In many states, incarcerated women give birth while shackled to hospital beds, only to have their newborns taken away mere minutes after entering the world. The state of Indiana, however, is following the lead of six other states, including New York and Ohio, and investing in prison nursery programs. The Indiana program was funded through a $122,000 government grant, reports the AP, and is open to women who have been convicted of non-violent crimes, have less than 18 months left on their prison sentences, and are the legal guardians of their children. According to the AP, the number of incarcerated women has gone from 163,000 in 2000 to 210,000 as of mid-2006, which most attribute to the rising number of women jailed on drug convictions carrying mandatory prison sentences.
The extant prison nursery programs like the one at the Ohio Reformatory for women in Marysville, has seen only 11% of its graduates violate parole, while the recidivism rate among the greater prison population is 30%. The mothers involved aren't just allowed to care for their babies solo, they're also given "courses on postpartum care, child development, shaken baby syndrome and other topics," says the AP.
Kids benefit from the early bonding as well, as many children are born with incarcerated mothers suffer from higher rates of emotional and behavioral disorders. And anyway, newborns have no idea where they are — they can barely focus their wee eyes! It seems ideal to keep them with their mothers, however profligate, in a controlled environment with supervision and education, rather than thrusting them into the foster care system.

If anyone is playing Warcraft (or thinking of it) and likes the idea of a guild with other bloggers, blog-lovers, blog readers, or anyone who can put together a cogent argument about why hybrids should/shouldn't heal in under 5 minutes, there's a new game in town.
Tamarind@ Righteous Orbs (or should I call him the-blogger-who-used-to-be-tamarind, or Kumquat and other orange coloured tropical fruits) has set up a new guild as a hangout on Horde Side of Argent Dawn (EU). It's called Single Abstract Noun, so if you are interested, roll up an alt and ask someone for an invite.
Argent Dawn is also my home server, it's a RP server and also is one of the EU day one servers (ie. it opened on the same day that WoW launched in the EU), so there's a fairly mature community in both senses of the word. I've always rather liked it.
Miss Medicina has also started a US branch of Single Abstract Noun on Argent Dawn US. So good luck with that also, and I'm sure she'd welcome new members who play on the US servers.
Do be aware that if you roll a character on a roleplaying server, you'll be expected to pick a vaguely appropriate name (or rather, inappropriate names are liable to get reported) and although roleplaying isn't compulsory, it's bad form to deliberately trash it.
Whiny Post Day
In another announcement of interest to bloggers around the globe, Klepsacovic is organising World Whiny Post day for March 17th. Mark that date in your diaries, and prepare to get in touch with the blogosphere's emo side. Won't that be fun?
Bonus prize if you can pick something to whine about that NO ONE ELSE IS WHINING ABOUT. And as he so rightly points out, if no one makes any posts, then 18th March can be Whine about the lack of Whiny Posts day.
And although Klepsacovic is a WoW blogger, I'm sure the invitation is open to all.

Environmental Education for Schools and Youth Groups
Active, engaging, fun…that is how children and young adults will experience our education programs for schools and youth groups. Educators, administrators, and youth leaders know that our programs are science-based and designed to meet their needs—tailored to their curriculum, their district requirements, and the standards set forth in the Massachusetts and New Hampshire frameworks for science and technology.
Our professional educators have the flexibility to lead our programs on the school site, at a conservation property near the school, or at other outdoor locations. We teach in-class lessons, such as Wildlife Adaptations or the Water Cycle, and outdoor lessons, such as Tree Circumference, Plant Adaptations, and Maple Sugaring, as well as topics that involve both an indoor and outdoor component.
We can teach a single lesson or a series of lessons, lead a field trip and field study, organize a Service Learning project, or help you develop environmental education curriculum, even one that integrates with other subject areas such as language arts and history. If you review our program offerings and don't see the topic you're interested in, contact us and we can design a new lesson to meet your need.
If your school needs funding assistance, the NRWA may be able to work with your school or district to find financial support through grants or other funding opportunities.

Cardinals plate seven runs in 10th to down Reds
Cincinnati, OH – Matt Holliday hit his fifth career grand slam to cap a seven-run 10th inning as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Reds, 11-4, in the rubber match of a three-game series.
The Reds sent J.J. Hoover (0-5) to the mound in the top of the 10th. Allen Craig walked and David Freese singled to extend his hitting streak to 19 games. Daniel Descalso followed with an RBI double off the wall in left. Jon Jay was intentionally walked to load the bases for pinch-hitter Pete Kozma, who struck out swinging. Matt Carpenter added a two-run single.
Carlos Beltran's infield single filled the bags again. Curtis Partch came in from the bullpen and Holliday crushed his offering into the second deck in left.
"I think every time we play the Reds this year is a big series," Holliday said. "Because ultimately it looks like we're both going to be battling for the division."
Carpenter ended with three RBI for the Cardinals, who have won three of four. Beltran hit a solo homer and knocked in two runs, while Yadier Molina had an RBI.
St. Louis starter Lance Lynn allowed four runs on five hits while striking out six over six innings. Trevor Rosenthal (1-0) tossed two scoreless frames to pick up the win.
Jay Bruce drove in three runs for the Reds, who have lost four of five. Brandon Phillips had an RBI.
Cincinnati starter Bronson Arroyo gave up two runs on six hits over six full frames.
The Reds jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Shin-Soo Choo led off with a double to left and moved to third on a sacrifice bunt. After Joey Votto walked, Phillips hit an RBI single to right. Bruce's sacrifice fly gave Cincinnati an early two-run lead.
Beltran and Molina helped St. Louis tie the game in the fourth. Beltran led off with a homer to left-center field. Holliday followed with a double to left-center and raced home on Molina's one-out double down the right-field line.
Cincinnati took the lead back in the fifth. Choo singled and Derrick Robinson was hit by a pitch to start the frame. Lynn retired the next two batters before giving up a two-run double to Bruce.
"It's disappointing," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "How can you not be disappointed? That was a game we had the lead going into the late innings. We've got to find a way to hold that."
St. Louis responded with two runs in the seventh to continue the back-and- forth battle. Sam LeCure gave up three straight hits before being pulled. Jay singled, pinch-hitter Matt Adams doubled and Carpenter singled to plate a run. With Alfredo Simon on the mound, Beltran hit a sacrifice fly to tie the game.
Game Notes
The Cardinals captured their fifth straight series against the Reds dating back to last July ... Carpenter extended his hitting streak to 18 games.

