On Monday, March 17, KING 5 News reported that a Portland, Oregon cat named Lux who "attacked" his family is now in an animal shelter.
The 22-pound Himalayan had trapped his family in their bedroom after "attacking" their baby. The cat's owner, Lee Palmer of Portland, Ore. stated after the attack that he would take Lux to a veterinarian. They also stated that they would consider psychological help for the cat.
"We're not getting rid of him right now," Palmer had originally stated. "He's been part of our family for a long time."
According to Multnomah County Shelter director Mike Oswald, the Palmer family called animal services on Monday and asked that they take Lux. Oswald says that the cat's family hasn't made a final decision yet.
"Maybe it's something that can be worked out through mediation between the family and cat," stated Portland Police spokesman Sergeant Pete Simpson.
The cat's attack was not unprovoked. According to Palmer, Lux attacked his 7-month-old child after the baby pulled the cat's tail. The baby sustained a few scratches on the forehead.
During the 911 call, Palmer stated to the dispatcher that he kicked his cat "in the rear" and the cat then "just went over the edge" and that Palmer and his girlfriend had to barricade their family in the bedroom.
During the call, the cat could be heard crying in the background as Palmer stated with panic: "He's charging us. He's at our bedroom door."
Police officers used a dog snare to capture Lux and then placed him in a crate.
According to Palmer, the family has had proposals from people wanting to adopt Lux, but the family wants to keep their cat.
Jackson Galaxy, cat expert and host of the show "My Cat From Hell," which airs on the Animal Planet, weighed in on the story.
He stated that there is always a human component to cases like this and said that Palmer needs to take Lux to a veterinarian to determine if the cat has any physical issues.
Pain can often be the root cause of apparently aberrant behavior among animals.
"It could be anything from an abscessed tooth to a brain tumor and anything in between," stated Galaxy.
The cat first had his tail pulled and then was kicked by Palmer. Galaxy points out that the worst thing to do is to put your hands on an upset animal, as it only provokes them more.
Galaxy expressed concern that Lux's story would cause other cat guardians to relinquish their cats rather than trying to determine the cause of their behavior.
"I want to know what it is that caused this to happen," he stated.
He added: "At the end of the day, I don't want this cat to die because of the viral nature of this story."
Updates to this story will be posted as they occur.

AT&T/T-Mobile merger: 7 biggest changes for customers
Mar 27th
By Andrew Couts
Provided by
AT&T massively reshaped the US mobile industry landscape on March 20th with its planned purchase of T-Mobile USA. The stunning $39 billion acquisition will merge AT&T, the second largest wireless carrier, with T-Mobile, the fourth largest, to create the biggest mobile company in the county. This pushes Verizon back to number two and makes Sprint's number three seat seem even more distant.
If federal regulators approve the deal — and they most likely will — the corporate union will consolidate 90 percent of the wireless business in America down to only three companies with 43 percent to AT&T alone. This likely means big changes for subscribers of both AT&T and T-Mobile (but especially T-Mobile) and they're not all good. Here are the seven best, worst and ugliest outcomes from AT&T's purchase of T-Mobile USA.
1. Expanded coverage
Through the purchase of T-Mobile, AT&T gains both additional cell towers and wireless spectrum. This is great news for both AT&T and T-Mobile customers as coverage should increase for all areas. For such benefits to become reality however, AT&T must first enable T-Mobile towers, which transmit a 3G signal at a different frequency than AT&T, to work with current 3G-enabled AT&T phones, and vice versa.
More importantly, AT&T-T-Mobile will sit at the forefront of the 4G movement — the future of wireless. T-Mobile already boasts "the nation's first 4G network" with its HSPA+ offerings, although it must be said that this is not technically considered 4G to some engineers. AT&T — which also offers HSPA+ but does not advertise it as a 4G connection — has announced plans to launch its 4G LTE network sometime this year. According to AT&T President Ralph De La Vega, the merger will bring LTE access to "95 percent of the U.S. population," which includes "not just major cities but [also] rural America."
This is one of AT&T's best arguments to the US government for why the deal should be approved, as President Obama recently announced the expansion of 4G wireless access nationwide as one of his administration's top priorities.
2. Higher prices for everyone
Fewer companies means less competition. And despite what AT&T wants you to believe, this always results in higher prices for customers. By swallowing T-Mobile USA, AT&T has killed off a fierce rival — one that has consistently offered better value plans that AT&T couldn't bend far enough down to hand out. It's possible that AT&T could hang on to T-Mobile's budget offerings to keep a hold on the lower-end market, but don't count on it. T-Mobile is in the no-mans-land area of wireless. One step up from Boost Mobile and Cricket Wireless, but considered a challenger brand when compared to the big three — AT&T, Verizon and Sprint.
Regardless, if the plan is approved, anyone who wants to sign with a major wireless carrier is left with three choices: AT&T-T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel. Unfortunately, Sprint (which came out firmly against the deal) would be roughly one third the size of an AT&T-T-Mobile conglomerate and much less competitive overall. Because of this disparity between carriers, the prices of the US mobile market will be essentially controlled by the top two largest cellular companies: AT&T-T-Mobile and Verizon — not exactly the kind of business environment that results in good deals.
3. T-Mobile users get the iPhone — in a year
Yes, it is a near certainty that current T-Mobile subscribers will eventually have access to Apple's iPhone without having to switch wireless providers. Seeing as the deal is estimated to take a year to finalize however, access won't be immediate. As T-Mobile explains in the mandatory set of FAQs released after news of the deal hit the press: "T-Mobile USA remains an independent company. The acquisition is expected to be completed in approximately 12 months. We do not offer the iPhone. We offer cutting edge devices like the Samsung Galaxy S 4G and coming soon our new Sidekick 4G."
4. Customers will have fewer phones choices overall
While T-Mobile customers should expect to have access to a greater number of phones, the overall number of handsets available to US customers will likely shrink. Rather than continue to offer T-Mobile's entire phone lineup, AT&T will probably pick a smattering of the most desirable devices to add to its arsenal. (Which phones AT&T chooses depends on how it handles its array of 3G/4G technology choices.)
Also, as the fourth largest carrier, T-Mobile could take chances on untested handsets, like the original Android smartphone, the G1. T-Mobile also allows customers to use unlocked phones, and even offers up unlock codes. AT&T's careful, lumbering ways will probably prevent all of this, which adds up to less choice for mobile users, not more.
5. Billing cycle changes and higher fees for T-Mobile users
Right now AT&T charges customers for the upcoming month, whereas T-Mobile charges for the month that just passed. Since the AT&T method gets the money in the bank sooner, expect that option to prevail. Also, T-Mobile customers pay less in fees than AT&T customers. Those fees, we believe, will go up.
6. No more "unlimited" data plans
T-Mobile still offers unlimited data plans, while AT&T does not. Or, rather, T-Mobile's "unlimited" plan give users the ability to use up to 5GB-per-month, for $30. Data usage past the 5GB threshold is throttled. AT&T's data plans cap out at 2GB, with extra charges for additional data usage. Expect AT&T to offer its 34 million new subscribers the latter.
7. T-Mobile customers get rollover minutes
Despite its reputation as the "worst carrier" in the US, AT&T does have at least one attractive feature: rollover minutes. T-Mobile users, whose minutes currently expire at the end of the billing cycle, can now look forward to the endless build-up of minutes that AT&T subscribers currently enjoy.
Obviously, these will likely not be the only changes. And the exact details should begin to become more clear as the deal reaches its close. In addition to the effects felt by customers directly, this merger stands to significantly alter the US mobile phone industry for years to come. For now, however, the fate of America's wireless industry rests on the federal government, which must decide whether or not all this is a good idea.

