Altoona's Mulhern, Wagner earn first medals
SHIPPENSBURG – The ghosts of the past paved the way for the medals of the present for a pair of Altoona Area High School senior girls in field events at the PIAA Track and Field Championships on Saturday at Seth Grove Stadium.
Pole vaulter Hannah Mulhern and triple jumper Abby Wagner both won the first PIAA medals of their career, and they might well have been worth waiting for. Mulhern claimed the silver medal, while Wagner finished fourth in her event by beating her previous personal record more than once.
Both were in Class AAA competition.
In all, five area girls reached the medal stand on the meet's second and final day. Bellwood-Antis' Ellen Crook placed fifth in the Class AA girls 1600-meter run, and Bishop Carroll's Britt Krug and Penn Cambria's Jadyn Tiracave finished fifth and seventh, respectively, in the Class AA javelin.
"I would never guess [when I started vaulting] that I'd ever be at the state meet competing as one of the top-seeded athletes. Coming out second is like a dream come true," Mulhern said.
Mulhern's top height was 12 feet. Hempfield's Bridget Guy took home the gold with a 12-6 height; seven girls went out after making 12-0.
"It's awesome," Mulhern said. "This is something I've come back from last year. I had a really bad meet last year, so it's good to come out runner-up this year."
In 2013, Mulhern entered the meet seeded second. However, she was eliminated more than a foot lower than the 12-3 she jumped at the District 6 meet and wound up tied for 10th with five other girls, out of the medals.
Mulhern said she learned a lesson from that experience.
"I came into the meet last year way too confident. I was seeded second last year. I came in a little more relaxed this year. I knew that I had a good advantage, and I was up there with some of the other girls," Mulhern said.
Although Mulhern was the top seed this year, she didn't put too much stock into that. State seedings are based solely on performances at various district meets, which were skewered by the weather 10 days ago.
"I knew I couldn't be too confident because I came in seeded 12-5, but other girls here had done 12-6 or 12-8. I calmed myself down and set myself up for that," Mulhern said.
Mulhern, who has been pole vaulting since eighth grade, credited Rob Wahl's instruction and her gymnastics background helping her to progress from what she called a "really bad" vaulter to a state runner-up. She felt like last year was a missed opportunity that she put right on Saturday.
"Last year, a state medal was way achievable for me. It just didn't play out at this meet. It was really bad weather, and I just had a bad meet in general," Mulhern said. "This year, I knew I could do it. I knew I could go up with the other girls."
Wagner has been a regular at the PIAA meet, but, until Saturday, she had nothing to show for it unless you count lessons learned and disappointment. That all was washed away with her fourth place medal.
"It felt amazing," Wagner said. "I've been here four years, and the past three years I haven't medaled. To come out here, jump a PR and make the medal stand, it was just amazing."
Wagner, who had only jumped more than 38 feet twice in her outdoor career coming in, surpassed that mark three times at states. Her medal effort of 38-8 1/4 in the prelims was almost 5 inches better than her previous personal record. She also jumped 38-5 and 38-4.
She said the past didn't leave her hesitant about competing. She was eager to close any old wounds.
"I was really, really excited to come out and jump. I knew that I had a PR in me. I knew that I was going to be able to do well," Wagner said. "It was good especially to see my coach, Rachel Gehret. We didn't think she was going to be able to come down [because of a health situation]. Seeing her here was amazing. She's a good coach and an inspiration."
The second phase of Wagner's triple always has been the part that's held her back. She's been hard at work correcting that, and it paid off.
"That was helping me get my foot flat so I could bounce and get a good jump in," Wagner said. "I had a lot of confidence. Warming up on Thursday and warming up today, I just felt really good."
Crook came in with a chance to medal in a pair of events, the mile and the half-mile. She did so in the 1600, but the increasingly warm conditions made it hard for the Pitt-bound senior to bounce back for the later race.
"I was drained. I could feel it. I knew before. I was feeling it, but I was going to try to give it my all," Crook said. "I wanted to try and place, but it wasn't there."
When Crook felt she could assure herself of a medal in the first race, she decided to go for it rather than hold off to the 800 and diminish her chances. Crook beat her prelim times in the 1600 finals by finishing in 5:07.19. As Crook predicted on Friday, Elk County Catholic's Kennedy Weisner won the event with a national honor roll time of 4:45.99. Crook fought back the temptation to try to run with her.
"It's hard, because in my head I kind of have this 'run your fact, try to PR, do what you can do.' Four forty four is a crazy time to try and keep up with," Crook said. "If I would have stayed with her in the two laps, I wouldn't have had anything left in the last one. I didn't want to play it dumb, because I knew I wasn't capable of a 44. I think, if I start training more, I could get down to that eventually. But, as of now, I knew just to play it safe."
Crook hoped to beat the school record in the 800, but she just didn't have anything left in the tank after medaling in the mile. She ran a more than respectable 2:22.92, but that was only good enough for 11th.
She said she'd take the trade-off of the medal for the record, though.
"It makes up for it. It does," Crook said. "To end my senior year with a medal, I can take that. To get fifth, too, it's not bad. It was a good weekend. I got three PRs out of it. I PR'd twice in the mile, and I PR'd in the 800. Not big, but, in the 800, I'll take a little bit off," Crook said.
Weisner again paced the field, completing the two circuits in 2:09.46.
Krug and Tiracave are just freshmen from schools eight miles apart that both compete in the same conference, the Laurel Highlands. Both set personal records and met the PIAA qualifying standard in medaling.
Krug threw 131-8, bettering her previous best by 2 feet. Tiracave tossed it 127-1.
"I didn't even think I was going to be coming to states," Krug said. "Seeded ninth, I didn't ever think I'd get a fifth-place medal. I gave what I had and did everything my coach told me. It's just crazy, because I'm going to be coming back next year. I'm going to working harder and getting stronger and, hopefully, doing a lifting thing over the summer and improve."
There's reason to believe she has a promising future. Krug's only been throwing for a year.
"I really never had any interest in track and field one time and decided I'd try to throw it," Krug said. "I just ended up loving it."
Krug said she needed help keeping calm leading up to and during the event.
"I was pretty nervous. I just looked over to my coach and talked to Jadyn a lot," Krug said. "We talked about how cool it was to be here as freshmen. We realized we might not getting another opportunity like this. Hopefully, we come here next year, but we just [wanted] to live in the moment while we're here."
Tiracave, who has received coaching from Lady Panther javelin greats Carrie Karabinos and Jess Delic, said Krug's been a lot of help getting to where she is now.
"It's great. Britt really inspires me and to push myself better when I throw. I have a great relationship with her, and we love throwing against each other," Tiracave said.
Tiracave originally was a high jumper but thought the javelin looked fun and started throwing four years ago.
"Four years later, here I am," Tiracave said. "Coming into states, I was just happy to be here. I didn't really care how I did. I was hoping for top 10, but, to medal, I'm just really happy."
Several other area girls competed on Saturday but were locked out of the medals.
Central Cambria's Samantha Koss finished 16th – a spot she held most of the race – in the Class AA 3200 meters. Koss's time was 11:39.78. Koss also was a member of the Lady Red Devils' 3200 relay that finished 12th with a time of 9:57.42. Koss was joined on the team by Jackie Bracken, Hannah Swope and Emma Wess.
Huntingdon's Mackenzie Garner took 16th in the Class AA shot put. Garner threw a 35-8. Hollidaysburg's Madelyn Betar took 26th in the Class AAA discus with a best throw of 92-2.

