This piece pin points many of the problems with the NYC Dept of Ed's stadardized-test-only admissions process for its "Specialized" (read: focus on either mathematics, science, or arts) schools (all except LaGuardia, which obviously requires an auditioning process).
I loved this article. Pointed out exactly why only letting kids into a school based purely on test scores is a certified way to exclude students that would perform on par or even above and beyond.
The stupidity of using Hedge Funds and other massive investment vehicles to grow capital you operate off.
Really though, these investment vehicles move so slowly to significant market turmoil it seems. And many times prone to generate less gains over extended time periods than simple bond portfolios would have (considering fees after).
And my scholarship money is riding on this!?
This shit just got real.
And why does no one in the United States understand how Affirmative Action works, or its justifying context?

Rantings (and hopefully insight) of a student of social science.

In pursuit of an MBA, what's supposed to be the beginning of the loss of my social life and possibly my sanity for the next two years.
Ah well, lets make the most out of it.
The Welfare Myth
Statistics about the welfare drug test system in Florida recently came out. Turns out only 2.6% of welfare users were caught with any type of drugs in their system. If this asserts anything, it's that the idea that welfare users are more prone to drug addiction than the general population is entirely wrong. The idea that we need to police them more than the general population with drug testing is also wrong.
Maybe even more universally sickening than any of this is that tax payer money, yes almost $120,000 of it, went towards this program. It saved the state less than $100,000. More precisely, it saved the state $72,360 in welfare fraud. Yes, the math is correct: drug testing welfare recipients to find ways to save funding by withdrawing assistance actually cost the state of Florida more than allowing these recipients to continue to be on the program.
Not to mention a good amount of non-violent drug users were just booted off a program they desperately needed.

There seemed to be some typos in this article. Mind Freeze says it costs a frost rune, not runic power. Death pact works like a HEALTH potion, not mana (you may have been thinking of the WC3 Lich and the WoW warlock ability, Dark Pact).
I'll also point out that Mark of Blood has been changed 3 times in the alpha and beta so far, and we cannot expect it to keep its current form. Initially it allowed allies to be healed whenever an ENEMY was healed. The current effect is better for PVP considering death knights are good anti-healers, but probably worse for PVE (when putting mark on an ally would let all people in the raid get healed).

For the prettiest appearance, use red, yellow, and orange bell peppers. If you can't find baby bell peppers, use julienne strips of regular bell pepper.
Cooking Light DECEMBER 2011
1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Unfold dough; place on a work surface lightly dusted with flour. Roll gently into a 10 x 9inch rectangle. Cut dough into 20 (2 1/4 x 2inch) rectangles. Score each rectangle about 1/8-inch from edge. Prick each dough piece liberally with a fork. Arrange dough pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; chill 10 minutes.
3. Combine cheese, mayonnaise, and garlic, stirring well. Spread a scant 1/2 teaspoon cheese mixture over each dough piece. Top each tartlet with about 2 tomato slices and 2 bell pepper rings. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until dough is lightly browned. Remove from oven, and sprinkle evenly with thyme.
Wine Match: A smooth, light-tannin red like Michele Chiarlo, Barbera d'Asti "Le Orme," Italy ($14) has vibrant fruit and tangy acidity that easily handles the rich Parmigiano-Reggiano and allows the sweet tomatoes and peppers to shine. —Scott Jones

In February 2009, Gas Industry Co issued the Transmission Pipeline Interconnection Guidelines (the Guidelines). The Guidelines set out its view on the features of good interconnection practice.
The objectives of the Guidelines are to:
- describe what a TSO's interconnection policy should address;
- describe the phases of interconnection, what should happen in each phase, and the key decision points;
- establish principles that should apply to the overall provision of an interconnection service, and to each phase of interconnection;
- encourage TSOs to adopt consistent interconnection documentation;
- establish clear responsibilities; and
- minimise barriers to entry by promoting transparency and efficiency.
Guidelines on Interconnection with Transmission Pipelines (February 2009) [2]
Updated Guidelines
In September 2009, a review was conducted on the interconnection arrangements of both MDL and Vector against the Guidelines. As a result of the review and discussions held with the TSOs, some amendments to the Guidelines were considered necessary. These amendments and the reasons for them are noted in the table below.
Guidelines on Interconnection with Transmission Pipelines (November 2009) [3]
Amendments to Guidelines on Interconnection with Transmission Pipelines
3.2 Interconnection Policy
Each TSO should publish an interconnection policy that includes:
'the TSO's general policies relating to interconnection matters;'
An overarching interconnection policy would provide greater clarity to an interconnecting party (IP). A policy would provide a clear process for both parties in respect of information requirements, timelines, and responsibilities. It would also provide the principles for issues such as the near-by existing interconnection points.
5.2 Equipment Responsibilities
The TSO and IP should agree the ownership and demarcation points of the interconnection equipment. In particular, they need to consider who will own TSO specified assets (noting that regardless of ownership, all TSO specified assetsshould be designed, constructed, operated, maintained and tested in accordance with the TSO's standards).
For a delivery interconnection point (see Figure 3):
· ownership of the equipment downstream of the primary isolation valve should be agreed between the parties. The TSO should not be obliged to own or provide this equipment. The TSO should give the IP an option to own this equipment permanently, or to transfer ownership to the TSO once constructed; and…
The objective of the Guidelines is to provide flexibility to an IP in respect of ownership and the means of cost recovery. By allowing an IP to own the station, it can choose how it funds the capital expenditure and be assured of a competitive cost.
As MDL does not fully address the requirements of a delivery interconnection, an interconnection policy should provide guidance in respect of delivery point interconnections. The delivery interconnection point is amended so that an interconnecting party (or a third party appointed by the IP) can construct the station and then transfer ownership to the TSO, enabling the IP a similar degree of financing flexibility.
Appendix A Documentation
Interconnection Policy
An interconnection policy should include:
Relevant policies and standards:
h) general policies relating to interconnection matters, including:
I the use of existing interconnection points;
ii equipment ownership and ownership transfer; and
iii other relevant policy matters;
i) links to other policies and technical standards relevant to interconnection, including:
i pricing policy;
ii list of TSO-specified assets; and
iii technical standards;
Technical review principles:
l) a description of the process and principles that will be used to assess the technical acceptability of an interconnection application.
Neither has a specific interconnection policy; however, many aspects of the policy are addressed by each TSO in various documents. An overarching interconnection policy would provide greater clarity to an interconnecting party (IP). A policy would provide a clear process for both parties in respect of information requirements, timelines, and responsibilities.

as were all of her supporters. Insulted right to the faces. I wrote of the feminist purge within the democratic party. They all went rightward and more into the arms of big business. Feminists are small business owners, by and large. The lefty democrats are like ted kennedy, moral cowards when the rubber meets the road, or slides across that road and crashes into the water.

