Under the revised agreement, Pennsylvania's contribution will be $3.8 million a year to maintain the service on the Amtrak Pennsylvanian line, featuring one train a day in each direction between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. The through service continues to and from Philadelphia and New York City.
"I applaud Amtrak for its willingness to work with my administration on a funding plan that makes sense for Pennsylvania in these difficult economic times and maintains this passenger rail service that provides important connections for many towns in western Pennsylvania," Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett said.
The service is subject to a new funding agreement that requires Amtrak to recover more costs than it did previously. Initial funding estimates for the Pennsylvanian totaled $6.5 million a year.
"Amtrak is pleased to have reached an agreement with our partners in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania to preserve the Pennsylvanian," said Joe Boardman, president of Amtrak.

The annual Walker L. Cisler Lecture provided an opportunity for the College of Arts and Sciences to provide tours of three new labs.
Leigh Hochberg, an associate professor of engineering at Brown University, was this year's Cisler lecturer. He provided fascinating insights into the developing field of brain-machine interfaces. Hochberg and his fellow researchers are developing brain-machine interfaces that allow paralyzed people to accomplish tasks such as sending email, playing computer games, and drinking coffee.
People attending the reception prior to the lecture had the opportunity to see the new computer science lab in S126 next to the Marburger auditorium. Assistant Professors Lior Shamir and Yin Wang from the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science are recipients of an NSF grant that has provided a powerful 320-core Opteron cluster, a 24TB storage device, workstations, and network switches for interdisciplinary computer science research and education.
This lab is further enhanced with three top-of-the-market scientific GPU chips from NVIDIA, a leader in computing technology. LTU has also been selected as one of NVIDIA's CUDA Teaching Centers.
A new multisensory lab in S211A will be used for research related to the psychology of sound and its effects on a variety of subjects. This lab was conceived by new psychology faculty member, Assistant Professor Franco Delogu, who has come to LTU from the Sapienza University of Rome.
The Confocal Microscopy Lab in S223A brings to campus a significant advance in optical microscopy. The technique enables visualization deep within both living and fixed cells and tissues and provides the ability to collect sharply defined optical sections from which three-dimensional renderings can be created.
The new equipment was demonstrated by Richard Heil-Chapdelaine, a representative of Olympus.
Several students were also on hand to explain their research projects.


text: Although female celebrities with big butts are popular, such as Beyonce and J-LO, you don't see many male celebrities out there with big, round bubble butts. I'd like to start a discussion here regarding which celebrities have butts like that since they seem to be so rare. If you have pictures to back up your claim that a certain celeb has a big bubble butt, please post! Include athletes if you wish.

Anyway, I'm planning on a day of shopping with a friend tomorrow and I am SO ready to get out of this house!
So back to the makeup... I wanted to share an updated foundation routine tutorial with you all sharing my new fav application method and products that give me a natural glowy look. Which is my favorite look for foundation.
The tricky part? I have oily skin. So I've always kind of steered away from that look or products that promise it. Just because sometimes, glowy equals shiny... and shiny is NEVER good.
So using this method with these products gives amazing results and awesome staying power. I'm completely loving it and I hope you all do too!
Oh, and the best part? The main products that give the glowy effect (primer and foundation) are CHEAP and available at the drugstore. Can't beat that.
What I Used:
Origins Vitazing Moisturizer
Loreal Lumi Primer
Loreal True Match Lumi Foundation (I'm shade N1-2)
Sigma F84 brush
MAC Studio Finish concealer
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Undereye Circle Eraser (shade fair)
Sigma F86 brush
Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder #1
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural (medium)
Nars Laguna Bronzer
Too Faced Candlelight
MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick in Supreme Style

Scalaffinity is a library providing core functionality for any social networking Web site based on ratings and recommendations. In other words, it is a generic collective intelligence library. Examples of such sites are Anobii, Rate Your Music, and Filmaffinity. It is designed to act as an out-of-the-box model for such Web applications. Nevertheless, Scalaffinity is fully customizable, extensible, and scalable. It incorporates lessons learned while reading "Collective Intelligence in Action" by Satnam Alag.
i-net Doqua is an Eclipse plug-in that helps documentation writers and developers to keep track of inconsistencies between style guides and the actual documentation. The system integrates into the Eclipse IDE and introduces a new perspective and several views. Since i-net Doqua uses standard JUnit testcases to check the documentation, you can trigger checks using Hudson or similar Ant based systems.
jSmaTeP assists in the use of Java for processing import and export data by configuring a data structure rather than by programming it. The structure of the import data is specified in an XML file. jSmaTeP then generates a value object representing exactly one row or record in the import file based on a given XML data configuration. This means that if the import or export format changes, only the XML data configuration needs to be changed to match it.
Test::Class provides a simple way of creating classes and objects to test your Perl code in an xUnit style. Built using Test::Builder, it was designed to work with other Test::Builder-based modules. You can easily package your tests as classes/modules rather than *.t scripts. This simplifies reuse, documentation, and distribution, encourages refactoring, and allows tests to be extended by inheritance.
Thread Weaver is a framework for writing multithreaded unit tests for Java classes. It lets you create breakpoints inside your code and to stop individual threads when they reach a breakpoint. This allows you to produce controlled repeatable tests that can help to verify thread safety and detect race conditions.
Mistletoe is a JUnit extension intended for integration testing. In technical terms, it is a JUnit test suite runner presenting the test results via HTTP as a Web page. Mistletoe, when incorporated within an application, will help diagnose integration issues. For example, an application that runs perfectly in the developer's environment may not run properly in the production environment due to configuration errors and connectivity issues. Instead of perusing log files, or looking at stack traces, mistletoe will run a user-specified series of tests and present the results in the form of a Web page served by the application itself. Since the tests are run within the context of the deployed application, given an appropriate test suite, you can home in on integration problems quickly and conveniently.
MASH is a modular, automated script harness. It allows users to implement simple harnesses that perform work external to a system. The framework will invoke that harness as outlined by an XML script. For example, when using the framework to test a system you could create a script that cleans and loads a database, FTPs some data, submits a login form, and verifies HTTP information. Harnesses can easily be built to do almost anything (many harnesses are provided), not just Web page verification. While harnesses are written in Java, the scripts may be run against any type of system as harnesses are intended to act as clients.

