South Loop: Chicago's original Gold Coast in the late 19th century, it was the introduction of Central Station in the mid 1990s that brought the South Loop its own renaissance. Over the past decade the South Loop has experienced unprecedented growth, from lofts development in Printers Row and the Motor Row Historic District to the new construction high-rises of Museum Park.
South Loop residents benefit from proximity to the Loop, Museum Campus, Soldier Field and the lakefront; great access to transportation; and incredible views of the lake and skyline.

I long fantasy, enjoy!
I'm Giles. 17 years old, almost 18. Not quite 6 foot tall. Somewhat fit, but too lazy in P.E. to get any better. Naturally good build. A little too skinny, I think. My only sibling, Janice is about to turn 14 in a few months.

Sister wants to learn - Chapter 1-3
Janice wants to learn and I watch her masturbate.
I was banging away on the keyboard when I heard my door open. I knew it was Janice, as no one else was home. The parents were out and wouldn't be back until late in the evening.
I instantly yelled "Hey! When will you learn to knock, squirt?".
"I heard you at the computer, so I knew you weren't jacking off.".
"What? I know you do it all the time. Our rooms share a wall.".
"Oh shush up. I need you to help me. Uh…".
"Help you with what?"
She fidgeted and played with the hem of her shirt. She looked down at the floor. I waited. She had something on her mind. It was kind of cute watching her struggle with whatever she had inside that little blond head.
"Well I need to know about sex. There. I said it.".
She was standing with her hands on her hips kind of daring me to sass her. She was fighting her nervousness with that false bravado of hers. Kind of cute. Especially since I could see through it so easily.
"Whoa there, Nellie. Pull in the reins. No fight here. Ya just caught me a bit off guard. Talk to Mom or Dad. Gees. It's their job to give you the sex talk thing. You can go through it just like I had to.".
"I can tell you liked that talk so much. Yes, you enjoyed that just so much. They probably tried to talk to you without saying the things you needed to know. Now I want…no I need to know.".
"OK. Why do you need to know, punk? Where's the fire? Who's the snot nosed punk trying to get into your pants?".
"It's no one. No one yet anyways. I want to… I want to know what it is all about before I have to deal with a boyfriend.".
"Why me? Gees. You're my sister. This is kind of weird. Why not talk to your friends. Find one that is already…well…having sex.".
"Got no one in that category, if you must know. You've already had two girlfriends. You know about sex! You know all about it. Help me. Teach me.".
I looked at her. She had dropped her hands off her hips. I looked at her. Yes, she was starting to get boobs. And I knew she already had bras. I did the laundry when it was my turn and Mom's bras are much bigger than Janice's. Her under clothes were getting a bit more risque. Trying to be adult. I had barely got over handling Mom's bras when hers started to come into the basket. A guy could get a complex or something.
"Aw gees, kid. This is going to get weird. I just know it. Uh… OK… What do you want to know? Shit!".
"Don't get all up and mighty and stop cussing.".
"Well if we are going to talk about sex, you had better get prepared for dirty words. I will use them as I see fit. Still game, squirt?".
"OK. Well. Does it feel good? Who starts? Why the tongue? And…".
"Whoa. Stop. Let me deal with one thing and then we can go on. Yes. It feels good. Damn good, with the right person. If nothing else, learn this. Sex feels good. But sex with someone you care about is way, way better. It ain't sex anymore. It's making love. And just having sex is a big thing. It throws a lot on you. Things you're not ready to deal with. Trust me on that one. I started too early. And…".
"I know you got caught. I heard all the yelling. And Mom and Dad just about turned the house into your private jail cell. I got a lot of shit during that time too -- care of you and Tracy. I remember. That is why I want to learn from you. Maybe avoid getting caught by Mom and Dad.".
"OK. It feels good. It surely does. That's why it's so important. Do you masturbate?".
"What?! I uh…".
I looked at her and knew the answer. She was red all over and trying hard to say no, but just couldn't get it out.".
"You wanted this, so tell me the truth when I ask questions or else get lost.".
Again she played with her shirt, looked at the floor, and said "Yes.".
"Yes what? Yes, you gonna tell me the truth or yes, you masturbate?".
"Yes. I masturbate. Ugly word. I play with myself.".
"Great. So you know how good it feels with just you. It goes way over the top with someone else. If that person isn't a complete lout that is. I had a couple of dates that went all the way and they shouldn't have. We were not gonna go out again. It was obvious. And in both cases, the girl was the one who pushed the sex. I would have almost felt better wanking off, than fucking them. It was empty and now I gotta look and talk to them at school. Real weird. Yeah. I wish I had said no and jacked off instead. Well…almost.".
I looked at her and saw her squirming. I wanted to push her buttons, just to push them. I'm her brother and bothers do that crap. I'm no exception. It's fun.
"Janice. How do you masturbate? Do you use toys? Just your fingers? Hairbrush? What?".
"What?!". I looked sternly at her and she remembered she had to tell me the truth. "I mostly use my fingers. I tried the hair brush, but it hurt. And I bled. How'd ya know about the hair brush?".
"I've read that girls use a hair brush. It's shaped about right and handy. Oh well that's actually good. You popped your hymen. All done with that. Have you tried any other things in your pussy?".
"Pussy. Cunt. Slit. Taco. Pick one. I favor pussy. Dirty enough. And still sexy. So have you shoved anything else up your pussy? Other than fingers and that hair brush.".
"Ok. Soooo do you play with your tits? Your clit? Or just stick 'em in and wiggle away?".
This is fun to tease her and she has to just take it.
"Oh god.". She was gonna wear out that shirt. "I play with my breasts.".
"Call 'em tits or boobies. Use the fun words. Go on. Continue. Give specifics. Details. I gotta know what you do, so I can help you.".
