Last Time Out
The Crimson lost three straight matches to open the 2012 campaign at the Hokie Invitational. Harvard dropped a nail-biter to Middle Tennessee State in the first match of the weekend, 3-2, before falling in straight sets to both Virginia Tech and Towson. Senior Taylor Docter led the way for the Crimson with 2.82 kps and 2.18 dps, while freshman Kathleen Wallace turned in an impressive debut with 2.27 kps.
Senior co-captain Taylor Docter was named to the Hokie Invitational All-Tournament Team after leading the Crimson on both offense and defense last weekend. Docter recorded her first double-double of the season with a 14-kill, 11-dig effort in the opener versus Middle Tennessee State and later posted 11 kills and seven digs against Towson. She finished the weekend averaging 2.82 kps and 2.18 dps.
Harvard Invitational
The Crimson went 2-1 at last year's Harvard Invitational and is 10-8 all-time in the tournament which dates back to 2006. This year's senior class of Taylor Docter, Beth Kinsella and Olivia Staffon has posted a 5-4 record in the event. Manhattan, Northern Kentucky and Providence will each be playing in the tournament for the first time.
Keep an Eye Out For…
Taylor Docter and Teresa Skelly entered the 2012 season with a chance to make their marks on the Harvard record books. Docter sits just outside the program's all-time top 10 for career kills with 730, while her career 2.53 kps has her tied for ninth in school annals. Skelly, meanwhile, is just shy of entering the top 10 in total blocks (194) and block assists (170).
Scouting Manhattan (1-5)
Manhattan enters play this weekend having lost three straight matches at the Tribe Invitational after opening the year with a 1-2 record at the La Salle Invitational. The Jaspers are led by Mariana Furquim, who has averaged 3.05 kps and 3.32 dps, and Alexa Lampasona, who has notched 3.00 kps with a .247 hitting percentage. Hollegn Henderson has served as the team's primary setter with 8.71 aps, while Kelsey Huntoon has paced the defense with 5.59 dps.
Scouting Providence (1-9)
Providence has lost five straight matches entering the weekend including a 3-0 loss at Rider Tuesday night. Anna Russian (2.56 kps), Mackenzie Ziegler (2.47 kps) and Colleen McCollom (2.42 kps) have provided steady offense for the Friars with McCollom also adding 2.36 dps. Jordan Wiesler has dished out 8.25 aps, and Cassie Muzzonigro has recorded 4.31 dps.
Scouting Northern Kentucky (7-0)
Northern Kentucky enters the weekend on a roll, having won each of its first seven games to open the season. Most recently, the Norse won 9-of-11 sets to take first place at the Comfort Inn and Suites Invitational hosted by Morehead State. Kelly Morrissey and Shelby Buschur lead the team with 3.12 kps and 3.00 kps, respectively, while both have hit .276. Buschur has added 0.80 bps on the defensive side of the net with Jenna Schreiver dishing out 11.84 aps.
Captain of the Ship
Senior Taylor Docter was voted by her teammates as the 59th captain of Harvard women's volleyball. Docter was an All-Ivy League second team and Academic All-Ivy honoree in 2011 after ranking eighth in the conference in kills per set (3.05), seventh in aces (0.27) and seventh in points per set (3.52). The Los Altos, Calif., native also averaged 1.72 dps on the defensive side of the net and finished her year with career-highs in kills, attempts, hitting percentage and digs.
"Taylor has been an impact player since her freshmen season," Head Coach Jen Weiss commented. "She came in this preseason in great shape and ready to work hard. As a second team All-Ivy outside hitter, she led our team in points scored and kills per set. She has a natural ability to lead and her peers respect her on and off the court. Taylor's composure on court has been tremendous this year and I look forward to her leading the team."
Welcome Back
The Crimson welcomes back nine letterwinners from last year's squad which posted a 12-12 overall record, marking the program's first season of .500 play since 2004. Taylor Docter and Kristen Casey are the team's top returners on offense after averaging 3.05 kps and 2.71 kps, respectively, while Teresa Skelly (1.00 bps) and Erin Cooney (0.60 bps) will be looked upon to help stabilize the defense. Other returnees include seniors Beth Kinsella and Olivia Staffon, junior Natalie Doyle and sophomores Tara MacLean and Caroline Walters.

