be brought onto production in early February 2014.
Contact has completed drilling of the 16-17-63-5W6 Montney well ("16-17 Well") to a total depth of 5,191m. The 16-17 Well was drilled from the same pad as Contact's first Kakwa Montney well at 13-17. Drilling operations were carried out on time and on budget, taking 42 days from spud to rig release. Completion operations are underway on the 16-17 Well and Contact expects to undertake production testing of the well in late January 2014. With success, the 16-17 Well will be equipped for production into the 16-7 Facility, with production expected to commence in mid-February 2014.
Also at Kakwa, Contact is currently drilling a Montney well at 15-30-63-5W6 ("15-30 Well"), the first of two back-to-back wells expected to be drilled by the Company from the drilling pad at 3-30-63-5W6. The 15-30 Well was spud on December 31, 2013 and is expected to take approximately 45 days to reach total depth. Upon casing the 15-30 Well, Contact intends to immediately spud an additional well from the 3-30 pad ("02/14-30 Well"), with spudding expected to occur in February 2014. The 02/14-30 Well is being designed to penetrate the Upper Montney D4 interval. Contact expects to complete both the 15-30 Well and the 02/14-30 Well upon concluding drilling operations on the 02/14-30 Well. Contact anticipates drilling and completion operations on the 15-30 Well and the 02/14-30 Well to be finalized in April 2014 and, with success, expects both wells to be equipped and flowing into the 16-7 Facility in May 2014.
As previously announced Contact intends to employ one rig year round at Kakwa. The Company is currently permitting a new multi-well pad at 7-19-63-5W6 to facilitate the drilling of two long-reach (approximately 1.5 mile) horizontal wells between April and July 2014. The Company expects to complete these wells consecutively once the second well has finished drilling.
Non-Operated Activities
Adjoining the 16 3/4 section block discussed above, Contact holds a 23.75% working interest in two non-operated sections at Kakwa. The Company participated in the drilling of one Montney well on these lands, at 14-2-63-6W6 ("14-2 Well"). The 14-2 Well was placed into production in September 2013 but was shut in for substantially all of November and December 2013 due to the operator's infrastructure restrictions. The participants in the 14-2 Well met in late 2013 to discuss production strategies, and the operator agreed to re-commence production at restricted but stable rates. The 14-2 Well re-commenced production on January 7, 2014 as part of establishing a longer term performance profile, and determining an optimum go-forward production strategy, for the well.

Nexus phones have historically been available in only basic colors. Remember the white Galaxy Nexus, and how long people were dreaming of a white Nexus 4? That was the case whe Google released the Nexus 5 last year, too, with black and white as the only color choices available to buyers. But then the rumors started surfacing.
Maybe there would be many colors for the Nexus 5 soon! No, that was just a bad Photoshop job. But the leak of the red Nexus 5 looked quite convincing. Then we saw it again and again. Finally, Google today released the Bright Red Nexus 5 on the Play Store for everyone to purchase!
I have to admit, Bright Red was an interesting choice on Google's part, and very out of character for a Nexus device. It looks pretty nice, though, and comes with no price premium. If you want one, you can pick up a 16GB model for $349 and a 32GB model for $399. Hit the source link to check it out. Now that the Bright Red Nexus 5 is officially available, will you be getting one?

