Ken Berger of CBS Sports tweets that, after a long and drawn out process, the Cleveland Cavaliers have offically announced Byron Scott as their next head coach.
#Cavs have finally announced Byron Scott hiring. Excellent hire. Can't hurt. #NBAless than a minute ago via twidroidKen Berger
Ancient Mariner of Fear The Sword agrees with Berger, calling it "a great hire for the Cavs."
To continue the Cavs talk, head over to SB Nation's Fear The Sword.
Byron Scott has agreed to a four-year deal with the Cavs, which means he's here with or without LeBron James.
This is great news.
The deal is done, except for a few minor details. That according to Cavaliers blog Fear The Sword -
Scott's agent Brian McInerney said in an e-mail that the sides are working through some final details, but that Scott has agreed to become Cleveland's next coach — with or without free agent LeBron James.
The team is expected to announce Scott's hiring later on Thursday.
With a coach in place, the Cavaliers can now focus on retaining James and building a Championship team.
Sam Amick of Fanhouse.com tweets that Byron Scott and the Cleveland Cavaliers have "agreed to essential terms" on a deal that will make Scott the team's next head coach.

Ken Berger of CBS Sports.com writes that Byron Scott and the Cleveland Cavaliers aren't just talking, they're in "deep discussions."
The Cavaliers are in deep discussions with Byron Scott to be their next head coach, two people familiar with the matter confirmed to CBSSports.com. Barring any unexpected hitches in negotiation, the two-time Finals coach will take over for Mike Brown, who was fired after the Cavs' premature playoff exit.
Scott, the former coach of the Nets and Hornets, and Lakers assistant Brian Shaw went down to the wire as the two finalists to replace Brown. Shaw was "extremely impressive" in his interview, a person involved in the process said, but Scott's experience, defensive system and track record of coaching in two Finals were the deciding factors for the Cavs.
Cavs GM Chris Grant, owner Dan Gilbert and the basketball staff met late into Tuesday night after completing Shaw's interview and decided t to move forward with Scott -- no knock on Shaw, but rather a nod to the fact that Scott's resume had all the boxes checked that Cleveland was looking for, according to a person familiar with the decision.
Chris Broussard also tweets that the talks have moved to the "deep" stage and that an agreement could be forthcoming shortly.

Sam Amick of NBA Fanhouse tweets that reports that Byron Scott was in negotiations to be the next head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers appear to be a little bit early.

Last night, it looked like Brian Shaw was the "front-runner" to be the next head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. My, how quickly and dramatically things can change. Tonight, multiple reports state that former New Jersey Nets and New Orleans Hornets coach Byron Scott is now on track to be the team's next head coach.
Chris Broussard of ESPN.com tweeted it first Wednesday evening.

Sam Amick of Fanhouse.com tweeted similar information soon after.

Brian Windhorst of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer tweeted a similar report just minutes later.
After a series of meetings today the #Cavs have started contract talks with Byron Scott. No deal is done yet but sides moving that way.less than a minute ago via webBrian Windhorst
Head over to SB Nation's Fear The Sword for all the latest Cavs talk.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have made not indication that Brian Shaw is officially their next head coach, but Brian Windhorst of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that Shaw is currently contacting possible assistant coaches.
Brian Shaw contacting potential assistants, looking for experience with triangle offense. Looks like he'll bring to #Cavs if deal finalized.
With reports indicating that LeBron James would like a former NBA player as head coach and that he's interested in running the famed triangle offense that's worked well for Michael Jordan in Chicago and Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles, this could indicate that James is more likely to stay in Cleveland.
In an up and down day that saw a report that Brian Shaw was close to becoming the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers and another report that had fellow candidate Byron Scott upset at not being offered the job, ESPN is now reporting that Shaw "appears to be their target" and calls him "the new front-runner."
A source close to the situation told ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher that the Cavs will decide between Shaw and former Hornets coach Byron Scott and that Cleveland will decide between the two by the end of this week.
Shaw is the new front-runner. He returned to Los Angeles without a contract offer, but that doesn't mean he won't be coming back to Cleveland.
It's possible the Cavs have worked on the parameters of a contract with Shaw, but aren't quite ready to make it official.
The Cleveland Cavaliers denied rumors Tuesday that they've made the decision to make Los Angeles Lakers' assistant Brian Shaw their next head coach.
The other leading candidate, Byron Scott (and agent Brian McInerney), seems to believe that Shaw is the choice, however, according to a report from AOL Fanhouse's Sam Amick.
In an e-mail to Fanhouse, McInerney had harsh words about the Cavs' coaching search.
"We assumed that due [to] a week of miscommunications with the organization, which continually required on the record correcting, (Cavaliers general manager) Chris Grant was aware of our disappointment in media driven coaching search. As a week of 'corrected' media reports from 'our camp' indicated, we did not appreciate Cavalier executives going 'off the record' and creating incorrect news with writers, or at least as was repeatedly told to us by those journalists," McInerney, wrote FanHouse.
"There was no offer or contract to withdraw, so issuing a statement that one was being withdrawn only gave credence to a fictional story. There was no reason to speak to LeBron James since there was nothing to discuss."
McInerney also issued the following statement on behalf of his client, leaving no mystery as to who Scott's camp think is the next head coach of the Cavaliers:
"Coach Scott welcomes Coach Shaw into the ranks of head coaching, and as a Laker family brother, wishes him the best, until the final two minutes of any game where they are competing against each other."
After Brian Shaw's agent told the L.A. Times earlier today that Shaw was close to accepting a deal, Brian Windhorst posted this to his Twitter account:
Sources: the #Cavs will not name a coach today, are not in contract talks with a coach and have not officially offered job to anyone as yet.
So, is Shaw close to accepting a gig that he wasn't he offered yet? Nonetheless, with the Cavs having brought Shaw in for a meeting, it still seems likely that he's the leading candidate to be the team's next head coach.
Brian Windhorst just posted this message to his Twitter account:
Brian Shaw still is not officially #Cavs coach, sources say, but becoming pretty obvious he's the guy once contract is worked out.
In addition, Shaw's agent told the L.A. Times via text message that Shaw is "close to accepting deal."
It's only a matter of time before Shaw is the next coach of the Cavaliers.
Sam Amick of FanHouse.com has reported via Twitter that the Cavaliers are close to naming current Los Angeles Lakers assistant Brian Shaw their next Head Coach.
More information to come…
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been looking for a coach since May 25 when they fired former Coach of the Year Mike Brown.
It appears, now, that they will have his replacement before the NBA's free agency season begins on July 1.
Brian Shaw is scheduled to interview with the Cavs this afternoon as well as Tuesday morning before Cleveland decides between him and fellow candidate Byron Scott according to AOL Fanhouse's Sam Amick.
Of course, as with everything this offseason, Amick reports that a LeBron James angle is present with both candidates.
The question of which coach could have more sway in convincing James to return to Cleveland is unknown, as both fit the coaching qualification of a former player that sources say James prefers. James inquired about Scott with close friend Chris Paul weeks ago, asking the New Orleans point guard about his time spent with Scott. Considering Paul has referred to Scott as a father figure, it's a safe assumption it was a positive conversation.
Sources say Shaw, represented by his long-time agent Jerome Stanley, might have the subtle backing of William Wesley, the James associate who knows Shaw well from time spent around the Shaquille O'Neal-led Orlando Magic teams of the mid-1990s.
It's unclear where the Cleveland Cavaliers are in their ongoing talks with Byron Scott, but Associated Press writer Tom Withers reports that the Cavs have been granted permission to talk to Los Angeles Lakers assistant Brian Shaw.
Lakers spokesman said Cavs were granted permission to speak with Shaw "a couple days ago."
Shaw won 3 titles as player with Lakers, 2 as coach. He's expected to be candidate to replace Phil Jackson if Zen Master retires.
If Shaw was to leave Los Angeles for Cleveland, it'd seem that also means that Phil Jackson will be coaching another season for the Lakers.
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports that the Cavaliers are seeking more information about Byron Scott, the Cavaliers' current heading coaching target, from two fellow NBA All Stars.
As Byron Scott establishes himself as the clear frontrunner for the Cleveland Cavaliers' coaching vacancy, team executives have reached out to two of LeBron James' friends – Chris Paul and Jason Kidd – to discuss their former coach.
Cavaliers general manager Chris Grant and assistant GM Lance Blanks made an initial round of calls to New Jersey Nets and New Orleans Hornets officials to research Scott shortly after the firing of Mike Brown, but are now digging deeper as they inch closer to making him a formal offer.
Byron Scott was on ESPN to talk about tonight's Game 7 between the Lakers and Celtics when he was asked about the Cavaliers head coaching position and his apparent candidacy. While Scott didn't divulge much information, he did say that there was mutual interest.
"We've had some informal conversations obviously and we're looking to take it a little bit further"
Sounds mysterious!
After tweeting the news earlier, Brian Windhorst provides a few more details regarding the Cavaliers plan to interview coaching candidate Byron Scott for the second time. He writes that Scott has interest in both the job and coaching LeBron James and that the interview will take place after the NBA finals.
Importantly, Windhorst notes, Scott isn't the only coach under consideration.
The Cavs are expected to have several interviews over the next week with candidates before offering the position, league sources indicated.

