This made them the first victim of Islamic terrorism in The United States, which goes to show that bookselling can be a dangerous business. They never stopped selling the book.
Added note from Andy Ross:
My agency represents books in a wide range of non-fiction genres including but not limited to: narrative non-fiction, science, journalism, history, and current events . We also represent literary, commercial, and YA fiction. For non-fiction I look for writing with a strong voice, robust story arc, and books that tell a big story about culture and society by authors with the authority to write about their subject. In fiction, I like stories about real people in the real world. I don't work with: poetry, short stories, art and photography, adult science fiction and fantasy, romance, horror, and YA paranormal. I am a member of the Association of Author Representatives (AAR). Check out my website and blog, "Ask the Agent".

Child's Play Jake takes over the hosting for this episode since this was Don's introduction into the horror genre, and surprisingly Jake gets through it just fine. So we watched Child's Play and let Don talk about his feelings and the movie. Plus how we could use a demented child in a haunt.
Nightmare On Elm Street In this episode Jake goes into detail about his introduction into the horror genre with 1984's Nightmare On Elm Street. We then go into the nitty gritty of adding a boiler room setting to a haunt, rigging up a way to drag cast members around rooms with a pulley system, and briefly tease the next episode which will be all about stretch walls.
Salem's Lot Jake, Jan, and Don watched Salem's Lot and discuss how this was Jan's introduction into the horror genre, as well as how they would best utilize aspects of the movie in our ideal haunted house setting.
Us Movie Review In a pre-launch special event, Jake, Jan, and Don went to the theaters and watched the new suspense thriller by Jordan Peele, Us. Immediately after viewing they sat and recorded a review that was nearly as long as the movie itself.
Welcome to the Fountain of Fear podcast. Here is a small taste of what's to come while we build up a small buffer of episodes to share with you all. In the future you can expect to hear us dive into such movies as Salem's Lot, the original Nightmare On Elm Street, and American Werewolf in London.

Tennis injuries, anyone?
More than 78,000 tennis-related injuries are treated every year
Expert: Pros tend to develop chronic problems, amateurs get acute injuries
To protect your aging body, don't play if you are already hurt
Pick racket and shoes carefully; they can influence how you play
By Val Willingham
CNN Medical Producer
(CNN) -- Pick a day -- any day -- and you'll probably find Sean Bugg on the courts. A tennis fanatic, he's been playing the sport since he was 9 years old. Now at age 41, Bugg is definitely feeling the pain from his game.
Sean Bugg, 41, has been playing tennis since he was 9. Despite injuries, he continues to hit the court.
"I've had elbow injuries, shoulder problems, sprained ankles, stiff wrists, pretty much everything has hurt at one time or another," he confesses. "And sometimes I still feel it." In fact, he packs three different braces -- two for his feet and one for his arm -- along with his other gear when he plays, just in case.
A lot of people may wonder if Bugg is an obsessed, racket-wielding masochist. Sports medicine specialists say no. They say Bugg is like plenty of other tennis players: He just loves the game. Unfortunately, tennis goes hand-in-hand with injury.
According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, more than 78,000 tennis-related injuries are treated in hospitals, doctors' offices, clinics, ambulatory surgery centers and hospital emergency rooms every year. Although some of these injuries are accidental, many are the result of poor form, poor conditioning, poor equipment or poor flexibility.

Dr. George Branche, an orthopedic surgeon in Northern Virginia and the medical director of the Legg Mason Tennis Tournament in Washington, D.C., knows all too well the injuries that tennis can cause -- he's a player himself. He says displaced hips, torn ligaments, even back problems can happen to the most seasoned pros, such as Andy Roddick and Roger Federer.
"So you can imagine the injuries in nonprofessionals," Branche says. "Unless you're in the best physical condition to handle the directional changes and pounding, it will take a big toll on your body." Watch more on how to prevent tennis injuries »
Branche says professional tennis players tend to suffer from chronic injuries that affect the back, shoulders, hips and knees. A lot of those injuries, Branche says, are due to the long tennis season and the technique of the player. Among amateurs, acute injuries are more common -- such as twisted ankles, torn tendons and foot injuries -- because many of these athletes are not in the proper shape.
So, what is the best way to avoid injury? Orthopedists recommend starting with some simple stretches. Studies have shown that cold muscles are more prone to injury. "Tennis involves a lot of spontaneous motion. You don't know where your opponent is hitting the ball," Branche says, noting that flexibility is critical to the sport. "There's a lot of reactionary movement. There's a lot more stress on your body than if you know which direction you are going."
Health Minute archive
Sports medicine physicians also say to be aware of the type of court you play on. Professional tennis players play on different surfaces (grass, clay, asphalt or synthetic) throughout the year and train accordingly. Grass and clay are the softest -- and the easiest on the body. Weekend warriors tend to play on harder surfaces. The harder the surface, the less "give" it has, leading to more injuries.
Bugg says he usually plays on asphalt, and after a two-hour game, he can feel it in his lower back. He was pleasantly surprised when he played on a clay court a few weeks ago, while on vacation in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. He found that even after hours of tennis, his back didn't hurt.
Doctors say Bugg's experience is not unusual. To cut down on lumbar injuries, they recommend wearing heel inserts to absorb the shock when playing on hard surfaces.
MayoClinic.com: Tennis elbow
Also, experts say, pick your equipment carefully. Branche stresses proper shoes and the right racket are crucial for a healthy game. "There are a lot of different rackets these days," he says."You need to look at how they are weighted, how you string your racket -- those are all variables that can influence how you can play."
Bugg says a lot of his injuries have been caused by impatience. Although hurt, he would return to the court before being fully recovered. Branche says that's a huge mistake. "Any athlete, professional or non, needs to allow time to heal before going back to any game," he warns. "You could reinjure yourself or injure other body parts that aren't as conditioned as they should be."
Bugg suspects he should cut back on the number of hours of tennis he plays. He's thinking about taking lessons to help with his backhand and overall form. He wants to improve his game -- not only to win more matches, but to stay healthy so he can stay in the game for a long time to come.

