The prosecution ended its rebuttal case against Jodi Arias with a bang Thursday, using testimony from the Medical Examiner to assert the defendant shot Travis Alexander AFTER stabbing him repeatedly.
Gruesome autopsy details, a tearful defendant, a bomb sniffing dog and yet another dismissed juror contributed to the highlights of the trial that has become a national curiosity.
After testifying earlier in the trial in January, Medical Examiner Dr. Kevin Horn returned to the stand to reiterate his opinion that Travis Alexander was not shot first, as his killer claimed, before he was stabbed 29 times.

It's a crucial point because Arias has maintained she shot her ex-boyfriend first, and did it in self defense after he flew into a rage. But shooting him in the head AFTER stabbing him 29 times and slitting his throat would not be consistent with her self defense claim. Arias faces the death penalty if convicted and premeditation — necessary for a first-degree murder conviction — will be easier for the jury to believe if the defendant's self-defense claim is disproven.
The shot to Alexander's head would "probably" have caused him to lose consciousness within seconds and take only a step or two before collapsing, Horn testified, while debating whether he was "incapacitated" or not after being hit with a .25 caliber bullet.
"Would Mr. Alexander have had the capacity after the first two or three seconds to get on all fours and begin to crawl away?" asked prosecutor Juan Martinez.

"No, I don't think so," replied Dr. Horn, explaining: "That is a purposeful action that requires normal brain function to be able to do that."
"If he was on his back, would he then be able to turn himself so he could be on his face, or the front portion of his body?" inquired Martinez.
"Not as a purposeful action but if he was having convulsions he may have ended up in that position, explaining that the stab wounds to his torso and neck could only have happened after the gun shot if he was in the midst of convulsions.

"Would he be able to get up and walk approximately five feet and stand at a sink and hover over it?" asked Martinez, as Travis' sister, Tanisha Sorenson hid her face in horror while hearing the extent of her brother's injuries.
"I don't believe so, no. It requires coordination of multiple muscles to be able to stand and walk. With a head injury and a brain injury, I don't think he is going to be able to do that."
As Tanisha couldn't even watch what unfolded in the Phoenix courtroom, 32-year-old Jodi again cried as details spilled regarding the horrific injuries that she inflicted on her former boyfriend on June 4, 2008.

Alexander also had defensive stab wounds, also an important point for the prosecution in knocking down the self-defense claim from Arias.
Under cross examination from defense attorney Jennifer Willmott, Dr. Horn admitted that he misspoke in his earlier testimony when he said the incapacitation may not have been immediate, according to Arizona Republic reporter Michael Kiefer, and explained that he was hindered in assessing damage to Alexander's brain because of decomposition.
He went on to reveal that Travis was still alive when his throat was cut because of blood loss that would have required a "beating heart," but told Willmott that he would not be able to hold his head up after receiving the deep gash.

Once Dr. Horn's testimony was concluded, the Maricopa County Courtroom had a surprise visit from a bomb-sniffing dog as a "routine" procedure that is speculated to be in response to the death threats recently made against Willmott, which included a voicemail promising that if Jodi gets off, "We will find you, we will kill you."
Thursday also saw the departure of Juror 8, a man known as "The Note Taker" for his contestant scribbling, who was dismissed by Judge Sherry Stephens, leaving a pool of nine men and six women out of which 12 will decide Jodi's fate.
The defense will call one additional witness next week, and closing arguments are expected on Thursday and Friday. The case will then finally go to the jury after four grueling months.

No. 24 Oklahoma State can't overcome slow start
WACO, Texas A sluggish start and one defensive letdown kept No. 24 Oklahoma State from continuing its recent dominance of Baylor.
Lache Seastrunk rushed for 178 yards, including diving in to complete a 76-yard touchdown run after cramping up, and Nick Florence passed for 296 yards to lead Baylor past the Cowboys 41-34 Saturday.
The Cowboys (7-5, 4-5 Big 12) fell behind 24-3 in the second quarter before rallying within a touchdown with 5:30 left in the game.
On the next play from scrimmage, Seastrunk broke free up the middle for his long scoring run. The sophomore running back cramped up about 25 yards short of the end zone before stumbling in just over the goal line.
"We gave up big plays because we weren't in the right position," Oklahoma State senior linebacker Alex Elkins said. "They capitalized. It's just going to happen."
Oklahoma State came in having won 15 of its last 16 over Baylor, including the last six by an average of 31.7 points per game.
Baylor linebacker Eddie Lackey returned an interception for a touchdown in the first quarter, and the Bears scored on their next two possessions to take a three-touchdown advantage.
"I know all the guys felt we could score in a quick fashion," Cowboys quarterback Clint Chelf said. "We felt that we could keep going. We just needed a couple of breaks and we did not get them."
J.W. Walsh's second rushing touchdown of the game capped an 88-yard drive and brought Oklahoma State within 34-27.
Seastrunk scored the game-sealing touchdown on Baylor's next drive.
The transfer from Oregon raced past three Cowboys defenders before he just barely made it into the end zone. Seastrunk remained on the ground for a couple of minutes before limping off the field.
Bears coach Art Briles said Seastrunk experienced leg cramps on his last carry of the game.
"We've been harping on him about finishing," Florence said. "For someone to cramp and pull up like that, that's inspiring. He's an outstanding player."
Baylor (7-5, 4-5) has won at least seven games in three straight seasons - the first time the Bears have done that since 1949-51.
The Bears won four of their final five games to become bowl eligible for the third straight season.
"The food is going to taste good for the next three weeks," Briles said. "The guys feel good about the way they finished the season."
Josh Stewart had 147 yards receiving and a touchdown and Joseph Randle added 139 rushing for Oklahoma State, who was coming off a 51-48 overtime loss last weekend to Oklahoma in the Bedlam rivalry.
Chelf threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to David Glidden to make it 41-34 with 1:16 left in the game.
Baylor recovered the ensuing onside kick and ran out the clock to secure its third straight victory.
Cowboys coach Mike Gundy insisted there were no lingering effects after the tough loss to the Sooners.
"I would hate to hang my hat on that," Gundy said. "I do not think there was a hangover. If there was, that was my fault because that is my responsibility."