Colorful Critter Train
WHEN Crafting Traditions kitchen staffers saw Tannye Johnson's fun birthday outfits on the previous pages, they got busy engineering a critter train cake you can couple with those costumes! You won't need to track down exotic ingredients to make it either—all it calls for are store-bought cookies, candies and cake mix. You even use purchased pre-made frosting to put the train together. So it's a treat to make and eat.
Total TimePrep: 1-1/2 hours Bake: 35 min. + cooling
Makes1 Train Cake
- Materials needed:
- Pattern
- Cutting board
- Ruler
- Finely serrated thin-blade knife
- Pastry bag
- Decorator tipsribbon, round, small and large stars (Wilton ribbon tip #5 and star tips #18 and 23)
- 10- x 5-inch jelly roll pan
- Dish towels
- Waxed paper
- 14- x 19-inch board or heavy cardboard, covered with freezer paper or plastic table covering
- Groceries needed:
- One 1-pound box of graham crackers
- 10 pretzel sticks (3 inches long)
- 6 sugar wafers
- 5 chocolate/vanilla sandwich cookies (one 2-1/8 inches across and the rest 1-5/8 inches across)
- 4 shortbread cookies (1-3/4 inches)
- 2 chocolate-covered mint cookies (1-3/4 inches)
- 1 animal cracker
- 2 rolls of Wild Cherry Life Savers
- 1 roll of Assorted Life Savers
- Red Hots or Wilton Cinnamon Sprinkle Decorations
- Small package of M&M Candies
- Red shoestring licorice or Twizzlers Pull-N-Peel Licorice
- Red gumdrop
- 3 candy clown or clown head icing decorations (optional)
- 3 tablepoons Wilton Meringue Powder
- 4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 6 tablespoons warm water
- 1 package cake mix of your choice (regular size)
- Canned white and chocolate frosting
- Green food coloring
- Directions: Read all directions before beginning work. A clear day with low humidity will give you the best results with Royal Icing. Assemble and decorate the critter train. This can
- be done a week in advance and stored in an airtight container. Do make sure to have extra icing on hand the day of the party for any necessary last-minute repairs.
- CUTTING CRACKERS/COOKIES: Use a clean ruler and knife to score straight cutting lines onto graham crackers and cookies. Cut along straight lines with the knife, working with one cookie or cracker at a time. Place cookie or cracker always on crumb-free cutting board, cleaning the board often. Draw the knife toward you on the scored line without applying pressure. Continue to make similar strokes toward you until the cut is completed (five or more strokes).
- To cut curved lines, guide the knife along the lines to make the first stroke. Then cut in the established groove until cut is complete. Or gently carve away the cracker to the marked line.
- ICING: Make icing with recipe that follows, using it to "glue" the train pieces together and decorate them. Making sure that bowl and utensils are grease-free, beat all ingredients until icing forms peaks (7-10 minutes with heavy-duty mixer, 10-12 minutes with hand mixer). Keep in an airtight covered bowl. Cover bowl and
- pastry bags with damp dish towels. *For stiffer icing, use 1 tablespoon less water.
- ASSEMBLY: For each car, refer to appropriate diagrams and individual directions. To "glue" pieces together, fill a round-tipped pastry tube with icing and add lines of icing to edges of pieces being added or as directed.
- Cut graham cracker base piece(s) and sugar wafer axles for each car as directed, then glue sugar wafer axles on edge about 1/2 inch from each short edge.
- Decorating:. As assembly of each car is completed, decorate cars with icing stars (using smaller star tip to make stars), or cover areas with dots, stars or rows of icing, then press in rows of Red Hots, Cinnamon Sprinkle Decorations or M&M's as shown. If desired, add candy clowns or clown heads to back of engine cab and front and back of caboose.
- ENGINE (Fig. 1): Base: Cut two 2- x 4-inch graham crackers. Glue these together for a two-layered base. Glue on a 1-1/2-inch wafer axle (front) and a 2-inch wafer axle (back).
- Cab: Glue four shortbread cookies on edge for sides and add a 2-1/2-inch-square graham cracker roof.
- Wheels: Glue a LifeSaver wheel to each end of the front axle. Glue chocolate-covered cookies to the back axle, making sure that the engine sits evenly. Add a LifeSaver to the center of each cookie wheel. For each side, cut a 3-inch piece of licorice and glue from center of front wheel to center of back wheel.
- Front: Glue four 1-5/8-inch sandwich cookies on edge in front of cab. For "cow-catcher", cut and use one half of one 2-1/8-inch sandwich cookie, gluing at an angle to front of graham
- cracker base. Form a smokestack by gluing together four LifeSavers, alternating colors. Glue to top front of engine front. Decorate as directed above.
- CAGE CAR (Figs. 2 a-c): Base/top: Cut two 2- x 2-1/2-inch graham crackers. Glue two 1-1/2-inch wafer axles onto one 2- x 2-1/2-inch piece. Add LifeSaver wheels to ends of both
- axles.
- Cage: Cut four 1/2- x 2-1/2-inch graham cracker sides and four 1/2- x 1-3/4-inch graham cracker ends. Glue ends of two pretzel sticks (centered 1/2 inch apart) between each set of sides (Fig.), and glue ends of one pretzel stick centered between each set of ends (Fig. 2b). Let icing set thoroughly, about 20 minutes. Add glue to lower and side edges of a cage side and an end and press in place to base with pretzel "bars" to inside. (Side will be along 2-1/2-inch edge of base and end along 2-inch edge.) Quickly press a pretzel into the corner of the cage just formed. Glue an animal cracker to base inside cage. Glue in remaining side and end of the cage, adding a pretzel to all four corners.
- Top: Use template to cut two cage car top sides and two cage car top ends as follows: Trace the templates for the pieces onto
- freezer paper and cut templates out. Place templates on end of crackers and score with knife. Cut out pieces. Add glue along top edge of side and end cage pieces and press remaining 2- x 2-1/2-
- inch graham cracker top piece into place. Let icing set.
- Add glue along bottom and side edges of cage car top sides and ends. Set ends in place between sides on edges of top piece.
- Decorate as directed above.
- CABOOSE (Fig. 3): Base/top: Repeat as directed for Cage Car. Let icing set.
- Lower box: Add two 1-1/4- x 2-inch graham cracker pieces for sides and two 1-1/4- graham cracker pieces for lower
- ends. Add remaining 2- x 2-1/2-inch graham cracker for top.
- Upper box: Glue edges of two 3/4- x 1-3/4-inch graham cracker pieces for upper sides to edges of two 3/4- x 1-1/8-inch graham cracker pieces for upper ends. On top, glue a 1-1/4- x 2-inch graham cracker piece. Glue assembled upper box centered on top of lower box. Decorate as directed above.
- b>CAKE: Prepare cake mix as directed on package. Grease and flour bottom and sides of jelly roll pan and line the bottom neatly with waxed paper to aid in removal from pan. Bake according to package directions. Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto cooling rack. Let cool completely. Place cake in the middle of covered board or cardboard.
- FROSTING: Cut a piece of freezer paper the same size as the jelly roll pan bottom. Draw a train track onto the shiny side of the freezer paper as shown in Fig. 4a. Cut out the freezer-paper track as a template and position
- on cooled cake.
- Reserving 1/2 cup of canned vanilla frosting, tint the remaining vanilla frosting with green food coloring. Frost cake up to the
- edges of the template. (Don't worry if you frost the edges of the template, this will be removed when the template is lifted.)
- Mix 1/2 cup of vanilla frosting with 1/4 cup of chocolate frosting. Lift the template; and frost train track with mixture.
- Use ribbon tip and chocolate frosting to form railroad ties (Fig. 4b), spacing them about 1-1/4 inches apart on train track. Use round tip to add the rails (spaced about 1-3/4 inches apart) and "Happy Birthday".
- Decorate edges of cake if desired with green-tinted frosting and larger star tip.
Note: You may substitute different types and sizes of cookies and candies if you wish. Shopping information: Wilton decorator tips and meringue powder are available from Wilton Enterprises, 2240 W. 75th St., Woodridge IL 60517; 1708/963-7100. Finished size: Cake is 10 x 15 inches.

Wallace recorded a team-high 16 kills in her collegiate debut Friday.
BLACKSBURG, Va. – The Harvard women's volleyball team overcame a 2-0 deficit to force a fifth set against Middle Tennessee State Friday afternoon but could not complete the comeback as it fell, 3-2, in its first match of the season at the Hokie Invitational.
Harvard (0-1) was led by senior captain Taylor Docter who recorded a double-double with 14 kills and 11 digs. Sophomore Caroline Walters turned in 13 kills and hit .647 for the match while freshman Kathleen Wallace posted 16 kills in her debut with a .323 hitting percentage. Senior Beth Kinsella and freshman Hannah Schmidt split the setting duties, notching 26 assists and 22 assists, respectively.
The Crimson defense was on display as well against Middle Tennessee (2-3) as Harvard combined for 11 blocks and limited the Blue Raiders to a .224 hitting percentage for the match. Teresa Skelly turned in six total blocks, including two solo, to lead the charge with Docter and Walters each adding four.
Middle Tennessee was paced by Chelsea Ross' 19-kill, 11-dig double-double and Brandi Weller's 11-kill performance.
Harvard dropped the first set, 26-24, despite six lead changes and 19 tied scores. Back-to-back kills by Walters and Docter moved the score to 9-7, and a block by Erin Cooney and Docter gave Harvard its largest lead of the set, 10-7. Middle Tennessee came back to tie the score again at 10, and the teams remained deadlocked midway through the frame at 16-16. The Blue Raiders seemed to have gained an edge in the momentum with a 6-2 run, but Harvard battled back to make it a one-point game, 24-23, on Skelly's third kill of the set. The Crimson would not complete the comeback, however, as Middle Tennessee put the frame away on a kill by Waller.
The second set remained close in the opening moments as a Wallace kill made the score 9-8 in favor of the Blue Raiders. Middle Tennessee began to pull away with a 5-1 stretch, and later used a 4-1 run to open a 22-15 lead en route to the 25-20 victory.
The Crimson turned the tide in the third set, hitting .258 while holding Middle Tennessee to a -.040 hitting percentage as the squad rolled to a 25-20 win. Harvard rattled off five straight points to take an 11-6 margin off a block by Skelly and Caroline Holte, and led by as many as seven points, 20-13, after the pair teamed up for another block. Back-to-back kills by Walters and Docter put the frame away.
Harvard evened the match at two sets apiece with a 25-20 win in the fourth set after battling back from an 11-5 deficit. A 5-0 Crimson run which included three kills from Walters tied the set at 12, and a 4-0 spurt later gave Harvard its first lead, 17-16. A kill by Holte and an attack error by the Blue Raiders moved the score to 21-18 in Harvard's favor before a Walters kill and ball handling error gave the frame to the Crimson.
Despite Harvard's resurgence after the intermission, Middle Tennessee regained the upper hand in the fifth and deciding set with a 15-8 victory. Consecutive points off Crimson errors gave the Blue Raiders a 6-4 edge which they later turned into a 10-6 advantage off back-to-back kills. Middle Tennessee then put the match away with a 5-1 run down the stretch.
Harvard returns to action tomorrow at the Hokie Invitational as it takes on host Virginia Tech at 12:30 p.m. and Towson at 5 p.m.

