A passionate, sweeping novel of a love that transcends time.
When twenty-something Wall Street analyst Kate Wilson attracts the notice of the legendary Julian Laurence at a business meeting, no one's more surprised than she is. Julian's relentless energy and his extraordinary intellect electrify her, but she's baffled by his sudden interest. Why would this handsome British billionaire—Manhattan's most eligible bachelor—pursue a pretty but bookish young banker who hasn't had a boyfriend since college?
The answer is beyond imagining - at least at first. Kate and Julian's story may have begun not in the moneyed world of 21st-century Manhattan but in France during World War I, when a mysterious American woman emerged from the shadows of the Western Front to save the life of Captain Julian Laurence Ashford, a celebrated war poet and infantry officer.
Now, in modern-day New York, Kate and Julian must protect themselves from the secrets of the past, and trust in a true love that transcends time and space.

True Love Spans Forever
You keep shifting timelines in this. Kate and Julian are getting it together, but they seem to have met before in France. Is it a case of past lives or time travel? I can't give too much away without spoiling the plot.
I would say that the English accents were pretty dodgy and this book is a case of 'maybe the abridged version would be better'.

Rare Find!
It's not very often that you come across a book that has everything, mystery, love, good flow, and an amazing narrator but this one has it all! I decided to get this book on a whim, not having read anything by the author before or knowing much about the storyline. I can only stand amazed at the beauty of this book. Time travel romance has been getting popular in the past few years but it is hard to find books that have good enough flow to really convince the reader. Outlander and The Time Travelers Wife both were able to do this beautifully, and now the Overseas story is going to join those prestigious ranks. This story is wholesome without smut although I was a little surprised by the amount of cursing due to the fact that the author was very conservative for the love scenes. None of the love scenes were described in much detail, just the before and after but it does flow nicely. Leaving the details to the imagination of the reader/listener. I, myself usually like a nice steamy love scene and although I was a little disappointed none were included I still enjoyed the reading. The story is classically romantic and the narrator is absolutely AMAZING! January LaVoy has the ability to really bring this story to life. I think it was the first time I've been able to really feel the teasing affection between to characters in such detail. I was very impressed with her, the writing was excellent but January LaVoy really made the story live and breath. I highly recommend this book for anyone that likes classic romance without a lot of detailed love scenes.

Although romance isn't the genre I usually read, I still enjoyed this one. It is very, "vanilla" by most romance standards, but still has an interesting twist and likeable, if not terribly developed characters. The author also managed to tie up most of the lose ends and answer most of the questions posed in the story by book's end (something I especially like author's to do.)
The book wasn't "Outlander" caliber, but then it didn't take days to read (or years waiting for the next part of the story either). I'd call it a "doughnut" book- a sweet treat, enjoyable every once in awhile.

Any additional comments?
Oh. My. Gosh! That was the most romantic, absourbing ride I've been on in a very long time! An to think, I got this as a spur of the moment impulse! Now I want a Julian for my very own! I'm an avid reader of romance and this is like nothing like I've ever encountered. I adored the sweet romance and heartbreakingly beautiful love between these two and how far they were willing to go for one another. I found myself completely enraptured with their lives - I'm finishing this dang thing at FIVE friggin A.M! Just a warning for you potential readers out there - there are no steamy sex scenes in this book!!! There is plenty of tension (so much that I was drooling for one - and kinda bummed that there wasn't just a teeny one) and lots of play. Sometimes I think that leaves a "romance" novel almost lacking in some way, unless the author can pull off something that makes the readers overlook that. But Overseas does it beautifully, in such a way that I didn't feel I was missing out and it made it almost more endearing.
I absolutely loved January LaVoy! I've never heard any of her previous works. I loved how she made it easy to keep the characters straight an her english accents were awesome - especially Julian's. I like how she didn't go to far overboard with her male voices like so many are prone to do and her voice is very pleasing to listen to.
I'm sooo glad I caved and got this book! One of the best impulses/credits I ever spent! I can't wait to see was Ms. Williams comes up with next!

Chick Lit and Romance plus Sci-Fi
I wasn't ready for the first two (particularly the trembling lips and broad shoulders parts) and it doesn't do for me. The narrator is great and the premise has recently become fascinating to me -Replay in particular. I'd compare and contrast Overseas with The Mirror by Marlys Millhiser which has similar time travel and a female lead; even has fainting, and while it has romance, it's farther from a romance novel. January LaVoy is great!

Incredibly Dull and Waaaay too much Saccharine
First I have to admit I did not finish this book. It is potentially possible that on the last few pages the author came up with a more well thought out explanation for time travel, made the characters more realistically shocked, and at least initially skeptical about the whole idea of time travel, and while she was at it gave the two main characters a personality. But I doubt it.
Instead, the hero was so heroic that regardless of how attractive and rich he was, he was so dull and priggish that no one would ever consider running the risk of going back in time to World War I France just to save his ass. Just because a man was born into the upper class of Britain at the end of the 19th century, died tragically young in a violent, bloody war and wrote poetry about it, doesn't mean he can't have a sense of humor, be completely unable to flirt, be so overprotective it bordered, no crossed the line, into obsession and generally had as much personality as his buried remains would have had, if he had actually died in the battle that transported him forward 90 years.
And the main character was evidently brilliant. Enough that she landed a plumb job at a cutthroat New York investment bank. But she wasn't smart enough to figure out that she was being set up by a woman she knew disliked her and who had the morals of a snake, or to even ask why this titan of industry searched her out in her cubicle and was immediately smitten with her. Or to ask why she was being hidden in the Connecticut country side. (Did anyone else wonder how hard it would be to trace them to the cottage in Connecticut, if he commuted back and forth to the city daily in an easy to spot Maserati?) They weren't exactly incognito.
I thought the narrator did a good job. But she could not save this drivel.

Julian = Edward Cullen
Move over, "50 Shades", there's a new Twilight fanfic in town! I'm really surprised that no one has mentioned this yet but Julian is basically a British Edward Cullen. He's an overbearing, filthy rich piano prodigy who is so beautiful that Kate can't stop talking about it. Kate is Bella Swan. She's a swooning damsel-in-distress who is gorgeous but doesn't realize it and although book smart, does a ridiculous number of frustratingly stupid things. That's not to mention how many plot points seem to be a direct rip-off of events from "Twilight". I won't list them out to avoid spoilers but trust me, it's true - especially in the first half of the book.
Other than "Twilight", it also reminded me of "The Time Traveler's Wife" and "My Name Is Memory" mixed together. I enjoyed how descriptive it was (all of the gushing over Julian's looks aside) but the plot is pretty iffy. The impetus for the time travel is farfetched and bizarre at best. And while it was nice that everything wrapped up neatly, it was annoying that it all happened via a conversation between two characters.
I seem to be in the minority here but I didn't like the narration at all. The voice she does for Alicia seems like it would have fit Kate better. Kate sounds a little too old. And her male voices are terrible. Charlie sounds like a surfer. Julian sounds a little stodgy - definitely nothing like the leonine god he is described as over and over.
Overall, this was an OK listen. If a sequel came along, I might give it a shot although I'd definitely read it rather than listen to it if the narrator remains the same.