Reducing Your Risk of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)/Heartburn
General Guidelines
- Avoid specific eating and drinking habits.
- Quit smoking.
- After eating, wait to lie down.
- After eating, wait to exercise.
- Don't wear tight clothes or belts.
- Maintain a healthy weight.
Avoid Specific Eating and Drinking Habits
To help manage your GERD symptoms, try to avoid eating large meals or eating too fast.
Other ways to manage GERD symptoms include:
Avoiding certain foods such as:
- High-fat foods
- Spicy foods
- Citrus fruits
- Tomato-based products
- Chocolate
- Mint
Avoiding certain beverages such as:
- Alcohol
- Caffeinated drinks
- Carbonated drinks
Quit Smoking
Smoking cigarettes weakens the lower esophageal sphincter. Stopping smoking can help reduce GERD symptoms.
After Eating, Wait to Lie Down
After eating meals, wait at least 2-3 hours before lying down. This may lessen reflux by giving the stomach time to empty.
After Eating, Wait to Exercise
Exercise or strenuous activity immediately after eating can cause stomach acid to reflux into the esophagus. Wait at least 2-3 hours after eating to exercise.
Don't Wear Tight Clothes or Belts
Wearing clothing or belts that are too tight can increase the reflux of stomach acid by increasing abdominal pressure. For the same reason, don't bend over or strain, especially soon after meals.

Dracula Introduction
In A Nutshell
Want more deets? We've also got a complete Online Course about Dracula, with three weeks worth of readings and activities to make sure you know your stuff.
Vampires: so last year.
So last century, even.
In 1897, Bram Stoker took central European folk tales and turned them into one of the most famous horror books of all time. But the CW isn't going to be speccing a script about this guy anytime soon—at least, not Dracula as Stoker wrote him. Stoker's Dracula isn't young and sparkly; he's creepy, old, and has a penchant for turning into bats and clouds of mists.
Creepy, old, and occasionally downright boring (just stop with the train schedules, Mina)—yes. But just like some vampire stories we could name coughVampireDiariescough, Dracula is a lot more interesting to talk about than it is to read. Just like today, vampires in 1897 stood in for a lot of contemporary fears and anxieties: the increasing globalization of London, the risks of sexual activity, or even the increasing presence of technology.
That's right: technology. Just as You've Got Mail hinges on the wacky new technology of email, Dracula hinges on telegraphs, typewriters, and phonographs—only with much more gruesome results.
Here's the quick version: Count Dracula leaves his native Transylvania (modern-day Romania, in southeastern Europe) to immigrate to England—presumably to feed on the "teeming millions" in the huge capital city of London.
"Invasion literature," or literature that had to do with monsters invading the British Empire (which, at that point, still covered a lot of the world beyond the British Isles), was ridiculously popular at the time. Authors like Rudyard Kipling, H. Rider Haggard, H.G. Wells, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle all wrote sensational adventure stories about fantastic creatures or threatening monsters from around the world.
At the time Stoker was writing, there weren't that many other vampire stories to go on. The one exception? John Polidori, the doctor of Romantic poetry, Byron, wrote a narrative about a vampire for the same ghost story competition in which Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein. Polidori's vampire could be considered a model for Dracula: he is suave and aristocratic, but monstrous and bloodthirsty beneath that smooth veneer.
Stoker didn't think of himself as a great artist; he was primarily a businessman. He managed the famous Lyceum Theatre in London and was good friends with a lot of the actors there. Stoker only wrote novels to pay the bills. Honestly, he'd probably be astonished at the lasting impact Dracula has had on popular culture. He wrote it in a piecemeal, haphazard way—a little here, a little there. At the time it came out in 1897, it was popular and well received, but hardly a blockbuster hit. It wasn't until later in the 20th century, when film versions of the novel started to appear, that the novel's popularity really skyrocketed and its impact on popular culture became clear.
Step aside, Bella Swan. There's a new (read: super old) chick-who-likes-bloodsuckers in town.
Why Should I Care?
Dracula might not be the first vampire book, but it's certainly the most influential – ever since it was written in 1897, film makers, novelists, and playwrights have been inspired by Stoker's vision of the vampire, and by his combination of superstition and tradition with modern technology and science. Pretty much every vampire book or movie in the twentieth century owes something to Stoker's novel, from Nosferatu, a silent German film made in 1922, to Blade (1998) to the Anne Rice Interview with the Vampire series. Even vampire Edward Cullen of the Twilight saga acknowledges the impact Dracula has had on our collective imagination, as he finds himself needing to re-educate his human girlfriend Bella such that she doesn't believe all of the vampire stereotypes that originated in Stoker's novel. In terms of popular culture, Dracula is everywhere, once you start looking. The "Count" on Sesame Street, for example, is modeled on Stoker's vampire. And do you like sugary cereals? Count Chocula is a shout-out to Dracula, too.
If monster books just aren't your thing or its pop cultural importance doesn't do it for you, there's still plenty more to Dracula. Stoker had lots to say about some of the most important political questions of his day. Many critics like to read Stoker's Dracula as being about the British fear that the people they had colonized and oppressed for so long would come to Britain to take revenge. Or you can read Dracula for what it says about the role of women – the most dangerous women in the novel are also the sexiest.
In short, Dracula is a cultural touchstone – it's got something in it to appeal to almost everybody, from gender politics to blood-sucking colonialism to sugar cereals. If you think you know a lot about vampire lore, give this book a shot – it's where it all began, and you're bound to be surprised.