Microsoft's 15 Biggest Acquisitions And What Happened To Them (MSFT)
Mar 8th
Last week, Microsoft announced it would shut down the Sidekick service for T-Mobile customers, which it got as part of its $500 million acquisition of Danger in 2008.
The shutdown put an end to Microsoft's hopes of getting any value out of Danger, which was supposed to bolster Microsoft's mobile phone strategy but culminated in the ill-fated Kin phone, which was canceled six weeks after launch.
But Danger was only the latest in a long line of acquisitions that didn't go as planned.
Join us as we count them down from smallest to largest and describe the fate of each one.
Number 15: Fox database software for $174 million
Microsoft bought Fox Software back in 1992 for a reported price of about $174 million. The company made the FoxPro PC database software, and Microsoft later used its underlying technology in JET, the database engine that still powers its email product, Exchange Server. The company still sells Visual FoxPro today, making this one of the few Microsoft acquisitions that contributed lasting value.
14: Groove (and Ray Ozzie) for $171 million
Groove made peer-to-peer collaboration software, but as Bill Gates later said, Microsoft really bought Groove for Ray Ozzie, who eventually replaced Gates as Chief Software Architect.
Microsoft was responsible for $51 million of a $150 million investment in 2001 that kept Groove afloat, and in 2005 acquired the remainder of the company for $120 million, making this one of the most expensive talent acquisitions ever. Ozzie announced plans to leave Microsoft in October 2010, and sent a stark warning memo on his way out the door.
13: Placeware virtual meeting service for $200 million (estimated)
Microsoft bought this privately held virtual meeting company in 2003, and turned it into Live Meeting. Next year, Microsoft plans to phase out Live Meeting in favor of Lync Online, part of the Office 365 suite.

AT&T Becomes Biggest Windows Phone 7 Supporter
Jul 28th
After several years of being one of the biggest supports of Microsoft's Windows Mobile platform, AT&T has said that it will be "the premier carrier for Windows Phone 7."
That's what a spokesperson for the mobile carrier said in an e-mail to Computerworld this week. Although there weren't any details on what exactly this means, it is one of the staunchest pro-Phone 7 comments we've seen so far.
After Microsoft royally screwed up with its latest Kin line of mobile phones, and given how much it will need to overcome to remain relevant in the market of Android and iPhone, there's not a lot of big excitement in the air over the new platform.
It is unusual to see such a major operating system launch be met with such benevolence, but that is what is happening with Windows Phone 7. We still don't know when the first device to support the new OS will be available, or even what it will look like.
For AT&T, though, it is a chance to latch onto something new after it is most likely that it won't have the iPhone exclusivity to carry it through the year anymore. We're just going to have to wait to see if Microsoft can help to put a gap to that hole.

