|The purpose of this article is to summarize the methodology, partnerships, and products developed as a result of a distance-based workforce development initiative to improve analytic capacity among maternal and child health (MCH) epidemiologists in state health agencies. This effort was initiated by the Centers for Disease Control's MCH Epidemiology Program and faculty at the University of Illinois at Chicago to encourage and support the use of surveillance data by MCH epidemiologists and program staff in state agencies. Beginning in 2005, distance-based training in advanced analytic skills was provided to MCH epidemiologists. To support participants, this model of workforce development included: lectures about the practical application of innovative epidemiologic methods, development of multidisciplinary teams within and across agencies, and systematic, tailored technical assistance The goal of this initiative evolved to emphasize the direct application of advanced methods to the development of state data products using complex sample surveys, resulting in the articles published in this supplement to MCHJ. Innovative methods were applied by participating MCH epidemiologists, including regional analyses across geographies and datasets, multilevel analyses of state policies, and new indicator development. Support was provided for developing cross-state and regional partnerships and for developing and publishing the results of analytic projects. This collaboration was successful in building analytic capacity, facilitating partnerships and promoting surveillance data use to address state MCH priorities, and may have broader application beyond MCH epidemiology. In an era of decreasing resources, such partnership efforts between state and federal agencies and academia are essential for promoting effective data use.

Download the 'House of Rich' Mix from DJ Russ Rich
When DJ Russ Rich moved from Minneapolis to San Francisco in 1997 he had no idea he'd become one of the "City by the Bay's" most sought-after DJs. But for anyone who has ever heard him spin, his current status as one of San Francisco's elite sound samurais is no surprise.
Inspired by mix masters such as the Freemasons, Victor Calderone, and Tony Moran, DJ Russ Rich always spins cutting-edge sets designed to take the dance floor's happiness to a higher level. (And he succeeds every time.)
His talent, consistency, and perseverance earned him the crown at "San Francisco's Next Top DJ" contest in 2011, as well as the chance to spin on the Main Stage at this weekend's world-renowned San Francisco Gay Pride Festival. (Saturday, June 23rdfrom 3:20pm -4:20pm.)
"I'm beyond excited and a little bit terrified," he said shortly after being booked for SF Pride. "I think it will be the largest crowd I've ever played for."
Nevertheless, this super-spinner's star is on track to shine even brighter.
He's set to headline San Francisco's newest (and hottest) gay dance party, "Sauna," on July 3rd and will achieve a career "dream-come-true" moment when he teams with one of his long-time DJ idols, Phil B., to spin at the fetish-themed party "Bay of Pigs" on Dore Ally Street Fair weekend later in July as well.
"I'm thrilled to get to spin with Phil," Rich said. "It's kind of surreal, actually. I used to hear Phil spin at a party called 'Mass' when I moved to San Francisco back in '97. He consistently blew me away with his mixing abilities and love of great music. To finally get to play a party with him is pretty much as good as it gets for me."
Even if you won't be anywhere near San Francisco this summer, don't worry. You can still lose your mind to the latest sounds of DJ Russ Rich. In honor of Gay Pride month, he's offering Gay.net readers the chance to download the "House of Rich Mix" – a sound-storm guaranteed to set fire to any Pride party.
If you're addicted to good dance music, a DJ Russ Rich mix is the only fix you'll ever need.

I searched and found some old discussion of this topic, but nothing recent. Nothing in bugs, so maybe I'm doing something wrong.
For 1.1.0 b2464 and several beta's previously, on WinXPPro sp3, with dynamic destination set, Copy to Clipboard indicates that the screenshot went to the clipboard, but nothing happens when I try to paste the clipboard into Outlook 2003 or i-view, or Paintbrush Pro. If I select copy to i_view, then copy from there to another application, it works fine. Has nothing to do with having the "copy IEexplorer" box checked or not - doesn't matter. Same problem with non-IE screen shots.
Am I missing a setting somewhere?
Robin Krom
Hi, maybe you changed something on the expert tab? What clipboard settings are currently set?
Best wishes,
Jon Canale
I had tried something in the expert tab, but it had no affect. So it's been unchecked, ie, Greenshot is deciding the format, for some time now.
In addition, Windows capture mode is "Automatically", and I've tried with "Internet Explorer capture" both checked and unchecked with no difference noted. Also, it doesn't matter if I'm trying to capture an ie screen or not.
I just tried copying both ie and non-ie window to the clipboard. Greenshot says it captured the region, but ctrl-v in i_view does nothing. I launched Word 2003, and again ctrl-v did nothing. But I tried Paste Special from the Edit menu, and there was some png info to paste, so I used that and there was the region I just sent to the clipboard. So something is there, but it's not pasting with ctrl-v, and neither of my paint programs see it.
Sorry for the ramble...
Jon Canale
Just tried something else. Clicked "I know what I'm doing" in expert task, and found that only the "png" image was checked. So I checked all but the HTML with inline images and then unchecked the expert mode. Guess what, now it works!
I had assumed that unchecking the expert mode would set the program back to default Greenshot control. I guess it doesn't do this. It leaves whatever was set when working in expert mode. Is this how it's intended to be? What clipboard formats should be checked for normal operation?
Robin Krom
The clipboard is an instrument of mass destruction! It destroys our images and is the worst way of transporting them.
That said... The point is that there is no normal operation, the idea is to place so many formats on it that every applications has something it can work with. Unfortunately a lot of applications take the wrong (read worst) format which usually is the biggest and without transparency...
In other words, it depends on the applications you are using.
But in generall it doesn't hurt to have all checked, except the HTML with inline as a lot of applications don't know what to do with it. As you have it set to...
Best wishes,
Robin Krom
I'll see what I can write for our FAQ and what I can do to prevent wrong settings.
Jon Canale
Thanks. I like that - "The clipboard is an instrument of mass destruction!" So I'll check everything except HTML with inline images.
Hello, its strange that on some systems it works fine, and others not at all. I try to paste from clipboard to paint or Outlook and get nothing. Try to paste to paint, nothing. Fuss with the settings... nothing..... But on some systems, do nothing and it works with everything, including RDP. Now, I can send directly to Outlook and directly to paint with no problems on any system. Weird.
This is with V1.1.7 Build 17 64 bit. Windows 8 Pro... Fix this and I will send money :) Love the program otherwise.
My work around... copy to clipboard - paste to msWord, copy to clipboard, paste to anywhere I want.... Everything selected except html inline

