NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Bob Lutz is out as CMO at General Motors Co., three days after the departure of CEO Fritz Henderson, as the automaker's government-appointed chairman, Ed Whitacre, wastes little time shaking up management. Succeeding Mr. Lutz in the post is Susan Docherty, VP-sales for North America, who keeps that responsibility as well as oversight of service operations. Mr. Lutz remains vice chairman and will be an adviser to Mr. Whitacre on design and global product development.
Mr. Lutz had publicly criticized work Ms. Docherty approved for Buick that was based on a photo shoot created by independent agency Topolewski, Ferndale, Mich. "That Buick commercial tested very well, which is not the same as saying that it's an effective ad," Mr. Lutz said in a live web chat this summer. Ms. Docherty was general manager of Buick-GMC division.
Mr. Whitacre, 67, announced the changes today, saying in a statement, "I want to give people more responsibility and authority deeper in the organization and then hold them accountable." He added, "We've realigned our leadership duties and responsibilities to help us meet our mission to design, build and sell the world's best vehicles."
GM said he would not be available for further comment until next Tuesday, when he will host a conference call with a business update. But the Texan, who could remain interim CEO for up to a year, according to The Wall Street Journal, is clearly trying to create a sense of urgency to move GM forward and shake its stodgy, insular corporate culture. Industry observers have noted that despite its reorganization, it seemed like business as usual at GM, and wondered how radically the culture could change with the same longtime players in place.
GM's VP-marketing, sales and service position had been vacant since July, when a reorganized GM exited Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and Mr. Henderson split the sales and marketing organizations, moving Mark LaNeve from the post to VP-sales. Mr. LaNeve left GM in October to join insurer Allstate as CMO.
Ms. Docherty is part of what insiders call the "Cadillac mafia," a group of fast-track GM vets who worked on the luxury marque during its product renaissance earlier this decade. She had been marketing director and brand manager of the Cadillac Escalade SUV during that era before being named general manager-Hummer in 2004. In fall 2006, she moved to California as general manager of GM's Western region before moving back to Detroit in summer of 2008 to head what was then Buick-Pontiac-GMC.

Fishing with World Series winning Phillies
Shortstop Eric Bruntlett (continued)
the rest of the crew fished jerkbaits Cal continued to toss swimbaits of
different types. As usual Cal didn't want to mess with small fish and used
swimbaits as his natural culling tool, deciding he would rather go big than try
and catch small fish. Eric landed his forth fish before any of us had any luck,
and he did with a Lucky Craft Staysee. The fish barely got any of the bait and
was actually hooked on the outside of his left cheek.
JIP doesn't give the second fish a
chance to get away
JIP finally broke the TT
bad streak when he landed a fish with a Jackall squad minnow, it was nothing
like the fish he had lost in the morning but we weren't in any position to be
picky. Leo decided it was time to get back to the basics and tied a drop shot
rig, there was no way he was going to go home with another skunk on the record!

With the slow fishing
Zander had plenty of time to talk to Eric. "I guess it goes without saying the
World Series was pretty amazing huh?" Zander asked. "It was incredible, one of
those once in a lifetime moments," Eric replied. "When I'm not playing baseball
fishing really is one of my favorite things to do. I try and get out as much as
I can, and when I do Clear Lake is my first choice." The more Zander talked
about baseball the more Eric talked about tackle and fishing. It was clear that
while Eric loved playing baseball he also loved fishing, and could spout all his
favorite tackle brands and techniques without even pausing.
Looking for an underwater edge
Eric prepares to drop a buoy marker
His favorite rod was the
original Kistler Helium series, and he really likes the light weight and
sensitive blanks on those rods. He fishes a complete range of reels but when
asked what his favorite was he narrowed it down to Daiwa, "they just feel really
smooth and refined," he said. Then when asked what his favorite technique was he
had to stop and think. "The way we are fishing with plastics right now isn't my
favorite way to get them, given the choice I would prefer to use hardbaits like
ripbaits and cranks, but in the winter you do whatever gets the fish," Eric

The fishing continued to
be tough through the next hour and with nobody pulling another fish we decided
to break for lunch. With boats side by side Cal reached into his bag and pulled
out a number of new lures including a yet to be released Mattlures Bass

While Eric liked the baits
he was more interested in Cal's enthusiast rod and reel rigs and proceeded to
try casting them one by one. When told the prices of some of the rigs he put

right?" Cal responded "they don't call me the dark lord of tackle for nothing."

Super Dodge Ball (Arcade)

DescriptionAnother Dodge Ball game featuring the Nekketsu Kunio Kun by Technos, who partnered with SNK to deliver an entirely next-gen version of their classic arcade/sports hit.
Super Dodge Ball uses the same basic gameplay used in the other games in the series with some minor differences. The game puts you in control of a team of 3 characters (with you controlling the lead character or the one with the ball at the time) that must defeat a selection of other teams in order to become the champion. This time around the teams are all formed by characters from the Nekketsu Kunio Kun universe, each representing different suburbs of Tokyo that compete in an amusement park for the ultimate title.
You can mix and match characters from the different teams (and even edit the team as you advance in the tournament, by adding defeated characters to the roster). Each character has their unique stats and special moves, which now depend on a power bar that can be charged-up by holding both attack buttons.
The most important difference in this game and the rest of the series is the new graphical look courtesy of the Neo Geo hardware. The character design is much more elaborated with larger than ever sprites and more frames of animation per character while keeping the semi- Super Deformed look of the series. Camera effects such as zoom/scaling and shaking are also added to the mix, and special attacks have much more spectacular effects than before. Digitized samples are used to provide in-game voices and taunts, and the entire interface and general design of the game has been jazzed up to resemble more of a big-time SNK fighting game.

Release historyWhile the game was developed in Japan at Technos' Niigata studio, and has a Japanese title screen and complete Japanese text, it never actually saw official release in Japan. With the NeoGeo's greater popularity in North America, it saw a US arcade release in limited quantities in early 1996, but Technos Japan's bankruptcy shortly after nixed any plans for a Japanese release or a home AES version. There are however numerous bootleg conversions, including professional-looking AES packages with covers, so buyer beware.
The game did, however, see a limited location test in Japan, with a curious story behind it. During development, the team wanted to use the original arcade version of Super Dodge Ball as a reference, but discovered that there wasn't a single copy of it at either the Niigata office, the Tokyo office, or even the US office. They wound up borrowing a board from a local game shop, and the new game was later tested there, making it the only place it could be officially played in Japan. To thank him for his help, Technos made a custom Game Boy cartridge as a gift to the store's owner, which contained a modified version of Downtown Special: Kunio-kun no Jidaigeki da yo - Zenin Shūgō! called JIDAIGEKI.

#4793 closed Bugs (fixed)
copy_component does not work for graphs with edges.
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Jeremiah Willcock
|To Be Determined
|Boost 1.44.0
copy_component operates via a BFS visitor. The visitor adds vertices in examine_vertex and edges in examine_edge. The examine_edge routine assumes that examine_vertex has already been called for both sides of the edges, i.e., that both the source and target vertex have already been added to the copy graph. However, the BFS algorithm calls examine_edge *before* calling examine_vertex for its target. As a result, the target of the added edge is incorrect.
Concretely, in 1.44, graph/copy.hpp, line 365, the result of get(orig2copy, target(e,g_in)) will not be defined. I'll attach a simple program that attempts to copy a graph with 2 vertices and 1 edge before them and ends up with the wrong result.

