On the TriCoast corporate jet to Dallas, Lynn opened her e-reader again to The Vanishing of Katharina Linden. She nodded between words. Finally she tilted her seat back and slept.
When she arrived in Dallas, she drove toward her father's house. Despite the nap, she was jet-lagged after the days in Washington and Florence. As she drove, she remembered her father's longtime pulmonologist saying there was nothing more he could do.
She had taken her father to other pulmonologists, some who would not give up so easily, but hadn't found one who would accept him as a patient. The fourth one had said, "Once you've been advised to get a hospice doctor for him, you can't expect to sign him up as a new patient with me. The best thing you can do for him is get him under the care of a hospice doctor."
"But that means I've given up, that he won't improve," she said.
"I wish I could offer you a different answer."
Lynn had reluctantly contracted with a hospice service, and they had started a few days ago. But she continued to pay nurses to stay with her father around the clock. Hermosa had taken care of him for several years and Lynn was glad to pay her wages also. I wish I could be with him all the time myself, she thought.
Her father had said that he preferred Lynn work and tell him about it, rather than hover at his house.
His afternoon nurse updated her, saying the doctor had increased her father's morphine, and that his antidepressant seemed to help him relax and breathe more easily. With a jolt, Lynn realized drug addiction was no longer a concern. He'd never go off his drugs as long as he was alive.
The nurse confirmed he was using oxygen tanks more quickly. He'd shrunk since the last time she'd seen him, the opposite of seven-year-old Marika, who seemed to grow another inch every month. His cuticles were still blue, a symptom of insufficient oxygen, despite all that was delivered through a tube in his nose.
At her first visit, the hospice doctor said he had eight to ten weeks left. "So say everything to him that you need to," she suggested.
"His doctors told me he could live up to eight months."
"I'm sorry. No."
So this night, after her several days away, she held his hand and talked to him until he fell asleep. His breath whispered through the plastic tubing.
The next morning, Lynn let herself into Cy's house to find Matt power coloring, his two hands gripping nine crayons. He dropped them and ran to her to show off his Batman cape. After she admired it, he insisted, "Want brektiss," wrapping chubby arms around one of Lynn's legs.
She lifted him up and kissed him. "Let's see what we can find."
"I had to get up at seven-like-thirty. My legs are burning. I need to run," Marika said. She kicked over a pyramid of Matt's plastic blocks, then looked at her brother to see if he'd noticed. He had, and screamed.
"Sounds like this soccer game is just in time." Lynn bounced the two-year-old on her hip, wiping tears from his extra-long, baby-fine eyelashes.
"And it seems like everything in this house is either a bat or a ball," Cy said, kissing her. "We missed you. It's great to see you. How's your dad?"
Lynn shook her head and freed one hand to wipe away her own tears.
Cy nodded. "I understand."
She strapped the boy into a booster chair while Cy toasted bread and poured fruit juice for both children.
"Dad, can you put this juice in a parent glass, not a baby glass like Matt's?" Marika asked.
"Not a baby!" Matt said, and started to cry.
Cy shook his head wearily at Marika.
An hour later, standing on the sidelines of the girl's soccer game, Lynn raised her hands to the fall wind. Though only a few degrees cooler than the last five months of summer heat, the sweet breeze was a harbinger of more civilized temperatures. Even Matt seemed to feel better, looking less flushed than he had the past few weeks.
At a neighboring field, two high-school girls' teams resumed their lacrosse game. It reminded Lynn of the stickball game she'd seen in Tahlequah. Same ball, same netted rackets. Though in some nations girls were not allowed to play lacrosse. If they even touched a player's stick, a purification ritual was required.
Men's fetishes, she thought. Same the world over.
Lynn recognized about a half-dozen of the soccer players' parents from industry groups in which she participated. But all adult conversation was drowned by a roar from Marika's team and their supporters when Marika scored a goal.
The teams changed sides for half time. Cy rolled a ball back and forth to Matt. He motioned Lynn aside and hugged her. "You're working too hard. Maybe you should downscale, especially after what happened in Florence. And Jesus, northern Oklahoma. Were you with Keith when he was poisoned?"
"No. He called me from his room because he was so sick." She paused, seeing the dubious look on his face. "Cy, I didn't even know his room number. The first thing I did was to call 911. I was the third or fourth person in the room." She realized Cy didn't know any of the others, that he might not believe her.
"We've always been honest with one another," he said, slowly. "Is there anything you need to tell me?" The noise of the crowd covered his words so that only she could hear them.
"Our divorce was so bad that after five years of holding a grudge I'd try to poison him? No," she said.
"It's interesting you were the one he called," Cy said.
"Old habits die hard. When we were married I was always the one who was called, no matter which bar he'd passed out in," Lynn said.
"So he's drinking again?"
"Like I said, it was no accident. Someone poisoned him. I've been racking my brains trying to figure out whom, without accusing the wrong person. So has Mark Shepherd. Keith is still at home, recovering. He almost didn't make it."
As they watched Marika's team, Cy said, "Well, maybe now isn't the time to tell you I've been hearing from the wedding planner nonstop."
Lynn looked at him and shook her head. The list the Whippet had sent to Lynn's phone rattled through her mind. She was supposed to be checking off each one. Color scheme, guest list with addresses, gift registry, florist, photographer, music, parking valets, reception food, mementoes for the guests, bridesmaids' dresses, childhood video montages, dance lessons for the bridesmaids and groomsmen, DJ or band, corsages, honeymoon trip, bar bill, punch server, greenery rental. Even though she had tried to simplify, it was hard to do so at an event in which one was both host and honoree.
She sighed. "I can't do this. We can't do this."
"Get married?"
She smiled so she wouldn't cry. "Stage a wedding according to the Whippet when I'm about to lose my father."
He nodded.
"Can I call her off? Can we say vows in a back yard with a few friends and not the huge, entire family? Serve lemonade and cookies? Something that doesn't require the planning of world war three? I know you and your family want something big, but I just can't manage it."
Cy frowned, but then pulled her close in a hug. "My huge, entire family would be just fine with lemonade and cookies. Do you want me to call her?"
"I will." Lynn pulled out her cell phone and hit a speed dial number.
"This is Lynn. I'm sorry to spring this on you, but we've decided to radically simplify our ceremony."
"But honey, we've been doing that."
Lynn detected a slight wail in the Whippet's voice. She sighed. "We'll pay what we owe so far, but that's it. My father doesn't have long to live. And I can't devote time away from work to make wedding arrangements. Any spare time I have, I need to spend with my father, or Cy."
The Whippet was, finally, kinder than Lynn expected. "Honey, I saw this coming. Even though it hurts me, you're doing the right thing."
Lynn gave Cy a thumbs-up as the last whistle of the game sounded.
Marika was dispatched to a friend's house for a post-game play date. Lynn and Cy returned to his house with Matt. She lifted the two-year-old into a small bed two inches off the floor. He'd begun climbing out of his crib a few months ago so Cy had moved him to a low bed. "Naptime, sweet boy."
One little foot stuck out from the covers. "Don't kiss me."
"Kissing you is my favorite part." She covered the exposed foot.
"Okay, you can kiss me."
When Matt's eyes finally shut, she and Cy checked the monitor and closed the door.
"How do you figure this out? How do you parent two kids and keep a full-time pace at your law firm?" she whispered, concerned she might wake the boy.
"Never as well as I'd like," he whispered back. "I swear I wasn't ADHD until we had kids. There's so much my wife did. Before she died I wanted to split myself three ways, between her, them, and work. Now, it's between them, work, and you."
"I guess we have as much chance of doing that as Marika finding the potion to turn herself into a horse at will."
He smiled and nodded. "You can kiss me, too."
"Happily. How long will his nap be?" She wrapped her arms around his back.
"Long enough," he murmured.
It was.
I knew I would kill her someday. I didn't expect it to give me full satisfaction, but still, it was a pleasure I had reserved for myself. I'd pick a time when her seed cap farmer "friends" weren't around.
Like jewelry on layaway, her killing was something I promised myself in the future.
I didn't expect she would understand why I was killing her. Glib and stupid, she'd never understood anything else. Sometimes I hated her with every fiber of my identity; sometimes she was just another twitchy bitch and the hate took too much energy.
Jesse Drum was in Dallas. He had offered to meet Lynn. Lynn welcomed the chance to talk to him further, although she wondered if he was the one who'd poisoned Keith. So for their lunch she chose a public, sun-lit place, the cafe inside the Nasher Sculpture Garden.
As she walked from her office to the sculpture garden, she called her sister, Ceil, in Paris. "Dad's hospice doctor says he has eight to ten weeks. I'm telling you so you can get ready."
The phone was silent, then Ceil sniffled. "Jesus, despite what I told you, I really did hope he would have longer. Stupid to say, because we saw how Mom struggled."
Lynn's eyes were wet. "I don't want to believe it either."
"Well, tell me when you need me there. If I don't hear from you, I'll plan on returning in a month or six weeks. How are you doing otherwise? How's wedding planning with the Whippet?"
"The Whippet's gone. I told her with Dad's condition, I'd be doing well to manage beer and pretzels in his back yard."
"You fired her?"
"It was mutual." As Lynn turned off her phone, she realized with relief she had received no new exclamation-filled texts in the last few hours about color-matching the napkins to the floral arrangements.
She greeted Jesse at the Nasher's barrel-vault entrance. TriCoast's name was somewhere high up on the wall of donors, so they were waved through. Jesse strolled past the Miros faster than she expected, saying, "Not my taste. We sponsor our nation's artists in a show later this fall. You should come and see it."
He explained he met regularly with Dallas banks, venture capitalists, and investment firms. "Plus, I stopped by our competition." By this, he meant the Chickasaw Nation's WinStar casino seventy-five miles north of Dallas, a mile across the border in Oklahoma. A prime location, it had doubled in size and employed several thousand people, many bussed from Dallas' northern suburbs. Other dedicated busses carried customers to and from the casino from suburbs like Richardson and Plano. The casino's billboards were all around town; it was so big it had its own exit from I-35.
Jesse ordered a rare roast beef sandwich and red potato salad while she picked a farmers' market salad and a grilled cheese sandwich. The grilled cheese resembled the toast-and-cheese-food-slices she'd eaten while growing up in name only. Provolone, cheddar, and mozzarella crowded slices of sourdough bread.
When they sat outside, he looked around with more interest than he'd shown for the pieces inside.
"So, tell me why CIG wants to buy this refinery," Lynn said.
His voice was soothing, with the right level of new-age toughness. "Simple. Backward integration. Our casino business is expanding at," he smiled briefly, "more than a double-digit rate each year. All those people drive cars, most of which still use gasoline." He explained CIG already owned a string of nearly a hundred service stations. "We have several sources for gasoline, but your refinery is the best." He smiled again. "So owning it is a good fit for us."
He described how the concept of individual ownership was still hard for some of the nation's elders to understand. "They don't really believe anyone owns anything, which is hell on property disputes. They don't think we actually own land. They think dirt is dirt and we're to use what we need. That's why all the tribes ceded so much land to whites. First the whites shoved us off the land we were using, then they assigned us other land in the treaties. After a while they needed more land, so they offered us a lose-lose deal. They would either come and take the land or we could cede most of it for a small payment, reserving some for ourselves. Hence, reservations."
"It's a painful history," Lynn said.
"Well, now that we have money," Jesse said. "when we spend it, we have to be careful. And I have the whole Cherokee Nation to worry about. Everything from the rising number of diabetes cases to K12 education to translating our newspaper stories into the Cherokee language."
They finished eating and walked around the garden. Lynn pointed to Quantum Cloud XX. "If you stand back, you can see the man inside all the stainless steel bars."
"Like a fog of knives. I know the feeling," Jesse said. "Budget week at the council."
She nodded toward two pieces. "They remind me I need to get back to work."
He frowned.
"The Richard Serra fifty-ton plates? Oil tankers. The Hammering Man—"
"—yes, I see. Sucker-rod pumps. Like the horsehead pumps all over Oklahoma. This guy's even the same size." The giant sculpture loomed about twenty feet high.
Her cell phone rang and the display showed Mark Shepherd's number. "Can you get to the office immediately?" he asked.
"Are you with someone?"
He hesitated. "Jesse Drum?"
"I'll explain when you get here."
Her head buzzing with unanswered questions, she fought impatience. She wanted a calm, upbeat end to the meeting with Jesse, the man who represented the most promising buyer for TriCoast's Tulsa refinery.
As they parted, he said, "Effective soft sell. But I get it often."
Mark Shepherd was waiting for her when she entered her office in the headquarters building. "I want Cheryl with you all the time."
"We were outside in the Nasher Sculpture Garden in the middle of the day. He's my father's age, not a young man. Cheryl is only supposed to be with me in situations we consider risky." She wouldn't add that Jesse was a relative, too, and so that she was even less inclined to suspect him.
"You can't make that judgment. One mistake and you could be a goner."
"What are you trying to tell me?"
"You should already have heard it from Gene."
"Remember the missing men at his refinery?"
She nodded.
"One of them has been found."
Lynn knew the worst was true. "He's dead?"
"Yes. They started to recommission one of the storage tanks they'd mothballed. Remember the contractor, Roberto Molina? His body was at the bottom in two pieces. One of his legs had been severed at the hip. He'd bled to death."
"How horrible! I'm so sorry."
"From the angle of the cut, it looks like someone used a high pressure water hose on him."
Lynn had heard of similar deaths, but always as accidents. Water sprayed at several hundred pounds of pressure was deadlier than a machete.
"Has Gene talked to Roberto's family?"
"He and Roberto's boss at the contracting company are on the way now," Mark said, and left.
Lynn called Gene. "I'm so sorry about this. And I'm sorry you have to tell his family."
"Yeah. It's bad. The guys who found him, well, after they finish talking to Tulsa PD they'll have to take a few days' leave, at least."
"Whatever they need, they get. Whatever his family needs, same thing. Any cameras, any evidence? What does Tulsa PD say?"
"Mark's coming up to talk to Tulsa PD with me. I think some outsider is using the missing contractor badge to get in. Fuck. We have so many contractors, to say nothing of all the bozos you've brought through to buy it." Gene's swearing and his angry tone was new.
She softened her voice as much as possible. "Bozos, Gene? Look, we have our orders to sell this refinery. Why don't you take a few days off? You've been through a lot yourself."
"It's a signal we shouldn't be selling," he said.
I wish I could convince these guys, Lynn thought, as she was waved into the boardroom to give an update on the sale.
There was no avoiding it. After she described her meetings with potential buyers, she said, "I've just been notified a missing contractor was found onsite, dead. It appears his death wasn't accidental."
Several people in the room frowned. Burl Travis, whom she had not seen since the disastrous trip to Paris with Riley, said, "You got your ex-husband poisoned, too, I hear."
You asshole, she thought, as she felt her face flush with the anger she couldn't hide. Aloud, she said, "Our divorce wasn't that acrimonious." After the laughter stopped, Lynn continued. "And I sure wouldn't go after someone who said he's ready to help buy the Tulsa refinery for $1.3 billion. At any rate, the investigation is in the hands of the police. They'll let us know their results." Dammit, Riley's been telling Burl everything. Maybe to deflect attention away from himself. Is Riley the one?
"What other good news do you have for us?" Burl asked, in an acid voice.
You weren't the one to find Dag Nordval's body, you jerkwad. Oh. He would have also heard about... "And you got the news about the prince's second bodyguard?"
"Damn shame. You and Mike were the last ones to see the prince and his entourage," Burl said. "I arranged that meeting for you, you know. You screwed it up."
"No, whoever killed him was the last person to see him, and the one who screwed it up." Lynn's leg started to cramp, so she flexed her foot to stretch it out. The cramp would get worse until she left the meeting.
"Lynn, maybe it's time you step down and let Riley, Henry Vandervoost, or someone else take the reins until this all blows over," Burl said.
Lynn thought her head would explode. She pushed her hands into the table so she wouldn't knock Burl out of his seat. She kept her voice even, dropping it down to a low whisper. "I don't like your proposal or what you are implying about my presumed culpability. I seriously question whether you have the best interests of TriCoast in mind."
His expression, like a turtle's, didn't change. "If you are unable to sell this refinery, we should get someone who can. Someone who can travel to the Middle East and meet with people there without worrying about politically-correct diplomacy."
Someone with a penis, she thought.
"Lynn's doing a superb job. TriCoast has over three billion in refining assets, Burl," Mike said. "Too many refineries spread across too many continents for one person. Henry and Lynn need to continue splitting the responsibility. We need our US refining chief in the US, and it will remain Lynn."
TriCoast's CFO, Sara Levin, said, "Burl, you and this board are the bosses. But my responsibility to TriCoast shareholders leads me to suggest you are not doing your fiduciary duty when you suggest replacing Lynn with a pair of balls."
I love this woman, Lynn almost said aloud.
Mike Emerson coughed. "And with that, it's time to move on to the next agenda item. Thank you for your time, Lynn."
After an eight-mile run to relieve her frustration, Lynn packed a suitcase, drove to Love Field Airport, and within two and a half hours she was in San Antonio introducing herself at a pre-conference cocktail meet 'n greet to executives from several small companies. All were producing gas, light liquids, and oil from the nearby Eagle Ford field. She hoped in the room full of black suits her green one stood out; she had chosen her colors to attract attention.
Lynn needed to speak with as many people as possible. She kept her tone light. However, the Saudis had indeed stopped doing additional business with her after the death of the prince's second bodyguard, and many seemed to know it, driving harder bargains.
Despite the clink of glasses inside and the well-lit, placid Riverwalk outside, she shuddered when she remembered finding Dag Nordval's body. Tom. Roberto. Jimmy. Almost Keith. She had been invited to speak to the attendees about changes TriCoast made in its refinery configurations to meet the newest gasoline and diesel specs. She would also listen to the panel on security and terrorism.
Voices around her spoke in the peculiar, familiar oilfield patois. "Bolt a set of leases onto the side of it...time is the enemy...stacked pay, nothing's better no way no how...our Aggies are smarter than their Aggies...gut check...key takeaway...land rig utilization."
The voices were as intense as those on a trading floor. Lynn noticed most around her were young men, testosteronized, all sharp elbows and emphatic curses. None heard or all ignored double entendres in phrases like, "payback," or "we had to clean out a deviated hole," or "rate of penetration."
One of the youngest men, about Greg Sutton's age, sidled up to her and said, "Feels like I'm pinging a dark pool around here."
"What do you mean?"
"Feeling people out. No one discusses the identity of his trading partners until the deal is signed. Right now everyone's making small offers to see what's thumping."
"Like bats."
"More like sharks. We're all looking for big prey from small blotches of blood."

