In Search of the Novel: Workshops
Workshop 3
Are Novels Real?
Characters, their motivations, their stories, and the times and places should bear some likeness to reality. Or should they? This program explores how novels connect with the reader.
Goals and Objectives
Upon completion of this workshop lesson, teachers will be able to:
- Help students understand how novelists and readers look for and understand the realities and sources behind the story.
- Help students explore the relationship between the novel and the objective reality from which it springs.
- Design a lesson plan that allows students to probe the novel they are reading and to assess how real—how authentic—they believe it and its characters, plot, setting, and theme to be.
Participants Comments and Observations
Katherine Paterson: I was writing it and the previous year I had had a bout with cancer, and although the prognosis was good, who knows? And then, that summer my sons best friend was struck and killed by lightning and my children, who were afraid I was going to die in the spring, were sure when Lisa was actually killed that life was going to be nothing but disaster from then
on and they could hardly let my husband and me out of the house without really being afraid we wouldnt come back. When I wrote the book, I really was trying to make sense out of my life and out of a tragedy that didnt make sense. Also, I didnt realize till later that I was trying to face my own mortality.
J. K. Rowling: Children often ask me if the magic is real in the books. Did anyone ever believe in this? I would say a rough proportion, about a third of the stuff that crops up, is stuff that people genuinely used to believe in Britain; two-thirds of it, though, is my invention. Children ask me, of course, Do you believe in magic? And Ive always said, No,
I dont.
I believe in different kinds of magic. There is a kind of magic that happens when you pick up a wonderful book and it lives with you for the rest of your life. Thats my kind of magic. There is magic in friendship and in beauty and metaphorical magic, yes. But do I believe that if you draw a funny, squiggly shape on the ground and dots around and its something? Not at all. I find
the idea frankly comical.
Arthur Golden: Someone said, I read novels because I want to live other lives. And I think that many people who read novels read them because they come to the book hoping for a kind of experience that they cant have themselves in the real world. Theyre not real, of course. But at the same time the best novels do create an illusion of reality. And Im absolutely
sure its true that there are people in the world who have closer relationships in their minds with fictional characters than they do with real people. I dont think thats the norm, by the way, but it happens. And I think that for all of us who read fiction, there are characters who take on something you might almost call reality.
Ernest Gaines: I write about south Louisiana, the area where I grew up. I have some of the same trees in the background, the same sugarcane fields and cabins and country churches and things like that. These things are real. But the characters are created; the characters are not based on real characters. And the plot is not usually based on any specific thing that happened. I create
these things myself. I should hope that the novel is real on this point: someone else has felt the experiences. For example, Jefferson is in prison. How would you feel? Would you feel the same way as Jefferson does? Or if you're a teacher, would you feel the same way Grant does? Or if you're one of the students, how would you feel? I would think that a lot of people would feel like the characters.
At least I should hope that they are real enough so that you would share their experiences. So in this sense, then, the novel becomes real. Some people have said that the novel is more true than history because the writer hasn't anyone who he has any definite opinion that he has to live up to, whereas the historian has to write for a certain opinion. In that way the novel is to me very real.
Daniel Keyes: Well, the characters in the bakery in Flowers come from my root cellar, the same place those other ideas came from, because I worked in that bakery when I was in junior high school. I had to earn my first years tuition—I was going to go to NYU. So as a teenager, I worked for a bakery. First my job was to sit alongside the driverthere was no backand I would have to put the bagels and rolls into bags that we left in front of stores. Then I graduated to working inside the bakery beside the bakers. Gimpy was real; I knew Gimpy. I worked for him. I knew Frank. Franks name was different, but Gimpy was Gimpy. I knew those bakers and again even at that age, I wanted to know how they saw what they were doing, how they saw me. I knew that they didnt think much of me because here I was a little apprentice. I had to work by the side of the urn dumping in the raw dough, scooping out for the bagels that they would put in the oven. So as you feel youre a writer, you look at people in two ways. You look at someone, youre involved in an event, and youre in it. But a part of you stands aside and takes mental notes because part of you, them, will become your raw material. So they go into my root cellar...So Gimpy is real. All the characters in that bakery are real. The owner is not real. Thats purely invented. And one of the strange things I notice is that when I invent a character from scratch, most people believe that character more than they believe the real people. Thats because sometimes we writers make a mistake. If Im modeling a character on a real person, its hard for me to get behind that persons eyes. I mean, Im looking at the person, Im observing, Im trying to see the world as he would see it. So theres a three-dimensional quality, not that fourth-dimensional quality. When Im inventing a character from scratch, Im in the mind because its my mind and his mind merging and such characters purely invented seem to be more realistic, more alive.
Orson Scott Card: Where the novel in general comes from is from reality. And that really is even where science fiction and fantasy novels come from. Even though you imagined and you fantasized, nevertheless the root of everything is in true things.
Teacher: We get to the question, What is real? I think that if you enter a novel, you enter the world that the author creates and asks you to come in where people can do fantastical things or where things are outlandish or larger than life or different from life as we know it. So a part of what is real to me is the authenticity of how well that universe holds togetherthe universe that the writer creates. And in the midst of all the fantastical, I want to shy away from the idea that real has to mean factualthat this could actually happen like this. Thats how you know youve got a good onewhen it rings true.

Dakota Johnson + Jamie Dornan Talk 'Sexual Acrobatics' in 'Fifty Shades of Grey' [VIDEO]by Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
The world can't stop talking about 'Fifty Shades of Grey,' especially after we got to witness that smokin' first full trailer. And luckily for us, the film's stars — Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan — recently dished to TODAY about filming the movie's infamous sex scenes.
As it turns out, the reality of filming may not be as sexy as it comes across onscreen.
"The reality of it is like, burly men you don't know very well three feet from your face — which isn't how you usually have sex," Dornan explained, laughing. "Me, anyway."
"I do," Johnson joked. "A lot."
"It's more about what our bodies look like visually and what we're doing, though it's more of like a dance," she continued. "It's like acrobatics."
"Sexual acrobatics," Dornan agreed, nodding.
When asked if he was similar to his character Christian Grey, Dornan left a little to the imagination.
"There's always something about every character you're drawn to because it relates to something in you," he humbly replied.
Watch Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan talk 'Fifty Shades' in the video above.