"but I do not agree that Israel should be totally destroyed."
As an anarchist, I think that ALL nation-states should be destoyed, including the global elite. You're not such a radical afterall Roseanne, are ya. You need to learn how to truly think OUTSIDE the box. Your arrogance is slowing you down I'm afraid.
Also Roseanne, with your "reply" to me (in the 3rd person), you failed to address the points that I raised. You really do have some growing up to do, as many of us do as well. But your immaturity shows forth on all sides. And I'm quite sure that many other feminists would agree after reading your ignorance.
well, we all need to get together and look at things in a different way these days, I think–we need to get results and find solutions, and not just do the same old same old, or think the old fashioned ways that brought us to this point.
Im am the high priestesss worshipperrr
P.s. the only thing I'm intimidated by roseanne for is her experience her travels and her wisdom.
I bow down to these thingss
Dearest occulist
I love women women that take control of their bodies and arnt subservient to men
Ive been told i should have bbeen born a woman yess that is true.
IM sorry i would say no i dont hate women
It's just hard to find women who r worthy of any respectt.
poppn out kids to trap a man esp when u cant afford those kids is ludicrus to me.
but they do it ovr and ovr
WHen wil some women wake up and own their power
stop wishn for some fairy tale knight to make it all better.
I certainly love women. WOmen who r strong and in chargee.
I guess maybe im just tired of waiting for women to grow up.
but thanks for your concern and i will reflect on thatt
Dear Witch Hunter Timothy
I am so sorry for you for not being born a woman. It must be difficult in pretending to live your life acting as one. You think woman are stupid, unworthy and that every woman that has crossed your path should have been burnt at the stake.
But it is time to wake up Timothy and start to educate yourself what a woman is and her role on this planet. A good start would be to realize that women exist. Instead of jumping in at the deep end and end up bashing them to pulp because of your confusion, which ends up with you hating women and be it hating yourself, because you were not born a woman. There is no point in crying over spilt milk.
You Timothy, yes you Timothy do not respect women. So, the next time you go shopping say in Walmart or sitting with your tail between your legs on a bus find a woman and look into her eyes and say these simple words:
"I respect you"
Thank you for taking time in reading this for you are a torn and gentle soul. A small tip, never ever underestimate the power that women holds. And another shortened tip. Woman are smart in more ways than one.
You know Timothy it is such a beautiful day here and nature is calling and I am calling nature, so I will take this opportunity to go for a walk.
Enjoy your day too Timothy.
Plus I've been doin some reading
It sounds like HIlary is on the take.
JUst anothr schill acceptn bribes and handouts.
At least in her early career campaining and all.
Roseanne dont you see/hear these things??
i dont know i guess im a lil intimidated by you Roseanne.
but i feel
I liked hilary at one point i mean i wasnt in love w her but i felt she was harmless
To me now it seems shes a warhawk and just spouting what the boys tell her to.
Almost like she doesnt have a mind of her own anymore.
Whats with givn pakistan money? Also what was the with the honduras coup? She has been little help as secretary of state if u ask me.
JUst playn the rich mans game.
Hilary in my view has lost any voice she may have had.
her and her healthcare vision way back when never came to fruition and i wonder if being elected prez would've changed anything.
seems she knows when to slip into the Im just a woman ACT.
BUt i am definately not in the know of what her angle is.
Anyway hilary gives me the creeps. esp with her turn about.
she like a fembot!! is that a patriarical thing to say lol
the deal about casting themselves into a world as opposing females, reminds me of the book the' great cosmic mother, rediscovering the religion of the earth' , where she talks about how in the womb, everybody is female for the first eight weeks , from then on , its a hormonal battle for the male fetus to remain male, she goes on to say , for all we know the near east myths upon which our western mythologies are built, those which portray the young god or hero battling against a female dragon , have some analog here, in utero, where the male fetus wages a kind of chemical war against rebecoming female.
just sayin
i voted for cynthia, but I do not agree that Israel should be totally destroyed.
it's another male who thinks he can insult and belittle women who are smarter than he is…he will use terms like "sweetie" etc. and suggest that smart women do not see the truth of how things really work. Here's how they work: everything men say is largely irrelevant to the world I see and live in. They cannot listen to women because something is actually wrong with them. They lack empathy for and consciousness of women, and cannot see how patriarchy works, because they all profit from being part of it. the only way they (men–straight and gay and christian jew muslim and pagan) can cast themselves into the world is as opposing females. they are largely a bore, and will bore women to death if given half a chance to do so.
What is a "gay male Pagan feminist"?
p.s. I'm not sure what Cynthia's opinions are of Israel, but I can say that Hillary is as pro-Zionist as that little shit Lieberman. What you need to do Roseanne is stop supporting ALL politicians who are Democrats and Republicans. When you've completely abandoned the 2-party system forever then you'll be on your way toward understanding American politics (which is totally rigged all the way to the top…including your queen Hillary, I'm afraid).
McKinney all the way!
Uh Roseanne? I'm a gay male Pagan feminist. I voted for Cynthia McKinney in 2008. Which personality were you addressing me with sweetie? Unless Ms. McKinney is really a man I don't see how you can call me a patriarch. And as long as you're STILL using labels like "leftwing" and "rightwing" in today's world, it looks as though you still have a long way to go on the road of discovery, although compared to most Americans…you're doing well. Now, hit the books my lovely idol!
palin will probably win the white house if hillary doesnt run against her—Obama has only a small amount of wiggle room, to be fair…rahm is an idiot.
Cynthia wants a total dismantling of the state of israel, and I do not.
Why is she wrong when she talks about Isreal..you have said the same things about isreal as well..
I sure wish Hillary had been elected had not Oprah had the hots for Obama. We'd still have our amazing world renown American mustangs roaming public lands, grey wolves and our Gulf of Mexico wouldn't be the massive toxic waste dump it now is. We could have worked to get out of that faux illegal war to steal Iraqs oil, closed GETMO, allowed basic human civil rights to all Americans, not just hetero ones.(or opposite sex ones, in case Mrs California is passing through). All the "change" he promised and never came through on. Run for president! I'd vote for you in a second. Just promise me you will behead palin and send her to a cheap taxidermist. Her head should be on a cheap paneled wall in the White houses basement den for all time.
I love Cynthia Mckinney and most of her ideas, which is why she is my friend and why I support and vote for her, but she is wrong when she talks about Israel.
the left looks the other way as the Obamites dismantle their very bones and graveyards, shreiking in hysteria, calling for the one woman, the witch, to be burned to atone for the fact that she lived through the malleus malificarum of the american patriarchal burning times.
hello! I NEVER SAID THEY SHARED A COMMON IDEALOGICAL PLATFORM, OK? You have completely missed everything I am saying, everything I mean. I will repeat, and try to read and comprehend: Hillary is the only US politician who listens to working american women. This FACT means nothing at all to the left in america, which is why its an impotent boutique poser movement at this point.
People like you cannot make anything at all happen here, and as long as the most powerful female in the country is your target, you just help Sarah Palin and the right get more and more ensconced in powerful positions.
The left is completely impotent and will remain so until the idea dawns upon them that women make up the majority of the us workforce now, and that Hillary Clinton is viewed by a majority of them as their mouthpiece.
No amount of regurgitation of Axelrod penned lefty misogynistic talking points will ever change OR ADDRESS these facts. Prattle on, patriarchal placeholder.
Compare the voting records of Cynthia McKinney with those of Hillary Clinton and them tell me you still think that they both share a common ideological platform. Jeez Roseanne, get on the boat already and get over your delusion that Hillary Clinton is some kind of female hero of the common people. She is as pro-establishment as a career politician can be. Man, I feel like I'm telling Dan Conner to get over the fact that Darlene won't ever become a real pro-basketball star.

