FT. WORTH, TX - The Jackson State baseball team won its 15th Southwestern Athletic Conference Championship by beating the Prairie View A&M Panthers 6-2 Sunday at LaGrave Field.
With the win JSU picks up its first conference championship since 2000. The title is also the first for head coach Omar Johnson at Jackson State.
"It feels good to win this championship," said head Johnson. "We thought we had good enough teams in years past, but have not been able to get it done. You have to have some good breaks and I guess you have to be patient."
The Tigers never trailed in the game and scored their first two runs of the game in the third inning when Gary Thomas and Bryce Taylor scored. The Panthers cut the lead to 2-1 in the fourth. JSU quickly responded scoring two runs in the fifth when Charles Tillery and Taylor scored on a Jose Cruz single to make the score 4-1.
JSU added a run in the sixth, as Stephen Curtis doubled to score Aneko Knowles and another in the eighth when Nick Marigny scored on a Curtis groundout. PVAM scored in the ninth to make the final score 6-2.
Alexander Juday (7-3), who was named the tournament MVP, pitched the complete game en route to the win. In nine innings of action he allowed nine hits and had nine strikeouts. Juday recorded his sixth complete game of the season.
"Juday started the season as our set up man," said Johnson. "But when we got some players hurt he stepped up as a number one pitcher."
Gary Thomas finished with two hits and a run in the championship game. Cruz and Curtis each recorded a hit and two RBI.
The game will be aired in its entirety Monday, May 20 at 9:00 p.m. on ESPNU.

This Is just my own personal opinion on what I expect from each of our players but also what I hope for
D.J. Augustin- D.J. is in my opinion the best player on the Bobcats and knows he is in a lame duck sitiuation so I honestly expect him to have a big year to keep his starting role and try and get teams interested in his services. I personally hope D.J. has a great year and hopefully has an all star caliber season and make it easy to trade him for something good.
I expect- 18 PPG, 8 APG I hope for- 21 PPG, 9 APG
Kemba Walker- Hopefully the future of the Bobcats. I dont think Kemba will be a big factor this year due to no off season but he will be a factor. I think that he will bring the scoring we need while also just sitting back and learning behind Augustin. I think he will be on the bench most of the year unless D.J. is traded.
I expect ( if on bench) 8 PPG, 2 APG I expect (if starting) 12 PPG, 6 APG I hope (if bench) 12 PPG, 5 APG I hope (If starting) 16 PPG, 8 APG
Gerald Handerson- Hendo one of the most controversial Bobcats this year. This is his try out year to see if he has what it takes to be a starting SG in the NBA. I think Hendo will prove the doubter wrong and become a more consistent scorer this year.
I expect- 16 PPG, 4 RPG, 1.5 SPG I hope- 18 PPG, 6 RPG, 3.0 SPG
Reggie Williams- The newest Bobcat and biggest and probably best aquisition this year. He will come in and be one of the best if not the best scorer on the team. I think Williams will be one of the best 6th men in the league but will not compete for 6th men of the year due to the Bobcats more then likely record.
I expect- 11 PPG I hope- 15 PPG
Matt Carroll- A former fan favorite has fallen so far. I think Matt will be a bench rider this year and thats about it
I expect- 3 PPG I hope- 6 PPG
Corey Maggette- He has a big burden on his shoulders this year. I think Mags will accept his role as a veteren leader and be the Bobcats leading scorer a long with it.
I expect- 20 PPG, 5 RPG I hope- 25 PPG, 7 RPG
Derrick Brown- I think he will be given a good bit of miniutes and opportunity to prove he can be a factor on this team.
I expect- 5 PPG I hope- 8 PPG
Dante Cunningham- Im not sure if he will be on the team yet but if he is he will be one of the Bobcats big bench players this year,
I expect- 6 PPG I hope- 8 PPG
Boris Diaw- Hopefully he doesnt gain anymore weight but Boris will be Boris.
I expect- 13 PPG, 5 RPG, 4 APG I hope- 16 PPG, 8 RPG, 5 APG
Tyrus Thomas- He was thought to be our franchise PF but im not sure anymore but I think him and Reggie Williams will be great 6th men if he isnt starting over Boris.
I expect- 14 PPG, 7 RPG I hope- 17 PPG, 8 RPG
Eduardo Najera- I dont think he will ever play
I expect- 1 PPG, 1 RPG I hope- 3 PPG , 4 RPG
D.J. White- One of my favorite bench players I expect to have a good season and continue to be a great spark off the bench and role player.
I expect- 7 PPG I hope - 9 PPG
DeSagana Diop- I doubt he stays healthy the whole year but hopefull he plays in most games and I expect him to start if no other moves are made. He has never had starting miniutes so you never know.
I expect- 6 PPG, 7 RPG I hope- 10 PPG, 9 RPG
Melvin Ely- He will probably just be a depth guy and just hang out but he will start some games due to injuries that Diop will more then likely face.
I expect- 2 PPG, 3 RPG I hope- 4 PPG, 5 RPG
Bismack Biyombo- Im not sure if he signs this year but if he does he will probably sit on the bench and learn because this is one of the most radioactive rookies in the league and this will either turn out good or really bad.
I expect- 5 PPG, 6 RPG I hope- 8 PPG, 10 RPG
Charlotte Bobcats- My outlook on this team as a whole is that we will not be very good and I hope we arent if we are not a playoff team. I dont want to be mediocre I want to be in the playoffs of suck completely and I dont care says im disgusting for it because everyone is thinking it and it doesnt make you less of a fan for thinking it when it is pretty much a guarantee. I know I might have been a little generouse on some of these players if not all of them and their may be some homerism in here but this is just how I feel about our team.

