Bobby has cancer, JR is depressed and John Ross and Bobby start a war.
An oil crane is set up on the fields of Southfork Ranch. Elena picks up a reading and wakes up John Ross. They eagerly await the oil popping the top of the crane and when it does they all celebrate with the crew. It is flowing at 10,000 barrels. John Ross and Elena kiss. He has staked everything on this. Later, they all celebrate at a bar and John Ross gifts everyone a weekend getaway on him. He passes some money to one of them under the table for not telling Bobby he was drilling on South Fork. In an alley out back, John Ross meets up with a mystery person and tells them to hope for the best, prepare for the worst and to stay tuned.
Bobby's doctor meets him in his office and tells him he has a rare form of cancer. He needs to start oral chemotherapy right away. Bobby does not want his family to know. His son is getting married and he has family business to attend to before anyone knows he is dying. At the ranch, Bobby rides a horse across the property. He goes inside and speaks with his wife Ann about visiting China and going on a cruise. He wants to do something for her for once. They kiss.
At the country club, Christopher pulls out frozen methane for a potential investor. The shore line contains more energy than all the oil and gas on earth combined. The investor and his partner are in – at 90/10 split, take it or leave it. He leaves it and his fiancée Rebecca walks up. They run off and start making out in the locker room where they are recognized by someone who suggests they save something for the honeymoon.
Bobby visits JR in the assisted living facility. He has clinical depression. Bobby pulls up a chair and tells him their fights changed him in ways he doesn't like. He wants their sons to have a chance at being family without all the bitterness and bad blood. He misses him and still loves him. He leans in for a kiss, then leaves.
At the ranch, Christopher tells his dad he turned down the investor's offer and Bobby wonders why he won't take money from him. At dinner, Elena encourages John Ross to tell Bobby about the oil when he offers Elena up to be a bridesmaid for Rebecca and Rebecca insists. Sue Ellen asks Bobby if he has seen JR, and Bobby encourages John Ross to go before it is too late. Bobby stands up to say something. He is selling Southfork. John Ross tells him to get in his truck and come with him. At the drill site, Bobby is livid. He is sick of the family devouring themselves over money. He promised Ellie there would be no drilling on Southfork. John Ross and Christopher fight before Bobby pulls them apart. There will be no drilling.
At home, Rebecca fixes Christopher up. He thinks John Ross is using Elena. Elsewhere John Ross tells Elena that Bobby forced his hand. Bobby and Christopher are in their office with lawyer Mitch when they are served with injunction papers from John Ross. The grounds: mental instability. Bobby is going to give John Ross the fight of his life. Later, Bobby has papers served to John Ross to stop drilling.
Elena meets Rebecca at the bridal salon. She tells Elena she met Chris when he was a boy running away from home. She knows Elena wishes the best for him and she is going to make him happy.
At work, Christopher video chats with his partner in China. There has been a big disaster and their work is not safe. A lab tech overhears and leaves. Later, Bobby wakes up at home and Ann gets him something for his stomach. She sees an intruder and grabs a shotgun. He gets away but she finds Bobby's chemo drugs. She looks them up online and realizes he has cancer and she cries. The intruder goes to Christopher's lab and downloads something.
John Ross visits JR at his facility and tells him Bobby kicked him off the ranch. He hit a 2 billion barrel reserve but Bobby won't let him drill. Selling it to a conservancy is BS, since he is going to turn around and give the money to Christopher for his alternative energy. And he is not even a Ewing. JR speaks. Bobby was always a fool. He grabs John Ross grabs him and forgives him for not visiting.
Outside Southfork, John Ross asks Elena to spy on Christopher. They are outsiders and will always be. She agrees and goes in. She sees the website about the China accident and he tells her everything. She wants him to be happy and is sorry about his work. She leaves and reports to John Ross they only talked about the injunction and wedding.
The ranch is set up for the wedding. Bobby shows Marta from the land conservancy and he shows her around. Christopher wants to talk to Bobby before he does anything. Later, John Ross looks at the disk and realizes Christopher's work is dangerous. He tells Christopher to get Southfork off the market of he will expose him as a fraud. Christopher finds Elena and accuses her of telling John Ross, but she didn't. She accuses him about the email he sent her on their wedding day calling it off, but he did not send it. He goes outside and grabs John Ross, accusing him of sending it. Then he tells Bobby about the danger and does not want him to sell for his sake. But Bobby tells Marta he is moving forward and John Ross is livid. Christopher and Rebecca get married and after he shares a look with Elena. Everyone is happy in that moment.
John Ross gets drunk and visits JR in the facility. He introduces Marta and JR tells him her daddy and him go way back. John Ross realizes she has been working he the whole time. JR is a trustee to the will, and he belongs on Southfork. It is his, only his. Bobby might not be stupid but he is a hell of a lot smarter. Outside, a mystery car from the alley approaches. It is Marta, meeting him at Cowboy Stadium. It appears these two have been working together. They Kiss.
Hollie's Take:
I was born n 1978, the same year "Dallas" premiered. I was vaguely aware of it as I was growing up, but didn't really get my footing in Primetime soaps until "Beverly Hills, 90210" was new to the scene. But when "Dallas" was coming back, I knew I had to brush up and I was not disappointed. I immersed myself in old episodes and pretty much thought the new version could not live up. I was wrong. The continuation of old storylines is seamless, JR is just as amazingly bad as always and the new generation is already offering up plenty of intrigue. In two words: Love it!

