This game was no thing of beauty. It was brutal and sluggish and hard to watch. That was expected in the first game of the year against a team that is disciplined and effective, in Canada at least. But the new rules made for a lurching disjointed viewing experience. Flow was merely a concept, not something that showed up at all. Still, there are things to like.
- Sean Kilpatrick seems to have benefited greatly from his World University Games experience. Looked much more assertive and commanding than he did a year ago
- Justin Jackson is noticeably bigger, still plays close to the edge
- Titus Rubles didn't shoot a single three pointer
None of this stuff really matters, its fodder for the media machine. But getting a read on this team will be impossible until the North Carolina State game is played. NC State might not be a world beater, but that game will still tell us something about this team.

Mark Sanchez - #6 - QB

|Mission Viejo, CA
|Years played
|2009, 1st round, 5th pick by Jets
Fourth-round pick McKnight signs with Jets
RB Joe McKnight, the Jets' fourth-round pick, signed with the team Tuesday.
Jets CB Revis will attend minicamp
Jets CB Darrelle Revis, who skipped a voluntary OTA session last week, said he will attend the team's mandatory minicamp June 14-16.
Jets sign rookie FB Conner
The Jets signed fifth-round pick FB John Conner to a four-year deal, according to a New York Daily News report.
Report: Jets CB Revis skips OTAs
CB Darrelle Revis is said to be in negotiations with the Jets about a new contract, and he's apparently staying away from voluntary OTAs to show how unhappy he is with his contract situation.
Jets could look to add competition for PK Folk
The Jets' roster is short on glaring holes, but placekicker could turn out to be a major headache for the club if Nick Folk can't regain the form that led him to the Pro Bowl after the 2007 season.
'Hard Knocks' effect: Will Jets be distracted?
As some of you know, I have gone a bit against the tide on the Jets this offseason. And I am wondering if they need the distraction of "Hard Knocks" heading into the season.
Recovering Jets NT Jenkins working on dropping weight
Just six months after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ACL, Jets NT Kris Jenkins is hoping to return the field for a mandatory June minicamp, which would be a surprisingly quick recovery.
Reports: Jets QB Sanchez 'limited' in drills
QB Mark Sanchez returned to the field for the first time since undergoing knee surgery as the Jets held their first organized team activity of the offseason Monday.
Ready or not, Jets' Ducasse expected to start
Scouts said Jets OLG Vladimir Ducasse lacked polish heading into the draft, but he won't be afforded the luxury of learning from afar before getting thrust into a game situation.
By the numbers
The Ravens' relatively low sack total in 2009 is one of many NFL numbers on the mind of PFW's Mike Wilkening.
2010 draft choices by team: Jets
Here are the players who were chosen by the New York Jets in the 2010 NFL draft.
Reports: Jets cut OG Faneca
Reports out of New York say that the Jets have released nine-time Pro Bowl OG Alan Faneca.
Seahawks acquire RB-RS Washington from Jets
Not long after acquiring LenDale White from the Titans, the Seahawks traded for another backfield weapon late Saturday morning, picking up RB-RS Leon Washington from the Jets in exchange for Seattle's fifth-round draft pick.
Ducasse a value, need-based pick for Jets
The Jets found a luxury in the first round when they added CB Kyle Wilson to an already talented CB corps. They opted to fill a need with their second choice.
Jets bolster an already top-notch CB corps with Wilson
A rich defensive backfield went to the bank again on Thursday, as the Jets deposited Boise State CB Kyle Wilson with the 29th overall pick.
Rex Ryan says Mark Sanchez will be the New York Jets' starting quarterback for "the first snap" in minicamp, but insists there will be an open competition at the position.||||||| The Jets coach says at the NFL meetings Tuesday that the team needs "to get better" at the position." Sanchez struggled mightily last year, and was benched in favor of third-stringer Greg McElroy for a game. New York brought in veteran David Garrard to compete with Sanchez for the job, and anything is possible with Ryan at the helm of this circus.
The Jets are hamstrung by the contract of Sanchez, who is coming off a miserable season but is guaranteed $8.25 million next season. He would cost the Jets a $17.1 million cap hit if they cut him.||||||| Sanchez will almost certainly be back, unless the Jets can trade him. If Sanchez returns, he will likely have to compete for the starting job, and the Jets will be in the market for a quarterback in free agency or the draft.
Greg McElroy has a concussion and will be replaced by Sanchez as the New York Jets' starting quarterback in the season finale at Buffalo on Sunday.||||||| Coach Rex Ryan says Thursday that McElroy, preparing to make his second NFL start in place of the benched Sanchez, was lifting weights and had headaches. Ryan says he chose to start Sanchez over Tim Tebow because the team has just two practices and a walkthrough to prepare before the game and he feels "more comfortable" with Sanchez. Sanchez was benched after turning the ball over five times at Tennessee on Dec. 17.
Sanchez and Tim Tebow are both active as Greg McElroy's backups in the New York Jets' regular-season home finale against the San Diego Chargers.||||||| It is the first time all season that Rex Ryan has had all three of his quarterbacks active for a game. By having all three available, Ryan avoids having to designate either Sanchez or Tebow as the No. 2 quarterback Sunday.
Sanchez knows he won't be the New York Jets' starting quarterback this week. The one-time face of the franchise won't say whether he thinks he'll be back with the team next season.||||||| Benched in favor of Greg McElroy for Sunday's game against San Diego, Sanchez said he hadn't thought about his future. He says that "I'm a Jet, and that's all I've known," despite the fact the team will consider all options with Sanchez - including a trade - in the offseason. Sanchez threw four interceptions and lost the football on the final offensive play as New York was eliminated from playoff contention with Monday night's 14-10 loss at Tennessee.