Some stats for 1995 W SF (Becker-Agassi)
View Single Post
Join Date: Dec 2006

There were certainly mental toughness intangibles here, but in the tangible, concrete sense, I think the better grasscourt game won. I don't simply mean Becker's 22 aces, against Agassi's 4. It's also Agassi's volleys, which produced few winners. I look over my notes and I see that Becker got the only break of the third set by throwing up lobs that drew an error -- an overhead error as I recall.
Agassi essentially was in the zone and was playing great defense, but his offense was nothing remarkable; at least not against Becker's defense. Becker, on the other hand, had all those serves and volley winners, and on top of that he played strong defense. He had 17 ground stroke winners, and would have had more passing shots if Agassi had presented more of a target.
His ground strokes, in a way, gave him the edge in the match. Though he was not baselining with Agassi, he got his first break with those two strong baseline rallies that we mentioned. And the break in the third, he got by throwing up lobs. It took only one error (on grass that's often all it took), but Agassi made it -- at the net. That's where Andre showed no particular strength, however amazing his defense was.
McEnroe said that Becker played a smart match, mixing it up well, and by that he didn't mean that Boris was slowing down the pace; that was not Becker's style. But he was adventurous with the way he played points, because he had both offense and defense: big flat serves, topspin, slice approaches. He came in a lot, but not always on a predictable ball, because he could rally too. So he kept Agassi off balance and applied constant pressure.
And he made all his first serves in the tiebreaks -- big serves generally giving a player an advantage in tiebreaks, especially on fast surfaces.
I haven't seen their 95 USO semi since then, but if Agassi took both tiebreaks there, that means he played the big points better there. That's why I don't think the W win comes down to Becker's mental toughness; Agassi could be mentally superior himself, in other matches. I just don't think he had enough to defeat Becker's best grasscourt game; and I think he would have lost to Sampras anyway, though in a close match.

Halliburton Bought Oil Cleanup Company 8 Days Before Gulf BP Oil Spill
December 28th, 2010
LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson, among the most famous and beloved performers in pop music history, spent his final days in a sleep-deprived haze of medication and misery until finally succumbing to a fatal dose of potent drugs given to him by the private physician he had hired to act as his personal pharmaceutical dispensary, a jury decided on Monday.
Fans reacted to guilty verdict of Dr. Conrad Murray outside the courthouse.
The physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter nearly two and a half years after the star's shocking death at age 50. The verdict came after nearly 50 witnesses, 22 days of testimony and less than two days of deliberation by a jury of seven men and five women. The trial had focused primarily on whether Dr. Murray was guilty of abdicating his duty or of acting with reckless criminal negligence, directly causing his patient's death.
Dr. Murray now faces up to four years in prison and the loss of his medical license. Judge Michael Pastor denied a defense request for bail for Dr. Murray and ordered him handcuffed and taken into immediate custody in the courtroom.
Jackson, who had become a star as a child in Gary, Ind., singing with his siblings in the Jackson 5, grew into one of the best-known performers in the world, earning a fistful of citations in the Guinness Book of World Records, including for the best-selling album of all time, "Thriller."
Though increasingly eccentric in his later years, living much of the year in a secluded California estate he called Neverland, Jackson always maintained a fervent core of fans and, despite his lavish lifestyle and persistent money woes, always seemed just one comeback away from a return to the top.
Dr. Murray, a Houston cardiologist, was paid $150,000 a month to work as Jackson's personal physician as the singer rehearsed in Los Angeles for "This Is It," a series of 50 sold-out concerts in London that he needed to pay off hundreds of millions of dollars in mounting debts.
Testimony during the trial showed that Dr. Murray had stayed with Jackson at least six nights a week and was regularly asked — and sometimes begged — by the insomniac singer to give him drugs powerful enough to put him to sleep. Jackson, Dr. Murray told authorities, was especially eager to be administered propofol, a surgical anesthetic that put him to sleep when other powerful sedatives could not. Testimony indicated that propofol, in conjunction with other drugs in the singer's system, had played the key role in his death on June 25, 2009.
Prosecutors tried to paint Dr. Murray as a money-hungry physician who would do things no reputable doctor would do — including improperly and recklessly administering an anesthetic normally given only in a hospital. The full retinue of drugs given to Jackson while he was under Dr. Murray's care was so beyond normal practice, prosecutors said, that it amounted to a "pharmaceutical experiment."
For its part, the defense tried to portray Jackson as a man so desperate to make his comeback concerts a success that he was willing to take wild chances and grew terrified that he would not be able to perform to his own exacting standards without more rest and less stress.
"He tried to close his eyes, and nothing would work," Dr. Murray told investigators in 2009, saying that Mr. Jackson worried openly about not satisfying his fans. "He complained: 'I've got to sleep, Dr. Conrad. I have these rehearsals to perform.' "
The morning Jackson died, Dr. Conrad told investigators during a recording played in State Superior Court here, the singer told him, "Just make me sleep, it doesn't matter what happens."
When Jackson died he was in dire financial straits, with more than $400 million in debts, and his concerts in London were intended to raise enough money to keep creditors at bay and restart his career.
But since his death, Jackson's estate, managed by his former lawyer and a record executive with longtime ties to the Jackson family, has prospered, generating more than $310 million and paying off most of the singer's debts.
The estate has struck a number of lucrative deals to raise money, including a movie, video games, a new recording contract and two productions by Cirque du Soleil, the first of which, "The Immortal World Tour," opened in Montreal last month and is touring North America through next summer.