The Star-Crossed Saga: Protostar

Chapter One
Inside the chamber walls of the Capital Building, a young Prince stood approximately ten feet from his sparring partner. Sweat streamed from his forehead as he loosened his grip inside the leathery laced concussion gloves. As the sound of combat rang throughout the morning dawn, the two young men cautiously awaited each other's next move. William was always taught to be patient in these times, holding only a slight lead over his formidable foe, he could easily finish this session off with one well timed blow.
A small crowd began to gather around the outer corridor to take in the entertainment. The Capital Building served as a place of meeting for high level officials and upper class folks, to participate in a number of activities ranging from business meetings, open forums, and dinner parties. But today, a sparring match between two young males was the main attraction. They had just finished a barrage of attacks on one another, exchanging hit counts, until they both grew tired and retreated to their respective corners. They were evenly matched, from head to toe. Similar upper body muscular builds, along with elegant finely-toned lower extremities, grace the rubberized floor of the sparing grounds. Ambition would be his own downfall now, if he became overzealous and went in for the kill too early. He paced around the room heading left, crossing one leg behind the other as he watched his foe, careful not to tangle them amongst each other. His partner had won the last round, making this one sudden death. No prizes were at stake for winning, nothing more than another opportunity to best your friend and have bragging rights until the next match.
Arrion caught his breath. "I think you've got me William. You might as well come in for the last daunting blow."
"You think I'm falling for that one." William laughed, maintaining his cautious stance.
"It worked the last time, why not now? You know what they say, 'Once a fool, always a fool'," Arrion replied.
William shook his fist vengefully. "Oh, you're going to regret that statement soon enough."
Arrion pointed at the score on the display panel overhead. "Surely you are not afraid of me catching you? You have quite a healthy lead over me."
William continued to pace, giving a few fake shoulder leans forward while lunging with his left leg, trying to entice Arrion to take an ill advised swing at him.
"You know William, whatever you run into out there, will not be so kind to your weak advances."
"If you are referring to the Star-child, please destroy me now and save me from another one of your speeches," William said as he pounced forward momentarily, before retreating to his defensive stance.
Arrion dropped his guard, flailing his arms at his side, frustrated by the comment. "You can't be seriously considering moving forward with the challenge William? It's not your fight!"
William seized the opportunity to spring forth. He dove in at Arrion taking a couple of swings, hitting only air as Arrion sidestepped out of harm's way. William used his hands to brace his fall and tuck his body into a full roll. He came to his feet, only to be met by a smarting strike from Arrion in his right shoulder. The concussion gloves deliver marginally dangerous amounts of electromagnetic energy that converts into high frequency sound-waves upon contact. The effects from the blast are more than enough to drop the most seasoned fighter to their knees during a skirmish. This hit, in particular, made a loud muffled sound similar to someone beating a microphone in their hand. It echoed in William's ears as he recklessly spun to his side before crashing into the wall of the narrow room and landing face down on the floor.
"Man, you must not show any aggression. It's always the same with you. I know we've gone over this before. The Master Striker would be very displeased by you. You have to provide something new." Arrion scolded William as he lay still on the rubberized floor.
Arrion reached down to touch William and was met by a scissor kick from William that wrapped around Arrion's waist. William used his arms to thrust backwards like a donkey, flipping Arrion on his back, and then flinging himself on top of his defenseless attacker, kneeling over him with both of his hands holding down Arrion's wrists.
"Is that new enough for you brother?" William asked with a twisted grin on his face.
Arrion struggled to get up, then conceded to that fact that the round was over. William declared the victor.
"That was indeed excellent brother. You got me with that one. Please remember to use that same trickery on your mission. The Star-child will not be so gullible, that I'm sure of."
William stood over Arrion, reaching down with one hand to pull his comrade up from the floor. "I'll remember that. Deception is the ultimate mode of gaining trust. It will come in handy."
The two warriors walked towards the edge of the room, loosening up the straps of the concussion gloves around their wrists. Arrion slowed behind him. William hated times like this; when someone has more to say and was unwilling to leave well enough alone. He turned to Arrion, who was standing with his arms folded at his chest.
William shrugged his shoulders and impatiently dropped his hands to his side.
"You know what."
William answered sarcastically. "Really, I don't know exactly. Why don't you enlighten me, again?"
Arrion placed his hands on William's shoulders. "You don't have to do this. You just got back from that last mission and no one is expecting you to take on another mission so soon—"
"Please. Not now Arrion. Look, I know it's not my job, but this is something that must be done."
"Then take me with you."
"And risk even more shame upon my father? Never have two gone to kill a Star-child. Only one, you know that. This is my burden to bear right now and I will complete my mission this time, even if it kills me." William turned away, ripping the gloves off before slamming them to the floor.
Arrion grabbed him by the arm and turned him back, looking him in the eyes. "Don't speak of such a thing. You are my best friend. I don't like it, but I do understand. You have my support. Good luck tomorrow."
William smiled at his friend. The two exchanged a brief hug and kiss on both cheeks. Then they departed from the room, well aware that is may be the last time they'd spare ever again.
It was a clear, awe-inspiring Friday afternoon in the city of Madisonburg, Tennessee. The small population of approximately forty-seven hundred people were going about their daily routines, mainly educational and small business merchandising, unaware of the phenomenon that was about to erupt in their small town. The city lay southwest to Maryville, with long dusty roads of cinder and dirt connecting local homes and towns. Large grassy plains enveloped the region where farm-life such as cows, pigs, horses and chickens were the norm. Rain very seldom graced the lands here with temperatures ranging between mildly cold to frustratingly hot. But on this day, even a thunderstorm would have been a welcomed visitor.
The setting for today's events was the center of the town; affectionately known as "Town Square". Most kids changed it and called it the "The Square". Oddly, it was actually modeled in the shape of a rectangle. The long sides encompassed multiple buildings with long, deep dimensions that led to the outside parking vistas extending off the main roads. These buildings included local bars, convenience stores, the government building, toys stores, the library and a tattoo parlor. The City Hall, movie theater, bank, and museum, made up the smaller side that lay north and south. The Clock tower, that was an extension of the museum, was the main attraction of The Square. It gonged and clamored predictably every day at noon and midnight with bellowing sounds that seemed to represent the voice of the city itself.
In the center of it all rested the local park. It was a small rectangular structure, with evenly trimmed grassy Knowles and manicured edges. It was here at which the grass met the sidewalk, greeting every bistro daily with emerald green color. Four sidewalks from each corner met in the middle to form a circle with four adjacent benches for seating. Capping off the canvas of green and positioned directly in the heart of the park, meeting the four sidewalks was a fountain. It ran periodically throughout the day. Twelve pumps shooting water synchronously from the floor approximately ten feet into the air making contact with the ground below. The majority of which landed haphazardly around the space prior to being drained and recycled in the irrigation chambers.