Nature's Top Comebacks in Maine
Reasons for Thanks:
By Misty Edgecomb
Decades ago, few would have predicted that bald eagles and osprey would be a common sight over the Kennebec and Penobscot rivers in the 21st Century. But as The Nature Conservancy celebrates its 60th anniversary this fall, raptors are among the great success stories of modern conservation.
Here in Maine, our once-industrial rivers again support spring fish runs and summer paddlers. Our forests have rebounded to cover an acreage that hasn't been seen in generations, from the coastal pines to the North Woods. And forest species like beaver and wild turkey and have rebounded in response to reduced trapping pressure while wild turkey reintroductions have successes beyond anyone's imagination.
"These comeback stories are really inspiring," said Mike Tetreault, executive director of The Nature Conservancy in Maine. "It's amazing how resilient nature can be, with a little help from conservationists."
You can help ensure more nature comebacks in Maine by becoming a monthly giver.
It's fast, reliable and paperless!
5. Georges Bank haddock: Long a traditional species for New England fishermen, haddock are among the Northwest Atlantic's great comeback stories. Driven to near collapse in the early-1990s, the spawning population of haddock has seen a ten-fold increase in the past two decades, thanks in large part to conservation measures adopted by regional managers and fishermen. The recovery of the haddock population has directly benefited U.S. and Canadian fishermen, with landings increasing from about 2,400 metric tons in 1995 to over 21,000 metric tons in 2005. Stewardship of the haddock resource through sustainable fishing practices will help ensure a robust population and continued economic opportunities in the future.
4. Wild turkey: This native forest bird had disappeared from Maine by the 1800s, but since reintroductions and habitat improvements began in 1942, the statewide population has grown to 50,000 to 60,000, according to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
3. Alewife: This spring more than a million river herring migrated up the Kennebec River, more than a decade following the removal of the Edwards Dam. Decades of water quality improvements set the stage, and efforts to restore fish passage. Now, conservationists are anticipating a similar recovery following the completion of the Penobscot River Restoration Project in the coming years.
2. Forests: Maine is more forested today than it was a century ago, and nearly as forested as it was in the 17th Century. Nearly 90 percent of Maine's land is now forested.. New England's forests are quite young, on average, and the recent State of Nature report reveals that they're bisected by hundreds of miles of roads, but they've made a remarkable recovery. And with working forest easements and other incentives and proactive steps to keep these forests, they can meet the needs of people and wildlife for centuries more.
1. Bald eagles: A common sight in the Debsconeag Lakes Wilderness Area, Acadia National Park, Kennebec Estuary, Cobscook Bay and even in some of Maine's biggest cities, bald eagles, osprey and peregrine falcons made an amazing comeback after DDT, a pesticide that caused their eggs to develop thin shells, was banned in 1972. More than 400 breeding pairs of bald eagles now live in Maine, according to state biologists, up from perhaps 30 in the early 1960s.

Hi Guys
I am from Denmark and is pretty much unexperienced in Bourbons. Been drinking Single malts for years, but my initial ventures into bourbons made me leave that area again as I didnt really like it. Well maybe my palate has changed or I just hold on some good stuff!
I really liked GTS and a rye called Bitter Truth Rye which made me start looking out more for quality bourbons and ryes (I plan to try other american whiskies as well). Recently a convinced a friend to bring some bottlings back from High West, which we will share, I really look forward to try those!
Meanwhile I'll be lurking and learning here

She was 84. The two-time Emmy winner, who suffered from advanced dementia, died this morning at home, her son told the AP. "She was loved throughout the world in six continents, and if they loved sitcoms in Antarctica she would have been loved on seven continents," her son said. Getty, who was younger than co-stars Bea Arthur—who played her daughter—and Betty White (Rue McClanahan was the fourth) was the last actress added to the cast. She had been rejected twice because she didn't look old enough. In this December 1985 file photo, actresses Estelle Getty, Rue McClanahan, Bea Arthur, and Betty White, from the television series "The Golden Girls," are shown during a break in taping in Hollywood.

UC Davis receives major gift to advance science that addresses California water problems
September 19, 2013
Watershed science that matters
Video (2 min 25 sec)
Videography by Micro Documentaries
The University of California, Davis, will build on its success as a center for problem-solving research on California's critical water issues thanks to a $10 million gift to the Center for Watershed Sciences.
The gift from the S. D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation will enable the Center for Watershed Sciences -- the state's leading academic institute on water management -- to expand its scientific research and public engagement capabilities on the state's increasingly difficult water problems.
These problems include drinking water safety and reliability, flood protection, agricultural production, hydroelectric power, recreational use and the survival of salmon and other native fish species.
"UC Davis has a long history of providing vital scientific and policy support for addressing water problems critical to the health and prosperity of Californians," said Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi. "This support will enable the university to expand this important work and further scientific discovery of this precious and limited resource."
The gift will be distributed over five years to support several of the center's initiatives:
- Advance computer models and databases to better analyze future water conditions and solutions.
- Create a new leadership program for mid-career water professionals in government, industry and nonprofit organizations.
- Hire new faculty and recruit additional professors from across the university to collaborate on interdisciplinary, problem-solving water studies.
- Expand education and outreach programs on California's water problems.
California faces unprecedented challenges managing its limited water supply and maintaining the health of its rivers, lakes and estuaries as the state's population and economy grows, according to the center's scientists. Competing water demands have increased water scarcity, worsened water quality and severely diminished populations of wild salmon and other native aquatic species. Land management, pollution and the spread of invasive species have also hastened the decline of California's native species.
"California's problems will become more challenging as the climate changes and water demands increase," said Jay Lund, director of the Center for Watershed Sciences. "This gift significantly strengthens our ability to stay ahead of potential water crises with forward-thinking insights and innovative solutions."
The Center for Watershed Sciences is an independent, interdisciplinary research organization that combines the talents of biologists, economists, engineers, geologists, hydrologists, lawyers and others to help solve multifaceted water challenges. State officials have long relied on models developed at the center to assess the potential effects of proposed water management actions. The center's scientific research has informed policymakers on several critical water issues, including:
- The ecological health and water supply of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, which provides drinking water for 22 million Californians and supports the state's $27 billion agriculture industry;
- Drinking water safety and nitrate contamination in rural San Joaquin and Salinas valleys;
- Re-operation of dams and floodways to improve survival of downstream species;
- Restoration of California's iconic salmon and steelhead trout runs in the Sacramento, San Joaquin and Klamath river basins.
The San Francisco-based S. D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation said the center is well positioned to address these water management challenges because of its independent, creative and multidisciplinary approach to watershed science and policy.
"The S.D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation and its founder, Stephen D. Bechtel, believe that California can meet the water needs of its cities, farms, and ecosystems, but only if water management is informed by research, grounded in best practice, and enabled by sound policy," said Lauren Dachs, president of the Foundation. "The Foundation is pleased to partner with UC Davis to develop solutions to California's multifaceted water challenges."
The gift from the S. D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation is part of the university's first comprehensive fundraising campaign, The Campaign for UC Davis, which seeks to raise $1 billion from 100,000 donors to advance UC Davis' excellence in scholarship, research and public service.

