A woman on her hen night gets more than just a show from her stripper fireman
Den should have checked before she opened her hotel room door; looked through the spy hole in the door; left the security chain on, if nothing else, but she assumed it was one of the girls from the hen party. Den just grabbed her white silk dressing gown and held it against her naked body as she opened the door. She got quite a shock when a tall dark-skinned man walked past her with a...Read On

Electric sex with a friend
Me and an old friend reconnected one day over Facebook. We were really good friends back in high school, but had crushes on each other we never acknowledged until we reconnected.

If the Giants were an automobile, they would not have much of a chance of gaining a passing sticker at the inspection station. They are taking a broken-down roster into New Orleans, where the Saints are putting up nearly 40 points per game this season.
Thanks to injuries, coach Tom Coughlin does not have his starting running back (Ahmad Bradshaw, foot) nor his starting left tackle (Will Beatty, eye), not to mention his best linebacker (Michael Boley, hamstring). And one of his starting receivers, Mario Manningham (knee) is nursing a sore knee. Did we forget to add that defensive end Justin Tuck (ankle, shoulder) hasn't looked like himself since he returned to the lineup during the two-game losing streak?
Enough said, so let's get to the Giants' three key match-ups to watch:
1. Giants offense coordinator Kevin Gilbride vs. Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. Obviously, the Giants would like to control the clock to keep the ball away from the Saints' high-powered offense. The Saints are allowing 5.2 yards per carry and have been hit for almost 6 yards per attempt when running around the right edge of their defense.
But the Giants are averaging less than 85 yards per game on the ground and their revamped offensive line may not be able to establish a ground attack. If they cannot move the ball on the ground, they must switch gears in a hurry and turn the game into a track meet – see if QB Eli Manning can match up score for score with the Saints' Drew Brees.
Williams is a blitz-happy defensive coordinator who has gotten a team-leading 6.5 sacks from safety Roman Harper, who's forced to bring the heat because the front four does not get enough pressure by itself. So the secondary is apt to give up the big play and the defense has just five interceptions. Gilbride cannot be afraid to let Manning wing it, if necessary.
2. Giants' front seven vs. Saints RB Darren Sproles. Sproles is averaging 6.8 yards per carry, but he can beat you in the running game, the passing game and in the kick return game. He has terrific quickness, speed and – you guessed it – juke-a-bility – so the Giants MUST make sure they do not allow him to operate in open space.
One potential answer would be to use a spy on him, perhaps speedy rookie Jacquian Williams could handle the assignment. The trouble with this strategy is that Sproles could be used as a decoy and run the linebacker away from the play.
Regardless of what defensive coordinator Perry Fewell does, the Giants' front seven must maintain its gap integrity because allowing a crease to Sproles is sure to result in a big play.
3. Giants' pass rush vs. Saints QB Drew Brees. Brees leads the NFL with 3,326 passing yards, ranks second with a 71 percent completion mark and is tied for second with 23 TD passes. He has fired scoring strikes to eight different receivers and six Saints have caught at least 25 passes. Oh yes, and the Saints are second in the NFL in scoring at 31.3 points per game.
There is only one blue print to slow them down: the front four MUST get consistent pressure from the inside in order to push the pocket into Brees' face and clog his passing lanes. At the same time, the defensive backs must get a solid jam against the receivers off the line.
Brees, who stands at a diminutive 6-feet tall, utilizes his quick release and throws timing routes as well as any quarterback in the league. The Giants must wreck his timing with some type of push up the middle – even if it requires a periodic safety or linebacker blitz, although it must be disguised well or he'll get a completion off a hot read.
PREDICTION: Saints 35, Giants 23
What's your prediction for Giants-Saints? Let Dottino know in the comments below…

Peace seems elusive for people of Assam's North Cachar HillsMay 24th, 2008 - 1:25 pm ICT by admin
By Alex Todd
Guwahati, May 24 (ANI): Peace and stability appears to eluding the people of Assam's North Cachar Hills.
The recent killing of twelve railway construction workers in Retzol by the insurgent outfit Dima Halam Doaga (DHD) has not only hampered a mega broad gauge conversion work in the region, but also severely hampered the lives of the common people.
The killings took place in retaliation for the killing of 12 DHD cadres by the Army.
Everything has ground to a standstill. Sixteen private railway construction companies in the region have decided to stop work after the rebel strikes.
With the suspension of trains, activity in stations like Haflong, have been severely affected.
Daily wage earners and passengers have to wait endlessly for the resumption of railway services in the area.
"We are suffering the most because we are totally dependent on resumption of rail services. We don't have any other source of income," said Bapa Das, a railway vendor, in Haflong.
Vishwa Das, a daily wager, said, "Essential commodities will fall short and what will happen. Besides food, there are health emergencies that people have been facing. How the people will travel?"
To condemn the killing of railway construction workers, citizens recently participated in a street march in protest. The rally was organized by the Indigenous People's Forum.
"All development has been severely hampered. Work on the railway lines as well as the national highway work has been stopped," said Josias Jeme, President of the Indigenous People's Forum.
The North East Frontier Railway has several ongoing projects in the region, including constructing new lines and converting meter gauge lines to broad gauge.
The 294 km Lumding-Silchar-Jiribam project, which covers the North Cachar Hills, is expected to benefit the people of both Assam and Manipur once it is completed. But the continuing violence has put a stop to the project temporarily.
"If any incident occurs in North Cachar, labour flees from the worksite. They move to the safest places to their homes. We have been working here since the last one-year. We have completed just four per cent of the work," said Aurobindo, a railway official.
The State administration and security forces have discussed the prospects of getting the development projects underway.
"This meeting result includes security cover for railway projects, the resumption of railway service of this area and also for other vulnerable areas such as cement plants and highway projects," said Rajiv Bora, Home Commissioner, Assam
The shadow of violence will continue to hamper growth and the people of Hill districts like the North Cachar Hills will not gain any reprieve. (ANI)

