FAIRFIELD, CT – Junior Kaela McGilloway (Sea Cliff, NY) and freshman Bre Hudgins (Syracuse, NY) led nine different Brown goal scorers, four of whom scored the first goals of their careers, as the Bears (1-0) opened the 2011 lacrosse season with a convincing, 21-8, win at Sacred Heart (0-1) on Saturday morning in Connecticut. Other players with multiple goals included senior Paris Waterman (Newark, DE) with three and sophomore Lindsay Minges (Rochester, NY) and freshman Grace Healy (Bellport, NY) each with two. Junior Julia Keller (Concord, MA) also had a big day, dishing out three assists.
Brown wasted little time in jumping out to a quick lead, as four different goal scorers struck in the opening seven minutes to give Brown a quick 4-0 advantage. Freshmen Danielle Mastro (Endicott, NY) and Hudgins each scored the first goals of their careers just 55 seconds apart to open up the game for Brown.
After a save by junior Isabel Harvey (Baltimore, MD) on the Pioneers' first attempt, Brown raced the other way and added two more goals, a free position score by Waterman at 4:16, forcing Sacred Heart to call a timeout, and McGilloway's first of the game, off a pass from Mastro, at 6:58.
The Pioneers, who controlled most of the draws in the first half, 12-6, got on the board in the eighth minute of play when Kelsey Russo beat Harvey for her first of the year.
Hudgins answered for Brown with a pair of unassisted goals just 52 seconds apart, capitalizing on a free position attempt for her third of the game, which gave Brown a 6-1 lead just 9:26 into the game.
Sacred Heart would get one back midway through the period, but back-to-back goals by Waterman and one by McGilloway, assisted by Keller at 16:13 extended Brown's lead to 9-2.
The Bears then rattled off three straight goals in a span of 1:43, as Healy netted her first career goal and McGilloway found the back of the net twice off assists from Minges and Keller for an 12-2 lead with 10:49 left to play in the half.
The two teams traded opportunities over the next four-plus minutes until Mastro found Hudgins for her fourth of the day at the 23:58 mark, as Brown took a 13-2 lead.
Jessica Ingrilli would score two goals, sandwiched around another McGilloway tally, as the teams headed into the break with Brown leading, 14-4.
Brown began the second half just as it did the first with Minges scoring her first goal of the year just 1:32 in to give Brown another 10-goal lead, 15-4.
However, back-to-back Sacred Heart scores just 2:02 apart would cut the lead to 15-6 with just under 25 minutes to play.
Senior Alexa Caldwell (Middletown, DE) and Minges responded for Brown to regain the 11-goal advantage and after another Pioneers' tally, Healy scored her second of the day for an 18-7 lead with 11:40 left in the game. Another Sacred Heart goal at the 50:31 mark made it 18-8, but three straight Brown goals, scored by junior Nancy Baker (Upper Arlington, OH), Hudgins, and freshman Lucinda Caldwell (Middletown, DE) in the final seven minutes accounted for the 21-8 final.
Defensively, Brown was led by Baker, Keller and freshman Abbey Van Horne (Ridgewood, NJ), who all had two caused turnovers, while Mastro Paced Brown with four ground balls and Healy earned two draw controls.
Harvey earned the start in net and claimed the win with four saves (six goals against) in 42:57. Senior Maggie Suprey (South Boston, MA) played 12:11 and stopped two of four shots she faced, while sophomore Brienne Donovan (Pine Township, PA) stopped the only shot she faced in the final 4:52.
For the game, Brown had the advantage in shots (33-19), shots on goal (27-15) and saves (7-6). The Bears were 13-14 on clear attempts and went 4-6 on free position attempts, committing just nine turnovers to Sacred Heart's 24. The Pioneers held the advantage in draw controls, winning 21 of 30.
Brown returns to action on Tuesday afternoon when it hosts Boston University in its 2011 home opener. Game time is set for 4:00 p.m. at Berylson Family Fields.

