Really, a big part of that story and the way I write is to make it seem more like I'm documenting what happened, as opposed to creating a story. I wanted the ending to sorta just happen, like real life. I apologize if the effect wasn't completed for you, though! I was worried that if he died it would seem hackneyed and dry; and more importantly, I wouldn't be able to convey the messages I wished to.
But, I must admit that yes, the ending was a bit drab. At least on the surface. I think a lot of issues arose with this story over the fact I aimed for something more substantial than light reading, but attempted to maintain a sense of entertainment and captivity like all stories should have. The ending leaned more toward my attempted substance, as opposed to light reading. In other words, there was more meaning then entertainment in the ending.

This is a story about a trainer and his Pokemon. It exposes the predictable and flawed nature of humans through Max and Boston's unique relationship, and shows just how unkind a Pokemon world can be.
It takes place in a much more dangerous world than the series or games.

Shitty DA short story. Don't bother reading this. It is trivial and depressing.
Autumn Leaves
This is the first chapter of a story that my friend Myst requested. Two of the female cast get raped.

Don't be a sewer man.
I'm glad you enjoyed Living For Today! I went back and reread it, not really remembering what it was about. It is certainly a different story, and honestly, I'm not sure what was going through my head when I wrote it!
Also, yes, Once in a Blue Moon was a bit odd. Then again, that is to be expected, since, you know, fetish.

I think you're evolving as a writer! A bit. I think you tried some stuff here that kinda paid off, or would be able to pay off with better editing. A few "I see what you did there" moments. There's actually a lot to talk about. More than with the Lucy x Jordan one that I didn't have much to say on.
I don't think you wrote very well for either character. I can understand for Haley - a lot of what I know about her as a character is only through talking to Veronica, but I thought Mike's behaviour was pretty strange. I don't think he'd be the type to autistically lunge at Haley the way he did, and I think there was a lot of lost opportunity when it came to his internal dialogue. He's kind of cute in the way he thinks about things.
I don't mind the idea that Haley is all sad about her ugly body etc, it's an interesting spin on a largely unknown character, but I didn't really buy it. How much is typical, how much is truly low-self-esteem-scary? What was she afraid of, did she hate her toes or her genitals or what? I didn't really understand and the vagueness felt like an attempt to avoid fleshing out this version of the character in an area that was intensely interesting to me.
The foot fetish stuff bores me, but I don't know if the way you wrote that is really hot to people with that fetish. Were you just coming up with it on the fly, or have you read a lot of foot fetish stories?
I didn't find it very erotic otherwise, even though the long t-shirt thing is supposed to do a lot for me. I think it's because of certain words and phrases -- fishy?? -- that throw me off almost completely, but also because of a lack of, I don't know. I think you can either be sensually eloquent or utterly realistic, and you didn't hit either of those points. I think in stories like these - not just incest, but young couples generally - there's a lot of erotic potential to be found in the shaky uncertain awkwardness of it all, and that just wasn't there for me when I read this. I can see so much potential for it, especially with tsundere Haley, though, so my imagination was firing away even as I found the path being taken a little bit dismal.
Oh, and the ending sucked. It wasn't clever or funny enough to end so abruptly. You really should have unwound it further - it would have been interesting to see how you can help that relationship actually pan out, but you didn't attempt it.
Overall I enjoyed it.