DRAMA CLUB: Good Doctor Episodes 15-16 (4/4)
Welcome to the last installment for this week's episodes of Good Doctor! I know lately we've talked about character growth and relationship improvements, but have you stopped to think about the characters who haven't changed? It was a little hard, but Lore, Powerz and I have come up with characters that we feel haven't improved for the better or at all for that matter.
This what Lore had to say: There was so much character growth going on in the last two episodes that it is hard to find a character that has not matured. When I think about it, there are a few, namely our bad guy Vice President (or is that ex-Vice President) Kang Hyun Tae. This character has done nothing but scheme and plot, even though it was revealed he has very sick son who needs an operation that only the Good Doctors of the University Hospital can potentially perform (which, according to the man himself, was the reason he needed to turn the hospital upside down to make it a place he could "trust"). Of course, due to his son's illness, he has made some kinds of concessions, but in the end with all of his evil doings he has yet to change his ways for the better.
Another character who has not shown any type of growth is our henchman resident, Woo Il Kyu. From his dastardly deeds (letting Eun Ok out of her locked room to ruin Shi On's chances of becoming a Doctor) to his negative comments, Il Kyu has shown viewers only one side of him – his bad side.
Park Choon Sung, Shi On's Dad, is another character that seems to thwart all opportunities to change his ways. A drunk, first-class jerk who beat his wife and son, he has done nothing but continue his violent ways, even with a terminal illness. Wow, if even a terminal illness can't change this guy I do not know what will.
I suppose it is a good thing that there are only a handful of characters in Good Doctor that have made little growth. The majority of the characters have gained clarity and maturity from interacting with each other, which has made Good Doctor an interesting and endearing watch.
Seems like Powerz has some similar thoughts: In the Good Doctor drama, there are characters who excel more than others, but these three characters seem to be living life in limbo: Assistant Director Kang Hyun Tae, Director Choi Woo Seok, and Doctor Kim Jae Joon. Is it a coincidence that they are all management level characters?
Not only does Assistant Director Kang Hye Tae (Kwak Do Won) not show any character growth in this drama, he refuses to let his own son get treatment at Sung Won hospital because he doesn't "trust" the hospital. He knows how well the pediatric department is working, yet he still has some reservations. I kept thinking that maybe his actions are for political reasons. I am baffled by his actions. Anyway, who else would be able to perform his son's surgery? Assistant Director Kang is shooting himself in the foot for being too careful.
Secondly, I am a bit disappointed in Director Choi Woo Seok's (Chun Ho Jin's) role in Good Doctor. He has the same shocked expression throughout the show and there aren't many scenes that involve him. I would have liked to see him interact more with the hospital staff. When things got too tough, he kept threatening to quit his job. He kept saying that he made a mistake so he must quit his job, but we don't know what he did or why. I thought that maybe he just wants his old doctor life back and managing a hospital is too stressful for him. As I mentioned in my review this week, he was also close to General Manager, Yoo Chae Kyung (Kim Min Seo), but they only had a handful of scenes together.
Lastly, Dr. Kim Jae Joon, the Hepatobiliary-Pancreatic Surgery department Chief, doesn't seem to be changing at all. He probably represents the sentiment of all the other doctors in the hospital who only think about money and power. Jae Joon, however, is also very serious about treating his patients. He made mistakes with the preemie patient, Lee Dong Soo, but he remains professional with patient Na In Young (Eom Hyeon Kyeong) and even tight-lipped about the surgery as requested from In Young. I would have liked to see him change his attitude about the pediatric department and show the members of the pediatric department the respect that they deserve. Good Doctor fans might remember the time he grabbed doctor Kim Do Han by the collar for stealing his patient Dong Soo. I would be very pleased if Jae Joon can at least give Do Han a handshake.
Looking at my partners' thoughts, finding a character who hasn't changed at all is proving much harder to find. I can just echo their sentiments regarding former Assistant Director Kang Hyun Tae. I understand his son is sick and in need of a surgery, but the fact that he can't trust the excellent surgeons in his own hospital to do it means he's at a loss. Like Shi On said, just because you get all these expensive machines and tools, if parents can't get the surgery then what's the point? Turning the hospital into a for-profit business isn't going to guarantee great & successful surgeries. If anything, it could make the doctors more greedy by motivating them to only complete surgeries on patients with money. I had hoped he'd show some improvement after learning that the hospital in Boston was communicating with Yoon Seo, but it just made him colder.
Like Lore and Powerz said, I'm not even sure what's going on with Woo Il Kyu. At first he was helping Choong Man, but after a while he became such a douche all by himself. With his colleagues being more warm towards Shi On, you'd think he's get the message he was on his own, but I guess not. What's his motivation? Was he promised a higher position or something? Maybe he's just mean now because he thinks Choong Man still needs him. I've given up on him already. He's more like a major background character to me.
Lastly, I may be in the minority on this, but I really want to learn more about President Lee Yeo Won. I understand she wasn't treated in the best way by her stepdaughter, but I wonder if she has tried to see things from her point of view? It was said that Chae Kyung really liked her before she married her father, so what changed? I'm not saying she's a bad character, but I've seen nothing from her that shows she's a victim of Chae Kyung's fury or she's disinterested in trying to truly understand her.
So with that I'll ask, who do you think hasn't changed or shown any growth? Is it anyone we mentioned, or an entirely different character? Let us know!

10 Tyson Fury v Anthony Joshua (Heavyweight)
Win or lose against Wladimir Klitschko on November 28, Tyson Fury is one of the biggest names in British boxing, as is the fearsome Anthony Joshua. The Londoner has looked levels above his overmatched foes so far, and needs to get past Dillian Whyte for the British title on December 12.
However, this clash would do massive business in the UK where both men are household names.

Small Hotels
For those who long to spend their vacation with all privacy and comfort they can possibly get, small hotels pose an excellent option for a secluded stay. Exclusively designed to please the customers' sights with impeccable exteriors and interiors, these establishments often take after cozy villas and mansions in their style, creating most untroubled atmosphere. Some small hotels prefer to stick to authenticity and classic approaches, while others tend to enrich their setting with modernist motifs and contemporary decisions. All of this, however, is secondary to modern conveniences and amenities of perfect quality, which come as inevitable must. Due to a smaller number of customers, you can be sure that dedicated personnel will treat you with great attention, making sure all your needs are met. These hotels may not be as grand as their larger rivals, yet when it comes to the quality of service and the atmosphere, they are genuine paragons of hotel business. Here at Escapio you may find a complementary list of small hotels from a vast number of destinations, enough to fit any taste. You can always count on perfect conditions for a relaxed and untroubled holiday, mouth-watering cuisine, spacious accommodation and, of course, unique atmosphere in each of these original establishments.

From Helotes, Texas, USA:
Is there a form of diabetes that affects only children and will gradually decrease or become non-existent as their age increases? It would be something similar to gestational diabetes in women.
Sorry, but there is no such disease. Please read more about the types of diabetes at Classification and Diagnosis of Diabetes.

