1 Section: 3.4 Opening Activity: Latin Root Word: Review of Old Information: Name: 1. In seals, the allele for long whiskers (L) is dominant and the allele for short whiskers (l) is recessive. What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios from a cross of a homozygous dominant and heterozygous seal for the above trait? SHOW ALL WORK!!! Genotypic Ratio: Phenotypic Ratio: 2. In the land of Oompah, red hair (H R H R ) is dominant to blue hair (H B H B ), and the heterozygous condition (H R H B ) produces purple hair. Blue hair is highly valued, in fact, blue haired Oompahs even get special benefits. Oscar Oompah has purple hair but he wants to find a wife that will give him blue haired children. What genotype for hair color should his wife have? What would be his second choice? Use punnet squares to prove your point!!! First Choice: Second Choice: 3. The color green is dominant to the color yellow. If a homozygous green pea plant is crossed with a homozygous yellow pea plant then what would be the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the offspring? Genotypic ratio Phenotypic ratio 4. Two heterozygous white (brown fur is recessive) rabbits are crossed. What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the offspring? Genotypic ratio Phenotyipc ratio 5. A breeder performs a testcross to determine whether an Alaskan malamute is homozygous dominant (DD) or heterozygous (Dd) for a recessive dward allele. Half the offspring appear dwarf. What is the genotype of the dog? Circle one: DD or Dd
2 New Information: Incomplete Dominance In some cases, an intermediate phenotype is shown Neither allele is dominant In snapdragons, flower color can be red, pink, or white. The heterozygous condition results in pink flowers (or an intermediate trait) A white snapdragon crossed with a red snapdragon produces all pink offspring Two pinks crossed together produce 1/4 white, 2/4 pink, and 1/4 red When dealing with incomplete dominance and codominance it does not matter what letter you use, as long as the heterozygous condition always denotes the intermediate trait. is a situation in which both alleles are equally strong and both alleles are visible in the hybrid genotype. When an phenotype occurs and no allele dominates, incomplete dominance results Complete the Punnet square for a cross between a homozygous red flowered snapdragon (RR) and a homozygous white-flowered snapdragon (rr). Give the ratio for the phenotype and the genotype? C R C R -red C r C r -white C R C r -pink Genotypic ratio Phenotypic ratio Codominance Both alleles can be expressed For example, red cows crossed with white will generate roan cows. Roan refers to cows that have red coats with white blotches. This phenotype might seem to support the blending theory. (The blending theory predicts pink F1 progeny.)
3 The F2 progeny, however, demonstrate Mendelian genetics. When the F1 roan individuals mate, the F2 progeny have a phenotypic ratio of 1 red:2 roan:1 white. This mode of inheritance is called incomplete dominance. The phenotypic outcomes for cow color and incomplete dominance in general can be explained biochemically. One allele of the gene codes for an enzyme that functions in the production of the red color. The other allele codes for the gene to make white color. If both alleles are present, both are expressed, resulting in a cow that has some red and some white. Mendel's laws are not compromised here, he just happened to find in peas examples of complete dominance only. Not all alleles are dominant and recessive. Some alleles are equally strong and are by the other. Alleles which are equally strong are said to be " ". Codominance When alleles are present, they are expressed in the phenotype. The hybrid is a of both alleles. When expressing codominant alleles, both alleles are represented by different letters. Complete the Punnet square for a cross between a black chicken (BB) and a white chicken (ww). Give the phenotype of the offspring? C B C B -Black C W C W -white C B C W -checkered What is the phenotype if the offspring? What is the name of the inheritance pattern in which both alleles are expressed equally? Blood Types and Codominance In humans, there are four blood types (phenotypes): A, B, AB, and O Blood type is controlled by three alleles. A, B, O O is recessive, two O alleles must be present for the person to have type O blood A and B are codominant. If a person receives an A allele and a B allele, their blood type is type AB Crosses involving blood type often use an I to denote the alleles - see chart.