It's the end of Alfonzo Dennard's assault case but just the beginning of the punishment that comes from it.
He showed no emotion as he left the courthouse after receiving his sentence Thursday morning.
He was given 30 days in jail that will start on March 1st of next year. Also 24 months probation and 100 hours of community service.
"Glad he got probation," Dennard's Attorney, Terry Dougherty said. "Disappointed in the jail sentence but we'll see if maybe we can't do something about that at a later time but probation is the appropriate sentencing in a case like this and glad that that happened."
The New England Patriot cornerback was arrested in the early morning hours outside a downtown bar in April of last year just days before the NFL draft.
During his weeklong trial in February, prosecutors say he got into a fight outside the Hr. Lounge with a UNL student, then punched a police officer.
Dennard denied hitting the officer, but did admit to resisting arrest.
In the courtroom on Thursday, Dennard was accompanied by former coach Bo Pelini. He also wrote a letter along with New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick on Dennard's behalf for the judge to consider. Those letters were not read aloud..
Pelini left the courthouse with no comment.
Lancaster County District Court Judge Stephanie Stacy says she included the jail sentence because she didn't want to depreciate the seriousness of assaulting an officer.
Dougherty said he would ask the judge to suspend the jail sentence if Dennard complies with the terms of his probation over the next 11 months. Judge Stacy said she would consider it when the time comes.
Dennard apologized to coaches, Huskers fans, police and his family while in court Thursday morning.
There's no word yet on how this will affect his status with the Patriots.
We attempted to contact the County Attorney for comment but didn't get a call back.

Former Husker Alfonzo Dennard was sentenced for assaulting an officer and resisting arrest.
Dennard was found guilty after a weeklong trial in February. Lancaster County District Court Judge Stephanie Stacy ordered Dennard to serve 2 years probation, 100 hours of community service for assaulting the officer, and 30 days in the Lancaster County jail beginning March 1, 2014.
The New England Patriot cornerback was arrested in the early morning hours of April 21, 2012, just days before the NFL draft.
During the trial in February, prosecutors said Dennard hit another man as the two crossed the street in opposite directions. The incident was witnessed by Lincoln Police officer Ben Kopsa. Kopsa said as he approached Dennard, the former husker punched him. Dennard told jurors he did not intentionally hit the officer.
There's no word yet on how this will affect Dennard's status with the Patriots.