What Does Jordy Nelson's Injury Mean for Packers' Playoff Chances?December 3, 2012
For the first time since NFL Week 4, Jordy Nelson and Greg Jennings were prepared to start together, give the Minnesota Vikings matchup headaches and make a run to the playoffs. As ESPN's Kevin Seifert reports, Nelson didn't make it through the first quarter.
The Green Bay Packers are undoubtedly disappointed with this development, but they have been able to get along well without their No. 1 receiver, Jennings, for the majority of the season. Green Bay is 8-4 despite missing Jennings for seven full games—including two wins without Jennings or Nelson. Those two wins were a function of the competition (the Jacksonville Jaguars and Arizona Cardinals), the venue (both wins were at home) and the deepest wide receiver corps in the NFL.
That's why Green Bay doesn't have to rush Nelson back this week: Randall Cobb, James Jones and Jennings can take care of matters while Nelson gets right.
In Week 11, the Packers beat the Detroit Lions on the road without Jennings. In Week 14, those same Lions will visit Lambeau Field, where they've been handled every time Jennings suited up against them in his career.
It would be advantageous for Green Bay to have Nelson in the lineup while it attempts to sweep the Chicago Bears this season (Week 15). The Seattle Seahawks may have finally repaid their debt to Green Bay from Week 3 by knocking off the Bears at Soldier Field, placing the Pack in first place in the NFC North.
A home date with the Tennessee Titans (Week 16) and a rematch with the Vikings in Minnesota (Week 17) should set the Packers up to compile at least a 3-1 record over the fourth quarter of the season.
If that happens, Green Bay would finish 2012 at 11-5: a record that would be good enough to secure a wild-card spot should Chicago win out. The Bears play each of their division rivals in the season's final month, along with a Week 16 matchup with the Cardinals that could get downright ugly.
If the Packers can beat the Bears in Chicago, the division is all but theirs.

Just clicks. At one point it said no key was detected. It did
turn on the ACC at one point but the navigation screen
seemed to be stuck. Any ideas?
2 Answers
Call the people where you bought the car.ask them buttons to push on your ramote to realese scurity and alarm so the car will start
The clicking probably means your battery is really weak. Use a code saver to save the computer codes and save some trouble but you probably just need a new battery but first charge the one you have.

Marijuana and mountains have become a weary mix for ski resorts in Colorado and soon in Washington as legal sales of recreational marijuana get going. Possession of up to an ounce is already legal for anyone over 21 years old.
Ski resorts are worried that tourists visiting for legalized cannabis will have the misconception that they will be allowed to spark up on the slopes. In both Colorado and Washington, ski resorts follow federal laws because they operate on Forest Service land.
Some ski resorts are distributing handouts to inform skiers and snowboarders that the resorts are on federal land where all marijuana is illegal, just as in the rest of the country.
Related stories:
- Answered: Is marijuana allowed in Sea-Tac Airport?
- Answered: Is marijuana legal out in Puget Sound, other local waterways?
"We have a policy against smoking cigarettes anyways, so it hasn't been an issue," said Crystal Mountain ski patrol Paul Baugher. "Occasionally, we'd see some kids crowding in a circle by the gondola cabin and it'd be obvious that they're smoking some stuff."
However, Baugher said it's not the ski patrol's responsibility nor part of their training regime to bust skiers for possession of marijuana. The only time they consider marijuana use to be a major issue and take any action such as making people leave the mountain is when they hear complaints from other skiers.
Also, in Colorado, it has been illegal to ski, board or even hop on a ski lift under the influence.

