Author's Note
This is an offshot type of fic I decided to do prior to the crossover Resident Evil fic I have in mind for my series. This is a what if scenario post RE5.
"Thank you." She whispered as held her tightly.
''I'm here for you.''
When she looked up at his eyes she was aware the magnitude fo her feelings. It had happened in an instant. Their lips met, soft and warm. Despite the fact that their clothes were soaking wet from the rain their body heat surged from the contact. The kiss was gentle and passionate.
''Are you sure?'' He whispered.
"I...I...don't know…"
''I won't leave you...you know that.''
''Then stay here with me. Because you're the only one that can make them stop. You're the only who...'' She was silenced by a tender kiss.
''Okay...yeah. I'll do it. I'll stay with you.''
His hands went to her wet t-shirt. As her arms were raised the wet t-shirt as her voluptuous bosom was exposed looking magnificent in her lace bra. With a wet plop the t-shirt was thrown to the ground as his soft lips connected to her neck causing her to moan.
''Will you let me stay by your side always?''
''Yes,'' she hissed as hia large soft arms made her feel safe. Without a word he picked her up and carried her to bedroom.
Jill Valentine had found herself turning and tossing endlessly in the bed of her apartment. Despite it nearly two years since the Africa/Oroboros incident the nightmares still haunted her. Every action, every choice, and everything that happened to her while under Wesker's control would not just vanish upon freedom. She had broken out in cold sweats every night for the past week.
''How does it feel to be nothing but a trophy?''
''Get away from me!'' Jill screeched as she awoke startled, clawing at the air. That voice...that damned voice had been plauging her for the longest. All those months of physical and mental torturing. All those attempts to try and break her. She closed her eyes and tried to fight back the nausea. She was getting that sick, almost painful feeling in her stomach again. Her head was pounding,and her breaths were becoming erratic as she tried to calm down. She nearly jumped out of her skin when she felt someone touch her.
''It's alright Jill. It's alright.'' A soothing voice told her as she started to calm down again. ''The nightmares again?''
''Yes...damnit I thought I was passed this.''
''It was tramautic ordeal you've gone through Jill. That monster was torturing you for years and that's not something you can brush off.'' The person next to her told her as he ran his fingers through her dark brown hair. Ever since the virus injection that caused Jill's beautiful dark hue to bleach blond she had been dyeing in the hair to get it back to it's original sheen. ''He's not alive and he's not coming back. I was there and we finished him off.''
''He's come back before. How can you be sure?''
''If he is I'll kill him. I'll kill him as many times as necessary. I'll die before I let him hurt you or the little ones,'' The man said placing a hand on her slightly bulging stomach.''
Jill turned and rested her face against the shoulder of the blond. ''Naruto...thank you.'' She said, thinking back to what led them to this situation they were in now.
Naruto had arrived at Jill's apartment right at 2:00 P.M. He was wondering what the B.S.A.A. agent wanted with him? It wasn't that he was busy per say, but he was trying to decide whether or not to get involved in this latest operation. There were rumors that Wesker may in fact not be dead and was actually in Australia. It was things like this that really pissed Naruto off. Why was it that nobody he killed or helped killed ever stay dead? He looked up and noticed the dark and greying skies. It seems like it was about to rain.
Entering the building he went up the steps and went to Jill's apartment door and was about to knock when it opened. He was left gawking at the sight.
Jill stood there wearing a classic black cocktail dress that came down to the knee. It was strapless and hugged every single curve she had and then some. And quite the curves she had, especially that lovely rear of hers.
''Come in...'' She said as Naruto nodded dumbly as he followed her in. ''Naruto, do you remember when you said I could on you for anything right?''
''Well yeah, all my friends can count on me for anything. Okay maybe not anything, but pretty damn close,'' he responded, trying not to focus on her cleavage.
''It's a very personal sort of favor I need to ask you.''
''Well ok but please be clear about the favor as you know how I tend to interpret things. So just come on and hit me with this favor.''
''I want to have a baby and I want you to be the father.''
Naruto blinked owlishly as his head dropped slightly replaying the words in her head seeing if she heard him right. ''Excuse me?''
''I want you to father my child,'' the woman repeated just as clear as day.
''Wow...I mean really...I...why me?''
''Because I want to know the father of my child. I want to know he and she will grow up healthy without worrying about unknown family complications and history. And I've been thinking about for the last two years and I'm not getting any younger.'' She said, reminding him that in a few months she would be turning forty. ''I'm going to retire from the field and quite frankly I'm tired of being alone. I lost a six of my life being nothing more then a controlled assassin and...it's just something I need to know.''
''I won't lecture you,'' he began as he placed his right hand to his face as he rested his chin in her palm. ''I assume you know how difficult it is to be a single mother but are you sure? I mean...''
''It's been two years. I'm fine,'' she cut him off. ''I just want to live the rest of my life in peace, but without the loneliness.''
''Why me? Why not Chris?'' He asked as Jill shifted uncomfortably. Despite his flirtations and obvious interest Naruto knew of the romantic chemistry she had with her long time partner. ''He cares about you. I don't see why you wouldn't go to him before me.''
