These cells are viable and may be grown in culture. This release of malignant cells may explain the appearance of port metastases at sites that are remote from the surgical dissection or that were never in direct contact with the tumor.View Full Article (PDF)

I got my start in publishing at Ross Yoon Literary Agency, a place known throughout the industry for its stellar nonfiction book proposals. The agents at the Washington, DC–based firm spend a great deal of time and effort shaping and perfecting their book proposals. And guess what? It pays off. The following are tips I learned not only from my first employers, but from proposals I've edited and ghostwritten for them and for other clients in the thirteen years since I left DC (calculating that just now has made me feel very old). My advice may sound a little harsh at times, but I believe in tough love at the beginning of a proposal process—there's plenty of time for cheerleading later in the game if you make it past the first kickoff. (And yes, I'm excited that football season is here.)
1. Have a kick-ass hook. What do you have to say? Has it been said before? Has it been said in this way before? Do you have a finely honed two-sentence pitch that will stick with people? Remember that agents and publishers see dozens of proposals a week. What makes yours memorable? What may seem like a unique experience to you and your peers could be old hat to editors.
Let's say you biked to South America to raise awareness for muscular dystrophy and now you want to write a book about it. Guess what? Acquisitions editors have seen dozens just like it. If you think you've found the key to dieting, or happiness, or financial success, how will your book proposal be different from the hundreds upon hundreds of similar proposals they've already seen? This may seem harsh, but it's better to ask yourself the tough questions now than down the road when you've put countless hours into a proposal that hangs on a not-so-great premise.
2. Believe in the power of the platform. Yes, I know you're tired of hearing about this. "Why do publishers only care about my platform and not the substance and quality of my book?" the would-be author asks bitterly. The answer is that they do care about the substance and quality of your book (see below), but they also care about your platform. Remember, their job security frequently depends on the books they acquire and how well these books sell. And no matter how much an editor might love the quality of your writing, she still has to go in and convince a sales team that a healthy readership already exists. Don't skimp on building your platform, on pushing your ideas, and on developing your social media savvy (in a natural, non-obnoxious way—see Andrea Dunlop for how).
3. Use the proposal format to highlight what's best about your book. There are certain pieces you really must have in every proposal: an overview, about the author, and marketing section. But beyond that, I like a freestyle approach. You need to give editors a sense of the book's structure and arc, and a strong handle on the quality of the writing. Those are the only absolutes. So if you have fantastic nuggets of wisdom to dole out in every single chapter, do so in extended chapter summaries. If the chapter-by-chapter progression is solid, but it's really the full chapters that have the meat, then include one or two completely fleshed-out sample chapters, and keep the chapter summaries short.
Memoir is perhaps the trickiest genre to represent in the proposal format. A memoir needs to have the same appeal as a novel, but you wouldn't be able to sell a novel based on a proposal. My approach to memoir is usually to opt out of sample chapters in favor of longer narrative chapter summaries. Think of it as the abridged version of your book. And if it sounds like this—writing the whole book in miniature—takes a long time, you're right. It does.
4. Quality writing still matters—and it always will. A proposal is a sales document, yes, but you are essentially proving to publishers that you have the chops to write a great book. Whether your writing talent comes through in the chapter summaries or the sample chapter doesn't matter, so long as it comes through. Don't assume an editor is going to go bananas about your platform or your hook and neglect to pay attention to the writing. Many have been in the position where they convinced their bosses to buy a book based on its great idea, only to find that the author couldn't pull it off, meaning they're faced with a potentially ugly contract termination, a hole on their spring list, or both. Editors need to know that you have the chops to pull off a book, and this is your chance to show them.
5. Substance is as important as flash. Your book needs enough new, fresh material to not only get a reader's attention, but to sustain it through eighty thousand words. If it doesn't, then what you have is a magazine article, not a book—and that's one of editors' most common reasons for sending a rejection letter.
6. Don't forget to shine, buff, and polish. This is the easy part if you're detail oriented. I don't recommend authors have their proposals copyedited—if you miss an obscure nuance from The Chicago Manual of Style, it's not going to make or break your chances. But it should be clean. The spacing and fonts should be consistent. The grammar should be impeccable. It's just annoying to read a proposal that looks messy, and it suggests that the author doesn't care enough to get it right. The last thing you want to do in a market this competitive is annoy the person you're trying to sell on your greatness.
I can't promise that if you nail all six of these points, then you'll land a six-figure book deal. I've had disappointments—everyone in the business has. But in a tough game, it only makes sense to go big or go home. On that note, have I mentioned football season starts this week? GO SEAHAWKS!

I Got Customers To Trust Me, But How Can I Get Them To Be Loyal
by Cheflady
(Danbury, CT, USA)
I agree with most of what the others wrote...text is fine except for video illustrations. We are at different place in our start-ups so it's only fair to include all the help you can provide.
As for me, I once had a business years ago decorating weddings and parties with elaborate balloon sculptures, which I closed due to extenuating personal circumstances. There were satisfied customers but the business struggled.
I am comfortable with the sales process...sitting with the customer and understanding what they need. I am confident about the product. What I need is to know how I can reach and have a continuous or repeat flow of customers...though I can only offer service to a few at a time now, since I cook for them.
However, I imagine in my mind a day when I can either evolve this business or have something related on the side, which will generate funds for me without my having to go out and cook meals. It would probably be food related and/or Internet driven. It hasn't taken shape in my mind yet.
And, yes, I am unemployed now and a month away from urgency...so generating funds overnight would be a PRIORITY for me.
Thank you again, Arturo, for caring to help us through this free course.

