MEAD -- A pilot and his passenger escaped injury Saturday morning after having to bring their small plane to a hard emergency landing in a dirt farm field southwest of Mead.
Brian Garrett, 43, of Westminster, was undergoing a private pilot's certification examination just before noon conducted by Drew Chitiea, an FAA-designated pilot examiner when the propeller on the single-engine airplane lost one of its three blades, forcing them to find a landing spot and eventually glide into the field of a farm at 14480 Weld County Road 5.
By the time the plane landed and came to a halt, a second propeller blade also had sheared off, but the plane appeared to be otherwise undamaged, and both Garrett and Chitiea were not injured.
The pair had made a "May Day" call on an emergency radio frequency before landing -- a call Chitiea later learned was heard by a Delta passenger airliner in flight as well as a ground station in Denver -- although local authorities were initially uncertain about where the plane had landed. Members of the Longmont Police Department, the Boulder County Sheriff's Office and Mountain View Fire Rescue checked out locations that included Jim Hamm Nature Area and Union Reservoir east of Longmont before discovering the aircraft had come down in the rural Weld County field and that the incident was in the jurisdiction of that county's sheriff.
Garrett, an internet technology technician, is a part owner of the plane, a Sting Sport TL-2000 light sport aircraft, and he said he's been flying for about 2 1/2 years as a certified sport pilot. Garrett was getting his final exam for the private pilot's certification level when the first propeller blade separated. Chitiea said it happened when the plane was about half a mile above the ground.
He and Chitiea had started Saturday's flight from Erie's municipal airport and were scheduled to eventually return there when the problem occurred.
"The engine started getting really rough, and all of a sudden it got really quiet," Garrett said.
"We knew it was a bad situation," Chitiea said.
Chitiea said, though that such potential emergencies, and the maneuvers that must be followed if they do happen, are part of every pilot's training. He said that in this case, that included setting up a glide speed, looking for a suitable landing area that wouldn't endanger them or anyone from the public, and circling that area two or three times before finally avoiding power lines to come to "a pretty fast stop."
"This is an exercise that every pilot, from virtually Day 1 of their training, has practiced for," Chitiea said. "This was an actual event where the training kicked in."
Garrett said, "I never thought I was going to have to do this." But he joked that "I guess if you're going to have an emergency, bring somebody from the FAA along with you."
Chitiea said Garrett "is the one who flew the airplane and did all the work."
Once they were on the ground, Chitiea said Garrett had "demonstrated his competency," and he told the pilot he'd passed the final exam.

Gibson Chrome Exhaust Headers GP214
- Dyno-tested to ensure maximum horsepower and torque gains
- Each header is designed to be an exact replacement for the factory manifold
- Direct-fit, bolt-on design makes for an easy installation
- Mandrel-bent tubing allows for optimum air flow and maximum power gains
- Gibson Exhaust uses 3/8" thick laser cut ports to prevent warping and leaking
- Includes any air injection & oxygen sensor fittings needed, along with premium gaskets and all necessary hardware
- Backed by Gibson's lifetime warranty
- 50 state legal
- Doesn't void warranty
- Made in the USA - Corona, CA
Power isn't simply created, and maximizing your engine output is not a one-and-done project. So, when you're supping up your engine, don't forget about adding a set of Gibson Performance exhaust headers. Let that engine breathe, let that engine growl, and give it Gibson power.
Gibson headers are dyno-tuned, ensuring increased performance with each set. These bad boys are engineered to create more usable horsepower and torque during low and mid-range RPMs. How do they work? Same principle as the Gibson exhausts (which go great with these headers). Allowing for the engine to more easily move exhaust allows for a lower operating temperature, which in turn allows for more air into the engine.
Gibson engineers their performance headers as direct replacements for the factory manifolds, retaining the crossover pipe and all 50 state legal emissions equipment. Gibson performance Headers are available in 3 finishes - 14ga chrome plated steel, 409 stainless steel, or ceramic coated. Gibson Exhaust also provides air injection and oxygen sensor fittings. Gibson headers are backed by a lifetime warranty.
Get a set of Gibson Performance exhaust headers. Your engine will thank you – seriously.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
Gibson Performance backs all of their exhaust systems and accessories including the Performance Exhaust Headers with a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials or workmanship.
Gibson Performance exhaust headers offer a direct-fit, bolt-on installation, making installation a snap. Installation instructions are included with every order, and are also available on our site. You got questions - RealTruck has answers. Give us a call at 877-216-5446 7 days a week.

