A one-time substitute teacher who admitted to police he was attracted to girls did not get the probation he was hoping for Monday after pleading guilty in August to possession of child pornography.
Instead, Aaron Ringewold will spend two to five years in a Nevada prison. That is the sentence Judge Stefany Miley handed down, closing a case that began with Ringewold's arrest in June by Henderson police.
Ringewold admitted that he was attracted to girls and child pornography, but there was no evidence any of the explicit images of children found in Ringewold's possession were his students. Ringewold was a substitute teacher at O'Callaghan Middle School.

Meeting brief: August 12
SAA addressed several important topics of business during the August meeting. These will be reportedĀ in further detail in the September issue of SAA Highlights.
Kate Ripley and Carla Browning, of UA Public Affairs and UAF Marketing and Communications, respectively, explained why the sdbutro email has been added to the UAFstaff-L listserv, the email list for all UAF Employees. The purpose is for better internal communication. While Statewide employees aren't administratively part of UAF, many Statewide employees work on the UAF campus, so issues affecting UAF employees often affects Statewide employees.
The primary issue is crisis communication, but also campus building or road information that affects employees working on the UAF campus. The sdbutro email list also includes Statewide employees that work in the College Road building and K-12 Outreach, on University Avenue.
James Elieff came to the meeting to clarify the plans for providing OIT support to Statewide employees in Anchorage. Currently, Anchorage Statewide employees still call OIT for Help Desk support, and some tickets are dispatched to UAA. In the future, all tech support will be done at UAA for Anchorage Statewide employees. Billing details are being worked out and information will be sent out prior to the change in Help Desk support protocols.
Chief Human Resources Officer Beth Behner provided an update on tentative staff compensation adjustments for FY11. She also reported on discussions by the HR subcommittee on Staff Evaluation, which is working on developing a systemwide tool for evaluation and compensation processes. There are no definitive plans or a specific timeline at this point.
SAA President Kim Eames in her report gave an overview of the discussions she's had with administrators, and reported on current Staff Alliance actions.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Carson Walker, a veteran reporter and editor in South Dakota, has been named The Associated Press' news editor for the Dakotas.
Walker returned to the cooperative's Sioux Falls bureau in July 2013 as a breaking news reporter. In his new position, he will oversee the AP's reporting staff in North Dakota and South Dakota and have responsibility for the creation of the AP's report in both states.
Walker, 47, will be based in Sioux Falls. His appointment was announced Monday by David Scott, the AP's Central Region Editor.
"Carson knows the story of the Dakotas and it's one he's told from television, newspaper and AP newsrooms for the past two decades," Scott said. "We're excited to have him in this new role and eager to see the journalism he and his team will offer our members and customers in both states."
Walker began his professional career at KDLT-TV in Sioux Falls, where he worked as a reporter, anchor and producer. He was later a reporter at The Argus Leader in Sioux Falls and served as KDLT's news director before joining the AP in 1998 as the Dakotas Broadcast Editor. He served in that role for 11 years before joining the AP's West Regional editing desk in 2009.
"Carson has deep understanding of the territory and of the needs of the newsrooms that make up the AP cooperative," said Michelle Morgante, the AP's chief of bureau for the Dakotas, Minnesota and Nebraska. "We are confident that he and the Dakotas team will work hard to keep our members ahead."
Walker is a 1989 graduate of Colorado State University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in journalism and political science.

Movie Trailer: THE COLONY
Title: THE COLONY
Director: JEFF RENFROE
Screenplay: PATRICK TARR
Starring: LAURENCE FISHBURNE, BILL PAXTON, KEVIN ZEGERS, CHARLOTTE SULLIVAN
UK Release Date: TBC
Award-winning director Jeff Renfroe (One Point O, Civic Duty) delivers an action-packed, post-apocalyptic thriller in his icy feature THE COLONY. Set during the next ice-age, an outpost of colonists struggle to survive below the world's frozen surface. Short on supplies, and plagued by illness and internal conflict, the colonists suspect the worst when they mysteriously lose contact with their only other known settlement, Colony 5. When Colony 7's leader Briggs (Laurence Fishburne - Contagion, The Matrix Trilogy) decides to lead an expedition to discover what happened, he is challenged by Mason (Bill Paxton -- Aliens, Twister), his former comrade-in-arms, who has his own ideas of what is best for the colonists. Briggs takes two volunteers on the mission, the young Graydon, and Sam (Kevin Zegers - Fifty Dead Men Walking, TV's Gossip Girl), a strong-willed mechanic who seizes the opportunity to confront the icy wasteland that orphaned him. When they reach their destination, the team discover a threat much worse than nature and must battle to save themselves and protect their fellow colonists in what might be humanity's last stand. A riveting, intense story of survival, humanity, and desperation, THE COLONY is a rich addition to the post-apocalyptic action genre.

Drivers for Gateway® MT3707
Want to install the drivers for Gateway MT3707? Read on to learn about the tips to do the same.
Gateway MT3707 has many components that require drivers. Drivers are the link between the hardware components and the operating system installed on Gateway MT3707. Updated versions of the installed drivers can be downloaded from the official website of Gateway. The users can also find and download appropriate drivers using software such as Driver Genius or BIOS Agent. When downloading BIOS or drivers for Gateway MT3707, the users should check that they are of the latest series available, as the installation of outdated or first edition drivers and BIOS can decrease the performance of the system. This can also cause problems when the system is in use.
The following points give more information regarding the tips to install drivers for Gateway MT3707:
- Stop unnecessary services
- Check the integrity of system files
- Back up important data
Stop unnecessary services
When your Gateway MT3707 system is running, there may be many unnecessary services running in the background as well. When installing the drivers or the BIOS for Gateway MT3707, it is advisable that unnecessary services be stopped so that they don't interfere with the driver/ BIOS installation process. The users of Gateway MT3707 can use the Task Manager to perform this task.
Check the integrity of system files
Drivers require all the system files of the OS to be in proper working state. Before installing the drivers or the updated version of the BIOS on Gateway MT3707, the users are advised to check the integrity of the system files using the 'sfc/ scannow' command in the CMD before installation. Damage to the operating system must be rectified using the default OS repair tool.
It is suggested that the users back up all the important data on the Gateway MT3707 system before installing drivers or BIOS. The back up must be created on a separate storage media.

