you never know what's going to happen when you're plane is forced to land early
The flight home to San Diego became quite ominous an hour in when we were told that there was a rather large storm ahead of us. We were to return to our seats and buckle in and put our tray tables up in their upright positions. Now, traveling as much as I do this is nothing new just a little turbulence and a detour of the flight but we should be okay.
Well a half hour later we were flying through a pretty bad snowstorm and we were ordered to turn around and land at the nearest airport. Kansas City was the nearest place to land. We were about twenty minutes out and the plane felt like we were on a large roller coaster. The elderly lady that was sitting next to me at the window began to panic a little and called the airhostess over to ask for something to calm her nerves.
A minute or so later came quite a vision as she approached I noticed her legs at first and then a very attractive face and when she finally leaned over to turn off the call button I noticed her name Ava. She explained that she couldn't give her any kind of pill or medication. Together we began to talk with her and she finally calmed down and a few minutes we landed without any incidents. Once we were in the terminal all flights were cancelled and we would have to deplane and would be put up by the airline.
Once I got myself settled in at the hotel I made my way down to the lounge and decided that a couple of drinks would be in order. After a couple of shots and beers Ava walked into the lounge. Now she looked quite different out of her uniform but it definitely was her. She made her way over to the bar and sat down. I called the bartender over and bought her a drink.
Ava thanked me and made her way over and sat down on the barstool next to me and told me that I was very sweet trying to help my grandmother during the flight. I explained to her that I was alone then a smile crept over her face. After an hour or so of drinking together and doing shots Ava invited me back to her room. Having the chance to fuck and airhostess is a fantasy that most traveling businessmen have and now I had the chance of a lifetime.
When we got back to her room Ava wrapped her arms around me and planted a kiss on me and finally made to the bed. We began groping each other and after ten minutes or so we both looked like two hockey players whom just went at it. Ava excused her self tried to straighten out her blouse blew me a kiss and went into the bathroom. Just as she was about to shut the door she leaned back blew me a kiss and said, "Relax I'll be right out."
Ava came out of the bathroom wearing her bra and panties, she had on thigh highs and high heels. Her breasts were a lot larger than I expected. She hid them very well under her uniform during the flight. This was a nice picture to see, especially after a long flight.
She walked over to me and gave me a small peck on the cheek. "I'm thirsty Danny do you want something to drink?" It seems she's always plays the airhostess.
"Sure, how about some Vodka."
"You just sit back and relax while I pour us some drinks and we can get a little more comfortable."
Ava poured us our drinks and sashayed back over to the bed and sat down. I pulled her close and kissed her. We both threw down our drinks like shots. Ava let out a big whoa whoa then smiled at me and reached down my underwear and grabbed my cock. I returned her smile and I pulled her mouth close and kissed her.
Ava said, "You and I are going to get it on really dirty and nasty."
Ava Stood up in front of me and dropped her panties to the floor. I wrapped my hands around her ass. Ava shivered from her ass all the way up to her head then my fingers crept their way to her surprisingly wet and very juicy pussy. We continued to make out as she stroked my cock underneath my underwear as my fingers delved deeper and deeper into her love canal. As we were playing with each other I thought, "Now this is was turning out to be a great lay over." I stood up wanting to release my man meat to make it easier for Ava, so I slipped off my underwear. Ava looked me in the eye and I said, "You want this big fucking cock Ava?"
Ava she dropped down to her knees and looked at my cock smiled at it and started talking to it and said, "I want to suck you – you're a nice big fat dick. I want to suck on your big knobby head; come on let me suck that fucking cock.
Ava took my cock in her hands and she spread her knees apart and began playing with her pussy as my cock disappeared inside of her mouth. Her free hand went to my balls and Ava pushed my rod into her mouth and she was able to engulf me completely. It felt so good inside of her wet and welcoming mouth and then down her tight throat.
Looking down at my little layover I grabbed the back of her head and began fucking her throat. "Oh yeah baby come on suck me. Eat my rod baby – damn baby you got some skills."
Ava leaned back off of my cock and it slid out she gave me a sly little smile and said, "Look at the big fuckin' head, I love it." She then slid her hands up onto my head and spread open my slit on the top of my head. "Look at that fuckin' hole. Is that where all that sperm is going to pour out of, God I've got to suck you." Ava went back to sucking me again.
This by far is the most aggressive woman that I have ever been with. She was in control and I loved it as I sat back and watched her suck and swallow my cock.
"Come on Ava open you mouth I want to fuck your mouth like it's your pussy. Come on give my your fucking mouth, it's so wet and sloppy." I put my foot on her back and she reached up and grabbed my balls, as she was deep throating me as I pushed her head down on me and I said, "Come on lick my balls bitch while my cock is down your fuckin' throat."
Ava started licking my balls then she finally came up for air and said, "Oh my God look at that asshole – yeah baby I've gotta have it." I swung my leg around and I bent forward Ava got back to her knees and spread my ass cheeks apart. Then her soft tongue began to bath my asshole. "Wow, look at your man pussy – I've got to eat your ass pussy baby."
Her thumbs spread my asshole apart as the tip of her tongue went right up my asshole.
I began moving my ass all over her face as I grabbed her head and forced it into my ass. Ava put her one hand on my shaft then started jerking me as she continued to eat my asshole. Over the next couple of minutes Ava alternated between sucking my cock and eating my asshole. I felt my cum ready to blow in her mouth and that was the last thing I wanted to do was blow my load in two minutes. I pulled my cock out and pulled Ava up and threw her down on the bed.
I switched roles with Ava. I helped her up and she gave me a soft passionate kiss then I tossed her down onto the bed, I fell to my knees and pushed her legs apart then I finally got to see her pussy. I couldn't wait anymore. I wanted to eat her cunt as well as she ate sucked my cock. My tongue plunged into her warm and wet juicy pussy. She really was playing with it good because there was so much juice it was like she had already came.
"Oh, come on Danny spit on my fucking holes." I did as I was told. "Come on suck on my fuckin' clit. Oh yes that feels so fucking good. Come on eat my ass, eat me like I did you, don't you want to taste my ass juices?" Whatever she was going to tell me to do I was willing at this point. "That's it Danny use your tongue and your nose, fuck my pussy and ass with your nose and your tongue. Fuck yes, fill me up with your tongue – fuck yes – you are so unbelievably good."
Going down on her sand smelling her cunt juices and her shithole began to really turn me on and I wanted to make her cum on my tongue. "Danny stick some fingers up my fuckin asshole too and clean my fucking cunt with your tongue. Yeah clean my pussy – clean my pussy – clean my fucking pussy with your tongue – come on put a third finger up my asshole Danny, don't worry I can take it abuse it shove them up inside nice and hard. Come on jam them up there."
I was really abusing her pussy with my tongue and I jammed fingers as hard and as deep as I could inside of her shithole. Ava looked down at me and I gave her a little smile and she smiled back at me and stuck her tongue out and licked her lips and her mouth and said. "Can I taste my ass that's all over your face?"
I moved two fingers now in her asshole and two fingers up her pussy while eating her clit and pussy. "Yeah that feels so fucking good. Oh yeah that feels so good – yeah so good – that is so fucking good. Damn Danny you are one nice surprise. Now fucking kiss me. Get up here I want to taste all my juices that are all over you!" I immediately got up and she opened her mouth and our tongues went at it. She was tasting her asshole and pussy and I got to taste my asshole that was left on her tongue. It was so fucking hot that we both didn't care we were just going for it.