Is keyword density still counts for google crawlers and its just about fresh content ?
Hi beckabaz, welcome to the forum.
Search engines have become smarter over the years and keyword density % no longer have a significant impact in affecting the rankings.
Highly ranked web pages are often packed with either useful information such as original how-to guides or content that are worth sharing such as infographics or a story. With this in mind, instead of focusing on keyword density, try to focus your efforts on creating content are link-worthy or worth sharing.
Thanks for the info, till now i lived with the knowledge that i need tu use from 3% to 5% keywords out of my website content, it's not true anymore? So how does the search engine connects between the keywords and my page that uses this keyword?
There isn't really a set density but you don't want to add the keyword that much. I use the 2-3% rule as kind of a threshold but there isn't a set scientific number where if you use a keyword 'x' amount of times your page will rank better.
Check out what Cutts has to say about it,
Yes Keyword density is important for crawler. You get more advantage for your website if your content are fully fresh because now Google focus more to relevant and new content.
Thank you guys for such a nice help.
PROPER keyword density does indeed make a difference in the search results. That is how Google and other search engines rank the content on a web page for placement in organic search results. While recent algorithmic changes made by Google, such as Penguin, target spammy and duplicate content, legitimate keyword placement throughout a webpage does affect average placement in the search results.
As search engine spiders crawl a website, the content on each web page is analyzed and categorized according to common threads and similarities. The words used most frequently are those the spider attaches the most significance to when the content gets indexed, the reason being that they figure if something is used a lot on a web page, it is relevant to the overall message of that page. Have you noticed how when you do a search in Google, the results will have your search terms emboldened? What you see is the actual content on the page. Good keyword density is a major factor in how well a particular web page is ranked in the search results. There are also other key factors, like internal and external links to your site, the age of the site, and the uniqueness of your content.
Regarding my use of the term "proper", what I mean is this: there is a common misconception that if you simply repeat a particular keyword a bunch of times on a page, you'll rank higher for that word. At one time, this may have been true, but as more and more redundant and spam content was added to web pages, the search engines set safeguards in place to penalize such tactics. The key to effective keyword density is to use terms and phrases that are relevant throughout the page in a way that doesn't seem contrived or spammy. Use important terms more frequently, but in a way that flows naturally with the content of the page. Use different ways of saying the same thing. For instance, on a web page about mylar, you could use "laminated mylar", "alluminized mylar", "polyethelyne terephthalate", "biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate", "BoPET", and a dozen or so other terms and phrases that all refer to the same substance: mylar. Using different ways to say the same thing keeps you from seeming redundant or spammy.
as far as I know it's important to put keywords in the begining of the article (content) and in the end.
The old straight 1 to 4% density formula of the past no longer works. Google has evolved and it continues to evolve. Instead of looking at density, you need to consider the following factors
Write in terms of THEMES - Google and other SEs used to look at certain keywords as 'triggers' regarding the meaning and overall subject of the content. Now, they look at the overall theme. To target THEMES, use keyword clusters that are RELATED TO EACH other. For example: if your content's real target is DOG TRAINING, your text should have keywords involving dog training supplies, dog training methods, etc
Focus on HUMAN READERS -Google doesn't want to say it outright but according to many SEO professionals, Google is paying attention to many user reaction signals. If humans don't like your content, chances are Google will know and factor this in. This is why your content needs to ENGAGE human readers on many personal levels instead of just fitting an SEO formula
Thank you, I was unaware they have little importance anymore, thanks again
Also important:Consistency and correlation of the keywords in the file name, the <title>, the <meta> description, the headers of a page and the content text. Everything dancing round 1 main subject of a page!
The first result of the 13.100.000 results (!) has a page rank of 4, and:
Of course there are other factors for the first place:
... and in the meantime we have the css3 border-radius!
PS: The same page is coming as result #2 of 1.750.000 for Fluid Round Corners (www.google.nl/search?q=fluid+round+corners),and #3 of 2.850.000 for Fluid Rounded Corners (google.nl/search?q=fluid+rounded+corners).Without much keyword density for the word Fluid, which is only 2 times on the page: once in the description, and once in the text.That's not overwhelming!
Yes keywords density is very important for content writer as well any search engine crawler, if we no see that thing content meaning will be different for website's visitor and for crawler see that content fro spam, means your content not full fill search engine rules and regulation.
Thanks LCWS & Francky for giving such detailed posts. I agree with both of your comments. These are practices we've been implementing. It's reassuring to hear other people have the same approach.
Keyword density should be less than 5% for plural keyword.
As per my knowledge,Variation of keyword is important in your content.First optimize the content for readers,then for google.You can include target phrases 1-3 times in text.Quality of content is more important than quantity.Google prefer fresh and unique content,make sure that you are not copying the content from any other resource.
Generally, i learned that the keyword density should be less than 5% for the main keywords and less than 3% for other long tail keywords. Also, you should remember to add partial match keyword into your content in order to diversify and avoid being penalized for over-optimization.
That alone cant be the basis for over-optimization. What are the other factors that count?
Yes Dear Keyword density plays very important role always. It should be 3-4%. Means not less then 3 and not greater then 4.
yes definitely! According to Google's Latest updates 1.5-2% KW density is perfect for a Website for proper SEO. I hope your confusion is cleared now!
Where at Google did you find those numbers?
All I could see relating to keywords was https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35769?hl=en
Think about the words users would type to find your pages, and make sure that your site actually includes those words within it.

Bond set for police officer in chase, shooting
(Cleveland) - The only police officer facing felony charges in connection with a deadly November 2012 police chase has had his bond set at $10,000, and a not-guilty plea was entered.
Officer Michael Brelo pled not guilty Friday morning to charges of manslaughter in the deaths of Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams. An investigation determined that after a police chase that went from downtown to the west side and eventually to East Cleveland, Brelo fired over 50 shots at Russell and Williams.
Five other officers face misdemeanor charges. Their bonds were set at $1,000 each.
Brelo and the other officers have pre-trial hearings set for next Friday.