OAKLAND >> Patrick McCaw spoke Sunday for the first time since his terrifying fall in a game against the Sacramento Kings on March 31.
It happened late in the third quarter after Vince Carter inadvertently undercut McCaw, sending him crashing onto the floor. McCaw writhed in pain for about 10 minutes before being carried off of the court on a stretcher and rushed to UC Davis Medical Center.
"So many thoughts just went racing through my head," McCaw said. "I was really just lost. All I could do was really cry, and continue to pray, and just hope that I was going to be all right."
McCaw initially couldn't feel his legs and he acknowledged he feared the worst. Even though he regained sensation and can now walk, that numb feeling still haunts him.
"I'm still dealing with it, still trying to get past that moment and just forget it," McCaw said. "But it's hard right now just because it's one of the scariest moments of my life."
Warriors coach Steve Kerr and some of McCaw's teammates visited him in the hospital Saturday evening. And his parents caught the first flight they could from St. Louis to the Bay Area to be with their son.
McCaw was diagnosed with a bruised lumbar spine the next morning after tests revealed that there was no structural damage or neural disruption. McCaw vividly remembers lying in the hospital bed, hearing that news.
"A major relief, a major weight off of my shoulders and my mind just to know that I was going to be all right," McCaw said. "It will take time to be back to 100 percent. But that I'll be able to walk again was the greatest news I could hear. That's the biggest thing, just regaining that feeling."
The last two weeks have been very trying for McCaw. His lower back hurts all of the time. He takes a lot of medications for the pain, but they don't seem to be working.
"I haven't slept and it's not because of me thinking about the incident," McCaw said. "It's just the pain just keeps me up at night."
Despite everything, McCaw also feels a huge amount of gratitude. Even though he's been sidelined as the Warriors play in their first-round playoff series against the San Antonio Spurs, McCaw continually reminds himself that he's lucky.
"Things could be a lot worse than what they are right now," McCaw said. "I'm glad I'm able to still stand on my own two feet. There's so much more than just basketball in life. Just being able to still have a chance to do what I love to do, still being able to walk, still being able to move on my own. I was thinking about all of the negatives that could have possibly happened to me. I'm just truly blessed. It's kind of hard for me right now not being able to play the game that I love, but I'm starting to understand that it's much bigger than just basketball."
McCaw is set to be re-evaluated Thursday, but right now basketball is the furthest thing from his mind. He knows the rehabilitation process is going to be a long and painful road, and the 22-year-old shooting guard is trying to be patient with himself.
Kerr has been a huge source of support for McCaw. After all, he struggles with debilitating back pain himself.
"He sat down with me a lot just because he's been through it," McCaw said of Kerr. "He knows exactly what's going on with me, and the pain that I'm going through. So he's been reaching out to me almost every day, just making sure that I'm all right. Checking in on me. It's just great to have him supporting and always staying positive and making sure that I'm all right."
McCaw said it was also extremely helpful having his parents with him in the hospital. When he woke up, he was scared, disoriented and confused. Their love and support made a big difference.
"Waking up from a lot of drugs and things like that, to see your mom and dad there supporting you, it made me so happy just to know that they would stop everything that they were doing just to make sure that I was all right," McCaw said.
McCaw's parents stayed with him for a while when he returned to his apartment in Jack London Square. They bought him groceries and made him his favorite dishes, such as spaghetti, alfredo, catfish, chicken and hot wings.
McCaw said only time will tell when he'll be able to get back on the court again. But right now, he's just focusing on staying positive.
He's going to be okay. And that's all that matters.
"Really enjoying and embracing how far I've come and the opportunity I've been blessed with," McCaw said. "It's going to be tough, but I'm willing to take my time."
• Two summers ago, Warriors guard Klay Thompson made the declaration that he wouldn't sacrifice his game with the addition of perennial All-Star Kevin Durant.
With Thompson's ability to come off screens, and shoot without taking a dribble, he has proven that claim to be true. Perhaps the greatest example of his ability to mesh with three other All-Stars came last season, when he scored 60 points in 29 minutes, taking just 11 dribbles.
Now, with the Warriors forced to navigate the first round of the playoffs without Stephen Curry, Thompson's exploits are being counted on more than ever.
On Sunday, he delivered in a 113-92 Game 1 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. With Curry sidelined, Thompson scored 27 points on 11-of-13 shooting, including five 3-pointers.
Thompson's scoring burst came as the Spurs coach Gregg Popovich threw a diversified group of defenders at him, including 6-foot-8 forward Rudy Gay, and 6-0 guard Patty Mills. Neither defensive option seemed to matter as Thompson hit shots from all over the floor.
"He hit some tough ones," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. "Some key ones too."
While Thompson possesses one of the best shooting strokes in the NBA, his personality can be perceived as disinterested. During interviews, he has been known to space out mid-season while giving an answer, forgetting the question entirely.
Thompson's personality can be two-fold. Last year, he missed a practice without a word of his whereabouts, later stating he overslept. The next night, he scored a career-high 60 points against Indiana. However, this season, Kerr has raved about Thompson's game, even calling him the most consistent player on the team.
"He's smarter than he's ever been," Kerr said. "He's seen everything. I think he's comfortable playing with KD and Steph. He's got two years under his belt now with this group. He's right in his prime physically, mentally he's at his best."
Said Durant: "He loves it. He's been making shots his whole career. We might take his shooting for granted because he's so great at it."
Thompson's familiarity with the Spurs has been apparent this season. In four games against San Antonio, he has averaged 22.6 points on 55-percent shooting, including 57.9 percent from beyond the arc.
"I'm just familiar with the offense in my career as I should be," Thompson said. "I just try to play the same way at all times. It doesn't matter if I'm 11 for 13 or 2 for 13. I have the same mindset."
With Thompson's Game 1 performance likely forcing the Spurs to come up with a game plan to stop him, he has a plan of his own going into Game 2 on Monday night.
"Whoever has the best shot," Thompson said. "If it's me at times, I'll get in the post. But we have an equal-opportunity offense. So if I'm open, shoot the ball. It's been working for us the last four years."

