I did not touch girl on midnight trip to quarry, Carlisle man tells court
Last updated at 11:56, Wednesday, 28 November 2012
A man has told a court that he did not touch a girl in a sexual manner when he drove her to a quarry at midnight.
Related: Girl sobs as she tells Cumbrian court how she was groped
Mark Klein, 46, of Charles Street, Carlisle, had been giving the girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, a ride home on his motorbike.
He told Carlisle Crown Court that they had gone to see the site of the former Kingswood Activity Centre, near Dalston, and then on to a disused quarry at Caldbeck.
It is here, at the quarry, that the girl alleges that Klein touched her bottom and tried to kiss her.
Klein said: "There was no personal conversation. We talked about the stars and I showed her various landmarks and the lights in England and Scotland.
"We didn't get off the bike and we didn't remove our helmets."
Klein said the girl took a phone call off her dad and said he wasn't "happy" so they made their way home.
Klein said: "We got back to the girl's house at 1am. Her dad was standing outside and he shouted to her to get in the house. He threw her bag into the hall and everything scattered.
"He started to try and pick a fight with me but we'd done nothing wrong."
In the days that followed, Klein said he received a message from the girl asking him to delete her off Facebook.
Klein said he sent a series of messages to the girl as he believed her dad was using her account and he was trying to get him to "bite".
The prosecution claim Klein contacted the girl by text message and social networks under an assumed name, where he made many sexual suggestions.
Klein has denied engaging in sexual activity with a child and four other charges – three of voyeurism and one charge of committing an act intending to pervert the course of justice.
He is also accused of installing cameras in the bathrooms of two houses and filming women and a girl under 16 while they were undressed.
Klein said he had installed one of the cameras so he could see if one of the girl's was smoking in her bathroom.
The trial continues.

About DEV
DEV (Digital Entertainment Ventures) is a New York-based firm that provides guidance, seed and early stage capital to companies that are transforming media and entertainment. Its clients and portfolio companies span music, TV, film, games, publishing and social media. They use innovative advertising, promotional and technology platforms, and the latest devices from Internet-enabled TVs to tablets to mobile handsets.
A radical transformation in media and entertainment is underway, and is uniquely linked to New York City. The city's traditional media businesses have been battered by the decline of CD, newspaper and magazine sales, the flattening of pay TV subscribers and DVD sales, and the explosion of mobile devices that enable the consumption of digital media. This has also created unprecedented opportunity for smart digital solutions. Many of these new models are evolving in New York City's flourishing startup ecosystem, which has benefitted from an influx of traditional media talent. DEV is committed to fostering the growth of these next generation companies.
Led by experienced digital media executive Alan McGlade and former entrepreneur and venture capitalist Michael Yang, DEV supports its portfolio companies with a high level of involvement. The DEV team takes an active role in business plan development, financial modeling, market analysis, IP and go-to-market strategy.
DEV offers investors a unique opportunity to invest in promising early stage, high growth companies, some of which may be fully owned and incubated by DEV. Using New York City as a geographic focus, DEV portfolio companies are vetted and guided by McGlade, Yang and a team of experienced advisors from media and entertainment.
DEV's fund has made initial investments in several companies including web-based live music platform Stageit and mobile gaming company Mad Humans. Stageit was launched in the fall of 2010 by CEO and music industry veteran Evan Lowenstein, who has nearly 20 years of experience as a recording artist, award-winning writer and executive. Mad Humans was a DEV-incubated concept; the game will launch prior to the upcoming presidential election.
Alan McGlade has over two decades of experience in taking companies from early conceptual stage to significant market player in television and digital media. For the last nine years he was the Chief Executive and a member of the Board of Directors of MediaNet, an early player in providing legal digital music downloads. Prior to MediaNet, he was CEO of interactive music video channel Video Jukebox Network (The Box Music Television), which he sold to MTV in 2001. He was also the President of targeted cable advertising and marketing companies StarNet and Adlink.
Michael Yang has extensive experience as a venture capitalist and entrepreneur. He is currently a senior venture/funds formation attorney. Previously he was a venture capitalist for Divine Interventures and Sandbox Strategies, both in Chicago. In 1999, he founded and served as CTO for enterprise resource collaboration platform Redmind, which he sold to Ikimbo in 2001.
The DEV Executive Council includes Joseph Saviano, partner and chief financial officer of NY-based private equity firm Baker Capital; D. Walker Wainwright, founder and chief executive officer of independent financial advisory firm Wainwright and Co. LLC; and Alan Goodstadt, partner at NY-based boutique investment bank Redwood Capital.

Fox 9 News has learned that Faribault police are investigating three Shattuck-St. Mary's students for sexual assault, and one of those is a member of the school's legendary hockey program.
Investigators say they are still in the preliminary stages of a case that could last for weeks, but the stakes are high for the students involved -- especially for a highly-regarded hockey player.
The historic and pastoral campus of Shattuck-St. Mary's hosts more than a prestigious boarding school. In recent years, it's also become synonymous with hockey. In fact, it's almost a hockey factory of sorts, producing big-time alumni like Zach Parise, of the Minnesota Wild, and Sidney Crosby, captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Just last month, the boy's prep team won a record 9th national championship, with three of those championship titles coming in just the last four years; however, Fox 9 News has learned something else allegedly happened then, too.
One of the players from that team -- a standout and potential NHL prospect -- is now under investigation along with two other students for a sexual assault that occurred somewhere off campus 9 days ago.
Faribault police say the alleged sexual assault happened on Saturday, April 26, and was reported by a third party the next day. Police would not say who that third party was, but the school found out about it after the weekend and they reported it too, which is required under state law.
"We are assisting the police in their investigation of an off-campus incident of alleged student misconduct," Shattuck-St. Mary's confirmed in a statement. "Out of respect for that process and because the allegations involve students, it would be inappropriate for us to make any further public comment at this time."
The school has said nothing more, and won't even confirm whether the suspects are still enrolled -- but in a school with fewer than 500 students and where hockey is king, chances are everyone knows the players and the penalty.
Police declined to say whether the victim was also a student, but of the three suspects, only one is 18 and the other two are juveniles. None have been arrested or charged.
The Faribault Police Department did say that the school has been extremely cooperative in the investigation, but it is still unclear at this point whether the suspects have granted interviews to police of if they've lawyered up. A phone call to the parents of the hockey player involved was not returned.