Mass affluent investors are beginning to regain confidence following the economic downturn, according to the Spring 2013 Merrill Edge Report.
Those investors, which have between $50,000 and $250,000 in investable assets, are implementing lessons learned, according to a study of the financial concerns and priorities of the mass affluent released by Bank of America, Merrills parent. Consequently, the mass affluent are cutting debt in favor of long-term investments.
Among mass affluent investors, those in Gen Y (ages 18-34) have been especially adept in learning from the recessions impact, so theyre saving early and aggressively for retirement. These young investors have saved an average of $55,000 for retirement, the Merrill Edge Report revealed; Gen Ys mass affluent started saving at the age of 22, thirteen years before the average Baby Boomer started saving at the age of 35 (which is older than the oldest Gen Y investors).
Many mass affluent, particularly young investors, are focusing on their retirement goals by saving earlier and planning now for the lifestyle they want to live during their retirement years, Alok Prasad, head of Merrill Edge, said in a statement. As markets continue to improve and the mass affluent invest optimistically for the future, they will seek tools and guidance that help them best pursue their long-term retirement goals.
The Merrill Edge Report asserted that Gen Y investors prefer to utilize technology to manage their finances. Over half (54%) of the Gen Y mass affluent responding to the study said they value online tools, including budget calculators, to help them stay on track, compared to just 28% of mass affluent respondents ages 51-64. Additionally, 55% of Gen Y valued the ability to manage their banking and investing accounts in one place.
Young investors have grown to depend on technology as a way to communicate, entertain and now manage their financial lives, Prasad stated. Through the availability of online tools and the ability to view and access their banking and investing accounts in one place online, Merrill Edge is addressing the needs of the next generation of investors through its convenient, easy-to-use platform while providing consumers access to capabilities from Bank of America and Merrill Lynch.
Merrills report also found that Gen Y will be less reliant on government during retirement. About half (49%) of Gen Y respondents expected to rely on the public sector to partially fund their retirement, compared to those much closer to retirement (ages 51-64) who were relying much more heavily on public sector programs, at 68%.

At Costco, you can buy 24 chicken thighs (bone-in or boneless) which is packaged in 6 packs of 4 thighs. Anne and I both like the thighs, the meat is a little more moist and tastier, and, quick frankly it's a little cheaper. When you're cooking for 2, 4 thighs is about the right size, if you're both hungry you have 2 pieces of meat, if not it's a manageable number of leftovers. The problem I've had with this is that I need to decide 2 days in advance to make sure that the chicken is thawed enough for the Foreman. I want to be able to decide at lunch time that we're doing chicken for dinner and be able to cook it at dinner time.
I don't know about you, but I've need successfully defrosted meat in the microwave. No matter how often I turn it, no matter what "power level" I use, I get the same result. A piece of meat which is a little cooked the edge and yet frozen in the middle. It's like Jim Gaffigan's Hot Pockets routine.
I've done the "run the meat under warm water" method. Where it works (assuming you don't have the water too hot and pouch the chicken), I've always registered it as a waste of both clean water and the energy to heat it.
One day I was in the kitchen on a cold day and when I touched the stove. Of course it was a little warmer then the air since the pilots were keeping things a little warm. I said to myself:
Self, I bet it's just a little warmer in the oven then it is in here. I bet it's warm enough to defrost meat quicker without cooking it.
I was right. Now 5 or 6 hours before I cook I put whatever frozen meat I'm making into a casserole dish. A couple of hours in I take it out, break up the pieces, if applicable, and I'm ready to cook in a few hours.
Yes, this only works with a Gas oven.
Share and Enjoy!

Topping the AFL with 6 HR, finishing second with 21 RBI, and batting .313 was enough for the 22-year old to take home the 2014 Joe Black Award.
Does this award predict future success? Well, previous winners include Kris Bryant, Nolan Arenado, Tommy Hanson, and Dustin Ackley, all of whom have/had Bowman Chrome prospect autographs that are/were in the high end spectrum at one point or another.
I think we can reasonably assume Bird will get a bump in pricing, and it has already begun, but I think he is still a good buy.

MILAN - The owners of Red Wing Sand and Gravel are challenging zoning changes approved in August by the Town Board, which has spent two years working to prohibit mining in this Northern Dutchess town.
The owners filed papers Thursday in state Supreme Court in Dutchess County in response to the Town Board's second attempt to adopt a new comprehensive plan and land-use regulations that would ban mining in Milan.
"Given the procedural and substantive infirmities with each of the actions by the town, Red Wing will continue to process its application for a mined land reclamation permit with the New York state Department of Environmental Conservation," said company Vice President Paul Doherty.
Red Wing Sand and Gravel submitted an application in 2002 to use 69 acres of a 192.24-acre site on Turkey Hill Road for mining. The plan drew strong opposition that ultimately resulted in the election of a Town Board that has sought to change the local zoning rules.
A January 2006 vote by the board to abolish the town's "floating" zoning designation was challenged in court by Red Wing, prompting town officials to repeat the process in December 2006. In February 2007, a state Supreme Court ruling overturned all changes to the town's zoning law and comprehensive plan due to procedural problems.
In its latest filing, Red Wing's owners contend the town failed to follow correct procedures in trying to ban mining.
"The Town Board failed to discuss the environmental impacts of its actions at any of its meetings, failed to properly disseminate information to Town Board members and other agencies to allow for meaningful board member and public participation, failed to discuss existing conditions in the town and the impact of these actions on those existing conditions, and provided no meaningful discussion of alternatives or mitigation measures," company officials wrote.
Company officials contend the zoning change demonstrates why the use of sand and gravel deposits should regulated by the state.
"Local land-use controls should not be allowed to govern because they are often based on irrational fears and 'nimby-ism,'" Red Wing officials wrote, a reference to the common refrain "not in my back yard."
"Nobody wants a mine in their back yard, but everyone needs sand and gravel," they wrote. "If local communities are permitted to ban mining activities, then there will be no sand and gravel available for anyone."
Milan Supervisor John "Van" Talmage could not be reached for comment but has said previously that legal advice received by towns suggests they have the authority to ban mining.
"We have been lead to believe by our lawyers and other lawyers in other towns that the town, through 'home rule,' has the right to do this, and we've been informed that other towns have done this," Talmage said previously.

