SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Rodney Hood scored 30 points and the Jazz turned Kobe Bryant's last visit to Utah into the worst loss of his career with a 123-75 victory on Monday night that matched the Lakers' largest defeat in franchise history.
The Jazz had their biggest offensive night of the season and remained in the No. 7 slot in the Western Conference playoff race, one game ahead of the Houston Rockets.
The 48-point defeat matched the margin in the Lakers' 142-94 loss to the Clippers on March 7, 2014, when Bryant was out with an injury.
More from FoxSports
Hood and the Jazz put the game away early with a 17-2 start. The second-year guard was 5 for 5 from the field for 14 first-quarter points. He had 30 at halftime, including eight 3-pointers, and missed his career high for a game by two points.
TORONTO (AP) - Russell Westbrook had 26 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds in his 16th triple-double of the season, Kevin Durant scored 34 points and Oklahoma City beat Toronto for its eighth straight victory.
Westbrook has seven triple-doubles in March, the most in a month since Michael Jordan had seven in April, 1989. He has the most in a season since Magic Johnson had 17 in 1988-89.
Oklahoma City has the NBA's longest current winning streak and the team's longest since a 10-game run from Jan. 16-31, 2014.
DeMar DeRozan had 19 points and Norman Powell added 18 for the Raptors, who lost at home for just the fourth time in 2016.
CHICAGO (AP) - Jeff Teague scored 26 points, including two free throws with just over six seconds to play, and surging Atlanta fought off a furious Chicago rally.
It was the fourth straight win for the Hawks. Though the Bulls mounted a dramatic late comeback, they continued a late-season swoon, losing their fourth straight.
The Bulls were down as much as 15 in the second half, but stormed back in the fourth quarter and were down three with the ball with eight seconds to play. Chicago's Mike Dunleavy missed a layup, though, and fouled Teague, whose free throws sealed Atlanta's ninth win in 10 games.
Dennis Schroder and Al Horford each added 14 points for Atlanta. Paul Millsap had 11 rebounds and Horford added 10 for the Hawks, who completed a season sweep of the Bulls.
Derrick Rose had 20 points for the Bulls.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - LaMarcus Aldridge had 31 points and 13 rebounds to lead San Antonio over Memphis.
Aldridge connected on 11 of 16 shots and was 9 of 11 from the line as San Antonio won despite resting stars Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, who did not make the trip to Memphis.
Patty Mills finished with 17 points, while Kyle Anderson had 13 points and a career-best seven assists. Boris Diaw also added 13 points.
Vince Carter led Memphis with 14 points, while JaMychal Green finished with 12. Matt Barnes had 11 points and nine rebounds for Memphis, which lost its third straight.
San Antonio shot 51 percent from the field, while Memphis struggled at 40 percent.
MIAMI (AP) - Dwyane Wade had 30 points and nine assists, Hassan Whiteside scored a career-high 27 points off the bench and Miami pulled away to beat Brooklyn.
Josh Richardson finished with 16 points in a spot start and Justise Winslow added 13 for Miami, which clamped down defensively in the second half.
Brook Lopez scored 26 points for Brooklyn, which had its streak of seven straight games with 100 or more points - the team's longest in two years - come to an end. Thaddeus Young made his first 10 shots and scored 20 for the Nets, who got 14 from Sean Kilpatrick.
Wade is averaging 27.1 points in his last seven games against the Nets. He shot 14 for 19 from the field on Monday, helping ensure that Joe Johnson's first game against his former team would be a winning one.
DENVER (AP) - Reserve J.J. Barea scored 18 points and had 11 assists to help short-handed Dallas halt a three-game skid with a win over Denver.
Dwight Powell had 10 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter as Dallas moved into a virtual tie with Houston for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
It was a much-needed win for the Mavericks in a month that hasn't been friendly to them. They're 4-10 and have gone from five games over .500 on March 1 to two games below.
The Mavericks had seven players score in double figures, including all of their starters.
Will Barton had 23 points for the Nuggets, who finished with 21 turnovers. The Mavericks turned it over just three times.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Andrew Wiggins scored 32 points, Karl-Anthony Towns added 27 points and 10 boards and Minnesota beat Phoenix.
Wiggins needed just 13 field goal attempts to score his points. He made 17 of 21 free throws and 3 of 5 3-pointers as the Wolves won for the third time in their last four games. Minnesota shot 50.6 percent and turned 21 Suns turnovers into 26 points.
Devin Booker scored 12 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter as the Suns mounted a furious comeback from 20 down. Brandon Knight scored 30 points and tied a career high with seven 3-pointers, but the Suns lost for the eighth time in their last 11 games.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Jrue Holiday scored 10 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter and New Orleans snapped a three-game slide with a victory over New York.
Returning from a two-game absence because of a toe injury on his left foot, Holiday took over a tight game in the final minutes, scoring six points during a 9-0 run that gave New Orleans a 93-85 lead.
The Pelicans won for the first time this season when scoring fewer than 100 points. New Orleans had been 0-33 in such games.
Former Knick Toney Douglas scored 16 points and Luke Babbitt added 14 for the Pelicans.
Carmelo Anthony scored 22 for New York, while Robin Lopez added 17 points. Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis had 16 points, 10 rebounds and three blocked shots.

