Railing at the railroads by scrapyard managers is fairly common, dependent as they are on those carriers for shipments to steel mills and ports.
How to secure better service and lower rates isn't always self-evident, as the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) has discovered. When ISRI last wrestled with the matter, putting out a policy statement at a 2007 board meeting, it endorsed certain approaches but refrained from backing specific bills in Congress.
"We know what the problems are. We don't necessarily know what the magic bullet is," William Johnson, ISRI's director of political affairs, said recently. "The worst thing to do is to cause the railroads more problems trying to fix something."
ISRI's wish list More rail cars, getting them scheduled and routed more efficiently, increased infrastructure spending and "removing the anti-competitive protections afforded to the railroads."
A significant piece of the picture is that intermodal containers have become the focus of the rail industry. That means less attention is paid to gondola cars used to move steel scrap, and such shippers can't threaten to go elsewhere with their business.
As the North American Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers put it "Intermodal has the most competitive alternatives for transportation services, which creates a healthy commercial pricing environment for global shippers." But for customers needing specialized rail cars, the automakers said, "commercial rates may be leveraged due to the captivity of those customers, to subsidize the capital investment in more competitive 'franchises' on the railroad."
The railroads therefore must be prodded to resist "putting undue economic pressure on those commodity shippers (that are) captive to the railroad through geography, specialized equipment needs or scope of volume," the auto alliance said.
The type of rail car used for steel scrap has become an increasing headache. "Much of the current fleet of gondola cars is old and slated for retirement in the next several years, with little or no replacement by the railroads," ISRI told the Surface Transportation Board (STB) last year. "The current shortage of railroad-owned gondola cars is likely to worsen."
So should the government play a role to influence the pace and direction of railroads' capital improvements?
Some shipper coalitions have called for a special investment tax credit for rail carriers.
Regional initiatives of this sort do exist. Serious proposals in Texas and Illinois would include public funding to improve rail freight capacity. A public-private road and rail plan in Texas calls for a corridor from Mexico to the Oklahoma border. A plan for the Chicago area would upgrade four rail transportation corridors for freight movement, with a fifth earmarked for passenger traffic, including the elimination of highway-level grade crossings.
ISRI isn't seeking government dollars for rail investment. The group's October 2007 policy statement instead asked Congress to create incentives for railroads to speed improvements in track and infrastructure. ISRI also called for the removal of "anti-competitive protections afforded to the railroads." How that might play out is debatable.
"The captive shipper problem raises an important policy question for Congress," said John Frittelli of the Congressional Research Service. "Could more rail-to-rail competition lead to a more robust and efficient railroad system or could it undermine it by discouraging investment in rail infrastructure?"
Example If a carrier has 300 miles of track going in a shipper's intended direction but the shipper wants it handed off after 50 miles to a competing railroad with a cheaper rate or better service, should the shipper have the right to insist on the alternate pathway?
Johnson said the lack of route choice sometimes means a scrap shipment is unnecessarily stuck in a switching yard for a day or two until the controlling carrier has a train available heading to the right destination. "When it sits there doing nothing, it costs as much as if it were moving," he said.
The current system also cramps what short-line railroads can do. Typically, they are committed by contract to accept the routing and rates of the adjacent major carrier. The larger railroad might still own the short line's leased track, but even if that's not the case the sale terms that established the short line might have restricted its autonomy. "Paper barrier" is the regulatory jargon for this sort of issue.
How much of an impact would result from letting shippers play railroads off against one another is difficult to guess. The eastern states are dominated by two carriers, CSX Corp. and Norfolk Southern Corp., while the western states are served by another pair, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Co. and Union Pacific Railroad Co. Even if the rulebook were rewritten to foster competition, the vigor of the contest might be in doubt.
A former STB chairwoman, Linda J. Morgan, once warned that a highly competitive pricing structure would favor those customers that could be served most cheaply while providing the highest volumes. She probably had in mind intermodal, coal and grain. A likely outcome would be "a smaller rail system that would serve fewer and a different mix of customers than are served today," she wrote. Her thrust was that non-core customers are likely to be worse off if they try to reshape the system.
That opinion might cut both ways, since she was the first STB chair from 1996 to 2002. Some shipper lobbyists say the STB has dealt more gently with railroads than Congress intended.
Morgan, a 15-year congressional staffer before her STB stint, later joined the board of directors of Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. She is a partner and the lead transportation attorney at Covington & Burling LLP in Washington, and shows up in a current STB docket as Union Pacific's attorney.

At that time, a small core group of business and storeowners came together to improve our Jamaica Avenue from Dexter Court to 100th Street. In this core group the members of the Greater Woodhaven Development Corporation formed a BID Steering Committee. On this Committee were Chairman Jeff Lewis of Lewis' of Woodhaven, Susan Blumstein, President of the Greater Woodhaven Development Corporation of Woodhaven Sewing, Victoria Spiezia of Vicky's/M and M's, Joseph R. Ruggiere of Ohlert Ruggiere, Joseph P. Schmidt Esq. Lawyer, Dorothea Schmidt of Schmidt's Confectionery, Anthony Cambria of Columbia Federal Savings Bank, Frank D'Orazi of LeCordon Bleu Caterers, Howard Strauss of Eebee's, James G. Halulakos of Halulakos Real Estate and me Maria A. Thomson, GWDC Board Member and then Executive Director.
Together we met with the assistance of the Department of Business Services Assistant Commissioner Barbara Wolffe, Director Doreen Greenwich, and especially Joyce Coward, along with our City Council members Walter Ward and Thomas V. Ognibene.
After close to eight years with a long process of approvals Woodhaven had their own Woodhaven Business Improvement District. The funds collected from all of our property owners then paid for the much-needed WBID services. Our WBID used the Myrtle Avenue BID as our model. Also, their President Herb Hockberg and their Executive Director Ted Renz assisted us greatly (and we still thank them for their support).
The many services that began were security, sanitation, marketing promotion, holiday promotion and decorations, operating expenses and management fees. Immediately there was a change in the appearance of our Woodhaven's Jamaica Avenue. It was clean, the excess garbage bagged, graffiti vandalism removed, security services were evident and Woodhaven's Shopping Strip was publicized and branded as the "Woodhaven BID" Taking Care of BIDness" (which was coined by Doug Gerowski of Ohlert Ruggiere).
The WBID sponsors many promotional events throughout the year. Since the inception of our WBID, we remain the only Business Improvement District in Southwest Queens, besides 3 in Jamaica.
The Greater Woodhaven Development Corporation administers the WBID and also advocates for and removes graffiti vandalism from commercial properties and apartment buildings off Jamaica Avenue. Yes, Woodhaven's Jamaica Avenue was deteriorating and threatening, but now it is clean, 98 percent graffiti vandalism free with promotions and a shopping strip that we can be proud of. For this we can thank our property owners and those that worked very hard to secure this beneficial program for our Woodhaven.
Our Forest Parkway Library is a Cooling Center, during this or any future heat waves. Also our Forest Parkway Library will be serving free lunch from 11 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Monday through Friday for all youngsters under the age of 18. This program runs till September 5.
So remember fly our American flag every day, above all others, wear your lapel flags every day, Happy Birthday America! May God bless our armed forces and disabled veterans and may God bless America.