I have found some great websites that feature screen caps of some of my favorite t.v. talk and news shows that feature the women but the cool thing is that many of these sites capture the guys also.
some of my favorites that I have an awesome collection of are: Bill Hemmer, Bill Weir, Steve Doocy (this guys bulge is HOT), Brian Kilmeade, Dan Abrams, Chris Cuamo, Trace Gallagher, Dave Briggs, Clayton Morris, Jay Crawford (of ESPN's First Take), Collin McShane, Chris Wragge, Lonnie Quinn, Eric Bolling and a few others. I'll be posting these that I have found on an ongoing basis.
Please, do share yours...they don't need to be of tv news shows just screen caps of hot guys that are perhaps in a suite somewhat showing their package.
Here's a sampling of what I'll be posting....enjoy!

"We are the distributor of the Procter & Gamble collection," Yates explained. "AS THE WORLD TURNS, GUIDING LIGHT, SEARCH FOR TOMORROW, ANOTHER WORLD, THE EDGE OF NIGHT and TEXAS. We know the next project we want to launch is the GUIDING LIGHT version of what we just did with AS THE WORLD TURNS. You can break the news that the next planned release is 20 classic episodes of GUIDING LIGHT."
Exactly how far back can SoapClassics go? For some serials, episodes only back to the seventies sadly, thanks to the WIPING process we called out in our 25 Biggest Blunders list.
"We originally thought we only had 1986 on GUIDING LIGHT and that was actually misquoted in the MIPCOM story but we do go back to September 1979 for both shows," Yates clarified. "Obviously TEXAS we have the whole thing. ANOTHER WORLD and SEARCH FOR TOMORROW haven't been inventoried yet, because we've been so focused on this so I don't know exactly what we have for those shows."
Are you excited that classic GUIDING LIGHT episodes will also be released on DVD at some point in the future? With September 1979 as your starting point, what episodes stand out the most for you?

Mike Gundy Meltdown

Mundy's got my vote for Coach of the Year. That was awesome! I love nothing better than seeing these dumbass, know-it-all reporters get a good ass chewing. Mundy's exactly right: these are fucking kids, not pro athletes she's mocking. What a ho-bag. Actually, the whole article wasn't drivel, just the part where she's mocking a kid 'cause his mom's feeding him chicken.

I'm with you, Tabb, I thought it was awesome. Did you click on the article to see the face shot of the writer? Gundy nailed it... definitely, no man would have given her a child... yikes!

That was terrific, as a dad with a kid in high school sports, a kid that isn't the fastest or strongest but tries his ass off I understood everything he said and felt. I hope that reporter looses her press privileges!

That was awesome! I have said it a couple of times this season, that these are just kids, playing ball. That is one reason I love college football, it is more passionate than pro ball, because it is kids like Mallet and Hart just having fun, exactly what it should be. (Another reason I cringe when you all mock Jimmy Clausen)

I don't have any problem with a kid playing bad. But, when said kid announces his commitment at the College FB HOF, and proudly displays his 3 rings, and is generally douche-like, then I have a problem. He deserves to be mocked, for his attitude alone.

i don't know. i guess having read the linked article first, and THEN watched the presser, i thought he was a bit over the top. i agree it's important to stand up for a player, but the article didn't exactly strike me as "nuclear".
carlson basically says that the kid came in highly touted, has had maturity problems, and has lost his starting job because of that. she uses the "mom feeding him" schtick as a metaphor for how the kid needs to grow up (ah, feed himself?) and start working harder if he wants to play again.
not flattering, but hardly a massive hatchet job. certainly nothing on the level of vicious or mean spirited that you find in a typical drew sharp ass clown column.

SiC, another fine post. I was wondering if I was the only one with the same take...
Listen, as parents we all want the best for our kids. And it rips at our hearts when things don't go their way. But that is NOT how life works. The real world can be a big, bad, ugly place. A the world is a place where there's competition. And with competition there are winners and losers.
Now I don't know anyone else but I would much rather have my kids feel some disappointment every now and again. I'd rather have my kids face some leadership challenges. And I think it's perfectly acceptable if my kids get stuck in a character building situation and I automatically don't come running to their defense -- so if some idiot reporter who tries to makes fun of them for eating chicken, my kids know to ignore it, know to look the other way, and know to just keep working harder.
What are folks singing up to do their kid's whole life... constantly come running to their defense? When their kid doesn't get promoted at work, are they gonna call the boss? When their kid doesn't get an 'A' in freshman lit, are they gonna call the the prof? (Well, except if the kid couldn't get into college and goes to tOSU instead, then I bet the prof's couch will get set on fire.) When their kid earns an athletic scholarship but doesn't start are they gonna call the AD?
I also coach ODP soccer. Every day I see tons of kids who haven't a clue. Mom and Dad demand that everyone gets a trophy -- just showing up and participating these days is cause for taking home some hardware. Mom and Dad demand that everyone plays... yet every season a quarter of the team misses most of the practices. In development leagues I still had to play them but in travel leagues I won't. What kind of message do folks think this sends to children -- rewards for no work??? And if sports is a metaphor for life, how successful are my kids gonna be if I baby them all the time -- not very I'll tell ya. And how fair do folks think it is to the other kids who may actually bust their ass if they lose playing time because someone's parents complained?
Why am I getting teenage kids, and I'm their first exposure in their life to concepts like teamwork, accountability, dedication, and there are consequences for their decisions? I'll tell you why, it's because of parents like EXACTLY like Reid's mom who went to Gundy because some reporter dared to suggest her very talented son wasn't living up to his potential. Gimme a freaking break.
Bo's new book is a great sanity check. Folks should take a look at it.

I guess I didn't see the horror of the article either. For the record, the article wasn't about what he was doing on the field, it was about his attitude. I don't know how accurate or ethical her sources were (that's another issue, entirely), but calling the kid on his attitude isn't the same as banging on a kid for dropping passes or missing tackles. "Kids" make mistakes, but it's not too much to ask of a scholarship athelete to be hard-working, competitive and a good teammate. If Reid is all those things and the reporter is just talking out of her...um, ear...then I'd say, by all means, have at her.
It doesn't really surprise me, though, that the Mom who was feeding the guy his lunch would also go running to the coach over the article. I have kids of my own and work with kids on a daily basis. You can only protect them so far. Eventually, they have to stand on their own. Trust me, Mom's not doing that kid any favors. Reporters can be needlessly snide and cruel, but that's the lfe of a quarterback, right? Ask Chad Henne.