This is good news..I like Scott.
The Michigan State Spartans have sent out a press release announcing Tom Izzo's decision to forego the Cleveland Cavaliers offer to become their next head coach and instead will remain in Lansing.
Izzo's comments in the release make it seem like his decision truly wasn't an easy process.
"It's been an agonizing week as I tried to make a decision about a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I apologize for the time the process has taken, but sometimes there are opportunities that come about that must be thoroughly examined. I'm no different than any other successful coach in that I've had multiple inquiries before, but this one was uniquely intriguing. There was a lot of information to gather and consider and some of it wasn't easily obtainable. But when making a life decision, I owed it to myself and my family to do my due diligence. From that I never wavered. And I'm pleased to say I am here for life at Michigan State.
"Throughout the entire process, Dan Gilbert and the entire Cleveland organization has been nothing but class. His professionalism and caring nature for me, my family and Michigan State have been impressive. I wish him nothing but the best in his quest to win a world championship. Just as I decided to stay home, I hope a 6-8, 270-pound forward in Cleveland decides to stay home.
Regarding that last sentence, it seems Mr. LeBron James didn't give him any sort of clear indication that he'll be staying in Cleveland.
This coincides with various internet reports, specifically the Plain-Dealer's Brian Windhorst.
It is official, Izzo to stay at MSU. Makes perfect sense w/o LeBron commitment. Moral: Hard to leave home, even if it means doubling salary.
When #Cavs fired Mike Brown they knew they were behind 8 ball b/c of LeBron uncertainty. Gilbert tried to swing for fence w/ $. Didn't work.
As reported SB Nation Detroit:
Both WDIV and WXYZ in Detroit are reporting that Tom Izzo has decided to stay at Michigan State as head coach of the Spartans. There reportedly will be a press conference at 7 p.m. tonight to officially announce the decision, although the Detroit News' Eric Lacy reports that no presser has been at MSU yet.
Izzo had been debating whether or not to take the Cleveland Cavaliers job for the last week, so finally this saga has come to an end. Although it included many interesting twists and indicated that this was the closest Izzo ever came to leaving for a job in the NBA, it's really not too surprising he decided to stay at MSU. From the very beginning I had my doubts that he would actually leave, mainly because the timing of everything just didn't work out, both with the whole LeBron James thing and the fact that the team he has coming back to MSU next year will be a contender for a national title.
Is Byron Scott now the favorite?
More information on the wild and wonderful soap opera starring Tom Izzo and the Cleveland Cavaliers, with a guest appearance from LeBron James, has surfaced. Brian Windhorst reported last night that James would "100 percent" support hiring Izzo, but his latest update suggests that not even James' full support includes any sort of meeting or consultation with Izzo to discuss the Cavaliers' coaching vacancy.
All along, James has not planned to speak to coaching candidates or lobby for certain coaches to replace Mike Brown. James, according to a source, has not spoken with Izzo about the job or his future and currently has no plans to do so.
He intends to become a free agent on July 1 and does not plan on committing to anything until after he explores his free agent options.
LeBron James doesn't want to be involved and the Cavaliers aren't asking his opinion, allegedly, but that hasn't stopped word from leaking that James would '100% Endorse' Tom Izzo as Cavaliers Head Coach -
According to a high-level source, James would endorse the Cavs' hiring Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo.
Cavs owner Dan Gilbert said last week that James is not involved in the search for a replacement for Mike Brown, but sources have indicated James approves of the highly-respected Izzo. James also said in an interview with Larry King that he doesn't want to be heavily involved with selecting his next coach.
But James "100 percent" would endorse Izzo's hiring, the source said.
As Cavaliers blog Fear The Sword points out, this all might be LeBron's way to let Izzo know it would be ok – perhaps even a good idea – to take the Cavaliers job.,
Tom Izzo has told his players that he will announce his decision on whether or not to accept the Cavaliers' head coaching position on Saturday. Although he has not told the Spartans' players what that decision will be, several came away from a team meeting with the impression that Izzo will, in fact, leave East Lansing and coach in Cleveland.
So look for breaking news tomorrow, one way or another.
Tom Izzo returned home late Thursday night after meeting with Cleveland Cavalier executives and touring the teams facilities. He landed in Lansing, Michigan around 11 PM EST.
Students of Michigan State had put together a Facebook rally page to keep Tom Izzo at MSU.
While Izzo did not say much as he was leaving the airport, he did have one quote. When asked for a time table on his decision, he replied:
It won't go on forever, I can tell you that.
Seems a tad open ended to me.
While waiting for Tom Izzo to make a decision, the Cleveland Cavaliers interviewed former NBA player and coach Byron Scott.
His agent, Brian McInerney, talked to Fanhouse's Sam Amick this afternoon.
"They asked him what his view was on championships, talked about his mentality that you either win or you come home on your shield trying," McInerney said. "That being said, everything (information-wise) should go through the team."
Scott, who has long been rumored to want to take over for the Los Angeles Lakers' Phil Jackson when he retires, could be a favorite of LeBron James.
FanHouse learned that the Cavs star and free-agent-to-be inquired about Scott to Paul weeks ago, a possible indication that James has interest in Scott as his coach either for the Cavs or elsewhere. James is believed to prefer to play under a coach who has played in the league.
The question of whether Scott would take the job without James on the roster remains without an answer as well. The Inglewood native has been known to have a strong preference to stay on the West Coast, having lost touch with so many family and friends through the years coaching in New Jersey and Louisiana.
No decision is expected to be made until Izzo makes his decision.
ESPN is reporting that Tom Izzo is leaning towards accepting the Cavaliers head coaching job, if it is offered. There seems to be some confusion on whether or not Izzo has officially been offered the job.
While talk of a 5-year/$30 million offer have been widespread, it seems that former Nets and Hornets coach Byron Scott is still very much involved in the search.
The Cavaliers seem intent on making Tom Izzo their next Head Coach. If they fail to persuade him to leave Michigan State, however, it appears Byron Scott could be next on the list.
According to ESPN.com, Scott is actually on equal footing with Izzo in the eyes of the Cavaliers.
Scott, who has coached the New Jersey Nets and the New Orleans Hornets, has spoken with members of the Cavaliers' front office for the past few days and late Wednesday night, the talks took on a more serious nature. Scott is expected to have a formal interview with the team before the end of this weekend.
It could be the Cavaliers are making sure they have an insurance policy in case Izzo's flirtations end they way they always have, with him staying at MSU.
Will he or won't he? That is the big question now being asked of Tom Izzo. The coach of the Michigan State Spartans, for now at least, will head to Cleveland today to find out exactly what his future office looks like. He'll also find out just what the Cavs plan to do should LeBron James be in another uniform next season.
Depending on who you believe, that is the major selling job the Cavaliers have on their plates. The money - reportedly $30 million worth over 6 years - is not a factor. Izzo seems ready to make the jump from the cozy-confines of college to the NBA. He'd probably be the coach right now if he knew LeBron was coming back. It all seems to hinge on the Cavaliers' ability to sell Izzo on what the rebuilding plan would be if LeBron doesn't come back.
According to a Michigan State source, Izzo has scheduled a trip to Cleveland on Thursday to meet with team officials and possibly tour the Cavs' facilities. Whether or not Izzo will go through with the trip is unknown.
Izzo has been down this road before - though not nearly as close to the edge as he appears now. Izzo met with his team on Tuesday to talk about the Cavaliers interest. Players reportedly left that meeting with the feeling he would take the job.
We have seen this before. Florida's Billy Donovan went so far as to have a press conference naming him Head Coach of the Orlando Magic only to change his mind 3 days later. Izzo will likely get the grand tour today. What that means tomorrow is anyone's guess.

