The early success of the Denver slam scene (reaching the final stages in national competitions for a couple of years before finally winning those championships) has created mentors who help shape the up-and-comers, who in turn are bound to move and shake the world of poetry for years to come.
"We're seeing a lot of the turnaround from that mentoring now, where the youth are coming into adult slam teams and those teams are doing really well," Mullins adds. "I think there are a lot of people who are really invested in fostering a good, open environment and holding that space and making it open for all of the poets who have come forward."
Representative selection for the Women of the World Poetry Slam (to be held in Austin, in March) will take place on January 26 at the Merc; tonight at 7:30 p.m., the venue will hold a Last Chance Slam, during which the final candidates for next week's slam-off will be chosen. The Mercury is at 2199 California Street; call 303-294-9281 for more information.
Sun., Jan. 19, 7:30-10:30 p.m., 2014

I have never used a springform pan before. This one did not stick. However it did leak slightly. That may be because what I was cooking was very oily and a small amount of oil leaked out. I enjoyed using the product.
I recommend this product. -
This pan was an exceptional value for the dollars spent. It is a very heavy gauge pan and I would highly recommend it.

Great Product!
This was just what I was looking for. I love the way it locks on the side. The cheesecake is perfect when you can just easily unlock the side. Great Product! And non stick too!

Great Product
I am very pleased with this pan - it has substantial heft and thickness, and appears to be of excellent quality. Haven't yet used it, but the pieces fit together perfectly with a tight seal, and the ring portion is heavy enough metal that it doesn't twist, so I don't anticipate any problems with leakage. I really DO wish that they would make a springform pan that has two inserts - the flat one, as here, but would really love one with a flute center as well. My mother had one years ago, and it was MOST useful to have that additional central-flute insert for coffee cakes, etc.

Cheese Cake
Anyone who makes cheeseckes will simply love this pan, it's a great weight, it doesn't leak, it releases the cheesecake easily when cooled. I would give this pan as a gift to any baker in my Family or as a Bridal Gift for the Wishing Well.I Highly Recommend it. Mrs.Karen Leah

Stick Shift: Closet Case No. 1
We've all met a Closet Case at some point in our lives, a guy who's uncomfortable with his man-loving tendencies, and chooses to tamp them down, hard. In the gayified culture in which many straight men now exist—where moisturizing is expected; where anal's the new contraception; where bros share tips on shaving their nuts—maintaining this subjugation must require Herculean emotional strength. But like any such effort, this kind of repression causes damning tells to burble up elsewhere—like a lifelong game of Whac-A-Mole. One of the hallmark reveals of the genus Caseus Closetus is a monomaniacal desire to avoid anything even marginally effeminate: like handling a purse, saying a word in French, or admitting that David Beckham might be good-looking. Another is to lash out vituperously at the gays. But the most common is to affect a super-manly stance. What, you may ask, does all this have to do with cars?
Well this: the Dodge Ram 1500. Styled like a Semi, powered by a honkin' Hemi, this truck is meant to be the vehicular equivalent of a Blue Collar Comedy guy: tough, thoughtless, and no-nonsense. Even the pickup's advertising tagline—Never back down—sounds like an action star's catchphrase, or the diplomatic musings of Dick Cheney. But like anything that's trying this hard to act macho, methinks its protesteths belie its special secret. My evidence? Regard the confused, rear-ending implications of its name: Dodge Ram (Which is it?) Peruse the ambitious layering of chrome on every surface—the automotive parallel to piling on the product and accessories. And ponder its new coil-spring suspension, which prevents it from displaying the suspicious ass-in-the-air posture most half-tons sport when their beds are empty, and causes it to sag, ashamed, when a heavy payload has been dumped in its rear.
But it's the truck's exterior design that truly clangs the Closet Case bell. Its hard edges, gun-sight grille, chiseled hood, and sneering headlights communicate a hyper-masculinity that feels at once calculated, desperate, and cartoonish—like a Spartan warrior, or one of the Village People. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for butch drag—who hasn't enjoyed a good bedroom game of "Firehouse" or "Marine Barracks"? But part of drag's allure comes from knowing that you're playing a role. Otherwise, Mary, it's just called faking it. Dodge Ram: your pink slip is showing.