I was poking around a few make money online and paid survey forums the other day and there was a lot of talk about a new survey panel with a bizarre name: Tellwut.
Because I was curious (and because I'm always looking for quality, legit survey panels to join) I signed up. And today I wanted to post my Tellwut review so you can learn about this up and coming survey site.
Bottom line: I recommend that you join Tellwut today. However, it's important to note that they only accept people 14 years of age or older that are based in the US or Canada.
Overview of Tellwut
Although this panel hasn't been around as long as Ipsos and some others, it does have the credibility indicators that I look for in a panel. Before pulling the trigger and singing up, I went to their official site and started poking around to see how transparent they were (by the way, this is a habit I recommend getting into).
Remember: when you first come across a survey panel you should ignore the bells and whistles and find out if they're legit. Too many honest, hard-working people get ripped off after seeing a new site offering $100 surveys. You need to get your hands dirty and learn more about new panels (especially those that don't have a lot of reviews yet) before signing up.
Everything at Tellwut was as I like to see it: lots of active members, no unrealistic promises, and an easy to find contact form. So far so good. I checked out the BBB, but they weren't listed there. Honestly, I do prefer to see BBB listed panels, but it's not the end of the world. Overall, my gut told me this was a legit site that I should join.
Is The Site Any Good?
Obviously you're interested in how you can get paid from filling out paid surveys, so I'll get right to the good stuff: rewards and payments. The good news is, the rewards points you get from this panel are quite generous. For example, you get 100 points just for signing up and each survey tends to pay fairly well. And like CashCrate, they have a really awesome and straightforward referral program (more on that later).
After confirming my email and signing in for the first time, I was absolutely floored by the number of surveys available to me. Typically, when I join a panel I only get 1-2 surveys for the first week so they have a chance to see if I'm a serious panelist or not. This definitely wasn't the case with Tellwut. And if you're one of the many survey panelists that can't seem to get enough invitations, then you'll love this panel.
To give you an idea of the number of panels they have available, check out this screenshot from my account:
Yes, that's 191 surveys! Let me clear my calender now because I've got serious work to do.
What's even more impressible is that the surveys they offer are VERY brief. I'm talking 6-10 simple check box questions. Sure, they only pay 10 points or so per completed survey, but they only take a few minutes to finish. As someone that's been taking marathon-level surveys lately I was pumped about finishing 10-15 surveys in an hour.
You're probably wondering what types of questions you'll be answering as a panelist at Tellwut. Unlike many survey panels, this one doesn't seem to have any sort of specialty or focus. Sometimes I'll be giving my opinion on tattoos, then about my regrets in life and a few minutes later I'll find myself discussing the finer points of the Coke vs. Pepsi debate. This definitely keeps things interesting.
Rewards Points
How do rewards at Tellwut work? It's a pretty simple rewards website: you get approximately 5-10 points for every survey that you fill out (in my experience, about 75% of their surveys are worth 10 points). As mentioned above, they hook you up with 100 points just for joining. And if you decide to give them some of your personal information (which helps them improve their survey accuracy by providing their business partners with better information) you'll get some extra points as well.
You'll need to rack up at least 4,000 points in order to redeem your rewards. 4,000 points is equivalent to $10 Amazon Rewards card. And if you participate more often and rack up a ton of points (which I'm aiming to do), you can get some pretty cool stuff, like an Motorola tablet and gift cards to top retailers like Best Buy. Accumulating a lot of points won't happen overnight, but if you grind and work hard at filling out surveys and referring friends, it will happen.
Survey Software Tools For Small and Large Businesses
I do want to point out a feature of this panel that makes it unique from some others: small business market research. If you've spent any amount of time at top survey panels you can usually figure out what company is behind each survey. And for the most part they tend to be massive multinational corporations.
That's obviously not a bad thing, but I like the fact that Tellwut works with small businesses that are often on the cutting edge of technology and the web. And they offer every business a free trial so that frugal business owners have chance to try the service before paying anything.
Referral Program
If you've ever become a member of Swagbucks (you can read my review of that survey panel here) then you already know how many rewards points you can earn from referring friends and family members. Tellwut hooks you up with 25 points for every person you refer to their program that signs up. Obviously, the more people you send the more points you get earn so you might want to look beyond Facebook and Twitter and actually find some other ways of recruiting people. You can learn more about their referral program (and their site in general) by heading to their homepage here.

Boston may be thousands of miles from Albuquerque and Boulder, but years before these trendy locales began luring athletes, Boston truly was the Hub of the running community.
While lacking the climate, altitude and terrain of these western running meccas, Boston's status as one of the nation's great running cities rests safely on the shoulders of its history. From Clarence DeMar to Bill Rodgers to Alberto Salazar, some of our greatest champions have called the Boston area home at one time or another.
According to Rodgers, "The cool thing about Boston is that it is a running town for a lot of reasons. I think one of the reasons is all the college students—they are all out there. It is a young city, a high energy place."
In addition to providing a large number of young, active bodies, the colleges also boast a collection of the finest indoor tracks in the country. Boston is home to three high-tech banked indoor ovals (Harvard, Boston University, and the Reggie Lewis Center) as well as a number of traditional 200 meter indoor and 400 meter outdoor tracks.
Hopefully only the worst winter days will keep you inside, however, so for the majority of the year you can enjoy a diverse selection of routes in and around Beantown.
If you're looking for competition, then you won't have to go far. Boston offers the best on both the elite and local levels. In August, two of the world's great road races take place just a short drive from the city, with the Peoples Beach to Beacon 10K just up the coast in Maine followed by the SBLI Falmouth Road Race one week later.
Within the greater Boston area you'll find such events as the Tufts Health Plan 10K for Women, the Mayor's Cup Cross Country Series at Franklin Park, and any number of high-powered indoor track meets for competitors and spectators of all ages. Want something low-key? Then you can head to Fresh Pond in Cambridge where 2.5 and 5 mile races are held every Saturday morning for whomever shows up.
And then, of course, there's that little 26.2 mile jaunt from Hopkinton into Boston every Patriots Day.

According to an e-mail sent out to the Boston Muslim American Society listserve, Dr. Saadadine El-Othmani, the general secretary of the Party of Justice and Development (PJD), the leading "moderate" Islamic party in Morocco, is coming to Cambridge, MA this Saturday. He's been a member of the Morrocan Parliament since 1997. We are delighted to have an esteemed visitor come to the Boston area. He'll be speaking Saturday, May 13 at 3:30 at the Kennedy-Longfellow School, 158 Spring Street, in Cambridge, MA.
The e-mail notes that "Dr. Ohtmani represents a leading figure in the mainstream moderate Islamic thought and activism." The PJD, however, on its website states that its goal is to establish an Islamic state in Morroca, where sharia law governs all aspects of life. The Party advocates a total ban on alcohol in Morroco, segregated beaches for men and women , phasing out the liquor industry, and establishing Islamic banks. Mustapha Ramid, a senior party leader, said the PJD would like Islamic sharia law -- including cutting off thieves' hands -- to be applied in Morocco. "Long-term, we want sharia applied completely," he said. Rabbah also said he found it "incredible" that some young Moroccan women wear revealing clothes.
An IslamOnline article from March reports that "Othmani and other party officials are expected next month to begin trips to France, the United States and other countries to drum up support for the PJD's program." Hmmm, now why exactly would a Morrocan politician come to Cambridge to drum up support for his party? This seems unusual to me. What sort of support - financial? political pressure from Muslim advocacy groups to the US government? I encourage people to attend this event.