Ha ha, yes. As I said on the IRC, if I do ever happen to write another foot fetish story (who knows?) or anything where mouth-to-foot sensitivity would be relevant, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the advice!
I appreciate you taking the time to write this critique. I haven't gotten any in a very long time, and they are the best way for me to improve. I also appreciate you giving me an honest opinion, despite the fact it was a request. Most people aren't willing to do that, because they always feel guilty telling me they don't like something I wrote for free. Getting people to speak candidly can be impossible when it comes to this stuff.
And yeah, I pretty much agree with everything you said. I don't really know why I wrote it the way I did. Looking back, the story is pretty awful, and I tried to make it more than it is -- which is where I believe I went wrong. I really don't know what my intention was, nor can I remember what was going through my head the several days I wrote it.
I don't feel very proud of this story, and I honestly feel like I could have done better. I just wish I could remember why I did it like this. Maybe I'll revisit the prompt and try for something a little... less deranged. If I do, I'll let you know.
I noticed you asked about the foot fetish aspect as well... No, I've never read anything relating to foot fetishes before. This is actually the first thing I've written about them too! I was just winging it, really.
Oh, and by the way, just so no one is mistaken, I DO NOT FIND THE SMELL OF FISHY VAGINAS OR BURNING PLASTIC ATTRACTIVE. Just wanted to get that out there.

This story made me $10. It is omorashi related and sucks. It technically managed to win a writing competition, but I happened to be the only person who entered. I would like to restate that it sucks and that I'm only putting it here for the sake of keeping this thread mostly relevant (and I guess for people who are into this shit like me??). Anyway, don't bother reading it.
I plan on posting something that will HOPEFULLY be far less shitty (and BCB related). But I guess we'll see.

Two requests combined into one story. "Amaya" and "Murder." (Radial and DLancer, respectively).
Finally finished. I would like to thank Suitcase for glancing over it and making sure there were no obvious errors. He also took a bit of time to tamper with a few particularly problematic sentences, making them entirely more understandable. I appreciate it!
I would like to apologize to Taeshi for not using her idea I came into the IRC and was trying to get some suggestions, and she gave me a great one involving robbery that I had actually planned on implementing, but toward the end I realized it wasn't going to work, given how I had developed everything, and I had to replace it with something far more dismal. I really do appreciate it, though! Both her and Radial discussing and suggesting things helped me actually find the inspiration for what to write. So, it was still immensely helpful!
Please enjoy this mostly shitty story!

And yeah, I felt similarly to this story. I mean, it wasn't complete garbage or anything, but I could have done better, and in retrospect, it annoys me that I didn't. Swing and a miss, I suppose!
And by all means! I'd love to see it. Though, I have to confess her likeness was actually based on a girl I know (you have to get this shit from somewhere, you know?). Asked her out toward the end of high school and she shot me down