College Football Recap, Oct. 28
Monday, October 28, 2013
Here's a brief look at the results of the Top 25 from this past weekend. The rankings used in this recap are the BCS standings entering the games. LEADERS OF THE PACK
#1 Alabama 45, Tennessee 10: The Crimson Tide builds a 35-0 halftime lead in a rivalry-game blowout as T.J.

In fact, it is important that the PlotJoined->True option should not
show the points. I am not sure why, but all of my attempts to use
MultipleListPlot for large data sets (>4000 points) have failed due to
the inability to get rid of the points: all plots look like
millipedes :(
Can anyone help with this? At present I have to use multiple ListPlot's
with DisplayFunction->Identity, combined with Show. MultipleListPlot
just isn't flexible enough, unless I am missing something.

Topic: Increasing alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
Hello all. My husband has had eight rounds of FOLFIRINOX (FU-5/irinotecan/ oxaliplatin) and three additional rounds of FU-5/irinotecan. His most recent CT scan on February 22 showed that his tumors were stable. My concern is that his ALP level has been rising for the last couple of months. It was around 130-135 through the end of January. However, the last four readings have been 156, 185, 216, and 235 so it is now more than twice the normal level. His AST is a bit high (55) but ALT and bilirubin are normal. His tumor markers have always been in the normal range. He is feeling well and has no pain. The oncologist says the rise in ALP could be a chemo side effect or an indication of tumor progression but we really won't know until the next scan which will be in three or four weeks. Has anyone else experienced this?

The head of a child by Parmigiano; a large picture by Breughel.
It is hardly a masterpiece, this Breughel, and is dingy in colour.
Like Breughel, he succeeded in bringing the Christian story close to the people's hearts amidst Flemish contemporary surroundings.
No one excelled our English master in this crowding of incident, not even Breughel or Teniers.
They have all the oddity, all the whim, and all the horror of the pencil of Breughel.
Breughel set into motion the mental machinery of the Temptation that never stopped whirring until 1874.
To the lover of Flemish paintings Breughel is one of the most characteristic and charming of them all.
Another artist in whose works Breughel's inspiration is apparent is Jacob Smits (b. 1856).
He, too, like Breughel, is fond of trussing up a human as if he were a pig and then sticking him with a big knife.

Bad Press on Bad Press Leads to Juicero Refunds
The company that once hawked a product vying to be "the most technologically advanced thing in the kitchen" is now offering refunds for the uber-appliance, Fortune reports.
The $400 Juicero machine, a WiFi-enabled juicer billed as the "Keurig of juicers," received $120 million in startup funds, but a Bloomberg report this week turned it all a bit sour when it revealed a person's bare hands could squeeze a cup of juice out of the accompanying juice packets just as quickly as the machine itself—sometimes even faster.
Juicero CEO Jeff Dunn put up a Medium post Thursday announcing the company is extending its "Happiness Guarantee" and letting customers new and old send their presses back for the next 30 days for a full refund.

AACN Launches New Graduate Nursing Student Academy
Press Release
For Immediate Release
AACN Launches New Graduate Nursing Student Academy to
Enhance Services and Programs for Future Nursing Leaders
WASHINGTON, D.C., August 1, 2012 – The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) is pleased to announce the formation of the new Graduate Nursing Student Academy (GNSA) created to provide high value programs, services, and resources to nursing students enrolled in master's and doctoral programs. Through the GNSA, AACN will focus on meeting the professional development needs of graduate nursing students who are poised to assume leadership roles within the profession, including service as future faculty members and researchers.
"Preparing the next generation of nurses to lead change and foster innovation in academic, research, and practice settings is a priority for the association," said AACN President Jane Kirschling. "AACN stands ready to leverage its resources and work collaboratively with stakeholders to move more nursing students into graduate programs and to offer enrichment opportunities for this important student population."
AACN has a long history of providing services and guidance for undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in schools of nursing. This support manifests in the form of scholarships, Webinars, conference discounts, an online collaboration community, information sharing, advocacy engagement, internships, and most recently, the annual Student Policy Summit and NursingCAS. Within the larger nursing student population, AACN has a strong interest in serving the unique needs of the more than 110,000 students pursuing master's, PhD, and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degrees. Since future faculty and researchers will be drawn from this group, AACN is looking to expand efforts to provide information and resources to encourage graduate students to complete their formal study and consider careers in academia.
National Graduate Nursing Student Survey Underway
Approved by the AACN Board of Directors in March 2012, the GNSA will build on the association's existing student services by offering new programming based on the expressed needs of graduate students. AACN's initial assessment efforts, which included numerous one-on-one interviews, found that graduate students are interested in Webinars and programming focused on leadership development, career pathways, advance practice role exploration, securing research funding, grant writing, and succeeding in teaching positions.
To further determine the needs of graduate nursing students and the unique role that AACN can play in meeting those needs, AACN is launching an online survey to capture input directly from student constituents. This brief survey, which may be accessed at http://www.aacn.nche.edu/students/gnsa/services-survey, will ask students to identify how the GNSA can advance their professional development. Questions focus on programming priorities, potential Webinar topics, volunteer opportunities within the GNSA, and social media preferences. To encourage a robust survey response, students completing the survey will be placed in a drawing to win a free Kindle Fire. Survey responses need to be submitted by September 30.
Though the official rollout of the GNSA will occur at AACN's Fall Semiannual Meeting in October 2012, AACN has created a new section on our Web site with information tailored to graduate nursing students. These online resources include:
- AACN's new Guide to Graduate Nursing Programs
- Scholarship information for graduate nursing study
- Links to student membership opportunities at colleague nursing organizations
- Career resources for new nursing school graduates
For more information on the Graduate Nursing Student Academy, resources for graduate students, and the online survey, see http://www.aacn.nche.edu/students/gnsa.
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) is the national voice for university and four-year college education programs in nursing. Representing more than 700 member schools of nursing at public and private institutions nationwide, AACN's educational, research, governmental advocacy, data collection, publications, and other programs work to establish quality standards for bachelor's- and graduate-degree nursing education, assist deans and directors to implement those standards, influence the nursing profession to improve health care, and promote public support of baccalaureate and graduate nursing education, research, and practice. www.aacn.nche.edu