When the stranded couple whom Joanne H. Webb and her husband, Harold, welcomed into their rural Baltimore County home to use the telephone last November turned out to be armed robbers, the 66-year-old woman fought back.
"He got the gun about halfway out when I took the phone and clobbered him as hard as I could," Mrs. Webb testified yesterday in the trial of a Gardenville man charged in the Nov.16 murder of her husband.
Mrs. Webb said she chased the man from the house, hurling objects at him and dodging bullets from his gun, one of which pierced her nightgown.

Moon Rings #3 of 3 in series. Oil on canvas 48"h X 36"w.
My statement is simple. " I do not as an artist subscribe to the belief or theory that one must be disciplined in one style or medium. Art is the interpretation of a subject, whether it be internal or external, and my thought is that some mediums or styles work better than others. Therefore, if I have the ability to share my interpretations across a spectrum, then I should pursue that." I enjoy painting in the drip 'n pour style. I work on drawing the viewer into the artwork so their minds eye completes the piece through recognition of subject form. I started experimenting in abstracts and various forms of impressionism very early. After serving in the military, I attended college and picked up where I left off. Back in the 80's I...

Unborn Babies, babies, toddlers, pregnant women, seniors, teens, youngsters and adults – did we miss out anyone? And then… what about computing systems, data centres, servers and computing environments?
Look around. Across us is a snowballing of multiple sources of EMF at our homes, work places and other spaces such as schools, hospitals, malls, public spaces etc. The key-trends being –
- Our addiction to 24*7 hyper connectivity and the age of "smart"
- Advent of IOT, M2M and Sensor networks
- Rise of electronic consumerism
EMF radiation and EMF fields are key risks to biological and computing systems. As a generation, we have a million times higher exposure to EMF radiation compared to our parents or grandparents. Our cellphones, WiFi and microwaves are so convenient that they are actually inconvenient. Our bodies fail to evolve so quickly as the multiplication in EMF radiation fields around us. This has resulted in aggravated occurences of critical ailments such as Alzheimers, Parkinsons, Cancer, Infertility and Autism.
- EMF radiation are known to penetrate 75% of the developing brains of babies and toddlers as compared to adults.
- High exposure to EMF radiation for an unborn baby or infant could lead to Autism spectral disorder and cognitive impairment in kids.
- 1 in 64 children in India suffer from Autism and India contributes to 40% of the world Autism population.
- There has been a 30% increase in infertility rates in India in last half-decade (International institute for population sciences, Mumbai 2010). 1 in 5 Indian couples suffer from infertility.
- Over the last 3 decades (1984-2011), there has been 5 times increase in Parkinson disease in India. (Gouriedevi M, Rao VN, Prakashi R 1984,2011)
- The national Cancer registry in India reveals 1 in 8 men and 1 in 9 women expected to develop some form of cancer in their lifetimes.
- By 2020, the total number of cancer cases is expected to go up to 1.73 million in India, up from 736,000 cases in 2016. (India)
Ironically, EMF radiation has a remarkably "unproven" relationship with all these ailments. These figures point towards a global epidemic on the rise. The epidemiological evidence linking EMF radiation to these health problems is not fully formed and may take many more decades to form. However, good sense will tell you it is better to be safe than sorry.
How Computing threatens computers.
The effects of EMF are not limited to humans. Excess radiation generated by intensive computing environments produce harmful effects on IT equipment and in-premise personnel reducing the service reliability, availability and employee productivity. There are multiple standards that legislate EMF at work place and data centres. These include (not an exhaustive list) – ICNIRP 1998, EMC 2004/108/EC (European Union), MICE classification of equipment environment, CEFAW (UK, July 2016), EN/BS 61 000 4-8, EN55022, EN55011, ISO/NCRP/ HPA among others. In-spite of presence of standards & awareness regarding the effect of EMI on data quality and operations disruption, the industry is handicapped by lack of quality solution providers and aggregators.
- Low frequency EMI caused by power sources / cabling and wiring can erase a hard disk or corrupt server database.
- Unexplained data errors and productivity loss due to data errors.
- In data communication, excessive electromagnetic interference (EMI) hinders ability of remote receivers to successfully detect data packets.
- EMI leads to higher network traffic due to packet retransmissions and network congestions
- Degrades transmission quality
- Personnel exposed to high EMF radiation are faced with multiple electromagnetic sensitivity symptoms leading to loss of man-hours and productivity
- Logging on and off of terminal equipment
- Slow down of LAN traffic
High exposure to EMF radiation is known (even if not medically unproven) to effect humans in all ages. In the same space, more than 37.5 milliGauss magnetic fields are known to disrupt computing systems and even capable of creating Heathrow and Gatwick type service outages.

"Dear Dad: I joined the Mexican Revolution. Sorry about high school. (signed) Indy."
Funny, smart, daring and wry. That note from 16-year-old Indiana Jones to his father suggests the tone of one of the most ambitious and exciting projects to hit prime time in some time, "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles," which premieres at 8 tonight on WJZ (Channel 13).
Visually, there is nothing else on network TV that compares with it. Sunrise in Mexico, twilight in Egypt with the pyramids as backdrop, a huge battle scene between the forces of Pancho Villa and the Mexican army, all show how much of the big screen experience can be kept in the translation to TV when the right folks are doing the translating.

Eric's Day Flashback - The Printer.
The Printer.
I was quietly napping on the Peggy blankie with my arms on the worktop and my head resting against the printer.
Suddenly the printer started yakking up paper and woke me up! I'm ready for you this time Mr. Printer. Try it again and you will be whapped into next week.

