For the past decade, intra-individual variability in reaction times on computerized tasks has become a central focus of cognitive research on Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Numerous studies document increased reaction time variability among children and adults with ADHD, relative to typically developing controls. However, direct comparisons with other disorders with heightened reaction time variability are virtually nonexistent, despite their potential to inform our understanding of the phenomenon. A growing literature examines the sensitivity of reaction time variability to theoretically and clinically relevant manipulations. There is strong evidence that stimulus treatment reduces reaction time variability during a range of cognitive tasks, but the literature is mixed regarding the impact of motivational incentives and variation in stimulus event rate. Most studies of reaction time variability implicitly assume that heightened reaction time variability reflects occasional lapses in attention, and the dominant neurophysiological interpretation suggests this variability is linked to intrusions of task-negative brain network activity during task performance. Work examining the behavioral and neurophysiological correlates of reaction time variability provides some support for these hypotheses, but considerably more work is needed in this area. Finally, because conclusions from each of domains reviewed are limited by the wide range of measures used to measure reaction time variability, this review highlights the need for increased attention to the cognitive and motivational context in which variability is assessed and recommends that future work always supplement macro-level variability indices with metrics that isolate particular components of reaction time variability.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood disorders [1]. Children with ADHD show cognitive impairments in attention, inhibitory control, and working memory compared with typically-developing children [2–4] but no specific cognitive impairment is universal across patients with ADHD. One of the more consistent findings in the ADHD neuropsychology literature is increased reaction time variability (RTV), also known as intra-individual variability, on computerized tasks [5]. Elevated RTV among individuals with ADHD compared with typically-developing children has been documented across multiple studies using a wide variety of computerized tasks, including those assessing working memory [6–8], attention [9], inhibitory control [8, 10–13], and choice discrimination [14]. These ADHD between-group differences on RTV tend to be larger in magnitude than most other neuropsychological indicators [15]. In addition, increased RTV has been documented in both pediatric [16, 17] and adult ADHD samples [18, 19].
Although there is clear evidence that, compared to healthy controls, ADHD is characterized by greater intra-individual RTV during cognitive tasks, ADHD is not alone in this respect. Elevated RTV has been observed in individuals with high functioning autism [20], schizophrenia [21], bipolar disorder with psychotic symptoms [22], traumatic brain injury [23–26], and early stage Alzheimer's dementia [27, 28]. One commonality among these various populations with increased RTV are problems with attention, although there seems to be considerable variability in the types of attentional difficulties across populations (e.g., selective [29, 30], sustained [29], and divided attention [31], and combinations of these).
This consideration of nuances in attentional processes across diagnostic groups raises the question of what specific aspect of attention RTV reflects. In ADHD research, RTV in ADHD is typically interpreted (at least implicitly) as reflecting occasional lapses in attention (i.e., failures of sustained attention that are not severe enough to result in an error of omission) [10, 32, 33]. However, the precise psychological and neurophysiological meaning of RTV in ADHD is continually being debated. Hypotheses emphasizing several factors have been proposed: a temporal processing deficit [34], a deficit in the ability to appropriately modulate very low-frequency fluctuations in neuronal activity [35], inefficiency in the deployment of attention by executive control processes [36], deficit of sustained attention [10, 32], and difficulties with the regulation of energetic state [14, 37–39]. Importantly, these are not mutually exclusive hypotheses. Work that pits alternative hypotheses against 1 another and/or integrates multiple perspectives is an important area for future work on RTV in ADHD. Work that includes a clinical control group would be particularly informative.
This brief consideration of fine-grained models of attention in psychopathology and hypotheses as to the meaning of RTV in ADHD raises the question of whether RTV itself reflects a single construct or process. The vast majority of studies documenting increased RTV in ADHD have used a reaction time standard deviation (RTSD), which is often used because it is easy to compute. Unfortunately, RTSD almost always correlates quite highly (e.g., r=0.90; [17]) with the mean reaction time [18, 40, 41] that 1 cannot distinguish speed and variability limiting the clarity of the psychological or neurophysiological interpretation. For this reason, some advocate using the coefficient of variation (CV), with CV = RTSD/mean reaction time) [40]. However, both RTSD and CV face a second obstacle. They are too molar to provide information regarding specific aspects of the RTV construct, particularly the asymmetrical positive skew that occasional lapses in attention, which would be expected to produce.
For the past decade, the field has slowly begun to move toward more sophisticated metrics of RTV, and that effort has brought new insights. In a seminal study, Leth-Steensen et al. [32] used ex-Gaussian modeling to generate separate measures of the mean (mu) and standard deviation (sigma) of the normal (Gaussian) component of the RT distribution and a measure of variability for the exponential component of the RT distribution (tau). Research using ex-Gaussian parameters has shown that ADHD-related RTV is largely the result of an elevation in tau [10, 13, 32]. Higher tau values are produced by RT distributions with a larger rightward skew or tail, consistent with a lapse of attention framework. Alternative metrics that do not require that ex-Gaussian assumptions have also been developed (for more detail, see Sabol et al. [42] and Spencer et al. [43]), and further work in this area will be critical for developing a consensus of RTV estimation. It should also be noted that 1 study, using ex-Gaussian parameters, reported significant differences, albeit with a small effect size (0.08) between ADHD and control groups in the fast portion of the RT distribution, which was interpreted as reflecting different causal mechanisms for the potentially multidimensional construct of RTV [44].