Bone Tumor Identified in 120,000-Year-Old Rib of Neandertal
From Famous Cave Excavation Site of Krapina in Central Europe
PHILADELPHIA, PA, June 2013—The first-known definitive case of a benign bone tumor has been discovered in the rib of a young Neandertal who lived about 120,000 years ago in what is now present-day Croatia. The bone fragment, which comes from the famous archaeological cave site of Krapina, contains by far the earliest bone tumor ever identified in the archaeological record. Details of the tumor confirmation, announced by an international research team led by Penn Museum Associate Curator and Paleoanthropologist Janet Monge, is available in a research paper, "Fibrous dysplasia in a 120,000+ year old Neandertal from Krapina, Croatia," in the online scientific journal PLOS ONE.
Joining Dr. Monge on the research team were Morrie Kricun, Department of Radiology, University of Pennsylvania; Jakov Radovcic and Davorka Radovcic, Croatian Natural History Museum; Alan Mann, Department of Anthropology, Princeton University; and David Frayer, Department of Anthropology, University of Kansas.
Bone tumors are exceptionally rare finds in the evolutionary fossil and archaeological records of human prehistory, with the earliest known instances, before now, dating to 1,000 to 4,000 years ago. Primary bone tumors are rare in modern populations, thus, finding a tumor in a fossil so old is a unique discovery.
From a u-CT scan and an X-ray, researchers identified a fibrous dysplastic neoplasm—today, the most common form of benign bone tumor in humans—located on a Neandertal left rib fragment that measured 30 mm (4 ½ inches) long. Judging by the size of the rib fragment, at the end of the rib that joins to the vertebrae, the rib belonged to a young male Neandertal, probably in his teens. Though he died young, and fibrous displasia is a developmental disorder of bone, there are no other known fossils that can be attributed to this individual, and there is not enough evidence to determine if this was or contributed to the cause of his death, according to Dr. Monge.
The confirmation of this tumor, Dr. Monge believes, may have implications for scholars studying the relationship between Neandertals and modern humans. "This tumor may provide another link between Neandertals and modern peoples, links currently being reinforced with genetic and archaeological evidence. Part of our ancestry is indeed with Neandertals—we grow the same way in our bones and teeth and share the same diseases."
About the Kaprina Archaeological Record and Past Research
Paleoanthropologists continue to debate the exact relationship between homo sapiens, or humans today, and Neandertals—an extinct species who lived throughout Eurasia from as early as 600,000 years to as late as 30,000 years ago. One of the most important early Neandertal sites was discovered in modern-day Croatia in 1899, when Dragutin Gorjanovic-Kramberger, Director of the Geology and Paleontology Department of the National Museum and Professor of Paleontology and Geology at Zagreb University, alerted by a local schoolteacher, first visited the Krapina cave and noted cave deposits, including a chipped stone tool, bits of animal bones, and a single human molar. Beginning that year, and continuing through six years, Gorjanovic-Kramberger and his associates completely, and for that era, carefully, excavated the cave. By 1905, Krapina had yielded more hominid remains than any other site known at the time.
In the 1990s, the Penn Museum was invited to study the radiographic images of the famous Krapina Neandertal fossil bone collection. The team identified 874 human remains, representing more than 75 individuals—the largest such collection of Neandertal remains from one locale. Looking for signs of pathology, disease, and weakness in a group of hominids long thought by many to have "died out" in classic Darwinian survival-of-the-fittest style, the team's ultimate diagnosis was surprising: these Neandertals were in large part a robust, healthy people. The researchers, Janet Monge among them, shared the results of their studies in a 1999 book, The Krapina Hominids: A Radiographic Atlas of the Skeletal Collection, published by the Republic of Croatia.
Not among the skeletal fossils, however, was the rib now identified as having the bone tumor. At the time of the Krapina excavations, it was mistakenly identified and placed in a faunal collection. In 1986, it was discovered by TD White (University of California, Berkeley) and N Toth (Indiana University, Bloomington) and preliminarily identified as a pathological specimen by M Kricun and J Monge in 1999. It was not until scholars could employ u-CT scans and analysis that the exact nature of the pathology was identified.