Interesting take on time travel
The story was well written although, to my mind, it could have been edited a little more tightly. It is a good story, has an interesting 'take' on time travel and let me completely ignore the unreality of the story, from time travel to ending.
All that said, I don't think I'd have found the book nearly as interesting without the AMAZING talent of Ms LaVoy. Her delivery was, to my ears, flawless. Pacing was excellent, differentiation of voices was skillfull and absolute, and she does a fantastic job with accents. Even the parts that dragged were tolerable with the absolutely believable delivery.
The book has its hair-raising parts and some suspense and confusion but nothing that made Wussy-me want to either put the book aside or skip through parts. Those of you who are not fond of thrillers will know what I mean and can feel safe cozying up to this book.
While I probably will not reread this book, it was absolutely worth doing the first time, and definitely worth the credit.

Hist. Romance & a touch of time travel-NOT Si Fi
For some reason this was in the Science Fiction department and it's about as much Si Fi as "Outlander" by Diana Gabeldon is..don't get me wrong-I love the Outlander series, but basically they are historical romances and not Si Fi -They have a bit of time travel,but its not necessarily central to the plot. This novel falls into the same category
The bits of flash back to the early WWI era that constitutes the time-travel and the returning to current time were confusing at first-I had to rewind and listen again several times-finally I got the eras correct and my listening smoothed out. The reason for time travel and how it's done doesn't come until the final chapters of "Overseas" and that was irritating..no real reason for it to be held off so long and the explanation is dumb IMO but, then, I'm not the author.
"Overseas" is a real romance though and, for the most, it's adequately done. The plot is one that keeps romances going..rich man meets financially floundering woman and though she insists she can take cafe of herself, he swoops in with jewels and pearls and a unending ticket for private air travel..all of which have something eventually to do with the time travel, but when introduced are dumb and contrived. I had a problem with the female protagonist, who is a dynamic stockbroker and a firm woman in real life but always gives in to her old fashioned and overbearing male lead/protagonist. Granted he grew up in the early 1900s and women were treated differently then, but he's been in current time for quite a while when he meets the female protagonist and I wished the author had allowed him to grow a bit in attitude.
The reading was well done-January LaVoy has a great voice and did a good job on accents and male voices. Her narration added excitement to the book for me.
I call this story average-it's the kind of book I'd rather have read myself and bought at the used book store for $2.00 instead of spending a credit on it here. It's worth a listen if you love, love, love Historical Romance...just don't make the mistake I did and think it's actually Science Fiction-time travel. If you just occasionally enjoy historical romance, put it on a list for the used book store and pick it up there to read for yourself.
I was disappointed.

Interesting twists
First of all, January LaVoy is a wonderful narrator. For me, a narrator can literally make or break a book. LaVoy, was able to keep me interested. There are so many twists and turns in this book that, I may have lost interest if the narartor was of the monotone runon type. This was not the case. Although, I found myself having to rewind a few times, during the story, just to understand what was actually happening and why, it was a enjoyable read, and it kept my interest. I highly recommend the book. The story had it all. Good guys, bad guys, true love, Wall Street, betrayal and even time travel!

Great listen - different kind of story
this was a different kind of love story - not an easy listen since you need to keep track of which of the two time slots you are in at any time.
Narrator did a great job and kept interest to the end.
Worth a credit!!!!!!

App Review: iMobsters v2.0 by Storm8
by Dustin on
September 8, 2010
Filed under Games, iPhone Apps
Get ready to join the mafia! iMobsters is a one of the classics of role playing games for the ipod/iphone. It has thousands of people playing daily. It is always having updates,new game releases, and new weapons,cars and missons. I have little or no problems with this game. A few people have problems with it loosing wi-fi connection or crashing, but that is very rare.
The object of the role playing game is to become the strongest and fastest against thousands of players. The game offers an endless amount of guns,protection,real estate and vehicles each time that you gain a new level. You run on energy while playing the game, the more you do missions the less energy you have. When attacking anther player you have stamina buy kamagra online uk. Start off with 3 and each time you attack you loose 1. Your health bar bepends on how much damage you get when attacked or doing missions. You can refill you energy, stamina or health with favor points or just waiting the time limit. Favor points can be bought or by downloading free games that it advertises.
The graphics on the game are excellent as far as the guns,protection, and vehicles. The introduction to the game is great and so is the icon and home screen. The game has little sound but the introduction sound is great and the sound effects for the missions are good.
Overall, It is my favorite online game to play. It is fun, competitive and has a tuff challenge.

Original Trinity Hymnal, #575
My God and Father, day by day,
Far from my home in life's rough way,
O teach me from my heart to say,
"Thy will be done."
Though dark my path and sad my lot,
Let me be still and murmur not,
Or breathe the prayer divinely taught,
"Thy will be done."
What though in lonely grief I sigh
For friends belov'd, no longer nigh,
Submissive still would I reply,
"Thy will be done."
If thou shouldst call me to resign
What most I prize, it ne'er was mine;
I only yield thee what was thine,
"Thy will be done."
Let but my fainting heart be blest
With thy sweet Spirit for its guest,
My God, to thee I leave the rest:
"Thy will be done."