Apple has released MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.5 for unspecified models of the MacBook Pro, running either Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion or 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. The update reportedly fixes a bug that could cause the MacBook Pro on a power adapter to shut down unexpectedly under heavy load if the battery charge level (which you wouldn't think would be at issue) is near empty. To install this update, your MacBook Pro must be plugged into power or be at least 25 percent charged; as with all firmware updates, do not interrupt the update while it's installing. Because Apple isn't saying exactly which models of the MacBook Pro are affected, we recommend getting this update via Software Update. Presumably, the updater itself also knows not to install itself unnecessarily. (Free, 730 KB)
Thoughtful, detailed coverage of the Mac, iPhone, and iPad, plus the best-selling Take Control ebooks.

If I had to make a guess, it's partially in reference to http://www.topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/lawsuit-news/1382-apple-macbook-pro-defective-battery-class-action-lawsuit- where it has been observer (and I've seen this on my Early-2011 MBP) that under heavy load the charger is insufficient to keep up and the system drains the battery to make up the difference. It sounds like the patch doesn't completely fix the problem though...that would take a power supply that can output more than 85 W.

Author Instructions
Interactive Phylogenetic Trees support Newick and NeXML data formats.
- A commonly used data format for representing phylogenetic trees
- It is used by many phylogenetics software packages, including PAUP*, GARLI, MrBayes, PHYLIP and TREE-PUZZLE
- You can use software packages like PAUP* and FigTree to convert other tree file formats to Newick
- Newick files must have the extension .new or .nwk (please note that a semicolon is needed to end the tree)
- Please do not enclose comments in Newick files and also delete any artificial line breaks within the tree data because these will stop the tree from showing
- A new exchange standard for representing phyloinformatic data
- NeXML read and write abilities are implemented in a number of software applications, including Mesquite, phylobase package for R and DAMBE
- You can also convert other tree file formats to NeXML using NeXML conversion utilities
- The file extension should be .xml (tree data submitted with other file extensions will not be processed)
- Please do not enclose comments in the file
Please note: tree data submitted in other formats will not be processed.
How to prepare taxon labels (as also recommended by TreeBase) :
- Make sure that taxon names in the tree file match the corresponding figure in the article
- Avoid using quotation marks, brackets, parentheses, commas, colons and semicolons
- Do not abbreviate taxon names (e.g. write "Homo sapiens" not "H. sapiens")
- Avoid using codes for non-redundant names (e.g. write "Drosophila melanogaster" not "DMelan45GRX")
We also encourage you to upload your tree data to relevant data repositories, such as TreeBase and Dryad.
We strongly recommended you validate your Newick and NeXML files before submitting them, using our online validation tool.
- For optimal performance, please use Internet Explorer 9 or Mozilla Firefox 4 and higher

I kind of wish the moderators hadn't, because the other DMC boards aren't active. So, if I am going to post a DMC 3 story, it'll have to be on the DMC 3 board. But people barely go there. Is there a way to talk to the mods on GameFAQs about this? I'm not going to complain to them, but I would like the story to be here.