Simple test.
comment:1 Changed 8 years ago by
One possibly fix would be to have tree_edge(e,g) create a vertex for target(e,g) and the edge for e, and have non_tree_edge(e,g) create an edge for e using the already existing target(e,g).

comment:3 Changed 8 years ago by
With the method you suggested, you only need to specifically copy the source vertex since every other vertex in the component is the target of some tree or non-tree edge. Thus, your approach actually simplifies the code further by removing the examine_vertex hook. I am working on fixing this bug the way you suggested.

Great! Thank you for the incredibly rapid response.

Could you please try your code again with the version I just committed to the trunk? Please try valgrind on it as well if you have a platform that supports it.
comment:7 Changed 8 years ago by
Code does not compile. On line 404, you call copy_one_vertex with a single argument, when it takes two.
After fixing that error (adding g_in as the second argument) code runs correctly and valgrind reports no errors.

Revisiting my School on its 100th Foundation Anniversary : A Tribute for my High School Alma Mater
CSPC Students' Day (All photos by Travel Man)Click thumbnail to view full-size
It's been a long while since I left the portals of my high school Alma mater and delivered my valedictory address. It was a bittersweet memories of struggle of my young, unadulterated mind and proved to my detractors that I can lead my batch.
It was a tumultuous years for us; spending four years of vocational and academic discoveries that led us into different fields of endeavors.
I wrote this because the school already reached its 100th Foundation Anniversary and all representatives from different batches, both high school and college departments are channeling their efforts to make the occasion on MArch 5, 2011 a success.
Photos on the Student's Day last March 03 (1:00 PM onwards) showed that the school did a makeover, more buildings, more student populace and more challenges between the studentry and administration people.
I accompanied my goddaughter Kristine (a sophomore high school) but missed to snap photos on their batch presentation. She served as guide and led me to our former room and of course, my former school organ's office (The BCAT Collegian). I was trained there to be a writer, serving as editor-in-chief during my senior year, winning contests along with my batch.
The school grounds are now teemed with new buildings. I got confused with the maze-like locations of new buildings (if I could look at it from bird's eyeview).
I took photos of the activity of the day, greet my former teachers and visited the new location of the school canteen. I remember those moments with my former classmates and friends of the BIG-BAM Company, sharing food and snacks with our little allowances.
The library has been moved to another location just connecting the oldest building, the Building I with the newly-installed student lockers.
I proceeded to the college building where I spent my first two years in college sharpening my wits and knowledge on technical drafting. My former instructors were there, too.
Passing the registrar's office, I looked for the office of BCAT Collegian, the official school publication. I was directed by a college student at the new slab-roofed building where I was greeted and welcome by the staff, especially the editor-in-chief, his associate and photojournalist.
I was informed that the school administration head banned the distribution of school paper for two years. He shut off the opinion of these young minds. I was also informed that there were rallies or protests held against the new school president and still continue up to these days.
What a saddening news! It's part of school life.
With the penultimate activities on Saturday, I hope it will give us a fresher look and opinion about this trade's school.
For those alumni who can't attend because they are already stationed outside the Philippines, this hub is for you, mates.
In behalf of HubPages, let us remember the teachings we've learned from the portals of our humble Alma mater.
Happy 100th founding anniversary to us all!!!