Temporary Supply Drought Helps Mortgage Securities Performance
NEW YORK -- Despite expectations of fast prepayments and heavy supply, mortgage-backed securities gained in price and tightened in spreads versus Treasurys Wednesday.
The surprisingly strong performance in MBS can be attributed to little supply pressure on the day.

This is the Maestro Bass Brassmaster revisited. This was probably the first octave fuzz designed for bass back in the early 70s. It's still the best imho, and sounds fantastic on guitar too.
This is true to the original circuit but using modern components for the best bass fidelity. This Brassmaster is true to the original 70s pedals having the correct components which give the best low frequency response, octave effect and range of fuzzy bass goodness.

Anglagard's bassist Johan Brand did a Brassmaster pedal shootout, I am so pleased that the Latent Lemon pedal came out on top! Here are the three pedals he compared:

Your name will be added to the drawing that will happen within the week after the event. You could be the one that wins $100 in the form of a gift certificate to spend at a local business of your choice! You can also split the $100 into 2 gift certificates to different businesses.

Bear With Us - Bear Stories of the Santa Cruz Mountains
The San Lorenzo Valley Museum shares bear stories of the Santa Cruz Mountains at the Boulder Creek Branch Library.
In the late 1700s, the San Francisco peninsula was a wilderness, and home to large numbers of grizzlies. The abundance of food was shared between the hierarchy of wildlife and the native peoples; there was plenty for all. In just a few decades, this would change.
Confrontations between man and bear often resulted in death or serious injury. By the late-1800s there were few grizzlies left here and by 1900, grizzlies, once prolific, had been hunted to extinction.
This exhibition tells the stories of bear encounters, both grizzlies and black bears, in the Santa Cruz area from the late 1700s to the present day and reminds us that often our intolerance can lead to an unrecoverable and regrettable loss.

Tour the Pacific Migrations Visitor Center at New Brighton State Beach
Come explore the Pacific Migrations Visitor Center at New Brighton State Beach. This free mini-museum highlights the history of Pacific Rim migrations and how they have influenced the Monterey Bay area.
The exhibits explore the contributions of Chinese fishers, who established fishing camps on the Monterey Bay coastline beginning in the 1850s. Fishers dried and shipped most of their catch to markets up and down the coast, as well as across the Pacific. Chinese fish merchants also sold their fresh catch in local towns. China Beach, as New Brighton was known at the time, lasted until the mid-1880s.
The center, which is supported by Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks, is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays to Sundays. It also includes a ParkStore, offering nature and history-themed merchandise for sale. All proceeds benefit local parks and beaches.
Self-guided tours of the Pacific Migrations Visitor Center are free. Docent-led tours are available for groups. Contact Jean Bernard at the Visitor Center, 831-464-5620, to schedule. Parking at New Brighton State Beach is $10 and supports the park. New Brighton State Beach is located at 1500 Park Ave. in Capitola

