[3]tag [4]Incest/TabooMom's Red Bikini Mom's Red Bikini by[5]69flowers(c) The first time I saw my mother in a bikini, I actually got an erection. I had always known she was a good looking woman but... Her bleached blond hair hung down below her shoulders and she usually wore it pulled back in a ponytail. She had a pretty face with blue eyes, a small nose and moist, full lips. Her breasts were large, full and heavy. She had a thick waist and wide, rounded hips, a large, sexy ass and long, shapely legs. My mother was seventeen when I was born so she was younger than my friends' mothers. I was nineteen when all this happened so my mother was only thirty-six. She looked and acted even younger. My mother had three tattoos. There was a rose on her left ankle, a butterfly on her right hip and a tribal design on the small of her back. She loved rock and roll music. The kitchen radio was always on and my mother loved to dance as she worked. My mother was smart and funny and fun to be around. My buddies thought she was hot and even though I knew she was, I never thought of her that way. She was my mom. Until I saw her wearing that red, string bikini. The top consisted of two tri-angles, held up and on by spaghetti cords that tied in bows behind her back and neck. The red material that covered her breasts did nothing to hide their true size and shape. Covered by just the tri-angles of red cloth, her breasts appeared even larger than they did when she was dressed. The bottom of her bikini hid the slit of her pussy and the crack of her ass but left most of the plump butt cheeks exposed. As she lie on the chaise lounge, on the deck behind our house, I could not stop staring at her breasts, her hips, her legs. At that point in my life, I was ready, able and eager to fuck every female who was willing. I was tall, muscular and good looking. I didn't have much trouble getting girls in bed. During my last three years of high school and my first year of college, I had sex with about ten different girls, including my sister. Now I was thinking about screwing my own mother. "Does my wearing this bikini bother you, Matt?" my mother asked. "No, of course not," I lied. "I usually wear this to sunbathe only when I'm alone because I know how revealing it is," my mother told me, "but I figured you were old enough not to be shocked by seeing your mother's body." "I'm not shocked," I assured her. I didn't tell her how turned I was. "I just never realized how beautiful you are." "Thank you, Matt," she said. "I don't believe you but thank you, anyway." Twenty minutes later, mom went back in the house. Ten minutes after that, my erection finally subsided. That night, and the next night, the memory of my mother, wearing that red bikini, floated through my mind as I jerked off. On Monday afternoon, I was watching the baseball on television. I didn't have to work that day and I wasn't planning on going anywhere so I was wearing knee length, baggy shorts and a white T-shirt. I had not gone out further than the sun deck, so I was not wearing shoes or socks. My father, as usual, was out of town on business. He had a great job and made a ton of money but he was gone more than he was home. My mother worked in the billing department at the local hospital. She would be home around five. Michelle came into the living room and sat down beside me. "Hey, Matt. What's happening?" she asked. "Not much," I told her, "How are you doing?" "Who's winning?" she asked. "They are," I told her, "Three-zip." My sister and I had always been close. She was eighteen, just eleven months younger than me. I don't know if it was because we were almost the same age or because our personalities were so similar but whatever it was, we grew up more like friends than siblings. Even after she decided, just before I left home for college, that we shouldn't have sex anymore, Michelle and I remained friends. Michelle was five-five and had dark, almost black hair that hung half way down her back. Her oval shaped face was pretty, green eyes, straight nose and full lips, and her body was gorgeous. She was wearing a green belly shirt, that showed off her full, round tits, and low rise, cut-off Levis, that showed off her flat stomach.. "Did you see mom's bikini?" she asked. "She was wearing it when she came out on the deck yesterday and my eyes almost popped out of my head," I told her. "Its really hot, isn't it?" Michelle said. "Sssmmmokin'," I told her. "When you saw her wearing it, did you get a hard-on?"my sister asked in an innocent but sneaky tone of voice. I looked at her, surprised by the question. "Yeah, I did," I admitted. "Did you want to fuck her?" my sister asked. I thought for a minute about how to answer. "If I got the chance," I finally told her, "I wouldn't say no." "Do you want to fuck me?" Michelle asked. "Are you serious?" I wanted to know, "you said we couldn't do it anymore." "I changed my mind," she said. "If we do it," I asked, "are you going to change your mind again?" "I don't know," Michelle said, "maybe... but I doubt it. Last year, you were going off to college and I was stuck here for another year. I guess I was a little jealous. But now we're both going to the same school in September. Wouldn't it be nice to have a fuck buddy close by?" "I already have a couple girlfriends at school," I said. "I know,"Michelle said, "and I want to have two or three boyfriends soon after I get there. That doesn't mean we can't have each other, too." My cock was already getting hard and I was thinking about her pert tits, her firm ass and her tight pussy. "You want to do it now?" I asked, putting my hand on her breast. I squeezed the firm mound through her blouse and bra, just to see her reaction. "Uh-huh," Michelle answered, licking her lips as she stared at me. "Will you suck my cock?" I asked. "Of course," Michelle said. She reached over and gripped my rod through the material of my shorts, sending a tingling wave up my spine. I leaned back, raising my hips off the couch, and pushed my shorts down around my ankles. I lowered my hips and without speaking, my sister gripped the fat shaft and leaned forward, sliding her mouth onto my cock. "Oh, fuck," I moaned, as Michelle sucked my pole in and out of her mouth, "that feels so good." With my eyes closed, a vision of my mother, wearing her red bikini, floated before me. I raised the back of Michelle 's blouse and unhooked her bra. Reaching around her body, I slipped my hand under her blouse and bra and played with her bare breasts. My sister groaned as I pulled on and twisted her nipples. Michelle sucked on the head of my cock as she stroked the shaft. Then she slid both her hand and mouth up