''It's because I don't want to try to burden him. I know he tried to help me through it all, but no matter how much he tried to help me he just doesn't understand. He doesn't know what it likes to have to deal with a darkness that's now a permanent part of you. Not knowing about not being able to control yourself as you callously attacking people and end lives. I tried...we tried...but he couldn't help me like you could. He couldn't help me deal with the memories. And I'm not suggesting he would be a deadbeat dad, but I know if I ever need help I could count on you.''
''That's why you shouldn't count on me. You know because of my genes any child you have won't be...normal exactly.'' He looked up and then he noticed something in her features. ''There's another reason you're not telling me are you? If you want to help you'll have to be completely up front with me. I care about you but if you're going to jerk my chain I'm walking out that door.''
''It isn't easy for me damnit!'' She snapped as her face twisted into a scowl. ''It's not like I have any other choices.''
Naruto was struck by the surge of emotion. ''Jill...did the P30...did it leave you...Sterile?'' He asked as she turned away from him. ''Why...why didn't you say anything? Is that why?...''
''Well you're my last hope in the manner. It isn't just because of your different genes as you know I'm not that shallow. I guess it's because I know how much family values to you but because you're a traveler...''
''No whole issue of fuss and all that huh? I'm just a runner-up huh?'' Naruto didn't know why he was getting angry. He knew that if it wasn't for that incident Jill probably wouldn't have asked him to come over. ''You just need my seed and I'll be on my merry way only showing up for birthdays and Christmases.''
''It isn't like that!''
''Then was it? How am I suppose to interpret? It's not like you ever chose between us. Hell am I suppose to forget that night in Raccoon City where we...'' He paused and unclenched his hands noticing how emotional he was getting over this.
Jill felt a pang of guilt in her stomach. ''You're right. I do love Chris, but I'm not in love with him. And you were a safer choice, that it wouldn't hurt as much if you left. I kept trying tell myself that, but now I realize I'm just lying to myself. ''
What happened next caught her by surprise. Naruto moved over to her grasp her chin and kissed her. Her eyes widened in shock as her body froze and she tried to respond. When the kiss broke Naruto simply said, ''I can't Jill I'm sorry. I can't give you a child and not want to be apart of your life as well. I better start walking before I'm caught in the rain. I'm...I'm leaving now; so please give the others my best and tell them I'm sorry I couldn't say goodbye.'' He said as he left her standing there. Hearing the front door open and close shut, that sense of lonliness that her apartment was usually filled with every moment of each day. She fought back a choked sob as she realized that no matter how hard she tried to convince herself that her feelings for the blond weren't as strong as they are. With a heavy sigh she went back into her bedroom as she got out of the dress and placed on a pair a T-shirt and a pair of Jeans. She was startled by the sudden sound of thunder as it started to pour down raining.
''What the hell are you doing here sitting here and feeling sorry for yourself? You care about that idiot don't you? Don't let him get away!'' Whether it was her subconscious or she was recalling what one of her associates told her in the past when she was faced with this exact situation after Raccoon city she didn't know. All she did know that she wasn't going to make the same mistake twice. And that's how she found himself in the soaking rain chasing after him and everything that followed was a flurry of emotions.
That's how they found themselves in bed. How she was so attentive with her.
''Beautiful.'' She heard him mumbled as her full and supple breasts were freed from it's confines. They pressed against his chest as they exchanged sweet and tender kisses. Her tender kisses causing his erection to peak and stiff. Her soft figures teased his tip as juices seeped from his tip. Her touches aroused him and vice versa. Their hot and craving arousal filled the room. Naruto groaned and thrust into her hand as she pumped him, allowing him to play with him however she desired. He would let her lead because he knew she needed to be in control. He wanted to let her know he cared and that he was willingly to earn her trust. Tangling about, kisses and groans echoed as their clothing went flying.
Her moist opening rubbed against his crock and it drove him wild. ''Are you ready?''
''Yes...how much longer are you going to tease me?''
Not much longer apparently as his head slipped past her moist slit as they both groaned. He couldn't help but tense at the sensations. His hands rested on her hips as he help her slide down his length. Jill couldn't help but grunt upon being impaled on something so thick. She could feel him pulsating inside of her. They went slow, trying to prevent any old injuries or internal ripping. Jill wasn't aware she was crying until she felt Naruto wipe the tears away with his thumbs. He knew how much emotional turmoil she was probably going through to relax and not immediately lash out or react violently to intimate touches. After a few moments she began moving so she could feel all of her in him as her core was set ablaze. His hands were caressing her large and packed rear as Jill gripped Naruto's shoulders.
Jill lifted herself up, and slammed back down, as she reveled in the control. With every roll of her hips she continued riding him, controlling him, every thrust producing an audible squelch, fluids, sweat, collecting in her, dripping down her. The sensation that pulled through them were nothing short of amazing. Sweat glistening their skin as they went about satisfying their bodies urges.
Naruto's hairs were spread against the pillow as low guttural growls echoed from his throat. He couldn't help but looked up at the goddess above him, her breasts moving with her. Jill rode him harder, faster. He bucked under her, matching her movements.
They both erupted at the same time. He exploded into her, filling her up, cum dripping down her thighs, while she climaxed with an orgasmic inside as her insiders shuttered. She collapsed down onto, resting her face on his chest as they were both disorientated yet satisfied. Content that all they needed was each other.

