Dear Drivers and Riders,
We Need to have a voluntary ban on Motor vehicles on Chaple Gate.
You will be aware that we have just won a court case which overturns the ETRO on Chapel Gate.
Chapel Gate is open ( for now) but the PDNPA are determined to close it and they will let us do it for them.
The lane is waterlogged and whilst it has been repaired it has no been repaired for use by Motor vehicles only as a bridal way.
They have a meeting on the 25th of January to decide about closing it again. If the lane is damaged by overuse it will be an open and shut case against us.
Please bear with us on this. We are putting together a plan of action that will hopefully secure this and the other lanes for ?Managed? use by MPV?s for posterity. A hard task which which may not totally succeed in but could be easily scuppered by a few heavy tracks in Chapel Gate.

At our last City Council meeting on November 15, 2010, Charlottesville adopted a "Complete Streets Resolution," officially marking a paradigm shift in the way we design City streets so as to better and more safely accommodate all modes of transportation -- cars, buses, bicyclists, pedestrians, etc. As a result of the passage of this resolution, it is now City policy that all street construction, maintenance, and design/redesign adhere to sustainable "Complete Streets" guidelines and thereby improve access for all users. The full text of the resolution is as follows:
"WHEREAS, "Complete Streets" are defined as roadways that enable safe and convenient access for all users, including bicyclists, children, persons with disabilities, motorists, movers of commercial goods, pedestrians, users of public transportation and seniors; and
WHEREAS, "Sustainable Complete Streets" are defined as Complete Streets with elements of design, construction and operation that also serve environmental sustainability; and
WHEREAS, streets that support and invite multiple uses, including safe, active and ample space for pedestrians, bicycles, and public transportation, are more conducive to the public life and efficient movement of people than streets designed primarily to move automobiles and trucks; and
WHEREAS, promoting pedestrian, bicycle and public transportation travel as an alternative to the automobile reduces negative environmental impacts, promotes healthy living, and is less costly to the commuter; and
WHEREAS, the full integration of all modes of travel in the design of streets and highways will increase the capacity and efficiency of the road network, reduce traffic congestion by improving mobility options, limit greenhouse gas emissions, and improve the general quality of life; and
WHEREAS, many studies show that when roads are better designed for bicycling, walking and transit use, more people do so; and
WHEREAS, the design and construction of new roads and facilities should anticipate future demand for biking, walking, and other alternative transportation facilities and not preclude the provision of future improvements; and
WHEREAS, Complete Streets are supported by the Institute of Traffic Engineers, and American Planning Association, and many other transportation planning and public health professionals;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Charlottesville hereby establishes and adopts a sustainable CompleteStreets Policy whereby all street projects, including design, planning, reconstruction, rehabilitation, maintenance, or operations by the City of Charlottesville shall be designed and executed in a balanced, responsible and equitable way to accommodate and encourage travel by bicyclists, public transportation vehicles and their passengers, and pedestrians of all ages and abilities;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City shall provide for the needs of drivers, public transportation vehicles and patrons, bicyclists, and pedestrians of all ages and abilities in all planning, programming, design, construction, reconstruction, retrofit, operations, and maintenance activities and products; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City shall view all transportation improvements as opportunities to improve safety, access, and mobility for all travelers in the City and recognizes bicycle, pedestrian and transit modes as integral elements of the transportation system."

Bruce's blast leads Reds over Mets
Flushing, NY – Jay Bruce belted the go-ahead homer in the sixth inning and Aroldis Chapman made it stand up in the ninth inning, as the Cincinnati Reds held on for a 4-3 win over the New York Mets.
Bruce and Brandon Phillips each drove in two runs, and Johnny Cueto (2-0) returned from the disabled list and fanned eight over five innings to get the win. Cueto had been sidelined with a strained right lat. He last started April 13 in a 3-1 loss against Pittsburgh, but on Monday the right-hander gave up just three hits and as many runs while walking four batters.
The Reds have won eight of their last 10 games.
Chapman, who blew his past two save opportunities, including Sunday when giving up back-to-back ninth inning homers at Philadelphia, fanned two in a 1-2-3 final frame for his ninth save of the year.
Shaun Marcum (0-5) allowed six hits and the four runs, while fanning seven in taking the loss in the opener of this three-game series. Marlon Byrd belted a three-run homer.
Bruce lined Marcum's first pitch of the sixth inning over the wall in right field to give the Reds a 4-3 edge.
Cincinnati loaded the bases against LaTroy Hawkins in the seventh, but Bruce struck out to end the frame. Hawkins walked off the mound upset at home plate umpire Tom Hallion and was promptly ejected from the game along with Mets manager Terry Collins. Hawkins was particularly upset o a pitch that appeared to hit Phillips with a pitch, but Hawkins argued, and replays showed, the ball hit the knob of the bat.
Jonathan Broxton worked around a single to keep the Mets off the board in the eighth inning before Chapman finished it.
After the game, the thoughts turned away from baseball and to the devastation left by a massive tornado that killed more than 50 people in Oklahoma. The damage hit especially hard to Mets starting pitcher Jeremy Hefner, who attended one of the schools that was hit.
"It's terrifying," Hefner said. "People from Oklahoma are resilient and hard working. This will only make them stronger."
The Reds took advantage of an obstruction call during a three-run opening inning. Shin-Soo Choo walked to start the game, and with one out Joey Votto singled to right field. The ball hit off first base, but Votto was thrown out by right fielder Marlon Byrd going to second. Ike Davis was ruled to have impeded the progress of Votto around first, and the interference error put two Cincinnati players in scoring position.
Phillips then blooped a two-run single to right, and Bruce extended his hitting streak to 11 games with an RBI double to the same part of the field.
"We've got to execute very, very well. We can't give up extra outs," Collins said. "We have to make plays and keep the ball in the ballpark, which has hurt us at times. We have to play pretty perfect baseball right now."