A Frozen Memory 6 FINAL Jack FrostxReaderThere ,standing in front of you, was thee Jack Frost. Your Jack Frost. Another cold wave of air rushs into the room. Jack points his staff at Pitch, threatening him. Pitch commands his horses to gather at the scene. Horse after horse appeared, trotting around the fight. Pitch gave another award winning smile and cackle. Jack tensed up, preparing to fight. The horses were beginning to get antsy. Some even dared to get closer to Jack. Jack hit the closest one with his staff. The horse disapeared in to black sand. More and more gathered around. Jack fought of each, but with difficulty. It was hard for Jack to handle so many with so little.You began to pick yourself up from the ground. You could still barely able to move. You looked down at your legs. Your pants were ripped apart there and there. Black sand crawled up your leg, stopping around your ankle. You clawed at it, but it held firm. You kept hitting at it till it began to weaken. Looking back up at the fight, Jack and Pitch were f
A Frozen Memory 5 Jack FrostxReaderA loud cackle roams the house with your small scream. And then, you were gone. You were hoisted up onto a.. horse? The animal was not like what you found in the zoo. Its huge frame was made up of black sand. Its belly was made of swirling patterns of a lighter black. The stallions eyes were a bright yellow, much like the mans. You stared at it, not sure in suprise or shock. Probably both. As soon as you were completely on, the stallion was off. You didnt have a moment to think. It went zooming off into the night, higher and higher in the air. you tried to hold on, but all you grabbed was sand. You were about to scream, but black sand wrapped your lips. Breathing in through your nose, the smell of the sand became intoxicating. Your eyelids fluttered shut. All you remember was the forest beginning to become closer..You were running, running towards someone. You couldnt quite make them out till you got closer. It was Jack, white hair and all. You wrapped your arms around his waist, all y
A Frozen Memory 3 Jack FrostxReaderCrouched on your bed was thee Jack Frost. Your eyes wander over him, making sure this was real. He just gave you the same goofy smile. A really beautiful smile actually.. But finally it hits you. Why in the world was this guy in your house? And how did he get in here? You couldnt help but to scream, a natural reaction. Jack tried calming you down. He put his cold hand to your mouth; You relaxed with his touch. He chuckled slightly as he stared at you. You stretch again and get up from your cozy bed."Hey Jack?" you blurted out. He looked up at you eagerly."Could you-ah- maybe l-leave for a second?" you asked polietly. His face looked like a kicked puppy. You felt bad but he did need to get out for a quick second."Wwwwwhhhyy? I came all this way to see you." he moaned."Well your going to see more then Id like if you stick in here." you reply. You turn around, grabbing fresh clothes from the drawer. Jack pieced the puzzle together and walked out. Taking a quick peek to make sure he wa
A Frozen Memory Jack FrostxReader 2"The name's Jack Frost." He said with a bright smile. You began to put the puzzle going on your head. You had finally figured out why he looked so familar. This was him. This was the boy from the dream. Something about him seemed so familiar about him. His face was identical to the boys. Even his hair and eyes; the colors were just different. You stepped back, flabbergasted. How could this be? The boy was just a pigment of your imagination. It wasn't real, was it? You could only stare at the boy, your mind to crowded to think. A million things ran through your head. You tried to move but you were frozen. Your legs screamed in protest of leaving. Nothing was functioning, laying limp in defiance.His eyebrows furrowed in curiosity and anger. He tried to touch your shoulder again but you jerked back. He felt so...hurt. Why were you ignoring him? Why didn't you want him to touch you? Was it something he said? Were you scared? Was he too cold? He made a circle around you, investigating you.
A Frozen Memory Jack FrostxReader They always taught you that the past is a painful sight. That it had nothing but bad memories held within it. They promised good futures. Nothing but happiness to come your way. They lied. The past wasn't terrible. It held a beautiful memory that seemed to slip your mind. But it wasn't your fault. The only reason you knew of the memory was because it came to you in a dream many years ago. It wasn't truly yours to begin with. It was from a last life. A life from a long time ago.Softly skipping, you begin to make your way to school. Plush snow falls from the sky. The snow makes small patterns in your hair. A giggle slips out of your mouth. You stretch your tongue out and catch some snowflakes. You look over at your school with disguist. You walk into school, looking forward to it ending.The day seemed to drag on forever. After numerous lectures you finally made it to lunch. You sit by your friends as usual. This was the only part of the day (in school) you enjoyed. After many laughs
I Promise To Love You Jack FrostxReaderWaking up in cold sweat, you try to settle your breathing. Your body shook in terror; your head hurting from your growing headache. You try to hold yourself, telling yourself its alright. Your breathing becomes balanced, but you were somewhere else. Your mind drifting back to the nightmare.You were running. You werent sure where or why, you just had to keep moving. Golden eyes stare, piercing you. So many more come out of the shadows, proudly showing their demented eyes. You can't help but stop in mid run, staring at them. They have beautiful ruffs of black hair, shining even in the shadows. Their long ears slicked back in predator mode, their lips pulled back, showing their glistening white teeth. Those yellow orbs never leaving your sight.Prowling out of the shadows emerges about ten wolves. They all stare at their next meal hungrily. Mind blank, you just stare. They come closer steadily, one paw at a time. Your body shakes in an unforgetable fear, your whole frame stuck in this te
I Promise To Love You Jack FrostxReader 4 Jack stood behind a tree, eavesdropping. He didn't even mean to be here. He was just making sure the forest had a nice layer of snow for the kids. But then you caught his eye. He remembered you from the necklace he gave you. So Jack did what an mischievous kid would do; eavesdrop. Even though it wasn't right, Jack listened to your story. A fury erupted in him when he heard Pitchs plans. He was just probably using (name)! Jack thought about confronting Pitch. But that seem to rash at the moment, he was alone as well. Jack tried to be silent and walk over to you. You laid still, looking up into the sky. Your eyes seem to sparkle in the moonlight. You looked so peaceful. Jack leaned over you, a cocky grin on his face. It took you a moment to respond, but when you did it was painful. You screamed and lifted up your head, hitting it with Jacks. "Why are you here?" You hissed. You rubbed your head, a small bump forming. Jack put a hand behind his head, leaning on his
I Promise To Love You Jack FrostxReader 2 "Dad?" You repeat the word, it sounded so foreign in your mouth. You had never called someone that. Yes, North was like a father, but father figure. You never felt that connection of father and daughter relationship. Pitch laughed softly. "Yes my dear. Father. And your my daughter." He replied, passing it off nonchalantly. Your brain repeats the word over and over again. Father, father... "Lie! Your lying!" You scream. You shake your head vigorously, your mind swarming with ideas and objections. Putting your hands to your head, you try to sooth the coming headache. "Lying?! Why in this world would I lie about something like that? Do you honestly think the boogeyman goes around telling people that he's their parent?" The man told you angrily. You could tell his temper was rising. It seemed like it was so hard to try to cool himself. Pitch calmed himself once again. He outstretched his hand towards you. He gave a fake smile and focused on you."Please let me e
I Promise To Love You 5 Jack FrostxReader~Later on~You sat around the lonesome cavern. It was night time so Pitch was at work. You sat glumly at your desk. Fiddling with a pen, you stare at your (fav color) wall. The days seem to blend into eachother with eternal boredom.Finally getting up, you walk around the silent "home". The horses neigh off in the distance, but besides that, there's nothing. This was actually the first time you were home alone. Of course Pitch would leave every night. But you were always put to sleep way before that. Pitch probably having to do with the fact you alwas fell asleep before he left. Anyways, Mischievousness kicking in; you high tail it out of there. Crawling through the tunnel, you finally make it to your sweet escape. A soft breeze rolls over you. The fresh air greets your lungs. With a soft smile placed on your face, you run out of the forest.This was one of the times you cherish most. Seeing the town. You had only went a couple of times in your life. And each and every time you we're s