"I play with my…boobies. Happy? I rub my hands over them. I play with my nipples a lot. I do play with my…clit. God. Don't tell anyone about this. I rub it.".
"Do you wet your fingers before you play with your clit? Or do you use your pussy juice to get it all slippery?".
"I sometimes wet my fingers in my mouth, but mostly I use my own wetness from down there.".
OK. I was actually getting hard talking about sex with my sister. I could almost see her, in my mind, playing with herself. Wait! I could see her. Oooh I'm so bad.
"OK. Show me.".
"Get naked and show me what you do. Do it now. Come on. You wanted my help. This is how I'm gonna help you.".
She looked back to my door and I could see she was considering leaving. Then she turned back to me.
"I gotta get naked and show you what I do?".
"Hurry up, sis. Or get out. Told you. Sex is a heavy subject. You're probably too young. So not to worry if you want to leave.".
I threw that last bit to get her dander up. Calling her too young was always a sure fire way to make do something.
"I'm not too young. You were younger. But I gotta…".
"Yup. Or leave.".
She sighed and started to pull her t-shirt up and off. She looked at me and I nodded and waved her to continue. A small "hrumph" from her and she reached behind her and undid her white bra. It came free. Her tits were so small and young and tight, that they just didn't droop at all. Nice. She looked at me ogling her. I had to say something.
"They look nice. Yes, I know they are small. But look at Mom's or Aunt Alice's. Their's are a good size. You'll get there. Trust me. Even if they don't grow. There are plenty of guys who little itty bitty titties. And looking at yours makes me understand. Nice indeed. Get the rest off.".
I felt my cock twitch and I noticed that I had a hard on. Oh I hope she doesn't notice. She moved to her pants and undid the snap and the zipper. They were soon down and she stepped out of them. She hesitated and then pushed her pink undies down and then she stepped out of them.
She had a small bit of pussy hair and I could see she trimmed it enough to not show with her swim suit on.
"Nice. You have a lovely pussy.".
"Things I need to hear from my brother. Gees. Now what?".
"Do you lay down when you play? Get on my bed. Lay back and close your eyes. I know this is awkward. But pretend I'm not here. Play. Fantasize.".
She climbed on the bed and laid back. She took a look at me and then she looked at my crotch. I saw her notice my hard on. She looked back up at my eyes with the obvious question. I didn't back down from her stare. If anything I pushed my hips forward.
"Guys get hard fairly easy. Especially in our early years. From what I've heard from Mom when she talks to Aunt Alice, Dad still does too. Lay back. Play.".
I sat and watched my young sister start to play with herself. Obviously she was well aware that I was there. I just stayed quiet. Let her get into it. Soon, she was rubbing her boobs. She was pinching her nipples. Not too hard. Just enough to stretch them as she pulled them up. They would slip from her fingers and pop back down to her chest. God this was hot to watch. I wanted to pull my cock out and wank to this. I guess later. I watched as her left hand moved down her stomach and on to her thighs. She opened her legs enough to get her fingers room. She curled them down and over her clit and onto her slit. My cock was starting to ache. She poked them into her slit. I watched, wanting to get closer. Why not? I rolled the chair across the floor and got closer to the action.
She heard the chair move or something, cause she stopped, opened her eyes, and looked at me. I waved at her to continue and continued to peer at her sweet, naked body. She closed her eyes and started again.
She pulled her fingers out of her pussy. I could smell her. Nice pussy smell. Nice. I watched as her fingers came out and they were wet. She moved them over her clit and pushed the skin away. She played with her clit. She rubbed it. She pinched it. She pulled it. Her hips were moving up and down. She was making little quiet noises.
She was really getting in to it. She was looking more and more like she was gonna cum. She was starting to thrash about. Her right hand was still working her boobs. Her left hand was working her clit and slit. She sighed and eased back into the bed. She stopped playing with herself. What?
"Why did ya stop? You looked close.".
"I feel so good, but I feel like I have to pee. So I stopped.".
"No not pee. You're about to have an orgasm. Here let me take you over the top. Let me show you what it feels like to cum.".
I didn't give her a chance to object. I reached my hand to her pussy and slid my fingers into her slit. She was tight, but I got two in right away. She started to say something, but when I rubbed my wet fingers over her clit, she gasped and her mouth stayed open. I took her hand and put it back on her boob. I moved it back and forth. My fingers still working her pussy and clit. I moved my hand off her hand and rubbed her other tit myself. It was firm. Oh so nice and firm. The nipple was hard. I played with her tit and she played with the other. She was copying my moves on her tit. Her eyes closed and she was lolling her head back and forth.
I shoved three fingers into her pussy. She cried out. Janice raised her head to look at my hand. She looked at me almost in a panic. I knew she was getting close. I sawed the three fingers in and out. I increased the speed. I pushed in all the way, with my thumb hitting her clit. I pinched her nipple harder. I watched her face to tell if I was pinching too hard.
"Oh oh. I'm gonna pee. Ya better oh oh. Shit. Stop. Oh please stop. Oh oh oh oh ooooooooooo".
Her body tightened up and she came up off the bed. Only her heels and head were touching. I kept working my hand into her pussy. It was harder to do, but I kept going in and out. She was making a low moaning noise and hissing. Her wet pussy was almost a moat of wetness. I had brought my sister off. Cool. She finally let out a couple of loud yip noises and fell back to the bed. I slowed up my hand and slid it up and over her clit. She flinched. I slid my fingers slowly back into her very wet pussy.

