Theodora Erikson was born in Oscoda, Iosco County, Michigan, near the shores of Lake Huron on 22 January 1907. She was the seventh of nine children of Charles and Natale Erikson, who had come to America from Sweden in 1882. "Teddy" earned a Life Certificate in teaching from Ypsilanti State Teachers College in Michigan before she was twenty years old, and taught in several rural and urban communities, including Alcona County, Michigan.
She met and married Ray Cooper, a physician, and they took up residence in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In Albuquerque, Teddy earned a Bachelors of Science degree in education from the University of New Mexico in 1948. She began teaching for the Albuquerque Public Schools. She was assigned to the elementary school at the semi-secret atomic weapons installation in southeast Albuquerque, known as Sandia Base.
Sandia Base was the follow-on to the Manhattan Project and thus was the nation's premier nuclear weapons base throughout most of the Cold War. At Sandia Base Elementary School, Teddy Cooper taught the children of highly trained military personnel and civilian nuclear scientists. She spent twenty-five years at Sandia Base Elementary School before retiring.
Mrs. Cooper became very popular with her students, her colleagues, and the Sandia Base parents. She frequently teamed with her friend and colleague, Nathalie Harshman, to team-teach various subjects. Around the state of New Mexico, she was regarded as an expert in the teaching of arithmetic, and frequently was called upon to attend teacher conferences to demonstrate her techniques. She also enjoyed and excelled at the teaching of reading.
Teddy Cooper was active in the Association of American University Women and the New Mexico Council of Teachers of Mathmatics. She founded the Junior Red Cross chapter at Sandia Base Elementary School. Her students recall and describe her as especially empathic with a great sense of humor.
On Friday, November 22, 1963, Mrs. Cooper had dismissed her class for lunch. When the students returned, most had already heard the tragic news and were not surprised to find their fourth grade teacher weeping openly over the murder of the President of the United States. The President had visited Sandia Base less than a year earlier and his motorcade had passed down Wyoming Boulevard which ran directly adjacent to the school's front lawn. Over the next several weeks, Mrs Cooper made special efforts to help her students cope with the emotional depresssion that had settled like a fog over the entire nation.
Teddy's husband, Ray, died an early death and she never re-married. They had one child, Foster Cooper.
Theodora Erikson Cooper died on Sunday, June 4, 2006. She was 99 years old. She is buried in Oscoda, Michigan.

April 18. This day in history: the first Action Comics issue featuring Superman was published in 1938, Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle led the historic aid raid on Tokyo in 1942, and the boys' lacrosse team at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy recorded its first Inter-Ac League victory in 2013.
After a scoreless opening quarter, the host Blue Devils scored twice in the second period last Thursday, then went up 5-0 in the third quarter before the visiting Germantown Academy Patriots got on the board. SCH went on to win, 7-2, raising its record to 8-3 overall and 1-3 in the league, while GA slipped to 1-10, 0-4.
"It's huge for us because we finally broke the ice, and from a confidence perspective, it's what we needed," said fourth-year head coach Mike DelGrande, who is also the school's athletic director. "I feel so good for our guys because they've worked so hard for this, and it's what they've wanted."
Back in the spring of 2005, the old all-male Chestnut Hill Academy became the last Inter-Ac school to take up the sport of lacrosse. The Blue Devils played many club teams in those early years as they prepared to try and break into one of the toughest interscholastic lax leagues in the country. Reigning champion Haverford School has polled in the top spot in country several times, and most of the other Inter-Ac teams have earned high national rankings during their most successful seasons.
In last week's landmark win, SCH received a game-high four goals from junior Tasso Karras, who made one solo strike and received assists on his other scores from classmates Jackson Kleintz and Kyle Lawlor and from senior Pete Nicolo. Nicolo also set up a goal by senior Clint Sanders, who scored twice, while fellow 12th-grader Evan Fireman furnished the other goal for the Blue Devils.
Sanders will be playing at Widener University next year and classmate Forrest Rall will be performing for Ithaca College. It was tremendously gratifying for this year's seniors to be able to leave the program with at least one Inter-Ac victory.
"It what we've worked for the past four years, and it's finally come together," said Sanders. "We could tell we were ready to do this from the way that we've played in the non-league games, and the way we've competed in the league games."
The Devils found rough going in league outings against Malvern Prep and Haverford School, but in a 9-3 loss to Episcopal Academy they played well in the second half after falling behind 5-1 before the break.
"I thought a lot of the time, we played with them for the most part," Sanders said. "Out of the league, I think our hardest game was against Manheim Township, and we rose to the challenge. We really jumped on them early, and then our defense dominated them."
Inter-Ac observers felt that the Devils' first league victim might well be Germantown Academy. New head coach Brian Grady, formerly an assistant coach with the Patriots for eight years, is rebuilding a GA program that took a huge graduation hit at the end of last season.
In Thursday's match the opening face-off was won by SCH's Wyn Rall, Forrest Rall's twin brother. The Blue Devils spent much of the initial three minutes on attack, as GA successfully killed the first penalty of the day. With five minutes remaining in the opening quarter, the Patriots briefly thought that they had scored the icebreaker, but the ball had actually burrowed into the net on the outside of the goal frame, and the period ended with the score still 0-0.
Springside Chestnut Hill again took the initiative as the second quarter got underway, and with 7:31 to go before halftime Sanders scooped up the rebound of a teammate's shot and converted for the game's first goal. Nicolo fed to Karras for a score with 4:57 on the clock, and the 2-0 tally held up until the intermission, when CHA had an 11-5 advantage in the shot column.
A little over two minutes into the third quarter, GA headed up the field on a promising transition charge, but the Patriots floated a pass a little too high as they approached the attack zone, and the ball was picked off by SCH's Lawlor.
The scoreboard stayed stuck at 2-0 while each side killed off a penalty, then the Blue Devils' offense got moving again with 6:15 left in the quarter. Nicolo earned his second assist as he delivered the ball inside to Sanders, who scored from a few feet off the right edge of the crease. Just 35 seconds later, Fireman deposited a bounce shot to give the home team a 4-0 advantage.
