DoubleClick called the ruling "groundbreaking," representing the first time courts have interpreted the applicability of federal privacy statutes to Internet advertising.
The suits were an outgrowth of publicity over DoubleClick's plans to combine offline information from its direct mail subsidiary Abacus Direct with its own online data to create consumer profiles. Privacy critics blasted the plan, and class action lawyers filed suits contending DoubleClick had violated various federal and state consumer protection statutes. The federal suits filed in different jurisdictions were consolidated.
Doubleclick CEO Kevin Ryan in a statement said he was "delighted" by Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald's decision. DoubleClick also announced today that it was filing a motion for summary judgement.
Alan Mansfield, one of the lawyers who filed suit against DoubleClick, said a possible appeal is being studied. -- Ira Teinowitz

The Pennsylvania GOP is out with a new web video that attempts to link Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tom Wolf to President Barack Obama's infamous "guns or religion" comment, made during the 2008 Democratic primary.
In 2008, Obama was leading the national Democratic primary, but trailing Hillary Clinton badly in Pennsylvania. Donors wanted to know why he couldn't close the deal with Pennsylvania's blue collar electorate.
That's when Obama said this: "It's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
The remarks, made when Obama thought no one except the donors were listening, were caught on tape and flogged for a while by the Clinton campaign, which went on to win Pennsylvania comfortably.
The GOP compares the Obama remarks to a joke Wolf made on the stump at Ag Progress Days last week. Speaking in public to the crowd of people he's joking with, Wolf explains that he wasn't just shaking hands and mingling with them because he's a nice guy. "I was looking for weapons," he quips.
The joke, one of a series of cracks from Wolf, elicited laughs from the audience.
In the GOP ad, it's a cue for sinister music and this text: "Looking for weapons? We know who that sounds like."
Then the kicker: pictures of Obama and Wolf and text that says "Tom Wolf, Barack Obama, looking down their noses...for your guns."
"Tom Wolf's comments exposed an unsettling truth: he shares Barack Obama's passive disdain for Pennsylvania's rural communities," said Republican Party chair Robert Gleason.
Why link Wolf to Obama? The most recent Franklin & Marshall College poll holds a clue. Obama's job approval rating of 34 percent with Pennsylvanians is almost as low as Corbett's rating of 27 percent.
"This is what they have to run on, they can't defend Tom Corbett's record," said spokesman Jeff Sheridan, who added that Wolf is from a rural community and supports the Second Amendment.