The League of Conservation Voters on Thursday endorsed U.S. Rep. Mazie Hirono for U.S. Senate.
Hirono is running against former congressman Ed Case in the Democratic primary to replace U.S. Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii, who is retiring. Former Gov. Linda Lingle is the leading Republican.
"The League of Conservation Voters is proud to endorse Mazie Hirono for U.S. Senate because she has fought to protect the rich natural beauty of Hawaii and build a vibrant clean energy economy," Gene Karpinski, the president of the League of Conservation Voters, said in a statement. "Representative Hirono understands that investments in a clean energy future are investments in well-paying, stable jobs for Hawaiians for generations to come."
The national environmental group also released the results of a poll it sponsored showing Hirono up over Lingle 50 percent to 41 percent in a hypothetical general election match-up. Nine percent were undecided.
The automated telephone survey was conducted by Public Policy Polling, a North Carolina firm, among 600 voters on May 16 and May 17.

Lupe Fiasco covers the May issue of XXL Magazine
Lupe will be on the cover of next month's XXL Magazine! Go Lupe! That reminds me to throw my Lasers CD (metaphorically) into my car so I can listen to it more often…
Via XXL, he will be talking about the compromises he had to make for Lasers in addition to his battles with Atlantic…all of which we've heard before. But, hopefully his interview includes some new material and I don't regret spending over $5 on this issue.