Conte declared free of fixing charges
Italy head coach Antonio Conte is clear to take charge of Chelsea in the summer after being acquitted of charges pertaining to sporting fraud, an Italian judge has announced.
The 46-year-old, who will move to England and Stamford Bridge after leading Italy at the European Championship, had been accused of failing to report his knowledge of an incident of attempted match-fixing during his time as Siena boss in 2011.
Cremona-based prosecutor Roberto Di Martino had asked for Conte to be handed a suspended six-month prison sentence and fined 8,000 euros (#6,300), but the former Juventus coach, represented by lawyers, was on Monday acquitted by judge Pierpaolo Beluzzi during a preliminary hearing.
Italian Football Federation (FIGC) president Carlo Tavecchio welcomed the decision, telling Italian newspaper Il Sole: "I am highly satisfied with the court's acquittal of Antonio Conte.
"Finally his position has been clarified and my confidence in him has never been in question. Now we are all the more focused on the Euros."
In 2012 Conte, who has always denied any wrongdoing, served a four-month ban imposed by the FIGC in connection with the case, which is known in Italy as 'Calcioscommesse'.

The fathers of Dada at Tate Modern
Latest update : 2008-02-20
A notorious urinal, a "Mona Lisa" with facial hair and an all-pervading bawdy wit dominate a London art show featuring Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray and Francis Picabia, the fathers of Dada.
"Duchamp, Man Ray, Picabia" at Tate Modern charts how their intense friendship forged in the early 20th century informed their work which is still a major influence on contemporary figures like Damien Hirst and Jeff Koons.
Works on show include Frenchman Duchamp's "The Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors, Even" (The Large Glass), a large glass panel whose erotic theme is communicated through visual references to physics and engineering.
There is a replica of Duchamp's "Fountain" -- a urinal on its back which caused a scandal when it was unveiled in 1917 -- plus three reproductions of Leonardo Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" on to which he pencilled a beard and moustache.
These works are entitled "L.H.O.O.Q", which in French form the phrase "elle a chaud au cul", or "she has a hot arse", one of a series of erotic puns, both verbal and visual, which punctuate the show.
A series of Man Ray's rayographs -- images created by placing objects directly on or close to light-sensitive paper -- are also on display. The US artist worked in a string of media but is best known for his ethereal photography, often of the human body. The most striking works by Picabia, who was also French, are a series of brash, fleshy oils often copied from sources such as cigarette cards which he said he hoped would please his concierge.
Curator Jennifer Mundy told AFP: "There wasn't an element of rivalry, there was a genuine, open warmth which allowed them to have a lot of fun together but also to engage in these visual dialogues."
The show runs at Tate Modern from February 21 to May 26 and will be on display at the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain, from June 19 to September 21.

NEW YORK Media conglomerate News Corp. (NWS) says earnings for the last three months of 2012 grew, helped by higher revenue at its pay TV networks and gains from larger stakes in businesses abroad.
The company, which is controlled by CEO Rupert Murdoch, said Wednesday that it earned $2.38 billion, or $1.01 per share, in the fiscal second quarter. That's up from $1.06 billion, or 42 cents per share, a year earlier.
- Rupert Murdoch's The Daily is done
- U.K. regulator finds BSkyB "fit and proper"
- Liberty Global to buy Virgin Media for $16 billion
Earnings got a one-time, $1.4 billion boost due to the company taking a bigger stake in Fox Sports Australia and Fox Star Sports Asia. It also posted a $131 million gain from participating in a stock buyback program at British Sky Broadcasting, which News Corp. has a 39 percent stake in. The one-time gains were offset by restructuring charges of $65 million related to newspapers abroad.
Excluding one-time items, adjusted earnings came to 44 cents per share, beating the 43 cents per share expected by analysts polled by FactSet.
Revenue was $9.43 billion, up 5 percent from $8.98 billion. The company says its cable network business helped grow revenue.
Analysts were looking for revenue of $9.26 billion.
News Corp. is planning to split into two companies this year - one for publishing and the other for the TV and movie businesses.
Shares of the highly traded Class A shares rose 38 cents, or 1.4 percent, to $28.60 in after-hours trading, a new 52-week high.

New Democrats: Leading the Charge Against C-51
March 12th, 2015 - 10:29am
The Conservative government likes to pretend the Official Opposition is on the sidelines when it comes to Bill C-51. In fact, New Democrats have been on the front line — leading the charge — opposing Conservative schemes to ram the bill through Parliament at all costs. If this government were really serious about security, they wouldn't shy away from meaningful study and debate of their sweeping new bill.
The NDP knows that public safety is the priority of any government and we are not alone in our opposition to Bill C-51. A growing list of eminent Canadians are adding their voices to the chorus of those saying the Conservatives' so-called anti-terror legislation goes too far. Four former prime ministers are concerned with the bill's broad measures; the Privacy Commissioner – an Officer of Parliament – lacks the power and resources to provide oversight of C-51; and Canada's reputation is being tarnished as international media report the Conservative bill could open the door to human rights abuses.
Last week, New Democrats were calling on the government to allow a full range of experts and others concerned about the bill to testify at committee in order to develop practical amendments that will strengthen oversight and protect Canadians' freedoms. Instead, the government decided to cut off debate and to play more politics that puts our freedoms at risk.
As New Democrats oppose C-51 and the Liberals vote for it, more than a hundred of Canada's brightest legal experts from institutions across the country sent an open letter to all members of Parliament expressing their "deep concern" about C-51. They call the Conservative bill a "dangerous piece of legislation in terms of its potential impacts on the rule of law, on constitutionally and internationally protected rights, and on the health of Canada's democracy."
The NDP believes we need responsible approaches to protecting Canadian values and freedoms, as well as our personal safety.
The government wants to give CSIS a huge new mandate without improving its oversight. Today the government says the best way to protect our fundamental freedoms is to rely on our independent judiciary. But regular attacks on Canada's courts when they don't rule in the government's favour show the Conservatives' disdain for an independent judiciary. The issue here is that judges cannot be asked to replace the role of civilian oversight for our nation's security. It is also hard to understand why the Minister would object to Canada's elected officials providing security oversight, when you consider how one of their appointments to head the Security Intelligence Review Committee is now sitting in a Panamanian jail.
The NDP and Canada's legal experts are also concerned by the overbroad and unnecessary provision around encouraging "terrorism offences in general." As the NDP has stressed, the language in the bill is vague and sweeping and could have significant unintended impacts on freedom of speech.
C-51 also lacks concrete measures to address the important issue of radicalization of youth. New Democrats, like all Canadians, have been shocked by recent atrocities perpetuated by terrorists. We have also witnessed outrageous acts of partisanship and Islamophobia by MPs who attack those that don't share their narrow Conservative ideologies. Some in government circles even crassly considered the "strategic opportunity" of the October shooting attacks in Ottawa to advance political objectives.
On the night of the Parliament Hill attack, Tom Mulcair spoke to the nation and said that violence should never make us more fearful of our neighbours or less confident in ourselves. The Prime Minister has chosen a very different approach by labelling those opposed to C-51 – including the NDP – as "extremists" and by making the Muslim community a scapegoat in political debates to divide Canadians.
This approach is particularly disappointing considering the emphasis and expense the government has placed in creating its Office of Religious Freedoms. The mandate of this office includes "protecting and advocating on behalf of religious minorities under threat, opposing religious hatred and intolerance, and promoting pluralism." Why doesn't the Prime Minister extend this same commitment of protection to those living in Canada?
Stephen Harper wants you to choose between your safety and your freedoms. That's a false choice. You can count on principled and experienced leadership from Tom Mulcair's New Democrats, to fight for both.
Canada's New Democratic government will be committed to protecting Canadians from the threat of terrorism, but we will do so never losing sight of the rights and freedoms that make Canada among the best countries in the world.