ELECTION: Conservative topples Lib Dem Harris
4:42am Friday 7th May 2010 in Oxford West & Abingdon News By Reg Little, Oxford Times Chief Reporter. Call me on 01865 425434
LIBERAL DEMOCRAT Evan Harris this morning lost his seat in Oxford West and Abingdon to Conservative Nicola Blackwood.
The result was declared just after 4am and Dr Harris ended up the wrong side of a 176-vote result.
A recount had to be held as initially only a few hundred votes separated Dr Harris from his Tory rival Miss Blackwood, 30.
Dr Harris had still not appeared at the count at the Vale of White Horse Tennis and Leisure Centre in Abingdon.
Voters had queued up at polling stations in Oxford and Abingdon from the morning.
Neil Fawcett, Dr Harris's election agent, said: "People in places like Jericho and North Oxford were queuing from 11am. That is new. It usually only happens later in the day when people have come home from work.
"It is clear students are voting in large numbers. But it is difficult to judge whether this big turnout in Oxford West and Abingdon could be put down to students going to vote or whether it could be Conservatives who want to get rid of Gordon Brown."
The election battle in Oxford West and Abingdon provoked the most bitter and personal attacks, which fuelled claims of slurs and dirty tricks.
The campaign saw Dr Evan Harris come in for a series of personal attacks because of his views on abortion and euthanasia.
He was the subject of an angry leaflet campaign branding him "Dr Death".
Dr Harris responded by saying: "I am proud of my record speaking out on medical ethical issues."
He also came under attack from animal activists, with Keith Mann standing against Dr Harris for the Animal Protection Party.
Mr Mann, who spent seven years in prison for arson attacks on slaughterhouse lorries in the early nineties, said at today's count, held at the Vale of White Horse Leisure and Tennis Centre, that taking votes from Dr Harris had been his main intention.
He said: "I wanted to challenge because of his support for animal testing in Oxford, but also because of his desire to extend the abortion time limit."
The outcome of Oxford West and Abingdon was made even harder to call by the Boundary Commission decision to switch Carfax and Holywell to East Oxford.
The wards are home to 8,000 students, including those in many Oxford University colleges.
The inclusion of villages such as Yarnton and Begbroke in the constituency for the first time added to uncertainty about the outcome, while boosting hopes for the Conservative candidate Miss Blackwood.
Speaking before the result, Ms Blackwood said: "The turnout has been tremendous. People have listened and paid attention to the arguments.
"Whatever happens it shows that people in Oxford West and Abingdon have not abandoned politics, after the scandals. That had seemed to be the case last year.
"But the election has brought people back into politics to debate the issues."
Ms Blackwood, who moved to Oxford when she was two months old, said being a local woman had boosted her campaign.
She said: "I think people have more confidence if you live in the same area.
"We have had tremendous support from Oxfordshire with people coming in to help from Gloucestershire and Aylesbury."
She said that she will continue to press for electoral reform.

South Hadley, Mass. - February 19, 2011 - The Springfield College women's swimming and diving team slipped into second place after day two of the 2011 NEWMAC Swimming and Diving Championship at Mount Holyoke College. After seven more events on Saturday, MIT overtook 10-time reigning champion Pride as the Engineers prevailed in five events to increase their point total to 614.5. Springfield remains in striking distance with 577.5 points. Meanwhile, the Coast Guard Academy rounds out the top three with 309 points.
Springfield's Kerry Lynch, Janella Cuyler, Kaitlin Reilly and Kellie Pennington completed the 200 medley relay race in 1:46.69 to secure second place, which provisionally qualified them for the NCAA Division III National Championships.
In the 400 IM, Meredith Trumbull swam a 4:39.18 to place third, while teammate Anna Woodward took eighth in 4:48.46.
Pennington notched her third victory of the weekend with her school record time 56.54 in the 100-yard butterfly. She was followed by Reilly (57.91), as both hit the NCAA "B" cut with their times. Kelsey Poole swam a 1:00.23 to place seventh for Springfield.
Aimee Doe took third in the 200 free (1:54.70), while Caroline Kosciusko took fifth (1:56.17), and Jaclyn Van Waalwijk (1:58.10) placed eighth.
Springfield landed three more in the top eight of the 100 breast, with Nicole Stracqualursi leading the charge with a fourth-place split of 1:08.05, out-touching Cuyler with swam a 1:08.06. Woodward also placed eighth for Springfield with a time of 1:09.34.
In the 100 back, Lynch touched in 59.82 to finish fourth, while Pennington, Doe, Reilly, and Kosciusko met the NCAA "B" standard in the 800 free relay in 7:39.98. Pennington's leadoff split of 1:52.59 also established a new pool and school record.

CATEGORIES CinematicalYes, everyone has their movie theater pet peeves, but sometimes you run into that person who goes above and beyond loud popcorn munching or excessive cell phone using. Let's talk about the people who downright ruin the show in the most ridiculous ways possible. The people who are not only distracting, but go to such extreme measures that it requires theater staff attention or maybe even police assistance.
I'll go first. Back in March when 'Ca$h' began its minimal run in theaters, I opted to check it out with my boyfriend. There were just five people in the theater, the two of us, two women and one other man. The two women sat three rows behind us and proceeded to talk the moment the movie began. About half way through, my boyfriend had enough. Little did he know that turning around and gently asking them to stop would turn into a movie time war. These two ladies continued to shout and curse at us and even get up and approach us at one point until a theater employee caught the off-screen action and called the police. These women screamed bloody murder until the men in blue arrived, escorted them out and let the three of us watch the last few minutes of the movie in peace.
The whole situation really blew my mind away. First off, who actually thinks it's okay to be chatting away during a film? Secondly, can we say anger management? These two women instantly got on the defensive after our innocent request. From there it was all out insanity with them threatening us while claiming we threatened them when in fact, no such thing ever happened. You go to the movies to sit down, relax and watch a movie. It's certainly not a hostile environment, but hey, things happen, and you come across those crazy people who'd work wonders on a reality TV show.
So, what about you? What's the craziest thing you've ever seen happen during a movie that wasn't in the actual movie?