In addition to RT distribution models, there is good reason to consider the periodicity of long RTs in the frequency domain [9, 13, 35]. Such analysis may help bridge our understanding of the neurophysiological correlates of RTV in ADHD. In particular, the temporal patterns of long RTs may provide us with a better understanding of long RT manifestation. For example, an oscillating pattern of long RTs that manifest periodically at 20 seconds, as reported by Castellanos et al. [35], might indicate the length of attention before attention lapses. Such temporal patterns would be useful in the continued search for the underlying pathophysiology of ADHD-related attentional deficits (e.g., neuroenergetics; for more detail, see Russell et al. [45]). Unfortunately, there have been very few studies that have examined the periodicity of long RTs, and results from these studies have been mixed in regard to the frequency at which long RTs occur [9, 13, 35, 46].
Although the ideal metrics of RTV are not yet clear, it is becoming increasingly clear that relying solely on RTSD or CV is not advisable. However, because the vast majority of previous studies have done this, we include those studies in the remainder of the review, but wherever possible we emphasize studies that included more precise indicators.
The relationship between RTV and ADHD symptoms, as well as whether there are differences between the ADHD subtypes (typically ADHD-Combined Type vs ADHD-Inattentive Type) on RTV parameters, has been the subject of numerous studies. Determining whether there are indeed associations between RTV and specific ADHD-related behavior is important, especially because RTV has been purported to indicate mostly attention-related behavioral and cognitive states in the literature (e.g., attentional lapses, sustained attention). Regarding the differences between ADHD subtypes on RTV in the research conducted to date, there are few, if any, differences in RTV across the ADHD subtypes [13, 47–51]. Only a few exceptions exist, with some reporting greater RTV among children with ADHD-Combined Type compared with ADHD-Inattentive Type on certain tasks [41]. Where relations between RTV and the ADHD symptom domains have been examined, RTV has correlated with measures of behavioral inattention [48, 52, 53] but has also been found to correlate with hyperactivity-impulsivity in a minority of studies (for more detail, see Gomez-Guerrero et al. [54]). In a study examining whether RTV was specifically correlated with individual ADHD symptoms (e.g., short attention span), significant relations were observed between RTV and all 18 ADHD symptoms, suggesting no specificity between RTV and specific ADHD behaviors [55]. Research examining relations between RTV and the ADHD symptom domains or ADHD subtypes has not been convincingly associated with either ADHD symptom domain or any specific ADHD symptoms, although relations between RTV and inattention seem to be more consistent in the literature [48, 52, 53].
Finally, because it appears that RTV is the result of intermittent long RTs, examining behaviors that occur concomitantly or proximally with long RTs might give us some insight into behavioral correlates of RTV. Epstein et al. [33] conducted a study examining whether instances of long RT could be predicted by task events. Children with ADHD demonstrated pronounced slowing (i.e., long RTs) on the trial before an omission error, as well as slowing, although not nearly as pronounced, on trials following an omission error. Thus, long RTs seem to be part of a similar cognitive process that surrounds omission errors. Omission errors occur when a patient does not respond to a target stimulus and has been linked to attentional lapses [56], thus suggesting that long RTs, the primary cause of RTV, are due to inattention. Consistent with this interpretation, Spencer et al. [43] observed that the effect of acute methylphenidate on RTV in a simple choice discrimination task was moderately correlated with the effect of the same medication in being able to reduce omissions on a separate continuous performance task.
Research that would be helpful in investigating behavioral correlates of RTV are studies that examine actual behavior (e.g., visual gaze) during actual instances of long RTs or which relate patterns of observed behavioral attention to RTV (for more detail, see Rapport et al. [57]). For example, during instances of long RTs, are patients disengaged or distracted from the task at hand? Furthermore, rather than examining the 2 ADHD symptom domains, it would be interesting to examine whether sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) accounts for significant variance in predicting RTV, because some of the core characteristics of SCT (e.g., slow movement, day-dreamy) seem related to RT and RTV.
Morphometric neuroimaging studies have examined volumetric correlates of RTV. Among typically developing controls, an association between RTV and reduced white matter volume [58] has been reported. Moreover, several studies have also demonstrated that adults with lesions to the frontal lobes tend to have higher RTV than controls and adults with lesions to other brain areas [59, 60]. Finally, RTV has been associated with a higher proportion of white matter hyperintensities (i.e., small regions of high intensity observed on magnetic resonance imaging) across the frontal regions [61]. These structural studies clearly implicate a frontal lobe pathophysiology for RTV.
In regard to associations with functional activation, studies have examined correlations between RTV during cognitive performance and brain activation, as measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) [36, 62]. A consistent trend has emerged whereby higher RTV correlates with higher levels of frontal activation during tasks [36, 62, 63], specifically, in the middle frontal regions [36], the medial frontal cortex, frontal operculum, lateral and anterior prefrontal cortex [63], and rostral supplementary motor area [62]. It is interesting that individuals with lower RTV tend to display increased activation in motor areas [62], suggesting that reliance on more efficient networks, such as premotor circuitry rather than higher order cognitive networks, reduces RTV. Such correlational studies suggest an overall pattern of higher frontal lobe activation, particularly the rostral supplementary motor area, but do not specifically link instances of long RTs to increased frontal lobe activity. However, using an event-related design, Weissman et al. [64] did examine brain activation around long RTs and found that instances of intermittent long RTs were associated with decreased activity in the frontal cortex prior to stimulus presentation. It is not clear why correlational studies find increased frontal lobe activity correlated with RTV, whereas this event-related study found decreased frontal lobe activity during instances of long RT.