Former Denver Broncos Brian Dawkins named to Madden NFL All-25 Team
Former Denver Broncos safety Brian Dawkins was named to the Madden NFL All-25 team, according to EA Sports today.
The hard-hitting strong safety was a terror for the Eagles in the secondary in Madden '99.
From EA Sports:
Dawkins' strength was found in his athleticism. He could easily crowd the line on running plays, but his speed allowed you to recover quickly if you guessed wrong on the play call.
EA Sports is compiling a team of the greatest players to be included in the series' 25-year history. So far, the team includes:
Coach John Madden
RB Marshall Faulk, St. Louis (Madden NFL 2003)
FB Mike Alstott, Tampa Bay (Madden NFL 2000)

First Baptist Church
Send a link to a friend
21, 2014]
After over 21 years as the pastor of the First
Baptist Church of Lincoln, the Rev. Dr. Robert Henderson has
tendered his resignation and has accepted the position of director
of chaplaincy at Memorial Hospital in Decatur. His last Sunday as
the pastor at First Baptist will be March 30.
A service of celebration and remembrance
will begin at 1 p.m. in the sanctuary and will include special music
and a PowerPoint presentation covering the last 20-plus years in the
life of First Baptist. Refreshments served afterward in the
fellowship hall will allow a time to visit and reminisce.
Pastor Henderson accepted the call to First Baptist in the fall
of 1992. He came to Lincoln from Mansfield, Ohio, with his wife,
Melissa, and their infant daughter, Burgandy. Their son, Joshua, was
born in 1998.
During his tenure, Henderson has stressed the importance of
missions and mission work. He has led numerous mission trips in
Wisconsin, Ohio, South Dakota, Oklahoma and Illinois.
First Baptist also purchased land at the corner of Fifth Street
and Connolley Road in hopes of expanding the church ministry and
service to the community.
[to top of second column]
Henderson contributed to the community by serving as a
hospital chaplain and on the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital
board. He also served on the school board at West Lincoln-Broadwell
and participated in the Lincoln Area Musical Society Orchestra.
The church looks forward to having friends of the Henderson
family and the church join the members for as much of the special
day as possible.

This week's moon visits two star clusters a billion years apart
Before dawn Friday morning, the moon appears just a few degrees ahead of the orange star Aldebaran, the fiery eye of Taurus the bull. To either side of the moon, you'll find the two brightest star clusters. To the east is the Y-shaped Hyades cluster, or the face of the bull. To the moon's west is the Pleiades cluster, or the seven sisters, which marks the bull's shoulder.
The Hyades is the brighter of the two clusters. On a dark night you may discern a dozen or more stars with your own eyes. With binoculars or a small telescope, the number might double or even triple.
The Pleiades is the most famous star cluster, named after seven daughters of the Titan Atlas. However, even with very dark skies you're likely to only find six of them. Myths regarding the missing seventh sister span the globe. Modern astronomers have added to the lore, having discovered that the seventh-brightest star in the cluster, Pleione, is actually a variable whose cycle from bright to dim stretches over millennia.
While appearing close and within the same constellation, the Hyades and the Pleiades are unrelated. However, scientists believe the Hyades is related to another grouping of stars, the Beehive cluster, which the waning crescent moon visits before dawn Wednesday. While the two clusters are hundreds of light years apart, astronomers suspect they were born in the same stellar incubator almost a billion years ago.
Venus is near the Beehive custer much of the week, and Wednesday before dawn the moon makes it even easier to find. Look for the moon in the east, with Venus only a few degrees to the right. Equidistant beyond Venus and near the center of the constellation Cancer, try to pick out a fuzzy blob of light. Binoculars or a small telescope will clear the haze, revealing some of the many stars in the Beehive cluster.

Isis Initates Phase 2/3 Study Of ISIS-TTR Rx And Earns $7.5 Million Milestone Payment From GlaxoSmithKline
CARLSBAD, Calif., Feb. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Isis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISIS) announced today that it has earned a $7.5 million milestone payment from GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) related to the initiation of a Phase 2/3 clinical study for ISIS-TTRRx. ISIS-TTRRx is an antisense drug in development with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) for the treatment of transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis, a severe and rare genetic disease characterized by progressive dysfunction of peripheral nerve and/or heart tissues. Isis and GSK recently amended the clinical development plan and financial terms relating to ISIS-TTRRx to support this registration-directed Phase 2/3 clinical study on ISIS-TTRRx.
"TTR amyloidosis is a severe and rare genetic disease that leads to death. TTR amyloidosis affects approximately 50,000 patients worldwide and current treatments are limited. Patients with familial amyloid polyneuropathy, or FAP, experience TTR build up in their peripheral nerves and experience the loss of motor functions, such as walking," said Merrill D. Benson, M.D., Professor of Medical Genetics at Indiana University. "By inhibiting the production of TTR protein, ISIS-TTRRx could offer an alternative approach to treating patients with FAP. Furthermore, a drug that can reduce TTR levels could potentially slow or arrest progression of this terrible disease."
The Phase 2/3 study of ISIS-TTRRx is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, international study designed to support an application for marketing approval of ISIS-TTRRx in patients with FAP. The fifteen month study will enroll approximately 200 patients randomized 2:1 to receive 300 mg/week of ISIS-TTRRx or placebo and will measure the effects of ISIS-TTRRx on neurological dysfunction and on quality-of-life. The United States Food and Drug administration granted ISIS-TTRRx fast track designation and orphan drug status for the treatment of FAP.
"The rapid development of ISIS-TTRRx from a research-stage program to a drug in late-stage clinical development in just over two years represents the strong commitment of both teams to bring this novel drug to patients who are in need of new therapeutic options," said B. Lynne Parshall, chief operating officer at Isis. "The encouraging data from our Phase 1 study, in which our drug was well tolerated and produced significant reductions in TTR protein, supported the advancement of ISIS-TTRRx directly into this registration-directed Phase 2/3 study. While we will continue to manage the clinical development of ISIS-TTRRx, we will benefit from GSK's late-stage clinical development, regulatory and commercial expertise."
ISIS-TTRRx is part of the Isis-GSK strategic alliance to develop RNA therapeutics for rare and infectious diseases. For the initiation of the Phase 2/3 study, Isis will receive a $7.5 million milestone payment and is eligible to earn an additional $50 million in pre-licensing milestone payments to support the Phase 2/3 study of ISIS-TTRRx. In addition, Isis is eligible to receive regulatory and sales milestone payments and double-digit royalties on sales of ISIS-TTRRx.
ABOUT ISIS-TTRRx
Transthyretin amyloidosis is a genetic disease in which the patient inherits a mutant gene that produces a misfolded form of TTR, which progressively accumulates in tissues, impairing their function. In patients with transthyretin amyloidosis, both the mutant and normal forms of TTR can build up as fibrils in tissues, including heart, peripheral nerves, and the gastrointestinal tract. The presence of TTR aggregates interferes with the normal functions of these tissues, and as the TTR protein aggregates enlarge more tissue damage occurs and the disease worsens. There are two common types of transthyretin amyloidosis, familial amyloid cardiomyopathy, or FAC, which affects more than 40,000 patients worldwide, and FAP, which affects more than 10,000 patients worldwide. Patients with FAC have TTR build up in the heart muscle and succumb to heart failure five to six years after symptom onset. Patients with FAP have TTR build up in peripheral nerve tissue leading to the loss of nerve function and wasting. ISIS-TTRRx is an investigational drug that is designed to inhibit the production of all forms of TTR, and could offer an alternative approach to treat all types of transthyretin-related amyloidosis.
Isis is exploiting its leadership position in antisense technology to discover and develop novel drugs for its product pipeline and for its partners. Isis' broad pipeline consists of 28 drugs to treat a wide variety of diseases with an emphasis on cardiovascular, metabolic, severe and rare diseases, and cancer. Isis' partner, Genzyme, is commercializing Isis' lead product, KYNAMRO™, in the United States for the treatment of patients with HoFH. Genzyme is also pursuing marketing approval of KYNAMRO in other markets, including Europe. Isis' patents provide strong and extensive protection for its drugs and technology. Additional information about Isis is available at www.isispharm.com.
This press release includes forward-looking statements regarding Isis' collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline, the discovery, development and potential of drugs for severe and rare diseases, and the development, activity, therapeutic potential and safety of ISIS-TTRRx. Any statement describing Isis' goals, expectations, financial or other projections, intentions or beliefs, including the commercial potential of KYNAMRO, is a forward-looking statement and should be considered an at-risk statement. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, particularly those inherent in the process of discovering, developing and commercializing drugs that are safe and effective for use as human therapeutics, and in the endeavor of building a business around such drugs. Isis' forward-looking statements also involve assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove correct, could cause its results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although Isis' forward-looking statements reflect the good faith judgment of its management, these statements are based only on facts and factors currently known by Isis. As a result, you are cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements.