CHICAGO (February 13, 1997) - Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV) today reported net income of $15 million, or $0.10 per common share for the first quarter ended January 31, 1997, compared to net income of $22 million or $0.20 per common share in the year-ago period.
Consolidated sales and revenues from the company's manufacturing and financial services operations in the quarter totaled $1.3 billion, compared to $1.4 billion in the first quarter of 1996.
Navistar's worldwide shipments of 20,400 medium (Class 5-7 G.V.W.) and heavy trucks (Class 8 G.V.W.) and school buses during the first quarter were 15.9 percent lower than a year ago.
"Demand for trucks is fairly strong by historical standards. In fact, our order receipts in the first quarter are up across the board in school buses and medium and heavy trucks compared with 1996," said John R. Horne, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "On the engine side, we continue to see strong demand due to our ability to deliver efficiencies and improvements in first-time quality."
Shipments of mid-range diesel engines to other original equipment manufacturers during the quarter totaled 41,000 units, an 8.4 percent increase over last year. Sales of parts were $186 million, compared to $177 million in the same period a year ago, an increase of 5.1 percent.
"We have made significant progress in implementing our truck strategy over the most recent quarters. Now we're also seeing encouraging signs of our focus on improving operating performance. On a quarter-to-quarter comparison, our gross margin is up, improving to 13.6 percent in 1997 from 12.2 percent," added Horne. "Our challenge for this year is to continue to aggressively drive our strategies and operating improvements."
Recent Developments
Due to increased demand for trucks, the company plans to boost production at its Springfield, Ohio truck assembly plant in the upcoming quarter. Production on the plant's medium truck and school bus line will increase from 224 to 266 units per day, with heavy truck production growing from 47 to 65 trucks per day. In line with those plans, Navistar intends to call back 500 employees in February.
"As order receipts began to increase, we were able to meet with the UAW and explain the need to increase production. Those conversations led us to an agreement that gave us the flexibility to call back workers as we revised our production schedules upward," Horne said.
During the first quarter, the company continued to make progress against its five-point truck strategy: focusing truck assembly plants, simplifying current product lines, investing in new product development, expanding its presence internationally and achieving competitive wages, benefits and productivity.
In line with the initiative to focus its plants, Navistar will begin production of its Paystarr severe service trucks during February at SST Truck Company, the Garland, Texas-based facility of the company's joint venture with TIC United Corp. Paystar production is being moved out of Navistar's Chatham, Ontario plant, and that facility will be focused on production of conventional, heavy-duty trucks only.
Navistar also announced that it will cease production by mid-year 1997 of its Internationalr 8200 heavy trucks, which are currently produced at the Springfield plant. This initiative is in keeping with plans to reduce complexity at Springfield. Navistar will continue to fill customer orders that were received by the end of January 1997 for the International 8200 models.
In new product development, the company is scheduled to begin production next month in Chatham of the Internationalr 9100 truck. The International 9100 model is a heavy-duty truck designed to meet the needs of local and regional operators, with applications including beverage, refrigeration, less than truck load (LTL), hub-and-spoke freight pickup and general freight delivery.
In simplifying its product line, the company rolled out its Diamond SPECT vehicles, which involve a simplified ordering system and manufacturing process. Diamond SPEC enables purchasers of Internationalr 9000 series premium conventional trucks to specify their vehicles using 11 categories of pre-engineered components.
"Since the roll out of the program, 75 percent of stock trucks purchased by our dealers have been Diamond SPEC vehicles," Horne noted.
In November, Navistar broke ground for its $167 million truck assembly plant in Escobedo, Mexico. Production at the new plant is slated to begin in early 1998, with a daily production rate of 65 trucks on one shift achieved later in the year.
Outlook for 1997 Industry Demand
Navistar forecasts that industry demand for heavy trucks in the United States and Canada will reach 170,000 units in 1997, down 13 percent from 195,400 heavy trucks sold by the industry in 1996. "While we have not revised our forecast, current order receipts indicate that there may be some strength beyond this level," Horne noted.
The company also expects that industry demand for medium trucks in the United States and Canada will reach 112,000 units in 1997, a slight decrease from the 113,200 trucks delivered in 1996.
Navistar forecasts that industry demand for school buses in fiscal 1997 will remain relatively flat year over year with the 32,500 buses sold in 1996.
Navistar International Corporation, with headquarters in Chicago, is the leading North American producer of heavy and medium trucks and school buses. In the first quarter, Navistar continued as the sales leader in the combined United States and Canadian retail markets for medium and heavy trucks and school buses, achieving a 26.6 percent share, up from the 25.1 percent share the company held at the same time a year ago. The company also is a worldwide leader in the manufacture of mid-range diesel engines which are produced in a range of 175 to 300 horsepower.