and down my pole. She moved her hand away and slowly sucked my cock into her mouth. Her lips slid further down the shaft until it filled her mouth. She pulled back to the head then slid her lips even further down the shaft, this time to the very base. My sister raised her head, gasping, a long string of saliva stretching out between the tip of my prick and the corner of her mouth. She took a deep breadth and went down on me again, all the way down, holding the entire length of my cock in the wet, warmth of her mouth. "Oh, fuck," I groaned again, placing my hand on Michelle's head, "Once more, baby." She raised her head, took a couple quick breadths, and plunged her mouth back down, letting my cock's crown slip deep into her throat. Michelle pulled back and caught her breadth as she stroked my cock. "Take your clothes off," I told her. My sister sat next to me as she pulled off her blouse and bra. Standing up, she unbuttoned her shorts and pushed them down to the floor. She was wearing a blue thong which she slid down her shapely legs. I pulled my shirt off as I watched her undress. "You want to go in the bedroom?" Michelle asked. We grabbed our clothes and walked naked to Michelle's bedroom. We dropped our clothes by the door and my sister lie down on her back, on her double bed. I lie down next to her, on my stomach. Lowering my head to her breasts, I began sucking her nipples. At the same time, I moved my hand to my sister's crotch. As soon as my fingers touched her mound, my sister groaned and opened her legs. I cupped her cleanly shaven pussy and moved my fingers through her slit. Michelle moaned and gasped as I pushed one finger, then two, deep inside the hot, wet channel. Slowly, I twisted my body around, kissing and licking my sister's nude flesh, from her tits, along her stomach, down her belly and between her legs. Michelle gasped as I flicked my tongue over her clitoris then groaned deeply as I sucked the swollen bud between my lips. I was on my knees, my hands under the cheeks of my sister's ass. As I licked and sucked her pussy, I felt her hand between my legs, slowly rubbing my cock. She began pulling it towards her and twisting her body around until her head was between my legs. Then she guided my pole between her lips and I slowly fucked her mouth, pushing my cock deeper into her mouth, further down her throat with each stroke, while I kissed and licked her wet, hot pussy and the firm, smooth flesh of her inner thighs. Even as my sister and I 69ed, the picture of my mother's body, covered only by the red bikini, was sharp in my mind. Michelle pushed my hips and jerked her head away. "Fuck me, Matt," she moaned, "I want your cock in my pussy so much... Fuck me, please." I turned around, held myself up on stiff arms over her and slid my hard, saliva covered cock into my sister's hot, wet pussy. Lowering my body onto my sister's, I pumped my hips, plunging my tool in and out of her. The slick walls of her tight cunt gripped my tool as she groaned, chanted, almost screamed with pleasure. Our lips pressed together and our tongues explored each others' open mouth as my hot cum spurted through my cock and into her belly. Megan lie under me, her eyes closed, her expression peaceful. "Are you all right?" I asked. "I'm fine," she answered, opening her eyes and smiling at me. "Did you cum?" I asked her. Her smile widened and she put her arms around my neck. "Oh yeah," she said, closing her eyes, "twice." As I lay on top of my sister, I was thinking about my mother and her red bikini. "Let me up," Michelle said, "I have to use the john." A few minutes later, she came back from the bathroom. "I want to fuck," my sister told me as she climbed back onto the mattress. She lie down next to me and I pulled her warm, firm body against mine. As we kissed, our tongues slid into each other's mouth and I played with her breasts. I moved my hand down her taut body to her already hot, wet pussy. Michelle turned onto her back and separated her legs. I lowered my head and sucked her breasts as my fingers examined her slit. Michelle 's pussy was hot and wet. Her juices smeared on her inner thighs and coated my fingers. As I finger-fucked her, I rubbed my thumb against her clitoris and gently bit her nipples, making her sigh and groan with pleasure. "I think...I'm going to...cum again..." Michelle whispered, sounding a little surprised. Her cunt was wet and slick. I sucked harder on her tits and pushed my fingers deeper into her, rubbing her clit faster. Michelle was panting and her hips were jerking up and down. "More," Michelle pleaded, "Put all your fingers inside me." I bunched my fingers together, pushing all four into her. "Cum, baby," I urged her, "Cum on my hand." "Yesssssss," Michelle hissed, " yesyesyesyesyes. Push harder--go deeper." I pushed and twisted my fingers deeper into my sister's slick, slippery cunt as she spread her legs even further apart. Her back arched, raising her hips off the bed.. "More," she told me, "Push your fingers in deeper!" I pushed and twisted my fingers into her cunt and my entire hand slipped into her. "Ooohhh, FUCK!" she cried, squeezing her legs together with my fist inside her, "OOOHHHAAARRRGGGHHH!!!" The lips of her pussy encircled my wrist. The walls of her pussy encompassed my fist. My sister reached down and grabbed my wrist, holding my fist inside her as she lowered her hips to the bed. Michelle was breathing heavily, gasping as I slowly pulled my hand out of her pussy. "That was wonderful," she said, "I never came like that before." I stretched out next to my sister, took her hand and placed it on my cock. "Now you can make me cum, Sis. Suck it for me," I said, "my cock is so hard its ready to burst." Michelle leaned forward and the warm wetness of her mouth engulfed my erection. Her hands and mouth, her tongue and lips, worked to cover my cock and balls with her saliva. I sighed and closed my eyes, and thought about my mother as my sister sucked me off. The heat and pressure of my orgasm moved up into the shaft of my cock. I reached out and placed my hand on the back of my sister's head, holding it down as my cum pumped into her mouth. It was almost four o'clock. Mom would be home in about an hour. Michelle and I went into the bathroom and got in the shower together. "I guess we won't be able to do this again until next Monday," my sister said, as her hands lathered my crotch. "You can wake me up when you get home from work," I told her, busily soaping her breasts. "Maybe," Michelle said, "but what if mom wakes up and catches us?" The vision of my mother filled my mind. "Turn around and bend over," I told my sister, "I want to fuck you again."

