AbstractThere is a growing demand for power electronics that can operate under the high temperature and high power conditions that will be encountered in applications such as Hybrid Electric Vehicles. As the coolant temperature used to dissipate heat from the electronics increases, the operation of power semiconductor devices such as Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) becomes severly limited, in order to assure that the safe operating-temperature limit of the silicon semiconductor material is not exceeded. A particular problem, related to the packaging of the IGBT modules, is the low thermal conductivity of the thermal interface materials used to bridge the interface between the IGBT module and its heat sink. Thermal interface materials (TIMs) (such as grease, gel, and phase-change materials) have low thermal conductivities, which allow the thermal interface to account for most of the total thermal resistance of an IGBT module package. This project will develop a new TIM, based upon the use of continuous, high-thermal-conductivity graphite fiber encapsulated within a compliant organic matrix. This TIM is estimated to have a thermal conductivity that is 20 to 100 times greater than that of the best available thermal grease. In Phase I, the architecture and composition of the proposed graphite-organic matrix TIM will be evaluated and optimized. The optimal graphite preform design will be determined and the optimal organix matrix material will be selected. Based upon the optimal design, a prototype TIM, suitable for use with a high power IGBT module, will be fabricated and demonstrated. Commercial Applications and other Benefits as described by the awardee: The graphite-based TIM technology should provide lower thermal resistance and thus enable thermal management solutions that improve the operating range for a wide variety of power electronic systems. Commercial applications include electric vehicles, distributed power generation systems, renewable energy systems, and power electronics for harsh environment operation