Extremely sharp. Fast f/2.8 aperture. Relatively compact. Full-frame coverage.
Very expensive. Heavy. Some distortion.
The Sony Carl Zeiss 24-70mm f/2.8 Zoom Lens is extremely sharp and has a fixed f/2.8 aperture, but performance comes at a price.
The Sony Carl Zeiss 24-70mm f/2.8 Zoom Lens ($1,999.99 direct) is the top-end standard angle zoom lens for Alpha cameras. It can be used with full-frame and APS-C bodies alike, and is impeccably sharp throughout its zoom range—but that performance comes at a price. If you're an Alpha shooter and require the best zoom you can get, this is the lens for you, but there are lesser priced alternatives available. We haven't yet tested them, but Sigma has a 24-70mm f/2.8 that is priced at $1,400, and Sony offers a budget 28-75mm f/2.8 for $899.99—but neither bear the legendary Carl Zeiss name.
The lens is fairly squat, measuring 4.4 by 3.25 inches (HD), but hefty at just under 2.2 pounds and uses 77mm filters. It's by no means a macro lens, but its 13.4-inch close focus distance is steady throughout the zoom range, even at 70mm. A lens hood is included, and the front element doesn't rotate when you zoom or focus, so you can use a polarizing filter, but the lens does extend in length as you zoom. Nikon's similar AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED weighs about the same, but it juts out further from the front the of the camera—it's 5.2 by 3.3 inches in size.
I used Imatest to measure the sharpness that the lens was able to capture when paired with the full-frame Alpha 99. The lens is better than the 1,800 lines per picture height required to call a photo sharp throughout its zoom range, even at the maximum f/2.8 aperture. At 24mm it notches 2,209 lines, but does soften to 1,806 lines at 50mm and 1,800 lines at 70mm. Stopping down increases sharpness across the board, with the best performance coming at f/8—better than 2,300 lines throughout the range. There is some distortion—1.3 percent barrel distortion at its widest, and 1.3 percent pincushion at the longest zoom setting, which can make straight lines appear to curve in and out, respectively. This can be corrected via software for those instances when it is distracting.
You can't argue with the performance that the Sony Carl Zeiss 24-70mm f/2.8 Zoom Lens delivers, even if its price is out of your reach. You can use it at its maximum aperture and capture sharp images. While heavy, the lens isn't as long as its Nikon counterpart—nor is its price out of line when compared to it, or Canon's top-end 24-70mm optic. If your budget can't handle a $2,000 lens, Sony also offers a $900 24-75mm f/2.8 optic, and Sigma markets a $1,400 24-70mm f/2.8 in the Alpha mount.

Video ad network BrightRoll has launched a self-service ad exchange for trading video ad inventory, and hopes to introduce some of the data-driven ad buying practices now commonplace in the online display market to the video space.
The exchange will pool inventory from a range of sources, including online video sites, publishers' video players, ad servers, and ad optimization platforms into a single marketplace, allowing media buyers to efficiently select and purchase inventory based on dynamic bidding technology.
BrightRoll CEO Tod Sacerdoti said the exchange, dubbed BRX, is intended to make the bulk buying of video inventory a more efficient, less labor-intensive process. He added, however, that the major advantage of the platform is its ability to integrate targeting data into the decision process, either from an advertiser itself, or from a third-party provider.
Although ad networks such as BrightRoll and its contemporaries do offer behavioral solutions, Sacerdoti suggests a lack of scale of available inventory makes practices such as retargeting difficult. "If you ask advertisers, no one has really been using video retargeting because of the scale issue," he said, suggesting most "behaviorally targeted" video ads were being served within standard display ads, rather than as video pre-roll.
"If we can pool a large amount of inventory it will be a significant step. Buyers just don't have that inventory access," he added, comparing the evolution of video advertising to that of the display ad market.
Indeed, the company says it plans to begin working with demand-side platforms, and has already begun targeting campaigns for clients using third-party data – an increasingly common practice in the display space with the emergence of Demand Side Platform firms such as Invite Media – which was sold to Google in June – and data brokers such as X+1 and Exelate.
According to Sacerdoti, BrightRoll's offering is the first platform to offer exchange functionality in the video space, but he expects Google's potential entry into the market soon, feeding video inventory from YouTube into its own DoubleClick Exchange.
"From our perspective Google is the only [competitor] out there that matters," Sacerdoti said, predicting that Google could begin moving YouTube content into its DoubleClick exchange. Google's acquisition of Invite Media suggests it recognizes further growth potential in such technology, unlikely to be limited to the display market alone. Google did not respond to requests for comment on its plans to introduce video into its exchange.
Over the past year video ad networks have shot up comScore's rankings of online video properties serving ads. According to the measurement firm, BrightRoll's network currently serves the third most video ads to U.S. users behind Hulu and Tremor Media, and served over 50 percent more ads than Google sites in June.