From the exploration of other planets to the meanderings of single cells through our bloodstream and into our tissues, Caltech researchers are thinking about transportation in unexpected ways. They're using transformative delivery methods to land on Mars, collect data in hard-to-reach locales, and shepherd drugs to the brain, and they're doing so in order to better be able to ask big questions about the origins of life, to monitor the earth's emissions and overall health, and even to treat some of the most devastating diseases we encounter.
Dispensing Drugs
Chemical engineer Mark Davis didn't start his scientific journey looking for new ways to treat cancer. But it's where his research has taken him in the years since his wife, Mary, was diagnosed with the disease in 1995. She beat it, but only after a long stay in intensive care as a result of the side effects of her chemotherapy. So she turned to her husband and, in essence, said "make this better."
At first he was taken aback— after all, Davis is an expert in designing catalytic materials that speed up chemical reactions, not drugs that can attack some of the most deadly and difficult-to-treat diseases. But then he did what any self-respecting scientist would do: research. Davis realized that a major part of the solution for fewer side effects from chemotherapy lies in the ability to set the drugs on a particular path to the tumor. "If you can keep cancer drugs away from healthy tissue, the awful side effects that are typically manifested would go away," he says. The problem is, most cancer drugs are like pharmaceutical carpet bombs. Because the molecules comprising these drugs are so tiny, they can squeeze their way through the wall of a blood vessel and wend their way to healthy tissues where they penetrate and destroy cells.
"They go into bone marrow and kill cells that make up your immune system, into hair follicles and make your hair fall out, and into other organs, causing failure," says Davis.
Building on his experience with nanomaterials as a result of his catalysis work, he came up with the idea of building a nanoparticle delivery vehicle that would encapsulate the therapeutics and carry them to where they were supposed to go. While small in size, the nanoparticles are bigger than the chemotherapy molecules they are ferrying and also too big to slip out of the bloodstream into healthy tissue.
In theory, Davis designed nanoparticles that should stay in the blood until they reach a tumor and then release their payload in the tumor—thus allowing the drugs to destroy solid tumors, like those of lung and breast cancer, while sparing healthy tissue.
Over time, he and his colleagues settled on nanoparticles made of cyclodextrins, which are a form of sugar. "Cyclodextrins are very biocompatible molecules, with a low toxicity," Davis says. "So, in humans, they sneak past the immune system." They soon recognized that 50 nanometers was the sweet spot for size, since the nanoparticles were then big enough to carry many cancer drug molecules yet small enough to travel in the blood and penetrate a tumor.
Davis's first success was with mice and used a cyclodextrin nanoparticle carrying a well-known chemotherapy drug, camptothecin. Davis and his collaborators tested the drug on various cancers—pancreatic, lung, breast, and more—and found that their delivery vehicle did indeed deliver. Because tumors are always growing new blood vessels, they give the nanoparticle access to the tumor through blood. Once the nanoparticles are inside, chemical sensors within the nanoparticles control the release rate of the delivered payload. By design, the remnants of the disassembled nanoparticle are then flushed harmlessly out of the body in the urine.
Davis's nanotherapy—developed and tested primarily by Cerulean Pharma Inc., a company that Davis is a consultant for and holds stock in—has now been used in over 10 clinical trials, many of which have been Phase II trials that test for both safety and indications of efficacy. Data from ongoing trials will be used later this year to assess whether the nanoparticle will enter Phase III trials that can be used to enable FDA approval.
"So far the side effects in all these trials have been very low," Davis says.
In March 2016, Davis and his coworkers reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on a nanoparticle clinical trial, where the nanoparticles were given intravenously to patients with stomach cancer. Biopsies showed evidence that the nanoparticle delivered its drug only to the tumors in the nine patients treated, and not in their adjacent healthy tissue.
"Right now, if a doctor wants to use multiple drugs to treat a cancer, they often can't do it because the cumulative toxic effects of the drugs would not be tolerated by the patient," Davis says. "With targeted nanoparticles, you have far fewer side effects, so it is anticipated that a drug combination can be selected based on biology and medicine rather than the limitations of the drugs."
Next he hopes to surmount one of the biggest challenges in creating new therapeutics—penetrating the blood-brain barrier (BBB) for delivery of drugs to the brain. The BBB is a cellular barrier that controls the entrance and exit of molecules into the brain, e.g., it lets nutrients in but efficiently keeps foreign substances out, including most therapeutic drugs. "This is a huge goal," says Davis, "not only for treating brain cancers and other diseases of the brain like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, but also because many cancers that start in the liver or breast or elsewhere in the body can metastasize to the brain and become the cause of death."
Last year, Davis and his coworkers reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences a big step toward this goal by borrowing from biology to successfully send 80-nanometer particles across the BBB in a mouse study using a mechanism called transcytosis. Transcytosis is the process by which various macromolecules, including proteins, are transported from the blood, across the cells that make up the BBB, and into the brain. In Davis's study, nanoparticles containing an ironbinding protein (called transferrin), which naturally crosses the BBB to bring iron into the brain, hijacked the transcytosis process to get past the BBB and into the brain.
The next step, Davis says, is to pack a nanoparticle with both the transferrin protein and a therapeutic; if that, too, can be shown to deliver as expected, he would want to eventually move the technique on to human clinical trials.
While those are Grand Canyonesque goals, Davis thinks the use of nanotherapeutics will someday become commonplace. They could well become a primary delivery system for personalized medicine, he says. "In the ultimate manifestation of the concept, one could envision even prophylactic treatments. For example, you have a family history of a certain disease or you have an X or Y gene that makes you susceptible to something bad. Your doctor will take a finger prick of blood, and you will be given a personalized nanoparticle containing the right drug that will circulate throughout your body, preventing the disorder from ever gaining a foothold. It would have few if any side effects, bypass healthy tissue, and you wouldn't even think about it. It will be like taking an aspirin."
Collecting Information
Engineer Mory Gharib is focused on finding a better way to get a very different kind of job done. Instead of transporting drugs throughout the body, his focus is on figuring out the best ways to take the already nearly ubiquitous autonomous drones and turn them from playthings into a workforce that can do the boring, expensive, and/or dangerous jobs that humans shouldn't be doing, like 24/7 monitoring of pipelines and rapidly delivering alerts of potential leaks; traveling to the way-distant shores of space to collect information; and entering collapsed buildings or damaged nuclear power plants and reporting back on conditions inside.
"The majority of drones and robots out there now are still toys," says Gharib (PhD '83), the Hans W. Liepmann Professor of Aeronautics and Bioinspired Engineering and vice provost. "There's nothing wrong with that, but we are now at the cusp where autonomous drones can have a meaningful impact on humans. The opportunities for drones to enhance science and our lives are numerous."
Gharib anticipates drones that will do the heavy lifting on construction sites, for example, or monitor farmland to detect a threat from insects and then do localized spraying with the minimum amount of pesticide needed.
He believes they will also improve the delivery of everyday goods while reducing the carbon footprint. He notes, however, that there are fundamental challenges that must be overcome to allow this technology to reach its full potential. That's why this spring Caltech established—with the help of a generous gift from investor and philanthropist Foster Stanback and his wife, Coco—the Center for Autonomous Systems and Technologies (CAST). Directed by Gharib, the center is poised to attack the multifaceted challenges of autonomous systems by taking advantage of the expertise that cuts across Caltech's divisions and JPL. Among the baker's dozen of scientists affiliated with CAST, Beverley McKeon, professor of aeronautics and assistant director of the Graduate Aerospace Laboratories, builds small-scale models of aircraft to study turbulent flow. This is not just to help passengers avoid nausea when their airplane hits an unruly pocket of air but also to design more streamlined drones and thus avoid them being knocked off course when strong winds are blowing.
Richard Murray, the Thomas E. and Doris Everhart Professor of Control and Dynamical Systems and Bioengineering, recognizes that drones and robots have the potential to exceed the capabilities of humans, but—like humans—they will have to be able to adjust to their environment in real time and also be able to self-correct. So Murray and his research group are exploring decision-making, resource allocation, and fault handling in unmanned, autonomous vehicles and mission systems.
Pietro Perona, the Allen E. Puckett Professor of Electrical Engineering, teaches machines how to "see" like humans do. A drone that can not only capture and deliver images but also understand what those images show would be useful to scientists and to itself. Perona is mainly interested in the study of visual categorization of scenes, objects, and behavior a vehicle navigating in complex environments may encounter. For example, an unmanned rescue vehicle in an earthquake-stricken city has to be able to recognize and classify other vehicles, people, signals, equipment, etc. It also has to be able to judge the actions and intentions of humans and animals. Gharib's own interest in the field is in applying his expertise in smallscale fluid flow and bioinspired fluid dynamics to help design more effective and versatile drones. What has held back the final advance of the necessary software, he says, is a common barrier: money and commercial interest. But that is starting to change, as the work of Lance E. Christensen shows.
A 2003 Caltech doctoral graduate in physical chemistry, Christensen is now a senior atmospheric scientist at JPL. He doesn't build drones; instead, he uses them to carry his instrumentation to go out and, as he says, "sniff stuff." He invents tunable laser spectrometers that indeed basically sniff the atmosphere for trace measurements of gases. Such spectrometers measure the abundance of atmospheric gases such as methane, water vapor, and carbon dioxide.
Christensen was part of the team that developed the Tunable Laser Spectrometer (TLS) for the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) suite of instruments on the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity rover. TLS investigates the composition of the planet's atmosphere and compounds extracted from the surface of Mars. These days, Christensen's work has expanded to include collaboration with private industry; he is partnering with the Pipeline Research Council International (PRCI) and Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), a gas and electric utility in Northern California.
"There is a natural relationship between industry and science," says Christensen. "For example, the amount of methane in our atmosphere has been growing now for the last decade after a five-year pause. Why don't we know where it's coming from? How can we not know our Earth's systems? Is it all these leaky pipes? Is it fracking? These questions cross over with industry." As the inventor of the Open Path Laser Spectrometer (OPLS), which can measure small natural gas leaks (< 1 standard cubic foot per hour) hundreds of meters downwind, Christensen adapted the instrument for industry to act as safety equipment and, when placed aboard drones, to look for leaks along thousands of miles of natural gas pipelines.
When Christensen was first starting out, he placed his datacollecting instruments on highaltitude balloons; later, he moved on to NASA aircraft for science campaigns such as the Mid-latitude Airborne Cirrus Properties Experiment. Today, he places his instruments on a quadcopter drone that he can hold in his hand; in February, along with colleagues from UC Merced and PRCI, he flight tested the OPLS in order to see how far downwind and how high he could detect methane leaking out of the ground.
"The quadcopter is stable, it doesn't crash, and it doesn't get tired," he says, adding that he'd like to integrate an electrical landing pad into the system. "When a drone runs low on power, it would land on the pad to recharge while another drone lifts off to take its place."
It's an ideal solution for industry, particularly those companies that are responsible for working with or maintaining the nation's aging energy infrastructure. In PG&E's case, drones would be a much easier and costeffective way to monitor pipelines like those in the Bay Area's hilly regions.
One last hurdle to widespread use of drones, says Christensen, is the government's concerns around privacy issues and the safety of other aircraft. For those reasons, the Federal Aviation Administration is moving cautiously on developing regulations for their use.
Christensen understands the agency's slow pace. "People have mixed feelings about drones," he says. "And with the rise of miniaturization and the growing capability of this technology, it gives a lot of us pause for thought, sometimes keeping us up at night. "But if people can get rid get rid of their preconceived notions of drones, their utility could be endless," says Christensen. "Think about having tiny drones floating just above the tree line, monitoring leaks from transmission lines. That's something humans will never be able to do. The public might go for that."
Transporting Tools
Geochemist Ken Farley doesn't have to worry about public approval. He's the project scientist for Mars 2020, the new rover mission, which—if the popularity of the Curiosity rover is any indication—will draw the excited and curious eyes of citizens around the globe.
But what Farley does have to worry about is the mission's overall scientific success. He also has the obligation to meet the "very hard" launch date of 2020—when Mars and Earth are closest in orbit to each other. And he's the guy who must help define the science goals for the mission and determine how to pack an assembly of all-new scientific instruments onto an existing rover.
That rover will be a souped-up version of Curiosity, which still putters along to this day. That's good, says Farley, in that the scientists know they have a proven and reliable platform. "The fundamental design is in place," he says "but our challenge is that there's a whole assembly of new instruments we have to cram onboard."
The overarching mission of the 2020 rover, per NASA, is to "seek the signs of life." Specifically, it has four main objectives, one of which is to prepare the way for human exploration of Mars. To that end, the rover will include a weather station to help scientists better understand the martian atmosphere and an in situ resource utilization (ISRU) instrument, which will be tested for its ability to convert atmospheric carbon dioxide into oxygen, both for future human consumption and for future propellant.
Each Mars mission builds on previous successes and, like the MSL, which launched in 2011, the 2020 rover will perform an extensive exploration of its landing site to understand the geological processes that helped form the surface of the planet. While the Curiosity rover is seeking (and finding!) evidence of habitable conditions, the 2020 mission will seek actual biosignatures— physical structures or molecules that show evidence of past or present life— in the rocks on Mars.
The subject of whether or not there was once life on Mars is certainly a fascinating one, but Farley believes that important questions will arise even if that search fails. "If we bring all the tools to bear on such an environment and don't find signs of life, what does that mean?" he says. "If that's the case, what, then, was the 'spark' that jumpstarted life on our planet?" He notes that some researchers now believe life as we know it on Earth actually originated on Mars.
The biggest challenge of the mission, however, is likely to be the collection and preparation of returnable geologic samples for possible delivery back to Earth by a future mission. The word "returnable," Farley says, has a technical definition—the cache has to meet a series of criteria, and one is that it has to have enough scientific merit to be worth the expense of bringing it back.
"There is some number of samples, probably between 20 and 35, that would make that worth doing," says Farley. "If it's less than that, it may not be worth bringing back. So, in some sense, we have a gun to our heads to collect a large number of samples."
That said, Farley is prepared to be patient. "We've learned from Curiosity that everything takes a long time," he explains. "Driving and drilling takes a long time. That's motivated a lot of the discussion of landing sites. You've got to have targets you wish to drill that are close together, and they can't be a long drive from where you land. But there also has to be diversity because you don't want 15 copies of the same sample." Plus, the Mars 2020 rover has a "warranty" of roughly only a couple of years, Farley says, so it's critical for the rover to be able to collect its samples in that time. He yearns for the speedy rover used by Matt Damon in the movie The Martian. "I wish," he laughs. "We tell the rover to go here, it moves 50 meters, very slowly. Autonomy, and autonomous driving, is a challenge." In 2017, Farley and the other mission scientists will decide exactly where the rover will land. He notes that the proposed sites break roughly into two environments: crater lakes with deltas and hydrothermal sites. "They are the most likely to have ancient life in them and to have preserved the evidence of it," he notes. "But even if we don't find signs of life on Mars, we are likely to bring back rock samples that will have the prebiotic soup," says Farley. "From those we'll be able to ask: What were the chemical building blocks? It's the question of the origin of life, and I find that very exciting."