Inaugural competition will measure the global impact of each nation's scientific research to determine the world's research champion
PHILADELPHIA, June 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Intellectual Property and Science business of Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source of intelligent information for businesses and professionals, today announced the launch of the inaugural Thomson Reuters Analytics World Challenge, a unique competition designed to measure the research impact of countries participating in the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) World Cup tournament. The competition will begin Wednesday, June 4, and close with the naming of the global research champion on Monday, July 14. The Analytics World Challenge can be followed on Twitter @InCites_TR and the Analytics World Challenge website.
The FIFA World Cup may celebrate the football prowess of the 32 participating countries, but the Analytics World Challenge will put their scientific research efforts to the test. Beginning Wednesday, June 4, Thomson Reuters Analytics World Challenge will align the competing countries in five rounds of weekly competition to determine which country will be awarded the title of Global Research Champion.
Winners will be identified by reports pulled from Thomson Reuters InCitesTM, the leading web-based research analytics platform enabling institutions and governments to measure research output and impact, monitor trends, and benchmark performance against peers at the individual, departmental and global levels. The reports will be based on InCites indicators such as a country's percentage of international and industry collaborations as well as highly cited and hot papers. Highly cited papers constitute the top one percent of papers in a research field published in a specified year, while hot papers are those published within the past two years that received a high rate of citations in the most recent two-month period, placing them in the top 0.1 percent of papers in their field.
Football and research fans alike are invited to submit brackets with their predictions of the winners. Participants will be awarded one point for each correct guess. At the conclusion of the contest, the 20 entrants with the most points will each be awarded a $75 USD Amazon gift card. The final deadline for submission is 4:00 p.m. GMT, Friday, June 13. Early bird bonus points will be awarded to any participants submitting by June 6.
"We are excited to host the first-ever Analytics World Challenge to celebrate the international research impact and scholarly collaboration of the countries participating in the World Cup," said Gordon Macomber, managing director of Scientific and Scholarly Research at Thomson Reuters. "As an industry leader in evaluating the performance and impact of research on a global level, Thomson Reuters InCites offers a unique perspective of each country's efforts."

I'm excited about this fight as it pits two contrasting styles against one another. One thing I like about Abraham is that he doesn't waste a lot of movement or unnecessary punch out put.
Dirrell is definitely an all around boxer and while some don't like his style, it works for him.
I think Dirrell has heard the criticism of those that say he moves too much and thats why (I feel) he was flat out robbed against Froch. He may stay in range a split second longer against Arthur because of that. He better not get into a "trading punches" forray because Arthur does pack a punch.
I think Abraham is going to "sell out" and get hit with jabs to get inside to land his body work to slow Dirrell down.
Dirrell I think most can agree can outbox Arthur and I think that'll happen. Someone here made a point that these fights in the tourney if they go to decision will more than likely favor the hometown combatant and I agree with that.
I'm going to say Dirrell will give Arthur his first "L".

Madison Square Garden's Headliner - A Possible Earnings Miss
Alpha Now at Thomson Reuters • Thu, Aug. 14
- Lower operating profits and poor performance by the Knicks likely to dampen earnings at MSG.
- What a difference a year makes. Last year we predicted that MSG would report a positive Predicted Surprise, which it did.
- This year we predict that MSG will miss estimates. The NBA Knicks are partly to blame as they failed to make the playoffs this year.
- Will MSG's earnings outlook make it a star player or an understudy?

The first videos from the aftermath of the shooting at the premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Aurora, Colo. have appeared on social media sites.
One YouTube video, posted by user tiltwolfe shows customers leaving the theater. One man is apparently covered in blood as others check each other for injuries.
(Click here to watch.)
Another video is reportedly police scanner traffic recorded during the incident.
The recording documents the moments following the shooting, including a report that a woman had been shot in the face and the chest and a request that a "bomb dog" be sent to the theater.
(Click here to listen.)
Reddit user themurderator said he was shot in the incident and posted images of his gunshot wound and shirt covered in blood:
(Warning: This image is extremely graphic.) Click here to view.
One of the most chilling Tweets from the incident came from KUSA reporter Brandon Rittiman (@brandonrittiman). It read: "Something bad has happened at an Aurora movie theater near I-25 & Alameda. Working on solid info. Lots of ambulances & PD."
When Rittiman arrived at the scene he posted a photo that captured the lights from the massive police presence at the theater.
(Click here to view.)
Inside, theatergoers were tweeting about the incident.
@ZachEtake38 posted, "Have just evacuated our theater in Aurora. There was a shooting in our auditorium. I am safe." He followed with a tweet to @9news, "a little shaken up at the moment. all i can remember is hearing noises and seeing smoke in our auditorium."
@Abenezer posted, "We was watching a movie and fire alarm goes off. We step outside&there are 50 police cars& cops with guns. A couple people shot."
@B_Dozier: "they threw a flash bang thing & there was smoke everywhere . then they just started shooting , a lot . it was like one guy though"
Thousands of people watched a video posted on YouTube of Trey Freeman and DeJonte Harris talking about witnessing the attack:
"Even when he threw the first tear bomb, nobody really reacted until it exploded, then everybody dropped to the ground and couldn't see, couldn't breathe and covered their noses," they said. "He's shooting little kids. He's shooting adults."
Among those Tweeting prior to the shooting were a Denver sportswriter who was killed by the gunman.
@JessicaRedfield: "Of course we're seeing Dark Knight."

As my latest addition, I've also converted this pattern to children's sizes. You can use this link to see my FREE children's knitted slippers pattern. Both of these patterns are great to practice if you are a new knitter. Make sure you maintain the correct gauge! The sizing for the slippers is based on it. If you match your gauge to mine then the sizing should work out correctly.
I've also created a video playlist for all the knitting stitches you need to make these slippers. You can view it at my How to Knit Slippers playlist on YouTube. Make sure you allow for pop-ups on your computer! All the links on this page open in a new page so you won't lose this one.
Don't think you can make these yourself? Or maybe you would like some examples. Either way you can either go this this page where I sell my slippers at a discount, or you can check them out in my Etsy shop.
9 stitches stockinette = 2"
Be sure to check your gauge to obtain correct sizing!
Slippers are given for a woman's size 7-8 (9-10, 11-12)
or man's sizes 6-7 (8-9, 10-11). The foot lengths of a man's size 6-7 are about the same as that of a woman's size 7-8 and so on.