Polite Complaint Letter Frees Customer From Capital One's Hassle-Filled Rewards Trap
It seems that you can't turn on a television without hearing about Capital One's "no-hassle" credit card rewards. Haim learned that these rewards actually are, um, sort of a hassle. He wanted to use his rewards points to pay for part of his vacation, and pay for the rest himself. This concept was too much for the nice folks at Capital one, and he hit a customer service roadblock. Haim then used his finely honed consumer skills to send an executive e-mail carpet bomb emphasizing what a great customer he's been. It worked.
I have a capital one "no hassle" rewards card, and after 4 years of accumulating points, I wanted to use the 38,000 points I have to get at least some savings on a trip to Puerto Rico. It says in their rewards program, use 35,000 points for a trip up to $350 dollars. What it didn't say is that if it is more than $350 you need to claim the next tier, which is 60,000 points. The rewards CSR said there was no way to pay for part of the trip. After talking to 4 different CSR supervisors, I got upset. I am not getting the consumer protection that comes with AMEX, and I now have to keep these useless points until I meet the stringent demands. I launched an EECB with the following letter:
To Whom it May Concern
I have been a capital one member in various forms since the age of 15 (10+ years). In the course of that time period, I have never missed a payment and have always payed my balance off in full. I have never called in to dispute a charge, or take part in any of the additional services you offer. In that process I have accumulated approximately 38,000 reward points.
I wanted to finally redeem these reward points on a trip over Christmas to Puerto Rico. Each ticket was $393, and wanted to use those points to pay it off. When I tried to redeem the points I was told that because the ticket was over $350 I had to earn 60,000 points. I will have to double my current rewards points status, for $44, instead of another $300. There is no way to partially pay for the ticket.
The way your rewards points work is very one sided for being "No Hassle Rewards. The example in my case is: use 35,000 points to redeem $150 – $350 on travel. If my hotel room was $151, I would have to use all 35,000 points. So the best case scenario is to use all $350 or loose $200 worth of points, which equates to over 35,000 reward points using your conversion methods for cash.
For a company to offer "No Hassle Rewards," and to have a customer have to call the rewards department, speak to both a first responder, than a supervisor, hang up, call customer service, executive customer service, to only be told, we can't do anything for your, is quite the hassle.
What I am asking, and I believe this is a fair request is to use 35,000 points to redeem my $350 worth of travel. I do not want to redeem all 35,000 points for a trivial $175, which is what I'm being offered. I've already explained this to the rewards department, as well as senior customer support, and both times I was told, those are terms you agreed to. If I can't use those points for travel, my next suggestion was to take the $175, and be given a credit in the amount of $175 to equal the $350.
These are the charges in question:
OCT 29, 2010 CONTINENTAL HOUSTON TX Airfare $394.20
OCT 29, 2010 CONTINENTAL HOUSTON TX Airfare $394.20
If this can't be done, I will want to terminate my relationship with Capital One. I will redeem the $175, and take my business elsewhere. I can't have a credit card who wants my business, but does not in good faith try to help out its on time customers. I also want to stop other people from falling into this trap, so I will contact the necessary consumer action groups.
Thank you for listening,
Haim [redacted]
Well, it worked. I got a call the next morning from someone saying, that she could not just credit me the charge. However, she will raise my rewards points to 60,000 miles, and then apply them all to one of the tickets. This will take 5 business days. She said in the future, call this number, and someone in the executive office will help me.
Haim didn't send us the special number that Capital One gave him, but that's okay. If you're having trouble with the company, you can learn how to send an executive e-mail carpet bomb of your own.

SAO PAULO (AP) -- Sao Paulo thrashed Universidad de Chile 5-0 on Wednesday to advance to the Copa Sudamericana semifinals with a 7-0 aggregate score.
Midfielder Jadson opened the scoring for Sao Paulo against the defending champions just five minutes into the match at the Pacaembu Stadium, then playmaker Lucas added to the lead in the 22nd and striker Luis Fabiano closed the first-half scoring seven minutes later. Defender Rafael Toloi scored from a free kick in the 65th and Jadson netted again off a breakaway in the 77th.
The Brazilian club won the first leg 2-0 in Chile last week.
A three time Copa Libertadores champion, Sao Paulo will likely face Argentina's Independiente or Chile's Universidad Catolica, which drew 2-2 in the first leg in Argentina. Their return game is Thursday in Chile.

The Sync folder works well, however is there a way to not have a 'Master' folder on either client or server?
As I understand it I currently have to set up one or other as the master folder. If I set the master to be the server (which is my WD MyCloud at home) then if I edit a word document at home then all changes are saved. This word document then gets autosynced to my Android device. At this point all is good.
If I then edit the file on my Android device and save it then on the next sync the file saved on my Android will be overwritten for the Master copy on the WD MyCloud.
If I have the master set to the Android device then only any edits I make on the Android device are synced. If I were to make any changes at home over the LAN it will revert back to the copy on the Android device during the next sync.
Is there any way to have the most recent file synced to both devices?
Thanks for any help.
Is this possible with Auto Sync?
FTP client for Android handsets.

Re: Is this possible with Auto Sync?
No not yet. Master is mandatory, we plan 2-ways sync anyway.

