Some 9 million American families lost their homes to foreclosure during the late 2000s housing bust, driving many to economic ruin and in search of new residences. Hardest hit were black, Latino, and racially integrated neighborhoods, according to a new Cornell University analysis of the crisis.
Led by demographer Matthew Hall, researchers estimate racial segregation grew between Latinos and whites by nearly 50 percent and between blacks and whites by about 20 percent as whites abandoned and minorities moved into areas most heavily distressed by foreclosures.
For years social scientists have grappled with the question of why men receive far more media coverage than women, and now a new study reveals the answer.
A new study reveals that while homicide victimization rates declined for whites, blacks, and Hispanics in the United States from 1990-2010, the drop was much more precipitous for the two minority groups.
Social scientists have long argued documentary films are powerful tools for social change.
But a University of Iowa (UI) sociologist and his co-researchers are the first to use the Internet and social media to systematically show how a documentary film reshaped public perception and ultimately led to municipal bans on hydraulic fracking.
In an era where popular culture is increasingly recognized for its impact on lay understanding of health and medicine, few scholars have looked at television's powerful role in the creation of patient expectations, especially regarding pregnancy and birth.
Despite having only about 5 percent of the world's population, the United States was the attack site for a disproportionate 31 percent of public mass shooters globally from 1966-2012, according to new research that will be presented at the 110th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association (ASA).
When members of the U.S. military leave the service, they tend to settle in neighborhoods with greater overall diversity than their civilian counterparts of the same race, according to a new study that will be presented at the 110th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association (ASA).
Indian-American spellers are known for dominance on the national stage and even host regional, culturally specific bees. How did the niche emerge?
Racial attachments are understood to be socially constructed and endogenous to gender, socioeconomic, and religious identities. Yet we know surprisingly little about the effect of such identities on the particular racial labels that individuals self-select. In this article, I investigate how social identities shape the racial labels chosen by biracial individuals in the United States, a rapidly growing population who have multiple labeling options.
Rebellious collective action is rare, but it can occur when subordinates are severely discontented and other circumstances are favorable. The possibility of rebellion is a check—sometimes the only check—on authoritarian rule. Although mutinies in which crews seized control of their vessels were rare events, they occurred throughout the Age of Sail. To explain the occurrence of this form of high-risk collective action, this article holds that shipboard grievances were the principal cause of mutiny. However, not all grievances are equal in this respect.

Under the leadership of its ambitious president Georges Kern, Roger Dubuis has spent the last few years retooling its collection, discontinuing some underperforming families while adding new ones like the Pulsion and Monégasque. The results are evident in the more elegant, streamlined Automatic, the "entry-level" Excalibur. The Roger Dubuis best replica watches revamped case also has no crown guard, which lends the case a more traditional, symmetrical aesthetic.
Excalibur Quatuor features four precisely positioned escapements – one in each quadrant of the watch, each mounted at 45 degrees. The escapements work in pairs to compensate immediately for the rate variations caused by the changes in position. Five differentials link the balances to the gear train, smoothing out the influences of gravity in real-time. The minutes are marked on an exterior flange on the dial's periphery, which is accented at each full hour by square applied markers. There are available in pink gold case or stainless steel and the dial is equipped with anthracite interior flange, white minute track and power reserve. Further, each one of balance operates independently and not in-sync, the frequency of the watch is 4 x 4Hz, or an incredibly high 16 Hz.

Remove Distractions
Picture this: You and your significant other have just enjoyed a delicious dinner. You lower the lighting and put on some slow music. And then ... the phone rings. It's your plumber confirming his appointment to come snake your toilet the next day. Or maybe it's your child's teacher, wanting to discuss your son's grades. Either way, the romantic mood is killed.
To avoid disruptions to your date, turn off any intrusive electronics. Start with adjusting your cell phone -- often the most egregious offender -- to silent. You should also turn down the ringer on your home phone. At the very least, don't answer any incoming calls (or texts!). You can always follow up with someone later that evening or the next day, if necessary. It can also be helpful to let friends and family know ahead of time that you'll be unplugged for the evening [source: The Knot].
While phones are probably the most common distractions, don't forget other possible intrusions. If you live in a suburban area, block out the sounds of weed eaters and leaf blowers by either waiting until the sun goes down for your date or shutting all of your doors and windows. And don't have the TV running unless a movie is a component of your evening.
Your home doesn't have to be noisy to be a distraction. Read our next tip to see what we mean.

The New York-based online music site, SpiralFrog is continuing to grow its catalog of freely downloadable songs. SpiralFrog describes itself as "a Web-based advertising-supported music experience that combines music discovery tools with free and legal downloads of audio and video content."
Music Row's own Frances Preston (see my earlier blog regarding her recent award) sits on SpiralFrog's Board of Directors.
In the past several months alone, SpiralFrog has inked deals with the likes of Universal Music Publishing (8/30/07) and more recently INgrooves, a subsidiary of Isolation Network, Inc. (9/12/07), a digital media distribution and publishing company.
The aggressive expansion gives SpiralFrog subscribers free access to approximately 900,000 songs and videos. Although free, the music has severe limitations, namely, it cannot be played on either the iPod or the Zune, cannot be played on an Apple computer, cannot be burned to a CD, and can only be transferred to up to two of the Windows DRM-approved devices. Finally, NO MP3 format!
This business model proves once again that many executives in the fledgling online music industry do not understand how the consumer wants to use their music. The music must be unfettered! The average consumer is more than happy, in my humble opinion, to pay a fair price (no, not 99 cents Apple!) to purchase and download a song provided that it is not restricted in any way.
While I'm on the subject of restrictions, I might point out that music downloaded to iTunes often falls into this category. The popular software from Apples is quirky, buggy and bloated. Again, if I purchase music, I want it unfettered. I don't want to be locked in to a really bad piece of programming such as iTunes.
Until a company finds a business model that really provides such unfettered access, they will not succeed. The closest solution I've found so far is eMusic.com. All music downloaded from eMusic is MP3 and DRM-free. Of course, because of its business model, eMusic is unable to ink licensing arrangements with most major distributors.
I'd really like your comments and opinions on ths issue.