An unexpected discovery reveals that Edward lied when he left Bella. Now, Bella is determined to find a way to contact him, and in the process she learns more than she ever knew about Edward Cullen.
An Edward and Bella love story.
Thank you Mothlights for the fantastic banner!!
ooohhh. that was gooood. i've always wished that stephenie had kept the scholarship in new moon, but this was just great. i can absolutely picture edward providing books for bella. sheer genius!
loving your story and pulled a bella looking for it on other sites. no luck. i look forward to your next posting!
Thanks very much. Yeah, the chapters are running parallel on Twilighted and FF. The story is still a work in progress so two chapters is all there is at the moment - I'm working on chapter three now.
great chapter. i loved that edward hadn't bought a ring, that would have been over the top; your idea was perfect. and the ending...i jumped in reaction. i am impressed that you've kept the quality of your writing so high. looking forward to the next chapter.
I agree with you about the ring ... he wouldn't have done that. But I always thought that maybe he had bought her a gift for her birthday, something that showed the depth of his feelings and I thought the locket really fitted. Thanks for your review :)
thank god! next chapter - reunion!
fave line: You're not the only one he hurt, Bella!
so much said with so few words.
I'm glad you liked that. Charlie isn't one for lots of words, but I thought those few summed it up for him.
genius. they don't actually *do* anything, but i was squirming in my seat.
and the plot stuff, that was great as well. (sorry, i was a bit distracted by the non-lemon) loved jasper and bella's moment. felt very right.
loving how you incorporated elements from eclipse and bd, specifically the bed and the hybrids. very often these sort of references pull me right out of the story, but yours were integrated very smoothly and subtly. i'm hoping that you'll consider a sequel, even a short one to incorporate a pregnancy and birth.
i find it hysterical that it was bella's idea to build their home instead, and the *auto pavilion* almost made me spew lemonade all over the monitor. i really could have used edward's help when i was grating the cheese for my chili, no fair!
so many beautiful sentimental lines, and so many hot comments, but my fave has to be:
"It will be like I'm touching your soul," he whispered. "As I give you mine."
i have to thank you for an original take on NM, you really made it your own.
My take on what happened at the Cullen house the day Edward bought a bed. Takes place during ECLIPSE.
poor edward. maybe he needs some tips from Domward?
This one-shot was written for the 2010 Twilight Winter Gift Exchange.
Edward has grown to adulthood as the only child of a farming family. Hoping to earn extra money, he travels to the city each day, ultimately finding more than he bargained for within one of the mansions of affluent Chicago. AU, B&E, explicit lemons.
a sweet story. i'm glad i had something so tender to read today.
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun to write as a Christmas gift...
The NM-AU you've never read before! Edward breaks up with Bella, but he doesn't leave town. Alice has seen that in order for Bella to move on, she must see him move on. Will they ever find their way back together?
i can understand being nervous since you're out of your comfort zone, but i have to say - well done! it never fails to amaze me when authors twist the story just a bit and get such an exciting premise. i recall wondering how alice didn't see what would happen and show edward; you took that to the next level. i look forward to more.
Edward and Bella have a conversation about their daughter's newest development. Assumed B/E. Crack!fic. One-shot.
Unexpectedly thrust into a dangerous situation, will Edward risk his family's secrecy to ensure Bella's safety?
hmm. i'm intrigued. looking forward to your next update.
I'm glad I've captured your interest! The next chapter is awaiting validation, so with luck an update should appear fairly soon. Thanks so much for reviewing!
Ready for some fun? After a confining newborn year, Izzy finds herself in more trouble than she bargained for. Dark days lay ahead as she faces new enemies, old friends, a past that won't stay dead and a future that is alive with more craziness than you can poke a stick at. Sequel to Dirty Dancing with the Devil Herself.
i am impressed by the thought and research you put into this chapter alone. this is just another example of the brilliance i encounter in fan fic.
Bella Swan has spent a lifetime putting everyone else's needs before her own. Could a chance encounter with a mysterious stranger begin to change all of that?
Warning: Some dark scenes and subject matter at times, will try to post warnings on each necessary chapter.
thanks for posting the videos, especially the tango; it helped a lot.
thank you for sharing some of edward's background. i like how you answer some questions but create more.
your depictions of irina and kate were wonderful; true to their characters in a number of ways: irina's coldness, kate's understanding. nice!
Thank you!! I had fun working them in!
well, you may have stayed up all night to finish this chapter, but i might stay up all night thinking about this chapter!
Yay!! I love to make the pervy thoughts linger!
hmm. wow. just...yum.
;-) I like yum.
as much as i love the lemons, i am completely drawn in by edward's relationship to his family, and after this chapter, carlisle in particular.
Thank you for that! There's some Emmett time coming up, too.
i find it intriguing that edward has so many favorite positions, especially the one for intimacy. i wonder abouth who/why/how since it doesn't seem that he had intimacy with tanya.
True, but he felt that the position itself was intimate. Doesn't mean he didn't know that the emotion was lacking the action.
um. wow. thank. you.
poor rosalie. thank god she has emmett. i'm surprised that carlisle wasn't around, but i'm guessing he showed up right after bella left.
does any DISAGREE with emmett? it's nice to see edward actually relating to his family.
Bella Swan is, according to her friend Jasper Hale, "that girl that every guy in high school falls in love with at least twice." Jasper's new foster brother, Edward, is convinced he's kidding. After all, he can see that Bella's acting, that her perfection is the cover for her true self.
But Edward has secrets of his own, and he's sure he'd be better off without them coming to the surface. His past of multiple foster houses and gang violence aren't the worst of his problems.
Their meeting is an accident. Or maybe fate.
(and you see that incredibly amazing banner of incredible amazingness? my beta, Dr_Twilight_PharmD, who constantly goes above and beyond the call of Beta Duty, made that for me)
this chapter started out so sweet and hopeful; it just about killed me to see megan like that. i can understand zach's anger, i'm just concerned about the consequences for all of them.
as a high school teacher i can't thank you enough for your a/n.
And as a high school student, I can't say how much I appreciate how much you and all your colleagues do to help me and all mine. Thanks for reading.
i hesitated to read this story because of the gang aspects, but i am happy that i gave it a try.
i worry for bella's sanity with all those AP courses!
Yeah, that's my junior year schedule. The difference is that I was class vice president instead.
great closing line for rosalie, and i totally agree with edward's fail. i have to say that i can see where he's coming from...

Justin Bieber's Mom Pattie Mallette Holds Twitter Q&A
She's watched her son grow up into arguably the biggest pop star on the planet, and along the way Pattie Mallette has seen some pretty crazy stuff.
The "One Less Lonely Girl" singer's mom treated Beliebers to an impromptu Q&A session last night (December 9) in which she revealed a few tasty tidbits about her boy.
Pattie shared that she'd love for Justin to have kiddos someday- "Ahhh omg could u imagine me a Grandma already!? Hopefully that's a long way in the future!"
As for Bieber's first words, Mallette noted, "Money! Hahahaha! Instead of Mommy he said Money & Daddy!"
Additionally, Pattie had an adorable favorite memory of her son back in the day- "Bedtimes. I would tuck him in, read to him, pray with him & talk & giggle sometimes for an hour or more. *sigh. I miss that!"