Another intriguing RTV-related functional imaging finding is increased activity in the posterior cingulate, precuneus, and middle temporal gyrus at the time of stimulus presentation during long RT trials [64]. These regions are part of the putative default mode network (DMN), a network of regions activated during rest. The DMN is considered a task negative network because it must be suppressed concomitant with activation in the task positive network (i.e., the neural network required to perform the cognitive task at hand). Brain activation in the DMN is negatively correlated with activation in task positive regions [65–67] and positively correlated with RT fluctuations [68]. Although this literature is still developing, preliminary findings suggest that the inability to sufficiently suppress the DMN leads to inconsistent performance (i.e., increased RTV).
To date, neuroimaging research has linked RTV to both abnormalities in frontal lobe volumes and brain activation, as well as what appears to be insufficient suppression of the DMN. Poor signal-to-noise ratios in neural transmission may explain RTV. Signal-to-noise ratios are affected by an inability to consistently suppress the DMN, which interferes with task positive activation if it remains activated during cognitive performance, [69]. To overcome an active DMN, individuals must allocate more effort to the task positive network, which in the case of executive functioning and/or attentional tasks, involves frontal regions. We therefore observe a correlation between increased activation in these frontal regions and increased RTV.
This signal-to-noise explanation converges with the actual RT patterns we observe in individuals with ADHD. That is, the majority of RTs for both ADHD and non-ADHD populations tend to be within the normal range. However, intermittently dispersed in the RT stream are instances of periodic long RTs. Using a signal-to-noise explanation, these periodic long RT instances may be brief periods of time when signal-to-noise ratios in the brain do not favor task positive networks. That is, either because task-negative networks are temporarily unable to be suppressed or because task-positive networks lose intensity, the signal-to-noise ratio decreases, and the behavioral manifestation of this loss in signal/increase in noise is a long RT.
Because patients with ADHD consistently demonstrate higher levels of RTV than controls, predictions can be made regarding ADHD-related neurophysiological patterns. Specifically, we expect to see indications of neural inefficiencies among individuals with ADHD (i.e., lower signal-to-noise ratios). Such lower signal-to-noise ratios could be related to a lower intensity task-positive network (i.e., low signal) and/or a higher intensity DMN (i.e., high noise).
Regarding DMN, resting-state fMRI provides a measure of task-negative or DMN brain activity. In general, individuals with ADHD display significantly higher resting state activation [70, 71] and reduced DMN homogeneity [72–76]. Children with ADHD have also been shown to be less able to deactivate the DMN than controls, and this inability to deactivate the DMN has been directly related to RTV [77]. The task-negative network among individuals with ADHD is of higher intensity and likely dysfunctional in terms of connectivity. Hence, those with ADHD require additional cognitive effort to suppress the higher intensity, less coordinated DMN activity than those without ADHD.
In terms of task-positive activation among individuals with ADHD, there is a large and expanding ADHD functional imaging literature [78–81]. Although behavioral paradigms vary widely across studies, the vast majority of studies have demonstrated decreased activation during cognitive performance among patients with ADHD compared with controls, especially in the frontal lobes [81]. Also, 1 correlational fMRI study found that higher RTV was associated with decreased activation of the prefrontal cortex in those with ADHD [82]. This trend for decreased frontal task-positive activation is antithetical to what has been found in the RTV neuroscience literature, which was a positive relationship between frontal activation and RTV. One explanation for this set of results is that individuals with ADHD possess dual deficits such that not only do individuals with ADHD have more active task-negative activation at rest, but they also have less task-positive activation during cognitive performance. As a result, task-negative activation overcomes task-positive activation more frequently, which leads to intermittent long RTs and thus higher levels of RTV.
In an effort to better understand increased RTV among patients with ADHD, investigators have varied task parameters to examine what the conditions were that the patients with ADHD evidenced increased RTV. For example, the event rate (ER) or speed at which stimuli appear on the screen has been varied within tasks. Generally, RTV decreases during faster ERs for all children [41, 83, 84]. Most studies report that ADHD-related increases in RTV disappear are attenuated, and often disappear, during faster ERs [39, 83, 85, 86]. Alternatively, long ERs, relative to what is optimal for the task, appear to exacerbate ADHD-related between-group differences [14, 85]. One explanation for this pattern of effects is provided by the state regulation dysfunction model, which suggests that short ERs may increase activation states, whereas long ERs may lead to underactivation (for more detail, see van der Meere et al. [86] and Sergeant [83]). Hence, quickening the pace of the task creates a raised energetic state among children with ADHD, thereby normalizing RTV. This set of results is corroborated by studies that have found that varying the ER on a trial-by-trial basis also seems to reduce ADHD-related increases in RTV [87, 88]. Similar to the argument that speeding the ER increases the energetic state, a variable ER is believed to create a higher state of vigilance, thereby keeping individuals, including those individuals with ADHD "on their toes" while performing the task [89]. Although an explanation using the state regulation dysfunction model is appealing, it is also possible that these effects of ER on RTV effects in ADHD can be explained methodologically (e.g., fast ERs limit RTs [15]) or using other models (e.g., delay aversion [85]).
Researchers have also examined the effects of task contingencies on RTV with mixed results. Some studies have found that ADHD-related increases in RTV are attenuated when rewards for performance are provided [12, 14, 90–92], whereas others have not found this effect of reward [49, 93]. Two studies in the literature have suggested that combining fast ER and reward can synergistically improve RTV [14, 91]. Still another study suggests the effects of reward may be task-specific because reward improved performance only on tasks require inhibition [41].