Biodiversity Pro : Free Statistics Software for Ecology
Entry ID: NHML_Biopro
Abstract: BioDiversity Pro was designed and developed by Neil McAleece. This package was devised jointly by P.J.D. Lambshead and G.L.J. Paterson of the The Natural History Museum in London and J.D. Gage of the Scottish Association for Marine Science, Oban, Scotland.The program will calculate automatically, using only the selected samples and the current program options. When the calculation is finished, a ... graph and results spreadsheet will pop-up (according to the user options) showing the results of the calculation.
There are four types of calculation to be performed, as noted below:
1) Alpha : Defined by Whittaker as local diversity, used here for calculations based on single samples, also
known as univariate diversity measures.
a) Abundance Plot: K-Dominance > Rank
b) Abundance Model: Log-Series > Broken Stick c) Rarefaction d) Diversity
Indices: Shannon > Alpha > Caswell > Berger-Parker > Simpson > Hill > Margalef > McIntosh
2) Beta : SHE Analysis > Species Richness > Species Distribution
3) Multivariate: Simultaneous analysis of more than one independent variable. Used here for ordination and clustering techniques. These are powerful descriptive methods which can suggest correlations between biodiversity patterns and potential causes but cannot resolve cause and effect. In particular, the user is warned that is uncomfortably easy to fall into circular reasoning (groups defined by the method are justified as 'real' because the method has defined them). Where a signal in the data is strong then all the methods will tend to give similar results. Where the signal is weak, or a multiplicity of signals confuses the issue, different methods may give alternative results. It is therefore worth trying more than one technique or optimisation. Principal Components > Correspondence Analysis > Cluster Analysis > Non-Metric MDS
4) Comparisons: Simple comparisons of the data
including statistical tests. Descriptive Statistics > Kulczynski >
Mann-Whitney > Rank Correlation > Correlation > Variance-Covariance > ANOSIM.

Friday, 23 May 2014 07:03 PM
Federal officials are investigating an incident in which two United Airlines planes may have flown too close to each other over Houston.
The close call happened after both planes took off from Bush Intercontinental Airport on the night of May 9.
The two jets came within less than a mile of each other and 400 feet apart in height, Federal Aviation Administration FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford said Friday. Normally planes would be separated by at least three miles in distance and 1,000 feet in altitude.
An air traffic controller told the pilot of United Flight 601 to turn right after takeoff, then realized that the plane was heading into airspace normally reserved for planes on another runway. United Flight 437 had just taken off from that second runway, and the controller gave both pilots instructions to keep the planes apart, Lunsford said.
Lunsford said the FAA has taken steps to prevent similar events in the future.
Jennifer Dohm, a spokeswoman for United Continental Holdings Inc., said both United planes "were operating in compliance with their air-traffic clearances." She declined to comment further.
According to the FAA, both planes were Airbus A320 jets. One had 120 passengers and a crew of five, while the other had 95 passengers and five crew members.
An even closer call occurred last month at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, prompting the FAA to change procedures for takeoffs and landings at the airport near New York City.
In that incident, a United Airlines jet that was landing and a smaller United Express jet taking off in the opposite direction came within about 200 feet in distance and 400 feet vertically of each other. The pilot of the smaller plane said that the United jet came "real close."