Observations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child, Jamaica, U.N.
Doc. CRC/C/15/Add.32 (1995).
Distr. GENERAL
15 February 1995
Original: ENGLISH
Concluding observations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child:
1. The Committee considered the initial report of Jamaica (CRC/C/8/Add.12) at its 196th to 198th meetings (CRC/C/SR.196, 197 and 198), held on 18 and 19 January 1995 and adopted* the following concluding observations:
A. Introduction
2. The Committee expresses its appreciation to the State party for engaging, through a high-ranking delegation, in a constructive and frank dialogue with the Committee. The Committee also welcomes the written replies submitted by the Government of Jamaica in response to the Committee's list of issues (CRC/C.8/WP.3), which was made available to the State party before the session.
B. Positive aspects
3. The Committee welcomes the commitment shown by the Government of Jamaica in fulfilling its obligations under the Convention. That commitment is reflected in the intention to include child rights in the constitutional reform currently under way, and in the legislative review which aims at [*] bringing national legislation into conformity with the provisions of the Convention, including through the drafting of a Child Care and Protection Act. Other welcome developments include the intention to issue a Policy Statement on Children, the drafting of the Five-Year Development Plan for Children, the holding, in cooperation with non-governmental agencies, of workshops on steps to be taken to ensure the implementation of the Convention; the adoption of a country programme for Children in Especially Difficult Circumstances; the establishment of the Specialist Committee on Child Abuse.
4. The Committee also notes the willingness of the Government of Jamaica to seek advice and technical assistance from United Nations bodies and specialized agencies and from national and international non-governmental institutions in the field of the promotion and protection of the rights of the child in accordance with the standards set out in the Convention.
C. Factors and difficulties impeding the implementation of the Convention
5. The Committee notes that severe economic and social problems have had a negative impact on the situation of children. The very high level of external debt and the requirements of structural adjustment programmes which have resulted in budgetary reallocations to the detriment of social services, as well as unemployment and poverty, have affected the enjoyment of children's rights.
6. The Committee also notes the difficulties caused by some social attitudes, traditions and prejudices.
D. Principal subjects of concern
7. The Committee is concerned that in the framework of the legislative reform under way, a number of areas remain where national legislation has not yet been brought into full conformity with the provisions of the Convention, including its general principles, as reflected in articles 2, 3, 6 and 12. In this regard, the Committee's concerns relate in particular to the definition of the child, the need to protect children against corporal punishment and harmful information, parental responsibilities, child abuse and neglect - including sexual abuse - health issues, the minimum age of access to employment and the protection of working children, as well as the administration of juvenile justice.
8. The Committee is concerned at the lack of an overall integrated mechanism to monitor the activities designed to promote and protect children's rights. The insufficient coordination between the various governmental departments, as well as between central and regional authorities, in the implementation of policies to promote and protect the rights of the child is a matter of concern. In this connection, the Committee expresses its concern at the absence of effective mechanisms for collecting statistical data and other relevant information about the status of children which are of paramount importance for the elaboration of targeted programmes for the implementation of the rights recognized in the Convention.
9. The Committee is worried about the effect on children of the difficult economic situation and the socio-economic disparities prevailing in the country. In this regard, it is concerned as to whether sufficient budgetary allocations are made and adequate social measures are being taken to protect children, in particular those living in poverty or belonging to vulnerable groups, from being the victims of this situation, in the light of the provisions of articles 3 and 4 of the Convention.
10. The Committee is concerned at the difficulties in ensuring the registration of children at birth. Such a situation implies the non-recognition of those children as persons before the law, which will affect the level of enjoyment of their fundamental rights and freedoms. The Committee is also concerned at the difficulties in ensuring the registration of post-natal deaths.
11. The Committee is concerned that traditional attitudes prevailing in the country may not be conducive to the realization of the general principles of the Convention, in particular as regards the persistence of gender stereotypes and the existing role distribution between boys and girls, the abusive sexual practices which might affect very young girls and the discriminatory attitude towards certain categories of particularly vulnerable children such as young single mothers, disabled children, children affected by HIV/AIDS or Rastafarian children.
12. The Committee is concerned that the measures being taken to protect children from information injurious to their well-being are insufficient, in the light of the provisions of article 17 of the Convention.
13. The lack of sufficient parental guidance and understanding by many parents of their joint parental responsibilities and the occurrence of child abuse and neglect within the family are matters of concern. The high incidence of teenage pregnancies and female-headed households make children particularly vulnerable to sexual abuse, domestic violence, neglect and abandonment, sometimes leading to children becoming involved in activities conflicting with the law.
14. The Committee also takes note of the inadequacy of measures taken to implement the relevant provisions of the Convention with respect to the right to health, in particular in the area of preventive health care and health education.
15. The Committee is worried by the problems involved in the practical application of the right to education. The lack of adequate schooling facilities, the reduction of the educational budget, the low status of teachers, leading to a shortage of trained educators, and the insufficient measures to ensure vocational training are matters of serious concern.
16. With regard to child exploitation, the Committee is concerned that child labour continues to be a serious problem in Jamaica, particularly in the rural areas and in the informal sector, and it notes the lack of adequate labour legislation to protect child workers. The Committee is also worried about the growing number of children living and/or working in the streets where they are exposed to various forms of exploitation and abuse.
17. With regard to the administration of juvenile justice, the Committee is concerned that the present situation does not reflect the spirit and the provisions of the Convention. In particular, the Committee is alarmed at reports of lengthy pre-trial arrests and detention of children in police lock-ups, where they may not benefit from the safeguards recognized in the Convention in the light of articles 37 and 40.
E. Suggestions and recommendations
18. The Committee recommends that the Government of Jamaica, within the framework of the constitutional reform and legislative review currently under way, ensure that the principles and provisions of the Convention are fully incorporated into the Constitution and other national legislation. In particular, it is suggested that the new legislation should address issues such as the definition of the child, the minimum age of penal responsibility and employment, parental responsibilities, the protection of children against abuse and neglect, and the system of administration of juvenile justice. The Committee encourages the State party to seek assistance from the Centre for Human Rights in undertaking this law reform.
19. The Committee emphasizes the need to establish an effective and integrated system for monitoring the implementation of the Convention. It stresses the need actively to involve various sectors of the society in such a system, including governmental and non-governmental structures, both at the national and the local level, as well as parliamentarians. A better coordination is also needed between national authorities and the various international agencies providing technical assistance, in order to ensure that due consideration is given, in the light of articles 3 and 4 of the Convention, to child-oriented projects and their effective implementation. The Committee recommends that a comprehensive system for the collection of data on children and trends on the realization of their rights be established in the State party. In this respect, the Committee recommends that the Government consider the possibility of organizing a meeting to discuss, within the framework of international cooperation, the implementation of the provisions of the Convention in the light of the present observations.
20. While acknowledging the efforts made by the State party in providing relief and social assistance to families most affected by the economic situation, the Committee emphasizes that all appropriate efforts should be undertaken to ensure, to the maximum extent of available resources and within the framework of international cooperation, that sufficient resources are allocated to children. In this regard, due attention should be given to the needs of particularly vulnerable and poverty-stricken children so as to provide adequate safety nets for such children and their families in order to avoid a further deterioration of their rights.
21. The Committee recommends that a nationwide education campaign be launched to sensitize the population at large to the principles and provisions of the Convention and that a comprehensive strategy be worked out and implemented in order to increase awareness among children and adults about the rights of the child and to combat existing prejudices affecting vulnerable groups of children. The Committee suggests in particular that members of professional groups working with children or concerned with the application of the Convention such as judges, lawyers, police and staff in detention centres, teachers and social workers be given, including within the training curricula, systematic training on the Convention.
22. The Committee considers that greater efforts are required to implement fully the provisions of article 2 of the Convention. Measures should be taken to combat traditional attitudes and stereotypes and sensitize the society to the situation and needs of the girl child, disabled children, children affected by HIV/AIDS, children living in rural areas or socially disadvantaged children and Rastafarian children,
23. The Committee recommends that further measures be taken to facilitate the registration of children, in cooperation with non-governmental organizations and with the support of international organizations.
24. The Committee stresses the need for greater efforts in developing family education and awareness of the common parental responsibilities of both parents in the light of article 18 of the Convention. Family planning information and services should be given greater attention and resources. The Committee encourages the State party to support further measures to promote early childhood development and the provision of child care services and centres for working mothers.
25. The Committee suggests that the State party take additional measures to combat violence and abuse of children, including sexual abuse. Comprehensive school guidance programmes to address the needs of children exposed to violent conditions and crisis services for children should be expanded. Programmes for the rehabilitation and reintegration of physically or psychologically disturbed and traumatized children need to be developed, with the cooperation of non-governmental organizations.
26. The State party should ensure that adequate procedures and mechanisms be developed to deal with complaints of the ill-treatment of children, and that cases of violations of children's rights be duly investigated.
27. While recognizing important achievements in the State party in the field of immunization coverage, the Committee recommends that further efforts be made to extend and strengthen the primary health care system. Health education should also be developed so as to ensure a better understanding by the population of the benefits of preventive health care and the detrimental effects on children of the persistence of traditional practices prejudicial to their health.
28. It is suggested that a thorough review of the education system be undertaken. It is recommended that the State party requests technical assistance from UNESCO in this regard. Measures should be envisaged to improve the quality of education, and to intensify teacher training and vocational training.
29. With respect to child exploitation, the Committee recommends that efforts to prevent and combat child labour, particularly in the informal sector, be intensified. It is suggested that the legislative review give due consideration to the issue of the minimum age for admission to employment, and that the State party consider ratifying ILO Convention No. 138 on this subject. It is recommended that Jamaica consider seeking assistance from ILO and UNICEF in this area.
30. With regard to the administration of juvenile justice, it is suggested that the necessary measures be taken to implement fully the principles and provisions of the Convention. The Committee recommends that the law reform to be undertaken in this field adequately reflect the provisions of the Convention as well as other relevant international standards, such as the Beijing Rules, the Riyadh Guidelines and the United Nations Rules for the Protection of Juveniles Deprived of their Liberty. It is suggested that due attention be paid to the best interests and the dignity of the child, and that deprivation of liberty be considered as a measure of last resort and for the minimum period possible. It is recommended that the State party envisage requesting technical assistance in this area from the Centre for Human Rights as well as from the Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Branch of the United Nations.
31. The Committee also recommends that the report submitted by the State party, summary records of its considerations and the concluding observations of the Committee be disseminated as widely as possible within the country.
* At the 208th meeting, held on 26 January 1995.

Aussie SchoolHouse: www.ash.org.au
Aussie SchoolHouse (ASH) was a project owned and managed by ACCE. Under the Aussie SchoolHouse umbrella, ACCE worked cooperatively with partners to foster web based projects and provided educational leaders with resources and support to manage their own projects.
Aussie SchoolHouse was most well known because it provided free web space for teachers - for classroom and professional personal use. It also provided web space for professional associations exploring database driven websites or those hosting special purpose projects.
ASH was also known for the quality resources that teachers, schools and professional associations shared on the ASH site. With increasing popularity each month, ASH continued to be a premier site for educational resources, teacher networking and quality student work. As Web2.0 technologies came into play, the ASH server was used less.
A number of projects were sponsored by Aussie SchoolHouse. Project Atmosphere Australia and ThinkQuest were managed at ASH and had websites located at ASH.
Aussie SchoolHouse hosted a number of projects for leaders in the educational community who wanted to push the boundaries, experiment with new ideas and set directions for next generation of educational web based ideas. There were also many teacher based projects located at Aussie SchoolHouse.
The use of the ASH server has been superceded but was at the 'cutting edge' in its prime.

