Inside the Bills:
Bills guard/center Kraig Urbik, who went down with a knee injury in last Saturday's game is out for this week, but fortunately won't be facing a long offseason rehabilitation.
Urbik told Buffalobills.com that he suffered a torn meniscus in his knee, which will require a clean up surgery. That procedure will be performed on Friday.
Urbik said he should be running again by mid-February.

Google--not necessarily 'more open than thou'
Google is perhaps the world's largest open-source company. That does not, however, make it the most open. Not even if Google says it's so.
The company is fond of believing itself different. And perhaps it is. For all of its stumbles over privacy concerns, it's still the company that insists it will "not be evil." I give its executives the benefit of the doubt that it really does want to be open, as revealed in a blog published Monday by Senior Vice President Jonathan Rosenberg.
But the irony of Google's position is that it'… Read more

Following the pointers in an ebay tech blog and a datastax developers blog, I model some event log data in Cassandra 1.2. As a partition key, I use "ddmmyyhh|bucket", where bucket is any number between 0 and the number of nodes in the cluster.
The Data model
cqlsh:Log> CREATE TABLE transactions (yymmddhh varchar, bucket int, rId int, created timeuuid, data map, PRIMARY KEY((yymmddhh, bucket), created) );
(rId identifies the resource that fired the event.) (map is are key value pairs derived from a JSON; keys change, but not much)
I assume that this translates into a composite primary/row key with X buckets per hours. My column names are than timeuuids. Querying this data model works as expected (I can query time ranges.)
The problem is the performance: the time to insert a new row increases continuously. So I am doing s.th. wrong, but can't pinpoint the problem.
When I use the timeuuid as a part of the row key, the performance remains stable on a high level, but this would prevent me from querying it (a query without the row key of course throws an error message about "filtering").
Any help? Thanks!
Switching from the map data-type to a predefined column names alleviates the problem. Insert times now seem to remain at around <0.005s per insert.
The core question remains: How is my usage of the "map" datatype in efficient? And what would be an efficient way for thousands of inserts with only slight variation in the keys.
My keys I use data into the map mostly remain the same. I understood the datastax documentation (can't post link due to reputation limitations, sorry, but easy to find) to say that each key creates an additional column -- or does it create one new column per "map"?? That would be... hard to believe to me.

Social Life at Bucknell
You'll always find something to do at Bucknell. From all-campus functions, such as bands, casino nights, hypnotists, theme weekends, festivals, and formal dances to smaller programs such as coffeehouses, comedians, and movies, you'll find many social activities to choose from every weekend.
Each weekend, you'll dance to live bands and DJs at Bucknell's student-run entertainment venue, "Uptown." If you want something a little quieter, you can have a cup of coffee with your friends at the Seventh Street Café, which schedules live music on the weekends.
A weekend shuttle will take you to a nearby mall for shopping and movies on the weekends, or you can walk downtown to the Campus Theatre for a movie and popcorn.
Many students find their social life centers around club activities. For example, the Outing Club schedules weekend hikes and ski trips. Some of the multicultural and international organizations schedule trips to nearby restaurants or even head to New York City for weekend trips to museums and plays.

I keep hearing of more restaurants making the change from frying food in vegetable oil to more healthful oils. Take, for instance, locally owned Mojo Burrito. A year ago, owner Eve Williams made the switch. Mojo's tortilla chips are now fried in soy oil. And look toward Wendy's, which will soon be doing the same.
In a move that significantly reduces trans fatty acids on its menu, the burger giant is making the switch beginning the first of August to non-hydrogenated cooking oil for its french fries and breaded chicken items. As a result, the breaded chicken sandwich will have no trans fat and, depending on the size, the fries will range from zero to 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving. Kids meals will have no trans fats, as well.
Trans fats, by the way, are found in foods fried in hydrogenated oils, such as pure vegetable oil, that clog arteries and do other yucky things to your insides. In the ideal life, we need no trans fats at all to survive, but if you must have them, the American Dietetic Association says on its Web site, www.eatright.org, that we should have no more than two grams of trans fats per week.
So, the next time you pick up that bag of potato chips, think light. I recently picked up a bag of Lay's Light chips with zero fat of any kind. And they're as good as the regular chip. Wonder how they did that? It's in all those fast fried foods that you'll find enough trans fat to clog you up for good.

Comments about Redken Real Control Crema Care, 8.5 fl oz:
I use this as a leave-in conditioner and detangler. I use it on my towel dried hair before I blowdry. I have naturally wavy/frizzy hair and blow it straight every time. This makes my hair really soft and managable, even when I decide to leave it wavy and not blowdry. I have gone through several containers of this and hope they don't discontinue it, I use it every day! (hair-wash day that is)
Comment on this review
Apply to clean, towel-dried hair. Leave in. Style as usual.

The Post-Speights Era Begins in New Orleans
Jan 4, 2012, 7:38 PM EDT
There may be some long faces on the Philadelphia 76ers' sideline tonight
as a result of the team's recent trade of backup power forward Marresse
Speights for a couple second-round picks—particularly Lou Williams,
Mo's three-season partner in second-unit play and general internet
tomfoolery. Nonetheless, the team must soldier on without their 2008
first-rounder, and they begin the healing process with their fifth game
of the year tonight, in New Orleans against the 2-3 Hornets.