Britain loses seat on world court for first time since 1946
UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Britain lost a seat on the International Court of Justice on Monday for the first time since the tribunal started work in 1946, a setback seen by some diplomats and commentators as the result of waning international influence following its vote to leave the European Union.
Based at The Hague, Netherlands, the 15-member world court is the U.N.'s top judicial organ and its job is to settle disputes between countries.
Five judges are elected every three years and serve for nine years.
After four rounds of voting, Ronny Abraham of France, Abdulqawi Ahmed Yusuf of Somalia, Antonio Augusto Cancado Trindade of Brazil and Nawaf Salam of Lebanon were elected Thursday by required majorities in both the General Assembly and Security Council.
Britain's Christopher Greenwood and India's Dalveer Bhandari, both running for re-election to the court, were forced into a runoff for the fifth seat because Greenwood had the required majority in the 15-member Security Council while Bhandari topped the vote in the 193-member General Assembly.
But Bhandari's support was gaining while Greenwood's was diminishing, apparently leading the British judge to drop out.
Bhandari was then easily elected Monday by both the assembly and the council.
"We are naturally disappointed," Britain's U.N. ambassador, Matthew Rycroft, said, "but it was a competitive field with six strong candidates."
He said the United Kingdom will continue to support the court's work "in line with our commitment to the importance of the rule of law."
Before the vote, Britain's Guardian newspaper said that "losing a British presence on the court would be an international political embarrassment."
A Greenwood loss "will be interpreted as a blow to the U.K.'s international standing post-Brexit," the paper said. It will also demonstrate "the increasingly limited diplomatic influence wielded by the British foreign secretary, Boris Johnson, at the U.N."

