Guyana dominate IGG table tennis
Team Guyana got a jump on the competition at the inaugural table tennis competition at the Inter Guiana Games (IGG) last weekend in Suriname where they convincingly swept both male and female categories.
This year's IGG did not include the participation of French Guiana and as such was dubbed the Inter-Guiana Goodwill Games (IGGG) between Suriname and Guyana. This year's competition also marked the debut of table tennis as a sport to be played during the games. Other sports that are played at the IGG level include Chess, football, volleyball, swimming, track and field, basketball and cycling.
In their table tennis debut, team Guyana overpowered Suriname in commanding fashion to win the team tournament. Even in an impromptu singles tournament (not for IGGG points), Guyana triumph reaffirmed its dominance with Shemar Britton winning first place while Elishaba Johnson and Kyle Edghill copped third and fourth respectively.
The boys' team which comprised Britton, Edghill and Johnson scored a 3-0 win against Suriname in the boys' team event. Edghill defeated AdeshJawahir in straight sets (11/8, 11/6, 11/5), while Britton overcame KonoAbas 3-1 (11/4, 11/8, 9/11, 11/4) and Johnson humbled Mitchel Tamrin (11/5, 11/1, 11/6).
The girls were even more convincing, winning all their matches as well as the doubles encounter in straight set fashion. Guyana's Kristie Lopes made light work of ReshmaRamdas (11/3,11/4,11/4), while Priscilla Greaves nearly zipped ZoueHooghart 11/1, 11/1, 11/0. The Greaves/Lopes combination was equally impressive as they took out Ramdas/Hooghart 11/1,11/1, 11/1.

A look at the decline of Milwaukee's middle class
We've heard the saying: If you're willing to work hard, you'll be able to make a living and build a better life for your children.
It's the theme that the middle class was built on, but a PBS "FRONTLINE" series, "Two American Families" set in Milwaukee, shows that even though a family can work extremely hard and play by the rules, the American Dream can still slip right through their hands. The show airs at 9 p.m. Tuesday on PBS. »Read Full Article(98)

The two city officials in Harlem and Grovetown were not even aware that part of their citizens' tax funds were removed for personal remuneration before reaching the county coffers. Legal or not, this practice is wrong.
Columbia County officials have treated this issue with kid gloves, and would like to remove the issue from the public scene. As we all know, too much longevity in office of all our politicians becomes too much temptation for abuse of power.
If the voting public is comfortable with that, don't expect cronyism to disappear. Freedom and responsibility go hand in hand, and it takes citizen participation and a watchful eye.
As Ronald Reagan said, a bloated government is the problem.
Will we correct these problems at the ballot box?

Mattress Ratings >> Innerspring Beds > Simmons Beautyrest Reviews
Based on 704 Owner Experiences Gathered From 255 Sources
THE GOOD: Beautyrest and Beautysleep have wide availability in stores and online. They come in a variety of firmness, comfort and price levels. Reports of excessive heat retention and initial off gassing odor are limited.
THE BAD: They mostly have below average owner satisfaction and durability / longevity – as do innerspring beds overall. Simmons has a relatively high number of Better Business Bureau complaints.
THE BEDS: The comfort layer can include regular foam, gel-infused regular foam, memory foam, gel-infused memory foam. Pocket coils are often used for support.
THE COMPANY: Simmons Bedding Company – founded in 1870, under current ownership since 2012 – makes low- to high-priced spring-based and foam-based mattresses. It is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia and has a "C" SLTD rating.
THE COMPETITION: Sealy and Serta are the main competition. See the innerspring mattress reviews – summary or the mattress comparison to learn how Simmons compares to these and other brands.

* This model currently has a fairly small, statistically insignificant sample size due to model newness and or low sales volume. Ratings are based on this sample and possibly the owner experiences of similar discontinued models. Some ratings may also be based in part on the estimate of Sleep Like The Dead.
** Included in the sample size of the Recharge and Recharge World Class are similar but discontinued models, namely Classic, Elite and Exceptionale.
Durability and longevity problems make up over 50% of the complaints from Simmons Beautyrest / Beautysleep consumers. This rate, however, is often common for innerspring bed brands.
Initial comfort / pain relief, better sleep, and good motion isolation make up about 70% of the praises from Beautyrest / Beautysleep consumers.