I listened to both sides of this on tv last night. Soooo will someone tell us what is the right thing to do?? No way I am going the stocks road so I guess I answered my own question. The way our country is going with our "do nothing" politicians in Washington, no one really knows what to do.

Yunho normally goes drinking around once a month, but during those days, not only did he go for soju 6 times a month, he was also suffering from depression. It was truly unbelievable.'
He said 'I'm glad to see that he has picked himself up and regained his strength.' With regard to the TVXQ duo's new song, he remarked 'Now I finally understand why they're TVXQ'.

Nurse: Drinking in the cold causes more problems
It only takes a few minutes to start showing the signs of frostbite when it's this cold outside.
Local emergency rooms have been busy treating people for frostbite and in some cases, hypothermia.
Angie Woelffner, a nurse at Saint Joe's said that the extreme cold can not only be a hazard to our health, but drinking in these bitter cold conditions can be even worse.
"Unfortunetaly, drinking can make the cold even scarier cause even more problems," she said. "It inhibits shivery and causes dehydration which makes the body prone to more injuries as well."
Some of the warning signs for frostbite include redness or pain, white or grayish-yellow skin and unusually firm or waxy skin.

Midwife Collaborations Continue to Evolve
Midwife Collaborations Continue to Evolve
As collaborations between certified nurse midwives and physicians continue to grow, professional groups for both are working to outline best practices for meeting the health care needs of women.
"I don't think you'll find one size fits all," said Jeanne Conry, MD, president of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). "It truly is an evolutionary process. But you will see more practices shift to where physicians are looking at how to achieve balance in their practices."
While many practices have had long-standing collaborations with nurse midwives, the use of midlevel practitioners, nurse midwives in particular, is expected to continue to grow, she said.
The prevalence of nurse midwives in private practices, labor and delivery rooms, and clinics suggests that women are becoming accustomed to a visit that doesn't always mean seeing a physician, said Ginger Breedlove, PhD, CNM, APRN, FACNM, president of American of College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM).
The shift can be seen in a number of ways, one of them being the steady increase in the rate of midwife-attended births, which has grown nearly every year since 1989, when the data was first made available. This shift is also apparent in individual hospitals, where more midwives are occupying hospital labor and delivery floors, and in private practices, where more patients are asking to see a midwife.
"There is a shift in awareness that the ob/gyn world sees a value in our role," Breedlove said. "We're approaching the 60th anniversary of our professional association—we've been around a long time—and we're getting closer to a tipping mass. It's hard to ignore the fact that there is a master-level professional provider who excels in caring for normal-health women."
However, there are still unknowns and irregularities in how certified nurse midwives and physicians can best collaborate. With that in mind, the ACNM board voted this month to form a task force on how to best approach their colleagues at ACOG about jointly creating a tool kit to outline the best practices for collaboration, Breedlove said. The tool kit would cover working together in any number of settings from labor and delivery hospital wings to federally qualified health centers and rural and urban private practices, she said.
"We need templates for how collaborations in different settings work," she said. "It's really urgent that we begin to put this together in a way that can be easily transferred into someone needing help establishing a collaborative practice and wanting to move in this direction."
This is by far the first of such efforts to better define and outline the future roles within an increasingly collaborative environment. Researchers are seeking better ways to measure how patient outcomes and satisfaction rates are influenced by midwifery care. Elsewhere, insurance billing rates, malpractice liability, and the process of gaining hospital privileges can still vary wildly by region, prompting some to call for more uniformity where possible.
"Where midwives can get privileges, what they can do, and how they function is still evolving," said Lani Pincus, CNM, MS, NP, who works with two physicians and one other certified nurse midwife at Mid Hudson Medical Group in New York. "Some hospitals are more restrictive. It usually takes one person to break that mold to where other physicians see that this could be a standard."
Helping to break that mold in regions where midwifery is scarce is part of what Breedlove hopes a tool kit could provide. "There is still a lot of confusion and fear," Breedlove said. "But there are answers … And taking that collective knowledge, experience, and success and putting it in a way that doesn't make it seem so daunting reduces that fear."