With her left palm covering her mouth, she lifted her right index finger and pointed at the floating boy in front of her, "You
You can't see him?" [Name] tried to dauntingly say around her palm, too frightened she would start screaming again if she remo

Also I don't want to fit everything into this one chapter.]Chapter 1: Forest Blizzard [Name] buckled onto the frigid ground, speckles of ice stung at her eyes and fingertips. [Name] weakly gritted her teeth. Everything on her body hurt. Her face was numb from the cold and her vision was beginning to grow faint. So, this is the end, she thought dimly. I'm going to freeze, and no one would even have the slightest idea of what had killed me. [Name] could feel the gale ripping right above her wildly, the snow quickly beginning to burying her, causing her to become even colder than she was prior. Just as [Name]'s vision began to blink out, she saw the outline of a figure holding a gnarled staff. She tried to call for help, as a last ditch effort to

As I slid on a dry pair of jeans, I noticed my hands were still trembling. Thoughts and questions swirled through my mind so fast I felt dizzy.Jack Frost was waiting for me in my bedroom. The temperature in my room was considerably lower compared to the rest of the house, and small snowflakes were drifting lightly in the dimly lit air. Jack was perched on top of my dresser, flipping through one of my books. Lord of the Rings meets Peter Pan , I laughed to myself as I studied him.Apparently my brain started working again. "Hey!" I said loudly, surprising him. "How did you know where I live?" I demanded.He hesitated. "Um… I've been… following you… for… a bit" he admitted slowly, avoiding my gaze."Creepy", I mutt

[Name] rubbed her eyes and stood up, then strolled over to her dresser. [Name] slipped on her baby blue cotton sweater and then a pair of sweatpants. She carefully picked her way around her messy room and looked out the window. S-snow?! [Name] rubbed her eyes again to make sure she was seeing things right.It is snow![Name] turned around quickly and ran back over to her dresser again, pulling out a fluffy trench coat and a pair of black gloves before running outside to get a closer look at it.She bent down and ran her gloved fingertips through the soft powder, "How did this happen?" [Name] murmured to herself, "It was nice and bright last night

She looked over to face him, "Do you ever wash your clothes?"Jack lifted an eyebrow and sniffed under his arm, "Why, does it smell bad?"[Name] giggled and butted him with her hip; "You know that's not what I meant!" she walked past the clothing store and looked out at the park fountain. "I just happened to notice you wear the same clothes all of the time."Jack shrugged, "I haven't exactly thought of it." He floated over to her and sat down on top of the statue. "Jack, get down from there!" [Name] called up. She noticed his eyes went wide with shock and sadness for a second, and she wondered what she said. He drifted back down and muttered "sorry" before continuing to walk.[Name] frowned and followed him, "Uh
Did I say something wrong?"Jack looked over at her and just shook his head softly. He looked up in shock when a flame dancer appeared, performing a show in the middle of the park.

Santa asked, walking forwards to observe [Name].[Name] stared at him; she didn't think Santa would have tattoos and an accent.Jack nodded, "I'm sure you know who Santa is, [Name]. We call him North, instead."Jack looked at the other guardians, "I'm going to introduce [Name] to North first, since we're already here. Why don't you guys meet us at your places?"Before [Name] could look around North to see which direction they were heading, they disappeared."Alright. So like I said, this is Santa, but we call him North.""Hello, North." [Name] shyly tugged her hair tips as she stared up at the large man.

This side of the park was woody and deserted. The sun was setting in the distance, casting an eerie glow through the trees and across the snowy landscape.I hummed one of my favorite winter songs as I trudged through the snow. Apparently I was the first person to come down this trail since the last snowfall. Feeling safe and alone, I began to sing the cheery tune out loud."Jack Frost was in the gardenI saw him there at dawn"The wind picked up, sending a shiver down my spine. It almost seemed like the trees were listening, leaning in. The woods had gone silent. I smiled and continued, emphasizing every syllable."A' dancing round the bushesAnd prancing on the….