Congenital Heart Defects That Cause Aortic Valve Stenosis
Current as of: October 5, 2017
Find More Information on the Government of BC Website
A congenital heart defect is a malformation that has been present since birth. The most common heart defect that causes aortic valve stenosis is a bicuspid aortic valve. A normal (tricuspid) aortic valve has three flaps, or leaflets. A bicuspid valve has only two leaflets.
This abnormal valve structure causes rough, turbulent blood flow, which over the years can lead to stenosis (narrowing of the aortic valve) through the same degenerative process that occurs in normal valves. The main difference is that people who have bicuspid valves will typically develop stenosis in their 30s or 40s and people who have normal valves may develop stenosis after age 50 or 60.
People who have a bicuspid valve are also more likely than other people to get an infection (infective endocarditis) that can cause the aortic valve to become leaky (aortic regurgitation) as well as narrow.
Two less common congenital defects can cause aortic valve stenosis:

Illegal alien murderer/rapist Humberto Leal had lived in the United States since he was two years old. Hell, based on that fact alone he was almost as American as Barack Obama.
The Associated Press has the final word on the animal's final moments:
Texas executed a Mexican citizen Thursday for the rape-slaying of a teenager after he and the White House pleaded in vain for a Supreme Court stay, saying he was denied help from his home country that could have helped him avoid the death penalty.
In his last minutes, Humberto Leal repeatedly said he was sorry and accepted responsibility.
"I have hurt a lot of people. … I take full blame for everything. I am sorry for what I did," he said in the death chamber.
"One more thing," he said as the drugs began taking effect. Then he shouted twice, "Viva Mexico!"
"Ready warden," he said. "Let's get this show on the road."
He grunted, snored several times and appeared to go to sleep, then stopped all breathing movement. The 38-year-old mechanic was pronounced dead at 6:21 p.m., 10 minutes after the lethal drugs began flowing into his arms.
Our congratulations to the state of Texas for taking this step toward lowering global warming. As of 6:21 Thursday night he will no longer spew any noxious CO2 into the atmosphere.
Viva Texas!

And here's how to choose between electric, hybrid, and petrol cars.
From Bloomberg Finance:
Singapore's vision and strategy for developing financial technology is evolving with rapid technological and industry changes, Monetary Authority of Singapore chief Ravi Menon said, as the regulator prepares for its second FinTech Festival next week.
"What we know now is different from what we knew a year ago" when the MAS held the inaugural festival, Menon told Bloomberg News in an October interview. "So you will see an evolution in our fintech thinking, be it on regulation, be it on data analytics and some of the things that we are doing."

From DollarsAndSense.sg via Yahoo! Finance:
The Vehicular Emissions Scheme (VES) will come into effect this 2018, replacing the current Carbon Emissions Vehicle Scheme (CEVS). New registered cars will still be banded according to their emissions, but the VES is stricter in that it accounts for other pollutants in addition to carbon dioxide. Cleaner cars will qualify for rebates, and cars that with higher emission will incur surcharges. In doing so, the government hopes to incentivise people to buy lower emission vehicles.
The prospect of saving on fuel costs and getting rebates has Singaporeans rather optimistic about owning hybrids, PHEVs and EVs, with a 70 percent increase in petrol-electric hybrid cars in Singapore as of January this year, from 2015.
We calculated the upfront, registration and operating costs of the three types of cars (petrol, hybrids and electric vehicles) under the CEVS as well as the VES, in a bid to see which makes more financial sense.

From The Motley Fool:
A company would have bills to pay and revenue to earn. A company will only fail if it is unable to pay back its bills and its suppliers, or its bank decides to take legal action against the company's failure to pay.
In short, a company would only fail if it does not have the money to pay back its short-term bills and debt. The key here is the lack of liquidity could bring a company to bankruptcy.
Liquidity is not the same as having high debt or having a bad business model. In theory, a company can take on an infinite amount of debt to fund its business. As long as the banks are willing to continue lending it money, even to just repay its old debts, the company can still continue to survive.

To replace a door on a mobile home, unscrew the old door from the frame, pry it off, remove old putty, apply new putty along the flanges of a replacement door, fix the new door in place, and secure with screws and deadbolt locks. A drill with hex head bits, drill bits, screws and a screwdriver are handy in the project.
Unfasten the door from the hinges with a screwdriver, and remove the door from the frame, taking care not to mar the siding. Measure the height and width of the opening with a tape measure, and use the dimensions to purchase a replacement door from a mobile home supply store. If necessary, increase the size of the opening or cut the door accordingly to fit in the opening. If the door doesn't have pre-drilled holes for deadbolt locks, use a drill and appropriate drill bits to create the holes.
Scrape old caulking or putty off the frame. Lay a bead of caulk or putty tape along the edges of the replacement door, and strip off the backing of the tape if required. Insert the door onto the opening, check for square, and carefully drill screws to hold the door in place. Install the deadbolt locks, and test the installation.

As promised two posts ago, I ordered a Zune 80 from Zune Originals late last week. It has officially shipped from China and will arrive on or before this coming Tuesday, December 11. My older brother, who is currently serving our country in Qatar, had me order one for him also, so there are now at least two "May the Funk be with You," Colletivo designed Zune 80s in circulation.
In other news, this week C|Net published a Microsoft Zune 80 vs. Apple iPod classic prizefight, pitting the devices head-to-head in 5 categories: Navigation, Sexiness, Compatibility, Sound and Science and Wallet Factor. The new Zune won every category except compatibility.
It is not clear how a device can win 4 out of 5 categories and the bout still end in a tie. C|Net surely isn't using the Queensberry rules in this contest. In fact, it is reminiscent of Florida balloting in the 2000 presidential election. Hmm…
Regardless, this head-to-head comparison by 3 somewhat-independent judges validates my assertion that Microsoft has outpaced Apple in this category of digital media players in just under a year. To go from laughing stock to serious contender in only v2 is a significant accomplishment. Will Microsoft once again achieve significant market share in v3? Only time will tell.

This is a Python Program to Calculate the Average of Numbers in a Given List.
Problem Description
The program takes the elements of the list one by one and displays the average of the elements of the list.
Problem Solution
1. Take the number of elements to be stored in the list as input.2. Use a for loop to input elements into the list.3. Calculate the total sum of elements in the list.4. Divide the sum by total number of elements in the list.5. Exit.
Program/Source Code
Here is source code of the Python Program to Calculate the Average of Numbers in a Given List. The program output is also shown below.
n=int(input("Enter the number of elements to be inserted: "))
for i in range(0,n):
elem=int(input("Enter element: "))
print("Average of elements in the list",round(avg,2))
Program Explanation
1. User must first enter the number of elements which is stored in the variable n.2. The value of I ranges from 0 to the number of elements and is incremented each time after the body of the loop is executed.3. Then, the element that the user enters is stored in the variable elem.4. a.append(elem) appends the element to the list.5. Now the value of i is incremented to 2.6. The new value entered by the user for the next loop iteration is now stored in elem which is appended to the list.7. The loop runs till the value of i reaches n.8. sum(a) gives the total sum of all the elements in the list and dividing it by the total number of elements gives the average of elements in the list.9. round(avg,2) rounds the average upto 2 decimal places.10.

