Disclaimer: It's George Lucas' sand box. I'm simply borrowing time.
Title: Even in Death
Author: Jade-Max
Timeframe: Post Swarm War AU
Summary: Even death can't break some bonds... Jain returns to Zekk – but not as he expects her to be
Borrowed Time
"Get them to safety!"
"I'm not leaving without you!"
Her tone was as hard as the kiss she planted on his lips. "I'll find you, Zekk. Go! Tenel Ka's in no shape to face him and Allana mustn't fall into his hands. Not now, not yet."
"I'll come back for you."
Her smile was lightning quick, almost sad. "You won't have to." And with that she was gone.
-- Several Weeks Later --
His brow puckered, her voice sliding in and out of his barely conscious mind as he lay shivering. He moaned, feeling the pounding behind his temples increasing with the beat of his heart; the effect she'd always had on him. His hands lifted, slowly, achingly slowly, to grasp his head as he struggled to keep his breathing even. The shivers and shakes rattled his teeth, but he didn't dare clench them for fear of the blinding pain that would assault his head. A high fever mixed with lack of medical supplies had left him incapacitated for more than a day.
And now he was hearing things.
He moaned again, tightening his eyes against the insistent call. She wasn't real, she wasn't here. She was dead. Dead because he'd been unable to save her just once more. Dead because her brother had been intent on taking Allana from Tenel Ka. Dead because she'd given her life to let the Royal family get away.
It had been a noble sacrifice, but in vain. Three months later, Tenel Ka was dead, Allana was under her father's tutelage and he... well, he was sick with a fever from some Force forsaken planet where he'd tracked Jacen and Allana only to find he was days late. Jacen and Allana had left, and behind them was a nasty surprise for their pursuer.
And so, pain wracked, fever burning through his system and covered in a thin layer of cold sweat, Zekk had managed to crawl back to his ship and get them into orbit before collapsing from the pain. Delirium was swift to descend, making the walls appear as if they were closing in, and he had learned quickly to keep his eyes closed.
The consequence was a semi-aware state in which he hallucinated. At least, he thought they were hallucinations. He'd seen Peckhum as he was before the wasting disease had killed him the year before. He'd seen his parents, moments before the mud slide that had changed his life forever. He'd seen his friends, back at the academy.
And he'd seen Jaina. Jaina. His heart squeezed painfully. He'd seen her in her many manifestations. Child-like imp, challenging him to rise above his circumstances, avenging angel, rescuing him from himself on Yavin IV and friend and companion, finally lover when the residuals of the Dark Nest fiasco had fallen away. He'd cried so often in the last day he wasn't sure if he could cry anymore.
But through all of his dreams and visions, no one spoke.
Now, a day into the burning pain, he was hearing her voice.
"Go'way." He heard himself respond despite his best efforts not to. She wasn't real; she couldn't be here. He understood about Force Ghosts, but Jaina had never manifested and in the three months since her death, he'd lost hope that she would. At least, that she would be with him.
I can't go away.
"S'easy." His mumbles were barely coherent. But then, he was talking to himself so what did he care?
Not so easy, vent crawler. You're in rough shape and the ship can't fly itself.
"Kin'too." He rolled away from the voice. "She'smart"
Her familiar laughter was like a balm to his aching heart. Even though he knew, rationally, that there was no way she was there, that she was just a figment of his imagination, it was reassuring. Reassuring to know that he wasn't completely alone, even as it was disturbing to think he might finally have gone mad. Mad from the silence, mad from the fever; mad from the loneliness.
Zekk, you need to get up.
"Lemme die in peaze." Her responding chuckle was almost loud enough in his mind to be real. He cracked one eye. "S'not funny."
She stood before him, wearing the same skin-tight pants and loose shirt she'd adopted in recent years, her hair tied back in a loose, messy pony tail. It was the same thing she'd been wearing when she was killed. Her hands were on her hips as she watched him, a grin on her face, though there was a sad tilt to it. There was also a whitish-blue tint he couldn't place. "You're not going to die, Zekk."
He snorted and the pounding in his brain picked up a notch and his amusement returned to pain once more. "Feels like it."
She moved towards him, coming to sit beside his bunk. She was weightless as she sat, the sheets and mattress moving not at all, as if she weren't really there. But then, he told himself silently, she's not really here; I'm just dreaming.
She shook her head sadly. "You're not dreaming either, lover boy. I'm really here. I'm dead, remember?"
"Hard to forget." Was it just him, or was the ache in his head easing?
"I suppose it would be since you're intent on tracking down my killer. Don't kill him, Zekk."
"What?" Now he knew he was dreaming.
"Don't kill him. Jacen's no longer himself."
His headache was definitely beginning to recede; only now he was hearing crazy talk. "You tried to kill him; if it really is you."
"I went to buy Tenel Ka and Allana time." Her correction was gentle. "I told you before I went to get them to safety. I never expected to best, him, Zekk. Jacen is far stronger than I ever was."
"You went to die." The knowledge sank in with difficulty. Now he knew he was hearing crazy talk.
Her nod did nothing to reassure him. "I went to give Tenel Ka the chance to get away. To try and hide Allana from her father; to try and give Jacen the opportunity I have you. I had to try."
Was it her presence that was making his illness fade? The will to live rekindled by his realistic hallucination? He didn't know but suddenly he was extremely thirsty. He reached for her but she moved away. "Why?"