On the outskirts of The Square was a small indoor strip mall. Newly constructed about three years ago, it became the second most important place in Madisonburg. Mainly high school kids made it their local hangout, but occasionally older adults would swarm to its thirty or so stores to catch a sale from time to time. It got the majority of its business during the holiday seasons, where electric wreaths would hang from the walls and ceiling, lighting up at night to bring the Christmas and New Year spirit to the local customers.
It was the last week of the summer before school was to resume from the mid-year hiatus, and the community was putting on a bazaar in The Square. Locals were selling household keepsakes, nick-knacks, school supplies, hand me downs, fruits and vegetables. The towns-folk were a mix of families representing all diversities of the United States. There was a sort of kinsman ship among the people that valued good morale ethics and altruism for their fellow man. These types of events always seemed to bring out the best of everyone involved, truly expressing values of loving thy neighbor.
On this beautiful day, Sheriff Henry Gladston was also out, performing his routine patrol of the community. When out of nowhere he heard the sound of something similar to the cracking of a whip on the surface of glass, shattering it into millions of pieces. Within seconds, the sheriff swore he had lost his hearing momentarily as he gazed across the street at the other city locals, looking for some sign that he was not alone in what he heard.
Everyone responded in the same manner. They each stared at each other for some time looking for some indication that the "mute" button will be pressed again. It could only be perceived as thunder, but unmistakably odd in the middle of the afternoon with a Columbia blue shaded sky. For a brief moment, people thought they had gone deaf. The small gathering of innocent bystanders had become overwhelmed with fear.
Without warning the ground moved up and down, at a rhythmical pace, paralleled by the swaying of trees in the town square. The two danced melodiously, the trees following the lead of the ground, to the music of sullenness, which still echoed following the previous incident.
The silence was interrupted by the sound of rattling coming from the overhead clock tower. Their precious clock had become a symbol of security and peace, always a reliable option for managing schedules and appointments. Constructed well before a time of anyone currently living in Madisonburg, it was a symbol of pride to the now tormented people.
Now, the crescendo of the performance had emerged. The face of the clock tower shed free from the structure and came crumbling down to the unsuspecting street below, in a picturesque image mimicking a cookie being dunked in milk with the splash of concrete rising from the surface. The people watched in shock while the earth separated, forming a zigzag configuration that crept forward with steadfast precision towards the people. As the "zigzag" crept onward, it appeared to bring with it the heightening of volume. Although the people were relieved to know that they could once again hear, it was overshadowed by the fear and their impending doom.
Sheriff Gladston had moved quickly-it was a moment that he had somehow been made for, predestined to participate in. He shuffled forward towards the moving fissure, as if trying to figure out if the formidable crack would run away from him if he made himself more visible.
It's coming this way, he thought to himself.
As it persisted on, Henry covered his ears to muffle the roaring sound that had increased by at least three-fold. Realizing that he had already lost the game of "chicken", Gladston decided to play caravan, grabbing two nearby children in both arms and seeking shelter.
Gladston then turned his attention towards a woman that had fallen in the frantic scurry of the crowd. Gauging the distance between the woman and the formidable fissure, he estimated that he could easily make it over to the distressed damsel and back to the sidewalk in time to view the paralyzing episode playing before him. He quickly pounced near her, grabbing her by the arm at first, initially pulling her to stand. The woman screamed when he touched her. It appeared she had injured her ankle. He scooped her up in his sizable arms and high-stepped her to safety.
Gladston began to tire. His body was nowhere near what it used to be. His muscles ached, his head swam, and he felt faint due to the lack of oxygen from his wailing lungs. Carrying over two hundred didn't help the fact that he was a mere shadow of the athletic legend he once was. His bronze complexion reflected the rays of the sun to a shimmering glow in the foreground of the orange-red brick of the local bank. He possessed forearms that bulged through his long-sleeve uniform, buttons attempting to hold fast together, and contain the muscular beasts underneath.
Come on Henry, pull it together man. This ain't much harder than when you wore the uniform of the Madisonburg Eagles. You were a four year letterman of football, track and basketball.
Now, his athleticism would lend itself to an opportunity of heroics. Yes, he had run through opposing defenses effortlessly for touchdown after touchdown, but this was different. There were no timeouts, no convenient flags to call back unfortunate plays. No, he had to make every split decision count if people were to be saved. He always prided himself on being successful with any challenge he faced; the exception being the brief three year marriage to his ex-wife that nearly cost him his job.
After many trips back and forth helping the injured and frightened, Sheriff Gladston took comfort in knowing that everyone was safe and had managed to make it to shelter. In as sudden as the thunder had struck, the fissure had ceased its growth and the earth finally came to rest as if tranquilized by the beauty of the Columbia Blue colored sky. The surrounds of the bazaar had radically changed. Tables were overturned, food lay waste along the sidewalks, tree branches had shaken loose from their foster parent trees, and the only sound that remained were the sobering cries of women and children.
The day was no longer clear or awe-inspiring. Gladston had played his role to an Oscar worthy nomination, resembling a hero from the days of old television. There would be no time for accolades and praise, only a moment to assess the events of the day that had encumbered the people of Madisonburg to a level of torment, frustration and doubt. There had to be answers lying somewhere among the unrest. If not here, there was one place that would have captured the event; the local television broadcast.
Gladston made a bee-line to his patrol car, snatching up his radio.
"Hello, this is patrol car MD84, Gladston calling in. Is anybody there? We've got ourselves a real situation here…do you read me?"
The sound of static crept back over the radio. Frantically, he grabbed the wheel and inserted the key, collecting himself before flooring the gas pedal. He headed towards the police station as sounds of panic echoed in his ears.
I can't do anything to bring them comfort right now, Gladston thought as he surveyed the white washed look of desperation on the faces of pedestrians standing by.
On his way to the station, he was briefly distracted by an image out of the corner of his eye that looked similar to that of a shooting star. On any other day, he might have taken the time to investigate, but today he had bigger fish to fry.
Full sound returned to the officer, enough so that he swore he could hear the local broadcast from outside the station as he brought the speeding vehicle to an abrupt halt parallel to the curbside. He leapt from the car, closing the door behind him all in a fluid motion.
Crime was very minimal around these parts. No new recruits were being hired for the squad over the last five years. However, that didn't stop worthy prospects from sending in their applications creating a waiting list of over thirty qualified men and women. A small holding cell was furnished in the back portion of the station with the ability to house at least fifteen suspects, prior to sending them to the larger detention center in Merryville.
Gladston successfully traversed the steps in no time flat and come perpendicular to the doors, flinging them open with a mere flip of his right hand. Multiple guests of the station observed his actions with a moderate degree of apprehension. They wanted to ask questions, but were unable to muster the courage to interrupt. He bumped one deputy in the hallway as he sped through, barely breaking his own stride, but causing the man to mimic a Tasmanian devil spin, before subsequently falling to one knee and yelling "Howdy Sheriff Gladston".
Once in his office, he turned on the television in time to see the initial assessment in the wake of the destruction. Expecting to see damaging highlights covering Madisonburg, he was astonished by the images on the screen and even more so by the words that hung in the far left corner, just below the attractive reporter.