New BIOMOLECULAR aRCHAEOLOGICAL Evidence
Points to the Beginnings of Viniculture in France
* * *
9,000 Year Old Ancient Near Eastern "Wine Culture," Traveling Land and Sea,
Reaches Southern Coastal France, Via Ancient Etruscans of Italy, in 6th-5th Century BCE
PHILADELPHIA, PA June 3, 2013—France is renowned the world over as a leader in the crafts of viticulture and winemaking—but the beginnings of French viniculture have been largely unknown, until now.
Imported ancient Etruscan amphoras and a limestone press platform, discovered at the ancient port site of Lattara in southern France, have provided the earliest known biomolecular archaeological evidence of grape wine and winemaking—and point to the beginnings of a Celtic or Gallic vinicultural industry in France circa 500-400 BCE. Details of the discovery are published as "The Beginning of Viniculture in France" in the June 3, 2013 issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Dr. Patrick McGovern, Director of the Biomolecular Archaeology Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology and author of Ancient Wine: The Search for the Origins of Viniculture (Princeton University Press, 2006) is the lead author on the paper, which was researched and written in collaboration with colleagues from France and the United States.
For Dr. McGovern, much of whose career has been spent examining the archaeological data, developing the chemical analyses, and following the trail of the Eurasian grapevine (Vitis vinifera) in the wild and its domestication by humans, this confirmation of the earliest evidence of viniculture in France is a key step in understanding the ongoing development of what he calls the "wine culture" of the world—one that began in the Turkey's Taurus Mountains, the Caucasus Mountains, and/or the Zagros Mountains of Iran about 9,000 years ago.
"France's rise to world prominence in the wine culture has been well documented, especially since the 12th century, when the Cistercian monks determined by trial-and-error that Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were the best cultivars to grow in Burgundy," Dr. McGovern noted. "What we haven't had is clear chemical evidence, combined with botanical and archaeological data, showing how wine was introduced into France and initiated a native industry.
"Now we know that the ancient Etruscans lured the Gauls into the Mediterranean wine culture by importing wine into southern France. This built up a demand that could only be met by establishing a native industry, likely done by transplanting the domesticated vine from Italy, and enlisting the requisite winemaking expertise from the Etruscans."
Combined Archaeological, Chemical, and Archaeobotanical Evidence Corroborate Discovery
At the site of Lattara, merchant quarters inside a walled settlement, circa 525-475 BCE, held numerous Etruscan amphoras, three of which were selected for analysis because they were whole, unwashed, found in an undisturbed, sealed context, and showed signs of residue on their interior bases where precipitates of liquids, such as wine, collect. Judging by their shape and other features, they could be assigned to a specific Etruscan amphora type, likely manufactured at the city of Cisra (modern Cerveteri) in central Italy during the same time period.
After sample extraction, ancient organic compounds were identified by a combination of state-of-the-art chemical techniques, including infrared spectrometry, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, solid phase microextraction, ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry, and one of the most sensitive techniques now available, used here for the first time to analyze ancient wine and grape samples, liquid chromatography-Orbitrap mass spectrometry.
All the samples were positive for tartaric acid/tartrate (the biomarker or fingerprint compound for the Eurasian grape and wine in the Middle East and Mediterranean), as well as compounds deriving from pine tree resin. Herbal additives to the wine were also identified, including rosemary, basil and/or thyme, which are native to central Italy where the wine was likely made. (Alcoholic beverages, in which resinous and herbal compounds are more easily put into solution, were the principle medications of antiquity.)
Nearby, an ancient pressing platform, made of limestone and dated circa 425 BCE, was discovered. Its function had previously been uncertain. Tartaric acid/tartrate was detected in the limestone, demonstrating that the installation was indeed a winepress. Masses of several thousand domesticated grape seeds, pedicels, and even skin, excavated from an earlier context near the press, further attest to its use for crushing transplanted, domesticated grapes and local wine production. Olives were extremely rare in the archaeobotanical corpus at Lattara until Roman times. This is the first clear evidence of winemaking on French soil.
The Broader Picture
For nearly two decades, Dr. McGovern has been following the story of the origin and expansion of a worldwide "wine culture"—one that has its earliest known roots in the ancient Near East, circa 7000-6000 BCE, with chemical evidence for the earliest wine at the site of Hajji Firiz in what is now northern Iran, circa 5400-5000 BCE. Special pottery types for making, storing, serving and drinking wine were all early indicators of a nascent "wine culture."
Viniculture—viticulture and winemaking—gradually expanded throughout the Near East. From the beginning, promiscuous domesticated grapevines crossed with wild vines, producing new cultivars. Dr. McGovern observes a common pattern for the spreading of the new wine culture: "First entice the rulers, who could afford to import and ostentatiously consume wine. Next, foreign specialists are commissioned to transplant vines and establish local industries," he noted. "Over time, wine spreads to the larger population, and is integrated into social and religious life."
Wine was first imported into Egypt from the Levant by the earliest rulers there, forerunners of the pharaohs, in Dynasty 0 (circa 3150 BCE). By 3000 BCE the Nile Delta was being planted with vines by Canaanite viniculturalists. As the earliest merchant seafarers, the Canaanites were also able to take the wine culture out across the Mediterranean Sea. Biomolecular archaeological evidence attests to a locally produced, resinated wine on the island of Crete by 2200 BCE.
"As the larger Greek world was drawn into the wine culture, " McGovern noted, "the stage was set for commercial maritime enterprises in the western Mediterranean. Greeks and the Phoenicians—the Levantine successors to the Canaanites—vied for influence by establishing colonies on islands and along the coasts of North Africa, Italy, France, and Spain. The wine culture continued to take root in foreign soil—and the story continues today."
Where wine went, so other cultural elements eventually followed—including technologies of all kinds and social and religious customs—even where another fermented beverage made from different natural products had long held sway. In the case of Celtic Europe, grape wine displaced a hybrid drink of honey, wheat/barley, and native wild fruits (e.g., lingonberry and apple) and herbs (such as bog myrtle, yarrow, and heather).

