the camera girl is fucking sexy as shit
Very nice. Please add English Caption
Talking about Mike Tyson fanboys...
Liked her face when she first took it up her ass. I wonder if there are further scenes where "Cameragirl" gets her kit off and joins in?
This video was horrible...tyey were talkimg to much, it was way too long, too much direction telling, and the girk was seriously not attractive at all. She looked like a fucking mouse
the camera girl was the star of this vid

Dust only shows up on your good negs that you didn't make a dupe of on location. I always make sure to remove as much dust as possible from the darkslide before inserting into the camera too. Wear a had when loading your holders if you're in the darkroom.

I had my DD about a year ago, and the pill just isn't cutting it for me anymore, so I was talking to my OB about switching to an IUD. He said he honestly didn't know if it would work with my cervix, he even tried to look it up but couldn't find anything, but it wouldn't hurt to try. But that kind of scares me, what if it falls out?! Has anyone gotten an IUD with an incomp cervix??
Anyone gotten an IUD with incomp cervix?

OMG! I never thought of that... And I want an IUD after I have this baby. I have an OB appointment Tuesday. I'll definitely ask him then and let you know what he says.
Proud wife and mommy to 4 cerclage babies. Expecting #5 in 2014!!!
I talked to my OB last week about birth control after the baby was born. He is the one who actually suggested that I get an IUD afterwards. I trust him completely as he is Chief of OB at the hosp. that I will be delivering at and also specializes in high risk pregnancy's.

I had an IUD placed after cervical incompetence and 2 years later was so sick I went to the ER and came to find out the IUD was in my ABDOMEN!!! I got pregnant the first month we ttc with our first but after the whole IUD experience and all the scar tissue (Ashermans syndrome) it took almost 2 years to get pregnant with our second child!! I am highly Against the Mirena IUD personally!!

What I have noticed is that when ever there is a spike in volume on the down side ,buy on the 3rd day. We had a bit of a spike in volume to the down side 3 days ago so I would say today is the buy in day. Same thing goes for spike in volume on the upside sell the next day or better sell that day.Take any stock and look at volume spikes and see what happened to the price . I hope I'm right cause if they fill those bids at .12 there is very few interested buyers.

The pig, Sus scrofa domestica includes both the miniature and commercial domestic breed. These animals have influenced the human life and economies and have been studied throughout history. Although the miniature breeds are more recent and have increasingly been used in a variety of biomedical studies, their cell lines have rarely been established. Therefore, we sought to establish primary and immortal cell lines derived from both the miniature and domestic pig to better enable insight into possible in vivo growth differences.
The in vitro lifespan of primary domestic pig fibroblast (PF) and miniature pig fibroblast (MPF) cells using a standard 3T3 protocol was determined. Both of the primary PF and MPF cells were shown to have a two-step replicative senescence barrier. Primary MPF cells exhibited a relatively shorter lifespan and slower proliferation rate compared to those of primary PF cells. Beyond senescence barriers, lifespan-extended PF and MPF cells were eventually established and indicated spontaneous cellular immortalization. In contrast to the immortalized PF cells, immortal MPF cells showed a transformed phenotype and possessed more frequent chromosomal abnormalities and loss of p53 regulatory function. The lifespan of primary MPF and PF cells was extended by inactivation of the p53 function using transduction by SV40LT without any detectable senescent phenotype.
These results suggest that p53 signaling might be a major determinant for the replicative senescence in the MPF cells that have the shorter lifespan and slower growth rate compared to PF cells in vitro.

