The Guy Battling a Sunburn and His Girlfriend's HPV
Once a week, Daily Intel takes a peek behind doors left slightly ajar. This week, the Guy Battling a Sunburn and His Girlfriend's HPV: male, writer/editor, 24, Bushwick, straight, in a relationship.
11 a.m.: Weird start to the day. Wake up with my lady and an enormous hangover. We had sex last night, though I can't remember much about it. I ask, and she says she came. Open my laptop to find a Facebook message from my ex. She's sent me a few lately, which makes sense, since I saw her for the first time in a while about a month ago. It was the first time we didn't hook up since breaking up.
3 p.m.: Lady and I get back from our weekly writing group. I feel like death and lie down. Before long, she undresses me (while lying down) and starts going down. I'm a big fan of oral, almost more than sex sometimes, so I let her continue until I'm about to come, and then we switch to having sex. First she's on top, then I get on top, in missionary position. After a while, I get behind her and pull out to come on her chest and stomach. She doesn't have an orgasm, so I go down on her. I remember taking a break with my hands at one point, and her pushing my head back down. She comes and we take a shower together, then nap.
6 p.m.: Lady goes home to hang out with roommates and do some work. I go out with my friends and talk to a few girls but keep my distance. I talk to one of my female friends about her boyfriend cheating on her several times; she is physically shaking when she tells me about it. We all part very late and make plans for the beach the next day.
10 a.m.: Wake up (alone). Pack my bags for the beach and go to my friend's place. He drives us out there. My lady stays at her place to work and see friends.
11:30 a.m.: We get to the beach. It's a mix of gorgeous girls and the worst of humanity New York can offer. There's also a pirate in drag with a crazy-looking parrot, garters, and a rainbow-colored Victorian dress strutting around the beach and talking to folks. I make a comment about getting fat and poke my stomach: "What is this?" My one friend answers: "Age." I wonder if that's what's happening to my sex drive.
3:30 p.m.: Everyone's tired, and I'm starting to sunburn. We leave the beach.
4 p.m.: I realize that I'm way more sunburned than I initially thought. We stop for seafood.
5 p.m.: We all get back from dinner and then set home. I go buy aloe vera, and my roommate rubs it on my back then shows me a photo of her friend, topless, while her friend is sitting there. She gets uncomfortable, and I make a complimentary joke to make things less awkward.
8 p.m.: My lady comes over again, and we fall asleep early, no sex. I'm way too sunburned to even consider it.
7:20 a.m.: We wake up. I get up and start dressing, then look at her, lying naked in my bed, not wanting to get up. I love her skin. I wake her up again, and we make breakfast and leave for work.
5:30 p.m. I get home. My lady will be hosting friends at her place tonight, and I need a night in, so we won't be seeing each other. I start looking at porn in the living room, debating whether I want to jack off or not. I decide I do, and go into my room. I watch two blow-job videos and then a sex one. Forget to bring tissue into my room and end up putting boxers on with one hand and having to sneak past my roommates' bedrooms to the bathroom.
Between 3 and 5 a.m.: I have a dream that I'm having sex with someone I dislike very strongly in front of my brother. He's lying in his childhood bed and we're across the room in mine. I have a hard time keeping it up, and then I flip her around and do it, no problem. I wake up. Weird. I consider jacking off, but I can't think of anyone but this girl I don't like. I fall back asleep.
11 a.m.: At work, I keep thinking about the dream and if it means anything.
1 p.m.: I get a text from my lady: "Call me." I hate when she does this. I call her — she had an irregular pap two weeks ago and went back to the doc today. "Turns out I do have HPV," she says. I keep it together and ask her some questions: What kind? What do we do next? What should I worry about? etc. At the end I tell her I have to go back to work. She starts crying, and we talk for a few minutes. I try to calm her down. Once we hang up, I walk over to my desk. A really hot girl walks by my office. Nothing feels weird. I decide to stop smoking and start exercising again. They say 80 percent of people get rid of it on their own ...