ERs and rewards are both task manipulations that target the energetic and motivational states of the individuals. Although it is well-documented that speeding the ERs attenuates ADHD-related RTV differences, research on the effects of the reward is quite mixed, possibly because the effects of incentives are not robust or because the magnitude, saliency, or targets of incentives applied has varied considerably across studies. Future studies examining the effects of the reward should pay particular attention to conditions of the reward and should attempt to provide immediate, as opposed to delayed, reinforcement [94]. In addition, it would be informative to tie incentives to the patient's performance on RTV (e.g., maintaining RTs within a specific RT range) rather than accuracy or RT speed. Indeed, preliminary evidence suggests that the strong, immediate rewards for task performance that improve spatial working memory to the same extent as stimulant medication [95] are similarly effective in reinforcing fast, consistent responses in children with ADHD [96].
The effects of stimulant medication (i.e., the most common and effective treatment for ADHD) on RTV has also been examined in multiple studies. In general, ADHD-related increases in RTV are attenuated, and may even normalize, with stimulant medication [35, 41, 43, 97–102]. In a recent investigation of medication effects on RTV, which included a range of cognitive tasks, Epstein et al. [41] found that stimulant medication reduced RTV on a range of cognitive tasks. In addition, results showed the effects of medication were of the largest magnitude and most consistent for RTV indicators, especially ex-Gaussian tau, compared to other performance indicators, such as RT speed and task accuracy. These results suggest that medication specifically reduces intermittent long RTs, which is consistent with other studies showing that medication reduces tau [100] and reduces the peak and skew of RT distributions [43]. Also, most studies using fast Fourier transform (FFT) analyses have demonstrated that stimulant medication attenuated [35] or normalized [103] long RT oscillations in individuals with ADHD compared with controls, although 1 study failed to replicate this effect [104].
In summary, findings from traditional measurements of RTV, as well as those using ex-Gaussian and FFT techniques, show that stimulant medication attenuates between group RTV differences. There is also converging evidence that medication has a more robust effect on RTV compared to other cognitive indicators. Medication effects on ex-Gaussian tau and FFT indicators suggest that medication specifically reduces positive distributional skew likely by decreasing the number, frequency, and/or magnitude of intermittent long RTs. A direction for future research is to examine and compare whether other evidence-based ADHD pharmacological interventions (e.g., atomoxetine, guanfacine) demonstrate a similar pattern of effects on RTV outcomes. Such research has the potential to illustrate possible differential mechanisms of action across ADHD medicines.
RTV is, at the group level, clearly greater among children with ADHD than among typically developing controls. Although RTV is characteristic of ADHD, it also appears to be characteristic of other populations, including autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia, and traumatic brain injury, and has been commonly observed in the aging [105, 106] and dementia [27, 28] populations. Although we conclude that RTV is not necessarily unique to ADHD, future studies examining similarities and differences in patterns of RTV across populations need to retreat from using RTSD, which is potentially confounded by being a measure of central tendency, and use more in-depth and specific methods to characterize RTV. Ex-Gaussian analyses and FFT are 2 such approaches, but fractal analyses [107] or diffusion model approaches [108, 109] may also be useful. It is likely that although increased RTV is present across populations, the characteristics of RTV across populations is likely different. For example, in a study using ex-Gaussian indicators, McAuley et al. [110] demonstrated that older adults differed from young adults on both ex-Gaussian variance indicators, sigma, and tau, suggesting that RTV in older adults is due to both variable responding (sigma) and extreme responding (tau), as opposed to patients with ADHD for whom RTV is composed primarily of extreme responses, tau.
It remains to be seen whether RTV is a cause or a consequence of psychological or physiological processes. At the cognitive level, RTV likely reflects impairments in information processing and, more specifically, a dysfunction related with a failure to maintain attentional control [36]. Neurophysiological data suggest that the neurological basis for RTV is related to frontal lobe dysfunction, and RTV might be a sensitive marker for the efficiency of top-down attention control. Although there is some promising data regarding the neurophysiological basis for RTV in typically developing populations, there are many fewer neuroimaging studies specifically investigating the phenomenon of RTV in ADHD. Thus, additional studies investigating morphometry, structural and functional connectivity, and functional activation patterns in relation to RTV would be helpful. Studies using physiological measures, such as electroencephalograms, electrocardiograms, or electro-oculographic recordings, in conjunction with measuring RTV could also be useful in elucidating the construct it reflects.
It will also be critical to conduct studies that document the relationship between RTV and cognitive and behavioral characteristics that it is hypothesized to reflect in attempting to define what RTV is in relation to ADHD. For example, it would also be helpful to investigate relations between observable behavior and RTV, especially if the 2 could be measured simultaneously, thereby allowing linkages between actual behavior during instances of long RTs, which appears to be the primary cause of RTV for patients with ADHD.
Although there is still a very small literature in regard to treatment effects, the results of several studies are consistent in suggesting that stimulant medication reduces RTV, including narrow-band measures of RTV (i.e., ex-Gaussian tau), which focus on the skew of the RT distribution. Expanding this demonstration of medication effects on RTV to other evidence-based medications would help in understanding the mechanism by which different medications exert their effect in patients with ADHD. The findings for incentive manipulations, an analogue of behavioral treatment, suggest modest impact on RTV in ADHD; however, preliminary evidence suggests that stronger and more immediate incentives may have effects on RTV that are comparable to that of stimulant medication. Finally, there is a burgeoning literature on cognitive training in ADHD [111, 112], and it is possible that cognitive training can also target RTV [113]. Reducing RTV in the laboratory will be an exciting area of study for the next wave of research on variability in ADHD. It will be incumbent on those studies to also document that reductions in RTV on laboratory tasks are also associated with clinical improvement.