Leavenworth city commissioners have talked a lot recently about making spending cuts as they've reviewed the proposed 2014 budget. This week, they also talked about increasing the revenue the city receives from natural gas franchise fees.
Leavenworth city commissioners have talked a lot recently about making spending cuts as they've reviewed the proposed 2014 budget. This week, they also talked about increasing the revenue the city receives from natural gas franchise fees.
But this revenue increase could mean additional costs for some commercial natural gas customers in the city. The change would result from the renewal of a franchise agreement between the city and Kansas Gas Service.
Commissioners eventually will have to approve an ordinance to renew the agreement. But they reached a consensus Tuesday regarding what fees they want included in the agreement.
According to City Clerk Karen Logan, the renewal initially would increase the money the city receives by an estimated $14,000 per year by expanding the number of customers who pay a 5 percent franchise fee. Later on, the revenue would increase by an additional $40,000 per year because commercial customers who purchase natural gas from third parties would be charged an additional fee.
The ordinance, if approved, will grant Kansas Gas Service a franchise, allowing the company to continue its operations in the city of Leavenworth. The new agreement would go into effect Nov. 1.
Under the terms of the existing agreement, which was implemented in 2003, customers in the city who purchase their natural gas from Kansas Gas Service are charged a 5 percent franchise fee based on gross cash receipts, and the money is turned over to the municipal government. But customers in the city who purchase natural gas from third parties haven't been faced with this 5 percent charge.
"They weren't paying any franchise fee," she said.
Logan said this would have been addressed by a second ordinance. But such an ordinance apparently was never adopted in 2003.
Logan said there are currently about 25 entities in the city that purchase natural gas from third parities. And the city of Leavenworth is one of them. The city purchases natural gas this way because it can receive a better rate.
In the case of these 25 organizations, the gas is still transported through Kansas Gas Service lines.
Logan said the new agreement could extend the 5 percent fee for gross cash receipts to all customers, even those who purchase natural gas from third parties.
The organizations that purchase natural gas through third parties also can be charged an additional fee based on the volume of gas transported through the lines.
Commissioners supported implementing this additional fee, but it will be phased in. Logan said the customers that currently pay no franchise fee initially will be charged the 5 percent fee that residential customers already are paying. Beginning Nov. 1, 2014, the 25 customers who purchase natural gas from third parties will be charged an additional volumetric rate of 3 percent. The volumetric rate will increase to 4 percent a year later. The volumetric rate then will reach its peak of 5 percent in November 2015.
Logan said residential customers in the city who already are paying the 5 percent franchise fee shouldn't see any rate increase as a result of the renewal of the agreement.

The Kayla Gilbert Foundation will host their fourth annual Motorcycle Run this Sunday, Aug. 4, at Dan's Place at 880 Victory Highway in West Greenwich. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. and kick stands up at 11 a.m.
There is a $25 donation per participant. The event also includes a steak fry, live music from Zink Alloy and raffles.
All proceeds from the event will go to The Kayla Gilbert Foundation to provide treatment and medications for 26-year-old Warwick native Kayla Gilbert, who currently resides in North Carolina, recovering from a double living donor transplant she received in January. Gilbert is being treated and monitored at Duke University Medical Center.
"Even if you don't have a motorcycle, come and enjoy the fun," said Karen Boschetti, Gilbert's mother.
A rain date is scheduled for Aug. 11.
Gilbert was the subject of a May 14 Beacon article entitled "Resident needs support after life-saving lung transplant."

Texas Governor Blocks Reporters He Doesn't Like From Reading His Tweets
from the unclear-on-the-concept dept
- It won't actually stop them from reading his account. The "block" functionality is pretty simplistic. You're really only blocked if you're logged in, so a "blocked" reporter can simply log out and look directly at the account or just get someone else who can follow the feed to pass along, or even retweet the messages. So it doesn't really block the reporters from following Governor Perry.
- All it really does is call much more attention to the fact that Governor Perry apparently has a really thin skin around certain reporters -- perhaps not the sort of message he really should be giving out.

Notifications are not part of my domain
At one of the geocaching events I attended this summer, someone asked me if I intentionally send email and mobile notifications about newly published geocaches to certain people first. The implication was that I keep a "friends" list and those who are on it get first dibs at being FTF for new caches. I assured the questioner that not only do I NOT give first notice to a list of friends, I have no control at all over email and mobile notifications. That's all up to the inner workings of the geocaching.com website, once you set your account to receive notifications. I was glad this person asked the question. It made me think they might have been holding a grudge against me for quite some time. Well, for all I know, maybe they still do. :o)

Lol. That's kind of funny how people assume that! I think a lot of times people don't realize that if someone gets the notification on their phone, and they are already out and about - they are most likely going to get there first. I think it happens more and more as people upgrade to droid and iphone...