I've been given a number of great recommendations. Unfortunately, that's not totally present here, so I wanted to go from my absolute least favourite thing that I've read recently to something I definitely loved to pieces just so I could end on a positive note.
fml by Shaun David Hutchinson
A story about a boy who has been annoying and disgustingly obsessed with a girl for years who goes to her party, hoping he can now start dating her because she finally broke up with her boyfriend. Sounds incredibly cliché, doesn't it? Probably because it is, and it has lines showing that it's sometimes self-aware of how it's identical to a stereotypical teen movie or whatever.
Here's the one thing that I liked about this novel: It's told from the perspective of the same character and shows that, depending on the choices you make, the events of a situation will turn out differently.
Except they don't. The two different stories somehow end up proving that 'fate is real,' as the protagonist realises he's not really in love with the girl he's been in love with for the entirety of high school. In one, he finds he's really fallen for a Manic Pixie Dream Girl that took him to the party after he he was left on the side of a street for basically insulting another girl who was trying to make out with him in a car. In the other path, he doesn't meet this MPDG until the very end when she intrudes upon his conversation at a diner after the party went terribly bad.
The fact that anyone thinks stalking someone for three to four years is a good setup for potential romance frustrates me; the fact that this is barely addressed other than for one character to threaten to stop being the protagonist's friend but still help him in his conquest is absurd. There was so much done in these novels that I often felt like hurling it out the window.
And for good measure, the one bisexual character in the entire book? Basically gets insulted repeatedly by varying people. So that's fun. I honestly wouldn't recommend this unless you can tolerate those hyper-cliché and overly stereotypical teen movies because that's all this is.