Source: Malibu Times - A local pediatrician set out to the devastated country to provide medical assistance to some of the approximate 194,00 injured by the earthquake that struck two weeks ago.
Malibu resident Dr. Jason B. Litten left for Haiti last week Wednesday as part of the humanitarian organization "Project Haiti Heart's" mission to provide humanitarian and medical assistance to earthquake victims.
By 10 a.m. on the second day after he arrived he had seen 200 patients. By noon, he had resuscitated a 91-year-old man who was pulled from the rubble after being buried nine days. "He's gonna to make it - That's a will to live!" Litten wrote on his Facebook page.
The third day he was there, he saw a six-week-old baby who was found in the rubble, and gave a 12-day-old baby girl-born by C-section "DURING the quake"-her first physical examination. By Saturday afternoon, Litten had seen a total of 574 patients.
And Monday morning, he delivered a baby girl under the most primitive of circumstances.
"Last night was the most horrible and wonderful of my life!" Litten posted on Facebook. "The stories abound ... We'll talk when I return. For now, meet Clara. She was born at 4:17 a.m. in a tent."
Litten is senior medical scientist with Thousand Oaks-based Amgen Incorporated. He is part of a team that went to Haiti for 10 days to provide whatever medical services are required, joining other medical professionals from around the world who are donating their time and expertise to help Haiti after a 7.0 earthquake on Jan. 12 struck the island country, flattening its capital, Port-au-Prince, and causing widespread damage elsewhere.
The Haitian Health Ministry has estimated that 150,000 people have died as a result of the quake. Other organizations put that toll as high as 200,000, with 194,000 injured.
Haiti's infrastructure was already undermined by extreme poverty and political violence for much of its history before the quake hit, leaving the care of its children in even more dire need.
According to CNN.com, there are 300,000 children younger than two years of age who are in need of nutritional support, and 90 percent of Port-au-Prince's schools have been destroyed.
"My goal is to serve in any way I can," Litten stated in a press release by AmeriHealth, a New Jersey insurance company, which is financially sponsoring his mission. "I believe that most physicians would do the same if their obligations allowed them. Fortunately, I'm able to go, for which I feel fortunate."
Litten's brother, Brian J. Litten, is a senior executive with AmeriHealth, which is covering the cost of Litten's airfare and essential materials such as a sleeping bag, insect repellent, mosquito tents and other items.
As Jason B. Litten found time in between taking care of hundreds of patients to take photos and post them along with his updates on Facebook, his family and friends responded with encouragement and praise. "It makes all those years of schooling worth it," his brother Jordan Litten wrote. "Congrats bro. It's so surreal. It's spine chilling. Keep up the good work and come home safe."
The "schooling" that Jason Litten's brother wrote of includes a degree in Applied Economics and Management from Cornell University, a degree in medicine from Emory University School of Medicine, a degree in Pediatric Medicine from the University of Miami, and a fellowship in Pediatric Hematology and Oncology from UT Southwestern.
Litten, 36, will be coming home this Saturday to tell the full story of his experience in helping those suffering from the quake and its some 50 aftershocks that rumble through the devastation.
In his postings, he mentioned the desolation, but also the hope and the help of organizations that have joined the rescue and humanitarian efforts. "It's easy to see the horror in Port-au-Prince these days. You have to look harder to find the beauty. I have found quite a bit in the warm, tireless and passionate people with whom I'm working: NYC EMT, International Medical Relief, Taiwan Root (my team) NorCross, U.S. Army ..."
He also wrote of the immediate results of his work. After helping a young girl, whose picture he posted, he wrote: "A fractured hip, a homemade crutch and a million dollar smile!"

Hi welcome to CA. This is definately the right place to come if you want to try and improve!
Your work isn't too bad, I've seen worse anyway lol! Nice colours, although try and steer away from the plain brightly coloured PhotoShop gradient style backgrounds.
It's good to see that you are focusing on the light source and trying to make the images look three dimentional.
It would be great to see some pencil studies or something as well as the PhotoShopped stuff too.
Take care, ^_^
Well first off to make your stuff not crap is to NOT CALL IT CRAP... there are way to many talented people around here that are so down on themselves... be confident in yourself and always strive to be better... there is a difference from being modest and being down on yourself!
No one likes a huge ego... but dont sound so suicidal! haha your goods arent crap... lets see some traditional media! This is a nice start to a SB!
Would a neutral grey or block colour be better for the backgrounds, then?
Pencil studies? As in, the original sketches for this sort of thing? I think I can find some of those...
[EDIT]: Traditional media? Okay, I'll post some of my pencil renderings. Does it matter if they're A: Tinted in Paintshop Pro and B: A couple years old?
[EDIT2]: Here you go. This stuff isn't for the comic, though. It was for a Half Life 2 mod that never even got the the coding stage - I underestimated the amount of time uni would take up...

I absolutely Love, Love, Love, this spray! The sparkles look so pretty and as Jenniefer said it eventually just falls off your clothes etc.! I put some on today before I went shopping with my husband and he noticed right away and said that is really fun! I am probably going to go back for another can. Just know that some of the sparkles do fall off on the floor when you are spraying I left it on my wood floor because it looks "Magical!" Otherwise, just put down a newspaper when you spray!

Rusty Simmons's post on Golden State Warriors | Latest updates on Sulia
Cincinnati big man Yancy Gates worked out for the Warriors on Saturday. He seemed genuinely sorry about the Xavier brawl. "I learned a lot. I think the brawl helped me grow up a little bit. It taught me how to deal with different situation and adversity. The time I wasn't playing gave me time to sit and reflect on the opportunity I had been blessed with."