Knightfall: Ben Affleck Will Not Direct 'The Batman'
If you know anybody who always wanted to direct a Batman movie, now is the perfect time for them to send their resumé to Warner Bros…
Ben Affleck, who plays the superhero Batman in the studio's so-called "DC Extended Universe," was originally slated to both star in and direct the next solo film about the pop culture icon, but in a statement released earlier today to Variety, he has decided to step down.
Also: Let's Rank All Thirty DC Comics Movies!
"There are certain characters who hold a special place in the hearts of millions," Ben Affleck says in his statement. "Performing this role demands focus, passion and the very best performance I can give. It has become clear that I cannot do both jobs to the level they require. Together with the studio, I have decided to find a partner in a director who will collaborate with me on this massive film. I am still in this, and we are making it, but we are currently looking for a director. I remain extremely committed to this project, and look forward to bringing this to life for fans around the world."
So the good news for those who loved Ben Affleck's performance in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is, he's still the man inside the cowl. He just won't be the person in the director's chair, and frankly, that makes sense. Any movie about Batman is bound to be a very large production, and even a director like Affleck – who is used to directing himself in features like The Town, Argo and Live By Night – would understandably decide it's a logistical nightmare to both manage a gigantic set and also perform an incredibly technical performance underneath a heavy costume and very hot lights.
We'll be back with more information when we learn who, exactly, Warner Bros. expects to take Ben Affleck's place as the director of The Batman.

Michael Calce, aka "Mafiaboy," has written a memoir about how he temporarily shut down a handful of major Web sites and led the FBI and Royal Canadian Mounted Police on a manhunt when he was 15.
Due out next week, "Mafiaboy: How I Cracked the Internet and Why It's Still Broken," is a tell-all book and "cautionary tale" about how the teen (now 23) learned to hack from other "online rebels," according to The National Post.
His denial-of-service attack brought down the Web sites of CNN, Yahoo, Amazon.com, eBay, E*Trade Financial, and several others for up to several hours in February 2000. Calce ended up pleading guilty to more than 50 charges.
Meanwhile, another famed and formerly jailed hacker, Kevin Mitnick, is writing a memoir of his own.

During this year's round of ridiculous holiday game sales, you may find yourself poking through dozens of cheap titles. While these games will mostly be shovelware, cheap iPhone ports, or titles with little substance and terrible design that somehow survive by simply being "indie", many of their product descriptions feature a few lines that sound sort of cool.
What if you could take the best blurbs from these cheap games and combine them to describe one title? I'd say the resulting game would be worth at least ten dollars, but you can decide for yourself.