Orleans, in a rebuilding year after trading start point guard Chris
Paul in the off-season, got off to a dynamite start to '11-'12, beating
the Suns on a late-game jumper by likely new face of the franchise Eric
Gordon in their opener, and then blowing out the visiting Celtics in
their second game. But it's been tough sledding for the Hornets since,
with consecutive losses to lackluster conferences foes Phoenix,
Sacramento and Utah, all without Gordon, who was out with a sore knee.
Gordon should be back in the lineup tonight, in time to catch the Sixers
off their longest period of rest until the all-star break (three whole
days!), after handily dispatching the Warriors in Oaktown on New Year's
Eve. The Sixers were lights out in that contest, shooting a stunning
11-20 from three, including a combined 7-9 from Lou Williams and sudden
deep threat Andre Iguodala, who has hit multiple threes in every game
thusfar. Philly now has a chance to finish their opening road trip with a
winning record, and to move above .500 for the first time this season,
as they close out their Western Conference swing in the Big Easy.
To do it, they'll need to get more out of their two-guard position.
Starting SG Jodie Meeks has been abysmal to start the season, shooting
36% from the field and 23% from deep, and while you'd think that would
re-ignite the starter controversy between Jodie and Evan Turner, the
Extraterrestrial hasn't been that much better, shooting 39% and
averaging four fouls in barely 25 minutes of PT a game. With Spencer
Hawes looking more and more legit as our team's starting pivot—his 12
boards last night gave him double-digits for four consecutive games for
the first time in his career, and he's averaging a double-double for the
season while shooting 68% from the field—we just need some solid two-guard play to be firing on all cylinders.
8:00 tip from New Orleans Arena. By the way, the Hornets were the third
team involved in that three-teamer shipping Mo Speights to the
Grizzlies, getting 2010 lottery swingman Xavier Henry from the Grizzlies
in exchange for sending the Sixers a second second-round pick. Works
for us.

Embattled Bigots:
On October 4, 1993, according to court records, Willis Carto received a
letter signed by four senior staff members of The Journal of Historical
Review (
Thomas Marcellus,
Mark Weber,
Ted O'Keefe and
Greg Raven)
announcing that the IHR was "firing" him. Although Carto, in a court
document, contended that he had "no inkling of their conspiracy to take
over," trouble between Carto and his staffers reportedly had been building
for some time. Carto's reputed highhandedness towards his employees and
associates appears to be the primary reason for his ouster, in addition to
several reasons listed by Marcellus in a court declaration, including:
Elisabeth Carto's purchase of a new Cadillac with IHR funds; Carto's
frugality in taking out an insufficient insurance policy (a 1984 fire had
destroyed the IHR warehouse and offices and the $50,000 insurance policy
purchased by Carto covered only a fraction of the damage); his skimping on
pay and health benefits; and his "launching and subsequent mishandling of
the reward offer" in the
Mel Mermelstein affair.
Marcellus asserted, moreover, that the primary point of contention rested
on the editorial direction of The Journal of Historical Review. To the
editorial staffs dismay, Carto allegedly wanted to reduce Holocaust denial
features -- the publication's stock in trade -- by 80%, eventually to
abandon the issue along with the name of the journal entirely. Furthermore,
Marcellus accused Carto of trying to turn the journal into a "racist"
and "Nazi" publication -- as if the IHR's Holocaust-denial agenda weren't
inherently anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi from the outset. Carto, of course,
denies the allegations against him and insists that the rebellious staff
members were manipulated by "sinister forces," as he put it in a letter
to Holocaust denier
Arthur Butz. This letter was included in a mailing
from Carto to IHR contributors and contained attacks on ADL and Mel
In light of the tension between Carto and the staffers, Marcellus and
O'Keefe decided to take the issue to the board of the
Legion for the Survival of Freedom, Inc., IHR's parent organization. According to the Los
Angeles Times (May 8, 1994) Marcellus described their decision in a court
"Having suffered Carto's machinations, hair-brained [sic]
schemes, mismanagement, insults and irrationality long enough, the senior
staff met to determine the course of action to stop Carto from taking harmful
actions." It was alleged that the Legion for the Survival of Freedom, Inc.,
had listed a corporate director who had been dead for five years; that the
board had never met, and that Willis Carto was the sole and controlling
voice in the corporation.
Most importantly, at stake in this controversy was over $10 million in
stock certificates bequeathed to the Legion by Jean Farrel, the granddaughter
of Thomas Edison. The summer before the October "coup," Marcellus reportedly
discovered a $100,000 bank order for Carto's
Liberty Lobby, drawn from the
Jean Farrel bequest. According to Marcellus, Carto directed his wife to set
up a corporation for the sole purpose of controlling the money and loaning
it back to the Legion -- thus making the Legion a less attractive target for
potential lawsuits. Because the IHR advertised itself as the Legion, the
senior staffers demanded control of the money Mrs. Farrel had bequeathed
to the parent company.