Could Emily Blunt, Emma Stone, or Amy Adams be the new Nora Charles for 'Thin Man' remake?
How do you kill a 42 year old fat man who is waaaaaaay too emotionally invested in what happens with a remake of "The Thin Man"?
You hire Rob Marshall to direct it.
No matter what we hear about casting on this film, I'm going to be nervous to the point of irritated the entire time it's in production. I'll do my best to be fair, but the bitter sting of the awful "Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" is still way too fresh for me to just assume Marshall will do right by one of my favorite films of all time.
No, scratch that. The "Thin Man" series is one of my favorite anythings of all time. It's right up there with things like fire and penicillin and indoor plumbing. Nick and Nora Charles are my favorite married couple in Hollywood history, and no matter what I think of the individual films in the series, I will take any opportunity to watch William Powell as Nick and Myrna Loy as Nora.

From the Inside Flap
John Taft comes from a distinguished political family well known for its commitment to integrity. In Stewardship: Lessons Learned from the Lost Culture of Wall Street, John Taft builds on that legacy and presents an intelligent, thoughtful argument for the importance of establishing service to others as the key to saving ourselves from the ongoing financial crisis, and creating a more stable and more compassionate financial system.
When the financial crisis hit in 2008, Taft was on the front lines with investors and employees, and experienced their extreme turmoil. Driven by a conviction that purposefulness, accountability, humility, integrity, and foresight are our duty, and that making the world a better place is our calling, he outlines in this book his belief in stewardship's core principles. These principles are the answer not only for minimizing the scale and impact of future financial crises, but also for addressing the major societal challenges facing us today.
Wide-ranging in its coverage, the book looks at the ways in which a lack of stewardship contributed to the financial crisis, how to strengthen banking regulation, and much more. Including an in-depth analysis of the ways in which Canadian banks responded to the crisis with integrity and established themselves as models of fiscal responsibility, it looks to the future with optimism. To illustrate his arguments, Taft employs engaging end-of-chapter vignettes that show his ideas in action. Extensive appendices on EU financial reform, the Basel III Accord, and thoughts on creating a more compassionate future augment the text to create a fascinating guide to a better future.
Born out of Taft's participation in legislative and regulatory efforts to rewrite the rules under which the U.S. securities industry will operate for decades to come, the book offers a unique response to the challenges of the financial crisis. It looks at the way in which a lack of integrity contributed to the Great Recession. It also shows how a renewed commitment to helping others has implications for the future of the financial services industry, the prevention of future crises, the protection of the environment, and much more. Stewardship is a compelling read with far-reaching implications.
From the Back Cover
Praise For Stewardship
"This is a powerful and moving book that deserves to be widely read.The idea of stewardship captures powerfully what is needed today.I just hope the financial industry listens."
—Gillian Tett, U.S. Managing Editor, Financial Times, and author, Fool's Gold
"When I was asked by a good friend to read John Taft's manuscript with the possibility of providing a comment about it, I groaned at the prospect of reading another dreary, self-justificatory treatise. I could not have been more wrong. Mr. Taft draws on his considerable experience in the financial industry to produce an essay that is thoughtful, constructive, and, in a word I rarely get to use in the context of the financial crisis, inspiring. I am glad to recommend it."
—Barney Frank, Congressman (D-MA)
"John Taft demystifies the complex inner workings of the financial services industry. He provides a simple, but elegant, approach to restoring trust and confidence in the U.S. financial services markets."
—Ron James, President and CEO, Center for Ethical Business Cultures
"Like his father and grandfather and great grandfather before him, John is another Taft who understands we are all stewards and with that comes responsibility. Stewardship is not just a book for Wall Street. It's a book for you and me."
—Doug Lennick, coauthor, Moral Intelligence
"Timely, well-argued, deeply humane. Taft is the sort of leader financeneeds as it emerges from the crisis."
—Matthew Bishop, New York Bureau Chief, The Economist and coauthor, The Road from Ruin