Simmons innerspring mattresses overall have 62% owner satisfaction. Satisfaction can vary somewhat by model. All Simmons innerspring models rate below most non-innerspring mattresses (memory foam, latex, air.) See the mattress comparison for details.
* partial estimate
Among the various Simmons models, non-pillow top models often rate somewhat higher than pillow top models. This is due mainly to non-pillow top models having better durability, edge support, and sleep temperature. See the truth about pillow top mattresses.
Like most innerspring mattresses, satisfaction is often high for the first one to two years and then falls at a rate faster than mattresses overall due mainly to sagging / poor longevity.
As is true with most innerspring mattresses, at least 25% of Beautyrest and Beautysleep owners report sagging occurring to an extent that makes the mattress significantly less comfortable and supportive within the first three years.
Models with a thick pillow top or thick comfort layer appear to have the most problem with sagging. Firm models – models without a pillow top or much padding – tend to have somewhat fewer sagging complaints, but they too can sag significantly.
A person's size / weight does not appear to be a major factor in regard to whether and to what extent a Beautyrest or Beautysleep may sag.
In addition, while Serta and Sealy – Simmons main competitors – seem to have made some limited improvement in durability / longevity in recent years, Simmons does not appear to have also done so.
On average, consumers report keeping their Simmons mattress for about six years with regular use. Using the mattress only temporarily or occasionally will tend to result in an extended lifespan.
* partial estimate
See mattress longevity for general longevity / durability analysis.
Firm, entry-level Beautysleep and Beautyrest models can start as low as $400-$500 (queen), while the more luxurious and thicker models, especially Black, can cost $2,300 or more – not including a foundation.
See Beautysleep / Beautyrest prices and specs for more details.
Owners of Beautyrest models especially often report good initial pain relief from their mattress, including back pain relief.
However, the prevention and reduction of pain is generally not a long-term strength of the beds (nor is it a strength of innerspring mattresses in general). This is because sagging, including the development of body impressions, may lead to pain including back pain. At least 16% of Simmons owners claim that mattress sagging is a cause of their (back) pain.
* partial estimate
See mattresses and pain relief for general analysis.
A conforming mattress is one that contours to the sleeper's body. Such a mattress tends to support one's body weight more equally than a non-conforming mattress, providing more of a cradling, cloud-like, pressure-relieving feel.
Memory foam tends to provide the most noticeable conforming support. And how much memory foam is present is an important factor in how conforming the mattress is.
Beautysleep models tend to have little if any memory foam content, meaning they provide minimal conforming support. Depending on the model, Beautyrest may have fairly significant memory foam content. Models with at least two inches of memory foam tend to have the most conforming potential.
Sleep quality is about average to somewhat above average as 20% of owners report less tossing / turning or more restful, efficient sleep. Those models that have at least two inches of memory foam appear to perform best on this issue.
* partial estimate
The higher coil count and superior coil systems often found in the more expensive Simmons models tend to result in somewhat above-average support. Mattress sagging, however, can significantly undermine the ability of the mattress to properly bear the weight of the sleeper.
* partial estimate
The more expensive Simmons models tend to have better edge support than the less expensive models. Good edge support allows a person to sleep or sit comfortably near the edge of the bed without rolling or sliding off.
* partial estimate
Beautyrest models are mostly effective in isolating movement made by one person so that another person on the bed is not much disturbed. Put differently, they tend to minimize bounce. As a result, Beautyrest tends to have above average couple friendliness.
* partial estimate
General analysis: mattress motion isolation.
Beautyrest and Beautysleep tend to not have a significant problem with off gassing as only about 5% of owners overall report the problem. Off gassing is a chemical-like odor that a mattress can give off when it is new due to the packaging and or manufacturing process.
* partial estimate
See mattress off gassing for general analysis.
Overall, about 6% of owners report a sleeping hot problem. Models that have significant memory foam or those with a thick, soft pillow top have the most potential to retain heat to an uncomfortable extent.
* partial estimate
Models with thicker comfort layers – especially those with at least two inches of memory foam – can cause the sleeper to sink into the bed to some extent. This can make moving on the bed, changing positions and getting up off of the bed difficult for some people. Those owners who change positions frequently, are weak from sickness or injury, or are elderly usually have the most complaints regarding difficulty of movement.