Chapter 1 : Feelings
Lately Misaki had been more than frequently pondering what his feelings towards Usami actually were. The thought had lingered around in his mind. He admit to himself that he might, actually sort of like-love him? He was still confused but he was a lot more open around him and resisted a lot less. The fact that he hadn't yet confessed his love to him quite openly was the only pride that Misaki had that still remained, although he'd come close many times, it didn't quite cut it, as followed on was a 'Maybe' or an 'I think'. It annoyed him at how he let him do all these perverted things to him. It annoyed him even more at the fact he enjoyed it. The way he would touch him in all the right places, moan his name in that husky tone of his. He found that his pride was slowly losing, not that it stood a chance in the first place as he was no match for Usami's persistent attitude when it came to sex.
Usami, Misaki and aikawa we're at one of the writers meetings. Usami managed to drag Misaki along with some heavy persuasion from Aikawa. Resting his head in his hand, Usami was bored. So bored that he wasn't even paying attention to what was said anymore. Usami just glared at Misaki. Misaki became self-conscious as he realized Usami staring holes into him and shifted uncomfortably in his seat. He glanced over for a brief moment in fear; fear at the lust filled look in Usami's eyes aimed right at him. He knew he was going to get it later. Usami was going to devour him. Usami sat there imagining all the little things he was going to do to his little Misaki when they got home. A smug grin played around on his lips as he saw the realization in Misaki's eyes; He knew. He would have to be quick when he got in, as Misaki would be racing to get to the safety of his room before his predator captured him.
"Usami!" Yelled a frustrated Aikawa. A lazy noise escaped his lips in reply "Mm?" he said barely turning in her direction. He couldn't be bothered with this. He wanted Misaki, and he wanted him now. "You haven't given any input to this meeting, are you even listening?" She screamed in his face. Thoroughly annoyed, he waved her off and simply said. "Ugh, I'm going home" He paused and yawned as he stood up and stretched. "Come on Misaki" He grabbed Misaki's arm and pulled him with him out the door before he could even protest, slamming the door behind them. The faint screaming of Usami's name still droning through the closed door as they walked along the corridor.
"Usagi-san! Let go of me!" Misaki resisted in Usami's tight grasp managing to snatch his hand free. "What's wrong with you?" Usami backed Misaki up against the wall one hand resting on either side of his head. "Misaki" He said slow, and seductive as he brushed his fingers along his cheek and down to his neck. His mouth was mere inches away from Misaki's his breath stroked his fine lips. He felt Misaki shiver as he pushed his tall frame up against him. It took so much will power for him not to take him right here, but not yet; it was too early. Surprisingly Misaki didn't resist as much as he'd expected. He simply turned his head away with the lightest shade of pink staining his cheeks, and squirmed ever so slightly at the feather light touches Usami was showering him with. His mouth was at his ear "I want you, Misaki" a low husky whisper. Misaki shuddered again involuntarily.
"U-usagi-san" He let out in a breathless gasp as he felt his cold fingers worm their way up his shirt. "N-not here" He managed as he restrained Usami from going any further before pushing him away. Usami was surprised at the younger males sudden words, though grateful at the same time, as he was about to lose himself in his own dark lust for the boy. He just grabbed Misaki's arm gently this time and towed him along; he didn't resist this time.
Soon enough they arrived at the red sports car. Hastily, he got in the car, along with Misaki. Usami found he couldn't help himself when he stole a quick glance at Misaki before starting the engine. He still looked all flustered and his gaze mirrored his. He was so damn cute, and he couldn't resist those lips that were just begging to be met with his own. Taking his hand away from the ignition he snaked his arm around the back of Misaki's neck and pulled him into a passionate kiss. As much as Misaki was thoroughly enjoying it he pulled back and urged Usami to drive. "Demandingly sexy. I like it. Someone is awfully persistent today." He saw Usami Gazing at him with a smirk on those devious lips of his. Still frustrated to admit how he was feeling, he simply looked away and rested his cheek against the cold glassed window hoping for the burning in his cheek to subside. The silence in the car between them was deafening and Misaki couldn't stand it, it only made him all the more nervous. They came up to a set of traffic lights. Usami took advantage of the moment to touch Misaki. His hand snaked it's way over to his leg as he went further following his way to the inside of his thigh.
"Usagi-san" Misaki gasped breaking the silence as he turned that infamous shade of red. "Pay attention to the road" Just as he went to stop him from going any higher up his leg Usami's phone rang. The light turned green and he unwillingly pulled his hand away from its destination. Full attention now on the road he sighed at the annoying ring tone that filled the now silent car. "Misaki, my phone." He began. "It's in my pocket" His voice took on a different tone, one that almost beckoned challenge. Never backing down from a challenge, his pride on the line, he leaned his arm over skimming his right pocket. "Other pocket" Misaki could hear the grin in his voice. He looked up to see Usami smirking down at him. Misaki was rather frustrated at how this was all playing out. He still managed to act perverted even in the midst of a certain situation such as this one. He leant over Usami feeling his leg for his pocket. He felt Usami chuckle. He was quite enjoying the feeling of Misaki touching his legs with that delicate hand of his. He couldn't even begin to imagine what this looked like to those on the outside of the car, he made a mental note to include a scene like this in one of his next BL novels.
Misaki found himself jolted dangerously close against Usami as the car went over a bump. He groaned as he felt Misaki briefly rub against the tight bulge in his trousers. Misaki felt awkward although he thoroughly enjoyed the satisfied expression on Usami's face. Wanting more of a reaction from him he found himself doing something completely out of character as he decided to ignore the ringing of the phone. Before he knew it he found his hands hovering just under the older male's zipper. Usami widened his eyes as he realized what his lover was doing. Surprise overtook his features as he could feel him undo his belt and zipper, snaking his hand down his trousers. "M-Misaki" He moaned as Misaki released his large arousal from his tight trousers. He looked down at Misaki as he gave Usami the most evil smirk he could muster. He took him in his hand and slowly tortured him as he pumped his shaft with his small and delicate fingers. Having difficulty paying attention to the road, Usami was relieved to see that they were almost home. He didn't think he could take this torment for much longer. Soon as they got home he was going to give it to Misaki like he'd never received it before.
Usami gasped when the hand that was on him was replaced with something wet; his tongue. Misaki flicked his tongue along the tip of his length and then took him into his mouth eliciting gasps and moans from Usami which was making Misaki now hard erection, get even harder. The small slurping sounds Misaki made while pleasuring his lover only aided his near completion as he found himself thrusting deeper into the depths of Misaki's wet and warm mouth. Misaki felt the warm liquid squirt out of Usami as it slid down his throat.
"U-uh, I'm gonna-" He moaned one last time together with his release in the mouth of his lover as he rode it out. "Misakiiiiiii!" He felt himself go limp as Misaki released him. He was glad he had managed to park before that otherwise he wouldn't have been able to pay attention to the road at all. Misaki beamed. He was proud of himself for being able to provoke such a response out of the male. When he looked up at Usami he saw his frustrated expression as he did up his zipper. As pleased as he was, he tried to keep on his frustrated expression. He wasn't quite happy about the fact he was driving and it was seriously dangerous, knowing that Usami has a severe lack of control when it comes to physical intimacy whenever it comes to Misaki. Pulling him out of his side of the car he arched him over his shoulder and walked in their house. Now Misaki panicked, he knew Usami was going to make sure that he wouldn't be able to walk in the morning; thank god for the weekend, he thought. Trying to free himself from his grasp he knew it was no use; his fate tonight would indeed be inevitable.