4 When doing blood type crosses, you will need to know whether at type A or B person is heterozygous or homozygous. Type O's are automatically OO and type AB is automatically AB. Crosses are performed the same as any other. The blood type determines what antibodies are located within the blood. Type A blood has type B antibodies. If type B blood is put into their bodies, their immune system reacts as if it were a foreign invader, the antibodies clump the blood - can cause death. Type AB blood has no antibodies, any blood can be donated to them - they are called the "universal acceptors" Type O blood has no surface markers on it, antibodies in the blood do not react to type O blood, they are called the "universal donors" Activity: Human blood types are determined by genes that follow the CODOMINANCE pattern of inheritance. There are two dominant alleles (I A and I B ) and one recessive allele (i). 1. Write the genotype for each person based on the description: a. Homozygous for the B allele b. Heterozygous for the A allele c. Type O d. Type A and had a type O parent e. Type AB f. Blood can be donated to anybody g. Can only get blood from a type O donor 2. Pretend that Joe is homozygous for the type B allele, and Amy is type O. What are all the possible blood types of their baby?
5 3. Draw a Punnett square showing all the possible blood types for the offspring produced by a type O mother and an a Type AB father 4. Mrs. Clink is type A and Mr. Clink is type O. They have three children named Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Mark is type O, Matthew is type A, and Luke is type AB. Based on this information: a. Mr. Clink must have the genotype b. Mrs. Clink must have the genotype because has blood type c. Luke cannot be the child of these parents because neither parent has the allele. 5. Two parents think their baby was switched at the hospital. Its 1968, so DNA fingerprinting technology does not exist yet. The mother has blood type O, the father has blood type AB, and the baby has blood type B. a. Mother s genotype: b. Father s genotype: c. Baby s genotype: or d. Punnett square showing all possible genotypes for children produced by this couple e. Was the baby switched? 6. Two other parents think their baby was switched at the hospital. The mother has blood type A, the father has blood type B, and the baby has blood type AB. a. Mother s genotype: or b. Father s genotype: or c. Baby s genotype: d. Punnett square that shows the baby s genotype as a possibility: e. Was the baby switched? 7. Based on the information in this table, which man could not be the father of the baby? Justify your answer with a Punnett square. Name Mother Baby George John Dan Jack Blood Type Type A Type B Type O Type AB Type A Type B
6 8. Based on the information in this table, which man could not be the father of the baby? Justify your answer with a Punnett square. Name Mother Baby George John Dan Jack Blood Type Type O Type AB Type O Type AB Type A Type B 9.

In thinking about what our world will be like after the coming economic collapse, I have wondered what will become of our current paper as its value goes down. If you've ever shopped in Mexico, you may have suffered peso shock when the grocery bill was 500. Will we see that? Speculation has it that an new Amero will be foisted upon us, along with Canada and Mexico, as we build the North American Union. (I prefer, and wrote about in 1975, the United States of North America, USNA. 100 States in all.)
In the article below, Edgar J. Steele reveales a old-new possibility, he calls it the above-ground economy. What if we started using our old silver coins again. They are still legal tender, but much increased over face value.
Say you went to buy a new car, and with gold at $700 an ounce, you pay the dealer 50 Gold Eagles face value $2500 US Dollars. He accepts them because he knows that they are worth $35,000. (Expect a little shaving here.) The sale is recorded at $2500 and the license and tax ramifications are obvious.
Would you be happy accepting $200 per week for your services is you were paid with four US Gold Eagles (face value $50 each) worth $700 each? Income - $10,400 per year. Not bad as that will buy $72,800 worth of stuff.
Hey, it's like reverseing inflation. Now we can stick to them.
Can this be stopped? Read the article.
If you've been singing along with this blog and developed an interest in gold, silver, and the falling dollar, I urge you to read it. It's long and very lively. No pie in the sky. The change will be all about change!

United States District Court, W.D. Washington, Tacoma
October 10, 2017
GARY CASTERLOW-BEY, Plaintiff,v.CITY OF TACOMA and CITY OF LAKEWOOD, Defendant.