This weekend, the New York Times ran a profile of international architectural photographer Iwan Baan. Iwan took a beautiful series of High Line photos in our first season, and we agree that there's something groundbreaking about his style. Fred Bernstein of the Times writes:
Mr. Baan sees buildings as backdrops for his photographs of people, he said during a recent visit to New York. Looking at a picture of the new Cooper Union building in the East Village, designed by Mr. Mayne, Mr. Baan said, "It's about the woman shuffling down the street." His work owes as much to Diane Arbus and Henri Cartier-Bresson as to Julius Shulman or Ezra Stoller, the pre-eminent architectural photographers of the late 20th century.
The staff of Friends of the High Line was deeply saddened to learn of the death of Clare Weiss, the Parks Department's Curator of Public Art, on January 11, 2010. During her tenure at Parks from 2005 to 2009, Clare helped organize 128 outdoor public art exhibitions, as well as 36 exhibits at the Arsenal Gallery in Central Park. She was a charter member of the High Line's Public Art Advisory Committee, which selected the High Line's first public art installation - Spencer Finch's The River That Flows Both Ways. Clare worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this city cultura
Section 2 construction is on a roll!
If you visit the park and peer through the chain-link fence at 20th Street, you'll notice some work happening on the surface of the High Line in the blocks to the north. The construction team has installed wire mesh above the lower (structural) concrete surface. The mesh provides bonding, flexibility, and additional strength to a 2" - 3" layer of "screed concrete" on the deck. This screed concrete will then be waterproofed, and the landscape installed on top.
The latest on the High Line's next section: the construction team recently removed FOURTEEN TONS of steel up at 30th Street to make way for the future stairs and elevator.
When Section 2 opens, 30th Street will be the northernmost access point on the High Line, at least until the Rail Yards section is built. The entrance is located right at "the curve", where the High Line begins its iconic sweep westward towards the Hudson River.
Like the stairs at Gansevoort Street and 14th Street, the 30th Street stairs will cut through the structure, bringing visitors face-to-face with the High Line's steel beams and rivets. Click through for a rendering.
To help our us get through the long, cold, and sometimes wet hours on the High Line this winter, the lovely folks at Swedish company Tretorn have donated several pairs of their warm and rugged rubber boots to our Maintenance & Operations and Administrative staff. According to their web site, "Tretorn celebrates a lifestyle largely lived outside." Whether we're shoveling snow, leading tours, or simply walking the High Line for some fresh air at lunchtime, we couldn't agree more!
Maeve, one of our five full-time gardeners, has been on staff since the High Line's opening this past June. Originally from England, Maeve grew up in Westfield, New Jersey, and first discovered her love for gardening while working at Morning Glory Farm on Martha's Vineyard, where she helped out with everything from seeding to planting to weeding. After Morning Glory, Maeve completed an internship at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden (which she says was "awesome"), then worked for a private gardening company. Each job, she says, was a unique experience, and affirmed that gardening is the work environment she enjoys most.
We were recently lucky enough to speak with a former New York Central Railroad employee named Ed Devlin. Sixty years ago, Ed worked at the rail yards that fed onto the High Line when it was part of a working railroad. He was kind enough to share his memories from long before the park in the sky was ever known as the High Line. ED: It was 1949, and I had just come out of the Marine Corps. I worked at New York Central from 1949 to 1953. My hours were 6:00 PM to 2:00 AM – devastating hours for a newlywed. Approximately once a week, I'd be sent over to the rail yards at 10th to 12th Avenue in the west 70's. My job was just to look at the freight train as it went by.
I would stand there near a spotlight and do two things. I had to write down the name of each freight car – New York Central, Bangor & Maine, Pennsylvania Railroad, Santa Fe, etc. – and the number on the car, which had something like nine or ten digits. And even though the train was moving at maybe eight or nine miles an hour, it went by fast. It was tricky. I had to remember the names and numbers and write quickly.
At first I wondered why I was doing this. And then I found out that each railroad would charge the other railroads a passage fee for using their tracks. Additionally, it was important to make sure the cars were in the right order for every building scheduled for the drop. The cars' numbers related to their proper order.
We're proud to announce the launch of our new High Line Web Shop!