Sister wants to learn - Chapter 2
She sucks me off
"See? You didn't pee. That's just pussy juice. Good stuff. Did you like that?".
I knew full well she liked it. She was still and unmoving on my bed. My fingers had slowed to a stop, but were still in her. She shuddered again and opened her eyes. She looked at me. She smiled and started to cry. Oh gees I hate that. Why do they gotta cry?
"Oh thank you Giles. Thank you. That was… Oh god I don't know what that was. I…it was…oh oh…". She shuddered again. "That was great. I never knew. Thank you.".
"Now as good as that feels, there is more, better.".
"Better? Oh no. Nothing can be better than that!".
"Trust me, squirt. Better. Having a guy go down on you and eat your pussy is way better. And fucking is just way more than tops.".
I moved myself to try and get my cock in a better position in my pants. It was so hard and hurting. It was tangled up in my sweat pants. Janice saw my movement and looked at my cock.
"Is it hard? Can I see it?".
"Oh shit, yes it's hard. You want to see my cock? Your brother's cock? What do you want to do with it?".
"Do with it? I uh…don't know. But I do want to see it. Badly. I want to touch it. Maybe kiss it…".
She looked at me, her eyes pleading. Hell a guy has a hard time of saying no to a naked girl. Even if she's his sister. Maybe more so. Janice looked so good. Her body had a light sheen from her sweat. Her pussy was very shiny from her pussy juice. And boy oh boy did she smell good. I wanted to slam my face in there and feast.
"OK. You do it.".
I got up from my chair and stood by the bed. She rolled over and sat up in front of me. Her hands reached for my sweat pants and pulled them down. My hard on caught in the elastic.
"Easy, squirt. Don't snap it off.".
She giggled and pulled my pants away from my belly and soon my cock was in her gaze. She moved my pants down a bit more. Not so much on purpose. It was just her hands drooping and taking my pants with them. Oh god it felt good to have it free and not tangled up. I looked at Janice's naked body and my cock twitched. She giggled. I grabbed my shirt and pulled it up and off.
"Get my pants all the way off.".
She looked up at me, then down to the pants around my knees. She pushed them down and I stepped out of them. I was naked in front of my sister -- my naked sister. Her eyes were back to my cock. I watched her hand move and then stop. She looked up at me.
"Go ahead. Touch it. Learn. It's what you wanted. To learn. Oh easy. That's better. Now up and down. Yes.".
She was quickly learning how to wank me. It felt good. Her little hand wrapped around my cock, going up and down. I think I was harder knowing it was my baby sister jerking me off.
"It's warm. Soft. Hard. So big. So big.".
I smiled and said "I'm not big. Maybe a little bit bigger than average. But there are bigger ones out there and yes, smaller ones. Hit some porn on the computer and you'll see bigger.".
"hmmm. Big enough.".
She leaned forward and kissed the head.
She pulled back, stopped stroking, and looked up to my eyes.
"Sorry. I just had to do that. Sorry.".
"Nothing to be sorry about. But now you know how I felt looking at you all naked and playing with yourself, knowing I couldn't join in. Sex is powerful stuff. Very powerful stuff.".
She leaned in and kissed the head of my cock again. Her hand started going up and down again. Her other hand moved to my balls and gently cupped them in her hand.
"You can rub them. But be careful how hard you do it. Work 'em easy. Learn. Watch me and how I react. If I flinch, then too hard. If not, keep doing it. Oh god yes. You got magic hands.".
She kissed my cock again, but this time she pushed her tongue onto it. She got some of my precum on her tongue and pulled back. I saw her roll her tongue around in her mouth. She looked at me, smiled, and dove back down. She opened her mouth and took my cock head in.
"Damn. Fine. Now be careful. No teeth. Only take so much in. Careful not to gag.".
This is wild. I'm telling my young baby sister how to blow me.
"Use your tongue. Bob your head up and down. Oh fuck me yes. Damn sis. Damn that is nice. Keep the hands working. Oh fuck me. Yes. Oh god. Suck me. Squeeze tighter. Oh fuck. Oh god. I feel it. Here I cum. Oh please take it in your mouth. Take it in your mouth. Don't take it out. Let me cum in your mouth. Oh shit. Oh god damn. Fu yesssssssss!".
I came. I exploded into my sister's mouth. I loosely held her head and my hips humped into her face. I came and my cum went into her mouth. I heard her gag a couple of times, but I just couldn't stop. I was holding her head tighter. I was shaking and my legs were about to give way. I pushed hard one more time and squirted another load into her mouth. She was twitching as I held her head to my cock. I eased up and she pulled back. She gasped for air.
"Oh shit, sis. Sorry. It felt so good. You ok? Sorry. Damn that was good.".
"Oh wow.". Her hand came up and wiped her lips. She looked at my cum there on the back of her hand. She brought it to her mouth and licked it clean. That brought me to think where did the rest of my cum go? Very little was on her lips when she wiped. She looked up at me, smiled weakly, and licked her lips.
"Hmmm. Odd. But not bad. Tasty. I like it. I think I like it a lot because it gave you so much pleasure.. I'm gonna have to have more. Wow. You shoved that thing into my mouth and it went down my throat. I panicked and thought I couldn't breathe. But I started to breathe through my nose and I settled down. I also thought I was gonna puke. But I wasn't gonna. I fought hard and I didn't puke.".
"Damn sis. That was great.".
I sat on the bed next to her. She leaned over to me and kissed my lips. Not a sisterly kiss at all. She leaned back.