Gary Casterlow-Bey, proceeding pro se and in
forma pauperis, filed this civil rights complaint under
42 U.S.C. § 1983. He alleges two City Attorneys
violated a variety of his rights protected under the
Constitution and other federal law when they discriminated
against him in his search for adequate housing. However,
Plaintiff has named only municipalities as Defendants and has
not alleged that the unlawful deprivation of his rights was
done pursuant to a policy of those municipalities. Therefore,
having reviewed and screened Plaintiff's Complaint under
28 U.S.C. § 1915A, the Court declines to serve the
Amended Complaint but provides Plaintiff leave to file an
amended pleading by November 9, 2017, to cure the
deficiencies identified herein.
is currently in the custody of the Pierce County Sheriff and
is housed at the Pierce County Jail. Dkt. 6. On August 28,
2017, Plaintiff filed a § 1983 action and an Application
to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. Dkt. 1, 6. In his
complaint, he alleges that his rights were violated under the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, the American with Disabilities Act
of 1990, as well as the Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth
Amendments. Dkt. 6 at 2. He states that the City Attorneys
for the Cities of Tacoma and Lakewood discriminated against
him when they ignored letters he sent asking for adequate
housing. Id. at 3. As relief, he requests "a
response to my plea, " a "home for an elderly,
disabled man, " and $3 million in compensatory,
punitive, and consequential damages. Id. at 4. On
October 5, 2017, the Court granted Plaintiff's
Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. Dkt. 5
the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Court is
required to screen complaints brought by prisoners seeking
relief against a governmental entity or officer or employee
of a governmental entity. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). The
Court must "dismiss the complaint, or any portion of
the complaint, if the complaint: (1) is frivolous, malicious,
or fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted;
or (2) seeks monetary relief from a defendant who is immune
from such relief." Id. at (b); 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(e)(2); see Barren v. Harrington, 152
F.3d 1193 (9th Cir. 1998).
order to state a claim for relief under 42 U.S.C. §
1983, a plaintiff must show: (1) he suffered a violation of
rights protected by the Constitution or created by federal
statute, and (2) the violation was proximately caused by a
person acting under color of state law. See Crumpton v.
Gates, 947 F.2d 1418, 1420 (9th Cir. 1991). The first
step in a § 1983 claim is therefore to identify the
specific constitutional right allegedly infringed.
Albright v. Oliver, 510 U.S. 266, 271 (1994). To
satisfy the second step, a plaintiff must allege facts
showing how individually named defendants caused, or
personally participated in causing, the harm alleged in the
complaint. See Arnold v. IBM, 637 F.2d 1350, 1355
(9th Cir. 1981).
Complaint suffers from deficiencies requiring dismissal if
not corrected in an Amended Complaint.
Municipal Liability
names the City of Tacoma and the City of Lakewood as the only
two Defendants in his Complaint. To state a claim under 42
U.S.C. § 1983, Plaintiff must allege facts showing how a
defendant caused or personally participated in causing the
harm alleged in the complaint. Leer v. Murphy, 844
F.2d 628, 633 (9th Cir. 1988); Arnold, 637 F.2d at
1355. A person subjects another to a deprivation of a
constitutional right when committing an affirmative act,
participating in another's affirmative act, or omitting
to perform an act which is legally required. Johnson v.
Duffy, 588 F.2d 740, 743 (9th Cir. 1978). Further,
municipalities may be the subject of a § 1983 claim.
Monell v. New York City Dept. of Social Services,
436 U.S. 658, 690 (1978). However, a municipality may only be
held liable if its policies are the "moving force
[behind] the constitutional violation." City of
Canton v. Harris, 489 U.S. 378, 389 (1989) (quoting
Monell, 436 U.S. at 694). To recover, Plaintiff must
show that Defendants' employees or agents acted through
an official custom or policy that permits violation of
Plaintiff's civil rights, or that the entity ratified the
unlawful conduct. See Monell, 436 U.S. at 690-91.
Plaintiff has not alleged Defendants' employees deprived
him of his civil rights through an official custom or policy.
Plaintiff states his rights under the Civil Rights Act of
1964, the American with Disabilities Act of 1990, as well as
the Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments were infringed.
Dkt. 6 at 2. He appears to allege the City Attorneys for
Lakewood and Tacoma discriminated against him when they
failed to respond to letters he sent requesting a permanent
home as a senior, disabled citizen. Id. at 3-4.