Quick, which county has produced the most natural gas from horizontally drilled Marcellus Shale wells?
If you said Wetzel or Doddridge, think again — it's Harrison.
With almost five years of horizontally drilled Marcellus production now under the state's belt — or out from under it, if you prefer — it's finally worthwhile to have a look at the numbers.
Producers report their monthly well-by-well production volumes to the state Department of Environmental Protection by March 31 each year, and data through December 2011 recently became available online.
DEP Office of Oil and Gas Compliance Manager Gene Smith cautions that the data are not perfect and don't need to be for their purpose, which is really only to document whether a well is still producing or not. Numbers for some wells zero out implausibly for a month or two or, in at least one case, are reported at the same level for each month of each year.
But the database does offer the most complete profile we have of the state's industry.
The observations below are based on the West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey's Sept. 20 database of completed Marcellus wells, extracted from DEP's data, to which The State Journal added DEP's monthly production data for each producing well.
Most Production: Who & Where?
The first production from a well drilled horizontally into the Marcellus Shale in West Virginia began to flow in December 2007, according to the data. It was from a Chesapeake Appalachia well at Mason Dixon Farms in Marshall County.
The state's production has accelerated dramatically since then, up from 0.2 million thousand cubic feet, or mcf, in 2008 to 1.2 million mcf in 2009, 45 million mcf in 2010 and 142 million mcf in 2011.
Chesapeake is not only the first, but by far the biggest producer: Through 2011, it had the highest cumulative production in the state, at about 84 million mcf. Latecomer Antero Resources Appalachian Corp. — its first well began producing in August 2009 — came in second at 51 million mcf, and EQT Production, which started up in May 2008, was third at 33 million mcf.
Those three producers alone represent 84 percent of the state's cumulative horizontally drilled Marcellus production of just over 200 million mcf through 2011.
In 2011 alone, 21 companies produced gas in West Virginia from horizontally drilled Marcellus wells. Most productive was Chesapeake, at 51 million mcf from 86 producing wells, with Antero catching up at 41 million mcf from 48 wells. EQT, at third, produced 24 million mcf from 66 wells.
Horizontally drilled Marcellus production for 2011 came to 142 million mcf from 282 wells. Total natural gas production from all types of wells across the state is not yet available for 2011, but that 2011 Marcellus volume represents about half of the 287 million mcf that the West Virginia Oil and Natural Gas Association reports was produced from all wells in 2010.
Production from horizontally drilled Marcellus wells had been reported in 16 counties through 2011.
In 2010, Wetzel County was on top, with Harrison, Marshall and Doddridge following in that order.
But that was all shaken up in 2011. Harrison leapt to first place with 44 million mcf, 41 million of that from Antero. Wetzel County, Chesapeake territory, slipped to second in 2011 with 33 million mcf, while Doddridge County, dominated by EQT, had 24 million mcf. Marshall, also a Chesapeake county, fell just behind Doddridge at 22 million.
Extraction of oil and gas from shale formations really only got going in earnest in a few places in the second part of the last decade. Producers talk in their earnings calls about well productivity and what they're doing to improve it and, in some shale formations that were drilled a little earlier and have been exploited a lot more thoroughly than the Marcellus, analysts find that productivity is starting to decline.
But the Marcellus is young and productivity is still climbing.
Average production per well per month eked up from about 33,300 mcf in 2008 to 33,400 in 2009 and then leapt to 44,300 in 2010 and 57,300 in 2011. Through the latter part of 2011, it hovered around 60,000 mcf/well/month.
That measure aggregates older wells in decline with newer wells at or near their peak production, so it reflects the rate at which new wells are brought online as much as it reflects improvements in operator technology and skill.
But it also reflects the state of productivity of the reserves in general: Good well locations are still available.
How about a measure of productivity that does show growth in operator technology and skill — say, the first 12 months of production for each well, plotted over time?
Rejecting wells for which any of the first 12 months of production is reported as 0 — probably erroneously — leaves 91 wells that appear to have a good first year of data.
It's a small dataset with a lot of gaps and variability, but average productivity of the first 12 months can nevertheless be seen to have risen: from about 350,000 mcf for wells started within a year of that first December 2007 well to nearly 700,000 mcf for those started in 2011.
People also talk about decline: How fast does production taper off, and how much will the wells ultimately produce?
The production reports to DEP aren't detailed enough or of high enough quality to address those technical questions.
But not to dodge the question entirely, here's some context.
With about two and a half years of experience, Antero has estimated its average Marcellus "estimated ultimate recovery" or EUR at 9.9 billion cubic feet per well, with about 1.5 billion bcf extracted in the first year.
The most productive well in the state so far, an Antero well, produced 3,000,000 mcf from December 2009 through December 2011 — that's 3 bcf, or nearly a third of Antero's average EUR.
Even though this dataset isn't perfect, with more wells producing and more data reported, it will be possible to see more patterns.
Smith makes a plea to gas producers, some of which submit their production data electronically and others on paper.
"We have more people working than we've ever had," he said. "The electronic versions are all entered within a couple months. And we understand that there are mom and pop operations that don't have access to that technology. But when we get a big company submitting 3,000 pieces of paper …" he trailed off, then summarized, "the Office of Oil and Gas would appreciate all the data being submitted electronically."
Data for 2012 production probably won't be available until about this time next year.

Reds boss blasts predecessor Evans for Torres talk
10:30am Thursday 13th December 2012 in Crawley Town By Steve Hollis
Crawley boss Richie Barker has told predecessor Steve Evans to stop talking about his players.
Rotherham boss Evans went public with his desire to sign Reds midfielder Sergio Torres this week "if we could reach an agreement where Crawley paid some of his wages".
Barker said: "I don't talk about other people's players so I don't expect other managers to talk about mine. It is quite disrespectful. If he wants to sign someone he should contact the club."
The five players Crawley need to offload - in The Argus today

It's an interesting time to be a tourist in D.C. Visitors' photos of the Washington Monument include scaffolding, but at least the earthquake repairs are the result of Mother Nature.
The images they're snapping of the Lincoln Memorial are more upsetting, since the green paint on the structure appears to be the result of vandalism.
Cleanup crews were called in on Saturday to continue work on the memorial, but the splatters of green paint are still quite visible on Lincoln's legs, chair, and particularly the base of the statue.
The National Park Service says the team will be back out on Monday and that the damage to the marble is not permanent. While the memorial has been reopened to the public, a barrier still prevents the crowds from getting up close.
"Everyone wants to know why it would happen, and who did it," says Alec Thomas of Pittsburgh, who is visiting D.C. for the first time. Joan Mandala of New York calls it terrible, saying, "This is such a beautiful monument. It represents so many wonderful things. This is un-American, that's what this is."
Security cameras are posted around the monument and there is one just above the statue itself. The footage from Friday morning is being reviewed to help identify possible suspects, but a U.S. Park Police spokesperson says it won't be released to the public while the investigation is ongoing.
According to the U.S. National Park Service the green substance appears to be latex paint. The cleanup crews are taking their time to make sure it's removed carefully without any damage to the structure. The hope is to have it completed early next week.

Portland police homicide detectives continued Thursday to look into the death of a woman found dead at an apartment complex not far from the Portland State University campus.Someone called police around 10 p.m. Tuesday to report the woman dead in an apartment at the Collective Portland Apartments on the 2000 block of Southwest Park Avenue.
Police identified the victim as 33-year-old Jaime Larson. An autopsy was performed on her body on Wednesday. It showed she died of homicidal violence, police said.
Based on what officers initially saw in the apartment, homicide detectives and criminalists were called to the scene. Police have not released any information about the person who called police. Police have also not revealed yet how or when Larson died.
Tabitha McMurphy moved into the apartment complex three days ago. She said she saw a man leave the complex around 10 p.m., not long before police arrived."I didn't see his face. He had a backpack on and a hoodie," she said.
McMurphy said she has no idea whether the man is linked to the woman's death, but she gave a statement to detectives. Neighbors said Larson lived with her boyfriend in the apartment and they hadn't seen her in the last couple of days.
Court records obtained by FOX 12 show Larson filed for a restraining order earlier this year against a man by the name of Tim Ruppel, who at one point had also filed a restraining order against her. By March of this year, documents show both had filed motions in court to dismiss the orders.
According to Larson's Facebook page, she and Ruppel were involved in a romantic relationship for several years.
Portland police have talked with Ruppel since Larson's body was discovered, but investigators have not named any suspects in the case, they said.
Trevor Kuszmaul, who lives in the apartment complex where Larson's body was found, says he moved to Portland two months ago. He lost his own friend to violence in Las Vegas, NV, several weeks back, he said.
"Coming here and finding it right outside my window... I've never seen a forensic team or caution tape that close to where I live. It's pretty unnerving. It's pretty scary," Kuszmaul said.
David Silver, who has lived in the neighborhood for more than 10 years, said there are occasionally issues stemming from transients passing through the area."We have some problems from transients moving around through that area, from people who would not ordinarily be in the neighborhood being here," Silver said. "But it's generally quiet."
Investigators are asking anyone in the community who has information about Larson's death to call Portland police.