"Hmm Now ya gotta teach me about kissing.
- - - -
Sister wants to learn - Chapter 3
Kissing turns to fucking
"I think we skipped a few lessons. Yup. Sure did. Kissing should have been number one. But somehow we got started in the middle.".
"It was your idea. You had me get naked and start playing with myself. Your fault. I'm just an innocent little girl.".
"Not innocent anymore. You're well on your way to being a full blown sex goddess.".
I leaned down to her and kissed her. This time I pulled her to me and pressed harder. I opened up my mouth and let my tongue slid along her lips. I could taste a bit of my cum on her lips. Hmmm. A first for me. Not bad. I felt her lips open and my tongue pushed in. I met her tongue. I laid back, pulling her sweet naked body on top of me. The kiss was great. I was lost in her lips. Her body was warm as it laid on me. My soft cock was waking up as it was pressed between our bodies. Janice pulled her head back and looked at me.
"Wow! This is awesome. You feel so good under me.".
She wiggled and moved and my hardening cock slipped between her legs. "Oh that is better. Much better.". She wiggled some more and my cock was hard again and pressing up towards her pussy. "Much, much better.".
She leaned down and started kissing me again. She was taking charge of this kiss. I was just putty in her arms. My hands were wandering on her back. Her shoulders. Her butt. Oh her sweet tiny, tight butt. I pulled her butt and my cock slipped into her pussy. I stopped. My eyes shot open. She was looking at me. She grimaced and smiled at the same time -- I know, odd. Now with an intense, determined smile, she up and pushed. I slid into her more.
"Janice. Stop. I don't want to get you pregnant. Oooh shit.".
She pushed and I went all the way into her.
"I got…uh fuck…I got condoms…fuck…please…oh damn.".
Janice was rocking her hips on my cock. She had her tongue out and pushed to the side as she focused on fucking me. I had to take control. But it felt so damn good. Got to stop. I swatted her ass hard to get her attention. She yelped and she looked at me cross, but she stopped fucking me. Our eyes waged a battle. I held her ass tight so it wouldn't move. OK. So sue me. I was all the way in. Buried to the balls. But she wasn't moving. I won the battle and she pulled up my cock. Not all the way off, but she was minding me.
"Where is it then? Damn. It was intense going in. But then I opened up. I like that a lot. Where is that condom?! I want you back in me.".
"In my backpack, by my desk.".
She slowly pulled herself up and completely off. Oh damn I miss her pussy already. I saw her take a couple of deep breaths. She put a determined look on her face and got off the bed. She brought the back pack to the bed quickly. She straddled me and was trying to get the backpack open and her pussy back onto my cock at the same time. I grabbed the bag and quickly found the package. She had got my cock back in her and was working up and down again. I pushed the bag off the bed and swatted her ass hard again.
"OK. OK. I will. Give it to me. Show me how to do it right. I want that nice cock back in me. Oh damn, I want it back in. Quick. Teach me how.".
She was almost crying as she opened it.
"Make sure to leave a little bit loose on top to catch the cum. Then just roll it down.".
She made quick work of it and looked to me for approval. I nodded and she was back pushing her pussy onto my cock. I slid in. Nice. Not near as nice as her bare pussy, but nice. She was quickly moaning and was obviously having a great time. I had my hands on her hips helping her go up and down. Her tiny boobs would jerk up and then down. But they went right back to their place -- tight on her chest. Oh god damn. I'm fucking my sister. Or she's fucking me. And it's just grand.
I saw her body get red all over. I felt her pussy tighten up. Damn. She was starting to shudder and shiver. I watched as her muscles did little quivers. She was close. I pulled her hips tightly down onto my hips and held her there, not letting her move. She whined and wildly looked at me. She tried to get my hands to release.
"What? Let me go. I need. I'm so close.".
"Get off me and get on your hands and knees. Time for the doggie style lesson.".
"If I do it, will we get back to fucking quickly?".
"Yes. As quick as you can move, is as quick as I can be.".
She scampered off me and got onto her hands and knees. I just as quickly got behind her and lined up and was back in her.
"Oh thank you. Nice. Come on Giles. Fuck me. Make me feel real good.".
I started pumping into her. Her tiny, firm ass cheeks wiggled with each slam into her. I used her hips as handles to pull her on and off my cock. I went in deep. Deep into that tight, tight pussy. I saw her body getting red again. And again I watched as her muscles started to quiver. I pushed into her hard each time. Banging her body. Pull. Bang. Over and over. Oh damn nice.
"ungh. Oh damn oh. Ungh. Oh god you're so deep in me. Oooof. It hurts and feels good at the same time. Oh god damn, Giles. I'm almost there. Oh don't stop. Please oh please don't stop. Oh oh. Yes. More. Harder. Oh oooo Oh shit yes yes YESSSSSS!".
She was in full blown orgasm. Her pussy got so very tight. And wet. Oh my was she wet. I felt it sliding and oozing down my legs. I kept pumping her tight pussy hard, and it pushed her over the top. She was crying and wailing and her hands lost the ability to hold herself up. I kept fucking her. I had her body wildly bouncing on my cock. I was just having a fantastic fuck.
I felt her body go limp. Nothing. She passed out? I slowed down.
"Janice? Squirt? You there? You ok?".