Del Canto finds 'higher calling' with IndyCar's Kingdom Racing
Unlike many IndyCar team owners, George Del Canto didn't grow up at the racetrack or with grease under his fingernails. While the self-described "finance geek" had been a fan of open-wheel racing since he was a child, the idea of owning a team didn't cross his mind until seven years ago.
"Growing up in Chicago, my dad took me to the Indianapolis 500 many times, and walking the pit lane for the first time when I was 12 made me a lifelong fan," said Del Canto, 62. "But I was just a fan and never had any commercial or professional dealings with motor sports until 2007."
Del Canto, the founder and managing director of Houston-based Kingdom Racing, lived in various locations around the world thanks to his career in international finance and commodity trading before moving to Houston in 2001. Kingdom Racing was created as an effort to combine his love for open-wheel racing with his desire to give thanks for the successes in his life.
"Kingdom Racing was born of a higher calling and higher purpose. It was a way to give something back to honor the Lord, who has given me all these blessings," Del Canto said.
More Information
About the event
What: Grand Prix of Houston IndyCar races.
When: Friday-Sunday
Where: NRG Park.
Tickets: grandprixofhouston.com/tickets
Del Canto used the team to deliver a spiritual message to individuals and families in need of guidance by hosting them at IndyCar series races across the country through the organization's Miles of Smiles ministry, but it didn't become a true IndyCar "team" until Del Canto met driver Davey Hamilton in 2008. Hamilton's open-wheel career began in the early 1990s, but he suffered severe injuries in a crash at Texas Motor Speedway in 2002 and was seeking to race again at the Indianapolis 500 when he joined forces with Del Canto.
Kingdom Racing provided financial support that allowed Hamilton to race at Indy and a handful of other events from 2008 through 2011. Hamilton retired from driving in 2012 and became a partner in Schmidt Peterson Motorsports, as did Kingdom Racing. In 2013, the team fielded cars for French driver Simon Pagenaud and Russian rookie Mikhail Aleshin. Kingdom Racing's agreement calls for it to provide financial backing and support solely for Pagenaud's No. 77 car, which will be competing in this weekend's Grand Prix of Houston at NRG Park.
The 30-year-old Pagenaud, the 2012 IndyCar series Rookie of the Year, recorded his first two career IndyCar victories in 2013 (Detroit and Baltimore) and finished third in points. He won the Inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis, contested on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway's road course, in May and enters this weekend fourth in points.
"George has become a good friend. He and his family have been with me since 2012, and it's been enjoyable," Pagenaud said. "They bring people to meet with me at the racetrack through the Miles of Smiles, and it's great because I meet people who've never been to a racetrack and I get to share my dreams with them."
Del Canto says Kingdom Racing plans to become a full-fledged, independent race team in the series next season and will be based in Indianapolis. In collaboration with longtime open-wheel owner Dennis Reinbold, the team assumed a leadership role in fielding the Indy 500 entry that rookie Sage Karam drove to an impressive ninth-place finish in the May race.
"It costs about $11 million to $15 million per year to field two cars in the series," Del Canto said. "It's become very evident that you either run at the front or nobody knows you, so you have to put together an effort that has the capability of winning to attract attention and satisfy your sponsors. Plus, it doesn't honor God if your car is running around at the back of the field with a Jesus Saves sticker hanging off it."

Will 49ers Say Goodbye to Colin Kaepernic?
Jim Harbaugh's attempt to turn Colin Kaepernick into an NFL quarterback hasn't worked and never will because Kaepernick doesn't believe it's necessary.
Kaepernick's free-lancing style has worked for a long time. It worked in high school because his athletic ability was far beyond his peers. It worked spectacularly well at Nevada Reno because coach Chris Ault had a system which could have been designed specifically for him. It worked in his first year of starting for the 49ers, when Harbaugh put him in for Alex Smith, who had to miss one game because of a concussion and wound up sidelined for the rest of the season. The rest of the league had no idea how to defense Kaepernick that first season. His running style, especially, confounded them because his long strides disguised his speed.
Now defensive coaches around the league have figured him out. This season, he's made an occasional spectacular play but overall, it's by far the worst season he's had. There are other reasons for that because this 49ers team is far below the teams which have gone to at least the NFC championship the last three seasons but it's also been obvious that the league has caught up to Kaepernick. I'm sure Harbaugh knew this would happen and he's tried this year to make Kaepernick more of a pocket passer, but it hasn't worked.
Steve Young, who was also an effective runner early in his 49ers career, had advice for Kaepernick in a lengthy interview he did with Eric Branch of the Chronicle a couple of weeks ago: To be a topflight quarterback, you have to learn to sit in the pocket and give your receivers a chance to get free downfield.
Rookie Raiders quarterback Derek Carr showed Kaepernick how it's done when the Raiders beat the 49ers last Sunday, staying in the pocket and looking for receivers downfield. Seattle's Russell Wilson has shown Kaepernick, too, when he's used his feet to buy time while always looking downfield, often finding a target for a big gain.
Kaepernick never does that. At the first sign of pressure, he starts running. Because defenses expect that now, he only occasionally gets loose for a good gain. Most of the time, he is sacked.
Even the best quarterbacks often have periods of adversity early. John Elway was easily the best collegiate quarterback I covered, and I marveled at his ability from the first time I saw him, in his first practice at Stanford. He made plays nobody could believe. In a game against USC, the Trojans' safety, Ronnie Lott, let Ken Margerum get behind him because he was confident Elway couldn't throw the ball over his head. But, Elway did, for a touchdown.
But in his Stanford career, Elway's teams were a game below .500, and they never went to a bowl game.
In contrast, Kaepernick's teams at Nevada Reno were good and got progressively better as he went along. His individual statistics improved markedly from year to year because he was playing in the perfect offense.
So, he had no reason to believe that it wouldn't be the same on the pro level. But, NFL coaches are smarter and spend much more time looking at video. They also have the players to implement their systems.
Kaepernick has the physical skills to be an excellent running back or perhaps even a receiver but those positions don't get the same attention – and usually, not the same money – as quarterbacks get. There have been players who have made the switch at the start of their pro careers, with Paul Hornung the most obvious example, but if a player starts his pro career as a quarterback, he's not likely to change. Tim Tebow is out of football because he refused to accept the judgment that he wasn't a quarterback, though he could certainly have made it as a running back.
So, I wouldn't expect Kaepernick to agree to a position switch, which probably means that his career with the 49ers is about to end. It seems almost certain that Harbaugh will be gone after this season, so there will be nobody left to fight for him. He (and his agents) agreed to a contract that can easily be broken if Kaepernick doesn't meet performance standards this year, which he probably won't.
The best guess is that the 49ers will look for a quarterback in the draft, even if it means trading up to get a better position, and let Kaepernick go. In the NFL, yesterday's heroics mean nothing. It's all about what you can do today.
What do YOU think? Let me know!

Huawei outpaces rivals in smartphone growth: IDC
Tracker report shows China-based firm's shipments surge 89.5%
China-based Huawei's smartphone business saw a year-on-year surge in shipments of 89.5% in the fourth quarter of 2012, outpacing even market-leading Samsung's 76% growth, according to the International Data Corporation (IDC).
While the global market for mobile phones grew by a modest 1.9%, year on year, in Q4, the more startling revelations in IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker report lie in the smartphone sector.
Apple, which led the pack in the same quarter in 2011, was relegated to runner up as its South Korean rival, Samsung increased shipments by 76% from 36.2m to 63.7m, to grab the sector crown with 29% of the market, as compared with 22.5% in Q4 2011. While the iPhone maker still managed 29.2% growth (from 37m units to 47.8m units) in a market that showed overall expansion of 36.4% year on year, this was the weakest growth among the top five smartphone vendors and the company's share shrunk from 23% to 21.8%.
Huawei slipped into the number-three position ahead of Sony and while the Chinese manufacturer only enjoyed a market share of 4.9%, this share had grown from 3.5% the previous year, representing a 40% increase compared with Samsung's 29% increase. Huawei increased shipments from 5.7m to 10.9m, representing a rise of 89.5%, compared with Samsung's 76% unit-volume increase.
ZTE found itself in fifth position with 4.3 % of the market, just below Sony with 4.5%.
"The high-growth smartphone market, though dominated by Samsung and Apple, still presents ample opportunities for challengers," said Kevin Restivo, senior research analyst with IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker.
"Vendors with unique market advantages, such as lower-cost devices, can rapidly gain market share, especially in emerging markets. A good example is Huawei, which overtook LG as a Top 5 vendor in the overall mobile phone market and passed HTC to become a top-five smartphone vendor."
"The fact that Huawei and ZTE now find themselves among the top five smartphone vendors marks a significant shift for the global market," noted Ramon Llamas, research manager with IDC's Mobile Phone team.
"Both companies have grown volumes by focusing on the mass market, but in recent quarters they have turned their attention toward higher-end devices. In addition, both companies have pushed the envelope in terms of industrial design with larger displays and smaller form factors, as well as innovative applications and experiences."