Jesus' ongoing controversy with the Pharisees heats up in today's Gospel. Some of his disciples were eating their meals without washing their hands, and the Pharisees objected to this. The disciples violated the tradition of the elders, they maintained.
Jesus is sharp with them, quoting Isaiah: "In vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines mere human precepts." The first reading, from the Book of Deuteronomy, would surely support the Lord. Moses proclaims, "In your observance of the commandments of the Lord, your God, which I enjoin upon you, you shall not add to what I command you nor subtract from it."
Not included in today's Gospel reading is the example of qorban that Jesus gives. Qorban was a practice of dedicating something to the temple. Jesus points out that one could renege even on the support one owed one's parents by dedicating it to the temple, thereby disregarding God's command. This would be an instance of both adding to and subtracting from the law.
Jesus has a case. The law of Moses nowhere demands washing for ordinary meals, providing one was not compromised by an "unclean" object (Lv 15:11). We might ask ourselves: How could washing undermine a law of God? It certainly would not. Jesus is clearly using the controversy to discuss how we can lose ourselves in traditions and rules while ignoring what really matters.
The big question at hand is, what does it mean to live a holy life under the law of God? But answers are not so easy. The law tells us to keep holy the Sabbath day. Pretty vague stuff. The Talmud, a Jewish compendium that wrestled with how to interpret the law, needed two whole tractates (260 pages) to wrestle with how this command ought to be lived out.
The Pharisees in Jesus' day strove to live such a devout life that they imitated the ritual purity that priests themselves needed at the temple. In their religious imagination, all Jews could or should live as a priestly people: "You shall be to me a kingdom of priests, a holy nation" (Ex 19:6). The Pharisees might frame their posture as being particularly zealous in their faith and the law. What could be wrong with that?
It is clear in the Gospels that such a seemingly devout posture actually took a toll on the common people, whose ordinary lifestyle made it impossible for them to attain that level of observance. "Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You lock the kingdom of heaven before human beings. You do not enter yourselves, nor do you allow entrance to those trying to enter" (Mt 23:13).
In both this passge and in our Gospel reading today, Jesus calls the Pharisees hypocrites. The term is revealing. It means "pretender," from the verb used in Greek drama for "playing a part." It is simply the case that for some people intense devotion and commitment can, ironically, result in moral rigidity and an obtuse spirit. One looks devout, but without interior transformation one is really just a pretender playing a religious role.
We can think of Inspector Javert, the evil (or is he tragic?) inspector in Victor Hugo's classic novel, Les Miserables. His commitment to the law produced extraordinary inflexibility and cruelty. He was not interested in the common good, which is the very purpose of law. His life is contrasted with that of the hero, Jean Valjean, who had broken the law several times but devoted his life to kindness and generosity.
In the Gospel, Jesus was not interested in canceling laws, whether ritual or otherwise. Nor is there any evidence that he dismissed his religious culture that practiced additional pious expressions of it. But he did regularly criticize misuse of laws, particularly when they were advanced on the backs of those least able to adhere to them.
We would do well to keep the premiere question always before us: What does it mean to live a holy life? And we would additionally do well to embrace the often-repeated dictum: In essentials, unity; in nonessentials, liberty; in all things charity.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Windy conditions on Briggs Field Friday could not stop the MIT and WPI Engineers from contesting two exciting softball games. The result was a pair of 7-6 finals, with each team capturing a victory and both games going to an extra eighth inning.
MIT captured its first victory of the season in the first game of the doubleheader, the opening action for each team in the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC). Third baseman Jessica Oleinik hit a ground rule double in the bottom of the eighth to bring in two runs and center fielder Keri Dixon singled her in to win the game in walk off fashion for the home Engineers.
The teams headed to extra innings tied at three, but MIT found itself behind after giving up three runs in the top of the eighth. In their half of the inning, they loaded the bases before Nydia Ruleman scored on a wild pitch. WPI was able to get two out but Oleinik and Dixon came through in the clutch.
The hosts grabbed the lead in the first inning with an unearned run, but WPI leveled the score in the third and scored a pair in the fourth to grab the lead. Katherine Fitton tripled then scored on a single by right field Kim Martilla, who would come in later on a bases loaded walk. WPI held their lead until MIT scored a run in the sixth and tied the game in the seventh on first baseman Michelle Dion's double, sending it to extra frames.
Catcher Emily Creedon had three hits on the afternoon, while Dion, Dixon and Bensey Schnip added two hits apiece. Martilla led the visitors with three hits in the first game. Erin Flaherty pitched an inning and two-thirds in relief of starter Allie Hardy and took the loss for WPI, while Tech's Jessica Iacobucci pitched all eight innings to pick up the win.
In the second game, the teams were all-square at 4 heading into extra frames and again WPI put up a big number in the top of the eighth. Iacobucci, pitching in relief of Oleinik, struck out two WPI batters, but allowed a triple down the left field line and then an inside the park homerun by third baseman Maddie Willer to give the visitors a three-run advantage. Willer and center fielder Nicole McDonough, who had four hits in the game, each drove in two runs and scored once themselves.
The hosts attempted a comeback in the bottom of the eighth, beginning with an RBI single by Creedon. With two outs, Oleinik singled home Katie Harrington, one of her three hits in the game, but WPI reliever Christa Coscia got Dixon to pop out to shortstop, ending the MIT comeback threat.
Coscia pitched three and two thirds innings in relief of Flaherty, the starter and allowed two runs on four hits. Oleinik started the game for Tech and allowed four runs on nine hits. She and Iacobucci, who took the loss, each struck out five batters in the second game.
MIT, now 1-2 on the season, will leave tomorrow for their Spring Trip to Orlando, Florida. WPI is 7-5, having just returned from their trip to Florida, and will host Anna Maria in a doubleheader tomorrow.