After discovering and exposing Carto's alleged business improprieties, the
staffers and their lawyer, William Hulsy, reportedly convinced two elderly
directors of the board of the Legion to resign. The remaining third member,
Thomas Kerr, appointed a new board which subsequently voted to terminate all
association with Carto. Kerr later contended that he was "misled as to the
facts" by the rebel staffers, and later rejoined the Cartos in a suit
against the Legion.

Ray Tye, philanthropist moved by plight of needy, dies at 87
Globe staff photo by John Tlumacki
Ray Tye was one of Boston's biggest philanthropists, but he didn't much care for the title, and he was even less interested in drawing public attention to his private donations.
The chairman emeritus of United Liquors gave away millions, often covering the medical expenses of people described in news stories as unable to afford life-saving care.
"He always did this quietly," said his wife, Eileen. "He never wanted his name chiseled into a hospital facade or put on a plaque."
He agreed to be the public face of the Ray Tye Medical Aid Foundation, established in his honor by his wife and friends, only because it might prompt others to contribute to the goodwill he saw as his life's work.
Mr. Tye died in his Cambridge home today of cancer. He was 87.
"Ray Tye was a great Bostonian and an even greater source of inspiration," Mayor Thomas M. Menino said in a statement. "He did so much for so many, always offering help to those that needed it the most. His legacy of helping children have a better life no matter what the circumstance -- whether they were from young people in Roxbury to kids in Afghanistan -- will not be forgotten. Ray cannot be replaced, but we can honor him by helping those in need. He always ended every conversation with, 'What can I do for you?' "
Among those who sought Mr. Tye's assistance was Dr. Larry Ronan of Massachusetts General Hospital, whose patients included Rakan Hassan, a 12-year-old boy accidentally shot by US troops in Iraq and critically injured in 2005. Mr. Tye paid the cost of bringing him to Boston for treatment.
Doctors turn to Boston's wealthiest when such cases arise, and Mr. Tye "certainly had to be the king of those people," Ronan said.
"His generosity was one of spirit, not just of pocketbook," Ronan said. "It wasn't just a charity for him, it had to be a relationship, and that's unique. He was deeply involved in the cases, he wanted to know about the patents and make sure their families were taken care of properly. And he would come to the hospital. He knew how to comfort people."
While many philanthropists prefer to work through intermediaries, Mr. Tye's approach was disarmingly personal, and often with no fanfare.
"With Ray, there was no bureaucracy or paperwork," Ronan said. "I never filled out any paperwork for the Ray Tye Medical Aid Foundation to get funds -- nothing."
Thus when a stray bullet killed 10-year-old Trina Persad in Dorchester in 2002, Mr. Tye quietly stepped in to pay for her funeral. And when he read that conjoined twins from Egypt were preparing to leave the United States because no money was available for surgery to separate them, he wrote a check for $100,000 the next day.
"They were going to be sent home to die," Mr. Tye told the Globe in 2007, a few years after the surgery that saved the boys. "I'm so proud to be able to say we helped."
"Ray Tye never stopped caring," John Fernandez, president and CEO of Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, said in a statement. "Thanks to his generosity, in 2003 a young man from Ecuador who sustained a gun shot wound to his face received treatment here at Mass Eye and Ear to restore his ability to eat, drink, and speak. Since then, Mr. Tye enabled more than 25 patients to receive advanced treatment that they would not have been able to obtain elsewhere. He used to say, 'When you save a life, you save a future.' Ray Tye saved many futures."
Mr. Tye's money also helped ensure the future of Boston institutions. Last year, he gave the Boston Public Library, which he served as a trustee, $27,500 so the main branch at Copley Square wouldn't have to close its doors for five Sundays in a budget-cutting move. And when the Boston Celtics couldn't make payroll in the team's early years, Mr. Tye helped his friend Red Auerbach cover that bill, too.
"In the Jewish tradition, we say about someone who has passed away, 'May his memory be a blessing,' " said Barry Shrage, president of Combined Jewish Philanthropies in Boston. "This man's presence was a blessing to the Jewish community and the general community every day of his life."
A. Raymond Tye was born in Haverhill, the second of three children. His father, an immigrant from Kosovo, made shoes, and the family changed its last name from Tikotsky to Tye at his mother's behest.
Mr. Tye, who went by Ray since childhood, began his charitable giving when he lived in a three-decker apartment house with his family.
"He talked about how they'd go up the back stairs and there would be little boxes for charity and he'd put change in," said his son Mark of Aspen, Colo.
Mr. Tye graduated from Haverhill High School and went to what was then Tufts College, where he planned to study to become a social worker.
"I worked my way through a portion of college living in Norfolk House, which was a settlement house," he told the Boston Herald in 1985. Children from broken homes came for occupational therapy and recreation, he recalled in that interview.
World War II intervened, and Mr. Tye joined the Army, serving as a first lieutenant in the military police and as an adjutant to General George S. Patton. He was wounded during the war, and after returning home he worked for his family before taking a job with United Liquors, which then was a small operation in Boston with three trucks and 30 workers.
Mr. Tye rose from warehouse worker to salesman, sales manager, general sales manager, and, in 1957, president of the company.
He became chairman emeritus of United Liquors when the company was sold to the Martignetti family in October 2006.
"An extension of our family was the United Liquors family," said his son James of Rio de Janeiro. "He never said no to anybody."