Hey loveys, I decided to compile the best fall fashion styles, makeup, and hair looks for this upcoming season! Here in New England especially fall and winter are a time for packing away the shorts and flip flops and dragging out the old dumpy sweaters! BUT ladies, just because it's cold doesn't mean our fashion must fail. SO here are the best of the best fall and winter looks, so with the start of the cold weather you can transition in style. I will say you should still keep warm and comfy, but don't need a snow suit :p
Let's look at the hair! Fall is great to get funky with the braids and up dos, set let's get fancy!
Whimsical and pretty! Here is a sweet style for medium hair lengths pulled back with a sweet head band.
Love this fresh faced look, complimented by and easy hair do! You get to see the nice length of the hair, but the bangs are twisted back to showcase your makeup!
Great for those bad hair days! A simple fix with a cute bow!
Beautiful and braided! If you have the time a french braid can really dress up your look.
A cozy cap can be so warm and perfect for those winter days when you have no time to wash your hair!
Let's get dressed up, warm, and stylish. YES WARM AND STYLISH!
What a smart looking outfit for the transition from fall in to winter. I love the dark jeans, leather boots, and a classy jacket is perfect for a complete look in the cold.
I am in love with this ensemble. A nude knit sweater turtle neck and a wine colored skirt is very romantic is feminine looking.
For a girl tough to the cold, some cute pink Uggs and tights look adorable!
I hate winter jackets! They are usually full of fluff and fattening looking. You can stay warm without all the padding, and settle for a nicer long jacket, this one has a particularly gorgeous violet color.
Lovely textures! A snowy white long sleeve and vintage pattern skirt! I love the statement necklace on top as well.
Your nails get cold too! Better coverup! Here are some warming winter colors!
Square and dark, love the deep blood red color. Very Vampy.
Gold and a deep taupe are always in style and look very dressy!
Glitter and periwinkle attack! Very magical and a great color combo!
This color is great! It is a witchy green, that is a great complementary color for all skin tones!
& For my favorite the winter and fall makeup looks!
Bold brows, and burnt cranberry eyes. This is a very vampire inspired eye, with a fierce and fiery twist.
Great sparkling pumpkin look! This is a sweet eye look that pulls together all the colors of foliage and adds some special glitter.
Great glamour look using greens and a highlight color. This would be beautiful for green and brown eyes.
Yup, I dropped a photo of Miley. I know, I know Judge fest lol But I love her makeup her! There is something timelessly classic about a ruby lip and great lashes.
A shimmery nude look is perfect for the everyday makeup wearer. This image is great because it shows you witch shadows to use where. This look really widens the eye and can go with any outfit.
That's it for now, hope you enjoyed seeing what inspires my fall and winter wardrobe. Basically its a nice mix of classy taupes with pops of color! All images I got from Pinterest, it is a great site for fashion and makeup inspiration. You can check out my Pinterest here ! 🙂
Hope you enjoyed reading, thank you and Love always Pearlsnheels ❤

Sam was in awe of Cayden's ability to walk- he's so close to crawling!
Then they played pass the pacifier (ew, but funny) and tease the doggie!
While the boys crawled, cruised, walked, and fell over, Jess and I got busy decorating! I've mentioned my 1st edition Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book before- I still love it. It's just so...of the times. It suggests broiled grapefruit, peanut butter-bacon canapes, and jellied bouillon for appetizers and has a three page spread on table service.
Considering how much I enjoy keeping house, I think I was born in the wrong era. Though I'm pretty sure my Where the Wild Things Are t-shirt would not have been considered appropriate mommy attire for a playdate...or ever.
I followed the recipe for the light dough:
1/3 cup soft shortening (I used unsalted butter)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
2/3 cup honey (I used half honey, half maple syrup)
1 tsp vanilla
2 3/4 cups flour (I used King Arthur White Whole Wheat)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
Mix together thoroughly: shortening/butter, sugar, egg, honey, and vanilla. Sift together and stir in: flour, baking soda, and salt.
Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes (I baked for 8 minutes and they came out perfect!)
These have a definite honey taste and are super sweet, but isn't that what you want in a iced sugar cookie? Besides, I think people who say things are "too sweet" are bonkers.
Rather than dealing with homemade frosting, I bought the Betty Crocker cookie icing. It worked perfectly and was pretty much mess free- love! The taste isn't half bad either...I love how I'm being so non-committal about the taste- I've eaten like 7 cookies! They are delicious.
Must give them all away NOW.

I'm trying to read the values in a depth texture of type
I know this means "24 bits for depth, 8 bits for stencil" "A 32-bit z-buffer format that supports 24 bits for depth and 8 bits for stencil.", but how do you interpret those 24 bits?
It's clearly not going to be a 32-bit int, and it's not going to be a 32-bit float. If it is an integer value, how "far away" is a value of "1" in the depth texture?

By John C. Dhabolt (Nashua, NH United States)
By Anthony Fernandes "Author of Airship Eagle"
If you like fast-paced sci-fi action, this book is for you. It caught my interest right from the start with good characterization and a premise that kept me turning pages. The story is structured like a movie, with quick scenes keeping it moving right up to the end. The dialogue is very natural and there are interesting ideas that add much to the story--explanations of common beliefs and theories such as reincarnation, UFOs, the Big Bang, etc. The alien races are varied and I especially enjoyed the humor supplied by the goofy two-headed KokoroTetians. I am very impressed with this author and look forward to reading his next book.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (UWECBlugolds.com) - The UW-Eau Claire football team snapped a three-game losing streak with a 20-14 win over UW-Oshkosh at Carson Park tonight.
The Blugolds (4-4, 2-3 WIAC) got on the board quickly with a touchdown just over four minutes into the game. After the Blugolds opened with a drive but were forced to punt, Oshkosh (4-4, 3-2 WIAC) ran two plays on its opening drive but the third cost the Titans a score. Oshkosh's Charlie Weissman fumbled on the play and the Blugolds' Chris Olson (Jr.-Stratford, Wis.) recovered and took the ball 13 yards into the end zone to give Eau Claire the lead.
On the Blugolds' next possession, a fumble by Matt Olson (Jr.-Stratford, Wis./Stratford/Winona State) gave the Titans the ball back on the Eau Claire 31. After a few plays the Titans made it to the Eau Claire 17 and on a fourth-and-seven they attempted a fake field goal but Chad Samuelson (Jr.-St. Paul, Minn./Cretin-Derham Hall) intercepted a pass in the end zone to give the ball back to Eau Claire.
The teams went back and forth until the end of the second quarter, when Joel Sweeney (Fr.-Tomah, Wis.) scored on a seven-yard run with 42 seconds left before halftime. A failed kick left the score at 13-0 at the intermission.
Late in the third quarter, the Blugolds started a drive that ended with a touchdown in the fourth. Sweeney capped off an 11-play, 77-yard drive that lasted more than eight minutes with a two-yard touchdown run.
Oshkosh didn't go quietly, however, and scored a touchdown on each of its next two possessions. The last touchdown came with just a little more than three minutes left but the Blugolds were able to hold onto the ball the rest of the way for the 20-14 win.
The teams were nearly even in yardage with 395 for the Blugolds compared to 375 for Oshkosh. Eau Claire held a major advantage in time of possession, however, with more than 36 minutes to Oshkosh's time of just under 24. Each team recovered a fumble while Eau Claire had two interceptions and Oshkosh had one.
Sweeney led the game with 232 rushing yards on 42 carries, both of which rank seventh on the Blugolds' all-time lists in their respective categories. Austin Neu (So.-Iron Ridge, Wis./Hustisford) led the Blugolds in passing with 153 yards (13-for-23) while David Goodman (Jr.-Neenah, Wis.) had a game-high 67 yards receiving on five catches.
On defense, Andy Neumann (Jr.-Germantown, Wis.) led the game with nine tackles. Mark Bader (Sr.-Burnsville, Minn.) had an interception along with Samuelson.
Eau Claire will be back on the road next weekend facing UW-La Crosse. Action will get underway at 11:30 a.m. and the game will be televised live on WQOW TV 18/WXOW TV 19 in the Eau Claire-La Crosse area.