Excellent take on the culture. Spot on, yada, yada, yada,
I also have first hand experiences with elitist, over-indulgent parents raising whiney brats. However, the dig at tOSU was over the top. It made you sound elitist…the very type of people you are castigating.
While growing up in the southwest and encountering very rude people in public, my mother would sigh and say, "They're from New Jersey or Michigan. What else can you expect?" Sure enough, their license plate or other identifier revealed home was either state. Her prognosticating proved true through the years to the present. And before you and others call out the dogs, many of our kin hail from Michigan and yes, they fit the mold. Consequently, I always laugh when I read about how superior the Michigan folks see themselves compared to their southern, single-toothed, illiterate, couch-burning neighbors.
You all might want to check your water supply...or a mirror.

whetstonebuck... sorry but I'm not buying your take one bit!
Just as you think my comment about couch burning is tired, so do I think the typical, including yours, buckstache rants about elitism is as equally tired.
Some explained this to you last week.
Everyone can come up with anecdotal evidence in here about how what state has the rudest people.
But the overwhelming majority of such anecdotes is that buckstache nation has some issues. Just don't ask Michigan fan... ask SEC fan, ask Big 12 fan, as Penn State fan, see USA Today.
I also find it interesting that Holbrook denied there was a problem when she was there but has no problem throwing tOSU under the bus now. What, are you going to call her elitist too?
Just because you read it in a Michigan board doesn't make the national perception any less true. And I believe the job of forum policeman is already taken.
- September 24, 2007 3:45 PM
- whetstonebuck said...
Well, I thought that might spice up a slow Monday. Maybe I'll back off on the habanero.
There's nothing to buy. I'm not selling anything. Your money's safe.
Of course my comments were anecdotal. I just thought it was humorous. I love the belief that everyone is an elitist—but our gang. You know, everyone's congressman is corrupt, but ours, etc.
As far as asking other fans around the country about their take, I don't find that necessary. All anecdotal evidence being equal...
Again, as a citizen of the Great Southwest, I enjoy the geographic, culture and academic wars waged by college football fans across the nation. It is what it is. It's a lot of fun. Don't get all hot and bothered.
I think the jab about "forum policeman" was a bit unnecessary. I'm just a guest here. I hang around because I like the discussion, the people and I respect Michigan football because of the rivalry.

That was great. I've seen some of the major meltdowns before and those coaches looked bewildered and nuts. Coach Gundy actually gained my full respect. This is something that every coach should aspire to. Tabb, I agree that he is 100% right. People forget that these athletes are just kids, and I can't say that I'm always so innocent.
Ironically, I was reminded of this in December when I heard Kirk Herbstreit respond to accusations of him calling Steve Breaston "worthless" by saying, "Am I really going to call some kid worthless?"
I would be lucky if I could one day be a parent who stands up for his child with the same passion as Coach Gundy. This is coaching at its finest. God, that's why he was so right about bringing up parenting.
ON THE OTHER HAND, however, I do also agree that some parents and some kids do overreact to criticism, so I have to read the article first. In any case, I do respect Coach Gundy for sticking up for his player like that. Charlie Weis, take note.

Alright, read it. And you know what? I didn't like it. She's calling out the kid in public as a baby. So what if he has some maturity problems? That's even more reason not to attack him in public! I don't blame Coach Gundy for getting upset.
- September 24, 2007 4:32 PM
- surrounded in columbus said...
Upset? There's upset, & there's this.
To me, it's a matter of degree. It's one thing to say that bringing the kid's relationship w/ his mother into the story was making it too personal- that might even be right. And it would certainly be admirable for a coach to step up & say- hey, you've crossed a line.
But to blow up like that? I mean absolutely melt down? Nothing noble in losing your cool like that.
Especially over this article. This is the same coach that just benched the kid. Looking @ the paper's website, this is not the forst article questioning this kid's leadership or maturity. And aside from the reference to his mom feeding him, the article wasn't inflammatory. It wasn't flattering but it was no different than a 100 others you could read anyday in any paper. Go read some Pa news & see the critiques being laid on Morelli & their fumbling tail back. This column was nothing compared to some.
Finally, can we admit that some 20 year old being spoon fed by his mom is a little wierd? When was the last time anyone posting or reading had a parent hand feed them? Unless he's filming a chunky soup ad like mcnabb, 20 is a little old, no matter how close they are.

I have heard stuff about Clausen, like he has had a trainer since he was 7......his attitude and actions can be traced directly back to his parents no doubt. Now though it is a coachs job to show these kids how to behave. Just like Mallett with his touchdown run and flipping the ball, when he came off the field, coach Carr had his ear and it wasn't to say congrats, it was to say that behavior won't be tolerated.(that is MY assumption) He handled it very well at the press conference he made a mistake and learned from it. Plain and simple. Kids do need to know that there are consequenses to their actions, but in particular, kids who are in the spotlight, need a little bit of protection, in my humble opinion.

A 20yr old man letting his Mom feed him in front of the team bus? That is practically begging to made of fun of. My 9yr old won't let his Mom even wipe his mouth of in public cause he's not a baby anymore. Mundy needs to get a grip. Is he protecting the kid or is he hiding behind the article so he doesn't have to explain the QB switch?

Awesome. I want to suit up for him tomorrow.
It may not be the worst hackjob in today's world of shock journalism (what a surprise that dodd defended her today), but this line is completely classless:
"Or does he want to be coddled, babied, perhaps even fed chicken?"

What you guys fail to realize is that the article is an opinion piece. From what I've read the article appeared in an opinion section, not in a more traditional "fact" based section. Reid is 21, hardly an 18 year old newbie freshman. The author is stating rumors, which she mentions several times as being such. So as a reader you either believe the rumors or you don't. Don't kill the messenger. This little baby doesn't need to be coddled all the way up into his 30s. Not by his coach and not by his mother. If anything he should be learning how to be a man. After all, he allegedly has conduct/behavior issues likening him to being a big baby. This behavior shouldn't be encouraged or reinforced. It should be changed. And let's not forget the fact that he was benched. That's a coach's decision.
I'm only a couple years older than this "kid" and I can tell you right now, aside from some serious illness/injury, there is no way in hell I'd let my mom feed me no matter how bad I felt and especially not in public. No one I know would either. That's just asking for it. Maybe that's hard for a mother to understand because "they'll always be you're little boy" but to the rest of us it's just plain Norman Bates creepy. I'm glad I have a dad who taught me some stereotypical masculinity and a mom who didn't smother me growing up.
As for Gundy, even if I thought the article was offensive, I still would think his reaction was over the top. It seems like he was playing on parents' heartstrings to try to muster up support. Troy who? There was a classier way to handle the whole situation in my opinion.
Here's a quote from Mike Huguenin that sums up what I think: "Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy sure lost it Saturday. In the aftermath of his team's dramatic 49-45 victory over Texas Tech – yes, in the aftermath of a win – he berated Oklahoma City Daily Oklahoman columnist Jenni Carlson for a piece she did on former Cowboys starting QB Bobby Reid. (The video clip of Gundy's "talk" is available on YouTube.) Instead of talking about his team's gut-check victory or taking questions, he went on a harangue lasting almost three-and-a-half minutes. At the end of his tirade, he asked, "Who's the kid here? Who's the kid here?" Uh, it's you, Mike. Maybe you can use some of the money donated to the athletic department by Boone Pickens and get some therapy."