You can expect home maintenance needs to arise throughout the course of your life as a homeowner and the type of challenges vary throughout the seasons. For instance, Spring maintenance is slightly different from Fall maintenance. Regardless of the season, here are a few categories of home maintenance to think about as a new homeowner.
Check the wooden panels for any signs of sealant loss, cracks, or loose nails. The seal applied to different woods keeps them from getting damaged by water. Extreme conditions can cause the wood to crack. Give the deck a thorough examination to make sure everything looks good. Spill some water to see if the wood absorbs it or repels it. If it's no longer repelling water, then it's time to give the deck another coat of sealant.
After moving into your new home, make sure to check the condition of your air filters. Dirty filters not only contain harmful pollutants, but also increase your energy bill by making the HVAC system less efficient. They can also be extremely bad for your health, especially for those with allergies or asthma. If the filters look dirty, make sure to replace them. If the situation looks complicated, consider hiring a HVAC technician to inspect the filters and replace as needed.
Paint provides a protective coating to the exterior and fittings. Check the lower and upper sections for any peeling or chipped paint. If you find a small damaged area, consider taking care of it yourself. Here are some useful tips on repairing peeling paint.
Keeping the gutters on your roof flowing is extremely important for maintaining the condition of your home. Water collected in a clogged gutter can reach inside the house through the roof. Remove the leaves, twigs and other debris from the gutters and roof valleys and then check with flowing water to ensure its clear.
Inspect the plumbing for any leaks or worn out parts and check walls and ceilings for leakages as well. If you notice any problems areas, it's important to hire a professional. Before calling a neighborhood plumber, check to see if your home warranty covers the repair to save yourself some money.
Similar to the HVAC system, a malfunctioning furnace can not only increases the energy bill but may also release harmful gases into the atmosphere and make it difficult to hear your home. You can also call a HVAC technician to help you resolve any furnace-related issues.
To avoid any unexpected disasters, check all of the smoke detectors installed in the house. Most devices have a test mode—if the alarm doesn't ring in the test mode, replace the batteries and try again. If you have any doubts about the reliability, invest in a new one.

Q: Derivative of Velocity with respect to to Distance and vice versa Can anyone kindly explain to me that if  $\frac{d}{dt}(x) = x^{'}$ then what's $\frac{d}{dx}(x^{'}) $ and $\frac{d}{dx^{'}}(x)$?

A: Let me assume x = x(t) , hence the velocity can be determined as mentioned above $$ \frac{d x}{dt}= x'$$, suppose x(t) is of class $C^k$ where k $\geq$ 2. therefore atleast higher derivatives, upto order 2, of x exists and continuous everywhere. The derivatives can be represented as below  $$x'=x'(t)$$ $$x''=x''(t)$$.  Your question : Chain rule method $$(\frac{d}{dx})x'=\frac{dx'}{dt}\frac{dt}{dx}$$ simplify, algebraically $$(\frac{d}{dx})x'=\frac{x''}{x'}$$ similarly, solution to next one is arrived.$$ (\frac{d}{dx'})x =\frac{x'}{x''}$$

Program saves over 3 tons of carbon per clunker per year.
She appeared with Ms. Collins, who said she and Ms. Feinstein had been promised by Senate leadership that if the program were extended, tighter mileage rules would be considered. But, Ms. Collins said, vehicles being purchased under the program would go an average of 9.6 more miles per gallon than those being turned in, which she said was a 61 percent improvement.
As I read the numbers, the average clunker being traded in got about 15.7 miles per gallon, and the average new vehicle got about 25.3 mpg. Over a typical year's worth of driving, that's a savings of about 288 gallons of gas—or roughly 3 and a half tons of carbon dioxide per clunker.
I'm not sure if the cash for clunkers program is a particularly cost-effective way of reducing carbon emissions. But the success of the program is certainly a good reminder that significant reductions in CO2 emissions are within easy reach—and that, given the right incentives, consumers have quite a hankering for efficient cars.