Development and filming[edit]
The first season of The Amazing Race traveled 35,000 miles (56,000 km) in 39 days, spanning 4 continents and 9 different countries. The season was hit with multiple filming delays, including an airport strike in Rome and a sandstorm in Tunisia, the latter of which forced teams to begin leg 6 in Gabès, rather than the original Saharan desert Pit Stop.
Other aspects of filming were unique to the first season of the series. Host Phil Keoghan handed out clues at the beginning of some legs and only greeted the last-place team at each Pit Stop; all other teams were greeted and informed of their placements by local representatives. Each leg's Pit Stop mat featured a localized design; subsequent seasons have used a single mat design throughout the entire race.
During Leg 5, Paul and Amie got lost in the Sahara desert after trying numerous routes; they found the desert oasis Pit Stop by luck, unknowingly skipping the roadblock and final route marker.
Amazing Race courses were planned so that the final three teams will all reach the finish line. However, Joe and Bill were so far behind that they could not catch up and did not finish the race. When they were still completing Leg 12 (which aired alongside Leg 13 in final episode), Team Guido was required to have villagers bounce one teammate upwards by the use of an Alaskan tapestry. According to the DVD commentary, the tapestry broke under the weight the day before, so a trampoline had to be used instead.
Eleven teams participated in the first season of The Amazing Race, ranging from best friends to couples, and a mother and daughter duo. Kevin and Drew made an appearance in Season 8, handing out clues from a hot dog stand in New York City. They also returned, along with Joe and Bill, to participate in the All-Stars edition among a cast of returning teams from seasons 1-10. Runner up Frank Mesa made an appearance at the starting line of season 25. Winners Rob & Brennan made an appearance at the starting line of Season 27.
Margaretta Groark died on October 26, 2008, after a long battle with cancer, at the age of 67.[1]
Nancy Hoyt died on December 8, 2011, after a long battle with Lou Gehrig's disease, at the age of 56.[2]
Season 1 was not particularly a ratings' success, though it was co-directed by Michael Bay. The series premiered six days prior to the September 11 attacks, after which interest in foreign travel waned and viewership fell correspondingly. The show was further hindered by the lack of media coverage and promotion as networks focused on news stories and more patriotic programming. Additionally, the show premiered and competed in the same time slot as with NBC's short-lived Lost, another reality show with a similar premise.[3] The show did just well enough to earn a second season, which aired the following spring.

- A red team placement indicates that the team was eliminated.
- An underlined blue team placement indicates that the team was the last to arrive at a Pit Stop in a non-elimination leg of the race.
- An green ƒ indicates that the team won a Fast Forward clue. If placed next to a leg number, this indicates that the Fast Forward was available for that leg but not used.
- ^ Leg 1 featured an un-aired Roadblock that was only partially shown in the DVD release. Pat & Brenda and Matt & Ana were not shown completing this Roadblock.
- ^ Dave & Margaretta initially were checked in at the Pit Stop in 7th, but they were retroactively penalized for not completing the Detour correctly. They served their penalty before the start of the next leg, dropping them to 8th to depart.
- ^ Dave & Margaretta initially were checked in at the Pit Stop in 6th, but they were retroactively penalized for not completing the Roadblock correctly. This Roadblock was not included in their Roadblock count because neither Dave nor Margaretta completed it properly. They served their penalty before the start of the next leg, dropping them to 8th to depart.
- ^ Paul & Amie checked in 5th at the end of the Leg, but were 4th to depart on the next leg after being awarded a time credit due to production difficulties.
- ^ Paul & Amie arrived at the Pit Stop by chance after getting lost and unknowingly skipping the Roadblock. However, since they were already in last place, they were eliminated without being assessed the 4-hour penalty.
- ^a b Frank & Margarita and Joe & Bill initially arrived 1st and 2nd, respectively, but were each issued a 30-minute penalty for failing to follow a clue correctly. The penalty did not affect their placements.
- ^ Lenny & Karyn were granted a time credit for production difficulties. This did not affect their placement.
- ^ Nancy & Emily initially arrived 4th, but were issued a 24-hour penalty for failing to complete either Detour option after getting lost and taking a cab to the Roadblock. Joe & Bill checked in during the penalty time, causing Nancy & Emily to fall to last place and resulting in their elimination.
- ^ Joe & Bill had fallen so far behind that they were unable to complete the final leg. When Joe & Bill departed from Takosha Lodge in Alaska and reached the last Detour, they were informed that the race was over and accepted a third-place finish.