The Happy Cuckold Story
My wife called me at work and said she had a incredibly sexy surprise for me and to come home for lunch. I don't usually head home for lunch because by the time I get there, I only have about 20 or 30 minutes before I have to head back to work. This time, though, I figured that a blowjob was worth it. I called my wife on the way. She sounded so horny.
When I got home I kicked off my shoes, took off my shirt, and stripped down to my boxers. I raced down the hallway and burst into the bedroom and then got the surprise of my life. My wife was naked on her back with her legs spread wide with another man's face plastered between her thighs. He was going down on her, and all she could do to maintain her composure was to grip a handful of bedsheets.
After a couple of minutes, they finally noticed me standing at the entrance slack-jawed and in shock. My wife said, "Oh honey, you got here fast. I want you to meet James." James lifted his head up from between her legs and sheepishly said, "Hey dude." He went right back to eating my wife out. My wife started whimpering again. Within about five more minutes, she started bucking her hips into his face while groaning. Her body was tense and stiff for about a minute straight, until she released her death grip on the sheets and stopped arching her back. I can't ever remember my wife having an orgasm like that from my tongue.
James grinned at her and then looked at me, "You can join in if you want." I was thinking, that's nice, another man is inviting me to have sex with MY wife. I walked a little closer to the bed and just stood there. James got up on his knees and positioned himself between my wife's legs. He started rubbing his penis all around my wife's thighs, labia, and pubic area. He was like a dog marking his territory.
My wife leaned up to kiss him, and they started making out passionately. I could see her tiny hands gripped around his cock while slowly stroking it. I couldn't get a good look at his dick, but it seemed a little on the large side. After a few minutes of making out, James commented that my wife was making his cock leak. Sure enough, clear precum was oozing out of his dick and sticking to my wife's belly.
He sat back up on his knees and went back to tracing his cock between my wife's legs. I finally got a good look at this guy's penis. It was engorged, chubby thick, and definitely way above average in length. I couldn't fully appreciate just how big it was until he laid it down on my wife's abdomen. It stretched out from the top of her pussy all the way to her belly button. When he adjusted himself, his balls poked out from between her legs and they were absolutely enormous. They were like two oversized Grade A Jumbo eggs.
I instantly thought this guy is a stud built to impregnate women. Once he got around to penetrating my wife, his dick would have to be pushed up about as deep into her womb as a dick could get. The fatness and thickness of his cock would ensure that not a drop of cum leaked out of her. And his monstrous testicles would no doubt produce loads of fertilizing cum. I just prayed my wife had the good sense to have him use a condom. She didn't.
When he started rubbing the head of his penis down the center of her labia, it was like his dick was a white hot branding iron. My wife was bucking her hips trying to get him to stuff his cock inside her. When he pressed his dick at the entrance to her opening, her vagina looked way too small for him. He gently pushed the head into her pussy. She raised up and positioned her right hand on his abdomen to slow him down. Even though he was packing a monstrous penis, he knew how to be gentle with a woman.
He was dominant, yet he allowed my wife to control the way his cock penetrated her vagina. She was a ball of tension for about thirty seconds, but that tension quickly subsided when she realized this man knew how to enter a woman. My wife was about to get laid by a master cocksman.
With his dick about a quarter of the way in my wife, James stopped pushing it in, and just focused on rubbing her thighs and legs down. He massaged, rubbed, and kissed her legs everywhere. As I was watching him work her calves and feet with his hands, my wife literally melted into the bedsheets. The next time I glanced down between their legs, his cock was buried almost all the way in her.
He knelt in front of her motionless and allowed her to grind herself the rest of the way on his penis. When she finally pushed his dick completely into her body, his face beamed from the pleasures my wife was giving to him. They stayed connected like without moving for at least a couple of minutes. He was letting my wife's vagina fully adjust to accommodate his bulging cock. All I could think of was his penis inside her pushing all the way to her cervix. His dick must have been deep inside her vaginal walls and resting under her bellybutton.
I watched a few drops of his sweat fall on to my wife's body. I noticed her body glistening too. They were already flaming hot with lust. My wife gripped his strong arms and whispered to him that she was ready. He slowly withdrew his shaft from her – almost slower than when he penetrated her. Her labia gripped his penis as he pulled out of her. He didn't completely pull out. He never let the thick mushroom head of his cock come out of her pussy. He paused again to let her adjust.
Her legs were bent at the knees yet stayed somewhat stiff. It was like she was doing her best to stay as still as she could while he worked his magic between her legs. He pushed it back inside her a little faster this time, and even though her pink pussy lips were glued to his cock, you could tell it was starting to get easier for her to take him in. He waited a couple of seconds to start sliding back out of her pussy. This time he pulled out of her all the way and hovered his cock inches from her puffy labia. A little string of precum kept them connected as they stared into each others eyes.
My wife was still open-legged and motionless as he pressed the head of his dick at her opening again. This time he was a little more abrupt, and her hand shot straight up to his abdomen temporarily stopping his motion. As he slowly pulled back up, there was thick white sticky goo about an inch from the base of his cock. Neither one of them had orgasmed yet, so I was puzzled at seeing their sex juices already thick and gummy.
She said she was okay, and he started getting into a rhythm with his strokes plunging deeper into her. I found myself stuffing my hand into my boxers to touch myself. My dick was already rock hard and dripping with precum. I mean the whole front of my boxers felt like it was cold and wet to the touch. My dick was so hyper-sensitive that it hurt. Even the fabric of my boxers seemed like sandpaper to me. I let my dick slip out of the fly and into the bedroom air.
Meanwhile, James' back was being squeezed by my wife's serpentine legs as he settled into the missionary position with her. Her bright red toenails and smooth white skin were in stark contrast to his strong muscular back. I touched my penis again and this time wrapped my hand around it. Before I could even really start masturbating, James shot me a quick glance and yelled at me to stop being a faggot and get my clothes back on.
I bowed my head a little and shuffled off back into the living room to get my pants back on. I contemplated pleasuring myself, but I really didn't want to miss what was going on in my bedroom and on my bed. When I got back, my wife's legs were on his forearms, and he was forcefully pounding on her pussy. My wife was breathing really heavy with occasional whimpers, grunts, and light squeals. I'd never heard her make noises like that before. It was very primal like I imagined a caveman and cavewoman might have done eons ago. He was quite the man's man. My wife was definitely his possession.
I positioned myself behind them at the foot of the bed. I know they sensed I was watching, but they obviously didn't seem to mind as long as I kept my dick in my pants. I couldn't get over how big is balls were, actually how big the skin around his balls was. His scrotum reminded me of a bull's testicles. As he plunged into my wife his ball sac was yanked back and forth slapping my wife's ass and thighs.
Without warning, my wife started something that sounded like caterwauling and moaning mixed in at the same time. Her fingernails dug into his back for a moment, and then she dropped her hands down and grabbed the bedsheets. Her orgasm triggered an animalistic response from James. He yanked my wife's legs up to his chest and then leaned over her. When she turned her head left or right, she was looking at her own ankles.
He started rough fucking my wife to where she was pressing her fists into the bed at her sides. Her face was splotchy red and almost grimacing in pain, but in a good way. If someone walked in on them it might seem like he was raping her except for her occasional dirty talk asking him to fuck her harder.
His grunts and groans started sounded more deep and guttural. His muscular legs started twitching. I knew he was getting ready to cum. Within seconds, he voiced it. "Oh god, I'm going to cum. " He didn't really give my wife a choice of where he was going to cum. My wife with her feet bobbing next to her head and her legs pinned to his shoulders had no choice but to accept his sperm, semen, cum, and whatever else was inside his enormous balls.
His balls started to suck up to the sides as he plunged deep into my wife's vagina. He stopped thrusting into her as he rested his penis balls-deep inside my wife. The area between his balls and ass started to pulsate rapidly. The violent pulsating action moved up to the base of penis. He was inseminating his seed deep inside my wife's womb. All she could do was rub his forearms as he dumped load after load into her.
He held her like that for a couple of minutes as the pulses slowly subsided. Even after he was done cumming inside my wife, he kept her with her legs splayed over his shoulders. It was such a crude position for my wife to be in. He waited there with his eyes closed. My wife kept almost lovingly rubbing his arms and hands.