This is about the dumbest piece of journalism I have ever read. "you're not sure if the cash for clunkers program is cost effective but reduction in emissions are still within easy reach???? it CAN'T be easy if it is not cost effective. This weak reporting only makes our job more difficult. I'm all for conserving resources. It makes basic sense. But this disjointed logic is just fuel for the opposition.
Duh..The car you have pictured is from 1973 or 1974 and does not qualify as it is older than 25 years from date of manufacture (Not model year).
A better rundown of the numbers is at the New York Times today. Apparently, the average clunker gets 15.8 mpg, and the average new car sold under the program is 25.4 mpg.Laurel—I suspect you're right. Typically, there's a "rebound effect" with this sort of thing, with cheaper driving leading to more driving. I shaved a bit off my estimate to account for this, but it's possible that I'm being too optimistic.
Hey Clark:I consider myself to be relatively environmentalist and I must admit that I despise the Cash for Clunkers program. It was an odd feeling to find myself on the same side as conservative Republicans, it really doesn't happen to me often.Anyway, my feelings are: while improving the country's automobile fleet efficiency is probably a good thing, reducing the size of the country's automobile fleet is way better. I think the $3 billion dedicated so far to Cash for Clunkers would have been better spent trying to get our country out of their cars, rather than giving them new ones. (Put another way: how much public transit can you finance with the "cash" in Cash for Clunkers?)Second, I am somewhat concerned they're destroying the old cars (correct me if I'm wrong here, I'm almost certain I'm not). Not only does all this building of new cars and destruction of old cars have a ridiculously larger carbon footprint in long run than switching out of cars altogether, some of the "clunkers" could still be more efficient than other clunkers – or, in essence, if the government has a bunch of 15 mpg clunkers, they might do well to allow people with 8 mpg clunkers to switch up. The way it works right now is a 15 mpg clunker can trade to a 25 mpg car, but the 15 mpg clunker then goes to waste. Seems a little weird.Finally, I don't like the false sense of ecological security programs of this sort – much like LEED big box stores – might create. It's important to remember no matter how shiny and sustainable the Prius might seem, it still pales in comparison to a good bike. I fear this might be a little government greenwashing.Anyway, hope to hear more of your thoughts on this, I'm willing to be convinced Cash for Clunkers is a score. But even the Times' numbers, encouraging as they might be in terms of nationwide MPG, hardly suggest to me this idea not a setback, let alone a success, for those of us working for sustainability.
Thanks to John & Connie Jo Blumthal for supporting a sustainable Northwest.

Q: Probability that a random walker crosses a moving point A random walker starts at $x_0=0$ and walks left or right with probability 1/2; let $x_n$ be the walker's position at time $n$.
Meanwhile, a point starts at $y_0=0$ and moves constantly to the right, such that $y_n=\sqrt{2 n\ln n}$.
What is the probability that there exists some $n\geq 100$ for which the walker is to the right of the point ($x_n>y_n$)?
Here is what I know:

*

*For any specific $n\geq 100$, the probability that $x_n>y_n$ is at most $1/n \leq 1/100$; this is an outcome of Azuma's inequality. However, the probability that there exists some $n$ for which $x_n>y_n$ is probably larger than 1/100.

*By the union bound, the probability is at most $\sum_{i=100}^N (1/i) \approx \ln(N)-\ln(100)$. But, since $\ln(N)>1$, this bound is useless.
Is there a better upper bound on the probability that $\exists n\geq 100: x_n>y_n$?

A: Approximate $x_t$ with Brownian motion $W_t$ and consider continuous time instead. The result D30 on page 99 in Probability Approximations via the Poisson Clumping Heuristic by Aldous states that if $P(W_t>y_t)$ is small for $t>t_0$ (usually taken as at least 3 standard deviations from the mean) and $y(s)$ grows roughly as $s^{\frac 1 2}$, then for $$\lambda(s)=s^{-3/2}(y(s)-sy'(s))\phi(s^{-{\frac 1 2}}y(s))\tag 1$$
$$P(W_t\le y_t: t\ge t_0)\approx \exp(-\int_{t_0}^\infty\lambda(s)\,ds)$$
where $\phi$ is density of standard normal. Plugging in $y(s)$, for $t_0\ge 90$ we get:
$$P(\exists t\ge t_0: W_t>y_t)\approx 1-\exp(-\frac {\sqrt{\log t_0}} {2\sqrt \pi t_0}(1-\frac 1{\log t_0}))\approx \frac {\sqrt{\log t_0}} {\sqrt 2\sqrt {2\pi} t_0}(1-\frac 1{\log t_0})\approx 0.005$$
for $t_0=100$. Compare this with $P(W_{t_0}>y_{t_0})\sim \frac {\phi(\sqrt{2\log t_0})}{\sqrt{2\log t_0}}=\frac 1{\sqrt{2\pi}}\frac 1{t_0\sqrt{2\log t_0}}$ which is a factor of $\log t_0$ less.