What it means to be a pro-life Democrat
Congressman Dan Lipinski of Illinois finds it very challenging to be a pro-life in a party that unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade. He is one of 17 Democrats given 100 percent pro-life rating by the National Right to Life Committee, and we spoke at a Democrats for Life reception earlier this evening.
What obstacles do you face as a pro-life Democrat?
It's always a difficult issue for a pro-life Democrat, because the Democratic Party is not going to have a pro-life platform. It's not going to happen. It's very unfortunate, but I think it's very important for the Democratic Party to have pro-life party. As some of my pro-life Democratic colleagues say, it's no use preaching to the choir. You have to go out and evangelize. We just have to keep working on fellow Democrats. It's a tough position to be in. I think the party from the top and leadership has been much more open to pro-life Democrats. Unfortunately, there are still some groups really trying to get rid of pro-life Democrats. I had a tough primary. I people come up to me and ask me, 'what are you doing in the Democratic Party?' The pro-choice groups gave funding to my opponent.
Why are you a Democrat?
I believe in so much of what the Democrats stand for, basically standing up for middle class families, for working people. I believe the government does have a role in some important areas of our society, helping to protect the environment, helping to protect workers, seniors. I think there are some places where they should be involved and I think it's much better with the Democratic Party than with the Republican Party. But it's not easy being a pro-life Democrat. So t's not easy in the Democratic party. I have a lot of a pro-life constituents, too.
Why are you pro-life?
Because I believe life begins at conceptions. It comes from my faith as a Catholic. I don't think it's the only place that it comes from. Ever individual has to make a decision about when life began. Why draw a line somewhere else? We were all once an embryo. With the proper conditions, the natural conditions, I think an embryo becomes a child. That's where we all started from, and that is where I think the line should be drawn. I think drawing lines in other places leaves room for where do we draw that line? I believe in the sanctity of life and it's something I feel very strongly about.
I truly believe that the Democratic Party, especially now, has a better view of the future and where we should be going, but it's not perfect. I'm willing to, when I think the Democratic Party is wrong, I'm willing to say it. I'm willing to speak up and willing vote for what I think is right.
What about Barack Obama?
I wish Barack Obama were pro-life. He's not. I don't have any expectation that in the future the Democrats are going to have a pro-life presidential candidate. Its disappointing to me, but I am a Democrat and will support the party.
The comments of Rep. Lipinski mirror my own feelings. The Democrats whole philosophy and outlook (in my opinion), with the very large exception of being pro-choice, meshes better with my Christian values than the Republicans. In my view, it is easier to change the Democrats views on abortion than change the Republican's views on sharing and caring about the environment and those less fortunate.
We need to remember the Republicans had several years where they controlled the House, Senate, and Presidency and did nothing about abortion. I think they have just used that one hot button issue to get votes and that needs to end.
From my perspective, it's far easier to be a "pro-life" Democrat than the tone of this interview suggests. For the 35 years that Republicans have been using Roe as a wedge issue, abortion remains the law of the land. So what have evangelicals and pro-life Catholics gotten for their unqualified support of "pro-life" candidates? An increasing disparity between rich and poor, a crisis of uninsured or under-insured Americans, an expansion of capital punishment, a weakening of civil liberties that protect people's right to practice religion, and preemptive warfare, among many other things about which Christians may understandably be concerned.
Instead of simply focusing on the two wedge issues--abortion and gay marriage--I would challenge you to ask Focus on the Family's Tom Minnery what exactly is un-Christian or unbiblical about the vast majority of issues and convictions on which pro-life Democrats agree with their party. It's a relevant question because it seems very likely that abortion will remain legal after four or eight years a McCain presidency. It also seems likely that more states will recognize same-sex marriage or civil unions. Besides, even if Roe is ruled unconstitutional by a Supreme Court filled with conservative justices--the dream of many evangelical Repbublican leaders--all that means is that abortion becomes a state rather than federal issue once again. I suspect that very few states would outlaw abortion.
Inasmuch as some pro-life Christians are questioning their unqualified support of Republicans, maybe it's because the trade-off for politicians saying the "right" words about something that won't change anyway is too great.
I was reading an article in Time Magazine yesterday on Barack Obama. The main feeling I was left with, after reading it, was, "Man, I wish this guy was pro-life!" Other than the abortion issue (which, to me, is THE issue), I think Barack Obama would be a wonderful president and bring about a lot of positive change in America. I can't relate to most of the demonizing of him. If he became pro-life, I'd vote for him over McCain hands down.
It's admirable that Rep. Lipinski is a "pro-life" democrat. I think the democrats definitely need to be evangelized just like the republicans do. However, I don't understand how he can remain pro-life while still "supporting the party" who's candidate voted not to protect children born alive after abortion??? I'm not saying he should switch over and vote for McCain, but Lipinski says he's pro-life AND Catholic. How then can he still support Obama???? Please Rep. Lipinski, put your Catholic principles and your pro-life principles ahead of your democratic principles!!! how can you evangelize the democrats by saying that you're Catholic and pro-life, but your faith and beliefs don't mean anything to you during an election year??
Rep. Lipinski cannot have his cake and eat it. If he votes for Obama he is voting for abortion. So he is not pro life. No Catholic in good conscience can vote for a pro abort. Out with this pro choice nonsense. Lets call abortion what it is. It is the destruction of the unborn child in the womb. It is against the Law of God. It breaks the Fifth Commandment. Voters have a choice between God's Law and Obama's law. Just remember we must all face our God.
"We need to remember the Republicans had several years where they controlled the House, Senate, and Presidency and did nothing about abortion. I think they have just used that one hot button issue to get votes and that needs to end." Have you not heard of Roe V. Wade? This has turned into a court, not a legislative issue. While they have failed miserably on other issues, the one thing they have done is end federal funding of abortion, appointed pro-life judges, and opposed embryonic stem cell research. Is that enough? Perhaps not, but to say they have done nothing ignores historical facts.
I feel like often I hear the accusation that Republicans don't care about the poor or the unfortunate, and that they're too focussed on abortion, and that Democrats care about the poor so Christians should start to migrate to them since "nothing is being done on Roe v. Wade." Of course, we all as Christians have to vote our conscience and we have to figure out what we value the most in our politicians. There is no "Christian" political party.
I take issue with the assumption that Republicans don't care about poverty or the poor. A lot of Republicans think that we need to give people a hand, not just a handout, to help them to be self-sufficient. I hate that I am accused of being heartless because I'm a Republican. Ironically study after study has shown that Republicans tend to be much more generous givers to charity than Democrats.
I am a big supporter of Obama, even though I am very pro-life. This is because the values of the Democratic party--care for the poor, health care for all, etc.--are the things that actually work to reduce abortions.I wish more Democrats would profess a pro-life stance, but I'd rather see action in preserving life (not just in utero, but in terms of war and poverty as well) than lip-service from Republicans who believe in the sanctity of life but focus instead on war and wealthy business owners.
The ignorance of true Republicanism displayed here is astounding. Contrary to Democratic talking points, Republicans are not earth-destroying, war-mongering creeps who only care about the rich and forget about the poor. For example, Democrats preach handouts while Republicans preach handups. Which is better? Redistribution of wealth or teaching someone a skill that will help them achieve prosperity? A thoughtful examination of Republican values, like life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, will reveal to anyone that they are much more in line with Scripture than Democratic values of more taxes, more spending and more government.