Distinguished poets from across America will gather to give readings, riffs and remarks as Suffolk University launches a Poetry Project that will amplify the already-vibrant place that poetry holds in Suffolk's College of Arts & Sciences.
Day One of the Suffolk University Poetry Project brings together many of the award-winning and emerging writers who have visited the University's Poetry Center, visited classes and led writing workshop discussions at the invitation of poet and Professor Emeritus Fred Marchant, who is heading up the Suffolk University Poetry Project. The evening also serves as a tribute to Marchant.
Marchant is a major American poet and author of four books, with a fifth, The Day Later, in production. He won the Washington Prize, for his first collection, Tipping Point. He has long had a connection with Vietnam. Marchant was one of a handful of U.S. Marines granted conscientious objector status and was granted honorable discharge. The moral issues raised by the Vietnam War inform his own poetry, and he has brought Vietnamese poets to speak in America and has translated Vietnamese poetry into English.
The poets will gather from 7-9 p.m. Tuesday, May 13, 2014, at Suffolk's C. Walsh Theatre, 55 Temple Street, right behind the State House.
Among the evening's presenters will be David Ferry, a distinguished scholar in the College of Arts & Sciences who won the National Book Award in 2012, National Book Award winner and Distinguished Scholar in Residence James Carroll, and Maxine Hong Kingston, a major Chinese American novelist and poet and winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award and a National Humanities Medal winner. She will provide a video tribute to Marchant.
Hosts Marchant and Jen Bonardi will give opening remarks following a greeting from Theatre Department Chair Marilyn Plotkins. Additional readers and speakers include Suffolk faculty, former students and writers from the broader literary community, as follows:
Kristen Bulger
Christine Casson
Ken Greenberg, College of Arts & Sciences dean
Joan Houlhan
Robert K. Johnson
George Kalogeris
Earll Kingston (video with Maxine Hong Kingston)
Tony Merzlak
Quentin Miller
David Rivard
Paul Rowe
Chris Siteman
Kathleen Spivack
Kim Stafford (on video)
Dan Tobin
Afaa Michael Weaver
Margaret Weitz
Joyce Wilson
There will be a musical interlude by John Mulrooney and Jonathan LeMaster.
Tickets for the event will benefit the Suffolk University Poetry Project, including:
- An additional reading in the University's poetry series by an author of the highest standing
- A named traveling scholarship for a Suffolk undergraduate writer
- Short-term writing workshops devoted to specific themes and populations
- An ongoing focus on issues of war and peace-building
- Literary conferences, interdisciplinary symposia, special gatherings
- A translation festival
- Co-sponsored events with other literary organizations in the Boston area
- Establishing a "world-class" and digitized broadside collection
Tickets are available online.

Before CHRIST will ultimately come the second time and wrought victory over the world and it's wickedness, there is a kind of victory HE desires for His saints on earth . . .
Unlike we all have been made to believe, what CHRIST desires is beyond wroughting miracles that come in season or divination of what has happened or what is going to happen. Wat HE came for is far more than what Nathaniels if today are thinking with their natural minds.
No doubt, with JESUS in out lives, we would be able to connect the past, present and future together for a better living but beyond this, HIs desires for our lives cannot be held bound by times, seasons or chances.
Just like His response to Nathaniel, what HE earnestly desires is the seamless and unhindered interaction between heaven and earth. HE desires that the earth be filled with as many Gardens of Eden as possible so that the reality of Heaven will the same as the one on earth. HE came to establish that link between GOD and man. In truth, this is what GOD desires for everyone and that was the reason for His coming and sacrifice.
HE is the unbroken link between Heaven and earth. Heaven on earth is a settled reality but the question that remains is "How many saints have entered into this reality?'
Heaven on earth is the mystery that is supposed to be our normal day-to-day living. Heaven on earth is the Garden of Eden that GOD will build for any man who has acknowledged CHRIST as His head and is wiling to do the same for his eve and the children given to him . . .
Heaven on Earth is the real and actual miracle!

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of tanespimycin when given
with cytarabine in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia,
acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia,
or myelodysplastic syndromes. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as tanespimycin and
cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the
cells or by stopping them from dividing. Tanespimycin may also help cytarabine kill more
cancer cells by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drug. Giving tanespimycin together
with cytarabine may kill more cancer cells.
I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG)
(tanespimycin) when administered with cytarabine in patients with relapsed or refractory
acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, chronic
myelomonocytic leukemia, or high-grade myelodysplastic syndromes.
II. Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients. III. Determine,
preliminarily, the activity of this regimen in these patients. IV. Correlate the
pharmacokinetics of this regimen with cytochrome p450 3A5 genotype in these patients.
V. Determine the effect of this regimen on client proteins in vivo and ex vivo using
leukemic blasts from patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study of tanespimycin.
Patients receive induction therapy comprising cytarabine intravenously (IV) continuously on
days 1-5 and tanespimycin IV over 1 hour on days 3 and 6.
Patients achieving a morphologic complete response with incomplete blood count recovery
(CRi) or partial response may be eligible to receive a second induction course of therapy
after day 21 at the discretion of the principal investigator. Patients achieving a complete
response (CR) receive up to 4 courses of consolidation therapy with cytarabine and
tanespimycin. Consolidation therapy repeats approximately every 60 days in the absence of
disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who achieve CR and remain in
remission for ≥ 6 months may be retreated with cytarabine and tanespimycin (at the current
dose level or the maximum tolerated dose [MTD]) at the time of relapse. Cohorts of 3-6
patients receive escalating doses of tanespimycin until the MTD is determined. The MTD is
defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience
dose-limiting toxicity. Patients are followed at 3 months.
Inclusion Criteria:

Colin Kaepernick strolled through the 49ers' locker room with about a dozen or so reporters, then made his way into a small nook where several offensive linemen sat in front of their stalls.
After some lighthearted protests and ribbing from his teammates left the 25-year-old quarterback chuckling quietly, Kaepernick turned stone-faced serious when questioned about San Francisco's passing game.
A season-opening win against Green Bay in which he threw for more than 400 yards and three touchdowns was supposed to have raised the bar for Kaepernick.
Instead it's turned out to be the high-water mark, and the 36th overall pick in 2011 has had a difficult time getting back to that point.
The 49ers entered the week 31st in total passing while Kaepernick had the fifth-lowest completion percentage among all starting quarterbacks.