Chapter 1 : Loving Liars
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 6
Background: Font color:
He wished Dumbledore would see his potential and stop giving the job to bumbling fools who had no clue as to what they were doing.
The latest one was Gilderoy Lockhart. His mouth curled upwards as he thought of the man who loved himself too much. His blonde curling locks always framed his face and he always had exceptionally white teeth that grated on his nerves far too much.
Severus could never supress a scowl whenever he strutted by, boasting about his recent achievements. He always seemed to have a wonderful story that Severus could never believe.
One dreary Tuesday afternoon it was only the two of them in the staffroom. Severus was marking his fifth years essays and was slowly losing faith in his students. They were all complete dunces.
Lockhart on the other hand was laughing and giggling as he read his fan mail. Severus lips thinned into a knife-like line each time he heard the burst of laughter. He gripped his quill tighter and tighter until eventually he snapped, Can you be quiet? I am trying to mark.
Lockhart looked at him in surprise, his blue eyes widening. Oh, I do apologise, dear friend!. Ill be as quiet as a mouse over here. He winked and Severus felt something boiling inside of him.
We are not friends, he said shortly. He returned to his marking but before he could read the first sentence, Lockhart interrupted his thoughts once more.
Thats not a way to treat a fellow colleague, you know, Lockhart said lightly. Severus looked up and although Lockhart was smiling, he noticed a touch of sadness in his eyes. Suddenly he felt guilty.
Guilty? Severus Snape hardly ever felt guilty. Especially not for pompous gits like Gilderoy Lockhart.
Instead of replying, Severus bent his head down and continued marking the essay but he could not concentrate as he felt Gilderoys steady gaze on him.
He let out a silent gasp as he heard Gilderoy stand up and move towards him. The lounge Severus was sitting on was suddenly weighed down. Severus looked to his left and flinched as Gilderoy was sitting closer to him than he originally anticipated.
Why do you hate me so, Severus? he asked sadly. I am not an idiot, I notice things. You always avert your eyes when you see me. You constantly snap at me and you glare at me when you think Im not looking. And dont try to use the excuse of I wanted the Defense Against the Dark Arts job because I will not accept it.
What was the truth? Severus wondered. He had no clue what the truth was because truth be told it wasnt because of the job. As much as he hated to admit it, Gilderoy was right.
He cast his papers to the side. He then closed the cap on his inkwell and placed it and his quill on the table in front of them. He then faced Gilderoy, his heart beating extremely quickly.
I cant tell you, Gilderoy, he said softly.
Gilderoys eyes widened. Do you know that this is the first time that youve called me by my first name?
Severus mouth dried up in an instant. He licked his lips to bring moisture in them. Have you been keeping track? he asked to avoid answering the question.
Gilderoy smiled slyly. Maybe, he said teasingly. He scooted forwards and asked, Why? Do you wish that I had been?
I could not care less if you told me how many times Id said your name, he responded quickly. His chest was rising rapidly as he took quick breaths.
Oh my, Severus, Gilderoy gasped, are you nervous? His lips twitched into a challenging smirk.
Why would I be nervous? Severus asked, trying to keep a cool façade. He clasped his hands together and put them in his lap.
Gilderoy laughed softly. Because of this. He then reached over, tucked the long curtain of black hair behind Severus ear and gave him a soft kiss.
Severus did not respond until Gilderoy cupped his face between both hands. Severus then moved his lips against Gilderoys and placed his hands on the other mans hips.
Soon, Gilderoys tongue was pressing against Severus lower lip so he opened his mouth and pressed his own tongue against the intruder.
Unable to help himself, Severus let out a small moan. Gilderoy suddenly broke away from Severus. We shall continue this tonight. Ill be at your chambers at eleven. Be ready.
Severus was in shock. He could not respond but Gilderoy seemed to be aware of what his answer was as he strutted out the staffroom, his fan mail following him in a rush.
At ten thirty, Severus was pacing his chambers, thinking about what was going to happen. He was nervous, his heart beating madly in his chest. Hed always known Gilderoy was an attractive man, but he had not realised that he had been romantically interested in him.
And to think that Gilderoy was interested in him too It amazed Severus. Hardly anyone was ever interested in him. People tended to overlook him. He wasnt attractive, he didnt have a pleasant personality and his sexuality was less than doxy eggs.
Severus could not be still. He straightened things out, making sure they were impeccably perfect for Gilderoy even though deep down he knew Gilderoy wouldnt notice. He may have been a gorgeous man, but he was still an arrogant sod who never noticed anything that did not directly involve himself.
After cleaning his chambers one last time via the Muggle way, he looked to the clock and saw that it was five minutes to eleven.
He sat on the bed, wondering what exactly himself and Gilderoy were going to do. He knew clearly what most of it would entail, but he found himself pondering how they were going to go about it.
At eleven oclock, there was no knock at the door. Severus told himself he was being foolish. No one could turn up the exact minute.
Time passed excruciatingly slowly. Each tick of the clock made Severus think of another doubt about himself. After precisely one thousand and twenty ticks, there was a sharp rap at the door.
Severus nearly bolted to the door. He laid a hand on the doorknob and took a deep breath before slowly opening it. Gilderoy, he drawled once he saw the familiar blond curls.
Severus, Gilderoy responded coquettishly. Severus swallowed audibly. Gilderoy smirked and walked past him, closing the door with a kick of his boot.
Severus hovered by the door as Gilderoy pretended to look around the room. Severus knew that he was doing this to keep him on edge. He didnt care about the plain decorum.
You were late, Severus said stiffly, tired of the silence.
Gilderoy spun around, a smile on his face. Ah, you would think so. But I was actually outside your door, knowing you were counting each second I was late. I was seventeen minutes to be late, but of course you already knew that.
Severus didnt respond. He did know that. And he did not favour the idea of Gilderoy knowing him that well already that he could predict his actions.
Gilderoy licked his lips and smacked them. So, Severus, he said, walking closer towards him. Why are you hanging by that door all the way over there? Severus took a few reluctant steps forward. Gilderoy stretched his hand out and softly caressed Severus own hand.
Did you think about me all day? he breathed, tracing feather light patterns on Severus hand.
Severus couldnt respond. Gilderoy tutted. Severus, he said, his voice strong and loud, we cannot play this game if you do not cooperate. Now, he made his voice quiet and sensual once more, did you think about me all day? Did you think about the way we kissed in the staffroom? Did you think about how my arse fit exceptionally well in your hands? Did you think about the way that I turn you on in ways youve never known before?
Yes, Severus responded in the quietest of whispers.
Gilderoy leant forward, his mouth at Severus ear. His lips brushed his earlobe as he murmured, Louder please.
Yes, Severus said louder this time, closing his eyes at the proximity of Gilderoy.
Yes what? Gilderoy said seductively. He lightly bit Severus earlobe.
Severus gasped. Yes. I did think of you all day. I thought of the way we kissed in the staffroom. I thought of the way that your arse fit perfectly in my hands. I wondered how anyone could turn me on so much. I wondered how it could possibly be that youre attracted to me.
Gilderoy moved his lips to Severus neck and so Severus arched his neck up with a moan. How could I not be attracted to you? Gilderoy murmured into his neck.
Severus couldnt take it anymore. He gripped Gilderoys face within his hands and crushed his lips to the other mans. He spun them around so Gilderoys back was facing the bed. Their tongues pressed together incessantly and their hands were already beginning to remove each others clothing.
The two stood naked opposite each and were breathing heavily. They leant forward and began kissing once more. Severus pushed Gilderoy down on the bed and crawled on top of him, kissing him passionately.
That was their first night together.
Throughout the whole duration of the school year, Severus and Gilderoy kept their relationship a secret from everyone.
Gilderoy would wink at Severus when they walked past one another. If they were alone, he would steal a kiss or touch him playfully, and then later that night he would be reprimanded from Severus in case they would be caught and Gilderoy would apologise but repeat the same thing the very next day.
Severus secretly loved it. He would never admit it though. But his favourite part of the whole process was the aftermath. Gilderoy would place his hands in his and Severus would lean forward to kiss him and they would spend the night entwined with each other.
His hands would tangle in the golden curls, and Gilderoy would tug at the black strands of his own hair. The way he would cry out Severus name always sent shivers down his spine. The need that dripped from his voice made Severus head spin.
One night after their usual crazed passion, they were lying next together, arms and legs twisted together, their breathing quick and heavy.
Severus, Gilderoy said breathily, I think we should start to tell people of our love.
Severus sat up sharply. Gilderoy sat up slower and wrapped his hands around Severus naked waist, kissing his shoulder. What? Severus asked sharply.
Gilderoy leant forward so Severus could feel every inch of him against his back. He tried to ignore how delicious it felt. I think we should tell the truth.
Why would we do that? he asked in a tone that implied that the conversation was unwelcome. Gilderoys hand travelled up and down his thigh slowly, nearly tickling Severus but he refused to react.
Gilderoy scoffed, We are men of action. Lies do not become us.* He kissed Severus neck. Would it inconvenience you that much? I detest lying.
Severus did not move his head but his eyes flicked over to where Gilderoy was pressing light kisses on his shoulder, and biting him softly.
I think it would be inappropriate to tell people just yet. The school year is not yet over. We will wait, Severus said, indicating he did not want to talk about the issue anymore.
Gilderoy wasnt having it. Why must we hide, Severus? It is a shameful thing for one to hide who they truly are. Severus flushed. His whole life consisted of him hiding who he truly was. Was he really a shameful person?
We are work colleagues. Work colleagues do not get involved with one another, he said shortly. He had begun to feel extremely uncomfortable on the topic of lying. Gilderoy was an open book literally. He had several books depicting his unbelievable life and did not could not understand the crushing weight of the truth Severus dealt with daily.
Oh, Severus, Gilderoy said, laughing lightly, the things you miss. Work colleagues do get involved. You just dont listen.
Severus knew everything about all his colleagues. He needed to. Each bit of information kept him alive. He could not tell Gilderoy this, however, so he remained silent.
See? Gilderoy breathed. Youre thinking about it. Im right, arent I? His hands came over his shoulders and down his chest to rest on Severus hips. He placed open mouth kisses on Severus neck.
Severus still did not respond but instead turned around and captured Gilderoys lips in his own. At the end of the school year, well tell them. Please. Just wait a little longer for me. We only have two months left. Please, he begged, his hands moving quickly under the sheet.
Gilderoy could not resist Severus when he did those things. Okay. That sounds agreeable. Severus grunted in appreciation and they returned to kissing, falling onto their backs and into the mattress, the sheet dropping down their legs and tangling itself within them.
Apparently Lockharts wand backfired and now he cant remember anything, Professor Vector was saying. Its terrible but at least we wont have to deal with that man boasting every time he saw or heard about something dangerous.
Severus, only just registering what he was saying, said, What? Hes lost his memory?
Vector nodded. And theres nothing anyone can do. Hes currently in the Hospital Wing if you want to see the evidence.
Without a second thought, Severus stood up and strode out the staffroom door, his robes billowing behind him. He walked briskly to the Hospital Wing and with a dramatic flick of his wand, the doors swung open and he all but ran to Gilderoys side.
Professor Snape! Madame Pomfrey said. You gave me a bit of a fright! Are you okay?
I have come to see Lockhart, he said softly. I wanted to see if the rumours were true.
Madame Pomfrey smiled sadly. Yes, they are. The poor sod has lost all his memory. Cant even remember his own name. And he cant even remember that he wrote books. But he never did any of the things in his books At this, Severus took his eyes off of Gilderoy and looked at her in shock. Oh, yes. Hed told Potter and Weasley and then tried to use Weasleys broken wand on them to remove their memories. Apparently he did that to all those poor people who really did do those courageous things.
Severus eyes flicked down to the sleeping man in absolute betrayal. He composed himself before looking up again. Would you mind if I spoke to him alone? I wont hurt him. I just want to see natural curiosity.
Madame Pomfrey nodded in understanding. Some people could be so stupid, Severus thought nastily as she turned her back and returned to her office.
He glanced around and saw that no one was around. He let the complete hurt show on his face. You lied? he asked, knowing he wouldnt respond but he needed to say the words. His eyes filled with tears but Severus didnt allow them to spill.
He held Gilderoys hand ignoring the pang of the strong memories when Gilderoy would grab it sneakily under the professors table at dinner and squeezed it gently. You always reprimanded me for lying, and you made me feel so bad, but you were lying the whole time. You werent a brilliant wizard. Youre just a sneaky, deceitful liar.
Just like me, he finished, looking down at the soft face, not caring about the tears slowly running down his face.
Why, Gilderoy? he asked uselessly. Did you even love me? Or was that another lie?
Gilderoy didnt respond, he was still sleeping. Severus bent down and softly kissed him on the lips one last time, hoping that he would wake up and be restored, similar to those Muggle fairy tales.
He lifted his head up and squeezed his eyes shut, the tears dropping on Gilderoys chest in fat drops. Hello? Gilderoys voice came, confused.
Hello, Severus responded curtly, wiping his eyes.
Who are you? Gilderoy asked with a silly grin on his face. Severus felt his heart twang painfully at that question.
Your lover, he wanted to respond. Instead he said, Severus Snape.
Gilderoy nodded clearly not recognising the name at all. Severus Snape? Thats a nice name. Severus smiled and for a moment, there was an uncomfortable silence. Then, Who am I again?
Gilderoy Lockhart, Severus said. Gilderoy nodded, looking dreamy and Severus thought of the real answers to that question.
A liar.
But only one seemed to fit.
My love.