Blue-White Roundtable: (L)Eastern Michigan
Well, um. That was something. Then again, we should expect to be in a dogfight whenever we play our biggest rival. Fortunately, our Athletic Director has baked up another cupcake for the old man in the booth to feast on. As usual, Adam from Black Shoe Diaries has cooked up his own batch of questions, so be sure to hit up BSD later this week for a "greatest hits" of sorts. In the meantime, check out what else is being said:
William World News
Nittany Whiteout
Nittany Lions Den
Follow the jump to hear some barking…
Question #1 Penn State was 6-17 on third down against Temple on Saturday. What can the team do to fix that? Is it a quarterback derby issue?
The Underdogs: Punt on 3rd, or 2nd, or 1st. Allow the Defense to win the game. Did I say punt? No check that. We should never kick ever again either. Take a knee. Get the offense some practice in the victory formation. They'll never expect it.
Rowlff Dogg: Have more plays in the playbook. If it's 3rd and short, it's going to be a fullback dive. If it's 3rd and 5+, it's going to be a curl route that might make a 1st down. Of course, the QB derby doesn't help the matter. But I'm going to try a different approach this week. Since the stubborn old man in the booth always does the opposite of what I want, I'll offer this- I love the haphazard QB rotation! Please pare down the playbook a little more! Please stay as long as you want!!!!
J Schnauzer: The bigger issue is they were third and long more often than they were third and short against Our Traditional In-State Rival. PSU also was as unsuccessful in short yardage situations as they were in long yardage. After breaking down every meaningful third down I don't pin the blame on the quarterbacks as much as on the offensive line. The line was wildly inconsistent last Saturday. The run blocking was poor, the fumble in the quarterback-center exchange (on 3rd down no less) could have sealed the loss. In order to advance down the field with a vanilla offensive game plan the blocking needs to be sharp. Maybe another week will sort this out.
Question #2 Last week, I asked whether Bolden's touchdown drive against Alabama in the fourth quarter was his defining moment. That was clearly premature, so I'll ask again. Bolden's big drive at the end of the fourth quarter, particularly the slant to Moye on 4th and 2 - defining moment?
The Underdogs: Not exactly 4th and 15 or MRob scoring the go ahead touchdown vs. Michigan in '05 here. A few scattered displays of excellence isn't Bolden's problem. Most players with exceptional talent can do that, even Tony Pepperoni. We need consistency. A long sustained drive without the drive killing hiccups here and there. An entire quarter versus a semi-competent defense without a sack, fumble, sackfumbleception, would be nice.
Rowlff Dogg: Let's put this question in perspective. We're being asked if a touchdown against Temple is a defining moment for a PSU QB. My cohort, the Underdogs, loosely compares it to the 4th and 15 against Northwestern in 2005. I'm sorry, but that right there indicates how far Penn State's program has fallen. Two "defining" moments in the last decade occur against Northwestern and Temple?!?! Excuse me as I barf. (to answer the question: NO).
J Schnauzer: Along with Mauti's interception it certainly was the defining moment of the game. I loved the call. Going single-back on 4th and 2 with the game on the line instead of kicking a field goal? That has to increase the confidence of the offense. You can't consider it a defining moment until you have the benefit of hindsight, and sometimes a football season doesn't progress poetically.
Question #3 Anyone know anything about Eastern Michigan? Are they a candidate for Big Ten expansion?
The Underdogs: Caught some of the Michigan game last week. EMU put up a fight in the first half until they let the Denard Robinson cat out of the bag. Their biggest problem appeared to be red zone Offense. So we can commiserate. They look to run on 90% of their plays and Michigan's porous defense was gashed quite a bit before tightening on the goalline. The game probably should've been 14-14 at half. After looking back through their previous games, I suspect other than running game they are pretty bad. Their strengths play into our hands and if we can get any points at all, we should win handily. I'm much more optimistic about this game than Temple which quietly tormented me all week prior.
Rowlff Dogg: From a geography standpoint, Eastern Michigan is on the right side of a map, whereas Western Michigan is on the left. Central Michigan is somewhere in between them. Athletically, I know that Brian Bixler went to Eastern Michigan. And he stunk. Therefore, Eastern Michigan stinks. From a gridiron perspective, I've learned a simple lesson in life. If it wears green, plays football, and is named the Eagles, it's gonna be lousy. In short, we have nothing to fear.
J Schnauzer: Of all the directional Michigan schools, I consider them to be the least western of the bunch.
Question #4 How much can we realistically expect to learn about Penn State this weekend?
The Underdogs: An offense has to emerge. So actually quite a bit. One isn't going to magically appear come Big Ten season unless Michigan trades places with every remaining team on our schedule.
Rowlff Dogg: We can see if this team has any focus whatsoever. This game should be over in the 3rd quarter, Bolden should solidify himself as the starter, the OLine should actually do its job, and the special teams should operate without a hiccup.
J Schnauzer: Quite a bit. I think this offense can turn the corner against EMU. PSU will go with a balanced offense and feature two QBs in a final audition for the starting position. This time next week they will have decided on a starter for the beginning of the conference play.
Question #5 Prediction?
The Underdogs: 27-3.
Rowlff Dogg: 38-6. Penn State will notch its first passing touchdown of the year. Beer will be imbibed and dead animals consumed.
J Schnauzer: 35-7. Go big or go home.
Bonus BSD Question: With news Missouri's interest in the SEC and conference expansion dominating the headlines, what is the Big Ten's best next move?
The Underdogs: Stand pat. The only schools worthy of consideration are Notre Dame and Texas. No other potentially available schools bring academic & athletic fit along with households and TV sets. Thinking otherwise is naive and foolish. Texas has proven to be too much of a problem child to even want to deal with and ND is only in play if the 4x16 super conferences starts happening. They will sit by hoping to maintain their independence until the music stops and even then, they'll have a seat at one of the tables because they're Notre Dame. However, that is far too organized for a system with so many moving parts and entirely too self-interested, self-absorbed, selfish parties (see: Texas) to pull off. Not that self-interest is particularly bad, it's the way of the world, but when players in the game forget the inherent interdependence with others is when it is problematic. UT is out of friends and that might point toward their independence as well with a yearly game vs Notre Dame. But the difficulty of scheduling non-revenue sports will put UT and ND in a bind. I could see them trying to create some kind of national conference with the unwanted spare parts. Call it the Island of Misfit Toys where UT and ND get to be king and queen (you figure out which is which). And I guarantee there won't be revenue sharing as part of the deal. UT and ND see that as win-win. Big Ten sits at 12.
Rowlff Dogg: The Underdogs answered this question perfectly. No reason for me to regurgitate his response. So, I'll go a different route: swallow the MAC. I would love to see the Athletic Directors try to find new out-of-conference opponents.
J Schnauzer: Living in the heart of Missouri Tiger country, I can personally vouch that they are for the most part insufferable, delusional fools. Even so I've considered them a "good buy" for the Big Ten. The brand could turn 50,000 BigXII Tiger fans into 80,000 BigTen Tiger fans in ten years. If the SEC gets them it will be a strong addition to their conference. As for the Big Ten, they should sit back, relax, and get some final rounds of golf in before the weather starts turning cold.
Funny that you mention Brian Bixler, he had a "highlight" last night. Thankfully, he made the catch.