We all begin life's journey together in a family, church and school with friends and relatives. As we go through life, it is easy to float and ride the tide. Some people ride the tide throughout life and end up where everyone else is going. However, some people don't do what everybody else does. They don't settle for average or do things because everyone is doing it. These people make a choice to do things differently in life. They make bold decisions and apply themselves at every opportunity with determination and skill. It is easy to tell these people apart from the rest because they do not behave like a school of fish caught in a tide. They actually swim against the tide.
If you have been to Mombasa, you will know that the tide goes out in the morning and comes in in the evening. Sometimes in the month, it is the other way round. The tide is fun to watch but it is really going nowhere. As soon as it gets to a point, it turns around and comes back to the same place it was before. There are people we know like that who are really going nowhere and really have nowhere to go so they drift off to school and then drift back home again. They go to school in the morning and go home again in the evening. Having accomplished little more than nothing. They move from shore to shore – the same shore. The tide will never take you anywhere.
It is a sad thing, but many of us don't do enough with what we have. There are millions of children who have no opportunity to go to school. Those of us who do go to school waste it chewing gum, playing Kati and just riding the tide. If you live your life like a fish in the ocean tide, it may be fun but it will also be fatal. We know what happens to fish that are swept by the tide. So why go against the tide? We need to go against the tide because we know where those who ride the tide end up and never achieve anything in life. They and get caught in things that are going nowhere in life like drugs alcohol & sex. Life is as broad as the ocean and we should all strive to see what is on the other side of the ocean.
But there are tides in streams too. The way I see it you have three choices in a stream.
1. Join the main stream which means you will end up downstream or
2. stay in mid-stream which means you won't move very far in life or
3. Go upstream and give birth to new life.
The salmon is a fish that swims upstream. In school, the tide to do nothing is strong. To be able to develop the courage to go against the tide is one of the most difficult things you will do in life, but if you manage to develop the will, skill and courage to go against the tide, you will not only be successful in school, you will also be successful in life.
I train employees of big and small companies to develop themselves and create wealth. One of the most astounding things I find happening again and again is that employees just swim with the tide. Many have not developed the will to save or become entrepreneurs. They just go to work, go home, and complain that the money was too little. If you don't swim against the tide in school, you are likely to be carried by the tide throughout life. I can tell you from fifty years on earth, that that is not an exciting journey.
The defining mark of these people in life is that they have goals. They are going somewhere. If you don't have goals, it is easy to float down stream with the rest of the crowd. The rest of the crowd floats down to the bar, the disco and the latest phone. It is easy to join this crowd. All you have to do is have no goals. However, it is also important for you to know that only dead fish float downstream. Most fish are happy with mid-stream but only a few dare to make the journey upstream.
So there are three kinds of fish those that float down stream, those that stay mid-stream, those that hide in the Mud in midstream and those that swim upstream to give birth to new life. In life you have a choice; you can either be a dead fish – in which case you won't have anything to worry about the tide will take care of you and you will be dead anyway. Or you can be a mudfish, do nothing special and yes, hide in the mud. BUT WHY SHOULD YOU SWIM UPSTREAM? You can choose to be a salmon, swim upstream and give birth to new ideas, invent new technology, give hope and new birth to millions of people around the world. To swim upstream you must have a goal. A serious goal which you CAN pursue ALL your LIFE. Like a career or a calling.
So what is the key to getting up stream?
1. Goals are what you do for yourself
2. A career is what you do for others
3. A calling is what you will do for God
Some people think that you don't have to make this decision today and that since you are young you can postpone the decision until you grow up. By the time Jesus was 12 he was sure of who he was and where he wanted to go. He attended university (the temple) while his age mates, and family attended celebrations and went home. Jesus swam against the tide. His friends and relatives came to Jerusalem for a party, he came to study. He swam against the tide. If you want to make a difference, you must swim against the tide.
When I was 12, I read a book by Legson Kayira, I WILL TRY. Kayira was born in Mpale, a village in Nyasaland (now Malawi); the precise date was not recorded (1942). Soon after his birth, his mother threw him into the Didimu River as she could not afford to feed him. He was rescued and acquired the name "Didimu". He himself added the English-sounding name "Legson" when he was in school. At the age of sixteen, he decided that the only away to achieve a college degree was to go to the US, and he set out on foot to do so. When he reached Kampala in Uganda he saw the name of Skagit Valley College, Washington State, in a US Information service directory, so he applied and was awarded a place and a scholarship. Kayira then embarked on a journey of over 3000 kilometers and walked to Khartoum, where he obtained a visa, and people from Skagit Valley raised the money to bring him over to Washington. He arrived at Skagit Valley two years after setting out. He went on to become a graduate student at Cambridge University, and subsequently a probation officer and the author of several novels. He swam against the tide. When I was 16, I read another book by Norman Vincent Peal – The Power of positive thinking. After I read those books, I began to swim against the tide. I was determined to make a success of my life. I began to swim against the tide.
All of us are in the ocean. All of us are in a school; our challenge in life is not how much we have, but how much we will give to humanity! This is a choice we must make early in life not because we are rich and not because we are poor, but because each of us has a choice of goals, a career and calling in life. You may be poor and perhaps your education is sponsored, but don't worry, when you get an A- grade nobody will care whether you are rich or poor. It will still be an A-Grade!
Why am I telling you all this? It is because I want you to understand the tide that that is working against you and I want you to overcome and win. There is a great tide in education, which if you will succeed will require much, much more than the bare minimum. It will require courage; it will require great will skill and determination for you to reach the end of the journey in the education stream. Nevertheless, when you do it may just be the greatest moment of your life and the fulfillment of your dreams. Let's look at some statistics that will help you understand what I am talking about
1. Primary 7.5 million children in 2006,
2. Secondary 2.49 Million in 2010
3. University 182,000 in 2011
Less than three people out of every two hundred who join primary school in Kenya ever make it to university. Only 3 out of every 200 ever make it to get a college degree. The truth is the tide is very, very strong. It is vicious and merciless. It sweeps aside those who do not have Goals, a Career or a Calling or the courage to go against the tide. Education is a mighty river that throws many more people out of its path, while millions find themselves downstream. Education only rewards those who make it upstream. There is no way you can make the journey unless you make a commitment to go against the tide!
God Bless you