I originally intended to purchase the actual novel by Melissa de la Cruz, but I mistakenly ordered the graphic novel. That's fine because it is one of the most beautifully illustrated graphic novels I've seen, and it only serves to make me more interested in the actual series. I completely plan to purchase the books now and am hoping that they don't disappoint me.
For those unfamiliar, the story is about the lives of affluent teenagers who find out that they're reincarnated vampires who originated from the Pilgrims. The protagonist is a girl who, unaware of her status as a half-vampire, is suddenly experiencing cravings she can't explain and memories that she can't make sense of. And then suddenly they're being murdered, and no one really understands why.
I'm sure the one part of the story that annoyed me — that pretty much everyone is an affluent person, which I suppose makes sense if you're an immortal being who came from a group of colonisers — is going to be the major part of the novels that annoys me. But honestly, I was more focused on the illustrations than anything else. The colours are so vibrant when they have to be and appropriately dark when necessary; I have a weakness for beautiful art, so that might help its case.
It sounds like a ludicrous story, but this version of it has managed to intrigue me. I'm not sure why. But I love the graphic novel for its beautiful illustrations, so I'd recommend that people at least check it out for that reason. Even if the novel itself sounds absurd, which it really does.
Coda (#1) by Emma Trevayne
Of all the books I've read recently, Coda is absolutely my favourite. It's a dystopian novel set in a time when the city once known as New York has been taken over by the Corp, a group that has been encoding music with addictive elements. As a result, music is a required drug that people must partake in, either at home through their consoles or in public venues such as clubs.
Anthem, the main protagonist, is a natural musician who is forced to play in an underground band. Because music is used to control the population, the Corp controls who is allowed to play it; unauthorised use or creation of music can lead to a person becoming an Exaur, having their ability to hear removed.
I love this book because Anthem is exactly the kind of person to lead a revolution; no one sees him as a perfect person, and he's constantly mentioning why he's not the person to lead everyone to freedom. But he cares for everyone in his life; he cares for his siblings, his parents, his friends. He cares for almost anyone that he meets, and that shows how much of a strength and vulnerability this is. This is refreshing because he's not the stereotypical leader that fiction would have you believe exists; he's a person who has flaws along with things that make him wonderful.
And I love how diverse this book feels. Unless I missed them, there's really no obvious hints at what people look like other than colours of hair and eyes; the protagonist is bisexual, and that's never an issue. It feels like such a complete world in so many ways, and it would be a beautiful movie. But only if they made the cast as diverse as they were in my head. Seriously, the whole time I was reading this, I kept imagining someone like Roshon Feng as Anthem.
That also means that now I need to order Chorus and wait for a few weeks until I can enjoy that one.

Hyperlite Men's Marek Wakeboard with Team CT Bindings '15
Product Details
The Hyperlite Men's Marek Wakeboard has a new shape and the volume of the board is now reduced by 15% making it lighter than the original generation. Maintaining a responsive edge and speed into the wake was key in the new design. The Abrupt Continuous rocker line produces great pop off the wake while allowing the board to maintain the quick feel it has been famous for. The next generation Marek features slightly mellower base features resulting in a quicker release off the wake, allowing a rider to initiate a trick sooner. The Team Closed Toe boot offers mid range support for the rider looking for a little extra flex, but with no loss of hold thanks to its heel retention strap. This feature pulls the riders foot into the heel pocket as the boot is laced for reduced lift.

I currently have an inground pool with about 3' of concrete around it, and another 3' of brick around that.
The trouble is that the concrete has heaved/settled and there are large gaps at the expansion joints. I would like to redo this area and achieve a more uniform, clean look. Any suggestions? Do I have to rip it up and start over or is there something that can overlay this? If I have to start over does anyone have suggestions? I'm sure money will be an option, so I will likely need to find something that is on the economical side.

Toronto firm Amantea Architects have designed this backyard and pool pavilion for a home near Toronto, Canada, and formed it with wooden materials.
"The design is conceived as a pavilion – an assembly of ground, wall, and roof planes – that works together with the tree line to edit out the view of the bungalow beyond. The versatility of wood allows the pavilion to be at once opaque and transparent and at times luminous, and serves as the main focal point of the yard, instead of the neighbouring house," Amantea said.
The rear pavilion structure was blocking views from a neighbouring property features slats of Douglas Fir screen, this boards provide privacy, outdoor living spaces, and amenities for a new swimming pool. The change room features bench seating, next to the change room is a rainfall shower that's partially open to the outdoors to brings a natural atmosphere inside.

Davine Interventionz
Star Theatres
Until 04 Feb 2017
Review by
Anthony Vawser
David Gauci deserves the highest level of respect for taking the chance in bringing South Australian premieres to the public. "Violet" fully justifies his faith; it is a lovely production of a lesser-known piece of musical theatre, with Gauci's cast and crew delivering a show that is frequently professional-standard in quality.
A coming-of-age tale, a father-and-daughter love story, an odyssey of discovery, an interracial romantic triangle, a journey back in time, a road trip through the heartland of historical America, a saga of forgiveness…"Violet" is all of these things and more, but is ideal for the whole family to enjoy.
Casmira Hambledon is a marvel in the lead/title role; she communicates so much with her silent, striking features alone, while her power and authority as a lead vocalist never fails to impress, even under circumstances that would appear to physically challenge any singer. Hambledon forms a perfect team, and a superb match, with Eloise Q Valentine – a vivid performer in her own right – as the younger version of Violet.
The supporting cast offers plenty of highlights: Andrew Crispe is ideally cast, and spot-on, as a faith healer; the script provides his character with more dimensions than you might expect, and Crispe gracefully avoids caricature in his portrayal. Mitchell Smith and Fahad Farooque are a believable pair of military men; one a callow youth falling back on arrogance and spite, the other striving to see the bright side of life against the odds. Adam Goodburn, as Violet's father, has moments that are soul-stirring in their emotional power, while Jenny Scarce-Tolley is reliably delightful playing a number of gently comic types that are encountered along the way. As the hotel singer, Carly Meakin brings the house down with her knockout white-soul voice!
MD Peter Johns' band is smooth, supportive, colourful, and capable of negotiating multiple movements with sharp shifts. The arrangement and execution of chorus vocals is stirring, stunning, gorgeous. Gauci's staging of critical scenes like the gospel revival and the central accident is brilliantly effective. Mike Phillips' lighting is textured and colourful. Costumes by Louise Watkins are sensational!
"Violet", while telling a relatively simple and focused story (by Doris Betts), encompasses a great many worthy and engaging themes. It manages to be emotionally rich without the need for simplistic sentimentality. The music and lyrics (by Jeanine Tesori and Brian Crawley) are sturdy and warm, generating unusually complex feelings, and are given superb dynamism by an expert cast. Though its plot momentum tends to lag at times, "Violet" never loses its way, or its audience's attention, for long - and we are rewarded with one of the most beautiful conclusions in this reviewer's recent memory…It all adds up to a delight that shouldn't be missed.
Rating: 4.5 stars (out of 5)