Colgate-Palmolive Company, together with its subsidiaries, manufactures and markets consumer products worldwide. The company operates in two segments: Oral, Personal and Home Care; and Pet Nutrition. This dividend king has paid dividends since 1895 and has increased them for 50 years in a row.
The company's latest dividend increase was announced in March 2013 when the Board of Directors approved a 9.70% increase in the quarterly annual dividend to 34 cents /share. The company's peer group includes Procter & Gamble (PG), Clorox (CLX), and Kimberly Clark (KMB).
Over the past decade this dividend growth stock has delivered an annualized total return of 12.60% to its shareholders.
The company has managed to deliver a 9% average increase in annual EPS over the past decade. Colgate-Palmolive is expected to earn $2.83 per share in 2013 and $3.09 per share in 2014. In comparison, the company earned $2.58/share in 2012.
In addition, between 2004 and 2013, the number of shares decreased from 1135 million to 937 million.
Colgate generates over 80% of its sales from outside of the US. The growing emerging markets in Latin America and Asia and the rising middle class in these markets could present an excellent opportunity for Colgate Palmolive. Latin America accounts for one third of sales, while Asia/Africa accounts for over one fifth of sales. The issue with overexposure to Latin America is that the continent has been prone to currency devaluations, which could impact profitability. Another issue could come from rising commodity costs, which could pressure margins and profitability despite expectations for rising volumes. Given the strong brand names of many of Colgate's products however, the company could mitigate this by passing on cost increases to consumers.
The toothpaste market is characterized by high penetration by branded products, as few people are going to save a few cents and put an unknown paste for their teeth. In addition there is brand loyalty, which results in recurring revenue streams from millions of customers worldwide. The company also has wide global reach, and large scale of operations. The strong brands, customer loyalty and global scale of operations are indicative of a wide moat by this company.
In 2012, Colgate-Palmolive initiated a four year Global Growth and Efficiency Program, in an effort to simplify and standardize work processes, reduce structural costs, and increase sales globally. The company is expected to spend anywhere between $1.1 to $1.25 billion through 2016, with annual benefits expected in the $365-$435 million annually. These benefits will be reinvested in items such as new products and in brand building. As a result of the program, 6% of global workforce will be laid off by 2016.
In general, earnings per share will increase through emerging market sales growth, share buybacks, cost restructurings. I can foresee sales to grow by 5 – 6 %year, which could easily translate into earnings per share growth of 9- 10% for the foreseeable future.
The annual dividend payment has increased by 11.40% per year over the past decade, which is higher than the growth in EPS. This was accomplished through the expansion of the dividend payout ratio. Future growth will be limited by any growth in earnings per share.
An 11% growth in distributions translates into the dividend payment doubling every six and a half years on average. Since 1985, Colgate-Palmolive has been able to double dividends every seven years on average.
The dividend payout ratio increased from 37% in 2003 to almost 47% in 2012. A lower payout is always a plus, since it leaves room for consistent dividend growth minimizing the impact of short-term fluctuations in earnings.
The company enjoys really high returns on equity, which is common for most high quality dividend payers that do not require a lot of equity to operate the business. Rather than focus on absolute values for this indicator, I generally want to see at least a stable return on equity over time.
Currently, the stock is overvalued, as it trades at a P/E of 22.60 and yields only 2.10%. I am analyzing the company because I believe it is quality dividend growth stock, which will be a very good addition to my portfolio on dips below $55-$56.

Pentagon to Beef Up Cybersecurity Arsenal
Jan 28, 2013 1:10 PM PT
The Pentagon's cybersecurity force will increase more than fivefold over the next several years, following the approval of a move requested by the head of the Defense Department's Cyber Command, The Washington Post reported.
The expansion will bolster the U.S.' ability to defend critical computer systems and carry out "offensive computer operations against foreign adversaries," according to The Post.
"Foreign adversaries" is a phrase that also popped up in The New York Times' article about the expansion.
News of the expansion broke Sunday, but it apparently was approved in late 2012, perhaps not long after U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's ominous "cyber Pearl Harbor" speech.
The potential for cyberthreats has been highlighted by a series of recent cyberattacks, including one on a Saudi Arabian oil company that scrubbed data from more than 30,000 computers, and a series of DDoS attacks carried out on U.S. banks.
While details of the cybersecurity expansion have not been finalized, The Post reported that the overhaul will create three types of forces under the Cyber Command umbrella: national mission forces to protect computer systems related to power grids; combat mission forces to help overseas commanders plan and carry out offensive operations; and cyberprotection forces to fortify the Defense Department's networks.
China Could Lift Videogame Console Ban
China's decade-long ban on videogame consoles could soon go away, according to the state-run China Daily.
Consoles such as Xbox and PlayStation are banned because of what China Daily described as "potential harm to the physical and mental development of the young." However, a source from the Ministry of Culture told the newspaper that the policy is under review.
Seven separate ministries issued the ban, and each would reportedly need to give approval in order to lift it.
Sony Computer Entertainment, which makes the PlayStation, opened a facility in China's Guangdong province last year.
Sony and Nintendo both saw their stock jump following the report, according to Bloomberg.
The console ban hasn't stopped Chinese youngsters from playing videogames. Computer games are all the rage in China, even prompting the rise of treatment centers for those who consider themselves addicted.
UK Looks at Google's Web Tracking of iPhone Users
An estimated 10 million people in the UK could have grounds to launch a privacy claim against Google for its alleged tracking of the Internet habits of Web users, according to The Guardian.
The issue stems from the way Google monitored online behavior by circumventing Apple's security settings on the iPhone, iPad and desktop versions of Apple's Safari Web browser. At least 10 British iPhone users have begun legal proceedings and "dozens more are being lined up," The Guardian reported.
Lawyers have reportedly ordered Google to divulge how much data it obtained, how it used that data, and the length of time the company used the information.
Antigua's Bizarre Website Proposal
The Caribbean island of Antigua will appear before the World Trade Organization on Monday to seek permission to run a website that sells music, movies and software.
The site, however, would ignore copyright laws, reported TorrentFreak.
The site is an attempt to recoup lost revenue when the U.S. started blocking Americans from using Antigua-based gambling websites, thereby depriving the country of billions of dollars.
The U.S. is also opposed to letting Antigua sell copyrighted products.

I found used legacy SS. cleaned up. performed up keep. never have gotten temp to get hot enough. now before you say read support page, or i don't know what I'm doing know i have tried everything Holland says to do. new regulator, tried different tanks, cleaned burner more than once, reset regulator. my dad has classic I and it performs great. I'm not a Holland hater. we are puzzled with this grill.
How does your flame look?
William T
AJ is correct. The appearance of the flame is your best clue.
Short blue flame: Not enough gas to the burner. Regulator or gas valve are partially blocked.
Yellow orange flame: Not enough air to the burner. Air-shutter adjustment or blocked burner.
If you need more help, you must be specific about the flame & the actual temperature the grill is preheating to.
My SS Legacy is about 9 years old and I had a simular experience. Tried everything that was relatively easy. Then dicide to take the grill apart and and remove the diffuser/heat shield to get to the burner itself. On the top of the burner are a couple of screws that I was able to get loose finally and opened the top of the burner.
Once opened I knew immediately what the problem was. Much rust had scaled (big chunkies) away and clogged up the burner. These big peices of rust would have never been cleaned out without opening up the burner itself. Cleaned it out and no issues since.
flame looks textbook. i am going to take apart againg and go throgh one more time.
@ Justin
Make sure you vacuum out the venturi neck on the burner from the front of the grill. Take the gas valve off & use a strong vacuum or shop-vac.
Info on cleaning out the burner is under "Support" on the web-site.
This is something that should be done every few years on all Holland grills.
Older Hollands sometimes have lid temp. gauges that give low readings, I've found this with several older Hollands and at first thought I too had low heat. Once I installed a new oval lid gauge I realized that I had a proper heading grill. You might try this and be very surprised at the results, if all else is working as expected.
it has the older temp gauge and im know they were not top of the line but i did not rely on it. the grill will not get hot enough to even make the meat juice up and drip and smoke. put loin chops on it last week after doing everything once more and after and hour meat was still pink. finished in pan on stove.