* partial estimate
Innerspring beds in general tend to have somewhat above average ratings on this issue mainly because of the bounce action they provide. The Beautyrest, however, with its motion-isolating pocket coil design or foam design limits bounce somewhat.
* partial estimate
More info: Mattresses and Sex Comparison
Beautyrest models are better suited for larger people (230+ pounds) than Beautysleep models especially over the long term.
* partial estimate
Due to the weight sensitivity of memory foam, models with two inches or more of this material may not conform well to a lighter person resulting in less than ideal comfort.
* partial estimate
The coils inside the Simmons Beautyrest can occasionally make a popping or clunking sound – especially as the mattress ages – say about 4% of owners. The Beautysleep, limited owner experience data suggests, is somewhat more likely to produce noise.
* partial estimate
General analysis: mattress noise comparison.
Thicker and more expensive Simmons models, especially the Black which can be up to 17 inches thick, can weigh considerably more than thinner, less expensive models. Heavy weight can make changing linens as well as transporting, rotating or moving the bed difficult.
Simmons provides 10 years total, non-prorated coverage – like competitors Sealy and Serta.
At least 15% of Simmons innerspring mattress owners complain that the warranty is lacking in regard to coverage for sagging. This is generally a complaint for all innerspring bed brands.
More info: Mattress Warranties: What You Should Know.
The ratings below – based on consumer experiences and the evaluation of Sleep Like The Dead – show how Simmons compares to the average mattress manufacturer.
|Warranty coverage
|Simmons provides 10 years total, non-prorated coverage – like competitors Sealy and Serta. At least 15% of Simmons innerspring mattress owners complain that the warranty is lacking in regard to coverage for sagging. This is generally a complaint for all innerspring bed brands. (See mattress warranties: what to know.)
|Customer service
|The majority of owners who rate Simmons customer service say it is no better than fair – usually due to a perceived lack of help in mattress durability / sagging problems.
|Marketing accuracy
|The claims that Simmons makes are mostly factual, substantiated and reasonably reflective of the average customer's experience. However, given that Simmons touts its 140-year history, consumers should know that the Simmons brand was founded almost a century and a half ago but the company itself has been under current ownership since 2012.
|Specs disclosed
|Simmons tends to do a fair to good job of providing thickness measurements for the various layers of its mattresses, but details on the makeup of the materials is limited. As a result, comparison shopping and making an informed buying decision can be somewhat impeded.
|Time in business
|Simmons Bedding Company was founded in 1870 and has been under current ownership since 2012
|BBB rating
|Simmons currently has an "A+" rating with the Better Business Bureau. Learn more about BBB ratings. Simmons has had 178 complaints filed against it over the past three years (at least 54 in the past 12 months). This number is above average for a mattress manufacturer the size of Simmons. Almost all complaints are for warranty and product quality issues (as is the case for Sealy and Serta).
|SLTD rating
|SLTD (Sleep Like The Dead) company rating of "C" for Simmons is determined by averaging the above company ratings. This rating is similar to that of Serta and Sealy.
- Prices below are for a mattress only, not a foundation which often costs an additional $100-$300 depending on size.
- Price ranges below are due to the availability of different models within each line. Models in the higher end of a price range tend to be thicker and or have better material / design.

3 Microcoils are an extra layer of low-profile pocket coils.
4 This memory foam is infused with diamond particles for the purpose of conducting and dispersing heat; its effectiveness according to owner experiences is unclear at this time.

Ratings are based on 700+ owner experiences of various Simmons models including Beautysleep, Beautyrest Hybrid, Black, Recharge, Recharge World Class, and discontinued models including Classic, Elite, Exceptionale.
Simmons owner experience data was gathered from diverse and credible sources. Learn more about our mattress research methodology and sources.
– About one-quarter of Simmons innerspring mattress consumers report sagging or body impressions developing within the first 36 months of ownership. This rate is similar to somewhat higher than that of other innerspring mattress brands.
– A sleeper's size and weight tend to not be significant factors in regard to whether and how much the Simmons may sag / develop impressions.
– Entry-level Beautysleep and Beautyrest models can start as low as $400-$500 (queen), while the more luxurious and thicker models can cost $2,300 or more – not including a foundation.