Laundry centers combine a washer and a dryer in one stacked unit. Compared with high-end washer and dryers, laundry centers have fewer whistles and bells. The washer will have fewer wash cycles and options, but often simpler controls. In the dryer, you'll find the basic settings.
Most laundry centers require standard venting and a 240 volt electrical supply, the same as a standard washer and dryer. It's also possible to get a laundry center that runs on gas for the dryer. You'll find that gas and electric dryer performance is similar, but a gas dryer should save you money and fuel costs over the long run.
A combo washer dryer can be used virtually anywhere, there's no need for a designated laundry area. You can use the unit by a bathroom or a kitchen sink and with a portability kit, roll it away and store it when not in use. All that's needed to install a combo are a 110 volt plug and access to a cold water faucet or sink to use as the water source and drain. Since no laundry hookup or venting is required, the ease of installation makes combo washers ideal, not only for tight spaces, but homes and apartments that lack traditional connections.

We now enter Pirate Alley. What does it hold in store for us?
How A Convoy Should Work
Here starts the convoy. This is a formation devised by Lo Brust, the rally organiser, to safeguard the boats as we began our journey through 'Pirate Alley' Although still in 'safe' waters Lo wanted us to get used to the formation as it was difficult to sustain, as we were to find out. This is where the arguments start…
Cowries, Turtles, Ospreys and Graves!
The moment we stepped ashore on Sadla Island our senses were on fire. Like something out of a Jules Verne novel this volcanic island was teeming with wildlife. These pictures are some of my favourite nature shots, especially the sunset ones. Make the most of these pics because from here on it the rally starts getting tough. The smiles will be replaced by grimaces as the fleet prepares itself for 700 miles of hell!
Move! Move! Now! Go!
The fact we were kicked off Mersa Dudo was a blessing in disguise for Sadla Island is an absolute gem. In fact those who had managed to get ashore on the first night waxed lyrical about its wonders on the evening net. Tony of 'Full Flight' and I arranged to go ashore early next morning as he had discovered nesting turtles on the eastern shore.
Fan Belts And Braces
Rested and eager to move on, Liz and I fell into the trap of believing that the next bit of the journey would be fairly straightforward, despite the headwinds. How wrong could we have been? I'll give you a clue: very.
The Adventures Of Mutley In Freedom Bay
In my last post on Massawa I made the bold statement that Eritrea was my fave country I have ever visited. This was due to a number of factors, not least the people. It's anchorages like Freedom Bay, however, that make Eritrea a top spot for nature lovers and yotties. Freedom Bay was a large expanse of shallow water surrounded by incredible volcanic mountains. I suspect very few humans have ever gone ashore here. Even we only made it to one of the little islands and a spit of sand where I got some great shots of pelicans and ospreys. Another top anchorage and, finally, all the rally participants meet up together for the first time since Egypt!
Medical Aid For The Locals
Time to say goodbye to the people of Eritrea. Unbeknown to us as we continued down the coast of this beautiful country we would no longer meet Eritrean people, save for a few fishermen. Some of us did meet a few more locals, who were in need of some medication.
Massawa In HDR
Massawa has some stunning architecture left over from the Italians who ruled for many years. Thirty years ago it was the first town to be liberated from Ethiopia and so many of these beautiful buildings were shot to pieces. Eritrea is, according to the UN, the second poorest country in the world. The buildings may be fine examples of architecture from long ago but the local people do not have the money to renovate their homes. Once these buildings fall down, that's it, they'll be gone forever.
Fenkil: Celebrating Eritrea's Independence
We return to Massawa and Liz, bless her, went down with the nasty fever that was spreading amongst the yotties. It was a shame because she missed 'Fenkil', which was the 20th anniversary of Eritrea's independence. We had originally been told that all foreign yachts were to have left Massawa before the president came to do his speech but we later learned that actually the town would like us to stay and celebrate with them. What an honour.
Rudder Hell: Running Aground
We finally leave Egypt, at least officially. Having done the paper work to exit Egypt we made our way southwards, only to run into some nasty southerlies. With a lack of protective anchorages from southerlies we opt for Luli, which is a good 13 hours away. Unfortunately this meant we made the anchorage at the end of the day. It caught us out and three boats hit coral, one with some serious consequences.
Asmara: The Capital City In The Clouds
Part Two of the Asmara pictures, these ones of the city itself. Hopefully you saw Part One this morning of the road trip. The pics of the city itself are better than the ones of the bus journey to Asmara because we passed through the cloud cover and were back in the sun, giving me better light to take some snaps. Enjoy!
The Road To Asmara
A trip to Asmara, the capital of Eritrea, is essential. Do it if you have the chance because it is a wonderful city perched in the mountains above the clouds. For us, coming from Massawa, we took a four hour bus journey up through the mountains, stopping off half way for sweet tea. The journey was more impressive than the capital itself, as these photographs will testify. Yes, more snaps for your viewing pleasure folks, the first page of which starts with the journey from Massawa to Asmara. The Asmara pics will follow shortly…
Massawa Town In Photographs
You've met the Kids of Massawa, which was our last blog entry, now see the rest of it. In this series of images I've attempted to capture the diversity of this wonderful town. Some great shots here…
The Kids Of Massawa, Eritrea
Welcome to the second poorest country in the world: Eritrea. Could have fooled me though. It is as rich in culture, nature and people as any country I have visited and I'd go as far to say that it is quite possibly the most beautiful country I have ever visited. My first afternoon was spent meeting the local children who had no problems striking a pose for the camera! Check out these cheekie chappies…
Massawan Market Kids
Wandering the dusty market in Massawa, Eritrea, I turned a corner and bumped into this group of kids. Their parents all worked in the market and were more than happy to allow their kids to pose for me. Judging by these shots I don't think I was the first to photograph them because they knew how to work the camera!
Flaming Feluccas!
We spent three days in Luxor with Terry and Fiona of Roam II, taking in as many sights as possible before we left Hurghada. We'll post up some pictures and related podcasts at a later date. To give you a little taster, however, we thought we'd post up this little podcast, recorded on our third day in Luxor aboard a traditional felucca. A felucca is a traditional sailing boat used on the Nile. We're unsure exactly how old these modes of transport are but they are still used to get up and down Egypt's great river. We get to chat to the skipper, a young Nubian, and also get Terry and Fiona's take on life on the Nile.
Am I Back In Holland?
This huge, shallow marsa looked a bit like the Dutch waterways. Another bird sanctuary-cum-BBQ spot. I could attempt to impress you with a description of this fantastic sailing destination but you'll just get jealous, so instead I'll impress you with a picture of a blue-tipped reef shark we caught. Tasted bloody lovely when shallow fried in batter!
This is the first of three sets from this country of contrasts. What is there to say about Eritrea that my photographs don't already tell you? I can tell you that everyone I know who has visited Eritrea puts it up there as one of their favourite countries visited and I think it is perhaps my fave country of all time. It is the second poorest country in the world. Just remember that when you clock the amount of smiles captured here.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 18901
xinetd Time service broken
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:29:15 EDT
The internal time service of xinetd does not work, or if it does,
it is significantly different that previous inetd implementations.
Using rdate to set time from a LAN connection generates 'connection
refused' no matter what. It would seem to be a problem with libwrap ->
[root@junior /tmp]# rdate -s feenix
rdate: couldn't connect to host feenix: Connection refused
Oct 11 04:01:33 localhost xinetd[24131]: FAIL: time libwrap
None of the following in /etc/hosts.allow works: ALL : ALL,
ALL : 192.168.10.2, time : ALL, INTERNAL : ALL. ALL : <hostname>.
Nor does moving both hosts.deny and allow out of the way completely.
(Restart xinetd on each test.)
I forgot to say that telnet, wu-ftp, rsh, and rlogin are all
working fine. Config file:
wait = no
user = root
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
server = INTERNAL
This is fixed in xinetd-188.8.131.52pre11-1.

