Would You Wear Dark Lipstick in the Summer?
Do You Wear Dark Lips in Summer?
by Beauty
Like us on Facebook
Seeing Megan Fox wearing this deep merlot lip at Comic-Con the other day got me thinking: would you ever wear dark lips in summer? Dark shades, especially wine and berry hues, are such an cold-weather thing for me that seeing them on people during the warm months is quite a surprise. Do you reserve dark hues for cold weather, or is color a seasonless thing for you?

No... as much as I love wine and cranberry-red lipsticks, they just seem way too strong/clashing for summer, somehow. I'll wear them like crazy in autumn and winter, though.

Happy feet follow the beat
Families enjoy chance to learn about culture
The Silva family kicked off their shoes and danced to the music of Los Arias on a small bit of grass unoccupied by the hundreds of people who gathered Sunday at Heritage Park for the fifth annual Budweiser KSAB Hispanic Heritage Festival.
Six-year-old Nori dipped her sister, Aracely, 4, low as Samantha, 10, spun in circles with her little brother, Domingo, 7 months.
Only minutes after Ballet Folklorico performed, Aracely begged her parents to let her learn the folklorico dance.
It was the first time the Silva family, who recently moved to the area from Michigan, attended the festival -- which featured eight acts and was expected to draw a crowd of about 5,000 people, said Dan Peña, program director for KSAB.
"They need to know more about their history," said the children's father, Sam Silva. Teaching his children about their Hispanic culture was a main reason Arnold Coronado and his family visited the festival.
"This brings the people and family together," Coronado said. "This gives us a chance to mingle together and enjoy the culture and Hispanic music."

I'd like to talk a bit about submissions.
Because I've had a very stressful and involved week of cataloging, catching up with, and responding to every single submission Open Letter has received since essentially July of last year, I'm a little on the edge right now when it comes to submitters repeatedly asking about their translation samples. And by on edge I mean I had a few minutes of snapping this morning, and thus decided that a nice, public rant about the whole submission process was wholly appropriate. And by appropriate I mean god damn necessary.
The ideal situation would be for people who submit to our press, or to any other press, to understand a little something about the process behind it and how the world does not revolve entirely around their samples. It's so much more than one person with a questionable fashion sense and a warm carton of orange juice sitting in a back room with stacks upon stacks of "slush pile" material to sort through. At least for us it is.
Open Letter is not unlike many small, independent presses in that we are, essentially, a three-person operation (this not including semester- or summer-long interns). As editor, it falls into MY duties to receive every single submission sent to Open Letter. It doesn't matter if you address an email or envelope to Chad, or to Nate, because it's all going to end up on my desk and in my inbox. And I get to look at every single one of them. And because I am, surprisingly, a polite and considerate person by nature, I reply to every. Single. One of them. And because I am, surprisingly, just ONE person, it's going to take me a while to get back to every query.
So, first and foremost, if you've ever submitted—not just to us, but to any press—and have yet to receive a reply to your query: BACK. OFF. Seriously. Take 20 deep breaths, count to 10, go for a walk, make yourself a sandwich, a tasty one. But honestly, please just back off. We're working on it.Read More...

In this study, we introduce a new technique to model the variation of microstructural parameters across speci c brain regions. We use a simple model of di usion in each voxel, but model the variation of parameters across the region using penalised splines. We t the whole region model directly to the di usion-weighted signals. We test the tech- nique on the mid-sagittal section of the corpus callosum (CC) using a di usion MRI data set with distinct age groups. The method detects di erences and separates the groups.