After a couple of minutes like that, he lowered himself onto her missionary style and rested with his dick still jammed inside of her. He positioned his head next to her with his face in my pillow. She kissed the side of his face and whispered into his ear that was the best she ever had. Even after about five minutes of them positioned like that his cock was still hard and inside her. I was starting to wonder when they would break their genital sex lock.
He only started to get up when she told him she needed to go pee. As his dick pulled out of her, their thick white sex juices started oozing out of her puffy little vagina. When he rolled over on his back, his dick was still impressive as it was losing its hardness. My wife kissed his sex-covered penis and then made her way to the bathroom.
I immediately walked out of the bedroom and waited just outside the door. They didn't make too much noise for a few minutes until I heard her jump back on the bed and start kissing him. I peeked around the door and saw him sitting on the side of the bed. My wife was kneeling between his legs and kissing his abdomen. It didn't take much to figure out she was going to suck his dick. Her hands were wrapped around his back presumably massaging his lower back and ass. She worked her way down to his inner thighs at which is dick started to twitch back to life. In seconds, his cock was fully engorged and reddish brown.
She spent a considerable amount of time licking and nibbling his huge balls. She hand one hand wrapped around his ball sac, and it looked kind of like she was milking his balls the way she caressed it back and forth. Gradually, she licked and kissed her way to the head of his penis. She toyed with the hole of cock with her tongue until it started spitting out precum. She grinned up at James as she slowly lowered her mouth down onto his shaft. She got it in half way and held it for a moment. She quickly pulled his dick out of mouth and commented on how big it was.
She then wrapped one of her skinny hands around the base of his cock while the other hand cradled his large nuts. She started working his dick with her mouth pausing every few strokes to vacuum suck the tip. You could see by her cheeks that she was sucking incredibly hard and teasing the underside of his cock with her tongue. The whole time he stared down at my wife sucking his cock.
After a couple of minutes, he held her head back and motioned for her to stand up. Once she did, he kissed her full on the lips, and then swirled her around until she was bent over the side of the bed. Her pussy was noticeably swollen and irritated from the marathon fuck session they had earlier. She halfheartedly tried to position herself back down to complete the blowjob, but he didn't relent. He just started rubbing his thick penis all over my wife's heart-shaped ass and the back of her creamy white thighs.
I have to admit that my wife looked amazing bent over our bed like that with her pussy peeking out between her legs. James asked my wife to spread her ass cheeks. It was more of a command than asking, but it didn't really matter. She instinctively reached back and positioned her red fingernails inches from her puckered little butthole. James rubbed his dick up and down her inflamed labia and at the door of her sore vagina.
My wife reacted to this by getting up on her tip toes. Just as it looked like he was going to push it inside her again, he shifted his cock an inch higher and pressed it against her butt. He was going to fuck my wife in her ass, which really got to me because as much as I begged, she never gave me anal sex.
The first attempt, my wife reached her hand back and guided his dick back towards her pussy. He let her press it a little into her vagina – about an inch below the head of his penis. Once again, he shifted it back up and tried to enter her ass. This time she leaned forward, and told him that she wasn't ready for that yet. I was thankful she was saying no to anal. The 'yet' in her comment troubled me, however.
James took no for an answer like a gentleman. He guided his cock back into her pussy and let my wife control the penetration process. She gently worked her back into him, and he patiently let her accept his thick shaft. About half way in, it was clear that she wasn't doing much to get the rest of his penis in. That was when he took over.
Without much warning, his big hands gripped her hips and some of her ass. He forced his full length into her with one quick thrust. She yelped and tried to jump forward, but he held her down. As he held his dick balls-deep inside her, he asked her if she was okay. She meekly responded yeah and asked him to keep going.
Rather than take it slow and gentle, he started from the get-go to pummel my wife's pussy. His thighs slapped her ass with each thrust. All I could hear was the 'smack' 'smack' 'smack' of his skin crashing against my wife's body. She grabbed handfuls of the bedsheets and danced around on her tip toes as his hands dug into her back flesh. Just when I thought my wife couldn't physically handle the pounding she was taking, she yelled at him, "Fuck me deeper. Deeper. Smack my ass. Deeper."
He responded by swatting her across her ass and lower back. I could tell she liked it by the way she started violently bucking back into him. He smacked her ass about five or six more times before he pinned her down and jammed his cock in her to the hilt. His legs were twitching. His balls were sucked up to the sides. Then he started groaning as he exploded inside my wife's pussy. His entire genital region was throbbing and pulsating as he drained his balls in my wife's vagina.
When he was done, he leaned forward and kissed my wife right on her ruby red lips. Then he got dressed and told her thanks. As he passed me heading out the bedroom door, he said, "She all yours, dude." Like a dumb ass, I said, "No problem. Thanks." I actually told the guy that just fucked my wife, thanks. When I walked in, my wife was still bent over the bed with cum globbing its way out of her pussy and down to the bedroom floor.
I sat down on the side of the bed next to her. I didn't know what to say. She broke the ice. "You okay honey?" Again, I didn't know what to say. I mean, I wasn't prepared to see my wife fucking another man. I mumbled something incoherent. She said, "I did it for you, baby." I managed to get out, "What do you mean you did it for me?"
"Well, I know that it's a fantasy of your to see me with another guy."
I said, "Seriously? I never said anything like that before."
She said, "I saw a story you were reading on the internet when I turned on the computer today."
"I was reading stories about threesomes a couple of nights ago, but I don't remember seeing anything about my wife with another guy."
She said, "What do you think a threesome entails? You and me, and another guy or girl."
I said, "I think we should have discussed this before…"
"You wouldn't have done it then. I wanted to be spontaneous for a change. And, you know what? You were turned on. You liked it." She glanced down at my pants. I was so turned on, that there was an obvious wet spot on the outside of my pants. It was so much that I wondered if I might have orgasmed without knowing it. I didn't really have a way to explain it. I guess she had a point.
I sheepishly asked her, "Can we… You know, can we have sex now?"
"Honey, that was my plan, but that's not going to happen. I am so raw down there right now. It felt good while we were doing it, but I knew I was going to be sore. I felt like I was in college again partying so much to where I would wind up walking funny the next day."
I laughed a very uncomfortable, courtesy laugh.
She said, "I could blow you."
I immediately said, "Yeah. Where do you want me?"
She said to give her a second. She went to the bathroom to clean up. She came back in some fresh granny panties and a bra – a far cry from the black velour bra and thong panty set she wore for James. She got down on her knees between my legs. She started rubbing my legs and thighs much like she did for James earlier. Then she put her hands around my shaft and started slowly stroking as she kissed my inner thighs. Within seconds and without warning I exploded all over her back and hair. She never even got to put her mouth on me.
She giggled a little and commented that I obviously liked seeing her with other men. I didn't really say anything to support or argue her statement. There wasn't much I could say. She grabbed a bottle of some kind of salve and asked me to rub it into her pussy. She draped her legs over the end of the bed, and I got on the floor between her thighs. I helped her off with her flowery panties and finally got a close look at how hard he fucked her. Her pussy lips were visibly swollen and red. There was a slight tear towards the bottom that wasn't quite bleeding even though there were traces of blood in the crotch of her fresh panties.
It took a few minutes for the scent of the salve to overtake the smell of his sex all over her body. As I applied more of the cream to her, I wondered how long it would be before she was ready for sex again. I wondered if James were going to be coming back for seconds. I wondered if maybe this wasn't his first time. I worked up the nerve to ask her to try and blow me again, but when I looked up at her, she was passed out from exhaustion.
Next to the side of the bed was her black thong panties that she had worn for James. Impulsively, I reached for them. Even though I was at eye level with my wife's beautiful pussy, I only started getting hard when I imagined James taking off the black panties that was in my hands. I imagined him breathing in my wife's scent for the first time. I pressed her used panties to my face and stared at her equally used pussy. I reached into my boxers to pleasure myself. I intentionally tried to make it last by making it slow with extra light pressure. It was hopeless. My senses were in overdrive. I came in seconds as I thought about James lasting over thirty glorious minutes with my lovely wife.
Surprisingly my sex life has gotten infinitely better than it was. I used to have sex with my wife maybe two or three times a month. Ever since James has come into the picture, I have sex with sex her almost every time after he's had her – usually two or three times a week – and I don't mind sloppy seconds at all. The only times I don't have sex with her is when he spends the night on weekends. I get the couch, which I don't mind too much anymore. So, yeah, you could definitely call me a happy cuckold.

