This destination for heros only is located in California, underneath an office building near Los Angeles. It is a place to store captured villains, keep track of recent villain attacks, and a warehouse of supplies for missions and rebuilding. Many of the world's heros gather here to relax, grab a muffin or some coffee, and talk with fellow heros. This is also a place where they discuss battle stratigies against the villains.5/18/2011 #1

Eve led Trinity and Dylan into the office building. She walked over to a hidden sensor and let it scan her. Suddenly, a door opened up in the wall of the building. Eve walked into it, turning around and motioning for the others to come. "Well, Dylan, I know you already know this, but Trinity, this is an elevator that takes you down 1,000 feet to the Hero Center."5/22/2011 . Edited 5/22/2011 #2
"AGH!! And it takes so long! I can't wait. I will meet you down there." Dylan vaporized himslef before slipping through the crack between floor and elevator. In just a moment, he was already in the Hero Center. He waited for Trinity and Eve as he talked to some of the heros working in the building.5/22/2011 #3

Eve rolled her eyes. "You know, I only just met him, but I can already tell he's very impatient. The elevator ride only takes a couple of minutes," Eve stated, grinning.5/22/2011 #4
After Eve and Trinity arrived in the lobby, Dylan said good bye to the other heros and walkd towards them. "Sorry. I really hate elevators. I get really claustrophobic in them. I prefere to use the faster, more efficient way: as a gas. Next time you can try it my way." He grinned, planning something fun in the near future as the continued to walk into the building.5/22/2011 #5
Trinity smiled at the thought of actually changing into gas instead of using the elevator it was pretty funny. "Wow this place is huge" Trinity whispered as she looked around . "Well now what?" she asked as she waited for the response of Eve and Dylan.5/23/2011 #6
|Just South of Sanity
"We can talk about our feeeeelings," Eve jokingly said in a nerdy voice. Then, in her actual voice, "Or we can, you know, demonstrate our powers and stuff. Trinity, you haven't seen my power yet, have you?" Without waiting for a response, she turned into a large leopard and looked up at the others, her head cocked slightly.5/23/2011 #7
Trinity laughed at how Eve made a joke. Then Trinity gasped at how Eve could shift into an leopard."Wow! Can you shift into humans too?"she asked as she stared in awe and surprise at how Eve was a shifter.5/25/2011 #8
|Just South of Sanity
Eve turned back into her human form. "Sometimes," she replied to Trinity, "when I concentrate really hard." With that, she closed her eyes and focused. After about 10 seconds, she shifted into Trinity.5/26/2011 #9
Dylan eyed the replica Trinity. "Imposter!" He waved his hands like a magician, twirling his hands before finally motioning to Eve. She melted into a large puddle. Dyaln laughed uncontrolably at Eve on the floor. He was about to splash in the large puddle when he noticed Trinity's horrified expression. "Relax." He looked at the puddle, snapped his fingers in a showy motion. He began to form another muffin as the puddle transformed into the Trinity clone once again. He bit into his muffin, smiling, awaiting the reaction of the puddle.5/26/2011 #10
|Just South of Sanity
Eve blinked, then glared at Dylan. "What was that for?" she demanded, knocking his muffin to the floor and hitting him across the face.5/27/2011 #11
Dylan rubbed him face were she slapped it as he stared at the muffin on the floor. "Why would u do this?" He said as he nelt down by the muffin. "NOO!!" He stood up and looked at Eve, creating a third muffin in his hand. He bit into it, happy to finally get his muffin. He realized Eve was waiting for a responce. "Oh. Right. Well you both were showing off your powers, so I wanted to show you mine." He shrugged, making another muffin and offering it to Eve.5/27/2011 #12

Eve closed her eyes and took a deep breath, clenching and unclenching her fists. She opened her eyes. "I am deeply sorry for the loss of your muffin," she said, bowing her head and wiping away a fake tear. "He was a good muffin; he never hurt anybody. He will be dearly missed by all." Eve raised her head sheepishly, a little embarrassed by her angry breakdown. She took the muffin Dylan offered her and bit into it. "Thanks."5/31/2011 . Edited by Melf, 8/26/2011 #14
Dylan smiled. "He will be remebered." He laughed and finished his muffin.6/1/2011 . Edited by Melf, 8/26/2011 #15
|Just South of Sanity
Eve smiled. "So, uh, I guess we should get down to business. Trinity, maybe we can ask if you can join Dylan and me as a team."6/2/2011 #16
Dylan chuckled as Eve tried to get serious after being a puddle for a short period of time. "Oh, they already know. While you two were wasting time on the elevator, I was talking to one of the administrators. They were looking for someone to put Trinity with anyway." Done with his muffin, he allowed it to disintergrate out of his hand and back into the air. "Would you like to try being disintergrated? Its much more fun than a liquid." He smiled, genuinely hoping either of them would say yes.6/3/2011 #17
A whistle faintly stirred through the room. Then, suddenly, the whistling sound took the form of a boy.
"'Ello!" The Whistler greeted. "'Ow're you?" He spoke with the accent of one who taught himself to speak.6/5/2011 #18
Dylan jumpedd back at the suddenly appearing boy. He was a little puzzled because normally he would feel a person that was near him. It bothered that a little boy scared him. "Hello. Who are you?"6/6/2011 #19
Dylan jumpedd back at the suddenly appearing boy. He was a little puzzled because normally he would feel a person that was near him. It bothered that a little boy scared him. "Hello. Who are you?"
"Now tha's the ques'on, innit?" The Whistler grinned. "I'm th' Whistler, tha's what they call me!" He whistled, the sound pure and fine. He gave a wry smile. "Who's you?"6/6/2011 #20
Dylan was a little wary of the boy. The way he spoke bothered him and he wondered idely why he choose to talk like that. "My name is Dylan. My hero name is the Magician. What is you real name? And are you a hero or a villain?"6/6/2011 #21
|Just South of Sanity
Eve, after recovering from her initial suprise at the boy appearing out of nowhere, realized she should introduce herself. "I'm... the Shifter." She was about to say her real name, but thought better of it. She was not completely sure she could trust the boy, at least not until she knew for sure he was a hero.6/7/2011 #22
The Whistler felt throughly offended. "'m a 'ero, o' course! An' 'm 'here to 'elp you defeat those baddy guys!" He whistled again, and a longsword appeared in his hand. He stood with it in a way that gave the impression he knew how to use it--well. The sword's blade was crystal, and it was wicked sharp.6/8/2011 . Edited 6/8/2011 #23
Dylan stared at the boy for he had never seen anyone besides himself create things out of thin air. He did kinda like the new kid, despite he could barely understand him."Excellent. I have been dying to disintegrate something for like five minutes!" He stepped closer to the boy and blew on the sword as if it were a bowl of hot soup. The crystal turned to a puff of smoke. He snapped his fingers and a corn dog formed where the sword was. He smiled just as big as he had when Eve was a puddle.6/9/2011 #24
He stepped closer to the boy and blew on the sword as if it were a bowl of hot soup. The crystal turned to a puff of smoke. He snapped his fingers and a corn dog formed where the sword was.
When the man disintergrated his sword, the Whistler instinctively gave another whistle, but this one was similar to the shrill blast of a gym coach. The sound hardened and slammed into the man, sending him flying into the wall. The Whistler advanced on him, the corn dog turning back into the sword as he came closer. "Ya think tha's funny, huh?" he snarled.6/9/2011 . Edited 6/9/2011 #25
|Just South of Sanity
Eve quickly leaped in between the two boys. "Stop it!" she yelled, snarling. "Next person to do something to the other better be ready to be torn apart limb by limb by a grizzly bear." She glared first at Dylan, then at the Whistler, letting them know she meant it and daring them to challenge her.6/9/2011 . Edited 6/9/2011 #26
Dylan was furious. He commpletely ignored Eve. He knew if she did change into a grizzly, he would melt her again. He stood up against the wall, he was no longer playing with the little boy. "I think it IS funny." He stepped closer. Dylan stared at the Whistler's sword, creating a jet black cutlass to go with it. "Are you sure you want to do this, boy? You can walk away unharmed now if you wish?" He said it with a sneer, hoping for the fun of a fight.