Interpreters in Pennsylvania Courts
"No one should be put at a disadvantage in court by reason of race, ethnicity, or gender."
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court, 2003
It is a basic right to be able to understand what is happening in court. The fairness of Pennsylvania courts depends on everyone being able to know what is going on in court, whether a person is the victim, the accused, or a witness. It is unfair to a person who cannot speak or understand English, because they have not learned it (commonly referred to as people with limited English proficiency-LEP), or because they are deaf or hard of hearing, unless the court has ways to provide interpreters for them.
Sometimes courts have used family and friends of the victim or abuser to interpret during legal proceedings. Volunteer interpreters can be a poor choice for many reasons. Family members or friends can have feelings in favor of or against the victim or abuser. Even when volunteer interpreters understand and speak English better than the parties, they can misunderstand important legal terms.
Interpreters who are not certified may insert advice or extra language into their translation. Certified interpreters must keep conversations that they translate between a victim and domestic violence advocate confidential, meaning that they can't testify about it in court. A volunteer interpreter does not have to, which can compromise a victim's legal rights.
Pennsylvania Laws About Interpreters
Pennsylvania law makes sure that courts are fairer for people who are deaf or hard of hearing or who do not speak English well. The Court Interpreter Act says that the court can appoint certified interpreters for LEP or deaf parties, witnesses and certain others for court proceedings. Such interpreters are certified in the language and, most importantly, their understanding of legal terms. Certified interpreters also agree to other ethics rules, such as translating word-for-word rather than summarizing what someone says.
Pennsylvania's Interpreter Statute and Regulations list when and how courts should use interpreters for arrests, trials, hearings, and other reasons. They describe how courts can to find qualified and certified interpreters.

As evaluated by a study called DECSION, Nexavar drug meant to treat patients with radioactive iodine refractory differentiated thyroid cancer has been successful in its initial stage of phase III trial.
The drug is an oral therapy against cancer and is developed by Bayer healthCare unit's U. S. division, Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals Inc., and U. S. drug maker Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The study confirmed that the drug was efficient and safe to use for the purpose.
The efficacy of the drug was compared against the existing drug placebo and was found that it was better than that. The drug has been successful in meeting the primary endpoint in the trail and has helped the patients to have progression-free survival.
The secondary endpoint trial will evaluate the drug on the grounds of overall survival, time to progression, response rate and duration of response. It was found that the drug was quite safe and tolerable on its existing profile.
According to the firm, most of the differentiable thyroid cancers are curable; however, RAI-refractory, locally advanced, or metastatic disease were comparatively tough to overcome and also had a lower survival rate.
"We are pleased that the results of this study demonstrate that Nexavar may provide a treatment option for these patients", said Dimitris Voliotis, MD and the Vice President of Global Clinical Development Oncology, Bayer HealthCare.

James Gandolfini, the beloved actor made famous for his role as Tony Soprano on "The Sopranos," died in Italy on Wednesday (June 19), according to reports.
Deadline is reporting that the actor suffered a massive heart attack earlier today. He was 51.
Gandolfini's breakthrough came in Tony Scott's 1991 film True Romance", where his portrayal of a ruthless hit man won him initial recognition. Gandolfini won three Emmy Awards for his portrayal of the New Jersey mob boss on the acclaimed HBO series, which ran for six seasons, from 1999 to 2007.
But Gandolfini's portrayal of creator David Chase's mob boss reverberated far beyond television and into the world of music. Tony Soprano was forever immortalized on Jay-Z's verse on Beyonce's 2003 smash "Crazy In Love": "Stick bony, but the pockets is fat like Tony Soprano."
Apart from his iconic role as the conflicted Soprano, New Jersey-born Gandolfini recently appeared in "Zero Dark Thirty" as the director of the C.I.A., lent his voice to "Where the Wild Things Are" and also appeared in "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone."
According to TMZ, the actor was in Italy for the Taormina Film Festival, where he was supposed to participate in an event with director Gabriele Muccino.
The actor is survived by his wife, former model Deborah Lin, as well as a son with ex-wife Marcy Wudarski.