Quotes About They Change So
If some things aren't going well, do something; never wait for the things to be ok by themselves! Do something; change the direction, change the parameters, change the criteria, change anything you wish to change! To change is to create a new destiny! Remember, you have thousands of different destinies; change is your instrument to switch from one destiny to another! Remember, you have thousands of different destinies!Send Quote
Balance and control come from healthy anger. This is just as aggressive as the unhealthy kind. But it is based on a belief and hope for change in social roles and institutions. Healthy anger demands change and creates the confrontations needed for change to occur. It also gives the other an opportunity to help make that change. "Our task, of course, is to transmute the anger that is affliction into the anger that is determination to bring about change. I think, in fact, that one could give that as a definition of revolution.Send Quote
Once you change your philosophy, you change your thought pattern. Once you change your thought pattern, you change your - your attitude. Once you change your attitude, it changes your behavior pattern and then you go on into some action. As long as you gotta sit-down philosophy, you'll have a sit-down thought pattern, and as long as you think that old sit-down thought you'll be in some kind of sit-down action.Send Quote
Every so often we hear people clamor for a change. Let's change the Constitution, change the form of Government, change everything for better or worse except to change the only thing that needs changing first: The human heart and our standard of success and human values.Send Quote
When we see the need for deep change, we usually see it as something that needs to take place in someone else. In our roles of authority, such as parent, teacher, or boss, we are particularly quick to direct others to change. Such directives often fail, and we respond to the resistance by increasing our efforts. The power struggle that follows seldom results in change or brings about excellence. One of the most important insights about the need to bring about deep change in others has to do with where deep change actually starts.Send Quote
Most of us were taught that God would love us if and when we change. In fact, God loves you so that you can change. What empowers change, what makes you desirous of change is the experience of love. It is that inherent experience of love that becomes the engine of change.Send Quote
I want to use film to tell stories that need to be told to spark discussions that will lead to change. I really want to see a change in the mindset of youth, how they see themselves and how they value life. Young audiences will be able to see themselves in this film and older audiences will gain an understanding of what their kids are dealing with on a daily basis. Kids discuss what they see on TV, social media, film so I want to create content that they will discuss and will change the way they think.Send Quote
The entire world may not change. The entire world cannot change. The entire world even will not change. But your tiny world you can and will change forever at this very moment with the help of your confidence-heart. Yours will be the unparalleled victory.Send Quote
Are you on the eve of change? Embrace it. Accept it. Don't resist it. Change is not only a part of life, change is a necessary part of God's strategy. To use us to change the world, he alters our assignments.Send Quote
I've met a few people who had to change their jobs in order to change their lives, but I've met many more people who merely had to change their motive to service in order to change their lives.Send Quote
The only way to change the world is to change the main character of our story - the one we believe that we are. If we change the main character, if we respect ourselves, then just like magic, all the secondary characters will change. We can only give what we have, and if we don't respect ourselves, how can we respect others?Send Quote
Men do change, and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn, and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass. Change may be announced by a small ache, so that you think you're catching cold. Or you may feel a faint disgust for something you loved yesterday. It may even take the form of a hunger that peanuts won't satisfy. Isn't overeating said to be one of the strongest symptoms of discontent. And isn't discontent the lever of change?Send Quote
By declaring yourself a leader, you're taking initiative and moving into a role of influence in a lively and vital network that's changing the world. We're changing the world, first by changing ourselves and then by touching the world as changed beings. We believe the change in us catalyzes change in others. So in changing the world, we're choosing to be the change we wish to see in the world. By taking on this leadership role, you are choosing to be the change too.Send Quote
A lot of people complain about yesterday. We have no power to change yesterday. But this very day, 30 years later, is what we can control and decide. Change yourself, take baby steps, and stay determined for ten years. I thank the times of change and everyone's complaints. Because when everyone is complaining, that is your chance, an opportunity. It's only in times of change that someone can be clear of what he has and wants, and what he needs to give up.Send Quote
If there is one sweeping generalization I can make without fear of contradiction, it is that 'change' is the scariest word in the English language Nothing will change in our lives until we change our own behavior. Insight won't do it. Understanding why we do the self-defeating things we do won't make us stop doing them. Nagging and pleading with the other person to change won't do it. We have to act. We have to take the first step down a new road.Send Quote
The business changes. The technology changes. The team changes. The team members change. The problem isn't change, per se, because change is going to happen; the problem, rather, is the inability to cope with change when it comes.Send Quote
I think a lot of people want people who actually have qualities they don't find attractive as a way of being able to change them. It's fascinating, because people think if they can change the other person, they can change themselves. It's a complex phenomenon. It's a fantasy that's actually about being able to come to terms with ourselves.Send Quote
Most people would rather change their circumstances to improve their lives when instead they need to change themselves to improve their circumstances. They put in just enough effort to distance themselves from their problems without ever trying to go after the root, which can often be found in themselves. Because they don't try to change the source of their problems, their problems keep coming back at them.Send Quote