[Name] rubbed her head before looking up, her breath catching in her throat at the beauty of the place she was in.It was a giant palace sticking out from the bottom of a mountainous range and it looked like small hummingbirds were flying around everywhere, placing teeth into capsules and grabbing quarters from machines."Th-this is beautiful!" [Name] gasped, awestruck at her surroundings.Jack walked over to her and helped her to her feet, biting his lower lip like he was trying not to laugh. "We better go meet Toothiana up in her palace, hop on."Jack turned around and bent down so that [Name] could get onto his back. [Name] wrapped her arms around Jacks neck as he took off from the ground, she noticed how a lot of the small hummingbirds, at closer inspection she realized they were fairies, were stopping to stare at her and Jack for a moment before continuing on

She shut the door quietly after Jack had walked in, and then went over to where her mom was reading her book. "Mom?"Her mom turned around and smiled at her, wrinkles forming around her mouth. "Hello, sweetie." "Is it ok if I go out for a while tomorrow?" "Matters on how long you're talking about and where you're going." [Name] glanced at Jack, asking him with her eyes what she should say. Her mom noticed her staring off into space, "What are you looking at?" [Name] looked back at her mom and muttered "You wouldn't believe me if I told you it was Jack Frost." "What was that?" "Nothing.

Jack listened as you told him about your school, the drama, the work, everything. He chuckled at most of it, pety "human" problems he called them. You gave him a look and went on. You told him about your parents, how you grew up, how they died. How you lived by yourself, managing with the help of others money plus your own.For some reason it all just came at once.

Goldman, Google only muddy the picture
Google's disappointing quarter and the Goldman Sachs settlement don't offer any clear guidance, except to stay on the sidelines.
By Jim Cramer, TheStreet
We get Goldman Sachs (GS) back but we lose Google (GOOG)? Or did we lose Google a while ago and get a whole bunch of financials back? Hard to puzzle through.
Last night confirmed what we've been wondering since last quarter: Google is not a monopoly. It is in competition with Facebook and Apple (AAPL), two formidable adversaries. Facebook can spend whatever it wants, as it is private and doesn't have to report to shareholders, and Apple can do whatever it wants and seems to do it right.
And to compete, Google, one of the most cash-rich companies on the globe, is raising capital! That's not what we want to hear from a company that missed estimates and is experiencing maturity at a lightning pace. Plus, it has ceded to China! You can never cede to China if you are a growth company. Only local, community banks don't dream of entering that market. I can't think of any other business that doesn't want to operate there or find a way to do so unfettered.
That's nasty. And it is negative.
Google can make the good news of other tech companies, like Intel (INTC) and Novellus (NVLS) (and it was good news), pale by comparison, even as the bloom left the rose last quarter.
As for Goldman? We have to see what the quarter is. But we know the worst is now off the table, and we simply have to give it a price-to-earnings ratio that somehow reflects vastly fluctuating earnings.
I got a caller last night asking me about it, and, frankly, I didn't know how to put a multiple on the darned thing. I have no doubt it will recover quickly from the $550 million settlement, which amounts to a couple of not-so-hot weeks' earnings.
But its earnings power is reduced by sloppy markets, and its basic method of operation -- the internal hedge fund setup -- may conceivably be regulated out of existence courtesy of the financial reform law.
Of course, it turns out that one of the biggest reportorial mistakes in the Goldman story was that the Securities and Exchange Commission turned the case over to the Justice Department. It so clearly didn't do that. But that story took the stock down 30 points, and there's no accountability whatsoever by the reporters and editors who let it through, even though at the time my Justice Department sources said it was fanciful.
All in all, it's a mixed picture, and not one that makes me want to jump up and down and say take Goldman Sachs up $15 or Google down $15.
It makes for more good reasons to stay on the sidelines, with the exception of growth companies that do lots of non-cyclical business in Europe. Ironically, with the euro so strong vs. the dollar, the earnings estimates are -- remarkably -- too low!
At the time of publication, Cramer was long Intel and Apple.

In remembrance of MCA, Adam Yauch, I would like to share my experience as a teenager interning at Grand Royal Records. I feel a bit cheeky doing so but it was such a wonderful time, I am so grateful for it and want to share.
I remember my first day at Grand Royal Records in 1997. I wore an old floral yellow dress, a beige head wrap and probably still carried a lunchbox purse. This confused a lot of people but my style still slayed everyone. I was too afraid to answer the phones, so I didn't. I am certain they all found this very annoying but remained gracious and welcoming. It was scary! I was 15 and just couldn't get hip to the concept of transferring a call. Plus, duh of course I was totally scared I'd accidentally hang up on a Beastie Boy. So I mostly opened revealing fan mail in exchange for records and fun promo trinkets. The vinyl came in different colors like translucent pink, white and black. Some didn't even have labels on them. Those made me feel the most special, like I had been given some secret gem. I had been! How lucky was I? Very. I remember the celebratory screaming in the office when HELLO NASTY played on the radio for the first time. I drove a small red car, eventually. That came my 16th year, also the year I discovered Rally's french fries. It was nice to be the youngest one. I wish I could have enjoyed that more. If you are under 25 or any age at all for that matter: ENJOY IT MORE! Let us all try our mightiest to do this! It is so important! What a wonderful time spent with some of the most talented musicians and hard as hell workers behind them. Ugh! This inexplicable journey.