INTERVIEW: John Digweed at Electric Zoo
Listen to John Digweed on iHeartRadio
John Digweed is an absolute legend in dance music. No stranger to extended sets that can last sometimes 10 blissful hours, he truly is a man of his craft, and he really loves what he does. Having played some of the most famous clubs in the world, he's brought his sound, and his vibe, to all corners of the earth. And with 15 years of his label Bedrock under his belt, he just keeps getting better and better.
[Listen to Transitions with John Digweed every Thursday night at midnight (ET) on Evolution]
We got to hang out with John at Electric Zoo in New York City. He talked to us about his residency in Ibiza, how he makes it all the way through those long extended sets, his upcoming collaboration album Versus with Nick Muir, and more. Check it out:
What do you like about DJing in America?
I'm lucky that I've been coming here for over twenty years. So, I've kinda' seen the kind of curve, grow and grow, and grow, and the culture grow, and the sort of fan base grow. And the music changed, but the kids [are] going with the different styles and everything else. It's been very exciting to see it, you know, from a first-hand experience. I've been lucky enough to play in some of the best clubs in the world that have been in America. So, yeah, I've been coming here, as I said, regularly for many years, and I've always been welcomed amazingly, so I keep coming back!
How did your residency in Ibiza go this summer?
Yeah, I've got residency there, [at] Pacha. It's the first time that I've done a residency and I've been really enjoying it. It was good. I mean, each week's has gotten better, and better, and better. Everyone's really happy there. So, hopefully next year will be more of the same.
Tell us about your new collaboration album with Nick Muir, Versus?
Well, what what happened is, Nick and myself have been working together since day one. We were kinda like, "Well, we've got this track. Do you wanna have a play around with it?" And I played around with it. I was gonna do like a remix EP and then we'd add some more tracks that we've worked on, send them out to other artists and they just kinda seemed to grow and grow. And it was like, "Maybe we should make this into an album?" And the album came together. And I'm always one for, like, thinking "Well, if you're gonna put an actual, physical product out there, you know, a lotta people, if they're not DJs, they don't just wanna hear 11 tracks by themselves. I thought, well, I'll mix one album together. I have one un-mixed. And then Nick and myself also worked on another CD. I've done a down-tempo, electronica, the more kind of after-party. Chilled out vibes. We wanted to make a good package but also kinda make quite a good statement. So, I'm really happy with people like Carlo Lio, Christian Smith & Wehbba, the Second-Hand Satellites, Guy J, Marco Bailey, Pig & Dan, you know.
How did you guys decide who you wanted to include on the collaborations?
I mean I've got great, great relationships with all the artists. [I've] been sort of working with them through gigs or through the record label for many years. So, you know, it's when you have that kind of relationship when you ring someone up and say "Hello, I've got this idea. Are you interested in taking part in it?" Everyone was like, "Yeah. No problem. Just send something over." It's taking a bit of time, but we weren't in any rush. It's not like "Oh, we've gotta get this out, this date." Everyone's always asked "Are you gonna do an artist album?" It's something that we've never really kinda contemplated. And then when this came about, it's still not really not an artist album, but it is. But it's kind of a bit more of a mixed bag. And I'd rather do something like that. So, yeah I think that the end result speaks for itself and Nick and myself have been busy on another project as well. So, there's something that's gonna follow this in about six month's time as well.
*John & Nick's collab with Psycatron "Awakenings":
What do you like about working with Nick?
I mean Nick's, you know, he's a fantastic musician. He loves the music. He'll be on the dance floor 'til the last record. He's a die-hard. He also loves what he does, but also loves the scene, loves being a part of it. Also, we've got a great friendship, which is the most important thing. When you spend a lot of time with someone, you gotta get on with them. And we have that relationship where we've got mutual understanding, and everything just works well. So, it's really good.
Are you excited about Bedrock's 15th anniversary party coming up?
Yeah. I mean, I try not to put dates on things really, because it's like, "Have we been doing it this long?!" But they just seem to get better and better. We've got some people on there this time that we haven't had before. We have Julian Jeweil from France, Gary Beck, Japanese Popstars are playing. We try in each party, try to mix it up with new acts. and everything. I get to play, like, 7 hours in the main room.
It's an interesting event where we've got such a great fan base and it's supported us from day one. I think it's nice to give the loyal fans what they want, but also new people, the fresh DJs and everything else as well. I think we always get the balance about right.
You are no stranger to those long sets. How do you stay focused for so long, or what keeps you going through the whole set? What happens when you have to go to the bathroom?!
You put on a slightly longer record! No, I mean, to be honest, if you enjoy something, you wanna play longer. There's so much good music out there. I could never understand these DJs, like, "I'm only playing 90 minutes and that's it. I don't play any longer." It's like do you not enjoy what you do? What are you gonna do? Go and sit in the hotel room? You know? It's like, if you're out there, people wanna hear you play, and I want to keep playing.
Are you going on tour at all, or with Nick?
Not on tour with Nick. I mean, Nick does the occasional bit of DJing, but I'm off to South America in a couple of weeks: Argentina, and Chile, and Columbia. But it's back for the closing parties [Ibiza]. And then I'm gonna be back in America in October, November, playing for a 3-week tour. So there's gonna be a lot of dates there.
Well, since we're at Electric Zoo, if you were an animal, what animal would you be?
I'd like to be a jaguar. I only come out at night and that's a bit like me really.