wow..a good story. I taught both my daughters when they were young to play with my huge cock, and then suck me off.
Now they are married, and suck their hubby's cocks. They love to swallow hot sperm. Girls sure love to suck a cock. My youngest daughter used to spit it out. Whe would not swallow it.

My sister and me still fuck. We started when into high school.
I was then 16 and she was just 14. We used to fuck on the sofa a lot after school. She would let me shoot into her cunt. After a fuck, we would watch my sperm dribble out of her vagina...onto a towel. I found out later she was letting dad fuck her cunt too.

I can't find out any information about this but in general (up until now) when I visited an image directly on the server it displayed it on the bland default white background in the top-left corner (really annoying, always planned to fix it at some point somehow.)
But NOW, it displays centered in a trendy dark background, which is awesome and I really like. Anyone else? Is it a server update? It's awesome whatever it is! Here's an example of what I mean: http://purebe.zxq.net/7day_challenge_1.1/d...gameplay_02.png ------ http://purebe.zxq.net/ |

Congratulations to Belpre for your first year of participation in the America in Bloom (AIB) national awards program! Two AIB judges peered through your parks, neighborhoods and business districts on June 18 and 19. All this probing was to determine and praise your community's progress in discovering and touting its amenities and attributes; and improving the environment and the quality of life of its citizens. America in Bloom's goal is to assist communities in becoming a destination to live, work and recreate.
America in Bloom is a community building endeavor. The six criteria judged - Overall Impression, Environmental Effort, Heritage Conservation, Urban Forestry, Landscaped Areas, Floral and Displays - are designed to bring communities and people together to achieve improvements to their quality of life. The judges provide insight and consultation toward improvement and their recommendations will be available to you in September.
AIB has involved more than 200 towns across America. AIB offers communities sustainable solutions in view of budget busting economies, out-sourcing, mobile lifestyles and environmental trends.
The culmination of this awards program is detailed in a scoring and evaluation document presented after the Awards Ceremony and Educational Symposium, held this year in Fayetteville, Arkansas from Sept. 20 to 22.
While top honors are awarded to those who garner the most points among the six criteria, all participants are truly winners by virtue of their participation.
A healthy, functional community is like a loving extended family where each individual is valued for their intrinsic worth and contribution. A true sense of community is a thing of great beauty. For more information, check out the AIB website at www.americainbloom.org
Our sincere thanks to the Belpre in Bloom committee,who made our visit so memorable.

The website was done very professionally but very misleading. It was difficult to find and disappointing on arrival. Sits out in the middle of nowhere. Most residents are labor type of workers and gives one a very un-secure feeling. Check out the Williams RV mobile home park on the NE side of Conway. The parks in and close to MB are strictly for rich weekend or short time campers. Rates are close to renting a motel room when you consider all of the other costs, gas, RV and insurance payments etc. Hope this is helpful. Stay safe on the highways.

As an immigrant from China, I am so happy to have the opportunity to live and study in the U.S because I have gained and learned so much. I feel more self-aware and socially-aware. But for a lot of American students, I encourage you to take advantage of the study tour programs because it gives you a life learning and fulfilling experience. For example, it helps you create global awareness; it helps you promote international security; it helps you enhance academic learning; it helps you develop leadership skills; it helps you advance your career; it helps you experience personal growth; and it helps you learn another language and culture.
Lincoln Commission (2005) says, "For their own future and that of the nation, it is essential that college graduates today become globally competent." The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad writes that study abroad or study tour is a key element in students' education for careers and citizenship in a globalizing world. It provides unique opportunities for students to learn about and appreciate cultures and perspectives different from their own, to confront and explore their own assumptions, to achieve greater proficiency in another language and to overcome with the challenge of living in an unfamiliar context."
Seattle University has been actively promoting the study tour and study abroad programs to all students. Reading thousands of books is not as good as going on a trip. Daft, Douglass H., Chairman and CEO of the Coca Cola Company says, "For almost three decades of my career at The Coca-Cola Company, I lived and worked in Asia. From Singapore to Tokyo to Beijing, I learned about different local cultures by living and working in those cultures. It gave me a profound respect for how people are different, and also for how we are the same."

Although U.S. murder rates have been dropping for years nationwide, they remain stubbornly high in poor pockets of cities large and small. In many cases, the victims are black men.
California's beleaguered timber industry is making a comeback, boosting the economies of rural towns that remain otherwise hard hit by the economic downturn.
In Stockton, Calif., 58 murders were reported last year, more than double the 24 reported in 2008. The city is considering filing for bankruptcy and has already laid off police officers. Photographer Matt Black documented some of the sites where these incidents occurred last year.
Over the past decade, leading aviation companies have built increasingly sophisticated factories in Morocco, as local officials hope this push into advanced manufacturing can attract more basic industries in its wake.
Americans 25 and under face one of the toughest job markets in modern history, but they're looking to the future, too. This week, The Wall Street Journal invited some to answer this question: Where do you see yourself five years from now?

Beach Boys Play Their Classics
June 6, 2012
The Beach Boys took a break from their 50th anniversary tour to perform acoustic versions of their classic pop tunes at the Rolling Stone studio. After the set, the band explained that they've been trying to please all of their fans and represent everyone in the band – past and present – on their reunion tour. "There's just so many songs from so many eras, but there's some that we can't do without," says Mike Love. "I don't think we could do a show and not do 'Good Vibrations,' and 'Kokomo' is a big crowd pleaser too."

Halloween trick-or-treating probably originated with a ninth-century European custom called souling. On All Souls Day (November 2), early Christians would walk from village to village begging for soul cakes, square pieces of bread with currants. In exchange for the cakes, the beggars would promise to say prayers on behalf of the donor's dead relatives. Thus the Halloween association with ghosts and souls in limbo. This week's collection of Halloween treats are for those who like to read and write ghost stories.
"There was a bright, eerie light surrounding the cave, where the man stood transfixed to the spot as if hypnotized. He could feel the fear in his mind and the evil presence that was haunting it." Come sit by the virtual campfire and read ghost stories written by the fifth and sixth grade classes of Upper Canada College Prep and Bishop Strachan School. Use the keyword search tool (enter keyword ghost) to find specific stories.
Scoutmaster R. Gary Hendra from Milpitas, California has collected ghost stories over the years, and invites readers to send more. One story, written by Lord Baden-Powell, Chief Scout, is reprinted from the December, 1932 Christmas issue of "The Scouter" in England. In Britain, reading ghost stories (such as Dickens's "Christmas Carol") in front of a flickering hearth are part of the Christmas tradition. In this country, of course, we tell ghost stories around the campfire or at Halloween.
Moonlit Road is a collection of ghost stories with "roots in Southern culture and folklore." Most stories (offered in both text and audio) are adaptations of folktales passed down through the oral tradition, but a few are new, published with permission from the author. The audio files are excellent, as are the Cultural Background pages you'll find on each story page.