Starting out as the French Tennis Championship, the French Open, aka Roland Garros, was first played at the Paris Tennis Club in 1891. It became the first 'open' tournament in 1968 when it allowed matches between professional players and amateurs. Held at Roland Garros Stadium since 1928, the French Open is at the moment the only Grand Slam tournament played on clay courts. The second Grand Slam of the year following the Australian Open in January, the French Open culminated last year in a happy ending for Rafael Nadal in the men's and Maria Sharapova in the women's. The tournament prize is around 18 million dollars.

Homeschooling families in Minnesota have unique opportunities to learn about history. Many people envision history lessons as boring, stagnant, and lifeless. The Blue Earth County Historical Society (BECHS) brings history to life through popular programming for youth.
Open to grades 3-6, Young Historians meet once a month in Mankato to discover a new topic in history. Junior Historians, those in grades 7-12, meet with the Young Historians and have involvement in planning the activities as well. There is also an optional Club comprised of both Young and Junior Historians that meets after the regular meeting with extra activities.
The groups meet on the 2nd Saturday of each month throughout the regular school year, from 10:00-noon, at various locations. These meetings are free, and each month a new topic is explored in depth.
Last month the topics covered the U.S. involvement in WWII and the Women's Suffrage Movement, but they were taught in an unconventional way. Several Junior Historians studied the time periods and then held a debate for the other youth. These debaters had to be able to support and argue for the position assigned to them, even if they did not agree with it.
One such Junior Historian, a local homeschooled student, Alex, had to support a position that was against the Women's Suffrage Movement. This was a challenging idea to support for Alex, a girl who has grown up in a world where girls and women have rights and opportunities every day.
Alex decided the best way for her to accurately portray this part would be to speak from the point of view of a liquor dealer from the south, who also happened to be a man. In her research Alex found Samuel Hahn, and brought him to life during her debate.
When her turn came, Alex sauntered into the room, complete with men's dress attire and a moustache. She spoke with a southern accent (a challenge for a girl from Minnesota) about the duties of men and women and how women belonged in the home, keeping away from the business of men.
Afterward Alex said that even though the position she took was personally difficult for her, she learned more about this time period by having to defend this side. She felt that it would have been easy to speak for equal rights, but that when forced to look outside of a comfort zone she was able to gain a better understanding of this time in history.
Homeschooling families seeking to participate in Young/Junior Historians can contact Jessica at BECHS. History is always coming alive with this group of area youth, and the lessons are not all found in books.

PRESS RELEASE: Direct from Fluid Conservation Systems
New equipment helps eliminate exploratory digging to find leaks
Milford, Ohio (February 20, 2013) – Fluid Conservation Systems (FCS) leak detection equipment has helped Greenville Water (Greenville, S.C.) maintain its tight distribution network and low water rates for customers in a more efficient manner.
Greenville Water is responsible for maintaining 2,800 miles of mains to serve 168,000 metered connections in the city of Greenville and surrounding areas with a daily average of 58 million gallons of water. Some sections of the primarily ductile and cast iron distribution network are over 100 years old.
"We've always prided ourselves in keeping a tight water network," says Greenville Water Chief Operations Officer Murray Dodd. "But our leak detection methods were not efficient, and when a leak was discovered it sometimes took a work crew a full day to find and repair the leak."
Work crews would sometimes have to dig several holes in an attempt to find the exact location of the leak, and Dodd was becoming concerned with the cost associated with excavating and backfilling these "ghost holes."
After a product demonstration from Carolina Meter and Supply (Hampstead, N.C.), Greenville Water purchased FCS leak detection equipment, including 30 Permalog leak noise loggers, a Patroller II drive-by data collection system, a DigiCALL+ correlator and an X-Mic ground microphone. In 2012, the full-time, two person leak detection team found 57 previously undetected leaks using Permalogs, and assisted in pinpointing over 100 additional running leaks. Dodd estimates that the leaks found and repaired saved 20 million gallons of water in 2012 alone.
For additional information on the full line of FCS leak detection products, call 800-531-5465, visit www.fluidconservation.com or email email@example.com.