This issue became increasingly difficult to connect with. During the process of trying to reconnect with it, others and myself, I felt profoundly disconnected. In the midst of this disconnect something broke open: androgynous technology, or phenomena that come after the hyperreality of the simulacrum has been established. It is the idea that technology contributes to a hyperreal, exaggerated self and sexuality or a dulled abstraction thereof. Both lead us to resemble machines. Consumerism and plastic surgery can create what American culture considers the epitome of femininity, masculinity or, what I am most interested in: neither. Androgynous technology enables us to become exaggerated versions of ourselves or muted, sexless and inanimate. Beauty procedures can anatomically take out as much as they can put in. Either way the self is increased or decreased dramatically from its original biological form, at the hands of medical and technological advances. The desire for androgyny and nostalgia (remember those good ole' days when you were young?) has reached an all time high. This is why there is a worldwide obsession with adults imitating child pornography in fashion magazines.
Hyperreality, where simulacra live, tricks consciousness into detaching from any real emotional engagement, instead opting for artificial simulation, and endless reproductions of fundamentally empty appearance. Fulfillment is found through simulation and imitation of a transient simulacrum of reality, rather than any interaction with any true reality.
Simulacrum has many variations depending on whom you study (Plato, Jean Baudrillard, Gilles Deleuze, Nietzsche even addressed the idea in Twilight of the Idols but does not name it). I will say in layman's terms how I perceive it: a representation of something original; a direct copy of the real. The hyperreality is where the copy lives and my thought is that androgynous technology then takes this replica and either neutralizes or heightens it, sans organically distinctive features until our basic mode of existing completely resembles that of a machine.
What is a machine? Androgynous and without sex: androgynous technology.
In its traditional definition androgyny means being neither distinguishably masculine nor feminine. Technology is the making, usage, and knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, crafts, systems or methods of organization in order to solve a problem or perform a specific function. It can also refer to the collection of such tools, machinery, and procedures.
Technology synthesizes direct human interaction until it becomes simulacra. It may bring someone in New York visually closer to someone in Japan via computer or phone but then it replaces direct contact one would have otherwise had with their next door neighbor, say through a white picket fence. Androgynous technology is the mechanism by which human interaction, perception, communication and sexuality melt and distort. Again, it is working with the copy and the world that exists therein.
The theme which resonated most with me this past month, and I am not exactly sure how this all fits together but I am certain it does, was loss. Many of us can attest to either having witnessed or experienced incredible loss these last few months. Some has been physical and some symbolic. While I do not overtly address these losses here or in this issue, I feel the subject itself is important to share. Relinquishing can be just as significant, if not more so, as receiving but when it is unexpected and experienced without choice, it can feel as though one's entire being is submerged in sub-zero water.

Sad and a little confused, help!
Okay, I know I am only on CD 25 (I ovulate at CD10-12) and got my BFP and am just a tad bit super excited… I called to schedule to go in for a pregnancy test at my OB and they won't see me until I am a week late, Totally Understand…. But then the nurse went on to tell me that even if I tested positive with a FRER yesterday (CD24) that I could be having a chemical pregnancy and still start my period on Friday. WHO SAYS THAT? I am so bummed. She said they don't like those tests because they aren't accurate and when people take them they measure the hormone when the sperm and egg meet up, not when it implants? Then when they start their period on time women claim they miscarried. Hmmm…. I know I need to be realistic but my day is totally ruined and I'm sad. I'm sorry for complaining. I would love any advice or feedback! <3

Recently, it has been made known that the maker of our feline rabies vaccine, Merial, has discovered an impurity in their rabies vaccine. None of the product that has been sent to NVC has been affected. Merial has decided to suspend production of the PureVax Feline Rabies while they search for and remedy the cause. They hope to resume production late summer. At this time, we are unable to order more PureVax Feline Rabies.
The doctors at NVC made the decision years ago to use the PureVax Rabies in our feline friends because it is a nonadjuvanted vaccine. Adjuvants are products that are added to vaccines to enhance the immune system's response. In recent years, studies have shown vaccines that contain adjuvant may cause a type of cancer called feline injection site sarcoma. This is a very aggressive cancer that is difficult to cure and to manage. Current studies suggest the risk of sarcomas is 1/10,000 doses of vaccine. The development of feline injection site sarcoma is a complicated cascade of events and adjuvants are a small piece of the puzzle.
At this point, we are unable to order PureVax Feline Rabies vaccine. This puts us as pet owners and veterinarians between a rock and a hard place. Because rabies is a deadly, zoonotic disease, Pennsylvania law requires that all cats and dogs be vaccinated for this disease. Zoonotic diseases are diseases that humans and animals share. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is aware of the shortage and that some veterinarians and cat owners who choose to use the PureVax product exclusively may not want to vaccinate with a different rabies vaccine during the back order. However, if your cat is due for a rabies vaccine during this period and you choose not to vaccinate due to the lack of availability of the vaccine, your cat is still legally unvaccinated. You, as an owner, could be cited and your cat may be placed under 6 month quarantine if it were exposed to rabies. If someone was bitten by the legally unvaccinated cat, there may be additional legal concerns.
In order to serve our clients and patients, we will halt sending out rabies vaccine reminders until the PureVax Feline Rabies is released. We will be sending reminders for your cat's annual wellness exam and distemper vaccine (if it is due). If you receive one of these reminders, please schedule an appointment with one of our veterinarians so that we have the opportunity to perform your cat's wellness exam to ensure your pet is healthy or to detect subtle changes that may indicate disease. Once the vaccine is available, we will resume your rabies reminders so that you may vaccinate your cat. There will not be an additional exam charge for this visit.
Please feel free to call our veterinarians to discuss your options in more detail. We apologize for any inconvenience. We regret that you have to consider vaccination with an inferior product. We strive to provide you and your feline family member with the highest level of care.

My name is Kelly and I have been a member of the Neffsville Veterinary Clinic team since September of 2000. I have witnessed several microchip success stories in our clinic. Quite frequently, someone will bring a lost pet into our clinic. Upon arrival, we scan the pet for a microchip and the pet is reunited with their owners within a short period of time.
In July of 2011 our kids found a little orange kitten. Our son decided to name the kitten "Woody Walnut". Woody was a great addition to our family. I brought Woody into the clinic to be vaccinated and eventually neutered, front declawed, and micro-chipped.
In July of 2012, Woody slipped out our front door and ran away. For months we searched our neighborhood for him. We hung posters, contacted the Humane League, and contacted HomeAgain—the microchip company. We had no luck finding him…our kids were devastated.
As months went by, we did not think we were ever going to see Woody again. We gave up searching.
In December of 2013, I received a call from Lititz Veterinary Clinic. They asked if I was missing an orange cat. They told me someone had found him and brought him there for an examination. The staff at Lititz Veterinary Clinic found that he had a microchip and contacted the HomeAgain Microchip Company. HomeAgain gave them our information immediately. We were shocked! We picked Woody up and brought him right into Neffsville Veterinary Clinic where Dr. Hockenberry examined him and determined that other than having some tartar on his teeth, fleas, and intestinal parasites (worms)– he was in good shape!
Our kids were so excited!! We are not exactly sure where Woody was the entire 17 months that he was missing, but we are very happy to have him home. We are glad that we had him micro-chipped. We are also grateful to the family who found him, as well as the staff at Lititz Veterinary Clinic.