3 p.m.: I've done some more research on HPV, convinced the lady to stop smoking, and sent her a bunch of info that seems helpful. She asks if she can come over tonight and says she can't have sex till Friday (they're doing another test). I lament. She replies saying she can give all the blow jobs I want. I'm pretty happy with us for being cool about this. It's reassuring for our relationship, and for my own sense of being able to deal with things.
3:30 p.m.: I decide I need to e-mail my ex, who I haven't had sex with in almost a year, and tell her just in case. I send a long, apologetic e-mail explaining the situation, how I'm probably carrying it, and I don't know where I would have gotten it — from her, someone before her, my current lady, or someone in between them. I tell her she should get tested. She lives in France now, so I have no idea what kind of health insurance, if any, she has. She replies 30 minutes later saying, "Thank you. I'm glad you told me," and saying she has to go get medication this week and will ask about it. I send her another e-mail thanking her for being cool about it. She replies and asks if I want the results from her test, to narrow down how I might've gotten it. I say yes and thank her again.
9 p.m.: My lady comes over and we hang out and eat dinner, then watch part of a movie. We talk about the test results briefly, and she gives me some of the gory details, like how the doctor said if she noticed anything "mustard colored" over the next few days, not to worry about it. She puts some aloe on me, and we fall asleep.
11 a.m.: I have today off, so I wake up late. She's already up, and we eat some cereal together and take a shower. She puts aloe on me and says I'm starting to peel. We hang out for a while, and she goes home. It's a very uneventful day for me.
9 p.m.: The lady and I go out and get a few more drinks and talk about the test results and our relationship and try to put everything in perspective. She's moving into my place next lease, after some roommates leave, and nothing has changed. We get pretty drunk and go home to pass out.
9 a.m.: I wake up and am a total lizard: My shoulders, chest, upper arms, and upper back are all peeling like crazy. I actually wake up to my lady peeling pieces of skin off my back. We make some breakfast and then go back to my room. She starts grabbing my crotch then going down on me, and we start having sex, with her on top. I notice that she's bleeding, too much to be normal, and we stop and shower, where she goes down on me. I come into her mouth, then I ask if I can go down on her. She says no, because of the blood. We finish showering and she puts lotion on me.
12:00 p.m.: Lotion was a bad decision. I'm peeling like crazy and have a terrible hangover. Lady and I help set up an event I'm hosting at a bar near my house.
11 p.m.: The event is over, and we go to a bar. I end up giving a very Chicago/Ira Glass–looking guy the finger and yelling "Fuck you" as he walks out for telling my friend and me he hoped we'd die of cancer and AIDS. This has nothing to do with sex, except it makes me feel pretty good about myself, and some people tell me it was pretty cool. The lady grabs my arm and strokes it. Pretty stereotypical.
11 a.m.: Not as bad a hangover as yesterday. We wake up, go out for brunch, and go to some friends' studios for Bushwick Open Studios. We walk to a bar and are each given two free Jamesons on the rocks.
5 p.m.: The train is down, so we walk for fifteen minutes and get dinner/lunch at a vegan bakery.
8 p.m.: We go to an art show. Most of the art sucks, but some girls are checking me out, so I guess that's all right. I see the person I dreamed about earlier in the week and try to make small talk (remember, I don't like her). Then some guy is talking to the lady outside, and he lights her cigarette. I walk up and join the conversation, realizing he's just being nice, or maybe now he's hitting on me, or both of us. We talk for maybe twenty minutes, then the lady and I go home and pass out by ten. Still no sex, but it's the first night that I can actually lie on my side and cuddle her without feeling like I'm being rubbed down with a baking sheet.
TOTALS: one act of actual intercourse; two acts of failed intercourse; two acts of fellatio; one act of attempted cunnilingus; one act of masturbation (with porn).