– Beautysleep mattresses are likely best suited for temporary / occasional use or child use, like other value-priced mattresses.

Chapter 6: My Best Friend's Boyfriend
Moka held a mild curiosity over the gift Hokuto brought for his kouhai. That nagging curiosity would evolve over the night into full blown wonder. The more sake the diva had the greater her curiosity became. The entirety of Tsukune's attention was on Hokuto that night. She supposed it was a given seeing as Hokuto had been away for weeks. Tsukune was happily talking with his senpai while she felt as if she was glowering, the sake putting a bit of a hole in her stoic defenses. Kokoa was easily able to join their conversation due to their closeness and time together in highschool. It was times like this that Moka regretted not staying in the country to complete her education, but she never wanted anyone in the business to know what she was, who she was. She wanted to mold herself a completely new identity and become a phantom to the world she was raised in.
She wanted to be a model because she hated being scary.
She never liked that others shied away from her. She had a natural air of authority around her and a booming presence that called far too much attention. Japanese were far too attentive to people that were different. In a country where unity was held above individuality it was hard for someone like Moka. Her personality was strongly independent and even as a child she had difficulty conforming to the standards of her household. She had many troubles growing up, but the greatest one she fought was her loneliness. Her mother was a figure feared and well known around the world. There was not a household, especially in the great island nation of Nippon that did not know the name of Bloodriver Akasha. It was hard to tell if her surname was truly so or merely a title granted to one of such grace and power, but it protected Moka who, to this day, carried the namesake of her mother's family: Akashiya.
The blood of an Akashiya was as feared as their name. Members of the Akashiya blood, always female, were renowned for their beauty and grace. They were considered the modern-day Venuses, but that also included the deadly jealousy and murderous drive to be the greatest. Even though Moka's father has two other women in his life, mistresses, the Lady Bloodriver is content knowing she is most important in her husband's life. It helps that the Bloodriver fortune, earned through generations of financial conquest, keeps them on top. The majority of the Shuzen businesses and finances are controlled by the Akashiya household. Many times have the two mistresses of Moka's father sought to take over the power and every yen that was attached to the Akashiya name, but nothing stands in the way of an Akashiya, which led to a troubling and scandalous conflict between the Akashiya and Shuzen house.
The four sisters were kept far from the conflicts, but that did not mean they were untouched by them. In fact, if anything, they were far more troubled by the airs of animosity that hung over their names. Moka was the only child of her father of Akashiya blood, so many believed the girls would soon be at each other's throats for the fortune in due time, but their parents never involved them and the four sisters grew up close, often questionable, in that regard.
The idea of keeping one's friend's close and enemies closer was often believed to be a key to their relationship.
Hokuto patted Tsukune on the back and pulled him against his chest in what was the sixth bear hug (more like headlock) of the night. Moka was counting! "Well Tsukune, as depressed as senpai is, being unable to join you in your romantic getaway..." He teased and motioned his head toward Moka, knowingly. Hokuto knew well about Akuha's plans, after all they were close and were fond of sharing information. Hokuto offered a bit of leeway and offered secrets on controlling Tsukune's behavior and, in turn, Akuha would take care of Hokuto's cute little kouhai.
Tsukune was a very resolute fellow. He was agreeable, this was no question, but he had a very strong sense of justice. Business did not suit the gentle-natured boy, but he was easily coerced, which troubled Hokuto. He did not want just anyone signing his kouhai's payslip. He wanted someone who would make full use of his kouhai's unique skills. Tsukune always finished what he started, but most of all he had this sixth sense of the nature of a person. He could always see their best attribute and draw it out. For a harrowing business like the modeling industry it was difficult to drive the models without sending them into the breaking point. Tsukune had the ability to draw out their true beauty and keep those around him happy with his calm aura.
The business was looking to change the view the world held over it. Akuha was determined to make it something her sister could enjoy. Moka always wanted to be a model ever since she was little. Akuha remembered how she always talked about becoming a beautiful princess the prince could whisk away, but the older sister would never let any old prince take her precious sister away. Akuha spent her life to make her sister's dream come true. She took over agence presse for the sole purpose of seeing Moka's dream come true. Tsukune was the only one that she interviewed that understood that. It was not the company's dream to make Moka number one, it was hers. A model did not work if they had no drive. They were not their best, if they lost their purpose.