"It was important to get those first couple goals and then build it from there," said the Devils' DelGrande. "By the time they were able to score, it didn't shake our confidence and we still felt we had control of the game. We played very well defensively today; we stepped up and basically took everything away from them."
GA called a time-out following the fourth SCH marker, but when play resumed the next goal also belonged to the Blue Devils, thanks to a solo effort by Karras with 2:13 on the clock. The SCH shutout did not survive the third quarter, though, as GA sophomore James Diver corralled the rebound of a teammate's outside shot and jammed the ball in with 1:28 to go.
The third round ended with the score 5-1, and that figure was still on the board six minutes into the final quarter, as both teams had to cope with penalties. Down the stretch, SCH's Karras sandwiched his third and fourth goals around a Patriot score by freshman Matt Ho, who received an assist from junior Max Derham.
The final shot totals showed 21 attempts for SCH, and a dozen for the Patriots. Each playing a half in the Blue Devils' goal cage, as usual, junior Xander Pacilio (the starter) and sophomore Matt Eccles each recorded four saves. For GA, sophomore Ian Davies went the distance in the net, coming up with a total of 10 stops.
Springside Chestnut Hill scheduled just one game against Haverford and Malvern this spring, so the Devils are done with those two Inter-Ac squads for 2013. However, they still have to play a home-away series with Penn Charter, as well as rematches against Episcopal and GA.
"We're still going to be considered the underdog in a lot of league games," DelGrande remarked after Thursday's milestone victory, "but getting this first win relieves a lot of pressure."

KDE4, the Anti-Cloud Desktop
Trust No One
Ever since the mid-1990s, pundits have predicted that the Internet and the desktop would merge. However, exactly what that means has taken time to emerge. Today, the most common vision is that the desktop will be reduced to the launchpad for online applications, which is the premise for Google's Chrome Operating System.
But, unperceived by most people, another possibility is now being defined in the KDE 4 series of releases: a vision of desktop-oriented computing in which individual applications are enhanced by Internet resources without being dependent on them, and all online interaction is not funneled through a browser. This vision of the merger of the Internet and the desktop seems a far healthier alternative than accepting online applications -- so much so that I believe that which of these visions wins out could directly determine the survival of free software.
By that, I do not mean that freely available source code is in any danger of disappearing. Rather, I mean that the goals of the free software movement -- loosely speaking, the complete control of computers by their users -- will become impossible if online applications become the core of personal computing.
Common Origins, Different Goals
At first, this statement may seem an exaggeration. After all, both online applications and what I am calling the expanded desktop both originate largely in the free and open source software (FOSS) community.
The idea of online applications -- in fact, most of what was called Web 2.0 a couple of years ago -- could hardly exist without FOSS's example of giving something away for free. If you investigate, many online applications have close connections to FOSS. ThinkFree Office originated as an office suite that supported GNU/Linux, while the apparently defunct Ajax series of applications were developed by Michael Robertson, best known for the founding of the Linspire distribution of GNU/Linux. Similarly Google Docs, perhaps the most successful online apps, were created by a company whose business model has always been heavily based on FOSS development.
As for the expanded desktop, its main proponent is KDE, one of the two most popular interfaces for FOSS operating systems. As with online applications, you can probably find examples of proprietary companies that support concepts similar to the expanded desktop, but, so far as I know, only KDE has articulated it as a development goal. KDE developer Aaron Seigo has gone so far as to suggest that it is a development of the desktop in which FOSS can take the lead.
Yet, despite this common origin, online applications and the expanded desktop are nearly complete opposites. With online applications, control of the software remains with its provider. Users are dependent upon the provider allowing them access, and choose (often, no doubt, without stopping to think that they are making a choice) to trust that the provider will honor their privacy and adequately secure their files.
In many cases, they have no way to determine for themselves that the provider is doing these things properly. Often, the only indication that the provider is not acting properly is when a problem arises, as those who had downloaded George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four from Amazon recently found out when Amazon unilaterally decided to delete their purchases.
In other words, users of online applications are in exactly the same position as users of proprietary applications. Just as most users have no way of knowing whether Microsoft Office is recording and transmitting their actions, so users of online applications can never know how their data is being handled. Nor do most online applications make source code available, any more than proprietary desktop applications do. If anything, ensuring privacy and security is even harder with online applications than with an application on your hard drive, because you lack the accessibility and leisure to investigate.
By contrast, with the expanded desktop, the control of Internet applications remains firmly in the user's hands. You might make a rash choice about what application to let in past your firewall or SELinux, but you do not need to take anything on trust. You or your system administrator can know exactly what privacy and security measures are being taken, and when.
For example, in the current release of KDE, you can use the new geolocation support to connect to locate other KDE users nearby so that you can socialize or exchange information. If you want information about the music album you are playing in Amarok, you can access Wikipedia without troubling to open up your browser. If you want to download your photos from Facebook, you can do so from within digiKam. Although these are far from the first applications to access the web directly, the extent to which the latest releases of KDE applications are doing so amounts to an integration of the desktop and online resources that provides a clear alternative to the idea of online applications.

Wave of appellate arguments continues in August at 6th Circuit and 7th Circuit
July 28, 2014
Next month, same-sex couples in six different states will get their day in court at the federal appellate level when the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the 6th Circuit and the 7th Circuit hold oral arguments in a wide range of legal cases seeking the freedom to marry or respect for marriages between same-sex couples legally performed in other states.
The arguments at the 6th Circuit will take place on August 6, and on Friday, the 7th Circuit announced its rescheduled date: August 26. A 3-judge panel from both circuit courts will hear arguments in the 10 different marriage cases. Here is a breakdown of each case that will be heard at the appellate level this month:
In the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, on August 6 (Keep up on all of the news for the 6th Circuit marriage cases at www.6thCircuit.org):
- Kentucky's Bourke v. Beshear & Love v. Beshear: On Feb. 12, a federal judge ruled in this case, brought by private firms Clay Daniel Walton & Adams and Fauver Law Office, that Kentucky must respect the marriages of same-sex couples legally performed in other states. On July 1, the same judge ruled in a related case, Love v. Beshear, brought by two unmarried same-sex couples who intervened in the case. In that decision, the judge struck down the Kentucky marriage ban altogether. Notably, the Kentucky Attorney General, Jack Conway, announced that he would not appeal the ruling - but an appeal was still filed by KY Gov. Beshear.