To vote for a pro choice candidate simply because you've rationalized that it won't make any difference since nothing has changed in past 8 years with a republican in office doesn't make sense to me. Either you are for abortion or against it. One day you will stand before God and you will be accountable for your vote. As a christian I believe that abortion is wrong in God's eyes. While one president alone probably won't have the power to eliminate abortion we need to continue to elect presidents that have vowed to appoint conservative justices. And yes, then it would be a state issue and each state will have to decide. But lets get there first. If we elect Obama, based on his recent comments "above my paygrade", I don't believe we have the assurance that he will appoint the justices we need to rid this country of abortion.
For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1 Cor 3:11
Obama has pledged to siggn into law the freedo of choice act, making it all but impossible for states to limit abortion. He argued and voted against a live borth abortion ban.
How can anyone justify voting for someone who actively votes to increase abortion. PS. Abortion has declined under Bush and hopefully will continue to decline due to his judicial appointments. Do you actually beleive Obama is going to do the same?
Though I am quite frustrated with Obama's extreme pro-choice position, I do think there is hope for reducing abortions in the Democratic party becoming more open to pro-life members and the Republican party showing more concern for caring for women's needs. These changes would help the two parties collaborate more on the issue rather than dividing them.
Neither party reflects Christian values, but both adhere to different forms of naturalism. Both parties believe in religious indifferentism and freedoms to promote evil as the equal of good. Conservatives are simply liberals that are a step behind.
There is no hope in an Obama or McCain, but only when we repent and use Christ as our model and guide will this country turn around.
Softball interview. How about this: Please tell me how you can support someone whose election will result in more and more aborted babies? How can you support a candidate whose own voting record includes denying care to an unwanted baby already born? Are there any reporters at CT prepared to ask tough questions?
I am a pro-life independent who will be voting for Barack Obama on November 4th. I've voted Republican in the past because of their pro-life stance. In the first 6 years of Bush's Presidency, the Republicans did nothing to stop or curtail abortion. Why would I vote based on a canidates pro-life position again? I don't see any incentive for the Republican party to advance the pro-life agenda. They would put their voting base in grave jeopardy. People would have to look at other issues like, the economy, foreign policy, etc. I don't think the Republicans would be quite so appealing if that were the case.
"How about this: Please tell me how you can support someone whose election will result in more and more aborted babies? How can you support a candidate whose own voting record includes denying care to an unwanted baby already born? Are there any reporters at CT prepared to ask tough questions?"
I can answer that. I am pro-life Christian and a Democrat. I cannot vote Republican because:
1. I am pro-life, but not only for the unborn. George Bush's wars have killed hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in Iraq, Afghanistan and now Pakistan. I do not believe any life is lessor than another. 80,000 civilians (women and children) in Iraq alone -- for a war of choice that has served the world nothing but harm. They call it "collateral damage". I believe that Republicans (incl John McCain) will continue to resort to wars of choice too swiftly and with no remorse -- Democrats will not (I hope).
2. Roe v Wade is law. The President cannot change it. Whether McCain or Obama is president will not lesson the number of abortions in this country. Unfortunate, but fact.
3. Climate change will kill millions in developing countries. Republican's do not believe in climate change. Democrats do.
4. The number one killer of God's children in the US is firearms. As heinous as abortion is, I cannot understand why Republicans fight for unfettered access to guns of any kind for everyone. Democrats are for gun control, and as a Christan so am I.
4. Many Republicans view on abortion is more bent on imposing their conservative religious dogma on society instead of just stopping abortion. I want to stop all abortions, but I don't want my children being taught religion in school. (Our children are taught religious values at home and at our church home, and I am vehemently against letting any public employee have any right to impart their religious views on my kids at public school on tax payers expense or any other expense -- whether such views coincide with mine or not.)
5. Republican's nominate judicial activists just as often or even more so than Democrats. Republican judges legislate from the bench against regulating Wall Street, against climate control, in favor of government intrusion in our privacy, for gun rights, etc.
I agree with Democratic Party values -- including freedom of religion and life & death issues -- on just about every topic but abortion. Yes it's a big disagreement and I wrestle with it often. But I strongly disagree with Republican life and death values (because they are non-Christian in my view) on just about every topic but one -- abortion. I believe I can better move politics toward righteousness by working to change my party's platform on abortion than by having to change the Republican's platform on pretty much everything else.
Absolute nonsense!
Obama is the most ANTI-LIFE candidate in history, except perhaps Sanger herself! He voted AGAINST the BAIPA 4 TIMES! How can anyone POSSIBLY say they are pro-life and support him? You are a hypocrite and a disgrace to call yourself pro-life and support him. And for all the 'pro-choice' Catholics - oxymoron - even the POPE HIMSELF calls the Democratic Party the Death Party! They care more about protecting the End of Life for a Criminal (Death Penalty opposition), than the Beginning of Life (in love with abortion) for an innocent baby! It's so twisted as not to be believable.
As a pro-life Democrat, I vote Democrat on the local level whenever a qualified pro-life Democrat is running for office, but unfortunately I have never been able to vote for my party for the office of U.S. president.
I see allot of good things in the democratic party. Unfortunately, as a christian I see some not so good things. And there is more things in the democratic party then just abortion that go against Christianity. Abortion is the big one though.
We can't forget that the democrats are against things that christianity and the Bible stands for like: against the ten commandments in public, against prayer in school, for gay marriage, for gay rights, and against the death penalty and a few other things.
When you add it all up folks, the republican party is the closest you are going to get to christian morals. Even the first republican president was against slavery. Today it's no longer slavery but abortin and all the things I mentioned above. Untill all of that changes, vote republican.
Please stop the "You have to vote for staunchly pro-life candidates if you're pro-life" retoric republicans. People have been doing that, yet abortions have gone up under Bush. Fancy that? You want to protect life with laws, yet oppose common sense measures to reduce abortions like contraception and sex education.
And please, there is no "christian party". Stop with that garbage.
You can not be pro life and vote for those who support abortion. Its impossible and you are fooling yourself and others into believing that you are.
If you were really pro life then you would stand firm against it and not waiver in that support.
Democrats who say they are pro life and vote their party are weak and simple minded with no real commitment to the life issue. How many babies lives will it take before you decide to really be pro life. You can't fool me.
When will people start realizing that you do not vote for one issue? You vote for the PERSON and you also vote placing your trust in them that they will carry out what they said they were going to do!
I believe you can be pro-life and Democrat. Just like you can be atheist, Republican, and pro-choice (I've met quite a few of people who identify themselves as such). I am not a party vote personally. I vote for the person. I wish my state would have more pro-life Democrats because I would probably vote for them.
Did it ever occur to anyone that the Democratic party's original platform on abortion was pro-life? It wasn't until extreme leftists throughout the 60's and 70's began a takeover and turned the party into what it is now.
Then there is the whole rhetoric about what is pro-life and what isn't. According to a Gallup poll, the majority of Americans would rather see abortion restricted but kept legal. Many people are willing to allow abortion to be legal for cases of rape and threat to the mother's life but if you play the game you need to be ready for the consequences of consensual sex. In reality, very few people are wholly pro-life (wanting to outright ban abortion and not allow for special circumstances) but I would say that many pro-life Democrats would rather see people taking more responsibility for their actions and allow abortion to remain legal under certain situations.