Though he does allege personal participation by the City
Attorneys, he names only the Cities of Tacoma and Lakewood as
Defendants. However, he does not explain how the alleged
unlawful actions were in compliance with a custom or policy
of either City, nor whether the Cities ratified the alleged
unlawful conduct. Because he does not name the City Attorneys
as Defendants and has not explained how the Cities'
policies were the moving force behind the alleged
constitutional violations, he has not stated a claim for
which this Court can offer a remedy. See Monell, 436
U.S. at 690-91, 94. Therefore, the Court orders Plaintiff to
show cause why the Court should not recommend dismissal of
his action, or file an Amended Complaint correcting the
deficiencies identified above.
Instructions to Plaintiff and the Clerk
Plaintiff intends to pursue a § 1983 civil rights action
in this Court, he must file an amended complaint and within
the amended complaint, he must write a short, plain statement
telling the Court: (1) the constitutional right Plaintiff
believes was violated; (2) the name of the persons or
entities who violated the right; (3) exactly what the persons
or entities did or failed to do; (4) how the action or
inaction of the individual is connected to the violation of
Plaintiff's constitutional rights; and (5) what specific
injury Plaintiff suffered because of the individual's
conduct. See Rizzo v. Goode, 423 U.S. 362, 371-72,
377, 96 S.Ct. 598, 46 L.Ed.2d 561 (1976). Further, if
Plaintiff intends to maintain a suit against a municipality,
he must additionally explain how the Cities' policies
were the driving force behind the actions that allegedly
deprived him of his Constitutional rights. See
Monell, 436 U.S. at 694.
shall present the amended complaint on the form provided by
the Court. The amended complaint must be legibly rewritten or
retyped in its entirety, it should be an original and not a
copy, it should contain the same case number, and it may not
incorporate any part of the original complaint by reference.
The amended complaint will act as a complete substitute for
the original Complaint, and not as a supplement. The Court

contains factual allegations linking each defendant to the
alleged violations of Plaintiff's ...

Earth and Air Technologies was founded in 2009 by local Carroll County resident, Ken Donithan. Being an electrical engineer and owning a successful business for 15 years in the power industry, Ken decided to build an energy-efficient 2.4kw wind turbine system at his residence. His initial product's success prompted him to install solar panels.
Through Ken's expertise in the power industry, his education in electrical engineering, the belief in renewable energy, and his experience in building his own systems, Earth and Air Technologies was pioneered.
Our Chief Power Engineer has spoken about Wind and Solar production in the farming community at a number of different venues including the Maryland Rural Agricultural and Business Innovation Forum.
Earth and Air Technologies has been featured on CBS Baltimore News and in a number of different newspapers including the Carroll County Times, Carroll Magazine, The DelMarva Farmer, and the American Agriculturalist. See our In the News section to read the featured Articles and learn more about our projects.
We are at the forefront in the Alternative Energy industry. In November 2010, Earth and Air Technologies installed the largest farm-based, grid-tied, ground-mounted solar system in Maryland. We are also the first to install a solar electric automatic tracking system in Carroll County in October 2011.
We are not just installers, but we are power engineers which specialize in the Alternative Energy field, owning our officially stamped engineering design and integration of our very own solar electric tracking systems.
We are up-to-date on current regulations and grants and are constantly checking to see if/when adoptions or changes are made. Considering the economy and funding, regulations are oftentimes changing with little to no notice, and it is important that we as an expert in the field are able to communicate those changes to our customer.
We have an active presence in the Public Service Commission, attending pertinent meetings to help push solar projects forward and allow utilities to comply with regulations. Earth and Air Technologies has been able to speak at a number of different hearings on behalf of the solar industry.
We believe in this technology, and our farming clients are catching on. This technology not only works to save money, but it works to make money.
We have a personal affiliation with the "countryside," and so we want to see the rural community flourish. That is why our main focus is servicing the farming community. We believe farmers can reap the most benefits from owning a renewable energy system because of the incentives for commercial businesses.
Contact Earth and Air Technologies, LLC, in Westminster, Maryland, at 1.877.514.9547 for more details about our full-service alternative energy company.

An investor favorite, New York Community Bancorp (NYSE:NYCB), plans to merge with Astoria Financial (NYSE:AF).
New York Community Bancorp earned that popularity by paying a large percentage of its earnings to investors. In acquiring Astoria, it will fill in a hole in its portfolio by adding billions in retail despoits.