19 year old Brad Campbell is one hot stud, who is not afraid of the camera. Brad is from Tampa, FL and is a self proclaimed Pool Boy. Today though, he is here to jack off for you and he'd love nothing more that to have you join him, rubbing one out together. After his short intro, Brad gets right down to business. He strips down and pulls his cut cock through the opening in his boxers and begins stroking away. The boxers come off and Brad lays back on the bed, giving his cock a workout! He turns face down and ass up, giving his tool a firm rub and tug, while showing off his ass. He then begins stretching and fingering his hole. Brad lays back on the bed again and begins stroking his tool firmly, with a twist of the wrist with each stroke, delivering a thick and creamy cumshot across his well defined abs!
Latest Comments:
BRAD is awesomely handsome w/ a gorgeous cock and a beautiful pinkkiss man-hole. very sensual, too. LOVE this guy !
Talk about the BIG ONE!
Sorry, Brad is an average man.+
He is an average man.+
Sweet ass gorgeous cock/balls handsome young man. beautiful eyes.
Very un-impressive cum shot, which only scream, "I don't drink enough water in my diet"... can we say..'eewwwww'...
handsome young man w/ an awesome cock / balls. AND a beautiful arse ! i like him.
awesome boy next door and for all those catty remarks, lets face it, if he was YOUR pool boy you would be hiding behind the curtains stalking him and jerking off so hard you would rip your dicks off!
Brad is jut acerage, His cock is ok, his body ok, hi cunShou just O
BRAD is a handsome young man w/ a gorgeous cock, nice smooth body and a beyoutiful asshole ! very sexy and a nice cum.
I very much enjoyed the model as well as the photography. This young man was very pleasing for me to look at, I hope to see more.
Good model, much potential. Bad photographer !!
9/14/12--I wonder if there will be "a next time" for Brad. Just average looks to these eyes and where the heck in the TAN no Floridian can avoid (esp. if he works shirtless!!) He does flush notably & nicely as he approaches cumming wh/as lumpy says, we don't at all well--besides wh/ a large serving spoon would hold all this cum. Get a better photogr., one who teaches his would be studs to save up. Don't believe we saw a flaccid penis either, always nice pt. of comparison. Model maybe 6/7 but photoquality -1. Come on BP editors, you can and mosstly do do better.
Like this boi and for only nineteen,there is certainly good potential for further exposure in the porn industry.Nice overall hairy bod which is good to see...great hairy legs and a good butt hole which is well fingered begging for attention. Certainly an acceptable thick cum shot here and a real taste test would be in order. Some sex appeal with this boi too..that half beard unshaven look is appealingand sexy, however must agree the overall photography is a big disappointment.
Don't think he has a small dick. Completely agree with all the other comments. The photographer is incompetent.
I find this no-nonsense, straightforwar "Here's my dick" kind of session very sexy.
Why are all the cum shots with the camera pointing towards the hand and not on the other side where we could actually see the cum shot?
Great! Love his cut cock!!! i would suck on it!!! Handsome dude!!
Get rid of the amateur photographer.
Awesome body and cock. Unlike drawde, I like the size of his cock! And who wouldn't get lost in those blue eyes?
Brad Campbell photo opt had one problem, his closeups were out of focus. Nice bod and assets but diffinition was lacking. Flash
Brad is a manly man. Love his brow, fur, tatts and muscles. I could get lost in his eyes.
I like!!!
What a handsome young man - great smile - sparkling blue eyes and all the nice furry parts that would put a smile on anyone's face..now I have to start digging a pool for him!
Very,Very small DICK.
Oh Brad. Your butt is so sweetly hairy.

The bar was too old fashioned.
Close to Central Park, nice room styling
Rude staff, wouldn't answer even "good morning" in the lobby, waiting for tips only and after receiving them not even saying "thank You". Small bathroom, waited for an hour to get towels, which should be in the room when we arrived. Noise from AC from outside. We will not return as stuff made us feel so unwelcome.
Location! right on Central Park and near everything! Gorgeous scenes at every turn of the head.
OK city view. Wish we would have gone for the park view.
The view at Central Park and the hotel location.
One of the rooms did not have a minibar or refrigerator. There is no coffee maker which is not a good thing. No all day room service.
the bed and pillow was nice
The service at hotel, I must call for service and fig telephohe in the room more 3 time,
Fantastic location, fantastic night time city view.
Spacious room.
Bathroom fittings old and not clean, strangely fridge in bathroom, no bioiler or coffee maker in room, crowded lobby, no complementary wi fi access, safe box only operate with credit cards.
Location, easy access, expeditive check-in, courtesy of concierge, 2min walk to yellow subway line, 5 min walk to Apple Store
Wifi was expensive, small Lobby area
The absolute best location to really experience NYC !
Air Conditioning System could be updated or refurbished in order to allow quicker cooling of the rooms. This is only an issue a few months of the year...June, July, and August.
Location, location, location. My room overlooked the pond in Central park with glorious skyscraper views to boot. Waking up for a walk in the park a great way to start the day. My room was spacious, clean, comfortable. Check-in and Out staff, Cleaning staff, Harry's Bar and Restaurant staff terrific.
No tea- or coffee-making facilities in the room (but bizarrely, a small, empty fridge in the bathroom.) Could not get a response from Room Service and there was differing advice from staff as to whether Room Service still operated at all. An area of confusion. Hotel decor quite tired. Concierge and security staff quite brusque. Security relating to people coming and going into the lifts to the rooms was very hit and miss.
The location
Is this really a 4 star? It can't be more than 2! Dirty bathroom, stained floors, I have to pay 50 for parking per day. And the A/C was soon noisy!
The dirtiness of the guests! The 2nd floor toilets above the lobby (towards back doors) were quite like a public toilet every time we had to use it...
The shower was very old
Location, views, helpful staff
The size of our room was a pleasant surprise and the attentiveness of the hotel staff was superb. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it if you want to stay near Central Park South.
The air conditioning didn't work as efficiently as we would have preferred.
No welcoming upon arrival, we had to wait 4 hours for a room, the staff were not willing to help until we insisted, the duvets don't have covers, the bathrooms and rooms are old and not worth the price we paid
Very nice accomodations and location. Our room was quiet. No street noise. Bed was great.
Breakfast was expensive.
no coffee in room or mini bar in room. poor for a 4 star hotel.
L'emplacement,le personnel
Le bruit de la rue trop présent dans la chambre.
The view of the park from our room and tasteful and charming decoration of the room. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Staff's attitude , with the exception of the concierge and the cleaning ladies.
Location and bed
No fridge on rooms and paid wifi
The location is prime and that is what you are paying for. I found the staff to be friendly but they did not go out of their way to help you. There was a refrigerator in the room.
The beds were not the best for comfort. The water in both the tub and sink were slow to drain. When taking a shower you are in standing water. No free wifi, coffee or tea in room and you had to go to another floor to get ice.
The Reception and bathroom
The location is superb - very near a Fifth Avenue (one minute walk), on Central Park, close to MOMA. The staff was excellent and the room spacious for NYC. A great hotel.
The breakfast is fairly poor and I would not recommend it. On my second morning I just had a cup of coffee as the food is not particularly appetising.