The small, obscure London town was covered in a blanket of darkness. Fog eased its way around the townhouses, weaving through the close cobblestoned streets, hugging the town in a cold, clammy blanket. The fog seeped outside the town, surrounding the rickety old church. It wound about the iron fence posts, coating the tall, steel gates with a layer of dew, the large padlock chilled.
The silence was only broken by the rustling of skirts. Out of nowhere, a young woman appeared at the wrought iron gates, slightly out of breath, ivory curls astray. Her strange, violet eyes took in the lock. Looking behind her once more, she wrapped her small hand around the lock, tugging.
It broke into pieces, falling off the gate.
White teeth gleaming in the moonlight, she slipped through the gates. She hastily walked up the gravel path, stopping in front of the church steps. Grimacing, she skirted around the church, weaving through the tombstones and crypts. She sleuthed from shadow to shadow, glancing behind her, until she found that place of solitude on an old stone bench beneath the weeping willows. Destroyed, mildew infested tombstones surrounded the bench, damaged statues weeping around her.
Her intense vision stares all the way back towards the entrance. She can see his silhouette; he pauses at the gate, looking at the shattered lock, and slowly creeps his way into the cemetery. Her sensitive hearing picks up his words.
"Eleanor, please... Eleanor, where are you?!"
She waits for a bit, watching his shape come closer, before she gets up and darts towards a crypt-the crypt. She senses him behind her as she gracefully descends the round staircase, submerging herself into the darkness of the cold chamber bellow.
She knew that he saw her purple skirts swishing around the corner, as she retreated into the darkness. A daughter of the shadows, she slowly backs into them, her small kid shoes barely making a sound.
He appears, then, the fine young duke. Stopping abruptly at the stairs, he looks around, hazel eyes wide with fear.
"Eleanor?" he shouts out, timidly. Slowly, he ambles into the dim crypt, squinting through the shadows. "Please, we need to talk."
Eleanor glided through the shadows, circling the man. He wanted to talk, yet she could see the wooden object in his hand, the outline of his silver rosary underneath his white cravat.
"Why?" she uttered quietly, her voice naught but a sharp whisper, echoing around the silent stone walls.
"You're...one of them."
"One of what?"
His face went several shades paler. She could see the blood draining out of his face.
"Don not make me say it, Eleanor."
"Say what, Timothy?"
"You know what you are. Everyone knows what you are. Everyone knew but me."
He looked around. He could hear the rustle of her skirts as she waltzed around him, dancing with the dark. The resounding silence bothered him. Swallowing his anger, resentment, and fear, he kept circling the ancient tombs, turning into an antechamber, bare but an empty stone table in the middle.
"Eleanor. Let us work this out."
There is no escape now, Eleanor, she told herself, and, stepping out of the shadows, appeared behind him.
"Work what out, Timothy."
Gasping, he whirled about, the wooden object falling out of his hands as he grabbed the stone table behind him, in order to balance himself. Eleanor raised an elegant eyebrow. Standing up straight, he looked down on her, emitting the power his title of Duke gave him.
"Just tell me now. It is true, isn't it? You are one of those creatures of darkness. A parasite. A-" he pauses, breathing deeply, uttering the word so quietly that no human could have heard it, "-vampire."
She looks down at her elegantly folded hands, his ring sparkling on her finger.
"Yes." There was no denying it.
He let out a whoosh of breath, hazel eyes turning stony; he seemed to be in control-but Eleanor could sense his fear.
"After all these years. Our courtship, our love-and you neglected to tell be that you were, in fact, one of those foul, blood sucking leeches that the ton has been gossiping about?"
"I thought you didn't listen to the ton, Timothy."
"Normally I wouldn't; but when the ton keeps talking about the woman you intend to take as a wife, spreading foul lies and rumours that she is some kind of-of demoness hell bent on killing us all? Sometimes, you listen, if anything to dissuade the rumours and be rid of the distaste every member of fashionable society speaks and make life easier for your intended. Instead of stopping the rumours though, what do I find? That each and every eyewitness report, each superstition each foul, cruel lie is actually the truth?!"
As he spoke, the Duke had walked towards Eleanor, moving her closer and closer to the corner. Despite having every advantage over him, Eleanor was petrified.
"Then, there are the recent murders to consider. Each victim, they said, was found with two indents in their necks, bite marks for Christ's sake, shriveled up and pale, all the blood gone from their bodies. Each and every one of these foul deeds happening at the same time that you, coincidently, 'went to bed'. You did those deeds, didn't you?"
She pauses, looking up at him. "It's my nature, I have to. But it wasn't I who finished them off-."
"They were my people. My responsibility. To think that their future duchess would do such a disgusting thing!"
He had cornered her, pinned her to the wall.
"The worst part of all this, Eleanor? The worst part is that you are a monster. A monster that I am in love with. You betrayed me."
"Timothy, please, I never betrayed you-"
"Did you even ever love me?!"
She gasped, her violet eyes flashing, glaring at him. "How dare you accuse me of my feelings for you!"
"How dare I? Your kind have no heart, no feelings; how dare you."
"I have feelings!" she snapped, fury blazing in her eyes. The silence stretched on, the only sound that of their breathing. Eleanor took a deep breath in, glaring at her lover.
"And so after the ton kept pressuring you, you decided to follow me tonight, didn't you?"
"Of course. I needed to see for myself." He paused, some of the anger diminishing from his eyes, fear and hurt taking precedence. "I just cannot comprehend this, Eleanor, I love you. How could someone who holds my heart be such a creature as you are?"
"Bad luck," she replied, quietly.
"What do you mean?"
"I won't get into my life story."
"How old are you?"
She looked at him, lips pressed together tightly, "I won't tell you."
He leans his head on her forehead, eyes closed tight, composing himself. He looked into her eyes, the odd purple irises he loved so much staring back at him. Now he knew why they were like that.
"Because fate is cruel, Timothy."
He grimaces; searching her eyes for that warmth he knew was there, somewhere. All he found was cold, the warmth gone-though he could see the sadness in her eyes. The arms that were pressed against the wall, on either side of her head, left the stony surface, as the duke turned towards the table. She could hear his sharp intake of breath, as he leaned against the stone structure. Eleanor made her way towards him, her cool hands on his shoulder, squeezing gently.
He places his hand over hers, squeezing, before he shrugs her off, and kneels down to the floor.
"Eleanor, I have a duty to my people. To my family. You know this is not going to end well, for either of us."
Eleanor wrapped her arms around his chest, embracing him from behind. "It doesn't have to end terribly, Timothy."
Suddenly, a searing pain spread through the palm of her hand. Hissing, she jumped back, tightly holding her wrist and looking at her irritated palm. Her pupils dilated, and long, elegant fangs extended. She looked, horror stricken at Timothy, who had staggered back a few feet, clenching the stake tightly in his hand.
"Your rosary," she offered as a means of explanation. She hissed, squeezing her hand.
"Silver burns you?"
Another hiss in reply. Eleanor had backed up against the wall, back to the corner she had been trapped in only moments before. Everything was clearer now. Her vision was flawless, her sense of smell impeccable. The obvious stench of earth mixed in with the decaying bodies around them assaulted her nose. She smelt the ashes of those who had been cremated long ago, albeit faintly. She could see the tiny bugs crawling through the cracks, the bats flying in the high ceiling.
What she saw most of was Timothy's neck. And the vein that pulsed underneath, the rush of blood very loud to her inhumane ears.
"My God," Timothy said, blessing himself, "you truly are a wretched demoness. A cursed creature."
"Please, don't come any closer," she said, trying to melt into the wall. Timothy had picked up the wooden stake, holding it like he did his sword. The stake was long, shiny and heavy, elegantly tipped into a sharp point. She could smell the varnish and cedar as Timothy walked closer.
"I am terribly sorry, Eleanor, but I need to keep everyone safe."
She eyed him fearfully as he raised the stake, almost nose to nose with her, and thrust it forwards. She dodged, moving slightly to the side; the cedar stake had missed her heart, but grazed her arm. She put her hand over the wound, instantly weakened, her strong skin shriveling where she had been hit. Tears stung her eyes, slowly falling down her face. She looked at her lover.
"Please, don't, Timothy. Please."
She could see how tense he was, feel his conflicted emotions radiating off of him in torrents.
"I must. Any last words?"
He was right beside her, trapping her arms against the wall. She could easily break free, but instead she stood, shocked, in her place. Her instincts were taking over; it was time she ended it all.
"Do you not realize where we are, Timothy?"
He briefly gazed around, fully taking in the crypt. It's large pillars and grand, spacious chambers told of the wealth the family of this crypt had attributed over the years. He looked, really looked, at the stone table in the middle, as if seeing it for the first time.
"This isn't just any crypt, Timothy."
"No. It's my family crypt. The crypt of the Dukes of Roseworth."
"You showed it to me, after our engagement."
"I did. And this specific room as well. The ducal chambers, where all of my previous title holders are buried. My great grandfather, my grandfather, and my father, as well. And that stone table. That is meant for me, when I pass away as well. Well Eleanor, isn't this fitting, hmm? The duke's bride-to-be dying in the family crypt."
He lunged once more, the smell of his blood fogging Eleanor's mind. "Timothy, wait, please!"
It was gently said, and Timothy paused, searching the depth of her violet irises. He looked at her quizzically. "Why is it that even now, knowing what you are, I can't simply stop listening to you? Well, out with it, Eleanor."
"Before you...you...you stab me to death with that wretched piece of wood, just give me one last kiss."
He looked at her, shocked, his arms going slack.
"Just, one last kiss. Please, darling."
Timidly at first, he bent his face down, his warm lips pressing against her cold ones, her visible fangs lightly scratching his tender flesh. The kiss deepened, the fiery passion they shared unleashed, full force. Slowly, Eleanor made her way down his face, kissing his neck, gently nipping and licking.
She reached that vein; it was pulsing beneath her lips, the sweet smell of his blood assaulting her nose.
She bit down.
Timothy screamed, as the pain from her bite scorched his whole body. He watched as his blood stained her pale face. She had a feral and unearthly demonic beauty to her, at that moment. He could feel the blood slowly draining out of him. Raising his arm to thrust the stake into her heart, his arm felt...heavy; with a loud clank, the stake fell to the floor.
He felt her fangs deep within his neck. His vision was going blurry, the whole room spinning, and he fell, into the pool of his own blood.
She knelt down with him, carefully holding his weight as he dropped, and lifted him, carrying his still body to the stone table. The blood pools over his clothing, splattering the table. She looks at his face, his hazel eyes slowly diminishing, questioning her. She bends down, her lips over his ear.
"How fitting that the duke of Rosewood should meet his death in the family tomb."
His breathing is choppy; his body twitching. He looks at her pale face; she is almost angelic, like a statue outside. The red stains her lips, dripping down her teeth-those two, sharp fangs.
She kneels at the stone table, her face neutral; yet he could see tears-tears?-falling down her cheeks.
"I did love you, Timothy."
He closed his eyes, dead.
"I always will."
A/N- This was an entry for a horror romance contest on dA. Elanor is actually a character we'll be seeing at a later date (much later, if I ever finish my stories I have planned out at the moment at all). She is, in fact, a vampire. No, not the sparkly kind-a type of vampire that is Dracula crossed with Night World Vamps with elements from another person's ideas and some of my own modifications I've heard over the years.
Drop me a line, guys. Let me know what you think :)