If a worker was sick or had an ill relative, he said, Mr. Tye would arrange for the best medical care and often cover the cost of treatment. A natural extension was helping those outside his families at home and at work.
"I said to him, 'Ray, you did become a social worker, your goals have been met,' " his wife said.
"He did everything without any publicity or any acknowledgement," Ronan said. "That wasn't important to him. What was important was that the patients got taken care of."
Mr. Tye was awarded an honorary doctorate from St. Joseph's College in Standish, Maine. In 1994, the 50th anniversary of the college class Mr. Tye left to serve in the Army, Tufts awarded him a bachelor of arts degree.
His first marriage, to Rosalyne Burg, ended in divorce. Their son Michael, a winemaker who also worked for United Liquors, died in 2003 of multiple myeloma.
For about a decade, he was chairman of Boston's Water and Sewer Commission. A life member of the NAACP, Mr. Tye served on the boards of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston Medical Center, Schepens Eye Research Institute, and Tufts Medical Center.
Mr. Tye married Eileen O'Toole 21 years ago, and a couple of years before his 80th birthday, she wanted to do "something that would keep his generous heart and his generous helping hands open to future generations." Seeking assistance and $2 million in financial contributions from family and friends, she created the Ray Tye Medical Aid Foundation as an 80th birthday present.
"My philosophy," Mr. Tye told the Herald in 1985, "is what you take out of this world you put back in."
"He really changed the world, and there's not a lot of people you can say that about," said his son Mark. "He really did change the world."
In addition to his wife and two sons, Mr. Tye leaves two other children from his first marriage, his daughters Carol Rose of Lakewood, Colo., and Randy O'Brien of North Easton; a stepdaughter, Lauren Cronin of Wellesley; and five grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Monday in Congregation Mishkan Teflia in Chestnut Hill. Burial will be in Children of Israel Cemetery in Haverhill.

We consider systems which exhibit a mixture of smooth behavior and occasional jumps, controlled by continuous-time Markovian processes on a finite state space, and we call these fluid queues with jumps, thereby emphasizing the fact that they constitute a generalization of fluid queues. We characterize their stationary distribution in an algorithmically tractable way by constructing an auxiliary fluid queue without jumps. We give a few examples to illustrate the procedure and we analyze in detail a buffer model where bursts of high priority traffic interrupt the transmission of low priority files.

Disclaimer: If I owned them, there would be a lot more Tony and Ziva happening. That is all I'm saying. Title, and references to it within, is stolen from Emily Dickinson poem of the same name. I don't own that, either. Also, there's a line cribbed from Casablanca in here. Bonus points to anyone who spots it; hey, I can't help that Tony thinks in movie quotes sometimes!
A.N.: This has been languishing on my hard drive for a while. Hope everyone is in the mood for a little pre-Turkey Day angst fest (for those in the States, otherwise just an angsty Thursday!). It's yet another fic that explains what our favorite duo went through over the summer. Spoilers up through Truth or Consequences. Big hugs and thanks and dreams of MW to Ana for offering help and encouragement on this!
Hope is the thing with feathers
She holds out for a long time. This does not surprise her.
What was it that one of her Mossad instructors said? Stubborn as a bull? There was a time when she would outlast all of her teammates because there is no worse pain than the sharp sting of failure. Israel above all else, her father always said. What is a little blood, sweat, agony in comparison to the survival of your people?
You only have one life to sacrifice, my daughter, he'd said. Make sure you are worthy.
A thought strikes her suddenly, more violently than the pistol whipped across her face: This is it. This is what you've been doing your whole life. You haven't been living; you've been preparing to die.
The revelation is a reprieve from the pain. On the strength of its wings, she is lifted high above her dusty prison, far away from sickening crunch of breaking bone and tearing skin. It is loneliness. It is freedom. She is a good soldier, always has been.
Be worthy of this sacrifice.
She is thousands of miles away from those who would beg her to live.
Her last memories are of those who would send her to die and their eyes shine with approval.
Her absence hovers around the edge of his awareness. Consciously, minute-to-minute, he reminds himself, Ziva is gone.
Ziva is gone. Ziva made her choice. Ziva left us. She left me.
The words loop through his mind so he never really forgets.
But, no, that's not entirely true. I do forget. But then he turns to tell her a joke or show-off a sketch or just take in the confident way she stands down danger, and she isn't there and he remembers all over again.
It's like being knocked off-balance. Each time it hits him, the concept throws him for a loop. She's really gone. You can look for her all you want, DiNozzo, but she won't be there. Hours pass where he feels like he's just scrambling for the right footing, those thoughts buzzing through his mind and sending him reeling. Like he's just trying not to fall down.
So, he goes about his days trying to ignore the dull ache in his chest. It's a minor annoyance, really. He tells himself she'll call when she's ready and then he can get himself good and mad about the way she left him. Them.
He smiles because they expect him to smile. He laughs because that's what he does. And if his jokes fall flat, no one seems to notice because they are too busy actively ignoring the big, gaping hole in their team.
Every day when he wakes up, he hopes that today will be the day Ziva David realizes what she left behind. He hopes that today will be the day he won't be surprised that she's gone.