SPECIAL: FT (Fitness Together) Promo + Giveaway!
Have you ever gotten into a workout routine and at some point, you get stuck? You might not be seeing results as fast as you did at first, or you might not feel like your body is being challenged in the ways you want it to be. I've been a workout fanatic most of my life, and this has happened to me. It's a pretty simple concept as to why you step into the rut- once your body becomes conditioned to doing something, it uses less effort to do it. Less effort = slowed progress. Slowed progress = rut.

I was born in Norwich in 1951. I studied painting at the Central
School of Art & Design where Adrian Berg taught me to
think and Blair Hughes-Stanton taught me a respect for materials
and craftsmanship. I began to learn how to draw when I became
a life painting tutor at the Workingman's College in Camden
and in 1976 my first one man exhibition at Parkway Focus in
Camden Town was made up of figurative work.
From 1974 to 1984 I taught at St Martin's School of Art as
an evening class tutor in painting and printmaking. Throughout
this period I continued to draw from the human figure and
also made a series of large paintings on the theme of the
book as object, pictorial formality and totem. I showed these
at Imperial College and Swiss Cottage Library in 1981.
The 80s was a strange decade for me. Some people made a lot
of money but I was not one of them. As well as painting I
worked as a furniture removal man, a schoolteacher and in
1985, a year after leaving my job at St Martin's, Ros and
I became directors of the Mendip Painting Centre.
Continued below....
David Cuthbert
The Big Cheese - Oil
The late
80s was my 'Pot Period', as it became known in the family;
I produced a lot of coloured pencil drawings, watercolours
and acrylics on the theme of vessels - teapots, cups, dishes
etc., mostly from imagination and memory. I had some small
success with these, selling several through the now defunct
Camden Galleries in London's Parkway. But by the early 90s
I had become more concerned with observation and immediate
response to things observed; colour and line had become the
unifying agents in the struggles with changing light, mood
and movement.
An expedition to Australia in 2000 marked a high point in
my career as far as painting out in front of the motif was
concerned, despite the problems of lugging large quantities of materials, A1 folder
and easel by
'plane and Land Cruiser
into the outback. The results sold well from shows in London,
Bath and here in Winscombe. However, two trips to Brazil in
2004 produced a much more unexpected result with a return
to working from memory and imagination. At the end of that
year I began a particularly productive period making paintings
on the theme of food, meals, eating and drinking, which gradually
evolved in 2006 away from the restraint of the rectangle into
a series of cutouts on the same theme. This too has shifted
and my current work is much more 'abstract'. I have made a
series of reliefs and sculptural pieces to hang on a wall
and over the last twelve months or so I have explored the
ambiguities of figure and landscape in a new series of oil