INDIANA, (WOWO): This afternoon, U.S. Congressman Marlin Stutzman spoke on the House floor after the Senate rejected the House of Representative's latest effort to reach a budget compromise to keep the government running. The following is his speech:
"Mr. Speaker, it seems that only the American people can drag Harry Reid to the negotiating table.
"Back home Hoosiers already know that Washington is fiscally broke but today, after the Senate pushed this country into a shutdown, they also know that Congress is broken.
"The House has sent Harry Reid and Senate Democrats four separate proposals to keep the government open—four. Yet, Senate Democrats have rejected each one of them without offering a single counter-proposal.
"It's clear that President Obama and Harry Reid would rather shutdown the government than even discuss the real-world consequences of ObamaCare.
"The American people don't want the government to shut down and they don't want Washington to saddle them with ObamaCare's tax hikes, job losses, and higher premiums. My colleagues in the House have listened and have acted. It's time for the Senate to respond.
"I'm hopeful that the American people will continue to make their voices heard in Washington. It's time for Senate Democrats to end their politically-motivated obstructionism. It's time for Senator Reid and President Obama to come to the table and talk."

LAS CRUCES — The New Mexico Foundation for Open Government has advised New Mexico State University regents they would violate the state's Open Meeting Act if they negotiated with a presidential candidate over the weekend before publicly announcing their choice.
However, regents chair Mike Cheney said the board doesn't plan to begin negotiations until after they hold a public vote on the chosen candidate, likely Monday afternoon.
The regents announced they will hold a special meeting Monday at 4 p.m. in the Corbett Center. They will hold a closed executive session immediately before to continue discussions on presidential finalists.
"No negotiations will occur" before the Monday meeting, Cheney said.
The NM FOG sent a letter to Cheney Thursday afternoon notifying the regents and the Sun-News of the possible violation if regents began negotiations before publicly voting on and announcing the candidate.
"You cannot offer people a job without voting to offer them a job," FOG Executive Director Gwyneth Doland said.
Violations of the act generally render the actions invalid, State Attorney General spokesman Phil Sisneros said.
The Sun-News, in Thursday's editions, quoted Cheney saying the regents would vote on candidates in a closed session Friday, conduct negotiations over the weekend and announce the board's choice Monday.
Cheney told the Sun-News Thursday that the previous timeline was incorrect.
"There's nothing to be gained by violating the Open Meetings Act," he said.
The act automatically declares open all meetings by boards, commissions and other agencies. Any meeting at which formal action occurs is public under the act.
The act exempts discussions on "limited personnel matters" such as hiring but "is not to be construed as to exempt final actions on personnel from being taken at open public meetings."
Voting on a candidate is a "final action," Doland said.
Example 42 in the Open Meeting Act Compliance Guide references the hiring of a school district superintendent, which is nearly identical to the hiring of a university president, Doland said.
The example states: "A school board meets to consider applicants for the position of superintendent. Discussion of the applicants' qualifications is conducted in closed session but the final decision or vote of the board with respect to hiring one of the applicants as superintendent must be taken in open session."
Negotiations with a candidate cannot occur before the public vote, Doland said.
"They cannot negotiate before Monday at 4 o'clock," she said, "assuming their plan is to vote Monday at 4 o'clock."

The Case of the Vanishing Frogs
Page 4 of 5
Possible Suspects
Though more work must be done to plug the gaps in our knowledge of amphibian declines, these studies allow us to draw an important conclusion: amphibian populations, in far-flung locations, are indeed disappearing even in seemingly virgin environments. The challenge, therefore, is no longer merely to preserve habitat, though that is still a vital task. We must also discover and address the less obvious reasons for the demise of these creatures as well as determine what fate they might portend for other species, including ourselves.
Prominent among the suspects thought responsible for declining amphibian populations, at least in specific locales, include agricultural chemicals and pesticides. In many parts of the world, certain amphibian species have thrived in agricultural areas, taking advantage of artificial water bodies used for irrigation and watering livestock. But the chemicals found in farmland breeding sites interfere with normal amphibian development. Michael Tyler, a biologist at the University of Adelaide in Australia and a board member of the Declining Amphibian Populations Task Force, explains that the problem with some herbicides is not the active ingredient itself, for example glyphosate, but rather a detergent additive that acts as a dispersant or wetting agent. The detergent breaks down the surface tension at the leaf surface to enable spray droplets to completely cover the leaf. However, the agent also interferes with respiration in frogs through the skin and even more so with respiration of tadpoles through gills. Michael Lannoo, a biologist at Ball State University, also points out that some pesticides such as methoprene (used for mosquito control) break down into a compound resembling retonic acid, which has been shown in the laboratory to produce severe amphibian limb deformities that would render individuals incapable of escaping predators.
Other pollutants under investigation are being blamed for more regional amphibian declines. Among the leading culprits for these losses may be acid rain. In fact, researchers have found that almost all amphibian eggs or larvae tested so far cannot survive in water with a pH of less than 4.5. Yet acid rains, commonly in the 3.5 range, can lower the pH of ponds and streams from a normal average of about 7.0 to lethal levels. In fact, acid rain has been identified as a cause of amphibian declines in lakes and ponds in Canada, Scandinavia, and Eastern Europe.
Chief among the candidates likely to be responsible for amphibian declines on an even wider, perhaps global, basis is ozone depletion. Recent studies in Oregon have shown that rising levels of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation resulting from the depletion of the earth's ozone layer have undermined the hatching success of eggs in some native amphibian species. The researchers suggest that other amphibians most likely to be affected by increased UV-B radiation-which, at elevated levels, breaks down the DNA molecule-are those living at cooler, higher elevations and extreme latitudes, where the ozone layer is thinnest but where amphibians must bask in the sunlight to regulate body temperature.
Environmental estrogens may also be responsible for global declines. Researchers believe that these pollutants, which result from the chemical breakdown of pesticides such as DDT, are likely to severely affect the reproductive biology of amphibians, as they have been shown to do in other aquatic organisms, such as fish and alligators. In fact, in laboratory studies, Tyrone Hayes, an endocrinologist at the University of California, Berkeley, found that such environmental estrogens masculinized female Japanese tree frogs, Buergeria buergeri, and feminized male pine woods tree frogs, Hyla femoralis, causing both populations to become sterile. These estrogens, whose molecules do not break down easily in the environment, stockpile in silt on the bottoms of ponds and lakes, where they are ingested by bottom-feeding amphibian larvae. Some of these agents are effective in very small concentrations and are easily wind-borne, making them a global threat regardless of their point of origin.