Ezekiel�s Call to Be a Prophet
1 He said to me, �Son of man,[a] stand up on your feet and I will speak to you.�
2 As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet, and I heard him speaking to�me.
3 He said: �Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their ancestors have been in revolt against me to this very day.
4 The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn. Say to them, �This is what the Sovereign Lord says.�
5 And whether they listen or fail to listen�for they are a rebellious people�they will know that a prophet has been among them.
6 And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or be terrified by them, though they are a rebellious people.
7 You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious.
8 But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel like that rebellious people; open your mouth and eat what I give you.�
9 Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me. In it was a scroll,
10 which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.

My server do not allowed me to have the .htaccess file changed to AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
So I had to discard that option. Also, the page I'm talking about has many years of exposition. It's in thousands of links all over, so I really don't want to change it to #*$!.php
I have one line of PHP embedded inside my .html file that reads an XML file and displays it.
Is there any command that I can add at the beginning of my .HTML file that will make that php line run?
Basic, this is the line: <?php $mm_xsl2->setXSL("mynew.xsl"); echo $mm_xsl2->Transform(); ?>
What I need is just run this, inside the .html file, w/o touching the apache configuration. Any chances to do it?
THank you all for the ideas. Also, I'm new on this PHP and server issues, so be nice! :)
[edited by: ehm01 at 10:33 pm (utc) on Sep. 25, 2008]
I'm not sure what is that, but basic I can't do much on my server. If there is a solution, need to be done under my own folder on the server, not at Apache level. Is that possible?

Accessories and Documentation
As part of the accessories, you are given a foot long cable that offers Micro-USB on one end and USB on the other. This allows the mouse to charge from the USB port into the mouse via the Micro-USB end. Flipping the cable allows the USB end to plug into the mouse, then offering the Micro-USB end to charge the phone.
Since the Energy is wireless, there has to be a dongle to transfer information from the mouse into the PC. This tiny USB dongle with the Genius name on it allows for 2.4Ghz transmissions between the mouse and the PC.
There is also a user manual provided to explain things in further detail. Images on the front show its uses, with one denoting the wireless transmissions, and the smaller image shows the charging capability.
Inside of the manual there are two images to the left that show the charging port, buttons functionality, and LED location in the first one. In the lower image the mouse is connected to a phone. The right half then shows how to charge the LiPo battery, and what the indicator LEDs mean.
As you progress deeper into the manual, what we just went over is explained in much more detail. On the left is the installation routine, and how to use its charging capabilities. It also explains the charge button and gives the layout of the mouse. To the right it starts with explaining the LEDs and finishes off with a bit of troubleshooting for the device.

Bishops play defense on anti-poverty initiative
As the nation's 200 or so Roman Catholic bishops prepare for their annual meeting in Baltimore next week (Nov. 15-18), the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) has become yet another battlefield in what some Catholics lament is an increasingly polarized church.
For four decades, the U.S. Catholic bishops have maintained a nationwide program designed to help the poor lift themselves out of poverty. And for just as long, fierce critics have tried to kill it.

I have a real problem with this and I need to treat everything, ground, roost, laying boxes. What can I use that isn't toxic to the chickens or us but will kill these things? I need to get my area free of them before my eggs hatch. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Diatomaceous Earth. You can dust them with it, sift it over the area, mix it in the feed (to control internal parasites, and give animals an overall healthier look), make a sandbox for a dust bath with it mixed in. You can paint/dip the legs in cooking oil, vaseline, etc to smother existing mites a little quicker but the DE is your moneymaker. Dave |
I can see using it on the ground and nest boxes but what about the walls and the roost. Wouldn't that need treatment also? How much do I put in the food? |
- Posted by billie_ladybug 5b (My Page) on Wed, Apr 30, 08 at 17:59
Go to your vet supply and get a little bottle of VetRX. It is 100% natural and works great. Plus it is ok to you for shows and such. Much quicker than DE. Sufficates them. Just my 2-cents Billie |
- Posted by velvet_sparrow z10 So. Calif. (My Page) on Wed, Apr 30, 08 at 18:04
I've done lots of research on the various methods of getting rid of mites--scaley leg or otherwise, from Vaseline to DE to chemical sprays & dust. What I found out I put on my chicken info site, here: http://jackshenhouse.com/VSChickHealth.htm I personally favor the Adam Flea & Tick Mist With IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) spray. It does the job and KEEPS ON doing it for three months with one application. I had a little cochin hen who had a very stubborn scaley leg, the Adams spray cleared it up in one application and it hasn't come back since. It's also great for roost, nests, etc. I like to use my little hand-held steamer machine to get in the nooks and crannies of the coop, roosts and nests first. It's totally non-toxic and kills the little buggers with high-pressure steam, which they cannot develop a resistance to. I follow it up with the Adams spray, and it works like a charm. The Adams spray with IGR can be pricey, but since it keeps working for three months, it's a good investment. Velvet ~:> |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Intelligence Guidance: Week of Nov. 2, 2008