With eight walks, one HBP, a wild pitch, two stolen bases, and one supporting run, it's a mystery he even won.
It would've made America apathetic about soccer. Which is why it's still not yet a dominant sport.
After the longest week of Sparty's life, Tom Izzo announced he's staying to coach Michigan State.
Debbie Stabenow is petitioning Tom Izzo to stay at Michigan State. ON OUR TAX DOLLERZ!!!!
This week on the Treehouse Fort, we talk World Cup, the Chicago Blackhawks, and Tom Izzo. Please, no throwing of objects.
Whether or not Stephen Strasburg becomes a perennial All-Star, his effect on the city of Washington, D.C. can't be disputed.
While I wish nothing but fortune for my Sparty friends, their legendary coach leaving for the NBA isn't as sad as it sounds
It's all about Armando Galarraga, NBA vs. NHL, World Cup paranoia myths, and how to organize a sports bar lock-in.
It's the 21st in history, but the best defensive play was Galarraga covering first to beat the runner by a half step.

Tressle table - how to build?
i love this tressle table. sadly it sells for $2800 and would take me a long time to save up for.. in fact, i could probably build it myself before i could save that much.
i'm stumped though, on how to connect the table top to the ' X ' shaped base. the table is probably a hundred pounds.. and you know somebody is going to lift the table to move it into a new position in the room.. so the connection has to be strong. what i know about table making is that the top has to be connected in such a way that it still allows for movement due to moisture expansion/shrinkage. i have seen on the net these tabs or table top clips that are screwed into the under side of the table top and then rotate to slide into a slot (biscuit cut) of the horizontal piece at the top of the X bracing. this would work, but i doubt its strong enough .. even 4 of these per side. what else is out there?

Tressle table - how to build?
Right question--Wrong place--HaHa-Try next door at the woodworking forum,Nice bunch of people there,You may even find drawings of a trestle table.
Often there is a cleat on the top of the cross buck similar to the foot. four screws into slightly ovalized holes will do it. A cross buck trestle table is a fine furniture project. You already own most of the tools required. Have fun, By the way an old fashioned lumber yard should have "step stock" (2x10 and 2x12 with square edges) High grade stock with small knots-Great for the top! --MIKE--- |

A new study shows that there addictive sounds, like the Intel chime, a sizzling steak, the wedding march, the T-mobile ring tone, the Star Bangled Banner and a baby's laugh, which is the most addictive sound on the planet. Do you agree?

One last tip for heart month. Probably the single biggest problem for your heart is SATURATED FAT. This basically means fat from an animal - most of us get saturated fats from the grease and oil in fast food. However a study published in JAMA (the Journal of the American Medical Association) found that protein and UNsaturated fats can positively affect blood pressure and may reduce the risk of heart disease. For you that means eat white meat chicken - which is a very lean protein - instead of beef and use olive oil - the best unsaturated fat.
So if you are driving home and thinking about stopping at Taco Bell, remember your heart. You can either order the chicken items from the Fresca menu or you can do one better - you can make my amazing 10-Minute Chicken Tacos at home. Click here for the simple recipe! You'll feel fortunate that this fantastic flavorful fun food will feed your family full fast. No foolin'!