'What's this big box on the washing machine?' I asked. 'Oh, my coworker and I were talking, and she said she had a big box of broken cameras that she didn't want any more so I brought them home in case there was anything interesting in there...' Eh? What? Willing participation in my bad habit? Oh wait, maybe the price tag had something to do with it.... Well, as might be expected, most of the box turned out to be a bunch of nothing, you know the type, old Instamatics and broken Polaroid Land cameras and assorted flashbulb holders, and a couple ancient box cameras, one of which actually worked. So I thought it would be fun to clean it up and test it out, you know, just to see. In fact I was debating whether or not to even make a page about this one, since it's, well, 'just another box camera'. But it turns out that it's different enough, and takes pictures sharp enough, to merit some attention...
It wasn't much to look at initially, with its strap missing and showing signs of general neglect, but this little black box quickly revealed some secrets. First of all, it's made entirely of wood. The box is wood, the 'cone' is wood, with metal rollers permanently attached during the glue-up. The front of the camera, which I removed to get to the disc shutter and the lens, is actually held on by four tiny nails. Pins, almost. The back is 'hinged' simply with the leather the camera is wrapped in, not a metal hinge. And the back locks shut with a metal clasp that covers the rear seam. The simple shutter is a rotating disc with a wire spring, and clicks both on the up and the down stroke. One speed, somewhere around 1/50 I think. A pull-out tab gives three choices of aperture for bright sun, moderate sun, and cloudy. Another tab gives the equivalent of a B setting, though there is no flash sync. No tripod threads either for that matter.
It was made for A4 film, which I'm pretty sure was Ansco's name for 120, and indeed the comfortable wings that hold the spools easily accept 120 film spools. The frame goes off the film a little but no matter. According to the inside of the camera it was originally patented in 1903, renewed in 1910 and again in 1916, which is about where I'll place this... somewhere in the 1916 to 1920 range.
And here's the thing about this camera that got my attention even more than its wood construction - it actually has a really sharp lens! The sample shows how quickly the sharpness fades to distortion and blur at full aperture, but stopped down it's darn impressive for a simple camera of its age. I like the distortion, it's kind of dreamy and closer to the way our eyes really see, focused on one spot at a time. Would make a good daytime portrait camera.
Cleaned the exterior with Lexol, and the interior with a damp paper towel. Removed the four pins holding the front piece and cleaned the frosted view glass, the viewing lenses, and then used chrome polish on the little metal mirrors. Hit the spindle of the shutter with a spot of that Radio Shack Teflon-impregnated oil and did the same for the shutter release pivot. Also lubed the wind knob shaft with a little grease. Started to clean the lens in place and decided it would be easier to just pop out the snap ring. Dental picks are good for that, and I was right, I was able to clean the lens much more thoroughly once removed. I was suprised to see how rough the edges were, like it was chipped from a larger piece of glass, then ground.
Test roll revealed some light leakage so I added some felt around the inside of the back door:
Then when I went to photograph the camera I thought it looked shabby so I blackened it up with some black Kiwi shoe polish and hit the exposed wood spots with Birchwood Casey Super Black flat black paint pen, I love that stuff. Great for lens interiors!
Tips & Tricks
This shutter is not spring-return, but clicks down for one exposure, then takes another when you click the lever back up. Use a slow film like Plus-X or Ilford HP4 and shoot in daylight. Unless you're trying to get candids, that is - I haven't tried to shoot fast film and pull it back, but that might work. 125 ASA in daylight seems to be about right.
This is strictly a handheld camera; there is no tripod mount, no strap lugs, just a handle, er, except on mine. I know I could make one if I wanted to...
Loading film: don't forget that you need to pull out the film wind knob before you can get the 'cone' out. One side of the cone actually says TOP but you could probably figure out how it goes back by where the opening for the wind knob is.

Damien Crosse has no need for friends -- only fans -- which is why he dispatches of Rafael Carreras after they're done having sex. Unfortunately, getting rid of the body isn't his only problem: he realizes that his lesser henchmen haven't been paying attention to the hideout, and Jonathan Agassi slips by before they can catch him. But instead of a chase, Adriano Carrasco follows Will Helm and Kriss Aston and see where they live. He investigates to find Issac Jones at home. Issac is taken hostage and tied up outside by the pool; for being a hostage, he none the less has a bit of a smart-ass streak in him. He goads Adriano into letting his guard down by giving into his animal instincts. Adriano first plants a kiss on Issac, who is defenseless to decline it. But despite being his captor, Adriano is gorgeous male specimen, and so long as the moment is available, he runs with it. They kiss and tease one another until Adriano takes his pants down and shoves his big, flopping uncut dick in Issac's face. He doesn't bother hesitating, and only opens up and lets Adriano face-fuck him, loosening up his throat and mouth for his captor's pleasure. Adriano first pumps Issac's mouth before turning around and burying his ass and hole in Issac's face and forcing him eat his butt out. Adriano trusts Issac and undoes his restraints, and when he's free he wastes no time taking his clothes off and setting Adriano onto his own hard cock for a sucking. They take turns using their mouths on one another before Adriano gives Issac a deep ass-eating. That signals that he's ready to fuck: he puts on a condom and mounts Issac, fucking him deep; to hold Issac still, he wraps his muscular arms around his shoulders. Issac flips onto his back and throws his legs up into the air with his hole exposed and ready to be plunged. While Issac is on his back getting fucked, his cock head swells before it explodes with cum, and Adriano follows soon after!