Game On
Riding a four-game win streak and unbeaten at home, the Harvard field hockey faces No. 7 Stanford at noon on Jordan Field. The Crimson will be participating in the Play 4 the Cure campaign to raise awareness and money to fight breast cancer.
Follow From Home … or Anywhere
Free live statistics and subscription-based live video will be available at the links above. Live stats optimized for following on mobile devices will be available here.
Play 4 the Cure
The Crimson will be wearing pink wristbands and warming up in pink shirts as part of the Play 4 the Cure effort for field hockey teams around the country to raise money and awareness to combat breast cancer. Fans can donate to help cancer research at the game and can read more at the Play 4 the Cure website.
Last Time Out
Sydney Jenkins scored just 37 seconds into overtime to lift Harvard to a 2-1 victory against Vermont Sunday. The Crimson held a 23-8 edge in shots and dominated possession throughout the first half and early second half, but the Catamounts got on the board first in the game's 51st minute. Georgia McGillivray tied the game less than seven minutes later.
No Place Like Home
Harvard honored the 1991 Ivy-championship Crimson squad last weekend, and that group was the last Harvard team—before this year—to win its first five home games. The 1991 Crimson finished 9-0-1 at home and 13-3-2 overall.
On a Roll
The Crimson's four-game win streak is its longest since winning four in a row in 2008. Noel Painter has registered a point in each of those wins. She has two goals and three assists in that span and three goals and three helpers in the last five games.
Dial 8-1-1
Cynthia Tassopoulos ranks fifth nationally with a save percentage of .811 and ninth with 8.11 saves per game. She owns a 1.93 goals-against average.
Crimson Capsule
Noel Painter leads a balanced Harvard offense with four goals and 12 points and shares the team assists lead at four with Carly Dickson. Three players have scored three goals each, and three more have scored twice. Six different players have netted the Crimson's six game-winning goals.
History Lesson
The Crimson defeated Stanford, 1-0, in 1998, and Stanford won, 6-0, a year ago in California.
Scouting the Cardinal
Stanford enters with an eight-game win streak of its own that includes three victories against ranked opponents. The Cardinal's only loss came Aug. 29 at No. 4 Connecticut, 4-2. Becky Dru has guided the Stanford attack with nine goals and 19 points. Hope Burke has four goals and six assists, while Stephanie Byrne has logged a team-high eight assists. Ale Moss owns a 1.67 goals-against average and .667 save percentage.
Next Up: Northeastern
The Crimson has Sunday off from competition before making the short trip to take on local rival Northeastern Monday at 2 p.m.

Just in case you were thinking of buying one of those 40 iPhone 4s that were most likely looted in the UK riots and put on Craigslist, don't — UK networks are blocking all stolen phones, so they'll be worthless.
Macworld spoke to several UK networks about the issue of the stolen phones, with the general answer being that they'll simply check stock records for each ransacked store, and add the IMEI number associated with each phone to the Equipment Identity Register which will block them from working with SIM cards in under a day. Within two days the phones will also be banned from being used on any UK network.
Sellers of stolen phones will likely still try and shift them onto unsuspecting buyers, meaning anyone who's been thinking about buying a brand new iPhone, BlackBerry or other recent model should probably go by official means only for a while, unless they want to end up with a very expensive door-stopper.
It's likely that once sellers realise their stolen goods aren't any good in the UK, they may try and sell them overseas, but this will obviously involve more hassle for the sellers and little reward. Anyone want a new door-stopper, perchance? [Macworld]

COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford has been hiking along the Appalachian Trail, a spokesman said Monday night, explaining a dayslong absence that perplexed fellow state leaders.
Sanford hadn't been at work for several days and his office hadn't been in touch with him. The lieutenant governor, other fellow lawmakers and even his wife said they didn't know where he was, leading critics to question who was in charge of South Carolina.
"I cannot take lightly that his staff has not had communication with him for more than four days, and that no one, including his own family, knows his whereabouts," said Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer. Bauer said he'd been rebuffed by the governor's staff when he tried to find out where Sanford was.
The Republican governor left town on Thursday, his spokesman Joel Sawyer said, with plans to hike the trail, which passes through 14 states but doesn't cross South Carolina. Sawyer said he didn't know where exactly Sanford was along the 2,200-mile trail and declined to discuss Sanford's travel arrangements or who, if anyone, was hiking with him. The governor is expected back later this week.
"He's an avid outdoorsman," Sawyer said. "Nobody's ever accused our governor of being conventional."
Sanford, who's also chairman of the Republican Governors Association, earned a reputation as the nation's most vocal anti-bailout governor by refusing $700 million in federal stimulus money for schools until he lost a court battle earlier this month.
"He's just up there to kind of clear his head after the legislative session," Sawyer told The Associated Press in an interview. Sawyer wasn't aware that anyone on Sanford's staff had spoken to the governor since Thursday.
Sawyer said if there were an emergency, the office would consult with other state officials before making any decisions.
"We knew he would be difficult to reach, and that he would be checking in infrequently," Sawyer said in a statement.
First lady Jenny Sanford said earlier Monday she had not spoken with her husband for several days, including Father's Day. The Sanfords have four sons.
"He was writing something and wanted some space to get away from the kids," Jenny Sanford told The Associated Press while vacationing at the family's Sullivans Island beach house. She said she didn't know where he was, but wasn't concerned.
A message left for her wasn't immediately returned after the governor's hiking plans were disclosed.
Law enforcement officials who handle his security declined to comment and Sawyer wouldn't say whether Sanford had a security detail with him. Sanford is known for taking walks and runs without security, but flight logs show he seldom leaves the state without it.
Sanford typically is open about his whereabouts, and his office has in the past made no secret of time spent on vacation or out of state.
But politicians, including the lieutenant governor, said they did not know Sanford was taking time away from his office. Bauer said he had not been put in charge.
State Sen. Tom Davis, a Beaufort Republican, Sanford confidante and former chief of staff, said his calls to Sanford were going straight to voice mail. Calls from The Associated Press to the governor's cell phone also went to voice mail.
Sanford's critics were quick to criticize the governor.
"It's one thing for the boys to go off by themselves, but on Father's Day to leave your family behind? That's erratic," said Senate Minority Leader John Land, D-Manning.
Sanford's unannounced absence was a cause for concern because the National Guard and the state's top law enforcement agencies report to him, Land said.
"And when those officials can't get in touch with the commander, it's really weird. That's not responsible," he said.
Sen. Jake Knotts, a Lexington Republican and a persistent Sanford critic, said the state needs to know where its governor is.
"The way things are in the world today and homeland security, we need the governor to be fingertips away," Knotts said. "Somebody's got to be in charge."