Health & Safety:
The school goes to great lengths to ensure that students feel safe and are treated fairly on campus.
Health & Safety:
It could be better considering the outskirts.
Health & Safety:
Follow the buddy system at night, especially if you're a girl. No excuses. Not that if you were by yourself that something would happen, but just as a precaution. Also just a tip, don't get too tipsy at a party unless you're positive you have a trustworthy buddy with you!!
Health & Safety:
There are sometimes a few minor incidents that occur around campus but campus itself is generally a safe place. However, I would be cautious when walking the outskirts of campus, and it is safer to walk in a group especially at night.
Health & Safety:
I think that people need to be more open minded about sexual assault, but we always have help waiting if anything were to happen.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
The area around the Syracuse campus is not the safest at night. Armed robberies that occur on the outskirts of campus are reported almost bi-weekly. Still, the frequency of these instances is on the decline, as SU takes steps to remedy the situation. Recently, the Public Safety Officers on campus have been converted to "peace officers." Still, if you do not walk alone after dark on a few notorious streets, you should stay unharmed during your four years at school. In other words, just use common sense.
One major note-the city Syracuse displays a strong dissemblance to the campus of Syracuse when discussing safety and security. Although some robberies occur on the outskirts of SU, more serous crimes like shootings, burglaries, and gang activity occur mostly in the inner city. Just don't venture to that part of the city, especially not alone. Despite the fact that Syracuse is surrounded by a fairly rural area of Central New York, it still is a city with high crime rates. Just be careful, but don't get overly stressed.