Daffodil Days are coming; volunteers are needed
The American Cancer Society is celebrating the hope of spring today with a public launch of its annual Daffodil Days fundraising campaign. Today commences as the official period for daffodil order-taking, awareness of daffodil products available this year,promotion of the www.cancer.org/daffodils interactive website, volunteer recruitment and delivery of the blossoms in time for spring.
Daffodil Days offers a bouquet of products:
For a $10 gift, donors receive a bouquet of ten fresh daffodil blossoms.
Three mini-daffodil bulbs in a soil filled pot are available for a $15 donation.
A bouquet of ten daffodils and a Boyd's collectable stuffed bear for a $25 donation.
Gift of Hope: daffodils are delivered to a cancer patient undergoing treatment for a $25 donation and up.
Bear Hugs for Hope: special edition, collectible bear is delivered to a child impacted by cancer. $25.
Flower and product orders can be placed now through March 1 by calling the American Cancer Society at 1 (800)-227-2345 or making an online donation at www.cancer.org/daffodils.
Delivery occurs the week before spring, beginning March 18. Continued...
According to the society, this long standing program, which historically coincides with the coming of spring, is expected to raise over $500,000 in Connecticut to support the fight against cancer.
For more than 35 years, the American Cancer Society has, through its Daffodil Days program, been sharing hope for a world with less cancer and more birthdays by really helping people get well, stay well, find cures and fight back against cancer. Although Daffodil Days involves offering daffodils to donors every spring in appreciation for their contributions, it is about more than just giving beautiful flowers; it is an opportunity to share hope for a world free of cancer.
Volunteer opportunities abound — from school children to corporate CEOs — to assist in taking daffodil orders, sorting and packing the bouquets for order fulfillment and/or delivering daffodils in your community during the week of March 18. Supporting Daffodil Days as a volunteer or a donor provides the knowledge that you are helping fight cancer, and what a poignant thought that is as we welcome spring.
Dollars raised through Daffodil Days enable the Society to offer free programs and services that help people fight cancer with courage and optimism, while it provides day-to-day help, emotional support, and 24-hour information to help ease the cancer experience. Additionally, daffodil contributions provide the Society with much-needed dollars to fund ground-breaking cancer research, educate people about the importance of cancer prevention and early detection and advocate for meaningful public health policies that benefit the community.
For more information about Daffodil Days, to request flowers, or to get involved with the program, contact the American Cancer Society at 1 (800) 227-2345 or www.cancer.org/daffodils.

A vegan diet and the flu epidemic
The flu epidemic has invaded 48 states, overwhelming medical facilities, exhausting vaccine supplies, and killing 29 children and thousands of seniors. Both the problem and solution to this disaster hinge on how we relate to animals raised for food.
Indeed, 61 percent of the 1,415 pathogens known to infect humans originate with animals. The more recent, contagious, and deadly viruses among these include Asian, dengue fever, Ebola, H5N1 (bird), HIV, SARS, West Nile, and yellow fever. The pandemic "Spanish" flu of 1918, killed 20-50 million people worldwide, and the World Health Organization predicts more pandemics in the future.
Today's factory farms are virtual flu factories. Sick, crowded, highly stressed animals in contact with contaminated feces and urine provide ideal incubation media for viruses. As these microbes reach humans, they mutate to defeat the new host's immune system, then propagate by contact. Continued...
Each of us can help end animal farming and build up our own immune system against the flu by replacing animal products in our diet with vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. These foods don't carry flu viruses, or government warning labels, are touted by every major health advocacy organization, and were the recommended fare in the Garden of Eden.