We picked Nevsky Inn because it is located in the historic centre and ad good reviews. We decided to spend a day in Hermitage and another day in both Catherine Palace and Peterhof. We took the 10 am Allegro train from Helsinki to SPB. tickets were booked in advance and received by email. The ride was smooth and our passports were stamped a fe times by both Finland and Russia customs.
The entrance is this uninviting maroon colored thick steel door that you have to yank to get in and kick to get out. Entry is by thumb size key only. It looks a little like those round batteries that come in watches or something. The hallway smells like cement and you have to cLimb 4 slights of stairs to reach the door that says b&b (the name of our hotel is Nevsky inn). That door is tall and foreboding as well and on the inside is padded with leather and a curious peep hole. I describe these doors only because they seem like a back entrance. But they're not. They are the only means of entering and exiting. The receptionist met us at the door, took us directly to our room. There are only 6 or 7 rooms and one floor. There is a kitchen where breakfast is served. I had fried egg, toast, butter, and cereal every morning. Our room and bathroom had plenty of space. I would definitely stay here again.
Day 2 Lots of Walking We purchased our Hermitage tickets online a month in advance of our trip. The tickets arrived in our junk mail and we printed them out ahead of time. Our hotel is an enviable 5 min Walk to Hermitage. Inside we were directed to the info booth and ticket booth to get actual tickets. We had downloaded the Hermitage app on our iPhones but still picked up a map for safe measure. I wanted to go immediately to the third floor for Byzantine art. The first stair case we found was closed and the only elevator we tried did not go to that floor. The Byzantine art rooms turned out to be closed - though this was not mentioned on the app or map. There was one room open in the 100s that had a collection of the finest examples of Byzantine work, no photos were allowed. I feel like we explored every room that was open in the main building. We were there for hours and there were quite a few rooms closed/empty for renovation/restoration. The Russian interiors were breathtaking. We ate lunch at the cafe inside- it is cash only. There are multiple small gift shops throughout the museum. I picked up a few magnets for 200 RUB. That night we ate at Telop - an intimate just like home restaurant located on Bolshaya Morskaya. We did not have a reservation and were seated outdoors. The food was really delicious and the service impeccable. I had a pear salad, San pellegrino, Napoleon cake and borscht. Our food came out quickly despite the inside seating being packed. It poured on our way back to the hotel. The hotel was close, in walking distance. We were soaked and I only brought one jacket and one pair of shoes... And they weren't rain boots.
Day 3 Petersburg There are many ways to get to Catherine Palace and Peterhof from the city. Public Bus, minibus, hydrofoil, private large group tour. After exchanging emails with Alla Tours, White Nights, Davranov, etc. in March, I made a reservation with Palladium Travel Agency. I emailed directly with the manager Alexei. He answered every question without hesitation and willingly accommodated every request. We were picked up promptly at 9 am at our hotel by our tour guide, Sergei Akopov, PhD. He is well travelled, sharp, published and handsome Associate Professor Petersburger who lectures around the world. It was the first time he worked with our driver. We stopped first at Catherines Palace and cut the large tour groups. Large being ~20+. There were almost no groups our size (3 including guide). I took photos in nearly every room allowed. I was a huge fan of Baroque architecture in high school, so the gold leaf, silk walls, amber room, every exquisite detail was a feast for the senses for me. There are additions to the palace, classicism which was a love of mine since I visited The White House in 5th grade. Sergei covered a lot of ground and history in an easy going fashion. Hearing the stories of Catherine overthrowing her husband, exchanging letters with Voltaire, and hosting/debating with Diderot etc brought the palace to life He also spontaneously selected a restaurant for us mid way to Peterhof, so that we could avoid the crowds at the palace cafes. We sat indoor with a view of the prime ministers home and shared half a roast chicken, with Greek salad, black bread and San pellegrino for RUB. Very delicious! * note: a lunch stop was a special request arranged in advance. Sergei simply selected a place that wasn't at the palaces to save us time.
At Peterhof we stopped first at a newly opened museum, which housed the private collection of the Benois family. No photos were allowed indoors. There was a keeper in every room and Sergei translated as much as he could. It was his first time seeing the collection but he still remained an expert and pointed out a number of famous pieces. Peterhof was impressive. It was not at all crowded when we went, as Sergei arranged for us to go in between 2 large groups. We had simply to keep a room or two ahead of the Italian group behind us to have the rooms to ourselves for a few moments. We took no photos so the tour went by quickly. It was a blue sky day so we spent a majority of our time in the gardens. There are over 100 fountains, some grand and in gold leaf, others a trick fountain where a keeper manually sprays kids who believe they've triggered the fountain by stepping on the wrong rock. I lost part of the cover to my camera. As soon as I notified Sergei, we retraced our steps back to the palace and spoke with the guards. A camera case was found back in the lower gardens by the fountain of Eve but it wasn't mine. Sergei was completely thoughtful and understanding. When he recommended that we check our cameras for photos of me with the camera/camera case, we only found 2: 1 with me completely covering the camera and 1 with me striking an embarrassing but playful pose. As I arranged in my emails with the manager Alexei, we took the hydrofoil with Sergei back to Petersburg and were dropped off at the Winter Palace. The tour was 12900 RUB. Alexei also took care of our taxi for an additional 1400 each way.
I hate to tell you this, but you missed the most worthwhile museum in St. Petersburg (my apologies if you actually did visit it, but didn't include it in your report). Yes, the Hermitage is an amazing building, and it hosts one of the best collections of ancient art and Old Masters in the world. As impressive as the Hermitage's trove might be, however, virtually every large city in Europe has a museum with a similar stylistic scope of artwork (although all but the Louvre are smaller). But the one thing you won't find at the Hermitage, or any similar museum outside of Russia- Russian art, depicting Russian subject matter, composed in unique Russian styles by Russian artists. This was why I loved St. Petersburg's Russian Museum. You simply won't find anything like it elsewhere in Europe. Russia seems to have kept tighter control of its native artwork than any other country. But it sounds like you had a great trip!