They rip her body apart, but what of it? Her mind remains strong, focused, even as she forgets what it means to feel whole. She is here, there, and everywhere but at the mercy of the ones who will try and break her. They try to call her back to her present, where her eyes water against the burn of their cigarettes, their sunlight, their clawing hands, but she forges her own reality instead.
It is surprising how much pain the body can tolerate if one knows how to take it. They don't want her dead, not before they get their answers. They…he…knows just how much blood can be shed before the bliss takes over and how little water is needed to sustain life. Torture is an art form and Saleem is a true artist. His methods are sound, predictable but stylish. She respects this about him.
Respect is a passive emotion; it requires so little energy.
Fear. Hatred. Regret. Longing. Anger. Guilt. Love.
Now those are the ones that take work. States of being that scatter the soul and wound the heart.
Respect is better. Dignity. Acceptance.
She can't bring herself to feel much more than that.
It's only her body that they are stealing. Only flesh and bone and muscle that will die, turn to dust, and remain here, in this dark place. Let them have it.
Her secrets stay safe, wrapped in her disposable tissue, tucked in the darkest corners of her mind, ready to be carried off in the wind.
You are here to die, Ziva.
What else is there to do but accept it? Who will come for her now?
It's just not normal.
It's been too long.
If before missing Ziva was an ache now it's positively a pain and he doesn't know how to deal with it.
She wouldn't just leave us like this. Even if she hates me, fine, but she wouldn't just leave everyone else.
It doesn't feel right.
Nothing feels right.
He missed her those months he was afloat; he worried about her. But even in his emotional hole, he could pretend that everything would work out in the end. He talked to her picture at night, considered the arch of her eyebrow as she condemned his behavior with little more than a frozen look, and had faith that he'd see her again.
Now he isn't so sure.
He dreams about her all the time. He wakes up with fire pouring through his veins, clutching at the memory of her thighs pressed so tightly against his in a fact act of love. He finds his sheets soaked through with sweat. His heart pounds out her name and he curses her betrayal in the darkness. He feels her looming over him, gun bruising his chest, and doesn't understand the electricity that courses through that memory.
He hates her at the same time he longs for her, craves her.
Bourbon helps to dull his memories and regret. He pretends he still cares about movies and girls and fast cars but really he finds he spends most nights nursing a bottle of booze and staring at the white walls of his apartment. He thinks maybe he should learn how to build something.
Guilt is his constant companion; its strings are easily plucked at the slightest reminder of his partner, emotion resonating through his body for days.
He picks up the phone to call her a dozen times and he can't decide if he's more afraid that she can't answer or that she won't.
Every time he closes his eyes he's graced with the perfect curve of her smile.
That Saleem lets her have hope is perhaps the cruelest torture of all.
Hope is the thing with feathers.
She remembers learning that line once, so many years ago. The rest of the poem is lost to her now. She tries to retrieve it from the recesses of her mind. She contemplates words and tries to make them fit, tries to recreate the rhythm of the poem and the image it painted in her mind but none of them ever feel quite right.
Hope is the thing with feathers.
Brittle fingers trace the dirt wall of her cell. One lone beam of sunlight keeps time for her and gives her a hint of the outside world. She stares at that thin line until it means nothing to her. She waits for the light to flicker, to show any sign of life outside, that someone or something has interrupted the unimaginable distance between her and the sun. But she remains alone.
She pictures a blue sky. Birds and clouds. Sunshine that warms her skin.
There are no birds here.
No hope either.
I am ready to die.
There were no survivors, Gibbs says, and Tony's world folds in on itself.
He thinks the feeling should be more cataclysmic than this. He expects to feel his heart being torn from his chest, air being punched from his lungs. But, no, Gibbs pronounces her dead and his reaction is no more complex than the flick of a switch.
There were no survivors.
There is no sound, no color. No power to see beyond this single moment in time.
Abby's arms encircle him; her tears wet his shoulder. McGee's eyes speak lines of sympathy. And then there is Ducky and Palmer, trying their best. Their hands proclaim solidarity on his back and urge solace in a glass.
Gibbs just gives him a knowing look and it's that exchange that nearly sends Tony to his knees.
It's no use, guys. I'm already drowning. I'm not worth saving. Just let me be.
The day-to-day tedium of life seems so far removed from him. He brushes his teeth, drops his suits off at the dry cleaners, solves cases, and yet can hardly remember if or when he ate breakfast.
There is no color in his life. No sound save a constant humming that no one else seems to hear.
He hates himself for not realizing it before. He hates himself for letting her get away so easily, not doing more to protect her from those who would make her a pawn in some stupid spy game.
He wonders how he could keep her so distant when she fit so well against him.
The fever dreams begin. The end is near.
Hope, that damned bird, takes flight in her mind. But no…. that's not hope, that's regret and guilt for the choices she has made, for the things she tossed aside so carelessly. She tries to feel nothing again, but she has lost all resolve and, unleashed, the emotions crash over her like waves.
This is her punishment.
Her blood, her sweat, her tears, and the constant, stabbing, throbbing ache of life that refuses to abandon her is her penance.
Let me die, let me die.