There is so much more to fatherhood than mere providing
Today's "reminder" is not written by me, but by a man near my age who has been a great friend for more than four decades. No last names are included in his narrative, but if you know me, you may well know who he is. This is lengthier than most of my columns but is well worth the read. I adore this man and admire his courage:

Try our lean, whole quail for their delicate game flavor and rich dark meat. They are spectacular when stuffed and roasted, and may be served singly as appetizers or paired together for entrées.
Our Coturnix-breed quail are raised in a free-range environment on natural, wholesome grains, with no antibiotics or hormones used, yielding a succulent, high-protein meat that is extremely lean and rich in color and flavor. Coturnix breed quail offer a richer flavor and higher moisture content than the more common Bobwhite breed. Also in its favor, quail meat is lower in fat and calories than chicken or turkey.
Our whole quail works well with all types of seasonings and marinades. Being naturally lean, quail is best cooked quickly, using high heat and cooked to medium rare to help keep them moist and tender.
Try them roasted, grilled, broiled or sautéed, or prepare as you would any poultry or game bird. We like to stuff quail with foie gras and mushrooms, or even wrap them in bacon before placing on a hot grill or the oven.
Serve them individually as an appetizer, along with a cold Rosé, or pair them together with another protein, like a tenderloin steak for an elegant main course. If you prefer to keep it in the game family, our lean buffalo medallions would make a perfect match.
"This recipe from Ariane's father, Chef André Daguin, uses two types of mustard to make two sauces for quail. "
"This dish, of quail braised wth salty pork sausage and red grapes, is chef Judy Rodgers' interpretation of the Italian dish, salsiccia all'uva."
"This delightful vegetarian lasagna does not call for any specific type of mushroom. Try it with one of our custom mixes--Wild and Cultivated Exotic or Organic, Mixed."
"Quail can be a quick, easy weeknight dinner, or a special party-worthy dish, as in this recipe for quail stuffed with fresh chanterelles and foie gras."
"Jesse Schenker turns delicate quail into an elegant ballantine filled with a Bosc pear-and-foie-gras puree and served with almond foam."

"We received the five personalized ornaments we ordered for our grand children. Giving our grand children an ornament each Thanksgiving depicting something they have done special each year is a tradition we have done for twenty-five years when they started to drive, sports activities, etc. We are completely satisfied with our purchase. You people have never let us down. Thanks again for our successful purchase from you. Beverly M."
"Hi Dianne, You wanted to know if I am a new customer, yes I am!!! I had a new Grandson born last year and there was a special ornament that I picked out at Bronners, when we were there this past summer. I had it all personalized, then when I went to get it in the bag, it wasn't there. I was so disappointed. When I tried to order it on line, they were out of stock for the season. So I only had 3 ornaments instead of 4 for my Grandkids this year. Liam is only 5 months old, so he really didn't care. The more I thought about it after Christmas though, I thought maybe I should check on some other sites on the internet. I came across your site, found something I really liked and ordered it on the spot!!! I can't wait to see it, and although I usually shop at Bronners, because it is in MI, I'm sure I will be checking your site again. Thanks so much and Happy New Year!!!! Diane P."
"Just received my ornament and once again you have outdone yourselves! We were so happy with the personalization you did for all of our animals. Thank you Susan and Ray C."

SPRINGFIELD, IL – State Senator Kwame Raoul (D-13th)'s proposal to allow more businesses to form health care purchasing groups has passed the Senate. Because groups of businesses can negotiate lower rates than individual businesses, the legislation will result in lower costs for employers and a greater incentive to insure employees.
"Purchasing groups have a history of providing superior care at competitive prices in Illinois and other states," Sen. Raoul said. "I want to expand this option at a time when we desperately need to make our state more business-friendly while also making it a great place to work."