Eve changed one of her hands into a huge grizzly paw, complete with razor sharp claws. "Don't test me Dylan," she said, her voice dangerously calm and quiet. "We are all heroes. We are supposed to be on the same team, helping each other, not fighting!"6/9/2011 . Edited 6/9/2011 #28

((Maybe he somehow detects high magic levels concentrated in one spot? Or hears us somehow?))6/10/2011 #29
Dylan was fustrated, he wanted to fight this problematic newcomer. He annoyed him. Honestly, he wasn't sure he wanted to fight along side him. But then he realized that what Eve said was true and that may people now depended on their teamwork. He continued to stare at the Whistler, still clenching his cutlass.

Do you have a reference to the part of WSS that you're concerned > about? If you read Section 5 of the WSS spec it's not unreasonable to assume that everything related to message security belong inside WSS. It is clearly open to interpretation, which is why I asked Gudge for his opinion. More explicitly, the WS-I basic security profile says (R3207 in section 9.1.2), that all xenc:EncryptedKeys must be a child of the WSS header. So if a server wants to "statelessly" encrypt a refP so that it can decrypt it later, if has to put some information into the WSS header. I.e., encrypted refP's imply tight coupling to WSS. > Expanding on my earlier post, to statelessly secure a refP against > modification, one could: > - insert within the refP itself the security measures such as > a DSig that enable the service to verify that the refP hasn't > been changed since issued, or > - insert a second refP containing security measures and pointing to > the header (or headers) to be secured. In previous email I've tried to show that it's not as simple as that, and requires some pretty close coupling between the WSS, WS-Addr, and client or server application layers. I can dig up links to those messages if necessary. But my overall comment is that making sure that the server gets back unmodified refP's isn't enough. You have to make sure that the client doesn't get fooled into sending things it shouldn't (adversary modifies the EPR before client gets it), and that the server gets only, and exactly, the refP's that it should. > This is similar to statelessly securing HTTP cookies. The cookie > transfer mechanism is defined in a general spec but how cookies ensure > clients don't modify their contents is out-of-scope. Just as you don't > use TLS to prevent clients from altering cookies you don't use WSS to > prevent clients from altering headers. I don't think the analogy is accurate. A server concerned about interception and modification of cookies can just send base64 blob of data that, when it gets it back and decrypts it, can include a digest. For refP's, the goal is that the headers *not* be a binary blob, in order to leverage the SOAP header processing model. If you want to do the equivalent of an encrypted cookie, then WSS WS-I say to use XML Encryption and WSS, no? There's another problem, if the refP includes headers that are targeted *to intermediaries,* then securing them requires their own signature, and they cna't be bundled into the signature that covers the refP's intended for the ultimate recipient. I don't think this is at all out of scope. We must at least document the security considerations. > ID attribute collisions seem indeed to be a problem, regardless of > whether refPs are wrapped or not - this is a general problem when > combining chunks of XML. We should look at this more closely, but on a > practical level I might try to make sure any ID values I stuck in my > refPs were unlikely to cause conflicts, e.g. something like an embedded > GUID value xml:id="guid-1234-1234-1234-12345678". Yes.

Sands of Kokorin and Mamaev, "God will judge them"
The scandal involving players of the national team of Russia Alexander Kokorin and Pavel Mamaev, which, according to the media, drunk in a nightclub Monte Carlo 250 thousand euros, is gaining momentum. About what happened now even the President knows.
photo: Natalia Gubernatorova
Recall, life reported that Paul and Mamaev, Aleksandr Kokorin expensive walked in one of the most famous and expensive Nightclubs in Monte Carlo Twiga, spending on premium champagne, 250 thousand euros. At the same time, the club owner Flavio Briatore told the WG that Kokorin and Mamaev never organized a party at his place and never drank champagne, and "come dine with wives", only at the end of a fan enjoying a hookah. Kokorin also said that the bills were not paid they Mamaev.
Read the materials of: Expert on Mamaev and Kokorin: simply substituted their colleagues
Kokorin: the Champagne was, but the bills didn't get paid we
However, the Network behavior of players who are unable to bring the national team of Russia in the play-offs for Euro 2016, has caused a lot of indignation. Internet users have neprimenuli to remember players for their failure and to compare the team with the salaries of players.
But the press Secretary of the President Dmitry Peskov said that footballers wages should not be discussed in the Kremlin, "especially at the level of head of state."
At the same time, said the official representative of the Kremlin, need to figure out what was paid for "the buck", the reports of which reached even to the President.
According to Peskov, you need to decide whether it was "conceited mess, paid our players or somebody else".
"Here, you know, are unsubstantiated and so easy to throw stones very easy," commented Pressac President.
In this case, the punishment to players for similar Sands said nothing, adding only: "God will judge them".
Note that after this scandal Kokorin was sent to "Zenit-2", mother — in youth team of his club, and both fined.Related posts:

I spend most of my time in the drops, even climbing, thanks to the traditional-bend handlebars and riser stem. Flipping that over seems like a good idea, though it'll take some extra effort, because I'll have to loosen the shifters to get off the faceplate. It's a 4-bolt stem, surprisingly enough, and it looks like it weighs a ton. Flipping it over might make it a sort of ridiculous drop. I THINK I have a 110mm stem in regular old diameter, and a 1" shim, hiding around here somewhere.
Most of the time has also been in the 42 x 18 gear; I'm comfortable there because that's how my fixie is set up. Plenty of times, as I'm about to go down a slight hill, I'd upshift on my normal road bike, but I don't on the Varsity, because it'd take too much time to make things shift properly. Twice already today I've fouled a shift, making things bang and jam before the bike finally found a gear. Of course, both of those times I was going uphill, out of the saddle. Apparently, shifting at that time is Not Supposed to be Done then. My fancy SRAM-equipped race bike, what with 1-gear jumps, shift ramps, pins, even "open-glide" missing teeth, is too forgiving.
Right now, I'm going up McMurray in Tacoma, another of the plethora of 500-foot-gain climbs I can find, and at the steepest bit I shift down to 42 x 24. Back off a bit, click, then hit the gas again -- okay, that worked. I think. I get back out of the saddle and reflexively cringe, but there's no sudden jump of gears. Okay, then. I crest the hill, cruise through the little neighborhood, and then swing back down the descent to the harbor. Heading down, the Varsity feels a whole lot slower than my race bike, but I'm really not sure if it's the resistance, or the feedback. Steering is slow and predictable; the 25mm tires are cushier than race rubber.
This is the first time I've had the chance to really descend with the Varsity, since my first ride was pretty wet. The brakes aren't spectacular, but in the dry they're okay. I think with some better pads and holders they would be as okay as on most entry-level bikes. I am going to try and dig out my backup mount for my Garmin Edge, as well, since this is one of the only places where average speed might be interesting.
Other notes:
* The saddle that the bike came with is surprisingly not so uncomfortable, though it's heavily padded. From what I can tell, I'm not the most discerning rider in this area, though. One concern I'd have about it's long-term viability is that it's got a bunch of simple foam padding. That'd probably break down pretty quickly, and then things would be bad. Fortunately, saddles are cheap. Or, at least CAN be, holy crap, $240? Anyway, this one feels all cushy and comfy for the first few miles, but doesn't lend itself to performance-style riding. I'm replacing it tonight with a more normal road saddle, for my anatomy's sake.
* Nuts and Bolts and Screws: the bike is full of them. Regular nuts bolts, the kind that take a box wrench, and phillips-head screws. I don't think most actual modern road bikes have anything on them that isn't allen key, except for derailleur limit screws and the like.
* Finally, I just checked out the stem closer, and two things stood out: it is 1 1/8", and it is steel. Tonight I am going to replace it with a zero-rise stem, change out the saddle, and make the bars make a little more sense. Next thing to try is tires.
Ride time: 1:25
Miles : 23
Total miles : 43

Congrats are in order for Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade and actress Gabrielle Union.
The two tied the knot over the weekend in Miami, joining a long list of celebrity unions this year.
It wasn't too long ago when Wade popped the big question and it was only a few weeks ago when the couple sent out creative save-the-date wedding invitations that were made using footage from that surprise moment.
Per usual in celebrity weddings, guests were asked to leave their phones at the gate, but we did find a very happy picture of the newly weds roaming around. Click through the gallery to check it out along with a few others who got married this year.