Taft's main point is that we need to re-embrace a stewardship culture; a culture where serving others is paramount. Taft quotes the motto of his prep school "to serve and not be served" to drive the point home. Stewardship implies seeing clients as an end in themselves rather than a means to an end. Taft broadens that to the mission of any financial institution; "Financial Institutions are, or ought to be, a means to greater ends". This approach is not some wimpy or socialist answer to the crisis but rather a path to building profitable growth and a lasting franchise. The rapacious nature of our banks in the mid 2000's, epitomized by creation of synthetic CDO's which pitted one client vs another client with the bank usually profiting or betting with one of parties, has certainly been shown to be detrimental to the long term franchise of the bank!!
The book digs deep into what a stewardship culture means and what attributes are needed to cultivate such a culture. Taft identifies the key attributes to be humility, integrity, sense of purpose, and foresight. He also uses a number of compelling
anecdotes and personal reminiscences to illustrate his points. He clearly links this approach to the overall economy and implications for personal investing.
I have one main "beef" with the book and that is it's favorable characterization of Canadian banks; being a Canadian myself maybe I am overly skeptical of my homeland.Read more ›
There is a recount of the financial crisis that is pretty standard, nothing new there. He also shares his support for current regulation change without presenting an overly strong or convincing argument supporting his opinion. He uses the example of Canadian banks as his support but doesn't paint a full picture regarding the tradeoffs involved in being generally more conservative. Plus, one anecdotal example doesn't cut it when talking about as big an issue as he's trying to tackle.
While I certainly don't disagree with his message about being a good person, and I don't have much of an argument opposing his statements about the financial crisis or regulation, after reading this book, I don't feel like he said anything new or noteworthy.
I give two stars because for the Kindle price of $15 I expect more and I don't think Taft delivers ideas that are powerful or unique enough to deserve the price tag, even if the proceeds go to charity.
John Taft adds to the story of this lost culture not just at Goldman Sachs but on Wall Street as a whole in his just released "Stewardship: Lessons Learned from the Lost Culture of Wall Street.' As CEO of RBC Wealth Management-U.S. and Chairman Emeritus of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), the leading securities industry trade group representing securities firms, banks and asset managers in the U.S., John has had a front row seat as both an observer and unwilling participant in the financial crisis of 2007-2009.
In "Stewardship," Taft highlights the importance of stewardship - a calling which centers on a "conviction that purposefulness, accountability, humility, integrity, and foresight are our duty, and that making the world a better place" - and examines how the absence of stewardship contributed to the crisis. Stewardship once was king on Wall Street when privately-held partnerships focused on servicing others and put their own capital at risk. Now, with OPM (Other People's Money) and the demands of being a publicly traded stock, the culture has changed to one that has proven detrimental to our country's financial health.Read more ›
Taft not only writes well, he makes the subject matter compelling for everyone and shares moving personal and professional anecdotes and vignettes along the way. Earlier Wall Street storytellers have all pointed fingers and described complicated financial scenarios, but not Taft. While he doesn't ignore any of the facts, he brings it all home with one clear theme: the financial industry is not living up to its fiduciary duty to put their clients' interests first.
I wish Wall Street would make this book required reading for all those who deal with clients, but I also wish Taft would expand his search for good stewards beyond the financial industry (starting in Washington!) because, when all is said and done, we could all benefit from a return to these core values.
I was inspired by this book. It reminded me that looking outwards and focusing on leaving the world a better place is the secret to a fulfilling and meaningful life. And, while I know that Taft has thus far steered clear of the family business, (his great-grandfather was President WH Taft), in this age of moronic campaigns and absent political stewards, I can't help wishing he would reconsider.

This is a video of my entire subway experience with her, from the time she walked up 'till the time I walked off! My only complaint is I had problems aiming the camera down.

I can't highly recommend getting this one because it's 90 seconds long, but only 30 seconds are good, hence the low price. I can say get it if you were shopping already and had a buck to spare. It's on a better camera than you're used to around here, and is an mp4 video file

Really long and really good. Only way it could have been much better is if I'd gotten more of her walking. Lots of good looks here. She walks. She sits. She rises. She leaves. I find her again at the next bus stop. You get to see her interact with her kids and her phone, and get a lot more titty movement than I bet you expected. Numerous angles, too. To top it off, I've included an unedited bonus file in the zip that has something I shot with my cell phone!

|New Old
I know this old woman's not too pretty higher up, and the camera's fps isn't high enough, but pretty don't matter here because it was all about getting beside her and the right times and staying behind her for the rest of the time. I did some extra slow motion toward the end- when she kinda tried to run- haha- and added some extra footage of another at the beginning, since I had it.

|Soft Flaps of Big Booty, Thick-thighed Viewing Pleasure.
A little unstable for such a stable video. I'm new with this camera, but I really got the hang of it with this one. It's the first long, steady video I shot. Spent plenty of time taping her great behind for you because I was waiting for her to turn toward us and give us a real good shot of those fat, soft thighs overlappin' for us. Nice video, picture and sound, and my stuff with this camera gets better from here.

|Best Budget Big All Around.
Three minutes long. Well, technically it's over 4 minutes, but some of that- like the very end- are more to be interesting than good. Like a small part around 3 minutes when you kinda see and hear the security guard's and shoppers reactions to when this BBW walks out of the store. Booty this good's gonna get the guard in trouble, so he better just keep eating his fried chicken! This huge, curvy woman was hot all around. I just wish I hadn't been held up elsewhere like I was, so I could have shot her better. Well, that, and I thought I heard something near the beginning that made me decide against following her too closely too long, too early. You can see the thighs. You can see the ass. You can see the size. You might not see that her titties were major large too, so I tried to manuver to make sure you saw that as well

This is actually a compilation video of three women and some extras that were too good to not post, but I just didn't have the kind of footage I needed of any of them to give them a dedicated video. There's extra footage that's more of hanging around and people watching the women at the end. If you're looking for a huge titty video that's more interesting than good, it's only a buck to buy for a try.

|Two Booty Women
One of these Women's in a video with higher picture quality than the other, because dust got on the lens for that one. The second one was hard to track, too, but I wanted you to get both women, since they were both good subjects. Zipped this since it's two vids

|Blackstreetbbw's Best Bus Stop Booty!
This video goes beyond living up to the title. It's eleven minutes of the best wide thighed, bus stop booty footage I can remember catching any time in recent history. It's not the biggest booty ever captured in blackstreetbbw history, but this ass is so good, and the thighs are so bulgy, the video's so solid, and there's so much of it, and it ain't boring sitting filler either! There is as much to look at in this video as a bus stop video can have, so if you ever liked any of my other booty footage, I can assure you this video will keep you entertained for all 11 minutes, believe that.