The best version, but watch out for the nasty bug that uninstalls the game if your desktop has a shortcut for all three Bejeweled games in a row. 8/10
Tron: Evolution
My 1980's self never would have imagined I'd say this about Tron, but the movie is better than the video game. 6/10
Raving Rabbids: Travel In Time
The minigames are hit and miss, but the freakout button is almost worth the price of admission. 6/10

A very accurate recreation of Michael Jackson, as most of the music and choreography is great while everything else is best ignored. 3/10
In these contentious political times it is more important than ever to work together in a bipartisan way with the people who said I should be thrown out of a helicopter for being an Antifa terrorist.

If you are looking for a SEO firm, you will find many conflicting information on how you should choose the best one. If you rely on the internet for your business, you may not afford to trust the success of your business to anyone. Time also is scarce since everyday is a time to optimize for the website, to get more funds for your SEO needs and to try your best to stay on a top of your competitors.
What To Expect From A SEO Company?
While choosing the best SEO firm, keep in mind things that may show you that you are choosing the right firm or not. Unlike what people believe in, it is easy to get affordable, efficient and effective SEO firm. The best firm should be able to work for different companies regardless of their sizes. It has to be able to optimize the website effectively from one page up to 1000. The firm has to be clear about how to improve the page rank of the websites and how to get a good position in the search engine. "The keywords are important to your site and they are the way that you can improve your SEO campaign", says Mark Twain, a senior SEO consultant in Los Angeles. The best firm has to analyze your keywords before optimizing them and to suggest the alternatives methods when necessary.
Any SEO firm understands the need to have links on a website, regardless if they are reciprocal or one way link. This is why they should do advanced analysis on your websites to know the linking structure in order to improve it. The customer care of the firm has to be good since you need to have the expert advice which you can access anytime of the day. Whenever someone has a problem with his website, he needs to get answers at once and this is why the best firm should be able to offer the answers whenever you need it. The customer care of a firm shows how reliable the firm is going to be.
The SEO Company Should Keep Time
Time is important for your website. If the firm cannot keep within time, then the entire project is going to fail. The best firm should be able to work on your campaign for a long time without having to come back to you often to get guidance. You have to be free so that you can work on other projects that may need your attention.
The firm should help you to save with better pricing. The firm has to be competitively priced and you have to compare the value of their SEO services with the price that you may be paying. The price has to be reasonable and it should not be too cheap or too expensive. You should also consider the reporting and communication areas of the company.

In sales, we are confronted with objections, pretexts, and conditions day in and day out. "Sales 101," I hear you say. True. But my point is: Do you really know how to distinguish these three? Even more importantly, are you able to identify them in a negotiation? And do you know how to react in each case? I believe that this is where many sales professionals can up their game.
Understanding the Differences
A condition is an objective, measurable, reasonable, and understandable factor that describes the demands made on your offer. If you're building a house and the building code for your subdivision only allows for black roof tiles, then despite the many shades of red tiling your hardware store carries, you simply won't buy any from them, not even if they're giving them out for free. The condition is: Roof tiles must be black.
A pretext is an emotional reaction from your customer regarding your offer. Out of fear or diplomacy she employs a contrived argument to reject your offer. Every pretext is an objection in disguise. For example, your customer may claim that she currently does not have the budget to buy your product. If this is a pretext, then there are other motives at work. If, in fact, it isn't really a question of budget, then the customer will come up with yet another pretext as soon as you try to address the first one by offering financing or leasing options, for example.
An objection is a subjective argument against your offer. It can arise from information about the product, or it is an indication that the offer is incomplete, missing, or misconstrued. But one thing is clear: A customer who raises an objection is in no way a customer that you are about to lose. On the contrary: An objection is proof for the fact that the customer is considering your offer. Whomever considers an offer is showing interest, and eliciting interest is half the battle.
How to Deal With Conditions and Pretexts
As far as conditions are concerned, you will not be able to make any significant changes. A customer who is looking to buy a tour bus will not buy a convertible even from the best salesperson around, unless perhaps as a second car.
Pretexts cannot be neutralised, and you shouldn't attempt to do so. A customer who employs a pretext is doing so as a defence mechanism. If you should try to strip the customer of this pretext, you will leave her exposed and embarrassed. Use a series of questions instead to find out what the underlying objection really is.
The easiest way is to start a question such as, "Assuming budget was not an issue, then you would..."
Allow the incomplete question to hover noncommittally for a moment, and the ball will now be in your customer's court. She might then play the ball right back, saying, "Then I wouldn't buy it either."
To which you would say, "Then there must be another reason for this, and that is..."
Finally, the customer shows her hand: "Well, it's that your product doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to its durability."
And there you have it. That's how you manage to coax out the real objection without embarrassing the customer. Objections are something you can work with.
Objection Handling: Play Where the Puck is Going to Be
Here comes the hard truth: Objection handling is a lot of work. It is something you learn as you would a foreign language. It takes weeks, months, or even years. A top sales professional learns his terms, expressions, phrases, and arguments by heart.
Starting out as a young salesman I thought my gift of gab would see me through this process naturally. I thought, "I'm my own person, and I can rely on my own ways of doing this." Wrong. There is just no way around learning and memorising these techniques.
But don't be misled: The goal here is not to cram in as many phrases as you can and reel them off to your customer. Rather, the aim is to enrich your sales arsenal to such an extent that with any customer, in any possible situation, confronted with any imaginable objection, you are armed with two or three fitting and well-suited answers at your fingertips. Fitting and well-suited here means relative to the situation, the customer, and your own personality.
It's just like former NHL player and head coach Wayne Gretzky used to say, "A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be."