If one has an image on a website, that for example is linked to a download of Adobe's Acrobat® Reader and image is the official Adobe Acrobat® Logo emblazoned with the words "Adobe - Get Acrobat Reader" then what is the best alt text? Should it describe the graphic and the link that it goes to? Or just the graphic? JAWS, when encoutering a linked graphic, will say: link, graphic, and then read the alt text. Typically the alt text on a web site describes the image itself and not the link. Most of the guidance I've read indicates that image alt text should describe only the image. Does doing so leave the blind user clueless about navigation? After all, the sighted user can mouse over the image and see the url of the link and choose whether to follow it or not based on that additional info. Any guidance here?

As the opening of NFL training camps creeps closer, so does confrontation with critical concerns on top teams. The outcome of these issues will have a major impact on the drama and results of the 2013 season.
Some of the teams expecting to contend for postseason and Super Bowl play have major issues to cope with if they are to reach their potential.
Not surprisingly, three of the Top Ten issues that could have a major impact on the NFL's 2013 season belong to that media darling known as the NFC East, based on a survey by team correspondents for The Sports Xchange.
Whether it is hype, reality, or both, key issues with potentially major NFL ramifications are percolating with the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins.
And it should come as no shock that the heart of each team's concerns is at quarterback, where Dallas is hoping Tony Romo lives up to his contract, Philadelphia is looking for a triggerman for its new offense and Washington has plenty of reason to fret over the health of Robert Griffin III.
Here is a closer look at the Top Ten issues that could have a major impact on the NFL's 2013 season:
10. New Orleans Saints -- Linebackers in a new defense.
It is interesting to see how the same defensive scheme is bad for one team and a savior for another. Coordinator Rob Ryan and his multiple 3-4 scheme were dumped from Dallas, but are being hailed in New Orleans. After all, Ryan had great coaching results at times with Cleveland and Oakland, pushing each defense into the league's top five at one point. And even before that he was tremendous as a linebacker coach with the New England Patriots. Problem is, the Saints do not have great candidates for the most vital component of Ryan's scheme -- linebackers. When outside linebacker Victor Butler tore his ACL in OTAs, the new-look defense took a big hit. He was expected to start in the new 3-4 and now that role is up for grabs with former defensive ends Junior Galette and Martez Wilson battling to start opposite Will Smith, also a former defensive end.
9. Dallas Cowboys -- Quarterback Tony Romo, et al.
Controversy will haunt the quarterback on "America's Team" until he manages to win another playoff game, which would give him a total of two. Anxious owner Jerry Jones yanked play-calling duties from head coach Jason Garrett, whose strength was supposed to be inventive play calling, and gave them to offensive line coach Bill Callahan, whose last memorable such NFL assignment was with the Oakland Raiders, highlighted by a controversial, five-interception, Super Bowl trouncing by Tampa Bay. Regardless, Romo needs to embrace Callahan's calls, but missed OTAs and minicamp while rehabbing from back surgery and was criticized by ex-Cowboys stars for not being involved enough, especially after signing a contract worth more than $100 million. If the offensive line cooperates -- big if -- Romo does have receivers to make it work. Talented but inconsistent Dez Bryant's goal is 2,000 yards receiving. With that mindset, however, what's left for Jason Witten, Miles Austin and rookies Gavin Escobar and Terrance Williams? Good luck to Callahan.
8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- Cornerback Darrelle Revis' knee.
The Bucs blew up the budget to bolster their terrible defensive secondary -- $96 million over six years for cornerback Darelle Revis (trade, New York Jets), $41.25 million, five years to safety Dashon Goldson (UFA, San Francisco 49ers). But success will hinge on Revis's ability to come back from major knee surgery. If he is unable to start the regular season, the secondary could be a house of cards, especially at cornerback where veteran Eric Wright struggles with consistency and staying healthy and Johnthan Banks is a rookie, best suited for nickel duty. After that, not much. Goldson cannot be expected to improve the level of play significantly if Revis is not part of the equation. However, he can help improve the play of second-year strong safety Mark Barron, the seventh overall pick in 2011 and a key on top-ranked defenses that helped Alabama win two national titles.
7. Green Bay Packers -- Defense, kicking.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers can't do everything. Well, he can't play defense, anyway. The defense must reduce scores and the need for shootouts. Linebacker Clay Matthews may need to fill a leadership void left by the departure of Charles Woodson. Matthews will get pass-rush help from rookie defensive end Datone Jones. But there are battles at both cornerback spots and safety and the rushing defense was a shambles, most memorably against Minnesota's Adrian Peterson and San Francisco's multi-talented quarterback Colin Kaepernick (181 yards rushing, two touchdowns). Inside linebackers Brad Jones, who started the last 12 games in 2012, and A.J. Hawk will need to make tackles closer to the line of scrimmage. The erratic kicking of Mason Crosby (league worst 63.6 percent on field goals) gave rise to serious competition from left-footed Giorgio Tavecchio.
6. Minnesota Vikings -- Quarterback Christian Ponder.
Jeckyll and Hyde may be a good drama, but it doesn't play well in the NFL, especially at quarterback. Christian Ponder enters his third NFL season as a wildly inconsistent player who may not be the answer at the sport's most important position. This is despite the luxury of having Adrian Peterson, one of the most dangerous runners in NFL history. Ponder could be on a short leash now that the Vikings signed free agent Matt Cassel (Kansas City Chiefs). To avoid the hook, Ponder must quickly get over the loss of talented receiver Percy Harvin (traded to Seattle), whose availability was problematic anyway, and get in synch with former Green Bay receiver Greg Jennings, Jerome Simpson and rookie Cordarrelle Patterson, who may ease the loss of Harvin if he shows how he set SEC season records with a combined kickoff and punt return average of 27.6 yards and a Tennessee record with 1,858 all-purpose yards.
5. Philadelphia Eagles -- Triggerman for Chip Kelly's offense.
Curiosity abounds over exactly how new coach Chip Kelly will transfer the blur-paced (15-seconds between plays) offense from Oregon into the NFL. Will the NFLPA or safety-conscious commissioner Roger Goodell insist on a minimum time between snaps before cardiac issues equal concussion concerns? More important, who will quarterback this breath-taking attack? Prime candidates include fast-footed, 33-year-old Michael Vick, lanky second-year pro Nick Foles and rookie Matt Barkley. That's not counting projects Dennis Dixon and G.J. Kinne. The Eagles look good on the offensive line and at running back, so that should help whoever is in charge of the trigger for Machine Gun Kelly.
4. San Francisco 49ers -- Wide receivers.
Versatile quarterback Colin Kaepernick can run and pass, but his first problem may be to find a favorite target. With Michael Crabtree recovering from Achilles tendon surgery, former Ravens star Anquan Boldin is the only proven, healthy wide receiver. Mario Manningham and Kyle Williams are fighting back from knee injuries and 2012 first-round pick A.J. Jenkins, almost a no-show as a rookie, is supposed to be improved. No big feat, that, so he is a wait-and-see. Stories about swift tight end Vernon Davis moving to wide receiver are overstated, although don't be surprised to see him line up here, there and everywhere.
3. Baltimore Ravens -- Inside linebacker, name badges.
Is Baltimore's planned roster overhaul rebuilding, reloading or starting over? After winning the Super Bowl, the Ravens said good bye to wide receiver Anquan Boldin (trade, 49ers), strong safety Bernard Pollard (cut), free safety Ed Reed (UFA, Texans), cornerback Cary Williams (UFA, Eagles) and linebackers Ray Lewis (retired), Dannell Ellerbe (UFA, Dolphins) and Paul Kruger (UFA, Browns). The Ravens insist they are faster and more versatile on defense. But at linebacker, Daryl Smith and rookie Arthur Brown must show they have overcome recent issues with sports hernias and Jameel McClain must make a healthy return.
2. New England Patriots -- Receivers at any position.
If quarterback Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick get this offense to put up the same astronomical numbers as the recent past, then the Pro Football Hall of Fame should waive that five-year technicality and enshrine them at halftime of the Super Bowl. Brady's most experienced battery mate in OTAs and minicamp was running back Stevan Ridley. They have nine connections in NFL action. Brady's top seven targets from last year are not in the mix after the free-agent departure of Wes Welker, release of Brandon Lloyd, injuries/surgeries to Rob Gronkowski, arrest/waiver of Aaron Hernandez, free-agent loss of Danny Woodhead, injury to Julian Edelman and departure of Deion Branch. Danny Amendola is the top newcomer, ostensibly a strategic replacement for Welker. But Amendola has yet to prove he is durable enough to catch 100 passes in a season, as Welker did five of the past six years.
1. Washington Redskins -- RG3.
With all the attention and pressure being foisted on him, quarterback Robert Griffin III appears compelled to make a miraculous comeback from major knee surgery. And because his game is so dynamic as a runner and a passer, it is a lot to expect him to be the same player he was winning the Heisman Trophy at Baylor and then dazzling the NFL as the league's Rookie of the Year. Regardless, based on offseason hype and publicity, RG3 is almost the face of the NFL, so expectations already exceed reasonable considerations. If Griffin cannot hold up, Washington's option is a far different second-year quarterback, Kirk Cousins. The Redskins are also concerned about safety Brandon Meriweather (three knee injuries, one game in 2012) and outside linebacker Brian Orakpo (three pec injuries, two games since the 2011 finale).