Holy Shades of the Living Dead, Bat Woman!
Yes, Dildohead, it's true. These people actually thought there were such things as succubuses and incubuses and haunted souls that came out of the grave at night craving human blood and flesh. Bwwwwaaahhhhaaaaahhhaaaaa!
Geez, Bat Woman, you give me the creepoids when you laugh like that!
Just so, Dildohead, just so. Let's go, we've got a crime to solve...
The Great New England Vampire Panic
Two hundred years after the Salem witch trials, farmers became convinced that their relatives were returning from the grave to feed on the living
- By Abigail Tucker
- Smithsonian magazine, October 2012
Children playing near a hillside gravel mine found the first graves. One ran home to tell his mother, who was skeptical at first—until the boy produced a skull.
Because this was Griswold, Connecticut, in 1990, police initially thought the burials might be the work of a local serial killer named Michael Ross, and they taped off the area as a crime scene. But the brown, decaying bones turned out to be more than a century old. The Connecticut state archaeologist, Nick Bellantoni, soon determined that the hillside contained a colonial-era farm cemetery. New England is full of such unmarked family plots, and the 29 burials were typical of the 1700s and early 1800s: The dead, many of them children, were laid to rest in thrifty Yankee style, in simple wood coffins, without jewelry or even much clothing, their arms resting by their sides or crossed over their chests.
Except, that is, for Burial Number 4.
Bellantoni was interested in the grave even before the excavation began. It was one of only two stone crypts in the cemetery, and it was partially visible from the mine face.
Scraping away soil with flat-edged shovels, and then brushes and bamboo picks, the archaeologist and his team worked through several feet of earth before reaching the top of the crypt. When Bellantoni lifted the first of the large, flat rocks that formed the roof, he uncovered the remains of a red-painted coffin and a pair of skeletal feet. They lay, he remembers, "in perfect anatomical position." But when he raised the next stone, Bellantoni saw that the rest of the individual "had been completely...rearranged." The skeleton had been beheaded; skull and thighbones rested atop the ribs and vertebrae. "It looked like a skull-and-crossbones motif, a Jolly Roger. I'd never seen anything like it," Bellantoni recalls.
Subsequent analysis showed that the beheading, along with other injuries, including rib fractures, occurred roughly five years after death. Somebody had also smashed the coffin.
The other skeletons in the gravel hillside were packaged for reburial, but not "J.B.," as the 50ish male skeleton from the 1830s came to be called, because of the initials spelled out in brass tacks on his coffin lid. He was shipped to the National Museum of Health and Medicine, in Washington, D.C., for further study. Meanwhile, Bellantoni started networking. He invited archaeologists and historians to tour the excavation, soliciting theories. Simple vandalism seemed unlikely, as did robbery, because of the lack of valuables at the site.
Finally, one colleague asked: "Ever heard of the Jewett City vampires?"
In 1854, in neighboring Jewett City, Connecticut, townspeople had exhumed several corpses suspected to be vampires that were rising from their graves to kill the living. A few newspaper accounts of these events survived. Had the Griswold grave been desecrated for the same reason?
In the course of his far-flung research, Bellantoni placed a serendipitous phone call to Michael Bell, a Rhode Island folklorist, who had devoted much of the previous decade to studying New England vampire exhumations. The Griswold case occurred at roughly the same time as the other incidents Bell had investigated. And the setting was right: Griswold was rural, agrarian and bordering southern Rhode Island, where multiple exhumations had occurred. Many of the other "vampires," like J.B., had been disinterred, grotesquely tampered with and reburied.
In light of the tales Bell told of violated corpses, even the posthumous rib fractures began to make sense. J.B.'s accusers had likely rummaged around in his chest cavity, hoping to remove, and perhaps to burn, his heart. ...