Sandra Bullock wants out of Gulf restoration video
Published: Friday, July 30, 2010 at 11:50 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 30, 2010 at 11:50 a.m.
NEW ORLEANS — A spokeswoman for Sandra Bullock says the actress wants her parts of a video promoting Gulf Coast restoration removed until she learns whether oil companies influenced it.
The statement Thursday came after the website DeSmogBlog called the campaign an industry push to get support for drilling and taxpayer money to repair wetland damage caused by the BP oil spill.
Women of the Storm, a New Orleans group that produced the video, lists America's Wetland Foundation as a partner. The foundation lists BP and other oil companies as sponsors on its website.
Anne Milling, founder of Women of the Storm, says the foundation provided experts and information. But she says the video was not funded by oil companies.

On a side note, I'm always impressed by how well the folks at WET understand the value of a good publicity photo.
Guns are boring. After you've fired a few tens of thousands of rounds and had lots of live rounds whiz by you over the years, you realize that.
But for those still stuck on them, I suppose this is a good thing to see.
On the other hand Will, doing any version of "Hedda Gabler" WITHOUT a gun would be pretty boring as well.
Well, that's true.
"live" pistol shots? As in live rounds, with bullets and everything? That doesn't sound right.
I'm fairly certain that by "live" they mean "not recorded", but in any case they'd be using blanks.
The 06/07 WET season ended with Iphigenia in Aulis. Pretty sure this isn't a "WET performance" but rather a performance by somebody renting WET's space. Maybe this?

very easy to make, i found that you didnt get 20 servings i prefer 6 large ones :)
just like the ones I made when I was at school (many moons ago). Delicious
Fantastic! Easy and so good! Didn't have any mixed spice so I used ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon and can't make them quick enough. Thank you for posting this. Never found a better recipe for an old favourite.

In this review article, we examine many important aspects of the nanocatalysis field such as size and shape dependent nanocatalysis, the stability of nanoparticles during its catalytic function, and their recycling potential. We provide an overview of some of the work in the literature pertinent to these topics and also discuss some of our own work in these important areas. Some examples of how the catalytic activity is affected by the size of the nanoparticles are discussed as well as how the catalytic process affects the nanoparticle size after its catalytic function. The synthesis of platinum nanoparticles of different shapes is surveyed and the dependence of nanoparticle shape on the catalytic activity is discussed. In addition, changes in the nanoparticle shape and resulting changes in the catalytic activity are also discussed. The recycling potential of the metal nanocatalysts is also highlighted. In addition, a simple examination of the mechanism of nanocatalysis is discussed.