A Hitman spin-off, Sniper Challenge, has been announced in a US magazine.
The latest issue of Game Informer contains an advert for the title, which features a replayable sniper mission and online scoreboards. There's also the lure of as-yet unnamed prizes for the top marksmen, along with an exclusive upgradeable rifle that may be used in the main game.
If you want to start looking down the scope, you need to pre-order Hitman: Absolution. This gets you a code that will allow you to play Sniper Challenge on the Playstation 3 or Xbox 360.
Hopefully we'll be able to bring you more news on Thursday: developers IO Interactive yesterday tweeted that they had a "major" Hitman: Absolution announcement to make then.

Gangs of New York R1 vs R2
This DVD has been a cause for concern amongst film fans as on its release the region 1 edition was spread across two DVDs while th...
The basic premise of Edge Enhancement is that it is used to trick the eye into thinking the picture is sharper than it is. This is used primarily for those people watching DVDs on smaller TVs. However when larger TVs and projectors come into the equation, problems arise. Outlines of people, buildings, cars, in fact anything that has an edge to it, then has a halo present. The annoying thing is that TVs generally come with a sharpness setting and so if it was left off the DVD, it could be tuned in manually by people with smaller screens instead of ruining the viewing experience of people with larger screen equipment. There are some ripping examples of Edge Enhancement on DVD including Terminator 2:UE and Star Wars: Episode 1 (however the production company deny the existance of EE on this disc - obviously they haven't seen it!). The Region 2 version of Spawn:Directors Cut suffers from this problem too and so below are some shots detailing this. Each frame includes a zoomed part in which you will hopefully be able to see what I am going on about.
As you can see, these halos are not a fixed colour, and will only be visible on larger screens. As they become more affordable, many of us are starting to invest in larger televisions, plasma screens and even projectors which means Edge Enhancement is really a problem. Hopefully in the future they will abandon the use of this concept.
So that is your basic overview of EE and why it is used. A lot of people with larger viewing equipment have seen this frankly pointless phenomenon on the R1 edition of Gangs of New York.
Unfortunately I have not had access to both regions of this film so the screen caps were done by different people on different PCs. This means that there will be some discrepincies in colour and brightness levels as unfortuantely PowerDVD captures images based on its viewing settings rather than the original video settings. Hopefully you will be able to ignore these and concentrate of the Edge Enhancement. Could it be that the R2 is superior in that it is presented on just the one disc, and is free of EE? Lets find out.
So on this outdoor scene we do get a halo around DDL's head. A little more pronounced on the R1, the image has slightly different brightness and contrast settings so it would appear that the edge enhancement is on both discs here at about the same level.
Again we can see a halo, this time around angelic Leonardo's hat. Its fairly mild and a lot of the other hard lines in this scene do not produce the same affect leading me to think the edge enhancement is only mildly applied in this instance.
Edge Enhancement shows up easier when there is a darker colour on a lighter background. There is not too much of that going on in this scene and I could not see any edge enhancement here.
Again with this interior shot - there is very little haloing present. A real close inspection reveals some on the end of DeCaprio's nose due to the light reflecting off its surface however this scene is as before - no real viewable edge enhancement.
As before this outdoor scene with its bright sky shows the edge enhancement up a lot more than on the darker interior shots. This particular scene is not a great example however you can stil see the halo present around various parts of people heads however it must not be confused with the bright edges to everything that are caused by the lighting of the scene.
Here we can see the EE on the opening credits. It really is very visible here and these screen shots barely do it justice it is so prominent. Again, it looks more visible on the region 1 disc than on the region 2 for some reason.
So, what to conclude? Well the bit rate for the region 1 is an average of 7.08Mb/s (6.69 on disc 1 and 7.47 on disc 2) and the region 2 is 6.16Mb/s (all values calculated using Bit Rate Viewer 1.4 from visualdomain.net). The region 1 is presented on two dual layered discs however the film is for some reason presented on the first layer of each disc only, with extra features on the other layer of each disc whilst the region 2 film is packaged onto one dual layered disc (with the extras on a seperate disc). Edge enhancement does appear to be present on both discs. I cannot give a 100% that it is the same level on each but it does appear to be that way. This unfortunately makes my conclusion wary. If I had both sets of DVDs I think it would be easier to make a rock solid conclusion but unfortunately I cannot.
The apparent slightly higher bit rate would make the R1 the one to go for, but while the bit rate on the R2 is marginally lower, the picture is still good, but not awe-inspiring as perhaps a lot of us were hoping (however it does appear to be this way on the R1 too). Therefore it comes down to if you want to get up in the middle of the film to change discs. It might come as a welcome "bathroom break" as it is not a short film by any means, and so unless you think you will be able to see the difference in bit rate all the evidence seems to point to the region 2 DVD with it's better concept of single disc feature presentation.
Edge enhancement often gets picked up first by DVD enthusiasts in the US since it is much more the norm to have a 60" rear projection television or projector where as a lot of us in the UK have yet to go so large. Hopefully by the time we catch up, edge enhancement will have been left long behind.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) - December 8, 2012 --Authorities say a maid found 1,400 packets of heroin in a hotel room in eastern Pennsylvania and two men were arrested.
The Morning Call of Allentown reports it happened at the Comfort Inn in Bethlehem Township on Thursday afternoon. The maid found the bag containing 1,400 packets of heroin and turned the items over to her manager.
Police say the owner of the items went to the front desk and told the manager the items had been stolen. Hotel officials had already called police.
Bethlehem Township police arrested two men, but were still looking for a third who fled before officers arrived.