sooooo, a zillion thoughts from me on this one.
1) helicopter parent shows coach the article--what's that about?
2) Coach goes OFF after a big win? Hmm, me thinks the lady doth protest too much.
3) what if the author of the article were male?????
4) how many times do sports writers fill their weekly columns with 'personal interest' stories about the athletes? Has anyone ever gone after Drew Sharp? Jim Carty? Mark May? WTF.
Sorry Coach, big time athletics means big time attention. And your QB is 21 TWENTY-ONE.
Compare/Contrast this yahoo to Lloyd. or Charlie. or Joe Pa.
to quote another coaching rant:

T9: In my former life as a sportswriter, I got blasted by two coaches who were more preoccupied with getting their teams behind them than with the football business at hand. As to your point #2, you couldn't be more correct.
I don't agree with the approach this particular writer took, even in an opinion piece. But there is a LOT of salvage work for Gundy to do right now with this team's psyche, and he's liable to do anything to keep T. Boone Pickens strokin' those checks.

3) what if the author of the article were male?????
T9... for me personally, I could give two shits about the gender of a sports columnist.
That doesn't mean to say that I'm naive enough to think that to some it does matter.
We used to have a sports columnist out here named Ralph Routon. Judging from his appearance in his photo that appeared by the dateline, he looked like 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag; I'd wager he hadn't done an athletic thing in his life.
So here he is a few years ago writing about how the CC hockey team sucks, the school should drop the sport all together, yada yada yada. The next year, CC won the national championship.
The moral of this story... for a lot of people, the credibility gab comes not from one's race or gender but from being knowledgeable about the subject. I have a hard time reading hack columnists who obviously haven't earned anything or played an organized sport in their life.
Of course, there are some folks who try to make gender and race issues out of everything and they are successful at it.
- September 24, 2007 9:48 PM
- TitleIX said...
so what I hear you saying then is that someone's credibility is decreased if they haven't gone thru something themselves, right?
so if you haven't played a sport you can't comment on it or have relevant insights? Guess I need to shut my piehole about football then...
(hold your applause gentlemen)
It was interesting to me to see the immediate responses to the video about no one wanting to have children with the reporter and other such relevant comments about her gender.
And, I have to wonder if the coach would have gone off against a tall male reporter with such vehemence. Or even mention his status (or lack thereof) as a parent.

I was amazed when I saw so much support by the (especially early) posters here. This is fruitcake behavior--if for no other reason than the degree and duration of his rant. Gundy could have let his displeasure and opinion be known in a more adult, controlled manner. It would have taken on more weight as a result...
- September 25, 2007 8:09 AM
- Matt said...
Look, I know it was wrong and over the top, but I just found it amazing for a coach to be defending his player like that.
I think that Bobby Reid might have some maturity issues, so he's not the kind of guy you go after. Do you get what I'm saying? Let's say he has the emotional maturity of a 10-year-old. So leave the kid alone.
- September 25, 2007 9:45 AM
- MGoBlue93 said...
T9... I think you're taking my analogy a bit to the extreme. By way of comparison I enjoy folks like Jeremy Schapp and Erin Andrews. I'm pretty sure netiher one of them ever played football either! But they are entertaining, well spoken, prepared for their spots, etc. I also don't see them making exucses and taking part in Drew Sharp/Woody Paige/Jenni Carlson ass-baggery.
If you someone wants to be a tabloid journalist fine, but I used someone like Ralph Routon, who used to set himself up for attacks as if on purpose, and had never played the sport he is being controversial about, well... I just don't find those types all that credible.
And, I have to wonder if the coach would have gone off against a tall male reporter with such vehemence. Or even mention his status (or lack thereof) as a parent.
Only Gundy knows for sure and I bet he wouldn't publicly tell the truth.
Gundy siezed the opprotunity to deflect criticism. He's taken a lot of heat for not being emotional or caring -- espcially after OSU's loss to Troy. He was able to defelect the heat and blame by using Jenni Carlson in a wag the dog type move. His grandstanding is also working for recruiting as 90% of the parents in the blogosphere is saying, "I want my kid to play for that coach".

Wells Fargo is conducting itself like Enron did
Key Excerpts from Article on Website of San Francisco Chronicle (San Francisco's leading newspaper)
Wells Fargo is conducting itself like Enron did
San Francisco Chronicle (San Francisco's leading newspaper), December 15, 2016
Posted: 2016-12-19 15:32:11
San Francisco's Wells Fargo set up an incentivized system of rewards and punishments for its staff at every level that led to the creation of phony accounts and illicit fees being charged to millions of customers. Yet Wells Fargo ... refused to appear before my state Senate committee last month and has sidestepped federal regulators and inquiries. The last company to conduct itself in such a way before a California legislative committee was Enron. These criminal activities affected up to 2 million accounts - nearly 900,000 in California alone. The financial cost to consumers was in the millions of dollars, and the loss in trust is untold. Wells Fargo knew it had a problem - firing more than 1,000 employees a year for five years is testament to that. Yet, it took no effective steps to stop the fraud. These weren't just low-level employees. After my staff pressed them, Wells now says that of the 5,300 staff fired for unethical sales practices, 480 were bank branch managers or higher. An untold number of managers continue to work at the bank despite the fact that they engaged in fraudulent behavior. Wells Fargo has begun to make amends by entering into a settlement agreement with local and federal regulators, paying $185 million in fines. It also has retained an outside accounting firm to audit accounts to identify and fully reimburse every customer for any fees associated with an unauthorized account. Wells Fargo must come clean on how pervasive this scheme was.
Note: The above was written by Steve Glazer, chairman of the California Senate Banking and Financial Institutions Committee. Read more about the massive fraud perpetrated by Wells Fargo.