Strength conditioning exercises (sometimes called resistance exercises) make your muscles strong. Strengthening the muscles around your arthritic knee will make your knee more stable, like adding supports to a crumbling wall.
Gyms and health clubs have machines and free weights that can help strengthen your legs. However you don't need a membership to enjoy the benefits of strength conditioning exercises. Leg lifts in a chair with an elastic strap can be just a effective as a thousand dollar leg extension machine. Even if you are in your nineties training with weights or resistance will increase your quality of life.
Ask your doctor or physical therapist what strength conditioning exercises are right for helping you with your osteoarthritis.

Most infrastructure projects start with the idea of connectedness. This includes concepts such as ownership, sharing, notifications and updates, privacy, and community. There is a database layer (usually MySQL), and that database layer is the natural place to hold all of the structured information necessary for the application to represent everything related to the above concepts.
In this paper, we explore how software architects can start down a sharding path and soon realize they're stuck in a "deep freeze". Everything from then on, from development to deployment, takes longer and is a lot more complicated. The effort required to get the most basic features developed once a sharding backend has been introduced continues to go up and up. You'll also learn how Clustrix solves this problem once and for all.

300,000 Eggs Recalled
Looks like we have another egg problem! We told you all about the salmonella scare and massive egg recall in August and September. But now we have another outbreak. Mississippi's Cal-Maine Foods Inc. recalled almost 300,000 unprocessed eggs from Ohio Fresh Eggs, LLC. Apparently, a regular study by the U.S. F.D.A. resulted in a positive sample for Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) in Ohio Fresh Eggs. There haven't been any illnesses reported yet, but be aware when purchasing your eggs in the next few weeks.

Master Key System talk in MC at the end of May (Monte Carlo)
Bonjour tutti! :)
If anyone is interested in attending a talk about / presentation of the Master Key System in MC towards the end of May, please let me know. The Master Key System is one of the books "The Secret" is based on, and features heavily in Rhonda Byrne's second book, "The Power".
I will be explaining how the creative process works, and how the mental and the spiritual side are connected, and, most importantly, how we can tape into our infinite powers in order to make our dreams come true.
If anyone of you has suggestions for a suitable venue, and perhaps even an event organiser, I'd be very grateful to hear from you.
More about the subject on Protected content , and some English language videos (albeit a bit dated) on my YT channel, Protected content .
Looking forward to hearing from you, but am also happy to answer any questions you may have.
PS: Please note: this is practical spirituality, with a scientific (logical) background. That makes it very easy to understand and implement in your life. It's non-confessional, for pretty much all ages, life situations and income groups.

Cross Rhythms Product Code: 130442
Product Format: DVD
Content Type: Film
Cat. Code: DVNH
Running Time (minutes): 120
Release Date: 26 Nov 2012
Michael is not thrilled about his family's move to New Hope, a small, close-knit southern town. After all, it is his senior year. He is even less enthused about joining the town's high school basketball team, especially when he begins to bump heads with the team's star player, Lucas.
Lucas is fiercely loyal to the memory of his brother Chase - the victim of a suicide that shook the entire town to its core. To Lucas, Michael is reaping the benefits of everything Chase left behind - an insult he refuses to accept. Jasmine, Chase's longtime girlfriend, still has not found peace a year after his tragic death - until a chance meeting with Michael. Michael's faith is tested as he endures confrontations with Lucas on and off the basketball court and through his growing fascination with Jasmine.
New Hope truly captures the life of the modern teenage experience: peer pressure, alcohol, sex, suicide, relationships and the need for acceptance and God's love.

On a bluff overlooking the Sea of Azov in the southwest corner of Russia—tucked between the city of Rostov-on-Don and the town of Taganrog—sits a series of six unprepossessing buildings on dirt lot roughly the size of an acre. Living in these plain cinderblock dwellings are over fifty school-age children and their mothers, refugees from the war that has been raging in the cities, villages and towns of East Ukraine's Donbas region for nearly a year. These mothers and children probably do not have very good chances for happy futures; they lack means and they lack opportunity. Their separatist husbands and fathers are still in Donbas fighting against Keiv's regular army and ultra-nationalist battalions or else have been killed. For many, the homes they once knew have been destroyed and the country they were born into is now very far along the process of disintegrating. Yet. for all that. these refugees in Russia, by the sea, are the lucky ones. They got out.
Many have not. For four days last week (March 24-27) I and a small group of other foreign journalists*, visited the largest city in the Donbas, Donetsk, and several surrounding towns and villages. Today, Donetsk, which had a pre-war population of well over 1 million inhabitants, seems on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe. In several shelters in and around Donetsk we saw scores of children—some as young as three days old—and their mothers (and many cases their grandmothers) living in cramped, dirty hovels with limited access to electricity, food and water. The sound of artillery shelling could be heard not far off from the Donetsk airport where fighting between the separatists' Army of Novorossiya and the Ukrainian forces has sporadically flared up, despite the fact the the second Minsk cease-fire has, for now, largely held in other parts of Donbas.
The cease-fire, which is being actively undermined by Kiev's refusal to negotiate directly with the rebel government, has, according to several rebel fighters we spoke to, not prevented snipers from taking up positions in abandoned apartments throughout the city. Though the targets of sniper fire have mainly been rebel parliamentarians and members of the burgeoning Donetsk government, the fear they inspire among the non-combatants is real.
Residents of Donetsk line up in the morning in the city center for foodstuffs and other supplies provided by Russia.
Unremarked upon by the American media, eastern Ukraine's elderly, women and children are living in a city that is effectively under an economic and military blockade by the Western-backed government in Kiev; which has resulted in a very real sense of privation throughout the city. The Poroshenko government, as one of its first moves, cut off all social services and benefits to the citizens of the Donbas; because people are living without medical insurance, hospitals are offering their services for free. Kiev has also cut the area off from the banking system; there is no access to credit or even the most rudimentary banking services. Unsurprisingly, commerce has ground to a standstill; in the city center only small markets selling flowers, crafts and, occasionally, food seem to be doing much business. Medium-sized enterprises, retailers and restaurants, are shuttered, as are, according to one parliamentarian we spoke to, most of the Donbas's primary large-scale industry: coal and steel enterprises. Only the main Donbas Metallurgical facility is still operating.

Stand up to Cancer
This Sunday is stand up to cancer Sunday for NASCAR. I will be watching the race in support of Sharon Betson and also making a donation in Sharon's name. www.standup2cancer.org
I became aware of this movement because of my love for NASCAR and knowing one of the best reporters for NASCAR Steve Byrnes is having a hard fought battle with cancer. When I found out Sharon had breast cancer, my heart hurt as this is one of my best friends wife's and I knew it would not be easy on Rick and the family. I did not know how to help and still don't really besides checking in by text or letting them know I am hear for them if they need anything. Then NASCAR and Fox Sports came up with this "I Stand Up For" campaign and I knew this is just one very small way I can show my support to the Betson family and to help find cures to cancer.