It's this woman again! At another stop this time. This time, though, I only got half as much of her, and there was some dirt on the lens. Still, though, it's a good purchase if you wanted more of her, 'cause it provides you with 5 minutes more! It also provides you with a little, sweaty bonus ;)

This is another breast three pack one dollar video. Like the other one, I made it because the titties are all large but I just couldn't get enough good footage of any of the women to give her a video worth paying for. For one it was hard to have the camera aimed right, for the other it was hard to be beside her, for the third one was moving in a way I didn't predict quite right. This one's different from the other in that it only has focused footage, and nothing that's just about a bunch of women in the neighborhood. I can assure you the racks are real big, and the vid's about nothing but that, and it's only a buck, so if you've got one to spare, and/or you liked the previous vid like this you might want this one. 5 minutes

A comprehensive introduction to a wide variety of univariate and multivariate smoothing techniques for regression Smoothing and Regression: Approaches, Computation, and Application bridges the many gaps that exist among competing univariate and multivariate smoothing techniques. It introduces, describes, and in some cases compares a large number of the latest and most advanced techniques for regression modeling. Unlike many other volumes on this topic, which are highly technical and specialized, this book discusses all methods in light of both computational efficiency and their applicability for real data analysis. Using examples of applications from the biosciences, environmental sciences, engineering, and economics, as well as medical research and marketing, this volume addresses the theory, computation, and application of each approach. A number of the techniques discussed, such as smoothing under shape restrictions or of dependent data, are presented for the first time in book form. Special features of this book include: * Comprehensive coverage of smoothing and regression with software hints and applications from a wide variety of disciplines * A unified, easy-to-follow format * Contributions from more than 25 leading researchers from around the world * More than 150 illustrations also covering new graphical techniques important for exploratory data analysis and visualization of high-dimensional problems * Extensive end-of-chapter references For professionals and aspiring professionals in statistics, applied mathematics, computer science, and econometrics, as well as for researchers in the applied and social sciences, Smoothing and Regression is a unique and important new resource destined to become one the most frequently consulted references in the field.(1998), for example.

Radheshyam Adhikari was among the first lawmakers to raise the issue of impeaching CIAA Chief Lokman Singh Karki in the parliament. Adhikari, a lawyer by profession, was also instrumental in defining CIAA's jurisdictions in the new constitution. The Nepali Congress MP spoke to Republica's Biswas Baral and Mahabir Paudyal on Tuesday about the rationale for the impeachment motion, the CIAA's role and how the motion will be taken ahead.
KATHMANDU, Oct 26: Relocation of landslide-prone settlements in the earthquake-hit districts to safer sites was one of the key issues besides reconstruction of the damaged houses following the devastating earthquake in April last year. But over 18 months have elapsed since the disaster and the issue of relocation of the risky settlements has been completely neglected by the government.
KATHMANDU, Oct 26: Although the ruling Nepali Congress (NC) Central Working Committee meeting that concluded on Tuesday did not take any decision whether to back the impeachment motion against CIAA chief Lokman Singh Karki, the NC lawmakers speaking during parliament meeting made a strong case for backing the motion.
KATHMANDU, Oct 25: A standing committee meeting of the CPN-UML has decided to support the impeachment motion registered at the Legislature-Parliament against Chief of the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA), Lokman Singh Karki, and to forge consensus in favor of the motion.

A Heart Is A Spade Exclusive: Alex Frankel (of Holy Ghost!) – Negative Space Song Annotation
Follow Alex Frankel on Twitter. Like Alex Frankel on Facebook. Follow Alex Frankel on Instagram. Purchase Negative Space via iTunes. View all forthcoming Holy Ghost! tour dates here.
Get Back – I had the basic song for 'Get Back' as something I could sing and play on the piano but I couldn't figure exactly how I wanted it to sound. It was the last thing finished for the record – about a week before the EP came out. My friend Morgan from Midnight Magic – who also plays in my live band – came by the studio and added the bass line and then it came together really, really quickly. I like how it's kinda dreamy and sentimental on the verses and then the outro gets really funky and tuff in contrast. Well not really tuff, but tuff-er.
Negative Space – 'Negative Space' was a song I had floating around forever that didn't fit Holy Ghost! for some reason. I went out to Los Angeles to work on it with my friends Vaughn Oliver and Ryland Blackington at the Chromeo compound and we added the bridge and then from there it was easy. I think that's always the case for me – finding the little thing in the song that was missing, then it all comes together quickly.
Ryland's Theme – This is a thing Ryland started for a film that never happened. He played it for me and I was like "oh man, this is the perfect intro to 'Lost Design'!"
Lost Design – Probably my personal favorite on the record, I made it with my friend Kosuke in about 3 days at my house and at the XL studios and it really captures the spirit of what we wanted to get across without compromise. I think that's true for the EP – when you get to make something fast like this you don't overthink or compromise what you wanted to get across at that moment in time.

