John not only sold our property, he also found us a home in Colonial Heritage in 2018, sold our nephew's home just last week, and is currently working with my sister to find a home. He's become a member of our family! His easy-going, friendly demeanor has always put us at ease. His knowledge of the area is amazing!
Erin L. Cox, Stonehouse, Toano
John is by far the best realtor I've ever worked with. His negotiating skills and connections are outstanding. I felt like we had tapped into the best realty network in Williamsburg. John found us a house that wasn't even listed! He was tireless in his efforts to find a home for us in Windsor Forest. Amazing! John went above and beyond. I will definitely refer him!
Drew Thomas, Windsor Forest, Williamsburg
John is the most responsive and most knowledgeable realtor I have ever known, and that is after 10 former house purchases! John sold our house quickly with a most professional package targeting the right buyer. This man will go to bat for you and will tirelessly earn your business. John is also a trustworthy and honorable person to be on your team for buying or for selling. 5 stars!
Lorie & Tim Mcnemar, Queens Lake, Williamsburg
My wife & I have done many real estate transactions together & John is miles ahead of any agent we have used…. He just helped us in the purchase of a new townhome which we did from out of state and the process could not have been made more seamless. First and foremost, John listens and responds and communicates well. He knows his area and lets people "buy" rather than be "sold". He will be present when touring properties yet give you personal space as you move through a home, giving you time to take things in without feeling like someone's standing over your shoulder. He is also calm, knowing when to talk and when to be quiet. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a more professional individual. His comprehensive knowledge and love of Williamsburg makes for a great way to get to know the area. We're grateful to have had him in our corner every step of the way.
bdharper, Village Green North at Quarterpath, Williamsburg
My wife and I have worked with many Realtors over the years, a few of whom were excellent. John blows them out of the water. No exaggeration. The sale of our home presented many unexpected difficulties, and John handled them immediately and with much kindness. You can't do better.
Peter Sherman, Drummonds Field, Williamsburg
In fact, it's a home we never even dreamed we'd own. We're patient and methodical, and in our search for a great place to touch down in retirement, we kept coming back to Williamsburg VA. Initially, we worked tried realtors recommended by friends/family. Those didn't really work as we felt our clearly communicated desires were not given enough consideration to avoid wasting time. I appreciated the breadth of information John made available about the area and life in Williamsburg, so I reached out. Plus, he had great reviews! We worked thru the summer, emailing, texting, and taking a few trips. In the end, an incredible home at crazy good price came up. We loved it online, John confirmed it as a great deal; and, at this point we'd cultivated such a rapport and level of trust that we bought the house sight unseen. John was with us every step of the way and represented our best interests regarding acquiring the property. Transition has been an amazingly smooth and almost unreal experience. All owed to John.
Regina Marshall, Fords Colony, Williamsburg
His knowledge, patience and his desire to truly help us. He exceeded my expectations.
LaToya, Vineyard Heights, Williamsburg
He sold the property in one showing and got the deal closed! He Gave appropriate advice of listing price and expected market price. He also provided advice on how we should counter buyers offer and requests.
Edward Paul Travis, Westgate at Williamsburg
John helped us with everything we needed. I strongly recommend John. My wife and I were very very pleased. He made us feel comfortable and informed throughout the whole process.
Chuck Gresham, Colonial Heritage, Williamsburg
In our case we were looking for a retirement home in Williamsburg. Given we do not live in Williamsburg we were a little worried navigating through the process from afar. John was there for us every step of the way. And if you are wondering if his title "Mr. Williamsburg" is true, we can tell you it absolutely is! John knows everything about Williamsburg. More importantly he has a tremendous network of people who can help you with anything; from contractors to landscapers, he knows them all. John Womeldorf is a true real estate professional and we are grateful he helped us find our dream home!
Kathleen & Robert Weghorst, Fairfax Woods, Williamsburg
You will feel completely taken care of and watched out for as you navigate the process of buying a home with John and his team. Somehow John makes the process of buying a house a smooth and relaxed experience even though it is as stressful on occasion as any. I highly recommend working with John and I would not hesitate to work with him again!
Greg & Sara Fleehart, Fairway Villas, Williamsburg
We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have found Mr. John Womeldorf to work as our buyers' agent. He exhibits exceptional attention to detail. Throughout our buying process, Mr. Womeldorf was attentive and tenacious in helping us find the right home. Our phone calls, texts, and emails were always answered promptly. Mr. Womeldorf is a fount of resourceful information and knowledge of the Williamsburg area. Months after our closing, Mr. Womeldorf continues to be available in helping us find reputable tradesmen and service providers. Although we began our relationship as professionals, we now consider Mr. Womeldorf a friend. If you're looking for a real estate agent with a commitment to excellence who puts his clients' best interest first, Mr. John Womeldorf is your agent.
Hilman and Heather Hicks, Fords Colony, Williamsburg
We relocated from Los Angeles to Williamsburg…which is a long way. We did research for over 2 years to find the perfect spot for my wife to retire, and for me to move my business. (Both challenging situations) Along the way we talked with a lot of realtors and then we came upon John. I have to say he made the process unbelievably easy. He did not pressure us or ignore us even knowing we may have been considered "tire kickers" by other realtors. We started discussing our move almost 2 years before we bought our dream home. He offered exceptional advice not just on our home, but the lifestyle in Williamsburg. His website is an amazing resource. It is not a coincidence that he is known as "Mr. Williamsburg". If you are looking to re-locate from anywhere in the US I hope you will consider contacting John. His mindset to go the extra mile is extraordinary and when you are looking to move, he is the one person I would trust to take care of my interests. I will never use another real estate agent in Virginia !

Seriously, people. Not only is the Harlem Shake craze on Youtube getting old, it's also becoming potentially life-altering, and not in a good way.
Just ask the 15 gold miners in Australia who all lost their jobs because they posted their own version of it online. The Agnew Mine overnight crew, who all appeared in their own half-minute Harlem Shake clip, lost more than their minds dancing the famous thrust move: They also lost all their six-figure salaries.
The miners were previously under contract with an Australia-based underground services company, Barminco. They maintain that they were being safe all throughout the duration of the video, stating that they were wearing helmets and portable oxygen devices and were even out of their uniforms so the company's name would not be displayed. According to the Mercury News, the stunt the group performed breached the company's "core values of safety, integrity, and excellence".
That's not the only damage being done by this viral video, which is swiftly becoming the Gangnam Style of 2013. A student from the University of Alabama is facing possible expulsion for orchestrating a college-wide Harlem Shake. Nojan Radfar, for his efforts in making his dream of starting the "biggest Harlem Shake video ever" come true, only got a ticket but he is worried the university might take more drastic measures and expel him. And truth be told, he has the right to be worried, as more and more students and even members of faculties get subjected to suspension for participating in a Harlem Shake video.
According to MSN Money, up to 4,000 videos featuring the Harlem Shake in different circumstances and locations are uploaded to the World Wide Web on a daily basis, and more people are challenged to tape themselves doing the dance in unique environments. Thinking about making a video with your friends? It's probably not a good idea to do it in a plane. Probably not a good idea to do it in general, since the people of Harlem do not approve of this viral phenomenon:

