Fulton Brewing is moving the bulk of its operations to Northeast in late 2014, further bolstering the neighborhood’s beer brewing credentials.
“We’re building another brewery in Minneapolis, and this time we won’t outgrow it in 3 years,” Fulton said in a blog post.
The brewery’s current location in the North Loop is a mere 6,000 square feet; the new facility, located on 2nd Street NE about a block north of Lowry Avenue NE, is 51,000 square feet.
The new brewery will feature an 80 barrel brewhouse, high-speed bottling and kegging and will, at its outset, be able to produce 20,000 barrels of beer a year.
The expansion will allow Fulton to end the outsourcing of some of it’s brewing and up production to the point that the company will expand distribution beyond the Twin Cities.
The new brewery will not feature a taproom, due to Minnesota state law, which prohibits beer companies from running more than one taproom.
Smaller batch brewing will continue in the North Loop location, and in the taproom, Fulton said it would be beer-drinking-business as usual.
Fulton Brewing will join Dangerous Man Brewing Co., Indeed Brewing Company, 612 Brew and Northgate Brewing as a part of Northeast’s thriving brewing scene.

Review by Frank Plowright
By day Liam James works in a nursing home carrying out all the demeaning and unpleasant, but necessary tasks that requires. At night at least he can express himself via DJ sets. That’s before he suddenly develops a black hole in his stomach and starts seeing things no-one else can.
What at first seems to be no more than a wild and wacky journey on the part of writers Mikey Way and Shaun Simon is given some grounding in the third chapter when Liam’s genetic heritage is clarified. That’s also a wild and wacky journey, but at least explains who he really is and what he’s capable of. What he becomes is a very self-centred superhero, transformed from the well-meaning but frustrated guy he’d been into an opportunist who takes every possibility fame offers without considering the bigger picture. It’s an updated version of Grant Morrison’s Zenith in this respect.
Collapser benefits considerably from the imaginatively detailed art supplied by Ilias Kyriasis, suited to both the absurd and more real aspects, and gleefully sinking giant eyeballs in collapsing buildings. He fills the pages with people and objects, comes up with a neat effect for Liam’s black hole manifestations and ensures we can tell one character from another. Ultimately, though, it’s the weird you’ll remember, and Kyriasis does weird well.
However that’s just one part of the plot, and from a viable starting point Way and Simon lose their path early. Everything is rolled out at a frenetic pace, and too much seems to happen just because the writers think visually and know it will look good. It’s a coming of age story with the fate of the world at stake, but Way and Simon never step away from the weirdness long enough to really make us care about Liam or anyone else. It leaves Collapser as a glossy treat to skim through, but a missed opportunity otherwise.

Some ideas for tax, retirement reform
Editor, the Record:
Give all citizens (with incomes up to $250,000) the option to withdraw some/all of their retirement savings tax free if they pay all cash for a primary or second home or rent to someone who lost their home.
Retirees and those near retirement have suffered significant losses to their savings thanks to Wall Street greed. Tax free withdrawals for home purchases would make up for some of these losses, put a bottom on home prices, reduce foreclosures, increase consumer confidence and spending, provide state and local governments with much needed real estate taxes, and provide construction, consumer product and other employment without costing the taxpayer a dime.
Putting America back to work now would more than make up for taxes taxes on retirement funds.

This Market is the result of the Innisfil Farmers' Market Committee, a Committee of Council comprised of participating vendors, a member of Council and Town Staff. The Committee comes together as required to make decisions and approve applications for the season; a Market Manager coordinates these meetings and oversees the Market each week. The Innisfil Farmers' Market is designated a True Farmers' Market in that we have over 51% of our vendors identified as Primary Producers personally growing or raising at least 70% of the products they sell. In the winter season, given the circumstances, vendors carry over their fall harvest vegetables, providing items that they have grown and stored or items that are growing in their greenhouses for as long as they can until the end of the 2017 market.

At The Moment
At the moment of your death
Did you perhaps not see,
Each and all that signifies,
Of love, to you and me?
When closed at last, that one last time,
Your now unblinking eyes,
Held you thoughts of my dear heart,
And our eternal ties?
And will you now that you have gone
Still wonder at our troth?
As I remain, forlorn this nightFor all that love hath wrought.

35+ Years Experience as a Chartered Physiotherapist (the exact number is a national secret)
-Graduated with distinctions in Physiotherapy from the Oswestry and North Staffordshire school of Physiotherapy in 1980
-Specialist Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist- (the treatment of all conditions relating to muscle, joint and bone injury, or conditions)
-A wealth of post graduate learning and skills gained from attendance at post graduate training and courses. (Including most recently kinetic control, making sense of chronic pain, effective management of the Cervical and Lumbar spine, Muscle imbalance, Swiss ball systems as used by elite sports professionals, shoulder courses, combined approach to sacroiliac joint, Brian Mulligan’s concept, Mindfulness at work etc) - LOTS!
-A specialist interest in neurological related conditions and chronic pain management.
-Vast experience and professional relationships with Commissioners, Consultants and GPs mostly in the North Northamptonshire area.
Judy has worked mainly in the NHS for over 30 years, both as a Physiotherapist and as a Physiotherapy manager, and then as manager for Corby and Kettering District Nurse teams (70 staff).
She initially I worked in a variety of locations including North Staffordshire, Gibraltar and London, gaining a wealth of experience including the acute setting, with patients in intensive care, surgical, medical, orthopaedics, acute geriatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology, burns unit, thoracic and renal units, neurosurgery and neuro medical.
From 1984-1985, Judy led a team of trained Physiotherapists, students and support workers, in the management of inpatient medical ward patients (neurological and respiratory conditions) as well as outpatient support for neurological conditions, mainly post CVA (stroke).
In 1986 she had time out due to children and went back in the community, in the Market Harborough area, for a year in 1993 before starting part time in Corby, in 1994. This was primarily seeing a wide variety of neurological outpatients. She extended her musculoskeletal assessment, treatment and management skills through courses and training and was promoted to Physiotherapy Manager for Corby, as well as Professional lead for junior and senior Physiotherapists, across Northamptonshire from 2003-2013.
Judy was then Service Manager for Corby and Kettering District Nurses, Corby Collaborative team (CCT) and administrative staff from 2013-2018. This enabled her to gain insight into the wider health economy and develop her management skills further. During this time Judy undertook a MSK caseload including the joint assessments of housebound patients within the community, to both assess and enable their rehabilitation. She was involved with project and service development work collaborating with service users, carers, other health professionals, local GPs and commissioners as part of the CCT, Palliative and end of life care, and also as part of a Falls prevention group.

This was working alongside GPs and Practice nurses.
She has brought this expertise to Team Rehab uk where she predominantly serves our NHS First Contact Practitioner services, overseeing the Rockingham Forest District. For this reason she may not appear on our booking for private patients.
Judy has significant experience in the assessment and treatment of a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders with a comprehensive, broad based knowledge and skill set, for many conditions. She is a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) and Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), both which ensure safe and professional working standards, of a high level, at all times.
Judy is married, with 2 grown up children, and grandchildren, with another grandchild on the way. Her favourite past times are gardening, walking, travel and visiting gardens.