College World Series: Estep's Omaha Diary, Part IJune 23, 2008
After departing from Athens at 9 a.m. Eastern time on Sunday morning, I finally arrived in Omaha at 5 a.m. Central time Monday morning. In case you were wondering what it takes for a road trip from Georgia to Nebraska, here's a list of what it entails:
—20 long, long hours in a car
—About $150 in gas, even in a mostly fuel-efficient Volvo
—A mostly fuel-efficient Volvo borrowed from your mother
—Seven states (Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska)
—Passing wonderful places such as The Home of Superman (Metropolis, Illinois) and the National Quilting Museum (in Paducah, Kentucky)
—Crossing over four of the country's major rivers (Tennessee, Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri)
—Entirely too much time spent looking at corn
—About a pound of sunflower seeds
—Not being a coffee drinker, roughly 16 Cokes (at 39 mg of caffeine per 12 oz. can, that's 624 mg)
—Five different McDonald's in four different states (the McDonald's in Tennessee were just so high-quality I couldn't resist)
—400 songs, at an average length of three minutes apiece
—An entire one-pound bag of pretzels and several bags of Cheetos

Just eight years after suffering a potentially life-threatening brain haemorrhage, a professional rugby player from St Helens has graduated from university.
Declan Sephton-Hulme's parents were warned that their son may never walk again after doctors placed him in an induced coma when he collapsed after returning home from rugby training.
No wonder then that the 21-year-old Widnes Vikings player's friends and family were so proud to see him graduate with a 2:1 honours degree in Sport and Exercise Science from Edge Hill this summer.
He was even awarded the university's inaugural Adam Bell scholarship after being chosen for his "honesty, resilience, hard work and commitment to his studies".
Declan said: "I was obviously delighted to graduate, but I don't plan to use my degree for the foreseeable future because I'm hoping to forge a career as a rugby player.
"If that ever fell through, the degree would give me something to fall back on though. And rugby careers don't exactly last a lifetime!"
Declan was just 13 when he returned home from a Warrington Wolves scholarship audition and collapsed at his parents' Sutton home.
During the course of an 11-day coma, medics discovered that his collapse had been a result of an undiagnosed, genetic brain condition - Arterio Venous Malformation (AVM).
When his parents asked whether their son would be able to play rugby again, doctors warned them that he would be likely to experience paralysis, cerebral palsies and be unable to walk or talk.
Thankfully, the "worst case scenario" did not materialise and Declan was able to return home after a two-month hospital stay - albeit with speech and memory problems.
Now, despite having to undergo regular treatment and go for annual hospital check-ups, Declan remains largely unaffected.
He said: "Going through something like that does give you a fresh perspective on life. I'm more laid back now and just take life as it comes and I'm more grounded.
"It also instilled in me the motivation to do everything to the best of my ability. If you're going to do something you might as well do it properly."
Declan, currently on loan at Workington, recently had his Widnes Vikings contract extended by a year.
He made his Super League debut at the end of last season and hopes to force his way into the Widnes side in his preferred position of centre within the next 12 months.
"But I'd love to force my way into the side," he said.
. At the moment there are other players at the club with more experience than me - but I've enjoyed gaining more experience at Workington and feel ready for a chance.
"Graduating from uni means that I can focus 100 per cent on my rugby now too, which can only help.
"Juggling studying and training has been tough - but it's all been worth it, both on and off the pitch."

Instructions by Vamsidasa
Though many people, attracted by the fame and austerity of Vamsidasa would come to him for benedictions, Vamsidasa would generally ignore them. Once in a while he would get angry at people asking for material benefits and strongly chastise them. However sometimes when he was approached by a sincere seeker then Vamsidasa would instruct him in his typical fashion by conversing with the Deities. Some of his instructions are:
"Whoever offends a Vaishnava cannot be saved."
jive-daya name-ruci vaisnava-sevana
iha chara dharma nahi suna sanatana
"Kindness to all living beings, taste for the holy name and service to the Vaishnavas – apart from this there is no other religion."
Once a man asked Vamsidasa how to attain God. Vamsidasa replied: "The personality of Kali is extremely powerful. When Kali came, Krsna told Narada, 'Now it is time for Me to go.' Sri Narada asked, 'What will be the future of the creatures in this world?' Krsna replied, 'Those who worship the brahmanas and feed them will attain Me.' Narada asked, 'What of those who are too poor to serve the brahmanas?' Krsna replied, 'Those who worship Me with flowers and Tulasi will attain Me.' Narada then asked, 'What of those who are lame from birth?' Krsna replied, 'If some one only once at the end of the day calls My name with undivided devotion, he will attain Me!'"
Final Pastimes of Vamsidasa
On March 17th 1944 Vamsidasa returned to his home town of Majitpur. He did not actually enter the town as it is traditional for renunciants not to return to their former family. He lived there for some time and finally on Caturthi, July 23, 1944, Srila Vamsidasa Babaji Maharaja concluded his earthly pastimes and resumed his service to Lord Krsna in Goloka.