Beauty Road Test: ARROJO Hair Care from 'What Not to Wear's' Nick Arrojo!
Give your hair a boost with the ARROJO hair care collection from 'What Not to Wear's' Nick Arrojo!
-Lucia Peters
Guess what, Bettys? It's time for adventures in my ongoing quest to tame my wacky, unruly hair! Those of you have been following the continuing saga know that I'm constantly on the lookout for new ways to keep my wild mane in check. So far, it's been razor-cut, treated with diamonds, and transformed into beachy waves; now, it's going to get a little bit of help from master hairstylist Nick Arrojo's product line, ARROJO. Does Nick's name sound familiar? If you watch TLC's What Not To Wear, it probably does—Nick was the show's stylist for the first six seasons. Happily, he's got a studio of his own right here in New York, Arrojo Studio, and he's put out a terrific line of hair care products… which I am about to road test. Ready? Start your engines, and let's give it a go!
First, I gave my hair a wash with ARROJO's Gentle Shampoo ($17, store.arrojoproduct.com) and followed it up with a dose of the Gentle Conditioner ($18, store.arrojoproduct.com). Both the shampoo and the conditioner use honey to soothe, agave to revitalize, jojoba to lend silkiness and polish, and vitamin B5 to add moisture, smoothness, and shine. The shampoo is a little thinner in texture than most shampoos—it's almost a liquid, and it's totally free from yucky sulfates and sodium chloride—but it suds up just as well, if not better, and with a delightful, herby verbena scent to boot. Technically it's not a clarifying shampoo, but it's so light and gentle that my hair felt as squeaky clean as if it had been one. The conditioner did its job without weighing my hair down, with the end result being soft, shiny, gunk-free hair.
Read Beauty Road Test: Yes to Tomatoes, Cucumbers, and Gorgeous, Clear Skin!
Next, it was time for a little experimentation. For my first experiment, I worked some of the ARROJO Styling Whip ($18, store.arrojoproduct.com) through my damp, lightly towel-dried hair and let it do its thing naturally by air drying it. Like the shampoo and condition, the Styling Whip is super light. The argan oil infused with the product creates shine and luster while simultaneously repairing damage; meanwhile, a little dimethicone smoothes, calms, and fights frizz. Once it was dry, all I needed to do was lightly hit the top layers with a curling iron (like Jill at Butterfly Studio salon taught me!), and suddenly I had awesome, shiny, and wavy yet tame locks. Also, the Styling Whip smells like Linden blossoms. Delish.
Bonus tip: If you've got thin or flat hair (this isn't a problem I usually have, since I have SO. MUCH. HAIR, but hey, not everyone is as lucky/cursed as I am), you can also whip up a cocktail of the Styling Whip plus ARROJO's Volume Foam ($16, store.arrojoproduct.com). Mix it together, work it through damp hair, blow dry, and voila! Get both the softness and shine of the Styling Whip and the fullness and hold of the Volume Foam.
For experiment number two, I tried something different: After washing, I worked just a tiny bit of the ARROJO Pomade ($20, store.arrojoproduct.com) through my damp hair, blow dried it, and took a flat iron to it. After it was dry and straight, I worked a little more of the pomade through it to add texture and hold. The pomade boasts natural beeswax, which adds fantastic definition while reducing volume and frizz. I ended up with a sleek, slightly piece-y, yet marvelously frizz-free look. Success? I think so!
You can find all of the ARROJO products online at store.arrojoproducts.com. If the products I tested out here aren't your thing, there are plenty of others to choose from, including Set & Style Spray, Thermal Protector, and the brand-new ReFinish Dry Shampoo.