TUCSON, Ariz. ?- University of Arizona men's basketball player Salim Stoudamire was named Pacific-10 Conference Player of the Week for Jan. 10-16, the league announced Monday.
Stoudamire, a 6-foot-1, 179-pound senior guard from Portland, Ore., led Arizona to a home sweep of USC and UCLA by averaging 26.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists. He connected on 57.6 percent of his field goal attempts (19-of-33), including 56.3 percent (9-of-16) from three-point range.
He opened the week with 21 points on 8-of-17 shooting, including 5-of-9 from three-point range, two rebounds and three assists in the 77-68 win over USC and followed that with a season-high 32 points, including the game-winning trey with 2.5 seconds remaining. Stoudamire, who went 11-of-16 from the field against the Bruins, scored 24 of his 32 points in the second half, including 21 of Arizona's last 27 points.
On the season, Stoudamire is averaging a team-leading 15.7 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, while shooting 53.0 percent from the field and 56.2 percent from three-point range. It is the third time in his career that Stoudamire has been recognized by the league office and the 62nd award all-time for the Wildcats, a Pac-10 best. It is the first such award for Arizona this season.
Seventeenth-ranked Arizona (14-3, 4-1 Pac-10) will next be in action on Thursday, Jan. 20, at Oregon. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. PST and can be seen nationally on Fox Sports Net.

No longer works on my Note 2 Like, at all. Totally non functional now, it acquires root, but the copy rectangle never appears.... Still not working
Limited functionality, but it does work when it works. I use a rooted galaxy tab 2 10.1, AT&T 4g lte version, stock firmware, stock kernel, stock modem, Nova Launcher prime. This app works well, when it works, I use it to copy segments from my e-text books for school in the Kindle app. I am constantly closing and reopening the app to get it to copy, no matter where I use it. More often than not, when one of the several methods of copying are used, it does nothing. But once in a while, it will work as intended, and does it's job marvelously. I paid you my 7$, now please fix it for my device.
Copy Paste It - bamf Copy Paste It - Works great on my Thunderbolt, Bionic and now my Galaxy Nexus. Copy Paste It is very easy to use, does exactly what is advertised. The dev is responsive & helpful. Love network mode.
Brilliant Fantastic app. This isn't just really convenient; it actually creates functionality that didn't even exist to start with! Simply superb! Well worth paying for.
Excellent I can finally have on Android the same cut-n-paste experience that I have on Desktop. I just wished it did clipboard management as well. Things get complicated when I want to copy more than one page at a time. Unfortunately, RAM is scarce so I can't install another application just to handle that. This is not whatsoever detrimental to this application. It gets the job done. I'm just politely asking for yet another feature to a great piece of software.
Good stuff Excellent stuff, I love it when a conspiracy like disabling android users from communicating efficiently is thwarted!

So I went new gun shopping last Saturday at the LGS. I was in the market for a semi-auto type of gun so I handled everything they had. I already knew I didn't want a Glock, I've had a few in the past and never liked them. I asked when they would be getting the new Shields, but they had no idea, said they could only order two, and they wouldn't tell me a price for it either. I decided on a M&P 40c and went and picked it up Monday. Love the 40c, handles the 40S&W nicely. So while I was at the range today, I noticed a smallish M&P behind the glass, and sure enough it was a Shield. The price tag said $359, and I couldn't resist. So here I am now with two M&Ps, one for me and one for the wife probably.
Awesome! Hope you enjoy them!
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
Wow, $359 is the lowest I've seen. Congrats!
Seems like the M&P's have really come down in price. It's quite a good price for quite a fine firearm.
-It is a seriously scary thought that there are subsets of American society that think being intellectual is a BAD thing...
The 40c was priced at $559, still not too terribly high looking around the internet.
The M&P 40c is one sweet piece. I love mine. I still love my Glocks but i may be leaning.I wish i would have gotten the .45ACP.
I gave $479 for a full-sized 9mm M&P a few weeks ago.
I have the shield in 40, now looking to add a full size M&P 40 with a light for home defense. I love my shield and I'm sure ill love the full size.
If you want to launch .40 cal. rounds, the M&P is a great platform to do that with. I bought a 40C when they first came out, in 2007, and picked up an M&P full-size 40 a couple of years ago, as well. They handle the snappy .40 caliber quite nicely. I much prefer my Glocks for 9mm. But in .40, the M&P is a better platform.
Inequality" is a law of nature, not something government can "re-distribute. The fit, well-educated, hard-working will prosper. And the unfit will not. It is not the responsibility of those who work hard and prosper to make the lives of those who do not, more equal."

The South Downs has been given the go-ahead to become England's ninth National Park.
The new 627 square mile protected area will be home to an estimated 120,000 people, stretching from Beachy Head to the edge of Winchester in Hampshire, in line with an independent inspector's recommendations following a 19-month public inquiry.
A new South Downs National Park Authority is expected to be established by April 2010 and become fully operational a year later.
Click here for our archive of news about the fight to make the Downs a national park.
Environment Secretary Hilary Benn said: "Having considered the inspector's report and recommendations carefully, and agreed that the statutory criteria are met, I have decided that the South Downs including the so-called Western Weald should be confirmed as a National Park.
"It is fitting that in this year, the 60th anniversary of the radical legislation that gave birth to National Parks, we are celebrating an addition to the family.
"National Park status can be a real boost for the local economy, attracting new visitors, businesses and investment, but above all, the South Downs' wonderful countryside will be protected forever for the enjoyment of everyone."