Nuggets at Mavericks 7:30 Monday: Corey Brewer and Rudy Fernandez come to Dallas
Nuggets at Mavericks
7:30 p.m., American Airlines Center
TV: FSSW; Radio: KESN-FM (103.3), KFLC-AM (1270 in Spanish).
Scouting the Nuggets
They will be playing their season opener and have something in common with the Mavericks in that they aren't quite sure what their playing rotation will look like … Former Mavericks Corey Brewer and Rudy Fernandez, who never actually suited up or even set foot in Dallas, now are Nuggets … Gone are Kenyon Martin, J.R. Smith and Wilson Chandler, all of whom got stuck in China although Martin has escaped … The Nuggets starting lineup isn't exactly full of household names: forwards Danilo Gallinari and Nene, center Timofey Mozgov and guards Ty Lawson and Arron Afflalo … They led the NBA in scoring last season at 107.5 points per game and were 15-1 when scoring 120 or more.
Scouting the Mavericks
They haven't started a season 0-2 since 2006-07 when they were 0-4 before finishing on a 67-11 kick … The Mavericks lost the last three meetings to Denver last season, including a 121-120 heartbreaker at Denver when Afflalo hit a buzzer beater to stop a 10-game Maverick winning streak. It was the only loss in a 19-game run stretching from January to March … They lost both games to Denver in Dallas last season by an average of 9.5 points … Their showing in the opener Sunday left plenty to be desired. The only player who looked unaffected by all the changes was Jason Terry, who had his shot working in the opener Sunday and dropped in 23 points on the Miami Heat. Nobody else in a Maverick uniform looked like themselves.

Stephen King's done it. Ian Rankin's done it. So has Elton John.
What am I talking about? Using a pen name or pseudonym, of course. But why would you want to? Well…
- If you're writing erotica and children's books, you don't want readers mixing up stories about cute, fluffy rabbits with another kind of Rabbit!
- Obviously if you're name is Martha Frump and you're writing steamy romance novels, they might not sell as well as an author called Desiree Fontana.
- If you're writing in a completely different genre, you might use a pen name so readers know that instead of quirky chick lit, they'll be getting a psychological thriller.
- You might want to avoid persecution or discrimination from a subject that's emotive, political, or includes propaganda.
- It can be extremely liberating because you're able to write about something you might not normally do.
I've noticed a lot of authors who use a pen name to distinguish between styles or genres actually mention that they're using a pen name, which, to me, kind of defeats the object. For example, Sophie Kinsella will have on her covers, "Writing as Madeleine Wickham." This may be because traditional publishers have had clauses in their contracts that authors can't write books that compete with each other within a certain time period, so having a pen name may get around that.
So should you use one? Well, the choice is entirely up to you. When I wrote Trafficked: The Diary of a Sex Slave, which is a serious psychological thriller, it was a million miles away from my quirky, funny chick lit, but I decided I didn't want to use a pen name for several reasons:
- As a reader, I don't just like one genre. My reading is eclectic, and I'm sure many other reader's tastes are, too, so I don't think by writing another genre I'll be losing readers. In fact, I think I'd be gaining them.
- I wanted to use my name to do something useful and raise awareness to a subject that is all to often forgotten about. That's the power of being an indie – we can write what we want, when we want.
- I've worked hard to get where I am, and I want to see my name on those covers!
I'm now writing a children's book, and I've decided not to use a pen name again because it won't just be read by children, it will also be read by parents who are reading it to their kids, and if they like my style, they'll also hopefully pick up my adults books, too! Plus, if the children like it, when they get older, they'll also check out my adult books.
If you're thinking of using a pen name, then consider the pros and cons and weigh it up carefully. And if you're called Princess Pom Pom and feel like that name doesn't really suit someone who writes serious astrophysics, here are some tips:
- Pick a unique pen name you like that fits in with the genre of your work.
- Avoid choosing a common name, and I've heard you should go for ones with higher letters in the alphabet such as A-M as it can improve visibility.
- If you want to avoid sexism, you can choose letters to hide your gender like JK Rowling's done (although everyone knows she's a woman now!).
- Research the name to make sure it's not trademarked.
It's your turn in WG2E land! Are you using a pen name? Would you want to?

Several years ago, the federal government spent tens-of-millions of dollars to renourish Panama City Beach.
Offshore sand was pumped in to extend the shoreline. But, the sand also discolored "the world's most beautiful beaches."
This week, the Bay County Tourist Development Council agreed to fund a study to look at several ways to bring new luster to the gray sand.
The study's estimated price tag is $80,000.

OUR OPINION: NSA appears too lax in its own security systems
SAN ANGELO, Texas - First it has to be said — without getting into the morality or legality of its actions — that the National Security Agency's technical prowess was truly impressive in creating programs that vacuumed up information about phone calls originating in the United States, including who called whom and for how long, but also emails, documents, photos, files and contact lists from domestic and foreign computers linked through nine major U.S. Internet companies.
For the time being, we will take the leaders of the intelligence communities' word for it that these highly intrusive and invasive programs have yielded invaluable information in identifying and heading off terrorist attacks. Now that the programs are publicly known, we trust that more concrete proof of such information than has surfaced so far will come to light.
And we hope that the same skill and perseverance the intelligence agencies put into monitoring their own country is being applied to cyberespionage and cyberwarfare, and that our intelligence agencies are not sitting idly by while China and other nations steal our trade secrets, product, particularly weapon, designs and financial information.
However, the ease at which Edward Snowden, 29, a civilian contractor, scooped up some of NSA's most closely guarded secrets indicates an institutional carelessness that shows the security apparatus has learned little if anything from the Bradley Manning case.
Manning was the Army private with a trouble personal history that should have raised all kinds of red flags. In 2010, Manning allegedly downloaded some 250,000 classified diplomatic cables and 500,000 military war logs from Iraq and Afghanistan and turned them over to the foreign-operated WikiLeaks website, an outlet ostensibly devoted to transparency and full disclosure, actions for which he is now standing trial.
Both Snowden and Manning had egos, or else an exceptional ability to rationalize, that evidently allowed them to presume that it was solely up to them to inform the American people what the U.S. government was doing in their name.
And in Snowden's case, especially, they seemed to be able to do so through an almost criminal lack of supervision and controls. According to The Washington Post, Snowden said in a video on the British newspaper Guardian's website: "Any analyst at any time can target anyone. ... I, sitting at my desk, had the authority to wiretap anyone, from you or your accountant to a federal judge to even the president if I'd had a personal email."
Snowden's choice of code name, "Verax," said to mean "truth-teller" in Latin, indicates a certain amount of ego. And when the Post, the newspaper he chose for a leak, wouldn't print his purloined PowerPoint presentation in the time and format he had demanded, he took his documents to the Guardian.
Snowden fled his home in Hawaii, and from Hong Kong, where he seems reasonably safe from swift extradition, he pronounced, "I have no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong," the Guardian quoted him as saying.
Indeed, he seems to feel he has done the American people a favor, saving them from "massive surveillance." Perhaps so, but that is not his decision to make, and it is a defect in our intelligence system that he was in a position to do so.

