This year will see the completion of the tenth and final season of Smallville. Since first airing in 2001, fans have watched Tom Welling as Clark Kent grow into the person that would eventually become
There are no major spoilers in this review. But if you absolutely dont want to know what happens at all in the season ten premiere of Smallville then you probably shouldnt be on the internet.
Were at the midway point of August and while that might mean the countdown to cooler weather and the return to school or work has already begun for some, it also means were just a few weeks away from the start of the new TV season. Up ahead is the primetime schedule for the Fall 2010 season.
The CW announced their 2010 Fall premiere schedule and they're starting the season off by blocking the return of America's Next Top Model with the premiere of one of their new series Hellcats.
A great opening. It had everything a good finale needs: Perry as editor, Olsen alive, Lois as the Queen of the Daily Planet, and Clark flying in the red and blue as Superman. This sequence was great; it was like a dream
The doorway scene in which Ma Kent see's Pa is really touching and Annette O'Toole shows how you can carry a scene with just superior acting, Erica Durance on the other hand uses cleavage to cover up her so-so acting
Chloe discovers Tess in Watchtower and in a moment which is very unlike Tess, she is tricked into thinking the gun she found is empty. Watchtower goes into lockdown and Tess and Chloe are locked in together. Sounds like we are going to focus on Chloe again: snooze-fest
All right! The episode starts with Erica Durance in a skanky bunny costume. Last week, Smallville keeps a villain alive for once and now this. Someone up top has been listening to me. While I'm on a roll, I hope we see Lobo show up and duke it out with the Blur
My problems with tonight's episode are gonna sound like fanboy whining. Metallo knows what the Blur looks like, so how long 'til he knows who Clark is? I'm glad that Metallo stayed alive and we see more Brian Austin Green, but didn't he want to be Green Lantern on the show?
This weeks episode was great, it had everything that a good episode needs. It was heavily character driven and really focused on some key characters. the rundown is that green Arrow gets kidnapped by Tess, who escapes before they learn he is Oliver Queen. Waller shows just how bitchy she can be and I must say, Pam Grier is perfect for the role
The world of television is ever changing. Mostly having to do with reality stars and their will they, wont they contract signing drama. But theres a lot going on each week in TV, and not all of its good
Chloe, after hearing there are wolves in the woods decides to go for a walk alone in said wolf infested-woods, next thing she sees is a ghostly outline of a woman with glowing eyes. Time to turn back? No, Chloe ventures forth until she herself comes face to face with this week's villain
Syfy is continuing to embrace their new name's more expansive meaning by green-lighting a comedy pilot that isn't science fiction, though it does still have some connections. Created by Smallville's Michael Rosenbaum, the series stars him and Jonathan Silverman as two former sci-fi actors trying to get by now that their glory days are behind them
With the recent renewals of Smallville for a tenth season, and FOX's pick-up of Fringe for a full 22-episode third season, genre television is actually doing pretty well on television, despite the deaths of Eastwick and Dollhouse earlier this year.
Weve decided that you, dear reader, deserve to have the most interesting of tales told laid out for you in a neat organized list form. Welcome to This Week In Television, where you see whats worth your time over the past seven days.

The Phoenix Coyotes acquired fifth-year center Petteri Nokelainen from the Anaheim Ducks Wednesday in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2010 Entry Draft. Nokelainen, 24, was the New York Islanders' first-round pick, 16th overall, in the 2004 Draft. He played only 15 games for the Islanders before a knee injury sidelined him for most of the 2005-06 season.
The Islanders traded him to Boston in 2007 and he played 90 games over parts of two seasons before he was traded to Anaheim for Steve Montador on March 4, 2009. Nokelainen had four goals and 11 points with 21 penalty minutes and was minus-7 in 50 games this season. He has 16 goals and 32 points with 60 penalty minutes and is minus-6 in 172 NHL games.

Welcome to my personal space. I am a PhD student at the Computer Graphics and Visualization group of the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing. Prior to that, I completed my diploma in mathematics at Heidelberg University. This site contains some things I care about.
- Research, which is what I am doing for my PhD thesis
- University stuff such as papers and talks (from when I was a wee student)
- My curriculum vitæ
- Personal information and the imprint, which is required for websites in Germany
- thought-winged, my personal blog
- A collection of HOWTOs
- Information related to FreeBSD
- Projects, mostly programming-related
If you like tinkering and electronics, you also might want to check out the awesome automated Cocktail machine, which I am proud to host on this very server. The website is in German, though.
Further external content that might be of interest:
- Web π, the irrational part of the web, which tries to explain my views on the design of websites. Probably more of a rant.

Samsung Galaxy Core review: Two for one
Dual-SIM devices are almost exclusively a money-conscious affair and the Samsung Galaxy Core sticks to the playbook. It's just that when you look to optimize you monthly mobile spending by taking advantage of two different contracts, you don't usually want to spend big on a high-end smartphone and look for value-for-money offerings.
Despite its sub-€200 price tag the Samsung Galaxy Core, which also comes in single-SIM flavor, still offers a dual-core CPU, very reasonable 217ppi screen and a 5MP camera, as well as a styling reminiscent of the Galaxy S4 flagship. And it's all squeezed in a 9mm slim body, which while no longer impressive in the higher market tiers is quite the feature with entry level smartphones.
Samsung Galaxy Core official images
The Android version is charge of the Samsung Galaxy Core is also very respectful - 4.1 Jelly Bean is basically as good as it gets in this price range. It should keep things nicely smooth thanks to its Project Butter Optimizations and it's easily more functional than Windows Phone 8, which is the main Android rival in the lower market segments.