An inguinal hernia (pronounced IN-gwuh-nul HER-nee-uh) is when part of your intestine pushes through a weak spot in your lower belly (abdominal) wall. This area is called the groin. The hernia creates a lump in your groin. Over time, the hernia may get bigger.
Most inguinal hernias, even large ones, can be made smaller and pushed back into your belly using gentle massage and pressure.
There are 2 types of inguinal hernias: indirect and direct.
An inguinal hernia can happen at any age.
You are at greater risk for an inguinal hernia if you:
Some activities may also raise your risk for an inguinal hernia. These include:
Some inguinal hernias are painful while others don't cause any pain.
Each person's symptoms may vary. Symptoms may include:
In severe cases, the intestine is partly or fully blocked. Symptoms in severe cases may also include:
The symptoms of an inguinal hernia may look like other health problems. Always see your healthcare provider to be sure.
Your healthcare provider will likely be able to tell that you have an inguinal hernia by looking at your past health and giving you a physical exam.
During the physical exam, he or she will try to push the hernia back into your belly.
You may also have imaging tests including:
An inguinal hernia will not heal on its own. If you have symptoms or the hernia is growing, you may need surgery.
There are 2 types of surgery for an inguinal hernia: traditional open hernia repair (called herniorrhaphy) or laparoscopic hernia repair.
Inguinal hernias that are not causing any symptoms can be closely watched. If symptoms occur, your surgeon can repair the hernia through open surgery or laparoscopic surgery.Some surgeons recommend repair of all groin hernias in women. This is because it can be difficult to tell an inguinal hernia from a more complicated type of hernia (femoral hernia) in women.
You will need surgery right away if your small intestine gets stuck in the groin (incarcerated hernia) or if blood supply to your small intestine is blocked (strangulated hernia).
In some cases a hernia may come back after surgery. This is less likely to happen when mesh is used to support the weak belly muscles.
An inguinal hernia can lead to other problems such as:

Injured snowkiter is retrieved by Grand County Search and Rescue
Grand County, CO Colorado
Grand County Search and Rescue extracted Gary Vaillanbourg, a 36-year-old skier from Idaho Springs, who had broken his tibia and fibula while "snowkiting" at 11,200 feet on Cascade Mountain behind Vagabond Ranch on Sunday, Jan. 13.
"The team did a great job despite it being very, very cold," said incident commander of the mission, Kymmie Scott.
Temperatures during the rescue were estimated to be 30 below zero, which prompted GCSAR to build numerous fires along the extrication route to warm up rescuers and the subject.
The injured skier and two friends were able to utilize a cell phone and a SPOT device – a satellite GPS messenger that notifies rescuers of a person's location – to notify dispatch about the incident and to request help at 3:22 p.m. The rescuers were out of the field by 1:45 a.m. on Monday.
Eighteen members of GCSAR, including six new recruits to the team; Grand County Sheriff's personnel; individuals from Vagabond Ranch; and Cory Ziegler from the Mountain Medical Response Team of Grand County Emergency Medical Services responded to the incident, with Ziegler blazing the trail to reach the injured man quickly as he was reportedly in a considerable amount of pain, according to Scott.
This was the first substantial rescue mission the new members of the GCSAR team participated in, Scott said. "The new members had a great chance to shine and they did awesome."
Snowmobiles, skis, and snowshoes were used by the members of GCSAR to perform the first snow kiting related rescue with Grand County Sheriff's personnel provided communications and other forms of support. Helicopters were not able to be used during the rescue due to icing conditions.
Snowkiting is similar to kitesurfing and consists of participants using kite power to glide on snow while wearing either skis or a snowboard.
GCSAR reminds people to be prepared to spend the night out when heading into the backcountry, and that GCSAR does not charge for rescues.

For sole enterprises, keeping a good set of books is probably one of the most essential tasks. It helps keep all your paperwork in order and it makes it far easier when it comes to the end of the year and that massive tax bill is due. Unfortunately, though, Mac users are slightly neglected when it comes to this, and although OS X has slowly but surely clawed some of the market share away from Microsoft, when it comes to business-related apps, Windows rules the roost.
Not wanting to be outdone, Austrian-based developers Teischl, the team behind Employment:app (which we reviewed last year) have developed book'n'keep – a simple accounting software designed for sole enterprises. Unlike other accounting software, which can often run into the hundreds of dollars and require an extensive set of licences, book'n'keep is available on the App Store for a mere $29.99. Let's take a look at it and see if it's a worthwhile purchase for sole enterprises.

This year IndyCar is bringing back the "Triple Crown" with the Indianapolis 500, Pocono 400, and the MAVTV 500 at Fontana. If you can pull out wins at all three races you'll get a $1 million. Win two-out-of-three and you'll get $250,000. What prestigious organization would fork over money for such a prestigious racing event? Fuzzy's Ultra Premium Vodka, of course.
I've never tasted of Fuzzy's Ultra Premium Vodka, but because it says Ultra Premium in the name I'm certain it's fantastic. Not just premium but Ultra Premium. The guy who likes to brag about getting his dick sucked in a Lexus drinks Smirnoff. The guy who likes to brag about getting his dick sucked in a stretch Navigator probably drinks an Ultra Premium beverage.
Also, it's apparently named for the golfer Fuzzy Zoeller, who only says terribly racist things on rare occasion.
And "Fuzzy's Ultra Premium Vodka IndyCar Triple Crown" is the name of an event in Infiniti Jest right? Something that happens in the Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment if I'm not mistaken.

Dincrest likes the rock & roll guitarist / singer...I can't say it's much of a surprise =P
Also surprising is that while I normally favor strong female characters in my RPG party, none in CC have really gripped me. My party favorites have generally been the guys. I like Kid's spunk, but she's hardly been around. Otherwise, the unconventional women seem most interesting, but get overshadowed once they've served their "guest PC" usefulness. Macha swimming from Termina to Guldove when I recruited Glenn was triathlete-level cool, but I've hardly used her except on a whim. Sprigg seems really interesting (I like her juxtaposition as wise old woman who wants to party- I refer to her as hot rod granny) and would like to have more backstory on her, but she was quickly abandoned for a better character.
Dincrest likes the rock & roll guitarist / singer...I can't say it's much of a surprise =PI would have loved for Sneff to be top tier, just because people would have to gauge if they really want his power which comes with his dreadful allure.
I'm in the middle of the S.S. Zelbess part. I met Miki, lost at roulette with Fargo, got turned into a cat, got the handle from the cheating device, and that's where I left off. And I still am not sold on Irenes having a German accent. German is a very guttural language and since mermaids are supposed to sing sweetly and smoothly, it reads more harsh to me. Then again, Chrono Cross has been throwing the rule book out the window in many regards, so it's all good.
If it wasn't abundantly clear, the first time I played CC, I never got as far as I have now. So a lot of what I've played and logged about is new to me. Anyway, I despise the Isle of the Damned sequence after you get Irenes. That dungeon has no save point, Garai is a difficult boss (the first boss I've encountered so far to annihilate me), and I can't run away from the battle to regroup and/or save. That's a load of donkey crap, since other bosses let me run away so I could regroup. I lost progress here and I'm none too happy about that. Plus, Lynx is freaking weaksauce. The last two boss battles, he's been knocked unconscious. Lynx is a declawed pussycat. I want Serge back. Black element sucks. Garai and the Isle of the Damned can bite me!EDIT: Finally got past that damned Isle of the Damned. I swapped out Norris for Harle and we prevailed- we being Lynx, Irenes, and Harle.
I keep a wide variety of healing elements in various colors. I can't seem to find enough trap elements or buffs/debffs. I don't have an anti-white, which would be cracker for the Miguel battle (he kicked my ass just now). His HP was low, but he was doing two elemental attacks in a row. Lynx and Irenes were down and Zappa was still standing. I wished I had put diminish on him. I'll probably swap Zappa out for someone else, so I can try and control the field effect to all blue and have Irenes summon Frog Prince. I feel like the key to the Miguel battle is not to let him dictate the field effect. But talk about a sharp spike. The boss battles were pretty easy until Garai and now Miguel. I know I can beat Miguel, though.
EDIT: Before that, there's business to attend to. In Karsh/Zoah, I chose Zoah since Karsh is more likely to get intel and Zoah's a brute.