A couple of weeks ago, one of our writers popped in a blog entry concerning "writer's block." The writer seemed concerned that his creativity had disappeared and was unsure as to how to get it back. I have a few suggestions that may help him out. Firstly, don't feel unique. There was this composer of music by the name of Beethoven who once took a five-year break from composing. When he returned, he came back with a vengeance. His last three symphonies, sketches for a tenth symphony, his later string quartets, piano sonatas, and some very fine string trios comprised his output before his death. They are all considered excellent and ahead of their time. Secondly, there was a very fine writer named Asimov. He wrote science fiction. He took a three-year break upon the birth of his son. When he returned to writing, his first publication was "The Foundation." Enough said. Thirdly, there was this writer of horror by the name of King. He took a one-year break when he found out that he was losing his eyesight. When he returned, "The Tommyknockers" was published. So, my friend, you are not alone. Every painter, sculptor, writer, composer, and artist has gone into a funk at some point in his or her activity. Now, how does one deal with it? I wish I could give you a hard and fast answer. I don't have one. What I can give you is a basic idea as to how I deal with it. And I have been writing for twenty-five years. I know this works for me. When I begin a story line, I work from an outline. My goal is to tell the story in fifteen hundred to three thousand words. That goal is almost never achieved, as pretty much anything I have posted shows. I begin by expanding the outline. As I expand the outline, I make changes. This part gets moved here, that part there, etc. Usually the expansion grows to where I am actually writing prose very quickly. Now, every so often I get blocked. Things just aren't working. This character seems out of place. That setting is wrong. The plot isn't making sense anymore. Don't panic! And don't worry. It will resolve itself. What you need are a few things to clear your thought processes and get your creativity unblocked. I usually am working on two stories at the same time. I just move to the other story. Sometimes that works. Sometimes it doesn't. No matter. When I write, I visualize a character. I usually go to the web and download a picture to help with the visualization. For instance, in my vampire story, the visual of Jack is taken from the PC game "Vampire-Bloodlines-Masquerade." It may be that my visual is wrong. Sometimes downloading a different picture helps clear the block. Sometimes it is the name of the character. A simple name change can make a world of difference. No one can possibly picture Ebenezer Scrooge saying, "God Bless Us, Everyone." Sometimes I re-order my chapters. Once again, introducing Jack in my vampire story made a world of difference. The story originally began with the introduction of the detective, Gregory Bates. If none of that works, I read. Yes, I read an awful lot. But I sit down, put some music on the hi-fi, and read. What do I read? A stereo equipment magazine. A classic. Something new. Anything that pops into my hands is fodder for my eyes. I may even watch television or rent a movie. That is how my review for "The Polar Express" took shape. Usually, after a few days, the solution to the problem pops into my brain. Then it is back to the keyboard for the hard work of utilizing the solution. After some pushing and shoving, I am over the block. So, my fellow writer, don't panic, and don't worry. The very fact that you are posting on The Den means you have some creative talent, and the courage to express it. We all burn out at times from different things and for a variety of reasons. Be patient. It will come back to you. Peace.
Thank you so much! This really helped me out!
As knowledgeable and eloquent as ever. I find myself using these techniques as well. Reading and music really helps me to get the creative juices flowing. I also have 3 stories I've been putting together at the same time for the very same reason you listed. However, Ancestor has been the big one lately that I've been finding story easier for. Thanks so much for the tips in this post and of course all the tips you've given on my writings as well. We can all learn from your experience.
Thank you so much for these words!
Blocks are a pain, and these tips are really helpful!

The Galax Old Fiddlers' Convention is the largest and oldest fiddlers' convention in the world, so it's no surprise that it's been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records.
The first time was back in 2012 at the 77th Galax Old Fiddlers' Convention where 389 mandolin players set the record for largest mandolin ensemble. Later the same year an ensemble in Greece topped Galax's number by 25.
In 2015 Tara Linhardt planned to retake the record and beat the Greek record by so much that they wouldn't be able to take the record again.