third and final presidential debate Oct. 15

and final presidential debate Oct. 15
Editor's Note: The following is an internal Stratfor document produced to
provide high-level guidance to our analysts. This document is not a
forecast, but rather a series of guidelines for understanding and
evaluating events, as well as suggestions on areas for focus.
1. The U.S. presidential election: Next week is about the U.S. election.
From Stratfor's point of view the most important issue will be how the
world reacts to the election. There is a widespread expectation that
Barack Obama will be elected. It is also generally anticipated. Much of
the world expects Obama and the Democrats to be easier to work with than
U.S. President George W. Bush or Republican candidate John McCain.
Therefore, should there be a McCain upset, the world will go through a
massive recalibration. If Obama is elected, foreign countries will line up
to do business with Obama. This guidance operates on the assumption - not
based on any knowledge beyond existing polls - that Obama will be elected.
If McCain wins, there will be a major adjustment to this guidance, to say
the least.
2. New foreign policy views: After the election, Obama's actual foreign
policy views will begin to emerge. Every presidential candidate discusses
foreign policy issues that they then shift on. Bush was a vigorous critic
of nation-building during his campaign, objecting to the idea that the
United States should be working to bring democracy to the world. In the
same way, many of Obama's campaign positions will not be implemented. We
may find hints of this in nuanced statements by advisers shortly after the
3. The next foreign policy team: We also need to watch the building of the
foreign policy team. Even before the election there has been tremendous
maneuvering. There are rumors of a Republican as either secretary of
defense or state. There is the question of the mix of Bill Clinton-era
appointees and new appointees. The specific people named don't matter
except to themselves. But we might be able to glean something from the
types of people selected. At any rate, we need to maintain overwatch.
4. The global financial crisis in Central Europe: The rest of the world
will still be functioning, hard as it is for an American to imagine. The
financial situation in Central Europe bears watching. This problem was not
created by the U.S. crisis but is Europe's own contribution. The situation
arises from loans made in non-eurozone countries denominated in euros or
Swiss francs. As Central European currencies slump, the cost of these
loans rises. Defaults increase. Hard-hit are mortgages, but also business
loans. The Europeans will be dealing with EU members not in the eurozone.
Watching them handle it will tell us a great deal about European unity in
the run up to the G-20 talks scheduled for Nov. 15.

Saakashvili will visit with his Lithuanian counterpart, Valdas Adamkus, to

Claire's Mixed Green Salad with Feta Vinaigrette
From EatingWell.com
This salad was inspired by one served during the peak of summer at Claire's Restaurant & Bar in Hardwick, VT. Chef Steven Obranovich of Claire's likes the soft crumbly sheep's-milk feta for this recipe. He cautions that the subtle briny notes of feta can sometimes be overpowered by too much lemon or an olive oil that's too fruity. Saltiness varies from feta to feta too. Add the ingredients a little at a time and taste as you go.