Report of a Comprehensive Evaluation Visit
This document is the complete Report of a Comprehensive Evaluation Visit by HLC to Kettering in February 2014. The HLC's recommendations are below.
- Monitoring: A monitoring report is required by December 1, 2015 (ADD LINK Kettering University Interim Report to the HLC 01Dec2015.pdf or Document 19) describing how capacity will be developed by Academic Affairs leadership for monitoring and improving assessment and other processes across academic programs.
Rationale: Processes to ensure quality, rigor and consistency of teaching effectiveness, faculty workload and related expectations, and assessment of University Learning Outcomes, independent of mode of delivery, is needed.
- Monitoring: A monitoring report is required by June 1, 2016 describing a systematic program review process, including evidence of its implementation, initial data collection, and institutional reflection on the initial findings. NOTE: In a follow-up letter (ADD LINK ) this monitoring report was not required by HLC. Instead this issue will be carefully examined in the 4th year self-study and visit.
Rationale: A robust and reoccurring process of program review that uses standard measures or performance indicators across academic programs and that generates data and information for use in resource allocation and decision making is essential for institutional planning.
The team considered whether a focus visit was required, but instead chose to recommend these monitoring reports. The rapid and positive turnaround of the campus in the past several years, primarily in non-academic areas, demonstrates that the new style of leadership by the administration is effective. The main concerns expressed throughout this comprehensive evaluation center on managing the academic side, and during the preparation of this report Kettering announced its new Provost who will assume the role on June 1, 2014.
The team is convinced that with this last key leadership position now filled, the institution has the ability to remedy the concerns raised without the need for a focus visit.

This saturday, Zac was at 2016 MTV Movie Awards at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California. He was a presenter. He joined his Neighbors 2 co-star Seth Rogen on stage at the 2016 MTV Movie Awards to present the award for Best Comedic Performance (the winner was Ryan Gosling) and the award for Breakthrough Performance (the winner was Daisy Ridley).
Zac got on his knees to apologize to Seth !
Rogen looked a lot, um, buffer than usual, which prompted a worried Zac to ask what was going on. "Dude, what's going on here?" he asked Rogen. "Your body, dude. You're enormous. You're huge. What the heck happened to you? What did you do to your body?" Rogen responded, "I think the real question, Zac, is what did you do to my body? You forced me into this! And not just you.

When you're selected as the state's top dentist in periodontics for four consecutive years, it's clear that you've achieved something special. That's the case for Tracy Ginsburg DMD, whose Warren, New Jersey-based operation has helped untold patients with serious dental concerns. From antibiotic treatments and bone grafting to sedation dentistry and sinus augmentation, those who've trusted Tracy Ginsburg DMD and her Associated Periodontists private practice have consistently walked away with a newfound sense of confidence. However, the road to being able to provide these life-improving services took a considerable amount of dedication to education.
Tracy Ginsburg DMD began her journey toward treating gum disease and more by earning her bachelor's degree from Trenton State College in 1992 and her dental degree from Temple University, in Philadelphia, in 1996. What followed was residency with the Medical College of Virginia for periodontics in 1999 as well as a fellowship with the American Cancer Society for head and neck surgery in 1995. Tracy Ginsburg DMD would also spend plenty of time on the other side of the lectern, or in this case, a dentist's chair in a teaching role. Among roles she held at dental schools and hospitals include pre-clinical instructor, pre-doctoral clinical instructor, certified basic life services (BLS) instructor with Atlantic Health Systems from 2000 to 2005 and associate clinical instructor with Newark Beth Israel from 1999 to 2009.
With such prestigious roles, it's no wonder then that Tracy Ginsburg DMD has also been the recipient of a number of honors and awards. Starting in 1991 as president of her college's Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority, she would later go on to serve as president of Temple University's Periodontal Honor Society in 1995 and 1996 and be voted top dentist in periodontics by NJ Monthly magazine. The latter honor was earned from 2010 straight through to 2013. In an interview with the magazine, Tracy Ginsburg DMD said that the rapidly-advancing field of computer-guided surgery was "100 percent customized for that patient and allows us to very quickly and very precisely place the implants."
While this is merely a brief overview of Ginsburg, her extensive and impressive resume and professional accomplishments, she always saves time for activities outside of the office. "I like to exercise and plan out healthy meals for my family. I am very into sustainable, organic foods. We don't eat anything processed in my house. Everything is homemade," she told NJ Monthly.