Orcs Must Die! Unchained PS4 Release Date Announced
Ben Sheene / Jun 28th, 2017 No Comments
Robot Entertainment announced its free-to-play tower defense game Orcs Must Die! Unchained is releasing for PS4 on July 18.
Originally released on PC in April, Orcs Must Die! Unchained went through an extensive beta period and was also playable at the 2016 PlayStation Experience.
Orcs Must Die! was first released in October 2011. A sequel followed in 2012 that introduced co-op after it was highly requested by fans. Orcs Must Die! Unchained incorporates the wave-based defense gameplay those familiar with the series have come to know. Players can team up or play solo to build traps from increasingly difficult waves of orcs and other monsters.
Unchained introduces new game types that provide a spin on the tower defense gameplay. Sabotage is a head-to-head party mode that takes two teams of three players and pits them against each other. Players use consumable cards to send waves of enemies at the opposing team. An endless mode and weekly challenges provide additional ways to play.
As a free-to-play game, Unchained limits players' starting heroes to three. The War Mage, Sorceress, or Blackpaw offer different sets of skills that provide a glimpse into the game's mechanical depth and strategy. Players earn skulls and coins through regular play, log-in bonuses, and real money purchases to upgrade traps, acquire new heroes, and obtain additional cosmetic skins for heroes.
PlayStation Plus subscribers will also be treated to an exclusive package which contains in-game currency, skins, and consumables. Valued at $20, this package is free until Aug. 17.

When we speak of building an environmentally literate citizenry, we want people not only to be knowledgeable about environmental subjects but also to connect the dots to apply the knowledge to action. America's Water Future is working to help do just that.
In one of the first examples of an America's Water Future program, TOMRA—a global company specializing in recycling solutions—sponsored pilot workshops and festivals connecting water and recycling near their U.S. headquarters in Connecticut. As Project WET's partner in Connecticut, the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) organized the events.
The program began at the Project WET USA Coordinators' Conference in Greenville, SC; where Project WET Foundation President and CEO Dennis Nelson had unveiled a new activity, "Zeroing in on No Waste", to coordinators. The activity is designed to make explicit the connections between water, improved solid waste management through recycling and cleaner rivers, streams, lakes and even oceans. Students loved the activity as it directly positioned them as active participants in taking positive action in their own school yards and likely back home.
Later in the fall, the Project WET Foundation and TOMRA began to discuss ways that the company could support a recycling-focused education project under the America's Water Future banner. The Project WET Foundation got in touch with us at CT DEEP, and ultimately TOMRA decided to sponsor a series of workshops and festivals for teachers and students near Shelton, incorporating the recycling theme. Two teacher/facilitator workshops in November reached 18 teachers and 12 facilitators (master trainers). Based on workshop registrations, teachers could register to hold a Recycling Festival at their school. Some 380 students and teachers were able to participate in activities and lessons highlighting the connection between recycling and water in November and December, and an additional festival is scheduled this spring for another 115 students.
It was a great experience for us in Connecticut, and the timing was perfect. Connecticut Project WET has begun to restructure its facilitators and their role as educators to help broaden topics and themes addressing issues in our state. It started with Storm Water, which was an easy link, and grew to include fisheries and now recycling. Recycling has become a big focus here, because Connecticut is unique in its trash, energy and recycling plans. The state has announced the following goals:
- Increase recycling to 60 percent by 2020 (the current rate is 30 percent)
- Have public remove the term "landfill" from their vocabulary (Connecticut has no active landfills because trash is burned for energy, which is not an ideal solution either)
- Understand that recycling is the law for everyone
- Educate on the Hierarchy of Solid Waste management
- Understand single stream recycling to become better recyclers
Meanwhile, our goals at Project WET Connecticut include:
- Increase awareness of water as resource for everything
- Connect water conservation with natural resource conservation (i.e., materials management)
- Reduce waste of water in processing of goods
- Provide public with opportunities to expand education around resources and water to be next generation water stewards.
- Understand the benefits of clean stream recycling, which prevents the contamination of sorted materials by using reverse vending machine technology.
CT DEEP this year had already asked me to help create a recycling education network. My first thought was to go to our WET facilitators because they are already in schools and communities working on natural resource topics. We had started building a recycling content training but needed a way to get them out and using things. Connecting recycling to WET provided a specialized training for facilitators on how to connect the theme through existing WET activities, augmented by WILD and PLT and now the new Zero in on No Waste Lesson. The TOMRA project gave things the kick start and application we needed to generate local action.
I have to thank the Project WET Foundation and TOMRA for this opportunity. We look forward to using this subject as a focus for our water festivals here in Connecticut. I would love to share agendas and project with others who might be interested in expanding connections in your state and facilitator training. Send an email and I will gladly respond.
- 2 professional development workshops
- 4 water festivals at schools
- Active TOMRA participation in all events
- Facilitators reinvigorated
- Direct connection to families on CT recycling practices
- Increased awareness with schools and school recycling practices
- DEEP recycling offices interest and WET materials
- New partners