Corporate Advocacy Program™
As it turns out, when you get there to the orientation, the guy orchestrating the web of lies is the biggest creep I have ever seen. We started out doing the introduction of our names and interests to the entire group. Then we got the unfortunate "pleasure" of listening to him go on and on about himself for about 2 hours. He used innapropriate guestures and names refering to homosexuals and used out-dated 80's phrases. He downed every job out there on the market making them sound like they weren't anything compared to being a Kirby dealer/seller and that even a doctor and a lawyer have nowhere near the earning potential as someone who walks up and down the streets everyday selling ((a.k.a -ripping off) people a vacuum cleaner. Then after he ran most of the fore mentioned terminology into the ground, he mentioned how we should never show how nervous we are in front of our "clients" and that we would not want to look like a sissy or appear weak and vulnerable. Then, once again, an inappropriate hand guesture (limp-wrist gesture).
On your very first day you and a whole squad of unbeknownsts pack in a van and go to strange neighborhoods out in BFE, Houston. They have some young, good-looking females (oldest trick in the book) knock on a door and set up a sell. Then they send you (the supposed non-salesman) in to show them how to use a vacuum cleaner and answer any questions they may have and in the process they have you try to sucker the customer into buying a $2600 vacuum that they bought for $300 from a wholesale distribution company. They call that one "an upgrade".
You don't even get to take a lunch/dinner break. They let you snack on stuff here and there but I never to got to sit down and eat like a normal human being is supposed to. As a matter of fact, I never got through one sanwich or a bag of chips in one sitting. Modern day slave-drivers who are taking advantage of people who are ernestly looking for employment. They yell constantly at you and go psycho if you don't "make a sell". I told those bastards, "I am not selling anything, as you said in your interview."
Something should be done about this company and I mean quick. They are ruining people's lives. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if some day soon someone doesn't "go postal" on these bastards. I just wish I was around when it happened.