Cueto escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first thanks to three-time Gold Glove winner Phillips, who made a diving stop on a grounder by Davis and threw to first for the final out of the inning.
Rick Ankiel singled and David Wright walked to start the New York third, and one out later Byrd belted an offering over the wall in left field to tie the score.
"It looked like he was feeling his way in the strike zone, really didn't let it go," Reds manager Dusty Baker said of Cueto. "He came back and pitched well after that. He built on that and got the win. The bullpen did a heck of a job."
Phillips flied out to right to strand a pair of runners in scoring position in the fifth.
Game Notes
Bruce has an RBI in five straight games with nine runs driven in during that span ... The Mets signed pitcher David Aardsma to a minor league contract on Monday and assigned the right-hander to Triple-A Las Vegas ... The Mets have scored three or fewer runs in 11 of their last 14 games ... The Reds are 10-5 at Citi Field.

Tutorial FAQs
Who is eligible for a tutorial?
All non-native English-speaking students from the College of Arts and Sciences (undergraduate and graduate), as well as IBS, are eligible for a tutorial, but space is limited so tutorials are allocated on the basis of need. To request a tutorial, email the Program Administrator, Sarah Wagner, or simply complete the online ELP Tutor Request Form. The office in generally open Monday through Friday, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Who are the tutors?
Tutors are graduate and undergraduate students from many disciplines who have significant teaching experience and cross-cultural knowledge. Some of them are international students themselves who are very familiar with the challenges facing graduate students new to this campus, this country, and American academic life. Graduate students generally find that the positive relationship they form with their tutor allows them the freedom to engage intellectually within their discipline at a deeper level by exploring what is confusing or unclear in mastering American writing conventions.
What happens during a tutorial?
Since tutorials are student led, you bring what you want to work on, whether it is an upcoming essay, a literature review, or a chapter of your dissertation. Your tutor will help you develop your ideas, create a thesis, clarify your argument, examine your evidence, and offer help with grammar and sentence structure. If you don't have a paper, you might brainstorm ideas for an upcoming assignment, talk about using secondary sources, or focus on particular grammar issues common to your essays. Some tutees want to focus on reading strategies and how to conquer heavy reading loads.
Can I have a writing tutorial that focuses only on proofreading and correcting my grammar?
The English Language Program offers grammar tutors in the Writing Center twice a week. These specially trained tutors focus on teaching you how to catch and fix your own grammatical mistakes. For more information on this service, please visit the Writing Center Web site.
During weekly tutorials with your regular tutor, the purpose is to teach you to become an editor of your own work. Your tutor will be happy to teach you how to recognize when you drop an article or miss a verb tense. Your tutor is not there to simply fix your mistakes.
How often do tutorials meet and for how long?
Tutorials meet once a week for 50 minutes for two semesters, usually for one year. Sometimes students may request a tutor for a second year, depending on need.
What if an hour is not enough for my work?
You will not always have the opportunity to finish all the material you bring to a tutorial. The tutorial is meant to help you become your own best self-editor, to teach you skills that you can use to review your own work. If you really need to have more than one hour a week, sometimes a second tutorial is possible, either on a regular basis or for a single time. Your tutor will seek the permission of the director if he or she feels additional attention is necessary. When this is not possible, you should go to the Writing Center for additional help.
If I don't have any work, what happens during a tutorial? Do I still have to attend?
Yes, you do. A tutorial is like a class, and since our resources are limited, we need to make sure we make the best use of your investment through regular attendance.
While it is your responsibility to come to the tutorial with questions and material, your tutor also has experience in helping you prepare for effective classroom participation or improving your writing, even without an immediate project.
What if I only want to come occasionally?
A tutorial is a commitment like a class and is intended to give a student ongoing support in strengthening his or her English language proficiency. If you only need help occasionally, then you should go to the Writing Center, which offers both appointments and a drop-in service.
Can I have an online tutorial via e-mail or Skype?
No, we value face-to-face interaction and do not support an online approach to tutorials.
When do tutorials start?
Tutorials begin the week following shopping period for classes, once your schedule is set.
Where do tutorials meet?
Tutorials are held in the tutor's office in Rabb, Golding, Gerstenzang or the English Language Program center in the library. Once you are assigned a tutor, he or she will notify you of a time and place to meet.
What do I do if I have to reschedule a tutorial?
Most tutors are willing to reschedule a tutorial as long as they have sufficient advance notice. If you know you cannot come to a tutorial, let your tutor know as soon as you can-at least by the night before. Use e-mail and check your e-mail at least once a day for communications from your tutor. Cancellations or rescheduling should only be done for cases of illness or emergency.
How much does a tutorial cost?
Tutorials are university-funded and therefore do not cost Brandeis students any additional funds.
What is the English language proficiency diagnostic test?
This diagnostic test aims to identify weaknesses in your academic English language skills that may interfere with course work, teaching and doing research at Brandeis. It is offered to incoming GSAS and IBS students whose first language is not English. It will be held during graduate orientation and will take about two hours to test your listening, reading and writing skills. You will also be asked to sign up for a short interview. After taking this diagnostic test, you will receive the results, which are strictly informative and will not affect your status as an admitted graduate student.
Are there any English Language Program classes offered at Brandeis?
Yes: GSAS students may enroll in one-credit 200 level ELP courses. Two courses, oral skills and written skills, are offered every semester (refer to course catalog for numbers and descriptions). Students receive 'credit/no credit', where credit is granted for satisfactory work and no credit is granted for unsatisfactory work. Credit is awarded if all requirements are met at an acceptable level and the student attends at least 90% of class meetings.
What about ELP classes for undergraduate students?
We have summer and fall courses that are for students admitted into the Gateway Scholars Program. If you are interested in this course, please contact the Director of Gateway Scholars Program.