A. O. Smith posts positive Q1
A. O. Smith Corp. has posted first-quarter net earnings of $47.5 million, compared with $24.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Net earnings included an after-tax gain of $16.7 million, related to the sale of shares of Regal Beloit Corporation, which were received from the 2011 divestiture of the electric motor business.
First-quarter sales totaled $468.6 million, up 12% from sales of $417.4 million for the same period last year. The company cited first-quarter contributions from Lochinvar, which was acquired in August 2011, and an 18% increase in sales of A. O. Smith-branded product in China.
"Two highlights in the quarter came from our higher growth businesses," said Paul Jones, chairman and CEO. "Lochinvar grew more than 10%, and our sales of A. O. Smith-branded products in China continued to grow at a double digit rate."
Sales of the North America segment, which includes the U.S. and Canada water heater and boiler businesses, increased 10% to $353.3 million from first-quarter 2011 sales of $321.7 million.
Outside of North America, which consists of the China, India and Europe water heating businesses and the water treatment business in Asia, first-quarter sales totaled $124.2 million, up 18% from first quarter 2011 sales of $105.2 million. Higher sales of A. O. Smith branded products in China, driven in part by a pre-buy ahead of an April 2012 price increase, were the primary reason for the sales increase.
During the first quarter, A. O. Smith broke ground for a new 457,000-sq.-ft. water heater plant in Nanjing, China. The new plant will accommodate increased water heater demand as well as growth for new products recently introduced in the China market, including the heat pump, solar and combi boiler.
Toro acquires assets of Stone Construction Equipment
Bloomington, Minn.-based Toro has acquired light construction and hardscape product assets of Stone Construction Equipment, which manufactured concrete and hardscape equipment for rental and construction companies. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
This acquisition builds on the company's position in the rental market with a line of branded products in the hardscape space, including concrete and mortar mixers, material handlers, compaction equipment, and other concrete power tools. These products extend Toro's offering to contractors and rental companies, and complement its recent acquisitions of tree care and turf renovation product lines.
"Stone built a solid reputation around quality," said Rick Rodier, general manager of Toro's Sitework Systems Business. "These products are respected by rental and construction customers, and complement our current line of compact utility equipment and trenchers extremely well. We see great opportunity to leverage our core strengths in innovation, engineering and distribution to grow share in these new categories."
Simpson reports Q1 sales increase
Simpson Manufacturing has reported income, net of tax, of $7.2 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared with income of $7.1 million in the first quarter of 2011.
Net sales for the quarter increased 19.8% to $158.7 million compared with net sales of $132.5 million in the year-ago period.
Sales increased in the quarter throughout North America due in part to a mild winter and, in Europe, as a result of the recent European acquisition. Sales increases were above average in all U.S. regions, except California, compared with the first quarter of 2011.
Sales to all distribution channels increased, with above-average increases in sales to contractor distributors and lumber dealers.

Two years ago, we discovered my son Sam was allergic to milk. I wanted to keep nursing Sam, who was only three-months old, so I began to eliminate dairy from my diet. Unfortunately, I had no clue what to eat, and I was starving, cranky, and discouraged. After about four days, I gave up.
These days there are many stories like mine, and many mothers like me – moms of fussy babies with known (or unknown) allergies, who want to keep nursing but have no clue what to eat. Luckily, not all of these stories end up like mine and Sam's. I am fortunate to know many determined mommies who have eliminated allergen after allergen in their fight to have a healthy, happy, breastfed baby. Taking tips from these moms, in my second go-round I was able to eliminate milk, egg, and peanut while breastfeeding my second son for four months (with only a minimal amount of hunger and crankiness:) .
The recipes on this blog are ones my friends have invented, adapted, or found, and this site is for my friends – and for all those other mommies out there who begin realize their breastfed baby is allergic to something, and wonder, what the heck am I going to eat? For some families, restricted eating is a stage. For others, like our families, it becomes a lifestyle.
At one point, there were so many of us doing select allergy diets that my friend Reagan suggested: Why not try to put together all of our allergy-friendly recipes to share? So here we are! The goal is to provide a place to go for find yummy, filling, allergy-free REAL recipes for families. My hope is that if you're reading this and you don't have allergies, and your kid doesn't have allergies, and you don't really care about allergies, that this would be another place you would come when you don't know what to make for dinner, because these recipes we've made or found or perfected are really, really good.
Guide to what you'll find on The Allergy-Free Kitchen Blog:
- Dairy-Free Resources. . . . Product substitutes, recipes, and two week plan of exactly what you could eat dairy free. This is geared towards nursing moms who need to eliminate just dairy, or kids with only dairy allergies.
- Toddler and Babyfood Recipes . . . Allergy-sensitive babyfood and finger food recipes for kids.
- The Two-Week Allergy-Free Meal Plan (coming soon) – a jam-packed list of what to eat for two weeks allergy-free: breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks all free of the eight major allergens (milk, egg, peanut, tree nut, shellfish, fish, wheat, and soy). Our idea is that this might help a nursing mom who needs to eliminate potential allergens for a time.
- Finally, Allergy-Free Recipes!! . . . Our database of delicious, real-food recipes that are dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free, peanut-free, tree-nut free, fish-free, AND wheat-free. If you have a good recipe or tip, pass it on! You can comment on any post or email it to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Author: Jordana Frankel
Edition: Paperback
Published: April 30, 2013
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books
Pages: 465
Source: ARC provided by the publisher
Category: Dystopia, Romance, Paranormal
Trailer: not available.
Sixteen-year-old Ren is a daredevil mobile racer who will risk everything to survive in the Ward, what remains of a water-logged Manhattan. To save her sister, who is suffering from a deadly illness thought to be caused by years of pollution, Ren accepts a secret mission from the government: to search for a freshwater source in the Ward, with the hope of it leading to a cure.
However, she never expects that her search will lead to dangerous encounters with a passionate young scientist; a web of deceit and lies; and an earth-shattering mystery that's lurking deep beneath the water's rippling surface.
Jordana Frankel's ambitious debut novel and the first in a two-book series, The Ward is arresting, cinematic, and thrilling—perfect for fans of Scott Westerfeld or Ann Aguirre.
Honestly, I never heard of this book until the publisher sent me an ARC by surprise. I immediate did my research and found myself mesmerized by how ambitious the plotting was. I didn't expect anything yet because I don't want to be disappoint yet here I am, struggling to cure this book hangover.
Ren is immune to the Blight, an illness caused by too much pollution. She don't have any idea why her blood is immune but she's living her life to mainly survive in the Ward. It is what's left of Manhattan after the Wash Out. She also takes care of her foster sister who is dying of Blight and to be able to buy her medicines, Ren accepts an offer from the Governor to find a location for a mysterious fountain of fresh water in exchange of a very good compensation. Little did she know, the search would change everything she believed in and encounters a possibility of love.
I've seen pictures of Manhattan and it has always been a dream to visit it one day. The world-building Frankel created is terrifically full of awesomeness and its very scenic. The dystopian world The Ward offers wouldn't just scare readers a little because who knows it might happen but also its something I have never read before. The vehicles they use for racing were logical and how intriguing the Blight was got me hooked. However, I found some points I didn't quite understand. I was waiting the entire time about how the Blight started and how long has it been since the Wash Out happened but I didn't find answers. Add another question for the fresh water. I guess I needed more. Also, I tagged this as paranormal because some of its aspects were, for me, belonged to the genre. I was a little hesitant at first because combining such strong genres might jeopardize a promising plot but The Ward absolutely nailed it! Surely, the entirety of this ambitious debut novel would surely stuck in my head for a very long time.
Ren is an extraordinary sixteen-year old. She's beyond strong and mature. I never have given it much thought until now but she is remarkably one of the best female protagonist there is. She only proved that age shouldn't matter at all when it comes to being the person you always wanted to be plus it also shouldn't be an issue when it comes to ginormous and heavy set of responsibilities. I admired how big her heart was. Derek on the other hand, made my head hurt. He's unpredictable and easily swayed by his emotions. I like his effect on Ren and I really want to see how their blossoming hate-love relationship eventually end. Oh and Callum. His intelligence is very sexy and I would also like to see much of him. Lastly, the racing team is very promising. They make me an adrenaline junkie!
I may have several questions about the novel but the impact of the plotting did a serious damage to my brain. This is definitely a refreshing kind of dystopian and up until now, my brain is still trying to analyze everything! Frankel provided an exciting and thrilling adventure in a world where water is gold and racers kick some butts!
Thank you so so much Sarah of HarperCollins for the ARC!