Happy Birthday to ME!!!
Happy Birthday to me is all I can think about today. Sure I worked 20 hours on my 31st birthday, but who cares really. I weight myself for the first time in 3 weeks and I am under 240 pounds. It might only be 239 pounds, but who cares I am still under and that is all that maters. I can't even remember the last time I was this light. It would have to be 6 to 8 years ago if I had to put a time frame on it.
Even with not having the best diet the last couple of weeks with the schedule I have been on everything is still going the right way. Diet is not everything in weight loss. I have found the best way to simply stay active and get off your butt. I can't even stand sitting for long periods of time any more, I have even been finding myself even getting up while watching a show and doing a lap around the living room and going up and down the steps a couple of times.
All I can think of is Happy Birthday to ME, I am feeling great and happy about who I am today.

Milwaukee DPW has reminders for residents about snow
Milwaukee DPW has reminders for residents about snow
With all the snow falling lately, the Milwaukee Department of Public Works has some important reminders for homeowners.
The DPW said shovel residents needs to sidewalks within 24 hours after the snow stops falling, but don't shovel or blow snow from sidewalks and driveways back into plowed streets.
It's also important to clear a path to garbage and recycling carts.
If you have a fire hydrant on your block, make sure to shovel around it.
Sanitation crews will be collecting garbage and recycling Saturday.

Graduating seniors and French majors Becca Ouellette and Emily Sullivan have been selected by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy for its Teaching Assistant Program in France. They currently are completing their senior thesis projects in French and after graduation will teach English in France for an academic year.
The Teaching Assistant Program's goal is to strengthen English-language instruction in the French educational system through the establishment of a native speaker presence. Applicants are evaluated on their French speaking skills and interest in education, experience working with children, study or travel abroad, and an appreciation of other cultures.
Ouellette, who is from Portland, Maine and also an anthropology/sociology major, will teach elementary school (ages 8-11) in Bordeaux, France. During the spring 2012 semester, she studied in Dakar, Senegal and was able to improve her French as well as learn the native language of the Wolof people. As a French tutor at Rhodes, Ouellette guides students through French exam preparation and assignments and acts as a student resource.
Sullivan, who is from Glenview, Ill., will teach secondary school (ages 12-18) in Paris, France. She was named Best Second-Year French Student in 2011 by Rhodes' Department of Modern Languages & Literatures. Sullivan spent her junior year studying abroad in Poitiers, France as a direct exchange student and completed French literature and history courses. In the summer of 2012 as a Rhodes Regional Studies Fellow, she researched how the Memphis City Schools has done regarding national standards for teaching sex education within their Family Life program. In her hometown of Glenview, she has taught children art classes as part of Make-A-Messterpiece.
Assignments vary depending on school needs, but Teaching Assistants typically lead conversations, serve as a resource person in conversation groups, provide small group tutorials, and give talks related to American studies in English classes.

OTARGOS have honed their weapons. With "No God - No Satan" the Bordelais burn their mark deeply into the flesh of the French scene. Dissecting, slicing and recombining the musical DNA of Black Metal, OTARGOS take aim at the barbed wired crown of the dark genre with their fourth full-length. Spewing forth hate filled contempt, the French achieve exactly the right balance between industrial coldness, fierce attacks and torturously creeping malevolence. OTARGOS will make you stare into the pitch black abyss of cosmic finitude with a sardonic smile...
Spawned in the Black Metal underground of Bordeaux, the band is founded by singer and guitarist Dagoth and R. F. Lord Mysterium behind the drum kit during the heat blazed summer of 2001. Only a little later a bassist is found in the person of XxX. Always eager to attack the stage the band has several performances even before their first demo "Conquerors, Conqueros? Destroyers" is out in the year 2002. This 4-tracker contains pure Black Metal exclusively. With Kernuun a second guitarist is added to the line-up, which takes the sound possibilities and powerful drive of OTARGOS to new dimensions.
Quickly gaining a reputation as an excellent live act, OTARGOS are invited to open for established bands like BELENOS, ENTHRONED, MALLEUS MALEFICARUM, SETH and YATTERING already in 2003. During the same year the French record their second demo "Codex-666, Infernal Legions Strike", which earns them a first record deal. In 2004 Lord Mysterium decides to leave, while OTARGOS prepare their debut album and Arkhamian takes over his drum stool. "Ten-Eyed Nemesis" appears in the year 2005. This first full-length remains true to essential Black Metal without trendy keyboards or fashionable female vocals. Despite the immediate success of their debut in the underground scene, Kernuun drops out and is replaced by Astaroth as new guitarist.
Due to high demand OTARGOS release the compilation "Spawn From The Abyss" including both by now sold out demos as well as bonus material in the year 2006. Not content to remain on trodden paths the Bordelais explore new musical horizons on their second full-length "Kinetic Zero" (2007). OTARGOS gain even more critical acclaim for these destructive sonic outbursts, which plunge into the total chaos of matter, time and space. Dagoth focuses his lyrical attention on cosmology and a dark vision of humanity facing the consequences of its own creation: religions. OTARGOS are determined to leave the classical Satanistic concept of Black Metal behind. At this time Arkamian bails out of the drum seat, but with Ranko (Artefact) a more than worthy replacement is soon found as the troupe continues to exist essentially as a live band.
With OTARGOS' inspirational base firmly remaining within Black Metal it has never been and is still not the intention of Bordeaux' finest to re-invent the genre not to become the fastest, hardest or most brutal exponents of this style. Yet OTARGOS beg to differ. Their intelligent lyrics are circling around a profound philosophy of cosmology and complete atheism, the inexistence of life or death in a quantum world, where humanity's weakness is exposed in the fractal particularity of the "multiverse".
Come summer 2008, OTARGOS enter the Cox in Hell and Stormlab studios to record their new masterpiece "Fuck God-Disease Process", which takes their native France by storm. Taking their lyrical and musical concept to a new level, OTARGOS are now joining forces with Season of Mist Underground Activists to spread "Fuck God-Disease Process" to the world. To achieve their goals the band decides to change drummer again and recruits Thyr.
With a great response to their first internationally release album the French are quickly preparing for their next strike. Even the demo version of "No God - No Satan" is already so impressive that a new deal with Season of Mist gets inked before the album is finished. As it turns out "No God - No Satan" evokes a quantum leap on every level from songwriting via originality to sound. A dark and impressive clip in the shape of a short film for the song "Cloning the Divine" captures a lot of attention and the album receives much acclaim by critics and fans alike. Riding on a wave of success OTARGOS embark on a tour throughout Europe with label mates WATAIN and DESTRÖYER 666 in autumn 2010. To be continued...