KINGSTON, Jamaica – Some Jamaican police units will soon be wearing video cameras on their uniforms in part to encourage officers to use appropriate force and perhaps curb high rates of killings by law enforcers in a Caribbean country where they have long been accused of trigger-happy tactics.
On Thursday, National Security Minister Peter Bunting announced that "select" units of the Jamaica Constabulary Force will start wearing the cameras this year. The small cameras record anything from a traffic stop to a car chase to an unfolding violent crime and are typically worn on an officer's lapel or on a small headset.
At a press briefing, Bunting said it will encourage professional behavior by police officers, improve transparency and evidence collection, and head off unfair allegations of wrongdoing.
The security minister's comments come as an independent commission that investigates charges of abuses by security forces is launching a probe into alleged homicides by policemen in Clarendon parish.
Bunting said the investigation is at a "sensitive stage" and he couldn't comment on it. "However," he added, "the administration views the issues of extrajudicial killings with the gravest concerns and is committed to the police being accountable for their actions."
Human rights activists have repeatedly criticized the high number of fatal shootings by Jamaica's nearly 10,000 police officers, and residents of poor neighborhoods regularly take to the streets to protest what they insist are unjustified killings by lawmen.
Last year, 258 civilians were killed by security forces on the island of 2.7 million people. That was 39 more than the previous year.
Police say they are threatened by brazen suspects and the enormous amount of illegal guns on the streets. Last year, Jamaica had 1,197 homicides, a 9 percent increase from 2012.

A rising percentage of parents say they won't have their teen daughters vaccinated to protect against the human papilloma virus, even though physicians are increasingly recommending adolescent vaccinations, a study by Mayo Clinic and others shows. More than 2 in 5 parents surveyed believe the HPV vaccine is unnecessary, and a growing number worry about potential side effects, researchers found. The findings are published in the new issue of the journal Pediatrics.
In all, researchers looked at three vaccines routinely recommended for U.S. teens: a vaccine to protect against the sexually transmitted HPV; Tdap, for tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis; and the meningococcal conjugate vaccine, or MCV4 vaccine. While the up-to-date immunization rates rose for all three vaccines, the proportion of girls fully immunized against HPV (three doses over six months) was substantially lower than the proportion for the other two vaccines.
Five years ago, 40 percent of parents surveyed said they wouldn't vaccinate their girls against HPV. In 2009, that rose to 41 percent, and in 2010, to 44 percent.
"That's the opposite direction that rate should be going," says senior researcher Robert Jacobson, M.D., a pediatrician with the Mayo Clinic Children's Center.
Parents concerned about HPV vaccine safety rose from 5 percent in 2008 to 16 percent in 2010, while less than 1 percent worried about the safety of the Tdap and MCV4 vaccines, the study found.
During the same years, more and more studies showed how safe and effective the HPV vaccine is in this age group, says Dr. Jacobson, who has taken part in the safety review committees for two such studies. The vaccine prevents cervical cancer and other genital cancers by preventing the HPV infections that lead to those cancers, he says.
Researchers analyzed vaccination data for teens ages 13 to 17 in the 2008-10 National Immunization Survey of Teens. They found that as of 2010, 8 of 10 teens had the Tdap vaccine and roughly 63 percent had the MCV4 vaccine. Only about one-third of girls were immunized against HPV.
The HPV vaccination rate did rise; it was only 16 percent in 2008. But at the same time, more parents reported that they did not intend to have their daughters vaccinated for HPV. Among the reasons they gave: the vaccine was not recommended; lack of knowledge; it is unnecessary; the vaccine is inappropriate for the child's age; worry about safety/side effects; and the child isn't sexually active.
According to parents surveyed, more clinicians are recommending the HPV vaccine, but still, they are advising it only about half the time. The facts show the vaccine is necessary, Dr. Jacobson says.
"HPV causes essentially 100 percent of cervical cancer and 50 percent of all Americans get infected at least once with HPV. It's a silent infection. You cannot tell when you've been exposed or when you have it," he says. "While most HPV infections clear, a percentage linger and start the process of cancerous changes. The HPV vaccine is an anti-cancer vaccine."
Dr. Jacobson says the vaccine is more effective in younger adolescents than older teens. Mayo Clinic routinely starts the series at age 9.
"The vaccine works better the younger the child is, and it doesn't work after the child is grown up and is exposed to the virus, so our message should be: 'Give this vaccine now to your child while your child is young and responsive to it,'" says Dr. Jacobson, medical director of the Employee and Community Health Immunization Program at Mayo Clinic.
Study co-authors include Paul Darden, M.D., David Thompson, Ph.D., Jessica Hale, and Monique Naifeh, M.D., M.P.H., University of Oklahoma; and James Roberts, M.D., M.P.H., and Charlene Pope, Medical University of South Carolina.

According to new data released this week, May 2014 is officially the warmest May in recorded history.
Both NASA and the Japan Meteorological Agency have tentatively ranked May at the top of historical measurements, though NASA's numbers are preliminary because crucial information is still missing from China.
Gavin Schmidt, the director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, which maintains NASA's global temperature database, explained the Chinese data glitch.
Still, the fact that NASA and the Japan used different calculation methods to arrive at similar results is telling. Another agency, National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, will release its estimate of May global temperatures next week using a third method.
The exceptionally warm month was egged on by a building El Niño in the tropical Pacific. Europe, Central Asia, Russia, Japan, Australia, Southern Africa, Brazil, Eastern Canada and Western North America (so, basically everywhere) were warmer than normal last month. Besides shifting weather patterns worldwide, that extra El Niño-fueled ocean warmth is supercharging the Earth's temperature, which could help make 2014 the warmest year since human records have been kept, and probably for much longer. El Niño's effects should peak between October and December and will likely continue into early 2015.
NASA uses a baseline set from 1951-1980 to determine how much a month's temperature deviates from normal. The agency's preliminary numbers show the combined global land and ocean temperature during May deviated from that baseline by about three-quarters of a degree Celsius, the most of any May since accurate records began in 1880. The 0.76 degree Celsius anomaly is tied for the sixth-largest anomaly for any month since 1880. All 10 of the biggest monthly temperature anomalies on record have occurred since 1995, according to NASA:
January 2007: 0.93
March 2002: 0.89
March 2010: 0.87
February 1998: 0.86
April 2010: 0.82
October 2005: 0.76
May 2014: 0.76
February 1995: 0.75
June 1998: 0.75
November 2013: 0.75
In April, monthly concentrations of carbon dioxide reached 400 parts per million for the first time in at least 800,000 years. On our current path of minimal attention, scientists say warming could exceed 4.5 degrees Celsius by 2100 — which would have devastating effects.

