New Fiction Captures the Life of a Boxer in the Ring

MARIETTA, Ga. (PRWEB) January 10, 2012

A particular blog in the internet states that, Boxing is about more than just how many opponents you can knock out. Its not a way of life, but a way you view your life and the world around you. But how much do people understand about this perception? Do they have a concrete grasp on how boxers live their life and those close to them? Author Pete Delohery provides a glimpse into the world of boxing and what life in the ring is like in his new book, Lamb to the Slaughter, a novel about love and courage, sin and redemption.

Iron Mike McGann, 32 years old, is facing the twilight of his prizefighting career. Desperate for his future, he has refused to honor his promise to his wife to quit the ring and start a family. In despair, his wife, Madge, is leaving him.

Rufus Hurricane Hilliard, Mikes next opponent, is the most menacing presence in prizefighting. He has won all 22 of his fights by knockout and is said to be a former enforcer for something called The Black Mafia. But behind Rufus Hilliards menacing ring presence lives a man nobody knows, a complex man who despises his own image. Unexpectedly left alone before his bout with McGann, Rufus Hurricane Hilliard is forced to confront the past that haunts him and the future he dreads.

Charles Charliehorse OConnell, Rufuss cornerman, has been terrorized by a mob kingpin to sabotage him. OConnell, who is an alcoholic and a compulsive gambler, blames himself for the ring deaths of two prizefighters. Trapped in a moral crisis, Charles Charliehorse OConnell must finally confront his Cardinal Sin.

Rufus Hurricane Hilliard vs. Iron Mike McGann, just another fight shown on The Continuous Sports Network, but by the time it is over the lives of these and many others will be forever different. Readers will witness more thrills and excitement as the surprising end unfolds in Lamb to the Slaughter.

This book will be featured at the 2012 ALA Midwinter Book Exhibit in Dallas, TX, on January 20-24, 2012.

Stevens SSE Faculty Lead Efforts to Release Newest Version of the Worldwide Graduate Reference Curriculum for Systems Engineering GRCSE 0.5

Hoboken, NJ (PRWEB) January 09, 2012

The Graduate Reference Curriculum for Systems Engineering (GRCSE) is the first ever worldwide release of an “official” reference curriculum for a systems-centric masters level program in systems engineering. GRCSE provides a standardized set of recommendations for graduate level systems engineering programs, together with implementation guidance for a university to satisfy those recommendations. The newest version of GRCSE is available at http://www.bkcase.org/grcse-05/ for comment.

GRCSE project is ready for review and early adoption, said Dr. Art Pyster of Stevens Institute of Technology, principal investigator on the GRCSE project. GRCSE was motivated by the huge diversity in systems engineering graduate programs and the need to create a common core of systems engineering content in worldwide graduate programs.

The Naval Post Graduate School, co-leads the project with the strong support of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), which provided financial support through the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC), a University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) consisting of 20 schools and led by Stevens. This truly was a community effort. More than 50 volunteer authors from around the world helped write GRCSE.

The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Computer Society, the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) Systems Engineering Division, and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) all support and contribute to its writing. Stevens Dr. Alice Squires and Nicole Hutchison also both contribute significantly as GRCSE authors and editors.

According to Dean Dinesh Verma of the Stevens School of Systems & Enterprises, GRCSE is a milestone within the systems engineering discipline and a reflection of its increasing maturity and standing within academia. It will have enduring impact on the discipline in the coming years and is a reflection of the leadership role that Stevens is playing within the systems engineering academic domain.

GRCSE is a part of the Body of Knowledge and Curriculum to Advance Systems Engineering (BKCASE) project. BKCASE is also developing the Guide to the Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK). SEBoK v0.5 was released in October 2011 and led by Stevens and the Naval Postgraduate School, working together through the SERC.

GRCSE v0.25 was released in December 2010 to selected members of the systems engineering community with the invitation to review and provide the necessary feedback to develop subsequent versions. This feedback was received and forms the basis of the current version, v0.5. Version 1.0 is scheduled for release in late 2012. To access GRCSE 0.5 and to provide review comments, visit http://www.bkcase.org/grcse-05/.

Targeted to kids aged 8 14 and starring Ashley Leggat (Life with Derek) and Cristine Prosperi (Degrassi: The Next Generation), Totally Ampd tells the story of five talented teenagers who are brought together to become the next big pop group. Featuring a 10-appisode live-action music comedy series, an original soundtrack and a suite of interactive activities designed to fully immerse kids in the action, Totally Ampd will launch worldwide via the Apple App Store on Thursday, January 26th and is published by XMG Studio.

The first appisode can be viewed at http://ow.ly/8kSyH.

Totally Ampd is the first App of its kind for the underserved tween mobile entertainment market we see this as a brand new category, said Daniel Dales, CEO and Executive Producer, Smokebomb Entertainment. Focusing on an aspirational story and very real characters that kids will fall in love with, Totally Ampd offers hours of interactive entertainment that will put viewers in the middle of the action, delivering a creative and emotionally immersive experience.

Looking at the habits of todays teens and tweens, always on their phones texting, messaging and emailing on the subway or the bus, the decision to work on Totally Ampd was a no-brainer, said Ray Sharma, founder and CEO of XMG Studio. Theres huge potential in the appisode space no one wants to watch half of a made-for-television episode on their phone when commuting.

Featuring 10 six to nine-minute appisodes, Totally Ampd tells the story of five teenagers with raw talent who come together in the hopes of becoming the next big pop group. When XMP! Music announces a contest for an up-and-coming band to win a spot opening for pop sensation Charlie Fever, the labels savvy receptionist-turned-manager, Zoe (Ashley Leggat), taps a group of teens to form the band Totally Ampd in order to bring home the prize and show up her arrogant boss, Archie. Through the course of the series, Zoe and her handpicked crew navigate the rocky and hilarious road to fame while trying to make their dreams come true. The dynamic young cast also includes Cristine Prosperi and Demetrius Joyette (Wingin It) as members of the aspiring band.

With each Totally Ampd appisode, interactive content is unlocked that turns iOS devices into sophisticated Music, Movie and Design studios. Creating posters and album covers, customizing the bands look, directing music videos, remixing and uploading their own vocals to the original songs, and much more, kids will have endless hours of artistic activity at their fingertips as they create their own custom content within the Totally Ampd narrative.

Totally Ampd is executive produced by Christina Jennings, Scott Garvie and Shane Kinnear; produced by Daniel Dales, Jarrett Sherman and Jay Bennett; and published by XMG Studio. The live-action series is directed by Benjamin Weinstein (Life with Derek, Baxter) and written by Karen McClellan (Being Erica). All original music performed by the cast was written and composed by award-winning composer Jared Gutstadt, CEO and co-founder of Jingle Punks (The Voice).

Totally Ampd is a joint initiative of Shaftesbury and Smokebomb Entertainment. Published by XMG Studio, the project has been funded with the participation of the Canada Media Funds Experimental Stream and the OMDCs Ontario Interactive Digital Media Tax Credit.