BWW Review: Jeff Harnar Dazzles A Sold-Out Metropolitan Room With An Engaging Revival of His '1959 Broadway Songbook'
by Victoria Ordin - Aug 23, 2016
When a show at the Metropolitan Room starts over thirty minutes late because the staff is frantically trying to find chairs and room for the better part of New York's cabaret community, you know you're in store for something truly special. And unless there's a chair thief on the loose in Flatiron who doesn't like Broadway, someone clearly oversold this show and/or lost track of comps; this was extremely vexing with a heat advisory in effect. Still, the mood was festive in anticipation of Jeff Harnar's 1959 Broadway Songbook, the 12th installment in Stephen Hanks' impressive (and increasingly well-known) New York Cabaret's Greatest Hits series. Harnar's show premiered 25 years ago at the Algonquin's Oak Room. Two years later, PBS filmed the collaboration with musical director Alex Rybeck, whose arrangements honor the original compositions but reimagine them in sometimes astonishing ways, making them genuinely creative acts.

After twenty-three years, Orson Scott Card returns to his acclaimed best-selling series with the first true, direct sequel to the classic Ender's Game.
In Ender's Game, the world's most gifted children were taken from their families and sent to an elite training school. At Battle School, they learned combat, strategy, and secret intelligence to fight a dangerous war on behalf of those left on Earth. But they also learned some important and less definable lessons about life.
After the life-changing events of those years, these children—now teenagers—must leave the school and readapt to life in the outside world.
Having not seen their families or interacted with other people for years—where do they go now? What can they do?
Ender fought for humanity, but he is now reviled as a ruthless assassin. No longer allowed to live on Earth, he enters into exile. With his sister Valentine, he chooses to leave the only home he's ever known to begin a relativistic—and revelatory—journey beyond the stars.
What happened during the years between Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead? What did Ender go through from the ages of 12 through 35? The story of those years has never been told. Taking place 3000 years before Ender finally receives his chance at redemption in Speaker for the Dead, this is the long-lost story of Ender.
For twenty-three years, millions of readers have wondered and now they will receive the answers. Ender in Exile is Orson Scott Card's moving return to all the action and the adventure, the profound exploration of war and society, and the characters one never forgot.
On one of these ships, there is a baby that just may share the same special gifts as Ender's old friend Bean…

"Lyons la Foret" Lyons-la-Foręt by Beausoleil
Lyons-la-Foręt Travel Guide: 5 reviews and 23 photos
When you drive into Lyons-la-Foret, you pass some tiny very medieval looking houses. Then you come to this gem where there is parking. This is the house where Maurice Ravel is supposed to have written Le Tombeau de Couperin.
It's a great introduction to the lovely little town.
For more pictures, see the Travelogue below.
This is a great place to have a cup of coffee while you watch the market across the street.
If you took away the cars, this would look like a movie set straight out of the Middle Ages . . . and it has been. Several movies have been made here so if it looks familiar, it probably is.
- Pros:Completely, utterly charming
- Cons:I can't stay forever
- In a nutshell:Lovely and relaxing

I'm filing this report because they filed a report with DAC and said I was termed. Actually, I had quit them. I fax their HR dept and explaining I quit. I even turned the truck back in and had the shop forman stamp his seal on the gate pass where I wrote I quit and was returning the truck. He gladly stamped the gate pass and accepted the truck and my explanation for returning the truck. It was a little over two weeks later I got a call that said I was termed. When I asked how is that possible when I already quit two weeks ago, Safety replied they have no notice of quitting. I filed a complaint with DAC but there was no changes. I'm not overly concerned because most truck companies know US Xpress operates on the shady side. I didn't know them and I guess I had expected better of their operating ethics.
Lucky for me, I have friends out of the street who are happy to help out. It may take a while, but I'm far from finished with these characters.

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds
AUTHOR: Shane - ()
SUBMITTED: Friday, May 31, 2013POSTED: Friday, May 31, 2013
I quit that company back in March due to the fact that after I started teaming, we were never home on time for our home time. I had an amazing fleet manager who quit shortly after I did because of what the company did to me. However, when I quit, I didn't have any problem with them the both times I did. I quit the first time due to family emergencies but I never got a call saying I was fired, never got charged for truck abandonment or anything. There must have been a hiccup somewhere but I'm going to assume it was cause there was nothing on satcom when you dropped the truck off saying I quit and have a good one.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Methods of quitting
AUTHOR: Dan - ()
SUBMITTED: Monday, May 20, 2013POSTED: Monday, May 20, 2013
In answering your question, I gave notice of quitting to the HR Dept via a fax and a telephone message. I also followed up a telephone conversation to my manager, and gave notice over the phone. I also dropped off the truck and returned the keys to the truck with a message that said I was quitting. Usually, when one returns the truck and keys, that should be suffcient enough notice. Sure, I went the extra steps as I already heard about US Xpress tactics.
I suppose I could have talked with the CEO in person and perhaps chatted about it over lunch, but that didn't happen.
Looking back, I'm still happy to have left. They can play all the games they like, because I can handle it.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#3 UPDATE Employee
did you quit
AUTHOR: Floyd - ()
SUBMITTED: Sunday, May 19, 2013POSTED: Sunday, May 19, 2013
how did you quit....? did you just turn in the truck to the shop and write "I QUIT" on the gate pass as you said....?? if thats all you did then NO you didn't tell them (the office) you were quitting
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

The 10 quirkiest physics stories of 2014
By Michael Banks
From a particle collider made of LEGO to physicists taking on the ice-bucket challenge, physics has had its fair share of interesting stories this year. Here is our pick of the 10 best, in chronological order.
The designated survivor
The nuclear physicist and US energy secretary Ernest Moniz may be 14th in the US presidential line of succession, but if something really terrible had happened in late January, then he might have found himself leading the world's biggest economy. That is because Moniz was appointed the "designated survivor" while US president Barack Obama delivered his State of the Union address earlier this year.
The speech, which is attended by the country's top leaders, including the vice-president, members of the US cabinet and Supreme Court justices, is where US presidents outline their legislative agenda for the coming year. A designated survivor is a member of the cabinet who stays at a distant, secure and undisclosed location during the address to maintain continuity of government in the event of a natural disaster or terrorist attack that ends up killing officials in the presidential line of succession.