'Enough is Enough', say Ken Loach and Ilan Pappe
June 18, 2009 § 7 Comments
PULSE Exclusive
The Independent has survived until now because it was wise enough to retain Robert Fisk and Patrick Cockburn. But with the sad decline of Fisk's journalism, the reasons for continuing to purchase it have diminished by half. A short while back we published Ken Loach's response to an Israeli film maker's smears in the Times for his intervention in support of the cultural boycott of Israel to pressure the Edinburgh International Film Festival to return money received from the Israeli embassy. The Murdoch rag has been recently joined by the Independent in welcoming a scurrilous attack on Loach by a Jewish film maker in its pages, and as Loach describes below, the paper subsequently refused to run the response by Ilan Pappe, which we are publishing below.
First, here is Loach: (thanks Frank)
A few weeks ago I was contacted by the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign. They said that the Edinburgh Film Festival had accepted money from the Israeli Embassy to fund travel for a participant. Palestinian artists, academics, trade unionists and many others have called for a cultural boycott of Israel. The reasons are obvious: the continuing oppression of Palestinians by Israel, illegal in many respects, which makes academic or cultural freedom a distant dream.
I support the boycott. I spoke to Hannah McGill, director of the Edinburgh Film Festival, and urged her to reconsider the festival's position, saying that while I did not have a film at Edinburgh this year I would urge other film makers to think twice before attending. It was a respectful and reasoned conversation. I later learned that the festival would fund the travel from other sources.
There was not at any time any suggestion of censorship of any individual. The boycott, as anyone who takes the trouble to investigate knows, is aimed at the Israeli state.
I was then contacted by the Sunday Times in Scotland saying that the Israeli film maker, Tali Shalom Ezer, issued an 'open letter' to me accusing me of racism. In fact this letter was never received, except through the press.
I wrote a reply, which was not published by any of the papers that ran the story.
A few days later there was another attack, this time in The Independent. Gary Sinyor, described as 'a Jewish film maker' by the paper, branded me as 'an extremist, a blackmailer and a hypocrite', in a piece by Anifa Akbar. On the same day the paper also published an article by Sinyor in a similarly abusive vein.
Asked to reply, I said that I did not wish to respond to personal abuse on this level. A letter supporting the boycott was published in the paper later.
I thought it was important to take the debate away from Sinyor's personalized attack and spoke to Roger Alton, the Independent's editor, suggesting a more rational reply. Alton agreed to consider this and, talking to friends, Ilan Pappe, the distinguished, Israeli academic was approached and, very generously, wrote a piece for the paper.
Alton's reply began: "Sorry…can you tell me who you are". Apart from the sheer rudeness of this response, a few moments of journalistic enquiry would have shown why Ilan Pappe is so well qualified to enter this discussion.
After further exchanges, Alton refused to publish Ilan's piece. It is not a matter of suggesting a few amendments or judicious pruning. We all understand the process and sub-editing is expected. No – this is a closing down of the boycott discussion so that the tone is dominated by 'film maker' Sinyor's bilious abuse. However, for those who appreciate a more thoughtful approach, here is Ilan Pappe's unpublished article:
Enough is Enough
If there is anything new in the never ending sad story of Palestine it is the clear shift in public opinion in this country. I remember coming to these isles in 1980 when supporting the Palestinian cause was confined to the left and in it to a very particular section and ideological stream. The post-holocaust trauma and guilt complex, military and economic interests and the charade of Israel as the only democracy in the Middle East all played a role in providing immunity for the state of Israel. Very few were moved, so it seems, by a state that had dispossessed half of Palestine's native population, demolished half of their villages and towns, discriminated against the minority among them who lived within its borders through an apartheid system and enclaved two million and a half of them in a harsh and oppressive military occupation.
Almost thirty years later and it seems that all these filters and cataracts have been removed. The magnitude of the ethnic cleansing of 1948 is well known, the suffering of the people in the occupied territories recorded and described even by the American president as unbearable and inhuman. In a similar way, the destruction and depopulation of the greater Jerusalem area is noted daily and the racist nature of the policies towards the Palestinians in Israel are frequently rebuked and condemned.
The reality today in 2009 is described by the UN as 'a human catastrophe'. The conscious and conscientious sections of the British society know very well who caused and who produced this catastrophe. This is not related any more to elusive circumstances, or to the 'conflict' – it is seen clearly as the outcome of Israeli policies throughout the years. When Desmond Tutu was asked for his reaction to what he saw in the occupied territories he noted sadly that it was worse than Apartheid. He should know.
As in the case of South Africa these decent people, either as individuals or as members of organizations, voice their outrage against the continued oppression, colonization, ethnic cleansing and starvation in Palestine. They are looking for ways of showing their protest and some even hope to impact their government into changing its old policy of indifference and inaction in the face of the continued destruction of Palestine and the Palestinians. Many among them are Jews, as these atrocities are done in their name according to the logic of the Zionist ideology, and quite a few among them are veterans of previous civil struggles in this country for similar causes all over the world. They are not confined any more to one political party and they come from all walks of life.
So far the British government is not moved. It was also passive when the anti-Apartheid movement in this country demanded of it to impose sanctions on South Africa. It took several decades for that activism from below to reach the political top. It takes longer in the case of Palestine: guilt about the Holocaust, distorted historical narratives and contemporary misrepresentation of Israel as a democracy seeking peace and the Palestinians as eternal Islamic terrorists blocked the flow of the popular impulse. But it is beginning to find its way and presence, despite the continued accusation of any such demand as being anti-Semitic and the demonization of Islam and Arabs. The third sector, that important link between civilians and government agencies, has shown us the way. One trade union after the other, one professional group after the other, have all sent recently a clear message: enough is enough. It is done in the name of decency, human morality and basic civil commitment not to remain idle in the face of atrocities of the kind Israel has and still is committing against the Palestinian people.
In the last eight years the Israeli criminal policy escalated, and the Palestinian activists were seeking new means to confront it. They have tried it all, armed struggle, guerrilla warfare, terrorism and diplomacy: nothing worked. And yet they are not giving up and now they are proposing a non violent strategy that of boycott, sanctions and divestment. With these means they wish to persuade the Western government to save not only them, but ironically also the Jews in Israel from an imminent catastrophe and bloodshed. This strategy bred the call for cultural boycott on Israel. This demand is voiced by every part of the Palestinian existence: by the civil society under occupation and by Palestinians in Israel. It is supported by the Palestinian refugees and is led by members of the Palestinian exile communities. It came in the right moment and gave individuals and organizations in this country a way to express their disgust at the Israeli policies and at the same time an avenue for participating in the overall pressure on the government to change its policy of providing immunity for the impunity on the ground.
It is bewildering that this shift of public opinion has no impact so far on policy; but again we are reminded of the tortuous way the campaign against apartheid had to go before it became a policy. It is also worth remembering that two brave women in Dublin, toiling on the cashiers in a local supermarket were the ones who began a huge movement of change by refusing to sell South African goods. Twenty nine years later, Britain joined others in imposing sanctions on Apartheid. So while governments hesitate for cynical reasons, out of fear of being accused of anti-Semitism or maybe due to Islamophobic inhibitions, citizens and activists do their utmost, symbolically and physically, to inform, protest and demand. They have a more organised campaign, that of the cultural boycott, or they can join their unions in the coordinated policy of pressure. They can also use their name or fame for indicating to us all that decent people in this world cannot support what Israel does and what it stands for. They do not know whether their action will make an immediate change or they would be so lucky as to see change in their life time. But in their own personal book of who they are and what they did in life and in the more general harsh eye of historical assessment they would be counted in with all those who did not remain indifferent when inhumanity raged under the guise of democracy in their own countries or elsewhere.
On the other hand, citizens in this country, especially famous ones, who continue to broadcast, quite often out of ignorance or out of more sinister reasons, the fable of Israel as a cultured Western society or as the 'only democracy in the Middle East' are not only wrong factually. They provide immunity for one of the greatest atrocities in our time. Some of them demand we should leave culture out of our political actions. This approach to Israeli culture and academia as separate entities from the army, the occupation and the destruction is morally corrupt and logically defunct. Eventually, one day the outrage from below, including in Israel itself, will produce a new policy – the present American administration is already showing early signs of it. History did not look kindly at those film makers who collaborated with McCarthy or endorsed Apartheid. It would adopt a similar attitude to those who are silent about Palestine now.
A good case in point unfolded last month in Edinburgh. Ken Loach led a campaign against the official and financial connections the city's film festival had with the Israeli embassy. Such a stance was meant to send a message that this embassy represents not only the film makers of Israel but also its generals who massacred the people of Gaza, its tormentors who torture Palestinians in jails, its judges who sent 10,000 Palestinians – half of them children – without trial to prison, its racist mayors who want to expel Arabs from their cities, its architects who built walls and fences to enclave people and prevent them from reaching their fields, schools, cinemas and offices and its politicians who strategise yet again how to complete the ethnic cleansing of Palestine they began in 1948. Ken Loach felt that only a call for boycotting the festival as whole would bring its directors into a moral sense and perspective. He was right; it did, because the case is so clear cut and the action so simple and pure.
It is not surprising that a counter voice was heard. This is an ongoing struggle and would not be won easily. As I write these words, we commemorate the 42nd year of the Israeli occupation, the longest, and one of the cruellest in modern time. But time has also produced the lucidity needed for such decisions. This is why Ken's action was immediately effective; next time even this would not be necessary. One of his critics tried to point to the fact that people in Israel like Ken's films, so this was a kind of ingratitude. I can assure this critic that those of us in Israel who watch Ken's movies are also those who salute him for his bravery and unlike this critic we do not think of this an act similar to a call for Israel's destruction, but rather the only way of saving Jews and Arabs living there. But it is difficult anyway to take such criticism seriously when it is accompanied by description of the Palestinians as a terrorist entity and Israel as a democracy like Britain. Most of us in this country have moved far away from this propagandist silliness and are ready for change. We are now waiting for the government of these isles to follow suit.