Original Message
Prepare ye the way of Maitreya:
I heard the story on MSNBC about the unusual "UFO" that has been appearing regularly over Lake Erie for the past 10 days. I do not know exactly what that particular "UFO" actually is. However, it "may" be the "star" that is heralding Maitreya's Presence among us.
Maitreya holds the position known throughout the world as the Christ, Imam Mahdi, Krishna, Bodhisattva, the Messiah, and the Buddha, depending on a person's particular religion. He descended from His Himalayan retreat in 1977 and entered London, England where He has been living as a seemingly ordinary man.
Since January of this year He has been interviewed on numerous television programs in the US but not as the Christ. He is introduced as an ordinary man but with insights into the problems that confront the world. More interviews will follow and eventually He will be invited to address the world: the Day of Declaration. He will announce Who indeed He is and will show us the right way toward a glorious future based on sharing and cooperation, where division, competition, war and greed are left far behind.
In December of 2008 "Share International" magazine sent a press release to the world's media announcing that what appears to be a "star" will be seen around the world both night and day. This "star" heralds Maitreya's Presence among us and is akin to the Star of Bethlehem in biblical days. A month later, in January of 2009, such an unusual "star" began being noticed around the world. Dozens of videos have now been uploaded to YouTube, Internet blogs have appeared asking what it may be, and even a few newspapers have dared mention the unusual object being noticed over their towns.
The "star" is actually 1 of 4 very large spaceships that originate from the planets in our solar system. All of our sister planets are inhabited on what are called the ethereal planes: very fine planes that underlie the dense physical. The UFO crews are our Space Brothers and work tirelessly to clean our atmosphere of the toxic pollutants we dump into it. The most dangerous of these pollutants are levels of radiation that seep from nuclear reactors, unrecognized by our primitive scientific equipment, and is largely responsible for such diseases as Alzheimer's.
For what it's worth, Benjamin Creme's Master confirms Lake Erie UFO's are the real deal.
Media report the 'star' over Cleveland
A mysterious light in the skies of Cleveland, Ohio, USA, has created a lot of media interest, with substantial reports on MoxNews and Fox8News. On 12 March 2010 MoxNews reported that a light had been seen for the ninth night in a row around the same place and time – 7-8pm – sometimes staying for several hours – over Lake Erie in Euclid, Cleveland. The light was first seen by a young local man, Eugene Erlikh, who said: "Absolutely nothing we have on this earth even looks like that." He added: "It was such a brilliant beam of different lights, it was going red, yellow, green, blue. It was never the same colour, it was always like it was pulsating." His friend, Nick Hausen, was also a witness. "At first, I figured it was just a star but the way it would move, it would move so fast, I've never seen anything like it," he said. Erlikh filmed the light – and on another occasion, two lights – which can be seen on the media reports on YouTube. (Source: fox8.com; moxnews.com; YouTube)
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms that it was the 'star', but that from time to time there were also UFOs from Mars. See also letter above titled "Lake Erie 'star' sightings".)