House OKs $50.7B in storm help
By DAVID ESPO
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — More than 10 weeks after Superstorm Sandy brutalized parts of the heavily populated Northeast, the House approved $50.7 billion in emergency relief for the victims Tuesday night as Republican leaders struggled to close out an episode that exposed painful party divisions inside Congress and out.
The vote was 241-180, and officials said the Senate was likely to accept the measure early next week and send it to President Barack Obama for his signature. Democrats supported the aid in large numbers, while majority Republicans opposed it by a lopsided margin.
"We are not crying wolf here," said Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., one of a group of Northeastern lawmakers from both parties who sought House passage of legislation roughly in line with what the Obama administration and governors of the affected states have sought.
Democrats were more politically pointed as they brushed back Southern conservatives who sought either to reduce the measure or offset part of its cost through spending cuts elsewhere in the budget.
"I just plead with my colleagues not to have a double standard," said Rep. Carolyn Maloney of New York. "Not to vote tornado relief to Alabama, to Louisiana, to Mississippi, Missouri, to — with Ike, Gustav, Katrina, Rita — but when it comes to the Northeast, with the second worst storm in the history of our country, to delay, delay, delay."
One key vote came on an attempt by Rep. Rodney Freylinghuysen to add $33.7 billion to an original allotment of $17 billion in aid. That roll call was 228-192 and Democrats broke 190-2 in favor, while Republicans opposed it overwhelmingly, 190-38.
Similarly, on final passage, 192 Democrats joined 49 Republicans in support. Opposed were 179 Republicans and one Democrat.
Earlier, conservatives failed in an attempt to offset a part of the bill's cost with across-the-board federal budget cuts. The vote was 258-162.
Rep. Mark Mulvaney, R-S.C., arguing for the reduction, said he wasn't trying to torpedo the aid package, only to pay for it. "Are there no savings, are there no reductions we can put in place this year so these folks can get their money?" he asked plaintively.
Critics said the proposed cuts would crimp Pentagon spending as well as domestic accounts and said the aid should be approved without reductions elsewhere. "There are times when a disaster simply goes beyond our ability to budget. Hurricane Sandy is one of those times," said Rep. Hal Rogers of Kentucky, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.
Sandy roared through several states in late October and has been blamed for 140 deaths and billions of dollars in residential and business property damage, much of it in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. It led to power outages and interruptions to public transportation that made life miserable for millions, and the clamor for federal relief began almost immediately.
The emerging House measure includes about $16 billion to repair transit systems in New York and New Jersey and a similar amount for housing and other needs in the affected area. An additional $5.4 billion would go to the Federal Emergency and Management Agency for disaster relief, and $2 billion is ticketed for restoration of highways damaged or destroyed in the storm.
The Senate approved a $60 billion measure in the final days of the Congress that expired on Jan. 3, and a House vote had been expected quickly.
It is highly unusual for a majority party to bring legislation to a vote that its own rank-and-file opposes, but in this case, Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and the leadership had little or no choice.
Boehner unexpectedly postponed the vote in the final hours of the expiring Congress as he struggled to calm conservatives unhappy that the House had just approved a separate measure raising tax rates on the wealthy.
The delay drew a torrent of criticism, much of it from other Republicans.
"There's only one group to blame for the continued suffering of these innocent victims, the House majority and their speaker, John Boehner," New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said on the day after the delay was announced. Rep. Pete King of New York added that campaign donors in the Northeast who give to Republicans "should have their head examined."
Less than two weeks later, the leadership brought legislation to the floor under ground rules designed to satisfy as many Republicans as possible while retaining support from Democrats eager to approve as much in disaster aid as possible.
Across the capitol, majority Democrats indicated they would probably not seek changes.
"While the House bill is not quite as good as the Senate bill, it is certainly close enough," Sen. Charles Schumer of New York said. "We will be urging the Senate to speedily pass the House bill and send it to the president's desk."
Congress has already approved a $9.7 billion increase in a fund to pay federal flood insurance claims, much of it expected to benefit victims of Sandy.
The political veered into the personal at times during hours of debate.
In remarks on the House floor, Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J., said one South Carolina lawmaker who has criticized the measure "personally took a small business" disaster loan in the past. While he didn't mention any names, South Carolina Rep. Mulvaney has said he received such a loan.
Mulvaney later told reporters the comparison was a poor one. He said that unlike funds in the Sandy legislation, the loan he received was approved within the budget, and not as an add-on that increased the deficit.
In the weeks since the storm hit, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has spent about $3.1 billion for construction of shelters, restoration of power and other immediate needs after the late-October storm pounded the Atlantic Coast with hurricane-force winds and coastal flooding.
Officials say Sandy is the most costly natural disaster since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The storm damaged or destroyed 305,000 housing units in New York, and more than 265,000 businesses were disrupted there, officials have said. In New Jersey, more than 346,000 households were destroyed or damaged, and more than 40,000 families remain living out of their homes, according to officials.

Sony's GC Press Event: PSP 3000 painting the town pink, turquoise, and purple this November
Sony's taken its PSP 3000 factory and parked it under a rainbow, resulting in three new, eye-scorchingly bright PSP colors.
Turquoise blue, lilac purple, and blossom pink PSPs were announced, with turquoise and lilac being bundled with LittleBigPlanet and Hannah Montana, respectively.

Sustainability Is A Team Effort: Corporate Sustainability Works Best When Employees Are Stakeholders
In order to lend insight into the process of change in large corporations, Klaus Weber, an assistant professor of management and organizations at the Kellogg School, and Sara Soderstrom, a doctoral student at the Kellogg School of Management, spent 18 months observing a multinational medical devices company as it strove to incorporate sustainability into its agenda. They find that change must come from within the company, rather than be handed down from above. "It's not like a lone hero turns a company into a sustainable enterprise," Weber says. "It's about people coming together and working together."

The objective of this study was to determine the long-term effects of ambient unionized ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) combined with different feeding regimes on Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L parr growth, welfare and smoltification. Previous studies on the parr stage of Atlantic salmon have mostly focused on acute exposure, or at low temperatures. Atlantic salmon parr were exposed for 105 days (at 12°C, pH 6.8) to four sublethal ammonia concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 35 μg L−1 NH3-N (0.1–25 mg L−1 TAN) at two feeding levels: full feed strength (+20% overfeeding) and 1/3 of full feed strength. After 21 days, it was observed that 32 μg L−1 NH3-N reduced growth rate of parr fed full ration, but this effect was not evident at the end of the exposure. Feed utilization was not affected by ammonia exposure at any sampling point. Increasing ammonia levels were associated with a higher prevalence and severity of gill damage at 22 days but not at the end of the exposure. The examination of welfare indicators revealed only a few pathologies, not related to ammonia exposure. In addition, higher ammonia concentrations did not appear to influence the development of hypo-osmoregulatory ability during parr-smolt transformation.