Video games should, at their basest level, be fun. As the industry grows, however, we're slogging through bullet point lists of expected features and terrible "cinematic" cutscenes or struggling with half-assed motion controls in games that feature little personality and less innovation. To compound this, people at high levels are making decisions and saying things that steer us toward a joyless future that seems designed to rape you in the ass and take your money at every possible opportunity. Each month, we call attention to the people and stories that are stabbing fun's face.
How It's Ruining Games:
In the future, all gamers will be divided into two categories: Those who have an inflatable boat in their living room, and those who should kill themselves.
At least, that's what PlayOn, creators of the Game Boat are hoping. Their blow-up raft is designed to be placed on the floor so you can stand inside it while playing the river slalom mini-game in Kinect Adventures.
That's right, it's a peripheral for one mini-game. That's goofy. Having a fucking raft in your living room is goofy. Perhaps the goofiest thing of all? It serves no purpose. It doesn't actually interact with the game in any way.
If the idea of peripheral peripherals catches on, things could take a terrible turn. The Fallout: New Vegas Garbage Bag O' Meat. The Dead Space 2 Flickering Light. Fable 3 Cobblestones.
How It's Ruining Games:
By having this product description...
Show them all, the Governor is not to be trifled with!
Where have you been all those years? Lots of things have changed. Cities have grown, new people arrived... It's all good, but some things cannot be accepted just like that!
Howdy! Finally it's there, Governor of Poker 2! And for the real Governors of Poker, we offer an even more packed Premium Edition with lots and lots of extra's! Lots more cities to conquer and tournaments to play, interactive wallpaper, downloadable theme music, an extra 'Pro' difficulty mode and more&.
Do you want it all? Then get ready for the most exciting adventure in the Wild West!
... while actually just being a low budget poker game, and failing to live up to the promised insanity.
How They're Ruining Games:
At the London Games Festival, Gearbox head of marketing Steve Gibson had some interesting things to say.
"[We] want people to be able to play together and right now if a guy buys a game on Games for Windows and a guy buys a game on Steam - they can't play together. If another guy bought it in a retail store, he can't play with the first two guys."
By "interesting" I mean "wrong". No PC game's multiplayer component has ever been walled off to customers from different retailers. The way I see it, this statement could be one of two things.
1) Completely made up. A distinct possibility. Gearbox has already attempted to discredit Valve, claiming that Steam was unfair to small developers, a statement which was then rejected by actual small developers who had worked with Steam. They also lied about pretty much every facet of the PC version of Borderlands in the leadup to its release, then stated that they "listened to what the customers wanted" by addressing fundamental problems via DLC rather than free patches.
2) A genuine misunderstanding of how multiplayer works on the PC. If you doubt that a company could be so clueless about this topic, you probably haven't seen the Gamespy matchmaking logo in the PC version of Borderlands or attempted to connect to a multiplayer game within a month of release.
Final Fantasy XIV Online
The amount of effort put into this game seems to equal the amount of enjoyment I got out of the last few Final Fantasy installments. 2/10
Medal Of Honor
Seriously, fuck this generation of shooters and the focus testers they rode in on. 6/10
Def Jam Rapstar
Imagine a rap-themed rhythm game, only slightly less creative than what's in your head. 7/10
MySims SkyHeroes
At least that Snoopy air combat game had the decency to include actual art design, textures, fun, and be an inexpensive downloadable game. 4/10
Now you can play as Michael Jordan's ego and pull a spin move to avoid facing the reality of age and a long-abandoned career - assuming his model can move with that enormous chip on its shoulder. 8/10
Something Awful is in the process of changing hands to a new owner. In the meantime we're pausing all updates and halting production on our propaganda comic partnership with Northrop Grumman.
Dear god this was an embarrassment to not only this site, but to all mankind
Landmarks and statues around the world: old, boring and could use an update.

Frequently Asked Questions About Heart and Gum Diseases
posted: Oct. 11, 2012.
Recent research has revealed that there is a link between cardiovascular ("cardio" – heart; "vascular" – blood vessel) disease (CVD) and periodontal (gum) disease. The link is Inflammation. This is why it is important to learn more about this important relationship so that you can take proactive steps to improving your health and life.
What causes periodontal disease?
Simply put, irregular and ineffective brushing and flossing are the root causes of periodontal disease. Over time and when bacterial biofilms (dental plaque) are left unchecked, they lead to the emergence of a small set of highly pathogenic ("patho" – disease; "genic" – causing) organisms that are consistently associated with periodontitis ("peri" – gum; "odont" – tooth; "itis" – inflammation) or gum disease.
Is periodontal disease common or am I one of the few who have it?
It is a quite common disease, with mild to moderate forms of it impacting 30 to 50% of US adults. More severe cases affect 5 to 15%. One of the reasons these numbers are so high is because periodontal disease is a silent, painless disease that often occurs without any symptoms.
So how does my gum disease link to potential heart disease?
Inflammation is a characteristic of chronic disease. People with moderate to severe periodontitis have increased levels of systemic (general body) inflammation. If left untreated, the same bacterial strains that are commonly found in periodontal pockets surrounding diseased teeth have been found in blood vessel plaques of people with CVD.
This all sounds bad...is there any good news?
Yes! Research has revealed that if periodontal disease is treated, inflammation and infection can be reduced. This also reduces the risk for heart attacks and strokes, both of which are common results of CVD. All it may take is a thorough exam for gum disease and thorough dental cleaning. During your exam, we can also make sure you are brushing and flossing properly so that you are effectively removing bacterial biofilm. But if you have severe periodontal disease, you may need deeper cleanings and more advanced treatment to save your teeth and your heart.

By Shea Serrano
Song: Eminem's "The Monster," featuring Rihanna
History: Eminem did a freestyle battle. He went up against Papa Doc and choked. It was pretty sad. Then some more sad stuff happened to him. But then he did another freestyle battle and, if you can even believe it, he ended up going against Papa Doc again and THIS TIME HE WON BY MAKING PAPA DOC CHOKE. That's a little thing called true justice. After that, Rihanna was like, "Oh my God this dude has mad skills. I need to do a song with him." So they did some pretty good songs together. And then they made "The Monster."
Atmospherics: Kind of like what the teen section at Nordstrom sounds like. Except teens don't shop at Nordstrom so it's always, like, someone's uncle buying jeans from there. That's what this song sounds like: Someone's uncle trying to buy cool jeans from Nordstrom.
Analysis: Snoozefest. I wish there was a more nuanced, more clever way to say that, but every time I try to think of one my brain jumps clean out of skull and sprints right the fuck down the street. That's not a metaphor or anything. My brain literally grew these tentacle-like things and it was splitskis, bro. It's like Krang from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Remember him? He was the grossest. HE WAS A FUCKING LIVING, BREATHING BRAIN LIVING INSIDE OF A ROBOT. Gone.
YouTube screengrab Krang
But look:
On 1999's "My Name Is," Eminem's very first single from his very first proper album, back when he was still interesting and had not been hollowed out yet:
Hi, kids!
Do you like violence?
Wanna see me stick nine inch nails through each one of my eyelids?
Wanna copy me and do exactly like I did?
Try 'cid and get fucked up worse than my life is?
That's clever and fun and acerbic and biting and insightful. I can't immediately think of a better opening salvo from a modern American musician.
Here's how Eminem opens 2013's "The Monster," the 93rd single from his 25th album:
I wanted the fame but not the cover of Newsweek
Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosey
1. Newsweek? Bro, that's the most boring shit of all. Remember when Newsweek put Sarah Palin on the cover in jogging shorts? That was them being divisive. Newsweek is like when they show that movie Nerds on AMC and then AMC zooms all the way the fuck in so you can't see any boobs during the panty raid scene.
2. Did you really just say "Oh well," Eminem? In the first verse of a song called "The Monster"? Because, I mean, there just aren't enough sighs.
3. Did you use the word "choosey," rather than "choosers"? Because everyone knows the expression is "beggars can't be choosers." You can't just make up a new expression to rhyme with Newsweek, which you shouldn't even be talking about in the first place.
Let's continue:
I'm beginning to lose sleep
One sheep, two sheep
Someone heard Eminem rap this line in a studio session and was like: "Yep, that's the one. I was a little leery when you dropped the 'one sheep' on them, but when you followed that up with 'two sheep,' that's when I was certain you were a goddamn genius, Em!"
Call me crazy but I have this vision one day that I'll walk amongst you a civilian
Nah, bro. Not that crazy. You're already rapping like one. OOOOOHHHHHHH BURN.
I miss when Eminem was the dopest. He's probably gone downhill because he was in that Adam Sandler movie. Adam Sandler movies are always fucking shit up.
He yodeled. Just like Tupac used to.
Maybe I need a straight jacket; face facts
I am nuts for real but I'm okay with that
Dude, you're not nuts. You're famous. It's not that bad. Sorry all of your money doesn't fit inside your solid diamond wallet.
Oh, and here's how I feel about Rihanna on the hook.
(I) Someone.
(II) Please.
(III) Save.
(IV) Eminem.