Lake Erie 'star' sightings
Dear Editor,
On the evening of 16 March 2010 three of us were in Euclid, Ohio, on a high bluff overlooking Lake Erie. Shortly after arriving there, a star-like object or UFO suddenly appeared in the skies to the northwest. One person in the group who had a compass commented that it was on a heading of 300 degrees. As we watched, the object gradually brightened and began sparkling as it remained stationary. Some time later, it slowly dimmed until it was no longer visible. Over a period of an hour, this phenomenon repeated itself several times – with the object appearing, disappearing, and then reappearing in the same position.
One person, who has been photographing this activity for two weeks, said that the infrared feature on his video camera allows him to see the UFOs after they have become invisible to the naked eye. He also said they can become quite brilliant. As soon as that comment was uttered, the luminosity of the star-like object increased dramatically and was momentarily brighter than the star Sirius (which was also visible to us).
Later, a second UFO or star-like object appeared to the lower left of the first one. For several moments, these two hung motionless in the sky together. Then the second one began moving towards the position held by the first one. A minute or so later, the first object began moving towards the position where the second object had appeared. This conveyed the impression that they were switching positions with each other.
Once this 'exchange' had been completed, the second star-like object became stationary. The first one then receded very slowly, as if on a westerly trajectory (i.e moving away from us). As it departed, the light gradually dimmed and began taking on a deep red hue the closer it approached to the horizon. When we were leaving the bluff, the second star-like object emitted a flash of brilliant white light and then disappeared.
Can you say whether these star-like objects are the 'star' that heralds Maitreya's emergence? Were the brilliant flashes of white light a response to our thoughts?
M.L., Lorain, Ohio, USA.
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms that the 'star' and a spacecraft were seen over Lake Erie. The flashes of white light were not in response to thought.)

To trap the person you sleep with under the covers and fart.
Boy: I got you something
Girl: What ?
Boy: A DUTCH OVEN !

When a guy farts in bed with his girlfriend then pulls then sheets over their heads.
My girlfriend wouldn't do it with me last night so I gave her a dutch oven.
di big zig 05 febbraio 2011
While in bed, you fart then pull the covers over the head of whomever is in bed with you. You hold the covers over his or her head until the stink leaves.
Last night in bed, my boyfried pulled a dutch oven on me.
di Jenn Jo 13 novembre 2006
Dutch oven is when you fart under the covers and the smell seeps out to your nose as soon as you lift the covers up. Because the smell is concentrated by the time it gets to you, it's ten times worse (or better, up to you) than it normally would be.
I farted under the covers. This is also known as the act of (or creating a) Dutch oven.
di bluthuf 28 novembre 2013
The dark abyss of bed covers in witch there are insane amounts of ass air waiting to suffocate the next nearest victim.
Man I cooked the craziest dutch oven ever and nearly made my friend pass out. :)
di Schiz 22 agosto 2008
1. (Australian slang) The act of having a whole group of friends (or fellow potheads) bundle up into a car (preferably a full passenger load) and all smoking marijuana, preferably with the windows wound up, as to have the car's interior thick with both a bong haze and steam from the bods sitting in the said vehicle! And having no fresh air coming in, one can get get stoned both on the toke and the haze. Great in a panel van too!
Before the concert, we all piled up into Jack's car and had ourselves an almighty Dutch oven: faaaark, we were ripped! Phwooooar!
di Bag O'Turnips 08 aprile 2008
When one partner farts while maneuvering the sheets in such a position such that the other is trapped under the sheets and must smell the rankness of the fart. Named after the dutch door, which could operate with the bottom half closed and the top open.
I had a beast breathin out of my ass so I gave the bitch a "dutch oven"

Whole body hypothermia provides cerebral (brain) protection for newborns affected by hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). This complication occurs when there is a reduced level of oxygen (hypoxia) or blood flow (ischemia) to the baby's brain or body.
Whole-body cooling places newborns on a water-filled cooling mattress to reduce body temperature to 92F for three days, which is long enough to interrupt brain injury. After the three days, your baby recovers to a normal body temperature in our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with continuous EEG (electroencephalogram) neuromonitoring.Our cooling program follows the National Institute of Health's Neonatal Network protocol, which demonstrates a reduction in death or serious disability for infants who develop serious neonatal encephalopathy within 6 hours of birth.
Billie Short, MD, is the chief of the Division of Neonatology and the chief of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Dr. Short also is the Executive Director of the Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Program (ECMO).