No. 96,405
Under the facts of this case, we hold the district court's ruling denying the defendant's motion to file an appeal out of time was supported by substantial competent evidence. We affirm its ruling that none of the three exceptions set forth in State v. Ortiz, 230 Kan. 733, 735-36, 640 P.2d 1255 (1982), exists to excuse the defendant's failure to file a timely notice of appeal of his sentencing.
Appeal from Dickinson District Court; BENJAMIN J. SEXTON, judge. Opinion filed March 9, 2007. Affirmed.
Michelle Davis, of Kansas Appellate Defender Office, for appellant.
Daryl E. Hawkins, assistant county attorney, and Phill Kline, attorney general, for appellee.
Before MALONE, P.J., BUSER, J., and LARSON, S.J.
LARSON, J.: Antone John Scoville appeals the trial court's denial of his motion to file a direct appeal out of time, arguing the court erred in finding that no Ortiz exception applied to excuse his failure to file an appeal within the statutory time allowed. See State v. Ortiz, 230 Kan. 733, Syl. ¶ 3, 640 P.2d 1255 (1982). We hold the trial court did not err in its Ortiz determination and, accordingly, affirm.
The record in this case reflects that in May 2003, Scoville entered a plea of no contest to one count of manufacture of methamphetamine, a drug severity level 1 felony pursuant to K.S.A. 65-4159, in exchange for the State's agreement to dismiss the six remaining charges against him, not to file any additional charges, and to recommend a downward durational departure of 139 months' imprisonment. Neither Scoville's plea agreement or written waiver of rights addressed Scoville's right to appeal his sentence. Scoville filed a downward durational departure request seeking a 60-month sentence. On June 4, 2003, the trial court imposed a downward durational departure sentence of 120 months' imprisonment.
Scoville did not file a direct appeal of his conviction or sentence. But, in February 2004, he filed a K.S.A. 22-3504 motion to correct an illegal sentence in which he claimed the trial court should have sentenced him for a drug severity level 3 felony pursuant to State v. McAdam, 277 Kan. 136, 83 P.3d 161 (2004). Following a nonevidentiary hearing, the trial court denied Scoville's motion. A panel of this court affirmed the trial court's decision. State v. Scoville, No. 92,829, unpublished opinion filed June 24, 2005, rev. denied 280 Kan. 990 (2005).
Subsequently on November 30, 2005, Scoville filed a motion requesting the right to file a direct appeal out of time, alleging he was never informed of his statutory right to appeal within 10 days of his sentence. See K.S.A. 22-3608(c) (stating a defendant shall have 10 days after the judgment of the district court to appeal).
The trial court conducted a hearing on Scoville's motion. During the hearing, Scoville's trial counsel testified that although his standard practice while reviewing plea agreements with clients was to inform clients that they had a right to appeal their sentence if the judge did something unlawful, he did not have a distinct recollection of whether he told Scoville that he had 10 days to file an appeal. Trial counsel did, however, recall that he and Scoville discussed immediately after sentencing whether Scoville should appeal. Trial counsel testified that Scoville did not ask him to file an appeal. Trial counsel did not believe at that time Scoville had an appealable issue since he had received a downward departure sentence and a favorable plea bargain.
Scoville testified he did not recall his trial counsel having informed him of his appeal rights. Scoville specifically denied that his trial counsel even mentioned appeal rights during their conversation following the sentencing hearing. Although Scoville testified he did not recall the trial court informing him of his right to appeal at either the plea or sentencing hearing, he conceded the sentencing hearing transcript confirmed the court, did indeed, inform him that he "may be able to appeal any decision" the court made that day.
The trial court found Scoville was apprised of his right to appeal at both the plea and sentencing hearings. Further, the court found Scoville and his counsel discussed Scoville's appeal rights after the sentencing and that Scoville did not direct his counsel to file an appeal of his sentence. The trial court found the Ortiz exceptions did not apply to Scoville's circumstances and denied Scoville's motion. Scoville timely appeals this decision.
In Kansas, the right to appeal is entirely statutory and is not contained in the United States or Kansas Constitutions. Subject to certain exceptions, Kansas appellate courts have jurisdiction to entertain an appeal only if the appeal is taken in the manner prescribed by statutes. State v. Legero, 278 Kan. 109, Syl. ¶ 2, 91 P.3d 1216 (2004).
However, an exception is made to the general rule requiring a timely notice of appeal when an indigent defendant (1) was not informed of his or her right to appeal; (2) was not furnished an attorney to perfect an appeal; or (3) was furnished an attorney for that purpose who failed to perfect and complete an appeal. Ortiz, 230 Kan. 733, Syl. ¶ 3. If these circumstances are met, an out-of-time appeal must be allowed. State v. Phinney, 280 Kan. 394, 401-02, 122 P.3d 356 (2005).
On appeal, we review the factual findings underlying a trial court's Ortiz ruling for substantial competent evidence, but we apply a de novo standard when reviewing the ultimate legal determination of whether those facts fit an Ortiz exception. See 280 Kan. at 404.
A review of the record reveals substantial evidence that Scoville was informed of his appeal rights and did not wish to appeal. Specifically, the transcript of the sentencing hearing reveals the trial court informed Scoville that he "may have [the] right to appeal from any rulings or decisions that [the court] made." Further, notwithstanding Scoville's testimony to the contrary, substantial competent evidence was presented through trial counsel's testimony that Scoville and counsel did discuss appeal rights immediately following the sentencing hearing. We are not in a position to reweigh the evidence or pass on the credibility of the witnesses. See State v. Hayden, 281 Kan. 112, 132, 130 P.3d 24 (2006). Importantly, Scoville does not dispute that he did not ask trial counsel to file an appeal.
Citing State v. Willingham, 266 Kan. 98, Syl. ¶ 3, 967 P.2d 1079 (1998), for support, Scoville argues that a full awareness of appeal rights necessarily includes knowledge of any applicable time frame within which such rights must be exercised. Willingham so stated but further held: "Where it can be shown that the defendant was fully aware of his or her right to appeal, or was fully advised of his or her right to appeal by counsel at the time of sentencing, a waiver of that right may be established." 266 Kan. 98, Syl. ¶ 2.
Willingham is clearly factually distinguishable with regard to the amount of information provided to the defendant. In our case, although there was no evidence that Scoville definitely was informed of the time limitation attendant to his right to appeal, there was substantial competent evidence demonstrating that he knew of his appeal rights. Information relating to appeal rights was shown to have been stated to Scoville by the trial court as shown by the transcript of the sentencing hearing. Trial counsel testified that the right to appeal was discussed after the sentencing hearing. Armed with knowledge of these rights, Scoville chose not to appeal. By contrast, the only evidence in Willingham that the defendant waived his right to appeal consisted of defense counsel's recollection that defendant had told him months prior to sentencing that he did not wish to appeal. 266 Kan. at 99. In Willingham, the record was clear that at the time of sentencing, the defendant was not advised either by the court or by trial counsel of his right to appeal. 266 Kan. at 100. Willingham is not violated by the trial court's ruling in our case.
Finally, Scoville's appellate counsel suggests the trial court's detailed explanation of Scoville's right to appeal its decision on his motion to file an appeal out of time somehow undermines the court's ruling thereon. We do not agree; the court's recitation of Scoville's appeal rights following the denial of his motion in no way implicates the validity of the court's ruling on the motion.
We have fully reviewed the record. We hold there is substantial competent evidence to support the trial court's determination that none of the three Ortiz exceptions apply to allow Scoville to file a direct appeal out of time. We have further reviewed the district court's decision by a de novo standard of review and affirm its ruling that none of the three Ortiz exceptions exist to excuse Scoville's failure to file a timely notice of appeal of his sentencing.
In light of these conclusions, we need not address the merits of Scoville's challenge to the trial court's utilization of drug severity level 1 penalties when imposing his sentence.