I got this tweak from Phil Bourdelon (sp?) while I was lurking in the #olpc-help IRC channel.
To keep the frame from popping up when you move the mouse into the corner of the screen place hash marks (#)in front of lines 56 and 57 in /usr/share/sugar/shell/view/frame/eventarea.py
The hash mark makes the line a 'comment' which means it is not executed when the file is run. This is the preferred method of tweaking system files because it is easily undone (by deleting the hash marks.)
The frame can still be activated using the frame button on the upper right of the keyboard.
Modifying system files is done in the terminal application using Vi, a text eitor. I opened this Vi tutorial in the Browse Activity for reference http://math.la.asu.edu/vi_tutorial/vi3.html

Request for Information (RFI): Studying the Roles of Cancer Stem Cells in Cancer Health Disparities
Notice Number: NOT-CA-10-001
Key Dates
Release Date: October 8, 2009
Response Date: December 31, 2009
Issued by
National Cancer Institute (NCI), (http://www.cancer.gov)
This Request for Information (RFI) is for information and planning purposes only and should not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the Federal Government, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The NCI does not intend to make any awards based on responses to this RFI or to otherwise pay for the preparation of any information submitted or for the Government's use of such information.
Purpose and Objectives
The NCI is soliciting input from the scientific community and the general public regarding the significance of studying the roles of cancer stem cells in cancer health disparities and potential priority areas/specific ideas for such studies. In this idea-gathering phase, suggestions are also sought from scientist consultants as well as other NIH Institutes and Centers. This RFI provides an opportunity for respondents to submit their own ideas.
Numerous studies have indicated that almost all the major human cancer types (i.e., those of breast, brain, colon, head, neck, liver, ovarian, pancreas, prostate, and leukemia) may involve self-renewing cells with the attributes of stem cells or progenitor cells that are referred to as cancer stem cells (CSCs; also called tumor initiating cells). Given the ability of CSCs to self-renew, incomplete elimination of these cells by anticancer therapies may allow for or lead to tumor recurrences in cancer patients.
Cancer health disparities, which are defined as differences in the incidence, prevalence, mortality, and burden of cancer between different peoples, exist among different population groups in the United States. While substantial efforts have been invested in the study of causes of cancer health disparities at both biological and extra-biological levels, very little research has been conducted to explore the roles of CSCs as possible contributing factors in cancer health disparities. With increasing evidence in support of a cancer stem cell hypothesis of carcinogenesis, it becomes critically important to understand the roles of CSCs in cancer health disparities among different racial/ethnic groups. Differences at the level of cancer stem cells may provide an attractive cellular/molecular basis to account for some of the disparities across different populations of cancer patients. For example, such differences could possibly explain why some populations have more aggressive cancer than other, or higher rates of disease recurrence, resistance to treatment, and metastasis, etc.
Given these potentially excellent scientific opportunities, efforts to study cancer stem cells in the context of health disparities are highly warranted. The NCI anticipates the need for such research over the next 5 to 10 years. Conceivably, these efforts could enhance our basic understanding of disparities as related to CSC mechanism. They could also inspire novel strategies for diagnoses and therapies that are based on targeting the cancer stem cells and/or their markers. Advances in both areas would be important contributions to achieving the goals of reducing and eliminating cancer health disparities.
Information Requested
NCI seeks novel ideas that will focus on basic research that eventually accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries in cancer stem cells to reduce cancer health disparities. The information gathered will be used for developing research opportunity for extramural investigators to promote and advance the research on cancer stem cells and cancer health disparities.
Responses will be accepted through December 31, 2009. Individuals, groups, and organizations interested in responding are invited to submit their idea(s) regarding specific relevant research problem(s) related to cancer stem cells in health disparities as well as their suggestions as to how this (these) problem(s) might be addressed. Responses should be limited to three pages and marked with this RFI identifier, NOT-CA-10-001. Responses are preferred in electronic format and can be e-mailed to email@example.com.
If you are willing to do so, please indicate your primary affiliation/role from the categories listed below:
Small Business;
Pharmaceutical/Biotechnology Industry;
Federal Government;
State Government;
Healthcare Professional;
Patient Advocacy Group; and
Other (briefly define).
Respondents will receive an automated email confirmation acknowledging receipt of their response, but will not receive individualized feedback.
Responses may be anonymous. All individual responses will remain confidential. Any identifiers (e.g., names, institutions, e-mail addresses, etc.) will be removed when responses are compiled. Only the processed, anonymized results will be shared internally with program and scientific working groups convened by the NCI, as appropriate. Nonetheless, no proprietary information should be submitted.

A barking dog got the last word Tuesday when a local woman took matters into her own hands rather than reporting the noise disturbance.
According to Ardmore Police Department reports, officers responded shortly after 11 a.m. to a shots-fired complaint in the 1500 block of Wildewood Drive. A witness told officers a woman screamed "shut up!" just seconds before three shots were heard.
The subsequent investigation identified the screamer as a neighbor. The woman wasn't armed with a weapon, but she did admit to being responsible for what sounded like gunfire. The woman said she had set off a series of fireworks.
The reason for the midday illegal use of firecrackers?
She said she was attempting to quiet the reporting party's dog, which was barking and disturbing her peace. The woman was cited for discharging fireworks within city limits.
What about the dog and its owner?
No citations were issued.

Regulatory Issues: More red tape
FDA proposes recordkeeping and administrative detention rules
In May, as expected, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published two proposed regulations in the Federal Register, both arising out of the Bioterrorism Act of 2002. One of the proposals concerns FDA's new authority to detain an article of food suspected of being contaminated. The other concerns the record-keeping requirements the Act imposes on the food industry and FDA's new authority to demand access to those records.
Hopefully, most food manufacturers won't encounter FDA's authority to detain contaminated food, and this regulation will be referred to only infrequently by food industry lawyers. The recordkeeping proposal, on the other hand, is something that will impact daily operations. Manufacturers will need to review their current recordkeeping practices to determine what, if any, changes will be required by the proposal and the final rule when it is published. This would include the content of records, how they are maintained, and the length of time they are maintained. What follows is a basic introduction to the two proposals.
Administrative detention
FDA has long enjoyed the authority to seize any food that is "adulterated" or "misbranded" while in interstate commerce, or after shipment in interstate commerce. In recent years, however, FDA has come to view the seizure action as procedurally cumbersome and an inefficient means to police food safety. Seizure actions must be brought by a local United States attorney acting on behalf of FDA, and they are governed by arcane rules for admiralty and maritime claims. As a result, actual seizure actions have become relatively rare.
Following the Bioterrorism Act, FDA's traditional authority to seize adulterated or misbranded food remained intact and was supplemented by the new administrative detention authority. This new authority applies in more limited circumstances. Specifically, it applies only when FDA has "credible evidence or information indicating that such article presents a threat of serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals." This goes beyond mere adulteration of food (e.g., contamination that may render the food injurious to health). The threat must involve a serious adverse health consequence. Note also that FDA only needs "credible evidence or information," not proof, to act under its administrative detention authority. This authority is intended to empower FDA to respond very quickly to a contamination incident. Presumably, the extent and nature of contamination, if any, will be further investigated while the food is under detention.
The procedures FDA must follow in ordering a detention under its new authority are vastly simpler than those followed in a traditional seizure action. According to its proposed regulations, FDA would simply issue a detention order to the owner, operator, or agent in charge of the place where the article of food is located. The detention order must include certain specified information, including a brief statement of the reasons for the detention. Any person who would be entitled to claim the detained food may appeal a detention order and request a hearing.
One noteworthy aspect of FDA's administrative detention authority is that one is hard-pressed to imagine a scenario in which this authority would be strictly necessary to respond to a suspected act of deliberate contamination. Any business entity in possession of a food or food ingredient that is implicated in an act of terrorism would almost certainly offer full cooperation to federal authorities. More likely, FDA will use or threaten to use its administrative detention authority against food that may have been contaminated under more mundane circumstances than terrorism, such as run-of-the-mill filth, microorganisms or chemical impurities.
At that point, it might be debated whether the Bioterrorism Act was intended to empower FDA with detention authority over accidentally contaminated food upon only "credible evidence or information." In an economic impact analysis it published with the proposed rule, FDA notes that the criteria for Class I recalls are similar to the criteria for administrative detentions. In addition, FDA states that administrative detentions may replace Class I recalls. This clearly signals the Agency's intent to apply its administrative detention authority in situations not involving intentional acts of food contamination. It seems likely that (1) FDA will prevail in any dispute about the scope of its authority in this regard; and (2) most food manufacturers holding food believed to be contaminated will cooperate with the Agency in any event.
In a nutshell, the Bioterrorism Act accomplishes two things with respect to recordkeeping. First, it grants FDA access to records regarding an article of food when FDA has a reasonable belief the food is adulterated and presents a threat of serious adverse health consequences. Second, it states that FDA may establish regulations that require the establishment and maintenance of records to identify the immediate previous source and the immediate subsequent recipients of food.
FDA's proposed regulation seeks to fill in many details regarding its access to records and the scope of the new recordkeeping requirement. Most food manufacturers already keep records that allow for the identification of the source and subsequent recipient of foods, with ingredients and finished products identified according to lot number. However, manufacturers should review FDA's proposal and assess the need to revise their recordkeeping practices accordingly.
Regarding the scope of the recordkeeping obligation, at least two questions arise: Who must keep the records, and what qualifies as "food" for which records must be kept? The proposal applies to "domestic persons" who manufacture, process, pack, transport, distribute, receive, hold, or import food intended for human or animal consumption in the United States. "Food" is defined for this purpose as it is elsewhere in the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to include finished food as well as components of food. Thus, the recordkeeping obligation extends well beyond manufacturers of finished food. It also includes, for example, manufacturers of food additives and warehouses where food additives or ingredients are stored.