"Because he's my brother." She stopped part way across the room. "Just like when you were taken by the shadow academy. I had to try."
His throat closed. Slowly, the delirium was passing, as if something connected with her proximity was affecting his health, and he opened his eyes all the way, looking at her. Really looking at her and trying to sense her through the Force.
She spread her arms wide. "I'm here; I promise."
He nodded slowly as he was able to pick up on her signature. Faint, almost intangible, but there. She really was there. A Force Ghost. He dashed for the 'fresher, barely making it in time to be sick.
"I'm that unwelcome?"
He coughed over the bowl, closing his eyes for a moment, feeling the tremors of his fever continuing, despite having dwindled. "No." He spat before colleting the glass on the edge of his sink and pouring himself a small mouthful. He rinsed his mouth out before drawing another glass, noting how shaky he was after a day spent in deep fever. He stayed where he was on the ground, returning his gaze the her ghost where it lounged against the door frame. "You're not unwelcome. I'd just given up hope of ever having you pay me a visit."
"I've only be dead three months. It takes time to learn how to manifest a corporeal form you know."
His smile was faint. "I'll take your word for it. I'm sorry I let you down."
"You haven't." Her response was almost automatic. "I mean that, actually. Allana's last Life Day a month ago was the pivotal point. Tenel Ka's death is regrettable - even if I now have company - but Allana is the piece that can possibly sway her father."
"But I let her be taken. I couldn't stop him from killing Tenel Ka."
Jaina sighed. "Zekk, some things happen because it's time. Tenel Ka didn't fight him."
She held up her hand. "Let me finish. Tenel Ka never fought Jacen. She refused to join him and help him raise their daughter the way he wanted to. She refused, Zekk. In that refusal, she also implanted an image of herself in Allana that she'll try to emulate. Yes, Allana watched her father kill her mother, but she also heard the whole conversation. She won't want you to kill Jacen any more than I do."
"But-" He stopped, rubbing his throbbing temples. His headache was definitely receding, but he was still having trouble understanding what exactly she was saying. "Does that mean I shouldn't be chasing him?"
She chuckled. "No. You're doing exactly as you should. I'm sorry I can't be there with you."
"Me too." He bowed his head for a moment. "But you're here now."
"I can't stay." The regret in her tone was an almost physical thing. "I want to, Zekk. More than anything, but my time has come. Your path leads away from me. Allana's got to be your only concern."
"She has been."
"No." Jaina shook her head sadly, crouching in front of him. "Revenge has. I know, remember?" She tapped her temple, unnecessarily reminding him of the bond they'd shared in life. A bond they'd never really broken - until her death. "You've got to let me go."
"I don't know how."
"You'll learn. You're the only one who can best Jacen, the only Jedi strong enough." She pushed to her feet and walked away, stopping in the doorway to look back at him. It was the same, hard, but regretful look she'd had when she'd departed to fight her brother. "I'll be around if you need me, vent crawler. Just stay out of my brother's cultured bacteria farms would you? You may be match for him Force-wise, but you're no match for his hobbies."
He nodded weakly. She stated to fade from view as he watched. "Jaya?"
She stopped fading, looking at him curiously. He hadn't called her by that nickname in years.
"You found me after all."
"I promised, I would."
He took a deep breath. "I love you."
"I know. Goodbye Zekk."
She faded from view completely, her Force presence disappearing from around him, but the calming and healing effects stayed. He closed his eyes, his throat working with difficulty as he fought to keep the sting of tears behind his eyes from his face. Slowly, ever so slowly, he pulled himself together and opened his eyes again, focused on his objectives. First he had to get healthy, then he had to find Allana.
"Good bye, Jaya." His whisper was lost in the ambient noise of the ship but somehow he knew she heard him.

Keeping it going
Tom Huddlestone is hoping the adrenaline that took us through a gruelling but memorable three games last week will keep us going as the season reaches its climax.
Tom Huddlestone is hoping the adrenaline that took us through a gruelling but memorable three games last week will keep us going as the season reaches its climax.
The midfielder made his return from injury to play three games in the space of six days, starting with an FA Cup semi-final defeat at Wembley but ending with back-to-back league wins over London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea.
It leaves us two points clear of main rivals Manchester City in the race for fourth place and, with the squad down to its bare bones in recent weeks due to injuries and suspensions, Tom believes being in this position is a great achievement.
But he also knows we cannot rest on our laurels with a trip to Manchester United coming up on Saturday and four games left of the campaign.
We haven't won at Old Trafford since 1989 and their win at local rivals City last weekend, combined with our defeat of Chelsea, puts them right back in the title race.
However, Tom is hopeful the spirit shown last week will continue to help us overcome the odds once again.
He said: "Considering the injuries we've had, to play as many games as we have done in a short space of time is a credit to the lads and the quality we've got and the fitness we've shown.
"Everybody would have been tired by the Chelsea game but the adrenaline and knowing what the prize is at the end got us through it.
"But the games don't get any easier and now it's Man Utd away.
"They did us a favour last weekend by beating City but it's going to be a hard place to go to and our record up there isn't great.
"We've just got to go into it with the confidence we've shown over the last two games and hopefully we can get something out of it."

Residential Curriculum
The Residential Curriculum is the framework upon which we base all of our work in the Office of Residence Life. The Curriculum answers the question, "What do we want students to learn as a result of living in our residential communities?"