The spec sheet is often louder than words so check it out.
Key features
- Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE; quad-band 3G with HSPA; optional Dual-SIM with dual stand-by and 3G on both SIMs
- 4.3" 16M-color WVGA TFT capacitive touchscreen; 217ppi
- Android OS v4.1.2 Jelly Bean with TouchWiz UI
- Dual-core 1.2GHz Cortex-A5 CPU, Adreno 203 GPU
- 1GB of RAM
- 5 MP autofocus camera with LED flash, 480p video recording @ 30fps
- VGA front-facing camera
- Wi-Fi b/g/n, hotspot
- GPS with A-GPS
- 8GB of built-in storage
- microSD card slot
- microUSB 2.0 port
- Bluetooth v3.0
- Stereo FM radio with RDS
- Standard 3.5 mm audio jack
- Accelerometer and proximity sensor
- 1,800mAh battery; user replaceable
Main disadvantages
- No HD video recording
- No NFC
- No ambient light sensor
- Feeble chipset
Of course the dual-SIM smartphone market is no longer the wasteland it was a couple of years ago, so the Samsung Galaxy Core will face some stiff competition. Devices like the HTC Desire 600 or Sony's Xperia M are ready to take advantage of any chinks in the Galaxy Core armor and when you read the fine print you realize there are quite a few those.
The CPU core count and clock speed are quite nicely sounding, but its Cortex-A5 nature certainly puts a big question mark over the performance. And while we have seen some pretty good 5MP snappers from Samsung this particular one fails quite miserably on the video front.
Then again it's not about setting benchmark or pixel density records in these parts of the market. What matters here is that least corners are cut and the smartphone performance is well balanced. Those are the two things we are about to test right now - join us after the break as we give the Galaxy Core a thorough hardware examination.

New York City, the urban city outsider tourists knows as the 'Big Apple'. People of differed nationalities had lived here all of their life or to even start over from a state or country that is inferior to what this state had to offer. Many found it as a place of endless opportunities. Others had seen it as an overly expensive environment too reckless, pricy and unfair to live in. The city have not been the same lately. It only been getting worse as the years pass by; a city ruled by technology the more it gets advanced by highly experienced people both young and old who are knowledgeable in handling machines. But even technology malfunction. Everything that can behave or think on its own makes errors. However. For Hawk Grant the possibility for his theories to be incorrect is near to impossible. Things turned incredibly horrid fast and it is not what he first thought. It was not people who was going to continue to fight amongst themselves.. Something else is out there to harm the earthlings here. But what? An internal thought he would ponder on about but no detailed solution came to mind. This proved to be a problem with as much difficulty as Math Calculus, the highest mathematics class in high school. Something he is glad he doesn't have to take until next year.
Hawk had worn a PU black leather bomber jacket over a tall six foot athletic body, the gray hooded fabric underneath the outwear ensure the outwear to have various uses for the weather. It was a chilly November afternoon on the third of the month. The frigid breeze did not falter its cool course...not for one minute. It was continuously blowing throughout the atmosphere. He likes the cold compared to the smothering hot weather the Summer had to offer. The chilled conditions is bearable than utmost heat in most moments. The two thick hooded layers on top of his own body was enough to counter the chilliness. A lime green cotton hoodie is underneath his jacket with the words, "Lights Out" imprinted in the center of the front. Although unseen because of wearing his jacket, a Barret M95 Sniper rifle is illustrated on the back of the hoodie in the center. His determined walk in black combat boots seem long and fast paced compared to the average sized human. Through his cerulean eyes, a possible destination was far off from keen sight and the streets of Manhattan were deserted. Nothing that was surprising. It was to be expected-no matter what part of the city anyone lived in. Whatever that was out here did not reach him yet nor his friends that faithfully followed behind him. One who catches up to his walking pace is Japanese Freshman student Kaoru Yamagata. Playfully taking childish skips in her small steps right by Hawk's left side, her eyes dark as black coffee observing the taller boy classmate. She strongly tugs his left arm just at the time where he is about to make his next step forward and they both stop in movement. His thought concentration broken; a bitter glare is initiated in his eyes by giving her a glance in reaction. Kaoru blinks and did not become frighten at his expression of anger despite his height. Brown eyes sternly looked upon him. She replied to his hot-tempered reaction of stopping with a composed, sincere verbal response.
"Relax, Hawk," She begins to tell him. "You need to slow down. The rest of us back here can't keep up."
"Slow down?" He repeated after her. "That won't help any of us."
"Oh, it will. We need to stick together." She musters a broad smile on her peculiarly exotic face. Kaoru's lips remained full and wide even when she tries to lighten up. Letting go out his muscular arm, she clasped both small delicate hands together. "Becoming grumpy isn't going to change things or make Jezzy appear."
"Jezebel." He corrected her from Jezebel's nickname. "Kaoru. I have a reason for this. You know why. Last time we both seen Jezebel was when we took the last of Midterms in October."
"By being pushy and become a grinch going to resolve things?" She mockingly asked. "Its your job to be the knight in shining armor and fly to her rescue."
"Fly. " She nods her head gently, long waist length hair voluminously bounces as the had moved.
Hawk managed to create a smirk when his medium lips' ends pulls upwards slight. The attempted pun of his own name was enough to be amused. Kaoru's bubblegum pink and charcoal black buttoned up Varsity jacket done the same for her and kept her warm under fifty degree temperature. The black sleeves to the jacket covered her slender arms to the shoulder to the wrists. The rest of the jacket was a fuchsia pink along with a capital K is inscribed on the chest area where the heart is suppose to be meanwhile a crimson red lips compressing into a kiss symbol on the opposite side. Onyx jeans is barely underneath the jacket pass her narrow hips to her ankles where black and white Converse sneakers are worn. Wearing those type of footwear did not give her short height of five feet and four inches no justice.