In response to Dr Ransom's letter, I will update several points made in my Aug 7 JAMA article.One of the major points in my article is that the SDI will weaken the defense and security of the West. Several recent reports from within the defense establishment have severely criticized the SDI crash program. The Defense Science Board, an experienced advisory board to the Department of Defense, stated that the major technologies needed for the project simply do not exist, that the project is "sketchy," and that space-based weapons are "vulnerable to attack by existing systems" (New York Times, July 28, 1987, p 14). Early deployment plans advocated by Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger were recently criticized as being "ineffective against Soviet missiles planned for the near future" by government weapons scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (New York Times, Aug 13, 1987, p 12). In fact, Weinberger

The functional link between mandibular morphology and masticatory stress has been documented by both experimental and comparative investigation. Somewhat more tenuous is the purported connection between dietary variation and the form of the jaws in primates. Several factors complicate the inference of such a connection, including anecdotal or incomplete dietary data from field studies and allometric effects on skeletal form that may have little to do with diet per se. We compared the jaws of sympatric colobines from West Africa to test the effect of diet on mandibular form. Procolobus badius and Colobus polykomos occupy the same habitat yet differ in diet primarily due to the exploitation of hard seeds by C. polykomos. The fact that the two taxa are comparable in body size also obviates the need for allometric qualifications. Colobus polykomos is expected to possess more robust mandibular corpora than Procolobus badius. In fact, the jaws of Colobus polykomos do not differ consistently from those of Procolobus badius in terms of biomechanical function. This apparent failure of mandibular morphology to reflect differences in diet and feeding behavior may be due to a variety of factors. We suspect that functional demands related to canine tooth support are contributing to obliteration of the expected biomechanical signal. Successful prediction of dietary effects on mandibular form requires consideration of competing structural and functional demands. The influence of diet on mandibular corporeal morphology is not equivalent across different primate species.

Bury the Nation's Nuclear Waste in Nevada, Bush Says
By MATTHEW L. WALD
Published: February 16, 2002
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15— President Bush said today that a 57-year accumulation of nuclear waste from power plants and weapons should be buried in the Nevada desert at Yucca Mountain, declaring that an end to the 40-year search for a place to isolate radioactive waste was necessary to ''protect public safety, health and the nation's security.''
Opponents said his decision, coming less than 24 hours after the step was recommended by the Energy Department, represented a rush into a project that could have consequences for hundreds of thousands of years.
The repository, including details of the packaging and the layout of storage tunnels, has not been designed yet, and many scientific and engineering studies are still under way. The designation starts a clock that will require the Energy Department to apply for a construction license by the end of the year, but the department probably will not be ready.
First, though, the president's action puts the issue before Congress under a system set up in 1982 after what had already been a 20-year search.
What was seen in 1982 as a 16-year plan for finding a location and opening a repository is entering its 20th year and seems likely to last for at least 10 more.
If the Yucca proposal, which is still largely undefined, survives Congress, it will move to the courts, where Nevada has two separate challenges under way already, and to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which will have to decide whether to issue a license to let the Energy Department build the repository and, later, bury waste there.
Opponents are seeking to focus the debate on transportation and are predicting that the amount of waste to be moved will fill nearly 100,000 trucks.
Trying to defuse that emerging argument, Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham said in a telephone conference call with reporters today that despite the risk of terrorism, moving the material to Yucca was ''safe in comparison to leaving this waste where it is.''
The waste is at power plants and weapons factories scattered around the country, including some places that are no longer active industrial plants. Putting it on the road or rails briefly is better than leaving it as a sitting target, Mr. Abraham said. And he pointed out that several utilities were trying to rent space on an Indian reservation near Salt Lake for what he called a ''makeshift'' storage area, which would also involve transportation.
But approval of Yucca Mountain as the site for the waste is far from certain, and the Energy Department, Mr. Abraham acknowledged, is months at least from being ready to apply for an operating license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, as outlined in the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982.
Under that law, the presidential designation first puts the ball in Nevada's court, but the Nevada governor, Kenny Guinn, immediately issued a statement saying he would object.
''I am outraged,'' Mr. Guinn said, ''as are the citizens of Nevada, that this decision would go forward with so many unanswered questions.''
The state immediately filed suit in United States District Court here.
Senator John Ensign, Republican of Nevada, said the Energy Department ''has been hellbent on shoving waste into our backyard, regardless of what science and common sense show.''
The other Nevada senator, Harry Reid, the second-ranking Democrat in the Senate, said Mr. Bush had ''betrayed our trust'' by not relying on science, as he promised he would in a campaign stop in Nevada.
Nevada has 60 days to object, and then the question goes to Congress.
Yucca Mountain was chosen by Congress in 1987 on a largely bipartisan vote. Lately, however, despite Governor Guinn's position, Yucca Mountain is developing as a partisan issue, with the Democrats seeking to portray it as another assault by the Bush administration on the environment and the Republicans arguing that its selection fills a federal obligation to take the waste, cuts risk and improves energy security, too, by allowing the nuclear industry to keep operating.
Speaker J. Dennis Hastert said, ''After two decades of study, we know this remote location beneath the Nevada desert is a safe, secure and viable site.''
Mr. Hastert added, ''Americans deserve the peace of mind that spent nuclear fuel will be consolidated into one secure location rather than scattered across the country in over 130 various sites.''
Some experts took issue with that position.
Arjun Makhijani, the president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research, said that moving the waste from the reactors would not cut risk by much if the reactors kept running, as many are now doing under license extensions recently granted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
''It's a shame that the president didn't even take 24 hours on a decision that's the most momentous decision, in terms of time frame, that's ever been made by a president,'' Mr. Makhijani said.
Representative Richard A. Gephardt, the House Democratic leader, said, ''The politics and the needs of corporate energy interests seem to be at the heart of this decision.''
Al Gore, the former vice president, said President Bush ''did the opposite of what he solemnly pledged to the people of Nevada that he would do'' when Mr. Bush was running against Mr. Gore in the presidential campaign.
But John Sununu, the former governor of New Hampshire and the White House chief of staff in the Reagan administration, now lobbying on behalf of the United States Chamber of Commerce, said, ''The president made the correct call in recognizing the evidence that supports the designation of Yucca Mountain.