All of our staff in ORL are educators who support student learning. The Curriculum outlines what we want students to learn.
Developing and revising the Curriculum is a process that consists of:
- identifying an educational priority, broad learning outcomes and specific competencies
- identifying and implementing intentional strategies to achieve the priority, outcomes and competencies
- assessing students' achievement of the priority, outcomes and competencies
- revising the competencies and strategies to be more effective.
Foundations of the Residential Curriculum
The development and implementation of the Curriculum is guided by many philosophical foundations. These theories, goals, values, mission and philosophy statements form the backbone of the Curriculum. The foundations include but are not limited to:
- Miami University Strategic Goals
- The Goals of the Miami Plan for Liberal Education
- Learning Partnership Model
- Student Development Theory
- Office of Residence Life Mission
- Office of Residence Life Departmental Values
- Living Learning Community Mission
- Appreciative Advising Philosophy
- Professional Standards and Ethics statements from professional organizations
- University Mission Statement ("The Engaged University")
No one of the above is dominant over the other. Some are more applicable based on the specific competency and strategy.
Educational Priority, Goals and Learning Outcomes
In developing the Residential Curriculum a wide array of staff in the Office of Residence Life, answered the question, "What do we want students to learn as a result of living in our residential communities?" Over the course of several years, the responses to that question was narrowed and refined. From those discussions, we derived an overall educational priority, four broad goals and specific learning outcomes.
Educational Priority
Our educational priority is to enable residents to become citizen leaders and students as engaged scholars within their community.
During the process described above, a long list of things we want student to learn was generated. Each of those items fit well into one of four broad categories, which we have labeled our learning outcomes:
- academic success
- cultural competency
- effective community engagement
- intrapersonal development.
Learning Outcomes
Once connected to a goal, each item we want our students to learn was further refined into learning outcomes using the following guidelines. Learning outcomes should be:
- Specific
- Measurable: can we determine if students have achieved the learning outcome?
- Results from intentional strategies implemented by our staff: we recognize that students will grow in some ways regardless of what we do.
- Student development theory teaches us that students are at various stages of development which affects their learning and future development. For example a one must first identify one's beliefs and values before one can refine them, after which one can integrate them
- All of the learning outcomes are outlined on the first page of the Residential Curriculum.
To account for the development of residents between years, we assigned each learning outcome to one of three tiers. Generally speaking, we believe that traditionally-aged, first-year students moving into our residence halls for the first time will be at the Moving In tier of their development. Generally, students should exhibit the learning outcomes of the Moving Through tier by the end of the second year of college. Finally, students in their third, fourth, and fifth years should exhibit the learning outcomes outlined in the Moving On or Advanced tier of the Residential Curriculum.
We implement the Residential Curriculum using what we call strategies. Almost everything we do in the Office of Residence Life is a strategy.
There are many kinds, types, categories of strategies:
- One on one / conversation (proactive or reactive, formal or informal, always natural)
- Program/workshop/event/activity (corridor or community-wide, planned, one-time or series)
- Community/corridor meeting
- Passive program (bulletin board, newsletter, e-mail)
- Community council
- Academic advising
- University/community event (with intentional reflection)
- Community standards/agreements
- Spontaneous initiative
- Social events/simple recreational programs
Following is a guideline for how staff identify and use a strategy:
- Identify a need of your students
- Connect that need with a learning outcome in the Residential Curriculum
- Develop a strategy to achieve that learning outcome using a lesson plan
- Evaluate the strategy using the on-line strategy evaluation
- Assess when possible if you were effective in achieving the learning outcome
Departmental Strategies
Most strategies will be developed by advisers and RAs. In some cases, all staff will use common strategies referred to as departmental strategies. Some departmental strategies are for particular types of communities where appropriate. The lesson plan for many of the departmental strategies has already been written for staff.
RA and Resident One-on-One Conversations
All Resident Assistants will meet one on one with each of their residents four times a year. These one-on-one conversations are meant to build strong rapport with residents while helping residents access resources in an intentional way. A lesson plan has been developed to provide some direction for each of the discussions.
Corridor/Community Meetings
Resident Assistants use Corridor/Community Meetings to build community, assess and meet community needs, plan community events and disseminate information. Following is a set of Lesson Plans for each meeting every RA should conduct.
Community Agreements (FY & Mixed)/Community Standards (Upper class)
The Community Standards/Agreement process is meant to empower residents to make decisions about policies, behavior, and use of space/common property within a corridor or apartment community. Resident Assistants will facilitate these conversations. In the first year communities, they may end up leading these discussions. In the mixed and upper class communities, we encourage RAs to seek out residents to lead these conversations, while the RA might step in to ask additional reflective questions or help keep the group on task. RAs will hand out Community Agreement Guides and Community Standards Guides to help residents to reflect and prepare prior to coming to the meeting. These documents are printed centrally by the Office of Residence Life. You will receive your corridor/communities copies from your supervisor. Resident Assistants should direct questions to their supervisor.