Good Conservative Cartooning 2
He's a conservative cartoonist:
He doesn't draw wild extreme poses like Rod Scribner.
His comic panel layouts aren't as imaginative as Milt Gross'.
He does have style, but it's not overly self-conscious or dominating like say - later Chuck Jones cartoons.
What does he have instead? He has tons of skill. He has a beautiful sense of balance to his layouts and hierarchy.
His layouts are perfectly clear. He has enough style to make his cartoons appealing - they draw you into them.
Eisenberg has all his principles down. His fundamentals are completely solid. You don't see that in many cartoonists. In other words he's well-rounded. His drawings just look right in every way and there is an automatic appeal to just plain good drawings.
He is able to combine his own natural style with other styles - in this case with Ed Benedict's. Ed is a more daring cartoonist and that's why he is a character designer. His whole job is to think up striking combinations of shapes. Harvey's skills allow him to understand Ed's inventions and interpret them to make them functional in stories.
This is the kind of cartoonist you would love to have doing layouts on your cartoons. If he did the staging under an imaginative director, this would make the animators' jobs a lot easier. Your more imaginative animators would be freed up to think about the characters and take them to places Harvey wouldn't on his own.
But he can provide a solid backdrop for the stars. He makes it easier for the Rod Scribners of the world to shine in.
It's like a great singer being supported by a skilled band and a great arrangement. The whole band can't be going off in their own direction. They have to be tight and structured so that Frank Sinatra can meander a bit off the track. His stylistic meandering is noticed by the tightness of the accompaniment of the background. Also, he is highly skilled himself and knows all the fundamentals. His style came after his learning of how singing works.
This is why I love cartoon animation so much. It's a collaborative medium. There are so many skills and talents involved that no one artist could ever learn them all. Put a bunch together and find out their specialties, then let them grow together and the advances will be much greater and faster than any one artist alone.
Here's earlier Eisenberg - drawing in Hanna Barbera's Tom and Jerry style.
When is the best time to use the power of conservatism? WHEN YOU ARE LEARNING A NEW SKILL.
Like in school. That's where you should be able to learn fundamentals. You should not be searching for a personal style. That comes with time to a rare few.
Any time you learn something new, you should learn it slowly and carefully - the way it was done best traditionally.
The trick is separating principles from stylistic habits.
Many animation schools preach Disney fundamentals but are really encouraging you to copy their style or habits instead (after being degraded by multiple generations of Disney clones). Their cliches.
It's better to look at a lot of styles so you can see what is style and what is form and structure. Otherwise you have the danger of becoming a clone of someone else's style only with a broken mutated gene.
The better you can draw, the better you can recognize cliched habits against fundamentals.

I love how Wilma has these pretty black lips. I don't know exactly why, but it seems to make her look cuter.

I think with out a doubt to have any production work you have to have the right mix of liberal and conservative people and understand what they bring to the table. Liberal artists can break the old rules and make new ones that work. Conservatives can then follow those rules and make the rest of the production flow right. If you just have a bunch of people doing whatever they want you have no consistency to the production. If you don't have a liberal mindset behind the operation then it ends up very stagnant and even if the people are competent it won't be good.

Since we are talking about comic book art, I'm hoping someday you can talk to everyone about the old Superman comic book covers where he isn't trying to be cool. Where he just messes around with everybody and ruins people's days?
I found some examples too!
- John Young said...
Your excitement about bringing out the best in people is so awesome. That should be the number one job of a director. Nothing is more frustrating than knowing you have specific and hilarious things you could bring to a project and having no one take advantage of them.
- Trevor Thompson said...
I wonder what execs mean when they call a show 'stylized'? Because a lot of the shows that get called that usually don't have an individual style.

I think I have some of these comics somewhere.
I have some doubts about this whole theory. I'm sure you have addressed some of this before but I don't remember all the posts.
Isn't there some middle ground? Like people who are conservative in some aspects of their drawings and not so conservative in others.
Another thing that I don't know if you have covered, but you keep saying that not all people can develope a style. Well, generally, I think most people has some sort of style of their own, like when you see his drawings you can recognize his mark. Maybe what you mean is that they are influenced by other things and rarely they "invent" new things that would influence on others.
On one hand you seem to imply that developing a personal style is really difficult, but on the other hand you recognize that being a good conservative also implies great skills. Still you suggest the former is a more difficult thing than the second one, cause you have to learn the skills first and then develop an style. Am I right?
Is it more a state of mind or a difference in the skills or both?
I don't even know what type of cartoonist I am, cause I think I'm conservative in some aspects and not conservative in others.
- JohnK said...
I'm not saying you have to be one or the other. There are all degrees and many variations of talents and skills.
That's why I like the collaborative nature of cartoons.
And having skill is never a detriment to anything, whether you have a strong style or not.
But real style comes after the skill part.
- Vince M said...
JV: "Liberal artists can break the old rules and make new ones that work. Conservatives can then follow those rules and make the rest of the production flow right."
Do you realize how stupid you sound, JV?
Liberals, conservatives.
Do you really think that only liberals can bring something new to the table?
Is that what you're taking away from this?
- smbhax said...
I voted for Perot.
Wait what are we talking about?!?
From the nice examples you posted, I like Eisenberg doing Barbara's Tom & Jerry style much more than Benedict's Flintstones style. Less UPA, more golden-era-like, I suppose. Did he switch back and forth as needed, or did he move to the Eisenberg/Flintstones style and stay there?