I know this isn't a new idea but how about a variant involving something like the Doubling Cube in Backgammon?
The usual idea is that if there is an offer to double the stakes/points, a refusal results in a win for the offerer, and an acceptance doubles the stakes/points, leaves the option for the next double in the game for the accepter, and, different for Chess, the accepter gets Draw Odds. Therefore, the offerer MUST win to not lose. The reason for this is that in a match, one player could get ahead by one point, then double every game and play for a draw, hastening the end and a win.
Anyone have any other ideas for this variant?
I'm not sure what level of player you're thinking of?
Any level.
Hmmm, could you imagine a Top (2700+) player cubing without seeing the win? Or do you think they would be speculative?
I certainly wouldn't accept if Carlsen doubles me, lol.
Good questions.
In BG, you Double with anything over 50% winning chances, and you accept if you have at least 25%, so very often, both sides are doing the correct thing, and more importantly, it is always at least partially speculative, if not wholly so.
I haven't worked out the math for Chess with the Draw odds, but despite what the numbers will be, I think it'll be less of who can calculate deeper and take advantage of that, and more a case of position evaluation.
I'll work out the math after I've had caffeine.
Caffeine's good....
I'd like to make this work, but I have issues.
In Backgammon, you basically cube to protect yourself against bad dice. You often dont cube in totally won positions, because if your opponent declines you take away the posssibility of double or triple games.
If you cube in BG, (except against BG patzers :)) you generally WANT you opponent to decline, and pay for your current advantage. A BG advantage is much more volatile than a chess one.

I visited the cemetery with my friend during Aseret Yemei Teshuvah. After visiting my grandfather, z"l, we visited my friend's husband's family. As we were wending our way among the graves and discussing names, she pointed out that her newest granddaughter is named after her husband's mother, a"h. Then she told me two stories about her family.