SCPOR Patient-Oriented Research
Level of Engagement Tool
The SCPOR Patient-Oriented Research Level of Engagement Tool measures the degree to which a project meets the definition of patient-oriented research described by the CIHR Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR). The tool utilizes five criteria which have been adopted from SPOR published documents. These criteria are: patients are partners, patient identified priorities, outcomes important to patients, team is multidisciplinary, and aims to integrate knowledge into practice. Each of these criteria is rated on a scale from 1 to 5.
The tool scores each criteria on a continuum from 1 to 5. A score of 1 for each criteria suggests limited patient-oriented research criteria have been met within the project. A score of 5 for each criteria suggests all aspects of the project meet ideal patient-oriented research criteria, for instance: patients are activity involved in all aspects of the research project, the team has representation from research, health system and the patient community, and knowledge translations activities have been planned and approved by all members of the team.
Each category should be assessed individually and then summed to provide a total score.
A score of 1 indicates the lowest score possible and a score of 5 indicates the highest score possible in each category. The highest possible total score for a project is 25.
Patient: The term patient is defined as either someone who has personal experience of a health issue, or their informal caregivers, including family and friends (SPOR Patient Engagement Framework). The term patient may be replaced with client, family, resident, person with lived experience, community or community based organization.
Inform: To provide patients balanced and objective information to assist them in understanding the problem and potential solutions.
Consult: To obtain patients’ feedback on the research project and decisions.
Involve: To work directly with patients throughout the process to ensure that their viewpoints are understood and considered.
Collaborate: To partner with patients in each aspect of the research project.
Empower: To place final decision making in the hands of the patients.
Note: Definitions for inform, consult, involve, collaborate and empower are adapted from the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) Public Participation Spectrum.

Jack and the Beanstalk
|Date||26th January 2018|
|Venue||Council Chambers Hall, Torpoint|
|Type of Production||Pantomime|
Author: Nick Lawrence
Torpoint Players had struggled a little of late to attract sufficient members, but thanks to a determined effort they had added to their number and with the considerable support of Andy Martin Productions were able to, once again, offer live entertainment to the local community. As one would expect Andy’s set was bold and colourful and, of course, benefitted from his own lighting design. There were lots of special features adding atmosphere to the various scenes and presenting a very polished finish to proceedings. It was amazing how well everything worked in the small stage area. This is the bonus of hiring a set from a man who knows the building and the possibilities. It does, though, throw a lot of pressure on to the backstage crew. Most of the changes appeared effortless and all was worked into the flow of the whole. Some of the cueing was a little tame. It is essential, in pantomime especially, that pace is generated by lack of pauses. On occasion lack lustre cueing by the cast caused light and sound cues to be delayed (and once or twice early). It is important to remember that without someone “on the book” how essential clearly spoken lines are to everyone involved. There was also a long pause in Act II with everything in the dark while a change was completed. Perhaps a little comedic moment from Bean and Dunnit could have covered this, giving the crew less pressure and maintaining the audience’s attention.
This production boasted some wonderful teamwork. Everyone, from the warmly welcoming Front of House Team to the cast and crew were clearly working together and having fun. This was infectious and stirred up the audience which arrived ready to participate. The script offered plenty of opportunities for general involvement and the audience was not slow to take up their chances. It is important for the cast to allow the audience to take part. Firstly permission must be given for interruptions and then gags must be clearly signposted. Once or twice inexperience meant that the cast ploughed on leaving the audience behind. The actors may be bored with the jokes, but you can always go for a groan. Although this could have been improved upon, it in no way spoilt the audience’s fun and the songsheet (competently handled) was mercifully short: well done.
With a kaleidoscope set the wardrobe department was certainly challenged, but every element for successful pantomime was present with all the characters appropriately colour co-ordinated and appropriately costumed. It is important for the audience to be in no doubt as to who is who and what their relationship is to the other characters and this was stunningly achieved: Jack, heroic looking; Crystal, delicate; Simon, loud; Dame Trott eccentric and so on. It was good to see the Villagers fully costumed with all the right accessories and Daisy the Cow was excellently done (with help from two competent performers). The Dame had a range of outfits without it descending into a fashion parade and Jack & the Princess were charming.
The story was strongly led by a handsome Jack (Katie Baker) and a feisty Princess (Maddie Binney). It was good that the Princess never showed signs of wetness and that she was prepared to stand up for herself even in the face of the giant. With a promising voice, she presented a very good solo in Act II. Jack knew his stuff and wielded a sword with panache: a proper panto-hero.
As always in this pantomime the main comedy is founded in the Dame. Malcolm Boocock was very homely and lovable as Dame Trott; playing to the audience at all the right moments. The kitchen scene was hampered by the script which didn’t seem to flow. Perhaps some careful additions would have smoothed things along and, once or twice, the slapstick seemed slightly under-rehearsed. Despite the hesitancy it was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience.
The teenage Simple Simon (Jennifer Park) had the audience eating out of the palm of “his” hand, but why was he allowed to stop using his entrance gag? This should have been maintained, even if the action had to wait for it, so that the audience knew they were still expected to join in. “He” had a very clear delivery and good understanding of what was going on. It is essential not to be afraid of an aside. Throw it boldly at the audience and be prepared to accept something back. Simon’s colourful costume had straps that were slightly too long causing some fidgeting: this was rather irritating. He had a good rapport with Jack and the Dame and was clearly a favourite with everyone.
The rest of the comedy was in the hands of Bean (Karen Hemmings) and Dunnit (Laura Tamblin). This was a very good pairing with both actors working well together. The “hit me on the head” gag could have gained from a few more glances at the audience. “Does he really mean for me to hit him?” sort of thing. This includes the audience fully in the joke. In general this pairing handled things well, particularly when appearing in a scene they didn’t belong to: so well handled the audience scarcely noticed.
The spider gag was greatly enjoyed by the audience although it was slightly ragged in places. The need to rehearse this almost to the point of boredom cannot be over stated. Although, of course, one doesn’t exactly know how the audience will react, it is possible to have it so rehearsed that the audience does as it is told. It was well organised and the spider proved very popular.
There was a nice King (Mike Adams) who was not afraid of a joke with the audience. Sometimes the bumbliness was rather confusing – was he a bumbly King or a bumbling actor? A little more confidence in the delivery of the fluff would have resolved this. It is important not to drop the voice for asides so that everyone gets the benefit of them. He was regally bossed about by the strong Queen (Anna Martin) who unfortunately was allowed to get stranded in open space once or twice. Actors must have people to talk to and not have to address the scenery. The regal party was completed by the posh chamberlain (Marcia Naylor). Here again was a character who was allowed to get isolated, consequently she frequently had to look upstage to find a target. Also a long pole rather than a stick would have made things easier for her attention grabbing moments.
Good was in the capable hands of the jolly Fairy (Rachel Kenhard) who was greatly appreciated by the audience. It was wise to play this for as many laughs as possible, making her very lovable. Against her was the fearsome partnership of Witch Hazel (Gill Prideaux) and Scabies (Neil Sellors). Both were very good at being bad. They played the audience well and got their comeuppance appropriately at the end. There was some decent acting here (if on the “big” side) and it was pleasant not to have them go over-the-top but enjoy their wickedness. All three received the expected response from the audience.
The villagers were ably led by Alice Fox and Josef Sellors who seized every opportunity given to them. It is commendable that the group made such efforts to harness these actors’ talents. The group worked well together and provided a much appreciated chorus.
Although the script was not the sharpest, it benefitted from a pleasant directness from cast and director, and was enhanced by some well-chosen musical moments sympathetically accompanied at the piano by Betty Begbie. Throughout the various natural talents of the cast and crew were used to best advantage ensuring that the whole came over with a natural enthusiasm which was infectious to the audience. All the right elements were here, well planned and executed, making the most of the facilities available. This was a thoroughly entertaining evening from a friendly, focussed team, which deserved its enthusiastic reception.