The right-to-work law has been controversial since its passage [JURIST report] in December, over unanimous Democratic opposition. Earlier this week Michigan Governor Rick Snyder [official website] sent a letter to the Chief Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court [official website] requesting an advisory opinion [JURIST report] on the constitutionality of the law. In addition to this lawsuit, two other lawsuits have been filed [Detroit News report] challenging the law's passage as a violation of the Open Meetings Act. JURIST guest columnist Susan Bitensky of the Michigan State University College of Law criticized [JURIST op-ed] Michigan's right to work law as a bill that will "weaken the people and families who depend upon the benefits and protections negotiated by labor unions." Measures to strengthen collective bargaining rights in Michigan have also been controversial. In September the Michigan Supreme Court ordered [JURIST report], a union-backed measure to amend the state constitution to include a right to labor unionization and collective bargaining to appear on the November ballot. The measure was ultimately defeated [AP report] 57-43 percent.
According to a 2012 report [JURIST report] by Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website], the Arab Spring may have inspired Vietnamese citizens to combat their oppressive government. However, Vietnam has reacted harshly and has been cracking down on pro-democracy supporters recently. Earlier this month, Vietnam convicted [JURIST report] 14 bloggers associated with Viet Tan of subversion issued prison sentences ranging from 3 to 13 years. In September a court in Vietnam sentenced [JURIST report] a number of bloggers for anti-state propaganda for defaming the Vietnamese government. In August 2011 an appeals court in Vietnam upheld [JURIST report] a seven-year sentence for a prominent rights lawyer.
In November both Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website; HRW press release] and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights [official profile; JURIST report] attributed the waive of self-immolation's to China's failure to address human rights in Tibet. In February HRW demanded [JURIST report] that China release Tibetan prisoners who were forced into re-education camps. In November 2011 the UN formally expressed concern [JURIST report] over China's treatment of Tibet. In July 2010 HRW published a report that accused China of violating international law [JURIST report] in its treatment of Tibetan protesters.
Pakistan has recently been fraught with conflict and tension between the executive and the judiciary, notably in light of Ashraf's brief term as Prime Minister. Ashraf's predecessor, Yousuf Raza Gilani, was forced out as prime minister last June after the Supreme Court convicted him of contempt [JURIST report] for failing to pursue a corruption case against the president. In July, only a month after Ashraf became prime minister, the Supreme Court ordered him to reopen the investigation [JURIST report] against President Asif Ali Zardari within three weeks. Also that month, the National Assembly of Pakistan [official website] approved a bill [JURIST report] to shield senior officials from contempt of court proceedings, which was widely seen as an attempt to exempt Ashraf from possible claims of contempt for failing to follow the order. When Ashraf did not do as the court requested, the Supreme Court granted him another two weeks [JURIST report] to comply with its order. In August, after Ashraf still did not reopen the investigation, the court ordered him to appear and explain his refusal [JURIST report] to comply with the July orders. After his appearance, the Supreme Court then granted Ashraf an additional three weeks [JURIST report] to reopen the corruption case. Finally, in mid-September, Ashraf agreed to allow the corruption case to be reopened [JURIST report].
The most recent conflicts between Israelis and Palestinians have raised concern of possible human rights violations committed by Israel. Last month UN Special Rapporteur Richard Falk [official website] called on Israel [JURIST report] to fully implement and continue to support the recent conflict-ending ceasefire agreement with Palestinians in Gaza. In November UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay [official profile] pressured Israel [JURIST report] to avoid targeting civilian structures in Gaza, expressing acute concern over the surge in the number of Palestinian civilian deaths that month. In August Amnesty International [advocacy website] called on Israel to investigate [JURIST report] its treatment of Palestinian detainees, alleging that two had been mistreated. In June the UN also urged Israel to end its blockade [JURIST report] of the Gaza Strip, alleging that it was violating international law.
Israel has been criticized recently for potential human rights violations, particularly with respect to the conflict in Gaza [JURIST news archive]. On Tuesday the UN Human Rights Council [official website] expressed regret that the Israeli government failed to send [JURIST report] a representative to the Council's review of Israel's human rights record. Last month Human Rights Watch [advocacy website] accused the Israeli Defense Forces of war crimes [JURIST report] after a November aerial bombing raid killed 12 civilians in Gaza. Earlier that week UN Special Rapporteur Richard Flak called on Israel [JURIST report] to fully implement and continue to support the recent conflict-ending ceasefire agreement with Palestinians in Gaza. In November UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay [official profile] pressured Israel to avoid strikes [JURIST report] on civilian structures in Gaza. In August Amnesty International called on Israel [JURIST report] to investigate its treatment of Palestinian detainees, alleging that two had been mistreated. In June the UN also urged Israel to end its blockade [JURIST report] of the Gaza Strip, alleging that it was violating international law.
Earlier this month a Russian court denied [JURIST report] a sentencing deferral for band member Maria Alekhina, despite her having a young child. In October, Alekhina and fellow band member Nadezhda Tolokonnikova were transferred to separate regional prisons [JURIST report] generally reserved for dangerous criminals to serve their two-year sentences. Earlier in October Samutsevich was freed on appeal [JURIST report] because she did not actually participate in the protest song, and she vowed to take the band's case to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) [official website] on charges that the Russian government had illegally detained them and also violated the rock group's right to free speech. All three members were given two-year prison sentences after they were convicted [JURIST report] in August of hooliganism in connection with "guerrilla performance" of a protest song in February at the altar of downtown Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral.
In this case, each of the Plaintiffs was tried as an adult and convicted of first-degree murder. As a result, they received mandatory life sentences. Pursuant to statute, the parole board lacks jurisdiction over anyone convicted of first-degree murder. This statutory scheme combines to create life without parole sentences for those who committed their crimes as juveniles. This type of sentencing scheme is clearly unconstitutional under Miller.
In November the Michigan Supreme Court ruled [JURIST report] that Miller did not apply retroactively. In October Human Rights Watch [advocacy website] wrote a letter to Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett asking him to veto [JURIST report] legislation which would maintain the sentence of life without parole as an option for child offenders. In June the US Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in two combined cases, Miller v. Alabama and Jackson v. Hobbs [SCOTUS backgrounders] that mandatory life sentences for juveniles violate the Eighth Amendment. Some observers have argued that the reasoning the court used in this case could easily be extended [JURIST op-ed] in the future to abolish life in prison without the possibility of parole sentences for all juvenile homicide cases. JURIST Guest Columnist Perry Moriearty of the University of Minnesota Law School recently argued that the Miller decision marks an important step toward restoring principles of rehabilitation [JURIST op-ed] to the juvenile justice system.
Roma continue to be targets of discrimination in Europe. In September Amnesty International (AI) [official website] urged Italy to change its discriminatory policies [JURIST report] against the country's Roma. In August AI urged [JURIST report] the government of Hungary to protect the nation's Roma communities from anti-Roma attacks. Also in August the UN urged the international community to end discrimination against Roma [JURIST report]. In May the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) [official website] implored the government of Moldova to adopt a comprehensive anti-discrimination law [JURIST report] that protects, amongst other groups, the Roma people. In April Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website] called on the government of Bosnia and Herzegovina to stop discriminating against Roma [JURIST report].