Communicating About Debt
Part of the Communicating About Money Series
Series About:
As a young businessman drove home from the jewelry store shortly before Christmas, he was beside himself with excitement. It had been a tough year at his business, so he'd had to borrow to purchase the diamond necklace. But he knew the thrill on his wife's face would be worth the cost. Once home, he carefully placed the box under the Christmas tree. He watched with delight as his wife looked at the box and shook it, wondering what it might be.
Finally the big day arrived! Christmas morning, as the wife opened the box, the look on her face changed from curiosity ... to shock. She began to cry, because she knew he had taken on more debt to obtain the necklace.
Surprised at her response? You shouldn't be. I've counseled with hundreds of couples over the years and have noted specific differences in the ways men and women react to debt. In this section, we'll compare those responses. I realize that the following generalizations may not apply to every couple; some husbands are much more sensitive about taking on debt than their wives. However, overall I have found some fairly standard reactions to debt among men and women.
A Husband's Response
Let's begin by examining the typical husband's response. First, the husband will tend to become a workaholic in order to handle the debt. Even though more work and longer hours are not the answer, they are typically the husband's first response when faced with debt. But it's a response that the wife normally does not want. She wants him to be home more. And thus conflict builds.
Second, the husband will stop telling his wife what he is doing regarding debt. He won't even let her know when he takes on more debt or why. Many times as I work through the assets and liabilities with a couple, the wife will exclaim, "I didn't know we owed that!" The husband stops communicating with his wife regarding debt because he is concerned about her reaction. He knows her response will normally be negative. So rather than try to explain why, he says nothing.
Third, the husband may exhibit ups and downs in his spiritual life. I've noticed in counseling with couples that if things are going well (income, job, promotions), then debt is not a big issue and their spiritual life is strong. However, if there is a glitch in their income or the debt load becomes too great, then the couple tends to go into a spiritual tailspin. This is to be expected, because they must work harder and therefore have less time to spend with God. They can't get ahead because they must put all their energy into paying debt, which adds to their stress. This should not be surprising because when we're in debt we feel anxious that our income not go down. Proverbs 22:7 is true — "the borrower is servant to the lender." Therefore, debt can put the spiritual leader on a spiritual roller coaster.
A fourth way the husband may respond to debt is to blame his wife and take no personal responsibility for it. He concludes that he has been driven to assume an inordinate amount of debt in order to satisfy his wife's desires for "things." As a result, he may feel little personal responsibility and even develop an attitude of apathy toward paying back the debt. He takes on more debt yet works less. Eventually he doesn't care if the debt is even paid back. His wife's security is of very little concern to him.
The wife should understand these responses of the husband to debt. Likewise, the husband should expect the following responses from his wife.
A Wife's Response
Debt causes most wives to become very anxious. This is because she has a basic God-given need for security. Because of the woman's basic nurturing instincts, she desires to have a secure environment. Debt threatens this.
I've known of husbands who have suggested to their wives that they go into debt to finance a business opportunity, an investment, or the purchase of a new "toy." The husband is generally surprised by his wife's strong response. Her anxiety and fears may surface with a simple comment that includes the word debt.
She may say, "Why do we need the debt? What if our income goes down? What about our home?" Often a wife's response to debt is much different than her husband's. What a husband may see as a wise business move, the wife may see as a threat to her security.
At this point — just before the blowup or the tears, depending on the wife's modus operandi — it is the husband's responsibility to help his wife understand his reasoning. If she is not comfortable, then perhaps the husband should not take out the debt. After all, is money more important than your marriage?
Out of anxiety comes the wife's second response: nagging. she may continually push her husband on the debt issue. "Why don't you reduce the debt? Why do we have so much debt?" It's my observation, however, that this nagging is simply a plea for communication, a request by the wife for her husband to let her in on what he is doing. She needs to hear his thinking on debt — and how it will be paid for.
A third response of the wife to debt is apathy. She may feel there is no reason for her to watch what she spends if he is going into large amounts of debt. What does her little bit for clothes really matter if the husband is going to spend huge amounts on houses, boats, and other "investments"? Basically, this attitude results if the husband does not help the wife understand why and where debt fits into the overall provision plan.
The final response the wife may have to debt is disrespect for the husband. She does not feel he really cares about her, since he is willing to threaten her basic security by taking on debt. So she begins to belittle him and tear him down. If he really cared for her, she concludes, he wouldn't take on so much debt.
A Couple's Response
Obviously, debt exists in most marriages. Therefore, husbands and wives must prepare for it. The husband's basic drive to provide may conflict with the wife's basic need for security. To avoid problems in marriage caused by debt, each partner should strive to communicate with the other — before debt is assumed. Husbands especially should make sure their wives understand why a debt is needed and how it will be covered. Couples should have a financial strategy in place to avoid the use of debt. Don't let debt become a cause of discontent in your marriage.

Oh, well thank goodness for those little things.
We're sure a lot of guys will be relieved to hear that model Jess Barton has recovered the parts to her prized 1000+ horsepower Supra.
Police found a house that apparently was a huge chop shop where most of her disassembled car was identified in different rooms.
We're happy for her, and for this opportunity to share this pic of the still-intact vehicle.
It's unfortunate that she and her bikini-clad friend had to block the shot.
Make sure to check it out!
Read more about the bikini-clad stuff and the recovered Supra from Jalopnik here.

That is Ike Knupp in the TEAM (Technical Employees of American Motors) AMX. A factory basement effort headed up by Jim Alexander and Knupp. Car was run in 69 and I believe won the Cen-Div that year. They went to Daytona for the runoffs, and I've read that Knupp was leading Alan Barker when something broke. There is a Corvette book (about the L-88??) where Delorenzo or Thompson mentions Knupp out-qualifying all of the BP Vettes and many of the AP cars. This picture might be in that book....it looks slightly familiar. Nice find, SMK!!!klvn8rPS--the car pictured on the SSAMX site is a different AMX than the one pictured above. Knupp did enter a race or two driving that one....but the car in the pic with the Cobras is not it. After speaking with Alexander many years ago, we determined that the original car was most likely lost.