27.02.06 – Dynamite-punching Welshman Enzo Maccarinelli plans to take it out on Mark Hobson when the Yorkshireman steps in to replace Johnny Nelson on the big M.E.N card at the weekend. Maccarinelli will now defend his WBU World Cruiserweight title against Hobson on Saturday night following the withdrawal of WBO king Nelson due to a knee injury suffered in training..
” When I got the news about Nelson I was just about to begin sparring, so the guys I was working with that day got a bit of pasting,” said Maccarinelli.
“I was gutted when I heard about Johnny, but as soon as I heard Hobson was in, I was up for the fight.
“I’ve been in this game long enough to get used to things changing in the build up to fights, and getting another one of my British rivals was great news. Now I get to bash him up instead.
“My preparation has gone really well and I’m fitter and stronger than ever before, so I can’t wait to fight in front of a massive crowd and live on ITV.”
Current British and Commonwealth Cruiserweight champion Hobson, 29, has an impressive record, and his team have boasted that he’ll have too much for 25-year-old Maccarinelli.
But Enzo shrugged off those suggestions.
” His trainer (Chris Aston) has been boasting on a couple of websites about how Hobson is going to win,” said Maccarinelli.
“But he won’t be in the ring with his man on Saturday – and he’ll wish he stayed at home with his keyboard.
“Hobson himself always talks about how he beat Lee Swaby, who I lost to, and Bruce Scott, who I got off the floor to beat.
“What he forgets is that I was 19 when I fought Swaby and was handling him easily until I got stupidly got caught. Hobson was given all he could handle by Swaby and then some more.
“And the Bruce Scott he fought was badly out of shape and even then he couldn’t knock him out like I did.”
Meanwhile British featherweight champion Andy Morris has been ruled out of a title defence against Rendall Munroe on the Manchester card because of a hand injury and cut he picked up in sparring.
Maccarinelli-Hobson will be chief support to Joe Calzaghe’s WBO/IBF match up with Jeff Lacy, which begins at 2am in the UK, 9pm Eastern time in the USA and will be shown live on ITV1 and Showtime.
ITV1 viewers can watch all the action from the M.E.N Arena from 11.10pm until 3.10am, with a re-run of the fight shown again on Sunday morning from 11.25am until 12.55pm.

APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. EDWARD
M. FIALA, Judge, presiding.
MR. JUSTICE WILSON DELIVERED THE OPINION OF THE COURT:
Following a jury trial, defendant was convicted of murder and sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 14 to 20 years. On appeal, he argues that (1) statements allegedly made by him were obtained from him in violation of his fourth, fifth and sixth amendment rights; (2) the court erred in denying a motion for a mistrial after prosecutorial comments; (3) the court abused its discretion in refusing to fulfill a jury request for transcripts; (4) the court erred in refusing to give a jury instruction; and (5) the juvenile court erred in waiving its jurisdiction over defendant. We affirm. The pertinent facts follow.
At the hearing on the State's motion to permit prosecution of defendant because of his age under the criminal laws, Officer Donald Janke testified that at approximately 7 a.m. on November 7, 1977, he proceeded to Madison School where he spoke with the custodian. He was directed to the place where the custodian discovered the body of Andrea Sax. He observed the body in the bushes but did not see any signs of a struggle, or blood in the vicinity.
Officer John Ryan testified that when he arrived at the scene he observed the body lying near some bushes. On the south side of the building, the officers found tire tracks, a knife, a purse and several personal belongings of the victim.
At 7 p.m. on November 7, 1977, he was present in the police station when defendant was being fingerprinted. He did not say anything to defendant but defendant said to him: "What would you do with a kid that's as f____d up as me?" He later overheard defendant tell the officer who was fingerprinting him that she was evil and that someone had to do it.
Dr. Robert Stein testified that he performed an autopsy on the body of Andrea Sax on November 7, 1977. The cause of death was stab wounds to the neck and chest with perforation and laceration of the carotid artery and the aorta. He found 24 incised wounds on the head, neck, shoulder, chest and back, of which he identified 6 as stab wounds.
Officer William Zerfass testified that he is a juvenile officer with the Skokie Police Department. On November 7, 1977 he first went to the scene where the body was found and then to the area where the victim's car was located. Several police officers and four young people, whom he identified as Laura King, David Gerber, Julie Derichs and defendant were present. These young people accompanied him to the police station, where he spoke with them individually.
King told Zerfass that on the morning of November 7, 1977, she was late for school because defendant failed to appear at the place where they normally met to walk to school. She walked to defendant's house and they walked to school. On the way, he pointed out a car belonging to Andrea. At school, she, defendant, Derichs and Gerber met in the cafeteria and discussed the disappearance of Andrea, whereupon defendant commented that he thought that he had observed her car parked on a side street enroute to school. They encountered a police car after leaving the school and directed the officer to where the police found Andrea's car.
Zerfass interviewed defendant, who told him that the last time he saw Andrea was on November 6, 1977, as he and Tony Genc were riding their bicycles. They conversed with Andrea in front of her house and then the three of them decided to go for a ride in Andrea's car. They drove around for an hour and returned to Andrea's house, where he and Tony picked up their bicycles and departed.
At 9 p.m. that evening, defendant received a telephone call from Andrea. She was upset and wanted to come and speak with him. When she did not appear, he telephoned Mrs. Sax at 10 or 10:15 p.m. and told her that Andrea never showed up. He made another telephone call and then left to meet Tony Genc.
Officer Zerfass noticed blood stains on defendant's pants. Defendant stated that the pants belonged to David King and he agreed to turn them over to the police.
Ramazon "Tony" Genc was brought to the station and interviewed by Detective Dennis Degelmann, who informed Zerfass of the contents of their conversation. Genc denied being with defendant or Andrea on November 6, 1977, and claimed that he had spent the evening with Howard Getner from 6:30 to 11 p.m. He further denied knowing defendant and claimed that he had been staying in Room 221 of the Holiday Inn. The officers checked the hotel and found that Genc was not staying there, whereupon they brought defendant back to the station to identify Genc.
Genc was interviewed again at 6 p.m. on November 6, 1977, and indicated that he was walking near the "7-11" at Lincoln Avenue and Gross Point when he encountered defendant driving Andrea's car. He got in and defendant told him that he had killed Andrea and offered to show him the body. He declined to go but defendant drove anyway to Madison School and he observed the body lying in some bushes. He indicated that he saw defendant throw the knife away and scatter Andrea's belongings. They drove away and parked the car before returning to defendant's home.
Zerfass said that he and a detective proceeded to defendant's home, where he was arrested in the presence of his parents. He was advised of his rights and his father accompanied him to the station. Defendant and his father indicated that they wanted to speak with their attorney and did not wish to make a statement.
Getner was questioned by the police and indicated that he had met defendant on October 28, 1977, at defendant's home. On that day, he indicated that he was returning from work when they encountered Genc and Edgar Dones. They conversed and Genc went to get something to eat. He and Edgar picked up his car and they went out looking for Genc, where they found him with defendant. Defendant suggested that they all go to his home. They went into the basement of defendant's home, where they found a knife and threw it for awhile before smoking some pot. Getner identified the knife as the one discovered by the police near Madison School.
Zerfass interviewed Dones, who related the same account as Getner. Dones further stated that defendant demonstrated to him how to kill with the knife by grabbing someone by the back of the head and striking the person in a downwardly manner in the head, shoulder and neck. Dones also indicated that defendant mentioned Andrea in the course of the demonstration, but he did not know the context in which it was used. He also indicated that the knife had "Chicago" written on it. Zerfass stated that the knife found near the school had the words "Chicago Cutlery" on it.
Officer Carl Cacioppo testified that he was present at the police station while defendant was being held in a detention room. He entered the room to check on him, whereupon defendant looked up and said, "She got what she deserved." He responded, "Who?" and defendant replied, "You and I both know who." He again asked, "Who?" and defendant said, "Andy, I killed her." Cacioppo informed Zerfass of this statement.
Shirley Sax, Andrea's mother, testified that Andrea received a phone call from defendant around 9 p.m. She told her she was going to visit him and left home around 9:15 p.m. Defendant called the house around 10:15 p.m. that evening and stated that Andrea never showed up at his house. Mrs. Sax asked him to help look for Andrea by tracing the route to his house and to call some of her friends. She called the police around 11 p.m. to report Andrea missing and while she was talking, defendant called on her second telephone line. Her other daughter talked to defendant and later told her that defendant stated that maybe Andrea was "cruising around" and "what's the big deal that she's talking to the police?"
The juvenile court found that there was sufficient evidence upon which a grand jury could return an indictment; the offense was committed in an aggressive and premeditated manner; defendant was 16 years old; the evidence before the court established that there were no facilities particularly available to the juvenile court adequate for the treatment and rehabilitation of defendant; the clinical evaluations of defendant indicated a disposition which made him aggressive and dangerous under certain circumstances and as such, treatment for rehabilitation might require custody or supervision beyond his minority; and that the interests of the minor and the public required transfer for prosecution as an adult.
Defendant began his hearing in the criminal division with a motion to suppress certain statements. Zerfass testified that defendant was advised of his Miranda rights at the time he was arrested and at the station after his arrest. Defendant and his father then indicated that they wished to confer with an attorney. The attorney, Alan Lapping, conferred with his client and advised Zerfass that defendant did not wish to talk with the officers.
Defendant was transported to the juvenile detention center at approximately 11 p.m. on November 7, 1977. Zerfass indicated that he did not direct any questions to defendant; however, defendant did ask if he would be able to get help where he was going and whether he would be able to face reality when he got out. He asked defendant what he was talking about and he responded, "for doing what I did." After a period of silence, defendant stated, "Why did I do it?" Another period of silence ensued and defendant stated, "What I did was wrong." and later stated again, "Why did I do what I did?" Zerfass indicated no further statements were made then before their arrival at the center.
Cacioppo repeated his testimony concerning defendant's admissions while he was held in the detention room at the station.
Sergeant Gary Reiter testified that as he escorted defendant to the washroom, he asked, "What is going to happen to me?" He responded, "We'll try to get you some help," and defendant answered, "I'm sick, I need help." Reiter was aware that defendant's attorney did not want him questioned.
Officer Robert Mason testified that after he fingerprinted defendant, he stated in the presence of two other officers, "What do you do with a kid like me? I'm really f____d up." While he fingerprinted defendant a second time, he asked him why he did it, to which defendant responded, "Someone had to do it." After a period of silence, defendant stated, "She was evil. She messed up a lot of lives. Now that I have straightened her out, who is going to straighten me out?" Mason indicated that at the time he fingerprinted defendant ...