In comics, superheroes often have "scientific" origin stories involving radiation or strange chemicals. But what would actually happen if you experienced one of these origin stories in real life? Let's take a look at six classic superhero tales and find out.
The Fantastic Four
Origin: Four adventurers make a rushed test flight of a spacecraft due to a fear of having their Air Force research funding cut off. During the flight they are bombarded with cosmic rays, giving each of them separate super powers. Or, in the case of the Thing, really awful acne that masquerades as rock.
The Facts:
Talk about putting your neck on the line for a grant. I've built a spaceship, and the Air Force funding agency is cracking down on me for results - I'll sneak away on the rocket and take my future wife, her brother, and my best friend on a ride. What's the worst that can happen?
Well, actually, if the trip is successful, not a whole lot. Get the Geiger counter from off your bookshelf that you bought off eBay (we all know good io9 readers have one). Turn it on and bump the sensitivity level up. You hear that pinging noise? Your Geiger counter is picking up the signal from cosmic rays. These rays, however, prior to humanity putting a significant number of people in space, were of particular concern, so Kirby and Lee are not to blame for this plot point.
Cosmic radiation was and still is a concern on the part of sending humans into space. The Apollo astronauts noticed "flashes" of light in their eyes, possibly induced by cosmic radiation, however, their short term in space (often less than two weeks) did not yield any significant detriment to their health. Individuals on longer missions would more than likely exhibit more detrimental effects, and a report has recently suggested lifetime limits on exposure to cosmic radiation (in the article The Cosmic Ray Radiation Dose in Interplanetary Space - Present Day and Worst-Case Evaluations), which will play a role when humanity makes its fateful journey to Mars.
The Verdict on the Fantastic Four:
So, long story short, no one becomes partially invisible at will or gains the ability to stretch their limbs, but at the very worse, their exposure to cosmic rays leaves the crew with spots in their eyes and Benjamin Grimm with one less thing to complain while sitting on the stoop of his Yancy Street home.
What would likely be more damaging to the health of Richards and company would be their impending return to Earth. In the comic they crash, which in reality, would be fatal. But given the Cold War climate of the comic (and the War on Terrorism world we live in now), their stolen craft, an unauthorized space vehicle, would more than likely be captured upon re-entry or blown up by one of the many governments of planet Earth. If Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben somehow do survive, they are likely horribly injured and living out their lives under interrogation in an undisclosed government facility.
Origin: Peter Parker is bitten by an irradiated spider in its death throes, granting him the spider's special abilities.
The Facts:
We are not told what the spider was irradiated with, which would be a unique feat in and of itself, but, for the sake of argument (and the fact that modern retellings of Spider-Man's origin put a DNA hybridization twist on the mythos), let's say the phosphates in the spider's DNA backbone were replaced with a radioactive isotope of phosphorous, Phosphorous-32 . This isn't the worse thing that would happen, as half life of Phosphorous-32 is roughly fourteen days, so it won't be in Peter's body forever and would likely be excreted through the urine. Phosphorous-32 is also a beta emitter, so it would be blocked by a thin sheet plastic, and therefore wouldn't do much harm to the surroundings or Peter's classmates. Even if the spider injected Parker with an amount of venom commiserate with the entire weight of the spider, the chance of Parker becoming harmed from the added radioactivity is negligible (this is bolstered by the fact that foodstuffs irradiated in the recent Japanese nuclear plant meltdowns are now considered edible), with the toxicity of the spider venom playing more of a role in Peter's morbidity.
Spiders share a significant portion of DNA with humans, so it would be necessary for all of the "different and power inducing portions" of the DNA to be adopted and amplified in Parker's DNA within a rather short time, something that the record of time has shown is not going to happen. If it did, we would see people being bitten by irradiated insects and animals and taking on their characteristics. I call dibs on the radioactive dolphin.
The Verdict on Spider-Man:
Peter Parker more than likely stays a nerdy teenager, marries well, and becomes the respected researcher that makes bad puns during his talks at AAAS Annual Meetings. Uncle Ben might not die as well to boot, but there is a little more riding on that outcome than a spider bite.
The Flash
Origin: A freak accident occurs and Barry Allen (or Wally West if you have a more contemporary flavor) is covered by chemicals that have been struck by a bolt of lightning, only to be imbued with the ability to move at super speed.
The Facts:
The Flash was forensic chemist before forensic chemistry was cool and became the basis of most prime-time network programming. But do you remember what the shelves in your chemistry lab looked like? If they were anything like mine, the wooden shelves had acids next to bases next to volatile organic solvents and rusted containers of God knows what. I don't want that stuff on me, let alone struck by lightning, ignited, and spilled all over me.
The Verdict on The Flash:
Sadly, the outcome for Barry Allen and Wally West is a quick death or years of rehabilitation and painful skin grafts, not super speed and a cool jumpsuit that pops out of ring.
Origin: Trauma from seeing his parents killed before his eyes turns a billionaire boy into a one man crime-fighting army.
The Facts:
Alright - I've hated on those I love enough, so let's visit some superhero origins with a bit of real life merit.
Batman's story hinges on four points in my opinion: 1) Bruce Wayne had to sit through Die Fledermaus as a child, 2) his parents were killed in front of him immediately thereafter (a great case for the avoidance of musical theater via operant conditioning if there ever was one), 3) he fell through a cave full of bats, thus imprinting the creature on his psyche, and 4) access to infinite resources. Bruce Wayne could do essentially whatever he wanted (and whatever seemed reasonable due to his fractured psyche), but his actions would probably not permit a multi-decade crime fighting career as portrayed in the comics. He would get a couple of good shots in, but more than likely his demeanor and gravitas would cause too much attention to be turned his way, with negative results. With the genetic aid of a condition like CIPA (congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis), Batman could possibly further his career, as long as any fractures or infections not known to Bruce were taken care of lovingly by Alfred.
The Verdict on Batman:
The origin and creation of Batman is feasible (as would be another vendetta induced character, The Punisher), however, his ability to perform over an extended period of time and long-term survival would be in question. For an extended look at the psyche of Batman, take a look at Charlie Jane Anders' recent Top 10 Greatest Mentally Ill Superheroes.
Origin: An alien symbiote latches onto Peter Parker while he is on the planet Battleworld fighting in the Secret Wars, only to change Peter's emotions and be discarded a couple of years later. The symbiote quickly finds a willing host in Eddie Brock, who becomes the sometimes bad guy, sometimes good guy Venom.
The Facts:
Symbiotic relationships are common in nature, take for instance humans and domesticated animals or our digestive system and bacteria. The Venom/Eddie Brock symbiosis may represent an extreme form of such a relationship, granting enhanced physical powers and athletic performance, however, it is still a symbiotic relationship nonetheless. The "Venom" symbiote itself also has powers, as it can change shape and move on its own, particularly when it is in need of another host.
The Verdict on Venom:
Based on the widespread variety of symbiotes in nature, I say this could be possible. Granted, the correct relationship would have to be present in the universe, and with our small understanding of the universe around us and what types of alien life forms might be present, a physically enhancing symbiotic relationship could be possible. I just can't rule this one out.
Origin: A government researcher finds himself able to shrink in size and control large groups of ants through use of special equipment.
The Facts:
First, let's put the size changing aside. I'll go ahead and admit that to be outside the realm of possibility. But the controlling of ants or other insects through electronic means? Completely believable, and something that researchers are trying to do right now. The USDA currently catalogs a variety of sounds made by insects in a number of situations, available here, for wildlife monitoring purposes. With enough study, these sounds could one day be used to successfully manipulate a group of insects (akin to hunters using a turkey call). A group of Swedish researchers are also looking at the use of pheromones to manipulate groups of moths. Both research avenues are particularly viable from a funding standpoint, as they could control the insect population without harming the insects themselves or the environment.
The Verdict on Ant-Man:
Your grandkids will have an Ant-Man helmet that you bought them for their birthday from Target. Don't cross them.