Conferences in Fall 2006
On 10-12 November, Historic Deerfield is hosting a symposium on powder horns of the French & Indian War, in connection to its exhibit of the William H. Guthman collection of horns.

The OIEAHC conference is free, and I'm already an Institute associate. I have an uncle in Knoxville who might be willing to put me up. But can I wrangle the airfare and the time away? (Plus, at next June's OIEAHC/Society of Early Americanists conference in Williamsburg there will be a panel on apprentices. Oh, what to do?)

A new method of determining some characteristics of binary images is proposed based on a special linear filtering. This technique enables the estimation of the area fraction, the specific line length, and the specific integral of curvature. Furthermore, the specific length of the total projection is obtained, which gives detailed information about the texture of the image. The influence of lateral and directional resolution depending on the size of the applied filter mask is discussed in detail. The technique includes a method of increasing directional resolution for texture analysis while keeping lateral resolution as high as possible.
This paper deals with the characterization of microscopically heterogeneous, but macroscopically homogeneous spatial structures. A new method is presented which is strictly based on integral-geometric formulae such as Crofton's intersection formulae and Hadwiger's recursive de nition of the Euler number. The corresponding algorithms have clear advantages over other techniques. As an example of application we consider the analysis of spatial digital images produced by means of Computer Assisted Tomo- graphy.

Resetting Your Pocket PC Phone
Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A normal (or soft) reset of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down all active programs. This can be useful when your device is running slower than normal, or a program is not performing properly. A soft reset is also necessary after the installation of some programs. If a soft reset is performed when programs are running, unsaved work will be lost. You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a system problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings — the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed programs will remain.
To perform a soft reset
• Use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button onthe bottom of your device. Your device restarts and displays the Today screen.
To perform a hard reset
Press and hold the Left SOFT KEY and the Right SOFT KEY, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the bottom of your device.
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Once students have a genuine, rich, researchable question, investigating is the logical next step. As with each phase of the inquiry process, the way in which the teacher structures the investigation will depend on the scope of the inquiry and the needs of the students. Regardless of the structure, however, teachers should focus on two important processes during this phase: researching information, and discussing and refining that information.
Research: In their book Inquiry-Based English Instruction, educators Richard Beach and Jamie Myers detail an inquiry into "social worlds" -- an inquiry which draws on students' real lives as family members, dwellers in a community, students in school, etc. Beach and Myers recommend that students choose one social world to investigate, whether a "lived" one that they can actually visit, or one represented by literature or the media; students might choose anything from a medieval world described in a novel to the real world of snowboarding culture. They learn about the context of such worlds by exploring their history, culture, purposes, and beliefs, and the roles and rules within each one. They then look at the "tools" -- such as language, clothes, and possessions -- that those within each world use to construct their social identity. To do this, they observe, take notes, draw maps, interview residents of that particular world, and analyze their own reactions to what they have found.
Teacher Bo Wu's students engage in a version of this activity when they start making connections between the book they have read and their own lives. Part of their research on a question raised by Esmeralda Santiago's memoir, When I Was Puerto Rican, involves making timelines of their own lives. From these connections come deeper, more refined questions.
Teacher Jorge Arredondo's students conduct research in a variety of ways. He begins by having them use the Internet. At first, the research is unfocused; students might need to be taught, as Wu's are when they study James Baldwin, how to use a basic search engine; but soon, as they gather around each other's computers and begin to share what they have found, the work becomes much more focused, and the conversations lively. Arredondo also introduces his students to the idea that research does not always have to be done in the library or computer lab. His students also meet translator Evangelina Vigil-Piñón and hear her perspective on rendering Tomás Rivera's novel into English. They also interview custodial workers in the community as part of their inquiry into the lives of Mexican laborers. Jerome Harste expresses the importance of making "first hand" experiences available in an inquiry classroom: "I really think there are two kinds of experts that an inquiry teacher needs to think about incorporating in their classroom. One is an academic expert, and we see that with the translator of the work ... And then I think local experts, that is, people who have actually lived that experience."
Inquiry and the Literary Text, edited by educators James Holden and John S. Schmit, shows how to construct discussions in the classroom. Focusing in particular on the seminar method of literary discussion, the contributors suggest ways to have students explore texts constructively together, with the balance tipping neither toward "oppressive" teacher-dominated discussions, nor toward "chaotic" student free-for-alls. Many of the book's essays focus on student questioning: How can every student have a genuine voice in the conversation and also bring a thoughtful question to the table? Some suggestions include having students write questions and give reasons for their questions' importance. Students might also rank their questions in terms of importance. Others suggest giving students a form for questioning. One form might outline a set of literary elements around which to create questions (plot, character, theme, etc.). Another form might require students to consider the three types of responses that some educators believe all literary response takes: responses about the text itself, responses about the reader's experience with/reaction to the text, and responses about the text's connection to the world at large.
Bo Wu introduces a common version of this last technique in her class on Santiago. The students use graphic organizers – based on chronological or schematic timelines -- to help them structure their thinking and organize events in their memoirs. Wu demonstrates this when she begins to create a simple "web" with Santiago's words "American Invasion" at the center. As students propose ideas and information relevant to this topic, she lists their ideas around the words in the center, creating a web.
As Bo Wu comments, most standardized tests ask students to read and respond to information by synthesizing it. That, she says, is exactly what inquiry asks students to do. Students in this phase of the inquiry process are very much engaged in making meaning from real-world texts and other sources.