As we were kissing I kept my fingers moving in and out of her asshole and when her eyes rolled up in the back of her head she said, "Come on Danny I want taste my ass from your fingers – yes I want to taste I want to taste my asshole." I pushed my fingers down her throat and she sucked off all of her ass juice from my fingers.
"Yeah Ava stay right there, that's it stay right there." I then stepped between her legs and got up on the bed and grabbed the back of her head and buried my cock back on her throat. "Fuck yeah girl that's good – fuck YEAH." I then began to alternate once again making her suck my cock and eat my asshole. She was being just as obedient as I was.
She looked so fucking hot as I jerked my cock off ass I pulled her hair and made her eat my asshole then suck my balls then deep throat my hard fucking cock.
I couldn't handle it anymore I just want to feel what her other two holes were going to feel like and how find out if she was going to be a good fuck or not. I let her spin up on her knees and when I got a good look at her rump. My hands went right to her ass cheeks and spanked her like the dirty little whore that she was.
"Yeah Danny spank me."
"You my dirty little whore?"
"I'll be your dirty little whore."
I wanted to fuck her in the ass so my tongue went back down to her asshole. "Eat that ass – yeah that fucking asshole yeah – oh yeah, that's it baby give me that fucking rim job baby – oh yeah baby that's right. You like tasting my ass don't you? Eat that fucking ass."
I pushed her down on the bed and grabbed her leg and spread her legs open and with a big smile she said, "Come on baby you ready to pre-board baby? Now I need to get fucked, look at that big fat fucking cock."
"You want some cock in that juicy cunt? You ready? Here it comes baby."
She laid back and I slipped my cock into her wet slit. "Oh Danny that is so good. Come on give me your big fucking head inside of me. You are such a good fuck – Oh yeah fuck that pussy baby."
Her cunt felt so good that I didn't need all that much encouragement to fuck her. Her pussy was small and tight but when she squeezed her pussy walls around the shaft of my cock it felt so good. "Do you want some in your ass? Let me fuck you in the ass. Come on tell me that you want my big cock up your ass."
"Give me that big dick up my ass. Come on baby you can do anything you want."
My cock slid up her ass and man it was tight. "Yes, baby I'm just going to lay here and let you fuck me up the ass. You can fuck me all night up the ass with that bigheaded cock baby. I'm going to lay here and take that big fuckin' cock"
"That's right take that cock up your asshole – take it in the ass like the airhostess whore that you are bitch. Yeah you serve a real special meal I wanted my cock sucked and fucked. Getting a special desert of pussy and ass."
"Danny take it out I want to taste your big dick – I want to taste my ass on your dick baby."
"Stay right there I'll come to you." I pulled out and straddled her chest and buried my ass juice stained cock back down her throat again. "Now taste my ass – that's it good girl eat your shit tasting cock and eat my ass." She ate me so good but I wanted more of her ass. "So, do you want more cock up your ass?"
"Ooh yeah – fuck yeah – "
"You want more cock up your ass?"
"Pleeeeaaase give me more – "
"Why does it feel good?"
"Yeah because it's one big fuckin' dick and I want my asshole stretched out – turn me into a big fat fuckin' slut – make me a big cock slut – yeah come on loosen up my asshole for me. That's it keep pounding my asshole baby. Come on make me be able to take that big fucking cock of yours. I want to be able to take it all night long."
"That's it – you want to be my little dirty girl?"
"Yes, I'll be your dirty little girl. Just keep fucking me, pound me. Come on stretch it out – stretch it out. Ooh baby I want to taste it again. Come on make me eat it, make me eat it."
I stood up and she crawled off of the bed. "You like the taste of your ass on my cock don't you?"
"Danny I just can't get enough of your cock in all of my holes. I'm a slave for your big fucking cock now."
"Just get down here and eat my cock you anal fucking whore." She took my cock back in her mouth again like she was a pro. "That's it I like it went you take me deep. Eat me nice and deep. Let me fill your mouth up with my cock. Oh yes come on swallow me I love it when my balls slap up against your chin."
Her tongue slipped out of her mouth and began licking my balls with my cock still buried in her stretched out throat. When Ava finally came up for some air she dipped her head down and her tongue found a familiar target once again – my asshole. I pulled her up and we both could smell pussy and cock and ass on each other as we stood in front of the mirror making out with each other and groping one another.
After we calmed down a little Ava looked me in the eyes and said, "It's my turn to do some of the fucking. She led me over to the nice chair that was in the corner and sat me down and spun around and said, "Danny help me guide your big fat cock back up my asshole. Come on pop it in me."
"Damn you are one dirty girl."
"I am – I am a dirty girl – I'm a dirty anal whore – I'm a big fuckin' cock lover." She was pounding my cock riding me really hard. I swung myself around in back of her and got two fingers up her pussy and could feel my cock stretching her nasty asshole open.
"I love your big fucking cock – Oh yeah I love big fuckin dick I love big fucking cocks up my tiny whore asshole. Now I'm going to grind you I'm going to grind my asshole on your big fucking dick."
Her ass thrashed all over my lap as she was grinding my cock. This was the airhostess with the mostest that is for sure. Then as good as it was my cock popped out.
"NO NO NO Danny it popped out. That's okay it's just not wet enough. Let me suck on it again so it won't pop out anymore. Come on let me suck it I want to suck it like the pig fuckin' whore that I am."
Ava went back down on her knees again. All I know is that this chick loved the taste of her shit that was coating the shaft of my cock. It seemed like she couldn't get enough of my cock in her asshole or her mouth but who the fuck cares. Here I am fucking an air stewardess on a layover. All I can say is that this is customer service.
She climbed back on top of me facing me and her big titties were hitting me in the face. I was sucking on them and fondling them as much as I could as she bounced up and down on my cock once again. I should have came by now with this fucking nasty whore but her jumping on and off of my cock every couple of minutes my cum didn't know whether to shoot or stay at home.
"Feed me baby feed me your cock baby come on tell me again come tell me."
"You need me to feed your fucking ass with my cock."
"I need you to feed it I need you to feed my asshole." She was now sliding from the tip of my cock all the was down to the bottom of my shaft. She was just pounding the shit of my cock. "Oh yeah Danny you are busting my ass – stretch it I want you to stretch my asshole."
"Come on fill your asshole up with my big fat fucking cock baby." I was getting real close to Cumming once again and my balls were filling up with cum ready to shoot up the shaft of my cock when once again just like if she knew she bounced right off of my cock. She spun around grabbed my cock once again and smile at me as she rubbed my cock all over her face. "That's it baby rub your ass juice all over your whore mouth and whore face." I stood up and grabbed the back of her head and forced it down on my ass and said, "Here rub my real ass all over your face."
My ass was grinding all over her face and when I came all the way back I forced my cock down her mouth and throat then out and all the way back to my asshole again. "Come on bend over for me on the chair, stick that ass up in the air. Ava got up on the chair on her knees, sticking her ass up in the air like a pussycat. "Come spank that tight round ass."