Portugal announced in April that it was home to one of the world's largest solar
arrays. The 150 acre, 11-megawatt (MW) solar plant was built by Catavento
and PowerLight Corporation and is capable of powering 8,000 homes in Serpa.
Cleantech America LLC., a San Francisco-based company, plans
to build a solar farm that would far eclipse the one built in Portugal. The new
80 MW farm, known as the Kings
River Conservation District Community Choice Solar Farm, will be situated
on 640 acres of land and is scheduled to be completed by 2011.
"We're pretty confident that solar farms on this scale
are going to have an industry-changing impact," said Cleantech CEO Bill
Barnes. "We think it's the wave of the future. This scale of project, I
think, creates a tipping point for renewable energy."
"We think the impact for it will be similar to the
impact of the computer chip," Barnes continued. "So too will
economies of scale like the Community Choice farm drive down the cost of
Cleantech estimates that the energy generated by the solar
array will be enough to power 20,000 homes.

Higher voltage means less loss in transmitting the electricity, and a new grid would efficiently route spare energy.

On my baby's second birthday I was 1,600 miles away from him drinking with other writers at a writing workshop in Oregon. Back in February, I had been accepted to a prestigious writing workshop and I leapt at the chance to go discuss what I love to do with some of the best writers in the nation. Technically, I was working. But also, not so technically, I was not. I was enjoying myself. But no matter how you parsed it, I was away from my son on the day that marked his second birthday.
I thought a lot about this decision. On one hand, I hadn't spent more than three nights away from him in the entire two years of his existence. Plus, would he remember? I mean, really? On the other hand, it was his birthday.
The laws of parenthood dictate that we do not miss our children's major milestones. As a writer and reader, I know that fiction and memoir are rife with the troubled rememberings of children whose parents abandoned them at crucial moments—choir concerts, theater performances and yes, birthdays.
I discussed this choice with friends and family. Would my son look back on July 15, 2015 as a crucial moment in his childhood, when his mother gallivanted off to the Pacific Northwest, and left him to the cold, comforts of hot dogs, boxed macaroni and his father's care? Or would he instead, focus on the day a few weeks later, when his mom would make him waffles for dinner and procure a bounce-house for his delayed party? Or would he not remember anything? Instead focusing on some other unloved moment? Some other missed opportunity that I would unknowningly bestow up on him?
"You are fine," my friend Mel reassured me. "You are home with him every day of his life, missing a week is not going to traumatize him."
Another acquaintance was less comforting. "Well," she said as kindly as she could, "I wouldn't do it. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't."
I went anyway. I felt guilty anyway. If I had stayed I would have wished I had gone. I went and wished I had stayed.
We have decided somehow as a culture what a good mother does and does not do and as caring parents we closely follow these dictums as best we can: Kiss the wounds, soothe the heartbreak, cheer the sports games, celebrate the first steps and the birthdays. We hope that by following this checklist everything will turn out okay. But what if it doesn't?
What if I screw up everything and my son comes out okay regardless? What if I screw up nothing and he becomes a mass murderer? I am not sure what is in my control and what isn't.
It's the easy lie of culture that we can blame the parents. It's our go-to judgement because sometimes the line from troubled serial killer to sad child is easy to trace. Other times, it's less clear. Sometimes the killer had happy devoted parents. Sometimes the president grew up in a troubled home. But we still blame the parents because it is easy. Because it forces a narrative on our lives that follows the path of childhood to adulthood in one easy-to-understand arc of cause and effect.
But life isn't always so easy. Devoted parents can fail. Cold parents have their moments of warmth.
The day before his birthday, I sat in a lecture where Dorothy Allison, the famed novelist and poet told a story of her son being beaten up by the son of an agent at a literary party. "See," she said. "We all fail, even when we are right there."
Her story comforted me to some extent. But also terrified me. She had been right there. She had brought her son with her to the event. She had still missed a crucial moment. One that he liked to tell and retell to the embarrassment of his mother. I suppose that no matter who we are or what we accomplish, we are little more than the memories of our children. It's no wonder there are people who don't have them.
When you don't have children there are fewer people to fail, to disappoint, or lose in the ever-present battle between the things you need and the things you want.
I don't have sure answers. Right now my baby is so little. He was happy to see me when I came home. And I was happy to see him. And we had a big party a few days later with a bounce house and lots of cake. Perhaps this moment is one that will be lost forever to our mutual history. Perhaps it won't. All I know is that searching for surety, it's more about me than them.

From Staff
St. Augustine's Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval Tuesday of an application to turn an old 10,080-square-foot tire store and automobile repair shop into a chocolate factory.
The vote was 7-0 to approve.
The application was submitted by businessman Henry "Hank" Whetstone Jr. for a use by exception at 149 King St., the former Cooper Tires building next to St. Augustine Police Department headquarters.
At the meeting, Whetstone told the board he would address questions about flood-proofing the building and whether the factory would offer tours of the production lines at a future time.
The application goes next to the city commission for final approval.