Gazprom Plans Expansion in Croatia With Pipe, Power Plant
OAO Gazprom (GAZP), Russia's natural-gas export monopoly, intends to build a pipeline to Croatia and a power plant in the country to maintain its market for the fuel.
The gas link, to be developed with local partner Plinacro d.o.o., will branch off from Russia's planned South Stream pipeline, Gazprom Deputy Chief Executive Officer Alexander Medvedev said today in Zagreb, the Balkan country's capital.
"We intend not only to supply gas, but also to develop the gas market, and one of the ways is to build gas-powered electric plants," Medvedev said.
Gazprom plans to add pipes and power stations in Europe to keep market share in the continent as slowing economic growth curbs demand and competition for customers increases. The Moscow-based producer has largely relied on piped fuel even as global output of liquefied natural gas expands.
Gazprom and Plinacro will build a connector with capacity to carry 2.7 billion cubic meters a year, Mladen Antunovic, head of Plinacro, said today in an interview. The pipeline, costing an estimated 60 million euros ($80 million) to build, may start operating in December 2016, he said.
Gazprom, the world's biggest gas producer, and partners Eni SpA (ENI), Wintershall AG and Electricite de France SA, started work last month on the South Stream pipe, which will run from Russia under the Black Sea to eastern and southern Europe. The project is scheduled to start delivering gas at the end of 2015 and reach capacity of 63 billion cubic meters a year in 2019.
Electric Plants
Gazprom's plans to build a power station in Croatia may focus on Osijek, in the east of the country, Medvedev said. The company would construct a 500-megawatt plant in cooperation with local utility Hrvatska Elektropriveda DD, he said.
"We are also ready to invest into electric power plants in Croatia, and we are ready to sign contracts for direct supply of our gas to such plants," Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller said today after meeting with Croatian Deputy Prime Minister Vesna Pusic.
Gazprom is also interested in participating in tenders for oil exploration in Croatia, Miller said.
A joint company for the construction of the gas pipeline to Croatia will be set up in the second half of the year, Gazprom said in an e-mailed statement today.

Carpe Dome-em
Kelly Kraus | Tuesday, September 4, 2012
Here it is. The once a year (okay, more like once every few weeks) nostalgic "do it while you can!" letter. But seriously, people. You know that event your dorm is hosting you think sounds kind of cool? Go to it! Stop making excuses. Wake up from your nap, drag your best friend with you, just go to the events and activities that you keep talking about. Your time here is limited. Make the best of it.
I can say all of this with the utmost confidence because here I am in my "victory lap" becoming a Double Domer. Yeah, it is still as much of a surprise to me as it is to everyone I see on campus who says, "What are you still doing here?!"
After graduation in May, I was in a state of denial about not returning to Notre Dame. It seemed surreal that I would never again experience game day as a student or sing the alma mater arm in arm with my classmates. It is the little moments like this that you will miss most of all. Embrace them. (Literally.)
So, what am I still doing here? Good question. I am getting my Masters of Science in the ESTEEM program in a last minute decision. (I'm talking committed five days before orientation started.) I just couldn't stay away, and I am so happy with my decision. For those of you as undecided about your future as I am, it is okay! Take a minute to breathe.Everything is going to work out.
This may seem like a meaningless post, but I swear it has a point. The point is this: The time is now. Not tomorrow, not next year. NOW. Go to the soccer game. Stay up late for a quarter dog. See the hypnotist show. Attend a free concert at Legends even if you don't know the band. Head over to Main Building for Drummer's Circle. Check off your bucket list now because your time at Notre Dame is going to run out before you can even believe it. Not everyone is going to get a second chance, but I swear I am going to do it right this time. Take advantage of everything and everyone around you while it lasts.
With that said…
Go Irish! Beat Boilermakers!

How to protect your child online
- Details
- Written by Super User
Twenty-nine per cent of Kenyan children do not know how to protect themselves online or where they can learn such information. This is according to a 2013 UNICEF report titled A (Private) Public Space:
A (Private) Public Space:Examining the Use and Impact of Digital and Social Media Among Adolescents in Kenya that surveyed a group of 12 to 17 year olds in the country. This worrying statistic is compounded by the fact that 42 per cent of Kenyan youth have access to the access the internet two to three times per week yet a number of them may even be aware of the risks the internet poses.
It is this lack of information on child online protection that Watoto Watch Network hopes to bridge through the talks and trainings it provides.
"In our trainings we have come to realise that children are aloof when it comes to the risks involved with the use of the internet so apart from teaching children, parents and teachers on the dangers found online, we also show them how to protect themselves," said Lillian Kariuki, Executive Director of Watoto Watch Network.
One of the ways Kenyan children can protect themselves from on line abuse is by the use of privacy settings.
"Most teenagers use the internet to connect with friends or meet new ones so social media sites are very popular with them. We show them practically how to put privacy settings on these sites," said Kariuki.
Facebook a popular social networking site among Kenyan teenagers for instance only allows children thirteen years and up to open a profile. They also provide various tips on how to stay safe on their platform. Twitter, another popular site also offers ways of reporting inappropriate content
such as child sexual exploitation.
Parental controls can also be placed on internet-enabled gadgets such as smartphones, laptops, tablets or provided by one's Internet Service Provider (ISP), There are also softwares, some of which are free that install filters for safer internet use.
All these controls are not of much use if parents are not willing to talk to their children about how to use the internet in a safe manner.
"Parents need to first educate themselves on the sites their children are using and the risks involved so that they can better teach them how to protect themselves," said Kariuki. "Children are very tech savvy today and some may even know how to remove the filters and controls but if they understand the dangers lurking on the internet then they will be more careful," she added.
The 2013 UNICEF report also chimes in when it comes to the parent gap in child online safety.
"Participants said their parents often use fear, instead of informative conversations, to restrict online and social media use, and they don't provide explanations for their restrictions. It is rarely about educating young people on their digital safety," said the report.
It is no wonder that 64 per cent of the adolescents surveyed in the report would prefer learning about online protection from their friends.
Watoto Watch Network largely works to prevent child online abuse through information sharing but if it does happen they have mechanisms in place on how to report it to the authorities.
"We have partnered with the Cybercrime Unit of the CID so if parents suspect their child has been abused online we can help them lodge a complaint," said Kariuki.
Watoto Watch also invites the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to their trainings to further inform people on the procedure of reporting a crime. By February 2016, Watoto Watch would also like to launch a helpline for child online abuse.