There was a Dwight Knupp from Southfield, MI who ran a Barracuda in '67, car #64. Possible relative of Ike Knupp? I suspect the car at RA was Dwight's car.

Arizona Gov. Brewer, local businesses fight to reopen Grand Canyon
With the partial suspension of U.S. government services showing no signs of ending, tourists will continue to be turned away from the Grand Canyon, despite a push by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and local businesses to reopen the state's signature national park.
Brewer wants the iconic park reopened and has offered to pay for it with state money, but her proposal was rejected Thursday by a park official who said that as long as the federal government remains shut down, such a plan isn't an option.
"I appreciate the support and I thanked them for the offer, but it's not an offer we can accept," said park superintendent Dave Uberuaga.
About 2,200 people who work at the Grand Canyon National Park and its hotels have been furloughed as a result of the government slimdown that began Tuesday. "And that's not counting the economic impact in the gateway communities, all of the related businesses, the bus tours, hiking companies, the jeep tours, all of those associated functions are suffering economically as well," Uberuaga said.
Many of those businesses also have offered to chip in to pay to reopen the park.
Red Feather Properties, which operates lodges in the nearby town of Tusayan, has pledged $25,00 to help reopen the park and is encouraging other businesses to follow suit, according to the Grand Canyon News. Other businesses have pledged about $125,000 to keep the park partially open.
Clarinda Vail, the property manager, said she has reached out to the Park Service about the possibility of operating shuttles between Tusayan and the park. On Thursday night, the town council announced it had committed $200,000 to reopen one of the park's viewpoints.
"I just think that if private entitles are able to step up and say that we'll help and fund to keep the Grand Canyon open for a while, I think it should be considered," Vail told the newspaper. "We need our governor, Congress, Senate, everyone to not use our National Park Service as a pawn in this."
The Grand Canyon News reported that Uberuaga rejected the idea at Tusayan's town council meeting, telling council members that all parks in the country will remain closed, even if enough money is offered to open them on a limited basis.
"Bottom line, any third-party funding of the national park opening will not occur. This is a fundamental core operation of the federal government provided for by government appropriations by the U.S. Congress," he said.
Nationally, at least one other governor also has been turned back in a similar effort. South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard had offered to use state employees to keep Mount Rushmore open.
"It's ridiculous," said Arizona House Speaker Andy Tobin. "Why wouldn't the federal government let local communities or states assist in keeping some of these things open?"
Arizona leaders have a history of bumping heads with federal officials, including fights over illegal immigration and control of public lands. Brewer made headlines early last year when she pointed her finger at President Obama. And in 1995, the last time a government shutdown closed the Grand Canyon, the governor called in the National Guard to get the site reopened.
Then-Gov. Fife Symington, a strong states' rights supporter, led a convoy of unarmed troops to the park's gate. They were met there by the superintendent who negotiated for a partial reopening if the budget impasse continued, Symington recalled in an interview Thursday with The Associated Press.
The shutdown was briefly solved, but when the parks were again closed a month later, the state paid more than $17,000 a day to keep the road to Mather Point and the Grand Canyon Village open.
"I think they knew that we were serious: We were going to open the park if they shut it and kept it shut," said Symington, a Republican who battled the federal government on several fronts.
Such action isn't likely this time around. "This is not 1995," said Brewer's spokesman Andrew Wilder.
Still, Wilder said, the governor wants "to see the Grand Canon opened as soon as possible, but its gates are closed because there's a failure in Washington, D.C."
Meanwhile, Tusayan mayor Greg Bryan said Thursday the town plans to probe who decided that the Park Service would not be allowed to use third-party donations to help keep the park open, the Grand Canyon News reported.
"If it is a policy, we need to ask, when did it take place? When was it put into place? It was obviously not in place in 1995 when the funds were provided," Bryan said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Did you know the egg carton was invented in 1911 in British Columbia in an attempt to solve a dispute between a farmer and a hotel owner who kept on blaming one another when the farmer's eggs often arrived broken? Probably not. But approximately 100 years later, egg cartons are obvious items in almost every modern house and a significant portion of the trash we generate. Yet, from modern art and high-class lighting sets to beds for cats, seed starters and toys - there are countless of ways egg cartons can be reused and otherwise useful. CultCase has photo-listed 20 of them here, but we know there are more. If you know of any others and have some photographs please do feel free to drop us a line anytime and we may publish them here.
1. Eggcubism Village Party
Completed in December 2008 and titled Village Party this new monumental masterpiece by Dutch artist Enno de Kroon is sized 154 x 209 x 24 cm and made of acrylic and egg cartons. If you are a regular reader at CultCase you may have already stumbled The Art of Junk: 7 Creative Approaches to Trash Reuse and met De Kroon. From his studio at Rotterdam, The Netherlands, De Kroon leads a new wave in reuse art and helps taking cubism into the 21st century. (Re)using ordinary egg crates for canvas De Kroon makes spectacular "two-and-a-half" dimensional paintings in a style he defines as Eggcubism. Above: A frontal view studio shot of Village Party. Below: details (cut by the artist).
According to De Kroon:
"The egg carton works came about out of my previous work where I find the relationship between the viewer and the piece as an object to be of great importance. I've always played with distortions of perspective, which puts the viewer on the wrong foot and makes them conscious of their manner of observing. The way we see things is so conditioned and decides what our minds eventually see in something. The egg cartons had been lying around my studio for some time ready for me to be painted upon, but it took some courage before I could take the plunge. It also took a while to come up with a product I was satisfied with."