I want to design a bullet to "near" final shape/size to be finally sized by a hammer swage. This is not a new idea, as the mid-1800's this was THE way to make an accurate bullet for the muzzleloading target rifles with the false muzzle starter. I am wondering if there is anyone out there that has had experience with such a design? How much does the bullet need to be undersized (probably only a few tenths?) so that it will slip into the swage die? Again, it may be silly to go that route when we have the ubiquitus plastic sabot available to help to keep an undersized bullet alligned properly.
I am thinking that a secant design with a bevel base and a minimal flat point, no grooves at about .405 would fit in a high pressure sabot for a 45 cal muzzleloader bore with .458 bore dia and a .4675 groove diameter. What would work best for a 30 or 40 to 1 alloy?

This original lithograph in colours is hand signed in pencil by the artist ''Miró'' at the lower right margin.
The work is also hand numbered in pencil "40/100" at the lower left margin.
This lithograph was printed and published in a limited edition of 100 signed and numbered impressions in 1973 by Centre national d'art contemporain, Ministère des affaires culturelles, Paris.
The paper bears the Arches watermark.
Provenance: Private American collection. Purchased in the 1980's.
Literature: Mourlot, F. & Leiris, M. (1977). Joan Miró: Der Lithograph, Vol. V 1972-1975. Geneva: Weber.
Reference: Mourlot 896
Condition: Excellent condition
Joan Miró rejected the constraints of traditional painting, creating works "conceived with fire in the soul but executed with clinical coolness," as he once said. Widely considered one of the leading Surrealists, though never officially part of the group, Miró pioneered a wandering linear style of Automatism—a method of "random" drawing that attempted to express the inner workings of the human psyche. Miró used color and form in a symbolic rather than literal manner, his intricate compositions combining abstract elements with recurring motifs like birds, eyes, and the moon. "I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music," he said. While he prized artistic freedom, Miró revered art history, basing a series of works on the Dutch Baroque interiors of Hendrick Sorgh and Jan Steen. In turn, Miró has inspired many artists—significantly Arshile Gorky, whose bold linear abstractions proved a foundational influence on Abstract Expressionism.

[IMGCAP(1)] "The firm that pays me", you say. While I would not argue with that obvious truth, take a moment to look more deeply into the question, and consider a different possibility. What if who you worked for was first and foremost, yourself? Lots of people want to have their business, so what would happen if you took the view that you were an entrepreneur in your own career?
Maybe it sounds silly, but let's explore this idea for a moment. You are now, as of this moment, in your own business. Let's call it "Me, Inc.". You obviously want to succeed in your business, so what are some things that you would do to help make that happen?
Would it make sense to clarify the mission or purpose of your business, identify your customers, and decide on what you need to deliver to them? Certainly the firm you work for would be a top customer. Theres also the people you report to in the firm. Would you consider them to be customers of Me, Inc? What about the clients served by the firm that you do work on, or have a relationship with? Arent they customers as well?
As a successful entrepreneur, would it be important for you to take the time to ask questions to make sure you understand what your different customers expect from you, and then do your best to deliver it? Perhaps checking in with them on a regular basis to see how you're doing?
The way I see it, you are the one constant that will always be with you throughout your career. Share with me your thoughts and comments on whether or not taking this unusual view of your career could serve you, and if so, how?
As a consultant and trainer for the past two decades, Rick Solomon, CPA, both challenges and empowers accountants to reach higher levels of success. Making more money in fewer hours, doing more enjoyable work, and having an awesome life/work balance are just part of how he defines success. He is chief executive of RAN ONE Americas.

Here Preply presents resources and advice for parents and children trying to further their education
Category: SAT Prep Classes
There comes a time in every high school student's life when he or she will have to start preparationaring for a dreaded standardized admissions test. Hearing the very mention of the SAT or ACT can strike fear into most students' hearts, and it has been the source for much stress and anxiety. Preparing for the SAT can seem extremely intimidating, but a smart study plan can actually help alleviate the test taking jitters by improving skill and confidence.
With respect to content, the SAT is actually a very predictable test that can be prepared for through proper practice and guided instruction. Depending on learning style and ability, some students who fare well by participating in group classes while others do better under the tutelage of a qualified test prep expert.
If you are interested in SAT group classes, we have compiled a list of all the available options for SAT classes in Waterbury, Connecticut.
There are 1 classes that will be held exactly in area around Waterbury. To give you more options to consider, we have also listed 5 classes that are within a half-hour drive from the city. We have searched the web for publicly scheduled SAT prep classes and other events, and have sorted them by distance below.

In addition to those above listings, there are other companies that provide both private tutoring and SAT group classes. You can review the full list below.
Please note that Preply does not endorse the services of any of these companies, nor have we tested the validity of their claims. We encourage all customers to practice due diligence when contracting a company to make sure that they are investing their money wisely.
Obviously, the market is rather competitive in Waterbury with leading companies TestMasters, College Planning Partnerships, SOUTH WINDSOR HIGH SCHOOL for SAT preparationaration. We recommend that you exercise caution when hiring these companies. While some have a great track record, some may not be worth the money you spend on them.
Why test preparation? The simplest explanation is college admissions.
In Waterbury alone, there are 7 institutions that can offer you a great higher education. For example, Naugatuck Valley Community College,University of Southern California are all excellent schools in the immediate vicinity Waterbury. However, most of these schools require an admissions test to allow admissions officers to compare applicants.
Waterbury students seeking a quality preparationaration for the SAT can quickly gain the competitive edge over other their peers applying to colleges. A good SAT or ACT score doesn't just fortify a college application, but it can qualify you for thousands of dollars worth of scholarships. Former students of Preply have graduated from universities around the US including NYU, CalTech, UC Berkeley, University of Washington, Stanford, Columbia, and Yale.
Preply seeks to provide quality tutoring to students at a reasonable price. We contract only the best tutors from all over the US to provide tutoring services to students in need of extra assistance. We screen our tutors to make sure they are knowledgeable and great teachers. Location is no longer a barrier when it comes to accessing quality tutoring. We have had students from all over the world use Preply tutors to help them prepare for their next exam.
Dmytro Voloshyn has been a test prep coach for over a decade. He specializes in helping international students prepare for private school exams and his students now attend some of the most prestigious schools in the US.