GB: My parents read to me constantly when I was little; I taught myself to read when I was 3 and started writing poems when I was 4. Since my memories start at 4, I can't remember ever not writing! Words have always been central to my life.
LH: What was your first success?
GB: I don't know if this is a quantifiable "success", but when I was 8, I wrote what I considered my first novel (it was about a 20 page thinly veiled knock off of The Secret Garden.) My teacher had a copy laminated and bound and put in the school library. Seeing my name in the card catalog gave me my first real taste of being a published author.
LH: That's cool! I loved the card catalog, and can imagine what a thrill it was to see yourself in there. What kind of things do you most enjoy writing?
GB: Whether I'm writing poetry, fiction, or non-fiction, I enjoy writing the most when it surprises me, when a startling image comes out of nowhere, or a couple of unexpected words find their way next to each other and force me to see language in a fresh way. I love when my characters take me down unexpected paths, when the writing drops into a dark place I may have been trying to avoid.
LH: Do you have an agent? Tell us about your experiences with/without agents.
GB: I do indeed have an agent, and am so grateful for her. It's wonderful to have someone who knows the ropes of the business and who can advocate on your behalf. I certainly would never be able to navigate the maze of a book contract on my own! My current agent is actually my third agent; I am still dear friends with the first two, and love all three women. I met my first at a poetry workshop; I found my second by reading the acknowledgements section of a book similar to my own, and the third one semi-recruited me (after the second one left agenting when her sock company took off like gangbusters.)
LH: Sock company? It's pretty amazing that she left agenting because of that. What are your thoughts about marketing? Do you have any great tips on how to do it well?
GB: I used to really cringe at the idea of marketing—I used to be painfully shy, and very private, and wanted to only focus on the writing, not anything beyond that. I've since learned that a writer needs to be proactive if she wants to get her work out into the world. The best advice I have is to try to find creative ways to market that can utilize your writerly self—blog book tours, etc. And have fun with marketing—make a YouTube video, for instance, or turn your readings into performances. And always remember that connecting with readers is a joy and a gift, and marketing is one way to reach more potential beloved readers.
LH: If you could go back in time and start over, tell us one thing you have learned that would help you to succeed better/faster/with less struggle.
GB: If I could go back, I hope I would be less afraid, of both failure and success. I'd be more bold, more willing to put myself out there, less worried about what people might think. All things I still need to work on, but I've definitely made strides!
LH: Any other thoughts to share?
GB: Be true to yourself and your writing; write what you want to write, what you need to write, not what you think the market will embrace. The market is constantly shifting, but there is always room for passionate writing, writing that comes from the heart, the gut, that rings off the page with emotional truth. And don't forget to bring your body into the process—it's easy to get trapped in our heads as writers, but when we drop down into the senses and the sinews, we find such rich, vibrant, deeply lived material.
LH notes: Gayle Brandeis won the Bellwether Prize; her novel The Book of Dead Birds was chosen by Barbara Kingsolver for this award which recognizes literature in support of social change. Her new novel is Self Storage, and her book to stimulate writers is Fruitflesh. She teaches writing, most recently the master class in novel at UCLA Extension.

Chelsea make their first signing since being banned from transfers
Blues find their first way of circumnavigating the rules
Chelsea have beaten their transfer ban to sign Croatian goalkeeper Matej Delac, according to the player's current club. A deal has been struck which will see the 17-year-old remain with Inter Zapresic until 2011 with Chelsea paying his wages.
Delac will reportedly travel to the UK whenever possible to train with his new club. He will then join Chelsea on a five-year contract as soon as Chelsea's transfer ban over the Gael Kakuta saga expires or is overturned.
Zapresic sporting director Branko Laljak said: "This deal will save us from bankruptcy. We are proud to have sold one of our players to one of the strongest clubs in the world."

From an e-mail that just landed in my inbox:
Irvine, Calif., April 30, 2008 – Is that a rumble of hunger in your stomach, or a rumble of anticipation as you stare at Taco Bell's all-new Big Bell Box Meal? Hunger will meet its match beginning today with a Bacon Club Chalupa, Beef Crunchy Taco, Bean Burrito and Cinnamon Twists loaded into one big box and paired with a large drink, all for only $4.99 for a limited time at participating Taco Bell® restaurants!
"The Big Bell Box will satisfy even the biggest hunger at a great value for your money," said David Ovens, Chief Marketing Officer, Taco Bell Corp. "By combining some of Taco Bell's favorite items and packaging them together in a convenient and portable box, we provide even better value for the hungry man."
Taco Bell is supporting the launch of the new Big Bell Box with broadcast TV advertising featuring comedic radio personality Adam Corolla who prompts viewers to "eat like a man" and that they "deserve a meal made for men." …
A meal made for fat men, that is. Or for a family of three (I'm figuring they share the Cinnamon Twists for dessert) looking to make ends meet in these semi-recessionary times.