Physics World Special Report: India
By Michael Banks
This year has been one of change for India. In May, some 800 million eligible voters went to the polls in an election that was won by the Bhartiya Janata Party. Led by Narendra Modi, the party went on to form a coalition government called the National Democratic Alliance.
Our Special Report, which you can read free online, kicks off by looking at how science is faring under Modi's fledgling administration. Indeed, in September, Modi was personally on hand at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to laud engineers who had just carefully manoeuvred the Mars Orbiter Mission into position around the red planet – a feat that announced India as a major player in space exploration.
Modi's personal interest in ISRO will not only please the organization's chairman K Radhakrishnan, who we interview for the report, but could also be seen as a sign that the new administration is serious about boosting science in the country.

Build your own LEGO particle collider
By Michael Banks
You may remember last year when particle physicist Sascha Mehlhase of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen unveiled a 560-piece LEGO model of CERN's ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider.
Well, not to be outdone, LEGO fan Jason Allemann has now created a LEGO-inspired particle accelerator. Dubbed the LEGO Brick Collider (LBC), the design has been submitted to LEGO's CUUSOO site, which lets fans share blueprints of their own models.

Physics World 2014 Focus on Big Science is out now
By Michael Banks
This year has been a special one for the CERN particle-physics lab near Geneva as it turns 60 years old. It was back in 1954 when the CERN convention was ratified by its first 12 member states and the European Organization for Nuclear Research was officially established.
The past few months have seen CERN celebrate in style with a whole host of symposia, meetings, plays, films, concerts and other events being held at the lab and at member states across Europe.
Indeed, researchers at CERN have had a lot to celebrate recently, following the discovery of the Higgs boson at the lab in 2012, and they will be hoping for yet more success when the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) switches on next year following a two-year upgrade and maintenance programme.
In the latest Physics World focus issue on "big science" we look at what has been going on at CERN during the shutdown as the lab gears up to hunt new particles beyond the Higgs boson. Once back online, the LHC will be generating even more data than in its previous run and this focus issue also investigates how researchers are going to deal with the huge volumes of information that will be generated at many upcoming facilities, as well the need to train the next generation of researchers to use them.

Pushing the frontiers of precision
By Michael Banks in Stuttgart, Germany
"There is nothing like this in Germany," states Klaus Kern, a director of the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, Germany, as we walk around the institute's Precision Laboratory, which opened in 2012 at a cost of €25m.
Kern took me on a guided tour of the the centre, which he has been involved with since its conception in 2008, during a break from attending a symposium celebrating the life of Manuel Cardona, a former institute director who passed away earlier this year.
The building is unique, not only in Germany but worldwide, as it offers researchers a space in which to do experiments that are seismically, acoustically and electrically isolated from the environment.
Physicists take on the ice bucket challenge
By Michael Banks
The ice bucket challenge, which involves people pouring a bucket of ice-cold water over their heads, has taken the social media world by storm raising millions of pounds for motor neurone disease and other charities.
Not wanting to miss out, researchers have also got involved in the act. One of those to take part is the Cambridge physicist Stephen Hawking, who has suffered with the disease since he was 21. He stepped up to the challenge – albeit with a twist. In a video filmed outside his family home in Cambridge, UK, Hawking says that as he suffered from a bout of pneumonia last year it would "not be wise" to have a bucket of ice-cold water poured over him. So instead he passed over the challenge to his children – Robert, Lucy and Tim – who were then doused with three buckets of icy water, while Hawking watched on.

Rebuilding Tesla Tower
By Michael Banks
Two Russian physicists have turned to the fundraising website Indiegogo in the hope of raising a cool $800,000 to build a Tesla Tower.
Leonid and Sergey Plekhanov – graduates of Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology but now working in industry – want to reconstruct the famous Wardenclyffe Tower that was built by the inventor and engineer Nicola Tesla to find a commercial application for long-distance wireless energy transmission.

Setting the standard for Brazilian materials science
By Michael Banks in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
As part of my road-trip round Brazil, I visited Inmetro – the Brazilian standards lab. Located around 50 km north of Rio de Janeiro, Inmetro certainly has the feeling of being well away from the hustle and bustle of one of Brazil's major cities.
The first thing that you notice when you enter Inmetro's vast campus is that the buildings have a unique architecture (see above). The bunker-like structures are built in such a way that they are protected from the Sun, which can deliver 40 °C temperatures in summer. (Thankfully, I am here in autumn, but the temperature is still a warm 30 °C.)
Inmetro's campus was built about 40 years ago with the help of the PTB – the German standards lab. The buildings were also specially designed so that the labs are vibrationally separate from the offices. So, any wild jumping around at your desk won't affect the sensitive measurements in the lab.

Boosting innovation in Brazil
By Michael Banks in Belo Horizonte, Brazil
I'm writing this while on a week-long road trip across Brazil to gather information for a new report that IOP Publishing, which publishes Physics World, is producing for the Brazilian Materials Research Society.
While on my trip, I have visited a number of institutes that focus on materials research. But I also had the chance to talk a bit of policy when visiting FAPEMIG – the main state funder for research in Minas Gerais, which is the second most populous state in Brazil.
In Belo Horizonte, which is the capital of Minas Gerais, I met Evaldo Ferreira Vilela, who is director of science, technology and innovation at FAPEMIG.