The real impact of minimum wage increase
In September of last year, Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation that will raise the minimum wage from $8 an hour to $9 an hour by this July and once again to $10 an hour by January 2016. And just this week, San Diego Council President Todd Gloria unveiled a minimum-wage increase proposal with the intent that the City Council would approve it and place it on the November ballot. His proposal is to raise the minimum wage to $13.09 by July 2017. So what are the facts and what are the underlying impacts a proposal like this would have on business in the region?
According to a report from the Center on Policy Initiatives, there are more than 300,000 households in San Diego County that do not make enough to cover basic expenses. This represents 37.8 percent of all homes in the county. According to the report, one individual would need to make $13.09 an hour just to make ends meet in San Diego, while two wage earners would need to make between $15.93 an hour and $20.06 an hour combined.
Advocates for a minimum-wage increase speak to the effect that raising the minimum wage would equate to more local investment as families making more would be able to afford more in the marketplace. Notwithstanding the increase in discretionary income throughout the region, the increase to the minimum wage would have real impacts to businesses and jobs.
It is important to acknowledge that the impacts to business are as diverse as to the families. Not every business will be affected as greatly as others. For example, the effects a hotel or motel owner would realize from an increase to wages would be far greater than the impact on a law firm or other operation, where the wages paid to employees already exceed the suggested minimum wage increase.
Many businesses will be forced to raise the wages of those employees who make more than the minimum wage in order to comply with exemption salary-basis testing. Further, by not giving other employees a raise, employers are inadvertently creating an atmosphere of favoritism or low morale should they choose not to raise all employee salaries.
Raising the minimum wage will not close the gap between higher-paying and lower-paying jobs. Because of other regulatory requirements, higher wages will not automatically equate to wage parity. Additionally, the minimum wage has always operated as the wage earning "floor" for employees. These wages are paid to those who work entry-level jobs and employees with little or no experience. As employees gain experience and skills, it is expected that they would earn more thus allowing room for new jobs.
Raising the minimum wage does not take into consideration the cumulative impact of all increases to wages and fees that have been passed on to businesses over the years. When the minimum wage is increased, so are other costs associated to a company's bottom line such as workers' compensation rates. This, coupled with the loss of federal unemployment insurance credits and new legislation impacts such as the Affordable Care Act, all combines to have a significant effect on any business's bottom line.

Note: Top four area meet finishers in every event advance to regions on April 26-27.
Supersize it.
That's what four districts decided to do with this week's area track and field meets, and the result is District 13-5A vs. District 14-5A, plus 17-5A vs. 18-5A, on Friday, April 19, at Klein ISD Memorial Stadium.
By combining the two area meets, a new phase of the University Interscholastic League's track and field postseason agenda, participants will have more time between events, and fans will get a twofer.
"As far as I know we're the only ones who are putting two area meets together," Klein Oak boys coach Andres Andrepont said. "There may be others, but I haven't heard of any, and it actually benefits us because now there will be four heats in every event instead of just two, and that makes it a little easier on the kids."
This 'Supersized' extravaganza begins at 10 a.m. featuring 13-5A vs. 14-5A field events at Klein ISD Memorial Stadium, and 17-5A vs. 18-5A field events at Klein Collins High School (the only events away from Klein ISD Memorial).
The 3,200 meters also starts at 10 a.m. at Klein ISD Memorial Stadium and that will give distance runners who are also in the 1,600 about five hours to recover.
The running events begin with the sprint relay (4 x 100) at 3:30 p.m.
"I like (the area meet)," said Cy Springs boys coach Michael Cahee, who directed the Panthers to a first-ever district championship last week. "Having an area round forces you to build team depth and avoid having your athletes peak too soon, and it also allows for more kids to advance, and academically, they have to maintain their grades."
The top four area finishers advance to regionals on April 26-27 with 13-5A and 14-5A qualifiers going to Region II in Waco, and 17-5A and 18-5A qualifiers heading to Region III at Turner Stadium in Humble.
The top two at regionals go to the the UIL State Meet on May 10-11 in Austin.
The top four finishers in every district event are in the area meet, and last week, the Klein Oak boys and Klein girls were the best in 13-5A, and the Cy Creek girls and Cy Springs boys captured 17-5A team crowns.
It was a fifth straight district championship for the Klein Oak boys, who tallied 149 points to outlast Klein Collins (145) and Kingwood (136).
"We pulled a rabbit out of the hat," Andrepont said. "It was tied at 133 heading into the final event (4 x 400 relay), and we finished second and Klein Collins was third and that was the difference."
Devonte Lacy won the 13-5A boys 200 meters, and also was a big part of the winning 800 relay and runner-up 1,600 foursome, and Jontavis Smith, a freshman, also gave the Panthers a big spark on all three relays, according to Andrepont.
"Our biggest challenge in area will be the distance runners coming out of 14-5A," Andrepont said. "I don't want to put my foot in my mouth, but I'm not a big advocate of the area round, but for a kids who gets third or fourth at district, it does give them another shot to get to regionals.
"But in terms of distance runners like (Klein Oak's) Bradley (Dohner), it's going to make him bust his rear end just to get to regionals, and it will be three weeks in a row going all out (district-region-state)."
Donner was a double winner in the 3,200 and 1,600 in 13-5A and has state experience in cross country and track.
In 17-5A boys, Cy Springs (113.5) held off Langham Creek (99), Cy Ranch (98) and Cy Woods (88).
"The difference at district for us was balance and numbers," Cahee said, "and there is a lot of balance in 17-5A and 18-5A in field and running events, so it shapes up to be very competitive and exciting."
The Cy Creek girls (118) beat out Cy Ridge (85) and Cy-Fair (79) in 17-5A, and the Klein girls nipped Kingwood (123-121) in 13-5A.