Welp. Hopefully you guys enjoyed this? This is definitely something I have never even thought of writing before but I think I pulled it off?
Anyway, thanks for reading!

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Pedro Martinez will make his first
rehab start for New York on Wednesday as he attempts to return to the
Mets' rotation after offseason shoulder surgery.
The 35-year-old Martinez had his rotator cuff repaired in
October and has been working toward a return all season. The
right-hander first threw to batters on June 26.
The three-time Cy Young winner was scheduled to make a rehab
start last Wednesday, but it was rained out and he instead threw a
5 1/3 innings of a simulated game against minor leaguers the
following day.
In the simulation, Martinez gave up two runs -- one earned -- and
four hits against players from the St. Lucie Mets and the Gulf
Coast League Mets. In 67 pitches, he struck out three, walked none
and hit a batter.
"Really, I thought the encouraging part for me guys was the
back of those innings," Mets general manager Omar Minaya said at
the time. "The back of those innings when he was throwing the
fastball down and away with the movement, that's Pedro."
Most of Martinez's fastballs were from 86-88 mph, Minaya said.
"Anything that we get from Pedro this year is extra," he said.
"We feel that there is a chance ... for me the guys that we have
right now, we have to plan on winning with these guys. We're not
saying that he's going to come back and be this guy that's going to
get us to the next level."
Said Martinez after the simulated game: "I'm still missing
location badly ... Actually toward the end I felt better than
starting the game, and that means I need work."

Pawlett spent most of the first half of the campaign with the Perth club and won a regular start after recovering from injury.
Brown recalled the 21-year-old winger this week after Ryan Fraser's switch to Bournemouth, and he is in contention for a place in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League visit of Hibernian on Sunday.
Brown told the club's official website: "I am constantly asked about new signings but we genuinely feel we have quality here on the staff, but that does not prevent us from trying to enhance the playing quality.
"The disappointing departure of Ryan Fraser has prompted us to recall Peter Pawlett from his successful loan spell at St Johnstone, but I spoke with Peter and in all sincerity indicated to him that whether or not Ryan had left he was being invited back to help us have a resoundingly productive end to the season.
"We'll need all hands on deck and Peter Pawlett is a talented young man who proved that in his games for the Perth side."