Mason is currently
worrying: about noises. He's been scared of his webcam (aka video monitor) because it makes a clicking sound as it turns on it's infrared and won't allow it in his room anymore. He thinks a cricket in the garage is scary. Every now and then, he hears a scary noise in the middle of the night that scares him. So sad!
Listening: For the school bus in the morning. Mason's favorite thing is to wait for the school bus to go by the house and suggest we chase it!
Wishing: We would quit asking him if he had to go potty, if he has to pee, or if his undies are dry. He HATES being asked any of these questions, yet still requires prompting (at home) to use the potty. Sorry, kiddo!
Observing: everyone at school. He LOVES telling us about the things his friends at school do every day. From "Chloe is a big grill, she wears undies too!" to "Aaron pushed Logan today!" he definitely pays attention to what the other kids are doing!
Considering: whether what he's currently doing is worth stopping for the lure of a sticker or a new train for using the potty. Usually the answer is no, UNLESS it involves a frog potty in front of the TV. Sensing a theme here?
Mason's Mom is currently
worrying: that the weather will be cruddy on Halloween night. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Halloween and am so excited to go trick or treating with Mason again and if it's raining we can't go.
listening: to lots of songs on Song Pop. This game is so addicting!
wishing: there were more hours in the day. I could really use another 7 hours in the day – 2.5 for my family, 1.5 for the internet, 2 for sleeping, and one for cleaning.
observing – the student intern at work. I'm helping train her and seeing how a total newbie does things really helps me pick up on ways to do (or not to do) things! Also hearing people explain stuff to her that I'm still unclear on has been helpful!
considering: looking into going back to school again. I figure I must be reaching some sort of expiration date soon on all my college credits and I really should finish a degree before they disappear into thin air.

Urgent International Push for Pollard
Hillel Fendel - Arutz7 - November 18, 2008
(IsraelNN.com) A massive and concerted effort is being made to bring about the release of Jonathan Pollard from prison after
23 years- directed both at PM Olmert and Pres. Bush.
In the knowledge that outgoing U.S. President George W. Bush is currently preparing a list of possibly hundreds of American prisoners to pardon, the goal of the international campaign is to have Jonathan Pollard included.
Many feel that this could be Pollard's last chance, after 23 years in prison.
With Prime Minister Ehud Olmert scheduled to leave in a few days for a parting visit with U.S. President George W. Bush - who will leave office in two months' time, just a few weeks before Olmert is to be replaced -massive pressure is being exerted on Olmert to ask Bush for a pardon.
In addition, a phone-in campaign to the White House, in which concerned citizens ask Bush directly to let Pollard to go home, is also getting underway. The Washington phone numbers are: 202-456 -1111 or 202-456-1414.
A film is being circulated via the Internet, in which a host of public figures from both sides of the political spectrum are heard to express their opinions and feelings in favor of Pollard's urgent release.
Among them are former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Danny Ayalon ("the issue must be on their agenda at the parting ceremony"), former Justice Minister Amnon Rubenstein of the Meretz party, former IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Moshe Yaalon, former radical left-wing MK Lova Eliav, Nobel Prize winner Prof. Yisrael Aumann ("I feel personally ashamed and I apologize"), former Supreme Court justice Tzvi Tal, journalist Mati Golan, Prof. Reuven Orda of Tel Aviv University, Makor Rishon editor Amnon Lord, Prof. Eli Pollack, Technologiot editor Dorit Aldoubi, former Deputy Education Minister Moshe Peled, and many more.
The film ends with this message:
"Mr. Prime Minister: This is your responsibility! Do not miss this chance! Bring Pollard back home - alive!"
To see the film (in Hebrew), click here.
To see a letter written by the above personalities, click here.
In addition, dozens of rabbis from throughout the State of Israel have signed an open letter to President Bush, stating simply:
"As a G-d fearing people, we feel a humane and ethical duty to write you concerning a deeply heartfelt matter. Mr. Jonathan Pollard is currently serving his 23rd year in prison. He is ill and his condition is serious. We respectfully request that you act mercifully towards him. Please grant him clemency as a humanitarian gesture to the Jewish People and the State of Israel.
"With G-d's blessing, Mr. Pollard's release will bring only good to the United States and the American People."
The letter is signed by nearly 200 rabbis, including past and present Chief Rabbis, members of the Chief Rabbinate Council, chief rabbis of cities and regional councils, and more.
Not for What He Did, But for What Was Done to Him
Pollard was convicted on one count of passing classified information to a U.S. ally - Israel - and lost the chance to ever directly appeal his sentence simply because of a technical oversight by his then-lawyer, Richard Hibey. As the JonathanPollard.org website explains, "Hibey, astonishingly, failed to file a time-limited statement of intent to file a direct appeal. This failure - too gross to be a mere oversight - then prevented Jonathan Pollard from ever exercising his constitutional right to a direct appeal of his sentence."
Attys. Eliot Lauer and Jacques Semmelman, who took on the Pollard case many years later at no charge, later made a claim of "ineffective assistance" on Pollard's behalf, Semmelman explaining, "I was appalled at the quality of the legal representation Jonathan received. It became apparent to us that Jonathan Pollard was sentenced to life not because of what he did, but because of what was done to him."

Xiaomi Tablet Insider Information: Actually Two Versions/Very Sturdy
by Apr 22, 2014 6:47 pm0
There has been a lot of news regarding the Xiaomi tablet recently. Currently most people believe the Xiaomi table with have an 8-inch touchscreen display (2048 x 1536 resolution), and run on a NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor with a Foxconn OEM. However, today, sources discovered from Foxconn that the Xiaomi tablet actually has a variety of options to choose from.
According to a micro-blog user's private intelligence leaks, currently the Xiaomi model used for testing by Foxconn uses a 7.85 inch 2048 x 1536 touchscreen display, with the processor actually being an Intel BayTrail-T CR Quad-Core. Xiaomi considered using Intel because Intel provided a higher subsidy for tablet processors, and provided impressive performance. With the assurance of quality as well as reduced manufacturing costs, Foxconn has already produced around 100 units of a prototype for testing.
Along with Foxconn, Xiaomi also has hired Taiwan's Inventec to commence testing, and the device specifications of the model being tested by Inventec features an NVIDIA Tegra K1. It is uncertain whether Xiaomi will actually release both variations onto the market, or decide on one.
Comparatively peaking, the possibility of Xiaomi releasing the Intel model is higher, as Intel's branding is more prominent, and is more powerful in terms of supply and product subsidies. Adding Xiaomi's huge marketing power, Intel may put Xiaomi in a more favourable position.
Lastly, comparing the similarities, currently Xiaomi has not let Foxconn go ahead with preparations, therefore it is still very early in the production phase. Looking at the schedule, it looks like the Xiaomi tablet will only meet us during the third quarter earliest.