She started spanking her ass and said, "I am such a fuck nasty little ass slut – I want my ass wrecked all fucking night long. You better not cum to fucking soon you boy toy because I am a dirty nasty whore. Look, look at my ass daddy spank my ass daddy I'm a bad girl"
I went to town on her ass. I was winding up like I was going to throw fastballs and smacked her ass then slammed my cock back up he asshole again.
"Oh you're giving it to me you're giving it to me inch by inch. I love it baby slam me and make me cum baby." My cock began to thrust as hard as I could because I wanted one of us to cum. It didn't take too much I grabbed her hips and pulled her hair a little then. "YYYYEEESSS MOOOTHHER FUCKERRRR POUND MY FUCKING ASS AND MAKE ME CUM. Ooooh ooooh ooooh you have got one good fat big cock and it feels so damn good in my ass. Put your cock in my pussy and clean my pipe baby"
I finally got to fuck her pussy. As my cock slipped in as I was slowly pull out her pussy juice would trickle out and run down her thighs. "Come on eat your pussy off of my cock." I got around and she opened her mouth and she sucked her pussy off of me. "Come on let me fuck that pretty face."
Ava was on her knees and I was pulling her hair and forcing her head down on my shaft as I grinded her face with my cock down her throat. I reached back and got two fingers up her pussy. "Come on eat my cock. Suck me off baby. You are one dirty girl, don't forget about my balls and my ass."
"I love your fucking asshole it tastes so fucking good. I love eating you out I love my tongue going inside of your asshole." The crack of my ass was buried over her face and her tongue worked feverishly on my asshole.
I picked her up and then walked her over to the bed and she laid down and spread her legs and looked me in the eyes and said. "Fuck me – fuck my pussy I want to cum on your big fat cock. Come on climb on board and fly me to orgasm heaven with your cock honey."
I then slipped my cock inside of her. My god her cunt was like we were in a swimming pool and it was full of water. It was hot and slick but I wanted to fuck it all the more. I began to pound her missionary and instinctively we were kissing each other and the taste of our assholes and her pussy juice to my surprise tasted fantastic.
"Ooh Danny pound me you're going to make me cum."
"You wanna cum on my cock? Cum all over my fat cock. I want your cum all over my big dick." She was moaning and groaning for the next couple of minutes then she bit her lip and then shot her load all over the shaft of my cock. "You wanna taste your cunt?"
"Yeah I want to taste my pussy then it's your turn to cum."
Once again I pulled out and once again she took my cock from one of her many holes and buried deep down her throat. The one thing I can say for sure is that she really knows how to suck a cock. The other thing is that she has an ass fetish. Ava then just took over and sucked my cock, balls and asshole. She has one of the most amazing tongues.
I finally grabbed her hair and just decided that it was time to cum and fucked her mouth and throat. It didn't take long as I would have to say I was ready to cum about three of four times already. I just pumped and pumped down her throat and Ava wanted my cum as much as I wanted to give it to her.
As I felt my cum fill up my balls I pulled out of her mouth and told her to jerk me off. Ava leaned back and grabbed my sopping wet cock and jerked me. She opened her wonderful mouth that has been eating her ass juice and pussy juice off the shaft of my cock and I was ready to deposit a load in the same mouth.
"Come on Ava jerk it into your mouth."
"Yeah Danny I want in my mouth and face and all over me. Spray me with your love juice from your nice big fat fucking cock."
"Oh my fucking god you dirty nasty little whore here I cuuummmmm."
"That's it, that's it spray me, spray me with your baby juice. Oh god look at it just fly out of that little hole down into my mouth. Feed me feed me your cum."
I pushed my cock back into her cum dumpster of a mouth and said, "Come on suck every last drop of my cum out of balls."
I drained my load all over her. After I got done I took her by the hand and led her into the bathroom and we took a shower together. We ordered some room service and maid service to clean the bed. Later that night Ava rolled on top of me and we fucked for another hour or so. The next morning we woke up together got ready and we landed back in San Diego later that afternoon. After the flight Ava and I exchanged phone numbers and she had a two-day layover that was spent in my bed.

Tonight at 10, Deadliest Warrior fights dirty when the Mafia squares off against the Yakuza, and we learn just how savage a street fight can get.
Our battle this week is the first really modern matchup we've done. It's also the closest to home we've yet seen. If you stop and think about it, in the course of your daily routine, you might walk past a member of either gang in your daily life, but you'd never even know it.
Those of you who have been watching The Aftermath know that this is what Barry would call a rock vs. rock fight. Or in this case, a submachine-gun-and-explosive vs. submachine-gun-and-incendiary-device fight. We're pitting the tools, tactics, and mindsets of 1920's Mafia toughs vs. post-war 1940's Yakuza gangsters. Tonight, the streets run red.
I've already seen some murmuring about how tonight's opponents aren't warriors in the traditional sense, that they weren't part of a regular army. But both come from the world of organized crime, which may lack military discipline, but adheres to its own particular codes.
But we're not here to delve deeply into what defines the psyche of a Made Man as opposed to his un-made counterpart, nor are we here to debate the finer points of yubitsume, the Yakuza's finger cutting ritual. We're here to talk about carnage.
Tonight's fight is the first time we've tested modern firearms, putting the ballistics (literally) into our ballistics gel. We've also created courses and target ranges to test the effectiveness of our expert's guns, to see how much damage they can lay down before having to reload, and how long it takes them to (accurately) empty a magazine. We're dealing with a variety of vicious close combat weapons, but also two different classes of incendiary device. Because of all the mayhem being brought to bear, we've had to change our formula a little bit.
Tonight's fight isn't going to be a one-on-one showdown, but rather a five-on-five fight at the squad level. We're still running the simulator until we get a thousand kills, but this time the bodies get piled higher and faster.
That's what's new to tonight's matchup. What hasn't changed is our pursuit of the most brutal weapons from each time period. Tonight's matchup can be seen as a comparison between the weapons available to the criminal underworld both prior to and then immediately after World War II.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
I know this has been discussed a lot but I am not sure what is the latest info/news. so I bought this Z10 few weeks ago and NEVER used it because when I tried to switch my device to the new one, it didn't transfer my SMS/text messages to the new device.
I tried MANY MANY Times. switching from my 9780 to Z10 using Mac... everything transfered excpet my texts.
Tried to use desktop maneger on my PC and still everything is there except my text messages.
tried to switch from my 9780 to 9360 (since its running OS7) and then tried to go from 9360 to Z10 still the same issue... text messages still not there....
when I was using Link and switched the two devices it shows that everything including the SMS/MMS transfered just fine without a problem
tried to do a media card backup and then restor it in the Z10... still the same issue... no SMS/texts
I can actually see the names/numbers of the people that texted me on my older device (also the exact right order in which the texted me on my old device) but when I open them they are just empty. nothing is there
So I deiceded I am just going to sell the Z10 (which I did) and stick with my old device because there is no way I can use it without my old texts.... plus I didn't like the keyboard so it was kinda ok...
anyway I bought a Q10 now because it has a keyboard (which was the main issue with the Z10 for me) and went through all the above!! still everything gets transfered except my text messages. I was messing with it and tried to search for words from my texts messages and I was able to find some of the OLD text messages (like from 1+ years or maybe older) but thats about it.