I was one of 19 media types from Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Louisville, and of course, Vevay. I made the journey down with my family, and met my fellow stompers, like Paul Poteet of WRTV Channel 6 (Indianapolis), Renaissance woman Julie Tam of WDRB Fox 41 (Louisville), and Jen Dalton and Tara Pachmayer of WKRC Channel 12 (Cincinnati), and other notable media types from Indy, Cincinnati, and Louisville. Other celebs included Arik Hartvig from PBS' Across Indiana, Taylor Bennett, and Joe Ulery from WIBC/Network Indiana, and Andy Ferguson from Vevay's own Froggy Radio.
The stomp was for charity, and each member was stomping for the charity of their choice. Ulery ended up winning the entire thing with 10 1/3 cups of stomped juice, and bringing home $1,000 for the Madison County Humane Society. Elizabeth Musgrave, columnist for the West Side Community News (Indianapolis) won $500 for Freedom Cookies and Proctor Park, and Paul Poteet finished third, winning $250 for the Wheeler Mission. I finished 13th.
All in all, I was pleased with our state's performance, because while I like my new friends from Louisville and Cincinnati, we needed an Indiana win. "This is an Indiana town, in an Indiana county, honoring an Indiana industry," I told Paul a couple weeks ago. Indiana is home to the country's first commercial winemakers — so suck it, California! —— which is why a Hoosier win was so important
Controversy Overshadows Some StompersHowever, this stomp was not without its share of controversy. Put it down to celebrity ego, put it down to an overdeveloped sense of competition, put it down to the fact that I needed material for my blog, but a few stompers in the early rounds noticed that stompers in the later rounds had an extra advantage because all the juice created by the early stompers didn't make it into the jugs. That is, we created extra juice that remained in our vats, so it was no problem for the later stompers to just shove it in with their feet, thus standing on the shoulders of those who came before them.
A quick calculation of the average output of juice per round shows an marked increase from earlier rounds to later rounds. Round 4 was Elizabeth Musgrave's round, while round 5 was Ulery's. Paul Poteet had my vat in round 2, and was able to stomp, squish, and splash his way to third place (coincidence? I think not).
As a result of my experiences and research, I have learned two very important things:
- I have too much time on my hands.
- I am a sore loser.

Sideshow has notified customers who have placed pre-orders for the new Sixth Scale Boba Fett that credit cards will be charged and orders shipped beginning this Friday, June 29th.
It's the Rodian Jedi from Target! This cool figure reuses Luke parts in a fun way that results in a big-headed alien with a laser sword. You'll want this one. Read on!
The D-Tech Me Carbon Freeze Me figures are starting to arrive for those fortunate enough to travel to Disney Star Wars Weekends in Orlando, Florida the past few weeks. Galactic reader Frank sends in his photos which include front and back scans of the package along with a short report.
If you collected the Jedi High Council sets, you'll end up with some figures like Anakin Skywalker that, by now, you may own 5 times over. He's just a little different and has no accessories. Should you care? Read on!
Sideshow has opened up the pre-order for their hihly anticipated Premium Format Figures C-3PO and R2-D2 EXCLUSIVE set. The Sideshow exclusive set includes a "clean" paint app and Yavin themed base while the regular version comes in a Tatooine base.
For Star Wars fans the countdown to Star Wars Celebration VI (and the Star Wars Action News/Yakface party the evening of the 23rd) is in the final stages, as less than two months from now the largest gathering of Star Wars fans will happen once again in Orlando. But for the presenters and collectible manufacturers, before they can focus on Celebration there is San Diego Comic-Con, the world's largest Sci-Fi and Comics convention. This past week has been rife with exclusive announcements and preorders from companies like Kotobukiya, Gentle Giant, Sideshow, and Hallmark, and on this week's Star Wars Action News podcast Marjorie and Arnie run down all that news as well as the first bit of Celebration VI exclusive news to come from Yodasnews.com.
Mimoco, makers of the MIMOBOT® line of designer USB flash drives and MIMOMICRO™ card readers, is announcing the release of Star Wars MIMOBOT Series 8 featuring iconic characters from Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. The eighth series in the Star Wars MIMOBOT collection includes Jabba the Hutt, Slave Leia, Jedi Luke, Admiral Ackbar, and Biker Scout - a joint 2012 San Diego Comic-Con and Star Wars Celebration VI exclusive - all sporting classic stylized MIMOBOT designs.
The brave,noble, chin pondering Jedi Knight gets an update in 2012 that is an overall improvement in terms of sculpt, but loses some articulation in the process. Hasbro must not have been entirely happy with the version from 2011 and decided to issue a new, sterner looking, head sculpt a year later. Obi-Wan even comes with a climbing pack for some play value.
There are figures you must own in your collection, but Passel Argente is not one of them. It's a perfectly good figure with limited articulation, but it's not like he was a major character. Is greenie worth it? Read on!
This is not your ordinary child's play! Travel Channel reveals the big business of buying and selling toys and collectibles in the new original series "Toy Hunter," premiering with a special one-hour season opener featuring back-to-back episodes on Wednesday, August 15 at 10:00 p.m., ET/PT (regular time slot at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT beginning Wednesday, August 22).
Most have figured out the secret last week, but Sideshow has completed the "puzzle" for their Comic-Con exclusive Sixth Scale Commander Fox. Fox will be available for order through Sideshow on July 2nd while the Sixth Scale Bith Band exclusive on July 4th.
Let's talk Naboo Fighters and Vintage. Is it time to worry? And how about those Droid Factory figures. Have you written a letter to Disney yet? And what about the new Toys R Us exclusives, are those any good to talk about? I think so. Read on, and ask your questions for next week's column!
We typically like our variants with some point of interest or backstory to them, and while the red bandana Kithaba isn't by any stretch of the imagination a vinyl caped Jawa, the fact that Hasbro changed up to better match the actual character and vintage version is interestingly cool.
From our sponsors at Brian's Toys: This week's Brian's Toys newsletter features a variety of rare Star Wars collectibles. The highlight of the week is three LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series sets that include the Imperial Star Destroyer #10030, X-Wing Fighter #7191, and the TIE Interceptor #7181. The ultimate series are larger and more detailed than the traditional LEGO sets, which makes them a highly sought-after collector item.
Here's a neat one. Check out the Tartakovsky Clone Trooper, part of a once-rare boxed set which is now a dirt-cheap boxed set. It's disgusting how awesome this figure is for the price. Read on!