Active Substance: interferon alfa-2b
Common Name: interferon alfa-2b
ATC Code: L03AB05
Marketing Authorisation Holder: Merck Sharp & Dohme Limited
Active Substance: interferon alfa-2b
Status: Authorised
Authorisation Date: 2000-03-09
Therapeutic Area: Multiple Myeloma Leukemia, Myelogenous, Chronic, BCR-ABL Positive Hepatitis B, Chronic Carcinoid Tumor Leukemia, Hairy Cell Lymphoma, Follicular Melanoma Hepatitis C, Chronic
Pharmacotherapeutic Group: Immunostimulants
Therapeutic Indication
Chronic hepatitis B
Treatment of adult patients with chronic hepatitis B associated with evidence of hepatitis-B viral replication (presence of DNA of hepatitis-B virus (HBV-DNA) and hepatitis-B antigen (HBeAg), elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and histologically proven active liver inflammation and / or fibrosis.
Chronic hepatitis C
Before initiating treatment with IntronA, consideration should be given to the results from clinical trials comparing IntronA with pegylated interferon.
Adult patients
IntronA is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with chronic hepatitis C who have elevated transaminases without liver decompensation and who are positive for hepatitis-C virus-RNA (HCV-RNA).
The best way to use IntronA in this indication is in combination with ribavirin.
Children three years of age and older and adolescents
IntronA is indicated, in a combination regimen with ribavirin, for the treatment of children three years of age and older and adolescents, who have chronic hepatitis C, not previously treated, without liver decompensation, and who are positive for HCV-RNA. When deciding not to defer treatment until adulthood, it is important to consider that the combination therapy induced a growth inhibition that resulted in reduced final adult height in some patients.
The decision to treat should be made on a case-by-case basis.
Hairy-cell leukaemia
Treatment of patients with hairy cell leukaemia.
Chronic myelogenous leukaemia
Treatment of adult patients with Philadelphia-chromosome- or bcr/abl-translocation-positive chronic myelogenous leukaemia.
Clinical experience indicates that a haematological and cytogenetic major / minor response is obtainable in the majority of patients treated. A major cytogenetic response is defined by < 34 % Ph+ leukaemic cells in the bone marrow, whereas a minor response is ≥ 34 %, but < 90 % Ph+ cells in the marrow.
Combination therapy
The combination of interferon alfa-2b and cytarabine (Ara-C) administered during the first 12 months of treatment has been demonstrated to significantly increase the rate of major cytogenetic responses and to significantly prolong the overall survival at three years when compared to interferon alfa-2b monotherapy.
Multiple myeloma
As maintenance therapy in patients who have achieved objective remission (more than 50% reduction in myeloma protein) following initial induction chemotherapy.
Current clinical experience indicates that maintenance therapy with interferon alfa-2b prolongs the plateau phase; however, effects on overall survival have not been conclusively demonstrated.
Follicular lymphoma
Treatment of high-tumour-burden follicular lymphoma as adjunct to appropriate combination induction chemotherapy such as a CHOP-like regimen. High tumour burden is defined as having at least one of the following: bulky tumour mass (> 7 cm), involvement of three or more nodal sites (each > 3 cm), systemic symptoms (weight loss > 10 %, pyrexia > 38°C for more than eight days, or nocturnal sweats), splenomegaly beyond the umbilicus, major organ obstruction or compression syndrome, orbital or epidural involvement, serous effusion, or leukaemia.
Carcinoid tumour
Treatment of carcinoid tumours with lymph node or liver metastases and with 'carcinoid syndrome'.
Malignant melanoma
As adjuvant therapy in patients who are free of disease after surgery but are at high risk of systemic recurrence, e.g. patients with primary or recurrent (clinical or pathological) lymph-node.
What is IntronA?
IntronA is a medicine that contains the active substance interferon alfa-2b. It is available as a powder and solvent that are made up into a solution for injection or infusion (drip into a vein), and as a ready-to-use solution for injection in a vial or in a multidose pen. These contain between 1 and 50 million international units (IU) per millilitre.
What is IntronA used for?
IntronA is used for the treatment of the following diseases:
- long-term hepatitis B (a disease of the liver due to infection with the hepatitis-B virus) in adults (aged 18 years and older);
- long-term hepatitis C (a disease of the liver due to infection with the hepatitis-C virus) in patients aged three years and older. It is usually used in combination with ribavirin (an antiviral medicine);
- hairy-cell leukaemia (a cancer of the white blood cells);
- chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML, a cancer of the white blood cells) in adults. IntronA can be used in combination with cytarabine (an anticancer medicine) in the first year;
- multiple myeloma (a cancer of the bone marrow). IntronA is used to maintain anticancer effects in patients who have responded to previous treatment with anticancer medicines;
- follicular lymphoma (a cancer of the lymph tissue). IntronA is used as an add-on to anticancer treatments;
- carcinoid tumour (a tumour of the endocrine system that produces hormones);
- malignant melanoma (a type of skin cancer affecting cells called melanocytes). IntronA is used after surgery in patients whose melanoma could come back.
The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription.
How is IntronA used?
Treatment with IntronA should be started by a doctor who has experience in the management of the disease it is being used for. IntronA is generally given three times per week but the injection can be given more frequently in CML and melanoma. It is generally given by injection under the skin, but in melanoma it can also be given by infusion. The dose and duration of treatment depend on the disease being treated and the response of the patient, with doses ranging from 2 to 20 million IU per square metre of body surface area (calculated using the patient's height and weight). Patients can inject themselves once they have been trained appropriately. For more information, see the package leaflet.
How does IntronA work?
The active substance in IntronA, interferon alfa-2b, belongs to the group 'interferons'. Interferons are natural substances produced by the body to help it fight against attacks such as infections caused by viruses. The exact way that they work in cancer and viral diseases is not fully understood, but it is thought that they act as immunomodulators (substances that modify how the immune system works).
They may also block the multiplication of viruses.
Interferon alfa-2b has been available in the European Union (EU) for the treatment of various diseases for a number of years. The interferon alfa-2b in IntronA is produced by a method known as 'recombinant DNA technology': it is made by a bacterium that has received a gene (DNA), which makes it able to produce interferon alfa-2b. The replacement interferon alfa-2b acts in same way as naturally produced interferon alpha.
How has IntronA been studied?
Because interferon alfa-2b has been used in the EU for a number of years, the company presented the results of studies from the published literature, as well as from studies of its use with cytarabine in CML and studies of IntronA used alone (in adults) or with ribavirin (in patients from three years of age) for the treatment of long-term hepatitis C. The main measures of effectiveness were the number of patients who responded to treatment in the hepatitis studies and how long the patients survived in the cancer studies.
What benefit has IntronA shown during the studies?
The studies showed that IntronA is effective in the diseases for which it can be used. In CML, more patients who received IntronA with cytarabine were still alive after three years than patients who only received IntronA. IntronA was also shown to be effective in treating hepatitis C in adults when it was used with or without ribavirin, and in younger patients when used with ribavirin.
What is the risk associated with IntronA?
In adults, the most common side effects with IntronA used with or without ribavirin (seen in more than 1 patient in 10) are pharyngitis (sore throat), viral infection, leucopenia (low white-blood-cell counts), loss of appetite, depression, insomnia (difficulty sleeping), anxiety, emotional lability (mood swings), agitation, nervousness, dizziness, headache, impaired concentration, dry mouth, blurred vision, dyspnoea (difficulty breathing), coughing, nausea (feeling sick) or vomiting, abdominal pain (stomach ache), diarrhoea, stomatitis (inflammation of the lining of the mouth), dyspepsia (heartburn), alopecia (hair loss), pruritus (itching), dry skin, rash, increased sweating, myalgia (muscle pain), arthralgia (joint pain), musculoskeletal pain (pain in the muscles and bones), reactions at the site of the injection including inflammation, fatigue (tiredness), rigors (shaking chills), pyrexia (fever), flu-like symptoms, asthenia (weakness), irritability, chest pain, malaise (feeling unwell) and weight loss. In children and adolescents receiving IntronA in combination with ribavirin, side effects were similar to adults, although anaemia (low red blood cell counts), neutropenia (low levels of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell), hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland) and reduced growth were also seen in more than 1 patient in 10. For the full list of all side effects reported with IntronA, see the package leaflet.
IntronA should not be used in people who may be hypersensitive (allergic) to interferon alfa-2b or any of the other ingredients. IntronA must not be used in patients with severe kidney or liver disease, epilepsy or other central-nervous-system problems, or thyroid disease that is not controlled. It must not be used in patients who have had severe heart disease or certain immune-system disorders, in patients who are taking medicines that suppress the immune system, in hepatitis patients who have liver cirrhosis (scarring) that is causing symptoms or who have recently received medicines that affect the immune system, or in children or adolescents with a history of severe mental illness, particularly severe depression, thoughts about committing suicide or suicide attempts. For a list of all restrictions with IntronA, see the package leaflet.
Because IntronA is linked to side effects such as depression, patients must be closely monitored during treatment. IntronA in combination with ribavirin is also linked to weight loss and reduced growth in children and adolescents. Doctors should take this risk into account when deciding whether to treat a patient before adulthood.
Why has IntronA been approved?
The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) decided that IntronA's benefits are greater than its risks and recommended that it be given marketing authorisation.
Other information about IntronA
The European Commission granted a marketing authorisation valid throughout the EU for IntronA on 9 March 2000. The marketing authorisation is valid for an unlimited period.
For more information about treatment with IntronA, read the package leaflet (also part of the EPAR) or contact your doctor or pharmacist.