North Seattle is a loosely-defined area, often including anywhere north of the Ship Canal that bisects the city. This article covers only the area between 85th St. and the city limits at 145th St. The neighborhoods to the south are collected in Ballard and the University District; to the north is the suburban city of Shoreline.
From west to east, the neighborhoods in North Seattle include Broadview, Bitter Lake, North Park, Haller Lake, Northgate, Maple Leaf, Pinehurst, and Lake City. The area is almost entirely residential, with the exceptions of the sprawling Northgate Mall, the gritty (albeit slowly gentrifying) commercial strip along Lake City Way, and the grittier (and staying that way) Aurora Avenue. There are few attractions of general interest,
Lake City's main drag, Lake City Way, while still the host of some creepy dive bars, thrift/pawn stores, and used car dealerships, is the focus of most urban development. New restaurants offering international cuisine are opening, and a 24 hour Starbucks is a sign that yuppie culture has arrived in Lake City.
Get in
By car
Major streets running north-south include Greenwood Ave., Aurora Ave., I-5, and Lake City Way (SR-522). For best results, go as far as you can on one of those streets before turning off. East-west streets are often interrupted by terrain and other obstructions - try using 130th St. and 105th St. west of the interstate, 125th St. and Northgate Way (effectively 110th St.) east of it. At the city line, 145th St. is unbroken all the way across.
By bus
The Northgate Transit Center, immediately south of the mall, is the hub for local service, as well as the Route 41 express bus to downtown and the 66/67 to the University District. The park-and-ride lots on all sides are free. Although the 41 runs frequently, neighborhood routes often drop down to hourly or half-hourly service. Using Metro Transit's trip planner [2] in advance is recommended.
Most runs on the 41 continue to Lake City Way, also served by the 72 (local service to the U-District) and 522 (express to downtown, no stops south of 125th St).
Sorry folks, there's still nothing you'd really want to go out of your way to see up here.
There are also, in the grand Seattle tradition, two Thai places right across the street from each other on Lake City Way: Chang's Thai and Thai One On (the latter being the better), as well as Toyoda Sushi and, a little west of downtown Lake City, the Enat Ethiopian restaurant.
Further south on Lake City Way, new development is taking place where Lake City meets the considerably nicer Maple Leaf.
For authentic Mexican food a world removed from the cliched, Americanized fodder served by chains, there is Mr. Villa near the intersection with 15th Ave. The tacos al carbon, homemade tortillas, and green salsa are not to be missed.
On 15th less than a block away is Anita's Indian Bistro which was voted 2nd best Indian food in Seattle, with rich and flavorful curries also available as sides for dipping naan.
Dick's Drive-In - Best food in Lake City (4 other around Seattle)
The Sugar Shack, a newly opened bakery near the intersection of Lake City Way and 15th, supplies an ever changing selection of cholesterol-boosting treats sure to please the palate and necessitate some cardiovascular exercise.
The Pho Binh on Lake City way offers fantastic Pho and Vietnamese sandwiches.
True to Seattle form, Starbucks are everywhere. If you were looking for alcoholic refreshments, Lake City's dives are your only recourse. There is a DRIVE-THRU liquor store near the THRIFT STORE on Bothell Way! I couldn't believe it, but there is such a thing.
There are no lodgings worth considering in North Seattle. Stay with friends, or look for more plentiful options downtown or in the U-District.
All branches of the Seattle Public Library offer free wireless access. Use of public, Internet-connected computers for up to an hour at a time is also free, though if you don't have a SPL library card, you must request a temporary login from the circulation desk.
Wi-fi is de rigeur in any self-respecting coffee shop.

Waiting for something to happen. People on a bench in Ostend, Belgium.
Why should you use a professional photographer instead of downloading an image from a stock library? Well there are many good reasons and I hope that photographers reading my blog find something useful here when pitching for new work and marketing themselves.
I've got nothing against stock libraries as such and in fact I contribute to a few. These days though the returns are diminishing and articles keep appearing challenging the viability of making a living as a traditional stock photographer. Enthusiasts and amateurs have swamped the stock library market with images and unfortunately designers and agencies, with pressure increasing on their budgets, all too quickly turn to stock libraries for their picture needs.
So it is becoming more important than ever for good professional photographers to differentiate themselves from the offerings of stock libraries.
Here goes...
When a company hires a pro photographer they get far more than an image file. They get the benefit of the photographer's experience, creativity, knowledge and insight. Essentially a company is not just paying for an image they are paying for that particular photographer's skill and ability.
With the current economic situation business is more competitive than ever before and a lot of companies are selling similar things. How can they make themselves stand out? The only way is to push their brand, to have something unique and instantly recognisable in the market place. So a style of imagery which is in line with the company's brand needs to be developed and kept consistent.
A company cannot differentiate itself by downloading a hotch potch of images from a stock library and trying to shoe horn them into their corporate brand. These images may well be gracing the adverts and brochures of their competitors too. The only way to get a truly unique image is to commission it or pay a stock library for exclusive rights, which would probably turn out more expensive than hiring a photographer in the first place.
A good professional photographer will take a brief and analyze the requirement in the context of what the client wants to achieve. The photographer will develop an understanding of the brand and how the company wants to portray itself, what makes it unique.
When it comes to the actual day of the photo shoot the ability to make last minute changes and explore spur of the moment creative opportunities can be invaluable. The client will also have excellent control over the quality of the final image. The client's creative team working together with the photographer means more brain power, skill and experience are brought to bare on solving the core issue of how to sell the product and market the company effectively through visual media.
Littering a company's website, brochure and sales leaflets with 1$ stock library images can cost that company a lot more than using a professional photographer because of the damage it can do to the brand, corporate identity and the image of the company. And when you think of the costs of designing, printing and delivering a marketing campaign then the cost of hiring a photographer is fairly small in the overall budget.
Hiring a good professional photographer is the only solution for a company that wants exclusive photographic imagery that sets it apart from competitors.
Unfortunately individual photographers are up against huge corporate stock library marketing machines when it comes to persuading agencies, designers and companies to make the right choice. But if we speak with one voice and consistently push the benefits forward of using a professional photographer we can hopefully start to redress the balance.
Comments and feedback welcome.

Digitech iStomp FX Pedal: iStomp This!
Digitech iStomp FX Pedal
The Pedal you'll Never Get Bored of!
The Digitech iStomp is an iOS-powered effects pedal, introducing you to the iStomp world. The iStomp connects to your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch via a DigiTech Smart Cable,* to unearth a wealth of effects possibilities. The iStomp is an entirely new concept in guitar stompboxes… your options are almost limitless.
So how does it work you ask. The iStomp works just like any other stompbox, with four parameter controls and a kick switch to turn the pedal on and off. BUT… that's not all! The iStomp uses the "Stomp Shop", a haven that allows guitar and bass players to load different pedals to the iStomp and try them with their own rig.
Try Before you Buy
You can try each effect for up to 5 minutes before you buy it, and all purchases are saved within the app so you can build up a wide ranging effects collection, keeping your pedal on its toes with a different effect every time.

A proposal to allow federal agencies to place senior civil servants accused of wrongdoing on unpaid leave cleared the House Wednesday by a 402-2 vote.
The Government Employee Accountability Act would allow agencies to put Senior Executive Service employees on unpaid administrative leave for up to 180 days if they are accused of misappropriation of funds or other job-related misconduct.
The bill -- sponsored by Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa. -- stemmed from the General Services Administration's notoriously lavish Las Vegas conference in 2010. Jeff Neely, the GSA senior executive who planned the conference, was put on paid leave while under investigation. He has since left the agency.
The legislation includes a provision to offer back pay to an executive found innocent of misconduct.
"The Government Employee Accountability Act gives agency heads more choices when handling cases of misconduct among SES employees," Kelly said in a statement, "and gives the American people the reassurance that when serious and flagrant abuses occur, there will be accountability and more options will be on table."
Reps. Jim Moran, D-Va., and Doris Matsui, D-Calif., voted against the bill.