Astandardter of the type designed for recording sounds within the heart has been successfully used by investigators at the Cleveland Clinic to obtain indirect measurement of the renal artery pulse.
In a first report of an extensive clinical trial of this technique, introduced three years ago, William S. Kiser, MD, told the Third International Congress of Nephrology that pulse variations diagnostic of renal vascular lesions can be obtained by inserting the catheter into the ureter.
In patients with unilateral renal artery stenosis, the "phonorenograms" obtained by this method consistently demonstrated a distinct reduction in the amplitude of the transmitted pulse as compared to the pulse registered on the normal side.As with most renal function tests, however, the technique is of little diagnostic value when both sides are equally involved.In a comparative study of 25 hypertensive patients with renal artery disease, results obtained with the phonocatheter correlated more

Anthony Domestico
Anthony Domestico is an assistant professor of literature at Purchase College, SUNY. His book on poetry and theology in the modernist period is forthcoming from Johns Hopkins University Press.
By this author
'I Want Soul'
In 2009, C. E. Morgan published All the Living, a lonesome, lovely debut novel set on a Kentucky tobacco farm. Morgan knew the landscape well: she grew up just over the border in southern Ohio and attended Berea College, a tuition-free liberal arts college in Madison County, Kentucky.
'One of Those Problematic Believers'
David Means, a recognized master of the short story, is the author of four collections of fiction, most recently The Spot (2010).
National Poetry Month: C. D. Wright
The poet C. D. Wright died unexpectedly on January 12, 2016 at the age of 67. She was a fiercely experimental writer, moving from lyric to prose-poetry to, in her most recent work, "prosimetrical essays" (essays that aren't generally lineated but that do employ many of poetry's other tools: rhythm, repetition, fragmentation, compression).
Wright was also fierce in her moral vision. One Big Self (2007), a visual/textual hybrid created with the photographer Deborah Luster, focused on Louisiana's state prison system. (A sample bit of reported dialogue: "I'm never leaving here.—Grasshopper, in front of the woodshop, posing beside a coffin he built.") In 2011, she published One with Others, a meditation on the Civil Rights Movement as told through the life of Margaret Kaelin McHugh, Wright's mentor, "an autodidact, deeply literary, an outraged citizen, a killingly funny, irresistible human."
In honor of National Poetry Month, I wanted to share some quotations from Wright's most recent book, published a week before her death: The Poet, the Lion, Talking Pictures, El Farolito, a Wedding in St. Roch, the Big Box Store, the Warp in the Mirror, Spring, Midnights, and Fire & All.
Yes, that's the whole title, and it accurately represents the book's omnivorous interests. Wright focuses on poetry, first and foremost, but also on the relation of photography to the written word; on her experiences researching and visiting Louisiana state prisons ("I remember an afternoon at the iron pile at Transylvania watching the men quietly plait each other's hair between sets at the weight bench"); on her loving regard for the late poet Robert Creeley ("In his company I felt poetry's sturdiness and purpose"); on the exhilarating experience of reading Under the Volcano while traveling in Mexico as a penniless undergraduate ("In those days I dreaded coming to the end of a mighty book. It was not so much the story; I just resisted being ejected from the experience.")
As Ben Lerner has written, "Even categorizing [Wright] as uncategorizable is too easy: she was part of a line of mavericks and contrarians who struggled to keep the language particular in times of ever-encroaching standardization." Wright's intellectual and formal restlessness comes through on every page of The Poet. She will be missed—most, of course, by those who knew her (she taught for many years at Brown), but also by those who read her.
While finishing this post, I noticed that Zoey Cole just published a remembrance of Wright on Literary Hub. It's excellent and worth a read. In the meantime, here are some of Wright's words from The Poet ... .
Here she is on nouns:
I like nouns that go up: loft. And ones that sink: mud. I like the ones that peck: chicken. And canter: canter. Those that comfort: flannel and pelt. Cell is an excellent word, in that it sweetly fulfills its assigned sound in a small, thin container. Unlike hull, which is disappointing.
On poetry's relationship to social and political circumstances:
Poets will have to summon a fierceness equal to the current environment. We will have to meet irrational force with savage insight. We will have to bring our own rudimentary technology, our own order, to the common weal. Inasmuch as poetry is the mind's domain, it is the mind's defense. But poets will have to shed some of our mental armor. We will have to channel our loathing toward our elected objections of negation, forgo gentle murmurings (as Adorno says, "There is nothing innocuous left.") Poets will have to stop bemoaning poetry's lost station, while continuing to press its perceptions. That which we cannot speak of we can no longer pass over in silence.
Dodging Satan
My colleague at Purchase College, Kathleen Zamboni McCormick, has published her first novel, Dodging Satan, and it's one that will be of particular interest to Commonweal readers. It tells the story of Bridget Flaherty, an Irish/Italian girl growing up in the greater Boston area, trying to negotiate the various claims upon her identity: her Catholic upbringing, her Irish and Italian heritages, and her emerging sexuality.
The novel's first paragraph sets the tone for what follows:
The Italian and Irish sides of our family can argue about almost anything—the thickness of porridge, how much people can drink before they're officially alcoholics, and which side acts more like "bloody foreigners." But they all agree on the sacredness of the crucifix. An uncle on each side survived an attack in WWII that killed the rest of their platoons—all because they were wearing their crucifixes.
This is a novel filled with arguments, and McCormick is particularly adept at showing how frequently family gatherings—Christmas parties, in particular—can shift from celebration to adjudication, becoming a forum for the airing of past grievances. Bridget's aunts and uncles flit in and out of the novel, serving both as a chorus and as the background against which Bridget must carve out her own sense of self.
A deep part of this self, affecting everything from Bridget's imagination to her sense of physical embodiment, is her being raised Catholic. The novel opens with Bridget's First Communion, and it ends with her taking a Diocesan exam on which this question appears: "Our Lady has blessed children all over the world by appearing to them. Today she has chosen to appear to you alone. Describe, step-by-step, what your words and actions would be with the Blessed Mother." Bridget struggles with her faith throughout, often in comic fashion, in particular trying to figure out how female sexuality fits (or, as she comes to believe, doesn't fit) within the Catholic church.
Dodging Satan manages to be both theological and comical. Indeed, it finds comedy in theology, even and especially when it's taking theology seriously. Take Bridget's thoughts about the Incarnation, how this incursion of the eternal into the temporal might have affected a very human, very young woman: "I mean, you have a baby and it turns out to be God. Where does that leave her? She can't even discipline Him. And talk about on-demand feeding. He's God, for heaven's sake. What He wants, He has to be given."
National Poetry Month: Les Murray's 'Waiting for the Past'
"The Black Beaches" serves as a perfect opening to Les Murray's latest collection of poetry, Waiting for the Past. In it, we see Murray's complete command of form—of rhyme and half-rhyme, of imagery and tone. The poem also reveals one of the collection's major thematic threads: how any single moment of existence is overlaid with many other moments of existence; how, to modify T. S.
Bookmarks | Almost-Madness in Love & Loss
Early in her dazzling new book H Is for Hawk (Grove Press, $26, 320 pp.), the poet and naturalist Helen Macdonald learns that her father has died of a heart attack. A renowned photojournalist, Macdonald's father was a lovely and loving man, and his sudden loss leaves his daughter unmoored. Macdonald begins to read her horoscope with great seriousness.
Best Books of 2015
Book critics often start off their year-end lists by way of apology. It's ridiculous to rank works of art, they say; I haven't read enough to be an authority on the matter; there were too many (or too few) good books written this year; et cetera, et cetera.
'Utopia, Limited'
In Utopia, Limited: Romanticism and Adjustment, Anahid Nersessian quotes from a beautiful passage by William Blake. In it, the Romantic painter and poet discusses what he calls "the bounding line"—the line that marks the limits of things and, in marking these limits, turns chaos into form:
Brett Foster, 1973-2015
It is a sad fact that a writer's death is often what gets us to read him or her in the first place. We put off reading a poet or a novelist, telling ourselves that we'll get to the work eventually, that the next book will be the one we try. And then, only when we know that there won't be a next book, we finally start reading.
Bookmarks | Poetry, Poets & Sacredness
You'd be hard-pressed to name a modern poet more quoted or loved than Philip Larkin. His perfectly cadenced, precisely phrased lines come unbidden to the mind when you think of mortality ("Death is no different whined at than withstood") or life's bitter unfolding ("Life is boredom, then fear"), the potentially poisonous effects of family ("They fuck you up, your mum and dad") or religion's beautiful but—in Larkin's view—false promises ("That vast moth-eaten musical brocade / Created to pretend we never die").