Provincial health plans cover the medical costs of living donation but there are other expenses which are not covered. Potential living donors should speak to their Living Donor Coordinator about these costs and other practical matters (i.e. insurance, child-care costs) related to living donation.
Living donation is a gift. The donor does not receive any financial or other compensation for donating one of their kidneys.
Medical costs are covered by provincial health plans. The charges for the donor's evaluation, all testing and laboratory work, and doctors' and hospital charges for the surgery and follow-up care are generally paid by provincial health plans.
Non-medical costs are not covered, in most cases. Non-medical costs include travel expenses, out-of-pocket costs, and additional child-care costs. Also included is the possible loss of salary for time off work for the surgery and recovery unless the donor has sick leave coverage available from their company health plan. Generally, these costs must be paid by for by the donor. However, reimbursement of some non-medical expenses is available in some provinces, so speak to the Living Donor Coordinator at the transplant center to find out more.
In July 2006, a three-year provincial pilot program–the Living Organ Donor Expense Reimbursement program (LODER)–was launched in British Columbia by The Kidney Foundation's B.C. Branch in partnership with the B.C. Transplant Society. This program aims to remove financial barriers to living donation by providing financial assistance to living kidney and liver donors.
Insurance matters. Although living donation does not change a person's life expectancy, potential living donors should check with their insurance provider concerning life insurance, private health insurance or travel insurance policies to obtain all the facts.

University of Wisconsin-Platteville quarterback John Kelly came off the bench to throw four touchdown passes in a 52-35 win over Dubuque in the home opener for the Pioneers.
The Pioneers (2-0) outgained the neighborhood rival, 504 to 484 in the win including a decisive 305 to 93 advantage on the ground. Kelly came off the bench midway through the first quarter in relief of starter Nick Anderson and immediately connected with Ryley Bailey for a seven-yard touchdown pass to put the home team up 7-0.
Kelly ended the day completing 23 of 30 passes and 262 yards and four touchdown passes, which tied his career high. He also ran the ball eight times for 37 yards and a touchdown.
The Spartans (1-1) picked up 391 yards passing from Wyatt Hanus, who completed 28 of 42 passes for 391 yards and three touchdowns. His favorite target of the afternoon was Sean Anderson, who caught 13 passes for 170 yards and a touchdown.
The game was tied 7-7 when the Pioneers offense started to click. Kelly found the endzone on a one yard plunge on the Pioneers fourth drive of the contest, and after a defensive stop, Kelly hooked up with junior receiver Aaron Loferski for a seven-yard touchdown.
Late in the first half, Pioneer junior kicker Zach Litchfield booted a 44-yard field goal, the second longest of his career, to give the home team a 24-7 lead going into the halftime break. After two games, the Pioneers are outscoring opponents 73-7 in the first half.
Kelly carried the momentum into the second half, completing a 47-yard pass to Trevor Whitehead for a score. Running back Hank McIvor added a score of his own on a 43-yard scurry early in the third quarter.
Late in the third, Kelly found Ryley Bailey across the middle of the end zone for a 23-yard score, Bailey's second touchdown reception of the day. The Pioneers entered the fourth quarter with a 45-14 lead.
Dubuque would not go away quietly however. The Spartans racked up 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, bringing the score to 45-35, moving the ball down the field with an efficient passing attack from Hanus.
Lee Vlasak, who led the team with 86 yards on the ground, put the Spartans' comeback bid to rest with a 34-yard rush down the sideline, giving the Pioneers the lead at 52-35.
With the win, UW-Platteville extends it record against Dubuque to 14-0-2 all-time advantage in the "Battle of the Bridge" – sponsored by Dairy Queen – which relates back to the tag given the game when the series was renewed in 2005.
The Pioneers head into their bye week before returning to action Sept. 20 in a non-conference game against University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire at Ralph E. Davis Pioneer Stadium.

Australia's 2012 Olympics were historically bad. Their seven gold medals was the first time since Atlanta in 1996 that they fell into the single digits. They had fewer competitors, fewer medals, and only one gold medal in swimming, a sport the Aussies usually dominate.
Reasons behind this failure are starting to leak out with allegations of partying, bullying and discord within Australia's swimming program. The bullying was reportedly at its worst when two older men on the team tormented a younger swimmer, slapping him and calling him "fatty" and "chubby."
Three-time gold medalist Leisel Jones reportedly pulled the bullying swimmers aside to tell them to be leaders, not nuisances. The bullying even led to an altercation where one swimmer ended up with a torn shirt. It became a source of division within the team.
Tommaso D'Orsogna, a 4×100 freestyle relay member, spoke about the bad behavior from the team, and how it was different from previous Olympics. They made prank calls and knocked on doors.
"I suppose the thing is, people are kind of saying 'it's just boys being being boys' but unfortunately I come back and I look back on that kind of thing and maybe that would be acceptable in schoolboys rugby … but this is the Australian Olympic team," 21-year-old D'Orsogna said.
"That kind of behaviour shouldn't be tolerated nor should it be allowed.
"I can definitely confirm that there's no way that any other Australian team that went away to the Olympics would have been mucking around and doing that stuff."
Kevin Neil, the CEO of Swimming Australia, said in a recent interview that his job may be in jeopardy because of London. An inquiry launched by Swimming Australia has been taken over by the Australian Sports Commission. Neil took full responsibility for the poor performance, but that's not going to help Australia's medal count now. Responsible behavior during the Olympics may have helped.