In this video segment, Motley Fool's senior banking specialist John Maxfield argues why banking investors should be excited about this deal.
Listen to the full podcast by clicking here. A full transcript follows the video.
Gaby Lapera: So this week we're going to lead off with a story about the New York Community Bancorp merger with Astoria Financial. I think that I kind of want to structure this as a ... I don't know if you all went to summer camp. A Rose and a Thorn is a summer camp activity that you do where you talk about one rose and one thorn of your day, except we're going to do it with a bank merger. So Maxfield, I would like for you to start. What is one rose about this bank merger?
John Maxfield: So here's the thing about New York Community Bancorp. This has been a long-term stock that dividend investors have absolutely loved throughout the years because it's yielded something like 70%. And the reason it's yielded such a high number for so long is that it pays out an enormous share of its earnings, in terms to its shareholders via dividends. So that's basically what the shareholders in New York Community Bancorp are there for.
Well the great thing about this bank is that its business model really protects it or insulates it from a lot of the market pressures that other banks face. For example, its business model is focusing on multifamily owners -- lending to owners of rent-controlled multifamily buildings in the New York City metropolitan area.
Lapera: And those are apartment buildings for everyone who's not in the banking slang know.
Maxfield: Exactly. And in the New York City area, you have some buildings where the rent controls that are enforced by the government; they keep the rent in some of these buildings way below the market value. And what that does for the owners of these buildings is it keeps them full at all times.
So the cash flow is really, it's almost like a guaranteed cash flow which means that the loans on these things are always good. And because they're big loans as opposed to small loans, the New York Community Bancorp is also a really efficient bank because it's just writing ... for every loan it writes, it gets much more bang for its buck than say a small community bank that's writing residential mortgages.
Well this merger ... the problem with New York Community Bancorp, the one issue that it had was that it relied -- because it didn't have a large retail deposit base -- it relied to a large extent on wholesale funding. And wholesale funding, this is loans from institutional investors, this is money in the money market, these are broker deposits, things like that. This is much more expensive money than retail deposits.
And so this merger, New York Community Bancorp; effectively they're presenting it as a merger, but it really is more of an acquisition of Astoria Financial by New York Community Bancorp. What this does is it brings in roughly $9 billion dollars' worth of retail, cheap retail deposits that will allow New York Community Bancorp to then use those to replace a lot of the high-cost funding on its balance sheet. So this is going to save New York Community Bancorp a bunch of money each quarter in interest expense and that really is the good part of this deal.
Lapera: Absolutely. This is a really, really exciting thing for them.

As you can imagine, the recent spell of snow and ice has done little to enhance the road surfaces in the Wicklow uplands, with a new proliferation of craters and potholes (especially on the road from Sally Gap towards Roundwood and Glendalough). My car has a suspension like a solid block of Ruhr steel and sits around 2 millimetres above the road surface (made for Autobahns, you see), so if you find any of my fillings or lumbar disks lying around on the road out there, please get in touch.
But the really scary bit was the M50, coming home. The good news is that they've widened it to three lanes now. The bad news is that if Irish drivers couldn't use a motorway with two lanes, they haven't a hope in hell of using one with three. In fact, I expect Ireland to (again) buck international trends and become the only country with a higher death rate on its motorways than on its single-carriageway roads.
The M50 is a frightening place, with traffic going faster in the inside lane (assuming it's not just left empty) than the overtaking lane (which contains the most traffic). The middle lane changes in tempo, with traffic sometimes travelling faster then either of the other lanes, sometimes slower. All trucks occupy the middle lane, without fail. The truth of the matter is that most Irish drivers simply have not grasped the principle of the motorway.
Sadly, that's unlikely to change, as the Government and the RSA don't seem interested in educating them – opting to go for silly, sensationalist, driver "education" as featured in the ad above, where little Oisin gets flattened in the garden by a mascara-wearing drunk's somersaulting, ESP bereft, banger. "Could you live with the shame?" it says. What, the shame of starring in such an embarrassingly awful advert? No.
How about some ads simply informing Irish motorists how to drive? Especially on those new-fangled three-lane motorways.