Many people will agree with the reasoned reply given by Ilan Pappe to these outrageous, defensive criticisms by those who the world watches. Matters are changing, time is showing the Palestinians are gaining the sympathy and support set against the unacceptable behavioural oppression by the Israelies. We had understanding for their horrific experiences but now they impose the same segregation, isolation and ghetto like tactics on the Palestinians and Bedoin. The world is watching and it's only a question of time before realization and justice occurs.
Gary Sinyor, who is he? didn't he make an awful unwatchablemovie about a pig farmer once, and so goddam unfunny. Its no surprise he would attack Ken Loach, does he live in Israel? Wouldn't surprise me either. Or Manchester, take your pick.. Who buys the Independent? It has an office in the evening standard/Daily Mail building, and nobody you would want to read sits in that room.
No doubt my words won't appear on this site because they don't express agreement with the virulent anti-Zionist viewpoint of the boycott protagonists. There is no moral equivalence between what is happening with Israel as it does its best to shelter its Jewish population from rampant hatreds of all descriptions for thousands of years and the actions of oppressive regimes whose survival has never been at stake.
Dialogue is the way = the only way!

I have lived in Israel for over twenty years. I'm ashamed to say , it has taken me that long to realize the truth about this country. The article above is difficult to read but I have to say that I agree with it.The Cultural Boycott has effected me directly but I support it, I would support any non violent protest against the Israeli Government and strongly urge other Israeli's to do the same.Change must come,its long overdue and should be affected by the people of Israel and The Palestinians , we certainly cannot rely on our 'leaders' or foreign governments.While I can express these sentiments in Israel without fear of arrest, I've lost count of the number of times I've been called a traitor, piece of shit..etc..I'm running out of patience with the majority of Israeli's, though I know many,many decent and humane people here, they must start to act now in whatever way they can and according to their conscience.Talk is not enough.

Daylight Saving Time Ends Sunday
Posted By News On October 30, 2009 @ 6:24 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
Carbon monoxide and smoke detector batteries need to be changed at least twice a year, and this Sunday would be a good time. Knoxville Fire Department captain Barry Reynolds says daylight saving time ends this Sunday at 2 a.m., and as Marion County residents set their clocks back one hour, they should change their smoke detector and CO2 batteries. He says it's important to get in the habit of changing the batteries twice a year during the beginning and end of daylight saving time.