But Gibbs comes to her, eyes the color of summer, and passes a calloused hand over her brow. She closes her eyes against the touch, against the warmth on her clammy skin. She does not deserve it and yet something in the air around him (a hint of sawdust, the power of his posture) makes her body shake with barren sobs.
Live, dammit! Abby's voice rises to the top of her dusty cell and, for once, the jingle of chains doesn't make her flinch. Abby's arms are firm and comforting as they pull her close. And then Tali's there, too, and Ziva remembers what it's like to feel loved unconditionally. No, that's not true. Ziva regrets not accepting what it feels like to be loved unconditionally.
I'm sorry, Ziva whispers into the stifling night air. I deserve this.
Ducky's grin slants at her, an awkward angle. And there's Palmer, too, with his eager eyes. Their skilled fingers tend to her wounds, clinical words assure her that life will go on. That Saleem's keeping her just alive enough to suffer. Just alive enough to think.
Please let me die, she asks of them. And for nights and nights the only sound in the dark is her shallow breath. Surely each one will be her last. Hopefully.
McGee wakes her up one morning with the weight of his stare. His smile is easy, open, and she confesses her sins starting all the way back at the beginning. He listens. When her voice finally abandons her, she presses her body flat against her cell wall and tries to remain perfectly still.
She has nothing more to give. There is so little left. Let them have it. Let me die here in peace.
Hope is the thing with feathers.
She laughs. What a silly thing to say.
One day the buzzing stops. It's then he realizes that he won't accept this reality.
She cannot be dead. She can't be.
Because if she were dead, well and truly gone, he is sure he'd know. He is sure he would feel it somehow. Isn't that how it works? Wouldn't Ziva David, of all people, find someway to sway her spiritual ass in his direction?
He's half crazy with grief. He hasn't slept in weeks. He's probably semi-drunk, maybe only halfway sober.
He tries to lose himself in the creamy skin of another woman because, after all, isn't sex Anthony DiNozzo's drug of choice? But the hair that tangles in his fingers is the wrong color and the chuckle in his ear isn't throaty enough. Another woman's body pulls him in, warm with comfort and slick with desire, but it isn't enough.
Will anyone ever be enough?
Home before the sun rises, he finds himself laughing in the shower. The phantom hands of a lover he's never truly known caress his skin and when he turns to her, when he loses himself in Ziva's eyes (alive, like always, and brimming with secrets), he knows then that there is no him without her anymore.
He wishes he could remember what it felt like to fall in love with her.
She doesn't forget Tony. Doesn't block him out of her mind, though not for lack of trying.
He is her constant.
He is there, watching, when they bruise her skin. She holds his gaze; she tries to measure the weight of it as Saleem pokes and prods her. Some days she cries out for him; his name on her lips always a surprise when it returns to her ears. It is weeks before he takes her hand and traces her scars with reverent, healing fingers. His lips part in such a way that makes her tremble. She doesn't have the strength to fight, but in his eyes she finds a material that fuels her.
He is there, so close, but always too far. She reaches out to him, but then in a glimmer, in a trick of light, he is gone.
She wants to die. She spends days, weeks, contemplating suicide, but Saleem gives her no means or opportunity. And she won't give him the satisfaction of asking for his mercy.
Live for me, are the only words Tony ever says to her.
She will not lie to him ever again, she decides. I would live for you Tony. I did live for you. But not any longer.
It hurts too much. Please let me die. I am ready.
And then her eyes flutter closed as he wraps his arms around her and brings her home. Her body goes slack with relief.
I love you, she whispers into the dust, and I don't think you ever realized that.
Forgive me. I was wrong. I am sorry.
She knows it's not really his scent that she's inhaling or the sweep of his hands on her heated skin. She knows she is all alone here. There is no Tony, no McGee, no Gibbs, or Abby, or Ducky, or Palmer. She is alone and she will die alone. It's only fitting.
Tony whispers nonsense into her ear and she curls into his phantom embrace.
A breath and then he is gone.
Something flutters in her chest, takes flight, and then there is acceptance.
His life is all forward momentum now. He's headed for one spectacular crash, but honestly—fuck it.
Somewhere inside he should care that he's drawn McGee into this. Tony doesn't much care anymore if he lives or dies, but Tim is his friend and deserves better. After making the arrangements for their trip to Africa, he spends the rest of the morning putting his affairs in order. If McSidekick survives, he gets the bulk of his movie collection plus his home theater equipment. Also some porn, because how else will the Probie learn?
Feeling strangely happy, he finds himself whistling as he packs. He tucks one of his well-worn bikini photos of Ziva in his pocket. Before he folds her image in two, his finger traces the shape of her body.
Later, when he tastes the desert sand in his mouth, there is no fear. When Saleem's men manhandle him into his cell, there is only relief.
Finally, this is what it feels like to be alive.
This is it. This is the end.
Saleem shoves a cloth sack over her head and drags her from the room. Anger radiates from him, a heat that simmers on his skin, and it's the first time she's felt him lose control. She closes her eyes, not that it makes a difference in the darkness, and offers up a silent prayer for forgiveness. She asks that no one will ever have to know of her time here or of the horrors she's endured. She welcomes the sweet release of death.
But then the sack is wrenched from her head, and she's rendered nearly blind by the unforgiving light, but she swears, swears it is Tony sitting in front of her.