What is Cub Scouts?
In 1930 the Boy Scouts of America launched a home- and neighborhood-centered program for boys 9 to 11 years of age. A key element of the program is an emphasis on caring, nurturing relationships between boys and their parents, adult leaders, and friends. Currently, Cub Scouting is the largest of the BSA's three membership divisions. (The others are Boy Scouting and Venturing.)
Cub Scouting has nine purposes
1. Positively influence character development and encourage spiritual growth
2. Help boys develop habits and attitudes of good citizenship
3. Encourage good sportsmanship and pride in growing strong in mind and body
4. Improve understanding within the family
5. Strengthen boys' ability to get along with other boys and respect other people
6. Foster a sense of personal achievement by helping boys develop new interests and skills
7. Show how to be helpful and do one's best
8. Provide fun and exciting new things to do
9. Prepare boys to become Boy Scouts
Cub Scouting has program components for boys in the first through fifth grades (or ages 7, 8, 9, or 10). Members join a Cub Scout pack and are assigned to a den, usually a neighborhood group of six to eight boys. First-grade boys (Tiger Cubs) meet twice a month, while Wolf Cub Scouts (second graders), Bear Cub Scouts (third graders), and Webelos Scouts (fourth and fifth graders) meet weekly. Once a month, all of the dens and family members gather for a pack meeting under the direction of a Cubmaster and pack committee. The committee includes parents of boys in the pack and members of the chartered organization.
Advancement Plan
Recognition is important to young boys. The Cub Scout advancement plan provides fun for the boys, gives them a sense of personal achievement as they earn badges, and strengthens family understanding as adult family members work with boys on advancement projects.
The first rank, Bobcat rank is for all boys who join Cub Scouting.
The Wolf program is for boys who have completed first grade (or are age 8). To earn the Wolf badge, a boy must pass twelve achievements involving simple physical and mental skills.
The Bear rank is for boys who have completed second grade (or are age 9). There are twenty-four Bear achievements in four different categories. The Cub Scout must complete twelve of these to earn the Bear badge. These requirements are somewhat more difficult and challenging than those for Wolf rank.
This program is for boys who have completed third grade (or are age 10). A boy may begin working on the Webelos badge as soon as he joins a Webelos den. This is the first step in his transition from the Webelos den to the Boy Scout troop. As he completes the requirements found in the Webelos Scout Book, he will work on activity badges, attend meetings led by adults, and become familiar with the Boy Scout requirements - all leading to the Arrow of Light Award.
Cub Scouting means "doing." Everything in Cub Scouting is designed to have the boys doing things. Activities are used to achieve the aims of Scouting - citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness. Many of the activities happen right in the den and pack. The most important are the weekly den meetings and the monthly pack meetings.
Cub Scout Sports and Academics
The Cub Scout Sports and Academics program provides the opportunity for boys to learn new techniques, develop sportsmanship, increase scholarship skills, and have fun. Participation in the program allows boys to be recognized for physical fitness and talent-building activities.
Age-appropriate camping programs are packed with theme-oriented action that brings Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts into the world of imagination. Day camping comes to the boy in neighborhoods across the country; resident camping is at least a three-day experience in which Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts camp within a developed theme of adventure and excitement. "Cub Scout Worlds" are used by many councils to carry the world of imagination into reality with actual theme structures of castles, forts, ships, etc. Cub Scout pack members enjoy camping in local council camps and council-approved national, state, county, or city parks. Camping programs combine fun and excitement with doing one's best, getting along with others, and developing an appreciation for ecology and the world of the outdoors.
Volunteers are informed of national news and events through Scouting magazine (circulation 900,000). Boys may subscribe to Boys' Life magazine (circulation 1.3 million). Both are published by the Boy Scouts of America. Also available are a number of Cub Scout and leader publications, including the Wolf Cub Scout Book, Bear Cub Scout Book, Webelos Scout Book, Cub Scout Leader Book, Cub Scout Program Helps, and Webelos Leader Guide.
Cub Scouting Ideals
Apart from the fun and excitement of Cub Scout activities, a number of ideals are expressed in the day-to-day life of the boy and his leaders.

i have a PSP that scratches games and it has a scrtched faceplate(mix of medium to light)
It did a number on one of my games and will not read correctly(VERY slow, sometimes it wont go unless i take it out and reinstall it)
is it worth fixing or should i sell it for parts on ebay?
Is this a good question?
you could homebrew it, and not worry about the UMD drive.

For dinner tonight, I made a Flinstone-sized lamb chop from Lindy Grundy. I put a spice rub on the lamb chop and grilled it on both sides and then finished it in the oven. For the quinoa, I cooked it following the instructions using homemade chicken stock instead of water. For the grilled asparagus, I… you know… grilled it. Delicious! The quinoa was rich and amazing. I loved the lamb chop, but it was so hard to eat.
I was craving a sweet treat so I baked some brownies. I learned how to bake, as a kid, because it is so easy to whip up a delicious dessert just from pantry items and because I have an incredible sweet tooth. I started with this brownie recipe from Epicurious. Weirdly, I didn't have a metal bowl or a brownie pan. I have been so focused on cooking since I moved to LA that I had neglected baking tools. Now at least I know what to buy next time I am creeping around Surfas jonesing for something to buy.

Pearls of reflections
Of refracted visions
Of distant worlds
Of what never was
Cascade down
Spinning in rotation
In orbital trajectories;
The birth of a new solar system;
In explosions;
You constantly appeared.
I recall those days
I lay in wait
For you to rise.
Moments of hysteria;
In the confines of my mind
As raging rivers shook
Unmitigated parched thirst.
How I fell in love
So deeply.
I gave up so much.
So many things I believed I wouldn't
Just to make her my reality.
Only god knows
What else I'd give up
While the sun reigns
In gravitation.

Tales on Tap - A new Kind of Happy Hour
Tales on Tap – A New Kind of Happy Hour
Kowalski's Market, 441 Highway 96 West, Shoreview
December 5, 4:00-6:00 p.m.: Register
What better place to gather in advance of the holidays than at Kowalski's. Come meet Kris Kowalski Christiansen, chief operating officer, and Mike Oase, vice president of operations, and hear the story in person of this local family-owned business.
Q&A with Kris Kowalski Christiansen
What is Kowalski's most proud of in your rich history?
Besides watching my parents, Jim and Mary Kowalski, create this company, I am most proud of our identity as a civic business. We have taken on this mission to educate all employees/stakeholders to see themselves as active citizens (governing members) of not only our company but the world at large. We believe that if all of us see ourselves as policymakers generating decisions for the common good (democratic principles and standards), we will create more sustainable solutions which contribute to a world that is abundant and just.
What's one takeaway for members who will come to Tales on Tap?
Key takeaway would be understanding that at Kowalski's we see ourselves as educators for the next generation of leaders and not just a purveyor of high quality foods and service.
What makes a good business leader?
Never assume you're either the smartest or the dumbest person in the room. If you think you're the smartest, listen more than you speak, and, conversely, ask more questions and educate yourself. Courage is more important than brains!
What's your favorite recent movie?
Haven't been to a movie in a while but love all genres. It's the storytelling and ability to lose yourself for a couple of hours that I love the most, whether it's fiction or true story.
Who inspires you the most? Why?
At this point in my life, my mom inspires me the most. She has emulated pure courage and strength every day by rising above tragedy with grace, intelligence and competence. She's a risk-taker and a challenger as well as a calming voice of reason and a steadfast leader. She is a pillar in my life as well as in many others. Her life story is truly inspirational from childhood to today and would most likely be my favorite movie if there ever was one.
Kowalski's has used the Minnesota Chamber's Waste Wise and Energy Smart services extensively. Why is sustainability so important to you and your customers? Do you have any initial results to report from connecting with our services?
We have used the Chamber extensively over the past year to aid us in taking advantage of the rebates available for new kitchen equipment, HVAC equipment, refrigeration equipment and lighting. Through the Chamber's resources we were able to recoup about $60,000 for these various pieces of equipment. They have been extremely knowledgeable with where we can find rebates and who to go through to get them. They were able to put me in touch with the appropriate people to move the process along seamlessly. They are a great asset to have on our side.