South Jersey Healthcare celebrated on Feb. 6 the opening of the Joseph Zeccardi, MD Pediatric Emergency Department at the SJH Regional Medical Center in Vineland, N.J. Designed specifically for children, the eight-bed unit features specialized equipment and exam rooms and a child-friendly waiting area, according to a news release.
"We all know that a trip to the ER can be stressful for anyone," Elizabeth A. Sheridan, RN, MA, SJHs chief operating officer of the Regional Medical Center and corporate chief nurse executive, said in the release. "For children and their parents, it can be especially trying. It is our sincere hope that our new pediatric emergency department will make the experience less stressful for the entire family."
SJH emergency medicine physicians, specially trained nurses and pediatric hospitalists from Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Del., will work together within the department. Dedicated emergency department beds will ensure quicker triaging of sick children and decrease wait times, according to the release.
And if needed, Nemours Kids transport is available to bring pediatric patients to Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children. The addition of the new pediatric emergency department comes less than a year after the opening of the Deborah F. Sager Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The pediatric unit is named in honor of the late Joseph Zeccardi, who dedicated his career to pediatrics and emergency medicine. He served as SJHs chairman of emergency medicine from 1998 to 2004.

Rupert Murdoch Pretty Much Saved His Sons in the News Corp. Shareholders' Vote
Minority shareholders came out strong against the family in a vote.
At Friday's annual meeting, a majority of News Corp. shareholders that aren't named Murdoch (or their closest ally, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Alsaud) voted against Rupert's sons James and Lachlan, although all three family members ultimately survived. Lucky for them that only certain shares come with voting power, and of those the Murdochs own about 40 percent. The prince, who has said his confidence in the family is "unshaken completely" by the recent phone-hacking mess, owns another 7 percent. Still, the message was sent by uncertain minority shareholders, as they threatened it would be, with James, the boss of the scandal-scarred News International division, receiving a 35 percent "no" vote for reelection, while his older brother Lachlan faced a 34 percent opposition. The big guy's negatives were much lower, at 16 percent. Presumably the patriarch isn't mad, he's just disappointed.

If you want to pay for something but don't like using cash commercial paper can be a good option if the buyer is ok with it.
We decided to buy an extremely large amount of commercial paper to best set up our business for continued success.
Many corporations use commercial paper as a form of currency indicating the transference of a specified sum of money at a specified time.

Anyway, here I am now and whenever I even think about the switch I get so discouraged because it just seems highly unlikely...no experience in the game industry apart from playing and beta testing games, no programming experience, no real art or musical talent.
I ran across a Master's degree program from the University of Utah which has a Game Producer Track programm (Collaboration between the CS and Fine Arts department). I could theoretically get accepted...and I would have something on my resume that may make a future employer not say "why the hell is he applying here."
However, then I still dont have the experience...looking at the job openings...it seems unlikely that I would have a shot with a Game Producer like degree...
I do have something to offer though (besides a passion for games)...I am an Intellectual Property Attorney and if I were to join a smaller studio..they kind of would get a free in house IP attorney...I do feel like I have some of the other requirements that are important for the job (organized, technical writing, team work, etc. whatever else is always listed). I could see this as somewhat of an incentive maybe?
Is this switch feasible...oh...and I am "old" by now..38...I dont feel old but I guess the numbers dont lie!

Unanswered: Touch App Works Well in Preview and Android Native, Fails in Web Production
I have a Sencha Touch App generated with Sencha Architect. The intention is to deploy it on Android devices but retain a demo copy that can work via a normal browser over the web.
The challenge is (without making any changes to the code) it works perfectly when (1) packaged and deployed to the Android device and (2) run under preview in Architect (i.e. when the build optimizations are not carried out. However when I run "Build Web App", or "Run Build Target", certain errors come up in the console and some events no longer work. Some included .js files (which were not complained about in scenarios [1] and [2] mentioned above now get reported as missing).
In the attached screenshot, "A" is what shows when build target is run. "B" shows in preview and also works in the Android App.
How can this problem be corrected?