Skip to comments.Dreams from My Real Father
Posted on 09/29/2012 6:39:38 PM PDT by Westbrook
Today I received an unsolicited DVD in the mail entitled, "Dreams from My Real Father - A story of Reds and Deception".
It's from an organization called DFMRF, LLC having a Los Angeles address.
This is a MUST SEE documentary of Obama's origins, his upbringing, his education, and his rise to most powerful man on earth.
It's worse than you ever thought.
Americans have swallowed the Communist Lie and are prepared to propel this once great nation into something like Mao Zedong's Great Leap Forward.
Even if this video were shown on national television every night until the election, a sufficient number of people will either not believe it or not care and probably re-elect Barack 0bama (Frank Marshal Davis, Jr?).
Brace yourselves.
One difference, though. Mao's subjects were not armed.
You nailed it. The Communist have been infiltrating our government for decades now and they have finally succeeded in getting a majority believing the propaganda.
I have watched my copy several times. An eye opener for sure. Couple this with my copy of the David Horowitz booklet 'Barack Obama's Rules for Revolution" and you get a complete picture. Scary, to say the least.
Are you in Ohio? Read a million copies were being mailed out.
> Maos subjects were not armed.
Actually, they were, at first.
Millions of them died fighting the communists, and many survivors fled to what is now Taiwan. Other millions surrendered their arms, hoping to make peace with the Communists. But once you are an enemy of the Communists, you remain so until you die, usually at their hand.
Tens of millions more died during the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. I remember a Look Magazine article about the Chinese Communist revolution, published around 1953. I was a young child, and there was a photo spanning two pages of a very large field filled with perhaps thousands of headless bodies of those who had been beheaded by the Communists.
Remember, Ayers and his Weather Underground believe that at least 20 million Americans must die to accomplish their ends.
> Are you in Ohio? Read a million copies were being mailed out.
No, I'm in New Hampshire.
Only right-wing political geeks like us will understand it or even care about it.
The Obamunists have their minds made up. There is no changing them.
In fact, that's one of the main problems I have with the polls. I don't know anybody, anywhere, on either side, that is "undecided".
We need some FREE DVD's over here east of the Mississip'...
Ayers and his candy-assed Weather Underground (read "aging hippies") brethren and sisters would piss themselves if a .45 ACP was leveled at their empty heads.
That's what gets me the most about these pansies.....they'd completely s**t themselves at the first sign of armed resistance; as if they assume the entire nation will just roll over to have our throats cut will prone in the submissive position.
I knew this in '08 before the election. Our collective gooses are cooked, no pun intended.
> Ayers and his candy-assed Weather Underground (read aging
> hippies) brethren and sisters would piss themselves if a .
> .45 ACP was leveled at their empty heads.
To be honest, I surmise I would, too.
However, their friends had no problems making and detonating bombs, robbing banks, shooting it out with cops and killing a few cops.
The old cruds like Ayers and Dhorn probably won't get involved in any shootouts today, or maybe not even any easy killing, you know, like coups de grace. But I'm sure they will be able to find plenty of fervid and rabid 0bamunists who will gladly do it for them.
We need to harden our resolve to die free rather than live enslaved.
Even prior to this DVD, I've read much on the Davis/Obama relationship......I don't really know what the truth is, however, Obama comes under the title of:
Mat_7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Mat_7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
His fruit is, "The whole of the law is do what thou wilt".
Our 19 year old son received a copy at our Ohio address - we did not. Don't know if they targeted "Independents" as our son is newly registered. Probably a lot more bang for the buck to go after independents.
I hope a copy was sent to Dinesh D'Souza.
I, too, found the video very interesting an it brought up some theories I hadn't considered, and they make perfect sense.
I hadn't considered Obama had had rhinoplasty, but it's pretty obvious he has had very well done nose work. If not, his nose would have spread half way across his face by now, just like his father Frank Marshall Davis's did. (Michelle, even more obviously, has had TONS of work done, nose as well as lips and who knows what all.) I know Obama has had serious work done on his front teeth as I've seen old pictures and videos where he wouldn't even show his teeth and now he's smiling like howdy doodie all the time.
It's an interesting movie and I'm not one to recommend any movie. It brought up a lot of new ideas about Obama's past.
However, I still think he's a real Manchurian candidate and the boy known as Barack Obama may not be the man known as Barack Obama, if you get my drift. The guy just isn't a real American; there are things about him that are "off."
I just noticed last night that Dreams from My Real Father is on Netflix.
That was a long time ago. I'm sure the figure has been adjusted to meet inflation.
The infiltration has been going on for a long, long time. It was already going on in the nineteen thirties, forties and fifties. There were THREE investigations of communists, the Dies Committee, the House Unamerican Activities Committee and finally the Army McCarthy hearings. Senator McCarthy exposed how the communists had been infiltrating every kind of group you could possible think of including churches. When the left turned on McCarthy like a pack of hyennas, they destroyed his name,all people remember about him was the unfair term of "McCarthyism". The cover of that term "McCarthyism" is what has given the left fifty years to systematicaly burrow into all of our instititions. We can see it today in the Democratic Party, the universities and the media.
If you haven't read it already get "Blacklisted by History", the story of Joseph McCarthy by M. Stanton Evans.
I live in Massachusetts where just about everyone I know is a Democrat yet several people that I have known for many years, who are Democrats, are saying that they will not be voting for Obama.
It's also on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaHNlS_8Qh8
One of the Soviets said that they would package communism as liberalism and the American people would accept it.
I graduated from a Christian university in 1949. I am certain there were at least two socialist/communist professors there at that time. The communist aim was to infiltrate schools at all levels (especially colleges and universities), churches, entertainment, and journalism. They have been tremendously successful and the people of this country have been totally oblivious to that fact.
Well, it looks like Obama's thought police have gotten to Netflix, because it's gone. I knew I should have watched it last night. Thank you for the Youtube link.
Are you in Ohio? Read a million copies were being mailed out.
Obama will get at least a million votes in Ohio because that is how many free phones he gave out there from our pockets.
I suspect that many of the recipients of the 0bama phones would be incapable of comprehending the dvd. If brains were dynamite, they wouldn't have enough to blow their noses.
Any remedy to the communist infusion into the USA societal structure was not helped by the way/manner Eisenhower jumped all over Joe McCarthy.
Today the word to shut us up is Racism. It too has worked for a long time, but has been stretched very thin. What's next?
You can stream the movie on Amazon for less than $3 or free if you are a prime customer.
Hope it stays up there.
It is online on other sites - I've seen it already
(I'm in a solid Blue state and will never get one in the mail ;)
With all these DVD's out there - the young will grab it and watch, record and put more on the net.
This movie is conjecture - '2016' is based on a composite book.
One thing is certain - we have an Enigma President in full view.
I hardened my resolve to kill them and live free. I suspect most of the 88 million or so people with long guns feel the same .................................................... FRegards
See my reply at post 24. It was there Friday, but it's been removed.
I watched it on youtube. I read stuff about Obama all the time and there were things in it that I had not seen. I'm glad that they got Ayers on video admitting that he wrote "Dreams From My Father". That was a nice touch.
Wathced the movie on YouTube (Ourcommunistcommanderinchief") and tell you the movie explains a lot about Odumbo. The history behind it will leave you with many previous questions answered. It is scary indeed what Odumbo has been able to accomplish and what he has yet to complete should he be re-elected. There is no doubt in my mind that he is a Muslim and worse. Frank Davis taught him well and he is now carrying the torch without objection. What is most disturbing is the movie is just now surfacing and being disgusted. Everyone needs to see it and inform their friends to watch it. Odumbo MUST BE REMOVED.
Hopefully the fraud will be voted out in November and we will have many, many years of fascinating reading as all the shoes begin to drop. Obama has more shoes than a centipede. LOL

I don't know how many times I have heard the word "McCarthyism" over the years. It is almost always on television. If it were not for television, much of this leftist propaganda would not have been so widespread and powerful.
I read that Eisenhower was promoted by Roosevelt, so had a loyalty to him and that he was angry with McCarthy for touching the Army which was his baby.
It was a three strikes and you're out for the establishment because they were caught twice before and both times they promished to clean up the problem and here was McCarthy exposing the lies of both the Roosevelt and Truman administrations once again. Notice how all of the Democrats came to the aid of their party and the Republicans split along RINO/conservative lines. The RINOS can always be counted on to come to the aid of the establishment.

Dear Nancy,
I worked in a hospital with a certified nurse midwife. There was a situation in which a patient came to the unit complaining of contractions. She previously had a cesarean section and had been followed by an MD during her pregnancy. The CNM and a staff nurse assessed the patient, and the CNM gave me the report because I was the charge nurse. I later found out she did not share all the details. The patient was unassigned, and she wanted to have a VBAC, so the midwife told me she was going to discharge her to go to the hospital where her physician delivers. I asked if we would transfer the patient, but the CNM said she could drive herself. That answer led me to believe the patient was not dilated, bleeding, in pain or her strip was nonreactive. I asked the patient for her OK to remove her from the monitor to go, and she said yes. I went to triage to inform the nurse caring for the patient the CNM had given an order to discharge her. This was verbal but also written down.
I later found out the hospital had been fined $75,000 for this discharge because of an EMTALA violation. Apparently the patient was dilated 4 cm, but neither the CNM nor her nurse told me. Now, the facility is claiming I am at fault. I had to go to peer review for the first time in my 25 years as an RN. I resigned my position as suggested by legal counsel, because I was asked to step down as charge and take anger management classes. The lawyer said I was in the hot seat because the CNM could make money for the hospital, and he felt they would try to fire me. I later found out from a physician the CNM was practicing out of scope. My peer review results were sent to the board with the recommendation no action taken, but I can't get a job since resigning. When I apply for a job, employers are very excited about hiring me until they talk to my previous employer. What should I do?
Nancy Brent replies:
Dear Karen,
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) is an important federal law that must be followed. As you know, it prohibits facilities that receive Medicare and Medicaid funds from dumping patients because of their inability to pay for ED services. Before any transfer of a patient occurs, the patient must be screened and stabilized. Specific requirements also exist for the transfer.
One of the things you probably learned through this experience is that because each nurse licensee is responsible for his or her own conduct, one can never rely on anothers assessment or blindly follow an order, especially when involved in an ED where the staff may not have adhered to EMTALA requirements. Another lesson you should carry with you is that ones documentation of an event such as this must be complete, factual and support the decision to transfer a patient in accordance with EMTALA. Your assessment of the patient before discharge would have been essential.
Finding a new job when something like this happens is difficult. However, when interviewing for a new job, it is best to be honest about what happened and what you learned from your experience. The what was learned part of the interview might be helpful with the next potential employer, so they realize you did learn from this situation and it most likely will not occur again.