If you were to ask Bryan what business he had on this lonely stretch of isolated thoroughfare, you probably wouldn't have gotten an answer.
If you continued, prodding him as his foot eased up on the accelerator slightly for a curve ahead, and inquired as to why he was on this lonely stretch of desolate asphalt at three in the morning to be exact, you would probably be met with further silence, broken only by the relentless tick-tick-ticking of the left turn signal that had been on for seventeen minutes now, endlessly maddening like Poe's beating heart.
The rain continued to slash through trees, churning dirt into muddy embankments along the sides of the road, and the lone black car sped on through the night.
No mortal man would be on this road, at this hour - certainly not in this weather, and without more illumination than the stop-motion strobe from the turn signal, pulsing a steady orange rhythm into the darkness.
But Bryan was no mere mortal, and onward he travelled, obsidian car with a sillouette of menace, headlights off and turnlight on, his destination not far now.
Bryan was a man with a mission, and no gods great or small would keep him from seeing it to fruition.
Alex jammed the radio over to a classic rock station, an old AC/DC song burbling out of his 87 Nova's tinny speakers. He had miles to go before he got home, but he was crawling at a geological pace, trying to see the blurred road through the car's grimy windshield. The wiper blades creaked across the glass, doing nothing to dissipate the sheet of rain obscuring his vision.
And the roof was leaking again.
With one eye on the road he gathered his textbooks from the passenger seat, rescuing them from the peril of water damage, tossed them into the backseat, and gave his stereo a solid thump with the knife-edge of his palm to convince it to resume playing out of both speakers, which it currently was not.
He continued to pound on the stereo, then on the dash above it, and so when his tire contacted the puddle, he was powerless to bring the nose of the car back on course before the vehicle executed a dizzying, slow-motion spin and skidded headlong into a tree.
Bryan left his car in front of the gas station, pocketing the keys. Form-pressed out of an extrusion mold and identical to every other bearing its neon logo, the station seemed an oasis along this road - a singular vestige of civilization on the tail-end of nowhere. Wrapping his cloak round himself in imitation of those who actually feel chill from atmospheric conditions, the doors slid open at his approach, and into the buzzing florescence of the convenience store he stepped.
It was an elderly gentleman behind the counter who greeted Bryan with his customary "Evening," slowed to a drawl that matched his appearance just so. But the idle creases in his face vanished when he saw who his late-night customer was.
Alex dragged himself out of his car. The damage seemed primarily cosmetic, but obviously was deeper, as the engine now refused to turn. Power still, though, since the radio continued to play, an upbeat Boston song. In stereo, out of both speakers. In spite of himself, Alex allowed a mild sigh of ironic amusement.
The rain had already soaked him thoroughly, his hair plastered smoothly to his scalp, as he stood there surveying the damage and weighing his options, of which there weren't many. He recalled passing a gas station not too long ago, and at the slow speed he'd been driving, it couldn't be that far. He locked the doors of the car, and paused for a moment to consider how absurd that was. The car wasn't going anywhere and the only thing he had inside of any value were his textbooks, not to mention the fact that it was unlikely anyone else would be on this road, especially now. And anyway, someone could break a window if they really wanted his calculus book that badly.
Then again, if he didn't lock the door and found something missing on return, he supposed he'd feel even more stupid. He pulled his windbreaker shut and began to trudge back up the road, the way he had come, while the chill November wind whipped all around him.
Bryan stepped to the counter, his eyes never breaking contact with the owner's. "Master," he said, "I have returned."
The old man seemed to age another few decades as the inevitability of the situation overcame him. "To deny me my second life," he said. It was not a question. "Why do you do this? I came here seeking solitude, and to stay out of your way."
"No," returned Bryan, "I have come to keep the promise to you I made so long ago." Reaching into his cloak and returning with a smooth glass sphere, which the old man regarded.
"It is time," Bryan continued, "but the choice is yours."
"You will destroy it after," accused the man.
"That," said Bryan, "was not part of the promise."
"A promise!" spat the man. "Made by a Follower? What faith can I place in that?"
Bryan remained silent, keeping his gaze fixed on the man, who in his turn, seemed to deflate slightly. His choice was either oblivion, or eternal life on the spiritual plane, kept safe - safe! - in the Keeper.
In the hands of Bryan. Bryan, and the Followers.
But he could do nothing about it while dead. In spirit, there was a chance.
He sighed inwardly. "The Keeper," he gestured at the sphere still held in Bryan's grasp.
Bryan extended the sphere towards the man, who placed his fingertips on it. His body, no longer needed, crumpled to the floor as he merged with the Keeper, placing his essence of being into its protective confines.
Damn you, he thought at Bryan as his conciousness swirled away into nothingness. I will avenge myself upon you, if I have to wait ten thousand years.
Once merged, Bryan returned the sphere to the innards of his cloak, and then destroyed the store. The old man's body would be found, in time, and leading local law enforcement down the wrong path seemed a prudent course of action.
He knocked over displays, broke bottles of soda on the floor, smashed the cash register with his bare hands as though some thief had tried to ransack the store in search of money. He found a small-calibre gun beneath the register, and with this, he fired one shot at the far wall, and one into the body of the old man. There had been a struggle - or so it would seem - and the loss of the store owner's life had been the result. The police would spend their time chasing a phantom thief-turned-murderer who never existed.
His work at the store thus completed, Bryan left the gun on the floor amid the broken glass and overturned towers of water bottles, and made his way to the door.
He was extremely surprised when he collapsed to the pavement and died.
The glowing neon of the gas station was ahead, half an hour later, and served as Alex's polestar, growing larger in his field of vision with each step. The cold had long ago stopped bothering him; the icy rain streaming down his hair and neck hadn't. Bouyed by the notion of stepping indoors, getting some watery (but hot) coffee, he continued on.
The glass door of the convenience store didn't slide open as he expected it to, and he walked right into it, banging his knee in the process. With a grimace of pain fused with self-mocking, he stood at the entrance, wondering if maybe the place was closed for the night. Just great.
Alex cupped his hands over the glass and peered in, trying to see if anyone was in there; he could explain the problem and maybe use the phone.
There was someone in there. On the ground, wearing a black cloak of some kind. Looked unconcious, until Alex noticed the sprawled form was amidst a wreckage of glass and a gun on the floor. He nearly fell over as he scrambled backwards, drawing shallow and ragged breath.
Jesus Christ, thought Alex. Jesus fucking Christ.
He stood there, no longer feeling the rain, staring through the glass at the dead man, too confused and terrified to think. Part of him, some animal instinct, told him to run, that whoever did this might still be around. The more rational part in him knew he had nowhere to actually run to, and maybe the guy wasn't dead, and needed help.
So much for that coffee.
He slowly walked back to the door, and pried against the dead motor until it slid away enough that he could enter. Overturned display cases everywhere, smashed bottles on the floor. Alex was operating on some kind of intuitive autopilot now, not thinking. He leaned down to the cloaked man and pressed two fingers to his jugular, feeling nothing. No pulse.
The man was clearly dead, though Alex could see no wounds on him.
Police. He had to call the police. There had to be a phone in here, somewhere, and he could call the police. Let them deal with this.
He swung the countertop up to get behind the register area, the most likely place he could think of for a phone to be, and nearly tripped over another body, an older man this time, blood soaking his shirt from what looked like a bullet hole.
Alex had never faced death. Ever. His junior year in high school, some kid who had graduated the previous year had committed suicide, a name and face that meant nothing to Alex. That had been as close as he'd ever come - never face-to-face with the sort of cancelled eyes the elderly man displayed now. He felt strangely calm about it - numb, but functional.
But he was getting quite a headache.
He found an old rotary phone near the register, which looked like it had been pounded with a Louieville Slugger. Maybe the first guy, the one with the cloak, had been trying to rob the place. The expected hum of a dial tone was absent when Alex lifted the receiver.
He found himself wishing he'd gotten a cellphone. Never saw the point before, but he wished like hell he had one now. For one thing, if he'd had one, he wouldn't be here in the first place - he'd have called a tow truck from his car, and these two dead guys wouldn't be his problem now.
Alex checked the old man's pockets, looking for a cell, finding nothing. He went round the counter, back to the guy with the cloak, and failed to find a phone on him either.
But he did find a small glass sphere in the guy's cloak. A glowing glass sphere, that Alex hestitated before picking up. No batteries or anything that he could see, but a diffused and directionless light permeated the glass. He turned it over in his hands, transfixed, the inert forms of death on the floor momentarily forgotten.
His headache was deepening.
With other, more pressing issues, he'd ignored it, but now, what had begun as a low, dull ache was becoming more sharp by the moment. The entire room seemed to tilt, colors washing away and fading, and it was becoming difficult to breathe. He could barely stand, his vision blurring and darkness creeping along his peripheral as though he was running out of oxygen.
He dropped to his knees, the glass sphere still in his hands, and screamed, struggling to crawl towards the door; the door led outside, away from this place rife with death and insanity.
A few meters from the glass that seperated him from the parking lot, and Alex fell, his cheek cool against the linoleum.
The glass ball blazed with light, then darkened.
Alex stood up, and brushed dust and bits of glass from himself. His former body lay inert and lifeless behind the counter, and the fool Bryan was also dead, in a more permanent way. His death, unanticipated to him, meant he was denied the second life and the rights of spirit keeping. His loss, and Alex felt little remorse as he took the car keys from Bryan's body and left the store that had once, in a material way, been his.
The car started like a rumble of thunder, and with the lights off, seemed to merge with the night as Alex pulled onto the road and made his way towards the inevitable. Towards victory.
The Followers would fall, and vengeance would be his.