Job Losses Set Back Newsroom Diversity Initiatives
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080723/UNITYLOGO)
The American Society of News Editors annual newsroom census, released Thursday, revealed that America's newsrooms became less diverse in 2008 from the year before. The percentage of journalists of color in the nation's newsrooms dropped from 13.5% in 2007 to 13.4% in 2008. The percentage of journalists of color in supervisory positions also declined, from 11.4% in 2007 to 11.2% in 2008 despite UNITY-led efforts to influence minority retention rates in newsroom management.
The biggest losers were blacks and Asians, who saw a 13.6% and a 13.4% decline in newsroom employment respectively, compared to a decline by 11.3% overall.
"Industry layoffs affect people of color disproportionately and destroy the gains we have made during past years," said
"It is disheartening that the vision articulated by ASNE is still such a distant goal after years of benchmarks, committees and commitments. We appreciate ASNE's continued diligence in reporting these results annually and urge them to partner with us on concrete steps to reduce the enormous gap between the reality and the vision. We need to act now," Olmeda said.
UNITY is inviting industry organizations, including ASNE, to a summit this summer to address specific and realistic recommendations that can help newsrooms achieve their diversity goals.
About UNITY: Journalists of Color

UNITY, representing more than 10,000 journalists of color, is comprised of four national associations: Asian American Journalists Association, National Association of Black Journalists, National Association of Hispanic Journalists, and the Native American Journalists Association.

How to get to the United Backpackers Hostel?
The port:
From the terminals A, B and C just walk straight until you reach Mere pst (quite a big road, so you'll notice it easily). Turn left and walk about 200 meters until you reach the crossing with the Ahtri street. Walk straight on until you see the bus parking area and right after that a big open parking lot. On the parking lot you will see the Park Inn Hotel and right behind it is our United Backpackers Hostel. This should take you in total about 15 minutes.
From terminal D, when you exit turn left and walk straight until you reach Ahtri street (you should be right next to the Nordic shopping centre, with WTCT right in front of you). Cross the street and turn left. Walk until you notice a big open parking lot (about 20 meters). There you'll see Park Inn Hotel and right behind it is our United Backpackers Hostel. This should take you in total about 10 minutes.
The airport:
Take the number 2 bus from the airport to the Laikmaa stop (6th stop). Walk along Laikmaa street to your left until you reach Narva mnt (on the right hand side will be Tallink Hotel, left hand side the Viru shopping center, right in front Coca Cola Plaza Cinema). Cross the street and turn right. Walk straight for about 150 meters, where you'll see Sampo bank building. Turn left before the bank and then left again straight after that. Our hostel is right there! The bus ride will take you about 10 minutes and the walk another 5-10 minutes.
The central bus station:
When you exit the bus station walk straight ahead for about 50 meters until you reach the tram stop. Take whichever tram arrives first heading to the left. The numbers are either 2 (Ülemiste-Kopli) or 4 (Ülemiste-Tondi). Exit at the Hobujaama stop (the 3rd stop). Cross the road to the Foorum center side and continue your walk to the right.