Akuha had taken in a few drinks herself and swooned over how beautiful Moka had become. The elder sibling whined how Moka has become cold to her and no longer visited the higher offices anymore, but Moka assured that was because Akuha drained her of energy and she needed to work.
"Mou! Moka is so cruel," Akuha complained. "It turns onee-sama on!" She squelaed and pulled her younger sister into an embrace, thrusting the platinum-haired model into her smaller chest. "Ah Moka's warmness. The warmness of an imouto~" She cooed while stroking Moka's head as if she was a cat.
The diva groaned and looked over to Tsukune who was in a similar, inescapable, position. The young man looked to his ward and gave a pathetic smirk. He wished he could help her, but he had his own problems. "A-air senpai!" Tsukune choked out, patting Hokuto's arm.
Ruby sighed and pressed her hand to her red-dusted cheeks, the drinks warming her body and soothing her soul after work. "Such affection, it touches my heart." Ruby exhaled, only for Kokoa to raise a brow mid-drink.
The red-head motioned to the S&M mistress and snorted. "Or your corset is too tight." She noted. Ruby blinked and looked down to her chest before adjusting it slightly.
"Arigatou Kokoa-chan." Ruby offered, only for Kokoa to sigh.
Tsukune's kouhai looked to him and motioned her hand. "So when are you guys leaving for Hawaii?" Kokoa wished she could go, but Akuha-nee-san forbade it. She did not trust Tsukune to really man up to this new role, all considering. He had not really shown much, if any affection toward Moka since they left the show.
He still acted like her best friend rather than her boyfriend. If she was that astute toward it, the press would likely blow it out of proportion. Akuha understood Kokoa's worries, truly.
"Ah," Tsukune chuckled. "Friday morning." He said with a smile as he adjusted his collar. He loosened it, glad Hokuto finally released him from that death grip. There was no question Hokuto took martial arts growing up.
"You need to act more manly." Kokoa bluntly stated. Tsukune staggered a bit and gave a wince. So she thought that? As much as Akuha did not really like playing these sorts of games with the paparazzi, it was necessary. Normally she was straight forward with them or made them forget about their antics, this time it was for Moka's benefit. She needed to learn to be a good wife, so that Akuha could taste her cooking one day! That and Moka needed to learn that sometimes lies were necessary in a world of pain.
"She is right." Akuha agreed. Moka glared at her sister, well up as Akuha still held her and pet her hair. She was not as lucky as Tsukune. Akuha would never let Moka go so easily, she was a very strict onee-sama. "Moka needs a proper man and if you keep behaving so flippant toward this duty, perhaps I will ask Morioka-kun to assist."
"No!" Tsukune and Moka both blurted out. Akuha grinned darkly before smiling brightly.
"Ara?" Akuha giggled. "If that is how you feel, than behave like a proper boyfriend." Kokoa, Hokuto and Ruby nodded. "Hold her hand, kiss her." She smirked. Tsukune and Moka both blushed at her words. "After all Tsukune is -"
"Aneue!" Moka shouted, finally worming from her grip. Her sister was so cruel! Such a sadist! It was no wonder Ruby was her perfect toy. "Please do not embarrasses Tsukune or I any further or I will not speak to you for the rest of the night until we return!" Right into Akuha's dark heart.
"Ah..." She whined at the cold words from her sister. "Very well, but remember this is for your sakes as well as the company's." Akuha assured, even if that was not the case.
Tsukune bowed his head and smiled. "Do not worry Akuha-sama," he began. "I will be sure to look after Moka on the trip and that she relaxes." Moka blushed at his words, feeling flustered and a bit like a burden. She did not want to ruin Tsukune and Fong's vacation, but she had been invited as a friend. That made her very happy. His words made her very self-conscious though.
Tsukune knew her as Moka, not Akashiya Moka. She never wanted him to find out her secret if she could help it. She would be heartbroken were he ever to turn away from her.
The thought was pushed aside as, for the rest of the night, the group drank and warmly spoke of the passed week.