Control Room, Scene #05

Scene Info
Tony Orion learns one of the hardest lessons in the Control Room: restraint. The greedy stud lies on his stomach in a full latex straight jacket begging for cock. Adam Ramzi steps up, whips out his perfect prick, and shoves it down Orion's throat. At first Orion seems satisfied but before long he's crying out for more dick. That's when horse-hung Tony Defendi answers the call. The aggressive top literally pummels Orion's face with his massive tree trunk-like cock. Even though he's gagging on the giant meat Tony begs for more so Adam slides his big cock right up alongside Defendi's dick. Even with a mouthful of two thick cocks Orion begs for more so Defendi and Ramzi pull out and leave him with none. To further torment his captive, Defendi spits on Orion and turns his full attention to Ramzi. He eats the stud's ass, sucks his cock, then rams his 10-incher deep in his hole. The fucking continues until Ramzi shoots his load followed by Defendi who pulls out and blows a massive spray of thick white cum all over Ramzi's chiseled abs.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) -- Police responding to a report of an abandoned vehicle in northeast Ohio say they found an unexpected passenger in the back seat: a 250-pound potbellied pig named Penelope.
The Vindicator in Youngstown (http://bit.ly/VzyyDA ) reports the vehicle apparently was stolen while the Pennsylvania woman who owns the pig was visiting a friend in town. On Monday afternoon, officers found the pig sitting in the vehicle, which appeared to have crashed. It had two flat tires and heavy front end damage, and the air bags had deployed.
A police report indicated officers had the vehicle towed with the swine still inside, and an agent from an animal protection organization was contacted.
Police were looking for suspects in the vehicle theft.

"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." (Matthew 5:8)
Wouldn't you like to see God? Wouldn't you like to see with your own eyes the God Who created your eyes? Wouldn't you like to spend time with Him in person and to know firsthand what He is really like?
The Bible says that nobody human has ever seen God, but the Bible also says that "the pure in heart…shall see God." How can that be? Jesus preached that, through Him, it is possible to see the Father. In Jesus's "Sermon on the Mount," He tells us how it is that we can see God. What does Matthew 5:8 say that we need to be in order to see God? We need to be "pure in heart"! But what does it mean to be "pure in heart"? What does it mean to be "pure"?
To be "pure" means you don't have anything in you that isn't supposed to be there. If you have a glass of pure water, that means there isn't anything in the glass except water. No dirt, no bugs, no poison – or anything else – but water. If something else is in the water, then it is not pure water.
For a person to be pure means there is nothing in him that isn't supposed to be there. He is just like God made him to be. In other words, there is no sin in him. The problem is, no human being is born the way God originally made him or her to be. Because Adam and Eve sinned, we are all born with sinful natures. So how can we become "pure in heart" and get back to the way God intended for us to be – pure-hearted? Through Jesus Christ! If you are believing on Jesus Christ and trusting in His righteousness to be your righteousness, then Jesus purifies your heart (makes your heart pure). His blood washes away the record of your sin and frees you from the power of sin. Not only can Jesus cleanse and purify your heart one time, but He can keep on helping you to keep on purifying your heart.
So what does a pure-hearted person look like? Well, he is someone who will not keep on sinning on purpose. Instead, he is trying to keep himself free from sin. That means keeping sin out of whatever he does, whatever he thinks, and whatever he wants. That is what it means to be pure in heart. Psalm 15 describes a pure-hearted person, if you would like to learn more about what a pure-hearted person is like. Psalm 15 clearly teaches that the only way to have fellowship with God is to be pure in heart.
What is the promise to those who are pure in heart? They shall see God! But what does it mean to "see" God?
First, to "see" God means to understand His ways. He is sinless. That is what He wants us to be, too. And when we are, we will understand Him more and love Him more, and we will be able to talk to Him in prayer with a clean conscience. This is the idea of having fellowship with God, knowing firsthand what He really is like. God is a spirit, so He is "knowable" through pure-hearted fellowship.
But there really is a way that pure-hearted believers will get to "see" God with their own eyes. "They shall see God" means just that. We who are saved by Jesus Christ will get to see God in eternity. In this earthly life, we can "see" God in the understanding sense, through Jesus Christ's righteousness. And in the new heaven and the new earth, we will be able to be with God and to "see" Him with our own eyes, because of what Jesus Christ did for us.
God promises that the "pure in heart" will see Him!
My Response: » Do I try not to sin? » In my heart, am I really wanting to know and have fellowship with God? » If I am not enjoying fellowship with God right now, what might be my problem?
"Lord, I long to be with Thee!"
William Williams, a famous Welsh evangelist with two "matching" names, was born on February 11, 1717.
The Welsh – people who live in the country of Wales – have long been known for being musical people. Crowds at sporting events have been known for breaking out into singing. It should be no surprise, then, that Williams has been called the "Isaac Watts of Wales." Isaac Watts was a famous English hymn writer and William Williams has become the most famous Welsh hymn writer in history. Very few hymns were written in Wales before he began writing.
Williams was also a kind of "circuit-riding preacher" in Wales, only he sang the Gospel and taught others how to sing about it. Over a period of 43 years, he traveled nearly 100,000 miles on horseback. He traveled from church to church, and from home to home, sharing the Gospel with people who needed to hear it (which was all the people!). He wrote over 800 hymns during his lifetime. The most famous song that William Williams wrote is called "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah." It has been translated into 75 languages! The second verse reads like this:
Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield;
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.
William Williams believed that singing was as important as any other part of worship. He believed that music shows what is in the heart.
Do you have a song in your heart? Do you enjoy singing about how Jesus Christ has changed your life? Sing for Him!
Psalm 40:3 – He has put a new song in my mouth – praise to our God; many will see it and fear, and will trust in the LORD.
God of My Mercy - Elohe Chaseddiy
Psalm 59:10 "The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies."
Yes, belief followed by water baptism is the example of the New Testament. Acts 8:37a – And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest [be baptized].
The Great Commission is the last command that Jesus gave His disciples before He ascended into heaven after rising from the dead. It is a command to be making disciples of people and to do it in a certain way, by the authority and help of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19-20). For someone to become a true disciple of Jesus, he/she must understand, believe and identify with God's truth about salvation by faith alone in Jesus Christ. Mark 16:15-16 – And he said unto them, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