As I'm recognized by dozens of people daily as "that wordsmith from cghm.org" (some use my official title, "the Great Pontificator"), I'm often asked if I believe we're living in the Biblical end times. To slightly modify the words of Reverend Lovejoy, "[long] answer 'yes' with an 'if,' [short] answer 'no' with a 'but…'"
The Bible states that the end times will occur with much tribulation in the world, like global war and horrific natural disasters. Events of this nature are undoubtedly occurring; the problem is that such events have been occurring for thousands of years. One could very easily have made an argument for the end of the world during the early 1940s, among plenty of other possible times (the Dark Ages, for instance). Though the pace of these events appears to the current perceiver to be hastening, I would only consider this period of time as the beginning of the end if Iran nukes Israel or the conflict between Christians and Muslims escalates quickly and unabatedly (and the latter does not appear possible, thankfully).
So my answer is "no," but that's not to say it's not possible. It is said that no man knows the hour of Christ's return (Matthew 24:36), and for that reason all the current predictors of Armageddon seem only to be delaying it further.

The Facts About Fats: Good vs BadAre you confused about whether fats, in any form, should form part of a healthy diet? Don't worry, you are not alone! You're probably so used to reading and hearing that fat is the enemy, that you may be surprised to learn that actually we all do need some fat in our diet. However, it can be very confusing, for example:
- what exactly are good fats vs bad fats?
- how much fat we should eat as part of a normal healthy diet or if we want to lose weight?
- which types of fats should we avoid at all costs and which fats should we eat more of?
- what about avoiding dietary cholesterol too?
Why We All Need Some Fat in Our diet:
- to help provide energy, healthy brain function & cell growth
- as a source of some essential fats that our bodies cannot make
- to help our bodies absorb and use fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K).
Monounsaturated Fats (MUFAs):
These are also mostly liquid at room temperature and made from vegetable sources.
Foods rich in mono unsaturated fats include:
- Nuts, flaxseed
- Olive Oil, Rapeseed Oil, Canola oil and spreads based on these
- Avocado
Polyunsaturated Fats (PUFAs):
In pure form, these are usually liquid at room temperature and are made from vegetable sources. They can also be found abundantly in certain types of fish. Foods which are a rich source of polyunsaturated fats include:
- Oily fish such as mackerel, salmon, trout, pilchards, sardines, herring, anchovies, which are rich Omega-3 fatty acids
- Corn, safflower and sunflower oils & spreads
- Sunflower and other edible seeds
Saturated Fats:
These are usually solid at room temperature and often from animal sources. Foods high in saturated fats include:
- Fatty meat and meat products (Burgers, sausages, salami)
- Dairy fats (full cream milk, cheese, full fat yogurt, full fat crème fresh and cream)
- Butter, block margarine, ghee, lard
- Palm and coconut oils
- Processed foods and baked goods made from the above (pies, pasties, cakes, biscuits, pastries, puddings, Indian sweets, pies, and pasties)
Trans Fats (Partially Hydrogenated):
Whilst trans fats can occur naturally in some diary and meat whole foods in very small quantities, they are more usually formed during food processing when hydrogen is added to vegetable oil (a process called hydrogenation) to make it more solid. This is why they may be described as partially hydrogenated fats on food labels. Foods high in trans fats include:
- Takeaway and fast food
- Deep fried foods
- Processed snacks, cakes and desserts such as microwave popcorn, fried crisps and chips, crackers, biscuits, cookies, cakes, pastries, pizza, pies and other baked goods
- Coffee creamer
- Some hard vegetable shortenings and stick margarines
What About Cholesterol?
There is an enduring but mistaken myth that dietary cholesterol is one of the causes of raised bad (LDL) blood cholesterol. In the UK, government guidelines do not advocate any restriction on dietary cholesterol unless you are managing the inherited cholesterol condition, familial hypercholesterolaemia (discover more about FH at HEARTUK – the Cholesterol charity here). Previously, the USA had advised that everyone should keep dietary cholesterol to less than 300mg per day. However, as there is no clear scientific link between the cholesterol people eat and blood cholesterol levels, in Feb 2015 this advice was rescinded (link health.gov/dietaryguidelines/2015-scientific-report) with focus now on reducing saturated fats and trans fats instead, which are to blame for high cholesterol.
See Tip 4 - Eat Eggs & Shrimps (& more) below for foods that you can enjoy that you may have mistakenly believed you shouldn't! You can also discover more about fabulous foods that can help lower cholesterol here.
Managing Your Total Fat & Lowering Your Saturated Fat Intake
Research has shown that reducing saturated fat intake can bring about a reduction in harmful LDL-cholesterol. A healthy fat intake is based on your energy needs and activity levels. An average man requires around 2,500 calories (kcals) per day and average woman 2,000 calories (kcals) per day. No more than 30% of these calories should come from fat. For most men that means not more than 95g of fat per day and for women no more than 70g fat. Please note, calorie needs may be more or less, depending on your weight and personal activity level.
Guidance in the UK & USA recommends lowering saturated fat intake to less than 10% of energy intake. If you need to lose weight, you may need to reduce your fat intake further, since all sources of fat are a concentrated source of calories (1g of fat equates to around 9 kcals).
If you are on a reduced-calorie diet for weight-loss, your recommended fat intake will adjust down in proportion to the reduced calorie intake. The table below details the amounts suggested for either a 1500kcal or 1200kcal daily intake, which is often the recommended calorie in-take for a weight-loss diet.
4 Top Tips on Eating Fats as Part of a Healthy Diet
- Read Labels! Be aware that trans-fats/partially hydrogenated fats can crop up in the most unexpected places. Watch out for them in processed foods such as shop-bought baked goods including cakes, biscuits, cookies & bars, peanut butter and fried foods. It used to be that baking fats, margarine and spreads contained partially hydrogenated fats but in response to health concerns, most manufacturers no longer include them, however always check the label!
- Eat a Mediterranean Diet! The Mediterranean Diet is not a low fat diet per se, but the fat you do eat comes mainly from plants and cold-water fish rather than from saturated sources like high-fat dairy products, fatty meats or processed foods. You can find much more information on the delicious whole foods in the Mediterranean Diet here and below.
- Eat Low-Fat Not No-Fat! Our bodies need some fat in order absorb and use fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) found naturally in some foods. So enjoy some delicious healthy unsaturated fats alongside naturally nutritious, whole foods. Sprinkle nuts or seeds over salads, use olive, rapeseed (canola) and sunflower oils, choose unsalted, natural nut butters and low-fat (not fat-free) milk and cheeses.
- Eat Eggs & Shrimps (& more)! Unless following specific medical advice, don't worry about, or avoid, foods that are high in dietary cholesterol as long as they are also low in saturated fat. There are many such foods to enjoy such as whole eggs (yolks and/or whites) and seafood including shrimp, prawns, crab, lobster & squid. Lean offal meat is such as liver & kidney is also good, although limit liver or liver pâté to a once a week treat in order to avoid consuming too much Vitamin A (and avoid if pregnant or planning a pregnancy).
Help in Following the Mediterranean DietSometime it can be hard to translate the good intentions to follow a Mediterranean-style Diet into everyday eating and meals the whole family will enjoy.