This is not a movie. There's no dramatic music in the background. A happy ending, far from a guarantee.
The concern in Donnie Herman's voice was clear as day. So was his stress. With two telephones to his ear, he listened to his wife, Melinda, as she fled into an attic of their Loganville home. With her: Her two 9-year-old children and a loaded .38 revolver.
In the house: An intruder with a crowbar.
On another line was the 911 operator Donnie Herman had called for help. Herman's words to his wife, as he sat helplessly, an hour away from the home, were recorded.
"Stay in the attic," he instructed her, calmly.
"He's in the bedroom," she told him. He repeated the words to the 911 operator.
"Shh. Relax," Herman said, trying to calm his wife.
Then he instructed her to do what was fast becoming a realistic possibility.
"Melinda -- if he opens up the door, you shoot him! You understand?"
What happened next has made the Hermans the new faces of the right to bear arms.

News Update
Man gets 30 years for sexually assaulting child he babysat
Courtesy of Collin County - Sean Koncir, 20, of McKinney, this week was sentenced to 30 years in prison for sexually assaulting a boy he babysat during the summer of 2011.
From staff reports
Published: Monday, November 19, 2012 5:09 PM CST
A man was sentenced this week to 30 years in prison for aggravated sexual assault of a child he babysat.
During the summer of 2011, Sean Koncir, 20, of McKinney, engaged in sexual conduct with a 5-year-old boy while babysitting him in McKinney. The child told a family friend about the sexual abuse later that year, and authorities charged Koncir soon afterward.
Testimony presented at sentencing established that Koncir had sexually assaulted the boy on around four separate occasions. Koncir would watch out the window for the boy's father and girlfriend to leave and then tell the child he wanted "15 minutes in the bathroom, now," according to testimony.
Koncir lived in Farmersville during the time he committed the crimes. He moved to Chicago where he was working in a deli for a short time before being charged.
The case was investigated by Detective Jimmy Thomas of the McKinney Police Department and prosecuted by Assistant Criminal District Attorney Claire Miranda. Assisting in the prosecution were District Attorney Investigator Kenny Newton and legal secretaries Kathy Schroeder and Sandy Schilling. Judge John Roach Jr. presided over the case.

Medical Breakthrough: FDA Approved Eye Injection Reduces Need for Surgery
By: Deedra Wilson, KARK 4 News
Updated: November 15, 2012
In this week's medical breakthrough report, a look at a new drug just approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which can prevent the need for one form of eye surgery.
"We are looking at the eye itself and inside the back of the eye is filled with a type of jelly," said Dr. Frank Lorusso, with Retina Associates.
That jelly starts to age and that's when a patient can start to have problems with vision.
"Just like we can develop wrinkles as we get older or arthritis, the jelly in the back of the eye starts to shift and pull as it ages, and it can pull on the film of the eye," he explains.
Causing what's called Vitreomacular Traction, which can cause blurred vision or distortion.
It's normally treated with eye surgery but now the FDA has approved a new drug called Jetrea or Ocriplasmin.
"The drugs injected into the back of the eye, it can cause release of this pulling," says Dr. Lorusso.
Also, little holes that the jelly has caused can close, or scar tissue can be released as well.
In certain patients their condition will improve, all without surgery.

text: I got the Big Sky jacket for Christmas and I couldn't be happier. I needed something warm, but versatile and lightweight for an upcoming winter hiking trip. The Big Sky was exactly what I needed. This jacket is so stinkin' warm and you dont even notice you are wearing it. It is also very stylish. My wife likes me to wear it around town as well. She loves the way it looks. You get it all here: functionality, quality, warmth, light weight, and style. I will say the jacket ran pretty big in size. I have bought Merrell barefoot t-shirts in my normal size (large) and ended up needing XL. I ordered an XL and it was like a 2x or even 3x. Merrell's customer service was awesome is getting it swapped out and my large fits better. You will not be disappointed in this jacket!