Leg 1 (United States → South Africa → Zambia)[edit]
Airdate: September 5, 2001
- New York City, New York, United States (Central Park – Bethesda Fountain) (Starting Point)
- New York City (John F. Kennedy International Airport) to Johannesburg, South Africa (Johannesburg International Airport)
- Johannesburg (Lanseria Airport) to Livingstone, Zambia (Livingstone Airport)
- Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park (Victoria Falls – Knife's Edge Bridge)
- Livingstone (Batoka Gorge)
- Livingstone District (Songwe Village)
At the start of the first season of The Amazing Race, host Phil Keoghan informed the teams on the race of some basic rules and showed them the first clue containing the needed information with some cash, which they could use at their own discretion. The clue directed the teams to fly to their first destination, Johannesburg, South Africa with one of three flights: the first flight is a direct flight to Johannesburg and arrives first with seats for five teams, the second flight has a connection to Zurich also arrives second and would carry two teams, and the third flight connects through Milan arrives third with the last four teams.
Upon arriving in the city of Johannesburg, teams must head to Lanseria Airport and find Ryan Blake Air to take one of charter flights to Livingstone, Zambia with first come, first served seats leaving in different times. Upon arriving at Livingstone Airport, teams had to take one of marked cars with their next clue on the windshield, instructing them to proceed to Knife's Edge Bridge in Victoria Falls. Teams have the choice to drive themselves or hire a local driver. The clue also included the race's very first Fast Forward, which teams had to hike down a steep canyon to the Boiling Pot on the Zambezi River.
Once at the Knife's Edge, the next clue tells them to head to Batoka Gorge and led into the first Detour of the race, with a choice between Air or Land. In Air, teams had to take a quick trip along a zipline across the gorge and then experience a 54 metres (177 ft) gorge swing down to the bottom to receive their next clue. In Land, teams had to take a long hike down the rim of the gorge to receive the next clue. Once the Detour was finished, teams had to drive themselves to Songwe Village, the very first Pit Stop of the Race. Near the Pit Stop, there was a Roadblock that required one team member to cook an ostrich egg, after which both team members were required to eat it. However, it went unaired and it became available as a bonus feature on the DVD.
Leg 2 (Zambia → France)[edit]
Airdate: September 19, 2001[a]
- Livingstone District (Songwe Museum)
- Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park or Chobe National Park, Botswana
- Livingstone District (Mukuni Village)
- Johannesburg, South Africa (Johannesburg International Airport) to Paris, France (Charles de Gaulle Airport)
- Paris (Eiffel Tower)
- Paris (Arc de Triomphe)
At the start of the leg, teams were informed to travel to the nearby Songwe Museum, just 100 yards from the Pit Stop. The first clue also had the next Fast Forward and instructed teams to find the Bundu Adventures rafting company near the Zambezi River. For the Fast Forward at Bundu Adventures, one team had to whitewater raft down the treacherous rapids of the Zambezi River to reach the Fast Forward pass. Back at the museum, teams found some cameras along with the next Detour, with a choice between Near or Far. In Near, teams had to go to Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park only 20 kilometres (12 mi) away and had to photograph three hard to find animals from a provided list of five (giraffe, impala, water buffalo, zebra, rhino). In Far, teams had to go to Chobe National Park in the nearby nation of Botswana 110 kilometres (68 mi) away and photograph a single elephant.
After either Detour option, teams had to travel to Mukuni Village. Once there, teams had to take part in a traditional welcome ceremony for honored guests, which included meeting the village chief (who would spit on them) as well as viewing and participating in a tribal dance. Teams then gave the village chief the photographs, and received the next clue; a miniature model of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. Once at the Eiffel Tower, the teams found first aired Roadblock, which said "This task requires strong legs and keen eyes". For this Roadblock, one team member had to take the stairway up to the second level of the Eiffel Tower and use a ₣10 coin to operate a telescope to search the city skyline for a famous monument with a race flag on top, which happened to be the Arc de Triomphe, the Pit Stop for this leg.
Leg 3 (France)[edit]
Airdate: September 26, 2001
- Paris (Roue de Paris)
- Paris (Notre Dame de Paris or Panthéon)
- Paris (Mariage Frères)
- Paris (Hôtel de Ville)
- Paris (Place du Châtelet)
- Paris (Gare de Lyon) to Avignon (Gare d'Avignon Centre) or Marseille (Gare de Marseille Saint-Charles)
- Les Baux de Provence (Château des Baux)