ResourcesYour Upcoming Surgery
Step 1: Anesthesia Professionals
- Anesthesiologist (MD, DO Physician)
An Anesthesiologists is a physician who has completed a four-year residency in anesthesia in addition to medical school (4 years) and pre-medical school (4 years). Some Anesthesiologists will also complete a one (1) year Fellowship. Combined educational years are 12-13 years to become Anesthesiologists. They must pass extensive written and oral examinations as part of the credentialing process of Anesthesiologists. They may supervise other types of providers such as CRNAs and AAs. All of our Anesthesiologist are Board Certified, or, are Board Eligible until Certified.
- Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA)
A CRNA is a registered nurse, some have completed a bachelor’s degree (BSN, 4 years of education). After obtaining their RN/BSN, they must work as a registered nurse (RN/BSN) in an ICU at least 1 year, (the most recent average as of December 2020 is 3.4 years), before they can apply for Anesthetist training/education. Once accepted to Nurse Anesthetist School and upon completion they will receive a doctorate in nursing or masters in nurse anesthesia, although most currently practicing CRNA’s are master’s prepared. Combined education years are approximately 6-7 years. Depending on the state, CRNAs may work independently or under the supervision of an Anesthesiologists. Nebraska is an opt-out state so CRNA’s may provide anesthesia without supervision in the State of Nebraska. CRNA’s may not supervise other providers.
Step 2: Pre-Op Information Prior to Surgery
After you have met an anesthesia professional, they will proceed with providing anesthesia by starting with a pre-evaluation of your personal and physical history and exam which in the medical term may also be called a “pre-op”.
During your pre-op visit by our Anesthesia Professional, you will be asked questions about your health status, similar to a History and Physical. Pre-operative Evaluations are very important to determining the safety and efficacy of the anesthesia your anesthesia professional chooses. In general this allows the anesthesia professional to determine risk factors and determine the proper care. Knowledgeable and honest personal health information given to the anesthesia professional are critical to patient safety in this evaluation as medical history, drug and other allergies, current medications as well as illegal drug use, alcohol and tobacco use are all factors in determining challenges to certain anesthesia. A physical examination may also be performed.
You will have been instructed by your surgeon (or surgical facility or both), prior to the date of surgery the importance of NPO. This is a Latin term for Nil Per Os meaning Nothing by Mouth. Those in medicine agree that because of risk of aspiration during surgery, food and liquid should be avoided prior to an operation. A rule of thumb is to begin abstaining eight (8) hours prior to the procedure however allowances should be made for young children and those taking certain medications. NPO orders of your surgeon, facility and anesthesia professional should always be followed closely and it is very important that you notify your anesthesia professional the exact time you last ate or drank anything by mouth.
- Informed Consent
This is a separate document the patient will be provided to read regarding the definitions of the type of anesthesia to be given, as well as the benefits and risks of anesthesia. Your anesthesia professional will go over the “informed consent” with the patient prior to surgery and discuss which type of anesthesia will be provided. The patient (or other legal caregiver) will be asked to sign this document which is a legal document that the patient has been informed of the risks and wishes to proceed with anesthesia.
Step 3: In the Operating Room – Types of Anesthesia
After your Pre-Evaluation is complete, and, you have signed your Informed Consent Form, you are now ready for surgery. In the Operating Room your anesthesia professional will administer one of the types of surgery listed below, that was discussed with you in your Pre-Evaluation. These are summarized definitions to help you have a basic understanding of each one.
macGeneral Anesthesia affects your entire body and may sometimes be referred to as “deep sedation” in the anesthesia world. Drugs are administered systemically either intravenously or as an inhaled gas causing the patient to lose consciousness. The patient’s breathing is often affected by this loss of consciousness and it is often necessary to provide airway management in the form of a mask or small tube gently inserted through the mouth into the lungs.
Regional anesthesia affects a section of your body where the surgery is performed. An injection is given near your nerves causing numbness in that general area. The most common form is epidural anesthesia, which involves an injection in the back resulting in numbness in the body’s lower half. The patient may be awake or sedated.
- MAC (Monitored Anesthesia Care)
MAC is similar to general anesthesia in design because of its use of sedatives and other calming agents. Its affects are less pronounced than those of general anesthesia. Patients breathe without assistance and remain responsive. MAC can be used for anxiety relief for non-painful procedures and used to accompany local anesthesia for painful procedures.
- Nerve Blocks for post op pain
This type of anesthesia targets a specific section of the body where surgery is performed. In most cases, nerveblockthis is a separate procedure where the surgeon orders anesthesia to perform for post op pain, in addition to general or MAC anesthesia. Orthopedic cases are where this service is normally performed, but can be ordered by other specialties. There are normally two types of blocks, single shot lasting anywhere from 12-24 hours and continuous nerve blocks that can last more than 24 hours depending on the pain ball used. It is very important to follow the post operating directions for nerve blocks.
Step 4: Common Anesthesia Drugs
- Induction Agents
For years induction agents were fast acting barbiturates. These are still in use today, the most popular being: thiopental, methohexital, and thiamylal. Recently a non-barbiturate induction agent, propofol, has surpassed many barbiturate forms in popularity. This intravenous drug has been linked to more rapid and clear thinking recovery from the effects of anesthesia.
- Anesthetic Vapors
Anesthetic vapors used to be the preferred method for all forms of anesthesia. This method allows for easy and fast delivery of medication regardless of patient’s cooperation. The prototype vapor is halothane, with another vapor that has grown in popularity being sevoflurane. Other less commonly used forms are: isoflurane, enflurane, and desflurane.
- Muscle Relaxants
Muscle relaxants are ideal to create a suitable environment for the body to be operated on. For rapid muscle relaxation, succinylcholine, is the drug of choice, though a search for a replacement with no adverse effects is ongoing. A common drug still in widespread use is Pancuronium. More contemporary relaxants used today are rocuronium, mivacarium, and cisatracurium.
Narcotics like morphine, meperidine, and hydromorphone are still widey used for anesthetic purposes. Other shorter acting synthetic narcotics are: fentanyl, sufentanil, alfentanil, and the newest remifentanil.
Step 5: Post-operation
Upon completion of the procedure patients are taken to a recovery room or PACU post anesthetic care unit. There you will be monitored by PACU staff for residual side effects. Most surgeries are not followed by any anesthesia complications although it is important to be aware of certain post-operative side effects.
Some common side effects are drowsiness and mild pain including sore throat. Nausea and vomiting is another side effect that has become rarer with improvements in medication, but, may still occur. Chest infections and deep vein thrombosis are other factors associated with surgery and the likelihood could be decreased by early mobilization.