Bulletin Boards
Resident Assistants must post a new bulletin board every month including August. Following are guidelines and suggestions for posting bulletin boards:
- The bulletin board in August should be a welcome and introduction to your community
- The bulletin board in April should clearly outline hall closing procedures
- Bulletin boards must intentionally address one or more learning outcome from the Residential Curriculum
- Celebrating your students' successes and achievements is encouraged for at least one of your bulletin boards
- RAs may use pre-made bulleting boards from the Center (210 Warfield), from other offices across campus or from the internet
- Bulletin boards should be creative and interesting
- RAs will list the topic of each new bulletin board in their weekly report (if a new one was created that week)
Roommate Agreements
Resident Assistants will be distributing and discussing Roommate Agreements with all residents. Our goal is to collect 100% of these worksheets from each room/suite/apartment. Resident Assistants should revisit the Roommate Agreements in the middle of the first semester. If a roommate conflict emerges the Roommate Agreement should be used and, if necessary, revised.
Leadership Teams
All communities, including the Commuter Center, will have Community Leadership Teams to engage student leaders in various learning outcomes within the Residential Curriculum. Resident Assistants will assist Professional Staff in recruiting students to participate in this departmental strategy. Community Leadership Teams are charged with three areas: 1) social and community building initiatives, 2) programming related to the Living Learning Community goals, and 3) advocacy for student and university issues and needs.
Diversity & Social Justice Programs
All communities, including the Commuter Center, will plan and implement Social Justice programs designed to educate residents on issues of multiculturalism, power, privilege, and difference. These active programs will be designed to meet several of the learning outcomes and better enact the Cultural Competency Goal.
Living Learning Community Kick-Offs
Living Learning Communities are central to the residential education experience at Miami University. All Living Learning Communities will create and implement a LLC Kick-off event that introduces residents to the goals for each particular LLC. Resident Assistants should consult with their Professional Staff for the logistics and details of this LLC Kick-off event as well as their role in planning and implementing it.
Fire Safety Fair & Online Module
First Year students are required to complete the online Fire Safety Training and attend the Fire Safety Fair, which includes "The Great Escape" activity. RAs in first year and mixed residence halls will assist in the marketing and implementation of the Fire Safety Fair in their area.
Conversations with Documented Students
Professional staff will conduct follow-up conversations with every student in their community who is documented. The nature of the conversation is to express care for the student and the community, share information if necessary, and where appropriate, make a follow-up plan with the student. In many cases, these conversations will be an opportunity for professional staff to help students "understand how one's actions and decisions affect the community" among other learning outcomes in the Curriculum.
First-Year and Mixed Hall Strategies Only
There are a few strategies that are only used with our first-year student population. These include: participation in Convocation, participation in Summer Reading Book Discussions, and participation in academic advising. Resident Assistants will be trained on Welcome Week initiatives during August RA Training.
How can we tell if our students are achieving the goals of the curriculum?
Assessment of learning outcomes can occur at the macro level (institutional research, national surveys, etc) or at the micro level (assessment of individual resident or corridor). Possible means of assessment include:
- Pre-test /post-test
- Survey
- Observed, obvious changed behavior
- Follow-up discussion
- None (some outcomes can't be easily measured or will not reveal themselves until later)
- Analysis of the MU Assessment of Living and Learning Survey results.

iTunes might be free for the Mac & PC, but it is not free for anyone to financially benefit from as a feature of their product. So when Palm released the Pre, everyone was surprised that it synchronised with users iTune libraries. Yes, Palm had taken a somewhat risky move in my opinion. They had done nothing less than hacking into Apple's software, to find out how to make the Pre appear as an iPod (or iPhone). Instead of Apple setting the lawyers loose, they simply released iTunes 8.2.1 to fix the so-called problem.
Well, Palm are either stupid or ummm stupid, as they have now released webOS 1.1.0 for the Pre. Their release notes cite in black and white that the new version "Resolves an issue preventing media sync from working with latest version of iTunes (8.2.1)."
They may well be spelling this out to gain publicity from writers like myself. So, to a certain extent, they are getting some free publicity. However, let me put you right, if you are reading this as a Pre owner (or someone who is considering this product). For a company to release a mobile phone, capable of playing back music and video files, to hack into another company's software is very underhand... and that stupid word comes up again. How lazy, they have the manpower to do their own software. From a buyers point of view, how annoyed will the dozen or so Pre owners be, when they have relied on iTunes from day one, only to find that it no longer works (and believe me, Apple will make sure that it stops working).
Apple is being very kind about the situation. They are well within their rights to slap Palm for this and if it went to court, the conclusion is pretty obvious. Maybe Palm are already admitting defeat, clocking up as many Pre sales to pay the big legal bill that they will likely face. In my opinion Apple deserves recompense for every version of iTunes that has been used to sync a Pre... that would be sweet justice for Apple, but if it is on a per-Pre-sale basis it might not equate to much.

From the archives: Rudolph Valentino still attracts
July 14, 2012
Rudolph Valentino was one of the biggest celebrities of the Jazz Age. His films, like The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse and The Sheik, were not only blockbusters – they helped change the culture. Valentino was an immensely popular actor, as well as an even more popular sex symbol. His sudden death at age 31 in 1926 made news around the world.
Believe it or not, an estimated 100,000 people lined the streets of New York City to pay their respects at his funeral. There was hysteria among female fans. Suicides spurred by grief were reported in Europe. New York mourners rioted. And Hollywood studios briefly shut down.
It's not surprising then that more than 80 years after his death, Valentino still attracts new fans to his films and larger-than-life personality. One of those fans is San Francisco resident Donna Hill.