Could a canned UK-led telescope have discovered B-modes before BICEP2?
By Michael Banks
This week has seen physics news hit the mainstream in a way not seen since the Higgs boson was discovered at the CERN particle-physics lab in 2012.
On Monday, researchers working on the Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization (BICEP2) telescope at the South Pole revealed that they have detected the first evidence for the primordial B-mode polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). You can read our news stories about the finding here and here.
Yet could scientists in the UK have got there first if a telescope they had been planning to build – dubbed Clover – hadn't been axed in 2009?

Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Topic Overview
A carbon monoxide detector is a small electronic alarm that sounds when potentially life-threatening levels of carbon monoxide are present. The model UL standard 2034 (1998 revision) is set so that certain levels of carbon monoxide must be reached before the alarm goes off. This model will decrease the chances of a false alarm for carbon monoxide detection. The IAS 6-96 standard is another detector that meets specific requirements.
Carbon monoxide detectors should be placed in the hallway near every separate sleeping area and on each level of the home. Detectors are also available for boats, motor homes, and other recreational vehicles. And portable travel carbon monoxide detectors are available that you can use in a hotel room or cabin.
Recommended Related to First Aid
Read the Broken Hip Treatment article > >
You can buy a carbon monoxide detector from your local hardware or home improvement store. Most are easy to install. These detectors should be tested about every 6 months to make sure they are working properly.
If your carbon monoxide detector alarm sounds, get out of the building and call your local fire department. You should stand outside of your home or business until firefighters arrive. The fire department usually can help you assess the location of the source of the carbon monoxide leak(s) so that the proper repairs can be made.
Whether or not you have carbon monoxide detectors in your home, make sure you take other steps to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

BOOKS OF THE TIMES; At Last, The Wizard Gets Back To School
By JANET MASLIN
Published: July 10, 2000
By J. K. Rowling
Illustrated. 734 pages. Arthur A. Levine Books/Scholastic Press. $25.95.
The funny thing about Harry Potter is that he was famous from the start. ''There will be books written about Harry -- every child in our world will know his name!'' J. K. Rowling announced with spooky accuracy in the opening chapter of her first novel, ''Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.'' No doubt she meant this as a reflection of Harry's awesome powers of wizardry, not of his ability to land on magazine covers and lure children to bookstores at the witching hour. But the fact is that Ms. Rowling's gifts of prophecy have proved nearly as amazing as all the magical feats she ascribes to Harry and company. Still, not even she could have predicted this.
The frenzy that has greeted the fourth book in the series, ''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,'' would seem to go beyond any reasonable response to fiction, no matter how genuinely delightful that fiction happens to be. Instead, the current wave of Harrymania brings the Potter series to a fever pitch better associated with movie hype, major sports events and hot new Christmas toys. And it has placed Ms. Rowling, already the golden goose of publishing, in the dicey position of having to outdo herself with a sequel written under huge commercial pressure at twice the length of any of her previous books. We know what happens to talent when the tie-ins hit the Happy Meals, and the stakes get this high.
But Ms. Rowling, a kindred spirit to both Lewis Carroll and the pre-Jar Jar Binks George Lucas, turns out to be a fantasist who lives inside a thrillingly fertile imagination, mines it ingeniously and plays entirely by her own rules. Talk about supernatural tricks: she has turned this odds-defying new book into everything it promised to be. As the midpoint in a projected seven-book series, ''Goblet of Fire'' is exactly the big, clever, vibrant, tremendously assured installment that gives shape and direction to the whole undertaking and still somehow preserves the material's enchanting innocence. This time Ms. Rowling offers her clearest proof yet of what should have been wonderfully obvious: what makes the Potter books so popular is the radically simple fact that they're so good.
It is not immediately clear that ''Goblet of Fire'' is a step forward for the series, since it gets off to a shaky opening. Displaying her only real Achilles' heel, Ms. Rowling starts the book with a sinister, tacked-on prologue hinting at the whereabouts of evil Lord Voldemort, who is the Darth Vader of this enterprise and is so wicked that others fearfully refer to him as ''You-Know-Who.''
When she cuts cinematically from this whiff of peril to Harry's awakening with a start, she resorts to the kind of predictable storytelling signals that her narrative doesn't need. When you can dream up an idea like the Pensieve, a basin to hold one's excess thoughts until they can be dealt with at leisure, or a household clock that indicates family members' whereabouts (''home,'' ''work,'' ''traveling,'' ''prison,'' ''mortal peril'') instead of the mere time, there's no excuse for falling back on the humdrum.
The new book starts off with some explaining to do (and handles it expeditiously enough to be inviting and accessible to first-time Potter readers). Then like the three volumes before it it rescues Harry from his miserable foster parents (who this time will send him a single tissue as a Christmas gift) and restores him to the Weasley family, where he is warmly welcomed and where Mrs. Weasley cooks dinner with the help of magic (''pointing her wand a little more vigorously than she had intended at a pile of potatoes in the sink, which shot out of their skins so fast that they ricocheted off the walls and ceiling'').
Harry and most of the Weasley children are headed for Hogwarts, the academy of magic that Ms. Rowling has turned into the series' most seductive attraction, what with mischievous, mobile portraits on the walls and studies like Potions and Care of Magical Creatures. Never has one author done so much to make readers of all ages long to be at school.
But en route to Hogwarts, in a book that owes its expansive length to many such alluring diversions, the Weasleys and Harry stop at a kind of wizards' Woodstock. This huge outdoor event, at which magical types pitch wildly fanciful tents but can't figure out how to light matches, revolves around the World Cup Competition in the game of Quidditch, which would by now be played on sandlots and street corners everywhere if it did not require the use of flying brooms. Typical of the heavenly whimsy that keeps the Potter books so freewheeling is the catalog of souvenirs described here:
''There were luminous rosettes -- green for Ireland, red for Bulgaria -- which were squealing the names of the players, pointed green hats bedecked with dancing shamrocks, Bulgarian scarves adorned with lions that really roared, flags from both countries that played their national anthems as they were waved; there were tiny models of Firebolts that really flew, and collectible figures of famous players, which strolled across the palm of your hand, preening themselves.'' Also Omnioculars, binoculars capable of instant replay.