We stayed at this B&B for 4 nights and ate 3 dinners and 1 lunch at the on-site restaurant during our stay even though we had our own transportation. We found the wide selection, high quality, and personal touch too appealing to pass up. The bar service of course didn't hurt and I continue to believe the Mojitos are to die for. The atmosphere is great being very comforting/relaxing with some eclectic tunes playing that you will grin at while you listen. Let's just say it is the kind of tunes you have forgotten about through the years.
I found the prices to be very reasonable for the quality and service you receive. Oh and they change the menu daily so there is always something new to obsess over. We fell in love with the mussels as a starter and the deep fried oreo's for dessert (come on, we were on vacation!).
If your in the Southern Nicoya area give this place a try as I am sure you won't regret it!

Today, I put my plan in action.

I have been working on a plan to get you there at least once, and hopefully more. Today I put...Read On

Debbie was the cougar everyone wanted.
My entire routine had changed as well as my sex life. I had recently moved back from my hiatus out of state so that meant adapting to a different life style as well as a new routine. Not that I cared that things weren't as comfortable as they used to be, I actually embraced it. I'm the kind of guy that likes change, who welcomes change, so that's why it was easier for me to adapt to a...Read On

Camryn gets to explore her need to be taken.
Camryn settled into her cubicle for another routine Thursday. Or at least she thought it would be routine. As she sipped her first cup of coffee, she noticed a small envelope taped to her computer screen. She pulled it off and opened it. "I have been watching you. I know you better than you know yourself. By the end of this day, you will totally belong to me. Today, you will be...Read On

An old flame returns to have his way with the bride on her wedding day....
It's a beautiful day. A cool breeze blows, lessening the warming effects of the shining sun which has already begun its descent into the horizon. The smell of freshly cut grass and fragrant flowers adds to the ambience, creating a soothing environment as the sounds of music begin to fill the air. I lounge back in my seat, relishing the warming sensation that begins to fill my body as I enjoy...Read On

I knew I would never get inside before the presence was upon me.
My heart was racing as I reached the doorway. I could hear the footsteps behind me and feel the presence drawing closer. I know we had planned this, even practiced it, but now I was unsure about going through with this fantasy as my heart pumped faster and faster. I fumbled for my keys and tried to get them in the door. When they slipped from my hand I knew I would never get inside before...Read On

A reluctant stripper, lured by cash, gets plenty more to be reluctant about.
I woke up on my back, with no idea where I was. I felt the heat of the sun on my face before I even opened my eyes, and when I finally did, I wished I hadn't. My head pounded, my nose was both stuffy and runny. My body felt battered without even moving a muscle, and I felt what must be depression for the first time in my life. I was naked and cold, even in the warmth of focused sunlight....Read On

My name is Christine and I'm in love with John, who is thirty years older than me. I'm twenty one and he is fifty one. We recently moved in together and so far it has been great.

A breakdown on the highway leads her on the adventure of a lifetime!
Julie Davis was in trouble. She had left Dallas too late in the day to begin her drive to Phoenix and now, just west of Odessa, her car had broken down. Now miles from nowhere and in a part of the Texas that had nothing but oilfields and rattlesnakes, she was stranded. It was already sweltering and the hottest part of the day was yet to come. Julie had some water with her, but it wouldn't...Read On

Amber is forced to become a slut to save her boyfriend's life.
Amber shivered as she was led into the room. A million things were going through her head. She wondered how many men were in the room with her and what they were thinking. The blindfold prevented her from seeing anything and there was an uneasy silence. She was nervous. Nervous and afraid. What were they going to do with her? Her mind raced. She thought of what she...Read On

Unless you have a coapplicant who can cover all of your liabilities comfortably then the ability to repay is not evident. Under the new QM/ATR (qualified mortgage/ability to repay) laws that went into effect under Frank-Dodd on 1/10/14 it could even be considered illegal to give you a mortgage.
If you omit the information and are somehow able to close then you would be committing mortgage fraud.
Either way why risk it? If the loss of your job affects you qualifying then your lender can provide you with a decline and your earnest monies can be refunded.
Plus it's easier and cheaper to get out early on in the transaction,,, consult with your agent and lender if applicable.
If you had another job lined up you might have a work around available depending on the loan program but your timeline is likely an issue.
More than likely you will not get final approval for the loan given the circumstances. I would err on the side of caution and have your agent talk to the other side as soon as possible. There is no gaurantee that you will be employed in the same city so why tie yourself to a house that you will need to rent or sell. Joan Bowyer-Principal Broker-John L. Scott-32 years of helping buyers and sellers
If your termination is a public matter and the bank will find out, they will likely not approve the loan at the last minute. Employment verification calls are not uncommon and sometimes happen more than once in the underwriting process.
I think I'd find out if there were other jobs in the company you might be able to get. I would be looking for other employment opportunities outside the company and I'd be talking to anyone else involved with your decision making for their input and advice, like a spouse.
I had something similar happen to a client of mine before and we just stopped our process until things worked out. Eventually he got a much better job and we got their home sold and they got a much larger home that they love.