CCPS seeks waiver for athletics facility
Published 12:28 pm Friday, December 23, 2016
By Seth Littrell
The planning process for an athletic facility at George Rogers Clark High School will have to take a detour to the Kentucky Board of Education next year.
Clark County Schools Superintendent Paul Christy said the Kentucky Department of Education sent the district notice it is unable to approve schematics presented to and approved by the Clark County Board of Education in November because they are too large.
"KDE has a model that they go by based on the population of the school," Christy said. "You're allocated so much space based on the number of students that you have per their building regulations."
The schematic for a 60,000-square-foot athletics facility, which Christy said was put together by architects after speaking with administrators, teachers, students and others in the school system, exceeds KDE's guidelines by about 40,000 square feet.
He said part of the reason for the overage is related to the size of hallways, aisles, restrooms and other portions of the facility that were widened to be comparable with the rest of the high school it will be attached to.
"Sixty-eight percent of a building must be used for the exact purposes or events that you plan on hosting there," Christy said. "The remaining percentage is your hallways, your restrooms, concession areas, the aisleways between the seats in the gym, and in order to keep it in line with what we've done in the high school proper, we went a little bit over on that. We felt we needed the additional hallway space so it's not crowded."
Another reason for the overage stems from the extra activity rooms planned for the faciltiy, including an arts and humanities room, a health education room and a room for GRC's JROTC program. The additional spaces were added based on what were determined to be the needs of some of the programs at the school, Christy said.
Administrative Director of Operations Donald Stump said the district, upon approval from the Clark County Board of Education Tuesday night, will seek a waiver from the state board of education. The district is sending a letter to KDE requesting to be added to the February agenda of the state board so administrators can make their case as to why the plans should be approved.
"When you actually exceed the square footage that's allowed by KDE based on their formula … then the facilities branch at KDE doesn't have the authority to approve a size beyond what that formula mandates," Stump said. "So you go before the state board of education and ask them for a waiver to exceed that formula. That's what we asked our board to do the other day."
The process is not uncommon, Christy said, and the state recently granted a waiver to Fayette County Schools for a construction project under similar circumstances.
Christy and Stump said having to appear at a state BOE meeting will not delay the planning process for the athletics facility.
"We're still moving forward," Christy said. "The architects are still moving forward with the design process. We'll just have more of the paperwork done when we are ready to go."
FOCUS ON MULTI-FUNCTIONALITY
Christy said the situation is indicative of a trend among school systems to seek more multi-functional spaces in their facilities.
"Now a gym is not just a gym," Christy said. "It's an indoor theater, it's a place for graduation, it's a place for communities to have things. Another county I'm familiar with just a couple counties over has a fundraiser and they have a concert in theirs."
Stump said one of the stronger arguments for Clark County to be granted a waiver is the fact the county needs a space to host indoor graduations.
"We don't have a great deal of options for an indoor graduation ceremony," he said. "We can go to Lexington or Richmond and rent others' facilities but if the weather is inclement during our graduation, our only option is to keep cancelling and rescheduling until we have weather that's conducive to an outside setting."
With seating estimated for about 4,000 people, the planned facility would meet that need. Christy said the space could also be put to use for other purposes in the community when not being used by the schools.
"It's not just a gymnasium, it's so much more than that," Christy said.
Christy said he is confident the state board will approve what has already been planned for the facility. Even if the board does take issue with the size of the planned facility, Christy said it will allow the district to get more specific information about what the issued with and how to correct them.
Stump said a good sign as the district begins the waiver process is that KDE has already given approval to initial planning documents which originally projected even more seating than is currently planned.
POSSIBLE SILVER LINING
Christy said the need for the school board to seek a waiver could, in fact, present a silver lining of sorts once the 2017 General Assembly begins.
Some state representatives have talked about legislation to make changes to prevailing wage law, which sets an hourly base wage for workers on public works projects that are estimated to cost more than $250,000.
If changes are made to exempt school districts from prevailing wage laws, the total cost of the project could be drastically reduced.
"And if that came to fruition, we could look at other needs on our district facilities plan that could be addressed in the future as well," Stump said.