Probably the most influential and imitated rock band of the 20th century, these four men from England shaped not only music to this day, but started a youth revolution during the 1960's that gave the "under 30 crowd" many of the freedoms we still enjoy today. Those who disagree are either ignorant or jealous.

I have this concept in my portfolio. i did it a while ago. thank god i posted it on the adsoftheworld forum or people might not believe me.
same concept (very similar) different execution. i was planning on simplifying the execution.
My question is: can i keep this in my portfolio now???
I wouldn't. The execution of this is really nice, so it helps pay off the ad. The concept is "first territory" so unless you have an amazing execution to back it up like this one, it's not very fresh.

Immigration Reform Really, Truly Happening
When Republicans actually decide to pass a bill, they don't mess around.
Senate Republicans are coalescing around a bipartisan immigration reform plan. Okay, you say — but they're Senate Republicans, not the truly crazy variety. John Stanton reports that House Republicans also have an immigration reform plan. A bipartisan one, not a round-up-all-the-Mexicans kind of plan.
It's pretty amazing how fast this has happened. Republican leaders recognized an electoral weakness, figured it was on an issue they didn't want to fight on anyway, and are cauterizing the wound as fast as they can.

The Effects of CCNU on Dogs
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I would like to get information about an oral chemotherapy drug called "CCNU". I would like to know the pros and cons before giving it to my 10 year old Boxer. She has been diagnosed with a mast cell tumor on the lower part of her hind leg, near the foot. Any information you give me would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely worried,
Lili Duda, VMD, Editor of the OncoLink Veterinary Oncology Section, responds:
In general, chemotherapy is used in mast cell tumors under two general circumstances. First it is used when the primary tumor is treated "definitively" with surgery with or without radiation therapy, but there are some concerns that there may be metastasis (or spread of the tumor) beyond the site of the primary tumor. Second, chemotherapy can be used to treat a large tumor that is untreatable by surgery and/or radiation, or for tumors that have spread elsewhere in the body.
There is no single or combination chemotherapy protocol that has a high efficacy against mast cell tumors once they have become very large or have spread. Also, we do not know what the best chemotherapy options is/are to manage potentially small amounts of tumor that MIGHT have spread. Traditionally, most oncologists have relied on prednisone (cortisone) either as a solitary drug or combined with other drugs. Every oncologist has their own preferred protocol (for example, one combination protocol uses two chemotherapy drugsvinblastine and cyclophosphamidealong with prednisone). However, no large studies have been done to date.
CCNU (Lomustine) is not a new drug. It has been used in both dogs and humans for quite a while in a variety of tumors. What is relatively new is its use in mast cell tumors. There are some prelimary results that suggest that CCNU might be of some use in mast cell tumors. One of the appeals of CCNU is that it is given orally so that trips to the veterinarian can be minimized. However, it is important to monitor blood cell counts and to contact your veterinarian immediately if your pet has side effects such as vomiting, lethargy, or loss of appetite.

Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
All December long, I will be doing daily installments of Comic Theme Time. Comic Theme Time is a twist on the idea of a "Top Five" list. Instead of me stating a topic and then listing my top five choices in that topic, I'm giving you the topic and letting you go wild with examples that you think fit the theme.
Today's topic is "what is the best superhero/supervillain/superhero team/supervillain team that has a pun for a name?"
Some examples include Atom Eve, Major Disaster, Force of July and Cloak and Dagger.
What's your pick?
Along with AtomEve, I thought DupliKate & RexSplode were funny. You already mentioned my favorite, Force of July. I'll add Duke of Oil. Mike Barr: Punmaster.
Does Strong Guy count?
Well there's also Havok, and Wolvesbane.
This one has to be a tie for me. Either it's Scott Free, or Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spder-Ham!
Rex Splode. This is not up for debate.
Scott Free. Gotta be.
Super Ann (Centaur Comics)
Most of the names in Invincible are fantastic.
One of my favourites though is the villain Raging Woody from Savage Dragon.
No heroes come to mind, but for villains I give the prize to Turner D. Century.
Well you can't get more basic than 'Box/Bochs'
Also Smart Alec
Batmanuel from The Tick TV show….American Maid, too…
More Tick: El Seed
And Man-Eating Cow became Apocolypse Cow on the TV show…
Wasn't there a character in Cerebus that was a parody of Swamp Thing called Sump Thing? It was right before High Society started.
Alec Tronn and Nova Kane, of course!
Empowered by Adam Warren
A heroine who is everything but being empowered. She is highly self concious about her looks. Her supersuit tears too easily and leaves her powerless. It protects her from all harm somehow but still allows her ot be humiliated on a regular basis.
Of course, we need to show some love for the Flash villain, Rainbow Raider, who's real name is "Roy G. Bivolo".
Definitely someone from Invincible. Dupli-Kate, Multi-Paul, Rex Splode, Atom Eve, Shrinking Ray…
Not sure we should count names in series like The Tick that are meant to be parodies.
From the old Ultraverse series The Strangers there was Atom Bob and Electrocute
For real names, E. Nigma and T.O. Morrow stand out. Green Arrow and Black Canary once fought an old hillbilly woman who could control gravity. Her nephews/henchmen named her "Auntie Gravity." (Actually a better story than it sounds.)
Frank Einstein.
Does Strong Guy count?
Well there's also Havok, and Wolvesbane.
Those aren't puns, are they?
Seems like we need to distinguish secret identity names (which are puns by the creators) from code names (which are, ostensibly, puns knowingly committed by the characters)
Does "Hitman" count? [And then Kirkman made basically the same joke with "Wolf-Man".]
Scott Free FTW! While we're at it though, cosmic DC and Marvel is full of puns because, I guess, alien languages become witty when translated to English.
Darkseid? If we're allowing for pronunciation. Apokolips also.
Major Victory….Mar-Vell, Genis-Vell, Phyla-Vell…..Kallark (Gladiator's real name)
Heavy Flo.
King Faraday.
Ursa Major the Soviet superhero who could turn himself into a bear. It's a pun because in the Russian military he had the rank of major and his real name was Ursis. So Ursa Major was really Major Ursis.
@Rob Schmidt "Not sure we should count names in series like The Tick that are meant to be parodies."
Might have to disagree with you…one man's parody is another's superhero….
definitely atom eve or rex plode.
Ellsie Dee (LCD), the robot girl from Hamma's Wolverine run.
What about Jonn J'onzz? And how about richard "Don't call me Dick" Rider?
I forgot about Elsie Dee. Dangit.
Mighty N. Dowd. PAD at his worst.
Darkseid and Scott Free
Would Kamandi count, or was his name coming from the "Command D" bunker a retcon?
E(dward) Nigma
Harley Quinn
Would Victor von Doom count?
What was Thomas smoking (or his editors drinking) when they approved All-Star Squadron (note the unfortunate acronym)?
One that might fly right over your heads –
Thunderbolts – given they were founded by Baron Zemo while he was still in "I want to be my father" mode (was the WWII Zemo in the SS?), given the lightning bolts insignia of the SS?
For character's whose real name is a pun, My absolute favorite is Jack Russell, Werewolf By Night.
A couple more worth mentioning from the early issues of Young Justice.
Nina Dowd who becomes The Might Endowed
Special Agents Fite and Maad. Of course Fite has a daughter, Anita.
And they crossed over with David's other creation Spyboy to fight the japanese villain, Ani Mae.
And Mentioning the invincible character Dupli-kate, don't forget her brother Multi-paul.
My least favorite is Rick Jones super powered identity, A-bomb. (he got his power from a nuclear explosion and he looks like the villain abomination…)
@Jay Tea
I read through all the comments (many of which aren't even close to being puns) to mention that one. At least I can point out that her villain name was Mighty Endowed and her real name was Nina Dowd (i.e., "N. Dowd").
A little off topic: Like J above, I've always found it weird how often alien characters have names taken from English phrases or Earth words (Didn't Granny Goodness actually give Mr. Miracle the name Scott Free because he kept escaping from things? Meaning it's not even a coincidence – she actually knew the Earth expression. Maybe that was written out of his backstory (blahblahblah New 52) or maybe it was something someone came up with long after the character was created to explain why Highfather's son would be named "Scott Free" that was never widely accepted, but I'm sure I read that somewhere).
A recent episode of Young Justice had the Forever People, and they explained away Big Bear (named after an animal that doesn't exist on Earth so he picked a similar Earth animal, which is sort of like Wolverine saying "just call me Badger if you don't know what a wolverine is"), and Serifan dressing like a cowboy (you guessed it: obsessed with Earth TV), but didn't bother explaining Beautiful Dreamer being named after an Earth song.
when the former Captain America became USAgent, they changed his civilian idendity from John Walker to Jack Daniels.
King Faraday, for sure. Most of these suggestions aren't puns.
The Neutron Bum.
Neutron Bum may be my fave (or even Neutron Bob) but I also enjoyed Deadly Ernest and Poppa Wheelie.
The Juggernaut: Cain Marko = "Mark of Cain."
Steve Gerber's corporate villain from "Man-Thing": F.A. Schist. (When I first read those stories as a kid, I didn't know the word "fascist," so it wasn't until I reread them years later that I got it.)
Another Gerber pun name: Booster Cogburn from "Destroyer Duck." A thinly-disguised attack on John Byrne for being a corporate "booster" who's satisfied to be a "cog" in the machine, as well as a reference to Rooster Cogburn in "True Grit."
Batroc the Leaper: The stereotypically French villain takes his name from "batrachian," meaning "frog-like."
One of my favorites is an obscure hero from Dave Cockrum's "The Futurians": A lightning-bolt tossing hero named Doctor Zeus. I particularly liked that one because it works completely independently of the pun; if you didn't get the Dr. Seuss reference, it's still a perfectly good name for a lightning-based hero.
Oh, and then there's the Spider-Man villain The Spot, whose real name is Jonathan Ohnn…"Johnny-on-the-spot!"
The real name of my favorite Batman villain, Calendar Man, is Julian Day. So good!
A lot of the G.I. Joe characters had codenames that were deliberate puns, but it had to do with their specialties. Some include:
-Barbecue (firefighter)
-Breaker and Dial-Tone (communications)
-Blowtorch, Charbroil, and Ice Cream Soldier (flamethrower)
-Psyche-Out (deceptive warfare)
-Faces (infiltrator)
-Dusty (desert trooper)
-Low-Light (Night Spotter)
-Cover Girl (tank driver who used to be a fashion model)
-Doc, Lifeline, and Stretcher (medic)
-Tripwire (mine detector)
-Alpine (mountain trooper)
-Ambush (concealment specialist)
-And my favorite, the ninja T'Gin-Zu (I'll give you three guesses where his name came from…)
When you mentioned Force of July in the article, I thought of Duke of Oil, and then right in the first comment, Mike Loughlin brings it up. Dang!
The other one I can think of might be (and I only know this because someone else pointed it out on a different post a while back) is the XMen character Psylocke. Her powers involve her psyche (Psi-key), and the name is changed to Psi-lock (pronunciation-wise, that is).
When whoever it was posted that, I FINALLY "got" her name, because until then it never made sense to me (not that I was, y'know, thinking about it a lot. Like with the focused totality of my thinking or nothin'…)