By any standards it was a shocking episode. Jacob had settled on the outskirts of the town of Shechem, ruled by Hamor. Dinah, Jacob's daughter, goes out to see the town. Shechem, Hamor's son, sees her, abducts and rapes her, and then falls in love with her and wants to marry her. He begs his father, "Get me this girl as my wife."

I was on a city bus as it stopped for a young boy frantically waving his arms, fearful the bus might not stop for him on this snowy February afternoon. As the boy, wearing a thin jacket, boarded the bus, he searched his pockets for bus fare, found nothing, and told the bus driver he had left his money at home. "Could you please let me ride this bus?" he asked. "I promise to give you the money tomorrow. It's so freezing outside, and it's such a long walk home." The bus driver refused, ordering the boy to leave the bus immediately.

About 15 months after the Second Lebanon War, we were called up to reserve duty in the Gush Talmonim region, part of the Binyamin Regional Council. On the second Friday night, I enjoyed the privilege of leading the entire company in singing, "Shalom Aleichem." Although there wasn't even a minyan of shomrei Shabbat men, the soldiers pulled out their hats in honor of the song (a handful placed a hand on their heads), and all respectfully rose to their feet - including the Bedouin trackers.

For 10 years our front door was 35 feet from the busiest road leading in and out of Morristown, New Jersey. Zoom, zoom, zoom…one car after another going 40-50 miles per hour, not only during the morning and afternoon rush hours, but all week long.

My bubbie warmly replied, "Go, my shefele [sweetheart]."

However, the following are not found in OFDS type 1: (1) absence of hair and skin abnormalities; (2) presence of more than one fused big toe on each foot; (3) involvement of the central nervous system; and (4) heart malformations. Although it is known that OFDS type 2 is genetic, the exact gene that causes the syndrome has not been identified. The condition is believed to be inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Treatment is based on the symptoms present in the patient.[1]Orofaciodigital syndrome (OFDS) type 2 is a genetic condition that was first described in 1941 by Mohr. OFDS type 2 belongs to a group of disorders called orofaciodigital syndromes (OFDS) characterized by mouth malformations, unique facial findings, and abnormalities of the fingers and/or toes. Other organs might be affected in OFDS, defining the specific types. OFDS type 2 is very similar to

Bill would ban 'cyberbullying'

Prosecutors say the girl endured months of threats, including on Facebook and through other electronic forms.

Youngsters have an
uncanny ability to jump, or fall, into bitterly cold water
and enjoy the experience.
It's an aptitude the Break-Away Summer Sailing programme has
had to take advantage of during its four-week course for 11
to 17-year-olds this summer, because the weather during the
past month has been less than tropical.
Yachting New Zealand regional support officer and programme
co-ordinator Graeme Wall said despite the abysmal weather, 68
young people learned to sail.
He said the number of applicants for the course continued to
grow each year.
''It's been the worst weather we've had for the last few
summers - this one's been the most challenging.
''It's not about the rain. It's about wind conditions.
''We've had a lot of southerly fronts which are cold and
gusty, which makes learning to sail quite difficult.
''Some kids have really latched on though, despite the
While the weather was again unsuitable for sailing yesterday,
Mr Wall said it failed to keep the novices anchored.
Rather, they had a race in row-boats from the Harbour Basin
to the Otago Yacht Club, which again gave them an opportunity
to experience the wind in their hair and the spray of sea
water on their faces.
He said the course was not just about getting more young
people out on yachts in Otago Harbour, it was about teaching
young people to be safe, confident and competent in the
Pupils who attended the programme last year had gone on to
sail fibreglass Optimist-class yachts in races around the
country, which showed the programme was successful. The
programme finishes today.