No textual explanations had been made available about Village Party so far but, since we asked, De Kroon did provide us with a few words of clarifications about the inspirational roots of it. "Village Party was inspired by open air dinner parties that take place in the village streets of Provence in the south of France." Says De Kroon "it is a mixture of different perspectives one can have of such parties and the special social relations they involve. Someone has described my technique as "exploding" perspective. I don't know about that but they are related to Pieter Breugel works."
According to De Kroon he did not use any real photos of the described village party dinners but he did send us a snapshot of the painting 'Peasants Wedding' by Pieter Brueghel the Elder.

I prefer female protagonists and this series of posts is homage to some of the most formidable female main characters in science fiction novels or series.
Last week was a cool One Hundred, but I am still taking suggestions, there is a list of the ones taken at the Index page. I added two new ones all by myself from new books I read this week.
If you wonder about the order, It is random.
I would like to thank you all for your suggestions; I love new books to read especially about formidable female protagonists. Here are this week's. Angelina and Morgaine are old friends and Karen and Elke newer ones. Hazel is the new to me one this time which I hope to rectify soon.
1. Elke – Fireinthehole (Michael Z. Williamson)
2. Lt. Karen Juniper – Professional Soldier (Eric Johnson)
3. Hazel D'Ark – Rebel Pirate (Simon R. Green)
4. Angelina diGriz – Lovely Ex-Psycho (Harry Harrison)
5. Morgaine – Destroyer of Gates (C. J. Cherryh)
Elke – Fireinthehole
Books: Better to Beg Forgiveness… (2007), Do Unto Others (2010)
Series: Freehold bodyguards (my designation)
Universe: Freehold
Author: Michael Z. Williamson
Genre: Military Science Fiction
Publisher: Baen
I just finished Do Unto Others and it was another entertaining Freehold novel. Elke is a colorful mercenary bodyguard with a love for explosions. My review is forthcoming. You can read my notes on the first book Better to beg Forgivness …. Below is a description of the last book.
The Prescot family were miners. At one time, they were contracted to develop technology for a mineral rich but uninhabitable system. Gradually, all the investors shied away. Then the Prescots broke through with the technology needed to exploit entire planets, and incidentally develop domed playgrounds for the perversely rich, including indoor ski slopes and cable cars over megavolcanos, casinos and rides. This created the economic problem of being the richest people in the universe, having more money than most governments and effectively unlimited resources. Money is a small blessing when enemies are quite willing to spend billions for the chance at trillions. Bryan Prescot and his daughter might as well have targets painted on their backs for the thugs, kidnappers, and assassins their competitors would throw at them. Bodyguards were necessary – highly trained bodyguards who could be bought once and be utterly loyal no matter the circumstances. Caron Prescot has only six bodyguards against an army, but she has two aces in the hole: The miners are on her side, and Elke, Ripple Creek's psychotic demolition expert, has a nuke. The problem with Elke having a nuke is that Elke WILL use it!
Lt. Karen Juniper – Professional Soldier
Book: A New Hope (2010)
Series: 2/4 Cavalry book 1
Universe: Hammer Slammer (David Drake)
Author: Eric Johnson
Genre: Military Science Fiction
Publisher: Amazon kindle
I got this one from Eric himself and read it in one go the other day. A review is forthcoming.
Based off of David Drake's Hammer's Slammers Universe, this chronicles the unit while on contract on New Hope, a Brazilian colony. Lt. Karen Juniper leads A 2/4 Cav through an insurgency campaign through short stories. Some mature content, 18+ only. Note it is slow at the beginning but gets better towards the end. It's a different take on warfare based on real and some other experiences.
Hazel D'Ark – Rebel Pirate
Books: Deathstalker (1995), Deathstalker Rebellion (1996), Deathstalker War (1997), Deathstalker Honor (1998), Deathstalker Destiny (1999)
Series: Deathstalker
Universe: Mistworld
Author: Simon R. Green
Genre: Space Opera
Publisher: Roc, Gollancz, Vista
This is a female new to me and so is Simon. Hazel and Ruby Journey has been recommended to me and I think I have to check out this series. It got an evil decadent Empire lead by the 'Iron Bitch', clones and psionics. What more can a reader ask for?
A once pirate and clonelegger, Hazel met Owen in Virimonde when her escape pod crash-landed. She saved his life, and the two quickly became inseparable. She has a quick temper and even quicker wit, and always holds a special place in her heart for Owen. She has many shady contacts on Mistworld, which come in handy during the early phases of the rebellion. She was forced into the rebellion, but proved vital in the overthrow of Lionstone. The recipient of the strangest abilities of any of the Madness Maze enhances, the ability to summon people from other timelines, Hazel is occasionally accompanied by alternate versions of herself.
Angelina diGriz – Lovely 'Ex'-Psycho
Books: The Stainless Steel Rat for President (1982)
Series: The Stainless Steel Rat
Author: Harry Harrison
Genre: Humorous Science Fiction
Publisher: Nelson Doubleday, Bantam, Sphere, Severn House
I love Harry Harrison and the Stainless Steel rat series. Angelina is the Alpha and Omega of the series. She is a criminal mastermind much like the Rat, only less ethical and more willing to kill. As the Rat's first case for the Special Corps, he tracks Angelina down and ends up falling in love with her. After her capture, she undergoes psycho surgery (not to be mistaken for "psychic surgery") to remove her homicidal tendencies and joins the Corps; during that time she begins a relationship with the Rat that ends with them marrying in the last trimester of her pregnancy. She later assists on many of the Rat's adventures. While she is no longer a heartless killer, her suppressed tendencies occasionally come out, especially when she sees another woman in close proximity to her husband.
The Stainless Steel Rat and Angelina enjoy a belated honeymoon on a planet run by a dictator who rigs elections to get into office, so they set the Rat up as a candidate instead. Very much a satire on banana republic politics and a parody of adventures set in Latin America.