-And my favorite, the ninja T'Gin-Zu (I'll give you three guesses where his name came from…)
I am asking this because I am sincerely curious as to whether I am the one who is wrong or not, but aren't nicknames or code names or handles something very different than puns? To me, only the T'Gin-Zu one comes across as a pun, which I always thought of us a play on words, a double meaning. Everything else on the list seems to be a clever nickname. That goes for a lot of other names in the comments section as well.
Oh, PAD. Never heard of Mighty N. Dowd. He also came up with Skang Kee Ho as a villainess in Marvel Mangaverse's Punisher.
What's the pun in "Super Ann"? Been sounding it out and still can't figure out why that's a pun.
RE: Psylocke: on her pink costume, are assorted trapezoids at the throat, belly button, and knees… I think these were supposed to visually reference the hole that you normally see on padlocks.
I agree with Erich, it's Johnny Ohnn, aka The Spot. Whether they are actually puns or not, there are a lot of good ones.
Merry Christmas to all.
True Blood character names are usually and anagram hinting their involvement in the story, does that count?
Of course it doesn't count, it's an anagram, not a pun. Forget it.
Empowered was already mentioned, but hers was actually one of the least punny names in her series. That brilliant and massively underappreciated book has some great groanworthy names like:
– Jugganaut, a busty strongwoman
– Baron Womb (supervillain)
– Blunt Trauma (a pro-pot-legalization strongman)
– Hand Cholo (who had a giant hand instead of a head)
– Crimera – or don't portmanteaus count? This one was a criminal chimera
– Crowquet, a crow-themed supervillain who wields a croquet sticket
And many others. If you haven't read Empowered yet, do yourself a favor and get it, because it's far superior to over 90% of the Big Two's current output.
Well I always thought Havok was a pun for Havoc (since he can't control his powers w/o his suit) and a werewolf named Wolvesbane?
Havok is simply an alternate spelling of the word havoc; wolfsbane is the name of an actual plant once thought to repel werewolves. They're not puns because there's no double meaning.
Ah, Xombi had a ton of these:
~ Nun of the Above.
~ Nun the Less (from the recent mini).
~ There was a character (in the same mini) who died from a book-related disease: semi colon cancer.
~ There was a hand-shaped assassin from issue 7 of the original run called Manuel Dexterity.
Xombi rocks!!!
(Excalibur also rocks (tho' nothing to do with this thread, was championing it earlier))
Jon C (the 2nd Jon C on this forum, as it turns out)
I'm amazed that noone mentioned Big Sir
Starfire's family was a brood of puns: Koriand'r, Komand'r, and Myand'r