Techniques ranging from running to push-ups to sit-and-reach tests have been used to measure various aspects of fitness in children and adults. However, evidence is sparse on how well some of these techniques correspond to desired health outcomes in children, fueling debate about the best fitness measures for youth.
Fitness Measures and Health Outcomes in Youth, a new report from the Institute of Medicine, identifies which techniques to assess fitness in youths have the strongest evidence base and offers guidance to those developing and conducting national youth fitness surveys and school-based fitness testing.

It is a city that must be discovered on foot, perhaps by losing oneself in the magical labyrinth created by
lanes, small and large squares, and canals. Breathing in the atmosphere that is knowledgable of distant places.
Venice is a magical city par excellence, one of the most scenic and extraordinary where history and art reflect in the peaceful water of the Lagoon. Here there is romance, poetry, and melancholy...
So much has been written about Venice that it seems superfluous to remember that this is one of the most unique cities in the world. It has justifiably been named by UNESCO as being a site of important human heritage not only for its artistic wealth, but also for its extraordinary co-existence of the activity of mankind and its natural situation on the Lagoon.
A unique specimen, therefore, as its destiny has been forever linked to water: that of the lagoon and the sea. Every island has been wrenched apart by the water's devastating and hidden force and the initially hostile environment has since been taken into account, respected and modelled judiciously. Thanks to the sea, Venetians have made up for the lack of cultivable land and raw materials with the fleet, born as a means of subsistence, has been transformed into a source of power and wealth.
The colour of the water, its ability to reflect the sky, the façade of frescoed palaces by the best artists of the period, Tiziano, Bellini, Giorgione... the Venetian colour that is born from the water and takes on a special element from superimposing Florentine design. It seems that even in art, the city was destined to be linked to its environment.
The architecture also takes the sea as its theme: the hulls of boats are copied in the roofs of the churches, the spiral adornments that embellish the Gothic portals, the marble and statues that adorn palaces and houses, all of this retells the past maritime foundations, of prolific commerce and war. Today the stones of Venice are like an open book that tells a great history.
To understand the city in greater depth, it is essential to leave the traditional torist routes and to lose onself in the labyrinth of land and water that continually meet and deepen. Venice guarantees emotional enchantment all year round. In the evenings, in that mysterious silence that is only possible in Venice, the city becomes even more extraordinary and dreamlike, leaving us time to abandon ourselves to romance, poetry, and melancholy.

The best laptops of 2011
We reviewed over 70 laptops this year; in this roundup we highlight our top 20
We reviewed 78 laptops in 2011 (and there is a handful more still in the editorial pipeline at the time of writing). They ranged from small and smart AMD Fusion-based models, to big and bold desktop replacements and workstations.
It was a year in which the netbook faded away to make way for small laptops with a little more grunt at the start of the year (AMD Fusion-based laptops) and by November we got to see the Ultrabook.
The Ultrabook is the talk of the moment, with four vendors currently offering their wares for this Christmas period: Acer, ASUS, HP and Toshiba. Ultrabooks are meant to be thin and light, offer good speed thanks to Intel Core i-series processors and possess long battery life. It's a market segment that we think will get better, especially when second generation models are released next year.
At the moment, there are only two Ultrabooks that we think are worthy: the Toshiba Satellite Z830 and the HP Folio 13. It's probably not a coincidence that both of these Ultrabooks are also aimed at business users. They have the best features, best designs and best battery life. The price points for Ultrabooks haven't panned out the way we hoped -- that is to say, we expected a lot more models to be offered at or under $1000. You can find the Toshiba Satellite Z830 for just over $1100 at the moment, which we think is great value for that unit, and Acer has released a $999 version of its Aspire S3, although it comes with a Core i3 CPU rather than a i5 and it has a regular hard drive rather than a solid state drive.
2011 also saw the release of another thin and light laptop that wowed almost everyone who got a chance to play with it: the Sony VAIO Z Series. This is a laptop with a featherweight design, plenty of speed in its chassis and plenty more speed outside of its chassis thanks to its external graphics card unit. It's a laptop that only few can afford though, costing a not-so-cool $3999. Nevertheless, it's definitely a top unit, if not the top unit of 2011 in terms of design.
In the roundup below, you'll find the VAIO Z Series as well as all the other laptops (from the oldest to the newest) that we think represent the best that 2011 had to offer.
1 / 20
The Folio 13 is one of the best Ultrabooks on the market, simply because it's a joy to use and it has all the right features: long battery life, a thin chassis, responsive performance, an SSD, USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, full-sized HDMI and a backlit keyboard. It's a little heavier than other Ultrabooks, but it's so well balanced that you don't really notice the extra weight. We recommend it.