The Power of Narrative in History
Last night I attended the last of the Massachusetts Historical Society's four public conversations on history and memory, moderated by Stephen Marini of Wellesley. This event featured Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, professor of American History at Harvard and author of A Midwife's Tale, which won a Pulitzer Prize in 1991. Although the announced topic was how objects—or, in the jargon of modern historiography, "material culture"—affect historical memory, the conversation was more far-ranging.
One of Ulrich's interesting comments involved the film adaptation of A Midwife's Tale shown a few years ago on P.B.S.'s American Experience. During the filming, the producers were anxious to tell the life story of Martha Ballard (1735-1812), the Maine midwife, in a dramatic way. Ulrich sensed that they were seeking a "heroic narrative."
For historians, "narrative" is a label for a particular way of writing history: describe a series of events, in chronological order, on a human scale, emphasizing individuals' intentions and actions as driving events. Many scholars try to get beyond this form, or at least analyze it critically. They point out that individual human intentions aren't always as important as we'd like to think, mass actions and attitudes might be more powerful than individual choices, some historical events (such as climatic or demographic change) follow a much longer timeframe, this style tends to highlight the most powerful in society at the expense of the most numerous, and so on.
For fictional storytellers, a "narrative" is something slightly different. It's a particular construction of events, again driven by human intentions and actions, but also with a resolution brought about by those actions. Fictional narratives derive their power by:
- following individual protagonists as they seek to fulfill specific desires.
- showing events arising from those protagonists' (and any antagonists') choices, and not from outside forces or actors or mere coincidence.
- concluding with an outcome that says something, implicitly or explicitly, about those individuals and how the world works.
Ulrich felt that the Midwife's Tale filmmakers were in danger of creating a fictional narrative for Martha Ballard that, while it might please viewers, wasn't supported by the historical documentation. She was even willing to leave the project over that issue. The creative team was able to adapt, and the resulting film is both very affecting and historically grounded.
And does it have a heroic narrative? At this point I piped up from the audience to argue that the Midwife's Tale movie does offer such a narrative—not about Ballard, but about Ulrich. While the movie shows several vignettes from Ballard's life, the storyline that runs through it and fuels it is the historian's investigation of the midwife's diary. An individual sets out on a quest (to learn what that document can reveal), faces obstacles, devises strategies, makes breakthroughs, and achieves acclaim.
Even the cinematography serves that storyline, as Ulrich described it. Producer-writer Laurie Kahn-Levitt and director Richard P. Rogers used framing, lighting, and focus to make our first glimpses of the actress playing Ballard incomplete and hard to make out. Gradually she comes into sharper focus, with stronger lighting and the camera capturing her face. We viewers thus gain clearer views of Ballard as the movie shows Ulrich coming to understand her diary.
Historians like Ulrich are usually reluctant to shape their books around the story of their investigations, to put themselves in the foreground—they leave that to their introductions and personal appearances. But every so often a history book will follow the actions of an individual investigating the past as a way to bring us into understanding that past. One example I recently read is The Telephone Gambit, by Seth Shulman (a Boston story, but from the 1870s instead of the 1770s).
A final thought on narratives and history: These days, our most popular cinematic narratives are adapted into yet another form, one which leaves the resolution up to the viewer. Or rather to the player, because I'm referring to videogames. Instead of watching Harry Potter, we get to play at being Harry Potter, and the outcome of the story depends on our own choices (and the reset button). A Midwife's Tale has the equivalent of that form in the website DoHistory.org, which lets visitors take over Ulrich's role and explore Ballard's diary.

Secret History
Scotland: "Tomb of the Otters" Filled With Stone Age Human Bones
National Geographic News
Thu, 07 Jul 2011 00:00 UTC
The 5,000-year-old burial site, on South Ronaldsay in the Orkney Islands, was accidentally uncovered after a homeowner had leveled a mound in his yard to improve his ocean view.
Authorities were alerted to the find in 2010 after a subsequent resident, Hamish Mowatt, guessed at the site's significance.
Mowatt had lowered a camera between the tomb's ceiling of stone slabs and was confronted by a prehistoric skull atop a muddy tangle of bones.
"Nobody had known it was an archaeological site before that," said Julie Gibson, county archaeologist for Orkney.
Partial excavation of the site, called Banks Tomb, has confirmed it as the first undisturbed Neolithic burial to be unearthed in Scotland in some 30 years, Gibson reported in June.
"It's certainly unusual to find one whose contents are so well preserved," the archaeologist said.
"We have got the assorted remains of many, many people who have been deposited in this tomb at different times."
Tomb of the Otters
The underground grave consists of a 4- by 0.75-meter (13- by 2.5-foot) central chamber surrounded by four smaller cells hewn from sandstone bedrock.
Capping the central chamber are large water-worn slabs supported by stone walls and pillars.
At least a thousand skeleton parts belonging to a mix of genders and age groups - including babies - have been found to date.
Layers of silt divide the remains, suggesting the tomb was in use for many generations, Gibson said.
The site has also been dubbed the Tomb of the Otters, because initial excavations revealed prehistoric otter bones and dung amid the human bones.
The animal remains indicate that people visited the burial site only sporadically.
"It suggests the tomb was not entirely sealed and that otters were trampling in and out a lot" throughout the tomb's use, Gibson said.
"For that to occur, you must think there was a gap of a year or two" between grave visits or burials.
Stone Age Not So "Hippy" After All?
So far the excavations, led by the Orkney Research Centre for Archaeology, have "barely scratched the surface," Gibson added.
The archaeologist is confident that the site will yield important new clues to Neolithic funerary practices.
For instance, researchers hope that DNA and isotopic analysis of the human bones will reveal if the dead were closely related and came from the same tight-knit island community or if the burials include newcomers from overseas.
Archaeologists will also investigate whether bones were removed from the tomb for ritualistic purposes.
"This burial is absolutely packed with remains, but with most [other Stone Age tombs], there are actually not that many people in them at the end," Gibson noted.
Meanwhile, recent studies of remains from the nearby Tomb of the Eagles suggest that life among Orkney's Neolithic community of cattle farmers was much less harmonious than previously thought.
At least 20 percent of skulls from that 5,000-year-old site - about a mile from the Tomb of the Otters - show signs of trauma consistent with violent blows from sharp and blunt-edged weapons.
Similar investigations are now being carried out on skeletons from the newfound site.
"Neolithic life has had quite a sort of hippy image," Gibson observed. "But it could be that we are looking at ritualized violence."