The Alibris.co.uk domain seems to have been acquired by a British domain hoarder on or around February 10. Alibris has owned the domain since 1999, and I believe it's been in use in business for most of that time.
So what happened? According to the current domain registration info, the domain is owned by one "D Ostashko," a "UK Individual," via a British domain registrar named "Mr Denys Ostashko" (likely the same person). I presume the domain registration lapsed by mistake, and was snatched up by Ostashko, who clearly hasn't done the honorable thing of returning the domain to the original owners. I've known the folks at Interloc and Alibris for almost ten years now, and I've seen how hard they've worked to develop their name and reputation. It's a shame that they should have to deal with this.
Of course if our friend Denys isn't being courteous, there's always the legal option. Ostashko is a registered member of Nominet, the organization that manages .uk domains. (Amusingly, his registration indicates that he's involved in "Internet marketing and innovation.") Nominet's policies on .uk domain disputes indicate that they often deal with cases like "Using the name of a well-known company or trademark in a domain name". If Alibris uses the domain dispute process, they may have a decent chance of getting their name back.
The lesson here? Don't let those domains names lapse. The Denis Ostashkos of the world are always happy to take them off your hands.Posted by Anirvan

Iolo System Mechanic Pro 15 Review
Why We Use Iolo?Iolo has been part of our computers since version 5 and is one of the elite software that not only say what it does, but it does what it says it does. It indeed does speed up your computer by fixing your computer settings and system files, and protecting your computer from viruses and spyware. At A Best PCs we are proud partners with Iolo and want to thank them for offering such great products over the years. We have done several bench mark tests and battery life test to see if there are indeed improvements, We hate to say there are improvements in both battery life and performance. We had this Toshiba Laptop that had about 2 hours of battery life with Windows 10 Pro 64 and after we set up the Iolo System Mechanic Live Boost it not only made our battery life go from 2 hours to about 3 to even 4 hours without compromising performance. It actually made our system faster even with the Live Boost set at Endurance Mode. I did not show much of the Live Boost feature so I included a seconded video for Live Boost and other short cuts with Iolo System Mechanic Pro 15 from the icons in the System Tray.
You can buy Iolo System Mechanic Pro from www.abestpcs.com/iolo.php

Drive cycle simulation of high efficiency combustions on fuel economy and exhaust properties in light-duty vehicles
We present fuel economy and engine-out emissions for light-duty (LD) conventional and hybrid vehicles powered by conventional and high-efficiency combustion engines. Engine technologies include port fuel-injected (PFI), direct gasoline injection (GDI), reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) and conventional diesel combustion (CDC). In the case of RCCI, the engine utilized CDC combustion at speed/load points not feasible with RCCI. The results, without emissions considered, show that the best fuel economies can be achieved with CDC/RCCI, with CDC/RCCI, CDC-only, and lean GDI all surpassing PFI fuel economy significantly. In all cases, hybridization significantly improved fuel economy. The engine-out hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter (PM) emissions varied remarkably with combustion mode. The simulated engine-out CO and HC emissions from RCCI are significantly higher than CDC, but RCCI makes less NOx and PM emissions. Hybridization can improve lean GDI and RCCI cases by increasing time percentage for these more fuel efficient modes. Moreover, hybridization can dramatically decreases the lean GDI and RCCI engine out emissions. Importantly, lean GDI and RCCI combustion modes decrease exhaust temperatures, especially for RCCI, which limits aftertreatment performance to control tailpipe emissions. Overall, the combination of engine and hybrid drivetrain selected greatly affects themore »

Made up of individual elements arranged into a variety of designs, herringbone patterns have a strong design impact and works well in all interior styles.