The Mora County government is in a familiar position -- without a county manager.
John Garcia resigned after four months in that job, a day after the Sept. 8 meeting of the Mora County Commission.
He said he and the commission had a difference in opinions and management styles.
"Maybe they weren't happy; maybe I wasn't happy," he said this week.
Garcia, a Mora County resident for the last decade, said he didn't want to be negative about his departure, saying "there isn't anything negative."
In making it to two championship games and one of the best records in Class 3A, Robertson has played some riveting volleyball this season. But the decisive fifth set Tuesday night against 4A power Los Alamos may have been the most exciting finish to date.
Robertson and West Las Vegas cross country teams will be showcased at home for the only time this regular season on Saturday, when the Meadow City Cross Country Jam takes place in town.
The meet begins at 9 a.m. at the course, with RHS the official host.
Freshman Brian Maestas, who paced the Cardinal boys in Taos a couple weeks back, is among the early leaders on the guys' side.
West Las Vegas has had depth issues on the boys' side, but Jordan Lopez is another leader, fresh off a fifth-place finish (17:40) at West Mesa's meet.
If you're the one whose life or property is saved, it is a big deal. But there are those who work in jobs where saving life, limb and an occasional cat stranded in a tree is pretty much normal and routine duty.
Since it's their job to look out for the welfare and well-being of their community, Las Vegas firefighters were wondering what all the fuss was about after administering life- saving CPR to a heart attack victim.
Insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, hospitals and other medical interest groups such as Blue Cross and Blue Shield, New York Life Insurance, Schering-Plough, and Amegen stand to make billions of dollars if health care reform legislation is stopped or public option is omitted from the legislation. Some of these corporations have contributed millions of dollars to several key politicians in key committees in return for political favors. To name a few key politicians that have received sizable political donations: Sen.
Three letters — t -a -g-, and a myriad of meanings. Language is so fascinating; if one allows him/herself to think about it — randomly or rationally, the result is often overwhelming.
For some reason, the word "tag" crossed my mind as I drove in to town to do my daily chores — to check the mail, pick up a thing or two at the grocery store, check in at the Optic for the latest developments. Before I realized, tag became an obsession and, like a brain worm, kept coming back to haunt me.
Panhandling used to be the exception; now it's epidemic. Sure, we all get used to seeing the occasional person holding up a building, or at a traffic light, holding up a cardboard sign containing a plea and a blessing. But it seems to have become big business.
On behalf of the Las Vegas Children's Dance Theater, a mil gracias to the following individuals who donated artworks, services and other items of value for our successful silent auction at our recent performance at Ilfeld Auditorium: Sandi Ault, Rebecca Bourbon, Tito Chávez, Louise Cordova, Steve Ediger, Ray Finck (Ray's Woodworks), Percyne Gardner, Cristina Gonzales, Andrea Gottschalk (Unikat Fine Jewelry), Susan Hayes, Vince and Vicki Howell, Susan Livermore, Caetano Mendoza, Mary Miller, Julianne Salman, Karen Spitzer, Sharon Seto, Christopher Thomson, Susan West and M
The city's billing department has lacked good internal controls — something on which everyone involved seems to agree.
According to a recent audit, nearly 90 percent of transactions in the billing office come without all of the required documentation. Out of 100 receipts, the auditors couldn't match 57 of them to corresponding deposit slips. Twenty-three of the receipts involved cash, but auditors stated that they couldn't verify if any of them were ever deposited.
Robertson High School homecoming features a blast from the past, with the 2009 theme, "Breaking the Laws of Time." Students are spending the week dressing in any costume that has to do with time travel.
Student council President Cody Ross Romero said, "Individual classrooms decorated their hallways in a timeline, from prehistoric all the way to futuristic. So it's pretty cool."
Romero said there will also be a bonfire.

Kurt Waldheim
Kurt Waldheim (kŏŏrt vält´hīm), 1918–2007, Austrian diplomat, secretary-general of the United Nations (1972–81) and president of Austria (1986–92). He entered diplomatic service after World War II, serving in France and Canada. When Austria entered the United Nations in 1958, Waldheim was a member of its delegation. Austria's permanent representative to the United Nations (1964–68), he later served (1968–70) as Austria's foreign minister and lost (1971) an election for the Austrian presidency.
Elected to a five-year term as UN secretary-general in Dec., 1971, Waldheim attempted, with little success, to end the Iran-Iraq war and the China-Vietnam war and to gain the release of American hostages in Iran. He was reelected in 1976 despite Third World opposition, but was blocked from a third term by a Chinese veto in 1981. He was succeeded as secretary-general by Javier Pérez de Cuéllar.
In 1986 he was elected president of Austria, despite the scandal caused by the revelation that he had been an officer in a German army unit that committed atrocities in Yugoslavia during World War II. He consistently denied any knowledge of the atrocities, and an international investigation cleared him of complicity. Nonetheless, many felt he must have known more than he revealed, and the allegations overshadowed his diplomatic and political legacy. His tenure as president was marked by international isolation, and he did not run in 1992.
See his memoir (1986) and autobiography (1999).