Returning to the friendly skies later this year, the Eastern Air Lines Group has filed an application with the U.S. Department of Transportation for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, according to Federal Aviation Administration on Wednesday.
Eastern plans on commencing its Part 121 certification with the Federal Aviation Administration shortly and has retained legal counsel and consultants for this purpose.
Along with United, Delta and American Airlines, Eastern Air Lines was among the "Big Four" that dominated the passenger airline business in the United States for nearly 50 years. It started flying in 1926 and operated until 1991, when it ceased operations during the first Gulf War.
Prior to its dissolution, Eastern Air Lines was headquartered at Miami International Airport.
"We are honored to have the opportunity to launch an airline bearing the iconic Eastern Air Lines name," stated Eastern President and CEO Edward Wegel in a prepared release. "We have recruited a world class board of directors and a highly experienced management team to guide and lead this effort."
The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 forced Eastern into a low-fare environment in which its high costs put the company at a disadvantage. It began losing money as it faced competition from no-frills airlines, such as People Express, which offered lower fares. In an attempt to differentiate itself from its bargain based competitors, Eastern Air Lines began a marketing campaign stressing quality of service and its rank of highly experienced pilots and stewardesses.
Unable to complete within the industry, Eastern was sold in 1986 to Texas Air. Led by Frank Lorenzo, he was once named one of Time Magazine's 10 "Worst Bosses of the Century," and was a ruthless corporate raider and union buster.
In 1989, the iconic airline known as Eastern Air Lines was forced into bankruptcy and subsequently ceased operations in 1991.
"I remember Eastern Air Lines growing up in South Florida," Plantation resident Rico Petrocelli told Examiner. "I'm happy to see a friendly name return to the skies. Kinda nostalgic."
The new Eastern Air Lines Group, Inc. is not affiliated with the former Eastern Air Lines. In the 2000's, the group purchased the intellectual property, including trademarks, of Eastern Air Lines. Quick to point out the lack of relationship to the previous Eastern, Wegel announced plans to launch charter flights with the Airbus 319 out of Miami International in late 2014.
"I was based in New York from 1961 to 1962 and in Miami from 1963 to 1969," former stewardess Kim Harper told Examiner. "What a beautiful way to remember an icon, but to resurrect it?"

Q&A: Systrom on Instagram's Competition (Ahem, Vine)
Vine, who?
Kevin Systrom, co-founder of Instagram, was diplomatic and coy on Thursday when asked about the elephant in the room: Twitter's Vine.
Though he did not mention Vine during his prepared remarks, nearly every journalist in the room, was comparing Instagram's newfangled video app with Vine– which debuted in January and has recently been on a tear. When Digits stole a few minutes with him after the event, we asked about Vine, again — multiple times. Systrom stopped short of acknowledging it is a real competitor, but he address recent criticism that Facebook has spent more time copying than innovating lately.
Edited excerpts from the interview below:
WSJ: You mentioned that about two years ago, there was an early discussion on whether or not video made sense on Instagram. When did it become clear that it was critical to integrate video, and when did you guys, in earnest, begin working on it?
Systrom: I'm not sure if it was ever critical, I think that's a strong word.
Two and a half years ago, almost three now actually, we were working on [Instagram's predecessor] Burbn and we just knew that people loved sharing moments of everyday life. In fact, the homepage for Burbn — and I don't think it's up anymore — said "to communicate and share in the real world." While that's not our mission that we say for Instagram — we say "capture and share the world's moments" — they have a lot in common.
Video was always part of that, but can I tell you how frustrating it was to use video apps at the time. I didn't take because it didn't have the same quality that I wanted, it was hard to send to people. And recently I think what you've seen is that people have started to become more familiar with short-form content when it comes to video and also data networks have gotten quicker. Internally, we started working on stabilization techniques that would allow you to take video and make it gorgeous. I don't know if you've used it at all, but it really does make a difference. In fact, if you take a video with Cinema and you go try to take another video, you'll never be able to un-see Cinema ever again, and it's happened with me too.
I'd say in the last few months, I think it became more of a priority because we realized we had the right pieces to put together, the data speed, the cinema effects, we figured out how to do filters on video really quickly and we grew our team frankly,
WSJ: What was the impact of watching Vine's rise on Twitter?… You must have been paying some attention to the competitors?
Systrom: I'm not sure Vine was a competitor to Instagram early on. We were doing photos and I think there are a bunch of apps — whether it's Cinemagram, … [or] Qik — there are a lot of these apps that do video. I'm not sure it's any one specific app that impacted Instagram in any specific way. … We've been able to grow to 130 million users through creating a community.
WSJ: Well, perhaps I phrased my question wrong, in terms of specifically your video efforts, how did watching Vine impact that?
Systrom: I'm not sure it had a specific impact one way or another.
WSJ: Was there anytime where you felt like, "Oh we should add this, they don't have that." For example, what I noticed was the ability to edit a video in a way where you would be able to extract clips.
Systrom: You mean remove the last one? So that really came from trying to record and … my frustration, that I was recording video and I'd get to the end, and I'd have the perfect video and then the last clip would totally ruin it, so I had to re-record it. We talked about video not being easy to produce and part of that is because you have one go at it. But then once we realized you could cut it up into clips. … It was very clear to me that we had to allow you to remove that last clip because you don't always get the right shot.
WSJ: On the business side, I know you said eventually Instagram will be a money-making business.…In what directions could this go? How can brands use these video tools on Instagram and how could that eventually lead to actual advertising on Instagram?
Systrom: In many ways, brands are already advertising on Instagram, in the sense that, when you see a beautiful photo of Nike shoes, or a gorgeous purse from Burberry, or even a skydiver from GoPro, you see these examples and that effectively is advertising because they are sharing a moment in time from their brands' perspective. What's fascinating is how many people follow these accounts. And it's one of those things where branded content and visual content fits right in. … I think in the future, video will just add another dimension to branding. … So, Burberry just recently used video on Instagram to document backstage at a fashion show. That's a way for you, as a consumer, to see a moment in time that you wouldn't have otherwise, from a brand that you care about it. So I think you're going to see more of that going forward. But, like I said on stage, I'm really focused on the organic behavior of brands, and seeing what they do most, and asking them how can we make you do this better, and finding our business model there.
WSJ: What is your response to critics who say that this is still too close to a follow-on on Vine? Can Facebook surprise us with products we don't expect?
Systrom: I'm not sure it's a follow-on. Facebook wasn't the first social network, right? Instagram wasn't the first photo-sharing app. I think technology is a constant process of combinatorial innovation. It's like you take ideas from all over the place, whether it's Twitter, and taking a combination of chat, email and SMS — or Instagram, and combining ideas of the follow model of Twitter with the power of images of Flickr. I think it's easy to characterize things as follow-on, but I think it's harder to realize that actually everything you've seen in Silicon Valley — period — is a combination of innovation that's happened before. But, as you've seen, it's not simply enough to say, "Oh we have that product too." You have to do something to it and innovate on top of it. But I'm pretty sure the experience with things like Cinema and our filters actually is a step forward. That's real science, right? And that's what's so exciting.