On October 31, Voss Events returns with the 6th annual Night of the Living Drag: Apocalyptic All Star Edition at NYC's Stage 48 featuring the entire cast of RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars Season 2, hosted by Shangela (purchase tix here).
How would you compare your experience on Season 5 with your experience on All Stars 2?
Well, they always say things get easier the second time around. I don't know if I believe that! [laughs] – because you kind of have to live up to or exceed all expectations the second time around. [This season's elimination process] first caught all of us off-guard, that's for sure! It was so incredibly shocking. I would say, in Season 5 I went into RuPaul's Drag Race just solely to win [with that] pageant mentality. With All Stars I went in to leave a legacy – I went in to laugh a lot and worry less. It was a very rewarding experience because it catapulted my art into a whole extra universe. I'm just very thankful to have had the opportunity. Thousands of queens audition – just now, over a hundred queens have walked in and I'm one.
On last week's episode, you had quite a few touching, tender moments with your sister. In fact, the entire challenge seemed like an emotional one for you. Can you describe how it felt to work together with her on this project following your mom's passing?
It was a tough one. That was raw and real. It's so hard to kind of face – it doesn't hit close to home because it is home. I've always been that role model, big brother for my sister and I felt that I had let her down – her and the rest of my siblings. It was so real – that whole episode I remember being there, I was just so emotionally tore up and affected but I felt that we needed that. It was so awesome sharing that stage with her. You know, my sister – she's not a performer like that. For her to do that and do that for me, it was magical – something I will hold very tight and close to my heart forever.

Those of you who try but can't always avoid grabbing handrails on subways and buses may be relieved to know that elements used by many transportation systems like copper and silver are naturally antibacterial. The structure and composition of the metal is somehow able to inactivate the bacteria, making it an ideal surface for things like…subway handrails.
This is the type of instantly lovable, immediately gratifying knowledge you get from Sam Kean's The Disappearing Spoon, a fascinating column-by-column, row-by-row dissection of the periodic table. Kean must be commended for turning what could have been boring historical and scientific accounts into bite-sized human dramas filled with humorous moments and ironic twists. The predictable accounts of science heroes like Marie Curie and Dmitri Mendeleev are given fresh new spins, while the tales of lesser-known scientists are told with gusto. Only in the last few chapters did things get a little heady for me, but I'm admittedly on a steep learning curve when it comes to atoms, electrons, neutrons, and the like.
The remarkably intriguing narration by Sean Runnette is the icing on the cake here. He had his work cut out for him even in good hands, the science could be overbearing for a narrator to effectively relay to the listener. Runnette gives weight to the text by employing an authoritative but gently understanding tone of voice. He doesn't pose as the high school science teacher reading from the textbook, but instead as the calm and patient tutor willing to work with you until you understand. His David Strathairn-like voice works to keep you entertained even while discussing P-shells, superatoms, Molybdenum, and the causes of Japan's Itai-itai disease. Runnette's standout moments come when describing the constant bickering between scientists claiming ownership over element discoveries. He voices these sections with such giddy, tongue-in-cheek glee that the listener can't help but chuckle along. This ability to reach across the periodic table into the common interests of non-science loving listeners is key to the success of Runnette's narration. Armed with Runnette's performance, The Dissappearing Spoon amounts to a captivating audio account of the history, science, and meaning behind the elements on the periodic table. Josh Ravitz
"The Disappearing Spoon is my favorite kind of science journalism: it reveals a hidden universe in the form of a thrilling tale."
"Arthur C. Clarke once noted that truly advanced science cannot be distinguished from magic. Kean succeeds in giving us the cold hard facts, both human and chemical, behind the astounding phenomena without sacrificing any of the wonder — a trait vital to any science writer worth his NaCl."
Entertainment Weekly
Science Magazine reporter Sam Kean reveals the periodic table as it's never been seen before. Not only is it one of man's crowning scientific achievements, it's also a treasure trove of stories of passion, adventure, betrayal, and obsession. The infectious tales and astounding details in The Disappearing Spoon follow carbon, neon, silicon, and gold as they play out their parts in human history, finance, mythology, war, the arts, poison, and the lives of the (frequently) mad scientists who discovered them.
We learn that Marie Curie used to provoke jealousy in colleagues' wives when she'd invite them into closets to see her glow-in-the-dark experiments. And that Lewis and Clark swallowed mercury capsules across the country; their campsites are still detectable by the poison in the ground. Why did Gandhi hate iodine? Why did the Japanese kill Godzilla with missiles made of cadmium? And why did tellurium lead to the most bizarre gold rush in history? From the Big Bang to the end of time, it's all in The Disappearing Spoon.