Keese earns first A-Sun Player of the Week award for 2008 season
Feb. 11, 2008
Lipscomb's Abby Keese hit .500 for the week and hit three home runs in 12 at bats as the Bisons opened the season at Georgia State First Pitch Classic to earn the Atlantic Sun Conference's Player of the Week award, her second career award.
Keese, Lipscomb's sophomore shortstop, hit home runs in three of the Bisons' four games last week.
Keese, a Denver native, played a key role in their upset of No. 17 Georgia Tech. She went 3-for-3 at the plate and delivered the game-winning, three-run home run in the sixth inning.
She finished with four RBI in the contest. As a freshman last season, she finished in a tie for third in the conference with 14 home runs and earned a spot on the All-Freshman team

A Drink to Keep Warm: A Dangerous Falsehood
NASHVILLE – Some who play or work in the cold believe a sip of alcohol will help keep them warm. But the Tennessee Department of Health is reminding Tennesseans that drinking alcohol in any quantity can actually expose a person to greater risk of hypothermia, the potentially fatal condition of abnormally low core body temperature.
"When a person drinks alcohol, blood flow to the skin increases, producing a feeling of temporary warmth," said TDH Chief Medical Officer David Reagan, MD, PhD. "That's dangerous because the body's normal reaction to cold is to move blood in the opposite direction, from the skin to our body core, to protect vital organs. The increased blood in the skin after drinking alcohol causes our bodies to lose heat more rapidly, increasing the possibility of life-threatening hypothermia."
The early symptoms of hypothermia - being confused, sleepy, apathetic, delirious or clumsy - can be mistaken for having consumed too much alcohol. Some people may not recognize what is happening and may not be able to think clearly and seek warm shelter because these changes may occur slowly.
Hypothermia occurs when the body's core temperature falls below 95 degrees Fahrenheit, just less than the normal 98.6 degrees F for most people. As this happens, a person can slip into a coma and the heart and respiratory system can fail.
"If you suspect someone has hypothermia, proper treatment should begin quickly," Reagan said. "Severe hypothermia demands professional medical attention, so it's important to call 911 for help. Mild hypothermia requires fluids to replace those lost as the body tries to warm itself, increased physical activity, dry clothes and food and shelter in a warm place. Drinks with caffeine should be avoided, as they cause the body to lose fluids. Similarly, tobacco products should also not be used, as they cause blood vessels to restrict, increasing the risk of frostbite."
The Tennessee Department of Health suggests avoiding alcohol, dressing in layers, changing out of wet clothes and limiting time outdoors to avoid hypothermia. Adopting a "buddy" system is also recommended so friends can check on one another often to look for signs of cold weather health problems.
Approximately 800 people die annually in the United States from hypothermia and many more visit emergency rooms to be treated for cold weather-related injuries and illnesses. In 2010, nearly 40 Tennesseans either visited the emergency room or stayed in a hospital due to health problems caused by the mixture of cold and alcohol.
The mission of the Tennessee Department of Health is to protect, promote and improve the health and prosperity of people in Tennessee. For more information about TDH services and programs, visit http://health.state.tn.us/.