As an involved volunteer and citizen of Medicine Hat, and a proud Albertan, I take a lot of pride in my community. I take pride in the people who work tirelessly to come to community events and appreciate the hard work of our elected officials who speak at, and support the endeavours within our community.
I have been noticing, as of late, that Cypress-Medicine Hat MLA Drew Barnes has not been pictured or mentioned in community announcements such as the recent announcement made by the minister of the environment.
As a voter and concerned Albertan — this upsets me. I took it upon myself to contact Barnes' office to learn more and was sad to find out that the reason for his absence is simply he had not been invited.
If this is truly the case, I am appalled community events would fail to invite a dignitary who has been democratically elected by the people of Cypress-Medicine Hat.
Regardless of the fact that MLA Barnes sits on the opposition bench, he is our representative in Edmonton; he is to be representing our thoughts, convictions and ideas to the government as he holds the NDP government to account.
How is he supposed to be able to represent us if he is not being invited to appear or speak at these events?
Judging by his extensive attendance at other events put on by charities in the community, it is evident his lack of appearance at the Medicine Hat College or presentations by ministers is not because he is not willing, it is because these events are gate-kept by bureaucrats at the top.
I would like to invite other citizens to recognize the inherent bias within our institutions. We as citizens have a right to represented, regardless of what side of the Legislative Assembly our MLA resides.
Mandi Campbell, Medicine Hat

A year ago, Jordan Spieth had the makings of golf's next star, yet the vulnerabilities of a 20-year-old finding his way on the PGA Tour.
Spieth since has evolved into a Tiger Woods-like closer and leaderboard fixture.
Winning last month's Masters by four strokes, Spieth joined Woods as the only player since World War II to win three times, with at least one major, prior to turning 22.

I stumbled onto a mix that adds whole new dimension to any fermented milk product I've tried. Be it kefir, yogurt, kefir cheese or separated buttermilk fat, it works for any of them. It's so simple, I am almost embarrassed to call it a recipe. Then again, it's healthy, tasty and opens door to infinite number of variations. Try it and see if you like it as much as I do.
Coffee Kombucha
A few weeks ago I was encouraged to try and make coffee kombucha. While the recipes do float on the internet, I never ventured away from the tea-based garden variety. This time, however, my curiosity has been piqued.
Fermented Carrots
This has to be the easiest ferment I've ever done. I stumbled onto it while looking for something to replace the sauerkraut in those couple months when the previous crop of cabbage best suitable for fermenting is out and a new one is not in yet. Not that you couldn't make it, but the kick is weaker than I like, and I am always curious about something new. Sure, brined cucumbers are always here, and it's my long-standing favorite, but curiosity… what can I say, cats are my favorite animals for a reason. But back to carrots.
Low Carb Wheat-Free Pancakes Two Ways
There are countless recipes for the low carb/keto pancakes floating all over the Internet, some of them great, some not so much. Here are two that I like; one is on a softer side and another with a bit grittier texture. Both are very easy to make and lend themselves to any kind of topping, from sour cream to berries.
Pork Smoked to Perfection
Carnivores, of which I am one, tend to appreciate smoked goods. One of my favorites is what I call PSP – Pork Smoked to Perfection. In fact, I like it so much that I make it in two different forms; we will go over both in this post.
Injera – Ethiopian Flat Bread from Fermented Teff Flour
Let's make Injera – Ethiopian flat bread from fermented teff flour. Why, you ask? Well, why not? It's a unique kind of bread tasting unlike anything I've ever tried; it's fermented (and my ears perk when I hear this word); it's exotic, and it's easy to make. It's not a bread to spread your butter on (although have no doubt that I tried that, and it worked to a degree); it's rather a wrap or a "utensil" with which you can scoop up a stir fry, a stew, or a salad. I would characterize its taste as a curious mix of bland and sour; thanks to blandness it soaks in the taste of the food you use it with, and sourness adds an intriguing twist. If you are not convinced still, a few words about its nutritional facts. Or, if it's just the recipe you are interested in, scroll right through.
Peanut Butter Bread Variation
By now it's probably clear to you that I view bread as a butter delivery device. That was the role assigned to it in the flax bread and Paleo crackers posts. The thing about butter though is, you can never have enough delivery vehicles for it. Being always on a lookout for those, I couldn't let the recipe posted by Sandy of Sandy's Simple Recipes and More go unnoticed. Or untested for that matter. And an intriguing recipe it is. Peanut butter bread?
Rutabaga – Another Potato Substitute
The eternal quest for the healthier alternatives continues. This time, in an attempt to imitate potato fries, I tested rutabaga.
Healthy Wheat-Free Crispy Crackers
You can find many variations of these crackers on the internet, as folks adapt it to their tastes. As far as low-carb eating goes, this is a pure beauty. They are:
- sugar-, wheat-, grain-, and gluten-free;
- rich in fiber, fat, and protein;
- lend itself perfectly to spread your butter on;
- fit in Paleo, Keto, and LCHF;
- crispy and chewy at the same time;
- very simple to make, as they require no specific appliances.
Bone Broth – Universal Healthy Comfort Food in a Slow Cooker
If you follow modern foodie trends, you are likely to be aware of what some consider "new fad" – bone broth. In my view, they couldn't be farther from the truth. New? Fad? Come on, this is one of the most traditional dishes that grandmas all over the world made for kids that happened to catch the flu or cold. Warm, rich, ultimate comfort food, irreplaceable for the days when it's cold and snowy outside – and, as many authoritative in the nutrition field sites claim, offering enormous health benefits.

Homemade Chocolates
Homemade chocolates are a surprisingly easy way to make unique and personal treats for friends and family. This Valentine's Day your child can impress her loved ones with adorable homemade chocolates.

Top them with fruit, nuts, or sprinkles and voila—you'll have a delicious, personalized treat that says "I love you" all over it! Make a batch of homemade chocolates with your child this Valentine's Day.

- Pour a small amount of melted chocolate into each section of the ice cube tray, making sure not to overfill them. Each section should be about three-quarters full.
- Carefully add a small amount of topping to each chocolate.
- Place the tray in the refrigerator and let the chocolates chill until hard.
- Remove the chocolates from the tray as you would remove ice cubes, pressing gently on the bottom of each one.
- Present the chocolates in a small box or on a plate covered with plastic wrap.