Chapter Eight0 Reviews
This one's a bit less mild than the others.
After that I ran my fingers lightly up Brendon's chest like I had earlier that day and pushed myself further up so that I could lay my head against his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around me and moved so that his legs were on either side of mine. I encircled his neck with my arms, and folded my hands together at the back of his neck. He returned by settled farther down onto the sofa so that I could more easily lean on him.
His steady breathing lulled me into sleep again, and this time it was the best place and position I'd ever slept in.
When I woke up again it was still dark and I was wide awake. Brendon and I were much in the same position we had fallen asleep in, except for now he was asleep as well. I looked around the room and saw that Ryan was now sleeping in the recliner, and John was on the other sofa.
Slowly, I disentangled myself from Brendon and got up from the couch. After that I swiftly walked to the front of the RV and sat down in the seat beside Spencer.
"Hey," he greeted with a yawn. "Seemed like you had a real nice nap."
"Oh yeah, but I'm sure you could provide an even better nap with no sleeping involved, am I right?" I growled.
"You bet. But," and now he was serious. "I would never, ever, do that to Brendon. He really likes you, you know." Spencer glanced at me and turned back to the road.
"Oh yeah, really. He hasn't had a girlfriend since," a pained look crossed his face, "Marissa."
"Why's that?"
Spencer shook his head, "You'll have to ask him, I'm not going to betray his secrets, not even to a hot girl like you."
Punching him playfully in the shoulder, I got up and walked to the fridge. "Want anything?" I called back quietly.
"Sure, a Dr. Pepper would be good."
So after extracting a Pepsi and a Dr. Pepper from the refrigerator, I walked back up to Spencer and handed the can to him, then opened my own can.
We sat for awhile in companionable silence, both of us watching the road disappear before us.
"So what's your story?" I asked after a bit.
"Story?" Spencer asked, raising an eyebrow. "Like about my past?"
"Hmm. Nothing interesting, just a normal life. You?"
"Oh you know, my parents were billionaires so I grew up in luxury and riches beyond belief, nothing much," I joked.
"Are you freaking serious?" Spencer's jaw dropped.
"Well yeah," I replied. "It was kind of sucky. All the kids knew who I was, and I could never trust anyone to want me for just me. They usually just wanted some of my money," I shrugged. "But whatever."
Spencer shook his head, and a voice drifted up from farther back in the rv. "Spencer, what have you done with my sleeping buddy?" whined Brendon.
I blushed and Spencer laughed. "She's keeping me company," he replied. "But you can have her back," he smirked at me.
"See ya in the morning," I laughed, getting up. I threw my can of Pepsi away and walked back to where Brendon was. He was looking expectantly at me, but I gave a 'tch' and walked past him into the bathroom.
When I came out Brendon was sitting up on the couch, looking disconcerted. "What? Are you afraid I was so desperate that I was going to sleep in the bathroom?" I teased, walking over to him.
"Well kinda…" Brendon admitted. He stayed sitting up as I sat down. Instead of leaning on him I laid down the other way, my head on the opposite arm of the couch. I stretched, arching my back and giving a little moan.
Suddenly I heard a sharp intake of breath and my eyes flicked over to Brendon. He was watching me with a strange look on his face. "What?" I asked, confused.
"You have no idea what that just did to me," Brendon said slowly. "And now I have to do this." Before I could resist he was suddenly on top of me, his lips pressed to mine along with the rest of his body.
I froze, but then relaxed and let him wrap his arms around me and pull me up to him. I touched his chest, and then let my fingers go lower, to the top of his jeans. He moaned slightly and I pushed my figners past the rough material, to softer material. "Nice boxers," I whispered as he started kissing my neck.
Brendon growled a little bit and suddenly his hands were against the skin of my lower back and going higher until he found my bra. "Nice bra," he countered.
"Can you keep it down!" complained Jon from where he was sleeping.
Brendon and I looked each other and sniggered. Then he sighed. "Yeah, come on let's get some sleep."
"Fine," I huffed, pushing Brendon until he was leaning against the opposite end of the couch. Then I crawled up his body so again I could wrap my arms around his neck, but when I was situated I ran one hand down his body to his jeans, and hooked my fingers over the denim. Brendon moved his hands down my back, and grabbed my hips. He pulled me to him and ground into me, making me gasp.
Ryan and Jon both looked up and I blushed. "We are going to expel you to the bedroom if you do not be quiet and go to sleep," promised Jon as Ryan chuckled.
"Scout's honor," promised Brendon. "Even though I'm not a scout.
"Singer's honor," I added, and they looked at me.
"Singer?" asked Jon.
"Oh, I don't act all that much. I'm usually a Singer for the Playhouse. I'm also a DJ for a club, and a performer at another club," I explained. "I've actually gotten a few offers from producers, which I'll probably take when we get back."
We all chatted for a few minutes, Brendon's fingers rubbing circles on my lower back. About ten minutes later we all drifted off to sleep again.

when you turn thirteen and want to paint your nails black
I'll rummage through an old drawer and give you my own polish.
when you look at me and say, "momma, I'm lost."
I'll turn you towards the mirror
and say, "run darlin', don't ever let them find you."
when the first day of high school comes
and you hurry to get out of the car with nerves in hand I'll tell you,
"don't run, walk slow. you'll make it through."
when you go on your first date I'll remember my first date.
I'll remember the look on my own mother's face
when he didn't open my car door
and baby, if he doesn't open the car door remember your momma saying, "he doesn't get to open anything else either."
one day that boy will break your heart
and when you lock yourself in your room
I'll buy you a journal, a brand new pen, a 2 liter of strawberry soda
and a potted violet with a note saying something like,
"white oleanders are poisonous and so is heartache.
violets symbolize something that I've since forgotten
and strawberry soda drowns the salt in your tears."
one day you'll pack your things,
I'll write you letters and send you candles in the mail.
you'll marry young or maybe old.
you'll have a daughter of your own and watch the sun rise in her eyes.
just remember to never look up what violets symbolize
and when she looks at you with tears in her eyes
saying, "momma, I'm lost."
turn her towards the mirror
and say, "run darlin', don't ever let them find you."
remember the white oleanders. remember how their poison makes them beautiful/d.a.h (via whisperingbones)
Country is country. It don't matter if you're from the South or the North. It don't matter what kinda clothes you wear or what color your skin is. Country is what's in your heart and the way you live life. So don't tell me that i'm not 'country' because i'm from the North.
"We're so bad at sex and then we wonder why women aren't like, really aggressive about sex. We think it's cause they don't have as much desire as we do. That's how stupid men are, that we think 'they're just weird, women are like fucked up in the head cause they don't wanna just fuck all the time. If I was a women, I'd just fuck everybody. Why don't they wanna fuck all the time? I do'. Of course you do, cause when you fuck, you get to fuck a woman! When she fucks, she has to fuck a guy! Wildly different experiences. For a man, 100% of the time, it's the greatest thing that ever happened in his entire life. For a woman, about 40% of the time, when she's being fucked by a guy, she's thinking 'I'll get over this in a week. It's not the worst thing. I'm not gonna cry this time'
"Another thing that proves how bad men are at sex is that after sex, you're looking at two very different people. The man just wants to lay there, be cool and the woman wants to cuddle…'Why is she so NEEDY?' She's not needy you idiot, she's horny, because you did nothing for her. YOU DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. HER PUSSY IS ON FIRE BECAUSE IT'S GONE UNFUCKED COMPLETELY. Of course you're fine, you climbed on and went "KFHGSKG" and rolled off. And she's on you because she's like 'WH-at SOMETHING ELSE HAS TO HAPPEN, THIS IS BULLSHIT!!" If you fuck a woman well, she will LEAVE YOU ALONE. 'Thanks a lot buddy, zzzzz'"

That moment in your childhood when you realize that Diagon Alley is just the word diagonally….
And the Mirror of Erised is just the word desire backwards.
Didn't even realize. Does that mean Knockturn Alley is nocturnally (dark/night)?
Yes, and Grimmauld Place is a play on grim old place.
Our imperfections are what make us human and denying someone their right to be imperfect is denying reality.
I really want to read my book but I also want to watch 87 hours of Netflix and travel the world and and kiss someone I like and sleep for most of the day… And also I have a lot of homework
This post is too real
Can this be the new universal sign for that?
Yes. This.
this is going to happen. New universally recognized motion.
This is me, my name is Kelli and I'm 17-years-old, battling cancer for the third time. I have less than a year to live and the only thing I want to do more than anything before I die is meet Ellen. She's my sunshine. She's the reason I wake up everyday and I watch her show every morning. She just radiates so much joy and happiness and she gives me hope. It's really my dream to be able to meet her. Unfortunately, due to a long waiting list, the Wish Foundation told me I probably wouldn't be able to meet her within my short timeline. But I see miracles happen all the time.. therefore I won't give up on my dream. I thought that maybe if this gets enough attention, someone from the Ellen Show would come across it, or maybe even Ellen herself will know of me and my wish to meet her. Please, help me make my wish come true.