Class struggle
Generally class struggle-or class conflict- means conflict between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. The proletariat is the social class which doesn't have means of production that the bourgeoisie has. Class struggle has existed all the time, but after Karl Marx's explanation in his book The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital, this concept became popular.
Class struggle happens when the rich business owners (called bourgeoisie) pay everyday workers (called proletariat), to make things for them to sell. The workers have no say in their pay or what things they make, since they can not live without a job or money.
Karl Marx was mad that the workers were forced to work without any say in the business. He believed that since the workers make the things, they should say where they go and for how much, instead of the rich owners. They had to work hard to earn a living, while making the rich richer just doing simple office work.
Since they had to earn money to buy food, and jobs were the only things that give money, they had no choice but to work for the rich who made the business. The rich became richer while the worker hauled and lifted and did all of that hard manual stuff no one really likes to do.
Karl Marx thought that their labor limited their freedom. He wanted the workers to unite and take over the business, so that they could all be prosperous. He thought that the common man deserved to run the business, and that the rich were not better than the commoner.
When money was created, everyone got their identical share regardless of how much or little they worked. Each person received equal pay, which Karl Marx saw as fair and just.
Class struggle appeared in some forms. First, there is an economic form. The proletariat struggle with the bourgeoisie through their laborer's organization in this form. Second, there is a political form. In this form, the proletariat has their party and, through democracy, they try to change the system. And the last, there is an ideological struggle. In this form, the proletariat try to adapt the old governing system to new social situations. There are other forms of struggle, too. These forms are not exclusive, but exist at the same time.
Class struggle appeared all throughout history. At first, people lived in small communist societies. Then, they took property from the Earth for themselves and started to use slaves. They then had feudalism, which meant one person owned an entire area of land and used soldiers and workers to help them make money, and only gave their workers land, but they had some freedom that slaves didn't. Finally, in Karl Marx's time, people in some countries were becoming workers and bosses during the industrial revolution. The bosses owned the machines that the workers used to make things, but they didn't help using the machines. Instead, they made money by buying the time and energy of the workers to make things. Marx believed that the workers weren't making the money they deserved because the boss would make money from the work they did without helping.
The Future
Marx believed that countries would overthrow capitalism and that workplaces would move toward socialism. This roughly means that the workers would control the workplaces. When this has happened everywhere, Marx thought the world will have achieved communism.
The Soviet Union overthrew feudalism. They never reached the point of capitalism, so their society was very corrupt. Many blame them for the bad name of communism, but other workplaces and societies are run democratically by workers, such as the kibbutzim in Israel and the democratic car industry in Japan.
Revolution vs. Evolution
Other people who believe in class struggle, like democratic socialists, think class struggle can be ended by the government and a place can evolve to socialism through voting. Marx believed that the bosses wouldn't give up their machines without a fight and the only way to get them is through violent revolution.

now some of you may have read the mention of the SGM interview with kevin rutmanin mentioned down yonder...and even though it's mentioned that he's played bass in the cows and the melvins...some of you may still be scratching your heads and saying "the cows? the melvins? what are those things?"
the cows were a band out of minneapolis,mn and were part of that whole noise rock thing back in the 90s
they released 9 albums...all mostly released on the amphetamine reptile label (this album being #6)
i chose this album because this is the band at the tippy top of their game (and SEXY PEE STORY is just an awesome thing to say...go on and try working in into everyday conversation: "will that be paper of plastic?" "sexy pee story" "excuse me?" "exactly")
and not only that...you even get a cover of the song "39 lashes" from the JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR album
all in all...this is a good way to spend some alone time

Amazing record. I saw Cows lay with Helios Creed on front of about 30 people in Glasgow around this time. I ran my own short lived Sub Pop/AmRep fanzine called 'Tanned Wagon' and I remember this became a live review in one of the few issues I actually got out.ReplyDelete
Very nice record you have collected here thank you for it.ReplyDelete

I'd read so much about their new outreach initiative 'Ballet 4 Autism', the brainchild of Balletboyz co founder, Michael Nunn who's son is on the Autistic spectrum.
I felt our pupils were ready to widen their horizons in dance. I was right. They loved it!
I've been teaching weekly dance sessions at TreeHouse for about two years now and the pupils love to explore creative movement and express themselves through the music. I love watching how they engage with the session, lose themselves in the joy of being in the moment and bonding with their fellow classmates.
We can be imaginative – play super heroes – explore emotions – rise high, stoop low – and connect with a different state of being.
It's a beautiful thing to observe.
Do you want to learn how to teach yoga and dance to children and adults on the Autistic spectrum? Then please contact me here for details.
Take a peek at my video blog where I interview Karl Morgan, workshop leader and Balletboyz Ed Pearce and Marc Galvez.

The first in a trilogy, this book is an adrenaline and carnage filled thriller with a chilling and plausible science fiction wrapper. In 2040 naive scientist Kade and colleagues have developed a software drug that permanently alters the brain to allow people to telepathically connect to each other. Like many technologies it can be used for good and evil purposes, which is the moral dilemma at the heart of the story. Combined with genetic enhancements, the feared outcome is the development of a post-human (super human) race that can enslave or eradicate the unenhanced. This fear spawns a new and unwinnable war on drugs by the US and its allies, who selectively suspend civil liberties and use the very technologies they want no one else to have, all justified by the moral rightness of saving the human race and defending against unscrupulous violators like China. The detailed military, surveillance, and genetic advances described in the book are quite credible and demonstrate the author's knowledge of technology and trends. Interestingly, it's not AI that's to be feared; it's us.
Definitely a fan of this book. It starts off rather slowly (and thanks to Kade - awkwardly) but picks up quickly.
I have always been a huge fan of books dealing with aspects of the technological singularity, especially ideas of trans/post humanism (movies not so much - I'm looking at you Transcendence). The reactions of baseline humans to what they equate to a new species isn't anything new (see: every X-Men film/comic ever) but thankfully isn't approached in the same way in every country/culture.
It's a good mix of what you would expect from Vernor Vinge, Dan Simmons (specifically Illium and Olympus) and Charlie Stross. The action is fast paced and fairly brutal.
Really looking forward to reading the sequels.
When I read a cyberpunk book I'm looking for grit and action, this book was too smooth. The technology and science were great but the world was too clean, the story too linear, the characters forgettable.
I loved this book and the two follow ups immensely. As a big fan of Cyberpunk this was a great find, though it's more like proto cyberpunk or post humanism (A friend once joked that Post humanism is how technology will improve our lives, while cyberpunk is about how we will screw it up)
So why did I cringe so much while reading Nexus? This is a guy who seems to have his finger on the pulse of post-human discussions, both the philosophical speculations and the science. On plot premise alone, the book intrigues, but ultimately crashes and burns on narrative marks. After you've read William Gibson, Peter Watts (Blindsight was head-spinningly phenomenal), and Neal Stephenson—authors writing in this pocket of science fiction that explores near futures and post-human tech—you'll realize how disappointing Nexus is as a novel. If those authors write in poetic verse, Naam writes in emojis in this book.
First, the tropes and stereotypes regarding gender and race are just unbelievably outdated—and not in the alternate future, self-critical way, but in the lazy shorthand way that defies good judgment: There's the *cough* sexual assault in the first twenty pages of the book as a way to introduce the main character, our "hero," Kade Lane. Meant to be humorous, that infamous party scene only makes Kade, the supposed enlightened scientist, look like Kade, the desperate caveman. Then there are the villainous Chinese scientists and politicos right out of the James Bond universe that Kade is later strong-armed to spy on, who are deviously making clones for world-wide domination. (At one point, before the clones are confirmed, one person casually mentions that he wasn't sure because, well, don't the Chinese all look alike?) Look, I'm not easily offended; my PC-alert levels are switched pretty high. But these were just so ridiculous, it was their ridiculousness that offended.
Science fiction as a genre is compelling for so many people because it offers that imaginative glimpse of the future that echoes our present, our past, and all the timeless anxieties of humanity. And certainly on this count, Nexus approaches these ideas boldly. But this is still fiction. This is still art. When a futurist-author falls back on cliches, it makes all the talk about Singularity and the flush and excitement for a tech-centric future backwards and empty. Nexus is a definite pass if you expect more from your science fiction. I do.
I definately will read this book, and I'll add comments when i do.
Not to be a hypocrite (i do this 24/7), but in the description, and tell me if im wrong, but i do believe that it would be, 'can link humanS together' not 'can link human together...'
Just checking....
I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It was well written and gripping. I couldn't put it down.
Good, solid book, without obvious gaps and inconsistency of the plot. Felt very possible for me. Characters are well developed and believable. Also, there are a lot to ponder about. This book makes you think, not only enjoy the thrill of fights, pursuit, espionage. Good food for brain and good page-turner loaded with adrenaline for the reader.