- Michigan's DeBoer v. Snyder: On March 21, a federal judge ruled in favor of the freedom to marry in this case, striking down the marriage ban for same-sex couples. For the next 24 hours, more than 300 same-sex couples across the state received marriage licenses in Michigan until the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals granted a stay in the decision. The state is now appealing the ruling.
- Ohio's Obergefell v. Wymyslo & Henry v. Himes: On Dec. 23, a federal judge ruled in Obergefell v. Wymyslo that the state of Ohio must respect the marriages of same-sex couples legally performed in other states for the purpose of listing surviving spouses on death certificates. In April 2014, in a separate federal case, Henry v. Himes, the same judge ruled that Ohio must respect all married same-sex couples who wed in other states for all state purposes. Both cases were brought by private firms Gerhardstein & Branch Co., LPA and Newman & Meeks Co., LPA, with the ACLU joining Obergefell and Lambda Legal joining Henry.
- Tennessee's Tanco v. Haslam: On March 14, a federal judge ordered state officials to respect the marriages of three same-sex couples whose lawsuit, Tanco v. Haslam, challenges the state's marriage ban. The couples are represented by the National Center for Lesbian Rights.
In the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, on August 26:
- Indiana's Baskin v. Bogan, Midori Fujii v. Commissioner of the Indiana State Department of Revenue, and Lee v. Abbott: On June 25, a federal judge ruled in favor of the freedom to marry in these three consolidated cases, striking down the marriage ban for same-sex couples. For the next several days, hundreds of same-sex couples across the state received marriage licenses from Indiana until the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals granted a stay in the decision. A stay is not in effect in a prior ruling granting emergency legal respect for the marriage of two Hoosier women, one who is facing a terminal illness.
- Wisconsin's Wolf v. Walker: On June 6, a federal judge ruled in favor of the freedom to marry in Wisconsin, striking down the marriage ban for same-sex couples. Over the next several days, as the judge mulled whether to officially issue a stay in the case's final order, hundreds of same-sex couples received marriage licenses from Wisconsin.
Previously this year, the freedom to marry was reviewed by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals and the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in cases out of Utah, Oklahoma, and Virginia. In the Utah and Oklahoma cases, the 10th Circuit affirmed the lower court ruling. A decision is still pending in Virginia.
As these cases are considered at the appellate level, decisions from federal appellate courts will multiply. We hope to win them all, expect to win many, and may even lose some. But our eyes, as always, are on the prize, and we are focused on making sure that elected officials, judges, and the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court all know that America is ready for the freedom to marry, and for them to do the right thing and bring the country to national resolution.
The national strategy has always been to win marriage nationwide in the Supreme Court, and the key to encouraging the Court to finish the job has always been to work the tracks of the Roadmap to Victory: growing public support, winning marriage in more states, and ending federal discrimination.
"Freedom to Marry's aim is not just to get to the Supreme Court, but to win in the Supreme Court," Evan Wolfson said earlier this year. "As we reach the federal appellate courts with momentum and majority support in every region of the country, it's clear that America is ready for the freedom to marry."
Over the past year, marriage supporters have celebrated as 28 consecutive rulings have been issued in favor of the freedom to marry, with no losses. Read about all 28 of those rulings HERE.
And follow the more than 75 marriage cases working their way through the courts systems in 32 different states/territories with Freedom to Marry's Litigation resource.

NOTE: This thread does not flame against Atheism, but it does criticise it. It displays my definition of Atheism which seems to be not for the general public. If you can't deal with criticism towards Atheism you are in the wrong discussion.
Additionally the fear of extremism is directly linked to very seemingly possible distant futures NOT THE NEXT 2 YEARS.
First of all I would like to say I am mostly against all sorts of organized religions, but in fact I am agnostic. (meaning I dont admit defeat to any superpower untill there is enough evidence to support it)
In my opnion there is a big issue that does not tend to be adressed with religion in the right way. People always complain about how close minded religion really is and that most of their followers are just blindly pusuing the herd. Though how much "better" is atheism really?
Atheism is by my language's definition a religion itself. The translated definition of religion in German and Dutch state that a belief turns into a religion once the belief itself sets an definition of how the world works.
People think atheism is about the "we dont know" factor, but it is not. Atheism preeches the "We know YOU are wrong" factor.
I absolutely agree with the fact that atheism not being an organized religion (yet) gives it a higher level logical acceptance, but where is it going?
Atheism used to be the outcast lunatics hanged to death. Now there are groups forming all over the world with "logical leaders" behind it. I honestly think atheistm is goign in the same direction as all other religions are going right now. How far do you think you are of having atheism's jehovas whitnesses at your door? I have listened to my lesser educated/informed friends rampage about religion after having seen one biased documentary (Religulous). They were making statements such as, "I am gonna kill all those who believe in religion" etc. This is nothing more than atheist extremism. Even on this webiste it seems that some topics are purely places here ase a response to rage/anger against religious people.
This brings you to the discussion that should be here, maybe even istead of this entire website (not hating at the website, this place is great), "Are we too unintelligent?"
The reason people follow blindly what is set right infront of them is because they are uninformed and scared of complecated explanations that undermine the value of their own existence in this universe.
Religion is part of the problem, but education is in an infinitely worse state.
(Again I am not hating at atheism, as I am far more happy with it that even Buddism, but merely pointing out a more pressing issue. Next year Ill be attending univesity where I hope to find more who have brought themselves up to date with the real issues)
*EDIT: removed the word absolute from the definition of atheism, this is not correct.
*EDITEDIT:Updated description
Views: 365
For you may be.
In the entire discussion i had with you you made no arguements for your idea of the belief and merely asked me questions which i answered.
If you don't wish to argue without getting defensive instantaneously don't stay here.
Your question implies that one or the other is SUPPOSED to be "better."
Being an atheist isn't about being "better" it's about accepting reality as it is. It's about the truth. Whether I like it or not, whether it's better or not, there is no divine power whatsoever. It's that simple.