(14.5% alcohol): Bright ruby-red. Aromas of cassis, dark plum, smoky underbrush, spicecake and tobacco, plus a strong component of sweet, nutty oak. Lush, full and sweet, with black fruit, vanilla and licorice flavors dominating. The long finish features big, broad, mouthdusting tannins that coat the front teeth. Given the nature of 2007, this big wine probably won't be as long-lived as some other recent vintages for this estate, whose wines are known for their longevity. But it offers plenty of early appeal for a Riserva and should evolve nicely for another 15 years.Author: Ian D'Agata

Hottokeinaino [English, 194 pictures], by Hara Shigeyuki23 October 2012, by Oliver
Here, is, thanks to our dear Ehud who gave me a link, the complete Hottokeinaino manga, 194 pages full of good hentai. Thank you SO MUCH, Ehud ^_^ And, of course, thanks a lot to Tadanohito, the great translator behind this
Two important notes : I regret to say there is white hole censorship, deal with it guys. And the sex is always happy with mutual respect, including – huh ?!? – happy sex with love =)
The heroine is a delicious cutie, I'd say she is between 25 and 30 years old, quite tall, with long hair, long legs, the hips thin but not unnaturally thin, very large breasts but they could almost still be realistic, and, on top of all, an always cheerful expression. Oh boy, her smiles warmed my heart
She works in a costumes selling shop and, as we could guess, her job leads her to meet several people, and she has sex in various outfits, in several funny situations (included in the dorm of the baseball team from hell, I laughed hard, you'll understand ^^;;). She's a kind girl, loving sex and seeing no reason to say "no", bless her
And her outfits are really totally sexy, GROAR, I wish I could hug her
All in all, I think this manga is HIGHLY worth reading, once again, thank you Ehud !