I can't lose him, yet don't know if I can marry a cold fish.Visitor's Question from a 31-40 year old Female
I just found your site, and i LOVE it...
That being said, perhaps you can shed new light on an on-going, seemingly unresolvable problem. My fiancee' and I were engaged 6 months ago, after purchasing a house together. We've been together 2 years. We have gone to see a counselor for this...but he just listens, nods, and collects his check. I will call him "J". J and I have an intimacy problem. He isn't one for touching, or contact to show love. He does things for me. I can't complain...this man is the best thing that's ever happened to me...however, I'm very affectionate, and when I go over and hug him...it's like hugging a post! He has a difficult time returning just a touch. He at least holds my hand, now, without walking beside me like a brother. We've talked about it to the point where I think he feels like he can't make me happy because he is incapable of giving me what I need. I think a simple touch, arm around me, hug, hand on my knee... simple closeness is not out of line, and would think that if you love someone...it's automatic. SO... this issue has triggered a major depression. I feel unattractive, which then makes me very insecure with him, then a depression like i've never known! I've gained 10lbs this past 6 months..and that adds gas to the fire, I then dislike me!! PLEASE HELP! I desperately LOVE this man, and we're getting married Valentine's day. But I can't live with his level of affection and be happy. When I try to concentrate on accepting and loving him as-is. I get resentful because he LOVES the attention I shower on him. He's spoiled! EVERYTHING ELSE IS PERFECT. It all just makes the tears come, because I can't lose him, yet don't know if I can marry a cold fish.
=0( Help me...please?
RomanceClass.com Advice
You've gone to a professional counselor with no results.
I am no professional by any means, but will give you my impressions.
The first is more of a question. You say "Everything else is perfect." That could lead me to believe that you sex life is perfect, but I doubt it. How could such a cold fish do that? Let's assume your sex life isn't ok.
Have you tried telling him what to do? Walk up to him and tell him to put his arms around you. In the car tell him to reach over and put his hand on your knee. Or perhaps you could simply move his arms and hands for him. This is not what you want, but it could be a beginning.
It is unlikely that you haven't tried anything I might think of. He must not have gotten any affection as a child and that's why he is the way he is. Small consolation to you though. Does he smile at you? Tell him to do that "right now."
I wonder whether getting married would improve him or make him worse. Whose idea was it to get married?
You definitely have a problem on your hands and I wish you well in trying to sort it out.
Good luck! George

Spanish Professor Publishes Articles
Studies in contemporary Spanish fiction | October 18, 2006
"Eduardo Mendoza: ¿novelista catalán?" (Eduardo Mendoza: A Catalonian Novelist?) appears in a collection titled La cultura catalana de expresión castellana. Estudios de literatura, teatro y cine (Catalonian Cultura in Castillian. Studies of literature, theatre, and cinema), published in Spain by Reichenberger. The article considers the work of contemporary Spanish novelist Eduardo Mendoza, a native of Barcelona who writes in Castillian Spanish rather than the regional Catalonian language.
"Madrid posglobal: Rafael Reig y Sangre a borbotones" (Postglobal Madrid: Gushing Blood>by Rafael Reig) appears in Madrid en la Literatura y las Artes. The article studies this 2002 novel, a distopian view of the Spanish capital in a not-so-distant future when the world has run out of petroleum and multinational corporations control everyone's lives.
"A Taste of Crime: Detectives, Food, Culture, and Society" has been released in Volume XXI of Monographic Review. This article studies the imagery of food and dining in the novels of contemporary Spanish detective writer Alicia Giménez Bartlett.

A new program at the University of Washington Tacoma will pair students with local agencies and businesses for year-long paid internships that emphasize community-based learning.
The City of Tacoma and United Way of Pierce County will be the first agencies to participate in the Institution-to-Institution internship program. Each will take on two UWT students who will spend a year lending their skills to the institutions while learning to apply their education to the world around them.
"Major institutions in the community have an important role to play in the education, professional development and continuing support of UW Tacoma students," UWT Chancellor Debra Friedman said in a news release. "We are pleased to formalize these partnerships."
Internships are available through the city for students interested in working with cybersecurity and in the City Manager's office. At United Way, interns will work in social media, marketing, community education and resource development. Students who are accepted into the program will be paid through UW Tacoma to earn money to help fund their education.
The model was tested over the past year with internships at the Museum of Glass and the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound. The university hopes to increase the number of available internships by establishing partnerships with additional local businesses.
UWT students interested in one of the four available internships should contact Julia Smith at firstname.lastname@example.com or 253-692-5895.

Quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithms (QIEAs) exploit princi- ples of quantum mechanics to improve the performance of classical evolutio- nary algorithms. This paper presents a new model of QIEA ("Quantum-Inspired Linear Genetic Programming" - QILGP) to evolve machine code programs. Symbolic regression problems and the current more efficient model to evolve machine code (AIMGP) are used in comparative tests. QILGP outperforms it, obtaining better solutions with fewer evaluations, parameters and operators. One conclude that the quantum inspiration can be a competitive approach to evolve programs more efficiently

They play international concert halls, they champion old Russian works and they premiere new ones. They're the Rimsky-Korsakov String Quartet from St. Petersburg, Russia, hailed by German media for their "powerful romantic sound," and they're finishing up a West Coast tour with a concert in Tacoma's Urban Grace Church this Sunday afternoon.
Fresh from a standing ovation from a near-full house in Benaroya Hall's recital hall, the quartet will play the Borodin String Quartet no. 1 and Schumann's Piano Quintet, as well as pieces from "Les Vendredis," short works by Romantic Russian composers which were played on Friday nights at the St. Petersburg mansion of 19th-century lumber baron, publisher and amateur violist Mitrofan Belaiev.

Baseball: Squad ready for first home contest
Chris Allen | Wednesday, March 23, 2011
Irish coach Mik Aoki has waited more than eight months since his official hiring date on July 13, 2010 for his home debut at Notre Dame. As the rains fell hard in South Bend Tuesday, it was clear that Aoki would have to wait one more day for his first game at Frank Eck Stadium.
The Irish home opener against Oakland slated for Tuesday night may have been rained out, but Notre Dame (7-10-1) will take the field tonight against Illinois-Chicago (6-10) to begin the 2011 home schedule.
Aoki's squad is returning from a long road trip over spring break that saw the team go 3-4-1 in eight games. The team struggled on offense throughout the trip, failing to score more than five runs in any game. Aoki said he was disappointed in the team's showing at the plate.
"I was disappointed in the quality of our at-bats," he said. "Guys were pressing. Guys sort of came out of who they were a little bit. It comes from a good place. They wanted to win. They were trying like crazy. I think in baseball sometimes, there comes a point where you can try too hard at the plate. There's times where you just have to let the game come to you, and I didn't think that we handled that all that well."
The Irish will likely have a chance to improve the quality of their at-bats against a Flames staff that brings a 5.28 ERA after 16 games.
Freshman first baseman Trey Mancini has been a standout at the plate for Notre Dame, batting .333 with two home runs and nine RBIs over the course of the season. Aoki said he has noticed a gradual improvement in the quality of his team's at-bats.
"By and large, our at-bats are better," he said. "But the improvement is coming slowly."
Freshman pitcher Anthony McIver was slated to start on the mound for the Irish in Tuesday's rained-out game. The young southpaw is 0-1 on the season for Notre Dame with a 3.38 ERA.
McIver has demonstrated excellent control in his 16 innings of work, walking only four batters. Strong control has been a trademark of the Notre Dame pitching staff thus far into the season, a quality that Aoki said is extremely important.
"If there's any one thing that I can point to on our staff that has led to the improved numbers overall from what each of those kids have done in years past, it's the ability to throw strikes," he said. "I hear it from coaches all the time: the value of strike-throwers in this new era of college baseball with the new bats, it's just off the charts how important it is to throw strikes."
The Irish will take on the Flames tonight with first pitch slated for 5:35 p.m.