I used better for the lack of better term. You should understand what I really mean
Also a human always should try to better oneself
I see what you mean, but if you follow my trail of thought it all comes down to people being uneducated adn therefore atheism startign to fall into categories with religions containing deities.
But maybe its just me reading into things as I believe it is I see more reasons supporting my claim cause they stand out more.
Even if that is what I do the issue is complecated there is nothing that will change that. The arguement of atheism vs religion is invalid so long education at primary and higher levels up to below university does nto improve.
Kim, I am sorry, but as an "Agnostic" (Atheist in training), you do no seem to under stand just what an Atheist is.
As to whether we feel we are better, or smarter, it is like observing a hollow log and understanding that the tree died, rotted, harbored zillions of insect life, etc. etc. instead of being one of the herd who pick up sticks and poke the log to see if the "Unga Ka Pulla" will emerge and grant us wishes.
Atheism is the refusal to place any significance of some dogma that can not in any way prove the existence of a supernatural, anything.
Lastly don't blame us for occasionally displaying anger, when in some places we are still burned, hacked to death, buried alive, and in the Christian teaching, just Hated.
Good luck on your travel toward true rational thinking, we will be waiting for you.
Atheism is a non-belief in any type of external deity (or that evidence for the existence of such deity exists) and cannot be seen in any shape or form as a religion. Naturally you will get radical atheists, angry atheists, even disillusioned atheists who revert to religion; that is human but it does not imply that atheism is on the road to becoming a religion. Many theologians and philosophers even struggle to classify Buddhism as a religion; it certainly isn't one in the theistic sense and in fact is atheistic in the sense that Buddhists don't believe in external deities.
Religions require faith in something which is prescribed/described by means of scriptures (which may have been been an oral tradition earlier) of some sort; practiced in terms of rituals and traditions; contains philosophies steeped in mysticism etc etc. Religions are more often than not accompanied by a variety of forms of sanction and punishment if not adhered to; offer incomprehensible and impossible rewards if you do and try to manipulate the lives of adherents in a number of ways. Atheism fails in each case to qualify and will continue to do so. I cannot see how it will ever be possible to use a NON-belief to apply these sanctions etc.
Whether atheism is "better' is a judgement call; this depends on your subjective views, your expectations and your logic and grasp of reality. If your understanding of what atheism (and for that matter this includes your view of different religions) actually is, is faulty, so too will be your judgement of whether it is 'better' or not.
"better" is also a loaded term; better for what, whom, in what sense, when, etc etc.?
Thank you for this reply, this was absolutely true, but is it still?
Of course did the church have huge power over education not too long ago, but how much effect do they have on it now.
I think the infinite loop of religion corrupting education and hence more people being "people of faith" is starting to fade. Just check the educational materials provided for todays youth and compare it to before world war II.
I think expendatures such as defense should be eliminated almost completely and go into education and research, but hey who listens to the kids of the world.
I read four pages of responses, so I hope that I'm not repeating someone else's point here that came later. What often happens to get people fired up is the realization that they've been lied to about how the world works. In your friend's over the top claim of wanting to "kill", you'll often find that with people whom are new to the subject. Maybe they haven't really been paying attention before and now that they are aware of a sample of the information they assume that it's actionable. Reality is that it isn't actionable until you have a lot of information.
I've been an Atheist (or at least a non-believer) my whole life but I didn't get fired up until after 2001. The political rhetoric forced me out of my religious indifference cave. I was vocal and defensive at the time. Today I speak about it, get frustrated, but in no way do I want others to not have religion. I really think that it's fairly representative of the process that we go through. Of course, it is simply anecdotal.
That being, reacting to the reaction should be muted as well to bring it down to a normal conversation. The best way to fight the mob mentality is to speak more quietly so that people actually have to listen to hear what is being said. Just an opinion.

So since only one person here really knows anyone at my work, and I know Dagg is a fucking vault....I got the job I was REALLY hoping for. I'm fucking SO STOKED.Now to deal with the next 5 weeks before I'm released from training to the new venture.
Mesh I'm butthurt you didn't hit me up while in my city.
Congrats on everyone's good fortune.Went to see Cirque Du Soleil ...this is my 4th show and second favorite.
1. I saw some cracked.com article talking about how the Game Industry's about to crash, and one of the points they made was about how, on Metacritic, the professional reviews for AAA games tend to be a lot higher than the user reviews. Their interpretation was that professional reviewers were corporate shills who give games good reviews so they can have their review featured on the box.My interpretation is that the people writing Metacritic user reviews are easily-offended dumbasses that can't form a coherent opinion about anything. If you actually read the user reviews I'm pretty sure I'm right.
Funny story, I once gave some game titled From the Abyss a pretty bad review. I think I compared it to watching paint dry and concluded the whole paint thing would be more entertaining. It was a half-page article. When I opened up the magazine I saw a big one page ad for it right next to the review. My editor was horrified. Not because of the bad score, but because the ad shouldn't have been placed next to the review. We lost that advertisor and that wouldn't have happened if the ad had been place elsewhere in the mag. The editor-in-chief assured me I did the right thing and it was a fuck up on their side.
I thought Dralion was kind of bad :T
Quote from: MeshGearFox on December 15, 2013, 03:34:24 AMI thought Dralion was kind of bad :TYeah I left that show a little underwhelmed too. I like the shows that have a story.
Well Varekai's story isn't strong. I guess I should say it had characters with distinct personalities that tied the show together. I agree that Dralion seemed to have random performances on stage with no strong ties throughout.

Name: Bob
Gender: male
Age: 40
I'm a bisexual male. Recently I've been seeing this black guy, 25 years old, with a very big 9" very thick cock. We've been suckin' and he's been fuckin me. But most recently he's been wanting me to get together with two or three of his friends and have a party. I mostly want to do it, but I'm a little scared. Would I be able to handle 2 or 3 guys? Would I be able to take all their cocks up my ass? I need some advice.