BHOPAL: Two sisters aged 4, and 6, caused the accidental death of their two-month-old sister in Narmadapuram district of Madhya Pradesh
while they tried to bathe her in a bucket like the teddy they were playing with.
The infant slipped from the hands of the two girls and landed inside the bucket. Unable to get her out, the panic-stricken girls put a lid on the bucket as the baby drowned and breathed her last.
Police were informed on March 22 that a two-month-old infant was missing from her home by her parents. The mother of the deceased said she had left the infant sleeping on the bed while her sisters were playing beside. Initially, when the family could not trace the infant, it was suspected that she was kidnapped.
But police during the search found the body of the kid in the bucket. Three days later, the cop's attention turned to the two sisters and when the police spoke to them, they revealed the truth behind the tragedy. The girls were so young and innocent that they had no idea what they had done wrong.
The sisters explained that they had been playing with their teddy bear while their mother was cooking in the kitchen. After their playtime, Rukhsar gave the teddy bear a bath and hung it outside to dry. The sisters then had the idea to bathe their 2-month-old sister, Anarja, in a bucket, just like they had done with their teddy bear. They took Anarja from her bed and brought her to the bathroom, where they began bathing her on the edge of the bucket. Unfortunately, things quickly got out of hand, and Anarja slipped and fell into the bucket.
The police concluded that the sisters had accidentally caused Anarja's death, but due to their young age, their actions were not considered a crime. According to Section 82 of the IPC, no offense committed by a child under the age of 7 can be registered, said Gurkaran Singh, SP Narmadapuram.

RAWALPINDI: Chairperson Defence of Human Rights Amina Masood Janjua met DG ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor here on Friday and discussed the issue of missing persons.
DG ISPR apprised her about the efforts that government and security forces are doing to facilitate them and address the issue for which judicial commission is working day and night.
He also apprised her about special directions and constitution of special assistance cell at the GHQ for assisting the process.
“Our hearts go with the families of missing persons being Pakistani. However, we must realise that not every person missing is attributable to state,” the military spokesperson said, adding that those with state are under legal process.
Still many individuals are there as part of TTP in Afghanistan and may be in other conflict zones elsewhere, he added.
DG ISPR said ‘more so there are many who got killed fighting as part of TTP against the state of Pakistan. Such individuals are also to be accounted somewhere while listing the missing persons.
Amina Masood Janjua acknowledged efforts by the state and security forces and for their empathy and support.
She also reiterated the pledge that affected families shall not allow any anti-state force to exploit their emotions against the interest of Pakistan.
She posed full confidence in state for getting the issue a logical closure.

I'm really glad I picked this up as an audio book at my library, and even happier I stuck with it in spite of a lot of repetition throughout. Some of the most interesting parts come towards the end, such as the rather dispassionate discussion of lynching. I suppose I'd imagined that lynchers wore their racism on their sleeves and felt no need to justify the act. In fact, there was an arsenal of rationalizations used to explain the necessity/morality of lynching. I was so scandalized to hear such ...more
I read this after reading "Up From Slavery", and Washington states many of the same ideas from his autobiography in this book. He believes the key to success for blacks in the south was an industrial education combined with the vaguely worded "Christian character". A solid read if you're new to Washington and his ideas, if you've read "Up From Slavery" you can probably skip this one. I think Washington's ideas are still very relevant today, only so much can be accomplished through politics.
I recently found out that I've married into an original copy of this book, autographed by Booker T. Washington. I picked it up and started reading and was totally engulfed.

“Frederick Douglass, of sainted memory, once, in addressing his race, used these words: "We are to prove that we can better our own condition. One way to do this is to accumulate property. This may sound to you like a new gospel. You have been accustomed to hear that money is the root of all evil, etc. On the other hand, property—money, if you please—will purchase for us the only condition by which any people can rise to the dignity of genuine manhood; for without property there can be no leisure, without leisure there can be no thought, without thought there can be no invention, without invention there can be no progress.”
“There are those among the white race and those among the black race who assert, with a good deal of earnestness, that there is no difference between the white man and the black man in this country. This sounds very pleasant and tickles the fancy; but, when the test of hard, cold logic is applied to it, it must be acknowledged that there is a difference,—not an inherent one, not a racial one, but a difference growing out of unequal opportunities in the past.”More quotes…