Right now I am trying to use Blackberry Protect and hoping for the best but something tells me it will not work...........
any ideas on what I can do here??? EVERYTHING I need is there my only problem is SMS/MMS. I have spent hours today reading online, trying different things, and no luck. The same when I had the Z10... I wasted hours and hours and ended up selling it and losing money without actually using the device for more than an hour of actual use
I wish this backup/restore thing is just as easy as iPhones or the older blackberry devices
please help me before I go back to my old blackberyy because that's what I will have to do if this doesn't work out again........... which SUCKS!!
Solved! Go to Solution.
05-22-2013 02:27 AM - edited 05-22-2013 02:32 AM
nevermind found it. its already built into the device. trying to restore it now... hopefully it will work........
ok finally it kinda worked. For some reason only certain contacts texts disappered but I got I would say around 80% of my texts. which is Great! but my new issue is this. i noticed some of the texts doesn't show the contact name so I figured maybe it is still loading all the contacts from the back up. so I let it do that but now none of the contacts names shows?? I checked and my contacts info are there with the correct number and everything but in the texts it doesn't show any name! just phone numbers! I have the contacts save with the country and area code but still...
ok got it all fixed. Black Berry Protect was the only way to do it..... thanks
I still have this problem, how did you fix it?
download BlackBerry Protect on your old device. do a full backup through that app. and then in your new device restore it through black berry protect. wait few hours tell everything gets downloaded in your new phone and you should be good to go!
02-26-2014 02:20 AM - edited 02-26-2014 02:21 AM
Please i have this same issue now.. everything worked fine in my blackberry Q10 until i switched my SIM card to another blackberry briefly for 2 hours without subscribing to BIS.
Then when I put back my SIM card into my Q10 but my text messages all disappered and have refused to work. Now i can no longer receive text messages or send. They are all blank now just like yours.
Please help me and tell me how you corrected yours because I am very frustrated!!
you problem is a little different than what I ran across. do you have blackberry protect? if yes just restore the backup in black berry protect. but remember it will only restore the things on your last back update!
good luck! this phone sucks lol but I am still using it.
Yes I have blackberry protect on both phone but i have put off the blackberry protect on my Q10 since this issue started.
Also, my last backup via blackberry protect shows the last backup i did while using my Bold 9900 last year November.
Does this mean i will also lose my newly added BBM contacts in 2014 if i decide to update with the last year's backup?
This is very very sad...

I don't remember how blackberry protect works but I believe your blackberry contacts are tied with your email. so maybe it doesn't delete those. but you will not get texts that you received after the back up which I know sucks!
but I would double check with someone else though as I am not sure

I'm not creating this thread to bring up the argument of who really deserved 3rd in the ice dancing event in 1998, but I had a question based on a video I just watched. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=U18yDHDTMZc This video has Balkov saying to Senft that he wants Bourne/Kraatz 3rd in the free dance, followed by Lobacheva/Averbukh and then Anissina/Peizerat. Now my question, was Balkov saying that is what the supposed 'bloc' should all do? If it was, then that means at the end of the day, Bourne/Kraatz would have indeed ended up on the podium. (CD1 5th, CD2 4th, OD 4th, FD 3rd = 7.2 compared to Anissina/Peizerat CD1 3rd, CD2 3rd, OD 3rd, FD 5th = 8.0) All I ever hear is how the Canadians were pre-determined to end up in 4th place and a lot of it (if not all of it) had to do with the Balkov recording, and then FROM that came the 'unfair judging' as a whole. But what he says in the piece that they aired sounds like the exact opposite. So did he have other plans for the earlier segments of the competition?
That always seemed strange to me too. And then there's the fact that Jean Senft gave the exact placements he mentioned in the phone call (ETA, actually she had B&K 2nd, above K&O ), and was the only judge to have L&A above A&P. Yuri himself did place B&K 3rd in the FD, but A&P 4th and L&A 5th. Did he really want B&K to win bronze, but then decide he just couldn't justify placing L&A ahead of A&P after the FD was skated or what? Or was he trying to influence Jean to see if she herself would give those placements (which she did, although I won't automatically jump to the conclusion that it was because of intimidation or corruption), for some reason? Was there ever any evidence that he called anyone else besides Jean? I only remember ever hearing about her phone call. Whatever the intention of Yuri's phone call, it was certainly unethical, but it is really odd that it's the Canadians who make him out to be the biggest bad guy of all because of the impression that he was the one who caused B&K not to medal. http://winter-olympic-memories.com/html/results/jp_3d/18_nagano/18_figure/18_figure_d_ex.htm
Mix that in with this video and listen to Judy Blumberg's (an Americans) thoughts throughout the entire OD at the 98 Worlds a month later. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17KVjJJpups She thinks they should be behind even Punsalan/Swallow in that portion, and listen to how many times she has to stress how weak the program is. It's not often that you hear THAT much opinion about a program.. ever. The whole sport was changed in part starting because of the 1998 bloc judging scandal, but everything about the Canadians being the central target and then a Canadian 'exposing' all of it just doesn't add up based on the little information they have (unless someone can direct me to more or the plan Balkov really had)..
Thorny Issue So, the idea would be that Balkov would go against the anti-Canadian bloc in exchange for support for "the Ukrainian skaters." Unfortunately for Jean Senft, the recording didn't confirm her belief that a deal had been struck between the French and Eastern European judges; all it proved was that Balkov was prepared to trade his vote for a favor.
Clearly you're subscribed to 3axel1996. The 1998 Worlds dance vids were a very happy surprise when I awoke this morning and I watched them all. First thing that that stands out to me is how much I enjoyed all of the dances in general. I'm a big IJS supporter, but I do think dance is not nearly as enjoyable to watch as opposed to 6.0. Or maybe this was just an exceptional year for ice dancing. Anyways I found it interesting in both the OD and FD that ABC was trying to push the "B/K as victims of the eville judging bloc" storyline through fluff pieces and Terry Gannon bringing it up during every. freaking. dance. And when Gannon asks his fellow commentator about their thoughts, he gets nothing: Blumberg unequivocally picks apart B/K's OD to a extent, then in the FD, Button calls A/P's Romeo and Juliet "one of the great dances of all time", "superb", and defends the posing in the beginning, for example. Back in 98, I thought A/P deserved their placements over B/K but that it was close. But now, watching their ODs back to back, its shocking how superior A/P were. I know I'm biased as I am looking back at 6.0 dancing through a COP lens, but it really blows my mind this was a controversy at the time. I couldn't take bloc judging conspiracies seriously when the right team won the bronze medal in Nagano. B/K winning bronze would have been a much bigger travesty.
More likely Romanova/Yaroshenko, who were 9th at the Olympics, as opposed to Grushina/Goncharov's 15th. R/Y had consistly been placing in the top 10 since 1993 and had a European bronze medal for 1996. They retired after the 1998 season. G/G were still a young team just starting to make a name for themselves.
Read more: http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,203274,00.html#ixzz1zn7eHkIh She framed it in a way that helped her and played into the larger thought of corrupt judging.
I don't know. If B/K would have won the bronze, Senft likely wouldn't have said anything. I think it's ridiculous to think she would have, seeing how the evidence she had (or at least what I linked to) even puts B/K in the bronze position. Was there more publicly released from that conversation? Sounds to me almost like she was fine with everything until B/K didn't end up on the podium, and when she was cited for judging how she did, it became this huge ordeal. If she thought it was going to be a huge problem, she would have 'blown the whistle' prior to the event even taking place. Sorry. There's something that made her not address it until afterwards, and I don't see it being anything besides thinking B/K would get bronze.