New year, new series. January sees the launch in the UK of RIVA, a brand new look for romance fiction with a line up of great authors of the "Modern Heat" and "Romance" and as you'd expect from them the result is...
My debut book for the series, "Tempted By Trouble" - the one formally known as "Scoop!" - won't be published until June, but in the next couple of weeks I'll be introducing you to the four launch authors and giving them a chance to tell you about their books. And for you to win a copy of each of their books for yourself.
First up is Kelly Hunter, whose book WITH THIS FLING I'm reading at the moment and I'm suffering author envy over her heroine, Charlotte and as for Grey, well, you're going to have the read the book yourself to check out his appeal. Here's the back blurb...
"With this fling… Successful archaeologist Charlotte Greenstone has no time for men, so invents a convenient one – who bears a highly inconvenient resemblance to sexy stranger Greyson Tyler! To protect her mortifying white lie, Charlotte begs Grey to act as her temporary fiancé… I thee bed? One glimpse of Charlotte's killer curves, and Grey can't resist making his own outrageous proposition – he'll pretend to be her fiancé…if they can enjoy all the benefits of being a couple! Smoking hot Grey is definitely fling material, but Charlotte knows that's all it ever can be… Can't it?"
And here's Kelly herself, on the subject of inspiration.
The spear made me do it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Inspiration for writing With This Fling... started with a ceremonial spear from Papua New Guinea and a burning desire to write a back-from-the-dead hero. Not a tortured back-from-the-dead hero, mind. A confident, hungry, sexy adventurous one - as per Riva hero guidelines.
As for the spear, it lived in the farm shed - a relic from a long ago trip my husband had made up PNG's Sepik river. The spear (and the dogs) went everywhere with me for days. The dogs favoured the tennis ball and the neighbours probably favoured a straightjacket but I had found my muse and the beginnings of an idea.
What if my erstwhile heroine had invented a fake fiance and then killed him off when he was no longer needed?
What if he - or someone very like him - then turned up in her neighbourhood and everyone thought he was her back-from-the-dead fiance? Nothing tortured about that. Plenty of room for a light touch - especially if our girl's fictional fiance had been a paragon of manly perfection and our fake back-from-the-dead hero clearly... wasn't.
If you're still reading this - which probably means you don't mind a bit of batty on the side - here's a taste of the kind of conversation you can expect if you tell a basketful of lies about a fake dead fiance. Charlotte is our reality challenged heroine. Gil is her dead fictional fiance. Millie is a friend from work. Derek is Millie's friend.
'The crispy pork does not sound good,' said Millie. 'Have the beef. Or the duck. No mistaking duck for anything but duck.' Millie's face disappeared behind her menu. 'Remember what I told you about the long pig incident,' she muttered to Derek as quietly as she could, which wasn't nearly quietly enough.
Derek slid Charlotte a lightning glance and promptly disappeared behind his menu too. 'Where's the duck?' he said.
'Halfway down the specials list,' murmured Millie. 'Have it braised.'
'Why not barbecued?' Derek whispered back. 'You're just assuming he was barbecued. They could have braised him. They could have boiled him.'
'You're right,' muttered Millie. 'Order the vegetable combo.'
At which point Charlotte reached across the table and pulled Millie's menu down past eye level. 'Psst.'
'What?' Millie eyed her warily.
'Millie, let the poor man eat pork. I don't care if he wants it crucified, I promise I won't see it as a metaphor for him eating Gil.'
Derek's menu dipped slowly. Derek's eyes appeared, followed by a nose, very nice cheekbones, and a wide wry smile.
'I knew she was saner than you,' Derek told Millie and barely winced when Millie's menu clipped his shoulder. They were very broad shoulders. Millie might just have to keep this one.
'So what was he like?' asked Derek. 'Your fiancé.'
'He's hard to define, but if I had to sum him up I'd probably go with useful,' said Charlotte. Nothing but the truth.
'Useful as in "Honey could you fix the hot water system?"' asked Millie.
'I'm sure he could have fixed the hot water system,' said Charlotte. 'Had it needed fixing.'
'Can't every one?' countered Derek.
'Sadly, no,' said Charlotte.
'I daresay Gil was modest too,' said Millie, glancing pointedly at Derek.
'What?' said Derek. 'I can be modest.'
'Of course you can,' murmured Charlotte, eyeing Derek's frayed shirt collar and shaggy hair speculatively. 'Gil was a snappy dresser too, in a rustic, ready for anything kind of way.'
'Window dressing,' said Derek. 'It's the body beneath the clothes that counts and don't either of you try and tell me different.'
'Wouldn't dream of it,' said Charlotte. 'But just for your information, that was superb too.'
'Well, it would be,' said Millie. 'What with all that paddling up the river. I bet the man had fabulous upper body definition.'
'I was a lumberjack once,' said Derek.
'Of course you were,' murmured Millie consolingly.
A youthful waitress stepped up to their table, smile at the ready as she asked them if they were ready to order.
'I'll have the pork,' said Derek. 'But could I have it beaten first?'
'Chef runs it through a tenderiser,' said the waitress. 'You know – one of those old fashioned washing machine wringer things with the spikes?'
'Perfect,' said Derek.
'Unlike some things around here,' murmured Millie.
'No man is perfect,' said Derek. 'Especially in the eyes of women. A determined woman can turn even a man's good qualities into major flaws of character given time and motive, and half the time the motive is optional. It's just something you do.'
'There's got to be an ex wife in your past somewhere,' murmured Charlotte. 'C'mon, Derek. Spill.'
'Maybe an overcritical mother,' said Millie.
'I'm an orphan,' said Derek. 'Never knew my parents. Never got adopted. Ugliest baby in the world, according to Sister Ramona.'
'That explains a lot,' murmured Millie. 'Though it doesn't explain how you got to be quite so handsome now. In a craggy, hard-living kind of way.'
'Thank you,' said Derek blandly.
'You're welcome.'
They finished ordering their meals. They started in on their drinks.
'Here's to the wonderful Aurora Herschoval,' said Charlotte. 'The best godmother an orphan could have.'
'Hear hear,' said Derek. 'Good for you. And here's to Useful Gil. May he be blessed with more brains in his next life.'
'Derek!' said Millie, aghast. 'We can't toast to that.'
'Why not?' said Derek, aiming for an expression of craggy, hard-lived innocence. 'Sweetie, he may have been handy, handsome, modest, and built like Apollo but let's be honest here… the man got eaten.'