Sesame Street Inc.
|Episode 1644
"Fuzzy and Blue (and Orange)" is sung by Grover, Herry Monster and Cookie Monster. Wearing vaudeville-style boater hats and holding canes, they sing about being fuzzy and blue. Eventually, Frazzle interrupts the song because he wants to be in it, despite not being blue, so they change it to "Fuzzy and Blue and Orange."
This song has been sung in the Sesame Street Live show Elmo's Coloring Book, where Cookie Monster sang it by himself. It was also performed by Grover and Rosita in Elmo Makes Music.
A new version of this song was used as the theme song to Grover's workout show, "Fuzzy and Blue, and Healthy, Too!", in the 2005 video release Happy Healthy Monsters.
In the Sesame English episode, "Yes, Baby", Tingo sings brief parts of the song to Niki's baby cousin.
Pancho performed this song in episode 802 of Plaza Sésamo, with an interruption by Lola, who wants to sing too, making him change the song to "Peluda y Azul (y Rosa)." The music in this version was subsequently used as an underscore for various scenes involving Pancho.
The song is one of the rare instances in which Grover uses contractions.

The Kansas Attorney General's Office is not immune from the expense-reduction mania sweeping through Topeka. Between 2012 and this year, Derek Schmidt oversaw an almost 8 percent decrease in spending.
The AG did add 10 employees and an extra $1.07 million to the office payroll, but reduced outside contractor services by more than $1.5 million. The strategy makes sense, as employees generally are easier to manage. Gov. Sam Brownback recognized the effectiveness, and his budget proposal for the next two years follows the same path.
But last week, Schmidt appeared to reverse course. He requested an extra $1.2 million to cover the expected costs of defending controversial and potentially unconstitutional laws passed by the Legislature and approved by the governor. The AG finds himself in the difficult position of being required to defend all state laws, even if they appear on their face destined to fail judicial review.
The most expensive piece of legislation Schmidt predicts will be the new anti-abortion law. Conservative forces pushed through one of the nation's most restrictive by declaring life begins at fertilization. Not only did abortion providers lose their ability to take advantage of tax breaks most every other business and individual is able to utilize, they also lost access to public schools to either discuss birth control measures or even to provide such materials. As the governor is not yet able to control all judicial appointments and load the benches with like-minded conservatives, this new law is likely to at least be partially blocked from taking effect.
Schmidt anticipates his office will need to dedicate at least $500,000 for this measure alone.
Other new laws might not be as expensive to defend, but appear to be losing causes. Nonetheless, Schmidt will need to dedicate tax dollars arguing on behalf of them.
The pro-gun legislation pushed through, which declares the federal government has no power to regulate Kansas-made firearms and ammunition, is expected to cost $225,000 in potential legal costs. Another $250,000 will be needed to deal with the mandatory drug-testing of public assistance recipients. Still another $250,000 has been requested to defend a law that prohibits public employee unions from using the automatic payroll deductions that is used for political activities.
Some legislators correctly have noted that lawsuits can be filed in an attempt to prevent any law from taking effect. And we agree with the position that the threat of a legal challenge should never be justification not to pass good legislation.
But run-of-the-mill challenges and frivolous lawsuits are easy enough to handle with the AG's competent staff. When the state's top law enforcement official recognizes legitimate challenges that require ramping back up the same contract attorneys that were eliminated with the recent budget cuts, lawmakers should take notice.
Attorney General Schmidt will never come out and say the overreaching laws will not pass constitutional muster. But his pre-emptive budget increases appear to indicate that's precisely what he believes.