May is set to be an eclectic and even electric month at the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum in Fremont. In addition to three more installments of the famous serial, The Perils of Pauline, the venerable East Bay silent film museum is set to screen one of the big hits of the era, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, starring legendary Rudolph Valentino, as well as Laughing at Danger, an early thriller with plenty of pulp fiction trappings. And that's not all.

The perfect thriller is a difficult beast – a complex mix of pacing, plotting, and tension all doing a high-wire act to keep readers on the edge of their seats and glued to the page. The thriller is also one of the literary world's broader genres ranging from intricacies of espionage to the supernatural, tension-filled courtrooms to haunted houses, howcatchems and whodunits to grisly murders. The one thing all of these tales have in common? An unparalleled ability to draw readers in for that can't-put-it-down reading experience. Looking back over the last 100 or so years, we've pulled together our list of sixteen of the most essential thrillers. Find a comfy spot and settle in; once you start one of these great reads, odds are you won't be able to step away until you hit that final page.
The Haunting of Hill House
(Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)
Shirley Jackson; Introduction by Laura Miller
Shirley Jackson is perhaps best known for her short story The Lottery, which created a landmark moment in American short fiction. Her novel The Haunting of Hill House, however, may be the pinnacle of Gothic fiction – particularly of the haunted house variety – in the twentieth century. Relying on a creeping sense of dread and terror, Jackson's tale of a group investigating a famously haunted mansion is a tour-de-force thriller.
The Maltese Falcon
Dashiell Hammett
Dashiell Hammett is the king of hardboiled detective fiction; he created four of the genre's most enduring characters: Sam Spade, Nick and Nora Charles, and the Continental Op. His works are complex, haunting, and unforgivingly bleak. The Maltese Falcon features Sam Spade – the world-weariest of world-weary private eyes – a host of shady characters, and of course a woman as treacherous as she is beautiful. It doesn't get much more hard-boiled than this.
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
Agatha Christie
Arguably Agatha Christie's finest work, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is, in many ways, the novel that made Christie a perennial bestseller and was one of the author's personal favorites. Originally published in 1926, it follows a now retired Hercule Poirot investigating a bizarre murder in the village of King's Abbot. It is a landmark in the mystery genre and the vanguard of the modern mystery novel.
A Time to Kill
A Novel
John Grisham
If you're looking for a powerful, gut-wrenching courtroom thriller, John Grisham is the place to start. Grisham is an incomparable storyteller who knows his way around a jury; he has a law degree from the University of Mississippi School of Law and was a practicing attorney for a decade. A Time to Kill is among his best novels and centers on the defense of a black man seeking vengeance for a vicious attack on his ten-year-old daughter.
Robert Bloch
Best known for the cinematic adaptation of the same name, Robert Bloch's Psycho is every bit as compelling as the film it spawned. Inspired in part by the real-life murders committed by Ed Gein, Bloch's novel centers on the Bates Motel and its unsettling proprietor, Norman Bates. Whether you're a fan of the Hitchcock classic or top-notch thriller/mysteries in general, Psycho is an essential read.
Gone Girl
A Novel
Gillian Flynn
Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl is a near-perfect thriller. From its ingenious, twisty plot to its unreliable narration and its examination of a marriage coming apart at the seams, everything about Gone Girl just simply works. Flynn's story of Amy and Nick Dunne leaves readers with hugely disturbing what-if questions about trust, motivation, and relationships. The 2012 novel is a mercurial, complex, and, above all else, thrilling read that is nearly impossible to put down.
The Silence of the Lambs
Thomas Harris
Thomas Harris created one of the most indelible villains of the twentieth century in Hannibal Lecter, although some argue that it was Anthony Hopkins's brilliant performance in the Oscar-winning adaptation that really cemented the villain's place in thriller history. Though the movie was indeed outstanding, we're siding with the source material on this one, as Harris's development of the sociopathic doctor is like nothing we've read before or since.
In the Woods
A Novel
Tana French
With her dense plotting and bleak, atmospheric style, Tana French has quickly established herself as one of the finest mystery writers working today. In the Woods centers on Rob Ryan, a detective for Dublin's Murder Squad, who begins an investigation into a murder startlingly similar to a horrific event from Ryan's own past. In the Woods is a tense, edge-of-your-seat thriller and a perfect introduction to French's work.
And Then There Were None
Agatha Christie
It's impossible to escape the reach and influence of Agatha Christie in the mystery genre. Her prodigious catalog of mysteries remains the gold standard in the genre. And Then There Were None is the queen of mystery's masterstroke, following a group of individuals, each of whom is complicit in murder, gathered on an island and killed off one by one. There are many reasons Christie is the best-selling author of all-time; And Then There Were None is one of them.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Stieg Larsson
Nordic Noir didn't begin or end with the late Stieg Larsson, but there is arguably no other author whose books did more to popularize the subgenre. If you somehow missed the brutal, harrowing, and twisting tale of Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist, there is no better time to dig in to one of the finest and most complex thrillers of the last hundred years.
The Hunt for Red October
Tom Clancy
Tom Clancy is the brain behind a treasure trove of extraordinarily detailed and compulsively readable espionage thrillers. It was The Hunt for Red October that launched his extraordinary career. In terms of espionage thrillers, you'd be hard-pressed to find a novel more convincing in its details. It has long been rumored that the startling accuracy of his novels earned the attention of both the White House and the Pentagon. If you're looking to dig in to Clancy's world, The Hunt for Red October is the perfect jumping-off point.