Rose Facts
Rose Meaning and Rose Symbolism
The rose is a symbol of love, beauty, and even war. Roses common a variety of colors. Roses even carry symbolic meanings. The red rose is most popularly known as the flower of love. Roses are the most popular choice of flowers for gifting around the world. Roses are also a great addition to home and office decor. A bunch of roses or even a single rose works wonders aesthetically and considerably enlivens a place. Fresh cut roses in different colors are also widely used as decoration.
Roses Classification
Rosacea / Rosoideae
Roses Facts
- The birthplace of the cultivated Rose was probably Northern Persia, on the Caspian, or Faristan on the Gulf of Persia.
- Roses were considered the most sacred flowers in ancient Egypt and were used as offerings for the Goddess Isis. Roses have also been found in Egyptian tombs, where they were formed into funeral wreaths.
- Confucius, 551 BC to 479 BC, reported that the Imperial Chinese library had many books on Roses.
- The English were already cultivating and hybridizing Roses in the 15th Century when the English War of Roses took place. The winner of the war, Tudor King Henry VII, created the Rose of England (Tudor Rose) by crossbreeding other Roses.
- Roses are universal and grown across the world.
- The Netherlands is the world's leading exporter of Roses, followed by Colombia and Ecuador.
Rose Classification
Broadly, Roses are divided into three classes-
Species Roses
Species Roses are often called Wild Species Roses. Species Roses often have relatively simple, 5-petaled flowers followed by very colorful hips that last well into the winter, providing food for birds and winter color.
The most popular Rose species for sale today is Rosa rugosa owing to its superior hardiness, disease resistance, and extremely easy maintenance. Species roses are widely hybridized. Wild Species Roses include many different varieties. Wild Species Roses usually bloom once in the summer.
Old Garden Roses
Old Garden Roses have a delicate beauty and wonderful perfume, not often found in modern hybrid tea roses. Old Garden Roses are a diverse group from the those with a wonderful fragrance and great winter hardiness to the tender and lovely tea roses, which are best suited for warm climates.
Old Garden Roses comprise a multifaceted group that in general are easy to grow, disease-resistant and winter-hardy. Old Garden Roses grow in several shrub and vine sizes. Although colors do vary, this class of Roses are usually white or pastel in color. These "antique Roses" are generally preferred for lawns and home gardens. Several groupings of Roses classified as Old Garden Roses are China Roses, Tea Roses, Moss Roses, Damask Roses, Bourbon Roses, etc.
Modern Roses
Any Rose identified after 1867, is considered a Modern Rose.
Old Garden Roses are the predecessors of Modern Roses. This group of Roses are very popular. The Modern Rose is the result of crossbreeding the hybrid tea with the polyanthus (a variety of primrose).
The colors of Modern Roses are varied, rich and vibrant. The most popular roses found in the class of Modern Roses are the Hybrid Tea Roses, Floribunda Roses, and Grandiflora Roses. Although Modern Roses are adored by florists and gardeners, they do require proper care, and do not adapt well to colder environments.

Put your enterprise data to work with Oracle AI to accelerate your business outcomes.
Oracle extends autonomous capabilities across the entire cloud platform.
The central tenet of AI— to replicate and exceed the way humans perceive and react to the world around us — is set to become the cornerstone of innovation. Powered by various forms of machine learning that recognize patterns in data to enable predictions, AI will improve our interaction with technology, more comprehensively understand the abundance of data, and rely on the predictions to automate excessively complex or mundane tasks.
Three factors have led to increased attention and development for enterprise AI:
The abundance of commodity compute power in the cloud has provided the opportunity for affordable, high-performance compute power. Previously, AI computing environments have been cost prohibitive.
AI requires data to understand the data we need. For AI to be effective, it uses techniques to learn from direct and indirect data sources. For our understanding of enterprise data, we also need AI to extract insights and complement analytics.
Breakthrough consumer interactions using natural language can be transplanted into the enterprise to improve customer satisfaction and employee productivity.
Oracle embeds AI across many of its business and technology services. Relying on years of domain expertise, and with a deep understanding of cross-industry and specific industry market trends, Oracle's data scientists build models that solve key business problems and eliminate the need for you to build, train, and fine-tune a team to embed AI on your own.
Adding machine learning and cognitive interactions to traditional business processes and applications enables greatly improved user experience and productivity. In addition to Oracle AI Platform Cloud Service, which includes high-performance training and operational infrastructure, Oracle embeds ready-to-use AI and machine-learning capabilities across Oracle's SaaS, PaaS, and IOT services, including cognitive AI, analytics, data services, IT management, and security operations.