Both Kaoru and Hawk turns their body around to face the wandering familiar people behind them. Sophomore students Niric Thompson and Linella Webb were treading behind the energetic Kaoru who happened to catch up with the frustated Hawk Grant. By the time they had reached them both, Niric and Linella figured Hawk was stalled long enough and persuaded to calm himself. Similar to Hawk in a sense, Linella was a light skinned individual who majored in the same class as him. However, Niric was a dark skinned African American who worked along side Jezebel whenever they are both in school together. He reminded Hawk of Jezebel from time to time due to his vast knowledge of films. Crossing his arms on his broad chest over a blue wool coat covering a knitted white cardigan and his red polka dot bow-tie, he takes a blunt guess analyzing the Junior's brash decisions as of late.
"You don't know if she is still alive and it scares you, don't it?"
"It is not helping by stating the obvious and putting me down."
"No, you're bring yourself down and bringing us along with the negativity. Before we continue, we need a plan. A real plan. Running in circles, isn't getting us nowhere. I've seen the building up ahead twice since we been walking. You are smart." Niric pauses and stated the next word applying sarcasm. "Supposedly. It seems to be that ever since we couldn't find her without a trace, it drove your sanity away."
"Supposedly?" Hawk repeated. "I don't see you putting your suggestion until now, Niric."
"You wouldn't listen to what the rest of us have to say," said Niric, fixing his dark brown eyes on Hawk to give contact. "If you did, things would of ended a lot sooner. Linella found something I am sure it is worth sharing. Right, Linella?" He rests his left broad hand and put it on the quieter classmate's puffy sleeved shoulder. She simply nods her head, blond luxurious locs lays on both shoulders and bangs swept to the side away from her honey brown eyes. Not a simple word was spoken from her deep red lip gloss painted succulent lips. She walks forward farther from Niric, gaining some courage to speak up to both Hawk and Kaoru.
"There's this object you both had passed by that I noticed. Something very square, sparkly and colorful like a Rubik's Cube. The gold outer surface caught my eye. Maybe you two can figure what its for." She unhooks the two downward golden buckles her large silvery gray Louis Vuitton handbag had with it. Lifting up the no longer buckled flap to the rectangular bag, she sets it behind the back of the bag and put it next to her flat stomach when her wiry forearm had moved it there. Pearl white winter gloves digs into the handbag and takes out a yellow marigold cube, producing a shimmer of illuminating various colored particles from its outer face. It had no internal holes to come from and didn't show no sign it was a living thing. Hawk's facial structure lit up with glee, finding out his friend's unique discovery.
"Linella, why didn't you tell us about this sooner?" Hawk inquired.
"You did not pay attention to us, remember? We needed K...Kaoru?" She had asked a question herself to the shorter asian student who was now facing her back to them, detecting sound far off from their standing position before they even noticed her attention averted from them during the argument with Niric and Hawk. She had her eyes' concentration on the upcoming block. For the first time in weeks, she had noticed a person's figure materializing in distance. A shadowy form appeared and then distinct features began to take shape into someone recognizable to all four of them. Hawk also turned to look in the direction Kaoru was looking in. To the four youthful teenagers, the person striding down the block towards them looked like... Jezebel. The distant woman they had seen from far away did not sport clothes most New Yorkers would wear. A Japanese black turtle neck collared trench coat design thigh-high jacket. Small gold buttons aligns on the central section of the jacket starting from the torso to the waist down, two buttons inches apart from one another in width and four buttons each going downward. The closer she gotten the more vivid her face and the leggings she wore on smooth caramel legs is; an appealing cat's face with whiskers on one leg and its long curly tail on the other. They could not deny the out this woman dressed in is similar to what Jezebel worn the last time they had seen her.
"It can not be... Jezebel?" Hawk said outloud for the rest of his company to hear.
"That is not Jez, Hawk." Niric boldly stated without a second thought, analyzing the strange female.
"What makes you so sure?"
"How could you not recognize your own girlfriend?" He chuckled with booming volume. "She is clearly darker than Jez, has longer hair with auburn streaks and..."He pauses briefly, judging the female before she gotten close enough to hear him. "Definitely more attractive than her."
"Are you calling Jezebel ugly then?" Hawk retorted.
"Back me up on this, Kaoru? Linella?" Niric cleared his throat.
"You dug into your own hole,"Kaoru responded to his cry for help. "Get yourself out."
"I agree with Kaoru here. Not the best decision you made to bring up looks here." Linella confirmed.
"You two are so supportive!" He exaggerated on the last word with sarcasm. "Jez is cute, Hawk... without a doubt. But this girl just... prettier and looks like her."
When the incoming woman came in reachable distance to the four, a plain expression is shown on dark skinned alluring features. Sweltry hazel eyes set their sights on the tallest student Hawk then Niric. She places a delicate hand over her curvy right side. The sultry voice that accompanies this woman when she speaks is similar to what the students had noticed right away.
"I don't suppose you know Jezebel Dawkins as you two claimed?" She asked them both. "Its the first thing to assume when you both had said her name."
"What business you have with her?" Hawk's curiosity risen.
"I need to find her soon. She is essential to this planet's survival. Its best I find her as soon as possible to ensure she can help save this world before it shares the same fate as the others."
"The others?" Linella questioned her. " Maybe this may help?" She shows her the glittery cube and the other three accomplices gasped by her actions.