U.S. Military Wanted to Provoke War With Cuba
2001-05-01, ABC News
In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities. The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba's ... Fidel Castro. America's top military brass even contemplated causing U.S. military casualties, writing: "We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba," and, "casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation." The plans had the written approval of all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and were presented to President Kennedy's defense secretary, Robert McNamara, in March 1962. But they apparently were rejected by the civilian leadership and have gone undisclosed for nearly 40 years. The Joint Chiefs even proposed using the potential death of astronaut John Glenn during the first attempt to put an American into orbit as a false pretext for war with Cuba. Should the rocket explode and kill Glenn, they wrote, "the objective is to provide irrevocable proof … that the fault lies with the Communists." The scary thing is none of this stuff comes out until 40 years after.

Former U.S. Air Force Officers Recount Experiences With UFOs at Nuclear Missile Bases
2010-10-27, ABC News
The U.S. government's official line may be that unidentified flying objects (UFOs) don't pose a national security threat, but a group of former Air Force officers gathered Monday in the nation's capital to tell a different story. During a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., seven former Air Force officers once stationed at nuclear bases around the country said that not only have UFOs visited Air Force bases, some have succeeded in disabling nuclear missiles stationed there. "I want the government to acknowledge that this phenomenon exists," said Robert Salas, a former U.S. Air Force Nuclear Launch Officer. Salas said he doesn't think the UFOs he claims to have encountered had any offensive intent, but he believes they wanted to leave an impression. "They wanted to shine a light on our nuclear weapons and just send us a message," he said. "My interpretation is the message is get rid of them because it's going to mean our destruction." Other former officers recounted similar stories of unexplained moving lights and odd-shaped flying objects during their time in the service. Leslie Kean, an investigative journalist and author of the new book "UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record," said thousands of pages of documentation support the officers' accounts. She spent the last 10 years researching UFOs and combing through thousands of pages of declassified government material. Kean said that one declassified document that she researched for her book, relating to the Salas incident, said, "the fact that no apparent reason for the loss of the 10 missiles can easily be identified is a cause for grave concern to this headquarters."

Inside the secretive Bilderberg Group
2005-09-29, BBC News
How much influence do private networks of the rich and powerful have on government policies and international relations? One group, the Bilderberg, has often attracted speculation that it forms a shadowy global government. Every year since 1954 [they have brought] together about 120 leading business people and politicians. At this year's meeting in Germany, the audience included the heads of the World Bank and European Central Bank, Chairmen or Chief Executives from Nokia, BP, Unilever, DaimlerChrysler and Pepsi ... editors from five major newspapers, members of parliament, ministers, European commissioners ... and the queen of the Netherlands. The chairman ... is 73-year-old Viscount Etienne Davignon. In an extremely rare interview, he played down the importance of Bilderberg. "I don't think (we are) a global ruling class because I don't think a global ruling class exists." Will Hutton ... who attended a Bilderberg meeting in 1997, says people take part in these networks in order to influence the way the world works, to create what he calls "the international common sense". And that "common sense" is one which supports the interests of Bilderberg's main participants. For Bilderberg's critics the fact that there is almost no publicity about the annual meetings is proof that they are up to no good. Bilderberg meetings often feature future political leaders shortly before they become household names. Bill Clinton went in 1991 while still governor of Arkansas, Tony Blair was there two years later while still an opposition MP. All the recent presidents of the European Commission attended Bilderberg meetings before they were appointed. Informal and private networks like Bilderberg have helped to oil the wheels of global politics and globalisation for the past half a century.
Note: Why is this meeting of top world leaders kept so secret? Why, until a few years ago, was there virtually no reporting on this influential group in the major media? Thankfully, the alternative media has had some good articles. And a Google search can be highly informative. Explore many other revealing major media news articles on powerful secret societies. And for those interested, check out reliable, eye-opening information covering the big picture of how and why these secret societies are using government-sponsored mind control programs to achieve their agenda.

Alexa and Siri Can Hear This Hidden Command. You Can't.
2018-05-10, New York Times
Over the last two years, researchers in China and the United States have begun demonstrating that they can send hidden commands that are undetectable to the human ear to Apple's Siri, Amazon's Alexa and Google's Assistant. Researchers have been able to secretly activate the artificial intelligence systems on smartphones and smart speakers, making them dial phone numbers or open websites. In the wrong hands, the technology could be used to unlock doors, wire money or buy stuff online - simply with music playing over the radio. A group of students from University of California, Berkeley, and Georgetown University showed in 2016 that they could hide commands in white noise played over loudspeakers and through YouTube videos to get smart devices to turn on airplane mode or open a website. This month, some of those Berkeley researchers published a research paper that went further, saying they could embed commands directly into recordings of music or spoken text. So while a human listener hears someone talking or an orchestra playing, Amazon's Echo speaker might hear an instruction to add something to your shopping list. There is no American law against broadcasting subliminal messages to humans, let alone machines. The Federal Communications Commission discourages the practice as "counter to the public interest," and the Television Code of the National Association of Broadcasters bans "transmitting messages below the threshold of normal awareness."

Amazon paid no US income taxes for 2017
2018-02-27, San Francisco Chronicle (San Francisco's leading newspaper)
Amazon won't pay any federal income taxes after topping $5.6 billion in income in 2017. The Seattle-based online retailer will end up paying out roughly $769 million in taxes for the year, but $724 million of that will be in foreign taxes. That's according to an analysis of the online behemoth's 2017 10-K form, which "provides a comprehensive overview of the company's business and financial condition," according to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Public companies are required to submit the form every year to the SEC. Without being privy to the company's tax return, no one can say exactly how CEO Jeff Bezos and Co. avoided what could have been more than $1.3 billion in federal taxes based solely on the annual financial report, but there is information to be gleaned. For example, Amazon took out a $917 million tax deduction on stock options exercised by current or former employees. Unlike wages ... the stock options don't require any cash expenditures by the company. Another ingredient in the low tax bill is likely capital expenditure depreciation ... where companies are allowed to write off the cost of some expenses - say those incurred while building a distribution center, for example - up front. [Amazon] earned a windfall from the Trump administration's U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, passed in December. Amazon readjusted estimates for taxes deferred under the old 35 percent corporate tax rate to meet the new tax law's 21 percent figure, which resulted in an estimated $789 million reduction.