Microcosm Publishing
Microcosm Publishing is an independent publisher and distributor based out of Portland, OR and Bloomington, IN that distributes zines, books, pamphlets, stickers, 1" buttons, canvas patches, posters, t-shirts, films, and more. The focus is on publishing zines and books in the hopes that it will add credibility to zine writers and their ethics. Titles attempt to teach self-empowerment to disenfranchised people and to nurture their creative side.
Microcosm Publishing began in 1996 when self-described "hippie pretending to be post-punk" Joe Biel started the distro and then-record-label as a part-time mailorder out of his bedroom in Cleveland, Ohio. Since then, many Microcosm employees have come and gone, including Brainscan editor Alex Wrekk, who was hired in 2003 (and left in 2007). The operation has grown significantly over the years and, as of March of 2007, moved its mailorder operation to Bloomington, Indiana. There is a particular focus towards images and artwork celebrating bicycles, DIY ethics, and radical politics. Many of the items offered are not available easily elsewhere on the web or otherwise.
Microcosm is heralded in the zine community as an entity that, for better or worse, has brought zines into a larger consciousness in the new millennium, after former mainstream interest has largely subsided. They are also responsible for many of the recent zine/book hybrid aesthetics and zines that have fancier covers or design aesthetics such as multiple color screenprints, letterpress, or offset printing.
Incorporating the tactics of early punk record labels and a very DIY approach, Microcosm uses tactics that are more guerilla styled for promoting their titles than most publishers of equal size. They rarely purchase advertising, and rely more heavily on the people who appreciate their craft independently passing out their catalogs in their respective towns.
Microcosm is sometimes equated as the "Wal Mart of Zines" due to the vast selection and customer service that it offers. Due to Wal Mart's poor human rights record and complete inability to build a decent public image for themselves - Microcosm would probably be more accurately called "The Target of Zines", although former employees have no problem with the Wal Mart association.
Microcosm offered custom buttons as a service from 1998-2006. Custom stickers were also offered from 2001-2006. Custom patches and t-shirt printing was also offered briefly in 2002-2003.
Microcosm Publishing was formerly a record label, and released records by Flotation Walls, Bedford, Organic, Cripple Kid, The Unknown, The Roswells, Little Dipper, Rock, Star.
Currently Microcosm has picked up it's largest publishing schedule ever - managing about a dozen publishing projects at any given time - including rebirthing the 2007 Zine Yearbook.
Decisions at Microcosm are made as a group by current staffing employees. Current staff includes Adam Gnade, Dillon Vrana, Jessie Duke, Brittney Willis, Sparky Taylor, Steven Stothard, Nate Beaty, and Joe Biel.

If Corona del Mar High and Newport Harbor want to meet for the fifth time this season and set up a rematch of last year's CIF Southern Section Division 1 title match, the Back Bay rivals will need to win three straight games in the girls' water polo playoffs.
That's because CdM was given the No. 3 seed and defending champion Newport Harbor the No. 4 when the playoff brackets were released Sunday morning.
The Sea Kings (23-4) and the Sailors (20-6) both won two games out of the four meetings this season. The rivals have met nine times in the past two seasons, CdM winning five and Newport Harbor winning four, including the big one for the CIF championship, the Sailors' fifth in their history.
CdM has won five CIF titles, but remains without a Division 1 championship.
Estancia (15-12), which needed to win twice on Thursday to earn third place in the Orange Coast League, opens the playoffs on Tuesday in a wild-card game at home against Huntington Beach (14-13). The winner plays at top-seeded Santa Barbara (23-4) on Wednesday.
Costa Mesa (18-10), the OCL's second-place team, plays at Los Alamitos (21-6) in the first round on Wednesday.
CdM, the Pacific Coast League champion, plays at home in the first round and will face the wild-card winner of the game Ventura (13-12) at Esperanza (13-15).
Newport Harbor, the Sunset League champion, starts its quest to repeat on Wednesday at home. The Sailors face the wild-card winner of the game Woodbridge (14-9) at Canyon (15-12).
Quarterfinal games are on Saturday. The semifinals, at Woollett Aquatics Center, are Feb. 20 and the championship game, also at Woollett, is Feb. 23.

James Mfg. Company redwood incubator model # 2940 for sale. At least 6' tall, holds 2,940 chicken eggs. When I purchased this, there was a piece of paper on a few trays that said it had 252 pheasant eggs in one tray. Each tray has separators to adjust the size for any size egg. It can hold up to 12 trays, a few are missing, but can be easily built or purchased. I have found a parts dealer. There are two hatching trays in the top. It is manual turning. You turn each tray, not each egg. It has been sitting in a barn for over 10 years and the man I purchased it from said he used them for 35 years and he bought them used. He hatched 10,000 pheasant eggs in it each season. I have the manual but unfortunately there is no copyright date or anything in it. This model was built from the 1940's to the 1960's. The company still manufactures incubators today. I have cleaned it up a bit and it does run and heat well. I actually purchased two of these at the same time. One I am currently using and I have had very good success with it. I have pheasant, duck, goose, chicken, bantum chicken and peafowl eggs in it all at the same time. I have never had this great a hatch rate in any other type of incubator! I will never use anything other than a redwood incubator again. I only received one manual so you will be getting a copy if interested.
Please email email@example.com or call 218-776-2472 with any questions. I have more pictures I can email you.
Here are some pictures of the one I am currently using, the one for sale is the same except it does not have the turning knobs on the side. They were designed to hook together and turned together, but you can easily just pull the lever by hand.

It's been a busy year for passing automotive legends. Not long after the passing of Ferdinand Alexander Porsche and Carroll Shelby, Sergio Pininfarina, a man known for brilliant coach design over the past five decades, died in Torino at the age of 85 on Tuesday.
Known mainly for his work with Ferrari, Pininfarina sculpted the bodywork of many beautiful cars, including Ferraris, Maseratis, Alfa Romeos, even a Volvo model.
Among his best known designs are the 1965 Ferrari Dino 206, the 1966 Alfa Romeo Spider 1600 Duetto, the 1984 Ferrari Testarossa, the 2002 Enzo Ferrari, and the 2009 Ferrari 458 Italia.
Sergio Pininfarina's father, Gian Battista 'Pinin' Farina — who had made actual carriages at some point — started the company in 1930. Sergio turned it from a small group of craftsmen into an internationally recognized corporation when he took over the company in 1966, cementing its relationship with Ferrari and other high end automakers.
Pininfarina remained active in automotive design and Italian politics throughout his life, attaining an appointment as a lifetime Senator to the Italian Republic in 2005.
Although other renowned coachbuilders, including Karmann, bit the dust during the nadir of the financial crisis, Pininfarina managed to hang on. Sergio Pininfarina is gone, but his name, for the time being, lives on.