As the picture states Quartzsite is a winter RV destination. People drive their RV's from all over the US & Canada to Quartzsite from the beginning of January to mid March, when it gets up into the 90's on a regular basis.
(Photo of BLM map)
What makes Quartzsite attractive is the proximity of BLM camping. The Bureau of Land Management has thousands of acres of land around Quartzsite. There are basically 2 types of BLM managed land.
Dispersed camping with no cost, carry in/carry out with a 14 day limit and LTVA dispersed camping where you get a permit for $40 for 14 days or $180 for 6 months. The Long term Visitor Area usually has some amenities like pit toilets, and rubbish, but these are limited.
The RTR is on the no cost land.
There is BLM land both north and south of I10
It is common for like minded folks to have groups and use this time to meet and socialize.
There may be signs like the Boomers above to direct their members to where they are as They could be anywhere.
Other groups may use flags so their members know where to go.
If the Smith's had a gathering they may just put up their name.
There is also some Arazona Trust Land that requires a fee & permit to stay on it. There is some trust land north of the town.
The businesses that sell products and services cater to all things RV.
Oh, there are a small minority of unconventional vehicles in town too, and they add color and and a sense of imagination to the high end factory painted Class A Motorhomes

text: I placed my Model X order without the secret 72 A charger option and I'm considering adding it to my order but I can't make up my mind (deadline: Saturday). Please help convince me one way or the other! Pros: - 50% faster charging speed where available. - It's only about 1% more cost to the order, so it seems almost silly not to get it. Cons: - Basically only useful with destination charging, and not even at every destination charging location. - Possible I might never make use of the feature at all.

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) - Initial claims for state unemployment benefits rose by 14,000 to 350,000 last week, largely because of powerful hurricanes that have walloped Florida and the Gulf Coast, the Labor Department reported Thursday.
Economists were expecting an increase to about 340,000, according to a survey conducted by CBS MarketWatch. See Economic Calendar.
A Labor Department spokesman said the increase in first-time claims in the week ending Sept. 18 was "mostly" due to the effects of hurricanes, including Ivan, which forced the closure of thousands of businesses from Florida to Texas last week.
The lingering impact of other hurricanes is also showing up in the claims data. Read the full release.
The claims data have been rendered almost useless as a guide to the state of the labor market by a series of storms and seasonal shifts in the past month, economists have suggested.
"We will just have to wait until the hurricane season is over to get a clean read on the labor market," said Steve Stanley, chief economist for RBS Greenwich Capital.
The more-reliable four-week moving average of first-time claims edged higher to 341,000 from 339,000 in the latest week. The four-week average smoothes out week-by-week distortions caused by weather and other events.
Meanwhile, the number of former workers receiving unemployment benefit checks increased by 5,000 to 2.883 million in the week ending Sept. 11. The four-week moving average drifted down to 2.8815 million.
In a separate report, the Conference Board said the index of leading indicators sank 0.3 percent in August, the third decline in a row. See full story.
The initial claims data cover the same week that the government canvasses 400,000 businesses and 60,000 households for the monthly employment data.
Initial claims were 17,000 higher in the September survey week than in the August.
The Labor Department will report on the September employment report on Oct. 8.
"Hurricane Ivan fell in the survey week, so payrolls will probably be distorted in September as well," Stanley said. Any impact from Hurricanes Charley and Francis would also show in the September employment report.
Economists have said initial claims in the neighborhood of 340,000 are consistent with monthly job gains of about 150,000 to 250,000. The economy needs to add about 150,000 jobs a month to absorb new entrants into the labor force.
The claims data are "at levels suggestive of a moderate pace of hiring around 150,000," said Mat Johnson, chief economist for ThinkEquity Partners.
Jobless claims have been relatively steady for months.
"The underlying level of unadjusted claims has reached frictional levels, below which it will be difficult to fall given the sheer size of the labor market and 'normal' rates of job attrition," said Joshua Shapiro, chief economist for MFR.
The four-week average of initial claims has settled in a range between 335,00 and 345,000 for the past six months after plunging by about 60,000 in the last three months of 2003.
Continuing claims have been near 2.9 million for the past three months after dropping by 600,000 between September 2003 and March, when job growth accelerated.
But job growth has stalled in recent months. Nonfarm payroll gains have averaged 104,000 over the past three months, compared with 295,000 a month from March through May.
Long-term unemployment has been particularly insidious during this business cycle. In August, 1.7 million, or 20.7 percent, of the 8 million workers classified as unemployed had been out of work longer than six months. The average duration of unemployment remained high at 19 weeks.