What is an "Odd Mom," you may ask?
She is the mom that doesn't quite fit in at the social events. She's the mom that someone has called crazy for homeschooling, breastfeeding, cloth diapering,
<insert any parenting or life choice here that may involve your children that isn't mainstream or cool at the moment.>
She's the mom battling demons you may not know about. She's the mom that is exhausted and not afraid to let you know about it.
She is the mom with a gorgeous Instagram feed of smiling happy children, that is secretly hiding in her closet with a king-sized Snickers.
An Odd Mom is every mom - she is you, your mother, your aunt, your best friend - I am That Odd Mom.
Jessica S. Parmer
Be a Good Human Being that sends more good human beings out into the world
Pretty much, I just want to make it through this life of mine as a wife and special needs mom, without completely losing my shit along the way. This is done with the motivation of not producing tiny humans that eat Tide Pods, while utilizing my daily fuel of sarcasm, humor and coffee. Once upon a time I wanted to be a model ( I kind of was for a while, ) an environmental investigator, a resteranteur, and bad ass mom publisher that would rule the world. I'll settle for the good human being gig though.
My Boobs are magic milk machines!
2005 - 2011
I breastfed for six years straight, with a short three month or so hiatus in between. I did this without having a complete nervous breakdown or scaring my kids, so that has to give me at least

I have a teenager on the spectrum and he's not an asshole yet
December 2015 - present
Seriously! You constantly hear about the dreaded teenage years, but 15 year old is a pretty cool dude. Though I'm sure he'd refer to me as old in about twenty different ways for calling him that. I haven't screwed him up, yet. #ParentingWin

My Preteen Hasn't thrown anything at me yet
March 2016 - present
Teenage boys might be more pleasant than expected, but let me tell you...my preteen daughter is every bit of the hormonal biatch I remember being at her age. ::::calm down...I don't actually call her a biatch...but I know I damn sure was at the age and her mood swings are ones for the record books. On the bright side, she hasn't seemed to pick up my urge to chuck things across the room, at people...whatever...when moody and angry, so we just might make it through these years mostly sane.

Work for practically nothing, for way to long
January 2010 - Present
My kids have seen me work for practically nothing for way too long...but they've also learned how to commit to something. They have learned that goals take work, that efforts pay off, and they've learned when to walk away from a commitment that isn't the best choice for your life. They've watched me run That Odd Mom as a publication, manage blogger influencer campaigns, market a new app and so much more. They watched me do what I loved, when it showed me love in return and from that they have learned to follow their passions.

In case you were wondering - this is what an asshole cat looks like.

My Kids think I'm a Rock star
I've been an influencer promoting brands in a variety ways since before the word "Influencer" was even a thing. I've worked with some pretty amazing companies, putting me at rock star status with the kids on occasion. While the brands listed below may have made my children think I was one of the cool kids, I'm pretty sure I shot that notion down weekly with random 80's dance parties in the kitchen. You've got to keep at all balanced out and stay humble! That's why these days, I spend my time trying to influence my kids not grow up and be and assholes like our cats!

1. NO, I do not want to run your ads, redesign this site, improve my SEO, etc...
2. NO, I am not interested in publishing your blog post about "xyz" company.
3. Yes, I may be interested in hearing about other collaborations or services; it all depends on the level of assholedom the cats have reached today!

By Toby Little
Many American families and businesses show their pride by flying the flag on patriotic holidays or perhaps every day. The flag can be a stirring symbol of freedom that unites neighborhoods and communities. You can display the flag with patriotic pride by following the guidelines outlined in the U.S. Flag Code.
The code describes the correct way to fly a flag under many conditions: on a vertical pole, an angled staff, in a stand, in a parade or suspended from a building or stage. The code also explains the protocols for honoring military or public service by placing a flag on a casket or flying the flag at half staff on specific occasions.
To ensure that your flag display is done with honor and respect:
If you replaced your flag, contact one of your local veterans' organizations for help disposing of the old one properly. Every American Legion or Veterans of Foreign Wars post will gladly take your flag at no cost to you. Some even have drop boxes in front of their buildings for used flags. Some Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops also conduct annual flag retirement ceremonies.
For more information about the proper display of the flag and honors rendered, you can look up the U.S. Flag code.
The American Legion also answers common questions about the flag and flag etiquette on its website.