The FBI Is in Crisis. It's Worse Than You Think
2018-05-03, Time
The Justice Department's Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, will soon release a much-anticipated assessment of Democratic and Republican charges that officials at the FBI interfered in the 2016 presidential campaign. That year-long probe ... is expected to come down particularly hard on former FBI director James Comey. An earlier [report] in April by Horowitz ... showed that the ousted deputy director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe, had lied to the bureau's internal investigations branch to cover up a leak he orchestrated about Clinton's family foundation less than two weeks before the election. Another IG report in March found that FBI retaliation against internal whistle-blowers was continuing despite years of bureau pledges to fix the problem. There have been other painful, more public failures as well: missed opportunities to prevent mass shootings that go beyond the much-publicized overlooked warnings in the Parkland, Fla., school killings; an anguishing delay in the sexual-molestation probe into Olympic gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar; and evidence of misconduct by agents in the aftermath of standoffs with armed militias in Nevada and Oregon. FBI agents are facing criminal charges ranging from obstruction to leaking classified material. And then there's ... the FBI's miss of the Russian influence operation against the 2016 election. Jeffrey Danik, a retired FBI agent ... blames the state of affairs on "a severe lack of leadership" and transparency at headquarters.
Note: A New York Times article titled "Terrorist Plots, Hatched by the FBI" sheds further light on questionable practices within The Bureau. For more along these lines, see concise summaries of deeply revealing news articles on corruption in government and in the intelligence community.

[B]oth pro- and anti-abortion groups are focusing on the "legitimate rape" part because it distracts from the very issue Akin himself was trying to hide from: What about pregnancy that results from rape. Akin doesn't want to confront that this happens, which is why he put forth his dumb rape-doesn't-cause-pregnancy theory. Pro-choicers, for the most part, don't want to confront that an abortion that happens after a rape is still just as much an abortion as one that happens because nobody bothered with birth control.Rush Limbaugh had a similar theme on his show today:
I think both sides should own it. Stand in your truth and be straightforward about what you really believe.
The Democrats are gonna try to go to town on this Akin thing as much as they can. Their convention is gonna be the pro-abortion convention. They're gonna end up celebrating abortion at their convention. And, folks, psst, let me tell you something. I don't want you to tell anybody. Let them do it. Let them turn over their convention to Planned Parenthood and to NARAL and every other feminazi out there, you let them do it. Let them go right ahead and turn their convention into pro-abortion. If that's what they think is gonna win the election for them, if they really think this War on Women thing, that they can play it out, let them do it...
"The Democrat Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman's right to choose a safe and legal abortion regardless of ability to pay, and we oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right." Well, this includes now partial-birth abortion and taxpayer-funded abortion. The Democrats are making it plain they support all of that. The American people don't support taxpayer-funded abortion. The American people don't support partial-birth abortion.Swing voters — including me — think both parties, if they say what they really believe, are too extreme on abortion. Therefore, whichever party is clearest and most emphatic about abortion is the one that will lose votes. That's why Rush is saying let the Democrats have their big celebration of abortion and why Republicans are hot to rid themselves of Akin. It's better for each party to have its message be only about its general tendency — the Democrats toward access to abortions and the Republicans toward valuing the life of the unborn child.
Rush knows this too, because he stresses that Republicans shouldn't answer probing questions about abortion and rape. They should respond by demanding that the Democrats be asked "why they have blanket support for partial-birth abortion and taxpayer-funded abortion... why they think it's permissible for the government to tell the Catholic Church and other organizations they must make abortion available against their religious beliefs?"
Abortion politics is a strange game of displaying principles without showing how those principles would apply in the hard cases. We swing voters might warm up to your big principle, but will be horrified to hear about its principled application. Partial-birth abortion is to pro-choice as rape is to pro-life. The trick is to talk about the other side's details and your own big idea.

I grew up with a whip-smart mom who stayed at home with us, and so I always approach discussions like these with a bit of a chip on my shoulder, alert to any slights whatsoever against the choices and life mission of someone I so love and admire — even if I don't plan to make precisely the same ones. But more of it is probably generational. For recession-scarred twentysomethings, staying at home or taking menial jobs is involuntary, but not because social mores dictate that women can't achieve: It's because so few of us, regardless of gender, have gotten hired at jobs Friedan might consider fulfilling...What's so wrong about paying close attention to the details of the beauty of your environment? Fussy... there's a word. When is intense, attentive work deemed fussy? This is a word that has long been used against women and against gay men. Is a person supposed to be interested in something other than what he or she finds interesting? Why? Who says what the proper foci of interest are in this world? Some people are more sensitive to the visual specifics of their environment. It's not as if the people who aren't spend their lives plumbing the meaning of the universe. Perhaps the interior decorator is closer to the core of what truly matters than the corporate lawyer.
I'm sure Betty wouldn't be happy to see all the expensively educated young women of Brooklyn, where I live, spending their free time taking floral-arranging classes and knitting and fussily setting up their living rooms just so....
Now, I've derailed onto the subject of the word "fussy." I just had a long conversation with Meade about his associations with the word. Knowing nothing of the context in which I'd encountered the word, he associated it with objects — specifically drawings and handmade pottery — that are inferior because they have been overworked. I prompted him to think of calling a person fussy, and he said "a baby." Time to check the Oxford English Dictionary (which I can't link to). The first meaning applies to "persons, their habits and actions": "Fond of fuss, moving and acting with fuss; habitually busy about trifles." Examples:
1831 T. Moore Mem. (1854) VI. 201 Lucky for him that he is so little of an irritable or fussy nature.The third meaning relates to things: "Of dress, etc.: Full of petty details. Also, in dressmaking language, without depreciatory implication; With many flounces, puffs, pleats, etc."
1850 Fraser's Mag. 41 163 She is fussy and fidgetty (if there be such words).
1858 J. G. Holland Titcomb's Lett. i. 92 Let every garment be well fitted.. fussy in no point....Flounces, puffs... Hear the homophobic echoes. Anyway, the etymology of fussy is obvious. It's just a -y added to fuss. What's the etymology of fuss?
1896 Westm. Gaz. 7 May 3/1 The fussy sunshade is much beflounced with lace-edged chiffon.
Perhaps echoic of the sound of something sputtering or bubbling, or expressive of the action of 'puffing and blowing'.The 2 oldest examples for fuss:
1701 G. Farquhar Sir Harry Wildair iii. i. 21 Ah! I hate these Congregation-women. There's such a fuss and such a clutter about their Devotion.And now, I am fully off track, looking for the full text of Lord Landsdowne's very cool poem "The Wild Boar's Defense," which I'm going to type out in full, because I'm only seeing images of book pages and I want to make it more available. The wild boar wants to be free:
c1730 Ld. Lansdowne Wild Boar's Def. in Wks. (1732) I. 140 With your Humanity you keep a Fuss; But are in truth worse brutes than all of us.
A boar, who had enjoy'd a happy reignMy Wi-Fi took me there, in my unfussy riffing this morning. I suppose I could tie it all up somehow. Husbands, wives... destroy each other.
For many a year, and fed on many a man,
Call'd to account, softening his savage eyes,
Thus suppliant pleads his cause before he dies:
"For what am I condemned? My crime's no more
To eat a man than yours to eat a boar.
We seek not you, but take what chance provides,
Nature and mere necessity our guides:
You murder us in sport, then dish us up
For drunken feasts, a relish for the cup.
We lengthen not our meals: but you much feast;
Gorge till your bellies burst — pray who's the beast?
With your humanity you keep a fuss,
But are in truth worse brutes than all of us.
We prey not on our kind; but you, dear brother,
Most beastly of all beasts, devour each other:
Kings worry kings, neighbour with neighbour strives,
Fathers and sons, friends, brothers, husbands, wives,
By fraud or force, by poison, sword, or gun,
Destroy each other, every mother's son!"
Who's the beast?