I am not very techsavy, so it is very nice to see that by using shortcodes, it is possible to manually add the next and previous links on the website pages.
Is there however a way to implement the next and previous buttons automatically on all pages on the WordPress website?
Or that code that needs to be put in the template is the solution?
I dont really know where to find this template, is there a guide available how to do insert this code? It would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance


text: Timed, no doubt, to the release of the upcoming feature film, Penguin Classics has reissued its collection of F. Scott Fitzgerald's Jazz Age Stories as The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The titular tale, an absurdist parable of a man who is born in old age and regresses to childhood over the course of 70 years, is just one among the 19 stories gathered here, the full roster of Fitzgerald's first two collections. In a way, Fitzgerald's early stories are a training ground for the author we've come to know, full of his habitual wit but with more whimsy than usual. In such stories as "The Camel's Back," about a man disguised as a camel at a costume party who tricks his noncommittal lover into marrying him, and the classic "Diamond as Big as the Ritz," we catch a glimpse of the decadent exuberance of post-WWI America, unconstrained by the trifling boundaries of realism. Still, these stories are, for the most part, hardly without Fitzgerald's melancholy touch — the novelette "May Day," in particular, is a somber indictment of the ravages of the Jazz Age and the aftermath of war upon a set of young men and women whose lives intersect one fateful night in New York. Fitzgerald's more ambitious stories, "May Day" among them, outclass some of the collection's more lighthearted efforts: "Head and Shoulders," in the O. Henry–esque orthodoxy of its structure, would seem the work of a less than mature creator. But then, that is one of the great pleasures of this collection — the chance to see one of America's most iconic authors in the throes of his literary evolution.

I have been testing this plugin for use, but so far I have found the responsiveness of it to be unpredictable. I have so far tested it on 4 themes.
On Twenty Eleven and Hatch Pro - it is responsive.
On Twenty Ten and Prototype (Theme Hybrid) - it is not responsive at all.
Any ideas on why this would be?
I thought that since Hatch and Prototype are both built on Hybrid Core this should not be an issue.
I am using a plain WP 3.3.2 install with only Responsive Slider installed as a plugin.

Here are her recipes for whole wheat pappardelle with roasted butternut squash, broccoli rabe and pumpkin seeds, and braised short ribs with horseradish.
- 1 butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/2 -inch dice
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 1 bunch of broccoli rabe, tough bottom stems removed
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- Pinch of crushed red pepper
- 1 1/2 cups veggie or chicken stock
- 1 recipe Chef Anne's All-Purpose Pasta Dough or 1 pound fresh pappardelle
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano
- Big fat finishing oil
- 1/2 cup pepitas (green pumpkin seeds), toasted
Baking Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. 2. In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash with just enough olive oil to lightly coat it and sprinkle with salt. Put the squash on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes, or until soft. Reserve.3. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli rabe, give it a swish, and immediately remove it from the water; save the water to cook the pasta. When the rabe is cool enough to handle, coarsely chop it and set aside.4. Coat a large wide saucepan generously with olive oil. Toss in the garlic and red pepper and bring to medium heat. When the garlic is golden brown and very aromatic, 2 to 3 minutes, remove it from the pan and ditch it — it has fulfilled its garlic destiny. Add the roasted squash and the stock to the pan. When the stock has reduced by about half, 5 to 6 minutes, add the broccoli rabe. 5. In the meantime, bring the broccoli rabe water back to a boil, add the pasta, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until tender but tooth-some. Drain the pasta and add it, along with 1/2 cup reserved pasta cooking water, to the squash and rabe. When the pasta water has evaporated, remove the pan from the heat, add about two-thirds of the Parmigiano, and a big drizzle of the big fat finishing oil. Toss or stir vigorously to combine. Divide among serving bowls and top with more Parm and the pepitas. Squash it!
- 6 to 8 bone-in short ribs
- Kosher salt
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 onions, coarsely chopped
- 2 carrots, coarsely chopped
- 2 celery ribs, coarsely chopped
- 6 to 8 cremini mushrooms, trimmed, cleaned and coarsely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 1/2 cups tomato paste
- 1/4 cup prepared horseradish
- 2 cups dry red wine
- 4 bay leaves
- 1 thyme bundle, tied with butcher's twine
- 1 bunch of fresh chives, minced
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated horseradish
Baking Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. 2. Season the ribs generously with salt. Coat a large wide pan with olive oil and bring to high heat. Add the ribs to the pan and brown very well on all sides — this is an EXTREMELY important step in the development of big brown flavors. It may take up to 20 minutes — don't rush it!3. While the ribs are browning, put the onions, carrots, celery, mushrooms and garlic in a food processor and puree to a coarse paste; set aside.4. When the ribs are very brown on all sides, remove them from the pan. Ditch the fat, add a bit of fresh olive oil, and add the pureed veggies to the pan. Season generously with salt and cook over medium-high heat until the veggies are very brown and a crud has formed on the bottom of the pan, 8 to 10 minutes. Scrape the crud and let it reform. Don't rush this step.5. Add the tomato paste and prepared horseradish and cook, stirring frequently, until it starts to brown, 1 to 2 minutes.6. Add the wine, bring it to a boil, and stir frequently to scrape the crud from the bottom of the pan (this is the big-money flavor). Continue cooking until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes.7. Return the ribs to the pan and add enough water to barely cover the meat. Toss in the bay leaves and thyme bundle, cover the pan with aluminum foil, and cook in the oven for 2.5 hours. Check the ribs every 45 minutes to make sure they are still covered in liquid; if the liquid has reduced too much, add more water. Turn the ribs after about 1 hour and continue cooking.8. Remove the foil during the last 20 minutes of cooking to let things get nice and brown and to let the sauce reduce. When the meat is done it should be very tender but not falling apart. To serve, remove the bay leaves and thyme bundle and spoon the sauce over the ribs and sprinkle with the chives and freshly grated horseradish for an extra kick.