Hi all,
I've just installed 3 DS1820's on my boiler pipes. They monitor the temp for domestic water, central heating and central heating return.
What I did was, Solder a piece of flatcable to them. Heatshrink the open metal and tie-rap them to the pipes. Then a piece of electrical tape around them until I get my hands on a piece of heat insulation foam to put around the pipes.
That I am interested in is this:
Do U think the temperatures I read now are correct? Because the DS1820's are on the outside against the pipe. Or do I need to put some kind of calibration?
The domestic water-pipe is copper. The central heating is iron/zinc I guess.

Minnesota House Committee To Consider Liquor Taxes
ST. PAUL (AP) - A House committee is reviewing a proposal to raise state taxes on beer, wine and liquor.
The Taxes Committee convenes Wednesday to review the proposal from Rep. Karen Clark, a Minneapolis Democrat. Her bill would increase excise taxes on beer from $2.40 to $13.97 per 31-gallon barrel, which works out to about 3 cents a glass. Wine excise taxes would go up about 9 cents a glass and liquor taxes would increase about 10 cents.
The money raised would be used for treatment programs, drug courts and other support programs.
Clark has a handful of Democratic co-sponsors for her bill, but fellow Democrat Gov. Mark Dayton did not propose any liquor tax hikes in his budget.

MONTE CARLO (Reuters) - Novak Djokovic ended Rafael Nadal's eight-year reign at the Monte Carlo Masters with a clinical 6-2 7-6 victory in the final on Sunday.
Nadal, the only player to win a tournament eight times in a row, had enjoyed a 46-match winning streak at the claycourt Masters event before world number one Djokovic prevailed to claim his first title in the principality.
The Serbian celebrated his 14th Masters crown and became the first player to defeat Nadal in three different finals on clay, having already beaten him in Madrid and Rome in 2011.
Monaco-based Djokovic, who made a late call to participate in the tournament after injuring an ankle while on Davis Cup duty two weeks ago, produced a superb performance to outplay Nadal on the picturesque center court that has been the Spaniard's stage since 2005.
After light rain delayed the start of the final for 45 minutes, Djokovic punished an error-prone Nadal to go 5-0 up in the first set.
The match had little in common with last year's Monte Carlo final, when Nadal overwhelmed Djokovic 6-3 6-1 in the first big claycourt event of the season a month before he secured his seventh French Open crown.
Nadal, who took a month-long break before the tournament after winning three titles following his return from seven months out with a knee injury, saved five set points on his own serve and fought back to 5-2, only to hand his opponent the set with a double fault.
A more aggressive Nadal put Djokovic under pressure by taking a 4-2 lead in the second set.
But Djokovic dug in to level at 4-4, and after another exchange of breaks the Serbian ran away with the tie-breaker 7-1.

The Church's first article of faith states, "We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost." These three beings make up the Godhead. They preside over this world and all other creations of our Father in Heaven.
Latter-day Saints view the members of the Godhead in a manner that corresponds in a number of ways with the views of others in the Christian world, but with significant differences. Latter-day Saints pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ. They acknowledge the Father as the ultimate object of their worship, the Son as Lord and Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit as the messenger and revealer of the Father and the Son. But where Latter-day Saints differ from other Christian religions is in their belief that God and Jesus Christ are glorified, physical beings and that each member of the Godhead is a separate being.
The true doctrine of the Godhead was lost in the apostasy that followed the Savior's mortal ministry and the deaths of His Apostles. This doctrine began to be restored when 14-year-old Joseph Smith received his First Vision (see Joseph Smith—History 1:17). From the Prophet's account of the First Vision and from his other teachings, we know that the members of the Godhead are three separate beings. The Father and the Son have tangible bodies of flesh and bones, and the Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit (see D&C 130:22).
Although the members of the Godhead are distinct beings with distinct roles, they are one in purpose and doctrine. They are perfectly united in bringing to pass Heavenly Father's divine plan of salvation.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsEvents
Foxtoberfest 2013 - 'Core Audience
Horse Sense: For any dedicated Fox Mustang fan, Foxtoberfest is definitely worth checking out. If you want to attend, next year's show is slated for October 18, 2014, so mark your calendars.
We get around to a lot of events throughout the course of a year. Typically we try to hit the biggest events so we can get a look at the widest swath of Mustangs that our readers might enjoy. From there we can pick out the best cars from each post-'79 era that we cover.
That said, you know that we have a soft spot for the cars that put this magazine on the map—the Foxes. Sure we love the newer stuff too, but it's always fun to check out these vintage cars and time travel back to the days when simply owning a Mustang would have been the pinnacle. If you love cars, it's hard to forget the rides that sparked that fire.
So, when Fox Mustang Restoration's (www.foxresto.com) Matt Highley dropped us a line and asked us to come up to his annual Foxtoberfest car show, we were intrigued. It is the only all Fox show that we know of, outside of the Fox cruise at Mustang Week. When he said the show was growing every year and he hoped to crack 200 Foxes, we started looking at flights.
As it turned out, the weather kept Foxtoberfest from besting that landmark number, but it was a really strong crowd of over 170 Foxes of all shapes and colors. The show is unique in that FMR encourages attendees to bring Foxes in any condition, from showstopper to project. It was refreshing pouring over less-than-perfect Foxes, seeing the potential and pitfalls.
Even cooler was the absolute passion shown by the people attending the show. Your scribe chatted with several people throughout the day and by the end of the show we were ready to turn in our Fox Melvin cards. These people are serious about Foxes.
Sure we love the newer stuff too, but it's always fun to check out these vintage cars...

Following the abortive assault on the United States Arsenal at Springfield, men who had marched with the Regulators worried about being arrested for their activities. This notice from the commander of the government militia appeared on January 31 in the Hampshire Gazette Signed by General Benjamin Lincoln, it promised pardons to any rank-and-file Regulator came forward and surrendered his weapon, if he owned one, and took an oath of allegiance to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. On February 16, 1787, a Disqualification Act laid out the terms of the pardon and accompanying penalties for any "who have been, or may be guilty of Treason, or giving Aid or Support to the present REBELLION, and to whom a Pardon may be extended." The government did not offer pardons to men it had identified as leaders of the "rebellion," agreeing with Abigail Adams that Daniel Shays, Job Shattuck and other Regulator leaders were "Ignorant, restless desperados, without conscience or principles" who had "led a deluded multitude to follow their standard."