Holden Hurricane: Advanced Concept From GM's Past (Video)
A group of employees at General Motors Co.'s Holden unit has restored the Australian car maker's first concept car, the 1969 Holden Hurricane. While the low-slung sports car's styling screams "late 1960s," many of its features – like a navigation system and rear-view camera — were years or decades ahead of their time.
Originally code-named RD 001, the mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive two-seater was an experiment aimed at studying "design trend, propulsion systems and other long-range developments," according to Holden.
Features including electronic digital instrument displays, air conditioning with automatic temperature control, a station-seeking radio, rearview camera and an automated route-finding system made the concept seem impossibly futuristic when it debuted at the 1969 Melbourne Motor Show.
The pre-GPS navigation system, called Pathfinder, used a network of magnets embedded at intersections guide the driver. Illuminated arrows and buzzers on the dashboard prompted the driver to make turns. The rear-view camera used a closed-circuit television system with a camera mounted in the rear bumper connected to a small black-and-white TV in the center console.
Former Holden Chief Studio Engineer Rick Martin led the modern-day Hurricane team in researching the vehicle's components, systems and history.
"There are some genuinely remarkable ideas and technology in the Hurricane," Martin said. "From the automatic air-conditioning and magnet-based guidance system, to the inertia-reel seat belts and metallic paint, this was a car that was genuinely ahead of its time."
The project to restore the Hurricane began in 2006. Paul Clarke, Holden's manager for creative hard modeling, has been largely responsible for managing the restoration, the car maker said.
"The entire team has done a fantastic job in bringing this beautiful concept back to life," Clarke said. The Hurricane will be on display to the public at the Motorclassica, car show in Melbourne from October 21-23. You can see a video about the car here.

Lowland Plains on Venus
The surface of Venus is hidden beneath a perpetual blanket of clouds, but radar allows scientists to examine the rocky surface of the planet. The geologic history of the planet is being documented through analysis of regional radar maps. The lowlands of Venus are dominated by volcanic lava flows, which have many features similar to ones found on volcanoes on Earth or Mars.

If Brian Urlacher wants to see nude photos of his girlfriend Jenny McCarthy, he doesn't even have to track down an old Playboy Magazine. Apparently the blonde bombshell sends personal photos to the Bears linebacker. Or, we should say, intends to. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, McCarthy says she recently called her son's dentist after her son woke up with a sore in his mouth. The doctor told her to take some photos of the abscess and send them to him so he could have a better look, and what he got was a special surprise.
"It's horrific to remember," McCarthy said. "Evan woke up and said, 'There's this weird thing on my gum.' … So I called the dentist and said, 'This is insane.' He said, 'Take a picture of it and send it to me'.
"So I'm taking a picture of it and I'm sending it to the dentist and I sent him a nude on accident (sic)! I swear to God! The dentist is, like, 80 years old. I literally screamed at the top of my lungs."
If the dentist is 80 years old, his life must now be complete. Since we know Hilary Duff has the same hobby as McCarthy, her dentist is off somewhere crossing his fingers as we speak.
UPDATE: Once the story began making its rounds on Saturday, McCarthy responded to a tweet from our friend Matt Clapp and told him the story happened over a year ago, and that her boyfriend at the time wasn't Urlacher.