Dhadak differs from Sairat in gaze, not caste
There is a moment in Sairat that has stayed with me. About 90 minutes into the Marathi film as the Dalit protagonist Parshya is being hounded by his upper caste lover’s family, he seeks the counsel of a professor from his college. The professor, stinging from a recent rebuke at the hands of her family, tells Parshya to dump the girl if he has already slept with her. “After all, these people do the same thing to our women,” he reasons.
Parshya flies into a rage, and tells his teacher he loves Archie, and therefore cannot think of women like that, simultaneously both underlining and defying the ways caste shapes gender in India. If caste teaches us to dehumanise women, then in a moment’s rebellion, Parshya shatters the structure.
This sequence is one of several that didn’t make it to Sairat’s Hindi remake, Dhadak, which released last Friday. Several commentators have criticised the airbrushed characters, the lazy plot setting, and the acting that hobble Dhadak. But underneath the veneer of Bandhani shirts and “tharo-maro” hamming, something more insidious is going on.
Look at the families of the two male leads. In Sairat, Parshya’s family struggles against the village’s caste leadership, and in one scene in the second half of the film, the father is seen pleading with upper-castes to suspend a boycott as his son is as good as dead to him. The everyday ignominy of caste is mirrored in the lives of Parshya’s friends, and their family – and even a scene involving Archie defying community barriers by drinking water. Families in the neighbourhood are allowed joy, banter, jokes – not just submission.
In contrast, Dhadak doesn’t think necessary to create a world for Madhukar. His family has no community, and his friends are suspended in air – without culture, life and a society for them to seek, they are a nucleus onto themselves. Caste dictum is not shown as shaping public and private lives, but only in the singular matter of Madhukar and Parthavi’s love. It is as if the spectre of community censure recedes from the public sphere – so, there are no sequences on other lower-caste families – and exists only in the “pride” that Parthavi’s father Ratan Singh feels.
And because caste is not a structure in Dhadak, Madhukar’s uncle can reveal his family shunned him because he married a Marathi woman ( a story arc absent in Sairat), a clear indication director Shashank Khaitan thinks questions of honour and community are the same among Dalits and upper-castes.
This framing allows the makers to chop the elaborate chase-and-escape sequences. Archie and Parshya were fleeing a structure of power with roots in every sphere of life and politics, and therefore found themselves repeatedly pulled back into its throes (remember the scene where they take a bus, only to realise that it is going back to Bittergaon, or recognise that the police will do little to help them), but Madhukar and Parthavi are running away from family, not a structure, so the initial escape is painless.
In its clueless gaze, Dhadak amplifies Sairat’s weaknesses and glosses over its strengths. The disabled best friend is reduced to a trope and denied basic human dignity, or emotion, while women from the lower castes are completely erased. Madhukar’s mother simpers without much screen time, and the strong woman who had sheltered Parshya and Archie, and taught them how to survive in a difficult city, is swapped for a Bengali man in an inter-faith relationship, presumably for the director to cram in more progressive tropes. The housing itself is no longer among rag pickers, domestic workers, and waste workers – all occupations dominated by the lower castes – but some agnostic clot of buildings.
It is then no surprise the director’s choice of alternative ending to the film kills the Dalit man, while letting the upper-caste woman live, and then uses the frame of honour killing. Sairat didn’t need a trigger for the crime – it showed caste as an unrelenting machine whose function in the banal everyday is its strength – but Dhadak has to give Ratan Singh a reason – losing an election -- to be pushed to kill his son-in-law and grandson.
The difference between the two films, then, is not caste. What sets Sairat apart was its Dalit director, who depicted caste for its cold everyday function, and the terrible price it extracts for resistance and assertion. Dhadak’s gaze is upper-caste – the story it tells, therefore, is not about the crushing reality of the everyday but the exalted world of the dominant, where caste is but an aberration. Fittingly, therefore, the hammy Bollywood fiasco underscores that to be clueless about caste is to be the most casteist of all.