Arizona Nurse's License Threatened by Doctor After Providing pt education - page 11
the email and arizona state board of nursing casethis is a (must read) e-mail that was passed to me from echo heron. @echoheronauthor hello ms. heron, my name is amanda trujillo. i'm a registered... Read More
3Feb 18, '12 by kcmylornI have to wonder if someone on the BON doesn't also sit on the Board of trustees at that hospital. Why else would the BON care what rant some physican has if the only thing the nurse gave his/her patient was a case managment consult and making such a criminal case of it. It seems like the physican is trying to cover up his/her own inadequacies- not giving the full story to the patient to start with. This is just too bizzare. Some one is a big contributor somewhere. There has to be a connection between that physician, the hospital board and the BON. A husband, wife, brother in law, sister in law?? Spouse of a golf buddy?? Friend at the country club!! And as been previously printed in the introductor letter- the govenor, representaives that Amanda wrote to, suddenly shut her out!! Some has a political investment and connection. This is not a coincidence. DR Transplant must contribute some hefty bucks somewhere.
2Feb 18, '12 by MAISY, RN-ERI have not read all of the threads, do we have the physician's name, and the hospital's name? How about all of the board members on the BON? Perhaps, they should be posted on FB and every other blogging site with a request to write a letter.
If this was already mentioned I apologize....and where is the ANA? -
2Feb 18, '12 by gypsyd8The governor is Jan Brewer. She is republican. The US representative who got shot is Gabrielle Giffords, a Democrat. She resigned. Neither person has the power to intervene in a case like this. The BON is an unelected regulatory body. In CA, its part of the dept of consumer affairs, its probably similar in AZ. They have virtually no oversight and can persecute nurses without any form of due process. Abuses like this are actually common.Quote from MAISY, RN-ERThe Board of Nursing is a disgrace, as is the hospital......patient advocacy is everyone's job. Where is the hospital ethics committee? Where are the ethics in this state.....PERIOD? I would've behaved in exactly the same way and have had situations involving physicians and hospice/palliative care that were similar. The patient has the right to ALWAYS know their options......hope this doctor can live with himself....the Board of Nursing needs to be voted out.....where is the Governor? Isn't she the one that was shot in the head? If so, a neurosurgeon may have operated on her but her nurses and the nursing staff is what kept her alive.....hope she doesn't forget that!Good Luck Amanda...
2Feb 19, '12 by lindarnAre the medical boards like this, as well? No oversight or due process? Why do I not think that is the way doctors are treated by their state boards of medicine?
JMHO and my NY $0.02.

What you did was 100% right and I as well as every other good caring Nurse would have done the same. I was sad to read in your letter that you felt your career was over because I don't believe that at all. You must continue to reach out to us and let us know whats going on and how we can help. You will win this battle if you do not quit although it may take some time. I had a personal similar experience (non nursing) where I was also done wrong and it has taken me ten yrs but I am finally seeing the rewards of all my hard work and perseverence and boy are they sorry lol I am also seeing it financially (more money than I could make in 20 yrs as a nurse). So you stay vocal and I mean NEVER shut up for all of us and we'll keep watch as to your progress. Praying 4 U also...your going to be just finelindarn likes this. -
1Feb 19, '12 by morteSo, they are appointed. Hence, SOMEONE appointed them. If it can be proved there is a confict of interest, or the appearence of one, they should be (able) to be removed. I do think Amanda has pointed out that there is a relationship between the firing DON or staff ed person, and the Bon. I wonder if the FBI would consider this whole mess to be collusion.Quote from gypsyd8The governor is Jan Brewer. She is republican.

0Feb 19, '12 by Anxious PatientThis is the story of Nurse Amanda Trujillo. Briefly, she is a single mom who fought to get off welfare and fulfilled her dream of becoming a nurse. Not only did she become a nurse, she earned a masters and doctorate degree in nursing.
One night while working at Banner Health in Arizona, she took care of a patient who was being asked to undergo a liver transplant. In talking to the patient, Amanda learned that the patient did not fully understand what was going to occur. Amanda educated the patient. She explained the option of hospice instead. The patient decided against the transplant. Then the physician came in, had a well-witnessed tantrum at the hospital when he found out his patient had decided against surgery, and Amanda was fired by the hospital.

4Feb 19, '12 by kidsQuote from morteI find it very hard to believe that one doctor and/or one hospital is so powerful. I think there is a LOT more to this story but the only version of events we're hearing are Ms. Trujillo's. Every other entity involved is bound by confidentially rules as they should be.I am sure you are correct, ie "follow the money"! How many of the nursing board are married to/related to docs? My real big question is why the state nursing association is not behind her? and why did the senator back off? what the h-ll pull does this doc have?
Quote from gypsyd8Reply to Hampter 320 (not intended as a flame) As I said on another forum....She is an APRN, a primary care provider in her own right. She doesn't need to ask the physicians permissionQuote from kcmylornMs. Trujillo is an APRN student.Does that MD doctor understand these initials after that Nurse's name- DNS. AND an NP to boot. [Amanda Lucia Trujillo MSN, RN, DNSc-NP(s)]
In my state she can order, write and sign prescriptions and expect that they will be filled.
The way she's 'signed' her name makes it easy to over look and, to be honest, makes me a little suspicious.
Regardless, the scope of APRNs working as staff nurses are limited to that role, they aren't allowed to write orders on their patients just because they can.
Quote from KelRN215The verification also shows she SELF reported (something) in April 2011, there is no mention of the hospital or anyone else making a complaint.She is listed on the Arizona BON website, which confirms that her license is under investigation as of January 24:

Quote from WoosahRNNO BoN is on the nurses "side", they exist to protect the public.The AZ BON is not known for being on the nurse's side

Images show why I expend so much effort taking notes, saving and acquiring seed, trying new varieties, starting plants and babying them for such a long time, caring for and tending to the plants once in the garden, and fretting nervously about hail when the summer thunderstorms roll through - so I can smile with satisfaction when finally having a slice of that first beefsteak on the dinner plate. Pure heaven. I put up with eleven months of mostly crappy Minnesota weather every year for the one month of peak tomato harvest. As far as I am concerned every other vegetable I grow could fail and I would not care as long as I get my tomatoes. At present I have nine crates like shown, ready for processing. A very good situation to be in, I must say. I am also supplying some local fellow gardeners who got hailed out this summer - hopefully this will keep the good karma going, because I fear that my turn is way past due. Happy Tomato Harvest! |
Follow-Up Postings:
They look wonderful! Well done! What varieties did you grow and what are your favourites? Linda, who is currently making tomato sauce from non-paste tomatoes. It should be a looong evening waiting for it to thicken! |

"Linda, who is currently making tomato sauce from non-paste tomatoes. It should be a looong evening waiting for it to thicken!" - Yes, but a labor of love. I grow many types, many varieties, both heirloom and hybrids. My preferences for flavor are the heirloom pink beefsteaks. Many of the varieties I try each year end up being one-offs that I never try again. Experimenting is the only way to find the gems. I do have favorites, heirlooms and hybrids, that I grow every year for bulk processing needs. They may not have the best flavor but are dependable producers of many medium to large uniform fruits (I add heirloom varieties for flavor). I have been tinkering with the development of a few of my own varieties through cross pollination for just this purpose, some whose fruits are represented in the crate of paste tomatoes. My latest interest has been in trying to develop a large, thick-walled pink oxheart paste variety. Slow going, currently unstable but showing promise. Pretty fun. Best tomato I have ever tasted in my life was a pink Brandywine, yet I do not grow that variety anymore because I found the exceptional flavor to be hit or miss each year (mostly miss), and an unreliable producer. Was no longer willing to put up with being disappointed so often. |
I love the pink tomatoes too! Rose de Bern is my current favourite. However, this year I've really enjoyed Cherokee Purple. I know what you mean about pink Brandywine. I grew it years ago and loved the flavour, but decided it wasn't worth bothering with because of low productivity and the fact that the tomatoes often rotted before they ripened. Very disappointing! You sound as if you are having a lot of fun with your hybrid experiments. Wishing you lots of luck with your pink oxheart paste experiment. Linda |

NIce looking tomatoes! The white variety is striking. A lot of those could make some interesting sauce! Growing tomatoes in Minnesota must be challenging. What techniques to you use to help speed up the growing? |

"Growing tomatoes in Minnesota must be challenging. What techniques do you use to help speed up the growing?" - In all honesty the only technique I have found to work is patience and acceptance of the fact that the tomatoes will come when they come. And to never fertilize tomato plants with a high nitrogen fertilizer unless you like giant tomato shrubs with poor fruit production. ;) A little bit of neglect in strategic areas can help in overall success and quality. IMHO as much as I have experimented in the past I now accept that you simply cannot do anything to speed up the process of getting (good quality) ripe tomatoes, as much as I would dearly love to do so. All the more reason to appreciate and enjoy them when in season. |

Btw, making sauce with non-paste tomatoes and taking all that time to reduce it until it thickens? My sister does that, best sauce I have ever tasted. IMO a simple method of achieving excellent results of which many people are not aware. As for me, I simply do not have that kind of patience in the kitchen... The crate of pastes contains Incas, Classica, my own sausage-type, and other crosses. The crate of beefsteaks include Zarnitsa, Earl's Faux, Big Boy, Oregon, Black from Tula, Mortgage Lifter, Tomesol White, a medium yellow/orange off-type from Kellogg's Breakfast that I saved and stabilized, and one or two crosses. |