Public Abstract:
The reprogramming of skin fibroblasts into pluripotent stem (iPS) cells represents a significant milestone towards the goal of developing stem cell therapies tailored to the patient. However, the reprogramming is slow and inefficient. A key step is the ability of four exogenously introduced transcription factors to turn on or activate the endogenous versions of their own genes, a process termed autoregulation. In fibroblasts, the genes for the endogenous transcription factor genes are turned off because they are assembled into a repressive structure termed silent chromatin. The repressive structure must be removed to activate the endogenous stem cell transcription factor genes. The efficiency by which the endogenous genes are activated is poorly understood. Dozens of different proteins assist the four transcription factors during the reprogramming process. However, little is known of how the dozens of proteins coordinate their actions to remove the silent chromatin structures and replace them with active chromatin. Our goal is to study this process and use the resulting knowledge to improve the efficiency of iPS cell formation. This process can be studied by recreating it in a test tube or in vitro. This biochemical recreation involves three steps: 1. Generating highly pure versions of the four transcription factors. 2. Reproducing the silent chromatin environment of the gene. 3. And finally, identifying each of the steps involved in reactivating the endogenous genes. We have developed a technology that permits us to biochemically recreate silent chromatin on the transcription factor genes in vitro. We then attach the silent chromatin to magnetic beads, add protein mixtures from disrupted stem cells, and use magnets to capture beads with the attached proteins, which are in the process of converting silent chromatin to active chromatin. This "immobilized template capture" technique also allows us to delineate the steps involved in the reprogramming process. The proteins are identified by a state-of-the-art method known as multidimensional protein identification technology (MuDPIT). By combining the immobilized template and MuDPIT techniques, we will be able to provide detailed knowledge about how autoregulation is achieved. As such, we will be able to determine which specific steps are limiting in the conversion of fibroblast to iPS cells. Knowledge of the mechanism of stem cell gene regulation is essential for fully understanding stem cell self-renewal and the transition of fibroblasts to iPS cells. The information can be utilized to improve the efficiency of iPS cell formation.
Statement of Benefit to California:
California is investing 6 billion dollars in stem cell research with much of the principal being spent in the first 10-15 years on research and development. To date, much research has focused on the therapeutic potential of stem cells and understanding a few fundamental aspects of how stem cells self renew and differentiate. A major gap in our understanding lies in the most basic aspect of stem cell biology, the mechanics by which stem cell genes are regulated. To fully understand and to optimally manipulate the technology, a significant amount of basic knowledge must be obtained. The lack of basic mechanistic knowledge is what initially limited gene therapy and immunotherapy from achieving clinical application. For example, in gene therapy, we knew how to design therapeutic genes but knew little about how to deliver and regulate them. The situation has improved considerably in recent years, driven not by new technologies per se, but due to an investment in understanding basic mechanisms. We are now starting the same process with stem cells. Our technology and knowledge base have improved considerably but there are large gaps. Few scientists doubt the potential. However, many overestimate our knowledge base and ability to achieve therapeutic goals. It is important that we determine at the most basic level how stem cell genes are regulated. We know that four gene regulatory factors, when added to skin fibroblasts, can convert these into stem cells. However, we do not know precisely how they do this. To date, CIRM has invested heavily in labs trying to understand the functions of these four transcription factors in living cells. However, in the gene regulation field of biology, many of the major advances derived from biochemical or in vitro studies. My laboratory works on the fundamental aspects of how genes are regulated. We have recreated key events in a test tube. We have developed new biochemical approaches for determining how stem cell genes are regulated and for understanding how the four transcription factors function when bound to chromatin. Our studies will provide insight into and understanding of the processes by which stem cells self renew and differentiate. As such, the basic knowledge will help further the transition of into stem cells into clinical applications.
Review Summary:
This proposal is focused on the molecular events that occur at the promoters of key regulators of pluripotency during reprogramming of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). The general strategy is to reconstitute the minimal transcriptional machinery, called the "enhanceosome", on DNA templates representing the promoters of Nanog, Oct4 and Sox2 and then use histone modifications to mimic active or repressive chromatin states. In Aim 1, the applicant proposes to characterize how recombinant Oct4, Sox 2, Klf4, Myc and Nanog proteins interact and assemble into functional enhanceosomes at these promoters. In Aim 2, the applicant will incubate human embryonic stem cell (hESC) extracts with this system and identify co-factors in hESCs required for transcription using multidimensional protein identification technology. Finally, in Aim 3, the applicant proposes to use the information derived from Aims 1 & 2 to improve iPSC derivation. Reviewers expressed divergent opinions about the significance and potential impact of this proposal. One reviewer found it to be highly important, as little is known about the basic transcriptional mechanisms of reprogramming. This reviewer also found the proposal innovative because, although these technologies have been extensively applied to other transcription factors, the use of the approach in studying cellular reprogramming is novel. However, another reviewer raised significant concerns about the relevance of the "completely artificial" system described in the proposal. This reviewer asserted that minimally recapitulated chromatin structures using artificial DNA and recombinant proteins would be unlikely to yield physiologically relevant data. Furthermore, this reviewer questioned the novelty of the proposal, since most of the proteins that bind to these promoters are already known. Reviewers agreed that the research plan is feasible but raised a number of issues with the experimental design. They found the preliminary data convincing, demonstrating the ability to produce functional recombinant proteins and induce chemical modification of histones. However, there were concerns about several key assumptions such as whether the modified histones would be appropriately spaced and whether higher order chromatin structure (which would not be recreated in the in vitro system) would be important. Reviewers also questioned the assumption that the pluripotency factors themselves recruit additional factors critical for reprogramming rather than acting by activating other genes that mediate reprogramming; the latter possibility would be missed by the proposed approach. There was also concern that the second specific aim was too open-ended and was not sufficiently supported by preliminary data. Reviewers praised the applicant as an excellent investigator with a very productive track record and many years of experience studying transcription in vitro. They agreed that the applicant has assembled a strong research team, which is eminently qualified to carry out the proposed experiments. Overall, reviewers appreciated the mechanistic focus of this proposal and the applicant's expertise. However they raised a number of significant concerns about the research plan and the physiological relevance of its approach. PROGRAMMATIC REVIEW A motion was made to move this proposal into Tier 1 in order to add a very basic, discovery research proposal to CIRM's portfolio. CIRM staff noted that there was a large standard deviation of reviewer scores for this application. The reviewers summarized their opinions about the strengths and weaknesses of the proposal. The motion failed. MINORITY REPORT The vote of the GWG on the motion to advance this proposal to Tier 1 was 8 For, 9 Against, and 1 Abstention. The minority who supported recommending the proposal for funding felt that the strengths far outweighed the proposal's weaknesses. Their support for advancement of the proposal to Tier 1 was largely based on the following points: The PI is an expert in the field and will bring extensive knowledge and experience in analysis of transcriptional complexes to stem cell biology Proposed research comprises a novel, reductionist approach to study regulation of induced pluripotency Project has potential to provide a promising discovery tool for the field