It was Montage Mountain Ski Area then Sno Mountain and now it is once again Montage Mountain. Whatever the name, Montage Mountain, Scranton, PA, is one of the biggest and best of all the Poconos ski resorts.
Located just a few miles from downtown Scranton, only a few hours from Philadelphia, Montage Mountain ski resort has a vertical drop of 1,000 feet, just a few short of the states largest (Blue Mountain Ski Resort). The summit is at 1960 feet, but the ski area parking lot is at neither the top nor the bottom, but at mid-mountain. This means you can boot up and ski your first run without waiting for a lift.
Depending on your ability, you may want to take a lift first anyway. The top of Montage Mountain ski resort is rated mostly green and blue, and several lifts serve this area. Experts will want to ski the steeper runs toward the bottom, although at times the snow isn't as good. Also, you need to go all the way to the top to take advantage of the longer runs which the full vertical drop provides. The steepest section on Montage Mountain—and one of the steepest runs anywhere in the state—runs about 300 feet on the headwall of double-black rated White Lightning, which drops off at an impressive 30 degrees below the parking lot (all the way skiers left from the Phoebe chair). Stick to the Phoebe chairlift to loop this and the other blacks at the bottom or head up the Long Haul lift to get the full vertical drop.
The top of Long Haul access several blue slopes, and upper-level intermediates should not struggle with the single-black runs down to its base. Near the summit of Montage Mountain ski resort, Switch trail has a NASTAR racing course. Next to that, Whistler trail has a smaller terrain park and Spike has a longer one. You can loop these on the Iron Horse lift.
From the lodge, the Shuttle lift serves gentle green runs, including winding Easy Street and the wider Highball. There's also a kiddies learning area right next to the lodge.
In addition to the skiing, Montage Mountain also claims the longest snow tubing runs in Pennsylvania, with designated lifts near the lodge. In the summer, it transforms into a water park.
Formerly land owned by the Pennsylvania Gas & Water Co., the original Montage Mountain Ski Area was developed by the county government of Lackawanna County using federal economic development funds. Purchased by the county in 1979, Mountage Mountain Ski Area opened to the public in December 1984. Lackawanna County divested its holdings, and sold the ski area to a Philadelphia-based investment group for $5.1 million in 2006. The ski area operated as Snö Mountain until 2013, and Sno Mountain LP invested $3 million in snow-making equipment, added new ski trails, and built a terrain park. The group also spent $12 million to build a water park, which opened in 2008. The investment did not pay off, and the company defaulted on a $5 state loan and filed for bankruptcy in 2012 with $24 million in debt. The new owners, real estate company Jefferson-Werner, restored the Montage Mountain name when it bought the ski resort in May 2013 for $5.1 million.

A group of Indian American investors and business leaders has purchased a controlling interest in a community bank based in Stockbridge, Ga. They include Mukesh "Mike" Patel, R.C. Patel, Dhiru "Danny" Patel, Mukund "Bobby" Patel, Narendra "Tony" Patel, Dr. Gopal Rao and Burt Blackmon. Having renamed it High Trust Bank, they've announced plans to expand operations to Atlanta, Macon and Savannah. Mike Patel serves as chairman of the new High Trust Bank, a position similar to the one he holds at Atlanta-based Haven Trust Bank, which opened in January of 2000 and has grown to about $425 million in assets. According to R.C. Patel, CEO of Diplomat Companies and Haven Trust Bank who serves as vice chairman of High Trust Bank, "High Trust will focus on commercial and residential lending that is targeted towards the next generation of borrowers." Currently, High Trust Bank has assets of $25 million and an experienced staff of community banking professionals that's headed by 31-year veteran Burt Blackmon, who serves as CEO and president.

Aspiring managers who clear Common Admission Test (CAT) and second round of admission at Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad are increasingly opting to defer their admission for work experience.
The deferred admission system was introduced in 2015 for students wishing to take admission at the premier B-School but seek work experience before joining the institute. Students who are eligible for admission as per CAT score and clear admission round are allowed to postpone their admission for work purpose up to a maximum of two years. Around 10 per cent of seats have been kept for those putting off their admission, which comes to around 40 seats for a batch size of 400 students. As per the institute, 24 students chose to defer admission in 2015, which grew to 31 each in 2016 and 2017, while 25 deferred their admissions in 2018.
"We offer deferment up to maximum 10 per cent of the total seats, i.e. 39 candidates can get deferment in a given year. This scheme is meant for candidates with less than two years of work experience to gain/ enrich their work experience before joining the PGP. Deferment requests on grounds of medical, financial, family emergencies or to pursue higher studies are not entertained. Period of deferment is maximum of two years," said Chairperson (admissions) Prof Vishal Gupta.
Students have to shell out Rs 1 lakh as deferment fee in addition to the course fee for Post Graduate Program in Management. Kartikey Gupta appeared for CAT in 2015 and was eligible for admission in IIMs and other B-schools for the batch of 2016-18. Kartikeya scored 99.42 percentile in CAT and cleared second round of admission at IIMA. He chose to defer admission for two years and is enrolled in the 2018-20 batch now.
"I was fresh out of college. At that time, I had an offer from Boston Consulting Group, so I chose to work with them for two years," he said.
Gupta said, methodology of teaching at IIMA is based on case studies. "If a student has work experience, that gives them hands-on experience and helps in understanding the practicality of management. I don't mean to say that freshers may face challenge, smart students will catch up on studies but having work experience has a certain edge," he argued.
Asked about reasons for B-school not getting the full quota of students opting for deferment, he said that the number of fresher students getting admission at IIMs may not be high, probably the reason they are not able to able to fill all the seats meant for deferments.

With the help of corporate and international sponsors, the Kabul Beauty School welcomed its first class in 2003. Well meaning but sometimes brazen, Rodriguez stumbled through language barriers, overstepped cultural customs, and constantly juggled the challenges of a postwar nation even as she learned how to empower her students to become their families' breadwinners by learning the fundamentals of coloring techniques, haircutting, and makeup.
Yet within the small haven of the beauty school, the line between teacher and student quickly blurred as these vibrant women shared with Rodriguez their stories and their hearts: the newlywed who faked her virginity on her wedding night, the twelve-year-old bride sold into marriage to pay her family's debts, the Taliban member's wife who pursued her training despite her husband's constant beatings. Through these and other stories, Rodriguez found the strength to leave her own unhealthy marriage and allow herself to love again, Afghan style.