The Shining
Stephen King
Stephen King is one of the most celebrated authors of his generation. Beyond his stunning prolificacy, the author has long had his finger on what readers of horror thrillers want. See: His endless list of bestsellers as proof. King is definitely a master of horror, but if you're looking for creeping dread and slowly mounting suspense, The Shining is the place to start. The chronicle of Jack Torrance's descent into madness during one cold winter with his family at the infamous Overlook Hotel is one of King's finest – and tightest – works.
Daphne Du Maurier
In terms of psychological thrillers, Rebecca is second to none. Though the novel served as the basis for one of Alfred Hitchcock's finest films – the 1940 adaptation won Hitchcock his only Best Picture Oscar – it is an enthralling gothic mystery all its own. The story centers on the second young bride of Maxim de Winter, who finds herself feeling increasingly fearful and isolated in the stone mansion on the Cornish coast – a mansion that still holds the dark shadow of Maxim's first wife, Rebecca.
The Snowman
Jo Nesbo
Nordic Noir has become known for its bleak themes, explorations of tragic and tortured protagonists, and its particularly brutal crimes. Jo Nesbo sits near the top of a crowded class of writers in the genre and his beleaguered inspector Harry Hole is one of the genre's best characters. The Snowman is quite possibly Nesbo's best Hole novel thus far – or at least marks the point where he really hits his stride, and also serves as a great entry point into the world of Harry Hole. It's a twisting narrative full of red herrings, as unnerving as it is thrilling.
The Spy Who Came in from the Cold
A George Smiley Novel
John le Carré
John le Carre is unquestionably the biggest and most influential name in Cold War-era spy thrillers. With an unmatched air of authenticity – le Carre worked for both the British Security Service (MI-5) and the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI-6) – his novels eschew the traditional action of the espionage genre and focus on methodical, unassuming men fully aware of the moral ambiguities in which they operate. The Spy Who Came in from the Cold centers on Alec Leamas, a British agent tasked with infiltrating East German Intelligence. The book features the complexities that make le Carre's works so powerful.
Mystic River
Dennis Lehane
Dennis Lehane's gritty, working-class thrillers are something of a redefinition of the hardboiled detective genre. His works are emotionally complex and often brutal in their depictions of a pitiless world of consequence and cruel outcomes. Mystic River follows three childhood friends forever marked by a terrible tragedy and inexorably drawn together as adults by horrifying circumstance. It is an exploration of the darkest corners of loyalty and friendship.

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Sensors in New Road Vehicles)
AbstractWith the development of the vehicle industry, controlling stability has become more and more important. Techniques of evaluating vehicle stability are in high demand. As a common method, usually GPS sensors and INS sensors are applied to measure vehicle stability parameters by fusing data from the two system sensors. Although prior model parameters should be recognized in a Kalman filter, it is usually used to fuse data from multi-sensors. In this paper, a robust, intelligent and precise method to the measurement of vehicle stability is proposed. First, a fuzzy interpolation method is proposed, along with a four-wheel vehicle dynamic model. Second, a two-stage Kalman filter, which fuses the data from GPS and INS, is established. Next, this approach is applied to a case study vehicle to measure yaw rate and sideslip angle. The results show the advantages of the approach. Finally, a simulation and real experiment is made to verify the advantages of this approach. The experimental results showed the merits of this method for measuring vehicle stability, and the approach can meet the design requirements of a vehicle stability controller. View Full-Text

Cultural Meaning
The meaning humans give to actions, concepts and behaviours is dependent on the cultural milieu and is conditioned to a great extent by the underlying meaning systems, values and frames of meaning he/she inherites from the society in general. Socialization plays a direct role in that process. Education, effects of peers and the intellectual atmosphere all contribute to what is called cultural meaning or systems of meaning. Cultural meaning conditions our perception and determines the way we process external perceptions. In this sense, what Gregory Bateson calls "an ecology of mind" is at work here. The mind acts in an ecology of preceding concepts, comments and semantic networks operating in a particular field and in society as well. Through these networks meaning is produced within a particular person, system, or culture. This meaning then frames and motivates the actions of individuals and groups. "Events are not just there and happen, but they have a meaning and happen because of that meaning," wrote Clifford Geertz.
Meaning is also historically formed. For example; body image varies across cultures and is shaped by the specific meaning given to it by a culture. There is a time dimension involved in this same process, too. Western societies tend to value slim and fit bodies in terms of representation in popular culture. Whereas, body images of other cultures are very different in most cases. Some Pacific island people prefer fatness both as a sign of wealth and of esthetic superiority. But with the advent of globalization and the expansion of western cultural codes through TV and other media, these same people have come to question their body images. Western culture's meaning system expanded its sphere of influence in that case. In fact, a mild fatness was accepted as a desirable physical trait in western history, too.
Much of what is classified under popular culture is subject to meaning systems and the accompanying perceptions about them. A society's selective perceptions and evaluations favor a certain behavior, a mode of thought and even such ephemeral things as fashion fads.