San Francisco: Don't Miss Mojo Bicycle Cafe's Tuesday-Only Burgers
Mojo Bicycle Cafe
639 Divisadero Street San Francisco, CA 94117(map);415-440-2338; mojobicyclecafe.com
Cooking Method: Pan griddled
Short Order: Juicy, delicious burgers with very high quality ingredients
Want Fries with That?Sides vary but you can always order a second burger if you are really hungry
Price: Cheeseburger, $10
Notes: Available on Tuesdays starting at 6 p.m.
"New favorite burger" isn't a phrase to throw around casually. Luckily, I live in a city with people like James LaLonde, who spends his day off making burgers worthy of this title. You can find them Tuesday nights at Mojo Bicycle Cafe, a small below-street-level cafe with a bike shop in the back. The sidewalk outside has a park-let, so on nice days you can have your burger—and beer—outside. This helps because Mojo doesn't have a stove, grill, or much of a vent hood. James brings in a portable stove capable of 12,000 BTUs and a couple All-Clad pans to grill up six-ounce patties with excellent crusts and juicy pink middles. Show up early and grab a seat outside because after sitting inside for a few hours you can feel grease on your eyeballs.
The burgers ($10) start coming out around 6 p.m. and go until the 15 pounds of coarsely ground grain fed beef from Golden Gate Meats runs out. The delicate salty char gives way to a juicy, red center that had me thinking about it all week (just writing about it makes me want one right now).
The first time I visited, the burger was served with cheddar, tomato, homemade fridge pickles, caramelized onions, and aioli on a La Boulange brioche bun grilled on both sides. To my surprise, the following week it came with charred padron aioli and was served on a homemade smoked marrow brioche bun. Yep I didn't just make that up: They replaced 60 percent of the butter in the recipe with smoked bone marrow. The bun was amazingly rich and tender. It was a bit more crumbly than the previous week's bun, but it made up for that in the extra dark, flavorful crust and a richness I assume was from the smoked marrow.
Six ounces was the perfect amount of burger. It didn't leave me weighed down and lethargic like half-pound burgers often do. However, it was so good I wouldn't mind having been weighed down by a second. The burger was so tender I could have eaten it with no teeth, and rather than taking one bite at a time and savoring it, I found myself trying to cram as much of the juicy, salty goodness in my mouth as I could. The beef was so tender and flavorful I would even consider eating sans bun and toppings.
It's hard to imagine anything making this burger better, but James does it right by adding a few minimal ingredients to accentuate the beef's flavor. A single slice of cheddar, caramelized onions, a thin slice of tomato, two slices of crisp vinegar fridge pickles, and aioli do a great job of adding a tangy element that rounds out the burger.
There are usually one or two sides that change based on what's fresh and what James feels like making. I had the roasted corn accompanied by a lime chili butter that outshone the corn itself. I found myself licking the cobb like a lollipop just to get at the sour spicy salty coating around each kernel. Yeah, the corn was good too, but you could put that butter on anything and I'd like it.
I held off writing this review for a few weeks because I wanted to keep this place a secret and stave off the crowds. But hell, this burger is so good I can't keep it to myself, and neither should you.

Cheaper iPhone Still Not a Bargain in China
Apple held its first new product launch in China in Beijing, introducing consumers to two new iPhones. A cheaper model was thought to be aimed at developing markets, but will middle-income consumers in China spend more than $700 on a new phone?

... the ... will see a ... version of the eyes ... that she may be defined find where you lay it ... in time ... it may not be such a bargain joining me now is reporter Paul Mozur from Beijing ... okay so call ... over seven hundred dollars to purchase a knife and in China and a cheaper version we should point out ... ah not such a bargain when it what is Apple thinking here ... he and the day I think a lot of people there were rumors swirling around the time that films can be cheaper than that maybe around three thousand ... renminbi which should be about four hundred US dollars are Stephanie would get suited to the middle range ... of by Chinese consumers that allow the sell side analysts are saying that others are talking about it ... turns out it was totally bogus Apple staying at the high and ... I'm very very high-end ... and of course because of the lack of carrier subsidies in China that means the really expensive ... phone for the average consumer I'll won the most nominal range consumers ... were preceded by a lot of phones made by Chinese companies are cheaper Samsung phones are simply not going to have the cash to shell out for this new phone ... ok and and there is a lot of speculation in the mean that too on Apple's announcement that it was launching a continued to expand into new versions of the eyes and ... a cheaper one was thought to be really themed and developing markets aam like China ... by that ... isn't this really contrary to their strategy ... I mean ... you know after all is in China one of their biggest ... expanding markets ... yet it really is and I in it so I think it's it's left more than a few people scratching their heads about what exactly is is going on here ... aam basically it seems to be an indication from a company that they're sticking to their policy which is is you know serve the high and ... I've made good money offer them a good margins on those phones in remained a live stream product with a really high ... really hyper in value ... and the dishes in the woods with some of the phone business expensive it's really hard to see ... a lot of the people in these the second and third tier Chinese cities ... who just don't make enough money to spend two to three months income on the onthe I Phones ... are going to shell out for that of course in the past some people have spent that money but ... that was back in the days when the I phone was really really warm reversed in these days what all these other cheaper options out there you know me by companies like Wal way I were Shell me which it on the ascendancy ... either just other options that are doing a pretty good job and costing only be a quarter of it ... of what the I phone costs is that just doesn't seem to like it'll make the difference ... at least in volume II were revenue ... then I love analysts were hoping to see out of this phone especially in developing markets like China it's ... ok and just to clarify what kind of price and the five seed writes ... yen TD edify device is coming in at forty four hundred and eighty eight a renminbi which is about seven hundred US dollars ... the five S's even more expensive up above five thousand renminbi so that's even pricier but the difference isn't so huge so in fact if you're going to spend the money on the onthe forty four hundred dollar five C ... I a lot of people as will spend the extra money and if you get the five s which obviously brings with it ... a little bit more ... more class than an inch of allows you to ... show off the private kitchen China's use of the deal and now a deal with the gold phone for instance that's even better ... ideal goal is pretty flashy and and and you know definitely there some Chinese I spend issue of gold ... so flashing that phone out on the table will be all the veterans the people ... you might just spend the extra money on that ... I and and and if I see it prices middle-class takes said he sees eye to getting more bang for your buck ... well um a lot of people were I'm disappointed with the police in China and ... I'm Apple just recently signed a deal with China Mobile's a house that many teams ... in the pool you know and sales ... in yet and we re still we still don't know for sure that they signed a deal what we did it today and this is the bright side for Apple investors and for anybody is kind of ... I've been really big Apple fans that ... they had there was that the Red Chinese regulator today released ... a notification ... that there's an I phone that supports China immobile Small bile standards ... and the sleeve what happens is the Chinese government tests all smartphones before they release them ... and then the puttin in the public ... domain the producer of approval I and in a sheen in pains and licenses that say specifically what immobile standards each phone supports ... and today we soul one that does support ... of the China Mobile standards ... so that seems to be the newest indication that China immobile is getting close to releasing and I phone and that will force allow Apple to address a whole new market ... more than seven hundred million subscribers that time immobile as ... many of whom have not bought I Phones because the I phone for ... did the previous I phone five did not support animal the fastest three G technology to do is basically no point in buying any I a and I phone ... I said that should open up a new market for Apple expanded its customer base but of course how many of the seven million customers can really afford ... such a highly placed bonus is the open question and it may not be as many as of the company or its investors are hoping ... and cake thanks Fran that's home entertaining us from Beijing for more on this