A puppy would surely brighten any animal-lover's Christmas, but according to the Ross County Humane Society's shelter manager, a pet is a gift that should be given careful thought and consideration or it shouldn't be given at all.
"After Christmas, we often have dogs coming in to the shelter because they weren't the right fit for the family or maybe they were too hard to train," Brittany Hardesty said. "We want the right dogs going to the right families."
Hardesty was at Petland on Saturday hoping to find forever homes for a trio of former strays ranging in age from nine months to eight years. The ...

Hearty Appetites
from Jamie
A few years ago I came across a book titled, Napkins: Lunch Bag Notes from Dad, by Courtney Garton, about a dad who put rhyming notes in his daughters' lunch bags, reflecting the ups and downs of everyday life; notes that maintained the lines of communication even when times were tough. I found it very inspiring, but I was also realistic in the idea that I probably would not be able to keep up with the daily rhymes. So I decided to take a different approach, and collect pictures that I'd cut in the shape of a heart thanks to a cookie cutter. Many were of animals, which my daughter loves and some were funny. Nothing too time intensive and nothing too sappy, but a quick, often humorous connection, nonetheless.
Lately, I've been seeing more products designed for this very situation, which can make the task even less daunting; you can find several on Amazon here.

The Winter Classic 2013 is not definitive and might not happen according to Yahoo! Sports. The Maple Leafs don't want to allow HBO to film 24/7 if they are approached and vice versa. NHL isn't the NFL where you can follow a team another city's team. If you can't get the buildup and anticipation with 24/7 don't expect a large following. NHL is gets no respect in the US anyway. Plus, does NBC even have an afiliate in Canada to generate the revenue? I don't see how this will happen.
Wings-Leafs in 2013 Winter Classic … Red Wings looking for scorer, depth … Potential Leafs targets … Hall gets nasty cut
- Ansar Khan of MLive: A source confirms that a deal has been finalized with the NHL, Red Wings, and Maple Leafs to hold the 2013 Winter Classic at Michigan Stadium. A rink will also be built at Comerica Park and will host events leading up to the Winter Classic on January 1st. Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun: Earlier this week University of Michigan Athletic Director said there could be scheduling conflicts and other issues, such as liquor licenses.
- Ansar Khan of MLive: The Red Wings are having 3 days of pro and amateur scouting meeting this week. They'll be evaluating potential trade targets and this summers free agent crop. The Red Wings are looking for a scoring winger and or a 3rd/4th line forward. The Wings have $5.7 million in cap space and will likely be offering up draft picks, middling prospects and/or fringe players. They will likely just be adding depth and not a star player.
"We like the way the team has performed. A lot of people have had good first halves," Holland said. "But the trade deadline is coming. We have a lot of cap space. We've done a lot of drafting and developing since 2005, saving our picks. I don't know if we have to do anything, but certainly in the next six weeks we're going to explore."
The Wings are believed to have interest in Tuomo Ruutu and Ales Hemsky. If Teemu Selanne decides to waive his no-trade clause, the Wings could be interested. Ryan Suter and Zach Parise could become available, but the Red Wings may opt to chase them in the summer.
- Michael Traikos of the National Post: Potential trade targets for the Maple Leafs: James van Riemsdyk, Bobby Ryan or Ryan Getzlaf, Ryan Malone, Derick Brassard, Paul Stastny, and Jeff Carter.
- Joanne Ireland of the Edmonton Journal: Oilers forward Taylor Hall was held out of last night's game after a pre-game mishap where his head took a nasty gash from the skate of defenseman Corey Potter.
- Katie Carrera of the Washington Post: Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom has been off skates for the past 11 days due to his concussion. GM George McPhee said, "Nick's doing really well. I'm I guess happy to report he's progressing."
- Todd Cordell via twitter: Petr Sykora is unsure if he'll return next year, he's taking it one year at a time according to his agent Allan Walsh.
- Frank Seravalli of the Philadelphia Daily News: Flyers forward Zac Rinaldo missed last night's game with an upper-body injury. He left Monday's practice after taking a blow to the head.