The football season is upon us, and the touting of who is number one is evident in the newspaper, on the radio, and by the talking heads on the television. Everyone has his or her own favorite team. Everyone likes to find fault with the officials, and they do miss them occasionally. The replays, however, prove that they make the right call more than ninety-five percent of the time.
I love the boxes that show the umpires' calls in a baseball game. It seems as though they miss a higher percentage than football officials. Believe me, I am not picking on the officials and referees. I played high school athletics, played college basketball, and coached football and basketball for 10 years. And I complained about the officiating as much as anyone.
If you want people to hate you, become a sport's official. They are a genre that people love to hate. Just remember that an umpire, referee, or sport's official must know the rules of the game, keep themselves in proper position to make the calls, and have an eye trained as to what to look for.
And then, they must have the confidence to make the call, and they must take the abuse of players, coaches, and fans that think that they blew the call. There must be an easier way to make a living.
But, one must realize that there must be players, coaches, fans, and, last of all, officials, umpires, and referees. Think about this, the next time you berate an official. If you are so great at knowing the rules, seeing each play in slow motion, and making the right decision, all in the matter of split seconds, quit your day job and go to the officials' school of the sport of your choice.
I am very confident that you will not do that, because I realize that part of being a sports fan is ragging on the officials.
There is, however, one official who never misses a call. His name is Jesus Christ, and He makes the call right every time. And you won't make any headway arguing the call with Him. So, follow the rules of the game and do the best you can. He will forgive your misplays, and keep you in the game of life.

I was saddened to read Janet Murguia's commentary in Sunday's Opinion section (11/4, "La Raza left because it objects to extremism").
Her lack of tolerance of others — and the legal organizations they belong to — does a disservice to those who support minority groups in the city.
The issue that Mayor Mark Funkhouser addressed, as a leader should, was to not give in to blackmail by a small group of intolerant people trying to hold the city hostage to their demands.
La Raza turned its back on an opportunity to host its convention in a great city. They did their cause no favors by throwing dirt on a member of the Kansas City parks board who has done nothing to deserve such treatment.
Rich Delaney
Overland Park
How is it that the National Council of La Raza continues to get such high-level exposure in The Star? Haven't we all had enough of La Raza?
As I wrote previously in a letter to the editor after La Raza canceled its convention: "I hope it's a long time before I hear the phrase La Raza again."
Please, Ms. Murguia, take your own advice and "move on."

Dear Members of the University Community,
I am happy to announce that Ed Dowd '72, a veteran real-estate investor, financier, and CEO, has donated $12 million to Santa Clara University to help build the new art and art history building on campus. The new Edward M. Dowd Art and Art History Building will further expose the undergraduate community to creativity and innovation. With studio space, classrooms, gallery displays, a sculpture garden, and ample space for the community and visiting scholars and artists to congregate, the new building is part of campus plans for a vibrant arts-focused quadrant of the University. We are very grateful that Mr. Dowd has so generously provided this important foundation upon which Santa Clara will build the new home for art and art history on campus.
For more details about Mr. Dowd's gift and the new building, please see the press release.
Michael E. Engh, S.J.
The annual State of the University will be held on Wednesday, February 19, at 4:00 p.m. in the Mission Church. I invite and encourage you to attend the University-wide event as we gather as a community and look towards Santa Clara's future. A focus of my address will be on the great work underway in strategic planning across campus.
To reiterate the message from the Center for Sustainability, Governor Brown declared a drought emergency in California and has asked all Californians to reduce water consumption by 20%. The drought conditions threaten communities across the state, particularly in agricultural areas. To that end I encourage all of us to do our part to cut back where we can in the office and at home.
The Center for Sustainability and our Facilities department have done a great job in the past of leading Santa Clara University in reducing water usage on campus. To learn more about our campus efforts, click here. For tips on reducing water consumption click here.
We have good news to report about our applicant pool for the incoming freshman class. We received just short of 15,000 applications. Of those, over 4,800 applicants applied for Early Action (an increase of 11% over last year) and 207 applied for Early Decision (an increase of 6% over last year). The academic quality of the early applicants was incredibly strong, and as a result, we admitted over 20% more students than last year while increasing the academic profile. Notable is the fact that 100 students deposited in our second year of Early Decision, making up 7.7% of the class. At this early date, our yield overall is excellent, and all indications are that the admittance rate will be more selective than last year to reach a target enrollment of 1300 students in the freshman class. An additional 140 transfers will be selected from an anticipated 900+ transfer candidates.
The hard work of reviewing the great number of applications is still ahead for our admissions team, but the numbers so far suggest another successful enrollment for fall 2014. Thanks are due in large part to our admissions and financial aid teams who have been reviewing a record-number of applications.
On February 24, we have the great honor of hosting His Holiness the Dalai Lama for a public event co-sponsored by the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics and Stanford University's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education. The Dalai Lama will be joined by the CEO of Dignity Health, Lloyd Dean, for a talk, "Compassion, Business, and Ethics: A Dialogue with the Dalai Lama."
Throughout its history, Santa Clara has promoted the critical role of compassion in our graduates and in leaders of all sectors of society. To have the Dalai Lama choose to come to Santa Clara for this important dialogue affirms our commitment to the teaching, learning and practice of compassion, especially here in the heart of Silicon Valley. For paid ticketing, all proceeds from ticket sales will go toward covering the costs of the event. Should there be any surplus, it will be donated to community and charitable organizations. Neither Santa Clara University nor the Dalai Lama will profit from this event. For more information about the Dalai Lama and his visit to Santa Clara, see the website.