"Linella! We can not just easily trust her!" Hawk shouted at her.
"She's... our only lead on finding Jezebel. What if what she speaks is true?"
"You have a Reqlac Cube. It's similar to the Rubik's cube in the form of how it is activated. They are a puzzle made by the person who stores their memory in the cube. The Reqlac has different purposes to it, mainly memory playback. Where did you find that?"
"Outside the high school I go to," Linella informed her. "You have not given us your name."
"Aierlyn, Linella. Allow me to do you the honor of activating the Reqlac cube. In return, I will share the one I have that involves Jezebel. I believe it was her last moments."
"What makes you think its her last?" Kaoru had spoken, trying to make sense of the newcomer's words. "Jezebel is a strong girl. She is not easily taken down... just like myself."
"I know. Its why I must find her. The last words she speaks in the memory's display tells all. Now if you please, let me show you the answers you have been searching for." Aierlyn gives them a small smirk, growing from her full lips.

Journal Journal: "The men who work war, who make war, are cursed
Indeed your denials are the height of cynicism, though still fascinating. To maintain them requires and reveals at least a tiny bit of sociopathy, a lack of empathy. This is what the archivists will see. I suppose that this too is a survival trait of the ambitious man, and to deny its influence is of course, perfectly natural, though I dare say, more than a bit primitive and reactionary. You prove the very concept of evolution itself by carrying the animals vestiges of our past. You provide the "missing" link of our emergence as a species. You are the chimp!

Find reindeer games aplenty at Cougar Mountain Zoo
November 30, 2010
By Laura Geggel
Issaquah Reindeer Festival raises money for exhibits
Not many people can name all nine of Santa's reindeer, but Cougar Mountain Zoo General Curator Robyn Barfoot can name 10.
That's right. There's Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen — not to mention Rudolph — and, Olive, as in "All of the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names; they never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games."
"Zookeepers have a very strange sense of humor," Barfoot said.
There weren't always 10 reindeer at Issaquah's Cougar Mountain Zoo. The first group of reindeer, six in all, came directly from Siberia 23 years ago. Though at the zoo — and in Issaquah, no less — the reindeer not only help Santa every Christmas season but also bring in much-needed dollars for the zoo, which has a slow season during the cold, rainy months.
Now, as the zoo celebrates its 22nd annual Issaquah Reindeer Festival, the reindeer will entertain zoogoers young and old, between visits to Santa Claus and story time, face painting and the grand traveling sleigh.
By now, the reindeer have grown thick winter coats with 8,000 pieces of fur per square inch. Every spring, they shed the extra layer, though they keep their even thicker undercoat, which has 18,000 pieces of fur per square inch.
Barfoot calls the undercoat a "rich dark chocolate brown," and the winter coat "a lighter brown coloration."
That thick fur helps the herbivores stay warm on the Artic tundra, or in the plummeting temperatures felt recently in the Pacific Northwest.
"This is their ideal weather," Barfoot said. "They're running around in their habitat with their tails up and their noses up."
Onlookers can admire their antlers from afar and learn trivia about the mammal, including: reindeer are the only deer in which both male and females have antlers, they are the only deer species to have fur on their noses and they are the fastest swimming hoofed animals, capable of swimming four to six miles an hour.
Zookeepers collect the antlers when they fall off and sell them in the gift shop for between $25 and $180, depending on their complexity.
Children who have letters for Santa, or who want to talk to him directly — he's hard to miss in that bright red suit, after all — can find him from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 1:30-4:30 p.m. until Dec. 23.
Photos with Santa cost $15 for one and $10 for each additional photo if taken by a professional photographer, and $5 for two photos if taken with a visitor camera.
The rest of the zoo, except for select habitats, including the big cats and the Magic Forest, is closed during the reindeer festival.
Whoever visits the reindeer is sure to find a furry-nosed friend if apples are involved.
"They love their apples," Barfoot said. "During the festival, we'll have apples for sale and people can buy and throw over the fence," helping the reindeer get exercise and a sweet treat.

Allen extends pro basketball career
Monessen's Charel Allen was close to hanging up her high-tops, but after having her best statistical season, the thirst for a championship returned.
Allen's BC Levski team lost the championship series to her former team, Dunav 8806, 3-2. That left Allen wanting more.
"I went in thinking I would finish this year and that would be it," Allen said. "Then I had such a great individual season. Teamwise, we went to the finals. But I feel that we should have won (the championship)."
In most European women's leagues, contracts are usually on an annual basis.
"I got offered a two-year contract," the former Monessen High School star said. "I want nothing more than to be a champion. They're going to build around me and told me that I'm going to be the focal point."
Allen, 27, was named the Player of the Year of the seven-team league's regular season. She was named Shooting Guard of the Year, Import Player of the Year and was named to the league's First Team. She finished the season averaging 18.1 points per game, 7.4 rebounds per game and over two assists and steals per game.
"The game has really slowed down for me," Allen said. "I know now what people mean when they say that. I learned the system now and I don't have to go at one pace."
The former Greyhound said she isn't sure what it is that allowed her to break out this season.
"I'm not sure what it is because I take the same mindset into each season ... I want to win a championship," she said. "I can't say that I was more selfish because my game hasn't changed. I was just more comfortable in the system."
This past season was her second with Levski. Last season, she admits she struggled with the acclimation process.
"I left Dunav and signed with an Israeli team after that season, but that didn't work out. Levski picked me up midseason," the former Notre Dame star said. "Going into this season, I knew I would be the focus. I was able to start in the preseason. It's hard when you come to a team midseason, girls already have their roles. I didn't get enough practices early on and wasn't able to learn the other players' tendencies. This year, that wasn't an issue."