Ozzie, Connick Jr. part of pregame festivities
Cardinals legend throws out first pitch; anthem veteran performs prior to Game 5
ST. LOUIS -- The first time Harry Connick Jr. sang the national anthem, he was 5 years old and keeping things light at campaign headquarters in New Orleans, where his dad was running for district attorney.
Needless to say, all these years -- and Grammy and Emmy Awards -- later, belting out the anthem draws considerably more attention. Connick, who has recently added "American Idol" judge to his long list of career stops, created quite a stir when he strode onto the field at Busch Stadium to perform "The Star-Spangled Banner" prior to Game 5 of the World Series on Monday night.
Connick has done this plenty. Google his name along with "national anthem," and a handful of videos from past performances come up, dating as far back as the 1992 Super Bowl. While not a huge baseball fan, Connick loves the atmosphere and the excitement that comes along with jewel sporting events.
"I like being around the energy, especially in these high-level games like the World Series and Super Bowl," the singer said. "It's nice."
Without a Major League team in New Orleans, Connick's exposure to baseball was limited. He lives somewhat vicariously through his dad, who holds a strong allegiance to the Red Sox, but beyond that, he's a casual observer.
Still, Connick loves being at the ballpark.
"I like singing at different venues," he said. "It's always a lot of fun."
The pregame ceremony also included the ceremonial first pitch, thrown by a legend in these parts -- Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith, whose game-winning homer in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series is still one of the Cardinals' most memorable postseason moments.
Smith has made several appearances in the pregame ceremonies throughout October, having joined many former teammates and fellow Hall of Famers on the field as part of the pageantry that surrounds postseason play.
Scheduled to perform "God Bless America" in the middle of the seventh inning was Tech. Sgt. Angie Johnson of with the Missouri Air National Guard.
Additionally, Bank of America, the official bank of Major League Baseball, provided American flags for fans at each Busch Stadium entrance, asking those in attendance to wave the flag during "God Bless America" as an expression of thanks to our troops.
Bank of America will donate $1 on behalf of each participating fan to Welcome Back Veterans and the Wounded Warrior Project in an effort to reach a total donation of $1 million, which will go toward helping service members and veterans succeed here at home.
Bank of America's "Express Your Thanks" initiative, which relaunched on Memorial Day 2013, aims to help support members of the military and veterans across the country by donating $1 for each expression of thanks.
Fans can visit BankofAmerica.com/troopthanks to learn about this program and how they can express their thanks.
The first-ball delivery was made by 16-year-old Eric Davis, who was escorted to the mound by Jim Edmonds, a member of the 2006 World Series champion Cards. Davis is a member of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis -- Herbert Hoover Club, and he is a junior at Cardinal Ritter College Prep High School in St. Louis.

"Sannyas simply means they have accepted a way of meditation and a life of joy and rejoicing. It is accepting to create your life into a blissfulness. So sannyas is a totally different thing. Sannyasins will continue. I have dropped all outer symbols of sannyasins. If they want to keep them, it is up to them. From my side I have dropped. They don't need any mala. They don't need red clothes. All that I would like... My advice to them, that if you are a sannyasin, that meditation is the only essential thing that you should carry." Osho
"Even if I leave the body I am not going to leave my sannyasins. I will be as much available as I am right now. But the only thing to remember is - are you available to me? I am available to you, and I will remain as available forever. If you are available to me, then a link exists. And with my sannyasins I am individually linked. It is not a question that you belong to an organization, it is not an organization at all. It is a personal relationship, it is a love affair. If you are open to me, even if this body disappears, it is not going to make any difference. I will be available to you." Osho

Stocks gain a bit as 'fiscal cliff' draws nearer
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks ended modestly higher Monday after a November sales report at McDonald's helped offset concern about the surprise decision of Italy's premier Mario Monti to resign.
The Nasdaq composite index gained 0.3%, up 9 points to 2,987. Rising by about 0.1% each were the Dow Jones and S&P 500, the Dow up 15 to close at 13,710.
McDonald's stock (MCD) rose 1.1% to $89.41. A key sales figure rose in November as U.S. customers bought more breakfast offerings and limited-time Cheddar Bacon Onion sandwiches.
Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Palm Beach, Florida-based Banyan Partners, said it was encouraging to see signs of strength in the restaurant chain. McDonald's, a member of the Dow average, was trading as high as $100 at the beginning of 2012. The pickup in McDonald's, he said, gave investors something positive to focus on as Italy's sudden political turmoil sent a jolt through European markets.
Monti, who has been credited with restoring confidence in Italy's economy, announced that he would step down after former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's party dropped its support. Italian government bond yields, a critical measure of how much the country has to pay to borrow, jumped. Concern that the European debt crisis was enveloping Italy, one of the euro region's largest economies, helped stymie markets around the world earlier in the year.
Investors will also watch for developments in the budget talks in Washington. Automatic tax increases and federal spending cuts are scheduled to start Jan. 1 unless a deal is reached to reduce the U.S. budget deficit. Economists say the measures, if implemented, could push the economy back into recession.
President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner met at the White House Sunday to discuss the budget, while rank-and-file Republicans stepped forward with what they called pragmatic ideas to break the stalemate. The Obama-Boehner meeting Sunday was the first between just the two leaders since Election Day.
Other stocks making big moves:
—Priceline.Com fell 5.1% to $625.48 after Deutsche Bank cut its recommendation on the stock to "hold" from "buy" and lowered its price target to $710 from $800.
—Phillips 66, the refining and pipeline company, gained 2.4% to $53.59 after saying late Friday that it was raising its quarterly dividend to 31.25 cents per share from 25 cents. The company also said it had approved the repurchase of another $1 billion in company stock, after approving the repurchase of $1 billion of shares during the first quarter.

SBA Raises Revenue Standards for Real Estate
September 27, 2012
The U.S. Small Business Administration announced that it will be increasing the revenue standards for businesses in 58 categories, including several in real estate.
The SBA's size standards reflect the maximum amount a firm can have to still be considered a small business. SBA periodically reviews its size standards to make sure it reflects up-to-date marketplace conditions.
Within the real estate and rental and leasing sector, SBA announced it will increase standards for 21 categories. That will allow more than 13,000 additional companies to qualify as "small" under the new size standards, which will make them eligible for SBA loan and federal procurement programs.
One of the largest size increases will be for companies that lease commercial or residential property, SBA announced. They may now have up to $25.5 million in revenue — an increase from the current $7 million ceiling.
The revenue limit for real estate agents and brokers as well as property managers also will jump considerably — from $2 million to $7 million.
The changes will go into effect Oct. 24.

New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman is shaking a finger at the American automotive market again, and this time it's Toyota that he's ticked at. Friedman seems to have difficulty wrapping his head around the fact Toyota, with the most fuel-efficient vehicle on the market, has joined the automakers formerly known as the big three in fighting the Senate bill to increase combined corporate average fuel economy to 35 mpg by 2020. We thought it was pretty obvious that Toyota was, you know, a company, and would be looking to maximize profits, as companies are wont to do. While Toyota's suffering the worst of the blast, they're not the only one Friedman hit in yesterday's blast.
Tommy Boy also takes a shot at Michigan Representative John Dingell for fighting the 35-mpg standard, claiming Michigan lawmakers are partially responsible for the downfall of Detroit automakers by constantly sheltering the auto industry. Unfortunately, he neglects to mention Dingell's the guy proposing a 50-cent gas tax increase and if Friedman really thinks automakers should be importing the fuel-efficient cars they sell in Europe and Japan, there needs to be demand for those cars — similar to Europe's $6 per gallon gas — before there is a place in American showrooms for them.