Cleveland Mayor Adds To Obama Endorsements
"As the Mayor of Cleveland I know first hand the struggles that working families face, and how desperately we need a new direction in Washington," said Mayor Jackson.
[National News]
Cleveland Mayor Frank G. Jackson announced his endorsement of Senator Barack Obama for President at a community gathering in Cleveland with Michelle Obama today.
"As the Mayor of Cleveland I know first hand the struggles that working families face, and how desperately we need a new direction in Washington," said Mayor Jackson.
"Senator Obama provides the real change Americans so urgently need, and has spent his life fighting for working families. He is committed to revitalizing the urban core of America, fighting poverty, bringing good-paying jobs back to Ohio, and lowering health care costs. Senator Obama is committed to improving the lives of the least of us. He provides hope to those who need it most. He will fix what is wrong in America today. That's why I am endorsing Senator Obama to be the next President. He will bring change we can believe in."
Jackson took office in 2006 and has aggressively confronted poverty and crime across the city, while also refocusing efforts on education, health care, rebuilding Cleveland's neighborhoods and fostering economic development in downtown Cleveland.
"Mayor Jackson set a model for urban leaders across the country with his plan to restore our nation's cities," Obama said. "It's time we turn the page on the division that has kept us from focusing on the issues that really matter, like ensuring our inner city schools receive the resources required to educate our children, that every American has access to quality, affordable health care, and that we make the economy work for working families. I look forward to working with Mayor Jackson to mobilize Americans to take on the challenges our cities face that have too often been neglected."
Others announcing their endorsements this week were Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann's wife Alyssa Lenhoff-Dann, Ohio Treasurer Richard Cordray, and legislators throughout the state.
Senator Obama has also been endorsed by Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman and Youngstown Mayor Jay Williams.

Broncos players praise 2011 coaching, after playoff run ends
Last January, Broncos players packed up their belongings and left Dove Valley unsure about who their head coach would be. They found out a few weeks later it would be John Fox, but because of the NFL lockout that stretched into late summer, it wasn't until training camp that most players got to know Fox.
Today, numerous players gushed about the job Fox did in his first year in Denver, as the Broncos improved from 4-12 and last in the AFC West to 8-8 and division champs (by way of tiebreakers).
"We were coached well, this year," linebacker Joe Mays said. "That was a lot different than last year. Last year we weren't a well-coached team. The moment Coach Fox stepped in here, that losing aspect just left the building."

Keys to Fitness Success
Setting fitness goals and making a concentrated effort to meet them are key to getting in shape. The following tips can help you meet your fitness goals:
Set realistic, measurable goals. Instead of vowing to "get in shape," commit to walking 20 minutes, three times a week.
Get your fitness tested. Testing pinpoints the area(s) you need to work on, such as your cardiovascular conditioning, strength, flexibility, or balance.
Keep a daily exercise diary. Record how far you walked, how hard you pushed, how many sets of shoulder exercises you did, and how you felt during your workout.
Work out with a buddy or join a club. You'll gain more motivation — and fitness — than if you exercise alone. Just make sure your buddy is reliable and motivating. If you're Internet-savvy, countless Web sites bring together like-minded fitness buffs to discuss their training, share tips, and talk through challenges. Search Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter to find a group.
Pace yourself. Don't do three hours of exercise or attempt to lift 250 pounds your first time out. You'll burn out fast and may even get injured.
Train for an event. Nothing keeps you motivated to exercise like being on a mission, whether it's to finish a 5k walk or 50-mile bike ride. The feeling of accomplishment you get from completing your event is like nothing else.
Dress the part. You don't have to become a fitness gear junkie, but having the right clothing and equipment keeps you safe, makes you comfortable, and gets you fired up to work out.
Educate yourself. Keep up with exercise trends and techniques by reading Web sites, blogs, and books.

On August 3, the biologists euthanized a mule deer buck in the Manti-La Sal National Forest southwest of Monticello.
The deer was walking in circles when the biologists found it. It also had a swollen tongue and was salivating excessively.
After euthanizing the deer, the biologists collected tissue samples from the animal. They sent the samples to the Utah Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory in Logan.
Results the DWR have received from the lab confirm the deer had epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD).
EHD does not affect people, but it does affect deer and can spread in deer populations. Because the area the buck was found in is fairly remote, biologists need your eyes and ears. If you see any sick or dying deer in the area, please report the animals to the DWR's office in Price.
The telephone number is (435) 613-3700.
Leslie McFarlane, wildlife disease coordinator for the DWR, says 2007 was the last time EHD was documented in Utah.
"The disease is exacerbated by these hot, dry conditions," McFarlane says. "Some states are seeing huge outbreaks this year. In Nebraska, for example, hundreds of deer have died."
Symptoms that indicate an animal might have the disease include weakness, listlessness, lack of coordination, excessive salivation, lameness, inability to get up, shortness of breath, swelling of the face, and ulcers on the tongue and mouth.
McFarlane encourages you to harvest a deer only if the animal appears healthy, alert and active.
Those who observe deer or elk that show any of the symptoms described above should call the Price DWR office and report the location of the animal as precisely as possible.
Global positioning system (GPS) coordinates are helpful in helping officers and biologists locate sick animals.

So downloaded the technic launcher in order to play some of what technic has to offer and I get stuck on the sign in! The sign in asks you to sign in with a Mojang account which cannot be created anymore as it automatically sends you to Minecraft.net in order to make an account there. You Cannot use a Minecraft.net to sign in so I'm kind of stuck on what to do, I already own minecraft on a Minecraft.net account. Any help would be appreciated! How would I go about getting into the technic launcher?

"I've always loved the way movie stars in the forties looked when they were off set," says makeup artist and cosmetics mogul François Nars. "Shot poolside or at their home, they always wore a matte red lipstick with practically no foundation—it was how they wore makeup in real life." Though the phrase "real life" requires quotes when referring to Lauren Bacall or Rita Hayworth, Nars has lately been making it his mission to update this classic look for a new era. Among his best-selling lipsticks are femme fatale colors like Jungle Red and Red Lizard—retro shades with high-tech pigments and moisturizing elements for a smooth application. And because the ideal backdrop to a bold lip is a dewy complexion, this month Nars is launching Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer, a barely there alternative to foundation. "Your skin can breathe with it on," he says. "And you can apply it in two minutes. Boom, boom, boom—you look great." The sheer lotion is loaded with natural hydrators and a sturdy SPF 30, and it's available in nine shades.
"A fresh face with a red lip is timeless," Nars says."It's supermodern and relaxed but very chic."