At the start of the leg, teams were informed to travel to the nearby Roue de Paris, known as La Grande Roue "The Big Wheel" to find the next clue. At La Grande Roue was the next Fast Forward which required one team to find an obscure tea shop called Mariage Frères in Rive Gauche and ask for a specific tea called Le Venturier.
Back at La Grande Roue, the teams also found the next Detour, which was either Tough Climb or Easy Walk. In Tough Climb, teams must travel to Notre Dame de Paris and had to climb up the 297 steps of the cathedral and ring Quasimodo's bell to receive their next clue. In Easy Walk, teams had to locate a statue of a cat sitting beside Foucault pendulum. What they don't know is that there are two Foucault pendulums in Paris; only the one at the Panthéon, which has the statue and the other at the Museum of Arts and Crafts, it doesn't have the clue.
After the Detour, teams had to go to Hôtel de Ville and must find a man dressed in blue suit standing across from the hotel to find the next clue, leading to the next Roadblock (the actual clue went unaired). For this Roadblock, one team member had to walk underground through the sewers of Paris to the Place du Châtelet, two blocks away. Following the Roadblock, teams then must travel by train to Avignon or Marseille and then to Château des Baux in the town of Les Baux de Provence, the Pit Stop for this leg of the Race.
Leg 4 (France → Tunisia)[edit]
Airdate: October 3, 2001
- Marseille (Marseille Ferry Port) to Tunis, Tunisia (La Goulette)
- Tunis (Bab Bhar)
- El Djem (Amphitheater of Thysdrus)
At the start of the leg, teams were told to travel to Marseille Ferry Port travel to the country represented by the small unidentified flag of Tunisia and to travel by boat from Marseille to the country represented by the flag. Once they identified the flag as Tunisian, they had to arrive in the capital and port city of Tunis. They also received a picture of the man they had to find when they arrived at their destination, which is La Goulette (which bears strong resemblance to Paris' Arc de Triomphe) with the traditional greeting of "As Salaami" to receive the next clue.
Upon arriving at La Goulette, the teams were taken into the Bab Bhar for the next Detour, which was a choice between Full Body Brew and Full Body Massage. In Full Body Brew, teams had to find Café Mouche inside the Bab Bhar marketplace using only a picture for reference. Once there, they must order two cafés to get their next clue. In Full Body Massage, teams had to search for a massage parlor marked on a provided map. Once there, they had to sit through a 20-minute massage before they received the next clue. There was also an unused Fast Forward, in an unaired segment, where the teams were told to go fishing on board the Kinsa in the port of Sidi Bou Said.[4]
After the Detour, teams received a lighter marked with a picture of the Amphitheater of Thysdrus in El Djem with the words "Go Here" on the back. Upon arriving at Amphitheater of Thysdrus, teams found the next Roadblock, warning this task was "Not for anyone who is afraid of the dark". For this Roadblock, one team member had to light a torch and, with some basic instructions, navigate the ancient arena to find the pit of death. Then, they had to retrieve a sword dangling above the pit, find a way out of the maze of tunnels, then bring it to the Pit Stop. Then, the teams had to slide the sword into the sheath to finish the leg.
Leg 5 (Tunisia)[edit]
Airdate: October 10, 2001
- Tataouine (Globe monument)
- Ksar Hadada or Ksar Ouled Soltane
- Sahara (Compass Coordinates to Gremsa)
- Sahara (Ksar Ghilane (French) – Camel Outpost)
- Sahara (Ksar Ghilane)
At the start of the leg, teams received an enclosed photograph of a Globe monument and instructions to find Tataouine for their next clue. At Tatouine, they found the next Detour, a choice between Listening and Puzzling. In both Detours, teams must take a marked truck to their next destination in the middle Tunisia and they must pay the driver with US$50, who cannot provide directions. In Listening, teams had to find the well-known Star Wars movie set Ksar Hadada and use supplied walkie talkie and their sense of hearing to locate the radio's counterpart, hidden somewhere in the labyrinth of caves. In Puzzling, teams had to find Ksar Ouled Soltane and had to solve a simple Tunisian dice game at the hard-to-find castle. There was Fast Forward in this leg, and in an unaired segment, a team had to use a map that had an arrow pointing to a location to find a cave and take a picture of something inside.[5]
After the Detour, teams had to travel approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) to Gremsa using a compass and a series of painted yellow stones to fond their next destination in the Sahara Desert, Ksar Ghilane to a Camel Outpost for the leg's Roadblock, which asked "Who wants to go for a ride?". In this Roadblcok, one team member rode a camel and use a set of compass directions to the flag visible in the distance of to find a route marker in the middle of the desert. A camel handler was also provided to help. The non-participating member must make the trek on foot. Once they reached the route marker, teams had to use a new set of compass directions to the next Pit Stop, the Ksar Ghilane oasis.
Leg 6 (Tunisia → Italy)[edit]