LabCorp Climbs on Report Company May Be a Buyout Target
Laboratory Corp. of America Holdings, which provides medical testing services, rose the most in almost four years as investors bet the company may be the target of a private equity buyout.
LabCorp gained 4.5 percent to $87.90 at the close in New York, the biggest increase since October 2008, after Debtwire reported the Burlington, North Carolina-based company may be bought. LabCorp said today in a statement it has "no knowledge of any such plans" and is not in talks on a deal.
Bank of America Corp. is heading efforts to raise capital for the buyout, according to the report from Debtwire, which didn't identify the source of the information. If a deal is in the works, it's probably in the very early stages based on LabCorp's statement, said Kevin Ellich, an analyst with Piper Jaffray & Co.
"You really have to think they don't know anything at this point," said Ellich. "It could be really early. The possibility does exist that private equity is preparing to put an offer together to present to the company, but that is pure speculation."
Market Value
LabCorp might go for $100 a share in a private equity buyout, a 19 percent premium over yesterday's closing share price, said Citigroup Inc. analyst Gary Taylor in a note yesterday. LabCorp had a market value of $8.1 billion based on yesterday's closing price, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
LabCorp offers testing services for doctors, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. Rival Quest Diagnostics Inc. also may be targeted by private equity, Taylor and Ellich said.
A spokesman at Bank of America declined to comment, while a LabCorp spokesman didn't return calls seeking additional comment. Quest spokeswoman Wendy Bost said the Madison, New Jersey-based company doesn't comment on rumor and speculation.
Quest fell less than 1 percent to $58.26.
Private equity buyers may need to put up $3 billion to $4 billion of equity capital for a purchase of LabCorp, according to the Debtwire report. Among firms that have the wherewithal to make a bid for LabCorp are TPG Capital and Bain Capital Partners, according to the report which did not say the two firms are considering making a bid. Other potential acquirers include Blackstone Group LP and KKR & Co. LP. Officials at the funds couldn't immediately be reached to comment.
Private equity firms have been the most-active acquirers of laboratory, medical testing, and research services companies in the past five years, accounting for almost $6 billion of the $19 billion in takeovers in the sector, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Carlyle Group LP and Hellman & Friedman's $3.4 billion takeover of Pharmaceutical Product Development Inc. last year was the largest takeover in the sector, the data show.