Bob, you are a little breathless, huh? I'm so delighted you stopped by with this tantalizing tidbit. So let's get this straight, so to speak. You've got this heavy hung black dude, 15 years your junior, rockin' your world with his thick 9". Oh sure, count your money in front of the poor, why don't cha? Say, all of us here at Dr Dick's Sex Advice are wondering; how in the world did you get this dazzling urban specimen to tap your honky ass in the first place?
But there's more…besides your amazing good fortune with this one fella, your young playmate wants to introduce you to a few of his big boned bruthas for some hot group action. Mmmm, how you do go on, sir! I suppose it's only natural to be a bit intimidated, what with all that weighty pipe that will be swinging around. All I can say is I hope you film the event for posterity, darling. Because if you don't no one, not even me, will ever believe you.
You want some advice? How could I possibly advise someone who can handle…and I quote "a very big 9" very thick cock." If that's truly the case, you don't need nothin' from me. Let's just hope your hole will be able to withstand the massive gang fuck. And that'll depend on one thing — you being as big of an insatiable bottom as you are a braggart. If you are, you'll have no trouble at all.
Good luck…you're gonna need it.

Dr- I have read up on some of the questions you have answered and realized why my penis is curved. Because I began to masturbate in sixth grade! (The older boys on the bus encouraged me too) Now I know that this may sound dumb. But is there any way to fix this? I haven't ever even had a blowjob, or hand job because I'm so timid about a girl seeing my penis. I'm also scared to call anywhere, and when the doctor asks me if I have any questions about my body I'm even to scared to say yes to that. Should I ask the doctor about it just too see if there is a way to fix my penis, or is there a natural way to fix it with a special kind of vitamin that I can take? Thanks a ton! -Ben
Hey Ben, why are you being such are a scaredy cat? I mean how bad a curve does your dick have that you would avoid a blowjob or even a hand job when offered? Is it really that misshapen? I mean, how many erect cocks have you seen in your short life span that you can say for sure that your unit is so fatally flawed? Can you be absolutely certain that the curve of your johnson isn't just a normal variation on an otherwise handsome and hearty tool?
Listen pup, even a precocious masturbator like you is unlikely to change the shape of his willie simply by jerking off. That's not to say that one's dick can't run into trouble from injury or abuse. For as hearty a plaything as it is, our cock, it is a relatively delicate instrument. When you get a woody, your cock is engorged with oxygen-rich blood, which is essential for the upkeep of the smooth muscle tissue. This kind of tissue makes up about 90% of your cock. So you can see how a healthy circulatory system is to a vibrant sex life.
If you dissected your woody and looked at a cross-section you'd see three distinct spongy tubular structures, each are made up of smooth muscle tissue. Two of these tubular structures — one on either side of your cock, both of which run the length of your cock — are called the corpora cavernosa. These marvelous structures become engorged with blood lifting and thickening your cock to erection. The corpus spongiosum, the third tubular structure is located just below the corpora cavernosa. This baby houses your urethra, through which urine and semen pass during urination and ejaculation, respectively. This may also become slightly engorged with blood, but less so than the corpora cavernosa.
An oxygen-deprived cock will build up a kind of plaque, which resembles scar tissue. This will cripple a dude's rod (Peyronie's disease) or rob him of his wood altogether. However, I don't think this is the case for you.
So before you start tryin to "heal" or "fix" yourself with some contraption or herbal supplement visit a doctor first. If you're too timid to make an appointment with your family physician, go to a free clinic, or neighborhood clinic near you. You're living in the big apple for crying out loud; you have all these great resources available to you.
Good luck

Pop quiz for discount retailers who suffer a high-profile data breach that impacts millions of customers, weakens sales, shaves a few points off of your stock price, and may cost your company hundreds of millions of dollars to clean up: What happens next?
For Target, that would be the departure of CIO Beth Jacob, who announced Wednesday -- in a letter to Gregg Steinhafel, Target's chairman, president, and CEO -- that she was resigning "effective immediately." The same day, Steinhafel said in a statement that Target planned to make a number of technology, information security, and compliance changes, and to hire an "interim CIO" to oversee that transition.
To be clear, Jacob was in charge of IT for a retailer that fell victim to a hack attack that resulted in 40 million credit and credit cards and personal information on 70 million customers being compromised. But was she unfairly forced out? And does an episode like this mean the end of a CIO's career?
Here are seven related points to consider:
1. Did Target make CIO a scapegoat?
Some people think Target's management team jettisoned Jacob, finding her a convenient scapegoat. "Target has been obviously impacted. People are questioning Target's security. And she was the fall guy," Walter Loeb, a New York-based independent retail consultant, told The Christian Science Monitor.
[For more on Target's shifting management team, read Target Seeks New CIO.]
But for information security industry veteran Ted Julian, who serves as chief marketing officer at incident response firm Co3 Systems, the end of Jacob's Target tenure wasn't a surprise. "Under these circumstances, it's pretty standard, if for no other reason than optically it just shows the company taking action. It allows them to get someone new with some new ideas and enthusiasm and excitement that can be shown to make aggressive changes," he said, speaking by phone.
Still, her post-breach departure was relatively rapid. "It is pretty typical for the CIO to take the fall, though typically not this quickly," Gartner analyst Avivah Litan said, speaking by phone. "The buck typically stops with the CIO, even though it should stop with the CEO."
On the other hand, according to recent studies, a CIO's job tenure lately lasts, on average, about six years. By that measure, Jacob's five years in the job rates as just about the norm.
2. Before the breach: Were warning signs ignored?
One frequent topic of conversation at last week's RSA conference in San Francisco involved a February 2014 Wall Street Journal report that Target staff had warned management that the retailer was at risk of having its POS systems compromised, at least two months prior to the breach.
But more than one RSA panel participant cautioned that it would be the rare information security team that wasn't sounding some types of alerts. The Journal's report also offered no signal-to-noise assessment of what other types of warnings that Target's CIO and senior management team may have received or acted upon.
"For every single breach I've been aware of, the alarms went off, but if you're getting one serious alarm buried in 10,000 or 100,000 alarms, it's hard to pick it out," Litan said. "There's so much noise, it's a lot like the patches on Windows or Internet Explorer -- here's another bug that was discovered, or certificate that was expired. You just get immunity."