Mexico Part 12 Reviews
New locations and bad decisions!
"We're going to Mexico." I announce to Frankie, once we're at the airport. I've never been to Mexico, but I think Frankie might like it. And I've got a job here. I usually try not to go to warm places, but I'll deal with the heat just fine.
"Why?" He asks.
"Because I have a job to do." I shrug. I killed my last job yesterday. I should be fine for a while.
We get off the plane, a good 13 hours later, and I realize I'll need to kill someone, soon.
I rent a sleek black Ducatti, and strap Frankie and my bags to the back of it.
"You got...a motorcycle? That has to be the sexiest thing ever not alive." He mutters the last part. So he goes for biker chicks, does he?
I grin. "We're going to a tourist resort. And well...I thought you might like it." I get on the bike starting it up. By now I think Frankie's realized running would be stupid. I'd find him.
I motion for him to get on behind me, and he does, fluently, like he's done it many times before. Ducatti's are generally meant for 1 person, make shift for two, so he has to wrap his arms around my waist to hold on. Yet another reason to rent a motorcycle. Soon I realize Frankie's closer to me than expected, really only a few layers of cloth separate our skins, as he hugs his arms around me.
Frankie shifts ever so slightly, sending a shiver down my spine. I hope I don't get too distracted. I slowly start speeding the bike, and Frankie hugs onto me tighter, pulling us ever closer, as if trying to suffocate the clothes between us.
"Mr. Way, Mr. Iero." A servant of the 5 star resort says, showing us our room. Rooms, really. There's a huge balcony, three bedrooms each with king sized beds, and two TV rooms. Every room has a Tv, and there's an office, complete with a computer.
There's AC, I realize. Thank God for Air Conditioner. Without it, in my long sleeves and jeans, I would be toasted. Quite literally.
"I'm going out." I tell Frankie, who's already re-dressed in shorts and a T-shirt.
"In that?" He asks, eyes wide and eyebrows all over the place. Is it really that weird to be dresses in boots, skinnies and a long sleeved black shirt in Mexico during the summertime?
Yes. Yes it is.
"Yes. Leave this room and I will kill you. I've had any internet with chat rooms blocked." I inform him.
"I won't be able to go out, but at least I can read fan fiction." He replies sarcastically.
"Don't be silly. Most of those sights you can review or chat on." I reply, leaving without another word.
As soon as the door is shut, I full on run out of the resort, take the bike to a town over so I can kill. I can feel the impatience of my body, and it's not all that pleasant. I need to hurry up.
I quickly find a target- a lone, latino girl. Walking alone down a narrow and unlit pathway between two stores at a mall. I grab her hair from behind, clamping my hand over her mouth, dragging her back into my chest.
I feel adrenaline pump through my body and hers, and pretending to be a vampire, I bite down on her neck. Hard. I can feel her try to scream, break free, but I don't let her go, I can already taste blood in my mouth. She tries to wiggle away to no avail as I bite through her muscle and nerves, tears streaming down her cheeks, blood streaming down her chest.
I throw her to the ground, and I grab her head, slamming it to the ground. I hear a gut wrenching crack and I know she's dead. I can still taste her blood in my mouth.
I lick the blood off my lips, and try to get it off my face with my sleeve. The blood tastes sweet, and has a slightly sickening quality to it, not something I can understand why anyone would want to get used to. It has a disgusting quality that sticks to my tongue, clogging my throat. It almost makes me gag, it's so awful, the way it's warm on my tongue with the gone life force of the girl. The audacity of it as it explores my mouth like water would, like another's tongue would...Frank... I look back at the Latino girl, something known as guilt entering my brain for the first time.
Gerard comes back to our room, an hour after he left, sweaty, with the remenants of something red smeared on his face.
"What's on your face?" I ask. He freezes, eyes wide.
"Erm...Nothing." He says, his face portraying the utmost guilt.
"Fon't lie to me." I say, jumping up from the couch I was lounging on, walking over to him.
"Stop asking me questions, I'd hate to see you cry."
I gawp at him. "You killed someone? I thought you didn't like killing people!" I yells at him, feeling betrayed somehow.
He shrugs. "I'm who I've got to be."
"Don't give me that shit. A cold blooded killer? That's not you! I've held you while you cried! You have emotions, Gerard! Then you go and kill people, like it means nothing, erasing all understanding I have of you!" I yell at him.
"It doesn't mean nothing to me, but I am a cold blood killer. Why should loving my family change anything? Crying in front of you was a mistake!" He yells back, looking more than slightly distraught.
"It doesn't make sense! Nothing about you makes sense!" I yell in frustration.
He looks me over a moment. "You're trying to figure me out, aren't you?" He asks calmly.
"I-yes." I say, surprised by his sudden change in tone.
"Well don't." He frowns, storming into his room and slamming the door.
Frankie has no right to lecture me! He knows nothing about me, about why I kill! Not about my situation, my needs, my desires...
Because you won't tell him. A voice in my head argues.
I can't tell him, he's starting to semi-relax around me. I don't want to scare him with my ugly secrets, sending him running down the halls screaming for help!
He wouldn't do that. He's to logical. He thinks you'd kill him.
Yeah, I suppose that's true. But I've never told anyone why I do what I do. I have no reason to start now.
You're just worried he'll know everything about you and still think you aren't human anyway.
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
Admit it. You don't even believe your actions are justified, and you don't deserve to be around someone so perfect.
mY brain is probably right. I'm not worthy of Frank. He's so beautiful, so innocent, so trusting. And I'm... I'm dirty, have an ever growing amount of blood on my hands, the farthest thing from innocent imaginable and can't bring myself to share a secret with anyone.
It's despicable, really. I should just die...NO, I can't. I've been down this road before. Even if I die, someone else will be forced to fill my shoes.
I'll just have to live in awe of the beautiful boy I hold unwillingly captive, disappoint him by killing again. And again. And again.

Has there ever been a NFL player suspended who might not even make the roster to serve the suspension?
Either way, that might be the case for New York Giants wide receiver, Brandon Collins, who was suspended four games by the NFL for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
Per NFL.com:
The NFL announced Monday that Brandon Collins has been suspended without pay for the first four games of the 2013 regular season for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse.
Collins will be eligible to return to the Giants' active roster on Monday, September 30. He was an undrafted rookie last year out of Southeastern Louisiana that made some noise in the offseason before spending the year on the team's practice squad.
Collins was hoping to make the Giants' 53-man roster out of camp after being continually praised by offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride but now may struggle to stay with the franchise's practice squad after the suspension.
There has been no word from the Giants on Collins' pending suspension.

I'm talking about another special person - a dear, dear friend who has been listening my weird blabbering for the last two years (well, almost) and with whom I've been writing weird stuff and frozen while watching ski jumping (or not watching, because when you're standing next to a ski jumping hill other things are - for some reason - more interesting than the competition).

The Dinagyang is a religious and cultural festival in Iloilo City, Philippines held on the fourth Sunday of January, or right after the Sinulog In Cebu and the Ati-Atihan in Aklan. It is held both to honor the Santo Niño and to celebrate the arrival on Panay of Malay settlers and the subsequent selling of the island to them by the Atis.
The Ati-Atihan dance competition is one of the highlights of Dinagyang 2013, a religious and cultural festival in Iloilo City honoring the Santo Niño.
Aside from cash, the grand champion will get to represent Dinagyang to national and international festivals, the report said. The 1st runner-up, meanwhile, will get P150,000; 2nd runner-up P125,000; 3rd runner-up P100,000 and the 4th runner-up will bag P75,000.