Having determined the location of the zoo, it also became possible to position - to varying degrees of accuracy - all of the surrounding buildings visible in the pictures showing the zoo. Some sites of other structures were identified from the aerial imagery alone. The function of the identified building sites was based on available accounts. For example, the SS barracks is shown on all maps of Treblinka as being situated between the rail siding and Kurt Seidel Street. Finding a building scar in this area on the aerial photography therefore permitted assigning this identity to the vanished building, as was done in Figure 19.
Jewish Workforce Barracks
The large barracks that housed the Jewish slave labor force was "U" shaped. It was fenced and situated to the south of the rest of the living camp, and north of the reception area. During the mass revolt in August of 1943, it was probably burned down. The May 1944 aerial photographs evince only subtle signs of the remains of this big building. In Figure 20,

The LPM Extends Its Reach into the Diaspora
Read More
Losing an election is no justification for any serious political organization to call it quits. The Lucian People's Movement (LPM), launched a year before the elections of 2011, had from the outset recognized the difficult challenges that lay
LPM is here to stay!
Buoyed by the courage to plant a small seed for change and to back up the talk when it was most important, the LPM, led by its political leader Mr Therold Prudent, proved that it was dead serious about the mission ahead by proudly answering "present" when the roll call was held on nomination day.
That election, difficult as it may have been, afforded the LPM the chance to become a household name and to make its mark on the body politic of the country. It could also be argued that the LPM walked out of the 2011 election with greater respect from the masses. Read More

I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I look young. I get carded everywhere and have been accused of having a fake ID at least twice. Once a woman in a store had to leave and walk into the backroom so she could stop laughing because when I asked her a question my voice was deeper than she expected since she thought I was 16.

I spend a ton of time thinking about intellectual property, copyright, and the patent system. Its just a weird hobby of mine.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
If I'm not just crashing after a long day of work I'll be hanging out with friends or playing video games. I'd like to get out more though.

News Release
Bankers Call for Better - Not More - Regulation
Adrian Monck, Managing Director, Head of Communications: +41 (0)79 615 1671; email@example.com
- Leaders of financial institutions disagree over whether the sector is still too complex and opaque
- Financial institutions must take risks to fuel economic growth, but these risks must be managed
- Regulation is needed, but global regulation may be a challenge in today's rapidly changing, multipolar world
- The theme of the 43rd World Economic Forum Annual Meeting is Resilient Dynamism. For more information, visit http://wef.ch/Davos
Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, 23 January 2013 – Leaders of the world's largest financial institutions participating in the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting today agreed that the sector is still too complex and opaque, with the exception of James Dimon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, JPMorgan Chase & Co., USA. Participants agreed on the need for regulation, but disagreed on how much is too much and whether or not global regulation is possible in today's rapidly changing, multipolar world.
Min Zhu, Deputy Managing Director, International Monetary Fund (IMF), commented that the financial services sector is simply too big. "Why did we have such a huge financial crisis? Because the financial sector is too big. The banks moved into market-based activities, where it is more opaque and there are fewer regulations. The products are too complicated. We have a long way to go."
Singer disagreed that the sector is too big. It is "too leveraged and too opaque", he charged. Dimon responded that banks are not too opaque, but they are complex. "Businesses can be opaque. They are complex. You don't know how aircraft engines work either." He refuted Singer's claims that it is impossible to determine whether global financial institutions are actually risky or sound. Dimon defended banks, noting that "some banks were ports in the storm because they were strong and diversified… they helped countries survive". He said that JP Morgan was not just a "fair-weather friend", but has been there through both good and bad times, lending US$ 15 billion net of collateral and derivatives to Spain and Italy. "It's very easy to say 'don't take risk'. We have to manage risk; something may go wrong," he said.
Singer answered that disclosures do not reveal whether the very large global financial institutions are risky or sound. "This is something that needs to be fixed by regulators," he said.
Andrey L. Kostin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, VTB Bank, Russian Federation, also defended the banks, pointing out that the industry has made a comeback. "Everybody is blaming the banks... yes, we took too much risk, but we took that risk so that everyone could enjoy life – the governments, the bankers, the regulators and the people," he said. Kostin noted that in Russia, consumer loans have increased by 40%. "We should have better regulation, but not necessarily more. We will not achieve growth unless we have a proper financial industry that lends money that fuels growth," he told participants.
Global regulation is needed for banks that want to operate in a global environment, said Axel A. Weber, Chairman of the Board of Directors, UBS, Switzerland; Co-Chair of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2013. Regulation is driving banks towards a very different future environment. However, he noted that global banks cannot operate in markets with different regulatory environments. "Absolutely, there should be global standards for global banks," he said.
Tidjane Thiam, Group Chief Executive, Prudential, United Kingdom, disagreed. He commented that the needs of emerging economies are very different, where regulators are driven by national politics. "The debate should not be a Western debate. Global regulatory standards are desirable, but will be difficult to achieve because countries across the planet are in different stages of development." He added that it will be a challenge to implement global regulations in today's rapidly changing, multipolar world. Thiam used the example of the difficulty in implementing Solvency II across 27 European Union member states. (Solvency II is an EU Directive attempting to codify and harmonize EU insurance regulation.) "So far, it has failed," he said. Thiam pointed to the "disconnect" between the speed at which regulation and the real world move.
Kostin noted that one of the priorities of the Russian Presidency of the G20 is to push for global regulation and supervision of the financial services sector, beginning with Basel II and III, recommendation on banking laws and regulations. Dimon bemoaned the lack of effectiveness in developing new rules and regulations for the financial services industry. "It is five years after the crisis, ok, and we still have not fixed a lot of things you are talking about. Part of the reason is that we are trying to do too much too fast," he said. Dimon recommended that all stakeholders sit down to resolve the issues facing the industry. "We have so many things coming. [We do not want] five more years of pointing fingers, scapegoating and using misinformation… and thinking we're making a better system."
The 43rd World Economic Forum Annual Meeting is taking place from 23 to 27 January under the theme Resilient Dynamism. More than 2,500 participants from over 100 countries are taking part in the Meeting. Participants include nearly 50 heads of state or government and more than 1,500 business leaders from the Forum's 1,000 Member companies, as well as Social Entrepreneurs, Global Shapers, Young Global Leaders and representatives from civil society, media, academia and the arts.
The co-chairs of Annual Meeting 2013 are: Frederico Curado, President and Chief Executive Officer, EMBRAER, Brazil; Muhtar A. Kent, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, The Coca-Cola Company, USA; Huguette Labelle, Chair, Transparency International, Germany; Global Agenda Council on Responsible Mineral Resources Management; Andrew N. Liveris, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, The Dow Chemical Company, USA; Atsutoshi Nishida, Chairman of the Board, Toshiba Corporation, Japan; and Axel A. Weber, Chairman of the Board of Directors, UBS, Switzerland