ALHAMBRA – Former Fire Chief Bruce Stedman, who left his post to head the fire department in Arlington, Wa., received a final paycheck of $45,828.
The amount includes 257 hours of accrued vacation, 57 hours of overtime, 224 hours of accrued sick leave, and 6 hours of accrued holiday pay, said Clara Wong, interim city finance director.
While Stedman has 964 hours of sick leave, city policy allowed for him to be paid only for 224 hours.
Stedman, 51, served for over 30 years and first joined the department as a firefighter in 1979.
Interim Fire Chief Vincent Kemp, who previously served as chief and officially retired in May 2008, takes over until a permanent replacement is found.
Before serving as chief, Kemp was training and safety officer for the Alhambra Fire Department.
Stedman was promoted to deputy fire chief in 2006 and had served as the city's fire chief since October 2008.
His last day with the Alhambra Fire Department was Nov. 19.
"I've got another opportunity," Stedman said in an interview last month. "I've put in 31.5 years with the city of Alhambra. I think it's a good time to retire."
Stedman was one of more than 40 applicants for the Arlington, Wa., position and one of five finalists who underwent "a long and rigorous hiring process," including multiple interviews by council members, community members and city staff, according to a news release sent out by Arlington officials.
Stedman said the move will allow him to avoid difficult commutes to work. He'll also be closer to family members who live in the Evergreen State.
"I spend about 13 hours a week in traffic," he said. "That's pretty difficult and…I've got a brother and sister in Washington that I look forward to spending time with."
City Manager Julio Fuentes said Stedman exercised good leadership and was "very creative and innovative" during his tenure.
Stedman was instrumental in securing and administering a $1.17 million grant to acquire training equipment for the city's Fire Training Center, a state-certified urban search and rescue training facility that opened in March.
He is due to start his new job in Washington on Dec. 6.
Fuentes said he will start looking for an interim fire chief, either internally or externally to fill the vacancy.
"With all the amenities we have in terms of equipment and training opportunities available here…it won't be difficult to find someone," Fuentes said.

Home > Services > Cancer Care > Prostate Cancer > Detection, Diagnosis and Staging
Prostate cancer rarely causes any symptoms until it has progressed to an incurable stage. As a result, the best way to diagnose prostate cancer is through screening during an annual physical examination. Screening involves a digital rectal exam (finger exam) and a prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network currently recommends men age 45 and older should consider being screened for prostate cancer. Patients with relatives who have prostate cancer and African-American patients are at higher risk. If either the digital rectal exam or PSA is abnormal, a prostate biopsy is performed to determine if cancer is present.
The digital rectal examination can detect cancer and determine whether it is confined to the prostate. Because the prostate lies in front of the rectum, a physician can feel the prostate by inserting a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum. Many times, early cancers are not able to be felt by rectal examination because they are too small.
Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by both normal and cancerous prostate cancer cells. When prostate cancer grows or when other prostate diseases are present, the amount of PSA detected in the blood often increases. Currently, an increased PSA level is the most common way to detect prostate cancer.
First, a transrectal ultrasound of the prostate is performed to examine the prostate. Ultrasonography allows the urologist to measure the size of the prostate and see if there are any suspicious areas. The urologist also uses the ultrasound to direct a local anesthetic into the prostate area to numb it before the prostate biopsy. A spring-loaded needle is then placed through the ultrasound probe, and then, using the ultrasound to target certain areas of the prostate, 10 to 14 biopsies are typically performed. Each biopsy removes a small core of tissue, which are then examined under a microscope to see if prostate cancer cells are present.
A pathologist named Donald Gleason described the grading system for prostate cancer based on the pattern of cancer cells, and this is now called the Gleason score. The Gleason score reflects how aggressive the prostate cancer is likely to behave. Each area of prostate cancer is graded on a numeric scale of 1 to 5 (with 5 being the most aggressive). The pathologist looks at all of the biopsies and then assigns a grade to the two most common patterns seen. These two grades are then added together to determine the Gleason score or Gleason sum. Therefore, the resulting Gleason score will always be a number between 2 to 10 (e.g., 3 + 4 = 7/10). These days, it is rare to see cancers with a score of 2 to 5. Most cancers are either a 6 or higher. The higher the number, the more aggressive the prostate cancer is anticipated to behave.
Stage refers to whether cancer is confined to the prostate or appears to have spread to other areas of the body. For most men with early cancers, there's such a low chance of having cancer elsewhere in the body that further testing is not typically warranted. However, there are several tests that may be useful in determining tumor stage, including:
Clinical tumor stage refers to whether or not the tumor can be palpated or felt on exam and whether it may have spread outside the prostate. The tumor-node-metastasis system (TNM) is used to designate the clinical stage.
The information below is from the American Joint Committee on Cancer, 7th edition, 2010
Prostate cancers can be classified based on clinical stage, PSA level and Gleason score into risk categories. This is important for deciding what treatments may be most appropriate. Also, it is useful for determining long term prognosis.

Cape Town - New research released by global travel technology provider Sabre Corporation has revealed that African air travel spend is expected to rise 24 percent with the introduction of the pan-African passport in 2018.
The new passport will enable African travellers to visit other countries on the continent without a visa.
The comprehensive survey by Sabre aimed to uncover the opportunities and challenges faced by African travellers today, in a bid to help airlines address these to support their own growth and provide travellers a better journey.
Travellers from four countries – South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and Egypt were surveyed, with those having flown in the past 24 months saying they would spend 24 percent more with the introduction of the passport (from $1 100 to $1 500 annually).
But despite a willingness among travellers to spend more on flights, travel in Africa still remains inaccessible to the majority, with only 23 percent of those surveyed having travelled abroad at all in the last two years.
When asked what prevents them from travelling more, the top reasons were:
* 32% said travel is too expensive
* 31% said it is difficult obtaining visas
* 30% said it is too difficult to book travel
& 28% said there are no flights to their chosen destination
Travellers also expressed a number of gripes about their current experiences when travelling:
* 27% said the check-in process takes too long
* 22% said the check-in procedure is confusing
* 20% don't like the food on aircrafts
* 19% think there is not enough to do at the airport
"The results suggest that while travel is inaccessible to many and is difficult for those that do travel, there is a still a strong desire to travel more," said Dino Gelmetti, vice president, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Airline Solutions, Sabre.
"Additionally, most of the pain points can be addressed by airlines, and these tweaks could make all the difference to travellers. African carriers currently face tough competition from international rivals that control 88 percent of African airspace but, as demand for travel increases, African airlines have a real opportunity to win the lion's share of bookings by addressing the pain points of travellers and going the extra mile to improve their experience."
Like many other travellers globally, Africans also expressed a strong interest in experiencing a travel journey that was more personalised and tailored towards them.
Respondents said that they would be willing to spend up to $104 per trip on an airline's extra products and services – such as excess baggage, cabin class upgrades, and special food and beverage – if it improved and personalised their journey.
As further encouragement for African carriers, Sabre's survey respondents stated a number of reasons why people would choose to fly with their local carrier over a foreign airline; the top three reasons were:
* It offered cheaper tickets
* It offered the latest technology on board
* It offered greater comfort on board.