The most expensive colleges in America -- really
When it comes to higher education, tuition isn't the only price to pay. When all costs are taken into account, these are the 20 priciest schools in the nation.
By Kelley Holland, CNBC
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner.
A dubious one, anyway.
The absolute priciest four-year college education in the country can be had at . . . New York University, according to a new survey.
The analysis by Business Insider ranks the all-in cost of attending college -- not just tuition, but also books, room and board, fees, and late night pizzas.
An earlier analysis, by the Department of Education, ranked NYU 64th among private four-year colleges, but that listing counted just tuition.
Apparently pizza and beer are pricey in New York. Who knew?
College education costs have been rising steadily for years, outpacing inflation.
Between 1982-1983 and 2012-2013, tuition and fees for a private four-year college education rose 167%, and the price tag for a public four-year education climbed 257%, according to the College Board.
NYU is followed closely by Harvey Mudd College, part of California's Claremont Colleges, and Bard College in upstate New York.
The top 20, in descending order of cost for one year, are:
1. New York University, $61,977
2. Harvey Mudd College, $61,760
3. Bard College, $61,446
4. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, $60,779
5. Sarah Lawrence College, $60,656
6. Wesleyan University, $60,214
7. Dartmouth College, $60,201
8. University of Chicago, $60,039
9. Bard College at Simon's Rock, $60,003
10. Trinity College, $59,860
11. Johns Hopkins University, $59,802
12. Fordham University, $59,802
13. Carnegie Mellon University, $59,632
14. University of Southern California, $59,615
15. Occidental College, $59,592
16. Scripps College, $59,570
17. Oberlin College, $59,474
18. Haverford College, $59,446
19. Pitzer College, $59,416
20. Northwestern University, $54,389
Not surprisingly, student loan debt is also a growing problem, particularly now that Congress has allowed interest rates on student loans to double.
Luckily, Fiske has published its list of colleges that offer the best buys in terms of academics and affordability. The flagship public universities on the list, in no particular order, include the University of Florida, the University of Iowa, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, the University of Oregon and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Affordable is relative, however. College Board pegged a moderate budget for the 2012-2013 school year at a public university at more than $22,000, and more than $43,000 for a private institution.
Get your wallet ready.

Guys, I have some news for you. The "beyond" part of Bed, Bath & Beyond does not mean sex. It means, like, kitchen utensils. But one man apparently thought otherwise as he approached a woman in one of the stores in Texas, and suddenly demanded oral sex. Guys, more news. This only works in porno films.
The woman, Kathleen McMillen, says she was browsing the aisles of BBB when she noticed a young man staring at her. Then the man suddenly approached her and said:
Not too surprisingly, Kathleen failed to take the man up on his offer and instead began screaming. Scarier than the man's unwanted proposition was the alleged fact that no one in the store came to her aid, including a clerk who told her he was "busy with another customer." Gee, thanks, buddy!
Kathleen said she finally found a manager who took down her description of the man, but he'd already slipped away from the store. Kathleen is still rattled by the incident, saying:
He could have overtaken me. He could've done something and there was no one. There was absolutely no one, and no one seemed to really care.
Kathleen, we care! Writing about it, ain't I? Anyway, I guess what we have here is either a real jerk or a future (or current) sex offender -- or both. Certainly what no one wants to encounter at any time, let alone while shopping for bed sheets.
Guys like this need to get their act together. It's like those dudes who scream obscenities at you from a moving car. Does that really work? Does any woman ever actually approach their car and say, "Well, sure, I'd love to do you. Thanks for asking!"
I hope this guy's behavior doesn't escalate.
Image via KHOU.com
Lol Vegeta....why does your comment not surprise me?
What ever happened to a good old fashioned smack across the face? If a guy said that to me like he supposedly said it to her, that's what he'd get. Or some snarky remark designed to cut him down to the actual size that he really is. Standing in a store screaming does nothing except project just how helpless some people are.
Really?! She was confronted by a man who demanded oral sex and instead of telling him to f*** off, or something like, 'really...does that line actually work,' or if he had advanced on her, kicking him in the nuts, she instead chose to start screaming?!
Look, I'm not blaming the victim here. But that's because there shouldn't even be a victim here. Maybe it was because I grew up in North Hollywood, but I don't know how many times I was 'demanded' something, from the age of 12 on (I am now 49 so we're talking about the 70's here). I never screamed. I just told them where to go or my favorite line, 'whatever,' while walking away.
My husand grew up in Los Angeles after the age of 13, and he was routinely approached by men (or as he called them back then, the old queers, back when it was okay to say that) who would drive up to him off the street and ask him to suck them off or if they could go down on him.
Come on people - or more precisely, Kiri - no one cared but you do by writing about it?! No one cared because nothing actually happened except some guy got delusions of grandeur. LOL! And yes, he probably did watch too many bad porn movies. He probably has a continual track of the 'chicka wah wah' music going through his head.
And btw, if she was so traumatized by this whole thing, why did she go to the media the same day as the police?
Really? Screaming? I agree with the Bluetooth comment - that sounds more reasonable. But back to the screaming bit... REALLY!!!?? Good lord they've trained the victims well in our nation eh? How about a good "come one step closer & you'll be wearing your testicle for earrings" type comment!?

News: Ikachan Will be Released on 31st January
Nicalis' Ikachan has been confirmed to be arriving in North America on 31st January 2013. The Japanese indie title will cost $4.99 on the 3DS eShop. Originally announced for DSiWare, the game was confirmed for the 3DS eShop late last year.
Information about the game's upcoming release is available on the 3DS eShop, as Nintendo World Report discovered. Ikachan is much like the acclaimed Cave Story, which we absolutely loved.
There's still no word of the European release date, but we're hoping for more information about this soon. Will you be downloading Ikachan?