Some of the details surrounding Biz Stone's new Jelly app have just been firmed up: Apparently it will help people "do good."
"People are basically good -- when provided a tool that helps them do good in the world, they prove it," the Twitter co-founder wrote Monday in a post on the Jelly Industries homepage.
So far it has been unclear just what, exactly, Jelly is. The app started attracting attention in the tech world last week amid reports that Stone was working on a new startup.
Monday's post leaves many questions unanswered, but it appears that the app may have some sort of socially redeeming quality.
The name Jelly was inspired by jellyfish, "because neurologically, its brain is more 'we' than 'me,'" Stone wrote.
"Jelly will be for everybody," he wrote. It also will be free and available first and foremost on mobile devices, and it will command Stone's "full attention aside from some advisory roles elsewhere."
Stone first left Twitter along with fellow co-founder Ev Williams to create Obvious, an incubator and investment company focused on a variety of projects including the Medium blogging platform and the Lift mobile app for achieving personal goals.
Apparently, Jelly won't be launching anytime soon. "News of Jelly emerged unexpectedly early, so I'll wait a bit to share more about the team," Stone wrote.
Industry analysts declined to speculate on what Jelly might actually be.
Like Twitter, Jelly will be based in San Francisco. The company, which is hiring, will be self-funded for the time being, Stone wrote. "Jelly is in no rush to be a big company any time soon," he wrote.

LONDON: IKEA has bought a 46 megawatt (MW) wind farm in Canada, another boost to the retail giant's fast-growing renewables portfolio which now produces enough power globally to match a third of its energy use.
This week IKEA Group announced the purchase of a 20-turbine wind farm in Alberta, Canada, which is expected to generate 161 gigawatt hours each year—more than double the total energy consumption of IKEA Canada, and the equivalent of 60% of IKEA Group's electricity consumption in the whole of North America.
The purchase makes the wind farm, which will be fully operational by the end of 2014, the largest owned by a Canadian retailer. The power generated by the wind farm will feed into Alberta's energy grid, which will increase the availability of renewable energy in the growing energy market.
Honourable Ken Hughes, Minister of Energy, Alberta, said in a statement: "The development of renewable energy has been and will continue to be important to a sustainable future for Alberta. IKEA Canada is demonstrating a long-term commitment to both the province and our energy footprint with the development of this important project."
Globally, IKEA has committed to 157 wind turbines and has installed around 550,000 solar panels on its buildings, and in the fiscal year 2013, IKEA produced enough renewable energy to match 37% of its consumption.
Kerri Molinaro, President, IKEA Canada, said: "IKEA's investments in renewable energy are a win-win-win. We are able to support the transition to a low carbon future, reduce our energy and operating costs, and pass those benefits on to our customers by continuing to offer high quality home furnishings at low prices. This wind farm in Alberta, along with existing solar installations at three of our Ontario stores, is a significant step to achieving IKEA's global ambition to be energy independent by 2020, producing more renewable energy than we consume."

Kevin Grandia | March 27, 2009
By Kevin Grandia • Friday, March 27, 2009 - 10:43
Ari Berman's must-read article "The Dirt on Clean Coal" upholds The Nation's proud reputation for investigative reporting which separates it from most mainstream outlets, posing relevant questions and actually attempting to find answers to them.
Berman asks the critical, overlooked question of the day, "Can the same people who told us that global warming didn't exist–or that it was a good thing–suddenly be trusted to help solve the climate crisis?"
As you might guess, the answer is a resounding "no."
Berman details how the coal industry - through its $40 million Astroturf campaign by the front group "American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity" - is working feverishly to fight Congressional efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions, hoping to ensure that the world's coal supplies – and the climate – continue to burn for decades to come.
Tracing the long history of energy industry propaganda, Berman shows how the P.R. machine behind the coal industry's big lie hasn't changed at all. "Although the message on coal has changed, many of the actors–and their actions–remain the same."
Reminding readers that, "of the country's 616 coal plants, none are carbon-free or close to it," Berman even gets a "clean coal" expert to admit that it's all a farce. Ted Venners, the founder of Evergreen Energy - a Colorado-based company that refines dirty coal into slightly less dirty coal - tells Berman that "even after the process of cleaning coal, it's not clean."
"Clean coal," Venners admits, "is an oxymoron."
Straight from the horse's mouth.
Read Berman's article here: "The Dirt on Clean Coal"
Such a refreshing article!
I love it! Clean coal IS an oxymoron. It is so refreshing to hear it said! Well we can also go back to the 60's when the stores closed earlier in the day (no lights) or we all went to bed closer to 10pm (no lights) and drove only one car in the family. It that practical? NO! Should you conserve in as many ways as you can (turn off that light when you leave the room)? Yes! The way I look at it is that with my mini van I can carry 3 months worth (and more) of Costco items in my car thereby making only one trip every 3 months or so. I couldn't do that in a mini cooper nor would it work well for the family Real Estate business!
Clean Coal?
Can there even be such a thing? I agree, the concept of clean coal is an oxymoron. Berman's investigative reporting in his areticle, "The Dirt on Clean Coal" should be commended.

Just Doesn't make sense...
Ok, I am getting sick of hearing about clean coal…there is no such thing. When are they finally going to relaize that we need to stop messing with coal and start using actual sources of power that are clean…wind, solar and hydroelectric sources. Heck, they even have dance clubs now where the material of the floor it's self is designed to produce energy as people walk/dance on it. The tech is there…you just have to wrap it around new applications.
"Clean Coal" is just another pipe dream and a way to keep things the way they are instead of actually making progress.

Not surprisingly, they were quite proud of their accomplishment—which is why they have compiled footage of their exploits in a series of tense behind-the-scenes moments. The video after the break even shows the missile leaving the ship on its way to a victorious rendezvous with the pesky satellite. It is a definite must-see for any fan of explosions and the work that goes into making those explosions happen.