Chris Dorner is not the only one: Two officers, same stories, different outcomes
by Maleena Lawrence
In recent days we have been trying to come to grips as to why Chris Dorner, a decorated military soldier and former LAPD officer, has chosen the path of "necessary evil" to clear his name. To get a better understanding of his actions, I read his manifesto, in which he states that by crossing the blue line, he was retaliated against, persecuted and terminated, thus effectively ending both his military and law enforcement careers.
I interviewed Sgt. Franklin after reading an LA Times article about his battle with police corruption written on May 28, 2009, by Joel Rubin, then again in the intense days of the LAPD announcing its plans to reopen Dorner's case and Los Angeles authorities offering a $1 million bounty leading to his arrest.
For those unfamiliar with Sgt. Franklin's case, in 2005, his home was illegally searched by LAPD. The search warrant falsely stated the location was a gang hangout with "numerous citizen complaints of gang activity and blatant narcotic sales/use at the location."
A LAPD internal investigation cleared the officers of all allegations of misconduct stating there was no evidence that the officers had falsified a search warrant. Sgt. Franklin was then forced to seek a remedy through a civil suit. The jury unanimously found the officers involved liable for falsifying a search affidavit, which is a crime, and their conduct outrageous in doing so. Sgt. Franklin again asked that these officers be disciplined, but LAPD refused and instead promoted them.
Sgt. Franklin then sought aid from the Police Commission, Los Angeles City Council members, FBI, NAACP, ACLU and the mayor of Los Angeles, all of whom refused to acknowledge or respond.
If one wants insight into the mindset of Chris Dorner, one simply needs to speak to Sgt. Randy Franklin. Both are military trained male Black police officers who reported injustices and endured the racist wrath of the Los Angeles Police Department. Both have spent large amounts of their personal incomes to fight the injustice of the department.
The difference is, Sgt. Franklin chose a much less tragic route to air his grievances and reclaim his name. He has spent the past eight years trying to get the aforementioned people to listen and correct what they have done but to no avail.
Mentally, this makes you wonder, how many more officers silently suffer under the blue line instead of speaking out?
Unfortunately, it has taken a Dorner manifesto and several targeted deaths to get LAPD to take notice. If you ask Sgt. Franklin what he thinks of the LAPD today, he will tell you, "They lack integrity, honor, dignity, discipline, reverence for the law and respect for the people they swore to serve." This comes straight from someone who believes that the greatest mistake in his life was joining the LAPD.

Lubbock County Commissioners will send a formal request to the Texas Department of Transportation and Safety asking that an overpass be built at Highway 87 and Woodrow Road.
Commissioner Bill McCay says the county wants to do anything it can to improve driver safety. The final call will be up to TxDOT, which would foot the bill.
There have been numerous accidents at or near the intersection. McCay said in January of 2005 that he is especially trying to tackle Woodrow Road and make it a safer route to Lubbock Cooper High School.
You may remember back in August of 2004, 17-year-old Andrea Rodriguez died following a five car pile up. According to DPS, four cars on Woodrow Road had slowed down to let a bus turn onto another county road. That's when a fifth car hit the end of the line of vehicles causing a chain reaction crash. Rodriguez was a student at Lubbock Cooper.
And back in July of 2005 another fatal traffic accident occurred at the intersection of 87 and Woodrow. DPS troopers say Oscar Beltran pulled out in front of a Ford Explorer. His two passengers, 26-year-old Isabell Segura and 3-month-old Margarita Dominguez died in the crash.
Again, the final call for the overpass will be up to TxDOT. We'll continue to follow this story and bring you the latest.

Callie Gaytan takes center stage whether the curtain is up or not. Rising Star Musical Theatre Troupe Summer Camp, mentioned in this a couple of weeks ago, staged its first production of the summer season last weekend at J.E.T. Studios in North Hollywood. Callie plays the lead in Annie but she stars in her own life off stage too.
As you'll see in the video, she's not shy about appearing on camera or directing the photographer (me).
After only three weeks of rehearsals, the cast of this show knocked me out with a much-better-than-amateur performance. I'm not the only one who was impressed. Producers had to add a matinee to seat ticket buyers who sold out the two evening performances.
Ranging in age from 7 to 15, these kids were not kidding around. While all the thespians I interviewed cited hanging with friends as one of the pleasures of camp, many of them, with their parents' blessing, harbor real life theatrical aspirations.
Sam Cohen, a young film and TV talent, likes coming to Rising Star because he gets to sing and dance.
"'Cause I don't really get allowed to do that," Sam concedes. "I just act," he says, while explaining that his mom, dad and grandpa are all musicians or singers.
Beth Meurer along with her husband Rob, a professional composer, started Rising Star as a year round theater program in a room at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Studio City five years ago. The couple were long-time members of the church and the congregation agreed that the theater troupe was a community service.
Beth reveals that she was motivated to start her own academy, where the curriculum is based on "compassionate communication," by the harsh treatment her daughter and her classmates were subjected to at another acting school.
"It's a way of communicating without being in any way threatening or punitive. It's just a way of working with the kids to help them understand how to be more cooperative," she explains. Beth admits the technique can be challenging when conflicts arise, but she takes pride in administering it successfully. And the parents notice it too as they told me in the video.
Callie's mom Cindy Gaytan quotes Beth telling her, "People underestimate kids and what they can do. You just give them the parts and they just go with it." Cindy adds, "There's a lot of kids out there with a lot of potential."
Rehearsal for the summer's second production, Guys and Dolls, started on Monday. Sam Cohen is already cast as "Nathan Detroit."

what about 8x8 and 12x12
Will you ever offer 8×8 and 12×12 books for those of us who are digitally scrapbooking in those sizes, please?
I second this request…and maybe add a 10×10 option too.
Please, oh, please!
I just had my first project printed and I'm so thrilled with the image wrap cover and the premium paper! I've been working on a 12×12 book that I was going to print elsewhere (the only place I could find that did a 12×12 image wrap) and their books aren't nearly as nice.
I'm sure you would get tons of business from digital scrapbookers if you offered these sizes.
I also agree with the idea of the different book sizes being proportional so you could print smaller copies of the same book without having to reformat.