“I hear the call of the Aspects Above, but if I answer, whither will They lead me? I fear it is a path I alone travel. Not even my Beloved for a companion. I, alone.”
—The Codex of Jasal the Great
The fragile mica sheets of the pendant glowed in Mirana Pinal’s hand.
She had to warn her parents—all of Kinderra—that Trine Tetric Garis was a traitor. Thousands of miles lay between them though, an endless ocean of land. Would her father even acknowledge her call after she had left him? She had told them, her father and mother both, that she never wanted to see them again.
Tetric would expect her to call her father. No, she needed to call someone else.
Mirana opened herself to her Aspects as best she could. Without a true amulet to focus her powers, it would be difficult, but maybe Teague’s pendant would be strong enough.
Her Aspects wrapped themselves around the crystalline sheets. The delicate necklace would not be able to bear the full strength of her powers the way the flawless gemstone of a real amulet would, but it was all she had.
She searched for a living essence with her Aspects. Once, she had existed as only life’s music, when she was a babe unborn within her mother’s womb. Her mother was the melody, and she was the harmony. Her mother was the first life she had ever known. Separate, yet together as one. The same life music, in one, in both. Like her Trine Aspects.
She opened her heart to the world before her, heartbeats, the music of life. One of those notes was from her mother. She sought to deepen the connection, as she had contacted her father to warn him of the grynwen ambush. He had heard her.
But so had the Dark Trine.
Mirana abruptly dropped the connection to her mother.
A humid breeze drifted across the dry grass of Rün-Taran’s coastal headlands and tugged at her hair. It carried the exotic, heavy, almost cloying odor of humus and leaf decay. The jungles of Jad-Anüna province loomed to the northeast.
With that seemingly miraculous warning call to her father, she had unwittingly given away his location and that of the men and women of the elite strike force of the il’Kin. The Dark Trine had indeed found her father, but the wolf had arrived in the guise of a lamb, with her father none the wiser. If she reached her mother now, Tetric would do the same, only this time the wolf might show his fangs. Thousands of them.
She screamed at the sky with fury and unrequited grief. “Damn you, Tetric Garis! Damn you to the Underworld for all eternity!”
She had trusted him as the continent’s healer. Her healer. In the end, he had healed nothing. He had convinced her of the noble nature of the Power from Without. And she used that power to kill an innocent man. He had used her powers to murder two people. He had lied to her, corrupted her, betrayed her.
And she allowed it. All of it.
Her former patrua mentor had indeed guided her closer to her destiny. Only it was the one she had worked so hard to avoid. She had meant to save the ship on which they had traveled and its sailors from crashing into jagged shoals. Instead, she listened to her patrua’s lies and took the life force of a man in a fatal irony meant to save him. The Power from Without was not a different gift—no different lineage flowed in her veins to convey its bond. The Power from Without was a choice. A horrific, ruinous, addictive, murderous choice.
Instead of healing her from her fate of darkness, Tetric Garis had sealed it. She had allowed his beliefs to turn her treasonous against her own convictions. And so, her destiny of destroying all that she held dear was now that much closer.
Mirana knelt and covered her face with her hands. She could not cry. The hurt was too deep.
“You were supposed to save us. You were supposed to save me.”
Tetric knew her mind, her presence, her Aspects. He could find her anywhere. If she tried to warn anyone of who he truly was, he might kill her. Or the person she was trying to warn.
She could ride west; she could go home to Deren and warn her parents and the Fal’kin directly. She could leave this quest, with its harrowing keep writings portending suicide and its utter betrayal, behind. She could go home!
But if she did, Tetric would win.
Her former mentor would find some way of locating the last keep passage himself. He would gain control of the keep in Deren and its power. He would end the war, not by the cessation of hostilities, but by subjugating those he could. And those he couldn’t, he would kill. People like Teague.
Mirana held the pendant close to her heart. Three tiny, now-faded peda blossoms lay between whisper-thin sheets of mica encircled by a crude setting of tarnished gold. It was simply, beautifully made, so perfectly imperfect. It had been Teague’s pledge to her, his commitment to join his life to hers. A commitment she had broken. Irrevocably. To save his life.
Teague would have followed her on the quest to find the missing journal entries regarding the construction of Jasal’s Keep. But if he remained at her side, at some point, the Dark Trine would kill him. She had seen her beloved die in her recurring vision of Jasal’s Keep exploding in white light. A vision she knew to be as true and real as the air she breathed. A vision Teague had never believed.
To drive him from her, she had told him his lack of the magical and miraculous powers of the Aspects meant he no longer had a place in her life. She had shattered him, killing his love for her. Once something died, calling it back was impossible. Asking for both Teague’s love and Kinderra’s peace was asking too much.
Mirana stroked her horse’s coppery coat. Ashtar stood seventeen hands if he was an inch. His heart was the only thing greater than his strength. How long had she and Ashtar ridden after leaving Tetric? She could not recall the days.
She reached for the waterskin and poured water into the horse’s mouth.
“Here, you beautiful beast.”
The big chestnut eagerly lapped it up. She would drink after he had some. He couldn’t shut away his needs the way she could.
“I swear to you, Ashtar, get me to Caladazh ahead of Tetric, and you will have an entire lake of sweet water to yourself.”
When she found the last passage hidden somewhere in Trak-Calan, she would know what the keep was and how it saved Deren. She would know just what Jasal Pinal had done at his watchtower to stop the Ken’nar armies of Ilrik the Black. Tetric would not have to continue with his destructive plans. She could show him the way back to the Light from Within, to life.
She curled her hands into fists, dropping the waterskin. He didn’t deserve such kindness from her. His evil and deception had no bounds. He’d taken her own life forces to fuel his Power from Without, murdering Seer Prime Eshe Pashcot of Rün-Taran and her Defender Second Syne Develan. He had the blood of thousands on his hands. Those he had not killed outright, he took from them their capacity to direct their own lives with the Soul Harvest. Did such evil deserve redemption?
Mirana bent down and picked up the waterskin, studying it in her hands.
Was not the blood of more than one thousand Ken’nar lives on her own hands when she destroyed the bridges of Two Rivers Ford? Did she not drain a man’s life from him so thoroughly with the Power from Without that she killed him? Had she not forsaken her mother and father for a tyrant?
If the Dark Trine Tetric Garis was beyond hope of salvation, was she?
No. She could not go home. Not yet. She had to continue to find the last keep passage hidden somewhere in the mountain-locked learning hall of Caladazh far to the north.
She rummaged in a saddle bag for something to eat but found nothing.
“Oh, that’s not good.”
Mirana took out the precious alabaster cylinder with Jasal’s journal writings to search the bag further when it rattled in her hand.
“What?” She had been so overwhelmed by the revelations of Jasal’s writings that she hadn’t noticed there was something else in the container. She reached inside and felt a chain. She gasped. “It can’t be.” She pulled out the object.
The chain links, made of a lustrous metal purer than silver, gleamed in the fading daylight. Platinum? “No. Is this—?” The setting embraced half of a brilliant, colorless gem. A diamond.
“By the Light.”
This was the amulet from her unceasing keep vision. It was beautiful, stunning in fact. And possibly the deadliest object on the continent. Would she somehow wreak destruction on Kinderra by connecting to white light through the amulet?
Lightning flickered, flaring in the full bellies of the clouds, raising the question of a growing storm. Thunder answered, loud. She flinched. Her mount sputtered at the sound.
The oval diamond had been split in half, the setting clearly made to encircle a much larger gem. How could such a thing happen? Why?
The diamond’s facets glinted in the flashing storm. All other amulets she had ever touched cried out to her, demanded from her, forced themselves upon her. This one was different. Its call to her was tender. Gentle. Loving.
The amulet began to glow, warm and soothing in her hand. Not exactly a presence but a sense, a knowing, gently caressing her. The diamond.
It spoke to her. Only her.
She closed her eyes. The natural essence of the gem surrounded her, embraced her. Its essence was somehow both unique to the crystal yet mirrored hers. She opened her Aspects to the amulet. A sense of profound and utter peace surrounded her. The diamond’s life sense was now no longer a mere reflection of her life but was melding with her, merging with her.
“Wha-What is happening?”
She had chosen. She was chosen. Her Aspect connected, completed her soul, making her whole. At last.
She once told Teague—Was it only months ago? It seemed like lifetimes past—she was alone, alone in her Trine Aspects, alone in the dilemma of how to use them safely, alone in desiring and abhorring the choosing of an amulet. But this amulet—this amulet!—was hers. Jasal Pinal may have worn the diamond twelve hundred summers ago, but it now belonged to her. It told her so through a sense of conviction that defied explanation. She was no longer alone. The amulet was a part of her now, inseparable from her. And inseparable from the torturous knowledge she had gained by killing with the Power from Without. Never again would there be an amulet—or an Aspected—making choices for her.
“Ashtar, I might live or die by my decisions, but from now on, I will make my decisions to do the most good with all that I am. My Aspects. And my amulet.”
Mirana’s hands shook, her body both exhausted and exhilarated. And hungry.
Her stomach growled.
She laughed at the absurdity of the situation. “The most indescribable moment of my entire life, and what comes into my brain? The thought of Quartermaster Lasen’s beef stew. Maybe my next decision should be to find food? Saving the continent can come after—”
Like a wave speeding toward the shore, a reflection of Jasal’s presence broke over her. The world around her disappeared abruptly, drowning her in a remembrance.
She still held the amulet, but now it rested in another’s hands. What was happening? Desperation and determination consumed her, the emotions not hers.
This was the amulet of Jasal Pinal. His amulet was the only one known to be made of diamond and platinum, the rarest of substances in Kinderra.
She saw herself laying the amulet on a stone table. The table inside the Quorum chamber within Jasal’s Keep itself. Beyond the room, she heard screams, the clang of swords.
This was a memory, a memory seen through Jasal’s own eyes.
In one hand that was not her own, she held a sharp chisel, pressing its beveled tip against the diamond. She gripped a hammer in the other.
No. Aspects Above, no. Jasal was destroying his amulet.
The hammer came crashing down on the chisel. Agony exploded in her chest as if someone had driven a sword through her heart. Her knees buckled, her hip hitting the stones that covered the chamber’s floor. She pushed herself up, staggering to her feet. Again, she struck the amulet, crying out in anguish. Again. Again. Again!
She collapsed, the body that was not hers convulsing in pain. In her hand lay the bent setting of the amulet. It now held only half of the diamond. She tried to stand, but her legs would not allow it. She had to get up. She was running out of time. Once more, she hauled herself to her feet. The other half of the diamond lay on the stone table, torchlight shifting in its fractured facets. With Jasal’s hands, she grabbed the diamond shard and the amulet and staggered out of the chamber.
The sweet coastal grass snapped back into reality. Mirana lay on the ground, rain falling on her face. She clutched Jasal’s amulet in her hand.
He had shattered his amulet.
Each hammer stroke had felt as though he plunged a knife into his chest. Why in the name of the Aspects Above would he have done such a thing? Had he, too, seen destruction from his hands mediated by this very diamond? As she had, so very many times?
Slowly, she sat up and wiped the sweat and rain from her face. Was he trying to prevent himself from using his Aspects outside of himself? It wouldn’t have mattered if he’d destroyed his amulet. He was a Trine. He could have used any amulet.
Rank terror, cold and hard as steel, sliced through her again.
“What have I done?”
An amulet was supposed to be a wondrous, miraculous relic. The crystal allowed the living presence of the Light of the Aspects Above within the Fal’kin to be made manifest outside of themselves, a testament to their commitment to protect Kinderra. Every Choosing Ceremony for millennia, primes recited those words from the sacred book of the Ora Fal’kinnen.
In her hands, however, an amulet would spell doom. She had seen it in her vision of white light at Jasal’s Keep. She would wear an amulet, and Tetric would try to take it from her. To stop him, she would destroy him and everything else in an explosion of blinding light—including herself.
She gripped the chain to remove the amulet but paused.
She knew she would die at Jasal’s Keep; she had never seen anything beyond the white light. But maybe that sense of glorious finality had been reserved only for her. Maybe she hadn’t engulfed Kinderra in an otherworldly pyre of radiance. Maybe she would destroy only herself and the amulet, preventing Tetric from having it, and thus save Kinderra. But she would never know until she found the last of the Codex writings.
Mirana threw herself over her saddle.
“Ashtar, we must get to Caladazh. We’re running out of time.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Ben Carson said Tuesday that despite comments he made over the weekend to the contrary, he has been clear that he does not believe Muslims should be prevented from becoming president.
The retired neurosurgeon clarified that his concern is that the president prioritize the U.S. Constitution over his or her faith.
“It has nothing to do with being a Muslim. That was the question that was specifically asked,” he said at a news conference in Sharonville, Ohio. “If the question had been asked about a Christian and they had said, ‘Would you support a Christian who believes in establishing a theocracy?’ I would have said, ‘No.'”
On Sunday, during an appearance on “Meet the Press,” NBC’s Chuck Todd asked Carson, “Do you believe that Islam is consistent with the Constitution?”
“No, I do not,” Carson responded. “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that.”
But on Tuesday, the former Sunday School teacher said he does not particularly care about the faith of the country’s highest leader.
“I don’t care what a person’s religion beliefs are or religious heritage is,” he said. “If they embrace our Constitution and are willing to place that above their religious beliefs, I have no problem with that.”
In a post on Facebook on Monday night, Carson outlined his position, though he included the requirement that a Muslim candidate would have to disavow Sharia law in order to get his support.
“I could never support a candidate for President of the United States that was Muslim and had not renounced the central tenant of Islam: Sharia Law,” he wrote. “I know that there are many peaceful Muslims who do not adhere to these beliefs. But until these tenets are fully renounced … I cannot advocate any Muslim candidate for President.”
Carson attempted to shift the conversation Tuesday, saying that it is not an urgent topic.
“When the situation arises and we have somebody in that situation, let’s talk about it then,” he said. “There’s so many issues that are going on right now in this country. And why is that people are not interested in the important issues that are going on?”