Newton Citizen
COVINGTON -- Newton County parents interested in learning more about the parent involvement theme school can attend a special meeting next week.
The Newton County Theme School at Ficquett will hold an information session at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in the school's cafeteria.
There, parents of prospective students can learn more about the school, which is located at 2207 Williams St. off Newton Drive, and its registration process for next school year.
"It's a great opportunity for people to come listen and ask questions," said Baxter Bouchillon, president of the school's PTO.
He said guests will get to see a video about parent involvement, hear a presentation and learn more about the school, its history and future plans. Teachers and current theme school parents also will be on a panel for a question and answer session.
Principal Ruth Anne Smith, other administrators and officials from the Newton County School System also are expected to be in attendance, and applications will be available.
Applications are accepted at the school from Feb. 1 through 29. They are available at the school or for download at the NCSS website, www.newtoncountyschools.org.
The school first opened in 2009 at the Fairview Elementary School site. This school year, it was moved to the Ficquett Elementary School site.
Sixth grade was added this school year, and seventh grade will be added next school year. Eighth grade is expected to be added the following year.
Eventually, the school is expected to move into the current Eastside High School facility, when a replacement high school is built, according to the school system's facility plan.
The theme school follows the NCSS curriculum, and students also follow a dress code and certain behavioral expectations. Parents must volunteer for at least 20 hours each school year.
The school also has a special emphasis on reading -- students must read every day throughout the entire year, including the summer.
Also next year, the school plans to offer intramural sports for students; students also will be allowed to participate in sports program at their zoned home schools if they wish.
Special programs like Spanish and band also are expected to be added next year, and yearbook and fitness club already are offered.
More than 750 students currently are enrolled in the school, and more than 900 are expected to be allowed next school year, including 105 in kindergarten, 110 each in first and second grades, 145 in third grade, 120 each in fourth and fifth grades, 110 in sixth grade and 90 in seventh grade.
A lottery will be held March 9 if more students apply than can be accommodated. Acceptance letters will be mailed March 16.
A waiting list will be made in the order the names were drawn in the lottery to fill any seats that become available between March 16 and the beginning of next school year, according to the NCTS PTO website.
Staff coorispondent Aimee Jones contributed to this article.