Famous anthropologist Clifford Geertz suggests that an analysis of culture must also cope with the category of meaning. "The culture concept to which I adhere . . . denotes an historically transmitted pattern of meanings embodied in symbols, a system of inherited concepts expressed in symbolic forms by means of which men communicate, perpetuate, and develop their knowledge about and attitudes toward life." As is understod from this definition, meaning is an inseparable component of culture and it directly shapes our perceptions and understanding. Alternative meaning systems combine to give a culture its core values.
As a cultural phenomenon, gift giving may be evaluated from that pespective looking at different cultures and their subjective meaning systems attributed to this practice. As can be deduced from David R. Counts' article , some cultures see the act of gift giving in a radically different way. Reciprocity brings about a gift giving approach that is essentially different from ours. The people of New Guinea think gift giving must include a symmetry in that you also have to respond to the act of gift giving by giving something in return for the one you received. It is a kind of implied bargain, or shopping through barter more to say. In the lack of formal rules and practices of trade, the natives created their own concept of reciprocal gift giving as a means of doing trade. From a western point of view, the meanings ascribed to gift giving are very different, though. But New Guineans have refined this form of gift giving through centuries and created this particular meaning system. Western culture sees gift giving as away from commercial thoughts. Though reciprocity is emphasized again, the hints of mutual give-and-take are shunned carefully lest monetary concerns come between. Western...

text: I'm just getting into cameras a bit more "seriously", so I've been looking for something better than my point and click. I'd avoided looking at the SLR's, as I think they would be wasted on me, not to mention the cost. So I'd sorta settled on the upgraded model of the - don't laugh - Fuji S9500 ( S9100 in the US? ) when they come available. I'd read a review on dpreview and it seemed to do quite well. However, several people who know more about cameras have rubbished it, saying that it's nothing more than an SLR wannabe, and that I should spend the extra and get a real SLR. I could probably stretch to one of the new Canon 400D's with a lens kit ( http://www.bestcameras.co.uk/shop/a...e_Canon_Eos_400d___18_55_Canon_lens_1271.html ), but apparently that lens is underpowered, and not worth having, so I'm sorta stuck. I want something better than a point and click, but I can't afford to spend £500 buying the Canon and nearly £200 for a new lens. Has anyone had experience of the S9500 and/or the Canon with the lens? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Lawyers Strike Back in Bruno Lawsuit
June 2009
After a California woman's lawsuit claiming that her 2007 bingo brawl with Bruno has left her confined to a wheelchair with "life-altering injuries" and deserving of over $25,000 in damages, Universal Pictures has come out swinging in defense.
According to the statement, "The allegations made by Richelle and Lance Olson in their complaint are completely baseless. Filmed footage of the full encounter, which took place more than two years ago, clearly shows that Ms. Olson was never touched or in any way assaulted by Sacha Baron Cohen or any member of the production and suffered no injury. If the Olsons elect to proceed with their frivolous action, we expect each of the defendants to be fully vindicated."
Bringing even more firepower is the law firm representing the film and Cohen. A letter obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, Esq. lays it out in no uncertain terms:
"Interestingly, although you have generated over 15,000 media articles regarding the complaint, you have not served it upon any of the defendants. Nor have you ever provided us with even so much as a letter or a phone call regarding your clients' alleged claims. This, despite Ms. Olson's claim in particular that she has been crippled for two years as a result of the alleged incident. Our clients learned of the alleged claims only from press reports this week."
"Your clients' claims are demonstrably and ludicrously false. This is proven beyond any doubt by the actual unedited and unaltered film footage of the entire alleged encounter between your clients and Mr. Baron Cohen (and his production crew). If a photograph is worth a thousand words, this film footage is a reference library. It conclusively demonstrates that the allegations in the complaint are pure fiction."
Elsewhere in the four-page document, Bruno's legal eagles state that, in fact, it was Ms. Olson who roughed up Bruno by "grabbing his arms from behind and attempting to pull him out of a chair."
Bruno's legal team goes on to cite the release forms that Ms. Olson signed which plainly prohibit her from taking any action against the film's producers, and waive all legal claims entirely. They gave Ms. Olson's lawyers until June 8 to rescind their suit. No word on whether that has happened.

The US should treat Pakistan as a "rogue state" like North Korea and create a "super alliance" with India to combat extremism as Islamabad has "blackmailed" America into providing aid to combat terrorism but continues to harbour terrorists, a former Republican Senator has said. "Unless Pakistan changes its ways with respect to terrorism, it should be declared a terrorist state. Several leading foreign policy experts besides me have urged as much. Indeed, the first Bush administration seriously considered doing so in 1992," Larry Pressler, the former US Senator from South Dakota, writes in his latest book 'Neighbours in Arms: An American Senator's Quest for Disarmament in a Nuclear Subcontinent'.
"Pakistan should be treated like North Korea – like a rogue state. The only reason Pakistan is not a totally failed state is because countries like China and the United States continue to prop it up with massive amounts of foreign aid," Pressler, 75, writes.
As chairman of Senate Arms Control Subcommittee, Pressler advocated the now-famous Pressler Amendment, enforced in 1990.
Aid and military sales to Pakistan were blocked, including a consignment of F-16 fighter aircraft, changing forever the tenor of the US relationships with Pakistan and India.
The book, that hit the US market today, reveals what went on behind the scenes in the years when the Pressler Amendment was in force.