I have an undergraduate degree in philosophy and a Master's Degree in Professional Writing from Maharishi University of Management, am author of THE RELUCTANT VEGETARIAN COOKBOOK, and am an avid reader/listener.
"How to Learn the periodic table and enjoy it!"
I loved this book because it was my kind of chemistry--real life stories mixed with technical facts. Apparently i have a reading disorder because I find it extremely difficult to memorize dry facts, but attached to these incredible stories, how can i forget them? I agree with the listener who said the print version might have been better due to the numerous facts, but as I don't have to pass any tests, my take is that it is a great audiobook. I even find myself telling others some of the stories, like how red dye was once used successfully to save lives.
Reviewing the Periodic Table has never been so interesting.
Understanding Rutherfor'ds contributions.
No- have not but will look for his narrations after this stellar presentation. Excepting the fake Kiwi accent session.
I rarely take time to listen to an Audio book a second time without first being distracted by another. But this deserves three listens- it's the best ever.
would have been nice if the subject matter were broken down a little more. I'm sure this book comes across much better in print than audio. In an audio book it's difficult to get across large amounts of information at one time. It's a little harder to go back and re"read" a section to make sure you understand it all.
"A Book Filled with Countless Interesting Facts"
I honestly had no idea how the periodic table and the elements came to be discovered. How interesting could these stories be? It might surprise you that fact is often stranger than fiction and this book certainly brings out an interesting side of chemistry that I never knew existed. You won't regret this book if your a science geek like me. One question. Why don't they teach this stuff in school?
"Thought is was something different"
I understand the chemistry that makes the periodic table the periodic table. What I expected was some stories about the elemental discoveries or interesting uses of the elements. I wanted more casual conversation starter topics, instead I got a basic chemistry lesson on the outer electron shell. Makes a very boring listen, like a chemistry lecture. There are some great interesting stories layered in but they are far and few in-between to really keep my interest.
"The Stories Behind the Science"
What a great romp through the history of the discovery and application of the elemental table. Rather than teaching science and chemistry, this book tells the stories surrounding the scientists, their lives and discoveries of the elements, and other elemental-associated occurrences. If you're afraid of taking a chemistry class for fear that you won't understand the information, this is a book that opens up the history of chemistry in a way that can help you overcome your fears and potentially even enjoy taking a chemistry class. If you're a science professional, such as a teacher, this book can provide you with entertaining, informative, and humorous stories to make chemistry a much more interesting and approachable subject. And if you're simply generally interested in science (like me), this book is highly entertaining and educational. Note: After listening to this book, I purchased some gallium (the "disappearing spoon" element) as a Christmas present for a family member, and we had fantastic fun playing with it.
"Who knew Chimistry could be so fascinating?"
Chemistry's Spellbinding History.
The author has done a bang-up job in writing the history of the periodic table (the elements therein), so much so that I find myself listening to the chapters repeatedly. Historical scientists and startling finds are covered throughout the book. This is a very intriguing, engaging, and informative book of science through and through.
"Very Interesting"
I found this book to be fascinating. As I listened I frequently bothered my boyfriend with tidbits starting "did you know..." As a teacher I thought this book could make for an interesting inter-disciplinary assignment as it connects history, chemistry, biology and more. For a curious mind, this is a winner.
"Well worth the read."
Well worth the read. Instead of being a chemistry/physics heavy book, it ties in the history, controversy, personal stores and interesting facts about the elements and the design of the periodic table. For example did you know, aluminum used to be consider the rarest of the fine metals (before we figured out how to refine it) and as such a 100oz. pyramid of it sits atop the Washington Monument, or that Napoleon is reputed to have given a banquet where the most honored guests were given aluminum utensils, while the others made do with gold? This book is filled with a plethora of interesting factoids, history and even a little science.
"Listening to it again, right after I finished it"
Well narrated, well written, can't stop listening to it! The weaving of all of the stories will keep you wanting more.

A wrongful termination lawyer can help if your employer fires you for an unfair reason. Wrongful termination occurs when your employer breaks an employment agreement with you, violates an employment or anti-discrimination law, or fires you in retaliation for whistle-blowing or for filing a sexual harassment or workers' compensation claim. If you think you were wrongly fired, talk with a wrongful termination lawyer to see if the circumstances of your firing justify a claim.

Paulson & Co. will close its largest hedge funds to new investments this summer, it told clients in a conference call yesterday.
The New York-based firm, which manages $35 billion, said it would restrict inflows into its Advantage funds, which manage about $20 billion. Paulson said it will only take in new money to replace redeemed investments, with further details to come in late June.
The moves comes amidst a fair amount of criticism of Paulson for not closing the funds to new investment as most blue-chip hedge funds do. To date, however, Paulson's openness to new money hasn't hurt the Advantage Plus fund, it's largest: The fund is up 6% through April, ahead of its peers if slightly trailing the broader markets.
Firm founder John Paulson rejected the criticism that his funds had grown "too big to succeed," saying that their increased size has not hampered their ability to produce returns.
During the call, Paulson received only one question related to the Securities and Exchange Commission fraud lawsuit against Goldman Sachs, which stems from a collateralized debt obligation that the bank structured and marketed for the hedge fund. The question he did get was actually about redemption requests in the wake of the Goldman case, which the firm said were running below average. Paulson also said it expected any outflows to be offset by new money coming into its funds.
Paulson has not been accused of any wrongdoing in the Goldman case. The SEC alleges that the Wall Street giant misled investors about Paulson's role in building the CDO and about the hedge fund's plans to short the vehicle.
Most of the call dealt with Paulson's economic outlook. The man who made his name betting against housing prices, earning triple-digit returns three years ago, now believes that home prices will bounce back.
"If you don't own a home today, now is the time to buy one," Paulson said. He said home prices would rise between 3% and 5% this year and between 8% and 12% next year.
"I believe we have the basis for a strong economic recovery," he said. "I think we will continue to grow in excess of the estimates." The hedge fund honcho said his bet is on a V-shaped recovery, adding, "we are pretty excited by the opportunities in front of us."
Paulson's take on the U.S. housing market is more bullish than most, as is his position on the European debt crisis. He said that those sovereign debt issues were "manageable."