Skip to comments.Van Jones: Obama 'Forced' to Sit with 'Racist' Cop at Beer Summit
Posted on 04/17/2012 6:17:24 PM PDT by blueyon
In an April 3rd appearance on the left-wing Democracy Now TV show, Van Jones has offered his own behind-the-scenes take on an incident that made race a political issue three years before the Trayvon Martin case. As Jones describes it, the infamous "beer summit" on the White House lawn was a case where President Obama was "forced" into a meeting with a "racist" police officer.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
So, Obama is a spineless wuss who gets forced into doing things that violate his core convictions?
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
He's the friggen president who can use the Secret Service to throw anybody out on their ear.
As I recall the incident, it was the cop who was required to go to the Whitehouse.
I'm sure the cop had better things to do with his time, like scrubbing the grout around his tub.
That's funny, I saw it as a sham meeting in which a professional law enforcement officer was forced to sit with two racists and make nice in order to protect his career.
If he'd just pretended to be presidential and kept his big yap shut, he wouldn't have been "forced" to sit with the white cop.
I bet it's a vexation to his racist spirit that in spite of his position, he's still forced to deal with white men at every level, and especially other world leaders. He'd rather be visiting South Africa and singing along with Jacob Zuma, "Kill the Boer, kill the white farmer"
Comrade Swampsniper, that alleged picture is doubleplusungood. Put it down the memory hole at once!
The police officer was the one who was sitting with two racists.
No, a cop was forced to sit with the the black racist president Obama.
And I would like to comment on SNIPER'S picture which shows the decency and kindness of the officer assisting the old man, while our arrogant f*ck racist repugnant president slithers to the cameras as fast as he can with out so much as even a glance at the older, more frail MEMBER OF HIS OWN DAMN RACE for crying out loud.
It's been a while since I've seen this pic, and it still infuriates me to no end ><
Easy to see who the real racist is.
Big Sis can kiss my Redneck butt!
Liberals are so obvious. Doesn't it get old for them?
Certain groups among their base are not wild about Obama like they used to be. So the marxist activists are stirring the pot, hoping votes will rise to the top.
Turning up the heat with Occupy scumbags and racist rantings by closest friends will have a lasting effect on voters who don't take so kiindly to thuggery, violence, intimidation, bullying and the mocking of stay-at-home moms. Every day lately is a "gift" from democrats and compliant media to the upcoming new president.
Oops, should have been "tantrum."
Photo speaks volumes. Zero ignores his "friend" Henry Louis Gates" on the steps. And who is gracious enough to help the professor? "Da racist cop". Yet Zero gets a pass for his lack of basic manners.
I thought the issue was settled and all was peace and happiness. I guess Van Jones wants to bring it up again since the first time did not deliver what the race card had intended to deliver.
I am beginning to think this race card crap is the fruit of godless moral degenerate sociopaths hell bent on destroying this nation because of some demonic fantasy.
Eeewwwww, he was afraid of getting cracker cooties!
And question now why he couldn't be bothered to go to his typical white granny's funeral?
Gee could I force him to meet with me?
Van Jones, communist black racist.
That's because he's full of it.
Haven't seen Obama covered with flies during a press conference for a while. No rodents darting around his feet either.
"That's funny, I saw it as a sham meeting in which a professional law enforcement officer was forced to sit with two racists and make nice in order to protect his career."
And, nothing less.
Van Jones: The right wing and the law enforcement establishment brought the wrath of God down on the White House, I was there, and suddenly he's forced to do a beer summit to sit eye to eye with a racist police officer... as a black man, even the most powerful man in the world, can not speak about race and if he does he's then forced to sit humbly across the table from a racist police officer.
Jones goes on to describe the beer summit as a "terrifying, shocking" revelation about the state of race relations in America.
The King always walks first!

Objectives: To estimate the prevalence and risk factors for antenatal anxiety (AA) and antenatal depression (AD).
Methods: We performed a cross sectional study of 432 women attending a private clinic in the city of Osasco, São Paulo, from 5/27/1998 to 5/13/2002. The following instruments were used: Spielberger state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI), Beck depression inventory (BDI), and a questionnaire for socio-demographic and obstetric data. Inclusion criteria were: pregnant women with no past or present history of depression, psychiatric treatment, alcohol or drug abuse and no clinical and obstetric complications. The prevalence of AA, according to STAI, and AD, according to Beck Inventory, were estimated with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Odds ratios and 95% CI were used to examine the association between AA and AD and exposures variables.
Results: The prevalence of AA, state and trait were 59.5 (95 CI%: 54.8:64.1%) and 45.3% (95% CI: 40.6:50.0), respectively. The prevalence of AD was 19.6 (95% CI:15.9:23.4). In the multivariate analysis, AA-trait (OR: 5.26; 95% CI 2.17:12.5, p < 0.001), AA-state (OR: 2.27; 95% CI 1.08:4.76, p = 0.02) and AD (OR: 2.43; 95% CI 1.40:4.34, p = 0.002) were associated with lower women's educational level. AA-trait (OR: 3.43; 95% CI 1.68:7.00, p = 0.001), AA-state (OR: 2.22; CI 95% 1.09:4.53, p = 0.02) and AD (OR: 2.82; CI 95% 1.35:5.97, p = 0.005) were also associated with not being married. AA-trait was associated with lower women's income (OR: 2.22; 95% CI 0.98:5.26, p = 0.05) and not being white (OR: 1.7; 95% CI 1.00:2.91, p = 0.04), while AD was associated with lower couple's income (OR: 2.43; 95% CI 1.40:4.34, p = 0.001) and greater number of previous abortions (OR: 2.21; 95% CI 1.23:3.97, p = 0.009).
Conclusions: Prevalence of AA and AD were high in this sample of women attending a private care setting, particularly AA state and trace. AA and AD were associated with similar socio-demographic and socio-economic risk factors, suggesting some common environmental stressors may be involved.