Do we have that part on a broadcast? All I have ever heard is the part where B&K are placed 3rd and A&P 5th. Here is a link to a 60 minutes profile from Sandra Loosemore's site: http://www.frogsonice.com/video/skategate/ (it's the last video) with more info. Senft's comments in that video make me I always found it galling that she called herself a whistleblower; a true whistleblower would have brought that tape to the referee ASAP and gotten Balkov kicked off. Instead, Senft decided to vote his way (in terms of her overall placements - her FD score was even more outrageous, as she was the only one who put B&K ahead of K&O). She participated in that vote trade. She didn't report him until after the event did not go B&K's way, and until she had been cited for National bias (was that in relation to the Olympics or something else?). I agree with Tony.... I bet if the bloc gave B&K the bronze, that tape never would've seen the light of day.
Did you follow caseyedwards' link? I'm not very familiar with this event, but I assume that what is reported in both the Time piece and the Sports Illustrated piece to which I linked is true. If so, the reason why she reported it was because she wanted to clear her own name, not because she wanted to blow the top off of some vast Eastern-bloc conspiracy (though the fact that she was the only judge to place B&K ahead of Krylova & Ovsiannikov in the Free Dance does raise a question in my mind about how fair she was in her judging). You would have to check the Ukrainian-language section of Youtube for that.
There was a report during the 1998 Olympics about bloc judging narrated by Tracy Wilson about the compulsory dances. I remember being flabbergasted that L&A "passed" Punsalan and Swallow when P&S were skating better than ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNslubT_jF4&feature=player_detailpage#t=35s Then this report at 1998 Worlds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djcWpXZZI-0 In these reports, you can clearly see who the alleged five "bloc judges" were, and which five teams allegedly benefited from their alleged agreement. And yes, it was Romanova/Yaroshenko for Ukraine.
I get that she reported the tape after she was called out for her own judging, but again, no one has really linked to any other parts of the recording (if they even exist). So what we have is something suggesting B/K 3rd and A/P 5th. In the video I linked to earlier, they go on to say something right after that snippet like "That assured Bourne and Kraatz that they would finish in 4th place overall." No, the 'evidence' you just provided wouldn't have produced those results. Even if Bourne/Kraatz had kept 5th place throughout the 2nd CD and OD, their marking of 3rd in the FD and Anissina/Peizerat being placed 5th would have still given B/K the bronze. So again, my issue here is that the evidence we have been provided shows that there was some kind of deal to make B/K third. Whether Balkov was going against the supposed bloc that had already been set up or not-- how do we know? Seems to me Senft was just fine with going along with that, and that's my problem with her being the eventual supposed whistle-blower.
Are you sure about R/Y? Like already noted, they had been in the top 10 at Worlds in the five years prior to 1998, they had a European bronze, and they made the Champions Series Final the season before the Olympics. Now I'm not saying that they deserved to be the 12th or whatever the majority of the 'non-bloc' had them (a la Moniotte/Lavanchy and their rapid decline), but they definitely did not soar up the standings. Now take Chait/Sakhnovsky, who went from 13th in 1999 to 5th in 2000, and I remember that being 'unheard of'.
NBC obviously got it wrong, and no one there was paying enough attention to the story to notice the mistake. I checked the Jurisprudence Archives on the Court of Arbitration for Sport Website to see if the Court made any findings in the Senft case, but I didn't find any records at all for the case. Maybe they're there, and I'm just missing something. Tony, if you're really interested in this, you might contact the Court directly and ask them about the case.
Thanks for that link. Ugh, what biased reporting. They said Senft didn't go along with what Balkov's, but she DID almost exactly what he said to do (except for having the Canadians even higher) and they didn't even give the other side as to why she would have been suspended. Her marks were clearly out-of-line in favor of skaters from her country and would warrant being questioned with regards to possible national bias. I've heard no evidence presented that her presenting the tape to the authorities had anything to do with her suspension but that is clearly the biased impression they're trying to create (and I absolutely agree with those who say she should have done so before the free dance and who question whether she would have if B&K had medaled).
I found this hilarious as well. Obviously, Blumberg and Button didn't really care for all the whinning comming from Canadian side. Here is another interesting article. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1998-02-13/sports/9802130366_1_pasha-grishuk-gwendal-peizerat-bourne-and-kraatz It eventually turned out that Tarasova was speaking the truth, and Dubova was trying to hype up B&K to level.
ITA, I was so mad that she was always portrayed as a poor victim. She actually has an integrity award named after her! Then again, we've been ranting about Saint Senft since 2002
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/longterm/olympics1998/sport/figskate/articles/olyn20.htm http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-sr...mpics1998/sport/figskate/articles/rules16.htm There was such an outcry about falling or misstepping that the tape was just used to quiet all the outrage. The idea that any fall or any misstep in any part of a comp was enough to prevent a team -primarily G&P - from winning almost regardless of what anyone else did! I think these articles are useful in demostrating why Senfts statements and her tape would be followed even if the results of the judging don't match the alleged conspiracy because Balkov was with Senft not against Senft. It does seem like a conspiracy was alleged throughout the judging and that the 3rd place for B&K in the free was a part of the plan to make them 4th.
I forgot Dubova coached Bourne and Kraatz in the 90s. I wonder if it was popular for ice dance teams to leave Dubova and go to Tarasova in the 90s-2000s. Klimova/Ponomarenko leave Dubova after a pretty season where they claimed Dubova favored Usova/Zhulin and then end up with gold with . Poor Dubova couldn't get gold in 1994 either since her "favorites" end up losing to Grishuk/Platov, and that must've stung as well as Dubova kicked Grishuk out from her group after the whole Zhulin/Grishuk love affair. Though, Grishuk/Platov were with Linichuk at the time, they would end up going to Tarasova before the 1998 Olympics and win gold there. Then Bourne/Kraatz want to win gold too, so they leave Dubova and head off to Tarasova before the 2002 Olympics hoping to improve upon their 4th place finish in Nagano. I wonder if there's bad blood between Tarasova and Dubova.

Design is really about distilling the essential form and function to solve a problem space. Once the problem space is known - sometimes the design just pops out. After a lot of effort, thankfully, the design for Globs is starting to squeeze out.
During the design phase I've constantly moved up and down the following axis:
- big vs small
- fast vs slow
- consistent vs eventually consistent
- complexity vs simplicity
- private vs public
- flow vs interruption
- creation vs copying
- usability vs utility
- XML vs JSON vs RPC vs HTML5
- universal vs limited
- and many more ....
I'm still moving the sliders on each of these dimensions - but here is what I know so far:
- a Glob is a handle on a Thing - it is not the Thing itself - it just sticks to it
- a Glob belongs to a Channel
- a Glob has a URI in that Channel
- a Glob is idempotent (we need this for calculating Karma++)
- each Glob has an external SHA1 and an internal SHA1
- a Glob has a summary, favicon, text icon, origin context, captured_on_time and given_to etc.