G'day, can you provide a link please? Also, what version of WordPress are you running?
Also, which web browser / version please...
Running WP 3.5 - here's a page:
Using Chrome Version 23.0.1271.97 m
or IE Version 9.0.8112.16421
The plugin is registering this script to load:
but your website is loading this script:
I can think of two reasons why this might happen.
1. Your website already has a script registered as 'google-maps', and it's loading that one; and it's wrong.
Fix: edit the file /wp-content/plugins/wp-flexible-map/class.FlxMapPlugin.php and change line 42 from this:
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', array($this, 'actionEnqueueScripts'));
to this:
add_action('init', array($this, 'actionEnqueueScripts'), 1);
If that fixes the problem, then you have something else in your website that is registering the maps API and you should try to remove it (or get the author to fix it).
2. Your website has something that is messing with the registered scripts and stripping off everything after and including the '?'
Fix: disable all other plugins and see if that fixes it. If not, then switch the theme to twenty{ten|eleven|twelve} and see if that fixes it.
Let me know if either of those things fix the problem, and we can then try to narrow things down.
Looking at your page source, you definitely have something there that is stripping all parameters off script URIs from '?' onwards. This is bad! I've seen this recommended in some dodgy blog posts somewhere, and it's very bad behaviour. Somebody needs a good spanking for doing that!
You need to determine what's doing that on your website, and kill it.
I updated the add_action line first, with no change in results. Disabled all the plugins, no change, switched themes.. and it worked! I re-enabled all the plugins and it still works in the Twenty Twelve theme. Alas, I can't use that theme, I need to use Tersus. Before you updated to 1.6.0 and had to pass "sensor", it worked fine, have been seeing maps without issue while working on other aspects of the pages, it didn't quit until I ran the update this evening. Is there some other way for you to pass the sensor indicator to that Google API?
I also tried putting it in the call like this:
[flexiblemap width=600 height=400 title="Test Title" address="Santa Monica CA 90401″ sensor="false" scrollwheel="true"]
Here it is on this test page (no joy):
The problem is that your theme has some code that is stripping script URLs of all URL parameters, i.e. from '?' onwards. It's a function in your theme.
The only reason it was working before was that I wasn't using the standard WordPress way to register scripts, I was directly writing the scripts in the page footer. IOW, the old version used to write exactly the same script URL as the new one should be, but your theme is chopping it off at '?' and stopping it from working.
It looks like you're using a child theme of the Tersus theme. Did you write it, or did someone write it for you? Does it / Tersus have any options about script versions, and can you turn that off?
The Tersus theme comes with a built in child theme that incorporates all the main Tersus theme and then easily lets you make changes to styles and still keep the core intact. It has a ton of options but nothing about script versions. I do have the PHP-Exec plugin installed so i can do
<?php do shortcode ... and other straight PHP code in widgets, pages, posts, custom post types etc. and that all works great, some with
&arguments tacked on there. Could there be a way to call this with native php in some way? I can also put code also into header and footers of pages as part of the theme for things like Adsense code and Analytics... there must be some way to get my maps back!
Tersus is a responsive theme made by NorthVantage.
You will need to speak with NorthVantage and send them a link to this thread, so that they can see what they've done. They will need to fix it.
In the meantime, here's a dirty hack that will get your website working again. Add it to the functions.php file in your theme (either the parent or the child, doesn't matter). Let me know if it doesn't get you working again.
function emergency_fix_gig_maps() {
// remove Google Maps script badly hacked by naughty theme
// directly write the Google Maps script
$protocol = is_ssl() ? 'https' : 'http';
$url = "$protocol://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3.10&sensor=false";
echo "<script src='$url'></script>\n";
// directly write the Flexible Maps script
$url = plugin_dir_url('wp-flexible-map/x') . '/flexible-map.min.js?ver=1.6.0';
echo "<script src='$url'></script>\n";
add_action('wp_footer', 'emergency_fix_gig_maps', 1);
YOU FIXED IT! WOO HOOO... yes that did it.. put it in the child theme and tried the test page above and there's my map!
Now where else on the planet can you get service like this at 3:45 AM in the MORNING! LOL
Thanks so much.. YOU ROCK!
Excellent, good work. Must be time for a small glass with a large Bourbon then :)
Oh, and it's almost 8pm here (Down Under). I hope you can get some sleep now!

Area unemployment rate is up
Published: Thursday, September 28, 2006 at 11:40 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 28, 2006 at 11:48 a.m.
HOUMA -- Despite a slight increase in the August unemployment rate, the Houma-Thibodaux metropolitan area continues to have the second lowest jobless rate in the state, according to Louisiana labor statistics.
The area, one of eight metropolitan areas in the state, also posts unemployment numbers below the nations average.
The statistics, released monthly by the Department of Labor, show the area has 2.7 percent unemployment. The July unemployment rate was 2.5 percent.
Lafayette posted the states lowest unemployment rate this month, narrowly beating Houma-Thibodaux. Lafayettes rate was 2.6 percent in August and 2.5 percent in July, when it was tied with Houma-Thibodaux.
Locally the number of job-hunters is up, despite an increase of 300 goods-producing jobs, including 200 in the oil-and-gas industry and another 100 in the durable-goods sector, or things like automobiles, furniture and household appliances.
Other metropolitan areas also added jobs: 600 in Baton Rouge, 800 in Shreveport and 800 in Lafayette, the report said.
"Louisiana has steadily added non-farm payroll jobs since November 2005 with the only exception being the month of April," said Labor Secretary John Warner Smith. "With this job growth and less than 4 percent of the available labor force looking for work, the state is clearly on the road to recovery."
The civilian labor force for the Houma-Thibodaux area is estimated to be 89,917 for August, a decrease from 92,070 in July.
Statewide parish figures are first issued in an "unadjusted" form and are revised at the end of the year. National and state rates are released in "adjusted" form.
Its important to be cautious when comparing unadjusted parish rates to adjusted national or state rates because the parish rates will likely change, sometimes significantly, said Morris Coats, a Nicholls State University economics professor.
Louisianas unemployment rate increased from its record-low July rate of 2.9 percent to 3.4 percent in August. The national rate decreased from 4.8 percent in July to 4.7 percent in August.