This place is ridiculous. The grounds are nasty, the staff is rude, and they make you pay for stuff somebody else did to your apartment before you got there that they didn't even bother to fix. And they must take the longest lunch breaks ever because every time I call or visit the office between 12 and 4, nobody is ever in there. The neighbors are sketchy and I have had my laundry stolen twice.

Holy cow, I wrote a book!
I was out of town for the grading of the seventh grade essays,
so I pitched in with the sixth grade essays instead.
The students were asked to think of an adult and describe
the qualities that make that person an adult.
This topic was not very well received by the students,
who deemed it uncreative and boring.
While I understand their lack of enthusiasm,
it's also true that for most of your life,
you're going to have to write on topics that are uncreative and boring
the stakes are going to be higher),
so you'd better get good at it.
The difference in writing skill between sixth and seventh graders
(between eleven year olds and twelve year olds)
is quite noticeable.
Many of sixth graders could not get past the literal definition of
the word adult,
describing the qualities that make an adult purely in terms of
Age, height, strength, puberty, armpit hair.
Many others focused on accomplishments or privileges
that distinguish adults from children:
Advanced education, having a job, knowing how to drive a car,
and being able to stay up late without getting yelled at.
Remember, these are just the funny sentences/excerpts.
Do not assume that all students write like this.
The assignment is given under standardized test conditions:
90 minutes with nothing but pencil and paper,
with one additional hour available upon request.
The easy life
Check your fun at the door
Responsible behavior
Let me tell you about my parents
Assorted commentary
Concluding thoughts
Misspelling corner.
I've included more context; that may make the game a bit easier.
Other remarks on student writing:
And that's why I read student essays.

Dear Alice,
My girlfriend recently began taking the pill. I heard from a friend that alcohol can decrease the effectiveness of this method of birth control even if she is completely responsible about it.
Dear Reader,
Luckily for women who enjoy sex, responsible drinking, and the pregnancy-protection that the pill provides, alcohol does not decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills. The chances of becoming pregnant while taking the pill can vary from less than one percent to nine percent, depending on whether or not the pill is used correctly and consistently. Missing the pill, or not taking it at the same time everyday can impact the chances of becoming pregnant. These rates are not changed by alcohol use. However, what drinking alcohol can change is the likelihood of missing a dose of the pill because of intoxication, and the chances of contracting a sexually transmitted infection (STI) due to an intoxication-induced impairment of judgment.
While the effectiveness of birth control pills are not impacted, biologically, by alcohol, the hormones in birth control often reduce the liver's ability to metabolize the ethanol in alcohol. This leads to higher blood alcohol concentrations in ladies on the pill and intensifies the effects of intoxication. In plain English, your girlfriend might get drunker quicker. While drunk, she could forget to take her pill at approximately the same time she does each day. If she's taking a progestin-only pill, that could be a problem. This pill's effectiveness is at risk if not taken at close to the same time each day, with a margin of error of about three hours. Estrogen and progesterone pills are not quite as time-sensitive, but women who miss a dose should take the next pill as soon as they remember, and to be extra sure they may want to use a back-up as well.
Intoxication can also cause a woman to vomit, which, if she's taken her pill recently could jeopardize its effectiveness. Finally, being drunk could inhibit a woman's judgment, and she may forget or chose not to use a condom when she normally would in order to guard against STIs. If you and your girlfriend have each been tested for STIs, and are sexually active exclusively with each other, this may not be a problem. But for women with more than one partner condoms are essential to preventing STIs. Alcohol intake has been shown to decrease the use of such protection, which is essential for guarding against STIs, including HIV.
If there is concern that alcohol will cause one to miss pills, there are a few other birth control options available. For example, your girlfriend may feel comfortable using the nuva ring, or trying an IUD as another option to taking the pill. You may find it helpful to talki with a primary care provider about birth control options
Props to you for staying well-informed about birth control and making healthier choices regarding sexual health and reproductive health for you and your girlfriend. Knowing what's rumor and what's fact may help you enjoy the timeless combination of alcohol and sex in a responsible and safe way.Alice!