This week, the State Department denied TransCanada's permit to develop a proposed 1,700-mile pipeline that crosses the American-Canadian border. This pipeline, know as Keystone XL, would transport crude oil and bitumen, a tarry pre-oil material mined in Canada's tar sands, from Alberta, Canada, to the Texas Gulf Coast. There has been much debate over the potential benefits of the pipeline with respect to jobs and America's energy security, but significant concerns also have been raised about the safety of the project with respect to surrounding communities.
A project this big and important demands and deserves careful and reasoned deliberation. Unfortunately, Congressional Republicans decided they would rather embarrass the president than work with him to create jobs. They forced a decision on the project before deliberations were complete, knowing full well that by doing so they all but assured the project's rejection. Instead of creating jobs, they hoped only to create an election year talking point about the president's commitment to jobs. We support the president's refusal to play along with this cynical and arrogant political game.
The decision to deny the current permit does not prevent the potential development and deployment of TransCanada pipeline; rather it leaves the door wide open for the project to be proposed again. TransCanada already has committed to re-apply for the needed permits. Given the complexity of the issues surrounding the Keystone XL project, we agree that more time is necessary to do a proper assessment of the environmental, safety and jobs impact elements associated with it.
Our nation's roads, bridges, highways and pipelines are critical parts of our infrastructure. In order to ensure sustainable future for American workers and our environment, we have to make sure we tap all of our capacity and ingenuity to build and repair the infrastructure. That means placing a preference on domestically sourced material in the construction of these projects. This will ensure the growth of both the American workforce and the domestic manufacturing industries. We have experienced enough missed opportunities such as the construction of a new San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge in California. This over-budget ($7 billion) and delayed project will be constructed using poorly made steel from a state-owned Chinese company.
American manufacturing workers cannot afford the same mistake to be made in a project as structurally significant as the TransCanada pipeline. Our union strongly believes in securing our nation's energy future, but North American manufacturing must play a role in the development and deployment of these projects and technologies. With respect to a potential pipeline, that means making sure that as many of the component parts from the pipe to the valves and cement are made using North American parts. TransCanada, however, sourced some of the pipe for the project to India, to the dismay of our 2,000 members at U.S. Steel's Granite City Steelworks, who were laid off due to lack of demand. To add insult to injury, the Indian pipe destined for the ConocoPhillps/TransCanada pipeline sat right outside the idled steel plant When TransCanada presents its modified proposal for a pipeline, our union looks forward to working with the administration and others to ensue that the eventual project is done in the safest and most economically beneficial way for our members and their communities.

A 23-year-old Rutland man is charged with motor vehicle homicide while driving under the influence and the victim in the fatal, single-car accident was the man's 52-year-old father.
Harrison J. Locke, 23, of 94 River Road, Rutland, is charged with motor vehicle homicide while driving under the influence, motor vehicle homicide by negligent operation, negligent operation of a motor vehicle and speeding. The charges stem from the death that happened shortly before 1 a.m. May 10.
According to state police Sgt. John C. Jakubowski's collision reconstruction report, Harrison Locke was traveling northbound at a high rate of speed on Route 56 (Pommogussett Road) when he lost control and his Toyota Tacoma truck drifted off the west edge of the roadway, striking a tree. The vehicle rotated counter-clockwise back into the roadway before to coming to rest.
The passenger in the vehicle, Nathan C. Locke (Harrison's father) suffered fatal injuries as a result of the crash.
ust before the crash, Harrison Locke had overtaken another northbound vehicle, the driver of which stated that the Toyota was traveling at a high rate of speed, according to Rutland Police Officer Thomas J. Downey's report.
As Mr. Downey approached the vehicle, he was able to open the driver's side door slightly and found Harrison Locke pinned beneath the dashboard and steering wheel.
As the officer opened the door a large amount of blood came from Harrison Locke's mouth and nose area onto the ground and the officer heard Harrison Locke struggling to breathe, Mr. Downey said in his report.
Mr. Downey then went to the passenger side of the vehicles and attempted to open the door but was unable to because of the heavy damage. He smashed out the window using his baton. He then moved the side airbag out of the way and saw Nathan Locke pinned in the passenger seat.
Nathan Locke showed signs of heavy trauma to the face, head and chest. The officer was able to obtain a slight pulse from Nathan Locke at this time, according to Mr. Downey.
Nathan Locke was taken to UMass Memorial Medical Center — University Campus in Worcester and was pronounced dead a short time later.
According to the autopsy report prepared by Dr. Richard Evans, the cause of death was "cardiac laceration with hemothorax" and the manner of death was listed as motor vehicle accident." Nathan Locke's blood alcohol content was 0.14 percent, according to Mr. Jakubowski's report.
On Aug. 14, Harrison Locke told Mr. Downey that he didn't remember anything about the accident because he is suffering from memory loss.
He said the last thing he remembers is being at his friend's house and drinking a soda when his father called him. Harrison Locke said his father was having a "bad day" and wanted to go out and talk.
Harrison Locke told the officer he had suffered several broken bones, ribs, and internal injuries to stomach, kidneys, liver and spleen as a result of the accident. He also said he suffered major head trauma and bleeding around his brain, according to Mr. Downey's report.
Harrison Locke was likely driving at a speed of approximately 63 mph in the posted 40 mph zone at the time of impact, police said.
He did not apply his brakes or make any attempt to steer away from the tree as he was approaching impact. At 63 mph, he was traveling approximately 92-feet-per-second and he was off the roadway at least 1.5 seconds before hitting the tree, according to Mr. Jakubowski's report.
Blood tests at the hospital showed Harrison Locke's blood alcohol level to be "well above" the 0.08 percent legal limit, according to Mr. Jakubowski's report.
Harrison Locke was arraigned Wednesday in Western Worcester District Court, East Brookfield.
He was released on personal recognizance and ordered to abstain from drugs and alcohol. A pretrial hearing is slated for Nov. 29.
Nathan Locke, of River Road, was a campground manager for the Pout and Trout Campground and longtime Board of Health member.

|Lalit Modi gets ED summons in alleged money-laundering case
JPNN/Mumbai /Jul 06, 2015/The Enforcement Directorate has issued summons to ex-IPL boss Lalit Modi in connection with an alleged money-laundering case registered against him here. "Summons were issued last week to Modi through his attorney, who appeared before us for an adjudicatory hearing," an ED source said.According to the source, Modi has been asked to appear in three weeks.Earlier last week, the agency also recorded the statement of former BCCI chief N Shrinivasan.
The case relates to a 2008 deal between World Sports Group (WSG) and Multi Screen Media (MSM) for television rights of Indian Premier League (IPL) worth 425 crore.BCCI, through Shrinivasan, filed an FIR in Chennai in 2010 under various provisions of the IPC, while two years later the ED registered a case under Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in the matter.In 2008, the BCCI awarded 10-year media rights to WSG for USD 918 million. In the same year, WSG entered into a deal with MSM to make Sony the official broadcaster. The contract was replaced a year later with a nine-year deal where MSM paid USD 1.63 billion.The ED started a probe in 2009 under Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) to investigate allegations that payment of 425 crore facilitation fees by MSM Singapore to WSG Mauritius was made in an illegal way.The payments were made to "unauthorised beneficiaries" and not the cricketing regulating bodies as per the terms of the contract, ED said.

The controversy around Nestle's Maggi noodles has caused panic throughout the nation and it doesn't look like it will die down any time soon.
After the initial test results by Uttar Pradesh Department of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) showed harmful levels of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and lead in Maggi, various states across India and even Bangladesh conducted tests on Maggi to find out whether the food product is safe or not.
The controversy around Maggi has led to tests being conducted across the country.
The entire controversy began when the UP FDA last month asked Nestle India to withdraw a batch of Maggi noodles "which were manufactured in February 2014" after it found high levels of added MSG, a taste enhancer, in the noodles and lead beyond permissible limits.