Our mission is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.
Nearly one in four students fails to graduate on time in Washington. Communities In Schools offers a solution to the dropout problem. In partnership with public schools facing the greatest dropout challenges, Communities In Schools brings resources and volunteers into the school to help struggling students get back on track.
Comprehensive Services
Many of the young people we serve are facing challenges both inside and outside the classroom. What sets Communities In Schools apart is the way we coordinate a comprehensive range of services to support all the needs of these students—academic and non-academic—so they come to school ready to learn.
The model we use to provide these services places a Communities In Schools site coordinator in a school to assess needs, make a plan, and coordinate intensive interventions for the kids most at risk for dropping out, along with services geared to the entire school. The site coordinator works with local community service partners such as social service agencies, businesses, health care providers and volunteers to connect students with needed resources.
- One-to-one services such as academic help, basic needs like food and clothing, physical and mental health care, mentoring, or college and career preparation help individual students overcome barriers to success at school.
- School-wide offerings like bully prevention assemblies and after-school enrichment meet broad student needs.
Proven Effective
For every $1 invested in CIS, $11.60 comes back to the community
- Locally, we track outcomes against rigorous total quality standards. Nationally, independent studies confirm that Communities In Schools offers a cost-effective, evidence-based model for dropout prevention.
- An economic impact study found that for every $1 invested in our successful model, $11.60 is returned to the community. Read the EMSI study here (PDF)
- A five-year evaluation showed that of all organizations working toward student achievement, only Communities In Schools is proven to decrease dropout rates AND boost on-time graduation rates. Read the CIS evaluation here (PDF)

S.T. Kimbrough, a great treasure of our Conference, is the foremost living scholar on the hymns of Charles Wesley. S. T. called my attention to Wesley's hymn, "Happy the Multitude," in which Wesley says that we Christians should banish "mine" from our vocabulary. On this week of Thanksgiving, pray with me this prayer, Wesley's poetic response to Acts 4:32, "The multitude of them that believed, were of one heart, and one soul; neither said any of them, that aught of the things which he possessed, was his own, but they had all things in common. Neither was there any among them that lacked."
It's good to be reminded that our faith was born in the miracle of religious conversion that led to economic transformation as those who had previously been taught that their possessions were "mine" became born again to see that all we have is God's ("thine").
One of the most miraculous transformations that God works in the heart of the Christian is, in a culture of consumption and material aggrandizement, is the transformation from seeing the world as essentially "mine" to "thine."
1. Happy the multitude
(But far above our sphere)
Redeemed by Jesus' blood
From all we covet here!
To him, and to each other joined,
They all were of one heart and mind.
3. Their goods were free to all,
Appropriated to none,
While none presumed to call
What he possessed his own;
The difference base of thine and mine
Was lost in charity Divine.
4. No overplus, no need,
No rich or poor were there,
Content with daily bread
Where all enjoyed their share;
With every common blessing blessed
They nothing had, yet all possessed.
S.T. Kimbrough, The Unpublished Poetry of Charles Wesley (Nashville: Kingswood, 1992), 2:295–96.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Story highlights
FBI: William James Vahey taught at private schools in 9 countries for 42 years
He's one of "the most prolific alleged predators we've ever seen," agent tells KPRC
Thumb drive allegedly contained images depicting sexual assault on children
FBI is asking potential victims to contact them or nearest American Embassy
An alleged child predator who taught at schools across the world for more than four decades may have more victims, and the FBI is trying to track them down, the agency's Houston bureau said Tuesday.
William James Vahey killed himself in Luverne, Minnesota, last month, two days after a federal judge in Houston said authorities could search one of Vahey's thumb drives that allegedly contained images depicting sexual assault on children, CNN affiliate KPRC reported.
There were images of at least 90 victims, dating back to 2008, and the FBI is encouraging additional alleged victims to come forward. The images on the thumb drive allegedly belonging to Vahey showed boys, estimated to be between 12 and 14 years old, asleep or unconscious, the agency said.
The images had captions and dates referencing places that Vahey had previously traveled with students, the FBI said.
"This is one of the most prolific alleged predators we've ever seen," Houston FBI Special Agent Shauna Dunlap told the station.
Vahey began teaching in private schools in 1972, the FBI says. He last taught at the American Nicaraguan School in Pista Suburbana, Managua, Nicaragua from August 2013 until March 11, two days before he committed suicide, KPRC reported.
The case came to law enforcement attention after Vahey fired his maid for allegedly stealing personal items from his home last year, KPRC said. In March, the ex-maid brought a stolen thumb drive to the American Nicaraguan School, saying she came forward because the drive contained sexual images, the station reported.
The FBI said that when Vahey was confronted with the images, he "reportedly admitted molesting boys throughout his entire life and said he gave the minors sleeping pills prior to the molestation."
He had residences in London and Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, and traveled extensively, the FBI said. He worked at schools in nine countries, teaching a variety of subjects and coaching boys' basketball. He regularly accompanied students on overnight field trips, the FBI said.
The schools where he taught are, according to the FBI:
– American Nicaraguan School in Managua, Nicaragua (2013-2014)
– Southbank International School in London, United Kingdom (2009-2013)
– Escuela Campo Alegre in Caracas, Venezuela (2002-2009)
– Jakarta International School in Jakarta, Indonesia (1992-2002)