While working for NASA back in 1988, James Hansen became one of the first climatologists to sound the alarm about global warming and industrially-driven climate change. A quarter century later, his affiliation has changed—he is now an adjunct senior research scientist at the Earth Institute of Columbia University and an adjunct professor of earth and environmental science—but he is still one of the most prominent and outspoken advocates for climate reform.
Hansen is the lead author on a paper published today by PLOS ONE, "Assessing Dangerous Climate Change: Required Reductions of Carbon Emissions to Protect Young People, Future Generations and Nature" (doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0081648). The study makes unsettling arguments about the need to keep the maximum amount of warming below 2 °C. and about how rapidly fossil fuel use must decrease to prevent disastrous warming. More about the study can be read here and here.
I spoke with Hansen in November before the paper's publication. Below are excerpts from our conversation, edited for clarity.
John Rennie: When I take a look at the paper, the big message that jumps out at me is, if we take the dangers of future global warming seriously, then nothing seems to be more important than to immediately begin significant annual reductions in CO2 emissions through a switch away from the fossil fuels to non-carbon energy sources. Does that seem like a fair summary?
James Hansen: Yes, and that's because of the lifetime of the carbon in the system. You know, there's this notion that we could do some other things more easily, by acting on the non-CO2 forcings and reforestation. But those things work on a shorter time scale, and it doesn't really matter so much when we do them. What's crucial is that we not put stuff in the atmosphere which is going to stay in the climate system forever. For all practical purposes, that's what it does.
At first glance there are a lot of messages in the paper that people could say they've heard before. We've heard before, obviously, that we need to reduce CO2 emissions. We've heard before that there's a danger of moving the climate out of the conditions seen in the Holocene. How does your paper move those messages past what we've heard previously?
I think it's more persuasive. It's based fundamentally on observations, on studies of earth's energy imbalance and the paleoclimate rather than on climate models. Although I've spent decades working on [climate models], I think there probably will remain for a long time major uncertainties, because you just don't know if you have all of the physics in there. Some of it, like about clouds and aerosols, is just so hard that you can't have very firm confidence. So yes, while you could say most of these [messages] you can find one place or another, but we've put the whole story together. The idea was not that we were producing a really new finding but rather that we were making a persuasive case for the judge.
One thing that is a little new is the conclusion that 2 °C is probably dangerous, and the common inference that [the cumulative release of] something on the order of 1,000 gigatons of carbon would therefore be extremely dangerous, too.
Another thing is that we say you really have to separate fossil fuel carbon from these other [forcings]. What was fundamentally wrong with the Kyoto protocol was it has got this messy conglomeration of carbon offsets and mixing-in of non-CO2 forcings, which just allows excuses to continue with fossil fuel use. You really can't do that. That's why I think it's so important to separate these, because of their different time scales.
Let me take a step back. Could you tell me something about how you and your coauthors, who have fairly diverse backgrounds, came together to work on this paper?
We really started about three years ago. I called up people who I felt were needed. I always considered Jim Zachos to be one of the top paleo people and Eelco Rohling was for sea level. Then we needed someone on Earth's energy imbalance, and Karina von Schuckmen has done a complete analysis of this Argo float data [monitoring heat content in the deep ocean], so she was a logical person. And we needed someone for the economics, and Shi-Ling Hsu wrote the book The Case for a Carbon Tax, in which he did objective comparisons of cap and trade and carbon tax, so he was a logical guy to ask. And Frank Ackerman is someone who has worked with the IPPC, and been the principal person on the economic part. Valerie Masson-Delmotte is extremely good on paleoclimate, but she's also just a broad thinker. And so on. I just called these people and asked if they were willing to contribute to a paper intended for legal cases, and they agreed to do that.
So this was intended as a kind of amicus curiae brief for future lawsuits against governments failing to act on climate?
Yes. You know, the remarkable thing is that there are lots of governments that say we have a climate crisis, and yet they are allowing and even encouraging going after every fossil fuel they can find. I mean right now the Democrats and Republicans are fighting over who should get the credit for all this. [Laughs.]
So there's just a disconnect between what they're saying about climate and what they're doing about fossil fuels, so we have to really make it crystal clear that we just can't burn much more fossil fuel. And you know I realize that this is being said and has been said in a number of papers, but somehow [laughs] we need to say it as clearly as possible in a way that a judge can appreciate. So it's a little less technical than most of the papers you'll find even in Nature or Science, although it does reference the scientific literature in a comprehensive way.
Going back to the paleoclimate data, is there much doubt at all about the temperature reconstructions and how they relate to past sea levels? Is that a fairly solid base of information there, or is there much uncertainty?
It's pretty solid now, and actually that's one of the reasons that the paper was delayed. I did twice interrupt the process to complete a paper that contributed to the analysis. One of those was the paleoclimate paper in which we initially had used a simple prescription to relate deep ocean temperature to surface temperature. It really wasn't good enough, and we realized that our estimate for the Eemian, 120,000 years ago, was not accurate. So we went back and did another paleo paper, which came out a few months ago in Philosophical Transactions in the Royal Society. But we referenced a number of papers that looked specifically at the Eemian, and so it's pretty solid that [the Eemian epoch] was only about 2 °C warmer than the main Holocene [the past 10,000 years]. So I don't think we will get any flack on that.
And you know that's basically all we can do: look at the Holocene and compare that with the Eemian. We can't really say, "What if we're just a little bit above the Holocene, is that dangerous or not?" That's getting to be too fine and specific. But clearly if you go all the way to the Eemian, then we're well into dangerous change. And furthermore, when we talk about 2 °C either from our calculations or from IPCC calculations, you're really not including all these slow feedbacks. So it would really be hitting the planet to temperatures beyond the Eemian if you allow the emissions that would get [to 2 °C] via just fast feedbacks.
It was interesting to see that point in the paper, that we can't find anything in the geological climate record that even corresponds to the kind of forcings and the rate of warming that we're looking at right now. So it's impossible to make any precise comparison to something that's happened before.
Yes. The PETM [Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum more than 55 million years ago] was an order of magnitude slower, and that's about the fastest thing we know about. There are asteroid impacts or big volcanoes [that cooled the earth over the short term] but not anything which caused a huge bracket of warming. Those just don't change the composition of the atmosphere enough. You need a lot of gas in order to get a forcing of that magnitude, and there aren't many examples we know of.
With your paleoclimate methodology, you largely sidestepped the problem of having to deal with climate models.
We're not entirely avoiding models. We're taking any [estimates of] climate sensitivity from the paleoclimate. And then we're doing a very simple calculation with that. But it's largely avoiding climate models.
Your paper talks about nuclear power as a more or less inescapable part of the solution if we're to achieve these CO2 reductions. Is it clear whether even under the most optimistic and permissive regulatory scenarios that the supply of nuclear power could build up fast enough?
I think that we could because where it is needed most is China and to a lesser extent India, where they can build power plants quite rapidly. And in particular, if we would come up with an accepted standard design for a modular version of the nuclear power plant, then so you can just churn them out in factories and then ship them to the sites. You know, you can compare it to the building of ships and aircraft in World War II. Once we decide this is a crisis, it can be done quite rapidly.
The U.S. still has some technology capabilities that exceed those in China, and China would love to have the stamp of approval of the NRC [U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission]. They don't want to start churning out reactors and have them be less safe than is possible. So we really should cooperate with them, and I think there's some hope that could happen. Nuclear power is not something that Republicans object to. It's really the Democrats that have been the problem in slowing down the R&D.
What you have in mind are third- and fourth-generation reactors that are more modular and theoretically safer. A concern with the advanced reactors is that they would be reprocessing fuel, which could have an impact on the risk of nuclear terrorism. But I think you have said that we need to deal with terrorist issues separately, is that right?
Yes. For the U.S. to bail out on the most advanced R&D is not helpful in terms of assuring that nuclear power will be as safe as possible. Because the U.S. bailing out is not going to cause the rest of the world to turn its back on nuclear. And the problems have not been originating from nuclear power plants—there are rogue states that are going after weapons right from the beginning.
What would be the major points of scientific uncertainty within your study's data or your analysis?
There's always this question about sea level, and how fast do ice sheets disintegrate. And whether you're going to say, "Well, if it's going to be 500 years or something, then maybe we don't care." Well, you know, the paleo data doesn't allow you to see a discernible lag between the global temperature changes and the sea level changes, so it doesn't give you any confidence that there's going to be a big lag.
As long as people are saying, "Oh, it's going to be some centimeters less than a meter by the end of the century," then people don't get very worried about that. But now there's an interesting paper that just appeared today, in which the authors did a poll of 90 experts selected for their publications on ice sheet dynamics for sea level area. And it turns out that a majority of them think that sea level rise would be well over a meter a century and could be higher.
[Note: The survey found that most of the scientists believed that sea level rise by 2100 is likely to be 40-60 centimeters if warming mitigation measures are strong but 70-120 centimeters without them. Stefan Rahmstorf, one of the survey's authors, discusses the findings at Real Climate. —JR]
So the IPCC numbers seem to be very conservative relative to expert opinion. We don't have any specifically relevant paleoclimate examples that would allow you to quantify this, so it does really depend on opinion. I think the public position of the [sea-level modeling] community, if that's represented by the IPCC, is different from what people will tell you in the bathroom. [Laughs.]
How optimistic are you that people will read your paper and take the kind of actions that you have said would be appropriate?
With the carbon price idea, if you give the money [collected from levies on CO2-emitting industries] to the public, I think that could happen. It's a matter of getting public to be aware of this, and that's why I support the Citizens Climate Lobby, which is trying to argue for this. Most people would get more money in a dividend than they paid in increased prices, and a lot of the increased price effect [is something] they wouldn't actually see very explicitly. So I think they would not object to prices going up, and I think you would get to the point where a lot of fossil fuels would become become less competitive. Right now, consumers don't have much choice. But once we start moving in the right direction and have some alternatives, we will probably need to include nuclear power because electricity should become a bigger and bigger fraction of the total energy supply. And in fact it is becoming a bigger and bigger fraction, but if we're going to move off fossil fuels, it'll have to get even larger.
We have to pass those tipping points and then I think it will go very rapidly. At that point we'll have cleaner energy and no reason to continue to try to dig deeper and deeper [after fossil fuels].