SOURCE: The OpenDaylight Project
January 16, 2014 07:00 ET
New Silver Members Join the Largest Open Source SDN and NFV Project to Advance Network Programmability
New Silver Members Join the Largest Open Source SDN and NFV Project to Advance Network Programmability
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 16, 2014) - The OpenDaylight Project, a community-led and industry-supported open source platform to advance Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), announced that Coriant and ZTE Corporation have joined the project to accelerate the adoption of SDN and NFV. With support from 31 member organizations, the OpenDaylight developer community is bringing together technologies, ideas and code to deliver a common, open source platform for network programmability.
For enterprise and service providers to move their SDN and NFV strategies forward with confidence requires the existence of a common, widely supported platform. OpenDaylight represents the largest community of developers working collaboratively to develop an open platform with a consistent set of APIs, expected systemic behaviors and a rich ecosystem of applications and supporting technologies that increase interoperability and reduce risk of implementation and evolution. Because it is open source, OpenDaylight can be a core component within any SDN- and NFV-based architecture, and anyone can use, modify and contribute to the codebase.
"As NFV takes center stage, it's exciting to see organizations like Coriant and ZTE Corporation contribute to the development of an open source SDN and NFV platform with OpenDaylight," said Neela Jacques, executive director for OpenDaylight. "Working collaboratively is the right way to produce the code and the build architecture that can change the face of networking."
About the newest OpenDaylight Project members:
Coriant founded as an independent company in 2013, is a leading supplier of future-proof optical transport, packet/optical switching and aggregation, and software-defined service control and management solutions to Tier 1 service providers worldwide. Coriant's products and solutions enable fixed line and mobile network operators to reduce operational complexity, increase service velocity, and improve resource utilization as transport networks scale in response to a new generation of high-bandwidth services and applications. The company operates worldwide in more than 48 countries and is headquartered in Munich, Germany. Coriant has R&D centers in Asia, Germany, Portugal and the United States, as well as a state-of-the-art production center in Berlin, Germany. Learn more at www.coriant.com.
"SDN and NFV are changing the way networks are designed, built and operated. We believe a common, open platform like OpenDaylight will create an environment that enables operators to tap into new revenue opportunities by not only enabling new services, but also deploying them faster and more efficiently," said Uwe Fischer, CTO of Coriant. "OpenDaylight's open and collaborative development approach to solving SDN and NFV will generate an environment that simplifies multi-vendor interoperability and allow member companies like Coriant to provide a level of networking that previously didn't exist."
ZTE Corporation is a global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions. Headquartered in Shenzhen, China, ZTE has a strong presence in the United States, with several R&D centers and a local headquarters in Dallas, Texas. As one of the largest mobile phone and telecom equipment manufacturers, ZTE works closely with carriers such as AT&T, Cricket Communications, Metro PCS, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon. The company's core products include wireless, exchange, access, optical transmission and data telecommunications gear and mobile phones.
"SDN and NFV have the potential to greatly transform the telecom industry by delivering a level of network flexibility and agility previously unavailable," said Cissy Yuan, Chief Architect and OpenDaylight PR with ZTE Corporation. "Industry wide collaboration on an open SDN and NFV platform with OpenDaylight will help us achieve this faster and allow carriers to more quickly innovate and roll out new services while preserving resources."
The first OpenDaylight Summit is being held February 4-5, 2014 in Santa Clara, Calif. This new conference unites enterprises, carriers and equipment providers to collaborate and learn about SDN and NFV. Attendees will also get a look into OpenDaylight's first code release, Hydrogen, as well as a glimpse at future releases.

Ndubuisi Francis in Abuja
The Federal Ministry of Finance has confirmed the suspension of the Director General of the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD), Nellie Mayshak.
The suspension followed the searchlight on PTAD, which was established in August 2013 in line with the provisions of Section 30 sub-section (2) (a) of the Pension Reform Act (PRA) of 2004 (amended in 2014) which stipulated the establishment of an independent pension department for the Public Service of the Federation.
The agency is responsible for the pension administration of the Defined Benefit Scheme (DBS), and was established to address the numerous pensioners' complaints that border on such issues as the non-payment of monthly pension, short payment of pension and gratuity, removal of name on pension payment voucher, non-payment of harmonised pension arrears, irregular payment of federal pensions and non receipt of pension after retirement, among others.
An online news portal, The Cable, which had first reported her suspension yesterday, said the development followed a damning audit report which uncovered an alleged scam running into billions of naira in PTAD.
Confirming the suspension via a telephone chat, the Special Adviser, Media, Minister of Finance, Mr. Festus Akanbi, said Mayshak's suspension was in tandem with civil service procedure to pave the way for unfettered investigations to be carried out.
Although he did not give details on why the PTAD chief executive was suspended, THISDAY gathered that Mayshak had already complied with the directive to proceed on suspension.
However, a close confidant of the suspended PTAD boss told THISDAY yesterday that she was in a meeting, but the nature and venue of the meeting could not be ascertained.
When contacted, another source close to her dismissed the alleged scam with a wave of the hand because of what he referred to as inbuilt mechanism in the pension system to forestall fraud under PTAD as against the recent experience in the Pension Reform Task Team (PRTT).
PTAD is made up of the Civil Service Pension Department (CSPD), Police Pension Department (PPD), Customs, Immigration and Prisons Pension Department (CIPPD), Treasury Funded Parastatal Pension Department (PaPD), and the Pension Support Services Department (PSSD)
In accordance with another Act of the National Assembly, the Military Pension Department, and the Security Agencies Pension Department were exempted from the consolidation and management of PTAD.
PTAD had in July last year disclosed that there were no fewer than 132,000 pensioners from the core civil service, parastatal, agencies and the police drawing pensions from the federal government.
At the same period, it reported the uncovering 3,000 ghost police pensioners, and saved over N100 million monthly, which would have been paid to the ghost pensioners.
The establishment of PTAD was a marked response to the huge police pension fraud involving the former Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team (PRTT), Abdulrasheed Maina, who has already been declared wanted by the police.

You may consider that it is possible to handle the catastrophe restoration all on your own.

Damage incurred from water may be rather tricky to address because it's a type of liquid. Water damage is among the most frequent reasons that homeowners file a house insurance policy case. It's not only caused by one thing. At times the water damage is indeed serious that it's extremely tough to comprehend where to begin If permitted to stand for at least 48 hours it's highly possible that the water damage will lead to irreversible structural damages to the house If set in a circumstance where significant water damage was caused to property, it is necessary the work is performed whenever possible.
Water damage service providers may use particular rules to eliminate dust mites and fungi. Some Water Damage service companies provide efficient and protected asbestos removal services. Of course, you might want to apply a service business that has considerable knowledge in water damage restoration.

During my last few years before retirement, I charged liberals double, then triple, then quadruple what I charged decent people. They paid happily, but I finally decided it was not enough. I'm not willing to work for a liberal at any price - and that now includes work that generates tax revenue for the communist in our White House. Who is John Galt?
Just curious: what product were you selling that allowed such variance in pricing?