Kip walked in the living room, hand in hand with Lafawnduh.
He saw Napoleon and Uncle Rico sitting on their beloved fuzzy orange couch.
"How was your guy's honeymoon?'' Napoleon asked in his breathy tone of voice.
''It was awesome Napoleon, your just jealous you couldn't be there and see
Lafawnduh's sandy blonde hair flowing in the wind.'' Kip said in his nerdy voice.
''Why would I be jealous of you?'' Napoleon said angrily.
''Hey guys, let Lafawnduh talk.'' Rico interrupted.
''Fine!'' Napoleon and Kip said simultaneously, they rolled their eyes looking at each other with a weird expression on their face.
''So, how was your honeymoon Lafawnduh?'' Rico asked with a curious look on his face.
''It was fantastic, we had a great time, and Kip is so romantic.'' Lafawnduh said winking at Kip.
''That's awesome Lafawnduh, no need to know that about Kip though.'' Rico answered back.
''Napoleon, come feed Tina the tater tot casserole leftovers.'' Napoleon's Grandma called from the kitchen.
''Ah Grandma, I don't want to feed Tina!'' Napoleon said in an aggravated expression.
''Napoleon, go and feed Tina now!'' She said exasperatedly.
'You know how she gets when she is not fed right away.''
''Gosh Grandma, I know how she gets!'' He told her in a very frustrated matter as she looked at him with a deadly glare.
''Alright, I'll feed her!'' Napoleon said to get his Grandma to stop talking to him.
''Thank you Napoleon, and don't eat the tater tots off my casserole!'' His Grandma assumed.
"Grandma, don't treat me like a freaking idiot!'' Napoleon responded, staring at the tater tots with a yearning passion.
Napoleon sauntered out of the door with the tater tot casserole in his hands, and stood at least a car-length away from the repulsive (at least to him) creature before him.
''Tina you lazy turd, come get your food!'' Napoleon said grabbing one tater tot off the casserole and popped into his mouth. Napoleon then flung the leftovers towards Tina, and attempted to eat it the tiny bits and pieces off the ground.
Napoleon went back into the house to find Kip and his grandma having a slight disposition.
''Kip, did you and Lafawnduh found a place to live at?'' His Grandma asked with interest.
"Because I don't want you living here in your thirties!'' She complained.
''No Grandma, you're embarrassing me in front of Lafawnduh!'' Kip said weakly.
Lafawnduh giggled under her breath.
"We will look for a home, right sweetie?'' A motivated Lafawnduh asked Kip kindly.
''Yes babe, let's go right now!'' Kip said with a nod of determination.
''Good luck in finding a home!'' His Grandma yelled after them as they began to walk towards the door.
''Thanks Grandma, and bye you guys.'' Kip said.
''Come on flower chunks.'' Kip said to Lafawnduh.
''Okay Kip.'' Lafawnduh said following strutting closely behind Kip.
''Bye.'' Everyone simply said at the same time.
Lafawnduh and Kip left in search of their own home where they could be together alone at last.

A hoodlum crashes a pool party that not-so-bright Cameron throws in spite of the recent bloody death of one of his friends.
Just because someone wears a hoodie does not make them a hoodlum.
When they came out into the street the hoodlum crowd had dispersed.
One hoodlum left the ranks and started off toward the barracks-room.
He knew he was a hoodlum; the trolley conductors had told him that.
The hoodlum element was there, of course, but it was not the leading element.
He had been a hoodlum there, and had helped to hang Chinese.
The hoodlum crowd nudged one another, blinked, winked, and looked as if expecting developments of some fun.
The hoodlum gang had suddenly appeared from the alleyway, and forming a circle, surrounded them.
The hoodlum made a great ado of posing and exercising his fists in a scientific way.
popularized 1871, American English, (identified throughout the 1870s as "a California word") "young street rowdy, loafer," especially one involved in violence against Chinese immigrants, "young criminal, gangster;" it appears to have been in use locally from a slightly earlier date and may have begun as a specific name of a gang:
The police have recently been investigating the proceedings of a gang of thieving boys who denominate themselves and are known to the world as the Hoodlum Gang. [San Francisco "Golden Era" newspaper, Feb. 16, 1868, p.4]Of unknown origin, though newspapers of the day printed myriad fanciful stories concocted to account for it. A guess perhaps better than average is that it is from German dialectal (Bavarian) Huddellump "ragamuffin" [Barnhart].
What the derivation of the word "hoodlum" is we could never satisfactorily ascertain, though several derivations have been proposed; and it would appear that the word has not been very many years in use. But, however obscure the word may be, there is nothing mysterious about the thing; .... [Walter M. Fisher, "The Californians," London, 1876]
A petty criminal; a street tough
[1868+; origin unknown, although many suggestions have been made; the term appears to have originated in San Francisco]

|Message from the President
Dear CDU Students, Alumni, Faculty, and Staff:
Dr. David M. Carlisle
In the wake of the tragedies in Oklahoma, (CDU) is galvanizing to assist in relief efforts for individuals and families that have lost their homes and are in immediate need of food, clothing, and most importantly, the human assurance that they are not alone. To address those needs, CDU is taking the lead in a newly created project inspired by Laurell L. Black (a member of the staff in the College of Science and Health) called, "Operation: Giving." We would like to encourage you, between now and July 9th, to join our efforts by donating to this worthwhile cause. To date, we have raised over $800.00.
Click the link below for more information and to give today. #CDUGive
On Friday June 14th we hosted the 8th Annual Drug Addiction Research Symposium. Presentations were made that illustrated how drug addiction is a disease that can be triggered by exposure to illicit substances in adolescent years. Nicotine, alcohol, prescription drugs, and street drugs were all named as substances that people with the disease of addiction, tend to abuse. The studies that were presented also went in depth about how the brain's receptors react to the substance, and how both cognitive and medicinal treatments are necessary to treat addicts. NIDA is making strides in having counselors present to educate patients that are seen in Emergency Rooms f or drug-related circumstances, to prevent reoccurrence.
We hosted 171 attendees, including attendees from UCLA, El Paso, TX, and UC San Bernardino through WebEx and Teleconferencing.