Of course, some businesses seem complicit in their data breaches. Sony, for example, laid off most of its security staff in 2011 and was subsequently hacked more than a dozen times. But Target doesn't appear to have skimped on information security. "Here's what we do know: this was not an anemic security department that lacked staff or resources," Co3's Julian said. "That's not to say that maybe they shouldn't have more, but... this looks to be a well-funded, highly competent group, with extensive rapport across Target and the industry."
3. Will IT reboot better secure Target?
Target is now shopping for a new interim CIO and has hired consulting firm Promontory Financial Group to offer technology, staffing, and business process advice for the retailer's IT, information security, compliance, and risk-management reboot.
Instead of splitting information security responsibilities being between several people, Target will also look externally to hire its first-ever CISO as well as its first-ever chief compliance officer. The latter role was previously overseen by Ann Scovil, Target's VP of risk assurance and compliance, who has long planned to retire at the end of this month, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Asked about how the company planned to now handle risk management -- and whether it would designate a chief risk officer -- Target spokeswoman Molly Snyder said via email, "We haven't provided any additional details on that to date."
4. Target's vacant technology jobs: caveat emptor?
In 2008, with the Great Recession gaining force, Jon Stewart famously asked then-presidential candidate Barack Obama: "With the kind of issues that face the country now... is there a sense that you don't want this?"
Might the same cautionary note be sounded for anyoneMathew Schwartz served as the InformationWeek information security reporter from 2010 until mid-2014. View Full Bio

There's no word on whether Lovie Smith's flying to Phoenix this weekend, but the Bills are interviewing him somewhere.
According to WGR Radio host Howard Simon, the Bills have scheduled an interview this weekend with the former Bears head coach.
The Bills are also talking to Oregon's Chip Kelly, who is at the de facto NFL job fair site in advance of tonight's Fiesta Bowl.
Smith went 81-63 in nine years in Chicago, but had missed the playoffs five of the last six seasons. He had three losing seasons, two of them 7-9 campaigns. But has Tim Graham of the Buffalo News points out, the Bills haven't made it to 7-9 in any of their last eight seasons, so that doesn't sound so bad by comparison.

Nez Perce Trail: Part IIIPosted in Events on May 1, 2012
The war between the U.S. Army and the Nez Perce Native Americans became fully engaged beginning with the White Bird battle on June 17, 1877 (this is Part III of the series that began in the March issue of this magazine). The Nez Perce were made up of bands led by five different chiefs who refused to move onto the reservation with boundaries defined by the Army.
They won that first battle but they knew they were outnumbered and outgunned. The war could not end in their favor. Warriors in the band drew the attention of the soldiers by attacking them from every possible position. In the meantime, the rest of the band moved across the Camas Prairie as fast as 800 men, women, and children could travel while herding 2,000 animals.
The Army caught up with them again near Kamiah, Idaho. Another battle took place but casualties were low. When the fighting subsided, General Howard's men were on the west side of the Clearwater River, but the Nez Perce crossed to the east side. Once again, a raging river acted as a boundary between the two forces. The Nez Perce knew where the safe crossings were located and the Army did not. While the soldiers searched for a crossing, the Nez Perce headed east and entered the Lolo Trail.
Today, the Lolo Trail is a National Historic Landmark and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It includes the Lolo Trail corridor, the Nez Perce Trail, the Lewis and Clark Trail, and the Lolo Motorway. The Nez Perce called it the K'useyneisskit, which means "Trail to the Buffalo."
General Howard eventually crossed the river, but then waited for reinforcements. His numbers grew to 600 troops before he resumed his pursuit into the mountainous terrain of the Bitterroot Range. They found the Lolo Trail to be in horrible condition. Fallen trees lay across the road from both sides. To get the wagons through, the road had to be cleared. General Howard fell farther behind his prey.
Into the Valley
The first week of August, the Nez Perce crossed the Continental Divide and entered the Big Hole Valley. They thought the soldiers were far behind and no longer a threat. The five bands of Nez Perce led by five chiefs were exhausted from their flight. They were in friendly territory camped in a place where they had camped many times before.
They had an agreement with the people in that valley to live in peace. As they had done for years, they traded with the settlers and the chiefs kept the young braves from causing any trouble. The Nez Perce felt safe and saw no reason to post sentries.
The people in the valley did not trust the Nez Perce. When Colonel Gibbon arrived from a new fort in Montana, people from the valley joined his Army as volunteers. Gibbon was intent on attacking the Nez Perce without waiting for General Howard to catch up. Using a pass that now bears his name, Colonel Gibbon entered the valley known as Big Hole.
On August 7th and into the 8th, Gibbon's soldiers crossed the pass using cover of the night and descended on the camp in Big Hole. The night of the 8th, they formed a line hidden in heavy brush outside the camp. Before daylight on the morning of the 9th, an Indian walked away from the camp and discovered the soldiers hidden in the brush. Shots were fired. The battle began. Soldiers charged into the camp killing many of the Nez Perce still in their beds. No effort was made to spare anyone, including the women and children.
As Nez Perce warriors emerged from their tents, a counter attack was formed and the soldiers were forced back into the brush. Gibbon had underestimated the fighting skills of his prey. He had grabbed the tail of the proverbial tiger.
Nez Perce sharpshooters kept Gibbon's soldiers pinned down in the brush. Other braves gathered survivors in the camp, tended to the wounded, and began moving south. All through the 9th and into the 10th, Gibbon and his men were kept at bay while the Nez Perce escaped. They left behind everything they owned including their tents, winter clothing, and supplies. By nightfall of the 10th, all the Nez Perce were gone and the battle was over.
Follow the Trail
Now 2012, Lone Writer and Happy Jack followed the trails used by the Nez Perce and the soldiers 143 years earlier. They picked up the Lolo Trail east of Kamiah and followed it across the Bitterroot Mountains. There were no fallen trees to block their path, but the many sawed logs lying on both sides of the road were evidence such blockages had been cleared.
The Lolo Trail follows the highest ridges through the mountains and frequently offers views in all directions. It passes through a dense forest and never rises above tree line. Occasional historic markers have been placed along the way to point out camps that were used even before the days of Lewis and Clark.