More broadly though, what about birth control for the uninsured?
Dont fret. This group will not only provide your birth control but pay you to use it.
Some people need to insist their partners use condoms. But college is a good time for women to perfect anal sex, too.
If that's not cheery enough, how about this?
As if $500 is nearly enough. Doesn't this guy know it costs $15k?
Poor Americans. :(
Wait, you still had to pay when you were in college? Gah.
Erica needs birth control?
That's bullshit. If you have a job you can afford birth control. $600/year is not that much. You don't have to have sex anyway.
The article says -
"There, he said, women are paying about $22 per month for prescriptions that cost $10 a few months ago. "
then a few paragraphs down -
"Many students could shift to generics but experts said they might still pay twice the previous rate. "
Um, so we're talking about the cost going from $10/month to $20/month? Sorry, but that's hardly an outrage.
I went to a commuter school where no one was rich and most of the kids still spent more than that at Starbucks in an average week.
Commuter school? Like the UW?
$10 vs. $20 was a huge deal when I was in school. I didn't make any money and my folks were kind enough to pay for tuition, but I was strapped for cash most of the time.
Mom insisted I get on the pill during college and I'm glad I listened to her. Never had an unplanned pregnancy.
Chris @ 7, I hope to god you've been looking to Garrison Keillor for hints on appropriate sarcasm. Otherwise, your ignorance is ridiculous.
The rest of us should subsidize college students' sex lives because why? Because, Erica says, if we don't the college students will fuck up their lives and make us pay even more for their mistakes. Is that a threat?
There are two sides to the coin of sexual freedom. The government doesn't keep you from getting your jollies. And you don't ask the government to pay for them.

Sorry for the tripple-post. I got weird server errors.
Ah, yes, the straw man argument that was raised at Pandagon last week is raised here by David Wright. Of course, no one is subsidizing "sex lives". It might not have occurred to you, but "sex lives" happen without any government intervention at all. This might come as a surprise to you, but humans fuck. We always have and we always will. Despite all of the grand ideas of spiritual advisers and philosophers, basically that's what we're here on earth to do - perpetuate the species. If something cool happens beyond that, then grand. Sex is the primal drive.
Government isn't subsidizing sex lives. The sex lives happen regardless. Rather, government is providing, at low co-pay costs, a method of preventing pregnancies. Pregnancy can have even graver effects on both the woman and on the health care system. You know the philosophy of HMOs? That an ounce of prevention now wards off extreme costs in the future and, in turn, creates a healthier population? That's what we're addressing here.
Rather than attempt to frame it as funding for sex, try thinking of it as funding for a healthier student population and a way to keep health care costs down.
Some male partners should insist on using condoms, it should not be just the woman's responsibility. College students may be smart enough to use BOTH condoms and the pill.
And thanks B.D @15 for the comments.
The long term solution here is for women to realize how repulsive men and stop fucking them.
Believe me, sisters, it's far more liberating than the pill.
I like how they claim "cutting costs" to "lower the deficit" when it comes to women's health. That's like trying to empty the ocean with a teacup. They don't seem to have a problem with the budget when it comes to billion $ no-bid contracts for "reconstruction" in Iraq.
How's that going btw?
I'm a straight man, and I have to say, I agree with Ambivalent @17. I honestly don't understand why all women aren't lesbians. Men are hairy and smelly and ugly, and that's just mentally. I look at guys -- I don't care if it's George Clooney or Johnny Depp or Ron Jeremy -- and I can't see why any woman, or gay man, would be interested. I mean, I'm glad they are, and I guess it's a testament to the power of primal urges over rational thought, but it is a mystery.
The more people of relative privilege lose their benefits, the faster the real issue of national health care will be addressed. On average I'd bet those women of the same age not in college pay more and have less access to health care across the board. Full priced BC seems only to be around $20 - $50 but if this gets the female college students and their fans excited about health care, that's good.
What form of birth control costs $50 a month? Forgive the question if it's ignorant but I can't think of a birth control method that would cost that much. I've been on Nuvaring and various pills and neither of those methods hit anything like $50 a month.
Eloquent writing aside, Chris and David can go fuck themselves. See? No birth control needed.
What? If taxpayers don't subsidize college students' birth control then college students won't use birth control?
By the same reasoning, if taxpayers don't subsidize college students' groceries then college student won't eat?
If you don't eat you die. If you don't use birth control you get pregnant. What don't you understand Stefan?
I would not have been able to AFFORD birth control at $45 a month in college (or any other kind of health care that cost that much), Stefan. Therefore, yes, if taxpayers don't subsidize student health care, students will not use health care.
The "we shouldn't subsidize students' sex lives" straw argument has been addressed well above. Let me add, though, that women pay on average 68% more for their health care than men because woman-specific health care costs (gynecologist appointments, birth control) are frequently considered unimportant compared to man-specific vanity drugs (hair growth medication, boner pills) and health care issues that affect women AND men.
The horse has been farily well flogged by now, but I'll add that as a taxpayer I would love it if birth control was utterly free to all -- and actively promotyed. The cost is a pittance compared to what we end up spending otherwise.
THANK YOU gnossos!
usaa insurance
Seriously, why is birth control more special than books, rent, food, etc? Why single that out for a subsidy? And why for college students? Why not need-based instead? Plenty of poor women working at Wal-Mart. And if a gal can't afford 'em, why not make her boyfriend/husband pay? After all, if it weren't for him, she wouldn't need the pills.

"Anything I did," Elson said, "I always had to have people around me, trying to look over me and see if everything was all right."
Another reminder always was within reach.
He dubbed it his "S.O.S." chain, and it came with instructions in case of medical emergency: "All the descriptions of what I had was in this little medallion I had around my neck."
After a while, Elson had had enough.
He didn't care if anyone was willing to give him permission or watch over him.
"I never really played, or did anything," Elson said. "Then one day I just got sick of it, and I used to sneak out of the house and just go play basketball on my own."
It wasn't long before he was busted, and the one whose feelings mattered most found out.
"Somebody told her they saw me playing outside, and she asked me what I was doing," said Elson, his voice sounding now as if he'd just been caught. "I said I just played a little bit, and she asked me if I really wanted to play."
He did.
The pain of her loss hurt no less.
But Orsine, Francisco suggested, knew then it was time to loosen the strings and finally share the secret.
"He (Patrick) told my mom if I ever played that I never should stop playing," Elson said. "They (his mother and sister) told me he didn't want me to stop playing basketball.
"He talked to my mom, and he told her I had something going on, because I was fast. He probably saw something nobody else saw."
Well, maybe there were a few.
Francisco acknowledged as much, though not before a deep breath and a long pause.
"Other people," he said, "also said, 'Why don't you come back and play basketball? Your brother probably would have liked it if you came back.' "
Before Orsine would give her blessing, however, she demanded a battery of tests.
Just to be sure.
Things didn't go well.
"We did all the exams — heart exams, specialists," he said. "And they discovered a leaky valve."
Francisco's aortic valve wasn't closing properly, causing blood to leak backward and forcing his heart to work harder.
If it toiled too much, it could become enlarged.
But even knowing that didn't stop him.
A scout in Europe saw Francisco play, and before he knew it he was trying out for the Dutch national team he now captains.
American coaches caught wind of him via a basketball magazine and he wound up at Kilgore College in Texas.
Still, there was a hurdle to be cleared.
It was huge, and had little to do with his decidedly limited basketball skills and similarly limited ability to speak English.
He needed medical clearance.
Initially, Elson couldn't get it.
The staff at Kilgore heard about his brother and thought, "No way."
"We were not aware of (Patrick's passing) until Francisco explained it to us," then-Kilgore coach Scott Schumacher said, "and that's why we were so cautious."
Francisco, unable to take part in preseason practice, was devastated.
"They killed my whole dream for playing basketball, and pursuing my brother's dream," he said.