Despite posting a net sales increase for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, PetSmart's comparable-store sales missed expectations thanks in part, according to president and CEO David Lenhardt, to a challenging and volatile consumer environment and a competitive market. The company has updated its guidance for the full year as a result.
While net sales for the quarter increased 1.1% to $1.7 billion, comparable store sales, or sales in stores open at least one year, including online sales, decreased 0.6%, with comparable transactions falling 2.2%. Services sales, which are included in net sales, grew 4.5% to $200 million.
All was not bad news, however. Earnings of $1.04 per share were up 6.1% compared to $0.98 per share in the first quarter of 2013. Net income increased 1.3% to $104 million, compared to $102 million in the first quarter of 2013.
"We are pleased with the company's ability to achieve earnings per share growth of 6.1% while continuing to drive earnings before tax margin expansion during the first quarter," said Lenhardt. "However, we did not achieve our sales goals, which were impacted by a challenging and volatile consumer environment and a competitive market."
Looking ahead, the company anticipates comparable-store sales for the full year to remain relatively flat, net sales growth in the low-single digits and earnings per share to range between $4.29 and $4.39. For the second quarter, the company anticipates comparable-store sales growth to remain flat or decrease slightly and earnings per share of $0.92 to $0.96.
PetSmart employs approximately 53,000 people and operates more than 1,340 pet stores in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, 200 in-store PetSmart PetsHotel dog and cat boarding facilities and is a leading online provider of pet supplies and pet care information.

Mike is taking part in the 2010 Ethiopian Coffee Roundtable in Addis Abada and the first ever Cupping Caravan program in Sidama/Yirgacheffe, which involves traveling in a 4x4 out to coffee lands to cup with farmers. A unique trip for Mike to gather with other coffee professionals to help determine the direction of Ethiopian coffee in the future.
This is a fantastic opportunity to source exclusive Ethiopian coffee. Last year Mike was able to snag a Natural Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, a clean, slightly bright red fruit fragrance with hints of citrus, berry, peach and pineapple. An Ethiopian Sidamo Schilcho Organic, a sweet and fruit-laced coffee with mild citrus, clean melon, pink grapefruit and hints of bergamot tea. And our well received Ethiopian Amaro Gayo, besides the chocolate and berry you have come to expect from our Ethiopian Natural, the Amaro melts in your mouth; it's like drinking melted cocoa butter, so smooth, buttery and creamy, plus its great as a Single Origin Espresso.