Former AL president Lee MacPhail dies at 95
Hall of Fame executive integral to success of Orioles, Yankees, ruled in Pine Tar Game
By Marty Noble / MLB.com | 11/09/12 3:50 PM ET
HOF Bio: Lee MacPhail00:00:40
Lee MacPhail was a front office executive for 45 years; during his tenure with the Yankees, they won seven World Championships in ten years
A gentle and distinguished member of one of baseball's foremost families, a widely respected man with palpable wisdom, integrity and prudence, has died. Lee MacPhail, soft-spoken, steadfast, and above all, reasonable, was the primary representative of the second generation of a family that has served the game since the 1930s and remains involved. He died Thursday at age 95 in Delray Beach, Fla., his home in recent years.
MacPhail was baseball's King Solomon; he understood the greater good of the game and worked for it. Neither conservative nor liberal in his baseball politics, he helped usher in the designated-hitter rule, presided over the expansion of the American League, was the integral force in the settlement of the protracted players' strike in 1981 and used his considerable influence to bring Interleague Play to the fore.
Before any of that, he was general manager of the Orioles and Yankees. And he served as the president of the American League, often crossing swords with his one-time boss, George Steinbrenner.
Whatever MacPhail did was done with disarming class and dignity, so much so that Steinbrenner once said, quite uncharacteristically, "You don't want to be against MacPhail on an important issue too many times because you start to look bad if you are."
Moreover, MacPhail's discretion and manner earned him a place in the Hall of Fame, in 1998, and permanent recognition for all he had done for the game. He and his father, Larry, the baseball innovator who guided the Reds, Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers, are the lone father-son tandem in Cooperstown.
"Lee MacPhail was one of the great executives in baseball history and a Hall of Famer in every sense, both personally and professionally," Commissioner Bud Selig said. "I had great admiration for Lee as American League president, and he was respected and liked by everyone with whom he came in contact. His hallmarks were dignity, common sense and humility.
"He was not only a remarkable league executive, but was a true baseball man as is evidenced by his brilliant leadership of the storied New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles franchises. Lee always put the interests of the sport first and through his love of the game taught all of us to cherish it in every way. Major League Baseball and all of our clubs feel a great sense of loss today, and I send my deepest condolences to one of the first families of the national pastime."
While Lee MacPhail served as league president during Bowie Kuhn's tenure as Commissioner, he was seen by some to be the de facto conscience of the game because of his wisdom, unfailing fairness and balanced outlook.
"Everyone should listen when Mr. MacPhail speaks," then-Rangers owner Eddie Chiles said in 1982. "We all can learn from him."
Oddly, MacPhail's highest profile developed in 1983 when Steinbrenner dragged him into the pine-tar wars. The relentlessness of the Yankees owner made a sticky situation stickier and prolonged it to such a degree that the generic term "pine tar" eventually warranted upper-case treatment, not to mention a roll of the eyes and an incredulous shake of the head.
But countless skirmishes between Steinbrenner and MacPhail about umpires' calls and what-not kept the dignified league president in headlines, a position inconsistent with his low-key nature.
* * * * * The MacPhail family is the executive-level equivalent of the Bells, Boones and Griffeys, beginning with Lee's father, Larry, and carrying through Larry's grandsons: Andy, who has served the Twins, Cubs and Orioles as general manager, and Lee III, who was killed in an automobile accident in 1969 while he was working as the general manager of the Reading Phillies. Lee IV, Lee's grandson, has worked as the Orioles' director of professional scouting.
In between was Leland Stanford MacPhail Jr., a man you could trust with your watch, your secret or your franchise.
He was a modest and measured man who spoke only after he had studied the circumstances. He smiled gently and, people say, he was quite the opposite of his father, who shared some characteristics -- he was loud, impulsive and domineering -- with Steinbrenner.
"Unfortunately, a person with my father's talent comes along only once every 50 years," Lee said about Larry. "I've never thought of imitating him. I inherited neither his genius nor his temper. I'm just an ordinary person."
Lee MacPhail's seventh year as Yankees general manager was Steinbrenner's first year in the game, 1973. MacPhail left; he had seen enough. Sixteen years after that departure he shared his first impressions of Steinbrenner, ones that had developed in Spring Training 1973.
"We were playing the Mets in Fort Lauderdale, and the game was televised back to New York," he said. "[Manager Ralph] Houk had his pitchers set up so they'd get the right amount of work that day. Ralph wasn't very interested in who won an exhibition game. But later on, we found out George was. He wanted to know why Ralph didn't have [Mel] Stottlemyre ready to pitch ... I think that was the first time each of us -- Ralph and I -- realized what we might be in for. It wasn't much later that we began to make arrangements to leave."
Available, MacPhail was elected American League president, succeeding Joe Cronin and preceding Dr. Bobby Brown. He held position through 1984.
Although his interaction with Steinbrenner made him more prominent, being the target of the Yankees' bully owner was not how MacPhail made his bones in the game. He already had created a resume of significant achievement long before Steinbrenner entered.
He worked for the Dodgers in the early '40s when his father ran the operation and moved to the Yankees in 1945 when Larry MacPhail purchased a share of the club. Lee MacPhail was involved in player development then. Consider the players the Yankees developed in that period: Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Gil McDougald, Elston Howard, Hank Bauer, Jerry Coleman, Jackie Jensen, Lew Burdette, Billy Martin, Gus Triandos and Vic Power.
MacPhail was named Orioles general manager in 1959 and served as club president from 1960-65 while the O's developed the players who would win a pennant in 1966, five American League East championships by 1974 and World Series championships in 1966 and '70.
He engineered one of the most famous trades of all time in December 1965, sending pitchers Milt Pappas and Jack Baldshun and outfielder Dick Simpson to the Reds for future Hall of Fame outfielder Frank Robinson.
Robinson won the Triple Crown in 1966 as the Orioles swept the Dodgers -- beating Don Drysdale twice and Sandy Koufax once -- for the franchise's first-ever World Series title.
The core of that team and the ones that followed consisted of Frank and Brooks Robinson, Jim Palmer, Boog Powell, Mark Belanger, Davey Johnson, Paul Blair, Dave McNally and others.
When baseball neophyte William "Spike" Eckert was elected Commissioner in 1966, MacPhail was named his advisor. He returned to the Yankees to be GM in 1967, the year after the team's ignominious descent to 10th place, and began the restoration process that culminated with a pennant in 1976 and with Thurman Munson, a player MacPhail's organization had developed, emerging as the team's leader. The team's subsequent successes were Steinbrenner's doing.
* * * * * MacPhail was born in Nashville, Tenn., in 1917 and graduated from Swarthmore College. His upbringing brought him to love baseball, appreciate classical music and develop integrity recognized throughout the game.
That integrity helped find a settlement for the players' strike in 1981. The union mistrusted the club's lead negotiator, Ray Grebey. He was pushed aside shortly before an agreement was reached. "Without making an announcement, they had clearly made Lee the head person," the union's executive director, Marvin Miller, said. Miller trusted MacPhail.
"I am saddened to learn of Lee MacPhail's passing," Miller said Friday. "Lee was a good man, trustworthy and honest, and I had a decent relationship with him over the years. I offer my condolences to his son, Andy, and all his family and friends."
Not long after baseball had begun to heal from the strike, MacPhail began to endorse Interleague Play. "I just think it's great to have the Cubs play the White Sox and the Yankees play the Mets," he said. And to those who pointed to the lackluster matchups -- the Royals vs. the Pirates, for example -- MacPhail applied indisputable logic: "It's just as good as playing the non-contenders in your own league."
His push for Interleague play seldom was recognized because he had removed himself from the game before Interleague games were introduced in 1997. Unfairly perhaps, he was more recognized for the Pine Tar mess that developed in the summer of '83. When the Royals' George Brett was ruled out for having pine tar too far up on his bat, taking away a decisive home run against the Yankees, MacPhail reversed the decision, citing "the spirit of the rule" and reinstating Brett's homer.
Seven years later, just before Steinbrenner was to begin his second suspension -- for his relationship and use of gambler Howie Spira -- MacPhail spoke candidly and forcefully about the Yankees owner.
"The Yankees franchise will be better off," he said. "A little of what went on through the years might have been all right. But enough is enough. Baseball needs a break. The Yankee fans need a break. Everything can be tolerated for just so long." When MacPhail spoke, seldom was heard a disparaging word, which made his harsh comments about Steinbrenner so intriguing.
"You have to balance everything at the end," he said. "And the bad is so much more than the good. I'm sure he's done good in personal ways ... helping Tommy John when his boy was so seriously hurt. But his effect on baseball and the New York Yankees franchise is heavily in favor of the bad."
"Nothing else was anywhere close," MacPhail said. "He would complain about everything. ... He was just compulsive. It was sad. But he couldn't help himself.
"It's sad because he has a good mind; he's bright. He can be charming, and he's done a lot of good, in a personal sense, for many people. But he goes a little batty when things go wrong, and there's no limit to how far he will go to get what he wants."
The words wounded and angered Steinbrenner, and years later after he had been reinstated, he still felt their sting: "I'm not saying he was right," The Boss said. "And a man with that kind of standing in the game should choose his words carefully. But Lee MacPhail always does was he thinks is right. Most of the time, he is. You have to respect his strength. I do."