Mark Shuttleworth received all the information in Star City, from the South African Radio League, to study and write his ham ticket and he was fitting these studies into his busy training schedule. However, there was doubt whether he would actually have the time to complete his RAE. Mark had eight months to learn Russian and complete his astronaut training. Meanwhile, the Oakdale Amateur Radio Club near Cape Town, South Africa, negotiated with our equivalent of the FCC to grant Mark a Ham ticket in light of the tight schedule before the launch and in anticipation of him writing the test. The authorities agreed and awarded the temporary, honourary callsign ZSRSA. The callsign represents 'ZS=South Africa' and 'RSA=Republic of South Africa'. (RSA is an international acronym.) The callsign is only valid for three months. The authorities did not assign a numeral to the callsign, as the numerals represent the country's provinces and geographic locations and no separate allocation exists for space communications. The numeral '0' is also occupied, as it is used in callsigns to identify stations in digital networks, such as packet radio, BBSs, nodes, etc. I understand that NASA had/has reservations about the callsign because it conforms to our aviation callsigns - ZSxxx. The Oakdale Amateur Radio Club is located in Durbanville, a village which is about 30km North East of Cape Town. Durbanville is Mark's home town and where his family still resides. Naturally it will be a great occasion if we can speak to Mark on board the ISS and that is the reason the radio club went to the effort to obtain a callsign. The first African-in-space-concept has certainly awakened a lot of interest in technology and science in South Africa. Mark started a venture capital company to promote involvement in the sciences and The Shuttleworth Foundation to further education on all levels, especially to poorer people. Mark insisted to not simply be a space tourist, and completed his full training as an astronaut (cosmonaut?) in Star City. He insisted to do his share of work on board and is responsible for a number of mission critical duties. Mark will also conduct various scientific experiments relating to physiology, embryo cells, HIV and cell growth. Mark insisted that the experiments he conducts should have their origin in South Africa. That created an opportunity for leading academics at several South African universities to formulate the experiments that he will perform daily. You can read about Mark and his projects at www.firstafricaninspace.com. Mark expressed his continued interest in Ham radio and will still write the RAE upon his return to Earth. His temporary callsign is entirely due to the effort and negotiations by the Oakdale Amateur Radio Club and is subjected to strict conditions as commanded by the authorities. Mark's money certainly did not "buy" the license in this instance. We should embrace every opportunity to promote the Amateur Radio cause, and Mark's space flight will provide another grand exposure to Ham Radio, especially in South Africa and Africa where Ham Radio is still generally viewed as a non-essential activity. Thanks to Frank Bauer and Miles Mann and their teams for their efforts in the Sarex and Marex programmes.

Gari Kasparov of the Soviet Union, after trailing for nearly half the match, finally pulled even at the midway point and then quickly opened up a commanding lead over Viktor Korchnoi in their World Championship Candidates' semifinal match.
The favored Kasparov had been playing ''catch-up'' since Game 1 when Korchnoi , a Soviet defector now representing Switzerland, parlayed an opening advantage into an important victory. After that the competitors battled to four consecutive draws. Just when some knowledgeable players were beginning to think that Korchnoi would try to hold on and win the match by drawing the remaining games, he opened up in Game 6 and gambled to win an insignificant King Rook pawn while allowing Kasparov dangerous connected pawns on the opposite wing.
Probably Korchnoi banked on a well-posted Knight to thwart the advance of these pawns and misjudged the consequences of Kasparov's exchange sacrifice on Move 40.
Certainly it was impossible to calculate all the hair-raising possibilities of the ensuing ending prior to adjournment at Move 41, and it is unlikely that players or analysts got any sleep, since the game had to be resumed the following day. When it was, Kasparov gradually got the upper hand and eventually scored the full point, then won again in Game 7, drew Game 8, and won Game 9 to take a 51/2-31/2 lead with only three games to go.
Why did Korchnoi gamble when he could have played safely for a win, since he even enjoyed a minute advantage before the ill-fated complications? In all sports, including chess, it is axiomatic that you go with your best, with those things that have enabled you to win; and this is Korchnoi's style, which until now has proved successful against all comers except World Champion Anatoly Karpov.
Actually he might have drawn the difficult endgame, according to many analysts, including Yuri Averbakh, preeminent endgame authority. Averbakh is attending the matches as Vassily Smyslov's chief second in his match against Ribli, which stood 51/2-31/2 in Smyslov's favor with just three games remaining at this writing.

G. A ''book'' endgame has been reached where the Rook will soon be forced to leave the protection of the King when it will be lost after a series of Queen checks. Otherwise the Black King will infiltrate to assist in a mate. This was an incredibly difficult game for both players in all its phases.
International Grandmaster Arthur Bisguier is a former US champion, has won or shared the US Open title five times, and has captured virtually every other major tournament in this country at least once during more than three decades of competition.