(Don't forget to come back and check if you've won - or subscribe to my blog by email - the link is at the top of the sidebar- so you won't miss Jessica Hart, Nicola Marsh and Kimberley Lang, who'll be my guests in the next couple of weeks.)

Bisons, ETSU game resumes at 12:30
After a 45-minute weather delay the game between Lipscomb and ETSU started at Melching Field at Conrad Park in DeLand, Fla., Saturday morning, but was quickly called for another weather delay.
Lipscomb pitcher Rex Brothers pitched a scoreless first inning with one strikeout and two fly outs to left field. M.L. WIlliams grounded out to third to lead off the first for the Bisons. The game has been delayed.
The game is scheduled to resume at 12:30.
The water is so deep on the infield that Lipscomb relief pitcher Kyle Tognazzini pulled a chair up behind third base and used a make-shift fishing rod to attempt to catch a fish.
Please follow the web site for updates on the rest of the day as the Atlantic Sun Championships continue.

Tech Companies Deny Letting NSA Have Realtime Access To Their Servers, But Choose Their Words Carefully
from the worth-watching dept
Note the fine distinction. Giving the NSA a clone of their data wouldn't be giving them "access to our servers." It would be giving copies to the NSA... and then the NSA could "access" its own servers. And you were wondering why the NSA needed so much space in Utah. If they're basically running a replica of every major big tech company datacenter, it suddenly makes a bit more sense. Of course, at this point there's no evidence that this is necessarily the case -- and some are insisting that the denials are legit, and that the Washington Post's story is not entirely accurate. But... the wording here is extra careful, and the government's report really does seem to indicate that these companies are deeply involved.
Comparing denials from tech companies, a clear pattern emerges: Apple denied ever hearing of the program and notes they "do not provide any government agency with direct access to our servers and any agency requesting customer data must get a court order;" Facebook claimed they "do not provide any government organisation with direct access to Facebook servers;" Google said it "does not have a 'back door' for the government to access private user data"; And Yahoo said they "do not provide the government with direct access to our servers, systems, or network." Most also note that they only release user information as the law compels them to.
But the PRISM program's reported access to data and the now repeatedly confirmed widespread access to phone records and other types of digital data appears to be almost exactly what the 2008 Protect America Act (PAA) allows Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) courts to compel tech companies to do — as many warned around the time of its passage. If tech companies are not providing direct access to their servers but are cooperating with the PRISM program, that leaves at least one other option: Companies are providing intelligence agencies with copies of their data.
By the way, if you'd like to dig in on annotating the various tech companies' denials, someone put them all up at RapGenius, the site for annotating text (not just rap songs).

The beauty of surf music is that it was, is and will always be a cult genre. So it doesn't matter a whit that it isn't huge, because you like it. Better still, the young'uns won't sigh disapprovingly because you like a musician they might also like. Dick Dale isn't some chirpy-voiced moppet, or indie band that looks mopey enough to be models for celebrity mug shots. It's Dick Dale. He's the King of Surf Music and a forebear of heavy metal (because of the extravagant volume levels that he used in his live performances). And get this: he's 74. Foxy grandpa? Maybe. We prefer venerated rocker. Because, though we always admired folks like the late, great Link Wray for touring and bashing away until late in life, Dale's shredding requires speed and dexterity. How amazing was Dale? Fender had to make a special amplifier, because Dale kept blowing up all the other stuff. And he played with guitar strings like telephone cables for his bass-heavy sound. His most famous song is "Misirlou." Yes, you'll know it when you hear it. Dale's giant hit even opened the Quentin Tarantino film "Pulp Fiction." Today, Dale is still shredding, and he's your guilty pleasure. And that's fine. Let's go shredding. 8 p.m. Friday, SPACE, 1245 Chicago Ave., Evanston. $30; 866-468-3401, ticketweb.com