Allen said her knowledge of the game and the experience and education on and off the court she received growing up and at Notre Dame have helped her along the way.
"Halftime speeches are usually all in Bulgarian," Allen said of the language barrier. "Coach (Stefan Mihaylov) trusts me, though. With my knowledge of the game, I know what he's saying and what we need to do. If not, he'll translate for me later and let me know what I needed to do."
The only American on her team, Allen said she has adopted Bulgaria as her second home. And she's hopeful pieces of her first home, Monessen, will get to experience the country.
"I'm really hoping that within these two years my mother can come and watch me play," Allen said.
Rotina Johnson, her mother, and Lee Johnson, her stepfather, haven't had the opportunity to see Allen play professionally.
"I really want them to experience the country, the culture and the entire experience," she said, adding with a laugh that the pair may fear the long flight to Europe.
The other thing she'd like them to experience is the fans.
"The fans get crazy and loud," Allen said. "They can bring anything they want into the gym. Whistles, air horns, noisemakers ... there have been times that we've heard a whistle from the stands and just stopped playing. It's crazy. Depending on the game, if it's a rival, the crowd will throw things on the court."
Allen said she'd like to use her knowledge of the game to get into coaching collegiately whenever she does decide to call it quits.
Giving back is something Allen aims to do each time she travels back to Monessen.
On June 28, she will hold her sixth annual Charel's Basketball Camp and Highlight Game at the Monessen High School gymnasium.
From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., kids ages 6 to 16 can learn from Allen and a number of guests and work on skills including shooting, ball-handling, defense, passing and rebounding. Terry Smith, who is from New York and plays professionally for the Jolly JBS in the Croatian league in Europe, will be the guest speaker. Cost is $20 if registered by June 18. Walk-ins are welcome, with a $25 fee at the door.
The annual highlight game gives Mon Valley fans the opportunity to see Allen play with special guests including Smith, former Greyhounds Brandon Jackson and Tim Tyree, Clairton's Rashawd Hattten, Ringgold's Ashley Campbell, and former Charleroi Area and European professional Eli Obade.
She also chooses the winner of the Charel Allen Character Scholarship, a $250 award to a Monessen senior who demonstrates great character and is "just a great person." This year's winner was Justice Rawlins.
"To me, it's very important to give back to my community," Allen said. "I don't get any money from the camp. I donate it to the girls' basketball program here and other charitable causes. I do it because that's what I feel like I need to do."
For more information on the camp or to get an applicaton, contact Allen directly at 724-288-6706 or Rotina Johnson at 724-263-0157.

Police say an HIV-positive Ypsilanti man has been charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy he met through an annual Christmas dinner he sponsored.
Fifty-three-year-old Leonardo Devinci Christian was arraigned Friday on multiple charges, including one count of sexual penetration with an uninformed partner when there's risk of AIDS, a felony that carries a maximum penalty of four years in prison.
He remains held in the Washtenaw County Jail on $50,000 cash bond.
Police don't know whether the boy is infected with the HIV virus.
Court officials didn't immediately know if Christian had a lawyer.
Police say the assaults began in 2011 when the boy was 13, and ended last month.
AnnArbor.com reports police interviews with the boy revealed numerous assaults at Christian's home.
Police say the relationship started when Christian gave the unidentified boy and his family free tickets to the dinner he sponsors.

Sally Ride's death after a 17-month battle with pancreatic cancer has brought to light a less-reported fact about the first American woman in space: her long-time relationship with female partner Tam O'Shaughnessy.
An official statement from Sally Ride Science named O'Shaughnessy as the 61-year-old Ride's partner of 27 years. She is also identified in a short bio on Sally Ride Science's official website simply as the company's Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President for Content.
"She oversees the development of Sally Ride Science's classroom books, teacher guides, and educator institutes," the bio also notes. "In addition, Dr. O'Shaughnessy is the author of 9 science books for children, including 'Our Changing Climate: Ecosystems' and 'The Third Planet' (co-authored with Sally Ride), which won the American Institute of Physics Children's Science Writing Award."
Few details about Ride's relationship with O'Shaughnessy have since emerged, but an interview with the couple, found on the Sally Ride Science site, describes their early bond:
"Sally Ride and Tam O'Shaughnessy became friends at the age of 12 when they both played tennis. While their lives took different paths, they stayed in contact over the years. Ride went to Stanford University, earned a BS, an MS, and a PhD in physics, and became the first American woman to fly in space; O'Shaughnessy became a professional tennis player and later earned a BS and an MS in biology from Georgia State University and a PhD in school psychology from the University of California–Riverside."
It is believed Ride never publicly addressed her sexuality prior to her death, and as a New York Times article notes, her longtime journalist friend Susan Okie is said to have described the physicist as "elusive and enigmatic" and "protective of her emotions" in a 1983 Washington Post profile.
A quote attributed to Ride and published in the same Times article also hinted at her need for privacy. "It's no secret that I've been reluctant to use my name for things," she said. "I haven't written my memoirs or let the television movie be made about my life."
In 1982, Ride married fellow astronaut Steven Hawley; that union ended in divorce in 1987, ABC News reported.
UPDATE: In an interview with Buzzfeed, Bear Ride, who referred to O'Shaughnessy as "a member of the family," said of her sister Sally, "People did not know she had pancreatic cancer, that's going to be a huge shock. For 17 months, nobody knew -- and everyone does now. Her memorial fund is going to be in support of pancreatic cancer."