Creamy Braised Brussels Sprouts
February 11th, 2009 | Category: Vegetable, Vegetarian
I would have never imagined that I'd find myself daydreaming about Brussels sprouts one day. It happens to me a lot with ice cream, Nutella-filled mini doughnuts, bagels and Korova cookies, but never with Brussels sprouts. That was until I took a chance and tried the Creamy Braised Brussels Sprouts recipe from Molly Stevens' "All About Braising".

Frozen in Time
Publisher's Summary
Audie Award Finalist, History, 2014
On November 5, 1942, a U.S. cargo plane slammed into the Greenland ice cap. Four days later, a B-17 on the search-and-rescue mission also crashed. Miraculously, all nine men on the B-17 survived. The U.S. military launched a second daring rescue operation, but the Grumman Duck amphibious plane sent to find the men vanished.
In this thrilling adventure, Mitchell Zuckoff offers a spellbinding account of these harrowing crashes and the fate of the survivors and their would-be saviors. Frozen in Time places us at the center of a group of valiant airmen fighting to stay alive through 148 days of a brutal Arctic winter until an expedition attempts to bring them to safety. But that is only part of the story. In present-day Greenland, Zuckoff joins the Coast Guard and North South Polar Inc. on a dangerous expedition to recover the remains of the lost plane's crew.
Frozen in Time is a breathtaking blend of mystery, adventure, heroism, and survival. It is also a poignant reminder of the sacrifices of our military personnel and their families - and a tribute to the important, perilous, and often overlooked work of the U.S. Coast Guard.

Best book I've read in a long time!
This is a must read. Gripping, emotional and true. Makes you appreciate Zuckoff's brilliant writing, research and his dedication to getting the story right complete with helping us to know these heros. Thanks for a super book.

Interesting Survival Story
This is an interesting non-fiction account of the loss of several planes carrying American military officers in Greenland during WWII and of the attempts to rescue the survivors. As it's non-fiction, not all the characters survive.
The historical tale from November 1942 to April 1943 is intertwined with the modern tale of the attempt to pull together a team to search for the lost Grummond Duck in 2012.
It is always clear which time frame is being referred to. The stories are different, and the contemporary tale is told from the author's first person perspective and is told in the present tense.
The WWII story is interesting and is brought to life fairly well. This is a good fast listen and will appeal to history buffs. For those itnerested in travel, particularly in the Arctic, it's full of interesting factual tidbits. Zuckoff does a good job of turning the frozen and unforgiving landscape into a central character.
Having said that, I think that Mitchell Zuckoff was not the best choice to narrate the story. He's a good writer but not a good reader. There's a difference between someone who tells a story and someone who reads a story. Zuckoff mispronounces several words -- after about the 30th instance of pronouncing ration as RAY-tion, I wanted to scream. He also has a tendency to slur his words and this affects his reading and the story. There were a couple of times when I wanted to turn the whole thing off and find another book to listen to, but the story kept me going.
I'd say the story is very good, but the narration is only fair. I'd probably give this about a 3.5 stars overall.