"I have a gay ex-husband. People always say to me, 'How did you not know? He loves decorating and fashion and clothes.' But we actually did have sex a lot. I didn't know at the time, though, that in his mind he was f–king the bartender at the Olive Garden!" – Fran Drescher's speech after being honored by the Stonewall Community Foundation Vision Awards. I know her ex, the lovely Peter Marc Jacobson, and I don't believe he's ever been in an Olive Garden!
I think God may be gay. For many years, I've been involved in various Gay Pride festivals around the country where rain was predicted. And then, as if a sign from the Lord above, the rains would stop just in time for the festivities. For weeks, we've been waiting for the Supreme Court of the United States to rule on the legality of same-sex marriage. And when did it come down? Friday, June 26th – two days before the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots and on the eve of Gay Pride in San Francisco and New York City. Timing is everything.
Last weekend, London also celebrated gay pride. While NYC got thespians Derek Jacobi and Sir Ian McKellen as their grand marshals (whilst promoting their show, "Vicious"), the London Gay Pride Parade included ISIS – at least, according to CNN. The international broadcast of the news network interrupted programming to feature a report from Lucy Pawle, who said she saw the ISIS flag being brandished amidst the revelers. While showing her exclusive video footage, she expressed shock that nobody else seemed to notice the flag, and patted herself on the back for having a scoop. She probably should have reached a bit lower – to her backside. The flag she showed did not have Arabic lettering – it actually featured drawings of assorted butt plugs and dildos! I betcha Anderson Cooper or Don Lemon would never have made such a mistake.
Before I go on, I must mention some of the fantastic performers I got to see while in Fort Lauderdale for Wilton Manors' Stonewall Parade and Street Festival. Kicking off the week was the amazing Mario Cantone, who held the capacity audience at the Parker Playhouse in the palm of his hand for more than two uproarious hours. Then there was En Vogue, who put on a kick-ass show on the Mainstage. Wrapping up the weekend was the lovely Leslie Jordan at The Cabaret in South Beach. No matter how many times I see Leslie, I am thoroughly entertained. His engaging stories and affable personality make him a perennial favorite.
By the time you read this, Michael Sam should be back up in Canada singing "Alouette, gentille alouette!" About a week ago, Sam's football career all but flatlined as he abruptly left training camp with the Montreal Alouettes for "personal reasons". He was suspended and local reporters mused that he wouldn't be returning. The team's general manager was perplexed. "He wanted to go home, and that's what he did. I don't know why. When a guy wants to go home, they go home. He had some personal things to take care of. I wouldn't be surprised if he returns. I'm surprised he left. I was very surprised. If he doesn't come back, I would think football's over for him." Rumors circulated that he wasn't doing well in practice and had trouble with his teammates. While we still don't know anything about his mysterious departure, Sam was expected to return to practice on Monday.
Donald Trump is certainly known for being judgmental and last week, he sure stepped in it. While formally announcing his candidacy for president, he spoke disparagingly about one of our neighbors: "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They are bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." Needless to say, this did not go over well. When asked by ABC News if he regrets his comments, Trump said, "Not at all. I said it about people from all over. I didn't say it about Mexico…I said from people all over." Except, of course, he did – and on live TV – and that's where he's being hardest hit. Univision has cut all ties with the Miss Universe Pageant, saying, "We will not be airing the Miss USA pageant on July 12th or working on any other projects tied to the Trump Organization." Trump fired back with a lawsuit trying to pressure the network to air the pageant. He also issued a strongly-worded letter banning all Univision employees from his golf course (adjacent to the network's Miami office) and ordered work be stopped on a gate being constructed between the two properties. In other words, Trump thinks his is bigger than theirs.
Our "Ask Billy" question comes from Jasper in New York City: "Who is Adam Rodriguez? You mentioned that he was on the 'Magic Mike' float at LA Pride, but I have no idea who he is. Was he in the first movie? Is he hot? Can you share anything about him?"