For expecting mothers, the excitement of pregnancy is often offset by anxiety over medication they require. Parents and doctors often have to consider the mother's health as well as the potential risk regarding how medication could affect their baby. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires certain drugs to be labeled with pregnancy exposure and risk. Some drugs are labeled to show that testing on animals has failed to demonstrate a risk but there are no adequate and well-controlled studies of pregnant women.
Ma and his research team in Syracuse University's System Tissue Engineering & Morphogenesis (STEM) lab have been working with human induced pluripotent stem cells to study tissue regeneration, regenerative medicine and stem cell engineering.
"This type of stem cell has the ability to generate all the different cells in a human body. Because it was derived from humans," said Ma.
Pluripotent cells can be used to create heart tissue but Ma's research team believed they could take it even further.
Ma's research team developed a process that combines biomaterials-based cell patterning and stem cell technology to make a 3D tissue model that could mimic early stage human heart development. By starting with a layer of polymer in a tissue culture dish and etching tiny patterns in the polymer, the stem cells will only attach within those patterns. Since the stem cells do not attach to the polymer, they grow within the patterns and eventually develop into a three-dimensional structure that has distinct tissue types. The process developed by Ma's team focused on cardiac tissue but other labs could adapt it to other tissue types and even organ tissues.
"Using the cell lines we use, they are human based so we know they will affect human tissue in a certain way as opposed to the uncertainty that comes with an animal model," said graduate student Plansky Hoang.
Some pregnant women avoid taking drugs they need to manage chronic conditions but if the mother's health suffers, that can also affect her baby. More reliable test results could provide more confidence for both patients and doctors.


ISLAMABAD/PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - The head of the Pakistani Taliban was killed by a U.S. drone strike on Friday, security and Taliban sources said, in a blow to the fragmented movement fighting against the nuclear-armed South Asian nation.
Hakimullah Mehsud was one of the most wanted and feared men in Pakistan with a $5 million U.S. bounty on his head, leading an insurgency from a mountain hideout in North Waziristan, the Taliban's stronghold on the Afghan frontier.
"We confirm with great sorrow that our esteemed leader was martyred in a drone attack," a senior Taliban commander said.
In Washington, two U.S. officials confirmed Mehsud's death in a CIA drone strike. They spoke on condition of anonymity.
At the White House, a spokeswoman said officials had seen the reports Mehsud may have been killed in Pakistan. "We are not in a position to confirm those reports, but if true, this would be a serious loss" for the Pakistan Taliban, Caitlin Hayden, spokeswoman for the National Security Council, said in a statement.
She noted that the Pakistan Taliban had claimed responsibility for the failed bomb plot at New York's Times Square in 2010, and that Mehsud was wanted in connection with the killing of seven CIA employees in Afghanistan in 2009.
The killing of Mehsud was the latest setback for the Pakistani Taliban, a group aligned with its Afghan namesakes and which has staged attacks against Pakistani armed forces and civilians in its fight to topple the government.
His death is almost certain to scuttle the prospect of peace talks between the Taliban and the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who won a landslide election victory in May by promising to bring peace to the country.
Pakistan had informed the United States and Britain that peace talks with the Pakistani Taliban were imminent, said Bruce Riedel, a former CIA and White House official with extensive experience in the region.
The government never clarified which factions of the Taliban it was willing to talk to or whether it would comply with the Taliban's demands to release its prisoners and withdraw the army from Taliban strongholds in Pakistan's tribal areas.
The government, which officially condemns U.S. drone strikes, issued its usual statement denouncing the attack, but did not comment on reports of Mehsud's death.
Mehsud's funeral will be held on Saturday at 3 p.m. (1000 GMT) in Miranshah, the main regional city, the Taliban commander said, an event likely to stir tension in a region already suffering from an escalating insurgency.
Pakistan, a nation of 180 million people, has been plagued by violence, including the homegrown Taliban insurgency that has cost tens of thousands of lives.
But the Taliban has been weakened by a series of counter-attacks. In May, a U.S. drone strike killed Mehsud's second-in-command, and one of his most trusted lieutenants was captured in Afghanistan last month.
A senior Pakistani Taliban source said it held an emergency meeting after Mehsud's death and approved two commanders, Maulvi Omar Khalid and Maulana Fazlullah, to replace him.
"Among these men, one will replace our slain Ameer (leader). Maulvi Omar Khalid ... is most likely to replace Hakimullah Mehsud," said a senior Pakistani Taliban official.
He said the Taliban would hold a tribal meeting early on Saturday to decide on further actions. "You will see our reaction," he said.
The Pakistani Taliban acts as an umbrella for various jihadist groups operating in Pakistan's lawless tribal belt, which are separate, but allied to the Afghan Taliban.
Several intelligence, army and Taliban sources across Pakistan confirmed Mehsud, believed to be in his mid-30s, had been killed in the drone strike in North Waziristan.
His bodyguard and driver were also killed, they said.
The drones fired four missiles at a compound in Danda Darpa Khel, a village about 5 km (3 miles) from the regional capital of Miranshah, sources said. Mehsud had been attending a gathering of 25 Taliban leaders to discuss the government's offer of talks, they said.
The information could not be independently verified because journalists have no access to the affected areas.
Mehsud was brought into the insurgency by his cousin Qari Hussain, who was the Taliban's top trainer for suicide bombers until he was killed in a drone strike.
He lacked formal education or religious training, but Mehsud was a popular figure known for his jokes and interest in modern technology, said Reuters journalists who had met him.
He was the driver for the former head of the Pakistani Taliban, and then rose through the ranks to become the movement's spokesman, although he was known for his emotional outbursts during conversations.
Mehsud took over the Pakistani Taliban in August 2009 after a drone strike killed the previous leader, his mentor.
Mehsud had two wives and moved frequently because of his fear of U.S. drone strikes.
In recent months, analysts say rivalries with other Taliban commanders over revenues from extortion and kidnapping had sharpened, rising tension within the fragmented movement.
The United States offered $5 million for Mehsud's capture after he appeared in a farewell video with the Jordanian suicide bomber who killed seven CIA employees at a base in Afghanistan in 2009.
U.S. prosecutors have charged him with involvement in the attack. The Taliban is also accused of plotting to bomb Times Square in 2010.
Although Mehsud's death will bring calls for revenge, it may make negotiations with the militants easier in the long run, said Saifullah Mahsud, director of the Pakistani think tank FATA Research Centre.
"Hakimullah Mehsud was a very controversial figure and he had very tough demands," he said.
But the strike did not signal the end of the Pakistani Taliban, he said.