I am dreaming. I am hallucinating.
Tony lights up at the sight of her, eyes the sultry color of foreign seas. His lips curl up and his shoulder falls just so. Beads of sweat traverse the rocky terrain of his features and she has to blink to be sure he isn't a mirage.
I am dead and this is my hell.
Pain flares in her chest and she can't tell if it's her body or her heart that is more broken. She chokes on her breath.
Tony is here. Real Tony or her Tony? Her Tony is not dirty and sweaty and sarcastic. Her Tony never looks at her with such disbelief, with such amazement, that she swears she can see straight through the ocean of his eyes and into his soul.
Why must you torture me so, Tony? She wants to scream. You are not real!
But he is real. Wonderfully, beautifully real and his lips are chapped and his face is bloody and she cannot breathe because he is here and this was not how it was supposed to happen.
Hope blossoms in her chest; life unfolds its promises before her. She was ready to die but now Tony is sitting, a prisoner, before her. This is not her angel of death, but a cruel reminder of life. Or perhaps some cosmic form of punishment, her worst nightmare come true: Tony (and, oh god, she can smell him and see his pulse throbbing in his neck and remember all too well the solid strength of his body) will die before her eyes, before her, and then McGee, who came here for her, too, and if she had any will left in her at all…
Can you fight, Ziva? He asks her, the man who cannot live without her and would allow himself to be captured and tortured and put to death just to avenge her name…
Surely it is the only tear she has to spare that escapes down her cheek. Her heart constricts in protest. I cannot, I cannot, is all she thinks, please let me die. But that fluttering thing roots in her chest and makes her strong. For one brief, glorious moment she thinks it will be enough to carry them up and out of this hell.
The blade against her flesh is familiar; the look of horror on Tony's face is not.
It's okay, she wants to say, I forgive you. Please forgive me.
We will die together now. She blinks her acceptance of this. Of what she never wanted to happen, not ever. She both hates him and loves him so much that she thinks the power of the emotions will kill her first.
Why did you have to come here? Have I not done enough? Do I need your blood on my hands, too?
She locks eyes with him, determined that his face be the last thing she sees before she dies. She couldn't ask for anything more, except: let him live, please, let him live.
Then, a miracle from the sky.
For a long moment, he forgets how to breathe. In brilliant Technicolor, Ziva appears before him: purple bruises, ashen skin, and despair so black it nearly suffocates him. The gasp that escapes her lips reminds him that air is a necessity and slowly his world begins to turn again.
You should not have come, she says in a voice without life.
He wants to laugh. He wants to cry. Truths threaten to spill from his lips.
And isn't this what he wanted? Ziva, his Ziva, beautiful, alive and with a flame still burning somewhere underneath all that apathy and grime.
He defaults to sarcasm and is elated at her response. There's the fire, the strength, of this astounding woman. Whatever hell he's found Ziva in, he knows that it has to be okay now because she is alert enough to sense McGee, wise enough to call his bullshit, and wicked enough to press him for answers.
I love you, he wants to say but because those three little words can hardly encompass the significance of this moment, and all of the ones that have come before it, they are easily suppressed.
I couldn't live without you, he tells her. It's the truth. But now he has no reason to die, not when he's been given a gift he never dared to ask for. He can't let her down now. He won't.
I need you, Ziva. Please, fight for me. Fight for us.
He tells Saleem he's not afraid and it's true. Ziva tries to cut him down with sharp words and pieces of her heart tossed at his feet. He doesn't care if she's lost all hope because he has enough for the both of them. Though the panic that flares her nostrils when he tells her tales of their rescue and the horror that explodes in her eyes as Saleem threatens her life are a sick comfort to him because it means she still wants to live. Somewhere, deep down, there are promises to be made.
He's not afraid because failure is not a possible outcome now. There is life and there is death. Either they make it out alive, or he dies. Simple as that. There is a future now with Ziva in it, or there is no future.
You have 30 seconds to live, Saleem, he promises and sits back and waits for fate to take a hand.
Time was irrelevant for so long. There was no before or after, no ribbon of moments unfurling its promises and regrets. There was just the impossible weight of now, nothing and everything surrounding her: nights and hours and breaths blending together, a static existence in a field of white.
Now, the constraint of linear time collapses on her and snaps life back into order: guns flashing, men falling, freedom at last, and steady arms supporting weakened limbs.
It is with disbelief that she allows Tony and McGee to lead her away from her death sentence. Tony's hand comes up to close over hers; one second explodes into a lifetime as he brushes his thumb across her skin. She finds she has more tears after all. And then it's the beat, beat, beat of her heart that marks the forward march of reality. The earth groans as it begins to turn beneath her again.
How long has it been? How fast can time pass?
She's been here forever, but as she sags against her partners, she feels her time in the desert filter through her mind like so much sand.
Then Gibbs is there, her savior as always.
The last thing she remembers before the blackness takes over is the lovely sound of her name on Tony's lips.
High in the sky, he watches her sleep.
His heart chooses now to beat uncontrollably, anxiety the most pedestrian emotion he's felt in awhile.
What happens now? Where do we go from here?
Questions about an unpredictable future run rampant in his mind.