JPMorgan Bankers Lose Bid to Dismiss SEC Suit on Alabama Swaps
A federal judge denied a motion by two former JPMorgan Chase & Co. bankers to dismiss a Securities and Exchange Commission suit alleging a pay-to-play scheme in Jefferson County, Alabama, that allowed the bank to win almost $5 billion in bond and interest-rate swap business.
U.S. District Judge Abdul Kallon in Birmingham rejected arguments by Douglas MacFaddin, the former head of JPMorgan's municipal derivatives desk, and investment banker Charles LeCroy that the SEC doesn't have jurisdiction over interest-rate swaps. The unregulated derivatives were used by the county to lower borrowing costs on debt issued to rebuild its sewer system.
Kallon said it was too early in the case to resolve the question of whether the swaps were "security-based" and therefore subject to SEC oversight.
MacFaddin's and LeCroy's challenge to the SEC's jurisdiction failed because they relied on a disputed fact, that the swaps were based on an interest-rate index, rather than an index of securities, Kallon wrote in a 22-page opinion.
The SEC filed suit against the pair last year, alleging the New York-based bank made more than $8 million in undisclosed payments to friends of county commissioners. The associates owned or worked at local broker-dealer firms that didn't do any work on the deals, which have nearly bankrupted the county, the state's most populous.
Larry Langford, the former president of the Jefferson County Commission and former mayor of Birmingham, is serving 15 years in prison after being convicted of accepting $235,000 in designer clothes, Rolex watches and cash from an Alabama banker who was paid almost $3 million by JPMorgan.
The case is Securities and Exchange Commission v. Charles E. LeCroy and Douglas W. MacFaddin., 09-CV-02238, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama (Birmingham).

ODT Online
ODT /directory
Members of the public can from today view photos and details
of wanted people on the police website at www.police.govt.nz/wanteds
Police say people feature on the site either because they are
wanted for arrest or need to be identified in relation to a
crime, for example as a suspect or witness.
Police in Wellington and Eastern Districts are the first to
post to the new site section but all police districts are
expected to have access in about eight weeks.
National Crime Manager, Detective Superintendent Rod Drew
says the site is an additional tool for police to help track
down offenders.
"It's going to give us a much broader audience of people with
potential information about those we're looking for.
"We will still be using local media and Police Ten 7 to help
us track down people, but offenders can move about pretty
quickly, so having a national site gives us extra eyes out
there," Mr Drew said.
"NZ police has a high level of support from the public, which
we are grateful for. This is another way for people to help
us get offenders off the street."
The site has two sections, one for people who are wanted to
arrest on criminal charges and another for people who police
want to identify.
"The wanted to identify postings are people who police are
interested in speaking with in connection to a crime or
"These people may have been caught on CCTV cameras and we
will post a still shot of the footage on the site."
Not all people who are wanted by police will appear on the
site. An image will only be posted if there are reasons of
urgency, or the person cannot reasonably be located by other
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

Image Comics has released a second teaser image for Robert Kirkman and Rob Liefeld's heavily-hyped and highly-anticipated collaboration,"The Infinite," this time focusing on Bo, the younger version of yesterday's teaser subject, Bowen. While not much is known about the character at this point, Liefeld told CBR in March that Bo is not simply a carbon-copy of his older self.
"Bowen is a man hell-bent on a mission. His strongest ally is himself. There are attributes we all had when were younger, some of which we wish we hadn't lost as we matured and settled in. Bo is a rottweiler in many ways, unharnessed, ready to be honed by Bowen. It's a great dynamic."
Indeed, Liefeld's description of the relationship between the time-crossed characters plays into today's teaser question which says, "You've taken my future and made it nothing more than your past...How can I live with that?"