LSU crushed by Alabama 21-0 despite ranking
LSU, rated No. 1, loses to Alabama, ranked second, in BCS championship.
The Rematch of the Century, it wasn't.Skip to next paragraph

Good enough for No. 1, if not a lot of style points.
No. 2 Alabama posted the first shutout in the 14-year history of the BCS, relying on Jeremy Shelley's right leg for most of the points — he made a bowl record-tying five field goals — and letting its defense do the rest. The Crimson Tide romped to a 21-0 victory over the Tigers for its second BCS title in three years.
While only crimson-clad fans will remember this one as a thing of beauty, Alabama (12-1) erased any doubts that it deserved to be in the title game over another one-loss team like Oklahoma State or Stanford.
Then again, one of those teams might have actually scored a touchdown before Alabama finally did, with 4:36 left in the game, long after fans may have flipped to something more entertaining than a one-sided kicking contest. Amazingly, these Southeastern Conference powerhouses played twice in a span of about two months, and never came that close to one of those things that's worth six points — you know, touchdowns — until Trent Richardson broke off a 34-yard run with 4:36 remaining.
It only took 115 minutes, 34 seconds, plus an overtime period in their first meeting.
LSU (13-1) had beaten eight ranked teams — including Alabama in early November — to establish itself as the clear No. 1 going into the bowls, but the Tigers crossed midfield only once in the sequel to the Game of the Century in Tuscaloosa. Instead of putting up a "Godfather II," this one was more akin to "Speed 2."
The Tigers were outgained 384-92 in total yards, managed a puny five first downs and didn't cross the 50 until there were just 8 minutes left. From there, they went back, back, back — the last gasp ending appropriately with beleaguered quarterback Jordan Jefferson getting the ball knocked from his hand before he could even get off a fourth-and-forever pass.

I’m probably committing a culinary sin by saying this, but Thanksgiving dinner really isn’t that difficult. Time consuming, yes. Impressive on the table, sure. But dishes like mashed potatoes and stuffing are actually super easy.
My favorite stuffing recipe—with sausage, bread and sage—epitomizes the way I like to cook. You don’t need a lot of measuring or exact proportions. You just add ingredients until you’re happy with how it looks and tastes.
Here’s how I make Thanksgiving stuffing. Give it a try next week, and add your own twist!
- Dry/stale bread. Tear up artisanal breads and leave them out overnight, or toast a loaf of plain white bread in the oven.
- A bag of store-bought stuffing mix. I know it feels like cheating, but you’re just using this for extra seasoning and more bread variety.
- A pound of country sausage. The kind that crumbles when you brown it.
- Celery, chopped into small pieces. How many stalks? I don’t know. How much do you like celery?
- An onion, also chopped into small pieces. Or half an onion. No big whoop.
- Butter or oil for sauteeing.
- Chicken or turkey stock. Buy a couple of cans/boxes or make your own. How? Purchase extra turkey wings and bake until brown and crisp. Transfer to a stock pot and cover with water, adding onion and seasonings such as sage, salt and thyme. Simmer a couple of hours, then strain. Voila! Delicious turkey broth!
- Turkey giblets, if you like. My mom used to sautee the liver, etc. and add those to the mix.
- Sage, thyme, salt, pepper, etc. Fresh or dried, it doesn’t matter.
- Whatever else you want. Raisins. Dried cranberries. Sauteed mushrooms. Nuts. Bacon. Get creative!
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees
- Brown sausage and giblets, if using.
- Sautee onion and celery until tender.
- Tear bread into small chunks or cut into squares. Put into a large bowl with the store-bought mix.
- Add browned sausage, onion and celery to the bread and stir to combine.
- Pour chicken or turkey stock over everything, stirring to moisten. Use a bit less if you like your stuffing more dry.
- Season to taste. Seriously, don’t be afraid to taste as you go!
- Add raisins, mushrooms, nuts… whatever extras you’d like.
- Stuff turkey with half of the mixture. Put the other half into a greased casserole dish and bake until top is brown and crispy.

I was at the track the other day with another sprinter, Sabra (a paraolympic national team member and national record holder in the 100 and 200!) and we had a long conversation about buying running clothes and shoes. There is nothing in the world I like to buy more than running clothes and shoes. Sabra also likes to buy running stuff, but she seems to have it under control. This conversation lead me to look at my running clothes collection. First of all, let me say that I prefer Nike and adidas apparel above all. Say what you want about the companies, they design the best-fitting and best-looking stuff on the whole. I've also been a Nike shoe girl, but recently I stockpiled some awesome Asics that were on mega-sale.
In my inventory, I have 10 pairs of running shorts, 5 pairs of capri tights, 5 pairs of full-length tights, 5 pairs of running pants, 3 crop tops, 14 tank tops, 6 short-sleeved shirts, 10 long-sleeved shirts, 5 half-zip pullovers and 3 fleece vests. Of course, as with all other clothing, I have favorites that get worn more than the others, but in general, I'd say that almost everything is worn regularly during its season. Here are a couple of my favorites from the current season:

RCM's dry sump system is engineered as the ultimate solution for resolving Subaru oil supply issues. The dry sump oil pump mounts directly to the supplied oil pan and is driven from the timing belt idler via a cogged belt. The pressure stage feeds pressurized oil to the engine via a CNC machined cover that bolts in place of the original oil pump. A non-oil cooler water pump is supplied in order to eliminate the factory oil cooler water pipe that would otherwise interfere with the oil pump drive. Fittings and hardware are supplied to complete the installation.
The dry sump system reduces residual oil and crankshaft windage and improves ring sealing by generating a slight vacuum in the crankcase. Oil starvation issues with the factory oil pan and oil drainback system are effectively eliminated by allowing the use of a high capacity external oil reservoir. Minimal oil pan/pump height allows for increased ground clearance.
A dry sump oil tank and interconnecting hoses must be fabricated or supplied by the installer or end user as these parts are not included in the kit. Professional installation is highly recommended.


Nokia was always a popular brand in Brazil, and Nokia Mobile knows that. The Finns are bringing calvary of their latest affordable Nokia smartphones and feature phones. New Nokia phones announced in Brazil are the Nokia G11 or the super scaled-down version of their current best Nokia X30.
The phone comes with a large 6.5-inch screen that has a 90Hz refresh rate, a 50 MP main camera, and a large 5000 mAh. All is powered by Unisoc T606 we met at Nokia T10. The other phones are also nice entry-level devices meant for all of those that just need a durable and simple smartphone that will do the basics just well.
The prices are not yet revealed at the Nokia shop since devices are yet to be launched. However, the price could be below 750 BRL for G11 Plus since that is the price of C31 in Brazil. If you do stumble upon these Nokia phones in Brazil, do share the prices.
I am not sure whether Nokia Mobile is bringing more powerful devices to the Brazilian market in the near future, since Nokia X30 has proven to be a decent midrange smartphone.