The cost of owning and operating a vehicle in the U.S. has increased by 1.96 percent, AAA's annual 'Your Driving Costs' study reported.
The study says the average cost rose 1.17 cents to 60.8 cents per mile, or $9,122 per year based on 15,000 miles driven each year.
John Nielsen, AAA Director of Automotive Engineering and Repair said that changes in maintenance, fuel and insurance costs all attributed to this year's increase.
Maintenance costs rose 11.26 percent, the largest percentage increase from the study. AAA's estimates are based on the cost to maintain a vehicle and perform repairs for five years and 75,000 miles. Labor expenses, replacement parts and extended warranties all account for growth.
Gas prices were stable compared to last year, partially due to fuel economy rating improvements for several vehicles in the study. The average cost of regular grade fuel did increase from $3.357 to $3.486 per gallon, but vehicle fuel economy ratings helped to mitigate the rise.
Insurance costs rose 2.76 percent, or $28, to $1029 each year. AAA says quotes from five AAA clubs and insurance companies in seven states reported increases for all sedan sizes. The study showed smaller increases in large cars.
AAA first published 'Your Driving Costs' in 1950. Driving a car 10,000 miles per year cost 9 cents per mile, and gasoline sold for 27 cents per gallon.
Findings of the 2013 ' Your Driving Costs' study, based on 15,000 miles driven annually:
Small sedan: $6,967/year
Medium sedan: $9,151/year
Large sedan: $11,248
Sedan average: $9,122
Minivan: $9,795

There's something about Earl Boykins that's impermanent. He is the definition of NBA journeyman -- there's no way any team, at this point, will sign him to a multi-year deal. He's completely inconsistent; these big nights come out of nowhere, disappear just as quickly as they arrived, and return randomly in the future. Boykins scored 20 to lead the Milwaukee Bucks over the Atlanta Hawks 98-90 on Wednesday, with 11 coming in the fourth.
The Bucks had trailed by 11 entering the fourth, but Atlanta shot itself out of the game. The Hawks shot 5-21 in the final quarter; Josh Smith was 1-6 and Joe Johnson was 1-4. Boykins, meanwhile, was 4-5 and teammate Carlos Delfino scored nine in the quarter on 3-5 shooting. For a team starved of offensive production -- despite the regular presence of Corey Maggette, perhaps a charter member of the All-21st Century Offense With No Defense Team. (Maggette did score 21 before fouling out.)
Atlanta hasn't been on a skid, but there have been some eye-opening losses here, between this loss to an injury-riddled Bucks squads and that epic beatdown by the Hornets. The Hawks draw the Knicks on Friday. That should be a nice test of where this team is at.
In other action ...
Magic 111, Pacers 96: Orlando overcame 27 points by Danny Granger to win waltzing away in Indianapolis. Roy Hibbert continued to shuffle around without aim or traction, and Dwight Howard racked up 19 points and 16 rebounds.
Nets 93, Grizzlies 88: New Jersey has won four of five since abandoning the Carmelo Anthony trade, and the Grizzlies can't get out of their own way. Memphis could have gotten to .500 with a win. Anthony Morrow, without question the Nets' best free agent pick-up, sprung for 19 off the bench. Memphis hit 9-17 on three-pointers. Memphis hit 2-12.
76ers 107, Raptors 94: DeMar DeRozan continued his scoring rampage with 29, but Philadelphia's action on the offensive glass and hot shooting from key players sent Toronto to its ninth straight loss. Marreese Speights had 23 points in 17 minutes for Philly, abusing the Raptors' zone in the second quarter.
Nuggets 109, Pistons 100: Carmelo Anthony shot just 5-16 on his way to 18 points, but he added 10 rebounds and seven assists as Denver leaped over the Utah Jazz for the No. 6 spot in the West. The Nuggets have won seven of nine, and face the Cavaliers on Friday. Tracy McGrady had 14 points, eight assists and six rebounds for the Pistons.
Rockets 96, Clippers 83: Blake Griffin indeed played, but not terribly well by his standards, putting up 14 points on 5-16 shooting with 11 rebounds. Kyle Lowry was the star, with 20 points on 7-13 shooting, eight assists and six rebounds. The teams combined to shoot 38.8 percent, and I promise it's not because they are good defensive teams.
Bobcats 114, Suns 107: Charlotte has started its Western road trip with two straight wins after defeating the Suns. Steve Nash scored 27 points and handed out 15 assists, but the Bobcats shot way more efficiently than they ever ought to (thanks, Phoenix defense!). Kwame Brown had another double-double. Charles Oakley is coming for your children. (Don't worry. He just wants to make them rebounding beasts.)