She leaned back on her elbows, kicking a branch into the fire with the heel of her boot. The flames protested briefly, coughing and sputtering on the damp wood, but slowly licked their way back into a crackling cone. The damp hadn't quite crept through the thick cloak she'd laid out onto the packed snow, and her carefully tended fire kept her organics warm and supple. She kept her blades close to her body, discouraging the formation of frost that could jam the daggers in their scabbards in a time of desperate need.
A hook-beaked bird, perched on the buckle of her haversack, cocked his head to one side and keened quietly. The assassin stirred, shuffling a tattered scrap of blue cloth from her knees. "Bad hunting today, Marcus," she agreed, brushing the small raptor from her pack. She unthreaded the buckle and produced a worn parcel of waxed paper containing a few dismal scraps of dried fish. The bird hesitated for a moment, yellow eyes glittering in the firelight, and then tore into the flaking meat.
"It wasn't always this way," she lamented to the treetops blackening the night sky. Just beyond the grasping branches, Ryjel gleamed bigger and brighter than the surrounding stars. The bird listened, scattering morsels from his curved beak. "There was—"
Even after 500 years she plainly remembered his skin, like the creamy underside of a pre-beam flower petal, and the gold freckles speckling the bridge of his nose, tips of his ears, his shoulders. He practically glowed beneath the sun, radiant in its presence, a testament to a life full of verdant pleasures and warm afternoons. Free from endless night, the klaxon of radiation alarms.
She tracked him through the fungal forest, her figure a flickering green shadow darting between the stalks. He made steady progress, stopping occasionally for a cube or fluids. She noted the halberd lashed to his back, calculated its potential reach and how quickly he could draw and swing 180 degrees. (Assuming, of course, that it was an unmodified blade.) She counted the number of steps he walked between each break. Though he was wearing what looked like a full suit of duratyne armor, it didn't seem to slow him down. What was his purpose? What sort of sun-sucking Ryjellian planned a camping trip to the Frill? He was an enigma brazenly striding through the wilds.
On the fourth day he stopped and made a proper camp on the bank of a fetid stream. She watched him unhook a complicated baldric, lay the massive halberd beside the fire, and remove each piece of armor, the fine plates retracting and collapsing in precise lines. She squinted. Duratyne that expensive could have been equipped with optical camouflage. It took one to know one, after all. Even without the armor, he cast a thick shadow.
When he started humming, she froze, fingers curling around the hilts of her daggers. Something about the melody tweaked an old ghost in her brain. But he kept moving, ducking to pull a handful of bright red fruit and a half-plucked bird from a small sack. He arranged these over a crumpled foil, waited for the flames to settle, and shoved the foil into the glowing orange coals.
Before he could straighten up, she melted out of stalks, disengaging her optical camouflage at the precise moment the tip of her poisoned dagger pressed into the back of his neck. An oily green tattoo wicked into his skin.
"You're a long way from your kisk, friend." The second stiletto eased into the flesh above his tailbone. In two neat motions she could sever his spinal cord. He didn't move, and she leaned in to her blades. "Any final words?"
A beat of silence.
"Why do they call you the red fox?"
By the Ring. She stiffened in alarm, and he moved then, a slight pivot of his shoulders and neck, letting the dagger carve a furrow through his deeply tanned skin. Blood welled over the blade and spilled onto his tunic, beading over the fabric. Beautiful, she realized, with a growing sense of unease. So drenched in melanin he probably could have photosynthesized. Envy briefly tempered her anxiety.
"You were always such a sneaky little thing." His grin met her mismatched eyes.
"Marcus," she whispered, snatching her daggers away. She sheathed them at her hips without breaking his stare, wondering at the sharp angles of his face. "How did you—"
Unsteadily, the tranquilizing poison singing through his veins, he rose to his feet and tugged his bloodied tunic straight. "When I heard the name, it tickled my memory," he began, hazel eyes examining her critically. They'd been darker the last time she'd seen him, just like his hair. He was a gilded, resplendent version of his former self. "Ancient by now, but I placed it eventually. Who else would it be?" And if the name was on the lips of Ryjellians, there'd been inquiries. Again.
"Your wings would fetch a fair price on Ryjel, Zorina."
"You're here to kill me, then." Her claws itched toward her hips.
"Maybe." He paused for a beat. "But I'm not foolish enough to chase bounties." He laughed. It was a distinctly melodious sound, and nothing like she remembered. What had happened to the rough and tumble young man she'd fought beside so long ago? He was all angles and carefully veiled strength now—a threat, she reminded herself. Ryjellian.
"You've managed to gain a modicum of wisdom in the past five hundred thirty years. I never would have imagined," she joked, swallowing hard. Quantifying the distance between their past and present unwound something hard and cruel beneath her ribs. The feeling blossomed from a seed of bitter regret, digging into her lungs and pushing up the back of her throat.
"You look—I don't know—different. I mean, have you put on weight or something?"
Zorina choked down a hiccup and threw a shaking, balled fist at his face. Even slowed by the poison, it wasn't difficult for him to catch her sinewy wrist in one of his large hands. Ah, hands. With fingers that tapered into half-moon, chewed up nails. Her claws suddenly felt monstrous. He brought her up short, peering at her face, and stroked the inside of her wrist with his thumb. "You found me," he offered, flashing a bright white strip of teeth.
"You're in the Frill," she spat. "I didn't find shit. You were looking."
"I thought you were dead."
"Close enough."
"And yet here you are," he started, touching the nape of her neck where a scarlet mane tapered down her spine, "the scourge of Forward Command. New enemy, old tricks. Nothing really changes." He seemed to ignore the talons, the green cast of her skin, the preternaturally sharp teeth. She could get rid of him then and there, she knew. It would be a simple matter to gut him with the concealed knife in her bracer and watch him bleed out as he gazed longingly into her eyes. She clenched her jaw.
"What do you want, Marcus?"
"What the Beam never gave me a chance to finish."
Later, she'd remember his hands the most, the way they gently stroked her cold skin and left behind heated fingerprints. In those moments, she was sure he'd marked her with an indelible ink crying her betrayal: Lover of Light, Mistress of Ryjel. She remembered how he'd carelessly draped his blue cloak over them both and tucked the edges around her body, how he'd nestled her close to his breast and fallen asleep. He'd been a veritable furnace, a source of warmth she hadn't felt since she'd had the sun. Just before what counted for dawn, she'd kicked the cloak to one side, craving the crisp air's relief. An innocuous looking flim pad slid from a concealed pocket, hit a damp rock, and turned on. It had immediately started broadcasting orders. An impossible order.
The red fox never asked any questions.
In the present, Zorina glared at the faint ring arcing across the night sky. "There was a man with the keys to my past, my feathered little friend." She paused, fingering the tattered cloak. "And I killed him."