Morgaine- Destroyer of Gates
Books: Gate of Ivrel (1976), Well of Shiuan (1978), Fires of Azeroth (1979), Exile's Gate (1988)
Omnibus: The Morgaine Saga (1-3, 2000)
Series: Morgaine
Universe: Union Alliance
Author: C. J. Cherryh
Genre: Science Fantasy
Publisher: Daw, Orbit, Mandarin
I bought Exile's Gate ages ago. I remember I liked it but I have been waiting on a continuation ever since. And now I studied the three previous books, I think it's time for one of the Omnibus versions.
Morgaine is on a century long quest to destroy a network of gates threatening the causality of the universe. From the beginning they were a task force of one hundred sent out by the Union Science Bureau. There was attrition as time passed and treachery before the novels start leaving her the sole survivor. She has a kick-ass sword named Changeling that she uses to destroy the gates and there is a cool ancient race destroyed by the gates.
Trivia: Gate of Irvel is C. H. Cherryh's first published novel. The third book takes place on Azeroth a name that makes me think of World of Warcraft. Is there any real connection? I had no idea C. S. Lewis also used the name for a deity in The Horse and His Boy (1954).

Not that there was any doubt, but Robert Griffin III is starting Week 1.
Griffin, who has been saying all offseason that he'll be ready to go for the start of the season, will indeed be the starter on Monday, September 9 when the Eagles visit Washington. That's the word from Adam Schefter of ESPN, who reported the widely expected news this morning.
Although he has missed the entire preseason, all indications have been that Griffin made outstanding progress after suffering a torn ACL in Washington's playoff loss to Seattle. Dr. James Andrews compared Griffin's recovery to that of Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, who tore his ACL a year before Griffin and managed not only to return for the 2012 season but to be the league MVP.
The season opener comes just over eight months after Griffin suffered the knee injury on January 6. That's a quick recovery, but Griffin says he's running as well as ever. We'll get to see for ourselves next Monday night.

A year from now Beaufort County student-athletes will be held to a higher academic standard to maintain their sports eligibility.
Bluffton High Athletic Director Dave Adams is starting early to educate Bobcat Nation about the regulations that go into effect in January 2013.
"We've got about a year to get the word out to the kids, the parents and the faculty," Adams said. "Every gathering of parents, like pre-season team meetings or sports banquets, we've been handing out brochures with the information they need to know. The next one will be the spring sports meeting March 1," he said.
"We've got a year to be prepared," said Head Football Coach Ken Cribb. "We know it; the kids know it. It's not like it snuck up on us."
The AD said that starting last fall, "as a trial run," the school sent letters to the parents of students who would not be eligible to participate in sports under the future guidelines.
"The Athletic Participation Policy requires that any student in grades 7-12 who wishes to participate as a member of an interscholastic sports team must have a minimum 'cumulative' GPA of 2.0 (no lower than 77 on the district's 100-point grading scale)," according to the Beaufort County School District.
The district scale is "weighted" in that "a 96 is better than a 94, even if both are an A average," Adams said.
"This refers to the average of all of that student's grades from the previous semester. The student must also maintain the minimum course load required by the SCHSL," the policy states.
The S.C. High School League requires students to "pass" either four or five units, depending on the semester. A passing grade is a D, or a 70 on a 100-point scale.
The new policy may place Beaufort County athletic teams at a disadvantage in competing with other South Carolina schools. Only one other school district, Richland County 1, has adopted a similar policy.
The county school board approved the Athletic Participation Policy in July. District administrators, principals, athletic directors and student representatives began meeting in October to establish guidelines.
"About a month ago the policy was formalized in writing," Adams said.
For winter sports teams at Bluffton, 10 of about 100 athletes would have been ineligible under the new policy, the AD said. Winter sports include boys and girls varsity and junior varsity basketball, wrestling and cheerleading.
"Our winter GPA was exactly a 3.00," he said.
For the state runner-up Bluffton football team, five or six players would have been ineligible in the fall under the new policy, according to Cribb.
The football coach said he worries less about losing good players than the lost opportunity for those who are declared ineligible.
"The kids that might need coaches the most might be left out. There are a lot of ways of looking at this. I just don't believe in giving up on kids," Cribb said.
"We've got so many good student-athletes. They don't study so they can play sports; they study because they've got good character," he said.
"Our affiliation with students teaches respect, discipline and manners. Character comes first, then academics; character will influence academics," Cribb said.
Keeping students eligible for sports "starts at home with the kids and their parents, then at school with their teachers and coaches," he said.
Ultimately, the higher academic standards in high school will help prepare athletes to compete at the college level, both Adams and Cribb said.
"If they're performing on the fields and courts at a college level, they're going to have to perform in the classroom at a college level, too," Adams said. "The better they're prepared academically the more avenues it opens for college scholarships beyond athletics."
Some highlights of the Beaufort County School District guidelines include:
• Reinstatement: "A student who is ineligible at the end of a semester will remain ineligible for participation for the entire next semester until he or she meets both district and SCHSL requirements. Even if a student has improved grades during the ineligible semester, he or she must still wait until the next semester to participate."
• Transfers: "Out-of-district transfer students with a GPA less than 2.0 but eligible according to SCHSL policy will be eligible to participate on probation for one semester. Thereafter he or she must meet the district's 2.0 GPA/77 grade average eligibility requirement."
• Summer school: "For high school students, a maximum of two credits earned in a State Department of Education-approved summer school may apply toward first-semester eligibility."
• Notification: "Schools have procedures to notify parents at the end of each semester of their child's status. Particularly important is that schools notify parents at the end of the school year that their child will be ineligible to participate the next semester (Fall Semester, August-December), and would need to pass the appropriate courses in summer school to be eligible."

Car crashes into probation office during rehab
By Ap
POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) — A car crashed into an Idaho probation office building and injured five men, including four who were inside attending a drug and alcohol rehabilitation meeting.
Police in Pocatello say 10 to 15 people were at the meeting at the Bureau of Probation and Parole at 5:20 p.m. Sunday when the car smashed into the building, coming to rest in the meeting room.