FROSTBURG, Md. – Throughout the history of the program, the Salisbury University women's lacrosse team has produced student-athletes that have put up prolific statistical totals, but today, a new name sits atop the all-time assist leaderboard. Senior Katie Bollhorst, with three assists today in a 19-5 win over Frostburg State University, passed Sue Ackermann (2005-08) for the all-time program lead and now has 151 assists in her four years at Salisbury.
Senior Lauren Feusahrens led the No. 2 Salisbury (15-0, 6-0 CAC) attack with four goals. The Solomons, Md., native added her only assist of the game on Salisbury's first goal, finding junior Shelby Nemecek with 22:22 remaining in the first period.
Sophomore Bethany Baer took a pass from Bollhorst just 35 seconds later to give the Sea Gulls a 2-0 lead. Bollhorst's first assist of the day put her tied with Ackermann, and the senior would soon stand alone at the top of the assist leaderboard. Just 11:33 later, with Salisbury leading 5-2, Bollhorst again connected with Baer to claim the record as her own.
Salisbury controlled the game from the outset, outshooting Frostburg (5-10, 1-5 CAC) 25-5 in the first half and 39-17 overall. The Sea Gulls were able to possess the ball early and often in the first half, winning 12-of13 draw controls in the first 30 minutes of play. Salisbury also won the turnover battle, committing six less turnovers than the Bobcats.
Junior Ashton Wheatley played the first 39:26 of the contest in the cage, turning away five Frostburg shots to pick up the win. Sophomore Alyssa Harmke played the next 19:25, with freshman Chelsea Weinstein finishing the game in net.
Baer added a third goal in the contest and scooped up a game-high four draw controls.
On the heels of wrapping up their conference schedule, the Sea Gulls will next face a soon-to-be conference foe, as 14th-ranked Christopher Newport University will head to Salisbury tomorrow, Sunday, April 21. The team will be raising awareness with their "Lax for a Cure", raising money for breast cancer awareness. Also, the team will celebrate the six seniors who will be playing their last regular-season game at Sea Gull Stadium. That contest is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.

U.C. Berkeley doesn't care much for the dorm renovations student Derek Low has made in his room.
Low set out to make a "ridiculously automated" dorm room. He dubbed it B.R.A.D. - "Berkeley Ridiculously Automated Dorm" - judging from the video he's posted, he succeeded.
In the video, which has sense gone viral, you can see a dorm room with voice activated modes, ranging from sleep mode to party mode.
After the video took off, Cal officials decided they needed to schedule a hearing to decide if Low has broken any housing rules.
But Low is not concerned with the outcome of the hearing. He tells Innovation News Daily, "I'm moving out the dorms in two weeks and moving the entire setup to my own apartment." adding, "The whole system is quite mobile, so that won't be too difficult."
The B.R.A.D. cost Low many hours, and about $200-$300. He said the he spent the most time trying to get the voice recognition to work, and a setup for the automated curtains.
Here's a video of his ridiculous automation.

Memorial Day weekend activities included building an Ugly Drum Smoker. This project started with my friend, Ann, telling me she wanted to buy a Big Green Egg for the farm. They are very nice but run upwards of $1000 and I don't have the occasion to smoke large pieces of meat by my lonesome. (And I can think of a lot more kitchen things I could buy with $1000.)
So, I said...
"If you could find a 55 gallon drum, I could make a smoker for under $100."
About a 1/2 hour latter, Ann called to say she was picking up the 55 gallon drum that afternoon, so I had to make good on my promise.
There are about a million sets of instructions for building UDS's on the web and they are pretty much all the same yet different. And some of these guys (the vast majority are guys but some are ingenious girls like Cowgirl's County Life) have more tools than I have books, so they invest big $$$ into them.
My ambition was to make a smoker for cheap... if I wanted to spend $1000, I would have bought one.
Over the next few weeks, I assembled parts from my garage, the hardware store, the feed store and Ann sent a fancy thermometer and a step bit from Amazon.
I cannibalised an old Weber grill for a cover and the grates. I built a fire basket with the small grate.
The step drill worked out fine.
I tested the smoker with a pork butt.
After 8 hours at 225 it was quite nice.
Of course, I failed to calibrate the expensive thermometer, so I had to remove it and calibrate it. The next day, I smoked ribs. After the initial test firing, I had better control over how to keep the temperature constant. It held right at 250 for a full 10 hours without any help from me. (But the ribs only cooked for 5 hours!)
I will not add another set of instructions, but if you have questions, feel free to ask.
UPDATE: Ann asked if I wrote this in the dark? It seems she felt there were misspellings and misplaced "commas" and general poor syntax. Spell check doesn't like the way I spelled "cannibalised" but it appears to be fine.

Leamington Triathlon Weekend
The Leamington Triathlon Weekend is growing triathlon in South-western Ontario. One of Ontario's oldest.
The race is hosted in Leamington, Ontario. The tomato capital of Canada. Our main race is called the Tomatoman. Leamington is on the shores of Lake Erie, and the race has athletes swimming in the Leamington Municipal Harbour.
The race weekend includes a number of different races. These include our Kids of Steel, Adult Try-a-Tri, Adult Do-a-Du, Sprint Triathlon, and a Sprint Duathlon.
All athletes participating in the race during the weekend will receive a shirt (expected attendance is 400). Athletes range in age from 5 to 75.
Participants are generally experienced racers.
The majority of racers are in their 30s and 40s with slightly more male racers.
3 colour logo to appear on a black t-shirt (most likely a dri-fit type shirt).
Colour preference is red, white, and green. We are flexible on white and green. Red is necessary.
A tomato in the logo or some sort of tomato vine would be desirable.
We would like the design to NOT dominate the front of the shirt. Simple is better. Across the chest or on left breast would be ideal. Again, we are open to all designs.
Current year or race date should be included (June 18&19, 2011).
Reference to the race being the Ontario Provincial Sprint Triathlon Championship should be included.
Attached are logos that we've had in the past or designs that we like.