HP Special and Custom Order Frequently Asked Questions?
(Link to Order Form: HP Configuration Worksheet)
Is the HP Special just a Wolfgang with a new name?
No. The Peavey designers didn't want the HP to be a Wolfgang because they didn't want to upset Wolfgang owners and they wanted to build something that was the next step forward (up). However, the HP should appeal to anyone who loves the Wolfgang because it has the same tone and quality with even more options. I have also confirmed it will have the same neck. That is huge! The pictures below are from the NAMM show in January other than the two on the right, which is the very first order that is currently in process for me. They did the custom color for me and the picture was sent to see if I liked it. I love it! Click on the thumbnail image for the larger picture.
Why is it called an HP Special rather than its own name like the original "Carina" name that was announced?
I think that it was probably easier for Peavey not to fight with EVH on a new guitar. EVH owns the Wolfgang brand and design and Peavey and EVH agreed at some point that Peavey wouldn't build a clone of the Wolfgang like Ernie Ball did with the Axis and the EVH Music Man. By taking an existing line it was easier to get it launched quickly. The name "Special" is confusing because in the Wolfgang line the "Special" meant the flat top version. That is not the case with the HP Special. The HP Special represents both the archtop and the flat top. The archtop is called the HP Special "CT". CT stands for "Carved Top". In case you didn't get it HP stands for Hartley Peavey.
Is the HP quality likely to be lower than the Wolfgang?
It is there intent to make it even better and I can't see why there would be any change in quality anyway. It is being built by the exact same people, in the exact same facility with the exact same machines and tools. My expectation is that it will be every bit as good unless they make decisions to use lesser materials or build procedures, which so far is not at all the case. The HP Special is Peavey's premier guitar now. It is intended to be the best of what they can build. Although they are not saying this, I sense they want to "one-up" the Wolfgang, which is good for us as consumers. This should be the ultimate USA Custom Shop guitar at a great price.
Will they build me a guitar the way I want it?
For the most part the answer is "Yes". A lot of things that will likely eventually be available, will not be available in the first 6 to 12 months as they need to get the guitar launched and they won't be ready to do some of the options in the beginning. If you have never ordered a guitar from the Peavey Custom Shop and you love guitars, this is something you will love. To think about what you want and then have them build a guitar just for you, with your options is very cool. It is a different experience than just buying a new guitar from a store or on-line and of course you are getting a work of art. This is a personal experience and you will appreciate the guitar even more. In my opinion the Peavey HP Special was a way to continue the Custom Shop and to keep a prestige guitar in the Peavey line up. For the guitar player that wants the ultimate rock guitar they needed something when the Wolfgang went away and they wanted to keep the Custom Shop going. This was the way to do it. They will build the guitar in 10 stock colors and in 2 base models (flat top and archtop). This is just like the Wolfgang line. And of course there will the Custom Shop versions. You can get "most" everything you could get in a Peavey Wolfgang Custom Shop model and more, although a lot of options won't be available in the first year. So think Wolfgang Custom Shop options and then go from there.
What are the main differences between this guitar and a Wolfgang?
1) The trem is floating but there is a lock down bracket that is on the guitar so you can have it go just one way like the Wolfgang. The trem is the same one on the Wolfgang. 2) The pick-ups are pretty much the same but designed to be split for a single coil sound. The HP Special comes with a coil tap switch for this purpose. Another add without taking anything away. The pick-ups are said to be slightly hotter but most people probably won't notice the difference. Their appearance is exactly the same. Multiple pick-up configurations are also something that may be offered on a Custom order eventually, but not the first year. 3) The body has a contour cut into it for better playing comfort. 4) The horns are slightly pointier and the headstock is just a little different. The selector switch has been moved to the lower part of the guitar as the top horn won't support a switch (not enough room). 5) The Archtop has the knobs recessed into the body a little. The knobs are also different but that is certainly something you can change yourself easily if you like something different like the strat style knobs that were on the Wolfgang. 6) The neck profile was slightly different on the prototypes but I have been told they will make the neck the same as the Wolfgang and that those were not representative of what we will see. They were just trying that at NAMM to see what people thought. By popular demand they are going with the Wolfgang neck. 7) The headstock is matching (nice touch!). This use to cost extra on the Wolfgang Custom Shop models.
What are the differences in materials used?
There are none. It has the same basswood body standard. It is all the same hardware. The binding is different. A natural wood "binding" comes standard and there is an upcharge for a cream or black tape binding. They really don't want to do these so the price is kind of high. The Wolfgang archtop had a unique poured binding, which they are not doing anymore as they said the process resulted in too many wrecked tops. Stainless frets are available at no extra charge.
What won't I get on the HP Special that I got on a Wolfgang?
EVH's name on the headstock. While cool to have for many it does make the guitar more expensive for obvious reasons and it doesn't make it a better guitar. You won't be able to get any of the custom fretboard inlays available on the Wolfgang, but you can do other things. The trem will only float but it can be locked down to only go flat.
What options can I get on the HP Special?
If you want to order a guitar use the below list as a guide. Here are the things to think about when ordering a Peavey HP Custom Special: (Link to Order Form with prices: HP Configuration Worksheet)
Note: You may eventually be able to get different pick-up configurations as well but not for about six months to a year at least. The standard will be two humbuckers. A D-tuna is not currently an option. Strap locks are a $100 list option. A left handed guitar is $600 extra but it will take six months as these bodies have to be hand made.
I can help you to configure a guitar that is right for you. I have had a lot of experience trying a lot of different things and I can tell you what I think will work and what won't for what you are going for with your Custom Shop guitar or at least what it is likely to be the best. In fact, I doubt there is anyone who has spent as much time actually trying out all these different options in a finished Wolfgang product other than the people in the Custom shop.
Do you have a music Store?
No, I am a collector of Wolfgang guitars that got a little carried away and recently turned it into a side business for fun. I don't do this for the money (luckily). My side business is called "Rock and Roll Weekend". I will have a website called www.RockNRollWeekend.com that will be up shortly where I will do all business from. By day I am the CEO of a software company, which is more than a full time job. Our company makes the software I will use to run the back end of this business and new, integrated Rock N Roll Weekend web store. The website address for my company is www.camcommerce.com. I started this company in 1983 when I was 24 so I have been at it awhile. My guitar activities have nothing to do with this company but it might help you feel more comfortable that you are dealing with a reliable and stable individual that you know where to find if you felt you needed to.
How do I contact you by phone?
Before publishing my phone number on the site I am trying to see how much work this is going to be first. If you are serious about ordering a guitar and want to speak to me, if you give me your phone number I can call you. I can then give you a number you can reach me at. I realize people ordering guitars like this are spending a lot of money and that the personal contact is important. I just don't want to publish the number on my site and be getting more activity of all kinds that overwhelms me. Also, I live on e-mail for my job and I am very good about responding as I don't like to get behind. E-mail is the best way to reach me at any time. I am constantly checking and responding to e-mail.
What are the price and terms on an HP Special Custom Shop Order?
If you order a guitar, I require a non-refundable $400 deposit, with the balance due when the guitar is shipped to you. Of course if for some reason I can't get the guitar I would refund your deposit. I can take payment by check or wire transfer. I can also take credit cards and payments through Paypal but I would need to charge 2.9% to cover their fee as I am working on very thin margins. As for the price please e-mail me about that. I provide a straight discount from the list price of whatever you order. On a final payment I would need to hold any personal checks until they clear.
Where will you ship to?
I will ship most anywhere. I have had good luck so far shipping guitars all over the world. I do require a bank wire transfer on any International payments / shipments.
Will the HP Special's be a reasonable investment?
I don't like to lose money on guitars I buy. If I can own it and enjoy it and not have it go down in value I am happy. If it goes up in value that is just gravy. Having said that you never know, but I do think at the prices I am offering that you won't lose money on this guitar as long as you don't order something goofy or beat it up. They just can't make that many Custom Shop guitars so if the guitar is a success in the market then you will have an early serial number of a guitar that will be hard to get and that people will have to wait in line for. If it is not successful in the market and it is discontinued you will have a rare guitar. I think we can be sure the guitar will be awesome. That is totally separate (unfortunately) as to whether it succeeds in the market. It certainly helps! My sincere advice is if you liked the Wolfgang to order one of these early.