No matter what time I come home from work, I am starving and in need of a quick afternoon snack to hold me over until dinner is ready. The boys are the same way and are even asking for a snack on the ride home. I try to stay away from things that aren't nutritional like cookies but I don't always have something in the house that makes perfect afternoon snacks. I am so glad I got the chance to review the Tyson any'tizers boneless chicken wyngz.
Tyson has released 2 new flavors of the any'tizers boneless chicken wyngz: Sweet Garlic Glazed & Mango Habanero. Although we loved the Mango Habanero and thought that it would taste delicious in a quesadilla, we chose to use the sweet garlic wyngz instead. Why? Well, if we planned on sharing the quesadillas with the boys, spicy isn't something they like. Making them also only added another couple of minutes to your cook time so no spending hourse in the kitchen when you can have a quick snack in a couple of minutes.
Sweet Garlic Chicken Quesadillas
- Tyson Any'tizers sweet garlic boneless chicken wyngz (or your favorite flavor)
- Tortillas
- cheese
- your own personal toppings (I like to put cream cheese on my quesadillas)
Prepare your boneless wings as directed and let cool.
Cut chicken chunks into bite size (or smaller) peices.
Place a tortilla on a skillet. Add cheese and chicken peices. Fold over top. Let warm for about 3 minutes then flip to other side. When finished, place on a plate and cut into peices. Garnish with your favorite personal toppings.
So what do you think? Try it with other flavors as well, it gives the quesadilla a different taste anytime, jazzing it up. If you are looking for some tasty chicken to spice up your snacks, make sure to check out the other Tyson flavors! These 2 new flavors are now available at Walmart! Here is my google + story of my shopping experience. You can also follow Tyson on Facebook or twitter.

ABS-CBN re-airs batang langoy episode this Saturday... MMK GOES BEYOND STORYTELLING BUILDS DREAM SCHOOL FOR LESS-FORTUNATE KIDS IN MASBATE Maalaala Mo Kaya will present again this Saturday (June 29) the inspiring story of 11-year-old Rizza Abano (played by Abby Bautista) and her brothers and schoolmates in Isla Mababoy in Masbate who were all so motivated to study even if they had to swim in an open sea just to get to school. Almost a year after ABS-CBN shared the unique journey of the kids, who are now popularly known as batang langoy, many people and organizations--including ABS-CBN--were touched and eventually inspired to help out. Even before the show premiered the batang langoy story, MMK had been actively coordinating with ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya News and Current Affairs to extend assistance to the students in Isla Mababoy. The objective of MMK to build a nearby concrete and permanent school for the kids became an easy task through the united efforts of various groups in ABS-CBN including Lingkod Kapamilya, Sagip Kapamilya, and Pinoy Big Brother, all of which made efforts to raise funds for the project. A lot of other donors gave donations for the \"dream school\" until the total fund reached P1.2 million. With enough help from everyone including the engineering department of the Philippine Army who constructed the additional classrooms, Mababoy Elementary School was finally built last March, in time for the opening of school year 2013-2014. Aside from the new school building, good-hearted donors provided the students with armchairs, books and school supplies. The batang langoy episode also features Arjo Atayde, Lito Pimentel, Ana Capri, Makisig Morales, BJ Forbes, and Crispin Pineda. It was researched by Mae Rose Balanay, written by Mark Angos, and directed by Rechie Del Carmen. Don\'t miss another inspiring TV masterpiece this Saturday in the longest running drama anthology of Asia, Maalaala Mo Kaya (MMK), after Wansapanataym on ABS-CBN.

Free Event teaches DIYers "How to Homebrew"
by Alexis Abel
With more than 28 styles of beer and hundreds of variations, homebrewing your own beer has been embraced by DIYers of all ages. If you're interested in homebrewing, but don't know where to start, the Lincoln Lagers Homebrew Club, Modern Monks Brewery and Misty's Steakhouse will be hosting a "Learn to Homebrew Day" on Saturday, Nov. 12.
Established by the American Homebrewers Association in 1999, "Learn to Homebrew Day" is a way to get new brewers schooled in all that homebrewing has to offer. Lincoln's event will be no different. Beginning at 11 a.m. outside Misty's Steakhouse and Brewery, 200 N. 11th St, members of the Lincoln Lagers homebrew club will start the event with a demonstration of all grain brewing.
Many hobbyists begin brewing through the purchase of a homebrew kit that includes concentrated malt extract. This step allows new brewers to skip the mashing process and head straight to the boil and fermentation stages. Saturday's demonstration will show new and experienced brewers alike how straight forward all grain brewing can be.
Jason McLaughlin, president of the Lincoln Lagers, has been homebrewing for three years and president of the Lincoln Lagers for one. Saturday's event, he said, will show brewers of all experience levels the benefits of joining a homebrew club. Shortly after McLaughlin started homebrewing, a friend invited him to a Lincoln Lagers meeting.
"The beer that they were making was incredible," he said. "It far surpassed anything I had imagined homebrewed beer could taste like. I became a member on the spot."
Improving your beer is just one of many benefits the club can offer, McLaughlin said. Lincoln Lagers welcomes brewers of every level, from weekend hobbyists to professional microbrewers. The club's monthly meetings consist of educational presentations and a tasting portion where members sample each others' beer. About 10 Lincoln Lagers members are also certified judges who can help members find and improve faults in their beer.
Saturday's event will also include an equipment swap, where brewers will have the opportunity to buy, sell or trade their unused brewing equipment. One of the hurdles, McLaughlin said, of starting a homebrewing hobby is purchasing costly brewing equipment.
One of the most rewarding aspects of homebrewing, McLaughlin said, is the thrill of discovery and experimentation. "I love to take a beer I've found commercially and recreate it to a quality that surpasses what I've found, or change it in ways to make it even better."
"Learn to Homebrew Day" will be held Saturday, Nov. 12 outside Misty's Steakhouse and Brewery, 200 N. 11th St., from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The event is free.

Athena - The Ultimate Goddess of Tease
Athena started teasing the world with her huge all-natural breasts back in 2000 on the website TopHeavy.com. For several years, Athena did many erotic photo shoots for the website, revealing her big breasts and deep cleavage. Athena also appeared in a number of poses with several of the other busty women from the TopHeavy site. All the while she was at TopHeavy, Athena had her face blurred to reveal her identity.
Athena's Shows Her Face at NaughtyTeasers
In early 2004, Athena moved from TopHeavy over to a brand new site called NaughtyTeasers.com. The website features Athena and a handful of other sexy busty ladies. Not only does Athena continue to showcase her voluptuous body, but she has also dropped the blurred face. Now admirers can put a face to that sexy body and huge boobs. A quick surf around the NaughtyTeasers website, vistors can find a couple dozen free sample photos of this beautiful woman.
Where is Athena and Her 34GG Boobs Now?
Unfortunately, NaughtyTeasers.com is offline. It isn't clear if Athena will show up somewhere new or not. Hopefully, for Buxomaniacs all around the world, Athena will once again treat everyone to her exquisite beauty and voluptuous curves. And hopefully, you saved a few pictures and videos to your hard drive before she vanished.