Was Biden right?
The advance of Islamic militants across Iraq has brought fresh criticism for the Obama administration — but may also deliver a grim measure of vindication to one very prominent White House official: Vice President Joe Biden.
In recent months, former officials and pundits have questioned and even ridiculed Biden's foreign policy acumen.
Story Continued Below
Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates wrote in his memoir that Biden "was wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue of the past four decades."
( Also on POLITICO: Clinton slams Maliki, 'dysfunctional' Iraq government)
And former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's new book "Hard Choices" notes that Biden "remained skeptical" about launching the raid that killed Osama bin Laden in 2011 — and that others in the administration were at odds with Biden. "I thought we should go for it," Clinton states, a contrast she has also drawn attention to on the road since leaving office.
This week paints Biden's judgment in a far different light.
Recent events in Iraq call attention to his prediction nearly a decade ago that the war-torn nation was heading toward a breakup along sectarian lines — and to a prescription he offered to try to manage that reality by granting Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds greater autonomy over various parts of the country.
In other words: While Biden may have taken a beating repeatedly in recent years for some foreign policy calls he's made, his judgment on Iraq's capacity to stay united now looks almost prescient.
( Also on POLITICO: GOP senators call for Iraq air strikes)
"Some will say moving toward strong regionalism would ignite sectarian cleansing. But that's exactly what is going on already, in ever-bigger waves," Biden wrote in a 2006 New York Times op-ed he co-authored. "Others will argue that it would lead to partition. But a breakup is already underway. As it was in Bosnia, a strong federal system is a viable means to prevent both perils in Iraq."
A Biden representative declined to comment on whether Biden views himself as vindicated by the recent moves bringing Iraq closer to a breakup along sectarian lines. However, Biden's co-author on the plan said it remains the last, best hope for saving the country from spiraling violence.
"It's the only solution," said Leslie Gelb, president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations. "The ship hasn't sailed. It's still a basis for doing something. … I don't know if it will work. But in terms of what could work, it's the only thing."
Gelb said the plan was something of a flop after it was rolled out. It came to be branded as a call for "soft partition," even though he said the intention was to preserve the country rather than see it splinter. Critics said it could even encourage ethnic cleansing.
( Also on POLITICO: Paul, Rubio differ on Iraq action)
Still, on the presidential campaign trail in 2007, Biden talked regularly about the idea. It even got a floor vote in the Senate, where a sense-of-the-Senate resolution he sponsored on "federalism" for Iraq passed, 75-23. (Clinton voted for the measure. Then-Sen. Barack Obama did not vote on it.)
But Gelb said Biden doesn't appear to have pushed the idea after he became vice president.
"I don't think he was outvoted. There just wasn't any interest in it," Gelb said. "The Middle East experts in Washington all pissed on it … which just fed into the criticism that we were calling for partitioning of Iraq."
While President Barack Obama didn't mention Biden's plan Friday, the president did suggest that it was possible that the contrary idea of a security brought to bear by a strong central government in Baghdad may have been misplaced.
"The United States has poured a lot of money into these Iraqi security forces, and we devoted a lot of training to Iraqi security forces," Obama told reporters at the White House on Friday.
"The fact that they are not willing to stand and fight and defend their posts against admittedly hardened terrorists, but not terrorists who are overwhelming in numbers, indicates that there's a problem with morale, there's a problem in terms of commitment, and ultimately that's rooted in the political problems that have plagued the country for a very long time."
( Also on POLITICO: The Obama paradox)
The president added that the way forward in Iraq would require accommodating the different populations there, something Biden was stressing seven years ago.
And Obama called for "a serious and sincere effort by Iraq's leaders to set aside sectarian differences, to promote stability and account for the legitimate interests of all of Iraq's communities, and to continue to build the capacity of an effective security force."
"In the absence of this type of political effort, short-term military action — including any assistance we might provide — won't succeed," the president said bluntly.

Here's yet another testament to the fact that, in the context of actually cutting carbon emissions, continuing to block the Keystone XL pipeline makes absolutely zero practical sense — as even the liberals who generally root for environmentalist causes and favor measures like carbon taxes can willingly attest. Say the editors of the Washington Post in arguing that it's time for the president to finally set politics aside and "resolve this bizarre distraction":
Even if the president rejects Keystone XL and no other pipelines out of Alberta are built, the crude could still travel by rail and barge — with marginally higher greenhouse emissions and a higher likelihood of accident. One hundred eighty thousand barrels of Canadian crude already moves on train cars every day. …
Environmentalists try to justify of their opposition to Keystone XL with a series of unlikely assumptions. If world oil prices end up significantly lower than projected for a long time, and if the Canadian government proves incapable of establishing any pipeline and sea routes out of the country, and if the price of rail transport remains as high as the State Department's generous projections, then some tar sands extraction projects wouldn't be economically viable. Advocates also contend that the passionate movement against the pipeline can be useful to achieve more consequential ends and therefore should be supported, as though cultivating irrational thinking is an acceptable basis for public policy. Neither view — one unconvincing, one cynical — reflects well on the country's environmentalists.
You know, environmentalists — if protecting the environment really is your endgame, that is — your time could be spent much more effectively fighting battles you could actually hope to win, especially if you could manage to pick ones that don't necessarily have to strive against the grain of economic prosperity.
WaPo gets it; Big Labor wants it; Obama's own former environment officials can't deny it; Congressional Democrats are gunning for it: And President Obama is really going to keep stalling on the issue to satisfy the apparent whimsy of some well-monied and self-anointed "green" donors? Really?

Dr. Grumpy: "Which ones?"
Mr. Nature: "Coumadin and Lipitor."
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Hahahahaha, EXCELLENT...
Smart cardiologist.
gotta love that cardio guy
But I'm sure they are organically produced.
I am so making a note of that for future use. Excellent!
I'd be irritated by that level ofdoctorly arrogance and paternalism, but anyone that dumb (and wilfully uneducated) probrably couldn't make an informed choice about medication anyway.
but Coumadin is ALL NATURAL RAT POISON!!!
Grown on his yard on his own Coumadin and Lipitor trees.
bwahhahahahaaaaa!!!! Awesome. A cardiologist with a side of psychology....
wonder how the doctor explained pt coming in to check his "coumadin supplement" levels...
Too funny.
::blinks innocently:: But if digitalis is found in foxglove then... ::and falls over in hysterics::
Just for the record, my med team treat me with a combination of manufactured pharmaceuticals and OTC supplements. Do I tell them everything I take? Do I look like an idiot? ::more laughing::
Hahaha! That's hilarious!
But are they artisanal?
Hopalong Ginsberg
Lipitor and coumadin are plant based! ~~~ They are from the 'manufacturing plant'!!!
Actually, Warfarin (Coumadin) is naturally occuring. It was discovered at the Wisconsin Agricultural Research Foundation (hence the name WARFarin).
Cows were acquiring a bleeding diathesis and it was traced to some bad clover they were eating. The drug was purified from that source.
ndenunz, sounds like you may have gone to UW...heard that in almost every single pharmacy class I took there!
Good for him. We had the opposite problem with my grandfather (Multiple heart attacks & strokes, some dementia)--he wouldn't believe aspirin could be useful and thus wouldn't take it. I don't recall the label on the bottle but I know we just filled it with off-the-shelf aspirin.
A bit off topic but my 92-year-old grandfather didn't want to take vitamin B12 shots every month - even though I was able to give them to him at home. His reason? "What good can they be if it only costs $.67?" Hard both not to laugh at and respect his reasoning.
That cardiologist deserves a medal.
I'm going to see if I can find a Plaqunil tree or a Methotrexate bush at Home Depot this weekend and plant them in my yard...I'll start selling my organic meds to our patients and make a little scratch on the side.
Someone buy that cardiologist a drink!
What scares me is this person is actually "out there" driving a car on our highways. Sheesh!
I can't stop laughing