The Supreme Court Friday also upheld decisions in two Topeka murder cases.
The first involved Carl Baker, convicted of murder and kidnapping in the June 2006 death of homeless advocate David Owen.
Baker had appealed his life sentence on the murder charge and 19-years for kidnapping.
Owens body was found near the Kansas River near a campsite used by homeless people.
Three others were also convicted in Owen's death.
The court also upheld a life sentence for Gregory Walls.
He was convicted in the 1993 murder of Timothy Walls at a central Topeka apartment complex.
Gregory Walls argued he didn't get a speedy trial.

News Gay Activist Leader: Gov. Gregoire
posted by June 7 at 16:46 PMon
Over at their web site, The Faith and Freedom Network (formerly Washington Evangelicals for Responsible Government), Washington's very own conservative Christian activist group, had this to say about Gov. Gregoire's proclamation about June as GLBT Pride month.
Here's the crux of it:
The secularist left and the gay activists could not find a more true and faithful leader than Christine Gregoire.
One has to wonder if the Governor will proclaim next December as Christian Pride month with displays and endorsements or perhaps, since June, a month traditionally known for heterosexual marriages is now the annual gay pride plus month, perhaps July or August could be designated as heterosexual month.
It isnt likely.

Related Information
The burden of cancer has been on the increase over the past few decades. In 2012 alone, 8.2 million people worldwide were estimated to have died from cancer. More than two thirds of these deaths occurred in low- and middle- income countries.
The most common cancers in the African Region are cancers of the cervix, breast, liver and prostate as well as Kaposi's sarcoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
The rise in the number of cases of cancer is due to ageing populations and the increasing adoption of risk behavior such as: consumption of unhealthy diets, lack of physical exercise, harmful use of alcohol and tobacco use. In the African Region, infections due to human papillomavirus and hepatitis B and C viruses significantly contribute to the burden of the top two cancers, namely cervical and liver cancer respectively.
Many lives can be saved if appropriate investment is made in raising public awareness on the early signs and symptoms of common cancers. In addition people should adopt healthy lifestyles that reduce the risk of cancers.

Billy Joel
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
William Martin "Crushin' Ice" Joel (born May 9, 1949) is an American master of music, piano man, and club owner. He had a successful career in cheesy pop music, producing popular singles such as "Piano Man", "Woflman Jack", and "We Didn't Start the Fire".
edit Early life
Billy was born and raised in Brooklyn. At a young age, he was kidnapped by Little Richard, who locked him in a dungeon below the streets of New York with nothing but a piano for 6 years. The correct keys would light up on the piano, while incorrect playing would be rewarded with electric shocks. Billy practiced and practiced, and developed an innate sense of pianism.
edit Musical career
Billy was signed to his first contract at 7 years old by Purple Hat Records. With them he released his first Worldwide Number One Hit Give me my Piano, Man. The song featured Dr Dre and Weird Al Yankovic and also helped launch each of their solo careers. His other well-known songs include the runaway hit "Scenes from an Iraqi Restroom", which deals with the acute shortage of toilet paper in Iraq. His most famous song was the well known (in Guildford) White Wedding, a controversial yet alluring song about marrying his sister, then spending the honeymoon humping away in New Mexico, which isn't that far from the World Famous, "We'll vomit all ova' ya'!" brothel, often thought to be the birthplace of Nuckworth Chorley.
His second solo album "Tiananmen" was named after the square in China, despite there being no mention of it in the album. Since Joel was living in China at the time of recording, it is believed the Chinese government censored all of the anti-communist imagery. This would account for the 30 minutes of silence that follow the second track, and precede the last 2 minutes 34 seconds of the final track. The theory of intervention buy the Chinese government is just speculation a this time, but you'd have to be an idiot to not see the obvio-... (Article unfinished: author hit with poison dart).
In 1981, Joel released his five-part concept album Songs in the Attic Parts I-V. The concept was based on a dream Joel had, where he was at home and strange music was playing in the attic.
Joel continued with the release of I aint the Entertainer! and Don't ask Questions, Especially Why. These drove Billy's popularity through the roof and the money he made from them helped re-shingle his home. It was during this time that he first experimented with Vodka and discovered that it reacted with Francium Fluoride. Contrary to popular belief, his song Christie Lee off of the album My Innocence, Ma'am, was not about the bitch he was living with at the time, Christie Lee Brinkley, but was actually about Geddy Lee, Christie simply being the pet name Joel had given him.
His next album, Storm Front Porch, contained some hints at his secret communist regime, such as the track Lenin's Grad(uation) and Shameless (Communist Lovers). Some people still dispute the idea, claiming that he was simply using an extended metaphor, comparing famous communists to New Yorkers and pimps. 27 years later, he released his last album, River of Dreams and Other Marijuana Induced Indigo Visions.
edit Life as a Pimp
Joel recorded successfully for several years before indulging in his childhood fantasy of being a major pimp. He quickly attracted the grandest collection of whores in the United States. This angered former Pimp Lord Charlie Sheen and lead to the brief, but extremely bloody, War of the Bling, by the end of which Sheen's troupe of prostitutes was reduced to include only two D-list entertainers, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Pee Wee Herman.
Joel began to build his Nightclub Empire with the construction of the Post-Modern Glass House where he now spends most of his time. Bouncers at the club are ordered to never let the Male to Female ratio below 1:8, as such men are sometimes forced to wait for months in order to gain access to the club. Nevertheless, all agree it was worth the wait. Joel has built numerous other clubs and visits them occasionally in order to acquire more women to bring back to the Glass House. His other clubs include My Life on 52nd Street, NY, Storm Front in Leningrad (for those Russian Chicks), Nightlife Serenader in Allentown, PA, and The Downeaster Pimp in his hometown of Cold Spring Harbor.
To this day, his flowing hair and tall stature attract all women in the world. One look at Billy Joel, and no matter what, if you're a female, you're gonna wanna tap that. No lie. It's like he wears Sex Panther or something.
edit Arson Controversy
Despite his claims to the contrary, evidence supports the conclusion that Billy Joel did, in fact, start the fire. No verdict has yet been reached in the arson trial which began in the spring of 3234. Main Article: Billy Joel Arson Controversy

Recently, i installed FreeBSD for work and geli for encryption. (Full disk encyrption without boot partition.) When I finished getting it setup, I found that every time it boots, I need to enter the parse password to mount the root disk.
This is not for my needs. I just want my system to boot automatically, so i can ssh to it. But when others shutdown my machine, and try to use another freeBSD system to mount my disk, they can't. If they mount the partition with another FreeBSD system, they can only see /boot dir. All files are secure!
Is my concept possible? (To have an encrypted system boot automatically if mounted by another system?) And if so, how do I do it with freeBSD?