- a Glob has a HTML5 Description/Payload
- a Description contains actions on the underlying Thing
- Channel, Context and Configuration variables can be inserted into Glob placeholders
- Globs can be HTTP POSTed into the Trail of a Channel via a Sensor
- Globs can arrive in the Trail in absolute time or relative time (including the future)
- A Glob can be proxied from one Channel to another Channel
Along the way here are some ideas that were ruled out:
- using Git as the Glob store
- a Glob does not contain code itself (although it can anchor some code)
- a Glob-specific templating language
- tying Globs to a specific programming language or web framework
- storing Globs in XML, JSON or YAML etc
So there you have it: each Channel contains a Trail of Globs which the user can traverse from the past into the future while performing actions via the Globs stuck to the underlying Things. The speed of action, while scoring karma points, with directed focus will hopefully lead the user to a state of flow.

text: Biodiversity and the Built Environment - Oxford Date November 11 2014 • 2.30pm to 4.30pm Contact Adam Turner 0118 9874900 email@example.com venue Wolfson College, Oxford Tickets £85+VAT £15+VAT £59+VAT Tickets £85+VAT £15+VAT £59+VAT Urban biodiversity and its maintenance are becoming important issues for architects and developers as planners set new requirements in this field and developers strive to meet client and local authority expectations. Yet there is still some mystery and misunderstanding as to what can be done and what should be done to maintain and improve biodiversity within the built environment. In this presentation Edward Mayer, founder of the Swift Conservation advice service, explains why we should be concerned about biodiversity, and shows how we can take positive steps to improve it, simply, effectively and at reasonable cost. The presentation will concentrate on both the background and the practical, with many examples of the designing-in of various features (nest bricks, bat tubes, Swift towers, brown roofs, rain water collection trays, native planting, bee gardens) that should provide increased support for attractive and beneficial species already attuned to urban environments. There will be ample time for questions and discussion. Speaker details – Edward MayerEdward's working career has been mostly in buildings and facilities management; he was Gallery Manager for the Tate Gallery in London from the opening of the Clore Gallery to the creation of Tate Modern. In the late 1990's he noticed that the Swifts nesting in his local area were in decline. He realised that re-roofing of local properties was blocking Swifts from returning to their long-established nest sites. Surveys show that unless we take action now, and on a significant scale, within 20 years the Swift will become a rare bird within the UK. The solution is to both create new nest places and properly protect existing ones. To create awareness of this, Edward set up "Swift Conservation" a web-based advice service, celebrating Swifts, and showing what can be done to save them. Swift Conservation provides essential advice to government, building professionals and the public. www.swift-conservation.org To book your place, please complete and return Biodiversityandthebuiltenvironment-Oxford-11Nov14.

Cleanse Data Using Reference Data (External) Knowledge
Applies To: SQL Server 2016
This topic describes how to cleanse data using knowledge from the reference data providers. While all the steps of running a cleansing activity remains the same for cleansing your data using knowledge from the reference data providers as explained in the Cleanse Data Using DQS (Internal) Knowledge, this topic provides information specific to data cleansing using reference data service in Data Quality Services (DQS).
When you use the reference data service feature in DQS to cleanse your data, the DQS cleansing process sends the mapped domain values to the reference data service provider as a batch request. The reference data service responds with the following information:
Suggested correction
Additional information about the mapped domain. Reference data can also standardize, parse, or enrich the source with additional data. This information is provided in additional fields in the response.
After getting the response from reference data service, the following happens in DQS during the cleansing activity:
Based on the Auto Correction Threshold and Min Confidence values specified during mapping of the domains with reference data service, domain values are automatically corrected or suggested based on the confidence level.
The threshold values that you specify during mapping a domain to a reference data service are applied while cleansing data using the knowledge in reference data service, and not the ones that are specified in the General Settings tab in the Configuration section. For information about specifying threshold values for reference data cleansing, see step 9 in Attach Domain or Composite Domain to Reference Data.Domain values are categorized into the following: Suggested, New, Invalid, Corrected, and Correct.
Additional data is appended to the source, and the information is available along with the cleansed data for exporting.
You must have mapped required domains in a DQS knowledge base to the appropriate reference data service. Additionally, the knowledge base must contain knowledge about the type of data that you want to cleanse. For example, if you want to cleanse your source data that contains US addresses, you must map your domains to a reference data service provider that provides high-quality" data for US addresses. For more information, see Attach Domain or Composite Domain to Reference Data.
You must have the dqs_kb_editor or dqs_kb_operator role on the DQS_MAIN database to perform data cleansing.
We will continue with the same example of using the domains that we mapped in the previous topic, Attach Domain or Composite Domain to Reference Data, with the Melissa Data service in Windows Azure Marketplace. Now, we will use the same domains to cleanse some sample US addresses. The steps to cleanse data are the same as described in Cleanse Data Using DQS (Internal) Knowledge. However, we will draw you attention wherever necessary during the process.
Create a data quality project, and select the Cleansing activity. See Create a Data Quality Project.
On the Map page, map the following 4 domains with appropriate columns in your source data: Address Line, City, State, and Zip. Click Next.
As you have mapped all the 4 domains within the Address Verification composite domain, the data cleansing will now be done at the composite domain level, and not at the individual domain level.On the Cleanse page, run the computer-assisted cleansing process by clicking Start. After the cleansing process is over, click Next.
On the Cleanse page, DQS displays information about the domains that are attached to reference data service in the following two ways:- A message is displayed below the Start button: "Domains <Domain1>, <Domain2>,… <DomainN> are cleansed using reference data service provider." In this example, the following message will be displayed: "Domain Address Verification is cleansed using reference data service provider."
- An icon, , is displayed in the Profiler area against the domains attached to reference data service provider. In this example, the icon will be displayed against the Address Verification composite domain.
On the Manage and view results page, review your domain values. The reference data service can display more than one suggestion, if available, for a value depending upon the maximum number of suggestions specified in the Suggested Candidates box during the mapping of the domain to the reference data service. For example, two suggestions are displayed for the following US address:
Original value:
Address Line City State Zip 1 msft way Redmond 98052 Suggested values:
Address Line City State Zip 1 Microsoft Way Redmond WA 98052 PO Box 1 Redmond WA 98073 Note
For composite domains, DQS also highlights the individual domains in a different color that were corrected during the computer-assisted cleansing process. For example, in this case, the Address Line and State domains were corrected, and therefore highlighted in cyan.After you are done with reviewing all the domain values, click Next to export the data.
On the Export page, you will notice that apart from the regular information about the cleansing activity for each domain (Source, Reason, Confidence, and Status), there is additional information provided by the Melissa Data reference data service about your address data, such as latitude and longitude of your address, county name, address type (highrise, street, etc.), and so on.
Export your data to the required destination (SQL Server, CSV, or Excel), and click Finish to close the project.
If you are using 64-bit version of Excel, you cannot export the cleansed data to an Excel file; you can export only to a SQL Server database or to a .csv file.

[Castaneda], who once thought he was a student and wrote his first book as a doctoral thesis, is unquestionably a teacher. His books are as didactic as Plato's and just as fat with instructional dialogue. His Don Juan, who constantly tells Carlitos to end his own internal dialogue, is as garrulous as Jonathan winters and just as fractured by his own jokes. And yet if Castaneda is not about to inseminate Western culture with a vision of how it really is, he is at least on the cusp of twisting its head a few millimeters. He is a cult figure now, especially with the young but not exclusively so, approaching Hesse, Vonnegut, Golding and Salinger. (p. 29)

Folotyn (Intravenous)
Generic Name: pralatrexate (Intravenous route)
Commonly used brand name(s)
In the U.S.