Local veterans are sharing in their sadness for the loss of their fellow Marines in the Hawthorne tragedy. The Marine Corps League of Las Vegas is planning a memorial service to remember the seven killed and to honor their service.
Norman Honadle has served 38 years in the U.S. Marine Corps, including the front lines of the Vietnam War. While he's seen his share of tragedy, he says loss of life is never easy.
"You feel heartbroken because they're brothers," said Honadle. "It possibly could have been prevented. We don't know until the investigation is over."
Honadle, who is familiar with how mortars operate, said the seven killed take a risk when they sign up for duty, even in training situations.
"They are part of our family," said Honadle. "You know the saying - once a Marine, always a Marine."
Honadle and his comrades spent the day writing sympathy cards to the victim's families to let them know they're not alone. Bill Collier from the Marine Corps League shared his card.
"God give us courage for tomorrow," said Collier. "God comfort you always. Then I wrote Semper Fidelis for all our fallen fellow Marines."
It's a way to help veterans heal at a time when the accident brings back painful memories.
"We are in mourning but also know these things happen," said Dave Jochman, who is from the Marine Corps League. "We all served. We all saw it happen."
During this rough patch, the Marines are staying true to the motto they live by and are remaining faithful to each other.
"God will take care of them," said Honadle. "They are in a happy place."
This Friday, the Marine Corps League is having a public memorial service at 6 p.m. They plan to place seven U.S. flags at a memorial to represent the seven fallen Marines.

Gaelic Storm is an American Celtic band from Santa Monica, California. Their music includes traditional Irish music, Scottish music, and original tunes in both the Celtic and Celtic rock genres. Gaelic Storm's origins can be traced back to 1996, when Patrick Murphy and Steve Wehmeyer joined with Steve Twigger and Uillean piper Brian Walsh to perform at O'Brien's Irish Pub and Restaurant in Santa Monica, California, of which Murphy was the manager. This led to a number of pub performances over the next year. Over its history, the band has replaced its fiddle player a few times, its drummer once, and added Highland, Uilleann, and Deger (electronic) bagpipes to its instrumentation. In 1997, Gae...

For the second year in a row, 10 highly talented musical artists will gather tomorrow night at the UAF Davis Concert hall for the "Fiddle Fest" fundraiser.
The concert will feature fiddlers, guitarists, dancers, and other acoustical performers from Canada, the United States, and here in Fairbanks.
The fundraiser is the idea of Andrew Cox, who says not only does the Fiddle Fest bring together an incredible array of musicians, but it also goes a long way toward providing support for local hospice services within the community.
Andy Co-ordinator for the event says the event has an even bigger purpose.
"The idea there's a whole bunch of reasons for doing so.
One was to bring music to the community, educational opportunities for the kids, to expose them to a variety of different styles.
But also what we want to do with this is salute the efforts of all the volunteers over the years as well as encourage volunteer involvement in hospice.
So this year's proceeds for the concert will go to the volunteer services at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital.

Jack Levin
Randolph-Macon College will host Jack Levin, who will present "Mass Murder and Serial Killing Exposed" on April 23, 2014 at 6 p.m. in the SunTrust Theater, Brock Commons (304 Henry Street). Map and Directions
Serial Killers don't look like the glassy-eyed lunatics depicted in slasher films. Their ability to appear to be "the boy next door" is part of the secret of their success. Yet serial killers share at least two characteristics that, in combination, make them into killing machines: they have an excessive need for power and lack any sense of conscience or human warmth.
Levin is the Brudnick Professor of Sociology and Criminology at Northeastern University in Boston, where he co-directs the Center on Violence and Conflict and teaches courses in the sociology of violence and hate. He has authored or co-authored 30 books and published more than 150 articles in professional journals and newspapers. He appears frequently on national television programs, and he has spoken to a wide variety of community, academic, and professional groups.
This event is sponsored by the Committee on Assemblies and Special Events (CASE) and the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, and is free and open to the public.

Juan Santamaria International Airport (IATA: SJO, ICAO: MROC) is located in Alajuela Province, about 20 km (12 mi) from downtown San Jose, Costa Rica. It is a hub airport for TACA/Lacsa, and focus city airport for Copa Airlines. It is named after Costa Rica's national hero Juan Santamaria, a courageous drummer boy who died in 1856 defending his country against forces led by US-American filibuster William Walker.
The airport, which is Costa Rica's primary international airport, serves a great number of tourists from Canada, Europe and the United States. There are three other international airports in the country, but of those only the Daniel Oduber International Airport in Liberia, Guanacaste is served by major airlines. Currently, Juan Santamaria with 4.1 million passengers, is the second busiest airport in Central America after Tocumen International Airport in Panama.
The airport's main runway allows for operations of large, widebody aircraft. Currently some scheduled flights are operated with Airbus A330 and A340, and Boeing 747 and 767, for both passengers and freight.

Don't sleep here
The area above Madison Square Park in Manhattan is in a condo- building frenzy. Of course all of Manhattan (and Brooklyn and Queens) is in a condo-building frenzy. But above Madison Square Park there is a particularly feverish keenness to the activity, as the glamor of the Flatiron District moves north to a zone that was formerly best known for its gaudy wig and cheap lingerie wholesalers.
The richie rich are buying, and who can blame them? Proximity to Madison Square Park and the chic shops south of 23rd Street makes for an elegance that is almost Parisian—or at least suggests the possibility of such a way of life.
Huge signs affixed to newly rising high-rises and condo converted prewar office buildings trumpet the glory of living here. But there are other signs, as well.
Barely noticed in the builders' gold rush, the poorest poor, pushed off the benches of Madison Square Park, take shelter in the very construction sites that signify their doom. When this building is finished, the rich will sleep here. 'Til then, it's the poor who do so. And what do they dream?
- That there: Stressed About the Rent? You're Not Alone
- This here: Into the Murky Deep
- This here: Faster, Pussycat
- This here: God knocks

A month ago, I ran into a guy passing out religious tracts and such outside a strip mall.
His front tooth was missing.
He told me had had been a crack cocaine dealer and a pimp and lost his family as a result. Next he mentioned the turning point and the recent benefits.
For the first time in years, he's visited with his children.
"Can you put a price tag on that?" I asked.
We both tried to keep from crying visibly.
Maybe some of the folks who find the spray-painted walls comforting, remember their childhood lullaby's or the ones they sang to their own kids and dream of better days.