The sides of the mountains are steep. Written accounts from the soldiers included complaints of sleeping in a near vertical position. At the time of the war, the road was more of a path than a road. When the Army came with their wagons and cannons, a lot of work had to be done causing long delays.
For Lone Writer and Happy Jack, however, cruising along in their Nissan Xterras was effortless. There was no need to engage four-wheel drive or the factory-equipped lockers. They occasionally shifted into low range for engine braking on the steep declines and the high clearance came in handy in certain areas. Overall, it was just a very scenic drive through the mountains.
The Lolo Trail ends near the Montana state line. From there, a paved road follows the route of the Nez Perce to Lolo, Montana. The Nez Perce can then be followed going south where the battle of Big Hole took place. Parts of that trail are paved and parts of it leave the highway. The section that crosses the Continental Divide at Gibbons Pass is a scenic drive through a dense forest. The Big Hole Battlefield is a National Historic Place with a visitors center. A footpath meanders through the battlefield with Tepee poles marking the location of the Nez Perce camp.
Join us next month as we conclude the Nez Perce Trail through Yellowstone National Park and across Montana to the Big Bear Battlefield.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is facing more challenges than usual, but that won't keep the world's largest retailer by sales from putting on its usual star-studded extravaganza for employees and shareholders.
Indeed, most of the 14,000 who will gather in the Bud Walton Arena at the University of Arkansas for the company's /quotes/zigman/245476/delayed /quotes/nls/wmt WMT annual meeting on Friday are Wal-Mart employees, flown in on the company's dime from each of the 27 countries where the retailer operates. Some wave flags and cheer as they are greeted at Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport in Bentonville, Wal-Mart's hometown. They'll be put up in the university's dorms – two to a room, please – and are being feted with events from concerts to a baseball game to a tour of the Walmart museum. Suppliers will be on hand, handing out freebies to employees.
Come Friday, several celebrities will grace the meeting's stage. Wal-Mart is keeping mum on who the host and performers will be, but past selections have included actors and musicians such as Tom Cruise, Alicia Keys, Taylor Swift and Will Smith. Last year, the actor Hugh Jackman served as emcee and sang the song "Who am I?" from his Oscar-nominated performance in the movie version of "Les Miserables."
One who is excited about all the hoopla is Arnella Cainglit, a Hawaiian who has worked for Wal-Mart for 17 years. She handles invoices at the store in Mililani, in the center of Oahu island, and says she was "stunned" to be chosen for the trip by her local managers.
"I heard so much about shareholders week," she said of what is her second trip to the U.S. mainland and first to Arkansas. "I heard you meet so many people and the excitement and the hype around it. It's a very positive place to be."
She is bringing "Aloha goodie bags" filled with items such as macadamia nuts and postcards to share with other Wal-Mart employees, and already began handing some out when she met Wal-Mart employees from Mexico at the Dallas airport on Monday.
Beyond the hoopla, though, are some nagging questions from shareholders. The company has reported five straight quarters of declining same-store sales at its Walmart U.S. outlets. Sam's Club sales have dropped for two straight quarters. Overseas, the company has been hurt by a stronger dollar that has dented translated overseas sales as well as bribery allegations and stumbles in markets like Brazil and China.
"This is a continuing question for Wal-Mart: 'Is what you are doing with capital incremental with return or not?" said analyst Sarah Henry at John Hancock Asset Management, whose funds that follow its Dividend Performers strategy have sold all their Wal-Mart shares. "Overwhelmingly it's the U.S. store that's not working. Their growth rate (for groceries and general merchandise) has been below their expectations and some peers. International is not homogeneous and (is) more cumbersome to manage. What's going to be key going forward is how effectively they are using their cash flow in different ways."
While Wal-Mart is expanding its better-performing, smaller-format stores like Neighborhood Market and investing in e-commerce to better compete against Amazon.com Inc. /quotes/zigman/63011/delayed /quotes/nls/amzn AMZN , investors question how quickly those businesses can make a meaningful contribution to the bottom line.
"This is a dangerous time for Walmart," said Gilford Securities analyst Bernard Sosnick. Comparable sales at rival Kroger /quotes/zigman/231658/delayed /quotes/nls/kr KR , for example, have risen for 41 straight quarters. Wal-Mart is "no longer in sole possession of advantages that made it great," he said.
Underscoring that, Kroger shares have surged 41% over the past year through Monday, well ahead of the 2.6% gain for Wal-Mart.
But some investors praise the retailer's approach to investors.
"Wal-Mart has managed capital in a very shareholder-friendly way," said Burns McKinney, a Dallas-based portfolio manager of AllianzGI Dividend Value strategy, which owns about $380 million Wal-Mart shares, and self-described Wal-Mart shopper. "They've been a chronic raiser of dividend. We are believers in companies that give a substantial dividend."
Meanwhile, Sosnick, the Gilford Securities analyst, downgraded his view on Wal-Mart to neutral this year and said he's skipping the annual meeting hoopla after attending many such gatherings since the early 1980s, a more modest period when founder Sam Walton hosted canoe trips and parties at his house. He plans instead to head to Bentonville in the fall, when Wal-Mart hosts a meeting for analysts.
The shareholder meeting "is the best show on earth for a couple of hours," Sosnick said. "Where can you see so many entertainers come in and out? (But) it's enough for me."

Court ReportsAuto thief wrecks stolen car
November 16, 2012
Manuel Christopher Lopez, 31, was charged on Friday, Nov. 9 after he was discovered in a parked stolen car.
A Utah State Parks and Recreation officer observed the car while on patrol at a Rockport campground. The car did not have proof of paid camping fees, and when the officer approached the vehicle to inquire about the fees, Lopez began to drive away.
When attempts to stop the vehicle were unsuccessful, the officer turned on his lights and sirens. Lopez drove faster and attempted to evade the officer.
Lopez then lost control of the car and drove off the roadway. He left the car and attempted to escape on foot. After a short foot pursuit, the officer apprehended Lopez and took him into custody.
Lopez gave the officer a false name, Peter Paul Lopez, and behaved oddly, appearing to require medical assistance. The officer transported Lopez to Salt Lake City for medical clearance before transporting him back to Summit County.