Friday, July 18, 10:30 a.m.-ish: My 3D glasses in place, I prepare to watch the animated sequel Planes: Fire & Rescue with surprisingly vivid memories of its precursor, probably because it was released a mere 11 months ago. I'm really hoping that, this time around, director Roberts Gannaway's tale of anthropomorphic vehicles with bulging eyes and recognizable celebrity voices won't remind me of Pixar's Cars every three minutes, and happily, it doesn't. Instead, I'm frequently reminded of the astronaut epic The Right Stuff, which is a much cooler movie to pilfer from.

January 17, 10:05 a.m.-ish: If it's January, it must be time for our annual demonic-possession thriller in the guise of a "documentary," and yet it still seems strange to be watching Devil's Due. The devil may be, but a mere two weeks after the release of the latest Paranormal Activity, were we audiences really due for another of these things?

With the 5-2 win over the Indians Thursday night at Fenway Park, the Red Sox recorded their sixth straight win at home, their longest such streak of the season and longest overall since six in a row in April 2013.
The Sox have won seven of their last eight against the Indians at Fenway.
Jon Lester earned the 107th win of his career, moving into sole possession of ninth place on the Sox all-time list. He retired 10 of the first 11 batters he faced, with just a Yan Gomes single. In his last two starts at Fenway he has allowed just one earned run in 14 2/3 innings. This was his eighth start of the season of at least seven innings, most on the team.
Daniel Nava went 3-for-4, his second three-hit game of the season. He has hit safely in five of his last six games and is 9-for-22, .409, in his last seven games. He improved to .442, 19-for-43, with five doubles, 11 RBI, and nine runs scored in 14 career games against the Indians. He has the highest batting average against Cleveland among active players.
Brock Holt went 2-for-4 and has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games, going 21-for-54, batting .315. He has reached base in 19 of 21 games batting leadoff this season.
Mike Napoli has reached base in all 25 games with a plate appearance at Fenway this season, batting .315, going 29-for-92. It is the longest active home on-base streak in the American League this season.
Jonathan Herreras sixth-inning triple was the eight of his career and first since June 25, 2013, which with the Rockies at Fenway.
Koji Uehara pitched a perfect ninth inning for his 14th save in as many chances this season. He has not allowed a run in his last 18.0 innings and has converted his last 30 regular season save opportunities, the longest active streak in the majors.
Jackie Bradleys seventh-inning outfield assist was his sixth of the season, the most by a Sox rookie since Bob Zupcic had 11 in 1992.
Manager John Farrell said after the game Stephen Drew, sidelined with an ailing right oblique, is not expected to get an MRI on Friday and could get into a game over the weekend.

The O.D.: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive
Hail to the Chef. Raekwon will debut in SoundScan's top five with his classic Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II. Rae popped up at the VMA Radio Forum over the weekend, and we had the opportunity to ask him about a longstanding rumor that at one time, Diddy wanted to sign him and Ghostface Killah to Bad Boy.
"I heard that too," Rae said. "We did a show at the Palladium [years back], and Puff had security with him that was from Staten Island. When we got back to Staten Island, we bump into the kid, and he told us while he was up there performing, Puff said, 'I need them two. What I gotta do?' He was excited about working with us [and] signing us too. I don't know why it ain't happen, either. You never know. Maybe he may want to do that now. I'm independent, baby. So let's get it right. Let's cut them checks, Puff. We know what time it is!"
The Wu-Tang/ Diddy/ Bad Boy connection has spawned a lot of hits from "The What" to the remixes of "All I Need" and "Special Delivery." Diddy and Rae did hook up last week for the album-release party for Cuban Linx II. Diddy hosted the party at Manhattan's Santos Party House.
"One day I'm in the car, I'm just driving," he said. "I get a call from Puff out of the blue. He's like, 'Yo, I wanna congratulate you on your album.' That's what's up. One thing led to another, and I told him about the party. He said, 'If I'm in town, I'm coming through.' I said, 'Would you like to come through and host?' Because you know what kinda dude Diddy is. He's like our Sammy Davis Jr. He's done so much on all levels, [so] I just asked. What's wrong with asking? He was like, 'I'mma check my schedule, and if it permits for it to happen, I'm there for you.' Next thing you know, he called me 48 hours later: 'It's on. I'm with you.' "
The Streets Is Talking: News & Notes From The Underground
Wonder if he works for Time Warner or Direct TV? Fabolous pulled a Jim Carrey and plays the Cable Guy on Ghostface Killah's new record "The Guest House" from Ghostdini: The Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City.
On the song, Ghost is frantic when his girl turns up missing. He calls around and then goes searching. He goes to the guest house on his estate and finds the lady with Fabolous as he's laying cable. Verbal jousting ensues between Fab's and Ghostface's characters.
"I was the cable guy in there," Fab explained. "I happened to come up on Ghostface's girl. Ghost reached out to me and said, 'I got this dope joint I wanna get you on.' It's kinda like, you know, how R. Kelly used to have those story joints with Mr. Biggs. I was like 'OK, cool.' As long as the joint sounds dope, which I can only expect from Ghost, and it came through. It was good."