He quiets them by choosing to focus on the steady rise and fall of her chest. Proof of life. He's supposed to be strapped into a seat now, protecting himself from turbulence. Instead, he's standing guard over a sleeping Ziva and hoping his heavy gaze will chase her nightmares away.
His hand hovers over hers and it takes all of his willpower not to test the solid presence of her skin. Though she allowed him to carry her out of that prison, it was hard to miss the caged look in her eyes or the way she recoiled at the slightest perceived threat.
I know you're broken, Ziva, but I will spend the rest of my life putting you back together if that's what you need.
Satisfied with this unspoken vow, he settles into the nearest seat to maintain his vigil. But not before he gives in and allows himself to brush a limp curl from her face. For the barest second, Ziva stiffens at his touch but when he murmurs words of comfort, she settles again.
Her mouth forms a sound and, as he watches her sleep, he pretends it's his name.
It gives him hope.

this is the finish...
Among the teams rumored to have interest in Jackson are the Dallas Mavericks, Chicago Bulls and, of course, the Los Angeles Lakers. All three are a lock for the playoffs but, at one point or another, felt like they needed a spark at the guard position.
Sources say Dallas expressed interest in Jackson shortly after Caron Butler went down with a season-ending knee injury in early January. The Mavs interest faded shortly thereafter due to the high price they would have had to pay for the 32-year old shooting guard (Butler's expiring, cash and a pick was likely the ceiling for Dallas) and now, coming off of a 10-game winning streak, it appears their infatuation with Jackson is over.
In late December it appeared Chicago was interested in the Bobcats' swingman, but the Bulls purportedly didn't want to surrender Taj Gibson as a part of the deal to pick up Jackson, and feel there are better, younger options on the market such as the Nuggets' J.R. Smith and the Grizzlies O.J. Mayo.
The Lakers were rumored to have discussed the prospect of sending the struggling Ron Artest and cash to the Bobcats for Jackson, but now the word is L.A. is trying to swing a trade for Carmelo Anthony.
This is not going to happen.
If Denver refused the reported haul of Derrick Favors, Devin Harris, two 1st round picks and Troy Murphy's expiring from the New Jersey Nets before the start of the season, why would they settle now by dealing 'Melo for a package centered around an injury-riddled Andrew Bynum?
This is true especially now considering that Anthony has agreed to mull over the Nuggets' proposed contract extension, which in turn gives Denver even more leverage in any trade negotiations.
Which brings us back to the Bobcats and Jackson. The Lakers could upgrade at the three position by swapping an underachieving Artest -- averaging career lows in both points (8.1) and rebounds (3.1) -- for a similar player in Jackson that is having a far superior season.
In turn, Charlotte would rid themselves of what seems to be a disgruntled Jackson on a team going nowhere and gain a player in Artest who is just as capable as a scorer and is a better defender than Jackson. Both players would get fresh starts in a new environment, with Artest having the possibility of riding in and leading the Bobcats back into playoff contention.
It's also widely known that Artest, so that has to help, right?
Still, this is a lop-sided trade by any stretch of the imagination. Jackson is a clear upgrade over Artest at small forward for L.A., and the Lakers' forward doesn't seem to figure into the plans of a Charlotte team likely looking to go back to the drawing board.
For the Bobcats to consider a trade with Artest and Jackson as the main pieces, Los Angeles would have to take a bloated contract or two from Charlotte [perhaps DeSagana Diop's 2 yrs, nearly $6.5 mill per] or willing to sacrifice a young player in exchange. Shannon Brown would be attractive to the Bobcats because of his age (25), contract (1 year, $2,149,200) and upside, but Brown would have to OK the trade due to his Bird Rights.
One option would be Jackson straight up for Brown and Artest, which works numbers wise, but its unknown whether the Lakers want to give up that much in a package to get Capt. Jack. Los Angeles also has a $5,475,113 trade exception from the Sasha Vujacic trade in mid-December, so that also would seem to broaden the dialogue between the two teams.
It would be a plan B move for the Lakers when they miss out on 'Melo, but it seems that a trade to Los Angeles would be the only way Jackson moves to a contender by Feb. 24.

NOTE: Please watch the Youtube version for better sound! The sound will be better in the next cartoon.
I was wondering if I should upload this here. It's not my best work, as I rushed this, and I couldn't use a Cintiq during the time. But hey, it's here, so whatever.
One of the people who auditioned to voice for Doggy did such a good job rambling about cartoons, I decided to make that into a cartoon review series. This is one of three episodes that have been recorded, with hopefully more on the way.

Rated 4 / 5 stars December 4, 2012
Not wrong back in the day. But its slowly degraded. Nowadays this toon would be wrong, but the toon wasn't made this year so I can't complain about it lol.

Despite the fact that they have been running for alot of time, they are still going to this day. I have lost doubt that they will lose content before people lose interest in their show.
Rated 4 / 5 stars November 26, 2012
Though the Simpsons is just..terrible now, I think I can get into your animations. Loved this.
Rated 5 / 5 stars October 1, 2012
and when they run out of jokes they will make newer versions of the old shows that peaple who were born when the show was on its 12 or 13 year. They wont watch the old ones cuz it looks like it looks old. There is a slight change in animation over the time.