This week at the last moment Linda and I decided to run the Marti Estes 5k in Mooresville. Our friend Michele Hoheiser, who was 1st overall female last year, said it was a lot of fun so we decided to meet up and run it.
Marti Estes was an avid runner, kindergarten teacher, committed Christian, and faithful member of First Presbyterian Church in Mooresville. Marti passed away prematurely in 2005 and the church holds this fundraising race in her honor each year. This year's race had 624 registered runners and walkers and raised $22,500 for three charities in Mooresville. The race began at First Presbyterian Church and after winding its way through town ended at the First Baptist Church several blocks away.
The race was enjoyable but the start was a mess, with lots of younger kids lining up at the start and flailing around for the first half mile or so of the race. It amazes me how most kids seldom run in a straight line. I don't really mind, but it can get a little dangerous out there. I was behind one grownup who was tripped up in the mayhem and took a hard fall to the pavement. Luckily he wasn't hurt badly and was able to continue in the race, but I talked to him briefly after the race and one of his knees was a mess. I kind of enjoy getting out there and mixing it up with the young'uns, but it was a relief to finally get past the pandemonium.
When we came to a clear area I could count the runners ahead of me and I was in about 15th place at a half mile or so into the race. For a while I tried counting people as they passed me or I passed them just so I'd know where I was at in the race, but I lost the count and decided not to worry about it. It was a pleasant surprise at the end of the race when I found out I had finished in fifth place overall, which is the highest I've ever finished in a race. I finished fifth in two other races, but those were both much smaller races with maybe 100 runners, whereas this race had 515 finishers Okay, there were quite a few walkers; nevertheless, it was fun to finish that far up in the pack.

To save a kingdom, Zara must choose between a prince who could be the answer and a rising rebellion that threatens to take control.
When Zara Dane is chosen to marry Prince Sebastian Hart, son of the man who ordered her father's capture, Zara knows she must fight to save everything she loves from ruin.
Being betrothed to the prince means a life trapped behind the towering stone walls of the Camelot-forged realm. Under the watchful eye of the prince's first knight, Sir Devlan Capra, changing her future becomes difficult.
When an unlikely rebel reveals the truth about the deadly secrets that fuel King Hart's twisted world, Zara's path to rescue her father becomes clouded by deception. The Rebels clear her path by forcing Zara's hand with an ultimatum: sway Prince Sebastian to join the Rebels, convincing him of his father's evil nature, or they will take him out.
But Zara is uncertain about a future under the Rebels' command and where the prince's heart truly lies. She must decide who to trust, what to believe, and what she's truly fighting for before the king destroys all of Karm, including her heart.