jQuery is a open source JavaScript library, which has completely changed the way, client side web development was done using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. With growing popularity of jQuery, it become imperative for web developers to learn and take advantage of jQuery and books are one of the best way to learn jQuery. In this article, I am going to share you top 5 jQuery books from my personal collection, which I have looked and researched before purchasing my first book on jQuery, Head First JQuery. Since I like to follow one book at a time, I didn't bother to look into another must read book, JQuery in Action, until I have finished former. After finishing my first book on jQuery, I am quite comfortable with jQuery magic, which means doing things like DOM Selection, traversal, DOM manipulation based on CSS selector, animation and cool effects, and responding to use actions (event handling) in couple of lines.
In short jQuery is powerful, yet easy to understand, very succinct and a must have skill for web programmers and web developers in there resume. I personally believe that you at least to read couple of jQuery books to not only gain confidence, but also to be familiar with subtle details of jQuery library itself.
Though nothing beats documentation, as they are the one, which is most up-to-date, but following a book with simple examples is totally different learning experience, especially if you are beginners and not an expert of HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Though nothing beats documentation, as they are the one, which is most up-to-date, but following a book with simple examples is totally different learning experience, especially if you are beginners and not an expert of HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
5 Must read jQuery Books to learn jQuery
Head First jQuery
jQuery in Action - Manning
Learning jQuery Fourth Edition
"Learning jQuery 1.3 : Better Interaction Design and Web Development with Simple JavaScript Techniques" By Karl Swedberg and Jonathan Chaffer is another good jQuery books for beginners. This book teach jQuery in really nice ways, building on your previous experience and knowledge, there contextual examples and explanation, makes it easy to learn and comprehend jQuery functions. Though this book assumes, you should have a fair knowledge of HTML and CSS, and comfortable with the syntax of JavaScript, no knowledge of jQuery is assumed, which is what works in beginners favours. I wouldn't say a must read jQuery book, if you have already read previous two books, but if you connect with this book, after reading sample chapters, than it's worth buying. Currently latest edition of this books is fourth edition, which brings few more changes from recent jQuery releases. If you have not yet purchased this book then its better to go for fourth edition rather than third or second edition, of-course until you are not getting them FREE or dirt cheap price.
jQuery Cookbook
jQuery Cookbook: Solutions & Examples for jQuery Developers by Cody Lindley is an ideal book for both jQuery beginners and JavaScript experts alike. It's a cookbook, which starts with fundamentals and then explores more practical uses cases with tested solution and using best practices to overcome common web development issues. Like Head First and "Action" series, Cookbook series from O'Reilly is also a popular series and can be a valuable addition to any web developer's bookshelf. Since jQuery cookbook is written to accommodate common problems and there tried and tested solution, three is good chance that you will find solution of your practical problems there. In short, if you like cookbooks and enjoy reading them, than this is one of the best jQuery book for you. It's also a very good book for busy developers, who like to try out examples rather than reading theories. By following simple examples and how to do in jQuery sort of code snippet, you will automatically learn what is needed to implement them. In short, if you are a busy developer, go for this jQuery book.
jQuery: Novice to Ninja
jQuery:Novice to Ninja By Earle Castledine and Craig Sharkie is a comprehensive jQuery book of 480 pages. First Edition of this book was hugely popular and now Second Edition is also available. I haven't read this book completely, but whatever I read, I found them really interesting. This books mixes JavaScript best practices and explains subtle details with ease. This also presents lots of advanced stuff including jQuery plug-ins, which is good, once you are familiar with basics. Overall, I suggest reading couple of sample chapters and if you connect with this book, than consider buying it. By the way don't god with title, from novice to Ninja, don't expect to become master of jQuery by just reading this book :), you need to lot of jQuery coding, before coming close to efficiently use them.
That's all on this list of best jQuery books for beginners and intermediate web developers. Since jQuery is very popular in modern day web development, there are many books and material available. One thing, which you start using, once you have basic knowledge of jQuery is there API documentation. They also have working examples and demo, which can be handy along with following any of these jQuery books. Senior web programmers and jQuery developers, let us know if you come across a good book on jQuery, which is not included in this list.

I can't remember exactly when I decided that I wanted to someday attend Cal Poly, but I think it was well before high school. Between seeing my parents' CP letterman's jackets hanging in the closets, attending Mustang football games, and watching my cousins attend the university, I knew that I, too, wanted to be a CP Mustang.
Never in my years as a student have I felt more pride in an institution than I do as a second year at Cal Poly. Through meeting people in classes, attending seminars and sporting events, and joining clubs, I feel a true connection to my fellow students that I never quite experienced in middle or high school. This said, I was so excited to learn that I had the opportunity to attend the annual Mustang Madness dinner in support of Cal Poly Athletics. Complete with a superb steak dinner (from none other than Madonna Inn), and a silent and live auction, the fundraiser was a great success and raised an incredible amount of money and support for Cal Poly and Cal Poly athletics. I was even lucky enough to get a picture with our university president, Mr. Jeffrey D. Armstrong!
Last month, Cal Poly welcomed thousands of families and prospective students for the annual open house. I always enjoy the different displays and programs that clubs and departments put up, but I had a special part in the 73rd annual Poly Royal Rodeo. I didn't have any spectacular luck, but regardless I was cheered on by a packed audience of students, friends, and family alike. At the Mustang Madness dinner, I was pleasantly reminded of the incredible support that Cal Poly has from alumni and donors, which make the things that we Mustangs love about Cal Poly. The image below is of Callie Whitney, the 2013 Poly Royal Women's All Around Winner, and a proud CP Mustang!

For electromagnetic radiation the velocity of propagation is $c = 1/\sqrt{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}$. Since both $\mu_0$ and $\epsilon_0$ do not vary in any inertial frame, then $c$ must be constant in any inertial frame.
Now apply the argument to sound. The velocity of sound in a rod clearly doesn't change regardless of the velocity of the rod, but it's obvious that if the rod moves past me at the velocity of a sound wave in that rod, the sound wave will be standing still as I view it.
In other words, there appears to be something wrong with the argument in the first paragraph since the same argument fails for sound, which is also a wave with a propagation velocity.
So how exactly does light differ from sound here? I'm looking for an explanation that would be understandable to a budding scientist who is a non-physicist. (I'm trying to prepare to explain special relativity to my daughter (a geologist who's taking a course in cosmology), and want to be able to explain special relativity from first principles, in such a way that special relativity becomes obvious and simple).

Compare apples to apples
To effectively compare homeowners policies, you need to compare policies that are alike. Before you can do that, though, you have to make some decisions about the coverage you're looking for. Several standard homeowners forms or policies are available to you, so start by choosing the one that best suits you. If you're like most homeowners, you'll find that the HO-3 form provides the most attractive package of coverage. There are a number of basic questions you should consider, such as:
How much coverage do you need for personal liability and medical payments? Your coverage in these areas should be sufficient to protect your assets if someone files a claim or lawsuit against you.
How much coverage do you need for your home itself? Your mortgage lender and even your insurer may require a minimum amount of coverage, but that may not be enough to replace your home if disaster strikes.
How much coverage do you need for the personal belongings in your home? That depends on the types of property you own and the value of your items, so one of your first steps should be to do a complete household inventory.
What special coverages do you want that aren't part of the standard package? Adequate coverage may require endorsements (attachments) to your policy or even separate insurance policies. For example, if you have a valuable coin collection or a fur coat, you may need to amend the basic policy to cover them fully.
What out-of-pocket deductibles are you comfortable with? Deductibles typically apply only to the coverage on your home and personal property, not to your personal liability.
It's probably best to have a qualified insurance agent or broker help you sort out these and other coverage questions. The answers you come up with will give you a framework for comparing policies and allow you to eliminate ones that don't meet your needs. That will make the rest of your job a lot easier.
Compare premiums
The premium is obviously important when you're comparing policies. After all, your main goal is to get the coverage you need at the lowest possible price. This is especially true when you're on a tight budget, though no one wants to pay more for coverage than necessary. You should get premium quotes from at least three reputable insurers and compare the results. Before giving you a quote, a company representative will ask you a series of questions about the coverage you're seeking and other matters. If you're working with an agent or broker, he or she will select the insurance companies and provide them with your information. Another option is to use an independent on-line quote service.
The quotes you receive will depend on the specifics of the coverage you're seeking. Many other factors will also affect the cost of your insurance, such as the location of your home, the age of your home, the type of construction, the distance to your local fire department, the amount of your deductibles, and any discounts you may qualify for. But even though most companies use the same variables to arrive at their quotes, don't expect the quotes to be the same or even similar. Annual premiums for comparable coverage can vary by hundreds of dollars among companies. Each company's rates are based on its own areas of specialization, customers, and claims-paying history.
Compare coverage and service
Comparing policies requires that you look at the whole package. If the quotes you get are for policies that provide comparable coverage, the lowest-priced policy may offer the best overall value. However, that's often not the case. Sometimes a more expensive policy may actually be a better deal when you consider issues other than cost. Though homeowners policies are standardized to some extent, it's important to look closely at each policy because the details of coverage may vary. You should also compare the insurance companies behind the policies. Here are some key issues to explore with the help of an insurance agent or broker:
How long has the company been selling homeowners insurance?
How do private rating firms rate the company based on financial stability and other factors?
What level of customer service can you expect from the company? For example, does the company have a reputation for paying claims in a timely manner?
How long do you have to file a claim after a fire, theft, or other loss?
Will the company cancel your policy if you miss a premium payment, or will it just send you a late notice?
Will the company deny coverage or cancel your policy after a certain number of claims? For example, will the company cover you only once for liability claims that result from your dog biting someone?
Are you covered only up to a certain limit for your home itself, or will the company cover the full cost to replace your home? Is it guaranteed replacement cost coverage, even if the price of labor and building materials has gone up (sometimes this requires an endorsement)?
What about damage to your home that results in a partial loss (e.g., one room burns)? Do you need a certain amount of coverage on your home to be fully covered for these partial losses? Ask about coinsurance requirements, too.
How much coverage does the policy provide for your personal property (there is usually a total coverage limit, as well as separate limits for furniture, jewelry, and other types of property)? How much will it cost you to raise these limits and/or add coverage for other items?
Is coverage for your personal property based on replacement cost value or actual cash value (depreciated value)? It's usually actual cash value, so how much extra will it cost if you want replacement cost coverage?
Can you raise your coverage for personal liability, medical payments, and additional living expenses above the standard limits? How will doing so affect your premium?
How do different deductibles for dwelling and property coverage affect your premium?
What perils does the policy exclude from coverage (covered perils are pretty standard on the HO-3 form, but sometimes you'll find variations)? For example, does the company exclude windstorm damage because you live in a high-risk part of the country?
Does the company offer all of the optional endorsements you're looking for, and at what extra cost (e.g., an inflation guard endorsement, earthquake insurance, watercraft coverage)?
How do the company's discounts stack up against its competitors (e.g., discounts for installing a security system or insuring your home and car with the same company)?