As it happens, Adam Rodriguez is a neighbor of yours – he was born in Yonkers. He's of Puerto Rican and Cuban ancestry, which means two things: a) he's really hot and b) he won't be voting for Donald Trump. You probably know him as Eric Delko on "CSI: Miami". And, yes, he played Tito in the first "Magic Mike" flick. Showing off his considerable assets, he stripped down for the "Cosmo UK" issue supporting cancer research. In promoting his pictorial, the magazine claimed, "EVEN MORE Adam Rodriguez than you'll see in 'Magic Mike XXL'". Rodriguez explained why he posed for the magazine: "Health problems don't discriminate on age – young men and women need to pay attention to that. It's your body, don't be afraid of it. Check yourself out, if something doesn't feel right go an get a doctor's opinion." You can check Adam out on BillyMasters.com.
When "Cosmo" is more titillating than "Magic Mike", it's definitely time to end yet another column. Of course, the hottest stories (and photos) can always be found on www.BillyMasters.com, the site that is known for setting off fireworks. Although I'll be celebrating the 4th with the throngs in thongs in Provincetown, I'm always available for your questions. Dash off a note to firstname.lastname@example.com, and I promise to get back to you before we discover that Ruth Bader Ginsburg is really God (or, at the very least, knows God personally). Until next time, remember, one man's filth is another man's bible.

Rainn On My Parade by LoRee Peery
Why would God bring together an older widow and a younger man?
After firefighter Rainn Harris rescues Geneva Carson from being stuck in a tree, she feels she owes him. Helping to care for his autistic niece comes easy, but her attraction to Rainn is a different story. Being drawn to a man twelve years her junior metes internal havoc as Geneva attempts to balance responsibility and personal fulfillment. And the prospect of becoming a middle-aged mom to a special -needs child sends Geneva into a tailspin of conflicting emotions.
As the custodial parent for his young niece, Rainn is determined to be a better parent than his absentee sister. When Geneva agrees to help care for Mia, Rainn is overjoyed. He admires Geneva's compassion and enthusiasm for life, and expects she'll be a positive influence on Mia. What he doesn't expect is to fall in love with the beautiful and vital woman. But Geneva's hung up on their age difference, and he must convince her of his sincerity before they will ever have a chance at happiness together.
As tension threatens to pull them apart, both must learn to rely on the Lord to direct their futures—whether that means two lives joined or paths in opposite directions.
A sneak peek into Rainn On My Parade:
Get a grip, woman, and act your age
The sirens drew close. She soon heard activity below, but she kept her eyes clamped shut.
"Hold on, Ms. Carson. Don't be scared," a disembodied voice that didn't belong to her future son-in-law spoke from below. "Just hold on."
"I assure you, I'm too scared to let go." Geneva's voice quivered. But she couldn't help smiling at her predicament.
The extension ladder whirred softly and creaked as it reached for the top branches of the tree.
She squeezed her eyes tighter."I'm right behind you now."
"Thank you, Lord."
"Not God, just me."
The firefighter chuckled.
Her eyes popped open when she felt him close behind. Thankful for the cropped-pajama bottoms she wore instead of a nightgown, Geneva frowned at the unexpected shiver as she attempted to place the voice.
"Whenever you're ready, just let go."
"Thought you told me to hold on."
"Well, I'm here to catch you now."
She caught the humor in his voice. And hated it.
"Oh, good grief. I'm too heavy for anybody to catch me." She lowered her eyes to half mast.
"Spunky, most likely," came from under his breath.
She doubted he meant for her to hear.
Is that professional behavior? Well, that's pretty nervy of the guy. But then again, I am caught in a tree.
She snickered, wondering if she was hysterical. She tried for a deep breath but it turned into a gulp around her sternum. "Are you sure I can let go?"
"Geneva, trust me." That popped her eyes wide open.
The confident urging voice and the use of her first name drew enough courage to peer downward.
Rainn Harris.
And he was way too close for comfort.
Eric would never live this down at the firehouse. His future mother-in-law rescued from a tree, by his buddy.
She remembered her first look at him. Rainn was a few years older than Eric, but they became fast friends when they met at University. Geneva may have heard Rainn's name a time or two before Eric started working on Moselle's loft, but she hadn't any reason to pay attention. Since then, she'd seen him with Eric many times.
Rainn probably knew more about her than she did him.
Before she could fathom any further thought, Geneva let go and found herself wrapped in the strongest arms and pressed against the strongest chest imaginable.
I'd climb the tree again if this firefighter would come for me.