WASHINGTON – A Virginia woman makes a point to get out and go jogging. A Texas mom stays in and snuggles her toddler a little closer. A nurse from Massachusetts looks over her shoulder more often while touring D.C.
Strains of defiance, tenderness and wariness are interwoven as Americans are forced to do some post-9/11 rebalancing in the aftermath of the Boston bombings, figuring out how to move forward with life while remaining vigilant against the threat of terrorism.
For Simone Rinaldi, playing tourist in Washington this week with her family, the twin bombings in Boston revived thoughts of the collapse of the Twin Towers in New York as she wondered if there would be other attacks and whether loved ones in Boston were safe.
"I've definitely been more cautious as we walk around," said Rinaldi, a nurse practitioner from Cape Cod, Mass.
Cautious, yes. But not cowed.
"The world is a really scary place, yet we have a life to live," she said from a park across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House. "The challenge is to take precautions, but again to not let our lives get small and live in fear."
Similar sentiment echoed around the country – from a Starbucks table in Los Angeles to a smoker's bench in Billings, Mont. – as people grappled with the balancing act involved in putting the week's events in perspective.
Jennifer Miller, a hospitality industry manager smoking a cigarette on that bench in Montana, said the marathon bombing made her think this: "It's at home in America. It happened here." But also this: "I refuse to live in fear of going anywhere or doing anything."
Such perspective is precisely what terrorists try to destroy, by provoking reactions far out of proportion to actual danger.
Horrific as the bombing was – three people died in Boston, with more than 170 injured – five people die in car, truck or motorcycle accidents every hour in the U.S. Terrorism pushes our fear buttons, says security expert Bruce Schneier, and we have an outsized response.
"Psychologically, we are primed to overreact," he said.
And that can cause people to surrender civil liberties without full deliberation in pursuit of safety and stronger law enforcement, as happened after 9/11, Schneier warns: "The fear is that this is an excuse to put us into a police state."
Around the country, people wondered whether the bombing would — and should — affect security restrictions.
Security may increase for a time, but "the sad thing is it always goes back to normal," said Lynn Chamberlain, a training coordinator at Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore.
"Now we're going to have to raise up not only our national security but our local security," said Zeke Reardon, a Denver electrician.
Terrorism peaked as a public concern just one month after the 9/11 attacks. In October 2001, Gallup found that 46 percent of Americans called terrorism the most important problem facing the country, up from less than 1 percent in the days before the attack.
It has not reached that level of importance since, and in surveys this year, it once again stood at less than 1 percent.
But while it may not be Issue No. 1, security nonetheless remains a priority for most Americans. In a January 2013 poll by the Pew Research Center, 71 percent said defending against terrorism should be a top priority for the president and Congress, down just 5 points from four years earlier.
In Seattle, accountant John Calhoun laments that young people may be desensitized to the threat of terrorism in the post-9-11 environment. He was troubled that his children, ages 13 and 21, weren't more upset as they watched news about the marathon bombing unfold on TV.
"It's a different world than we used to think we lived in," Calhoun said, wearing a half-marathon shirt from a past race as he ran stairs at the Seattle Art Museum's Olympic Sculpture Park on a sunny Tuesday afternoon.
Runners, in particular, seemed to push back against the notion that the marathon bombing could intimidate Americans.
Spontaneous running events popped up around the country, and social media was filled with posts from those pulling on their sneakers to send a message.
"I am going running today as a small sign of support for Boston and to show those responsible for the tragic events that we are stronger than they are," Ironman CEO Andrew Messick said in an email to athletes.
Tammi DeVan, in Alexandria, Va., did just that. "Jogged a couple miles for those who will never be able to again," she posted on Facebook.
For some Americans, the bombing was reason to slow down at least for a moment, and to hope it would bring Americans closer together.
"Usually at this time of day, I am looking for an excuse to get out of my house," Nancy Worth, a mother of four in Plano, Texas, posted on Facebook on Tuesday. "Today I feel happy to stay home, do mundane things like laundry, and snuggle Sammy," her 2-year-old.
"What's important right now is that it brings us closer together in times of tragedy," said Kathryn King, a Baltimore pediatrician who grew up not far from where the Virginia Tech shootings unfolded six years ago. The Boston bombings reminded her of how her neighbors in Virginia "taught the nation how it is to stand together and heal."
There may be a lesson for all Americans in the reaction of those injured in the Boston bombings.
Dr. Horacio Hojman, associate chief of trauma at Tufts Medical Center, which treated some of the injured, said that despite the seriousness of their injuries, patients were in surprisingly good spirits when they were brought in.
"Despite what they witnessed, despite what they suffered, despite many of them having life-threatening injuries, their spirits were not broken," he said. "And I think that should probably be the message for all of us that this horrible act of terror will not bring us down, and I think that the patients were the ones who say that the loudest."
David Lee, a truck driver from Lansing, Mich., gave voice to both that unbroken spirit and the worries that nag at Americans as they grapple with an unknown source of the terror.
"They want everyone to alter their lives again. And I said to myself, 'Well, I'm not going to get all wrapped up in this,'" Lee said.
But he also allowed: "When you're alone at night, in the dark, it worries you. It affects you. You think about the people that someone thought were expendable for them to get their point across."
Associated Press writers Stacy A. Anderson, Seth Borenstein, and AP Director of Polling Jennifer Agiesta in Washington, Donna Blankinship in Seattle; Shaya Tayefe Mohajer in Los Angeles, Alex Dominguez in Baltimore, Matthew Brown in Billings, Mont., Jay Lindsay in Boston, Alexandra Tisley in Denver and Alanna Durkin in Lansing, Mich., contributed to this report.

Angelina Jolie Just Can't Seem to Remember to Eat
Angelina Jolie is a frail, skeletal wisp of a woman. A beautiful skeletal wisp, but a wisp nonetheless. And now it appears that she is getting wispier, on account of the fact that, well, she just plum "forgets to eat."
That is a thing that one mustn't forget to do! According to Grazia magazine, Angie is subsisting on a meager 600 calories a day, putting the 5-foot 8-inch willow plant at just under 100 pounds. And whether it is because she is too busy corralling her six United Colors of Benetton children, juggling the crazy schedule of an actor/writer/director, shouldering all of the world's burdens on her thin, birdlike shoulders, or because she has decided to shed what little pounds she has left, the point is that someone needs to get this pretty lady a pizza pie. Or a Filofax so she can better schedule her meals.