College Bound Prep Alumni Day
On Tuesday, June 18, the College of Science and Health welcomed back students who had previously participated in the University's College Bound Prep program. College Bound Prep Alumni Day provided students with sessions on financial aid, choosing the right college, and a keynote address by Charles R. Drew faculty member, Dr. Christopher Reid.
College Bound Prep alumni also attended a presentation by COPE Health Solutions, providing students with opportunities to gain valuable clinical experience while in college. All participating students received a certificate of appreciation recognizing their efforts.
Students were reminded by Dr. Reid that, "a plan is simply a dream with a schedule", and that with adequate planning, those dreams will be achieved.
Special thanks to all who participated.
CDU conferred degrees and certificates upon its largest class ever, 303 graduates, at the University's 29th Commencement ceremony. Graduates from every CDU program were honored with pomp and circumstance in one University-wide ceremony, including 17 graduates from the College of Medicine, 221 from the School of Nursing and 65 from the College of Medicine and Science.
The commencement theme chosen by members of the graduating class was a reflection on Ralph Waldo Emerson's "What lies behind us, and what lies before us, are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
"Your lifelong commitment to the health care field is empowering individuals to make healthier decisions and live longer, happier lives," said Dr. David M. Carlisle, President of CDU. "Each one of your stories will forever be woven into the legacy of Charles R. Drew University's living history as you venture into the community with compassion and excellence.
Keynote Speaker Diana Bontá, R.N., Dr. P.H., President and CEO, The California Wellness Foundation highlighted the important role CDU graduates will play in today's healthcare workforce. Dr. Bonta' encouraged graduates that they need to be healthy themselves in order to provide adequate healthcare. She also stated that happiness in the workplace greatly contributes to one's attitude towards their job, so during their interview processes, they should be screening their employers just as closely as they as candidates are being screened
Nola Carter, one of the founding members of CDU, received The President's Medal for her extraordinary and unique service to CDU. She was a leading community advocate for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Hospital, and thusly the University, and avidly supported health care access for South Los Angeles. Ms. Carter is 94 years old, and still supports the University and is an active member of the community block organization.
In addition, the Board of Trustees Medal of Honor was given to Mr. and Mrs. Joe and Emma Adams. Mr. Adams was the first African American DJ to host a prime-time show in Los Angeles. For more than 4 decades, he managed the career of Ray Charles. Mr. Adams was at the helm of the Ray Charles Corporation until his retirement and now serves as Chairman of the Board of The Ray Charles Foundation.
Active philanthropists and great believers in the power of education to transform the lives of youth, the Adams' wanted to give back to the community where they were raised. The Medal of Honor is the highest honor from the board of trustees bestowed to the recipient who best exemplifies the spirit of CDU's mission, to serve the underserved with excellence and compassion.
Honorary degrees were bestowed upon both: Dr. David E. Hayes-Bautista, Professor of Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA and Director of the Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture; and Cynthia C. Davis, MPH, Director of the HIV Mobile Outreach Project and Assistant Professor of Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science.
As part of National HIV Testing Day, Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science (CDU) will be hosting several events during the week of June 24-30, 2013. CDU, working in collaboration with Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, will offer free HIV rapid testing at several locations around the South Los Angeles area. With an oral swab or finger stick, individuals can know their HIV status, and if HIV positive, they can be immediately referred to local HIV/AIDS treatment clinics. Gift cards will be given to those who stop by to take an HIV rapid test.
According to the CDC, it is estimated that 1.2 million Americans are living with HIV infection and 1 of every 5 of these Americans do not know that they are HIV infected. By race, African Americans are more severely affected by HIV. In Los Angeles County, with 10 million residents, the local health department estimates that there are 62,800 people living with HIV/AIDS and of these, 13,500 are HIV positive and do not know their status.
The National Association of People Living with AIDS initiated the first National HIV Testing Day in 1995 in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local HIV/AIDS service providers across the country. Now in its 18th year, CDU and other HIV/AIDS service providers throughout Los Angeles County will be honoring the day by offering free HIV rapid testing.
Remaining HIV Testing locations and times:

Three Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science (CDU) students were selected for the prestigious Albert Schweitzer Fellowship (ASP). They are among 20 graduate-level students chosen for the 2013-2014 class of Los Angeles Schweitzer Fellows who will spend a year learning to effectively address the social factors that impact health and developing lifelong leadership skills in the name of famed physician and humanitarian, Albert Schweitzer. The three are among nine students awarded the fellowship in the past.
Lyndsey Bradley and Hannah Kim are students of the College of Medicine, Class of 2016. Both Kim and Bradley are helping students understand the social determinants of health and connecting them to resources that will address these issues with HealthBegins.
Sonia Morales is a Class of 2014 student in the College of Medicine.
Sonia Morales is bringing a Photonovela and a one-on-one education intervention program to families of pediatric cancer survivors in the community setting with PADRES Contra El Cancer.
Morales said, "This is so exciting, and the timing of the Schweitzer fellowship for me is perfect. Having the opportunity to bring resources to communities that otherwise lack them, hits close to home for me personally."
After completing their project, these students will become Schweitzer Fellows for Life, a network of 2,500 individuals dedicated to addressing health disparities.
Hannah Kim said, "I am so grateful to have this opportunity to work with HealthBegins."
Established in 1992, the mission of The Albert Schweitzer Fellowship is to develop individuals who are dedicated and skilled in addressing the health needs of underserved communities, and whose example influences and inspires others.
The Los Angeles Schweitzer Fellows program, founded in 2007, is a collaboration between Kaiser Permanente; Los Angeles Physicians for Social Responsibility; Community Clinic Association of Los Angeles County; University of Southern California; and University of California, Los Angeles. Kaiser Permanente of Southern California provides funding.

What happens to a dream deferred?
Langston Hughes
"These funds will reinforce CDU's commitment to serve talented students who may not otherwise be able to afford tuition and many of whom are the first in their families to go to college," Drew President David M. Carlisle said in a statement.
Joe Adams grew up in Watts, near the Willowbrook area of South Los Angeles where Drew University is located.
"I wanted to give back to the neighborhood where I grew up, gained experience and met the many challenges in my life," said Adams, 89.
In the 1940s, Adams was the first African American to host a prime-time radio show in Los Angeles. He hosted television programs and also worked as a film actor. In the late 1950s, a friend from his radio days, Ray Charles, asked him to join a tour and Adams went on to serve as the singer's business manager until Charles' death in 2004.
He headed the Ray Charles Corp. until his 2008 retirement and is chairman of the board of the Ray Charles Foundation.
Joe and Emma Adams are philanthropists who have also made gifts to Morehouse College and Spelman College in Atlanta. The couple were given the Board of Trustees Medal of Honor during Drew University's commencement ceremony on June 1st.
"Funding scholarships at [Drew] is funding the well-being of South Los Angeles and that is a worthy investment," Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas said of the Adams' gift.

NFL results and news, Aug. 7
Updated 11:42 pm, Thursday, August 7, 2014
February's Super Bowl teams slogged through a preseason rematch delayed by lightning and a flurry of flags Thursday night before linebacker Steven Jackson's end-zone interception of Terrelle Pryor's pass sealed the host Denver Broncos' 21-16 win over the Seattle Seahawks.
Both starting offenses put together long touchdown drives that ate up more than 9 minutes and were kept alive by a wave of yellow flags. In between, play was delayed 46 minutes because of lightning in the vicinity.
Altogether, there were 25 accepted penalties, 13 on Seattle and a dozen on Denver.
-- In other exhibitions, Tom Brady took the night off, and Robert Griffin III played one series as host Washington beat the New England Patriots 23-6. ... Sean Smith and Malcolm Bronson returned interceptions for touchdowns, De'Anthony Thomas brought back a punt 80 yards for another score and host Kansas City beat Cincinnati 41-39. ... Michael Vick led the host New York Jets on a touchdown drive, capped by fellow newcomer Chris Johnson's 1-yard scoring run, in a 13-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. ... San Diego's new backup quarterback, Kellen Clemens, threw a 70-yard touchdown pass to Dontrelle Inman in the third quarter to help the host Chargers beat Dallas 27-7.
New bidder for Bills: Former Buffalo Sabres owner Tom Golisano has entered the running to purchase the Buffalo Bills, according to multiple reports. The Buffalo News first reported Golisano's entry.
In the meantime, Bills officials have begun meeting with prospective ownership groups that have already submitted bids.
Two people familiar with the process said real estate mogul Donald Trump received extensive financial details on the franchise while attending a lengthy presentation on Wednesday. Sabres owner Terry Pegula and a Toronto-based group fronted by rocker Jon Bon Jovi are also scheduled to attend presentations.