Dog Licenses…What our Clients Need to Know!!
Last week the State Dog Warden escorted a gentleman into our clinic, had him purchase a license for his dog, and then cited him a $300.00 fine.
Please read the following information to ensure your dog is properly licensed:
• State Dog Wardens are currently performing "License and Rabies Compliance Checks" throughout Lancaster County.
• The wardens are going door to door and also checking boarding facilities.
• All dogs 3 months of age or older must be licensed.
• Dog Licenses must be purchased by January 1st of each year REGARDLESS of when the license was purchased the previous year.
• If you do not have a license for your dog, you will be cited up to $300.00 per dog plus court costs.
• A yearly dog license is only $8.45 ($6.45 for a spayed or neutered dog)…much less expensive than the $300.00 fine plus court costs.
Lifetime Dog Licenses:
• A lifetime license is an excellent way to protect your dog. Lifetime Licenses are available for any dog that is micro-chipped or tattooed. Our clinic offers Home-Again Micro-chipping.

I currently reside in Lancaster with my husband (Brian), my "fluffy" Pembroke Welsh Corgi (Teddy), and a new addition to our family (Felix), a feline rescue.
I have an Associate's degree from Bristol Community College in Fall River, MA which preceded 3 years of serving as a hospice volunteer.
My childhood and early adult years involved a love of art and working with dogs which lead to my interest in dog grooming.
In 2002, I trained and worked under a nationally acclaimed groomer/judge and terrier breeder in Delaware which lead to a full time career as a groomer. In 2006 I opened "Fluffy Puppy", a mobile grooming business in West Chester, PA and operated until 2011. My passion for relationships with both dogs and their owners distinguished my business from others. During that time, I refined my skills with specific breed standards utilizing techniques such as, hand-stripping, clipper vac, hand scissoring and dealing with a dog's unique personality.
I am committed to making your pet look and feel its absolute best and I look forward to meeting you.

It is often said that the way to a dog's heart is through his/her stomach. That may be true, but the combination of a voracious appetite, natural curiosity, and indiscriminate taste can lead to trouble for our canine companions. Plants that are poisonous to dogs can be found in our homes, our yards, and in the wild. Sometimes all it takes is a little bite to lead to an emergency trip to your veterinarian.
1. Grapes
2. Mushrooms
3. Marijuana
4. Lilies
5. Black Walnuts
6. Sago Palm
7. Azalea
8. Castor Bean
9. Daffodils
10. Dieffenbachia (Dumb Cane)
The best way to avoid an emergency situation is simply not to have these plants in your household. Most importantly if your dog is a roamer while outside, always keep him or her leashed to ensure that they are not sticking their noses in places or things they shouldn't be.

The doctors at Neffsville Veterinary Clinic, guided by the recommendations of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) vaccination guidelines, have selected vaccine types, booster intervals, and protocols to ensure the health and safety of your pets. These guidelines however are not immutable, rather each patient is evaluated individually and in some cases the accepted guidelines may not be what is best for your own pet. In other cases the label put on the vaccine by the manufacture may differ from what we are recommending, especially with regard to booster intervals. Any recommendation differing from the vaccine's label claim is based on these AAHA guidelines which have been developed by a "task force of experts in immunology, infectious disease, internal medicine, law, and clinical practice". This blog will introduce you to vaccine types and intervals, serologic testing in lieu of vaccination, adverse events, and legal considerations.
Broadly vaccines can be broken down into two main types: noninfectious and infectious. Noninfectious vaccines are also known as killed, inactivated, or dead. When administered a noninfectious vaccine (as implied) does not infect the host cells. Instead, enough antigen must be present, or an adjuvant added to stimulate the immune response. These noninfectious vaccines are in general safer because the immunizing agent (virus or bacteria) is dead and is not capable of causing infection of its own. Hypersensitivity, or stinging on injection, is more common with these vaccines.
Noninfectious vaccines are available in "multiple dose vials", meaning many vaccines from one bottle. However, NVC does not use these do to a significantly higher risk of contamination due to multiple needle punctures of the lid. At NVC, only single dose vaccine vials are used for safety reasons, consistent with the recommendations of AAHA.
Noninfectious vaccines are administered in two doses. The first dose primes the immune response, and a second dose 3-4 weeks later, provides a long lasting protective response. The exception is rabies vaccine, which requires only one dose administered between 12-16 weeks of age, consistent with Pennsylvania State law. Onset of "full immunity" with noninfectious vaccines generally takes a little longer than infectious vaccines. During the initial vaccine and booster immunity can be expected within 3 weeks. At subsequent annual (or 2 or 3 year) revaccinations the immune response is rapid and robust, taking only hours to days to achieve full protection.
Infectious vaccines, on the other hand, must infect cells of the patient to sufficiently stimulate an immune response. These vaccines are also known as attenuated, avirulent, or modified live vaccines. In order to ensure safety the vaccine organism (ie. distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus) is rendered incapable of causing disease by one of several methods that is far beyond the scope of this blog. These vaccines stimulate a more effective immune response because they result in all the different types of immunity (local, cell-mediated, and antibody production) that a naturally occurring infection would. Because of this robust response a single dose administered to a pet greater than 16 weeks of age is considered to be effective. Onset of immunity is within 7 days of vaccination. Duration of immunity, or length of time that vaccination protects the pet, is longer for infectious vaccines, often necessitating revaccination as infrequently as every three years.
Vaccination of puppies and kittens, as you may have realized, is handled differently than what I have listed above. This is due to the presence of maternally derived antibody (MDA). MDA is obtained by a puppy or kitten through nursing (ingestion of colostrum). MDA protects puppies and kittens from many diseases in the first 8 weeks of life, from thereafter the amount of MDA drops, leaving the newborn susceptible to infection. Vaccination begins at 6-8 weeks as the MDA is expected to be falling. Because vaccine efficacy is decreased in the presence of MDA it is important to revaccinate your pets every 3-4 weeks through 16 weeks of age (exception: rabies vaccine). In this way as protection from MDA declines and eventually disappears, the vaccine-derived protection takes over.
Serology, or blood testing, can be done in select cases in lieu of vaccination. These tests measure the amount of antibody for a specific vaccine that remains in an individual pet's system. According to AAHA vaccination guidelines serology for distemper, parvo, adeno, and rabies virus are useful and acceptable in establishing response to vaccination and duration of immunity. Perhaps, its most appropriate use is in ensuring appropriate puppy vaccination (no MDA interference) and in animals with immune-mediated disease. A medical exemption from rabies vaccination is allowable under new PA state law (PA Senate Bill 155), a veterinarian must sign off. Rabies serology is NOT recommended in lieu of vaccination nor should it be interpreted as providing proof of current vaccination.
Vaccine adverse events are rarely serious, but owners should be warned to observe for: decreased appetite, pain at injection site, lethargy, vomiting, or swelling of the skin or face. In most cases the histaminic response responsible for the signs can be quickly reversed. You should monitor your pet closely (ie. be in the same room) in the hours after vaccination, and report any changes noticed over the next 2-3 days. If your pet has an AE, steps can be taken to minimize and virtually eliminate the chance of an AE at future vaccinations.
As you may now realize, appropriate vaccination series depends on a combination of the host (your pet, presence of MDA, current illness), agent (infectious or noninfectious, parvo, rabies, etc), and environment (previous AE's, owner concerns, state laws).