A nonprofit group formed with the help of the state's largest oil companies can keep its membership secret, the Alaska Public Offices Commission ruled Tuesday.
Sound off on the important issues at
The group, Alaska's Future, does not meet state requirements that would force it to disclose its income and expenditures, commissioners said.
In making their decision, commissioners said they had to follow a confusing exception to state campaign finance disclosure laws. Chairman Larry Wood asked the Alaska Legislature to take up the law again "and put some more meat around it."
The decision was the result of a complaint made by two sponsors of a Nov. 7 ballot initiative to tax the leaseholders of the North Slope's natural gas reserves. Democratic Reps. Eric Croft and Harry Crawford of Anchorage filed the complaint with APOC after Alaska's Future aired a television commercial urging Alaskans to vote against the initiative.
Croft and Crawford said Alaska's Future should be forced to register with the state so voters could see the source of the money used to influence an election. They call the group a front for Exxon Mobil Corp., BP and ConocoPhillips through which they can fight tax hikes anonymously.
With the commission's ruling, other industries now have a roadmap on how to mislead the public and stay hidden, Croft said afterward.
"It's a lie, but they just got permission to keep telling that lie," Croft said.
Earlier this month, the founding president of Alaska's Future, George Culpepper Jr., told The Associated Press that the group was the brainchild of the three oil companies and political consultant Art Hackney. By the time the group legally formed in October 2005, ConocoPhillips had dropped out because it was close to a fiscal contract with Gov. Frank Murkowski on a North Slope natural gas pipeline, Culpepper said.
ConocoPhillips' vice president of external affairs has disputed that ConocoPhillips was an originator of Alaska's Future. ConocoPhillips decided not to accept Hackney's recommendation of helping start a third-party group then, and only became a member of Alaska's Future last month, Jack Griffin said in an e-mail to The Associated Press
The group's current president, Shane Langland, said the mission of Alaska's Future then and now is to promote jobs, a vibrant economy and fiscal planning for the state. He said Alaska's Future has hundreds of members across a number of industries, and the ballot initiative was just one of the issues the group was looking at.
The commission's ruling was unanimous, but each commissioner urged state lawmakers to take another look at the law upon which it was based: At what point does an association of individuals become a group the public needs to know more about?
"I am troubled because I believe that the record is incomplete, and I'm also troubled because I think the statutes and regulations are extremely confusing," said Commissioner Elizabeth Hickerson.
Under the law, a group must register with the state if its primary purpose is to influence the outcome of an election.
Because Alaska's Future was created as a nonprofit corporation meant to educate Alaskans on several pro-business issues, the group does not have to register, an APOC staff investigation concluded.
The group disclosed $33,800 in expenditures for the television ad that aired against the ballot initiative, but does not have to disclose anything not directly related to the initiative, the staff recommendation reads.
Croft argued that a primary purpose of the group was to fight oil tax hikes Therefore, they should be required to register, he said.
Not so, said APOC executive director Brooke Miles and Department of Law attorney Margaret Paton-Walsh: The Legislature wrote the law specifically to prevent some groups from having to disclose their memberships.
Alaska's Future falls in that loophole, even if the group's primary purpose changes.
"They appear to be covered by this exception that the law very clearly created," Paton-Walsh said.
Timothy McKeever, the attorney for Alaska's Future, said without Culpepper's direct testimony, what he said to the AP does not rise to the level of credible evidence in this case.
"The commission can't base its decision on newspaper articles, which are hearsay at best," McKeever said.

Anna Nicole's estate wants money
2011-01-18 14:53
Washington - The US Supreme Court is preparing to hear arguments on whether Anna Nicole Smith's estate should get part of the fortune left behind by her elderly Texas billionaire husband.
Lawyers for the deceased former Playmate plan to tell justices on Tuesday that her estate deserves some of the $1.6bn estate of her late husband, J Howard Marshall.
Marshall's will left nearly all his money to his son, E Pierce Marshall, and nothing to Smith, who said her husband of 14 months promised to leave the actress-model more than $300m.
But a federal appeals court sided with a Houston jury that said Marshall was mentally fit when he left his estate to his son and nothing to Smith.
Marshall died in 1995, his son died in 2006 and Smith died in 2007.

UnNews:Mark Wallinger's horse penis to be made into a Landmark

Mark Wallinger's horse penis to be made into a Landmark
The news outlet with approval higher than Congress
Wednesday, March 21, 2018, 01:51:59 (UTC)
• Newsroom • Audio (staff) • Foolitzer Prize
• Indexes • Random story
10 February 2009
The Ebbsfleet Landmark Project (ELP) announced today that they will erect Mark Wallinger's giant horse penis in an attempt to bring focus away from Breast Cancer and back onto Testicular Cancer which they believe has been neglected. Wallinger's penis drew the most votes from the ELP's board of voters who chose it over a giant bird's egg and a pile of cubes which were seen to be "plain stupid".
As a result of choosing the horse's penis the ELP has come under fire not only from members of the Cancer Buddies Network, Facebook for people with Cancer, but also from Christians who have been told that the sculpture will be twice as tall as the not so popular Angel of The North which has become a mascot of sorts since the death of Jesus. "Unlike Christianity we know that sex and Testicular Cancer will in some ways stay with the human race to the end of its existence" Wallinger said at the ceremony when he first proposed his sculpture. Supporting Wallinger and his phallus are Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand, both of whom are known for their ferocious sexual appetites.
The sculpture, which is to be built in Kent, is aimed to be complete by 2012 and will possibly present new unforseen opportunities for the Olympic Games that will be held the same year. With the £2m commision with which Wallinger is to build the sculpture, they will be able to include an inner reinforced titanium layer "in case of terrorist attacks or learner pilots" a representative of ELP told a reporter, "The Angel of The North poses no gateway to national security, however we feel that the destruction of this mighty phallus could bring an end to England". It is clear that any attack on the structure could bring an end to some of the citizens of Kent as it could collapse onto any of the four retirement homes that will surround it.