"I think Tutu is my prince-charming," says Panchi
Panchi says, "Titu saved me from the attack of a bull the first time we met and I got lost in his mysterious eyes.
During the first meeting, music began playing in the background and my knight in shining armour rescued me. It was such a sweet gesture and ever since then I have fallen for him.
Fate has brought Panchi and Titu together several times and she even helped him out. Panchi says, "We are destined to keep running into each other.
First during the report card swapping and then when Titu went to receive the pandit and I went to get my sister's in-laws, due to several misunderstandings we kept meeting. Every time we meet, Titu is so adorable and charming, that I can't help but fall head over heels for him.
Panchi knows that Titu is a bit lazy but also feels that he is so full of life and can make everyone around him laugh. Panchi adds, "I know that Titu keeps getting into trouble due to his actions. But he has a good heart, is a complete charmer and loves to make people smile.
How can I not fall for someone who has all these qualities? I think he is the perfect guy and is my prince-charming."
Panchi is aware that all the village girls in Mathura adore Titu and are trying to get his attention.
She says, "It doesn't matter that all the girls are crazy about Titu, it only shows how sweet he is. And he is not inclined towards any of these girls.
I think my relationship with Titu will grow and I hope that soon he too will reciprocate my feeling

Much to Sean Hannity's dismay, Fox News issued a long-awaited retractionon Tuesday of a story involving slain Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffer Seth Rich pushed heavily by the host. Naturally, Hannity hit back via Twitter, slamming liberal watchdog Media Matters for America for trying to get him fired.
IMPORTANT! Mediamatters is trying to silence me, get me fired, pressure my advertising on radio & TV. Liberal Fascism. I need your help!!
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) May 23, 2017
"In case you haven't been following it, the Seth Rich conspiracy holds that before his death (or, in this version of events, assassination) in July Mr. Rich had been involved in the leaking of Clinton campaign emails to WikiLeaks, which the United States intelligence community has attributed to Russian-sponsored hackers," The New York Times summed up on Wednesday, just before Hannity lost his first advertiser amid fallout.
But Media Matters and others have been debunking Hannity's fake news for years. Here are 5 of his more baseless theories:
1. CIA framed Russia for hacking the DNC
Fox News reported on Russia's hacking the DNC as well as the January 6 Intel report. Yet, less than 48 hours after a Wikileaks dump of the Vault 7 documents (March 7), Hannity began citing Breitbart's reporting of the scoop: "WikiLeaks: CIA Uses 'Stolen' Malware To 'Attribute' Cyberattacks To Nations Like Russia."
The Fox News host was joined on his show by retired 9/11-truther and torture proponent Army Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Schaffer.
"Sean, we did it. Not me, but our guys, former members of NSA, retired intelligence officers used these tools to break in there and get the information out. That's what the Democrats don't want to talk about because it doesn't fit their narrative," Shaffer said.
"You're telling me this whole Russian story that the media has been running with for months and months and months — that it was our people that did it, and they put the fingerprints of the Russians on it?" Hannity asked.
"That's right," Shaffer said, although he then admitted on-air he had no proof.
2. Hillary's Health
As Media Matters noted, Hannity perpetuated the rumor of Hillary Clinton failing heath weeks after it was debunked.
3. Benghazi
"During the attack, a stand-down order was given, and our troops were told to change their clothes four times, and we needed, you know, permission from the Libyans to actually save Americans, and that's what they were discussing," Hannity said, shortly after the GOP's report on the 2012 attack, was released on June 28, 2016.
Politifact rated Hannity's comment mostly false.
4. Obamacare
"Average Americans are feeling the pain of Obamacare and the healthcare overhaul train wreck," Hannity announced in an October 2013 episode. "and six of them are here tonight to tell us their stories."
One week later, Salon reporter Eric Stern had tracked down all six guests, proving their Obamacare misnomers were easily debunked.
5. Voter Fraud
Hannity continues to cite Philadelphia's overwhelming preference for Barack Obama over Mitt Romney in 2012 as proof of voter fraud.
"In 59 separate precincts in inner city Philadelphia, Mitt Romney did not get a single vote! Not one!" he reiterated last August, nearly four years later.
"Maybe I'm being conspiratorial," he added. to which CNN's Brian Stelter. answered, "Yes, Hannity, you are."
Additionally, Fact.check.org has considered this an open-shut case as of January 2013.
"It's not mathematically impossible," Lori Robertson wrote. "The 59 districts are in areas of the city that are mainly African American, as the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. And Obama received 93 percent of the black vote nationwide."

IRVING – Cowboys Pro Bowl wide receiver Miles Austin is expected to miss three to five weeks after suffering his second hamstring injury of the season in Sunday's 23-13 win over Seattle.
Austin left the game after recording a 39-yard reception in the first half. He missed two games after pulling up lame late in regulation in the Cowboys' overtime win at San Francisco in Week 2. A hamstring injury also forced him to miss time during the preseason.
Austin has 28 catches for 403 yards and four TDs, three of which came against the 49ers.
"Yeah, it's unfortunate," Pro Bowl tight end Jason Witten said Monday when asked about Austin being out. "Any time you have a guy like him who can create so much – a simple route can turn into a 50-yard gain for you with him on the field – (it's tough). Even when he's not getting the ball, he demands so much attention that it opens up a lot for other guys. That one hurts, but I think (coach) Jason (Garrett) does a great job…(of creating) competition and bringing in the right guys and (telling them), 'When your opportunity comes, you have to take advantage of it.'
One of those guys is No. 3 wideout Laurent Robinson, who has a TD catch in each of the last two games. With Austin out, Robinson will start opposite Dez Bryant.
"Laurent has done a great job," Witten said. "Every opportunity he's gotten, he just makes plays. I can't speak highly enough … it's hard to come into that situation like he has in the middle of the season, learning the system. All he does is make plays. He's in there for 10-12 plays, he walks away with five or six big catches in the game. I feel confident with him."

Mariana Ramirez Godinez, High School Student Trustee
While serving as a library trustee is no longer the exclusive domain of retirees, or even those in late or midcareer, only the board of the Cornelius Public Library, OR, can boast a chair who is still thinking about her SAT scores. Sixteen-year-old Mariana Ramirez Godinez (pictured), a junior and honor student at Glencoe High School, where she plays violin and sings in Una Voz, the Hillsboro School District's 35-member mariachi band, was unanimously elected chair of the 11-member Cornelius Library Advisory Board in December; she has been a board member since spring 2015, a volunteer for the past three years, and a fan of the library since she moved to Cornelius from Mexico ten years ago.
Mentorship 101 | On the Job
It's easy to find advice on how to mentor a Millennial, but what if you are a Millennial, and you are the mentor? It's bound to start happening. As of 2015, Millennials make up the largest proportion of the workforce. The oldest members of that generation are turning 34 and moving into management positions. Those of us who have moved into management have had help, and we should send the ladder back down.
Andrew Jackson and Mikisha Morris: Moving Forward At the Langston Hughes Library
Later this year Andrew Jackson, executive director of the Langston Hughes Community Library and Cultural Center in Corona, Queens, will be leaving the position he has held since 1980 to write and teach. A Queens native, Jackson grew up in East Elmhurst, receiving a degree in Business Administration from York College at the City University of New York and his MLS from Queens College. Stepping into the role will be Mikisha Morris, who has spent the majority of her career in nonprofit and public education administration in Philadelphia. Morris recently earned her doctorate in Educational Leadership, focusing on the use of cultural arts programs to serve urban communities.
A Great Place to Work: Where challenge and contribution converge | Editorial
Innovation Catalyst Librarian, Wikipedian in Residence, Director of Knowledge Curation and Innovation. These are just three of the job titles emerging in libraries that indicate the dynamism of the field. They point to libraries as a destination for talent seeking a great place to develop a career while making a contribution. Long misunderstood in the popular psyche as a haven of employment for those who just love to read, libraries are complex service organizations with opportunities to get paid to do good work for a lifetime. As they have evolved, so have the particular jobs available, and now is an exceptionally interesting time to think of the library as the place to dedicate the bulk of one's waking hours. Along the way, libraries are looking more and more like the innovative employer every community should have humming at its core.
The Evolution of Library Work | Careers 2016
As this quartet of essays attest, from today's groundbreaking titles to tomorrow's essential skills, what it means to be a working librarian is expanding. This can drive changing job descriptions—sometimes a ticklish process to negotiate with unions but successful if embarked upon with a collaborative attitude. To get those new, improved positions, learn to navigate one of the trickiest aspects of the hunt: the group interview.
Top Skills for Tomorrow's Librarians | Careers 2016
LJ reached out to academic and public library directors and other thought leaders nationwide to find out what new skills they expect to need in librarians in the next 20 years. The 11 listed below emerged as the essentials. Not complete departures, rather they build on trends already in evidence.
Five Brand-New Jobs for Today's Librarians | Careers 2016
Roles for librarians in today's public, academic, and special libraries keep shifting. The changes, however, aren't always about technology, as these five new jobs demonstrate.
A Group Effort | Careers 2016
Most group interviews are really panel sessions—two or more interviewers meet with one candidate at a time. The other, scarier type of group interview is the multicandidate interview. Two or more candidates gather in one room, and hiring managers expect them to make small talk, work in teams, and take turns answering questions.
United We Change | Careers 2016
Writing employee job descriptions is one of the most challenging projects for library managers. Well-written job descriptions attract the right candidates, guide the decisions of those doing the hiring, and help employees understand their responsibilities—factors that are increasing in importance as technology causes significant shifts in roles and expectations for library professionals. Crafting job descriptions in a union environment can add an extra layer of complexity.