Was Harry Truman a War Criminal? Jon Stewart Says Yes, Then No
Well....was Harry Truman a war criminal? In my view, it is not even a close call. He was. If just war theory means anything it is that the intentional mass slaughter of civilians can not be justified. Had Hitler dropped an atomic bomb on London in 1941, judges at a subsequent war crimes trial would have dismissed out of hand any defense (even if it was partially true) that one goal was to"shorten the war and save lives from an invasion." They would have called it mass murder, pure and simple.
As Mark Brady points out, the entire basis of Whittle's argument falls apart once we abandon the premise of unconditional surrender (as first proclaimed by FDR). Truman rebuffed all proposals to let the Japanese keep the emperor in exchange for a surrender. A side benefit, of course, of such a conditional surrender would have been to avoid a bloody American invasion. Ironically, once Truman had dropped the bomb, he shifted course and agreed to this condition anyway. One of the best discussions of this issue is Thomas Fleming's magisterial, The New Dealers War.

David T. Beito - 5/11/2009
This is worth pursuing. I'll look into it.
David, this represents a golden opportunity. You or some other libertarian historian knowledgeable about Truman and the decision to drop the atomic bombs should try to get on the Daily Show for an interview. Then Stewart would be able to take the politically correct position, saving his ass, while still informing his audience that, "Yes, Virginia, the USA has elected war criminals to high office."

Great fun for history buffs!
A fun and unique way to learn about the history of your hometown, vacation spot, or wherever you happen to be. My only suggestion would be to add more content, perhaps explaining some of the postcards that come up, but that should increase as the app matures.
Winner app, Must download!
Such a fun app. Awesome to go back in time through old Americana! The sending post card feature is neat to be able to share the experience or familiar places/memories with family & friends
Love this app. Loved the first one too. I find postcards to be super nostalgic and it's great to be able to see what places look like now. I collected postcards as a kid so it really hits a chord. Easy to navigate too. Good stuff.

In the United States, considerable attention has been directed to sexual behaviors of black and white adolescents, particularly age at first sexual experience and the prevalence of teenage pregnancies. More limited attention has been paid to comparing established sexual relationships in these two racial groups. In this study, we used a national probability sample to compare black (n = 251) and white (n = 544) American women, aged 20–65 years, who were in an established heterosexual relationship of at least 6 months duration. We focused on two aspects of their sexual well-being; how a woman evaluated (1) her sexual relationship and (2) her own sexuality. A range of possible determinants of sexual well-being, including demographic factors, physical and mental health, and aspects of the women's recent sexual experiences, were also assessed using Telephone-Audio-Computer-Assisted Self-Interviewing (T-ACASI). We found no significant difference between black and white women in their evaluation of their sexual relationships nor in the independent variables that were correlated with this evaluation. Black women, however, evaluated their own sexuality more positively than white women. In examining the correlates of this evaluation, a woman's rating of her own sexual attractiveness proved to be the strongest predictor, with black women rating themselves significantly more sexually attractive than did the white women. Overall, these findings were consistent with previous findings that, compared to white women, black women in the United States have higher self-esteem and tend towards more independence and individualism.

Kansas now has it correct. Why should a family with illegal members get more support than a legal family. Oklahoma should change their method of determining eligibility to the Kansas method and count the total income of all family members regardles of citizenship status.

Giving welfare to illegals' anchors takes money away from American children who will be raised as Americans w/o dual loyalty to two countries.
Illegals know the risk of having children they can't afford. That is not my problem, maybe they should petition the Mexican govt.

If you think for one second that the illegal parent/parents don't have their names on the EBT/food stamp credit card and that they and their illegal aunts/uncle's/cousins and pet dogs aren't eating off of the taxpayers money too you're as stupid as a stubborn mexican burrrrrrrrrrrrrro.

MOre bullshit from the bleeding heart liberal leftists in this nation quote "What worries John Cook, a leading child-hunger researcher, is that society will pay a high price in the future because of policies similar to the one the SRS has implemented
Oh really.....guess what John....society HAS ALREADY PAID A HIGH PRICE because of policies regarding ILLEGALS and their anchor babies and have had enough of it you fu*king clown. Just what is a child hunger researcher anyway? Maybe John should get a real job!!!

"SRS officials say the policy change, which is allowed under federal guidelines, is fair. They say the old formula gave some households with illegal immigrants more benefits than some households with all U.S. citizens."
Can you believe this?!!! Pathetic!

NO MEANS NO!!! We cannot afford to send our children to school or give them what they deserve yet these MOFOS want us to give everything to illegal immigrants who mate like wild boar, THAT AINT GONNA FLY BIOTCH!!!!!!!!
We work for our own, not criminals.

I am a single mom and it hasn't been easy, but I chose to support my own family without being a burden to my country, so I very much resent foreigners having large families and expecting U.S. taxpayers to foot the bill, while they evade taxes by working for cash and drive U.S. citizens to poverty, who are unable to compete with foreigners in our workforce who have no respect for our laws and who neither support their own families nor pay taxes. Proud that I voted for Brownback!!!