Bingo! I'm a digital scrapbooker and digital supplies are created to be 12×12. I always re-crop so I can make my pages in Blurb (no offense to Shutterfly – who has pretty much established themselves as the place to make/print your digital scrapbook – but they just can't compare with Blurb). I'd love to save the step, so I second the motion to have a 12×12 book!

I am a photographer, not a scrapbooker——and I very much agree. Square albums would allow me to to create digital pages in Photoshop etc, in the largest size, then easily resize to a smaller pages to sell smaller/less expensive books—that perfectly fit, identically square format. Square albums have been popular among high end wedding album mfrs (especially for digitally created albums) for years. If we had 12×12 (I could be talked into 10×10 with lower cost) and a smaller size, 6×6 or 7×7 or 8×8, those 2 sizes would get 100% of my business.
Right now I am shopping around and testing POD book services for photobooks. I am working on several projects that are square format and I too would absolutely choose Blurb for my printing if only they offered something bigger than 7×7. I would really like 10×10 and 12×12 and am wondering why you don't offer these choices like a few other companies (of lesser quality) do. The 7×7 books are just too small but your BookSmart software is great and very easy to use. If you offer more sizes in square I will be your customer and I know many others that will also.

Please, please make a larger square book. I have a ton of scrapbook pages created in square format and 7×7 is too small! 10×10 would be fantastic!

A major Wyoming sports event will return to KOTA Territory after a two year absence.
The State Soccer Cup will come to Sheridan Memorial Day weekend in 2014 and 2015. The youth soccer tournament will be played at the Big Horn Equestrian Center, a few miles south of Sheridan.
Sheridan and Big Horn last hosted the event in 2011. Shawn Buckley, the Executive Director of Sheridan Travel and Tourism, who lobbied to bring the event to Sheridan, says he is excited about the potential economic effects.
"The impact for those two days is going to be very noticeable. It's going to be a strong influx of people, families, youth, players, participants, etcetera, all based around this particular soccer event," said Buckley.
In 2011, the tournament brought 3,800 visitors to the Sheridan area. The event is in Casper this year, and was held there in 2012.

1. Luke Schenn and James van Riemsdyk go head-to-head with their new teams. Who gets the upper hand?
Schenn has been a solid defender for the Flyers and JvR has found chemistry on Toronto's top line alongside Phil Kessel. With Schenn on the top pairing with Kimmo Timonen in Philly, it's likely the two will face each other head-to-head a bit on Monday night as well. So, who has the better game?
2. Can the Sharks get back on track?
From our Brandon Worley this Monday morning:
The Sharks remain near the top of the Western Conference with 16 points in 11 games, yet are just 2-2-2 since that hot start and have now lost four games in a row after a 1-0 shootout loss to Phoenix on Saturday night. The Sharks have scored just five goals in their last five games, with the scoring woes continuing to build with each passing game.
3. Will Colorado score some goals already?
From Avs blog Mile High Hockey:
The Avs offense has been unimpressive so far this season with 3 shutouts against and a league-worst 9.1% conversion rate on the power play and they will be looking to turn it around against a defensive minded Coyotes team. Fortunately for the Avs, this traditionally stingy Coyotes defense has been allowing more goals (2.67 per game) than usual and their goaltending tandem has looked suspect at times.
4. Rick DiPietro makes just his second start of the season. How does he perform?
I mean, we don't need to expand upon this too much. DiPietro has played like four games since 1996 thanks to injury (might be an exaggeration) and number five will be played tonight.
5. Jaroslav Halak returns. Can he get the Blues back to winning?
The Blues have had an extremely tough February, and with Brian Elliott playing like ... well, crap ... and Jaroslav Halak out with injury, things looked even more bleak. But Halak returns to the lineup and should help the Blues on the backend. Can he get support on the offensive end and can the Blues get back to the win column?

One of Sheila Delijani's earliest memories is feeding cats with her grandmother in Italy.
"I always loved animals as a child," she said. That love manifested as a career in veterinary medicine, and Delijani's new Glen Cove practice is one centered around the idea that the animals she treats aren't simply her clients' pets; they are patients.
Delijani's husband, Jason Samel, manages the practice.
"It's about what's best for the animal. We also look at their mental state - it's not just thinking about their physicality," he said.
Samel owns JayMar Insurance Agency in Jericho. He runs that business with a strong sense of social responsibility in the forefront of his mind, he said, and brings the same attitude to his wife's venture.
The couple, who live in Great Neck, chose their Forest Ave. location for its proximity to Petco across the street.
"All the dog owners in the area are coming to this spot organically," Delijani said.
Let Patch save you time. Get local stories like this delivered right to your inbox or smartphone every day with our free newsletter. Simple, fast sign-up here.
She worked in two Nassau County veterinary offices before striking out on her own. She found the building at 120 Forest Ave., formerly home to NYPC Services, two years ago and loved it, she said. With renovations complete, the Glen Cove Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon-cutting ceremony there Friday.
The practice features some of the latest in veterinary surgical technology, including a full-body digital x-ray machine, cages that supply extra oxygen and a drier that doesn't use heat to dry animals after they get washed.
Delijani described her practice as one that "veers toward integrative medicine," an approach that combines medical philosophies of Eastern and Western culture. She is trained in veterinary acupuncture and tries to look at her patients "more holistically," she said. She wants to refrain from prescribing antibiotics arbitrarily, though the industry provides the financial incentive to rely on medications.
Delijani insisted that a real concern for animals' long-term health is a better business model than prescribing quick-fix medications.
"I firmly believe that if you practice good medicine, you will attract a loyal following," she said.
Samel told a story about his wife visiting a client's home to put down their dog.
"Usually it's 10, 15 minutes, you know? Put the dog down, done," he said. Delijani spent an hour and a half with the family. That kind of attention is what she is banking on will see her practice to success.
Community members are invited to an open house at the office Sunday from 12-4 p.m. for a chance to tour the facility, enjoy refreshments and take home some pet gift bags.
"It's an opportunity for people to get to know us, our staff, and to get to know our philosophy," Delijani said.
For more information, call the office at 516-676-4838.