For awhile I've felt like my photography was in a rut. I took quite a few classes in high school and have always enjoyed seeing the world through a camera lens. But lately I've felt like I've been taking the same pictures, more or less, over and over. So, I was pretty excited when Shambala Publications offered to send me a review copy of The Practice of Contemplative PhotographyThe Practice of Contemplative Photography. "Perfect!" I thought, "I'll get some ideas for new techniques, a few tips..." But, it turns out it was exactly the opposite.
This is a really beautiful book, the photos of course, are lovely, but the sentiment that the authors express is so exactly what I've been needing to hear. Let me share a quote.
Concepts about pictorial techniques can further constrict [the photographer's] vision. Trying to see the world through the "rule of thirds" to create good composition, shooting very early or very late in the day because the light will be warm, or playing with exposure and color balance to make images look more dramatic... This separates them from the immediacy of their experience.
So, instead of being a book of tips and tricks, the book seeks to help the reader liberate themselves from the things that actually prevent them from really seeing. I suppose I'm drawn to the slowness, the simplicity, the meditative quality of the process. All of that just sounds so appealing right now.This paragraph from the chapter, Art in Everyday Life, really stood out to me.
Ordinary experience is the raw material of our photographic art. Photographer, writer and curator Beaumont Newhall wrote, "We are not interested in the unusual, but in the usual seen unusually." When we separate our artistic activity from daily life, we cut ourselves off from our most valuable resource. We divide the world into the worthwhile and the unimportant; the meaningful and the merely functional. Instead of appreciating what we have we look for something better, something more beautiful, more entertaining... Instead of looking elsewhere for nourishment, we can live artistic, elegant lives, appreciating the details of our ordinary experience.
That sentiment speaks to me on so many levels, not just about creative expression, but about how we live our lives. If you're feeling like you need to shake yourself up creatively, see things in a new way, this is the perfect book. If you just want to feel inspired and renewed, it's perfect for that too. In each chapter there are little "assignments," encouragement to try something new. I plan on working my way slowly through the book, referring back to it when I need a little reminder to really see through that lens.

Calm assurance from defender
York City goalkeeper Michael Ingham believes the welcome return of the long-serving David McGurk into central defence has brought his side increased calmness at the back.
|"Everyone loves him because he's a great lad in the changing room" - Michael Ingham
McGurk is currently halfway through his benefit season after more than eight years of tremendous service to the club since first arriving on loan from Darlington back in September 2004. He made his 300th appearances for them in the weekend defeat to Exeter City.
"TY has been brilliant since coming back into the side after having to play a patient game following his injury," Ingham told The Press. "He's been a great servant to the football club and everyone loves him because he's a great lad in the changing room.
"He reads the game so well and has that knack of being in the right position before the ball arrives there," he added. "He's strong in the air, quite quick for a big man and can clear with both feet."

Studio: Falcon
When two Alphas occupy one room the battle begins for dominance. JP Dubois starts the competition with his piercing eyes and sly smile. He tests the waters with a slow caress down his button down shirt until his hand is resting on his cock tempting his prey. Lance Luciano, drop- gorgeous in black, shows his interest by groping himself back and unbuckling his belt. One-upsmanship leads to both men showing off their big uncut cocks. JP stretches his foreskin so much it's gotta hurt, then steps over the table and plunks him meat squarely in Lance's hand. Their tongues connect next. Fascinated by what JP was doing with his foreskin, Lance aligns their hard ons and docks them, sliding his foreskin over JP's cock, then reversing the process. JP challenges himself to swallow Lance's cock while Lance reaches around to slip a finger into JP's hole. Lance ups the ante by sliding in two, then feeds Lance the juices. The fingers are soon replaced by Lance's cock, and the juices continue to flow. JP is a pro and he twists and turns his cock every which-way as Lance drills him. They separate briefly for Lance to have a taste of JP's foreskin, then reconnect with JP straddling Lance from above, grimacing as he shoots all over his belly, then kneeling with open mouth to drink Lance's load.

Chris Bines and Dallas Evans have been such good little porn models lately that I wanted to give them a treat. So I brought along their very own sex toy to play with. And this sex toy is five foot nine, nicely muscular, decorated with a stunning tattoo that covers his left shoulder and pectoral, and a pair of smoldering brown eyes. His name is Richard Pierce and he was perfect to be the piggy in the middle with these two hotties. It was a little like throwing a hunk of meat to a couple of hungry tigers. That is, if the hunk of meat is begging to get eaten. Richard blows both of these two studs getting them so horny that they are more than ready to thrust their rock hard throbbing cocks into any hole he's got. Then Dallas rims Richard's hot ass, preparing it for his thick piece of manmeat. From then on there isn't a moment where Richard's mouth and hole aren't getting used by one of them. In fact, Dallas and Chris both wanted a crack at that ass so badly that for just a moment they both went in at the same time! That pretty much got everyone so hot that soon Richard was spewing his hot creamy load all over his chest with Dallas still fucking his ass. This caused Dallas to add his own seed to the mix.

Adam was ordered to his knees in the locker room to start swallowing Cutler's huge cock and deep throat the fucker until he was satisfied he did a good job. Cutler just wanted to start barebacking his first hole on film so didn't waste time to bending Adam over and shoving his raw cock in that hole he knew could take it. Adam was moaning so loud it shook the lockers. Cutler showed no mercy and fucked Adam senseless. We had to carry Adam out when it was all over – he couldn't walk off the set!

|Reviews for Migraine
| ravenhusker chapter 2 . 8/10/2014
...Should she tell him off? She was not completely okay with how smug he was about his actions. She had not asked to be looked out for, but she had never asked him to stop either and had at least once thanked him for having her back. She did not, strictly speaking, need someone to look out for her. Nonetheless, knowing he was there was a good feeling...
Nicely done. Enjoyed the fic.
| ravenhusker chapter 1 . 8/10/2014
"Dr."Reese. It's good that you showed that there is more to Reese than just the cold killer assassin that Snow wanted us to believe and accept. Nice, how you showed how he is able to school his emotions here to let himself show that he cared. Normally, he's portrayed as going into stoic mode to close his emotions off, not the reverse. It was important to him that they trusted him. Taylor trusted him enough to leave him with his mother; and she trusted him enough to let him give her that shot of morphine.
Oh my. So, Reese and Finch just happen to have a supply of morphine and syringes at the Library. ;)

Funny how the readers can take over isn't it? I've had a couple of stories I thought were done, but someone makes a good suggestion and you just ahve to run with it. :)
This story is right in line with canon without being too shippy (not that there is anything wrong with that, God knows I'm one of the biggest shippers out there!)
It hit her then that he had not given her a hard time, not pushed her boundaries the night before, and let her be in control of the situation so willingly, because he knew she would not have been able to push back or to fight for control. He was not the kind of person to exploit another's weakness, unless he thought they deserved no better.
Yep, that's our John.