Sao Paulo GRAND SLAM | 8 - 13 October 2013
São Paulo, Brazil, October 13, 2013 – It took three sets like it did earlier in the week in pool play, but once again Brazil's second-seeded Pedro Salgado/Bruno Schmidt outlasted USA's 18th-seeded Phil Dalhausser/Casey Jennings Sunday to capture the gold medal during the final day of the $440,000 FIVB São Paulo Grand Slam double-gender tournament as the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour returned to Brazil for the 27th consecutive year.
With the 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour resuming in South America after a six-week hiatus, the gold medal matches in each gender of the ninth 2013 FIVB Grand Slam event were played Sunday morning. The event was held for the first time in São Paulo in the purpose-built site that is located on the expansive grounds of Parque Villa Lobos on the west side of the massive city.
Keeping ahead in the race for the season point championship Brazil's Salgado/Schmidt needed the full three sets, but squeezed past USA's surprise team of the tournament Dalhausser/Jennings for the second time in four days, this time by a score of 23-21, 19-21, 15-13 in 67 minutes, the longest match of the tournament. Although pushed to three sets in three of their matches in the tournament including twice by the Americans, Brazil's Salgado/Schmidt completed their run to the title with an unblemished 7-0 record. USA's improbable Dalhausser/Jennings duo earned a 6-2 record during the stay in São Paulo.
Brazil's Salgado/Schmidt were stretched to three sets on Thursday as well to defeat USA's Dalhausser/Jennings during pool play, 21-12, 19-21, 15-12 in 58 minutes.
For winning the gold medal Brazil's Salgado/Schmidt will also receive the first place purse of $33,000 while USA's Dalhausser/Jennings earned $22,000 for the silver.
Sunday's gold medal match between the Brazilians and the Americans was closer than their first encounter. The first set was tied point for point 16 times including the first 11 points and the lead changed hands four times. The second set was even closer with 17 ties and eight lead changes before it was decided. In the deciding third set, Brazil pounded away to build up an 8-4 lead and while never taking the lead, USA did came back from an 8-4 deficit to tie the match at 11-11.
Salgado enthusiastically said following the grueling match, "I am so excited. It was a special Sunday for me. Playing against Casey in the final was a dream for me. He is one of my best friends, part of my family. He and Phil make a very competitive team. I am so happy to win this title at home."
When Dalhausser's regular teammate this year - Sean Rosenthal - withdrew from the tournament last Saturday with an injury, journeyman Jennings gladly accepted the opportunity to not only play but to watch in person his wife Kerri Walsh Jennings win the FIVB São Paulo Grand Slam women's gold medal on Sunday by defeating Germany's Laura Ludwig/Kira Walkenhorst in three sets. Casey and Kerri were the first-ever couple in the 27-year history of the FIVB World Tour to both play in their respective gold medal matches in the same event.
Both FIVB veterans, Brazil's Salgado/Schmidt were playing in their 11th FIVB World Tour event together and playing consistently to lead the FIVB season rankings, this was their sixth FIVB final four appearance as a team and they now have two gold medals, two silvers, one bronze and one fourth place finish. Individually, this was the 108th career FIVB World Tour event for Salgado, his 36th FIVB final four with 13 gold medals and seven silvers. Schmidt was playing in his 74th FIVB career event, his 12th FIVB final four and now has two golds and four silver medals. Earlier in their careers, Salgado/Schmidt teamed up to win the gold medal at the 2006 FIVB U21 World Championships in Myslowice, Poland.
Both FIVB veterans, USA's Dalhausser/Jennings were playing in just their first FIVB World Tour event. Individually, this was Dalhausser's 70th career FIVB World Tour event, his 48th FIVB final four and he now has 26 gold and eight silver medals. For Jennings, this was his 62nd career FIVB World Tour event, his fifth FIVB final four and he now has one gold and two silver medals.
On Saturday, Latvia's third-seeded Aleksandrs Samoilovs/Janis Smedins overpowered Spain's fifth-seeded Pablo Herrera/Adrian Gavira, 21-14, 21-12 in just 29 minutes to win the bronze medal.
After their bronze medal victory, Latvia's Samoilovs/Smedins left São Paulo with a 6-1 record in the tournament, a third place finish and $16,500 in prize money. After their loss in the bronze medal match, Spain's Herrerra/Gavira will leave São Paulo with a 4-4 record in the tournament, an official fourth-place finish and $12,900 in prize money.
São Paulo PURSE
This year's FIVB São Paulo Grand Slam will have the semifinals and bronze medal matches for both genders on Saturday and the gold medal matches for both on Sunday. The gold medal teams in each gender in the FIVB São Paulo Grand Slam will each split $33,000, the silver $22,000, the bronze $16,500 and fourth place $12,900.
The FIVB São Paulo Grand Slam marks the 35th time that Brazil has hosted a men's and 30th time Brazil has hosted a women's FIVB international beach volleyball world tour event. Brazil has staged a FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour event every year since the start of the international circuit for men in 1987 and women in 1992. It is also the 295th FIVB World Tour men's tournament and 257th women's tournament.
The 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour is comprised of 10 Grand Slam events and the 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships. Not part of the World Tour but counting towards FIVB points/earnings are five Open events (four double-gender tournaments and one women-only). The last of 10 FIVB World Tour Grand Slams on the 2013 Grand Slam schedule will be held in China Oct. 22-27 at the double-gender $440,000 FIVB Xiamen Grand Slam.