This is an expanded version of an article originally published in UKEdMag
We should all teach more like computers. Hands up if you've stopped reading.
And fair enough, though I've got to admit to having learned quite a lot from computers recently. A few years ago, Khan Academy re-ignited my interest in maths, and may be partly responsible for it now being my second subject professionally. More recently, Duolingo was enormously helpful in gaining proficiency in a new language when working abroad. Memrise has always served me well for wrote-learning (which is important too, by the way) and I recommend it to a lot of students now. I could go on…
There are some great things about these websites and apps that we can't emulate in the classroom. The flexibility to learn for any length of time and at any convenient moment is more than handy. The detailed records of achievement that are used to motivate by constantly setting just-about-achievable targets are more detailed and accurate than any we humans will ever hold in our memories. But the single biggest factor in the efficiency of digital learning, in my view, is one which we most certainly can learn from and implement in every lesson we teach: computers are immediately responsive to the learner. They analyse your input (an answer to a question, most often), compute this new data alongside data already held about you, then decide what you should do next.
Organic teachers can do that in the classroom, too. In fact, we can do it better than any computer. We know our students and we can listen to and watch what's going on round us. We can infer, probe, spy; we can be masters of instantaneous useful-data-collection. Alas, there remains one major obstacle to super-responsive teaching: The Plan. That ridiculous list of tasks, thought out several hours, days, maybe weeks ago, of what we think might be a good idea to do long before we have collected any of this highly relevant data.
We might not have written down detailed notes and timings since our training year, but most of us like to start the day with at least some kind of plan for our lessons. So something of a dilemma exists: how do we prepare our lessons without predetermining their course? For me, an effective solution has been to stop thinking about planning in terms of a list of tasks. Instead, my 'plans' are flow-charts. Rather like a computer program, they require input from students and my assessment of the moment before each teacher intervention. What it basically boils down to is the common sense notion of considering how things are going before intervening or pressing ahead with a new task.
"Well, that's just AfL (assessment for learning), isn't it?"
Yes, but it's also a lot more. Flow-chart thinking is useful in making sure your students understand 'A' before learning 'B', but it also encourages teaching to respond to other variables in the room: what mood the class is in; how much time is left; how engaged students are; what mood the teacher is in; whether behaviour needs guiding…
I'm not suggesting that anyone draws out a diagram of how they plan to respond to all the potential situations that could occur in any given lesson. I don't do that. That would be ridiculous. What I am suggesting is that we think about lesson preparation in terms of a versatile set of potential responses to potential scenarios, and make informed decisions in the moment, not guesses in advance, about which response is best.
Most of us already accept that good teaching is adaptive, responsive and personal, so why plan away all the joy of a spontaneous, engaging environment? Flow-chart planning may make us teach more like computers but, more importantly, it makes us teach a lot less like robots.