Officers say one man was pinned under the car and suffered serious injuries. The driver and three other men suffered minor injuries.
Police say the car was northbound when it crossed the southbound lanes and smashed through a large sign in front of the building before continuing through the parking lot and hitting the building.
Police were still trying to determine why the driver lost control of the car.

The Jazz Studies Area at Hope College will present the last in a series of concerts on Thursday.
Jazz chamber ensembles also performed on Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 18-19. The public is invited. Admission is free.
Performing on both Nov. 18 and 21, the college's jazz chamber ensembles afford students the opportunity to perform in the classic small-group combo setting. The ensembles vary in size and instrumentation, and place a creative focus on improvisation and group communication. All of the ensembles perform works from the classic jazz repertoire. The more advanced jazz chamber ensembles also perform repertoire from the contemporary jazz world. The ensembles also place an emphasis on original student and faculty compositions. All of the ensembles are coached by members of the Hope College jazz faculty.
The ensembles include the Blue Note Ensemble, coached by Steve Talaga, adjunct assistant professor of music; Vanguard Ensemble, coached by Mike VanLente, instructor of jazz percussion; Verve Ensemble, coached by Tom Lockwood, instructor of jazz saxophone; Standards Ensemble, coached by Brian Coyle, professor of music and director of jazz studies; Prestige Ensemble, coached by senior Mike Graverson of Hamilton; and the Concord Ensemble, coached by senior Jared DeMeester of Grand Rapids.
The student vocal jazz concert with the Hope College Faculty Jazz Ensemble on Tuesday, Nov. 19, will feature the singing of six Hope students. The vocal jazz instructor is Edye Hyde.
The Jazz Arts Collective that will be performing with the jazz chamber ensembles on Thursday, Nov. 21, is the premier large jazz ensemble at Hope College. The collective places a creative focus on ensemble communication and improvisation. Comprised of a rhythm section and flexible wind/string instrumentation, this select group performs compositions and arrangements from across the full spectrum of music. The collective's repertoire ranges from the great historical jazz composers such as Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus, to works by modern jazz masters like Vince Mendoza, Jim McNeely and John Hollenbeck. The Jazz Arts Collective frequently performs commissions, works by emerging young composers, and originals by Hope College faculty and students. The ensemble also collectively reinterprets and re-imagines the music from the twentieth century classical repertoire. The directors are Brian Coyle and Rob Hodson, professor of music and chairperson of the department.
Dimnent Memorial Chapel is located at 277 College Ave., on College Avenue at 12th Street. Nykerk Hall of Music is located in the central Hope campus at the former 127 E. 12th Street between College and Columbia avenues.

A vape pen (also known as a vaporizer pen, vapor pen, or pen vaporizer) is a compact, pen-shaped vaporizer used for vaping on-the-go. The vape pen is one of the most popular types of vaporizers, coming in a variety of types from leading vape manufacturers like KandyPens, Dr. Dabber, Atmos, and Cloud Pen. Vapor pens are generally conduction vaporizers, meaning they heat material directly against the heating element. This means a vape pen may not have the kind of vapor purity that a portable vaporizer or desktop vape has, but it is certainly more discreet, easy-to-use, and affordable in most cases.
Most vape pens are for concentrates. If you prefer plant matter, check out our dry herb vaporizers page.
Vape pens generally consist of a mouthpiece, atomizer, and vape battery. Each of the elements of a vape pen can vary from unit to unit. The length and width of a vapor pen mouthpiece decides the resistance level of each hit. Vape pen atomizers feature different materials and designs that affect their vapor production. And vaporizer pen batteries can boast precision or preset temperature, a variety of power capacities, and single or multiple button controls. Assembling a vape pen is easy. Vapor pens generally have standard 510-threaded connections. This makes it simple to replace broken pieces or clean the vape pen.
Users interested in an aromatherapy experience can check out the essential oil diffusers offered from MONQ. Founded by Eric Fishman, MD MONQ aims to restore users depleted terpenes. Terpenes are organic hydrocarbons found in nature, and are said to have various positive effects on mental and physical health, mainly affecting users moods and stress level. Using principles from what is known as "forest bathing", MONQ aims to recreate 'bathing' all of your senses in the experience of being in nature.

Vape pens offer a discreet vaping experience. Ever feel uncomfortable vaping in public? Vaporizer pens ease that pain point by allowing you to vape without drawing attention to your habit. The vape pen is shaped like an office pen, slender and sleek. In fact, vape pens look more like ecigarettes than portable vapes, giving them an incognito quality. Unlike portable vapes, which aren't pen-shaped, the vapor pen won't burden your pocket, and can be concealed almost completely in your hand.
Vape pens also enable you to vape wax concentrates, dry herb, and eliquid on-the-fly. The vapor pen accommodates busy commuter lifestyles and 9-to-5 schedules, as well as casual situations. You can use a vape pen on your lunch break, or simply step outside for a hit. You can also easily pass a vaporizer pen around at a party, or pick it up for a quick toke at home. This is the main difference between vape pens and desktop vapes, which are not portable.
Lastly, vape pens can pack powerful vapor production that defies their small size. Vape pen atomizers with double or triple heating rods create impressively sized clouds of vapor. Vape pen batteries can harness incredible power, and yet unleashing that energy is simple. Just a few clicks, and your vape pen is ready.
Vape pens are slim and stealthy on-the-go devices. For other options, check out the best portable vaporizers .
Vape pens are very simple to operate, generally featuring an easy-to-use single button control. A certain number of clicks will turn the vaporizer pen on or off, a different number of clicks will toggle through vaping temperatures. Loading a vape pen usually involves filling the heating chamber (or the atomizer) with dry herb or wax. E-juice vaporizer pens generally utilize e-liquid cartridges. Every model of pen vaporizer can vary in design, operation, and features.