Tom Huff / News-Leader file photo
OZARK — A specially appointed attorney will assume the prosecutors role in the case of former Christian County Eastern District Commissioner Tom Huff, who is accused of improperly benefiting from road work projects paid for with county tax revenue.
Defense attorney Cynthia MacPherson opened a preliminary hearing Friday with an unsuccessful request to dismiss Huffs misdemeanor charge of holding pecuniary interest in a contract.
MacPherson intends to call Christian County Prosecutor Amy Fite as a witness in the case, which Fite objected to. Huffs defense accuses Fite of conspiring with Presiding Commissioner Lou Lapaglia to keep Huff from voting against Lapaglias wishes in commission meetings.
I believe there is a political witch hunt and I intend to prove that, your honor, MacPherson said.
Associate Circuit Judge Tony Williams stated that Fite would not be able to act as both a witness and a prosecutor in the case.
If (Fite) is going to be called as a witness, than Im going to appoint a special prosecutor. Im not going to put her assistants in position to play a guessing game, Williams said.
Fite asked Williams to appoint a special prosecutor from one of the four counties which maintain a reciprocal agreement for such prosecutorial services with Christian County. Christian County maintains such agreements with the prosecutors offices in Greene, Douglas, Stone and Taney counties.
Williams said he also may seek out an attorney from a private practice to handle the case.
Oftentimes, though, you may not be a part of a conspiracy, and I dont believe you are a part of a conspiracy, you may be a tool in a conspiracy, Williams said to Fite. There are people involved in these types of things and they use you and me to get what they want.
A lot of the stuff shes going to testify to are the technicalities, MacPherson said.
MacPherson attempted to have the case dismissed in the opening moments of Fridays hearing. She showed the judge a petition from a civil case that sought Huffs removal from office.
The civil case was dismissed when Huff resigned in August. The petition from the civil case was dated June 28, 2012, and contains information dated June 29, 2012. The improper dating, MacPherson says, is grounds for the case to be dismissed.
Dont know anything about that. Dont care anything about that, thats not my issue, Williams said.
MacPherson claimed the improper dating violates the letter of a Missouri Supreme Court rule regarding case information.
Maam, Im about truth and justice. I am not about the shiny objects, Williams said. Were going to have a trial and thats that.
MacPherson asked Williams to recuse himself from presiding over the case, which the judge immediately refused.
MacPherson claimed that Williams spoke to Stone County Associate Circuit Judge Mark Stephens about the case. Stephens presided over a civil matter that Huff filed against Fite and Lapaglia. Williams denied any collusion, and reprimanded MacPherson.
That is a bold-faced lie, Williams said, adding that he hadnt spoken to Stephens in at least two years.
You asked for a jury trial. Im not even going to be the trier of fact in this case. You wanted a jury, theyre going to do it.
Im trying to protect my client as best I can. Im not trying to play games with the disclosure, MacPherson said.
I dont have a dog in this fight; I just want it to go. You dont seem to want it to, Williams said to MacPherson.
The attorneys agreed to set Huffs trial date for June 24.
Due to scheduling conflicts, the trial is slated to take place in the second floor courtroom of the Christian County Historic Courthouse rather than the more modern justice center. The special prosecutor will be named as soon as he or she is appointed.
Huff suffered an injury on a road construction site in December of 2010 and filed a workers compensation claim. He stopped attending county commission meetings until June 25, 2012, where he voted for a motion for Christian County to continue allocating money to cities and special road districts for road work.
The defendant at that time had not been to work for 500-some odd days. He cast one vote, Fite said. The company he is being charged of having pecuniary interest in benefited from that vote.
The prosecutor claims that Tom Huff Asphalt and Sealing made about $97,000 through road district contracts. Some of the money from the asphalt company was transferred into a personal account that Huff and his wife share.
According to a counterclaim in the civil case, Huff and his wife checked with the Missouri Ethics Commission before bidding on any contracts with two special road districts in Christian County.
According to the Missouri Ethics Commission, state law declares that an officeholder, cannot perform any service for any agency of the state or political subdivision where he or she is elected or employed or has supervisory power for pay of more than five hundred dollars per transaction or five thousand dollars per year, unless the service is performed under a contract made after public bid and the bid must be the lowest received.
Huff did not seek reelection in the November 2012 election, which saw Christian County voters elect Eastern District Commissioner Ray Weter.

If you work in a pharmacy in England that uses an EPS Release 2 compliant PMR system you need to:
1. Ensure each person who requires access to the PMR system has a smartcard
An EPS Release 2 enabled smartcard is required to access the NHS Spine - each person will require a smartcard and it will not be possible to share smartcards.
If you have a Release 1 smartcard, you will need to contact your local Registration Authority (RA) to have your smartcard upgraded for Release 2.
How do I check if my smartcard is EPS Release 2 enabled?
Even if your local GP surgeries have not upgraded their systems for EPS Release 2, you can still upgrade your system and begin to register patient nominations. Report EPS Release 2 smartcard issues.
Read PSNC - Smartcard Access for Dispensing Contractors for a more detailed overview of smartcards.
2. Order an EPS Release 2 upgrade from your PMR supplier
There is one of cost of around £1,000 per pharmacy. However, this will be reimbursed through your schedule of payments when your Release 2 installation is complete.
Your pharmacy will then be classified as enabled for nomination on the NHS Choices website.
ProScript user in England? - Register your interest in an EPS Release 2 upgrade
3. Check your pharmacy details are correct on the NHS Choices website
If your details are incorrect you can notify your PCT directly in writing, or use the feedback form on the NHS Choices website - choose Hospitals and other NHS services, then enter your details.
You can start to register patient nominations six weeks before your PMR system is due to be upgraded for EPS Release 2.
Need help registering patient nominations?
We have an EPS nomination support pack available which includes everything you need to begin registering patients to your pharmacy.

|Inclusion of seminal plasma in sperm cryopreservation of Iberian pig.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22266249 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The aim of the present study was to evaluate the inclusion of seminal plasma (SP) in the freezing extender, trying to preserve as much as possible of SP with spermatozoa from Iberian pigs, thus improving the conservation of animal genetic resources of this breed. Experiment 1, evaluated the effect of substituting water with SP as diluent in the freezing media in different proportions (0%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%), over pre-freezing (at 10°C and 5°C) and post-thawing sperm quality. The results showed that over 50% of SP in the extender, significantly decreased sperm quality in comparison to the control sample (0% SP) and the samples with 10% and 25% of SP (P<0.05). No significant differences were found between the control sample and the samples with 10% and 25% SP (P>0.05), but treatment with 25% did not show significant differences between the time of incubation at 37°C after thawing (P>0.05), showing greater sperm quality resistance over time. Experiment 2, evaluated the effect of prolonged incubation period, until 480min (simulating the lifespan of sperm in the female genital tract), of sperm samples with 0%, 10% and 25% of SP. Treatment with 25% of SP maintained better sperm quality over time, compared to control sample. Significant differences were observed especially in the parameters of motility analysis (TMS, total motile spermatozoa; PMS: progressive motility spermatozoa. P<0.05). In Experiment 3, the effect of the presence of SP was evaluated during the thawing process. Although some differences were observed between treatments, these differences were not as clear as the previous experiments. In conclusion, replacement of 25% of the water by SP as diluent in the freezing extender could be considered the maximum percentage of inclusion, without harmful effects to the sperm. In addition, this proportion of SP maintained Iberian sperm quality for longer time when it was present during the freezing and thawing process.