Continental Drifters
When Nuccio and Ganucheau decided to move back to New Orleans, it was decided that the Continental Drifters would continue on, with various members flying cross-country to attend gigs; when that idea proved too costly, Jacobs, Holsapple and Cowsill all relocated to the Big Easy as well, and although Eaton eventually quit the group, Peterson ultimately followed to Louisiana too. Ganucheau soon exited, and guitarist Robert Maché was recruited as his replacement; this lineup recorded the Drifters' self-titled 1994 debut LP, which earned significant critical acclaim. After's Nuccio departure, new drummer Russ Broussard signed on; by 1997 the Drifters had yet to land a major label contract, so they recorded the single "Christopher Columbus Transcontinental Highway" for the tiny Black Dog label; the full-length Vermilion followed in mid-1998. Holsapple and Cowsill ended their romantic partnership in 2000 when they divorced, however they continued to work together in the band. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Of Interest: Crater rays, which are often present around fresh craters, are numerous in this image. Both Bartok crater (crater with prominent central peak in the southeast) and Schoenberg crater (north of Bartok) have visible crater rays, as do a number of unnamed craters in this image. In the southwestern-most corner of this scene is a section of a ray from Basho crater, located approximately 36 degrees longitude away from Bartok crater (one tenth of the planet in distance).
This image was acquired as part of MDIS's color base map. The color base map is composed of WAC images taken through eight different narrow-band color filters and will cover more than 90% of Mercury's surface with an average resolution of 1 kilometer/pixel (0.6 miles/pixel). The highest-quality color images are obtained for Mercury's surface when both the spacecraft and the Sun are overhead, so these images typically are taken with viewing conditions of low incidence and emission angles.
The MESSENGER spacecraft is the first ever to orbit the planet Mercury, and the spacecraft's seven scientific instruments and radio science investigation are unraveling the history and evolution of the Solar System's innermost planet. Visit the Why Mercury? section of this website to learn more about the key science questions that the MESSENGER mission is addressing. During the one-year primary mission, MDIS is scheduled to acquire more than 75,000 images in support of MESSENGER's science goals.

Property Details
House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6)
Whether you are looking for a peaceful mountain getaway or trying to find lodging for your group near Yosemite National Park, Sunset Roost is the perfect choice! The Sunset Roost offers quiet solitude in a beautiful foothill setting.
The Sunset Roost is a three bedroom, two-bath manufactured home that has been fully renovated inside and out. It is tastefully decorated throughout. Sunset Roost is designed for adults as a non-smoking property. Artwork from local artists adorns every room and spills into the Outdoor Living Room and gardens. And the sunset view is what you will always remember!
An open floor plan invites interaction throughout the living area. The large peninsula counter separates the kitchen from the dining area and provides plenty of prep space for creating meals or picnic lunches to take into Yosemite. It's also a great place for breakfast before you head out for the day. This opens into the living room, which truly is a room with a view! A leather sofa and love seat face one another and look out over the deck towards the Merced River Canyon. The futon day-bed is the perfect place to lounge and enjoy the view (it is also a double bed).
Each of the three bedrooms has a character of its own. The master bedroom is outfitted with a king sized pillowtop bed with a down comforter. Artwork in the master bedroom and bath is relationship inspired; perfect for romantic evenings. There is a large bathtub and separate shower in the master bath, as well as double sinks.
The second and third bedrooms are located on the opposite end of the house adjacent to the second bathroom. Both have queen size beds with down comforters. The Wildflower Room has a tall sleigh bed and colorful photography from the surrounding foothills and high country. The Half Dome Room has a low platform bed to allow full view from its second (west facing) window. Local art depicting Yosemite's most recognizable icon adorns the walls.
Enter the Outdoor Living Room through either of the glass doors onto the deck. Defined mostly by the 800 square foot redwood deck and hot tub, you will find yourself spending considerable quality time out here. Outdoor meals are wonderful with the evening breeze and unobstructed sunset views. The main table seats six and a small bistro table seats two more. Cook outside on the propane BBQ while you relax on a pair of chaise lounges.
It is a bit hard to say where the Outdoor Living Room ends and the yard begins. A lush green lawn invites you to spend your afternoon in the shade of the pines relaxing in the hammock. The gardens are filled with flowers, herbs, and native plants which keep the birds, bees and butterflies happy. There are walking trails on-site that wander down the "tunnel trail" through manzanita, oak, and pine forests before looping back around through oak savanna and up to the top—the Roost. Wildlife is abundant at The Roost. You may see deer, birds, fox, turkey, peacocks, squirrels, raccoons, and bats.
The Sunset Roost offers all the comforts of home. Whether your idea of vacationing involves cooking gourmet meals or take-n-bake pizza, the full amenity kitchen has everything you will need. The home theater system includes a high quality Onkyo 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound receiver, DVD player, CD player, and satellite TV. Wireless DSL is provided for those who can't go without their laptop. Of course there are plenty of pillows and blankets to keep you comfortable, and the large washer and dryer will keep your clothes clean if you're on an extended holiday.
The Sunset Roost is conveniently located in the community of Midpines, California along the Highway 140 corridor. It is a 25-mile drive to the Yosemite National Park boundary along the "all weather highway" which follows the Wild and Scenic Merced River (37 miles to Yosemite Village). Heading the other direction, you will find the gold rush town of Mariposa 10 miles to the West. Merced is 45 miles, and the Fresno airport is a 90-minute drive. The Merced River Recreation Area (Briceburg) is less than 7 miles away.
There is plenty to do in the area. Most visitors will go into Yosemite, but some, who seek solitude, will be quite satisfied to avoid the crowds. The historic town of Mariposa offers shops, restaurants, a film cinema, groceries, gas and supplies. Outdoor recreation abounds! Whitewater Rafting and kayaking are excellent in the spring. Birding, hiking, fishing, swimming, sunbathing, mountain biking, and gold panning are popular along the Merced River and in The Park. Yosemite is a Mecca for rock climbers from around the world! There is something for everyone to do while staying at the Sunset Roost, even if you never leave the property—remember that hammock and the Outdoor Living Room?
We, the owners of the Sunset Roost, have lived here since 2000 and have explored much of the region. We can help you plan your visit and will even clue you in to our secret spots and favorite hikes (if you promise to respect the land and leave no trace).
So come on up to the Sunset Roost for your next vacation and let us help you make the most of your visit!

MoRuf - Tangerine/her.
Artist: MoRuf
Producer: Devonne Harris
Album: Shades.Of.Moo
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 3 votes )
If you're a lover of smooth, headphone-ready grooves and fresh fruit, consider this your new theme song. Part of the East Coast buzzmaker's Shades.Of.Moo mixtape, which dropped digitally last fall, new single Tangerine/her. finds MoRuf paying sung and flowed tribute to a woman who's every bit as zestful and refreshing as the titular member of the citrus family. Devonne Harris mans the mixing boards, serving up a relaxing, sampled beat that somehow manages to get even mellower at the cut's halfway point. Anthony Blue Jr. directs the vibrant official visuals.