Describing her sister as a very private person, Bear also noted, "The pancreatic cancer community is going to be absolutely thrilled that there's now this advocate that they didn't know about. And I hope the GLBT community feels the same. I hope it makes it easier for kids growing up gay that they know that another one of their heroes was like them."
Take a look at other celebrities who have identified as LGBT below:
New York Times scribe Patrick Healy confirmed "The Big Bang Theory" star's sexuality as part of a profile. The revelation came late in the article, when Healy describes the 39-year-old actor's role in the 2011 revival of Larry Kramer's HIV/AIDS crisis drama, "The Normal Heart." Wrote Healy: '"The Normal Heart" resonated with him on a few levels: Mr. Parsons is gay and in a 10-year relationship, and working with an ensemble again onstage was like nourishment, he said." Though the Times didn't identify Parsons' partner, he has been romantically liked with art director Todd Spiewak (pictured).
"Secrets of a Restaurant Chef" host Anne Burrell confirmed she's a lesbian and in a committed relationship with a woman, just days after "Chopped" host Ted Allen made a reference to her sexuality in a radio interview. "Anne doesn't feel she was outed," Burrell's rep told Page Six. "She has made no secret of her relationship." The rep went on to note, "Her significant other is a very private woman. They have been together for a couple of years and spend a lot of time together."
The 34-year-old "White Collar" hunk thanked his partner Simon Halls and his three children during Saturday's Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards, where he received the New Generation Arts and Activism Award for his work in the fight against HIV/AIDS. "I'd really especially like to thank my beautiful family: Simon, Kit, Walker, Henry," he told the crowd. "Thank you for teaching me what unconditional love is. You will always be my proudest accomplishment."
The "X-Files" actress revealed she's had numerous relationships with women in a 2012 interview with Out magazine. The 43-year-old mother of three, who's long enjoyed a sizable lesbian fanbase, told Out that she first had a relationship with a woman while still in high school, after moving from her native England to suburban Michigan. "If I had thought I was 100 percent gay, would it have been a different experience for me?" Anderson, who was voted "Most Bizarre" and "Most Likely to Be Arrested" in high school, ponders. "Would it have been a bigger deal if shame had been attached to it and all those things that become huge life-altering issues for youngsters in that situation? It's possible that my attitude around it came, on some level, from knowing that I still liked boys."
The New Kids On The Block singer was out-ed by fellow '80s teen pop star Tiffany in January 2011 when she revealed she dated Knight before "he became gay later." In response, Knight posted a message on his website stating in part: "I have never been outed by anyone but myself! I did so almost twenty years ago. I never know that I would have to do it all over again publicly just because I reunited with NKOTB! I have lived my life very openly and have never hidden the fact that I am gay!"
DeGeneres came out in 1997, both in real life and on TV, on her sitcom "Ellen." "The Puppy Episode," which aired in April 1997, featured a who's who of Hollywood, including Oprah Winfrey, Demi Moore, Billy Bob Thornton, and Laura Dern as Ellen's love interest. DeGeneres's character became the first openly gay prime time character on television.
Long rumored to be gay, the actor, most famous for his roles on "Heroes" and in the recent "Star Trek" film, came out in a October 2011 New York magazine profile, saying: "In light of Jamey's [Rodemeyer] death -- it became clear to me in an instant that living a gay life without publicly acknowledging it -- is simply not enough to make any significant contribution to the immense work that lies ahead on the road to complete equality. Our society needs to recognize the unstoppable momentum toward unequivocal civil equality for every gay lesbian bisexual and transgendered citizen of this country."
In an interview with Rolling Stone in October 1976, the rock star came out by saying, "There's nothing wrong with going to bed with somebody of your own sex. I think everybody's bisexual to a certain degree. I don't think it's just me. It's not a bad thing to be. I think you're bisexual. I think everybody is."
After becoming a father in August of 2008, the "American Idol" runner up came out on the cover of People magazine in September 2008 saying, "[Coming out] was the first decision I made as a father... I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn't raised that way, and I'm not going to raise a child to do that."
The comedian and actress came out in November 2008 while speaking at an anti-Prop 8 rally in Las Vegas. Sykes said in part: "I got married Oct. 25, I don't really talk about my sexual orientation, I felt like I was living my life, I wasn't in the closet, but I was just living my life. Everybody who knows me personally, they know I'm gay. And that's the way people should be able to live our lives, really. We shouldn't have to be standing out here demanding something we automatically should have as citizens of this country."
In March 2009 pop star Ricky Martin posted a message on his website telling the world, "I am a fortunate homosexual man."
Country singer Chely Wright came out in May 2010. She told People magazine, "There had never, ever been a country music artist who had acknowledged his or her homosexuality... I wasn't going to be the first." But she changed her mind and said of her decision, "Nothing in my life has been more magical than the moment I decided to come out."
After being caught performing a "lewd act" in a public restroom, Michael came out to CNN in April 1998. Michael said, "This is as good of a time as any... I want to say that I have no problem with people knowing that I'm in a relationship with a man right now. I have not been in a relationship with a woman for almost 10 years." Later that year Michael spoofed the incident in the music video for his single "Outside."
The CNN news anchor came out to the New York Times in May 2011. Lemon told the paper, "It's quite different for an African-American male... It's about the worst thing you can be in black culture. You're taught you have to be a man; you have to be masculine. In the black community they think you can pray the gay away."
The singer's sexuality was always a topic of discussion for viewers when he was performing on "American Idol," but Lambert didn't come out until after the competition had wrapped. In a June 2009 Rolling Stone cover story, Lambert said, "Right after the finale [of "AI"], I almost started talking about it to the reporters, but I thought, 'I'm going to wait for Rolling Stone, that will be cooler,'.. I didn't want the Clay Aiken thing and the celebrity-magazine bullshit. I need to be able to explain myself in context."