A 15-year-old charged with murdering a baby in Brunswick says even he was surprised when the shooter fired his gun.Police arrested De'Marquise Elkins and Dominique Lang in the shooting death of 13-month-old Antonio Santiago in March. Authorities said that the two were attempting to rob the baby's mother, Sherry West. Elkins is currently on trial in the fatal shooting. The trial is being held in Cobb County due to the attention the case received.On Wednesday, during a motions hearing while the jury was out of the courtroom, Lang told a judge that he had just met Elkins minutes before the shooting. Lang said that he and Elkins were walking down a Brunswick street when they saw West and her baby in a stroller. Lang said that Elkins quickly confronted West."He asked her for her purse. She kept refusing," said Lang.Lang, who is also charged with murder, said that his older acquaintance, who he had only seen around the neighborhood, was persistent."He slapped her with the gun….He threatened the baby," said Lang.The 15-year-old said that even he couldn't believe what happened next."He came around the stroller, she came around the other way and he shot," Lang said. "She said, 'Help, help.' And I turned my head and heard the third shot."Lang is expected to be a key witness for the state. Elkins' lawyers wanted to throw out Lang's identification of Elkins as the trigger man during a police interview; the judge ruled the testimony will be allowed.

James Jesus Angleton: CIA Spy Hunter
"As Phony As a $3 Bill"
The CIA's inability to break Nosenko created a problem for Angleton and the Fundamentalists, who held firmly to their belief that the man was a fraud despite all evidence to the contrary. Angleton said that Nosenko's superhuman stamina only proved his point that the KGB was insidious and extraordinarily skilled in the art of espionage. Angleton now feared that there could be moles anywhere, and he vetoed many operational initiatives, particularly those by the Soviet Division. Angleton felt that no one could be trusted, and as a result, Soviet Division programs nearly ground to a halt. The Counterintelligence Staff and the Soviet Division were frequently at odds. It came down to one central question: Whose worldview was the CIA going to accept? Angleton's and Golitsyn's? Or Nosenko's?
Solie took custody of Nosenko and had him transferred first to a more comfortable safe house and then to a farmhouse not far from Washington. He interviewed Nosenko intensively but not cruelly, five hours a day, six days a week. Solie learned that in Nosenko's previous interrogations, the defector had revealed the identities of six verified moles in Europe, but Angleton had suppressed that information. When called on it, Angleton passed off these moles as "throwaways," minor players sacrificed by the KGB to deceive the CIA into thinking Nosenko was genuine. Angleton requested that Solie be taken off the Nosenko case, but Director Helms refused, and Solie continued his investigation.
Nosenko agreed to take a third polygraph test, and this time proper procedures were followed. Nosenko was not harassed or threatened before or during the test, and the results showed that he was telling the truth. But Angleton refused to accept these results, holding to his position that Nosenko was a fake sent to discredit Golitsyn. Helms called a meeting to review Solie's report on Nosenko, hoping to put the matter to rest once and for all, but Angleton did not attend. Instead, he sent one of his deputies, who voiced Angleton's and the Fundamentalists' position that Nosenko was "as phony as a $3 bill." Seeing that the CI chief wasn't going to back down, Helms declined to formally sign off on Solie's conclusions, which let Angleton save face.
The CIA allowed the FBI to interview Nosenko for the first time in 1968. With the information he supplied, they were able to apprehend nine Soviet spies operating in the United States.
On March 1, 1969, Nosenko was finally set free. He had been held captive a total of 1,277 days. During that time, he had lost 40 pounds and most of his teeth. The CIA gave him a new identity and hired him as a consultant at an annual salary of $16,500, a fraction of what they were paying Golitsyn. Nosenko rented a small apartment in Maryland and bought himself an American car with the help of CIA loan. Despite all that indignities he had suffered, he was not bitter, and reportedly he was just happy to be free man in America.
He asked just one thing of the CIA: the return of his prized Swiss watch, which had been taken away from him during his four-year ordeal. He was told that it had regrettably been lost, and was offered $500 in compensation. But according to author Tom Mangold, years later Nosenko happened to see the doctor who had given him the sadistic rectal exam and noticed that the man was wearing his watch. Nosenko said nothing and never complained about it.
In 1975, out of curiosity, Nosenko looked up Angleton's home phone number and called him, hoping to get some closure on the matter of his detention. The conversation was brief, and Angleton said he had nothing to do with Nosenko's treatment, but he stated point-blank that he still believed Nosenko was a fraud.
The CIA did not give Nosenko full recognition for his help until after Angleton retired.

Dudley canal fans offer a prize in a class of its own
Updated 11:41am Monday 6th January 2014 in Local
DUDLEY canal enthusiasts are offering creative young people the chance of a day trip in a class of its own.
Young poets and artists and up to 50 schoolmates will be able to take a daytrip on the new Under and Over Dudley tour, a joint trip by Dudley Canal Trust Trips and Wren's Nest Nature Reserve, if they are successful in the Trust's Creative Canals competition.
The UK's poet laureate for canals, Jo Bell, will be head judge for poetry submissions and Black Country canal artist, Julie Tonkin, will lead the artistic judging panel.
June Hodgetts, from Dudley Canal Trust Trips, said: "We hope to pique the children's interest in canals, as well as give them a focus to show their creative side."
Children between five and 11 can submit an 'on the canal' themed artwork, or a poem entitled 'creature on the canal'.
Winners will be picked for each category for the five to seven and eight to 11 age groups.
The competition is also open to recognised groups including scouts and guides.
Teachers and group leaders can download a full competition pack from www.dudleycanaltrust.co.uk and the deadline for entries is the end of February.