Dan Wolken: University of Memphis hits goals on shoestring budget in soccer
Twice in the past couple of years, University of Memphis women's soccer coach Brooks Monaghan has been approached about jobs in the Southeastern Conference where the budgets are bigger, the on-campus facilities are better and -- get this -- some teams even have the use of private planes.
"Ole Miss charters all the time," Monaghan said, referring to one of the schools, along with Kentucky, that has attempted to hire him away.
While some coaches at Memphis struggle to compete with the SEC, Monaghan simply turns down their jobs and then beats them, building an unlikely national power at a school that didn't even have women's soccer when he graduated in 1994.
After winning three straight Conference USA titles and recently earning a program-best No. 13 ranking, Memphis (6-1) achieved another mark of prominence Sunday with a 2-1 victory at Ole Miss, completing a 3-0 sweep of the SEC teams on its schedule.
"I appreciate the support (athletic director R.C. Johnson) and the administrators give me because it allows us to do a lot," Monaghan said. "But we can't compare our budget to the SEC, no way."
At a time of year when the focus for Memphis fans so often turns to what they don't have -- no on-campus stadium, no indoor practice facility, no football wins -- Monaghan's program stands as a testament to resourcefulness over resources.
On Friday night, for instance, the Lady Tigers hosted Alabama at Mike Rose Soccer Complex, a wonderful facility that would be absolutely perfect if it weren't 15 miles off campus. Alabama, by contrast, noted in its media guide that the school's soccer stadium -- which opened in 2004 -- just received a facelift, including the video board that was used at Bryant-Denny Stadium until last year.
In other words, there are better instant replays at Alabama women's soccer games than Memphis football games.
But instead of lobbying for more amenities, Monaghan recruits players who don't need them, focusing on "blue-collar kids" and eschewing some of the high-profile club teams.
It's also clear, though, that Memphis has some very talented players. Despite falling behind Alabama on an early goal, Memphis responded with a blistering 4-1 win that showcased a massive difference in speed and technique. After seeing the Lady Tigers for the first time, it's no wonder some women's soccer blogs are predicting them to go undefeated the rest of the season and dominate C-USA much like their counterparts in men's basketball.
In some ways, however, the run Memphis is on in women's soccer is even more impressive because Monaghan does not enjoy some of the same built-in advantages as Josh Pastner. Whereas Tiger basketball was re-built quickly on the strength of local talent, senior Ashley Berra is the only Memphis native on a roster that includes players from 14 states and Canada. Moreover, Monaghan can't go across the country and attract players with tradition or huge fan support or a state-of-the-art practice facility.
"At Memphis, right, we're not a school every kid dreams of going to," Monaghan said. "We've really built this on good soccer players with the right character. What happened is, that gave us a solid team, which allowed us to recruit better players. When you're winning, it always makes it easier to recruit. It's easier than it was four or five years ago, for sure."
In his 11th season as head coach, it's now at the point where Monaghan has built something that can sustain and perhaps even make a dent in the NCAA Tournament, where the program has stalled in its past three first-round games.
And certainly there will be more opportunities for Monaghan to move on, one of which might eventually test how committed his alma mater is to fielding a top-20 women's soccer program. While high-level basketball generates millions for Memphis, the athletic departments that typically pour a lot of money into women's soccer are athletic departments that have a lot of money to spend.
Memphis has nudged Monaghan's salary up with each successive conference title, but you can pretty well forget the idea of chartered flights, and he's not even asking for them.
"If that's what sells a kid, that's not the type of kid we want," Monaghan said.
But is that the type of program Monaghan wants to one day coach? While acknowledging that he won't turn away phone calls -- "Everybody has to look," he said -- Monaghan says he has little reason to leave.
His family and friends are here, his hunting cabin is 30 minutes away, and he's now on the verge of the best season in school history -- with half the budget of SEC programs and 100 percent of their claimed superiority.

"I think the film had a lot to do with finding new evidence," Berlinger said. "The films have been instrumental in finding flaws with the case. There is a huge, direct link with what has happened with the new evidence, and the making of these films. The money and support, needed to re-examine the case, came from interest and support for the movie."
The new evidence, however, is far from an exoneration, a fact that weighs heavily on the director.
"I firmly believe that these films have kept these guys alive because of all the attention," Berlinger said. "At this point, I don't think the state of Arkansas would have the courage to execute [him]."
"One of my biggest influences for being a filmmaker was 'The Thin Blue Line,'" said Berlinger. "That movie got a guy out of jail in a reasonable amount of time. I am still utterly dumbfounded that the first movie didn't create the same result."
Ofra Bikel, a producer for the PBS award-winning series "Frontline," has worked on documentaries that have led to the exoneration of 14 people.
"Innocence Lost," a "Frontline" documentary, follows the case of Bob Kelly, who, along with six other defendants, was accused of sexually abusing 29 children at a day-care center in Edenton, N.C. Eight years and three "Frontline" programs later, all of the charges against Kelly were dropped.
"We didn't have confidential informers, we weren't rifling through people's drawers in the dead of night. We just looked at the evidence," said Bikel. "All anyone had to do was look, and they would have realized something was wrong."
Part of the reasons these documentaries resonate with viewers, Bikel said, is because of the power of film.
"When you read there are 100,000 people dying of hunger, you have a very different reaction than when you see, with your own eyes, just two of those children dying."
Making a film is costly, but increasingly, the families and advocates of the accused are turning to the Internet to garner support, by making small films, and posting them to sites like YouTube.
"We have seen a real increase in people turning to YouTube to get these stories out into the public," said Ferrero.
One year ago this month, Eric Volz, a 27-year-old Nashville, Tenn., native and magazine editor, was accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend inside the clothing store she owned in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.
Volz's family and lawyers insist he was not even in the same city, and argue that anti-American sentiment led to his conviction and 30-year sentence.
A short video posted to YouTube in March, which ends with Volz's parents finding out he has been convicted, has been viewed more than 156,000 times. That figure has buoyed the family's hopes that, as people learn about Volz, his chances of being released increase.
"We'd be lost at this point if we didn't have the Internet," said Volz's stepfather, Dane Anthony. "It would be incredibly difficult to garner support in the way we've been able to without the Internet."