The Wisconsin Narcotics Officers Association agrees with state Rep. Leah Vukmir (R-Wauwatosa) that medical marijuana is a "facade."
Testimony that is based on science clearly shows that marijuana is a marginal painkiller at best, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not approve it, and if Wisconsin passes legislation, our laws would become contrary to federal law.
The parade of people with real medical concerns at the Madison hearing on Senate Bill 368 and Assembly Bill 554 was sad, because those backing this effort are using them to reach their goal of expanded legal marijuana use.
Behind the scene, NORML (National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Law) is driving the engine, and the sick as well as well-meaning lawmakers are being used.
Polls show Wisconsinites are behind medical marijuana, I suggest dropping the word medical and ask our citizenry if we want marijuana.
Make no mistake, this is a foot in the door. It is marijuana legislation, and it is not genuine to refer to it as medical.

Odd logic
Did anyone else think it odd that Rep. Pat Strachota (R-West Bend) opposes medicinal marijuana because so many sick people would be included?
She noted, "The state Department of Health Services said 2.6 million state residents - or nearly half of Wisconsin's population - have medical conditions that could qualify them for the state registry."
Why would that be a reason to be against it? If the drug companies could find a way to monopolize that homeopathic remedy, it would have been permitted yesterday!

Contraception option needed
As a practicing Catholic and also as a pediatric nurse practitioner intimately involved on a daily basis with child and adolescent victims of sexual abuse, I was deeply concerned with the statements of Catholic Archbishop-designate Jerome E. Listecki regarding emergency contraception (Page 1B, Dec. 17).
I am very familiar with both the theology and science of emergency contraception. To administer this is never a decision made lightly. It is always done with intense discussion of the purpose and side effects. Sexual abuse and sexual assault are horrific, almost unspeakable crimes. The first step in the healing and, so to speak treatment, of this is to offer emergency contraception when age and clinically appropriate.
As a health professional, for me not to offer emergency contraception when indicated to sexual abuse victims, would be medical malpractice. More importantly for me, from a religious perspective, not to offer this would be moral malpractice.
Michael Scahill
Rating system would help kids
Like many Milwaukee Journal Sentinel readers, we are alarmed by revelations of fraud and connections to drug dealers among child care providers (Page 1A, Dec. 13). While the providers profiled in the stories are clearly not reflective of Wisconsin's 9,000 child care providers as a whole, the theft of tax dollars is disturbing. It is equally disturbing to consider the quality of care and early education children are receiving in child care programs that are defrauding the government or are fronts for illegal activity.
In addition to the aggressive measures being undertaken by officials to root out the misconduct, it is time to implement a quality improvement and assurance system for Wisconsin Shares that ensures our children are not being served in substandard or harmful settings and also provides incentives and support for programs to meet quality standards.
The Department of Children and Families and Gov. Jim Doyle are working on a detailed proposal for a quality rating and improvement system. The system would improve early learning for low-income children, provide parents with ratings to help them choose the best child care, help programs meet quality standards, and provide benchmarks for communities to measure the quality of their child care programs.
Other states' quality rating and improvement systems are showing impressive results. In the midst of stories of fraud in child care, Wisconsin has the opportunity to make a positive breakthrough for kids: a system that makes sure our children get a solid start. Readers who share our concerns should encourage their legislators to support the quality rating and improvement system.