Google Apps goes to school at Notre Dame
The university is moving its student e-mail accounts to Google Apps Education Edition
Linda Rosencrance (Computerworld) on 04 August, 2008 07:45
The University of Notre Dame has joined a number of other schools that are using Google Apps Education Edition to provide e-mail and other collaboration tools to its students.
CIO Gordon Wishon, who was in Boston to attend Google's Campus Technology 2008 conference, said the university is in the process of integrating Google Apps for Education with its existing systems.
Like other US universities, Wishon said Notre Dame decided that it could save money by using Google's cloud computing model to give students free access to e-mail and collaboration tools.
"Today we're in the process of bringing all our [student] e-mail accounts into Google Education and giving them access to the Google Apps," he said. "For the present time, we are not doing that with faculty and staff accounts but that may still happen in the future."
With Google Apps for Education, students will have access to Gmail accounts, Google Calendar, Google Docs and Google Talk, which provide services that the university might not have been able to provide otherwise, Wishon said.
For example, Wishon said Notre Dame did not provide students with access to calendaring services, among other services that were available to faculty and staff.
"So the Google relationship provides us with a very cost effective method of extending services to students," he said.
Converting the student accounts from the university servers to Google services should be completed by the end of the first semester, according to Wishon.
Wishon said there's a real possibility for the faculty and staff to be transitioned to Google Apps as well.
"We really haven't had time yet to have the discussions on campus with the administration that are necessary to support that decision," he said. "There are concerns about the protection of potential sensitive university information that we have to work through, but I don't foresee, necessarily, any barriers that might ultimately prevent that [transition.]"

Coleophora vestianella
Coleophora vestianella (Linnaeus, 1758)
eastern case-bearer
on Amaranthaceae
The larva feeds on th seeds, usually in the inflorescence, but also seeds that have fallen to the ground. The ultimate case is a trivalved, 6-7 mm long, brown paunchy tubular silken case with a mouth angle of 30°-35°. The larva several times has had to enlarge its case; to this end it then made a slit over the length of the case, then inserted a new strip of silk. The oldest parts are dark and covered with frass grains and detritus, the younger strips are much lighter and clean.
Amaranthaceae, oligophagous
Amaranthus; Atriplex laciniata, patula, tornabenei; Camphorosma monspeliaca; Chenopodium album, opulifolium; Halimione portulacoides.
The larva only late in its development starts making a case, in September. It is full fed in October. After the winter diapause follows the pupation in spring, still in the case.
All Europe, except Ireland, Greece, and the Mediterranean islands (PESI, 2018).
The cases cannot reliably be distinguished from those of C. saxicolella, sternipennella or versurella. However, in the larvae of vestianella the dark sclerites on the metanotum are almost as large as on the pronotum; in the other species mentioned these sclerites are much smaller.
Coleophora annulatella Nylander, 1848; Coleophora laripennella (Zetterstedt, 1839).