When it comes to spending, four of the six BCS conferences believe in giving great compensation to the men in charge of driving up their leagues' revenue. But of the four conference commissioners making right at a million or more, the SEC's Mike Slive ranks third on the list.
The Associated Press — digging through 2009 IRS returns — found that Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany makes $1.6 million per year. ACC commissioner John Swofford ranks a surprising second at $1.1 million. Then comes Slive at an even million, followed by the Big 12′s Dan Beebe at $997,000. (Slive received a million dollar bonus in 2008 as a big "thank ya" for landing mega-deals with ESPN and CBS.)
Larry Scott of the Pac-12 ($735,000) and John Marinatto ($366,000) started mid-year in 2009, so their numbers don't show a full year's salary. That suggests, of course, that Scott is making more than a million a year and could even be making Delany-type money.
Interestingly, Marinatto makes less than the median pay of presidents ($760,774) at America's biggest research universities. That despite the fact that he might have the toughest job as the Big East has separate members for basketball and football and stretches from New England to Milwaukee to Fort Worth.
The AP's article is itself another push to pay athletes. One professor quoted in the piece says:
"Mike Slive got more money for TV contracts, but nobody turns on their TV set to see Mike Slive, who may be interviewed at halftime. They want to see Alabama and Auburn play at their very best, which means player have to be in 12-month training and (put in) very intensive work weeks. The logic and ethics of the situation say the players should be paid."
Sounds good. Unfortunately professor Murray Sperber of Cal-Berkeley doesn't grasp the fact that there are lots of unfair wages being paid out in America today. Should the people who build the cars Americans drive be better compensated than some exec in a corner office at Ford? The car company would probably tell you that the leadership provided by its top-paid exec influences every person in the company.
Along those same lines, if Slive weren't there to cut those massive TV deals — deals that opened the door for other leagues to follow suit, by the way — would the players be able to negotiate those television contracts? And if not, who pays for those multi-million-dollar workout rooms, academic centers, and new lockerrooms that they enjoy?
This isn't about defending Slive. It's about shooting down an oversimplified argument.
"I do more work so I should make more money than the top guy." Everybody says it and in a lot of cases its true. But the top guy is on top for a reason. Usually because he's the one negotiating the deals that push the company's product from "value in theory" to "value in reality."
Of Million-Dollar Commissioners Slive Ranks 3rd

"Have we ended the day's training? Or is it only the beginning now?
We have trained until very late. Everyone is very tired.
Today, Jungsoo hyung has collapsed due to exhaustion again.
He is still tired, sits on top of the metal box and takes a nap
Even if it's only a few minutes while waiting for the car.
He still secretly rests.
I stand and watch him from the front.
Because, I'm afraid he will lean forward and falls off because he is too tired..
I used my hands to support him.
And watch him with my eyes opened wide.
Ah… I normally don't speak much.
Let them (dongsaengs) play crazily.
Because I don't want to abuse a hyung's authority to scare them.
I am one who doesn't know how to exist with others.
Hyung must be really tired.
He has to look after the cold and uncooperative me.
And still has to mix with the rest he has just met.
But have already seem to have gone crazy.
Actually, I really want to share some of Jungsoo hyung's burden/responsibility/pain.
But… there was only the time when you were sleeping that I used by hands to support your tired body that almost fell.We are their hyungs,
But I one have you as my hyung..Jungsoo hyung,

Women DI Club Rankings - Oct. 3, 2012 |
Rankings - Club Rankings | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The regular season for women's DI clubs is nearly over, with only two more weekends of significant games remaining. The Elite 8 will occur at the end of the month and a handful of squads already know they're making the trip to Atlanta. ORSU, Chicago North Shore and Atlanta have been dominating their respective regions and unless some serious unraveling occurs, will take the number-one seeds out of conferences. ORSU has two more games at home against Belmont Shore and Nor Cal Triple Threat, both at home. Travel is always a major influence in the games' outcomes, but even if ORSU were on the road, they'd be favored in their final two games. Seattle is in the second spot right now and should improve to 5-1 after their game against Tempe at home. CR1 has only two seeds to playoffs. In CR2, reigning champs North Shore have been looking good throughout the regular season. They have one more game against cross-town rivals Chicago, but even if North Shore loses, their 4-1 record will be enough to advance. CR2 only has six teams in its region - unlike the seven in the other two regions - and half of those will move on to playoffs. Detroit looks like the second-best team in CR2 but they'll have a good test against Austin in their final game. Both Austin and Chicago are duking it out for the third and final seed to playoffs. Both are 1-1-1 and played out their tie (22-22) against each other. Both are favored in one of their final two matches - Austin over the Minnesota Valkyries, and Chicago over Denver Black Ice. It'll really come down to whether Austin beats Detroit, as North Shore should defeat Chicago. In CR3, Atlanta has been pummeling the competition. While teams like Albany and Philadelphia have challenged the Harlequins for a half, Atlanta has prevailed with massive scores. Their biggest test will come this weekend when they travel to NOVA, who is also undefeated. NOVA has played closer matches against some of the middle-of-the-road teams, but once they reach their full potential, they'll look good in the post-season. CR3 also has three seeds, and that'll come down to Boston or Philadelphia most likely. It'll come down to the wire, but the two teams play on Oct. 13 and should settle the debate who is better in 2012. The following rankings note some of the teams' most significant victories and losses:

Shakespeare on the Square
"If Music be the food of love, play on" – so says William Shakespeare, famously, in Twelfth Night and nowhere is that statement more true than in this brilliant and beloved comedy. Mistaken identity, evil plots, long lost siblings and the search for true love combines for one of Shakespeare's most outrageous comedies. "Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon 'em."
The Tennessee Stage Company presents Shakespeare on the Square from the Market Square Stage. The Plays rotate nightly from Mid July through August for complete schedule and information the Website is Tennessee Stage Company dot com.