Real Madrid beats Basel 5-1 in Champions League
MADRID (AP) — Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale took center stage as Real Madrid opened the defense of its Champions League title with a swaggering 5-1 rout of Basel in Group B on Tuesday.
Having ended its 12-year wait for a 10th European Cup last season, Madrid started the long road back to the final with a Basel own-goal and strikes by Bale, Ronaldo, James Rodriguez and Karim Benzema.
The victory provided a much-needed lift for fans and coach Carlo Ancelotti, who had faced a hail of criticism after his side lost 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu against bitter crosstown rivals Atletico Madrid on Saturday.
"I liked the team's reaction, I think the Bernabeu was happy," Ancelotti said.
Although the pressure eased on captain Iker Casillas, who was jeered during the Atletico match, the goalkeeper received both cheers and whistles during Tuesday's match.
Basel began by threading together an attack within the first three minutes but it was easily cleared by Madrid's defense, although the crowd jeered as Casillas touched the ball.
Three minutes later it was all cheers as Casillas easily stopped a shot by Muhamed Elneny. After a swift counterattack, Ronaldo missed the target at the other end - though the breakthrough was not long in coming.
As Madrid attacked down the right, Rodriguez fed the ball through to Jose "Nacho" Fernandez, whose powerful shot was deflected by Basel defender Marek Suchy into his own net in the 14th minute.
Casillas was loudly jeered in the 22nd minute when he took his time to kick the ball into play from the penalty area.
Madrid kept up the pressure at the other end and Bale made a surging run forward to receive Luka Modric's beautifully-weighted pass through the Basel defense in the 30th minute. The Welshman lifted the ball over goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik's head before darting past him to steer the ball into the empty net.
Just a minute later, Bale provided a low cross from the right for Ronaldo to score their side's third goal of the night and effectively put the match beyond Basel's reach.
Ronaldo then followed up by helping Madrid to score again in the 37th. The Portugal forward picked out Benzema for a shot which Vaclik only managed to parry - allowing Rodriguez to pounce on the loose ball.
A minute later, Derlis Gonzalez pulled one back for Basel after a darting run forward on the break ended with a powerful shot into the corner.
Madrid faced an awkward moment when a backpass by Modric was seized on by Marco Streller, who forced Casillas to save in the 39th. Six minutes later, Gonzalez almost surprised a badly-placed Casillas when he hit a blistering first-time volley over the bar.
However, Casillas ended a period of pressure by Basel by saving Luca Suffi's shot in the 51st and was given an ovation in the 67th when he saved an effort from Gonzalez.
Basel was unlucky in the 76th minute when Fabian Schar's powerful shot bounced off the post with a beaten Casillas only able to watch.
"It was a pleasure for me to begin my Champions coaching career against the European champions. I want to be a protagonist, and I think my team was at times also a protagonist on the field," Basel coach Paulo Sousa said. "After it lost two games in a row, I guess we were expecting something big from Madrid."
Benzema made it five in the 79th after an exchange of short passes with Ronaldo ended with the France international blasting home his shot off the underside of the bar to seal a comfortable victory.
In the other Group B game, Liverpool beat Ludogorets 2-1 at Anfield.

First times can be stressful, especially for two people who are meeting on a blind date. Joe, 28, had the jitters as he waited for Mallory, 27, at American eatery Harding's in the Flatiron District. Meanwhile, Mallory made advance plans to meet for drinks with her friends in case the date went badly. But, like many first times, things turned out to be nothing like Mallory and Joe expected.
I sat at the bar while waiting for Mallory. When she arrived, the hostess brought me over. Considering this was my first blind date ever, I was a little nervous. But once we sat down and talked, the conversation was flowing.
Mallory was nice, with a good sense of humor, but conversation may have come too easy. The vibe had the feel of when I go out for drinks with friends.
As for Harding's, it's a great spot. My food was great — the Berkshire pork especially. The service was really attentive, too.
At the end of the evening, we were going in opposite directions to get home, so we hugged goodbye and exchanged numbers. I had a nice time with Mallory, and it would be cool to hang out with her again.
Heading to the restaurant, I was anxious about how awkward it was going to be. I had plans to meet some friends later for drinks in case the night went south.
But then I met Joe. I found him attractive and became nervous. I realized that this might go well — and not end in a funny story to tell.
Joe and I have different backgrounds, but our personalities are compatible. We talked a lot, but I didn't notice any awkward silences between us.
I've gone out with some bad guys lately, and it was refreshing to be with someone so . . . nice! I had a great time. We exchanged numbers at the end of the night, and I hope that he calls (or texts, which I guess is what the kids are doing these days).
WIN A DATE! Let The Post hook you up and send you out on the town. Enjoy a date worth $150. Email us at email@example.com for details.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14 (UPI) -- A New York performance artist and activist for women's topless rights shed her shirt outside of the courthouse after having charges against her dismissed.
Holly Van Voast, 46, who was arrested for trespassing, disorderly conduct and pot possession after she went topless inside St. Patrick's Cathedral Jan. 30 of last year, had the charges dismissed Wednesday and took off her shirt upon exiting the courthouse, the New York Daily News reported Thursday.
Ron Kuby, Van Voast's lawyer, said the conditional dismissal also included two other shirtless arrests, one on the D train May 7 for occupying multiple seats and one June 7 on the L train for interfering with passenger movement, disorderly conduct and occupying multiple seats. The dismissal "covers all of Ms. Van Voast's outstanding busts," Kuby was quoted as saying.
Van Vost, who had a drawn-on black mustache during Wednesday's court appearance, said she kept her breasts covered inside the courtroom because she's "not an exhibitionist."
It is legal for women to go topless in New York City.

Registration will take place at the Convocation, Wednesday, September 15 at 10:00 AM at the ICC. Each course description includes, beneath the title, the person who is presenter or facilitator. Below the paragraph is the name of the course coordinator who makes the arrangements and has responsibility for carrying out details of the class.
8 Mondays 10:00-Noon Sep 20, 27, Oct 4, 18, 25, Nov 1, 8, 15 Presenter: Bob Forrant
This course examines the causes and consequences of the American Civil War, from the 1840s to 1877. We will read about and discuss the coming of the war and how it transformed American society. We will also look at the unresolved issue of racial equality at the end of reconstruction and how this shaped the nation's history ever since. Thematically we will consider: slavery's expansion, Lincoln and emancipation, and the political and social challenges of Reconstruction. We will also carefully consider the case of Lowell in the run up to the war and in the war itself. Its contradictory position with an economy dependent on slave-produced cotton and as a hotbed of anti-slavery sentiment along with the fact that the first two Union soldiers to die in the war were from Lowell will be examined. All that, and we will have a good time! Two books are recommended for reading prior to the course:

Presenter: Frank Carroll*
Shakespeare's Henry V will be our play for the fall semester. Had we looked at Henry V by itself without first reading Henry IV Parts one and two, we would have had a body without a head, as it were. Now the third play in the series will spring naturally from its two predecessors. After the memorable reporting of Falstaff's death, we will miss that famous comic character, but we are provided with a host of others who provide comic relief. A most interesting difference in this play from its predecessors is Shakespeare's use of the Chorus which bridges over the gaps of time and interprets matter that cannot easily be presented on the stage. As usual, the text for the class is the play itself and we all look forward not only to drama, but history also, and history as only the Bard could tell it.