I purchased this to use with my husband.
We enjoy playing about with oils so thought it would be fun to have something to slide around together on, and we were not wrong!
We use this on the floor as once you have gotten it oily you do tend to slide about rather a lot. We both love the feel of the PVC on our skin. I have found this is great for bringing us closer during sex as you need to hang on to one another!
It is great especially for me as I love PVC! I love the feel of this on my skin, it's such a turn-on. When it's not oiled I love being stuck to it at the mercy of my man!

Careful on the lube, do NOT chuck it all over the bed then jump on. You go flying and we nearly shot off the other side of the bed. Also makes sex interesting as you can't grip properly and end up in a giggling heap in the middle of the bed.
Not sure about King Size, unless you use it as a bog-standard sheet rather than tucking it in. It only just goes around our double.
One note though, make sure the room is warm or you're moving CONSTANTLY, they chill quickly. I get cold easily and chattering teeth aren't attractive, even if sticky-up nipples are!
Overall great fun.
- Pros
- The endless possibilities.
- Cons
- The sheets cool quickly unless you're moving a lot.
- Bottom line
- Great sexy fun!

Slippery fun, without the mess
Reviewed: 14 March 2010 by Corrupted, a Straight Engaged Male
The sheet is quite thick, so shouldn't tear. The sizing however is a complete mystery to me! I have tried this sheet on a standard British double bed (not a king-size bed, which I presume it is supposed to fit) and while it reaches round the sides of the bed (just) it doesn't do a very good job at the top and bottom, so if you slide around too much you can still make a mess on your sheets.
My girlfriend and I tried this with a bottle of baby oil, which we rubbed thoroughly all over each other until we were incredibly shiny and slippery, and we had a fun time sliding up and down over each other with almost no friction to talk of, and it was a great feeling being able to slide my cock inside her so easily and freely. (Note: Condoms do not mix with oil; use a non-latex-based contraceptive or a water- or silicone-based lube). This also made for some imaginative sex as positions like doggy-style are almost impossible when you're that slippery!
Some bits of advice. Make sure your bed isn't too near the wall, or be careful, because we left a couple of oily footprints. If you're living in a shared house, work out how you're getting to the bathroom to clean up before you start! Whoops!
- Pros
- Allows you to make a mess without making a mess.
- Cons
- The size is kind of dodgy.
- Bottom line
- Great fun. I love playing with this.

Georgian Journalists Send Word of Their Fate
'The situation is insane.… My friends—both journalists—were killed in Ossetia. Just confirmed that..am devastated..'
By Karl Idsvoog
Since 2001, Karl Idsvoog, a 1983 Nieman Fellow and professor of journalism at Kent State, has trained student and professional journalists in the Republic of Georgia. He developed the broadcast portion of the masters program at the Caucasus School of Journalism and Media Management and returns there often to teach.

The free press has been taking a real beating in the Republic of Georgia. Last November, amidst political protests, Georgian special forces stormed Imedi Television. One of my former students working there as a videographer came down to greet them with a video camera and quickly found his camera confiscated, and he was ordered at gunpoint to stay on the floor and not move. Television station Rustavi 2 used to be the hard-hitting investigative station. Since the Rose Revolution, it's become the voice of the government; more than one of my students who works or has worked there tells me that stories critical of the government, quite simply, have been off limits.
Bad things happen when journalism fails. In the United States, we saw the high price paid when journalists failed to aggressively question the administration as it marched to war. In Georgia, a high price is being paid for the government taking steps to all but eliminate the ability of an independent press to function in what was claimed by its leaders to be a democracy. How different might the situation be today if Georgian journalists had been able to do a better job of questioning the Saakashvili government? Government leaders may wage war, but it's the people of the country who must live with its consequences. —Karl Idsvoog
What follows is e-mail correspondence that Idsvoog has received from former students and friends in Georgia who are journalists as they have covered and observed what has happened to their country, its people, and their own ability to report on these events during this war with Russia. Punctuation and grammar have been left in their original form.

Thank you Karl. I am OK. Who knows what will be? I could never imagine I would hear bombing in Tbilisi. And why? Who cares this South Ossetia if everyone would die? We have info. that very many, about 2-3 thousand Georgians are dead. And the hospitals are filled. And the government today announces that there are 92 dead! Everyone is laughing at our people, not only Russia. And here also everyone is disappointed in the only formal dislikes of the international community about Russia's steps. We are alone here and our friends, boys, journalists are dead. As we know Russians are already at Gori, Tskhinvali is lost. It is not the official info., but our boys, relations, who were in Gori say that. As you would know, Russia is also bombing the peaceful towns all over Georgia. I have an impression that US and Europe and people in the world do not have the right information, what's happening here.

Hello Karl!
Can u see what is happening? The war is raging in Georgia, Tbilisi also has been bombed last night. Two bombes struck near my residence, the sound of explosion was so great that windows were rattling at my home. People are in panic, refugees from various cities, and especially from Gori and Tskhinvali, are coming every day and every hour. But you know what is the most horrible, that we're in an information vacuum. Our government until the very nick of time was saying that Georgian troops controlled the territory of Tskhinvali. But it turned out that we lost this region. Gori and Tskhinvali are loaded with corpses of Georgian soldiers. But our media sources are reporting that death toll comprises just up to 100 people. European media sources are reporting about 2000. It's deceit! People are flocking to hospitals and searching for their lost relatives, friends, some of them just disappeared, some of them are dead, and most are seriously injured.
By the way, according to Georgian TV channels foreign journalists and one Georgian journalist are dead. And what is the most concerning, how reacts international community, the U.S., all the time Bush is calling for ceasefire, but there is no end to hostilities.

We couldn't enter Gori yesterday. 5 minutes earlier Georgian TV channel Imedi and Canadian journalists were robbed of their cars and equipment. It is very hazardous for women to go there. One woman was crying about her daughter who was raped in front of her by Ossetian and Kazak rebels. Policemen warned me not to go there because of high risk. I was with Danish journalists, helping them with translation.
So it's really difficult for journalists to penetrate across the border. Rebels are looting those people who stay in Gori and spend nights in basements.
I hope when Georgian policemen take control in Gori we will be able to cover the situation there, otherwise it's very dangerous.

I'm back from Poti. It's truth that our coastguard boats were blown up. I was covering conflict from the very beginning. I filmed how the Russian troops went to Senaki, to Poti.
We were the only TV company covering Russian troops in western Georgia. Others run away. I filmed what was left after bombing in Senaki. We saw hands, ears and other parts of people after bombing. I saw dead soldiers—that was horrible. But I kept going without panic.
Yesterday our journalist was injured, while she had a liveshot.