When leaves are on the ground and jack-o-lanterns flicker in the windows, it's time to load up the DVD player with anime titles that send a chill down the spine. Here are thirteen anime titles for Halloween (or any dark and stormy night!), each scary in their own creative way: vampires and bogeymen, urban legends and demons from beyond, ghosts and zombies and you-name-it.
Note that many of these are suggested for teens and up, and a few are definitely for mature audiences only.
1. Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales
2. Boogiepop Phantom
A silly name that camouflages a disturbing and challenging series, about the various people connected -- however tentatively -- to a string of murders that took place five years ago. The show plays with chronology, expectations, emotional responses, you name it; it's one of those experiences that leaves a mark even when you can't say precisely what it's about. One of those shows that rewards rewatching, and close rewatching at that.
3. Shiki
When a clan of what appear to be vampires move into a bucolic little village in the country and begin feasting on the locals, the battle lines seem clear: humans good, vampires bad. But one of the many, many surprises of Shiki is in how it plays with, confounds, and ultimately sabotages your expectations for everyone and everything involved. A genuinely horrific story, and not at all for the reasons you might initially think.
4. Hell Girl
5. Hellsing
Who's the best person to send after a vampire? Another vampire, of course. Based (somewhat loosely) on the manga of the same name, Hellsing follows the adventures of vampire (and now vampire hunter) Alucard and his female partner Seras Victoria as they comb England and points beyond to find and stop the plague of undead. A perennial fan favorite, the series exists both in a TV incarnation and an even better direct-to-video (OAV) version.

What is PBIS?
PBIS is a school-wide system of support that includes proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviors to create a positive school environment.
Why PBIS?
*Research conducted over the past fifteen years has shown that PBIS is effective in promoting positive behavior in students and schools. Use of PBIS as a strategy to maintain appropriate social behavior will make schools safer. Safer schools are more effective learning environments.
*Schools that implement system-wide interventions also report increased time engaged in academic activities and improved academic performance.
*Schools that employ system-wide interventions for problem behavior prevention indicate reductions in office discipline referrals of 20-60%. If you would like to know more about this contact the Principal at 395-3754.
As always, Capac Community Schools puts student safety at the forefront.. Please review the following bus safety tips:
In a one-day study (May 2013) involving 1,392 school buses, bus drivers reported 1,165 vehicles passing while the RED lights were flashing. Throughout Michigan, there are approximately 17,000 school buses transporting over 1 million children to and from school every day.

If you have any questions, contact Janet Sonner at 810/395-3705 for assistance.
All parents and visitors to Capac Middle School must sign in at the office upon entering the building.
Please do not show up, unannounced, at the classroom and expect teachers to take instructional time to meet with you. They can better address your concerns if you phone or e-mail them to set up a mutually convenient time.
Student Safety
Students are not to walk between buildings. If it is necessary for them to go to an athletic practice or meet a sibling at another building after-school, they must ride their bus to the bus circle. If they are "walkers", they can "shuttle" over on any bus parked in front of the school.
Morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up routines at Capac Middle School have been a concern for many years. In an effort to avoid serious injury to any child, the District Transportation Department and the Village of Capac have agreed to close Neeper Street to vehicle traffic, between Church Street and Aldrich Street, from 2:35 p.m. and 2:45 p.m.
When picking up your child please park on either Church or Aldrich Street and instruct them to meet you there. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Pope Benedict XVI announced Monday he would resign Feb. 28, the first pontiff to do so in nearly 600 years. The decision sets the stage for a conclave to elect a new pope before the end of March.The 85-year-old pope announced his decision in Latin during a meeting of Vatican cardinals Monday morning."After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry," he told the cardinals.
The last pope to resign was Pope Gregory XII, who stepped down in 1415 in a deal to end the Great Western Schism among competing papal claimants.Benedict called his choice "a decision of great importance for the life of the church."The move sets the stage for the Vatican to hold a conclave to elect a new pope by mid-March, since the traditional mourning time that would follow the death of a pope doesn't have to be observed.There are several papal contenders in the wings, but no obvious front-runner as was the case when Benedict was elected pontiff in 2005 after the death of Pope John Paul II.

Cooking for Christmas Concerts
This week, on top of running Westonbirt Enchanted Christmas Lights and Winchester Christmas Market, I am also preparing for a mega Christmas Concert at Sylvan's school. He is performing in Concert Band, Baines Windband, Junior Chapel Choir and Big Band. So the school is getting value for money from him and only 1 parent taking up space for 4 different performances. After the concert, wine and cakes are sold as a fund raiser, so I have made mini mince pies and normal size ones decorated with some of our lovely edible Christmas decorations and Nigella's Marshmallow crispie cakes decorated with more edible Christmas shapes and white hologram edible glitter. I am hoping people will "ooh" and "ahh" at them and buy them to eat!
Other news from Fairyglass Towers: Westonbirt Enchanted Lights are, surprisingly, ….enchanting! There are carol singers or bands every night apart from tonight, hot roast chestnuts and an 8′ fairy! There is plenty of free parking, hot food and a real fire in the shop as well as 3 other chalets apart from ours. The fairies would love you to come and see them! Winchester Christmas market is also going strong. There are lots and lots of stalls but plenty of room to walk around without feeling crowded.. We are next to a mulled wine, hot chocolate, mince pie and stollen stall, which smells delicious and keeps our spirits up in the cold. Ben and Ella will be there all weekend and Lucy is there during the week. They would really like people to say hello and maybe even buy a fairy or two!