Elle and Mias Chapter 5Elle would have never guessed that Mias had such a compassionate counterpart. It would seem that Mias, after all, subsisted as the evil twin and Elias coexisted as the wholesome one, constantly shadowed and undermined by the heinous actions of his brother. He had convictions passions and they did not revolve around chasing skirt.It did not hurt that he was as devastatingly handsome as Mias, like a figure from an 1800s romance novel cover. He wore his hair long, neatly pulled back wearing a dark billowy shirt and nicely fitted pants that complimented his features. "I am not from Ærworuld," she confessed, one morning during their daily get-together. "Mias came to my world and kidnapped me. I do not know how he managed to go through the portal. But he did and he can, which I understand to be thought an impossible feat."Elias' mouth dropped open. "This is terrible news. No wonder he was able to recapture you, you could not escape... If I possessed the ability t
8: Mias Finds ElleElle rose slowly from the spot where she had been sitting for the past hour. She wasn't usually one to feel sorry for herself, but Elias' spiteful words, rough hands, and unwanted kisses had taken their toll on her. Yet in spite of his constant cruelty, Elle was amazed at how she had handled things thus far, drawing on an inner strength that she didn't know that she possessed.Drawing on that strength once more, Elle took in her surroundings in the hope that she would find something that could help her escape. After all, if what Elias had said about Mias was true, then she was in fact on her own. As she looked around the surprisingly large space of the cabin, hoping that she would spot something to aid in her escape plan, Elle held on to the hope that Elias had been lying. That seemed highly likely, given his behavior, but she wasn't going to pin her hopes on a possibility. As far as she was concerned, she was going to have to figure a way out of this situation herself.Elle inched her
2: Elle's EscapeMias stared at Elle's sleeping form beside him. She hadn't moved all nighthe knew because he hadn't moved all night either. He was still lying back against the headboard, watching her steady breathing and enjoying the rise and fall of her breasts beneath her lacy white bra. He had stripped her out of the gown she had been wearing, wanting her to be comfortable as she slept, confused as to why he cared about her comfort at all. His grin widened as her chest rose, deciding that caring about whether or not Elle was comfortable had to be the best damn idea he ever had.Sunlight poured through the open window, a slant of light cutting across the bed and Elle's creamy white legs. Mias adjusted himself on the bed, and Elle shifted slightly before going still once more.She would be awake soon, and Mias was suddenly aware that he had been lying on the bed in his clothes. He tried to smooth the wrinkles in his slacks and shirt, sighing with frustration when he realized not only was he a w
4: Mias, Elle, and...Abernos??"Stupid bloody magic!" Elle growled. She slammed the book on the table closed, dust floating up to her nose from the movement. She sneezed several times before leaning forward to rest her forehead against her palms, her frustration building.For the past three days she had tried, to no avail, to find a way to break through the protection spell that was keeping her trapped. On the first day she had sprinted towards the open front door, hoping that she could break through with brute force and determination. Mias had been leaning over the banister, looking down at her with amusement. The instant she made contact with the open doorway she felt the empty space contract outwards as it gave under the force of her weight, before she was launched backwards into the manor where she landed without grace on her backside. Mias had roared with laughter, which she responded to with a finger that she hoped was universally known.The second day was a day for experimenting. Elle decided to see if she co
5: Elias Finds ElleElle woke with a start. She opened her eyes slowly, unable to make out anything but blackness beyond the flicker of the candle which burned low on the table beside her. She could hear the creaking of floorboards near the window to her left, and she turned onto her side and stared wide eyed into the darkness.She tried to scream when she saw a form coming towards her out of the shadows, but only managed a small squeak. She shot up in bed and scooted back until she was pressed against the headboard, bringing her knees to her chest.When the figure became clearer thanks to the candlelight, Elle let out a shaky breath when she saw that it was only Mias."You scared the hell out of me," Elle breathed, pressing her hand against her chest.Mias tilted his head as he watched her, a sly smile spreading across his lips. His eyes dragged over her face and down her neck to where she had the blanket tugged up over her knees, before his gaze met hers once more.Elle shivered. He was looking at her a
10: Elle's RevengeElle ripped her arm free of the large sailor's grip as he hauled her up from the ladder and onto the deck. She nearly fell to the floor, feeling so detached and disoriented from the horror she had just witnessed that her whole body was numb.Mias is dead.She felt a sharp twisting in her chest at the very thought, and she wanted nothing more than to crumple to the floor and cry. She looked towards the island, only able to see the outline of the cliffs and the glimmer of waves as they drifted onto the shore. Elle wanted to hurl herself over the side of the ship, to swim back to Mias and hold him in her arms one last time. But she knew there would be no point in it, that all the wishing and crying, all the promises and kisses in the world would never bring him back. All she could do now was hope that Mias knew what she felt for him. That his love for her was matched by her love for him.She watched as Elias climbed up the last few steps of the ladder with a wide grin on his face,
7: Elle at SeaElias strode down the passageway, eager to see the look on Elle's face when she realized just how dire her situation had become. Something about seeing the look of helplessness on her face excited him, and he knew that it would work in his favor. After all, how could she continue to defy him if she had no choice but to obey him?Elias climbed the companionway and stepped into the bright morning sun. The familiar roar of the ocean filled his ears, and he sucked in a lungful of salty sea air. He smoothed the front of his dark shirt, tugging the sleeves at his wrists before adjusting his collar. He was never one to appear on deck unkempt, evident by the gleam of his boots and the seamless press of his black breeches. And he had to admit, he wanted to look presentable for his bride to be, for if he appeared to her in muddy boots and dusty clothes as he had the night before, what would she think of him?Elias glanced around the deck, and spotted Elle easily. She was leaning against the rail
11:Elle's Wedding Day"Miss! Miss!" Thomas cried.Elle opened her eyes with a groan to find Thomas leaning over her, his little hands on her shoulder as he tried to shake her awake."What time is it?" She croaked.Stretching, she turned onto her side and glanced at the porthole, frowning when she saw that it was still dark."It's just after dawn!" Thomas said, sitting beside her on the narrow bed.Elle sighed, tugging the thin sheet more tightly around her shoulder. She had made it a habit to sleep as late as she could, not because she was depressed, she assured herself, but because it meant less time spent anywhere near Elias, and more time spent devising a plan."Why on Earth are you waking me up so early?" Elle asked, just as a deafening BOOM rocked the ship.Elle shot up in the bed, grabbing Thomas protectively around the shoulders. "What the hell was that?" She shrieked.Thomas laughed. "It's alright Miss, just a signal shot to let Tearny know we intend to make port."Elle stood up and stretched