While portable vaporizers and mod vapes have precision temperature control, most vape pens feature preset vaping temperatures. Vape pens can be optimized for the most popular vaping temperatures, depending on the material the vape pen is designed to vaporize. Most vaporizer pens use lithium-ion batteries, which harness much power in a compact unit. Charging a vape pen is simple as well. Many vaporizer pens feature micro-USB charging so you can power up from almost anywhere like a smartphone.
Vape pens come in three types: Dry herb vape pens, wax pens, and eliquid vapes. Some vape pens are hybrid. There are vaporizer pens for every type of vaping material.
Dry Herb Vape Pen - A dry herb vape pen vaporizes cannabis. Herb vape pens like the Cloud Pen 3.0 vape dry herb and wax with rapid heat up times. The G Slim Snoop Dogg Herbal Vaporizer, designed by Snoop Dogg himself, offers a sleek, urban design and quality herb vaporization at an affordable price for a vape pen. Dry herb vape pens are easy to conceal in your hands and pocket, making for a stealthier session than a pipe or joint.
Wax Pen - A wax pen enables portable vaping of waxy oils. Wax vape pens offer a discreet way to dab on-the-fly. Most wax pens are pen shaped, but device's like the Source Orb 4 utilize powerful mod batteries enabling intensely flavored, large-sized vapor clouds. Vapor pens for wax range from affordable to high-priced depending on the model. Popular wax pens include the KandyPens Gravity, considered one of the best vape pens, and the Cloud Pen Paragon, both of which offer quality wax vaping with sleek designs. A wax vape pen puts the power of a dab rig in your pocket, often at less than half the price.
Eliquid Vape Pen - E-liquid vape pens vaporize a liquid solution containing concentrates from dry herb. Eliquid can contain nicotine, cannabis, or neither--and at varying potency. This is why e-liquid vaporizer pens are helpful in quitting smoking. Smokers may use an ejuice vape pen to wean themselves off nicotine addiction by gradually reducing the nicotine potency of their eliquid cartridges. Major eliquid vape pen brands include Atmos and Vaporite. A vapor pen for eliquid is easier to operate than other ejuice vapes like mods.
Vape pens can feature a variety of atomizers that vaporize material using a heat element, which is usually a rod with coils wrapped around it. The atomizer acts as the vape pen heating chamber, which features a single rod, double rod, triple rod, or a bucket-like coilless design. Vaporizer pen atomizers can heat up rapidly, which is ideal for vaping on-the-go. To load a pen vaporizer, material is dabbed into the chamber, where it sits directly on the coils. In other words, most vapor pens are conduction vaporizers, rather than convection units.
While convection vaporizers heat materials with hot air that's blown through the heating chamber, conduction vape pens directly heat the material on the surface of the heating element. Users who value vapor purity over all else should find a portable vaporizer with convection heating, or a desktop vaporizer. Vaporizer pens are better suited for decent hits on-the-fly. That said, vape pen vapor is much purer than the smoke produced by water pipes, joints, and pipes.
When the vape pen is loaded, the user clicks the single button interface, which heats the coil inside the atomizer. Some vape pens have one temperature, others have multiple presets. Most vapor pens have click controls. For example, with many vape pens, five clicks powers the vaporizer pen on and three clicks toggles temperature. Holding the button down heats the vape pen. At that point, the vaporizer pen coil heats materials at a temperature beneath the point of combustion, creating smoother, smokeless hits. Vape pen heat up time is usually under a minute.
Single Coil - Creates smaller, flavorful hits. Less surface area produces less vapor. Single rod vape pens are for flavor lovers.
Triple Coil - For cloud chasers and dabbers. Triple rod vape pens create lung-busting hits. A triple coil vape pen is rare to find.
Quartz Rod - Vape pens with quartz rod atomizers produce exceptionally flavorful vapor. Quartz doesn't rub off on the taste of vapor, which is why fans of "true vapor" prefer quartz rod vape pens.
Double Coil - Expect larger clouds of lung-expanding vapor. Double rod vape pens pack more surface area on which materials are heated, doubling the size of your vapor clouds.
Coil-less - Coilless atomizers do away with coils altogether. Coil-less vape pens feature bucket-shaped atomizers. Material is heated more efficiently this way, making for smoother, tastier vapor. Cleaning is also easier with coil-less atomizers.
Ceramic Rod - Like quartz, ceramic is inert, so it doesn't affect the flavor and aroma of vapor. Vape pens with ceramic rods heat materials slowly and lowly, so little combustion occurs. Expect comfortable, delicious vapor.
Every vape pen has a little something different to offer. When buying a vape pen, ask yourself the following questions:
Consider your lifestyle. If you're always on the run, you'll want a smaller vape pen. Compact vape pens are easy to conceal in your hand or pocket, making for a stealthier vaping experience when you're in public. If you're relaxing at home, you can opt for a bigger vaporizer pen if you'd like. The bigger the vape pen, the stronger its battery and heating system.
Vape pens drop. Vape batteries die out. It's the nature of the vaporizer world. Finding a vape pen with a warranty ensures you'll get a replacement vape if something goes wrong. Generally, the length of the vape pen warranty is telling. The longer the warranty, the more confidence the manufacturer has in their vape pen. Opt for a vape pen with a longer warranty if it's in the budget.
The typical vape pen ranges from $30 to $100. But vapor pens can get cheaper or pricier depending on what you're looking for. In the vaporizer world, price is pretty much indicative of quality. So the more you pay for a vaporizer pen, the more value you can expect. Keep in mind, cheaper vape pens may not hurt your wallet, but they might not last as long as a pricier vaporizer.
The life force of a vape pen is its battery, so it's important to make sure your vape pen has a strong one. Expensive vape pens usually last longer without having to be charged. Cheaper vaporizer pens might need to be charged through the day. Most vape pens can be charged via USB, and some feature pass-through charging that enables you to vape while you charge.