My best friend and I occasionally have sex. Maybe two or three times a year.
I don't think it's good for our friendship and I always feel bad about it after. We try to avoid it but it seems like it's just always a matter of time until we slip up. I guess it's difficult to never do it again once you have crossed that line.
I was wondering if this is common for gay guys? I've never heard about it happening with any other gay guys I know but on the other hand I'm guessing it's something people avoid talking about.
I'm talking about a real close friend not guys you hang out with or fuck buddies.
Please share

Last year, Nintendo announced that famed designer Masahiro Sakurai, who created the Smash Bros. series as well as the Kirby franchise and more recently puzzler Meteos (NDS), had been brought on board to design the Wii version of Smash Bros. despite having left developer HAL Laboratories to found his own studio Sora. Today, Nintendo revealed that full development did not begin until much later, and the game has been "delayed" until early 2007. Previously, company president Satoru Iwata hinted, but did not state explicitly, the the game might be seen at the system's launch.
In a press briefing, Sakurai stated that the control scheme for the game has not been finalized, and may potentially use a GameCube controller. It seems more likely, however, that if Sakurai elects to go with a more standard control layout, it would use the Wii-specific retro controller unveiled yesterday. As far as whether the game will be online Sakurai states that there may be difficulties in satisfactorily preserving the fast four-player action online, but the team is shooting for it.
Though the control scheme may very well be quite similar to that of the previous games, it looks like Sakurai has no plans to simply clone Super Smash Bros. Melee. In an update on the game's official site, he says, " I also want to change the atmosphere of the game itself a little, too. But you'll just have to look forward to how I'll be doing that." To drive the point home, he makes the surprising announcement that renowned Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu will be providing music for the game, which will be performed by a full orchestra and chorus with Latin lyrics written by Sakurai. The main theme is offered for download on the site as well.
We've also got some screenshots, which given the early state of the game were labeled "in development." The official site also has a trailer, containing Snake's introduction to the franchise, which should be amusing to Metal Gear Solid fans.

So, which stud, who may have claimed to be straight and to love the "vag" surprised you the most by bottoming for another man?
There are many guys on Corbin F. and Sean C. or Randy B. that I thought would never bottom and did. Maybe you thought they wouldn't because of things they said in their initial interview with the site, or maybe you just thought they were just too butch or too afraid.
For me I'll say these guys:
Lucas from Corbin FIsher - I think he bottomed first for the 1st time with Cody--hot scene!
Cain from CF-don't think he's done it more than once or twice.
Kris Evans from Bel Ami
Here's some photographic evidence--