Nice! I usually don't read Carter-Reese ships, but this one seems right in line with canon: Reese has a soft spot for Carter and would certainly do what he could to help her!

67 WALL STREET, New York - July 25, 2012 - The Wall Street Transcript has just published its Wireless Communications & Telecom Report. The full issue is available by calling (212) 952-7433 or via The Wall Street Transcript Online.
Topics covered: 4G Infrastructure Capital Expenditures - Tower Cell Splitting - Global Wireless Spectrum Allocation - Telco Dividend Yields
Companies include: Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ), Nokia Corp. (NOK), Alcatel-Lucent (ALU), Vodafone Group plc (VOD), TIM Participacoes SA (TSU), Apple Inc. (AAPL) and many others.
In the following interview from the Wireless Communications & Telecom Report, Robin Bienenstock of Sanford C. Bernstein & Company discusses her outlook for the sector:
The other thing that you've seen in Europe is that you have this so called "Spanish experiment" going on, which is the Telefonica and Vodafone have removed handset subsidies on new customers, basically trying to see whether they can get out of the business, to stop subsidizing handsets. And in the Spanish market, they're clearly doing something. The other reason they're doing this is because there is increasing anxiety that they are falling behind in terms of LTE because they haven't been investing.
The other reason that I think you're going to see a lot more in the way of network-sharing deals is so that they can accelerate LTE, and hopefully get the same kind of revenue growth, because if you look around Europe, the only place that has had the highest GDP plus revenue growth has been Sweden. And Sweden had a network-sharing deal between Telenor (TEL.OL) and Tele2 (TEL2-A.ST). So notwithstanding those four different players, those two players actively consolidated their infrastructure, and the result was a much faster reward of LTE. They've had LTE in Sweden for a year-plus, and very, very significant revenue growth as a result.
One last thing that is changing is Deutsche Telekom's current plan for its U.S. business, which should come out in the first quarter, is to launch a new subsidy model for T-Mobile in the U.S. with a lot of marketing around their new network. That will be a big change to the U.S. market, is that as of Q4 there will be interoperability between AT&T and T-Mobile USA. As of 2013, there will be interoperability of devices between AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile USA, which means that the U.S. is actually going to start to look - guess what - like Europe, more competitive because you'll be able to take your device with you. You will suddenly have the option of saying, "Well, actually, I don't want a new device." So now it's fundamentally just the level of competition I think in the U.S market.
TWST: Now please tell us about the trends in Latin America.
Ms. Bienenstock: OK. So from a high level, there are some really interesting things about Latin America. The affordability of wireless telephony in Latin America is lower than anywhere else in the world, so we have this chart showing basically the relationship of price per minute versus GDP per capita. And the price coming at in absolute terms is on par or indeed above the price coming at in Europe, and most cases, in Latin America. Obviously, the affordability is amongst the lowest of any place in the world. In a country like Nigeria, what happens is you drop the price and you get this huge spread of growth of new consumers, who have historically not been wireless customers. Suddenly, they're able to afford it.
In Latin America, you've got 100%-plus penetration in most countries. In some cases, it's 130%, 140%, and in some cases, it's 90%. But the point is that penetration is actually pretty high. As of last year, I think it was in March last year, 40% of Brazilians who had telephones could not afford to make outbound phone calls. So that actually becomes a social issue, because the good thing about very high mobile termination rates - mobile termination rates are basically a regulatory way of getting phones into the hands of lots of people immediately - mobile termination rates basically ensure that you can call someone, and you won't incur cost in terms of minutes on the person who receives the call. In the U.S., you pay for calls received and calls made, which makes sense, because economically that's actually how wireless networks work. In Europe, what they did is they said, "OK, what we'll do is instead of charging the consumer to receive a call, because they have no control over that, we will charge only the person who makes the call, and they as a result will have to pay a higher amount. The way we'll settle this between the operators is what we they call mobile termination rates, which is to see that the operators pay each other to settle the cost of receiving the call." Does that make sense?
So in the U.S., basically you pay for inbound and outbound calls, and in Latin America, Europe, pretty much most of the places in the world, you only pay for outbound calls, never for inbound calls. What that does is it gets more wireless phones into more hands more quickly.
So if you look at the penetration curves of countries that have high mobile termination rate, the penetration curve is amazing because I can go and buy a mobile phone for my aunty, granny, whoever, they never have to incur any cost, they don't have to call anybody, but I can call them, and that means that they are actually connected to the world, right? So you get really rapid penetration, and that's why most emerging markets have got that kind of success. So perfect, makes sense.
I do that, but then I have this problem, which is, "OK, now I'm on a vacation and actually calling is way too expensive, and not only you can't afford the quality, but it becomes a social problem. So what do I do? What I would do is I regulate that price, which is the interoperator price that people are allowed to talk to each other at. That means that prices fall, and at first, you get positive elasticity, but in a lot of cases, mobile termination rates can be as much as 40%, 50% of the EBITDA of an operator. This is what's happening in Mexico in a very, very big way.
So you see huge mobile termination rate cuts, which means huge price falls in wireless. That matters to telephony in a larger sense, because as wireless prices fall, people are incredibly rational. What happens and what people are totally rational about across countries with cheaper wireless is that they start to use wireless more than they use wireline. So as wireless pricing falls, you cannibalize your wireline business. That's a really big deal for all of the telephone companies in Latin America, because a lot of them are making 70% of their revenues on the wireline side and from calling. So when wireless prices fall, the wireline businesses get crushed and the profitability of these businesses gets hurt very badly, because they are high fixed cost businesses.
As a result of the very limited wireline infrastructure that you have in a lot of cases throughout Latin America, you are seeing a bigger push toward basically wireless data, wireless broadband solutions for most countries in Latin America. Wireless voice is still going to keep growing, because there is so much elasticity and so much pent-up demand to make phone calls that previously weren't affordable. Wireless data is clearly also going to grow very, very meaningfully, huge appetite to be connected and almost about 30% fixed line coverage of most households in Latin America. The reality is that most Latin Americans are totally really going to connect via wireless networks.
TWST: In Europe and Latin America, who are your favorite names and why?

Edited Gulfstream Park release:
Honor Code, winner of the Grade II Remsen Stakes last November, will bypass the Grade II Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park as originally planned next weekend and instead make his anticipated 3-year-old debut in an 8 ½-furlong allowance event over the Gulfstream Park main track on Wednesday.
Trained by Hall of Famer Shug McGaughey for Lane's End Racing and Dell Ridge Farm, Honor Code drew post four in a field of five and will have regular rider Javier Castellano aboard.
Entries were taken on Friday for the race, which also drew Social Inclusion, We're All Set, Specialnightaction and Ta Bueno. Honor Code will carry topweight of 124 pounds.
Honor Code missed a planned start in the Grade II $400,000 Fountain of Youth on Feb. 22 with bruising in his back ankles. McGaughey moved the son of A.P. Indy from Payson Park in Indiantown to Gulfstream at the end of January to keep a closer eye on his recovery.
Since his arrival Honor Code has breezed four times at Gulfstream, most recently going five furlongs in 59.18 seconds on March 2. Second by a neck to Havana in the Grade I Champagne Stakes in October, Honor Code beat Cairo Prince by a nose in the Remsen at Aqueduct to end his juvenile season.
Cairo Prince was an easy winner of the $400,000 Holy Bull at Gulfstream on Jan. 25 to establish himself a leading contender for the $1 million Florida Derby on March 29.