- Folotyn
Available Dosage Forms:
- Solution
Therapeutic Class: Antineoplastic Agent
Pharmacologic Class: Antimetabolite
Uses For Folotyn
Pralatrexate injection is used to treat peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) in patients who have already been treated with other medicines that did not work well. Peripheral T-cell lymphoma is a rare type of cancer that affects certain white blood cells and causes enlarged and swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, and groin.
Pralatrexate belongs to the group of medicines called antineoplastics (cancer medicines). It interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Since the growth of normal cells may also be affected by the medicine, other unwanted effects may also occur. Some of these may be serious and must be reported to your doctor.
This medicine is to be administered only by or under the immediate supervision of your doctor.
Before Using Folotyn
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of pralatrexate injection in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of pralatrexate injection in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related liver, kidney, or heart problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving pralatrexate injection.
Pregnancy Category | Explanation | |
All Trimesters | D | Studies in pregnant women have demonstrated a risk to the fetus. However, the benefits of therapy in a life threatening situation or a serious disease, may outweigh the potential risk. |
Breast Feeding
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.

Proper Use of Folotyn
A nurse or other trained health professional will give you this medicine in a hospital or cancer treatment center. This medicine is given through a needle placed in one of your veins.
It is very important to take folic acid tablets during your treatment with pralatrexate to lower your chances of harmful side effects. You must start taking 1 to 1.25 milligrams (mg) of folic acid every day for at least 10 days before your first dose. You must keep taking folic acid every day during therapy and for 30 days after your last pralatrexate dose. You can get folic acid as a nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) product. Ask your doctor for help in choosing a folic acid product.
Your doctor will also give you vitamin B12 injections during your treatment with pralatrexate to lower your chances of harmful side effects. You will get your first injection about 10 weeks before your first dose, and additional injections about every 8 to 10 weeks during therapy.
This medicine usually comes with a patient information leaflet. Read the information carefully and make sure you understand it before receiving this medicine. If you have any questions, ask your doctor.
Precautions While Using Folotyn
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure that this medicine is working properly. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
Make sure your doctor knows if you are pregnant before you receive this medicine. If you are a woman of childbearing potential, you should use two forms of birth control together to avoid getting pregnant while you are receiving this medicine. If you have become pregnant during your treatment, tell your doctor right away.
Pralatrexate can temporarily lower the number of white blood cells in your blood, increasing the chance of getting an infection. It can also lower the number of platelets, which are necessary for proper blood clotting. If this occurs, there are certain precautions you can take, especially when your blood count is low, to reduce the risk of infection or bleeding:
- If you can, avoid people with infections. Check with your doctor right away if you think you are getting an infection or if you get a fever or chills, cough or hoarseness, lower back or side pain, or painful or difficult urination.
- Check with your doctor right away if you notice any unusual bleeding or bruising; black, tarry stools; blood in the urine or stools; or pinpoint red spots on your skin.
- Be careful when using a regular toothbrush, dental floss, or toothpick. Your medical doctor, dentist, or nurse may recommend other ways to clean your teeth and gums. Check with your medical doctor before having any dental work done.
- Do not touch your eyes or the inside of your nose unless you have just washed your hands and have not touched anything else in the meantime.
- Be careful not to cut yourself when you are using sharp objects such as a safety razor or fingernail or toenail cutters.
This medicine may cause mucositis, which is redness or sores on the inside of the mouth or tongue. Check with your doctor right away if you have cracked lips, diarrhea, difficulty with swallowing, or sores, ulcers, or white spots on the lips, tongue, or inside of the mouth while you are receiving this medicine.
Serious skin reactions can occur with this medicine. Check with your doctor right away if you have blistering, peeling, or loosening of the skin; red skin lesions; severe acne or skin rash; sores or ulcers on the skin; or fever or chills while you are receiving this medicine.
This medicine may cause a serious type of reaction called tumor lysis syndrome. Your doctor may give you a medicine to help prevent this. Call your doctor right away if you have a decrease or change in urine amount; joint pain, stiffness, or swelling; lower back, side, or stomach pain; a rapid weight gain; swelling of the feet or lower legs; or unusual tiredness or weakness.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.

The aging Eastgate Plaza shopping center is apparently deteriorating to the point the village of East Alton is getting involved. The Board of Trustees is expected to vote tonight to approve condemnation of a portion of the plaza. That move could lead to the demolition of two signs and a pair of wood frame additions at the rear of the building.
The additions are located behind the corner of the building where the former Merle Norman and Pantera's Pizza were located. The additions are now collapsing and have created an opening in the upper portion of the rear wall. According to the inspection report from the village, it may become necessary in the near future to take similar action on other portions of the property. Eastgate Plaza is located on Illinois Route 3.

Equipment Fees: Hologic Discovery A QDR 4500 Series Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometers (DXA):) DXA is the industry standard for measuring both human and animal bone density, but is also a valuable tool for assessing body composition (lean body mass and adipose). Currently, the Department of Nutritional Sciences houses two state-of-the-art Hologic DXA's (same model, however, one with a 300 lb. weight limit; the newer one with a 450 lb. weight limit) which are utilized by researchers in the department, in addition to other departments on campus, to determine the effects of dietary and environmental factors on bone mineral density. Scanco Medical mCT 40: This mCT unit is designed to scan small bone specimens (i.e., rodent or larger animal biopsies) to create a three-dimensional model without damaging the original biological specimen. The mCT is used in the Department to examine the effects of various physiological conditions (i.e., hormone or nutrient deficiencies) on bone microarchitecture. Specimens can be scanned both in the absence of presence of solution (i.e., formalin fixative). Departmental faculty members provide analytical services to other investigators across campus to assess the structural and biomechanical properties of bone. Lunar Piximus: This pencil-beam DXA allows for the determination of bone mineral density and body composition of small animal models (i.e., Mus musculus). Perkin-Elmer Elan 9000 Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS): ICP-MS is a highly sensitive method useful for determining amounts of beneficial or toxic trace elements that may be present only in the parts per billion range. ICP-MS can be used for the elemental analysis of both biological (e.g., blood or urine) and environmental (e.g., water) samples.

The Times Gets It Wrong on the Debt Deal
Sometimes both sides aren't equally at fault.
Moral equivalency often exerts a gravitational pull for political reporters and pundits. When assessing what's wrong with Washington (or other elements of the political system) it's easy to accuse all, casting a pox on each side. Matt Bai's deeply reported epic account in the New York Times Magazine of the collapse of the Grand Bargain—the debt reduction deal attempted by President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner last summer—cannot resist this overpowering tug.
Here's the bottom line of the article: "Obama and Boehner have clung to their separate realities not just because it's useful to blame each other for the political dysfunction in Washington, but because neither wants to talk about just how far he was willing to go."
Relying on the Rashomon cliché, Bai gives the impression that each of the key players is locked within his own perspective—and, consequently, no one is right or wrong. Boehner and his GOP comrades huff that Obama tried to change the terms of the deal and overturned the possible accord; Obama and his aides claim that Boehner couldn't cut a deal because of opposition within his tea party ranks. And this clash of realities is what's wrong with Washington.