Dear Karl,
Thank you, I and my family are safe.
Situation is horrible. It is still tense, but I hope very much for better resolution. I hope for peace.
Right now our forests are on fire and Russians don't allow Georgian and Turkish firefighters to bring a fire under control. You can judge about the rest yourself.

Dear Karl,
Good to hear from you!
Me and my family are safe and sound. We came back to Tbilisi 2 days ago. There is so much going on that I am having a hard time finding words for what we are going through.
I am hoping this nightmare ends soon, this occupation ends soon, and this crisis does not escalate further, involving american or european military activities here in Georgia. I don't even want to think of what will happen if Georgia becomes the battleground for any kind of international confrontation. This is probably less likely, but it's a consideration.
I do not feel very hopeful, though. I expect that Russia will stay here for a long time to come. They have a lot to gain by their presence here and not much to lose—in spite of the european dependency on Russian energy and despite the international pressure on Russia. They are completely paralyzing the country and the time is on their side.
On the other hand, I cannot imagine my life here in the presence of the Russian occupation and dominance. If the international community falls short of stopping Russia and forcing them to withdraw their forces, and we don't behave like Chechens, fighting until all our men are dead, then Russians will stay here for good, in which case I, and many other people, don't see our future here.
I wish Russia had shed its imperialistic complexes and grown out of the Cold War era paradigms, and was thinking and acting adequately to the times, or to the goals of any modern nation. I wish we as Georgians had means to stop this war and invasion from happening.
We are also having a hard time maintaining our sanity and figuring out what we can be doing, or should be doing. Functioning on a daily basis is an effort when the country is fully paralyzed, despite our President's hypnotizing and reassuring speeches. Though I realize this is no time to "prosecute" our government—now we just have to help them stop this conflict.
Before this war, we were planning to start a weekly political magazine, with an internet portal. I was in the middle of starting fundraising for it. If this country is to continue its existence, it desperately needs a news source, not propaganda machines in the form of televisions or incompetent daily newspapers with very little influence on the public discourse.
There has been a total information blackout. We receive our information mostly through international media. What we require is the local strong, independent media outlet, a watchdog, which grounds and analyzes news in a nonpartisan way and puts it in a wider prospective, so that we, as a nation, can start thinking critically again, come back to life again, act again, and find our voice again beyond what our government has to say in a constant monologue.
Any ideas on where to look for funding? In case of peace, this will be our N1 priority.
Thank you for your concern, Karl.

Age is just a state of mind
Katie Paysinger
I turned 20 Wednesday. Yes, I forgive all of you who didn't wish me a happy birthday (which wasn't very many—thank you, Facebook).
I can definitely say that I didn't think this is what being 20 would be like. Granted, I have only been this marvelous age for a bit less than a day as of this writing; I have adapted well.
I remember when I was young and it was still OK to wear Velcro shoes and thinking when I was 20 everything would be magical. I thought I would be a grown-up college student, well on my way to having my dream job.
Sure, I am a college student and expecting a successful career. However, I don't think I really want that as much anymore. What is the matter with just being 20 right this very second? Do I really need to be anxious and worry about where I will be in 10 years? Five years? One year? Tomorrow? No. No, I do not.
I think there is substantial pressure applied on the youth of today that we have to have our lives sorted out by the time we declare a major. Not only that, you must apply to graduate school. Graduate school! Who wants to go to graduate school? Nobody, that's who.
Now that I am 20 and wise in all the ways that wisdom works, I am telling all you out there who read this wonderful paper that I like to call the Review that you don't need to know what you're going to do. And you should tell your younger siblings. And your little cousins. And the newborn that just moved in next door to your grandparent's house.
It is just a suggestion, so we'll see how it goes, but maybe if everyone accepted that our jobs don't have to consume our lives, the world will be a happier place.
I want to see the world. I want to meet the people that inhabit it. I know this about myself and I know if I don't do this, I will never be content to work in a box all day. That's not saying that after I do I will be content to work in a box all day, but by then I will have met someone who will give me a rad job for the Travel Channel, so I don't really need to worry about it.
Put down this newspaper (after you've read every last article) and go about your day. But do it with an understanding that you only have today, and if you continually worry about tomorrow, you're not really living right now—you're passing it by. And that is no fun. What is fun, however, is sending me a belated birthday card (unit 3251).

You want to talk a walk around the lake so you put the mutt on a leash and start walking. Big step since you've been putting it off a whole year. Of course, since you were so afraid you would back out you didn't dress appropriately and froze your butt off, but that's ok. At least you made it, right? You got to the trail and you started walking down it. But then you let your mind wander. Between watching the ducks and listening to the ice slush in the currents you let the fear and paranoia get to you. You started thinking about the odds that a man would jump out of the woods to hurt you. So you started looking over your shoulder. When the man passed on the bike you said hi, hoping that it would deter him. He didn't want to hurt you. Even if he did you could have taken him. Why else did you study Ju Jitsu? You are trained to defend yourself and yet you let the fear get to you. You got a mile out through sheer determination before you started thinking again. "What if he goes to get his friends, what if they meet me from the other side, what if I can't fight them all off. What if they can't identify my body later. What if, what if, what if." So you cut it short and went back in the same direction hoping they wouldn't be between you and the car waiting for you.
Nice try. Better luck next time you paranoid freak!

LAS VEGAS -- Nevada posted the nation's highest percentage increase in non-foreclosure residential short sales in 2012 compared to the prior year, RealtyTrac.com reported Wednesday night.
Because of the 86 percent increase, one-third of Nevada's residential sales in 2012 were short sales, according to the real estate analytics company from Irvine, Calif. Alabama, Florida and Michigan were the only other states where short sales made up at least one-third of their residential purchases.
Short sales made up 22 percent of all residential sales nationally last year.
The average short sale in Nevada last year was $121,977 short of the loan amount owed on the property. The U.S. average was $81,621 short of the loan amount owed.
RealtyTrac also reported that foreclosure-related sales made up 37.78 percent of all residential sales in Nevada in 2012, third highest in the nation behind California (38.05 percent) and Georgia (37.83 percent). Still, that was a big drop for Nevada, where foreclosure-related sales made up 55 percent of all residential sales in 2011 and 60 percent in 2010.
Nevada's average foreclosure sales price, $126,521, was nearly 5.8 percent higher than in 2011. Overall, though, the 34,891 foreclosure sales in Nevada in 2012 represented a 36.3 percent drop from 2011.
"Although foreclosure-related sales represent a shrinking share of total sales, primarily because of fewer bank-owned purchases, distressed sales are still a disproportionately high portion of the overall housing market," RealtyTrac vice president Daren Blomquist said. "And while distressed properties — whether bank-owned, pre-foreclosure or short sales not in foreclosure — are still selling at a significant discount compared to non-distressed properties, average distressed property prices are increasing in many markets thanks to strong demand and limited inventory."