When asked by an Internet talk show who she was looking to date in April of 2009, "Top Gun" star Kelly McGillis answered "Definitely a woman," and added, "I'm done with the man thing. You need to move on in life."
The "Doogie Howser, MD" and "How I Met Your Mother Star" came out on the cover of People magazine in November of 2006. Harris told the magazine: "The public eye has always been kind to me, and until recently I have been able to live a pretty normal life. Now it seems there is speculation and interest in my private life and relationships. So, rather than ignore those who choose to publish their opinions without actually talking to me, I am happy to dispel any rumors or misconceptions and am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest and feel most fortunate to be working with wonderful people in the business I love."
Chaz Bono revealed his plan to transition in May 2009. TMZ.com broke the story via a prepared statement from Bono's publicist that read, in part: "Yes, it's true -- Chaz, after many years of consideration, has made the courageous decision to honor his true identity... He is proud of his decision and grateful for the support and respect that has already been shown by his loved ones. It is Chaz's hope that his choice to transition will open the hearts and minds of the public regarding this issue, just as his 'coming out' did nearly 20 years ago."
The "Glee" actor came out on the "Chelsea Lately Show" in December 2009: Chelsea Handler: "Your character on the show's gay. We know that you're gay. That's good for you. Congratulations. Don't be shy about that. Seriously. You shouldn't be shy about that because every time...an actor like you is helping a zillion other people that are scared to talk about their sexuality so good for you." Chris Colfer: "Thank you. You know what my answer to that question was prior to coming out -- was that I was straight as every other actor in Hollywood."
In December 2009 Baxter, most famous for playing Elyse Keaton on '80s sitcom "Family Ties," went on the "Today Show" and told Matt Lauer that she was a lesbian. Baxter said, "Some people would say, well, you're living a lie and, you know, the truth is -- not at all. This has only been for the past seven years."
The 'N Sync pop star came out on the cover of People magazine in July 2006. When asked why he decided to come out then, Bass said, "The main reason I wanted to speak my mind was that (the rumors) really were starting to affect my daily life. Now it feels like it's on my terms. I'm at peace with my family, my friends, myself and God so there's really nothing else that I worry about."
The actress, perhaps best known for her role as tormented teen Dawn Wiener in the film "Welcome To The Dollhouse," came out in August 2004 by telling the NY Daily News about falling in love with Caroline Murphy: "I met the person I'm so madly crazy in love with...She's not famous yet. She will be. She wants to do musical theater and stage, which is not as demoralizing as the movie business is."
The rock star came out in January 1993 during the Triangle ball, the first ever ball thrown for the LGBT community during a president's inauguration, in this case Clinton's. Etheridge recalls: "I didn't even think, Oh, I'm going to come out here...It was, 'Gee, I'm really excited to be here, and I'm really proud to have been a lesbian all my life.' And a big cheer went up through the whole hall, and k.d. [lang] came out and hugged me. I remember walking back, and my friend said, 'I think you came out!'"
The former Savage Garden front man came out by marrying Richard Cullen in June 2006. He announced the civil union on his website saying in part: "As so many of you have given me your heart and soul over the past 10 years I thought it only fitting that I too return the respect and inform you of the most significant event in my life... On June 19th 2006 I married my boyfriend of two years, Richard, in a Civil Partnership ceremony in London."
In May 2010 the British rapper came out in Diva magazine. Sovereign said: "Magazines would always ask about it but [questions about my sexuality] would get stopped by my publicists. It was my choice, too, because I was a bit worried about it but now I don't really give a shit. You can't hide away forever. It's just stupid and now I've come out I feel a lot more comfortable with myself. But it was a bit scary back then because some people do have horrible opinions."
The comedian and talk show host came out by revealing "I'm a dyke!" during her stand up act at the Ovarian Cancer Research benefit at Carolines Comedy Club in February 2002.
The actress had been out to friends for quite some time, but she told the entire world in the fall of 2005 in interviews with Details magazine and The Advocate. "I've had my years of being not open, many years of it... It's an honor for me to do this; it's just nice to be asked," de Rossi said in her September 2005 Advocate cover story, her first with the gay press.
Long dogged by rumors about his sexuality, the "Will and Grace" actor finally came out in The Advocate in April 2010: "I am who I am. I was never in, as they say. Never," he said.
The "Sex And The City" star was out-ed in 2004 when the NY Daily News and the New York Post reported she was living with another woman in September 2004. Nixon half-heartedly confirmed the rumors when she told the Daily News, "My private life is private... But at the same time, I have nothing to hide. So what I will say is that I am very happy."

In one of the most emotion moments I'd ever seen shared with some 5,000 people, Joss Whedon held back tears trying to come up with something to say when he was asked how he felt about fandom.

|How to run a heart surgical unit: experiences during the first year of the Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, University Clinic of Regensburg.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 9128124 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The heart surgery unit in Regensburg was opened in June 1992. A cost analysis was done for the first year, thru May 1993 with respect to facilities, output and wages. Facilities were divided into rooms, beds and personnel. The number of rooms was constant throughout the reporting period whereas beds and personnel increased continuously. Particularly the nursing staff was expanded to meet the rising demand. A direct consequence of this progressive personnel policy was that the personnel costs also increased continuously. 644 operations were done, 542 with and 102 without a heart-lung-machine. The number of operations using a heart-lung-machine rose from 18 per month in June 1992 to 59 in May 1993. The average length of hospitalization was 13.6 days. The cost of wages per month rose from DM 166,000 initially to DM 378,000. The cost of wages per hospitalization day, however, sank from DM 740 to DM 393. Distributing non-assigned costs to the cost objects in the same relationship as assigned costs, costs per hospitalization day were as follows: Intensive care unit DM 1,233 and care unit S43 DM 193. The cost of wages per operation was estimated at DM 1,553.