I didnt intend for the BETTER part to be applied. A ride is a ride. All areas of NJ are different, and trails are all different, especially when it comes to bike size.
I myself, dont ride a big bike, therefore tight single track doesn't bother me.
I plan on attending many of the dual sport rides listed above.
I was simply stating that due to the abundunce of dual sport events taking place in the fall, having time to do the TNJT in its entirety would be difficult.
As far as participating in this years TNJT, my schedule changed at work, and I had to work Sunday AM. Also, I sent you a PM which you didnt reply, and also posted on here asking where everyone was staying so I could meet up somewhere in the morning (Sunday) to do the last day's ride. I even rode a lot of Sunday's trail, and it looked untouched.
And even though I dont have a GPS, the trails, roads used in Sunday's ride are pretty much chisled in my brain, I know them all very well. Also, I was going to be doing Sunday with my friend, who does have a GPS, so I could just follow him.
Regardless, Im not trying to start trouble or problems, but I did send the PM requesting the updated route map, and posted in the thread, with out any reply.

Rajon Rondo has played a lot of minutes. That's probably because, as usual, there isn't a reliable option behind him to run the Celtics offense. We knew going into this season that Rondo would play a lot of minutes. But there have been way too many instances of Rondo slacking off. The most egregious examples come from the Milwaukee game, where a lot of guys were coasting on the front-end of a back-to-back. Jay, our the Jedi Master of our video department, put together a little compilation of the Celtics horrid pick-and-roll defense from that game. Here's a video with two of Rondo's worst moments. Rondo lazily trails Brandon Jennings in the first play off the top, forcing KG to step out on him. Then, Rondo just sort of hangs around, never gets back into any sort of defensive position, nor does he rush to pick up KG's man. At :30, Rondo ends up sort of getting screened by own guy, Jared Sullinger, but he makes no effort to get between Jennings and the basket, leading to an easy...

If upgrading your PC is out of the question, you still have plenty of options for boosting its performance. Here are some more suggestions that are worth a try.
Kill splash screens. Splash screens don't bog down your computer per se, but they do insert a speed bump into your schedule whenever you launch an application, and that extra time can add up. You can turn off many splash screens in program settings.
Scrub startup apps. In all likelihood, an astonishing number of applications in your PC load at startup without your knowledge. Take a look at what's in your startup queue by typing msconfig in the Start menu Search box. Click the Startup tab and you'll find a list of everything that loads during bootup; it probably includes a number of programs such as QuickTime and anything made by Adobe. Clear the box next to each program you don't want your PC to load at startup.
Soluto is a free tool that performs the same operation on a crowd-source basis. If you're unsure what some of the applications in the msconfig display are, Soluto can probably tell you.
It also reports exactly how much time each one costs you during startup. The catch is that Soluto itself will slow you down by a few seconds, so install it only if you know your system has a lot of stuff loading at startup that you can safely get rid of.
Turn off search indexing. The ability to search your PC at Google-like speeds is one of Windows 7's greatest strengths. But no matter how orderly you keep your business, indexing will slow you down.
To change the indexing settings, type services in the Start menu Search bar. Scroll down to and right-click Windows Search in the window that appears, then choose Properties. Change the 'Startup type' to Disabled, then click Ok.
Turn off Aero. Windows' translucent windows and variable backgrounds look pretty, but such effects can considerably slow your system. To turn them off, open the Personalization Control Panel and scroll down to 'Basic and High Contrast Themes'. The Windows 7 Basic theme is still attractive but uses less graphics-rendering power.
If you want to make more granular tweaks, open the 'Performance Information and Tools' Control Panel and click 'Adjust visual effects' in the left-hand pane. Here you'll find specific settings that you can adjust for greater speed; turn them off by clicking the 'Adjust for best performance' button and then clicking Ok.
Delete the Peek. Aero Peek and Aero Snap consume a relatively small amount of system resources, but disabling Aero Snap will save you time by eliminating accidental snaps that you have to undo manually.
To access these features, type ease in the Start menu Search bar and choose 'Ease of Access Center'. At the bottom of the screen, click 'Make it easier to focus on tasks'. Select the option to 'Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen.' Also consider ticking the box next to 'Turn off all unnecessary animations (when possible)'.
To turn off Aero Peek, right-click the Taskbar and select Properties. Deselect 'Use Aero Peek to preview the desktop'.
Kill compression. If your hard drive is suitably large, you have no reason to compress folders on it that you regularly use. Decompressing files on the fly only slows your access to them.
To uncompress a compressed folder without third-party compression software installed, right-click the folder and choose 'Extract all'. Follow the prompts to choose a destination for the uncompressed files; then delete the original, compressed folder.
Go thumbnail-free. Trying to view thumbnail images in a folder that holds several hundred images usually causes Windows to choke. To disable the thumbnail option, open Windows Explorer and click Tools, Folder Options. Click the View tab and select 'Always show icons, never thumbnails'.
Consider a Registry cleaner. Registry cleaners are regarded as saviours by their supporters and snake oil by their detractors. We'll add to the argument only that Registry cleaners may be of value to some users, and that we've witnessed a thorough Registry scrubbing revitalise a very old computer, at least to some extent. (Of course, following the other tips in this feature also helps.)
Registry cleaners worth a try include CCleaner, PC Tools Registry Mechanic (£30 per year) and Iolo System Mechanic (£24), but note that impressive results are not guaranteed.

simply removed old motor and replaced new. I'm over 82 and it was hard to get down and up to floor level!! One thing was a little puzeling -that was to insert the right screws which had a nitch in the end of the threds to keep it from loosening- I thought I was spoiling the threds cause I had to use a little pressure to start the screws and thought I had the wrong screws--they had sent several sets of them for different name brands- but II got it and everything seems to be allright - Could you tell me if I could purchase a replacement compressor and some refrigerent -the new kind. thank you, George Erlandson Only if my comp. goes out!!!