In the Windows 8 Developer Preview, users were forced to make do with a single Start screen theme and only limited other means by which they could customize the OS to their liking. In the Consumer Preview, however, the ways in which you can make a Windows 8 system fully customized are dramatically increased.
Here is a short guide to some of the key ways in which you can personalize Windows 8.
Use a Microsoft account
Windows 8 offers three basic logon types: Local (workgroup-type) accounts, domain accounts (for managed, Active Directory-based workplaces), and, new to this OS version, Microsoft accounts. The first two types work exactly as they did before in Windows 7 and previous Windows versions.
On your own PCs, you really should be logging into Windows 8 with a Microsoft account, which is sometimes called a Microsoft ID. (Previously, this type of online account was called a Windows Live ID; it's the same online account used for Zune, Xbox, and many other Microsoft services.) Doing so enables a host of PC sync capabilities (some of which are described below) and deep integration with Microsoft and third party online services, similar in fashion to Windows Phone.
Secret: If you have already logged on with an old-school local account, or perhaps must use a domain-based account for work purposes, have no fear. You can also link that account to a Microsoft account and achieve the exact same PC sync and services integration capabilities.
Lock screen
The Windows Phone-like lock screen is one of Windows 8's prettier features, and you can customize it in some key ways. These include:
Picture. While Microsoft supplies a handful of decent photos you can use as a lock screen background, you can also customize this to use the picture of your choice.
Lock screen apps. You can also configure which apps are allowed to run in the background and supply lock screen-based notification icons, again in a fashion similar to the same Windows Phone feature. You can configure up to seven apps that do so, and some obvious choices include Mail, Messaging, Calendar, and Weather. One of these apps can be selected to display detailed status information; here, Calendar is the obvious choice since it will display information about your next appointment at a glance.
Both of these customizations are available in PC Settings, the new Metro-style control panel, under Personalize, Lock screen.
While the Developer Preview displayed only a basic handful of notifications, this feature is fully enabled in the Consumer Preview and has been modified to act the way it will in the final version. That is, while full-screen notifications still display in a theme-colored, modal band in the center of the screen, app-based notification toasts now appear in the upper right corner of the screen. (In the Developer Preview, they were in the lower right for some reason.)
You can find a number of notification-based settings in PC Settings, under Notifications. Here, you can globally enable/disable app notifications, determine whether they display at all on the lock screen, and enable/disable notification sounds. You can also work through a list of the installed apps that can provide notifications and determine on an app-by-app basis which will do so.
Note, too, that there is a global notification "mute" switch in the Settings charm which can be useful for a quick toggle when you're working. To use this feature, enable the Charms and tap the Notifications icon (near the bottom of the pane) to enable or disable notifications, globally, on the fly.
PC sync
Thanks to Windows 8's integration with SkyDrive, you can sync a wide range of settings between your Windows 8 PCs and, if desired, replicate many of the customizations you use on each, providing a highly similar computing environment on all of your devices. These settings are also configured in PC Settings, under Sync Your Settings.
You can globally configure whether PC sync is enabled on the PC and then individually configure a number of settings, including Personalize (colors, background, lock screen, account picture), Desktop Personalization (themes, taskbar, and more), Ease of Access, App Settings (Metro-style apps only), Browser Settings (IE 10 only, including history, bookmarks, favorites), Other Windows Settings (Windows Explorer and mouse settings), and Sign-in Info (for some apps, web sites, networks, and HomeGroup).
Those on metered Internet connections (typically through a cellular connection) can also sync settings for that connection between PCs and devices.
Other customizations
Those are arguably the three big areas with new customization possibilities and the ones that all new Windows 8 users should examine. But there are others, of course.
Sign-in type
While you can still logon to Windows 8 with a user name and password, those who are utilizing a Microsoft ID, as noted above, can choose to logon with two new options: Picture Password and PIN. These settings are configured in PC Settings, Users.
A Picture Password utilizes a favorite photograph that will display when it's time to logon. So instead of entering your password, you draw three gestures (circles, straight lines, taps) on top of the picture. Do them correctly, and Windows will enter your actual password behind the scenes and log you into the system.
A PIN works as it does on your smartphone: It's a four-digit numeric passcode that makes logging on much quicker. This type of sign-in is typically most useful on a tablet or other highly portable device where typing in a complex password on the touch keyboard would be ponderous.
Note: These features were both available in the Developer Preview, but I'm guessing many users either weren't aware of them or simply didn't use the Developer Preview.
Touch keyboard
With years of improvements behind it, the touch keyboard in Windows 8 is the best version Microsoft has ever created. It works well in either landscape or portrait mode and is ideally suited for two-hand typing, no matter how you're holding it. Not surprisingly, there are a ton of options related to the touch keyboard that you should examine.
These are all found in PC Settings, General, Touch Keyboard.
Available toggles included Show suggestions as I type, Add a space after I choose a text suggestion, Add a period after I double-tap the spacebar, Capitalize the first letter of each sentence, Use all uppercase letters when I double-tap the Shift key, play key sounds as I type, and Make the standard keyboard layout available. There are also options in there related to automatic spelling and language you should examine.
Tip: When you're actually using the touch keyboard, note the keyboard button in the lower right corner. When you tap this, you'll gain access to different entry layouts, including the normal keyboard, the split keyboard (ideal for thumb typing, especially in portrait mode), the old Tablet PC-style text entry panel, or TIP (for use with a stylus), and a button that will dismiss the keyboard.
The split keyboard layout is shown here:
Like Windows Phone, Windows 8 offers a system-wide search feature that, in this case, is triggered by the new Search charm. Search is context-sensitive. So if you trigger search from the Start screen, you will search for apps, settings, and files by default, but the Search panel that comes up lets you also search within apps, where the capabilities offer will vary from app to app.
Not surprisingly, perhaps, you can configure some interesting settings related to Search. These settings can be found in PC Settings, Search.
In this interface, you can delete your search history, determine whether saved searches and most recently searched apps are displayed at the top of the Search pane, and then individually configure which apps are searchable. (By default, any app that interoperates with the Search charm is enabled for search.)
In addition to Search, Windows 8 also offers a global Share charm that allows the system's otherwise sandboxed apps to interoperate with each other. These interactions occur through what's called the Share contract, and apps that participate in this contract can be made to be Share senders and/or receivers. Naturally, these capabilities vary from app to app, but it's not hard to imagine a typical scenario: A photo app may be designed to share photos "out" to other apps, while a mail app might be designed to "receive" photo shares so they can be sent as attachments or inline images in an email.
The Share charm is of course accessible from the system Charms and is context sensitive. That means it will display something different for each app or experience, depending on what you're currently doing.
If you try to access Share from PC settings, for example, the Share pane will note that "PC settings can't share." But do so from the Photos app, with one or more photos selected, and you'll see some interesting options, including, in this case, the ability to email that picture (or pictures) using the Mail app.
If you do select Mail, that app's Share interface will appear, allowing you to construct an email message in which the selected photo(s) are embedded. Nice!
Share settings are of course configure in PC Settings, Share. Here, you'll see options related to whether most-frequently-accessed apps are at the top, how many items appear in that list, and which apps can be used to share.
But wait, there's more...
There's so much more, of course, but I've got a book to write and wanted to just share some highlights for now. A complete guide to personalizing Windows 8 will be available in Windows 8 Secrets when that book is published later this year. In the meantime, enjoy playing with the Windows 8 Consumer Preview, and if you find any surprising ways in which this system is uniquely customizable, please do let me know.