7 Tuesdays 10:00–Noon Sept 21, 28, Oct 5, 12, 19, 26, Nov 2
Facilitator: Alan Kent*
This course will give you the background to many of today's headlines. How does DNA instruct a single cell to create a human being? How does this affect a life? The course provides a foundation for understanding how life works. It began in the spring with an overview of core principles--basic but understandable. The series continues with exploration of the human genome and how it accounts for heredity and disease. The fall study group will cover lectures 13-24. It is not necessary to have attended the spring series in order to profit from the final 12 lectures. The DVDs and video tapes are available, however, if anyone wishes to watch any or all of lectures 1-12 to catch up or to refresh what was learned in the spring.
Coordinator: Mary Willis*
7 Tuesdays 12:30-2:30 Sep 21, 28, Oct 5, 12, 19, 26, Nov 2 Facilitator: Toby Hodes*
At a time when religion and religious issues seem to be a part of every issue we deal with on both the national and international scene, it seems more and more important to learn all we can about this seemingly powerful force and its impact on the world. This course will offer us the opportunity to get a handle on some of the key issues of religion itself and on how the five major religions – Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism – address some of the same core issues in parallel and different ways. We will view two half-hour lectures at each meeting and discuss after each one some of the issues and ideas raised. The fall study group will cover lectures 13-24. It is not necessary to have attended the spring series in order to profit from the final 12 lectures. The DVDs are available, however, if anyone wishes to watch any or all of lectures 1-12 to catch up or to refresh what was learned in the spring.

Born in Munich, Germany, Sebastian Beck earns his living as an editor and reporter for the acclaimed Süddeutsche Zeitung, Munich's largest and best-known newspaper that enjoys nationwide distribution and an international reputation. Here, he shares a series of images taken with the Leica Q in the town of Altoetting, Bavaria, documenting one of the oldest pilgrimage chapels.
I took these photos between November 2015 and August 2016 in the pilgrimage town Altoetting, Bavaria. I exclusively used the Leica Q for it, because it works in low light, has an almost perfect color balance and is totally silent. This is a precondition for working in a place like that. The sound of a shutter would attract the attention of the people und destroy the scenery.
Altoetting is the spiritual heart of catholic Bavaria. The small chapel in the center of the town was erected around the year 700 – so it is 1300 years old and one of the oldest buildings in Bavaria. The chapel also houses silver urns immortalizing the hearts of Bavarian kings and prince-electors. Altötting is only 70 kilometers in the east of Munich, but it seems to be on another planet. I was always dreaming of documenting buddhist spirituality in Bhutan. By instance I made a stop in Altötting in August 2015 – the first time after many many years. I was absolutely fascinated by the scenery, but unfortunately cameras are not allowed in the sanctuary, so I took some pictures secretly…For weeks later I got me a permission by the diocese and started a long term photo project. For me it was like rediscovering the the myths of my childhood. I found out, that you don't need to travel to Bhutan to document spirituality. Sometimes you just have to make a step backwards and look at your home with the eyes of a stranger.

The Founding Fathers created the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard to protect us from arbitrary denial of our freedoms. That the motivation is not to punish doesn't change the effect on the individual, the denial of freedom. So the standard "not dangerously insane until proven dangerously insane" should be used and that standard is lagging currently. The exact same burden of proof ought to be used and the person should be entitled to a full jury trial. Locking up a bunch of sane or harmless mentally ill in order to reduce violence isn't worth it.
We also have to be careful about what we really know. People will read things in the media and then pretend to just know things. Stop and think "where did I learn that from?" Mental illnesses often have shockingly broad criteria if you read about them. Parents eager to avoid responsibility look for labels for their children, children internalize the labels, believe it is then, surrender to it. We may be making "mental illness" in some individuals or exacerbating it by suggesting they are mentally ill. Beliefs are powerful and can rewire the brain given enough time. Look at those commercials on TV pushing antidepressants and showing happy, carefree people. They deliberately try to recruit people who have the blues over to thinking they have major depression. Another problem with current psychiatry is the overfocus on brain chemistry. Recently a psychiatrist had a brain scan done and found that it looked the same as a psychopath. That doesn't mean that the psychiatrist is a psychopath(unless we are defining the term based on brain chemistry, but then the implication would be that a person can be a good psychopath and it's not automatically a disorder), it means that likely psychopathy is not genetic or biological, rather a personality type, a sort of ruthless go-getter personality type when exposed to bad environmental influences channels their drive and ambition into evil pursuits, with the implication that the same sort of chemistry under completely different circumstances could even yield a saint. Further implication is what if the brain chemistry underlying depression is not in fact for depression but is for some personality type that under exposure to current social conditions tends towards depression? Psychiatric researchers wrongfully conclude any time a study is taken on brain chemistry that the brain chemistry is the direct cause rather than indirect. This assumption is made in spite of the evidence leaving open the indirect cause possibility and since it won't make money for Big Pharma if it turns out to be indirect because then people will have to deal with their problems the old-fashioned way instead of trying to change themselves with pills, then the psychiatric researchers are unlikely to undertake any amount of studies in order to tell whether it's direct or indirect. It's easier for their careers and money to just assume it's direct.
Anything that would improve the mental health system would also reduce violence. But we need much more than that to reduce violence. We can't just react to the assaults that are done by mentally ill people and consider the case closed. Our society is far too violent, and either we are all mentally ill, or mental illness is not the root cause. I tend to think of violence as a social disease, and think that we need to address the illness on a community level.
We have a woefully funded mental health system, and a lot of people slip through the cracks. These people that go on shooting rampages obviously have something severely wrong with them, and more than one has been diagnosed with a serious mental illness.
Perhaps if we had a system that was better equipped to give them therapy and life coaching, part of that meaning we make our mental health laws more robust and comprehensive, we would have less violence due to mental health issues.
Violence in the United States of America is one of our largest societal issues. It is fair for us as a country to want to focus on minimizing this violence as much as possible. With violence having much of its roots in mental illness, it is only logical to want to combat violence through the use of mental health laws.
To think that all violence is rooted in mental health problems is both presumptuous and incorrect. While mental illness is a large problem in this country, there are more constructive ways to combat violence aside from making mental health the main focus. Violent television for example could be looked at a bit more closely.