'The Bachelor': Was AshLee telling the truth about Sean or not?
I usually look forward to The Women Tell All installment of "The Bachelor," though I'm not quite sure why. As much as ABC hypes the crap out of it, and as many times as Chris Harrison promises the most exciting/most stunning/most whatever moment ever, it's usually just some warmed over clips, some testy moments and much ado about not very much at all. As heated as things get during the season, by the time the women and the bachelor are trapped on a soundstage together for this episode, most of the fire has died down to a low simmer of resentment. The most hated woman is lightly chastised, then dismissed. The rejected flames get weepy, but say they're over it. Well, most of them do, anyway.
Last night, all seemed to be going according to plan -- at first. Tierra was taken to task for her rudeness and, clearly realizing she wasn't smart enough to win against superior logic and the pesky truth, apologized insincerely to the other women, that eyebrow wiggling away like a live eel. Unimpressed but unwilling to waste any more energy or lipgloss on Tierra, the women accepted her feeble apology just to speed things along.
Next, we had the trail of tears. Sarah sits in the hot seat and squirms as she has to watch old footage of herself falling in love and being dumped. She still doesn't understand why guys string her along, then dump her. That includes Sean. Des is more sanguine. No, her brother didn't help matters, but hey, she's moved on. Sean is happy for her, she's happy for Sean, it's all cool.
Then, we have AshLee. Although her new hair color does look quite fetching, that doesn't save everything from going to hell in a handbasket. I wonder if she went to a salon and asked them for the exact shade of blonde that would make an ex-boyfriend quiver with regret.
AshLee, who refused to speak to Sean as she stomped to her exit limo, has no problem talking this time around. Sure, she's over Sean (not really), but she doesn't understand why he dumped her. Oh, AshLee, he just wasn't that into you. Isn't that reason enough? No, no it's not. Sean misrepresented himself to her! He was a Southern gentleman to her, but a frat boy with the other girls. I would say AshLee got the better deal for the season, but she feels betrayed. Okay, fine. We all knew AshLee was going to get her feelings hurt, so it's no surprise she's not exactly Zen about all this.
Then, Sean comes out, so happy to see his harem of women. He has wonderful, warm thoughts about all of them! Yeah, that's not exactly reciprocated. And, though AshLee pretends to be in a sweet, forgiving headspace, she might as well come at Sean brandishing a sword and a container of rat poison.
AshLee, who admits she couldn't think of a thing to say to Sean when he dumped her, now has many, many things to say with Sean. Most of these things start with the word "why." Why did he tell her he wanted her to meet his family? Why did he tell her he'd say "I love you" every day once he was able to say the words without a show producer shutting him down? Why is he a rank sumbitch who deserves a spanking by her adoptive parents, who are probably mad enough to do it as part of a Very Special Episode of "The Bachelor," probably titled "The Bachelor: Retribution." Why, why, why, WHY?
Sean tries to answer her questions, which only inspires AshLee to reframe the same question (WHY DID YOU DUMP ME???) in a new way, over and over and over again. He tries to tell her he knew what she went through because he went through it with Emily. But if he knew what she went through, why didn't he check on her? Because that would have made things worse. But isn't he a gentleman? Yes, but it still would have made things worse. But why didn't he send her home as soon as he realized he didn't love her? Why, why, WHY? AshLee makes me feel sorry for all men who have ever dumped a woman for any reason. I sort of want Sean to stand up, rip off his mic pack and shriek, "LOOK, I CHANGED MY MIND! WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?," then storm off the stage. Because I wouldn't blame him after a certain point.
Finally, AshLee decides to pin Sean against the ropes with a nasty little nugget that is almost hard to believe. Sean (allegedly) told AshLee he felt absolutely nothing for Catherine or Lindsay, which is why AshLee was sure she was the one he would propose to.
As AshLee says this, Sean's eyes dart nervously left and right as if he's having a small stroke or trying to speed read. He absolutely denies this. AshLee absolutely remembers this. And here we have one of the most awkward, weird, unpleasant moments ever on a series that lives for exactly that. AshLee rephrases what Sean said, but won't give. He told her the other two women basically meant nothing to him. Or so she says.
This is the ultimate he said/she said, and neither one of them gives an inch. Finally, we head to a blooper reel and a montage of poignant dog pictures in tribute to Magic (2004-2013), who apparently belonged to somebody on the show. It's a little weird, as you see these types of tributes to dead people but not usually dead pets, and I'm thinking this could definitely drag out the Oscar memoriam segment if it becomes a real trend, but never mind. I'm still thinking about AshLee and Sean's Big Possible Lie.
If Sean did tell AshLee the other two girls weren't even on his radar, and said it on their overnight date, well, I've clearly been reading Sean wrong all season long. Maybe, as Des' brother said, he's a playboy. But (and I hate to shoot the messenger) I have to wonder if AshLee just misinterpreted something Sean said. There's no way we'll ever really know what happened. But if AshLee ends up being named the next "Bachelorette" (I'm expecting the show to go with the more likable Des), I'd be curious to see how she kicks guys to the curb. Probably very, very honestly.
Do you think AshLee was telling the truth? Or Sean? Or is the truth somewhere in between?