2) What software is popular with viewing, editing, saving and emitting RFID signals? (Like Aircrack-ng suite but for RFID. And preferably already in Backtrack)
3) Is there any papers or other information I should read before or while I learn about this new area or interest for me?

Chardon victim's families file lawsuit
(Chardon,Oh.) The families of Demetrius Hewlin, Daniel Parmertor and Russell King, Jr., the three boys murdered by convicted killer T.J. Lane in the Chardon High School Cafeteria February 27th, 2012, have filed a lawsuit against the United Way for denying them access to the Chardon Healing Fund, a charity set up for the community in the aftermath of the deadly shooting.
The lawsuit alleges the United Way of Greater Cleveland and the United Way of Geauga County, administrators of the fund, have blocked the families from collecting money that they were entitled to.
The victim's families have received about $150,000 from the fund, which has accumulated about $952,000 dollars. Several requests for money have been denied.
In February 2013, the trustee for the Chardon Healing Fund notified the families that they were cut off, and would receive no additional money.
The United Way of Greater Cleveland and the United Way of Geagua County released the following statement:
"It is impossible to quantify the terrible loss of life and other suffering from the tragic events at Chardon High School on February 27, 2012. Our thoughts and support continue to go out to all those impacted. United Way Services of Geauga County was asked by the community to help facilitate the Chardon Healing Fund and has donated its work. We are confident the Fund has been managed in an open and transparent manner according to its Guiding Principles."
"The Mission of the Chardon Healing Fund is to facilitate the long term recovery and healing of the community from the profound events at Chardon High School to address the immediate needs of the families directly impacted by the event effectively, and to foster the on-going emotional and physical well-being of the students and staff of the Chardon Local Schools and the greater community."
"The Chardon Healing Fund is administered by an 11-member, all-volunteer Board from a wide range of the community, including business leaders, civic and public officials, the religious community, the school district, and more. All of the funds, 100%, are going to meet the charitable mission of the Chardon Healing Fund to benefit the healing of the community."
"The fund distributed more than $417,000 to the six families of children killed or injured by the tragedy. This includes paying bills, making home modifications and providing counseling and supportive services as needed. Out of respect for the privacy of the families, the specifics of that assistance are confidential between the Fund and each individual family. In addition, the Fund has received much guidance from national trauma experts and others who have experienced similar tragedies that healing is a long-term process."
"Acting on that advice, and being true to our Mission, the Fund has worked continually and in a collaborative manner with mental health experts, the schools and others in the community to identify ways to help in the healing process and move the community forward in a positive direction."
"The Fund has sponsored numerous community educational sessions on grief, trauma and healing, enhanced the intensive treatment and support provided at Chardon High School, partially funded a school resource officer at the high school, and more. The Fund remains committed to serving as a leader of community collaborations and as a conduit of support from many generous businesses, individuals and organizations to the Chardon community."