During the transport, Lopez jumped out of the vehicle and again ran from the officer. He was once again apprehended and transported to the Summit County Jail for formal booking.

Lopez faces charges of second-degree felony theft by deception, third-degree felony failure to stop or respond to police command, third-degree felony escape from official custody, class A misdemeanor failure to stop at command of law and class C misdemeanor giving false personal identity to a peace officer.
Man with stolen identity flees officers
Margaro Neza Gonzales, 29, Park City, was charged on Friday, Nov. 9 after allegedly using a stolen Social Security number.
From Jan. 1 to Oct. 15, Gonzales used the stolen identity to work in a Park City restaurant kitchen.
Deputies visited the restaurant and spoke with the managers to confirm Gonzales was working there. When Gonzales learned law enforcement were asking about him, he fled the restaurant.
During his time working for the restaurant, Gonzales earned more than $5,000.
Gonzales faces charges of second-degree felony identity fraud, four counts of third-degree felony forgery and two counts of third-degree felony possession of a forged writing or device for writing.

Blast Vegas (Syfy 7 p.m.) Las Vegas is destroyed by a giant haboob (a word everybody loves to say). Frankie Muniz ("Malcolm in the Middle") and Barry Bostwick (The Rocky Horror Picture Show) are there to witness it. Eh, it's no Sharknado, but we'll take it. Haboob.
Teen Beach Movie (Disney 6 p.m.) Two teen surfers find themselves magically transported into a 1960s movie musical. The director/
"Broadway Bash" (Ovation 8 p.m.) A panel of theater vets, fans, Broadway hopefuls and special guests take a behind-the-scenes look at each episode, plotline, character, song and performance of the musical drama "Smash." Yeah, it was mostly crummy and NBC canceled it, but Ovation is showing reruns. And apparently, analyzing the living crap out of them.
"Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove" (Hallmark 6 p.m.) Hallmark's first original prime-time series is naturally based on a series of romance novels and stars Andie MacDowell as a judge in a "small lakeside town full of romance and drama." I imagine it also emits the smell of lilac candles.
"ADHD" (KASA-2 8:30 p.m.) FOX finally gives us a sneak peek at two of the shows in its late-night Animation Domination High Def programming block (premiering on Saturday, July 27). Tonight we get a look at "Axe Cop" (based on the awesome comic by Ethan Nicolle and his 5-year-old brother) and "High School USA!" (a twisted take on Archie Comics).
"Tattoo Rescue" (Spike 8 p.m.) Like all those bar and restaurant renovation shows, this new series features "experts" showing tattoo shop owners how to make over their failing businesses. Hopefully, with a little work, these dark, dingy, drunken biker-filled places can attract a much higher class of drunken biker.
Cat. 8 (Reelz 6 p.m.) Reelz Channel seems determined lately to steal Syfy's cheesy disaster movie crown. But unless you've got some sharks inside those apocalyptic solar flares, my friends, you're a day late and a dollar short.
"Supermarket Superstar" (Lifetime 8 p.m.) Think "Shark Tank," but only for food products.
"Who Do You Think You Are?" (TLC 7 p.m.) NBC's famous person genealogy show makes the jump to TLC after three seasons. Kelly Clarkson is the first "at bat" for TLC.
"The Vineyard" (ABC Family 8 p.m.) The Jersey Shore has a reality show. Some trailer park in Myrtle Beach has a reality show. Why doesn't Martha's Vineyard? ABC Family rectifies the oversight.
"Spell-Mageddon" (ABC Family 7 p.m.) ABC Family tries to make spelling bees vaguely interesting by having people run though wacky obstacle courses while shouting out letters of the alphabet.
"Joe Rogan Questions Everything" (Syfy 8 p.m.) Oh, thank god! Syfy is finally going to find Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster and positive proof of space aliens now that comedian/UFC commentator Joe Rogan is on the case.

The combination of low natural gas prices and the fallout from recent accidents turned many utilities off from building new nuclear power plants. But analysts say investors may still want more exposure to nuclear energy.
Despite the lack of new nuclear facilities, existing plants continue to produce cheap, clean power. Right now, low natural gas prices are diminishing profit margins for many utilities, says Travis Miller, the director of utilities research at Morningstar. But nuclear power is still far cheaper to produce — and gas prices are only likely to go up, he says. "We think gas prices have to rise from here to rationalize the market." And as soon as those prices rise, nuclear power producers can boost prices, and profit margins.
The utility best-positioned to benefit from that trend would be Exelon (EXC), the largest operator of nuclear power plants in the U.S., Miller says. "As the cost for other sources of power, specifically coal and natural gas, rise, Exelon's earnings should rise," he says. Plus, Exelon's nuclear plants aren't affected by new environmental regulations that may force some coal plants to close, he says. Morningstar analysts also see NRG Energy (NRG) as a good value now. Two-thirds of this company's power generation comes from coal and nuclear plants. Its coal plants are already more efficient than competitors', Miller says. "We think its entire fleet, including nuclear and its very low-cost and efficient coal and gas plants, all can benefit in an environment where power demand and gas prices rise," he says.
Exelon's stock price fell this year in part because a district court put a stay on the new EPA emissions rule that would close some coal plants, says Justin McCann, a senior industry analyst at S&P Capital IQ. But the market likely overreacted, McCann says. "We expect the courts to ultimately uphold the rule or at least the bulk of the rule," he says. Even if the shares take a while to recover, the drop in the stock's price means its yield is now 5.4%, higher than the industry average, McCann adds.
Broader exposure to nuclear power production probably doesn't make sense for individual investors right now, however, says Jack Reutemann, the founder and CEO of Research Financial Services. "I would not drill down and specifically invest in anything that is just nuclear," he says. Supplies of natural gas are so abundant and the fuel is so cheap that a pure-nuclear play doesn't make sense, he says. Neither does a natural gas price play like United States Natural Gas (UNG), while prices remain so low, he says. However, a broader utilities ETF like the Utilities Select SPDR (XLU), up about 11.6% in the past year, may offer some value to some individual investors, Reutemann says.