Jul 10, 2012 | ISBN 9780307588593
"Clear-eyed, sweeping, honest and tough, Nina Burleigh's autopsy of one of the most compelling criminal dramas of our time sets a standard that any of the other other chroniclers of this tale have yet to meet. The story of Amanda Knox is part Salem witch trial, part cultural misunderstanding of an epic sort, and part vendetta. Burleigh found the universal elements of a junior year abroad that shook the world, and she brings them home without sentimentality nor an axe to grind. This is what long-form narrative journalism is all about." –Tim Egan, author of The Worst Hard Time
"THE FATAL GIFT OF BEAUTY is the real, the true, and the complete story of the Amanda Knox case. It will draw you into a nightmare world of murder, conspiracy, corruption, false accusations, police incompetence, abuse, lies, and manipulations. Nina Burleigh is a first-rate journalist who presents a meticulously researched and reported account, with every fact documented and sourced. It is an essential read for anyone interested in this case. More than a murder story, is a look into the dark and complex soul of Italy itself."–Douglas Preston, co-author of The Monster of Florence
"Finally, the twisted tale of Amanda Knox, the all-American college girl convicted of murder in Italy, gets the telling this extraordinary story deserves. Nina Burleigh's immersion in Italian cultural history provides a context that allows us–first the first time–to understand how this international miscarriage of justice could have occurred. Stirring, compelling, and in the end a tragic tale worthy of Italian opera." –Joe McGinniss, author of Fatal Vision, The Miracle of Castel Di Sangro and The Rogue
"The global media, in its frenzied coverage of the sensational Amanda Knox murder trial, overlooked what Nina Burleigh has skillfully unearthed and analyzed–a compelling chain of evidence, subtle levels of significance. Her telling of the tale is clearly the only one that gets it right."–John Berendt, author of The City of Falling Angels and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
"A fascinating book about a beautiful American girl in Italy and how she was prosecuted for a murder she may not have committed. It is also a study in sexism and criminal law–especially in Italy. Horrifyingly readable."– Erica Jong
"Nina Burleigh has cut through the confusion of conflicting and often inaccurate news accounts of the Amanda Knox murder case and given us a lucid, fair-minded account of the case. She shows, quite convincingly, that Knox and her co-defendant have been victims of a serious miscarriage of justice. Perhaps more importantly, she explains why, showing the case to be the product of cultural misunderstanding between Italy and the U.S."–Alexander Stille, author of The Sack of Rome
"[In] this powerful example of narrative non-fiction…Burleigh, who parses how the Knox trial was perhaps tainted, still presents a fair and unbiased portrait of a girl adrift in a foreign legal system and a culture rife with preconceptions about young American women." —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"Burleigh's propulsive narrative and the many unsettling aspects of the case make this a standout among recent true-crime titles."—Kirkus Reviews
"Journalist/author Burleigh (e.g., Unholy Business) reconstructs a murder case that has proved to be about much more than murder."—Library Journal
"A fascinating book about a beautiful American girl in Italy and how she was prosecuted for a murder she may not have committed. It is also a study in sexism and criminal law–especially in Italy. Horrifyingly readable." –Erica Jong, author of Fear of Flying
"Savvy true-crime reporting combined with a headline-hogging murder trial."—Booklist

This series is a collection of free resource to guide our new, current and potential authors through the world of academic publishing. Resources will include social media guidance, how to turn your PhD in to a book, how to write a successful proposal, how to maintain discover ability of your book and many more.
5 Key Tips for Turning your PhD into a Successful Monograph
Some PhD theses make for excellent books, allowing for the research to be distributed more widely, often providing a springboard for a successful academic career. However, it is important to remember that a book is a very different product from a thesis and not all good theses would make good books. Publishers consult with academic referees and make the decision not only on the academic quality and standard of a volume, but on its potential commercial value and market.
The 5 key tips in this paper will help you assess and adapt your own work before presenting it to your chosen publisher.
5 Key Tips for Authors Using Social Media
As an author, you are the face of your work, and the information you share on social media can help you gain exposure and encourage your work's sales. When used effectively, social media can be a powerful tool to help spark interest in your work, convey crucial information in real-time, and foster genuine, direct connections with your readers and potential readers.
Whether you are social media novice or already established, the 5 Key tips in this paper will help give advice on building and reaching audiences.
Key Tips on How to Write a Successful Book Proposal
An academic book proposal is a document which provides an initial overview of a book project, usually in advance of completing a book manuscript. The proposal will initially be read by an Editor in order to assess the suitability of a book project for their publishing programme (or "list").
We have taken insights from our global editorial team across Routledge and CRC Press to develop guidance on how to prepare a successful book proposal. In doing so, we've identified four important themes. Following these will increase your chances of publishing success from conception to publication.
Promotional Tactics to Raise the Profile of Your Book
Publishing a book is an exciting time for any author. Years of dedication and hard work pulled together into a printed volume ready to share with the academic world. As an author, you know your audience better than anyone. This snapshot will help you put that knowledge into the
marketing of your own book, with tips on how to gain a strong online and offline presence to maintain discoverability, even after publication.
Academic Blogging: Why Should I Blog and Where Do I Start?
Blogging, at its most basic level, is the keeping of an online journal. As an academic, you're probably already aware of blogging and know that it has a role to play in your field, but you may not know the benefits of creating a blog yourself or how to go about it.
This paper will demonstrate the benefits of blogging within academia, how to get started, and will provide key pointers to help make your blog a success.
Book Reviews: Advice for securing a book review in a journal
Need help and advice on getting your book reviewed? This snapshot guide gives you tips that will be helpful when approaching journals, and includes advice from reviewers themselves! We also share a glimpse into the review process a journal takes to give you an idea of the hard work behind every review.
Book Launch: Advice and tips for organising your own book launch
Having your book published is quite possibly one of the most exciting moments in your career. After many years of hard work your book is finally in front of your peers and the public. As an author, you may want to arrange a book launch to meet and engage with your audience – who'll hopefully purchase a few copies of your book!
Our resource guide will help you plan your book launch, with advice and tips from Taylor & Francis authors well versed in organising launches themselves.
Navigating Your Success Through Network Collaboration
This resource guide will help guide you through collaborating with our global Corporate Institutional Sales (CIS) team, to help them make the most of your network and connections. Are you planning a launch for your book or know of an institution or employer, societies or association in your network who would appreciate volume book purchasing prices? Would your title be a useful resource for training, CPD, consultancy or brand building? With special author discounts and volume order pricing, the Corporate Institutional Sales team are here to work with you on available purchasing options or facilitate potential leads you may have, to help put your book in both print and digital format in the right hands.
Understanding LinkedIn and How to Effectively Utilise It
The world of social networking can be a daunting place and knowing what content to share on what platform is vital in ensuring you reach the correct audience.