Force through expanded care
Until today, I was a staunch supporter of President Barack Obama's health care reform plan. I supported it because I believed that the excesses of the health insurance industry must be curbed, tens of millions of uninsured Americans must finally have access to health care and because the free market has failed miserably at providing affordable insurance to all Americans.
I cannot recall a president who came to office with a stronger mandate for reform than did Obama. With strong majorities in the House and Senate, he should have gotten most, if not all of the reforms he promised in his campaign. But I concluded that the once robust reform plan has been reduced to a hollow shell that provides no relief to the uninsured and actually enriches the insurance companies at the expense of those uninsured Americans.
Democrats should immediately expand Medicare through the reconciliation process and quit wasting time.
The power of corporate America to purchase legislators and thwart the will of the people is nothing short of breathtaking.
Frank Haney
Officials taking some key steps
Gina Barton's Dec. 14 story "Allegheny County system builds trust by keeping kids with families" highlighted a child welfare agency that has become a national model. In addition to my quote that "Milwaukee has some work in front of it," I'd like to point out that Milwaukee is making progress.
Allegheny County owes its success to 12 years of change, and it benefits from having a human services agency with an array of services that support child welfare.
The Bureau of Milwaukee Bureau Child Welfare can realize similarly good results if the leadership continues along its new course.
Under Gov. Jim Doyle, the state has made organizational changes to create more community services to children and families, like those in Pennsylvania. Also, the bureau has reduced the number of children in care significantly.
The state's strategy is aligned with our national mission to accomplish the two most important things for vulnerable children: to keep them safe and to prevent them from languishing in care.
Wisconsin and the bureau are showing a commitment to change and are taking some key steps to improve outcomes for children.

Moniker wasn't tied to religion
I was intrigued by the Journal Sentinel's article about Coasties at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Page 1B, Dec. 16).
As a graduate of UW who lived among Coasties of multiple backgrounds in a private dorm, there are few people more qualified to comment on this divide than I am. I have close friends - gentiles and Jews - from New York, Boston, Washington, Florida, Texas, Illinois and California, among other places.
My point is that a person who discusses the difficulty an East Coaster faces in meshing well with others is either romanticizing and repurposing the struggles undergone by a majority of new college students or pointing a finger in the wrong direction.
A classmate of mine at Marquette University High School and UW, Troy Vosseller, started a company called "Sconnie Nation" in response to the condescension and even scorn heaped upon the locals by Coasties
One of my freshman year roommates, who was from suburban Boston, always smilingly referred to the two of us from Milwaukee as Sconnies. There was no love lost when we smilingly referred to him as a Coastie.
To bring references to Judaism into the equation is of questionable taste and about as pertinent as it would be to identify Sconnies with Germans. Whether Coastie is becoming shorthand for "Jew" is separate from the idea of "Jew" or "Wisconsinite" being coded language for something negative.
Having just as many gentile Coasties as Jewish ones among my friends, I can attest to the fact that there is little, if any, actual animosity among these demographics at UW.

Krugman in denial
Paul Krugman's column, "Economic disaster and denial," included his own denial (Perspectives, Dec. 15). He never mentioned the pressure put on lenders by Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) and U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) and their congressional committees to say nothing of the pressure Acorn put on lenders to make these ridiculous mortgage loans to unqualified people.
Krugman is the one who is in denial of all the facts that led to this mess. Next time, tell the whole story please.
Ruth Alt
Columnist missed the point
Hungry children do not learn: It's the basic premise behind the school breakfast program that columnist Mike Nichols missed (Editorials, Dec. 12).
I applaud school districts in Mequon, Milwaukee and anywhere else that start breakfast programs in school. Breakfast programs give children of all ages and backgrounds a nutritious start to the school day. Hunger does not discriminate.
Nichols also fails to mention that school meal programs stimulate business. In Wisconsin, school meal programs bring in $130 million in federal money annually. Ask companies such as General Mills, Kellogg's, Reinhart Food Service, and dozens of other companies in Wisconsin - school meal programs are good for their bottom line.
So let's see: School breakfast programs feed children, get school days off to a good start and support businesses all over Wisconsin.
As a taxpayer and parent, I fully support government programs producing such good results.