YESTERDAY Sound Advice had the Manchester City point of view ahead of what's has been billed as the biggest game in Premier League history.
And today Manchester United fan Geof Marshall – who's a massive Red Devil, cut him, he bleeds, er, red – shares his thoughts ahead of the Manchester derby title decider.
He said: "I'm delighted to see that Mancini is trusting Balotelli, he could be our best player!
"Don't think we will have a problem scoring, the key being to defend better than we did last week – I am sure Fergie will have mentioned it.
"Overall, I suppose City have much more to lose (like a manager and maybe some key players) so I'm optimistic but a bit nervous… can't wait for the final whistle."
Month: April 2012
The secret cross-dressing of Mario Balotelli
IN REVEALING a two-year affair with Manchester City star Mario Balotelli, Chloe Evans has spilled the beans on the striker's love of cross-dressing.
Apparently the Italian footballer agreed to donning make-up and a blonde wig in a one off session.
Chloe recalled: "I will never forget the day I gave him a girlie makeover — he loved it.
"We were a bit bored and messing about so I turned him into a WAG for a laugh!
"We got a blonde wig and used my make-up — and before you knew it he was Marilyn Balotelli!
"It was so funny. The lipstick was a really pale pink so it was hilarious against his skin.
"I put it on him really carefully, he kept laughing so it nearly smudged. And he had loads of pink blusher on too.
"I got a blonde wig I had at the time and put that on him too to complete the look.
"Mario loved it. He started prancing around and posing in front of the mirror admiring himself.
"He shook his bum really fast doing silly moves to make me laugh. It was hilarious and then he looked in the mirror and said he was prettier than me."
Dennis Rodman he ain't, but still – the mind boggles.
Kenny Dalglish to be subtitled in Liverpool documentary
AMERICAN TV producers plan to subtitle Liverpool's Scottish manager Kenny Dalglish in a new documentary being filmed behind the scenes at Anfield.
The Fox Soccer channel promises to show 'things no one outside the inner sanctum has seen or experienced before' with its six part fly-on-the-wall Our Liverpool: Never Walk Alone.
But for American audiences famed for struggling with British dialects, King Kenny may need to be translated for viewers.
David Nathanson, executive vice-president of Fox Soccer, said:"The ownership and management understand for this to be compelling television we need to document everything that happens – the good, the bad and the ugly.
"This is not a soft promotional piece. This is the inner workings revealed for the first time."
Manchester derby – A Blue view
THIS Monday's Manchester derby will see either City or United emerge top of the table with just two more matches to play.
The stakes could not be higher as Manchester United chase down a record 20 league titles, while Manchester City chase their third top tier title, their first title since 1968.
Ahead of the big match, pre-Poznan City fan Dan Grimsley shares his thoughts: "Going into the game I am nervous, knowing that if the boys win their last three games we have won the league.
"The derby itself is the biggest one for years.
"I cannot wait to see what unfolds on Monday, if the likes of Aguero and Silva are on form I cannot see us being stopped.
"I just hope the blue moon keeps rising…"
QPR rejected Chelsea 'guard of honour' proposal
QPR manager Mark Hughes snubbed a Premier League suggestion for his team to form a guard of honour for London rivals Chelsea on Sunday as an alternative to the cancelled pre-match handshake, he has revealed.
Hughes admitted his surprise at the guard of honour idea following Chelsea beating Barcelona over two legs to reach the Champions League final, saying: "They were looking for solutions for the game at the weekend and the Premier League were throwing things out there and said at one point that one alternative would be to form a guard of honour and clap Chelsea onto the pitch, and I'm thinking there is absolutely no chance of that happening."
However the Premier League later denied the suggestion had been made, with a Premier League spokesman saying: "It was never under consideration. The board would never have suggested or agreed to it."
Goaltastic Season Survey results
THE votes are in, the results have been counted – granted, it' didn't take very long – and here are the results of the inaugral Goaltastic season survey.
A few names dominate the player of the year categories.
Domestically, it was a landslide for Robin van Persie, while worldwide, Lionel Messi destroyed the competition in the surveys takes as well as on the field.
The signing of the season however split the vote – with the names of Manchester City's Sergio Aguero, Newcastle's Demba Ba and Spurs' Scott Parker all topping the poll.
Most entertaining vote saw Mario Balotelli pipping City teammate David Silva and Gunner Robin van Persie, with the Dutchman also jointly topping success of the season, alongside Swansea City and Antonio Valencia of Manchester United.
Three teams were named as flops – winner Liverpool, followed by Aston Villa and Wolves.
And the answer to who would you like to see playing in the Premier League next season?
Santos' Neymar and Messi were the favourites – altough an honourable mention must go to the answer Leeds United!
Goaltastic Fantasy Football League – Gameweek 35
I'M FEELING twitchier than John Terry's right leg as we approach the Fantasy Football league finish line.
With just three gameweeks to play, the top two – Can't Touch This and Ninja Avengers – maintain their positions, with myself in third and Bangkok Foxes in fourth creeping up the listings.
In fact the top seven teams all have broken the 2,000 point barrier and could all realistically snatch victory in the coming three gameweeks of fixtures.
Top scorer this week was the last placed team!
Well done Silverdome FC in 78th place, who scored a massive five points more than any other manager with 74 points.
Senegal complete London 2012 line-up
THE final team to compete in the London 2012 Olympics men's football tournament have qualified.
Senegal triumphed over Oman 1-0 to book a place at this summer's games.
They now now join favourites Brazil and Spain, Team GB, Mexico, Honduras, Uruguay, Egypt, Gabon, Morocco, Japan, South Korea, United Arab Emirates, Belarus and Switzerland.
The draw for the competition takes place later today.
Not one but two major tournaments this summer – international football, you're really spoiling us!
Genoa forced to strip by fans
SERIE A side Genoa's match against Siena at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris at the weekend was suspended for 45 minutes after a fan disturbance that saw the home players intimidated in the middle of the pitch and forced to remove their shirts by angry supporters.
The game eventually restarted after goalkeeper Giuseppe Sculli's emotional intervention, with Siena resuming 4-0 in front and going on to secure an important three points in their battle against relegation.
Genoa did pull one goal back after the delay – the consolation came from a Cristiano Del Grosso own goal 11 minutes from time.
Giancarlo Abete, the president of the Italian Football Federation, said: "The events in Genoa are a very ugly incident which takes us backward and we must react."
Stiliyan Petrov is a dish
PETROV Pie is on the menu at Villa Park this weekend, after a special filling was chosen to support the Aston Villa captain Stiliyan Petrov's fight with leukaemia.
When Sunderland come to town this weekend, fans will be able to sample the chicken, leek and Bulgarian kefta meatball-filled pastries, with a percentage from sales of the Petrov Pie will be donated to the Cure Leukaemia charity.
A spokesman said: "As part of a special promotion, fans were asked to suggest their favourite pie filling with the winning entry chosen to be served around the ground on matchday.
"The winning filling was chosen by Villa supporter Mr Hugh Cottrill.
"The special pie promotion comes as Villa look to climb the prestigious Football Pie League."