(Rating is for comprehension, not for content) Kristine desperately needs someone to talk to but she knows that no one must ever find out about her love for a man she can never have. I can't explai...
I am hesitant to write any of this down, plainly out of fear of it falling in to the wrong hands. I did not want to tell you personally for fear of ridicule. As I continued to think of ways to tell you, I gradually lost all my courage.
I wish to tell you of my most secretive and darkest internal debate: I think I am in love. But I am not sure. How can anyone be sure on the matter of love? But this "feeling", if you will, is building up inside of me and I can confide in no one. So this is my outlet, although no one shall ever see this letter.
I shall not disclose his name for both of our reputations' sakes. I am also afraid that if I tell you how I fell in love with this respectable man, that you too shall fall in love with him, without even knowing his name! How mother would laugh!
He and I only talk when society or certain events bring it upon us to converse, and when he speaks, I have a troublesome time of concentrating on what it is that he is saying exactly, because his voice flows like milk and honey or the finest silk. His dazzling blue eyes sparkle every time I take a chance to glance his way. Even when he is talking to me, they have a soft shimmer to them, and I am able to gaze into them longingly without concern towards suspicious peoples.
Every time I glance in his direction, he only has eyes for me. This puzzles me, however, to know that he watches me. It is almost as if he returns my affections, but I know this to be false, for he has made no gesture to court me, or to, at least, show me more attention. But alas, I do not know.
Back to the matter at hand, his elegant hands wave dramatically about as he speaks of something dear to his heart or something that excites him. When he beatifically smiles, it takes the breath out of me! His smile is mesmerizing and perfect. And as he crosses the room-to speak with either his guests or his servants-it is a graceful movement. He struts with an air of confidence-I desperately wish I had-almost as if he thinks highly of himself (though he does not), like an arrogant peacock as he proudly displays his assorted colored feathers.
I am terrified that I have given extensive information. Maybe I should stop here before I reveal too much, or maybe I should just tell you how I think I fell in love. I believe I shall do the latter. Alas, time is precious and I am quickly running out of it. So I shall leave you here. Maybe I will expand on my feelings at a later date, but I doubt that I will, for I feel better now that I have gotten that much off my shoulders.
Farewell to you, for you have listened to a young and troubled heart, of someone you do not know, ramble on about someone you do know. Goodbye and the best of luck to you for tolerating this confession-even though you do not know you have read it.

4.) James Francis
James Francis is one of my all-time favorite Bengals. He was the leader and staple of a Bengals Defense that played in the worst decade in franchise history, the 1990′s. He seems to have been forgotten by today's fan base. He compiled 508 Total Tackles, 33 Sacks, 11 Interceptions, 3 Defensive Touchdowns, and 1 Safety as a Bengal. Unfortunately there isn't much that can be said about Francis thanks to being on so many bad teams. He was overlooked year in and year out when it came to the Pro Bowl even though his numbers mirrored some of the greats during his 9 year Bengals career (Junior Seau 761 Total Tackles, 37.5 sacks, and 10 interceptions / Derrick Thomas 473 Total Tackles, 109.5 Sacks, 4 Defensive Touchdowns, and 1 Safety / Kevin Greene 457 Total Tackles, 101.5 Sacks, 3 Interceptions, 2 Defensive Touchdowns, and 2 Safeties). I look at these stats and think how much better Francis could have been had he been on better teams. The only stat that hurts Francis is the sack. He played in an era when the LB was the sack artist. Today his stats would hold up better.