Sexual misconduct and violence on college campuses is a serious national problem from which Oxy is not exempt.
The entire College community continues to work to foster a culture that rejects sexual violence and educates community members about how best to prevent and respond to sexual assault on campus. We encourage everyone to participate in the important process of creating a safe, welcoming and respectful environment on campus.
Resources for care and support
- Hired a full-time survivor advocate, available 24/7 for confidential support. Confidential support also is available from counselors at Emmons Student Wellness Center and from ordained clergy in the Office for Religious & Spiritual Life.
- Formed the Oxy Assault Advocacy and Case Management Team to provide a comprehensive on-campus support system for survivors.
- Added a new 24-hour, seven-days-week telephone hotline.
- Doubled the staff of the College's Project SAFE, our student-staffed advocacy and education program.
- Created and distributed new brochures on how to report, available resources, rights and responsibilities of complainants and respondents, and an empowerment guide for survivors.
- Applied for and received a $300,000, three-year grant from the U.S. Department of Justice to improve on-campus training and better coordinate with off-campus partners, including the LAPD.
- Currently negotiating a memorandum of understanding with the LAPD to spell out, among other issues, how sexual assault cases will be handled.
Policies and Procedures
- Adopted a new interim sexual misconduct policy, which includes affirmative consent; use of the preponderance of evidence standard; increased protection for complainants through clearer definitions of prohibited conduct; merger of sexual harassment and misconduct policies for students, faculty & staff. The interim policy is now under review by the Title IX coordinator.
- Conducted a national search and hired a new full-time Title IX coordinator who reports directly to the president.
- Created a hearing coordinator position and hired an interim hearing coordinator.
- Supplemented our trained campus investigators with external investigators and adjudicators when appropriate.
- Developed and implemented formal office protocols for such things as complaint assignments to investigators and communications with participants in the process.
- Purchased new case management software for the Title IX office to improve recordkeeping and document management, and improve our ability to analyze trends and patterns.
- Created a Sexual Misconduct Advisory Board, made up of faculty, students and staff to conduct an ongoing review of policies and procedures.
- Conducted an independent audit of our Clery reporting process, and self-reported mistakes made in previous reports.
- Hired a full-time Clery Act administrator in the Office of Campus Safety.
- Retained two of the country's top experts, Gina Smith and Leslie Gomez, to conduct an independent review of Oxy's handling of sexual misconduct cases.
- Improved and made more visible the anonymous online reporting form that has been in place since 2009.
- As of April 2013, email campus alerts are issued when report of sexual misconduct is received that requires a timely warning.
Preventative Education and Training
- Expanded preventative education programs for all students: everyone is required to complete an online training course and review the sexual misconduct policy before being allowed to register in the fall.
- All first-years are required to participate in four hours of mandatory training at Orientation (doubling the amount of time spent on this issue).
- Continued preventative education throughout the academic year through mandatory sessions in residence halls and a speakers' series.
- Project SAFE and the Survivor Advocate provide training and educational programming to all Greek organizations, leaders of all student clubs, all coaches and athletes, and Residence Life and Orientation staff.
- Hired a full-time preventative education specialist to oversee Project SAFE's preventative education efforts.
- Regularly conduct Title IX training sessions for faculty, staff and students with the goal of educating everyone on campus.
- Hired students to translate training materials into Spanish.
Visibility and Outreach
- Plan to launch a campus climate survey during the 2014-15 academic year.
- Launched an expanded, more visible, and more user-friendly "Sexual Assault Resources & Support" site launched in April 2013.
- Provided email updates to campus community of every change to policy, progress made toward goals (the most recent in September 2014).
- Kept alumni and parents informed through regular updates in Occidental magazine and through email.