The billing mistake entailed $39.
That is the cost for enrolling in the dental rider program for one month. I had used it in October 2018. I wanted that to be a one-time use. Therefore, after that one-time use, I had called and terminated the rider. Yet I was also being billed for the next month and the system was programmed for billing me forever more.
On November 16, 2018, my third time correcting this same kind of error, I spent more than 75 minutes on the phone with UnitedHealthcare. I was enrolled in AARP MedicareComplete. I am still enrolled but, after this nightmare, eventually I may go with another provider.
I was transferred over and over again, as I struggled to correct the mistake. Of course, over and over again I had to repeat the details.
Over and over again the customer representative said that she or he was sorry for the inconvenience. I begged them to go short on the politeness and, instead, focus on resolving the problem.
Some, though, were defensive when I complained about what I was going through. For example, when I told one representative that I had already been on the phone 45 minutes, she shot back that she was only on the call four minutes. I reported her to the supervisor.
The irony is this: On October 24th, when I cancelled that dental insurance rider, I warned the UnitedHealthcare customer folks that this would happen. That's because it had happened before. Twice before.
The reference number for that October 24th transaction was S266875054.
The reference number for the November 16 resolution was I138879619.
I request Congress and regulatory agencies look into why such a large corporation involved in an essential service doesn't have the personnel and customer relation management technology to process transactions efficiently. Those using the MedicareComplete, like myself, are in a protected class.
The implications of what I perceive as substandard CRM via UnitedHealthcare for U.S. dentistry could be huge.
Because of this extreme insurance processing ordeal, I am considering becoming a permanent Dental Tourist. That is, like a growing number of residents of the U.S., I will stop using the services of American dentists.
Instead I will travel across the border of Mexico to Nogales.
There the main street is lined with respected dental services.
The staff speaks English.
The technology is up-to-date.
Waiting rooms are packed with families from the U.S.
The fee is usually about a third of what U.S. dentists charge. Two years ago I had a hard mouthguard custom-made for less than a third of the usual U.S. fee. The currency situation had worked in my financial favor.
When there, we can all enjoy Mexican this and that.
I did publish a few articles on that experience.
Because the cost is so low, there is no need to put up with the emotional burden of dealing with U.S. dental insurance providers. Dental could be one more industry moving to Mexico - or other locations around the globe.

Arsenal star Per Mertesacker has hailed Mesut Ozil's performance during the 5-0 victory over Aston Villa but believes Arsene Wenger deployed the German international out of his favoured position.
After Santi Cazorla took advantage of Ozil's recent injury to hit form playing in the German's natural position behind the striker - being named Vitality player of the month in both December and January - Wenger decided to keep the Spaniard in the number 10 role during the game against Villa, while deploying the former Real Madrid star on the left-side.
Ozil responded with an impressive performance scoring the second goal of the game after setting up Olivier Giroud for the opener.
However, Mertesacker believes his compatriot would be even better playing in Cazorla's new role.
"It was not on his best position in my opinion, he played more on the left side, but he can play anywhere up front," Mertesacker told Standard Sport.
"It is good for him to get back his fitness, maybe on the wing he is doing a bit more defensive work as well. He suffered a bit at the end of the game, but he always looked dangerous, was always available, wants the ball and wants to create something."
Ozil made an impressive start to life at the Emirates Stadium last season following his £42.5m move from Real Madrid. However he struggled to replicate the same form during the second part of the campaign.
Mertesacker believes that, after overcoming his latest injury setback, Ozil is ready to finally prove his worth in the Premier League.
"He was always that promising talent, and now he is showing a lot more, he has had so much experience in his young career," he said.
"Sometimes I wish he is more selfish in front of the goal, as you can see when he breaks through the lines, he should have scored instead of looking for another player. You can see he is dangerous and has pace when he really wants. He is so quick, and he caused a lot of trouble, and was always a threat."

It was in the nineties a week ago and now it struggles to get into the fifties. Time to rinse all the sticky bucket and to, reheating the wash water as required. The volumn of water will increase as neccessary. There is about four gallons of sticky wax and cappings that will add their sticky to the water which will be reheated one more time then almost hot dumped into the stainless settling tank which has its own unwashed cappings that escaped skimming.
I will increase water to at leat a dozen gallons to fill two brew buckets with room left for an unknown volume of melter honey to bring the Specific gravity to an appropriate range for whatever yeasts I choose. One brew bucket will be brought to.1.125 and fed to EC-1118. After moving that to a 6 1/2 gallon carboy that started life bringing industrial strength H2So4 to a copper smelter. That tradition continues as I step feed slowly mild alfalfa honey to maximum potency. Yeast nutrient and energizer provided by a half pound of my collected pollen. This will not be fit to drink for at least two years. Then it will be very rich in honey and not to be toyed with. When I am 70, it will be perfect.
The remainder will be annointed with D47 and fermented in the coolest corner until it stabilizes, then will be fed lots of wild plums for ten days. Then into a carboy under air lock and key for a couple years or I am out of its predecessor.

Tonni Bennett (@TonniBennett), Director of Sales at Terminus, got into sales after deciding not to go to law school. As a young professional, she often felt awkward having selling conversations and found herself imitating the men around her, rather than being herself. While new to the field, Tonni understood she was more of an expert with her product offering than her prospects. As her confidence grew, so did her career and her approach to selling became conversational while focused on communicating value at all times.
One of Tonni's biggest lessons learned has been to prepare for your day the night before. This preparation and intentional calendar blocking have been key contributors to ensuring conversations with prospects are personalized. Time should be specifically allocated each week for activities that are easy to miss but critical in advancing deals.
Tonni works with her team to focus on the right people at the right companies, and target them in a personalized way. People are busier than ever today and don't have time to jump on calls without value. Being prepared with an agenda and a goal in mind guides conversations with a purpose.
If you have mapped out the features, the benefit, and the challenges before booking the appointment, the questions you need to ask become clear and your prospect will understand why you're asking them. This planning increases the likelihood of a successful call outlines the roadmap to a value-driven conversation.
- Confidence is Key: Once you realize you know more about your product than the person on the other end of the call, the whole world opens up to you. Stress levels go down, better questions are asked and that feeling of awkwardness and intimidation starts to fade.
- Quit Being a Rule Follower: While it's important to know the rules of the game, more often than not, it's so that you know which one's to break and when. Don't just imitate those around you, challenge the status quo and find your voice.
- Keep it Conversational: Be logical and intentional in your questions by focusing on the purpose of where the answer should take you. As you start to better understand your flow, people will continue to engage without realizing how long they have been talking to you and open up all kinds of opportunity you might never have got to.

With over 20 years of biotechnology in Research and Development, Cell therapy has epitomized its latest cellular therapy for maximum effectiveness. It contains bioactive sheep cell extracts combined with other highly purified anti-aging compounds. These include: marine DNA Cellular extracts for nerve calming and mental alertness, Protein M for the joints, cartilage and connective tissue, Collagen Elastin HME for skin firming and thicker dermis for a more youthful appearance. It is totally safe to use, and once inside the human body it triggers no immune reactions.