I was involved in a mob action crime where I was attacked and videoed being attack by 10 girls. I wad hit first then I hit back and was attacked. This was not on school property however they expelled me since I've had a background. What should I do as far as fighting this. I was the victim
Consult and retain an experienced criminal defense attorney ASAP. Each case is unique but this type of case requires an attorney who is knowledgable in the law and aware of the political environment in which the event occurred.
My criminal defense law firm has represented many persons in a similar situation. Detailed preparation and investigation is the key to working towards a successful conclusion in this matter.
It is unclear whether you wish to do something about a criminal charge or the expulsion, or both. If you have a criminal charge against you, then you need a criminal defense attorney. If you are asking about the expulsion, there are attorneys who specialize in charges made by schools against their students. That is a very specialized area of law. I will send a copy of your question to a colleague in CA who doers this kind of work as I know no one locally. If she is able to answer, she might be able to give you further guidance.
Hire an attorney to contest thr expulsion.
Almost all colleges and universities provide a formal administrative appeal process through which students may challenge school disciplinary actions such as expulsion. The process is usually published on the school web-site, or you may get a copy from the Dean's office. You need to read it very carefully and comply exactly with its provisions -- particularly all deadlines and time limits. Any actions which do not meet the time limits can constitute a waiver or forfeiture of your rights to appeal.
Each admin process has its own features but there are some broad commonalities. In most cases, you are entitled to the time and opportunity to retain and consult legal counsel and you should do that. Most schools will not allow the attorney to participate in your appeal hearing (and some will not allow your attorney to attend), but an attorney can give you meaningful assistance in identifying and gathering relevant defense evidence and in raising substantive and procedural objections to the fairness of the process.
In candor, no matter what the formal description and provisions of the administrative appeal process, many colleges and universities disregard or revise the provisions of the process as it suits them, on the justification that only "substantial" fairness is required. Students often find that their "rights" are whatever the school is allowing that day on that case. No one experienced in these kinds of cases would ever argue that these processes are fair or honorable, and they often result in pre-determined rubber-stamp results. Public schools are somewhat more predictable and careful in honoring students' specific rights to a fair process. In private colleges, the school will do what it wants, no matter how unfair or inconsistent with the school's formal rules. Private colleges are fiefdoms, plain and simple.
But the merits and integrity of these processes aside, students must rely on the published process because there is no right to sue in court instead. Even after exhaustion of the admin process, in most cases there will not be a legal basis for suit, and courts will honor the tradition of "hands off" of school affairs to a degree that shocks attorneys in other practice areas.
I have seen school disciplinary cases where the accused was not allowed to attend the hearing; where the student was never given a statement of the alleged misconduct; where the "Student Court" stated that it would not look at the student's defense evidence; where the identity of the accusing person was kept secret, along with the evidence of the accuser's mental instability and widely-known malice toward the expelled student; even where the co-habitant of an accusing complainant was designated as a member of the "Student Panel" to serve on the court that decides the truth of the accusation. The results of the school's lack of respect for any principled or ethical fact-finding process are often tragic and life-changing for the victim.
Based on the facts that you have stated here, it is baffling why you were expelled. Perhaps the video appears to depict a different version of your conduct?
In all events, you should consult with a specifically-experienced attorney in your area, perhaps one who is well-known to the college and active in its alumni or fund-raising affairs.
I wish you a good result.

What a blizzardy week! Who else is craving soup right now? But not just any soup -- something a little spicy. I love all the smoky, spicy, and tart flavors in tortilla soup. And I love all the textures, especially the crunchy tortilla chips with the creamy avocado. Chilies and chicken broth are just what the doctor ordered to keep those winter colds away.
This recipe calls for a whole, dried pasilla chile. You can find these at specialty Mexican markets or in the ethnic foods section of your grocery store. If pasilla isn't available, just about any other dried chile will work, like ancho. For a vegetarian version, use vegetable stock and tofu instead of chicken stock and cubed chicken. Now have a toasty, tasty weekend!
Classic Tortilla Soup With All the Trimmings, by Rick Bayless for Cooking Channel
*Can be found at Mexican specialty markets.

I make this soup too, but with simpler ingrediets. And no avocado, my hubby would never let an avocado pass through his lips, lol.
Sounds good!
And what is a Mexocan tea sprig? Is it truly some type of tea? Never heard of it.
This sounds like a comforting soup to have in cold, windy, weather. :)
Sounds good! We made something simliar last night in the crock pot (without pasilla), and it was great. We made our own tortilla strips too.
Not something I would eat.
sounds really really good!
Sounds delicious!

A Basic Guide to Well-Known Autism Therapies
Interventions to consider for kids with autism spectrum disorders
DIR/ Floortime
What It Is
This approach is one of several developmental models of autism services. DIR stands for the Developmental, Individual Differences, Relationship-based approach. It focuses on the emotional development of the child, what its founders describe as entering the child's world and taking into account "the child's feelings, relationships with caregivers, developmental level, and individual differences in a child's ability to process and respond to sensory information." The approach works with children to develop communication skills, thinking and learning abilities, body awareness, attention skills, and social and emotional functioning.
Floortime is an approach to implementing DIR that means interacting with a child at his current developmental level in a way that emphasizes taking advantage of a child's interests in a certain kind of toy, for example, to engage him so he learns skills like playing, sharing, counting, and using words.
How It Works
The Floortime philosophy creates chances for a child to learn through intensive one-on-one sessions. Parents are key players in the approach, creating learning experiences for their children. Speech therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists and others working one-on-one with the child use Floortime techniques to help her develop skills. The developers of Floortime note that a clinician may prescribe a number of 20-minute Floortime sessions per day as part of a treatment program, and add: "Floortime provides a framework that can guide various daily interactions with children; bathing, playground time, meals, etc."
Important to Know
DIR/Floortime was developed by Dr. Stanley Greenspan, a professor of psychiatry and pediatrics at George Washington University Medical School, and Serena Wieder, a clinical psychologist. The approach's stated goal "is to help the child master the healthy emotional milestones that were missed in his early development and that are critical to learning. Building these foundations helps children overcome their symptoms more effectively than simply trying to change the symptoms alone." So far, notes the American Academy of Pediatrics, there is only anecdotal evidence of DIR/Floortime showing its efficacy as an autism treatment.

Workstreams: Older Adults
The Meriden Programme Older Adults Special Interest Group
The group was set up in November 2005 in order to explore the experiences of people who have relatives in contact with older adults mental health services. It is recognised that there are specific issues relating to this group of people and that there is work to be done to try to ensure that they receive the services they require to be effectively supported and involved.
The special interest group is open to anyone with an interest in this area and has been attended by clinicians from across the West Midlands, staff from Universities, staff from voluntary agencies and carers.
The group's aims are to explore good practice in this area and to develop the use of family work in older adults' services. Through the work of the group, it was anticipated that training requirements would be identified. Clinicians have used the BFT model of family work across the West Midlands, though there was a belief that there were specific factors that needed to be taken into account when working in older adults services. This was particularly the case with a diagnosis of dementia.