Apple has confirmed the new iPad Pro will go on sale this week. The capacious tablet will be up for grabs online from Wednesday, with high street stores getting the device later in the week.
Apple has also announced UK pricing for the device. The entry–level 32GB, Wi–Fi only model will cost £679. That rises to £899 for the 128GB model with Wi–Fi and mobile data access.
The iPad Pro's big draw lies not just in its 12.9–inch screen, but also the accessories Apple is offering alongside it. The company broke with Steve Jobs' maxim of 'if you see a stylus, they blew it', and revealed the Apple Pencil when the slate was launched back in September.
It is also offering a Smart Keyboard, which folds out and allows the iPad Pro to be used as a laptop, much like rival Microsoft's Surface.
The Apple Pencil is set to cost £79, with the Smart Keyboard coming in at £139. Those opting for the 128GB model who want both accessories will therefore pay £1,117 for the complete package. By comparison, an entry–level MacBook Air with the same storage costs £749.
Other iPad Pro specs include Apple's A9X processor, Retina Display tech and 10 hours of battery life.
Apple is launching the device simultaneously in 40 countries, including China where it has seen huge growth in the last year.


text: CADILLAC, Mich. (AP) -- The lawyer for a man whose wife was killed in a 140-foot fall at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore says the death was a "tragic and terrible accident" and says his client was not involved in it. Juanita Richardson, 43, of McBain, died June 22 after falling from the cliff along the Lake Superior shoreline park in the Upper Peninsula, east of Munising, Mich. She was vacationing with her husband Thomas. The FBI, National Park Service police, state police, Alger County Sheriff's Department and others formed a task force to investigate the death. On Monday, investigators released a photo of a group of women teachers they said may have seen something that could help with the case. They asked for help in contacting the women. "We believe the ladies were at the park that day and they witnessed the Richardsons there," state police Detective Sgt. Jeff Herweyer told the Cadillac News. "We believe they made some observations that will be very helpful." Thomas Richardson's lawyer, Jason J. Elmore, said in a statement that his client has cooperated in the investigation.


text: In a world filled with hatred and division, we can all agree on one thing: The only books worth reading are the ones blurbed by "Weird Al" Yankovic. The State comedy troupe — including David Wain, Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and the rest of your favorite writers and performers — is releasing an oral history titled Union of the State on May 3. The 11-person group has a quarter-century of comedy under their belts, having formed while undergrads at NYU. "The members of the State are my heroes, my peers and my friends. Individually and collectively they are responsible for an impressively large percentage of everything funny that currently exists in the world. For comedy nerds like me, it's essential reading," says Yankovic, which, again, is the litmus by which you should determine the value of the written word.

"Zatanna" Arrives At Last
Fans of DC Comics resident spell-caster will most likely shout "Yllanif!" as the publisher today confirmed via its blog The Source that "Zatanna," the long-rumored ongoing comic series centering on the titular magician by writer Paul Dini, will become a reality in May.
Frequent DC cover artist Stephane Roux steps onto the book with Dini, who's publicly had the character in his sights for many years. Dini explained that, "Though a lot about Zatanna's world is new, it is still firmly rooted in the DC Universe. She's still a JLA member, and that will play into her stories now and then. Also, I plan to explore her somewhat dicey relationship with her younger cousin, Zachary Zatara. I saw a good chance to inject some family discord there, so when I was developing the book, I ran some ideas by Geoff Johns. He created Zach, so I wanted to get his okay before I shook things up. Luckily Geoff was cool with what I wanted to do, so readers can expect to see Zach becoming a permanent part of Zee's world."
Additional commentary on the new series from both writer and artist as well as more preview pages can be found at The Source. Check back to CBR for more information on "Zatanna" as it becomes available.

Before actually meeting, we spoke a few times on the phone. My goal was to help them prepare their new boat for cruising south- new flares, electronic updates, spare fuel filters and spare impellers for the sea water cooling system on the engines. Wednesday morning we start with a review of the vessel systems since this is a new boat to both them and myself. We wanted to be prepared just in case we heard a strange noise we would know how to access that area of the boat. Below decks we reviewed the propulsion systems, generator system, battery charger, air conditioners, fresh water and black water layout. On deck we walked around checking the dock lines, fenders, boat pole locations and anchor launch and recovery. Next we cover the GPS Chartplotter, radio procedures and other electronics (no RADAR on this boat) and decide the boat is fine for our cruise south to Palm Beach.
As an American I always learned Red Right Returning from Sea. Well, Ursula and Manfred are Europeans and in Europe it is different. We best spend a little time learning the US System so we wont have any surprises on our trip south.
Before we cast off we must do a pump out and fuel up, then we point the bow south and cruise on into the afternoon. The weather was blowing like stink and we were fortunate to be in the protected waters of the ICW. Other than a little spray on the windshield we only had windburn on our faces to show at the days end
. that is the parts that were not covered by a hat, sunglasses or beard. So I guess I had a red nose and cheeks.
Our first evening is docked at the Marriott Marina on South Hutchinson Island near Stuart. Many of you may know this marina as hosting the Trawler Fest a few years ago before moving from Stuart to Fort Lauderdale. We had an easy time of docking bow into a 20 knot wind and then securing the boat for the night. The boat is going as deck freight to Europe soon so provisions were sparse. Time to head up to the hotel restaurant for dinner. Early Thursday morning we continue our cruise south and enjoy the quiet protected waters of the Florida ICW. Because of the more narrow channel we could not feel the wind but it was there, all 20 knots of it. We enter the Crossroads, see the dredge operating at the St. Lucie Inlet, pass Pecks Lake a popular anchorage to dinghy and walk to the beach. But we dont have time to stop today so we press on through Hobe Sound, Jupiter Lighthouse and a few more bridges. We can now feel the 20 knot winds as we enter the top of North Lake Worth and the waterway widens. We veer left and steer east into the channel heading into Old Port Cove Marina, an AGLCA Great Loop Sponsor and home for the boat until the transport ship arrives in port.
Great trip, good weather although a little windy and wonderful new friends. Check out the photos below for a sneak peek at the Isuzu Engine room.

Dried Plum and Ginger Wontons
Chef Martin Yan created these dried plum-filled dessert wontons especially for the California Dried Plum Board.
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
6 dried plums, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons chopped crystallized ginger
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
2 teaspoons butter, softened
24 wonton wrappers
Water, as needed
Cooking oil, for frying
Powdered sugar (optional)
In small bowl, combine walnuts, dried plums, ginger, lemon peel and butter until well mixed. For each wonton, brush 1 wrapper with water. Place 1 teaspoon dried plum mixture onto center. Fold diagonally in half to form a triangle; seal edge, pressing to remove any air pockets. Pull together two opposite corners to overlap, pressing to seal. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers. To prevent drying, cover filled wontons with a dry towel.
In wok or 2-quart saucepan, heat oil to 375ºF. Add wontons, a few at a time; fry 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Serve hot or cold sprinkled with powdered sugar, if desired.