I have a love affair with NYC. What I like is the diversity of its people. My heart skips a beat when I hop off the GWB @178th. I take the long way in just for the flavor. I can't help thinking that despite how rich Manhattan is they are a bit poorer whithout considering the entire population of that island. BTW I love the pics.

I've been there! In NYC that is, and have done charity outreaches with Heart & Soul on Coney Island to help the homeless. I've traveled to many major cities and the plight is frequently the same. Unless we truly learn to love our neighbor, the root of the matter will never be eradicated. Thanks for the post!
Josh Clark said on 16 November 2007 at 7:43 pm:
Thanks for this post. I kind of wish that some of the people sleeping there could be included in this conversation. Unfortunately, this blogging thing is a privilege. I don't know if you're a religious man, but a wise Jewish sage named Jesus has a story about a rich man tearing down his already big grain houses to build larger ones on top of them, only to die in the process of building. Another wise sage says that "the stomachs of the poor are the blessed storehouses." No matter your "beliefs," I think these words of wisdom are a testimony to the disparaging gap developing where the middle class now stands. We do no good by gentrifying our cities and pushing the poorest of the poor out to the streets and to other neighborhoods. The problem is still a problem no matter how hidden it is from the rich. Thanks for using some of your influence with this post!
Noclegi said on 7 December 2007 at 2:59 pm:
Homelessness is an enormous tragedy. They are often very valuable people who became homeless as a result of the ill-fated situation. Of course there are also people who are homeless by choice. Let us remember that it may happen to each of us therefore let us not be blind to them. Greetings.

As long as one has enough money, everything is all right.
It only remains to hope, that the destiny of the homelessness remains saved to one.

IBM and HP sent your vices-president to him, in order to discuss a strategic alliance, offered to it free hardware and professional consultation and Larry Ellison announced on CNBC, that e-beg works to 95% with ORACLE technology.

Ali said on 26 February 2008 at 8:23 am:
Homeless people do not fit into the picture of a society, for which city centers are re-designed to leisure facilities and window blind landscapes. City centres are considered as visiting card of the cities, which are coined/shaped with priority by the interests of the retail trade, and which wishes itself above all the unimpaired consumption retail trade. This trend can be observed also at many stations, which became after the structural alteration measures of the last years shopping centres with rail connection. Fact is however, that homeless people need the public. Public means also protection from force. Who lives in hiding places, is unprotected.

PORT ST. LUCIE -- From the outside, Richard Simmons is the picture of health, both physical and emotional. However, growing up, Mr. Simmons faced some of the same obstacles that can sometimes push one over the edge.
"I was an overweight kid," Mr. Simmons said. "I was made fun of and bullied growing up. Back when I was a child, there wasn't the same recognition of bullying as there is now. I was judged by my weight and had to face a lot of adverse situations. But, I learned to be positive, focus my energy on the good in people and pray."
Mr. Simmons is bringing his positive attitude, his love for helping others and his sense of humor to the Civic Center next week. He hopes that there will be a big crowd there ready for lots of hugs.
"I want to hug everyone and let everyone know how much they mean to me," an emotional Mr. Simmons said. "I really want everyone to know how important having a positive attitude is to being healthy. A healthy mind leads to a healthy body. I hope when everyone leaves the Senior-Cise, that they go out and spread good feelings to everyone they meet."
Senior-Cise will include a morning of fitness and fun from 9 a.m. to noon. Refreshments will be served at 9 a.m. and a warm-up and demo starts at 10 a.m.
"I hope everyone comes to the event with the want to feel refreshed," Mr. Simmons said. "You wake up, count your blessings, put on your sneakers and move your butt. That's the key to being healthy. You can't just sit around and hope to lose weight. It's really pretty simple. Portions should be less and exercise should be more."
Mr. Simmons has been inspiring others to get healthy for more than 30 years. He is now taking a stand against childhood obesity and is working on a video to get children involved in eating better and exercising more.
"People eat for two reasons," Mr. Simmons said. "First, it's entertaining. It tastes good. But, just because it tastes good doesn't mean it has to be bad for you. Healthy food can be just as delicious. And, second, we tend to shove down our emotions with food. It becomes a comfort. So, we have to find a way to deal with those emotions that doesn't involve eating ourselves to death."
Mr. Simmons' enthusiasm and honest manner has brought him far. He hopes that others will feed off his energy and continue to make healthy choices.
There will also be a meet and greet to share stories with Mr. Simmons, wellness stations, prizes and giveaways.
This event is sponsored by Humana. Admission and parking are free.
The Civic Center is located at 9221 S.E. Civic Center Place, on the southeast corner of U.S. Highway 1 and Walton Road.

While most supermotards that I have ridden before have been lightweight and somewhat easy to get used to in rather short period of time, the Dorsoduro 1200 scared the wits out of me for most part of my first spin astride it within the city. It was only later that I straddled it on the open country roads and onto the curvy b-roads outside of the city limits is when I got a bit used to its hooligan character and the rather lanky stance of the 1200. With a saddle height of 870mm, the Dorsoduro 1200 is not exactly comfortable for stubby riders but more suited to 6-foot tall physiques.Â
So my 5'5-inch frame had a tough time getting accustomed to the tall riding position and I tip-toed most part of my ride in the stop and go traffic conditions within the city and through the countless traffic lights. But once out of the city to play on the winding roads, the Dorsoduro's agility and precision trumped its vulgar display of horsepower. Utterly well-mannered and sure-footed, the Dorsoduro 1200 held the line with precision attacking corners one after another at blitzkrieg speeds without letting out a single hiccup.