Steroid Users May Be Twice As Likely To Be Violent
U.S. researchers said on Wednesday that young men who use anabolic steroids are twice as likely to engage in violence than those who do not use the muscle-building drugs.
Anabolic steroids are synthetic drugs related to male sex hormones. And while many scientists believe steroids are linked to aggressive behavior, research has been limited. Some users refer to so-called "roid rage" fueled by the drugs."We're finding that steroid users are more likely to become violent, even above and beyond their prior levels of violence," said Kevin Beaver of Florida State University's College of Criminology and Criminal Justice, whose study appears in the American Journal of Public Health.
"That would tend to suggest that there is something about steroid use that increases violence," Beaver said.
The researchers examined data on a nationally representative sample of 6,823 young men who were tracked from 1994, when they were in middle school or high school, through to 2002.
Beaver said those men who used anabolic steroids either in the past year or at any time in their lives were about twice as likely to have committed at least one violent act in the past year than men who never used them -- even when statistically accounting for other drug use or prior violent tendencies.
Violent acts included fights, shootings, stabbings or injuring another person badly enough to need medical attention. The men reported their own drug use and violence.
In June 2007, the issue of violence and steroids got heavy attention after Canadian-born professional wrestling star Chris Benoit killed his wife and 7-year-old son and then committed suicide outside Atlanta.
Benoit's autopsy results showed large amounts of anabolic steroids and other drugs in his system.
"So if you know someone who is taking steroids, does that mean they're going to become violent? No," Beaver said. "Does it mean that they have a greater likelihood than if they had abstained from using steroids? Yes."
However, Beaver said the study's design did not allow researchers to conclude definitively that steroids were the cause of the increased violent behavior.
Steroid use in women was not included in the study.
Some athletes and bodybuilders use the drugs to build muscle and improve athletic performance and physical appearance. Anabolic steroids are legally available only by prescription from a doctor in the United States.
Numerous medical issues such as heart problems, liver disease and acne have been linked to steroids.
Steroids have also have been linked to breast growth in men and shrinking of the testicles. In women, they have been linked to deepening of the voice, enlargement of the clitoris and body hair growth.
Beaver said he was interested to see what evidence there was for violence associated with steroid use, noting that some previous studies had not found the drugs to be linked to aggression or violence.
Some experts have pointed out that in the case of Benoit, he also had extensive brain injuries suffered in wrestling matches that might have contributed to his actions.

For the past twelve years, adults called "Freds" have raised Rosi, her younger brother Bobo, and the other children of their town, saying it is too dangerous for them to stay with their parent. But now they are all being sent back. Since Rosi is the oldest, all the younger kids are looking to her with questions she doesn't have the answers to. She'd always trusted the Freds completely, but now she's not so sure.

The Boston University women's basketball team was looking to end the regular season on a high note when they took on the College of the Holy Cross Saturday afternoon at Case Gym. BU did just that, capturing a hard-fought 67-65 win on Senior Day.
"It's wonderful, an emotional day and the culmination of four terrific years with four terrific women," said BU coach Kelly Greenberg. "It was really nice to see some people in the stands who haven't been in a while and that just shows the type of people that they [the seniors] are. People who had graduated years ago came back."
All four seniors put up double-digit points during the win with forward Rashidat Agboola leading the way with 19 points. Forward Whitney Turner and guards Danielle Callahan and Melissa Gallo had 12 points each.
At the start of the game, Holy Cross guard Brisje Malone opened the scoring with a 3-pointer, but that was followed by a layup make from Turner.
The Terriers and the Crusaders exchanged baskets for much of the rest of the half, and neither team could grab hold of a sizable lead for most of the frame. A 3-pointer by guard Alex Smith at the 5:52 mark tied the game at 25-25, changing the complexion of the rest of the half. After the trey, the Crusaders would continue on a 15-6 run to end the half with a nine-point lead.
In the first frame, the Crusaders shot an impressive 50 percent from behind the arc and 41 percent overall from the field.
At the break, Gallo had 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting to lead the Terrier offense.
As a whole, the BU shot 42.9 percent from the field and 33 percent from behind the 3-point arc in the opening half.
The Terriers came out of the break firing on all cylinders, going on a 12-0 run. The stretch was capped by a layup from sophomore guard Clodagh Scannell with 14:54 remaining to put BU up 43-40.
"From first half to second half it was all about our defense," Greenberg said. "To start the second half we got some easy baskets, they were some emotional baskets and from that point on our defense was just unbelievable.
"I remember in the first five minutes someone tried to drive baseline and [Turner] came and helped, they had to pass it back out and we were there," Greenberg said. "We were just covering everybody's back really well and our defense won the game."
BU held a 49-45 lead with 9:48 left in the game when the Crusaders went on a 9-0 run of their own go up by five points. Callahan answered with a trey ball and the Crusader lead slimmed to just 54-52.
From that point on, it was the Terrier seniors who controlled the game. Callahan, in particular, had seven points during the final stretch where the Terriers scored their final 15 points.
Guard Alex Smith had a chance to give Holy Cross the win at the buzzer, but her contested 3-pointer did not fall and the Terriers walked away with the win.
To go along with BU's 56.5 percent shooting from the floor, the Terriers' ability to rebound was also a game-changer in the second half. At the end of the first, the Crusaders out-rebounded the Terriers by a 28-12 margin. That number shrunk in the second half though, as each team grabbed 21 boards in the frame.
Greenberg said the success on the glass was due to the four seniors' strong play and tenacity throughout the game.
"It was the four players right here. They were just like, 'no way are you going to keep rebounding.' Even our second effort, if we didn't get it the first time we were grabbing it, and that was the difference in the game."