Mohakhali flyover, construction in 2001-02

Model of Gulistan-Jatrabari: 3rd flyover
Construction of 3rd flyover at Gulistan point, in Dec 2006
Flyovers in Dhaka:
According to World Bank, the population of Dhaka would rise between 22 - 25 million by 2020. Dhaka's present 13 million population is growing at a fast rate. Dhaka is one of the most traffic congested cities in the world with unusual low per capita income of people (about $380) most of whom can't afford cars. As Bangladesh prospers, congestion will get even worse.
Bangladesh has one of the highest rates of traffic fatality in the world and World Bank considers traffic safety a major public health problem here. Urbanization and more traffic will bring about more traffic accidents. The streets are hostile to pedestrians, the danger and inconvenience of walking or cycling in turn leads people to use rickshaws, CNGs or other motor vehicles which make the traffic more worse,
Mohakhali Flyover: Aiming to ease traffic congestion in the capital, provide better transport services and tackle urbanization problems, the first flyover (a 17.9-metre wide and 1.12-km long bridge) was undertaken at Mohakhali railway crossing in 1996 at Tk. 113 crore, financed jointly by the government and the World Bank. It took 5 years to finalise the process and the contract was awarded to a Chinese Company in Nov 2001. The flyover was completed and opened to traffic in Nov 2004.
Gulistan-Jatrabari flyover:
The country's third flyover (after Mohakhali and Khilgaon flyovers) will be constructed in three and half years, with about Taka 700 crore private investment under BOOT (build-own-operate-transfer) system. The foundation stone for construction of Jatrabari-Gulistan flyover, the first such project to be built through private investment without involving any government fund or foreign loan support, was laid in June 2006. Dubai-based Belhasa-Accom and Associates Ltd will construct the flyover under the supervision of the DCC.
The 4-lane, 8-km long flyover, which is now under construction, is the third flyover in the country and also will be the longest one. The Dhaka-Chittagong highway, Dhaka-Maowa highway, Demra road, Syedabad Bus Terminal, Dayaganj, Hatkhola and Gulistan roads will be connected through this planned flyover. This flyover would resolve unbearable traffic jams at Jatrabari, Sayedabad, Motijheel, Gulistan, Dayaganj and Wari areas. It will also ensure smooth communication with Chittagong, Khulna, Barisal and Sylhet divisions.

We're pleased to share this blog post from special AN reporter Marianne Butler. She reports here on sessions about reproductive technology.
Vignettes of foetuses being asked to serve as "expert witnesses" in determining when life begins, through the reproduction of the "socially dead" and the tracing of reproductional debris, to an elision of counting embryos and counting sheep as both serve to lessen anxiety, the first two days of the AAA conference have offered a plethora of insights into the domain of "New Reproductive Technologies" (NRTs) or "Assisted Reproductive Technologies" (ARTs).
The papers I have thus far had the privilege of listening to cover widely divergent branches of the emergent field of technological assistance in the domain of human reproduction, as my summaries above show. However, in this blog post I would like to highlight some themes I have found to be particularly poignant.
Connections between morality and legality thread their way through discussions of NRTs. When questions of surrogacy are addressed, the moral dichotomies portrayed in popular media coverage "good" (altruistic) and "bad" (commercial) are reflected in legal determinations of what kinds of surrogacy are legal and illegal. The depiction of NRTs as purely medical interventions solving medical problems by medical practitioners is brought into question when the social, religious and legal considerations of the technologies are evaluated. Individual desires shape the use of NRTs, often contrary to the intentions of the policy makers regulating their usage. Additionally, reflections on the notions of what the purpose of recording information is for in assisted reproduction, whether that be in decisions over anonymity, or the number of embryos currently being used for stem cell research, have been analytically stimulating.
Reproductive technology, is very far from being a utilitarian tool. Rather it is shaped by the social, moral, ethical, religious and legal mores and norms of the people using it, those reflecting on its usage and those determining how others can use it.

Hi guys!
This is my second post on this subject as my first seems to have disappeared into a black hole.
I had to re-install Poco (4. on another PC as my previous PC crashed. Both PCs running Win XP. I took the hard drive out of the first PC and connected it to the second by USB - I can see the files/folders in Windows Explorer. I tried to import my messages/folders/contacts from the Poco on the old hard drive into the new Poco install. Install Wizard kept asking for Poco.ini but I could not find and a Windows search of both old hard drive and new seems to show this file does not exist. Also, the Program Files folder for Poco on the oldhard drive does not seem to contain the message folders that I was previously working with.
Can anybody help?

King of the Mountains Century Challenge
This past Saturday we rode the Heartbreak 100, which was stage 3 of the King of the Mountains Century Challenge. Your time is added up from three of the most difficult centuries. The others are the Mulholland Challenge and Breathless Agony.
Unfortunately I don't have any ride reports written! If you check the results from Mulholland, we are top 20, only 35 minutes back from the fastest time. We were pretty stoked.
Breathless had a steep bit early and I was feeling miserable at first, then felt better and got an okay time. Jack did extremely well on this one and on Heartbreak most recently. Max and I chilled out; I was tired from the triathlon the week before and it was fucking cold. Like 42 degrees and windy at the start. WTF? Looking forward to next year.

A day after he was waived to accomodate Anthony Allen's return to the active roster, undrafted free agent running back Bobby Rainey cleared waivers and was signed to the Ravens' practice squad.
Rainey, who went to Western Kentucky, was one of the Ravens' most productive offensive players in the preseason. In four games, he rushed 23 times for 55 yards and he caught a team-leading 14 passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns.
He survived final cuts and initially made the team as the third running back behind Ray Rice and Bernard Pierce. However, he was waived before the Ravens' season-opening 44-13 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals last night.
"Bobby Rainey is a big part of our plans," said Ravens coach John Harbaugh. "I texted Bobby before the game. He is, rightly so, kind of upset about it. Bobby is a guy that I cherish. We just did it for special teams reasons, pure and simply. Anthony Allen has done a great job on special teams, and we made a strategic roster move we hope works for us."