DURHAM, N.C. – Playing its season opener, the University of Pennsylvania men's lacrosse team hung with defending NCAA champion Duke for most of the night at the Blue Devils' Koskinen Stadium. However, in the end it was Duke's experienced offense that provided the edge as the No. 2 Blue Devils (3-0) defeated the Quakers, 9-6.
It wasn't until late in the third quarter that Duke was able to extend its lead beyond two goals, and the Blue Devils' advantage was never more than four on the night.
Case Matheis got things going just 39 seconds into Friday's contest, scoring off an assist from Deemer Class, but Penn's All-America candidate in the midfield, Zack Losco, quickly got it back off a feed from Pat Berkery in a man-up situation.
Jordan Wolf and Matheis scored with four minutes of each other to push Duke ahead, 3-1, but Drew Belinsky finished a feed from Berkery with 3:57 left in the first quarter, again in a man-up situation. However, the Blue Devils scored with just 15 seconds left in the quarter to make it 4-2 after one period.
The only goal in the second quarter came from Penn, as Joe McCallion finished a Losco feed with just 10 seconds left before halftime. That sent the teams to their locker rooms with Duke's lead just 4-3.
Wolf opened the second-half scoring with 11:40 left in the third, but freshman Kevin Brown netted his first collegiate goal for Penn to keep the Quakers within one, at 5-4. However, Chris Hipps scored an unassisted goal, and that started the Blue Devils off on a three-goal spurt. The second one came with just eight seconds left in the third quarter, and the third came near the midway point of the fourth.
Penn went more than a full quarter of play without scoring, but Losco ended the drought with 5:53 left that made the score 8-5. Duke got that goal back when Wolf fired home his third of the night, before Isaac Bock finished a Belinsky feed in another man-up situation with just 44 seconds left to close out the scoring.
Penn and Duke matched up evenly in the shots department, each team taking 33. For Penn, Brian Feeney made 10 saves, while at the other end Luke Aaron made 11 stops for the win. Losco stuffed the box score with his three points; he had seven shots in the game, two caused turnovers, and three ground balls.
Penn is home for its next two games, starting Tuesday night when the Quakers host local rival Saint Joseph's at Franklin Field. The Quakers and Hawks will face off at 7 p.m.

Feminism | Posted by Amanda P on 12/5/2012
This past summer, I wrote about street harassment and highlighted my own as well as my friends' experiences concerning this matter. Since then I have learned, grown and have more to say on this matter.
I went to a colloquium style lecture over the weekend concerning the rhetoric surrounding sexual assault and rape. During the session, a number of misconceptions and myths were discussed and the facts, as far as the research is concerned, made very clear. The discussion was lead by a prevention specialist at the rape crisis center in the Cleveland area. I want to share what stuck out the most to me:
1) 8 out of 10 men are not comfortable with words like "bitch" or "slut" being directed at women. I know what you're thinking; because …

Related story: San Bernardino political activist vindicated on child porn charge, record ordered destroyed
View: Sheriff's report
A political watchdog and former aide to Rep. Joe Baca, charged in 2009 with felony possession of child pornography but whose case was dismissed due to insufficient evidence, has filed a $7.5 million claim against the county.
The claim, filed March 28, names Deputy District Attorney Maryanne Choi, sheriff's Detective Michael Pelkey, and District Attorney Michael Ramos as those responsible for the damage done to Sam Clauder, which occurred between February 2009, when Clauder was arrested, and Sept. 28, 2012, when a judge dismissed the case.
Choi requested in September that the case against Clauder be dismissed "in the interest of justice" after a report prepared by an independent computer forensics expert, hired by Clauder at a cost of $20,000, revealed that the child pornography was likely planted on Clauder's computer by his son, Trey Stancher. Stancher subsequently confessed to sheriff's Sgt. Roberto Lomeli in a Sept. 20 interview that he saved several child pornographic images to his father's computer, and that he had "uncontrollable hate" for his father, according to Lomeli's report.
Stancher later recanted his confession.
During an October interview with The Sun, Stancher maintained he did not plant the evidence, but refused to go into detail about computer forensic expert Sheryl Katz's findings, saying he feared for the safety of he and his mother.
Katz concluded, after a month-long examination of Clauder's computer hard drive, that the most likely source of several child porn images found on Clauder's computer was from peer-to-peer networking software used on Stancher's account. Peer-to-peer file transfer, Katz wrote in her report, is the most commonly used method for sharing child porn.
In addition, Katz discovered Clauder's computer had nearly 30,000 system events, with daily activity, between May 1 and July 7, 2008, when Clauder had not been residing at his Crestline home with his wife and son. Clauder's wife, Lana Pittman, and Stancher told sheriff's detectives they had no use of Clauder's computer during his absence from the home, and that his account was password protected, an allegation Katz found to be untrue.
Detectives from the sheriff's High Tech Crime Unit had overlooked the evidence during their investigation.
At the time of Clauder's arrest, he and his wife were going through a bitter divorce. Clauder maintained from the get-go that his wife and son trumped up the child porn allegations to gain leverage in the divorce case.
Clauder has accused the District Attorney's Office of a "false, malicious and selective prosecution," and has requested that the FBI investigate.
District Attorney spokesman Christopher Lee declined comment.
"I've never heard of a more grievous case of police misconduct ruining an obviously innocent man's life and reputation," Tim Prince, Claunder's attorney, said in a statement Wednesday. "The investigating officers were eager to ruin Clauder's life without examining the evidence or alleged witnesses. How do you unring a bell which tolled for years? "
Before his arrest, Clauder was active in the county's Democratic political circle, aligning himself with the county's Democratic Central Committee and gaining employment as an aide to Baca, D-Rialto. He lost his job with Baca and found himself alienated by his political peers following his arrest.