Voters who are paying attention look at the raft of new gun and ammunition restrictions under Proposition 63 and wonder: Wait, didn't the state Legislature just pass a slew of new gun-control bills?
The answer is yes. They make Proposition 63 largely redundant.
And just like the bills that passed in July, Proposition 63 is a governmental overreach that puts unnecessary restrictions on law-abiding hunters and target shooters. It treats them all like criminals, creates new fees for hunters, adds millions in costs to the state and continues to put lawful gun ownership in the crosshairs by making it expensive and inconvenient.
We urge a no vote on Proposition 63.
One big reason is, it's already been covered. The Legislature, in an anti-gun frenzy in June after a mass shooting in Orlando, Florida, sent 11 bills to Gov. Jerry Brown. The governor vetoed five of those bills but signed six others. Brown vetoed the worst of the worst, but the other six still ensnared millions of lawful gun owners in California, telling them that they would have to pay for a background check to buy ammunition and would have to register at least one of their guns.
Proposition 63 is the brainchild of Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is also pushing Proposition 64, the marijuana legalization effort. Yep, he wants people stoned and unarmed. And he wants to be governor in two years.
Proposition 63 qualified for the ballot before the Legislature hammered out its rash of anti-gun bills. The Legislature, in a fit of pique, passed its own bills and "pre-amended" the bills to say they would be the law of the land even if Proposition 63 passed.
Proposition 63 is even more restrictive than the six approved bills, but the two focal points remain the same — background checks for buying ammo and a ban on magazines that carry 10 or more cartridges. It's hard to believe that anything could make the six anti-gun bills palatable, but Proposition 63 does that by comparison. For example, it mandates that people who want to buy a box of shells first must buy a $50 permit just for the privilege. After that, purchases are tracked in a database.
A target shooter might buy a thousand rounds of ammo to take to a (perfectly legal) shooting range for the coming weekend. Would that grab the attention of the state Department of Justice? Probably. Is it any of the state's business? No.
We don't see any problems with trying to keep guns out of the hands of felons, or sharing information about prohibited gun owners with the FBI. But Proposition 63 oversteps governmental limits as outlined in the Second Amendment and treats all gun owners like criminals.
There are already many guns laws on the books. Too many. We don't need more unnecessary, redundant laws. Vote no on Proposition 63.

GREEN BAY (WAOW)- For a guy from small town Mosinee, Wisconsin, it's no surprise that wide receiver Kole Heckendorf was pretty excited when he got the call from the Packers that he'd be coming to training camp.
Says Kole Heckendorf, "Could'nt have worked out any better, getting the opportunity to play for my hometown team, the Packers. I just started preparing and got ready."
Heckendorf set multiple receiving records at North Dakota State, and he's already turned quite a few heads at camp.
Says Quarterback Matt Flynn, "Other guys at wide receiver are a little bigger and more dominant looking than he is, but he goes out there and runs really crisp routes, he has good hands, he's one of those guys that can run search routes and just gets open. I've been really impressed with him.
Says Wide Receiver Ruvell Martin, "Seems to have a great feel for the defense, a feel for getting open, and he knows what to do and that's the biggest thing really, especially when you're coming in and you're a rookie and a young guy, because if you don't know what to do, the coaches won't trust you and they're not gonna put you in."
And it's certainly helped that he's gotten advice from an experienced receiving corps, especially from Ruvell Martin who also was a free agent.
Says Martin, "I think he's done a great job looking back where he is now, and me coming in my first year in 2004. Looking at other free agents coming in, I think he's done a great job."
Says Heckendorf, "At first I was a little bit nervous coming in, it's a big playbook but I'm learning it the best I can and the older guys and the quarterbacks are really helping me out."
Now Heckendorf cant wait to run out of that tunnel at Lambeau for the very first time on Saturday.
Says Heckendorf, "Even family night was really cool just running out but now we'll actually get another team out there. It will be really exciting, I just have to stay calm, do my assignments and just have fun out there."
Now many of Heckendorf's family members were at the family scrimmage last Saturday but of course that was canceled, so he hopes this Saturday his family will actually get to see some game action.

Recent price: 44.09$
P/E Ratio: 17.58
3 Months Target Price: 50$
Company Description
According to Reuters, Ingersoll-Rand plc is a diversified company that provides products, services and solutions to enhance the comfort of air in homes and buildings, transport and protect food and perishables, and secure homes and commercial properties. IR-Ireland operates in four business segments: Climate Solutions, Residential Solutions, Industrial Technologies and Security Technologies. It generates revenue and cash primarily through the design, manufacture, sale and service of a diverse portfolio of industrial and commercial products that include American Standard, Club Car, Hussmann, Ingersoll-Rand, LCN, Schlage, Thermo King, Von Duprin and Trane. On December 30, 2010, IR-Ireland completed the divestiture of its gas microturbine generator business, which was sold under the Energy Systems brand. On October 4, 2010, it completed the divestiture of its European refrigerated display case business, which was sold under the KOXKA brand.
Confidence Margins
Strong resistance $52.33 (+19%)
Light resistance $50.05 (+14%)
Light support $43.87 (-0%)
Strong support $39.87 (-10%)
Shares of Ingersoll-Rand have been surrendered by shareholders in the month of May following a steep fall of the markets. This diversified industrial company is still very profitable and current prices offer an opportunity to cash in on the pessimism that seems to have been the norm over the last couple of days. Patient investors will be greatly rewarded.
Entry strategy
For the cautious investor:
Buy the stock for 45$ or less.
For the risk-taking trader:
The September 2011 45$ out-of-the-money call option contract seems to be the right position to take, they can be acquired for about 220$ per contract.
Exit Strategy
For the cautious investor:
Sell when the stock reaches 50$, or keep it until 52$ if you are more bullish in your own analysis.
For the risk-taking trader:
The contracts should be kept until the underlying reaches 50$. This should provide a very interesting return if the underlying reaches the target price as the contracts will get in the money.