Interest declared: My new book, Showdown: The Inside Story of How Obama Fought Back Against Boehner, Cantor, and the Tea Party, covers the clash over the Grand Bargain, and much of Bai's in-depth account overlaps with mine. But Bai doesn't emphasize what is the bottom-line point: Obama and his crew are right to say that Boehner could not deliver—and that is what was most responsible for the deal's collapse.
Boehner walked away from the Grand Bargain not once but twice. Bai gives short shrift to this first Boehner bolt. As I report in Showdown, as Boehner was talking with Obama in early July 2011 about an agreement to decrease the deficit that would include about $800 billion in revenues and significant reductions in entitlement programs including Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, Boehner's fellow House GOPers got nervous that the speaker was yielding too much (and possibly putting the Bush tax cuts for the rich on the chopping block). Several moderate House Republicans who were pals of Boehner—and who would have happily supported such a fiscal accord—came to see Boehner. They told him Rep. Eric Cantor, the House majority leader, was saying to other House Republicans that Boehner had gone RINO—Republican in Name Only—meaning Boehner was on the verge of selling out the dominant tea party wing of his party. Boehner's friends feared a mutiny against Boehner that would end up with Cantor assuming the speakership. Stop, they counseled Boehner. And he did. Boehner was essentially chased out of the Grand Bargain by his own people. (You can read a more detailed account in this excerpt from the book.)
Round Two came a week later. Boehner revived talks with the White House (this time with Cantor at his side), and now he was pushing a deal more favorable to the GOP. Still, the White House was interested. Intense negotiations resumed. And then the goal posts were moved. Not, as Boehner would later say, by Obama, but by Senate Republicans. The Gang of Six—a bipartisan group of lawmakers in the upper chamber—had hammered out a deficit plan that included about twice the revenues than the under-construction Obama-Boehner Grand Bargain.
This put Obama in a jam—but only because Boehner was in his own jam. The overarching political reality of the Obama-Boehner negotiations was that Boehner could not guarantee his caucus' support of the package he was trying to assemble with the president. He did not have control of his own troops. This meant that any plan he and Obama drew up would need Democratic votes in the House to pass—and perhaps at least half of the House Democrats. So Obama had to calculate what could draw the necessary Democratic support in the House (and in the Senate).
The president reached the reasonable conclusion that House Democrats would not accept entitlement cuts in return for $800 billion in revenues when a number of Senate Republicans had signed off on more than twice the amount of revenues. In other words, if Boehner could not corral his own Republicans to support the Grand Bargain, then the speaker would have to pick up the votes of a fair number of House Democrats. And the Senate Republicans supporting the Gang of Six plan had raised the price of that support.
Obama gave Boehner a choice: Boost the revenue portion of the plan, or scale back the entitlement reductions. Boehner and his aides were not immediately put off by this. His negotiators mulled this over for a day or so. Then Boehner—after refusing to return a phone call form the president for 24 hours—again abruptly turned tail and publicly accused the president of rewriting the terms.
This was a simplistic and inaccurate charge—more of an escape route for Boehner, who apparently had reached the obvious conclusion that he couldn't sell much of anything to his own caucus and needed a safe (and politically useful) retreat from his engagement with Obama. In fact, Boehner was not being honest with his own people. Republican House aides—who did not work for Boehner—told me that the speaker and his staff had told them that Obama, during these negotiations, had refused to get specific on the numbers regarding entitlement reductions and, thus, had not been negotiating in good faith. But, as both Showdown and Bai's piece note, there had been a great deal of specific numbers placed on the table by both sides. Moreover, Boehner's public dishonesty was revealed in a letter to his fellow House Republicans. He asserted that Obama had been "adamant that we cannot make fundamental changes to our entitlement programs." But Obama, as Bai's piece shows, had conceded much on that front.
It doesn't take too close a reading of Bai's account to discern Boehner's slipperiness. (Bai, though, does not focus on Boehner's disingenuous claims to his fellow GOPers.) And Bai does note that Obama had managed to persuade top Democrats—including Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi—to back the Grand Bargain, while Boehner had failed to line up support on his own side. Yet Bai's article, in total, can too easily be absorbed as bolstering the convenient blame-both-sides approach to political analysis. (In a speech on Tuesday, Obama blasted the tendency of political observers to say, "They're equally at fault…and the truth lies somewhere in the middle." He contended this "reinforces" public cynicism.)
Toward the end, Bai writes, "Obama moved the goal posts, Boehner couldn't deliver—that would soon become fixtures of Washington's double-sided reality. Both were essentially true, and yet incomplete." Incomplete, indeed. And when the complete story is told, the responsibility for failure is not shared equally. The title of Bai's piece is "Obama vs. Boehner: Who Killed the Debt Deal?" There is an answer to that question, but Bai ducks providing it. Instead, he observes, "What's clear now is that the only thing holding Washington back from a meaningful step toward reducing debt and modernizing government isn't any single policy dilemma, but rather the political dynamic that makes compromise such a mortal risk." By blaming the "political dynamic"—rather than specific political actors—he takes a pass. Maybe that's what's wrong with Washington.

Ménière's syndrome (mən-yĕrzˈ) [key], disorder of the inner ear characterized by recurrent episodes of loss of balance combined with deafness and a ringing sensation. It was first described by the French otologist Prosper Ménière, in 1861. The sufferer experiences severe dizziness, in which objects may seem to spin around, and often nausea, vomiting, and sweating. Attacks may last for several hours. In the disorder, which occurs most often in men between the ages of 40 and 60, the cochlear duct of the inner ear is found to be enlarged, as a result of acoustic trauma, viral endolymphatic labyrinthitis, and ototoxic drugs. The damage produced by these factors cause lesions or disturbances in the inner ear. The disease is treated by administration of antihistamines, anticholinergic agents (e.g., atropine or scopolamine), or diuretics. Surgical procedures that relieve the condition include vestibular neurectomy, labyrinthectomy, sacculotomy (placement of a stainless steel tack through the footplate of the stapes), ultrasonic irradiation, endolymphatic-subarachnoid shunt, and cryosurgery for relief of frequent vertiginous attacks and degenerative hearing.

This Checklist on the domestication of foreign judgments is part of my Colorado Litigation Checklist approach to litigation knowledge management and litigation strategy. When you have obtained a judgment from outside of Colorado against a Colorado resident, you must domesticate the judgment in Colorado before you can proceed to execute on the judgment (attempt to collect). Fortunately, in Colorado the domestication process is relatively simple:
- In Colorado, the domestication of foreign judgments is governed by the Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act, C.R.S. Section 13-53-101 et seq.
- The court filing fee is $166 per judgment to be domesticated (note: a single judgment against multiple judgment debtors, jointly and severally, counts as only one judgment)
- Draft a pleading styled Notice of Filing of Foreign Judgment
- Include as an attachment an authenticated copy of the foreign judgment
- Include as an attachment an affidavit including (1) the name and last-known postal address of the judgment debtor(s); (2) the current postal address of the judgment creditor; and (3) the name and current address of the judgment creditor's Colorado attorney
- The clerk of the court should send notice of this filing to each of the judgment debtors listed, however this notice requirement can also be met by filing proof of mailing, by certified mail, notice of the filing and the judgment to judgment debtors
- 10 days after the filing of the judgment (not receipt of the notice by the judgment debtors), efforts to collect or execute on the judgment in Colorado courts may commence