Glastonbury differs from other major rock festivals in that it has an underlying ethos: To make the world a better place. Programmed by Billy Bragg, the Left Field endeavours to give that ethos some edge by bringing together activists and artists who strive to articulate that better world through argument and song.
Left Field begins with two daily panels where left-wingers convene to discuss and debate how to build a fairer society. Contributions from the audience are always welcome.
That's followed by the Radical Round-Up, which pitches up-and-coming topical songwriters in with festival veterans to take turns in sharing their songs.
The early evening comedy spot brings biting satire into the mix before they bring on the bands. Left Field has a tradition of bringing young artists together with those who have spent their careers speaking out on the issues of the day and this year is no exception.
Here's the full 2013 programme:
FRIDAY 28th JUNE
12.00 Panel: The Ideology of Austerity – how should the left respond to the cuts? Featuring Owen Jones

that brunete does have a clean tight looking pussy id lick that for days
My wife says we can do this on my birthday.so now she is looking for a another girl to have sex with use
anyne waannna join me and my bf so i can lick their pussy??
That's how I want my threesome. My husband just wants to fuck me in a threesome while I lick the girl anyway, but I do want to watch him fuck another girl while she licks me too. I think it would be sooo hot. Any takers? ha ;)
My wife friend, recently divorced, kids off to college, home alone... My wife invited her out to dinner with us and we had desert at her place, I had no idea, they planned the whole thing without me knowing about it. This gal was so hot, must have been years since she was fucked in the right way. She said she is tossing out all her toys as long as I'm around. My wife is so special to me, she will do video of our three way next time and we'll post it here. We are taking her on a cruise next month and wow, I better get my rest now because I'm going to need it at sea!
This is a case where the guy must be great at talking his wife into this, because he sure ain't a good fuck! Then again, maybe she IS aware he's a bad fuck, and SHE is the one bringing the women into bed!
any sexy ladies wanna join my gf and i?
The wife & I love threesome with her girlfriend wife is blond & also her girlfriend is blond she loves eating the wifes pussy when I bang her then we switch off threesome's are the best when you when you have to hot woman who love to fuck & suck
that brunette has such a nice tight clean looking pussy! i love these ones, such small slits
i got erotic massage by two woman. it was very funny and amazing. on my two sides.. woww yeahhh..
Those chicks are gorgeous! The blond one in particular I like just because I have seen her in other videos comes off as a very gregarious person.
Lamest fucking threesome I've ever seen! What a waste of my time!
Had my first three sum about a month ago. Friday I will be joining them again! So excited!
I want to eat pussy as I am getting fucked hard. My pussy is so wet and clit so hard right now.
seriously... i pity the guy in this vid. i like to partake a lot more in a threesome than just some fucking. boring.
YES to JESS
woulda been better if the guy didnt seem like a third wheel, it was kinda awkward watching him, like "DUDE, FUCK THAT PUSSY!" aha poor girls...i loved watching em but seriously find a new husband xD
So, this guy thinks he is in a threesome? He was just invited to watch!! LOL
Jess has the best ass and pussy I've seen in awhile.
wow bro, you missed out, thats not a three some, thats a girl makin your girl cum while you fucked her..... are you missin the point??
im a girl and im in love with her puffy lips, its hottt
My wife is not even bi-curious but all the ffm threesomes we have done so far (4-5) have been much hotter than this. Women are fine at the beginning but then it get's boring, even when the mofo is out of the picture. To do something, even as simple as that, you can use a bit of imagination, not just repeating porn scenes
Would love a threesome with another couple,always fancied trying it with a woman
Ellen, my female cat is facinated by your video. She is sitting outside on the window looking AC glued to the images.
Go Air Force!
Docs ace of spades
2 nice looking mouths, and NO cum swallowing.....WHAT THE FUCK???
this guy is so lucky
I wish I could get my girl to have a there some
I been thinking about asking my wife if we could bring in other lady into are sex life and after watching this i really what to due this so if anyone have any ideas how i can talk to my wife about this will you please let me know.
They'd raise the dead- Nice.
My god that was hot espilly watching the two hot women eating each other out. What great bodies they both have I would have loved to see them pussy fuck each other. That is something I have always wanted to do but never had the luck is to have a threesome with two women. I hope maybe one day it will happen for me.
OMG I want both girls!
I would get the pussy lick it till she yells and put my finger in her hot pussy and put my pussy on hers and rub it to get there then tell her to do the same to me
Damn. That one blonde girl had one nice fat pussy.
love to join a club like this and willing to try this out if anyone out let me
I have fucked the brunette before. She loves sex and with as many different people as possible. Her pussy is beyond tight an can she ever suck a dick. Just beware she isn't n the pill and loves to get cummed in lol
Her name is Lindsay Taylor. She was in the Air Force Reserve in Warner Robins, Georgia. She has done bang bus and a couple of other sites too. She loves cock and loves to fuck lol
That fine with me if she let me cum inside her tight pussy. I would love to see and put my cock in her pussy and see how tight she is
Been in a threesome any way you can cut it - me, her, and him; me, her, and her; mix any of those situations together and you get an idea. Watching this, it's apparent that this poor jarhead spent too much time in the military, and can only dick doggystyle, like he did the boys in his corps. Such a pity, I'd give those girls what they want and deserve, nothing less or nothing more.
Wow, I feel SO sorry for you! Not a sound from you & you even looked bored at time. Clearly the problem lies with a severe lack of a firm but wet grip & the skill of even remotely pleasing a man. More interested in the other woman because she has a very slack pussy? I'd say so... You wanna get out there & try out a nice, tight grip, see what you are missing out on ;)
Got my boyfriend into our first 3-some with another guy. Coolest experience ever. we sucked the other guy off together until he came in our mouths and then fucked my boyfriend in a crazy way with the other guys cock in our mouths. 3-some is the way to go!!
so fuking hott i am so horny
i need some hard dick,,,
2 splendide,bellissime porche da sogno
while in college, I was dating this girl and we were having sex at her apt, when her roommate walked in on us. My gf asked her roomie, here's your chance to join in. Most of the times after that, it was the 3 of us, and no jealousy involved. I also liked watching them together, but I always had to join after a while
i luv doing things like that so i wish to find a boy and fuck
2 pussies are always better than one
doesnt matter if hes good or not, youre paying his salary by watching him XD
Yea, I want to fuck the hell out of Jess!
Seen a bunch of vids with this couple and I feel sorry for the wife! I mean she is such a beautiful lady and her husband and all his friends fuck like it's their first time.

Coup Captures Hilltop Stakes
Coup Captures Hilltop Stakes
BALTIMORE, 05-18-12 – Augustin Stable's Coup carried John Velazquez to his third winner on Friday's Black-Eyed Susan Day card, capturing the $100,000 Hilltop Stakes at Pimlico Race Course with a strong stretch run.
Seanchai and Anna Sophia battled for the lead in the 1 1/16-mile test on the firm turf but could not hold off Coup in the run to the finish line. Coup prevailed by a length over Seanchai while running the distance in 1:42.71. Ainsley finished third.
Trained by Graham Motion, Coup had broken her maiden in her previous race at Gulfstream Park on a sloppy main track. The daughter of Empire Maker paid $5 to win.
Hilltop Stakes Quotes
Graham Motion (winning trainer, Coup) – "She ran super. She ran like I hoped she would. She doesn't want to get to the lead too early because she gets to looking around like she did in Florida. Johnny rode her confidently."
John Velazquez (winning jockey, Coup)– "She did it pretty easy, kind of stalking the speed. When I pulled her out she was there. She takes the lead and she wants to wait, so there's more there than what she gave me. I think she'll get better."
Leigh Delacour (trainer, Seanchai, 2nd)-- "Kendrick rode a winning ride. It was a solid pace. She ran good."
Mike Smith (jockey, beaten favorite, Anna Sophia)– "She broke well, very relaxed. That extra sixteenth of a mile might be stretching it."