Here's a little about LoRee Peery:
A lifelong Nebraskan, LoRee Peery is the oldest of seven and grew up on a Nebraska farm. She feels grounded in her sense of place and considers it a blessing to have lived most of her life in the country. She learned to read when she was four and has devoured books since. She also enjoys sewing crafts, quilting, creating rock and flower gardens, bird watching, and country walks.
LoRee loves the word overcomer and knows how the Lord protected her from potential harm as a young woman. She found herself in situations that could have been detrimental, but He protected her. When she considers being set apart as a child of God, she is humbled. She feels closest to the Lord when she worships through singing. And one thing she's sure of: "Jesus loves me, this I know.
He will never let me go."
LoRee was brave enough to answer some questions...
What does a normal workday look like for you?
That changes from day to day. I'd love to say I sit my seat in the chair and work for 6-8 hours. It all depends on what needs to be done. I may only have one or two days a week without places to go. I'm involved in the lives of grandchildren, I go exercise, run errands, and my hubby and I both have doctor appointments. I did change something of my routine this past January. I set the priority to write 250 words, or something on my WIP, before I open email. Exceptions are when I'm expecting something that needs immediate attention.
What's your favorite food?
If you had a Friday night all to yourself, what would you do first?
Go to a movie with my honey. If I'm by myself, I turn on relaxing music and read. Or, if there's something for both of us on TV, I make pop corn and read through the commercials.
Things you dislike:
Wow, interesting question. Chaos, loud noises. Cornhusker football is close to being a religion in Nebraska, but I've never been drawn to crowds. The exceptions are church and writers. I can handle the noise if I'm surrounded by like-minded folk.
Thanks so much for joining me today, LoRee. I can't wait to read my copy of Rainn On My Parade! Yummy!

Beijing: The Chinese military Thursday voiced strong dissatisfaction and opposition to the recent "intrusion" of an Indian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) into China's airspace, according to a media report.
The military said the UAV had crashed and China's border troops have conducted identification and verification of the drone.
The Indian UAV "intruded" into China's airspace and crashed recently, and China's border troops have conducted identification and verification over the vehicle, said Zhang Shuili, deputy head of the combat bureau of the Western Theatre Command's joint staff department.
He did not provide the exact location of the crash site.
The People's Liberation Army's western theatre command's jurisdiction include Tibet's border region with India.
"India's move has infringed upon China's territorial sovereignty, and we are strongly dissatisfied with and opposed to this," Zhang has been quoted by the state-run Xinhua news agency.
"We will fulfil our mission and responsibility and defend China's national sovereignty and security resolutely," he said.
There was no immediate response from the Indian Defence Ministry. PTI

Because (if nothing else) she likes a man who takes care of himself, you need to take care of yourself. Taking the reins of your own health is a no-brainer because, just like a finely tuned automobile, you need regular maintenance – and, more specifically, regular preventative maintenance. Memorize this checklist:
In Your 20s
With ramping up your sexual activity should come regular screening for sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. This is most important if you have multiple partners or a new partner and if you are not wearing protection at all times. And while we're there, check for lumps with a monthly testicular self exam. Do this in the shower, not at work or on the bus.
In Your 30s
Things get more complicated when you hit your thirties, as regular screenings for cholesterol, diabetes and hypertension needs to be scheduled. Have your blood pressure checked every two years (unless you have abnormal findings). This is also the time of your life to get into the habit of regular exercise to help lower your risk of cardiovascular disease.
In Your 40s
Forty should see your first prostate exam (because all the Movember moustaches in the world won't be able to help you if you neglect to monitor it). As well, a focal occult blood test screening for colorectal cancer, while it sounds both mysterious and vile, could save your life.
In Your 50s
Fifty is the magic number for your first colonoscopy, if you've managed to avoid that so far. Sure, it's not the most fun way to spend a morning, but it beats colon cancer. Also by 50, you really have to adopt a more body-is-the-temple approach to life, and say goodbye to cigarettes and other pollutants if you haven't already.
In Your 60s
It's best at this age to just try not to die – or shrink. Keep a watchful eye on every aspect of your health. This is when all your risk factors increase for heart disease and stroke, etc. So, as your body starts to fail you, it is extra-important to maintain muscle mass. Keep as active and eat as healthfully as humanly possible.