To Love and Be Wise (1950) – Josephine Tey
There are some mysteries that are actually more enjoyable upon rereading. To Love and Be Wise is one of those books. Once the reader knows the solution to the mystery, it's a treat to go back and look for the clues that Tey provides. They're all there, seeming to call out to the reader, "If only you had paid attention, it would have been so easy!"
Tey's detective, Inspector Alan Grant of Scotland Yard, is called in find out what has become of a young American photographer, Leslie Searle, who disappeared while on a boat trip with a British radio commentator, Walter Whitmore. Has Whitmore killed Searle and disposed of his body in the river? Or did Searle simply walk away one night, leaving Whitmore behind to be blamed for his death? All that Grant knows for sure is that they were seen quarreling and that Searle has spent a lot of time recently with Whitmore's fiancée. Perhaps someone else has killed the enigmatic American? There are certainly many possible suspects in the little artist colony of Salcott St. Mary.
One of the joys of most of Tey's writing is her sense of humor — not the laugh-out-loud kind, but rather the gentle wit that makes the reader chuckle with recognition. Her description of Salcott St. Mary's evolution from sleepy little village to "occupied territory" as the writers and actors from London moved in, for example, reminded me of the fate of several Connecticut towns I know. And when the very successful author Lavinia Fitch, dictating her umpteenth romance novel, discovers that she has had her heroine wear high heels to play tennis, I recalled some of the authorial blunders I've seen in books, and even some I've made myself. Lavinia's reaction to her own heroine ("Who cares what the silly moron does!") is perfect.
This book was published the year before The Daughter of Time and includes some of the same characters; both Grant's sidekick Williams and the glamorous Marta Hallard make important contributions to the solution of the mystery. Daughter of Time fans will also be amused to see that the authors whose books sit unread on Grant's bedside table in Daughter of Time appear as characters in To Love and Be Wise.
The wonderful twist at the end of the story is just one more reason to treasure this book. One of the members of my mystery readers group called To Love and Be Wise "elegant." It is: there is elegance in its construction and elegance in the writing.

Graduation coaches are like guidance counselors that work with students – who are typically impoverished – deemed to be at "high risk" of not passing their grade level. On an average day, they might sit in a classroom to observe a student's behavior, have lunch with a student, or meet with a student after school to discuss school assignments. They also set up tutoring sessions for students who need it.
Graduation coaches are funded in a joint effort by the school system and by Communities in Schools of Wake County, a nonprofit student dropout prevention agency. Athens Drive High School, Millbrook High School, Powell Elementary School, Knightdale High School, and East Wake Middle are schools currently employing graduation coaches.
This week, CIS of Wake County will hire a graduation coach to work in two Knightdale elementary schools to be announced at a later date. Once hired and put to work in the Knightdale elementary schools, CIS and Wake County will have their first complete feeder pattern – meaning that, for the first time, they'll be able to follow a student from elementary school through high school and measure the effectiveness of a graduation coach on the student's performance.
"The earlier we intervene, the greater success we'll have with students," said Marvin Connelly, Wake assistant superintendent for student support services.
"Improving our graduation rates is more than just a high school task," Connelly said. "We have to make sure our elementary students have strong foundations."
Travis Mitchell, president of CIS in Wake, said his organization chose to put the new graduation coach in Knightdale because "we think that the areas of concentrated need are in eastern wake and southeastern Raleigh."
Schools in eastern Wake have some of the county's highest percentages of students on the school system's free-and-reduced-lunch program. Last school year, every elementary school in Knightdale had at least 50 percent of its student population on the program. The county average is about 35 percent.
Mitchell says students who identify a career path are 85 percent more likely to graduate.
"Through this program, we'll be able to turn (students) onto career opportunities much earlier in the game," Mitchell said. "By the time they reach high school, they're focused on an accelerated track."
Last year, graduation coaches worked with more than 800 students. Among high school seniors, 100 percent of those who worked with graduation coaches graduated.
Sam Woodrum, is the graduation coach at East Wake Middle. He works four 10-hour days, holds an after school program two days a week, and makes a huge difference with at-risk students, according to Nancy Allen, East Wake Middle's principal.
"Grades improve and (students) have a better sense of self because they know theres' somebody who cares about them," Allen said, referring to graduation coaches.
Allen said she's "very excited" about working with students who worked with a graduation coach in a local elementary school.