Sounds like a recent graduate's first book.
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I was disappointed with this book. My big complaint is that the author seems to be trying too hard to be a great writer, but ends up sounding trite. I can envision him making notes during the journey and thinking to himself, "this will be a great line for the book", then forcing it into the story. I wish he spent more time telling the story rather than trying to be clever.
Would you be willing to try another book from Mitchell Zuckoff? Why or why not?
I preferred his previous book: Lost in Shangri-La. Not great literature, but an interesting story that made the driving seem easier.

Great Telling of Little Known Event
The title and subtitle are actually good descriptions of the contents of this book. The author does some exhaustive research for the noble purpose of "leaving no man behind." He uses the literary device of alternating chapters with one chapter spinning the historical narrative of what occurred on the Greenland Icecap in World War II, and the other chapter describing events that are ongoing throughout the book. The book was published in a timely manner to include the mission to locate a lost aircraft and the remains of the three men aboard it. As a side note, the author has a blog that keeps readers informed of ongoing developments since the publication of the book. The author does a fine job of reporting facts in a narrative format that keeps the readers' attention. The author is also the narrator of the audiobook. I am always skeptical when authors try to perform their own narrations, but I was pleasantly surprised. As much of the book is written in the first person, the author as audio narrator is natural provided that the author is a good reader - and he is. The story is one that is worthy of the telling and I'm so happy that I read the story.

Slogged through it.
Is there anything you would change about this book?
In my opinion it should be more concise.
Would you recommend Frozen in Time to your friends? Why or why not?
Depends on their interest. If they love ww2 rescue stories I would.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
Good quality recording.
Definitely would have been better with a pro narrator.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Another good one from Zuckoff
While I enjoyed listening to this book very much, I preferred Zuckoff's other plane crash book, "Lost in Shangri-La". But I recommend both of them.

WOW What a History Lesson!!!
True story made a fiction by assumed conversation and thoughts of those in the initial 1942 story – I think the term now is Creative Nonfiction. Frozen In Time is essentially two stories intertwined. The first being the WWII tale of heroism as three American military planes crash in the unforgiving Greenland. Then there is the 2012 modern tale of continuing recovery resulting from those events.
The men involved in the 1942 saga were brought to life through Mitchell Zuckoff's writing. Their endurance and selflessness needed to be recounted as a reminder to each of us that even on our worst days, our struggles are so minimal and our sacrifices are so few. At times the numbers, dates and the large ensemble seemed to blur, but as I got involved in the individuals, their plight and their efforts – that ended. Frankly, I had to write out a score cared to help me over that hump.
The modern day part of the book is the struggle and prostituting involved in the continuing efforts of recovery. I fear for Mitchell Zuckoff's wife. I sure hope she didn't find out through this book about the credit cards and the state of her home's mortgage.
Fans of books like Into the Wild or Into Thin Air will find this an equally, if not better read. At times I was on the edge of my seat or stayed awake just to find out what happened to one of the men. Though I enjoyed Zuckoff's writing better than Krakauer – Zuchoff shouldn't be narrating. Not the worst, but a professional could have brought more to this story. I try not to fault him for that though too much because I worry that he needed that royalty for a VISA payment.

Great Story, Poor Narration
What did you like best about Frozen in Time? What did you like least?
I enjoyed the story and hated the narration. I didn't pay attention to who the narrator was when I bought the book; however, an hour into it I realized it had to be the author. There was no other explanation for the poor narration.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator was almost whispering at times and there was no inflection in his voice. It was basically monotone for over 8 hours. Also, the narration was not succinct. Another reviewer called it a slurring of the words and I completely agree.
Was Frozen in Time worth the listening time?
I greatly regret purchasing the audiobook strictly because of the poor narration. I highly recommend those interested in this book to purchase the e-book or hardcopy/paperback instead of the audiobook.
Any additional comments?
I would highly recommend this book for the story, but only as an e-book or hardcopy/paperback purchase.

True story of death and life lost and found on the glaciers of Greenland.
If you are enamored of WWI, nonfictional both. This is for you. You'll be taken to the edge of your seat time and again as you come to know these men, and a few women. It's a meeting of heroes you don't want to miss.

Epic story
As a retired CG officer and pilot, I stayed in Pritchard Hall more times than I can count. I had the honor of knowing both Captain King and Captain Long. I knew the overall story but can't begin to express my deepest appreciation for all those responsible for this book's filling in the details. An epic tale of adventure and heroism not to be missed or forgotten. Sempre Paratus Ds

Fantastic book, gripping story well read.
What did you like most about Frozen in Time?
Fantastic story of human survival and spirit
What did you like best about this story?
I like how it combines a WW2 story with a modern day quest to find the crash site of one of the rescue planes.
What about Mitchell Zuckoff's performance did you like?
Very well read with a real passion for the subject
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This is a very engaging story more about the people involved than their flying machines. It's a very personal story too about the struggles to launch an expedition to Greenland to find the heroes frozen in ice.

Make sure you read this.
In 1942 a Grumman Duck aeroplane crashed on the Greenland ice cap, shortly afterwards a B17 was sent out on a search and rescue mission to look for the Duck but this too crashed into the ice cap. The planes and the bodies were never recovered. This book tells the modern day story of how Lou Sapienza organised a modern day mission to recover the planes and the bodies but the book cleverly switches between the story of the crashed airmen in 1942 and modern day events. This book is an incredible mix of history and adventure and I just loved it. One of the best books I've read in 2015.

Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt a blow in their summer pursuit of Brazilian midfielder Hernanes, after Lazio president Claudio Lotito said that he will not be sold this summer.
TalkSPORT reports how the 28-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from Italy in recent months, with suggestions he could be on his way to the Premier League.
Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas has been credited with an interest in bringing the South American star to White Hart Lane, but faced competition from Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.
The French club's sporting chief Leonardo was recently spotted in Brazil at the Confederations Cup, where he was rumoured to be making a personal check on Hernanes, ahead of PSG's proposed bid to lure him to Parc des Princes.
However, both PSG and Tottenham's hopes of signing the Brazil international now look to be dead and buried, following Lotito's latest media comments.
"It is nice to know that Hernanes is liked, but we like him more than anybody else," he said. "We have no intention of selling him.
"Hernanes can not be touched because he is an integral part of the project here."