The female reproductive system is designed to carry out several functions. It produces the female egg cells necessary for reproduction, called the ova or oocytes. The system is designed to transport the ova to the site of fertilization. Conception, the fertilization of an egg by a sperm, normally occurs in the fallopian tubes. The next step for the fertilized egg is to implant into the walls of the uterus, beginning the initial stages of pregnancy. If fertilization and/or implantation does not take place, the system is designed to menstruate (the monthly shedding of the uterine lining). In addition, the female reproductive system produces female sex hormones that maintain the reproductive cycle.
What Parts Make up the Female Anatomy?
The female reproductive anatomy includes parts inside and outside the body.
The function of the external female reproductive structures (the genitals) is twofold: To enable sperm to enter the body and to protect the internal genital organs from infectious organisms. The main external structures of the female reproductive system include:
The labia majora enclose and protect the other external reproductive organs. Literally translated as "large lips," the labia majora are relatively large and fleshy, and are comparable to the scrotum in males. The labia majora contain sweat and oil-secreting glands. After puberty, the labia majora are covered with hair Literally translated as "small lips," the labia minora can be very small or up to 2 inches wide. They lie just inside the labia majora, and surround the openings to thevagina (the canal that joins the lower part of the uterus to the outside of the body) and urethra (the tube that carries urine from thebladder to the outside of the body). These glands are located beside the vaginal opening and produce a fluid (mucus) secretion. The two labia minora meet at the clitoris, a small, sensitive protrusion that is comparable to thepenis in males. The clitoris is covered by a fold of skin, called the prepuce, which is similar to the foreskin at the end of the penis. Like the penis, the clitoris is very sensitive to stimulation and can become erect.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will aim to encourage civic engagement and use of technology to solve problems, like helping poor families get diapers for their children, when he appears at an annual tech festival in Austin, Texas. Obama's appearance Friday at South by Southwest Interactive will be the first by a sitting U.S. president.
A technology lover who arranged to keep using his BlackBerry in the office and is often seen using an iPad, Obama wants to talk about how the administration is using technology to help make people's lives better, including by overhauling the government's online processing, simplifying federal application forms and increasing access to government data.
He'll also ask the creative types in attendance to help solve problems, like getting more people to participate in the political process and countering the effects of climate change.
One example Obama likely will cite is a White House-backed effort in which online retailers, manufacturers and nonprofits have come together to help poor families get an important baby necessity: diapers. One in three U.S. families doesn't have access to the diapers they need for their children for reasons as varied as lack of access to smartphones and high-speed Internet to buy them in bulk online at a discount or simply not having enough money for an in-store purchase, the White House says.
Spurred by the administration, the Jet e-commerce company, which sells and ships diapers, and First Quality, maker of the Cuties brand of diapers, created a program that will allow any nonprofit organization to buy diapers at a cost up to 25 percent cheaper than current prices, with no required minimum order and two-day shipping.
As a result, member organizations in a nationwide diaper bank are expected to order more than 15 million diapers through the program this year, according to White House estimates. These groups provide diapers to the mothers and babies they serve.
"When you have a baby, diapers are a necessity. They are not optional," Cecilia Munoz, the president's domestic policy adviser, wrote in an online post. "Addressing the high cost of diapers for low-income families can help to take one more burden off those families as they strive to reach the middle class, and give the next generation the great start in life that all kids deserve."
Obama's proposed budget for 2017 calls for spending $10 million to test different methods of getting diapers to needy families.
South by Southwest Interactive is part of South by Southwest, a movie, music and interactive media festival held in Austin for the past 30 years.
Obama is also scheduled to headline Democratic fundraisers while in Austin.

Slave Master Lyrics
Artist: Del The Funky Homosapien
Album: Future Development (1996)
Let me tell you a little story about the slave master.
Use a whip on your ass so you behave faster.
You got chains on your neck and the Man's respect.
You'll work all damn day but you will never see a check
In the field. Cotton you yield. Your skin peels off your back
From the crack of the whip. It won't heal.
Ya wish you had a shield 'cause he wields iron
So when you act up he smokes ya and keeps firing.
And it's tiring.
Forget about recreation.
One wrong move and it's death you're facing.
White motha fuckaz got the ball and chain
On your leg, and in the form of religion on your brain.
They say, "You the devil."
You say, "Who the devil?!?!"
Some of us was house niggers. Some of us was rebels.
Some tried to get along the best they could.
And didn't nobody use the phrase, "It's all good!"
Would you? They got you living like a shrew.
They throw you pig lips and chicken gizzards. Then you make a stew.
They give us a white Jesus to appease us.
We talk among ourselves and hope nobody sees us.
They had our brothers beating us. Called us createns plus monkeys.
They just junkies mistreating us.
The master said, "If you don't whip 'em, you're dead!"
It was fucking with his head, but he beat us instead.
And we bled.
Red blood flowing like a flood.
Then he'd rape your mother. Stick her face in the mud.
They were ruthless! If you tried to front, you'd be toothless.
Some tried to run even though it seemed useless.
Virginity was torn. Soon babies was born that was half white.
And now his skin is kind of light.
You think you're special, because they let you
Oversee the carnage? But I bet you
Will get hung, even if you stick out your tounge.
'Cause they pull out the shank and stick it right through you're lung.
Now it's 96 and white people say, "Forget it.
It's all in the past." And some even regret it.
'Cause they think we'll set it.
Now my missions to get federal
So I can raise a black family with a true devils
And you know how that goes.
(Chorus 2x)
The slave master watching over you,
Always trying to tell you what the fuck to do!
The slave master watching over you,
But ain't nothing gonna stop me and my crew!
This is for you kids trying to get signed.
Just a little something you should keep in mind:
The labels are slave masters. Artists are slaves.
Don't get too raunchy. They want you to behave.
You get signed. You're thinking, "This is great!"
But wait You never knew what was at stake.
Creative control they withold.
You sell your soul when you sign on the dotted line hoping to go gold.
But you'll never see that, not without promotion.
The label'll just throw your shit out, and got it floatin'.
You think your shit is potent, but ain't nobody buying it.
If they ain't never heard of it, ain't nobody trying it.
If they ain't never heard of it 'your record' they murder it.
You can complain. But they are not concerned a bit.
'Cause when they signed you, they thought you'd make a hit
'cause of who you were affiliated with, and all that bullshit.
Frustrations. All these rules and regulations
Just so you can have your shit heard by the nation.
And be patient.
'Cause by the time they find a lead release, your shit is ancient.
You think they're working your album? You're mistaken.
And if you flop, you get dropped.
'Cause you ain't the star. You didn't go pop.
Just straight up hip-hop. Time to get a mop.
'Cause without no promotion, of course sales drop.
Peep the break down: If tapes cost ($)10,
You'll probaably only get to see a dollar in the end,
That you cannot spend. Cause your budget gets recouped.
So you never get cash unless your record is "Shoop."
You better hope you get shows, which will not happen
If you don't have a record that's the main attraction.
Even if you sell a million, you'll get burned
Cause they keep half your cash just in case of returns.
For a while, you wonder why rappers don't smile.
'cause to them, you're not an artist. You're just another file.
Another nigger used to make another buck.
They don't give a fuck. And if your shit don't blow up, tough.
But the star gets both promotion and devotion
From the whole fucking staff. At you, they laugh.
The star probably don't know that he the house nigger.
Thinking he bigger cause he's the, pick of the litter.
These lebels think backwards. They push the acts that need it the least
So they can get all the money they can when it's released.
They take you to a restarant for a feast,
And then expect you to pck up the check?
That's why I give props to niggaz who is independent:
'Cause they make they own money, plus decide how to spend it.
Splendid.And lets end it.
And don't get offended.
(Chorus 2x)
The slave master watching over you,
Always trying to tell you what the fuck to do.
The slave master watching over you,
But ain't nothing gonna stop me and my crew.