"Pakistan's leaders have essentially blackmailed us into providing aid for the war on terrorism with threats to cease assistance in rooting out terrorists in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, we know full well that Pakistan harbours terrorists, and many military leaders believe terrorists have infiltrated Pakistan's ranks," says Pressler, who served in the US Senate from 1979 to 1997.
"We let Pakistan use US taxpayer money to build their nuclear weapons programme. Why do we now let them use US taxpayer money to harbour terrorists? Without our money and military supplies, Pakistan would be powerless. Why do we continue to call Pakistan an ally? Why do we continue to be blackmailed?" the three-term Republican Senator asked.
The book exposes the enormous power wielded by the military-industrial complex, which he terms Octopus, and how it controls significant aspects of the American presence in the Indian subcontinent
Pressler advocates a strong India-US relationship and recommends creation of a "Super US-India Alliance".
Today, the state of India-US relations has become almost entirely that of a military relationship. The war on terrorism, the fight against Islamic militants worldwide, are consuming the foreign policy agendas of both the US and India, and dominating bilateral dialogue of both countries, he observes.
"With the dark shadows of 9/11 and the Mumbai attack still looming large on our collective consciousness, America and India are forced to engage together and with all our shared allies in this fight. The military relationship the US has with India is one of necessity," he argues.
"We share a commitment to democratic values in a continent where democracy is scarce. We also share a fear of China's increasing aggression and are committed to developing a strong, joint naval posture to counter this threat. But the alliance between our two nations could be much, much more than a military one," Pressler said.
"We must decisively choose India as our nation's most favoured ally in the world – on a par with the special relationships we have with Israel and the United Kingdom. The world's largest democracy deserves a special relationship with the US and a favoured status with free trade agreements and massive foreign development aid," Pressler asserts.
Pressler also gives an insight into the undocumented lobbying efforts of Pakistan in the US.
"On paper Pakistan has not had lobbyists since 2013. This is misleading," Pressler said, adding that everyone knows fully well that Pakistan continues lobbying in Washington.
"The ISI just finds unregistered individuals and organisations to do it," he writes.

We are very happy with our new pair of Toulouse geese! We could see how well cared for and tame they were. Thank you again!
Margarete Finn
satisfied buyer
I received my first Faverolles bantam pullet from Jorgensen Waterfowl last week, and she is absolutely wonderful. She's sweet and cage-trained, and very easily handled by my children. I am so impressed by the professionalism and service I received from Sierra-- she was so helpful with information and willingness to help. She shipped the pullet from California to Texas, and she did an outstanding job; the bird arrived healthy and hearty. I will definitely do business with her again if I have the chance. Thanks, Sierra, for such a great addition to our backyard flock!! Keep preserving this amazing breed of chicken-- you have a gift!!

Doru is the smallest of the Jade Mantis acolytes and is just 15 years old. Chen Tao binds her hands and takes her to a nearby barn he hopes will be safe from another Jade Mantis attack. He and Anselmo's friends light many torches in the barn to drive off shadows.
Doru prostrates herself at Chen Tao's feet. "Revered Teacher," she begs, "when you kill me, let me die on my feet facing the foe as a Caetari should." Chen Tao replies "I'll consider it," but he has no intention of killing his prisoner.
They set watch, Sova going first. She is patrolling closely around the barn when a bird-call gets her attention. Crouching in a nearby tree is Geshho, now in civilian clothes. The Jade Mantis gestures for Sova to follow and bounds off, running along the top of a fence. Sova follows step for step, atop the fence, over a shed, finally meeting Gessho in a gazebo a few dozen yards from the barn.
Gessho tells her, "with your speed, your skills and your resolve you should have been one of us. We would have trained you and given you a name." Sova introduces herself and tells Gessho a bit about her training in Felleg'Avin. Then she asks what this is all about. Doru's capture is Gessho's responsibility, and Gassho wants to take Doru's place as the abbot's prisoner. Sova is impressed by the Jade Mantis' honor and honesty.
Waking Kendal, Sova explains the situation. Kendal can't think of one reason they wouldn't make the trade, so they do. Doru, relieved but ashamed, runs off to join her sisters while Gessho is bound. Sova stay up most of the night talking to Gessho.
Meanwhile up near Planos, Anselmo questions Jikan. She tells him all about the Jade Mantis and the events leading to the holy war. Anselmo dislikes the lack of honesty shown by Mumyo, but thinks if the Jade Mantis re-dedicate themselves to the 9 virtues there is hope of reconciliation. Jikan asks Anselmo to take her side before the abbot and insist the Way of Shadow is a true way to follow Caetar. Anselmo sleeps on it.
Come morning Chen Tao is less pleased at the exchange. Gessho tells him she knows he's going to Jikan's house: she assures the abbot they will find it empty when they arrive. Gessho offers to lead them to Jikan and Anselmo. The abbot disagrees. Instead he summons four of his monks, then sends one of them (Anzan) to give Jikan a message: the abbot will meet them on his terms or no deal.
The next day Jikan and Anselmo follow Anzan to an isolated sheep pasture where they meet Chen Tao and Anselmo's friends just after noon. Gessho is released and the two groups each relate their version of events from the last few days.
Anselmo calls Jikan and Chen Tao together. He feels he cannot speak for the church, but gets Jikan to agree to submit herself to the Archbishop's decision once they can contact him. She tells Anselmo there may be a way to contact Felleg'Avin if they can just retake the monastery …