It was the next day that the packing began. Tsukune chuckled as he stood on the sidewalk on the property of his apartment complex and watched the limo dropped Moka off with her mountain of luggage. They were going to take the Fong family car to pick up Kurumu and head to the airport from there. Tsukune would be driving. He wore his sunglasses and a neatly pressed, white collared shirt. His pants were beige and held up with a simple, leather belt. His shirt was always half-tucked, a mix between a messy fix and a neat attempt. His left hand carried his PDA, the man never too far from his technological life-line. His right hand was snugged into his pocket as he looked between Moka and the luggage.
"Really Moka?" He scratched at his cheek nervously. They were not moving to Hawaii... but he could not really say that out loud. "Can you handle all of that luggage?" It was a better phrased question that did not stand as confrontational.
Moka nodded. "Easily. This should be enough for a weekend, right?" She worried that she did not pack enough. An outfit for every occasion was an understatement. It was as if the woman was planning to live in Hawaii or some sort of disaster.
"Wonderful!" Fong shouted as he threw his arms into the air and sprang from the back of the car, after packing his things carefully. "Your enthusiasm warms my heart greatly Moka-san!" Fong praised. Moka blushed and gave the sweetest smile she possibly could. The young woman still felt bad for getting in the way of Fong's plans...
"I'm still sorry Fong-kun..." Moka apologized, but was halted from further apology when Fong held up his left hand, his right still perched on his hip.
"Worry not Moka-san!" The young, Chinese male assured. "Vacations are meant to be enjoyed and loved! Friends or family!" He smiled brightly, spreading his arms to the air. "Love springs from such warm scenery and hearts grow under the tender touch of happiness!" Fong pulled open the passenger side of the car and pointed off to the road. "Let us be on our way!"
Tsukune chuckled at Fong's cheer. It was infectious, he had to admit. There really was no winning against him when he was in such a mood. Fong always enjoyed heading off to such places. He was really a romantic at heart. Tsukune was not as fond. It was not to say that he did not enjoy his time with Fong or their activities, but he was not given to such enthusiasm. One could say he was a proper Japanese man in such a respect. Tsukune wasted no time in packing Moka's things, but they did have to shave down on the number of luggage and sent a few back with her limousine.
"Ah, Tsukune!" Moka called out before her manager and, currently, b-boyfriend, could make it into the car. "I got you something..." She reached over the top of the car and slid a strange box toward him. She smiled and fidgeted a bit, trying to distract herself from the embarrassment. "I-I thought you would like it, I mean it was no big deal. Just -" She was losing her place. Sputtering all over the place like this Tsukune must think her such a dork.
Tsukune kept that warm smile he was so known for. He was always very calm and insistent that others had their way and were happy before him. He was one that gained joy through the happiness of others. So long as his nakama were at peace, so was he. Moka was always so cute and thoughtful, even if she felt herself inadequate. He hoped that he could one day cure Moka of her insecurities. He wanted to see her shine.
Moka cleared her throat, his patience with her stunted words was a send from kami himself. She had trouble expressing herself clearly sometimes. Her heart was there, but she was always afraid of being rejected. "Thank you." She finally spoke out, a smile brightening her features. "For always being there for me." She lowered her head and set her eyes to the ground. She did not want to see his response. She had a strong fear that her feelings would not be accepted.
"Thank you Moka." He said, which caused Moka to look up, her excitement folded up inside. "You are always so thoughtful, I am touched." He reached over and slid the boxed gift toward him, very touched by the fact his diva would grace him with anything. A fan's dream. This was a defining moment in his life and he prayed she would never find out his secret.
Back at the agence presse headquarters a distraught Otonashi Sun was strangling the head photographer. Gin was trying to pry those tiny, white fingers off his neck as his assistants tried to calm the mute, loli down. "S-sun-senpai..." Gin choked out, barely.
Sun had her mouth parted as if screaming, shaking her kouhai with rage and blame. Gin feverishly shook his head. "N-no senpai, I ain't take yer b-black book! I swear!" As if, Gin did not want to die! Not so young!
Otonashi Sun carried a small, black book about with her. She wrote all of her words in her book and much of the information for the agency needed for the day was collected there. She was a secretary of sorts, but was really the one that ran all of the detailed work necessary to keep the company running smoothly. She never allowed anyone to touch that book. Gin, being the one to always complain that it was a cliché black book was the first suspect when she lost it, but the older woman denied up and down that she would ever lose something so important!
Haiji managed to lift Sun off the ground and hold the flailing loli as Gin was helped to his feet. "Whoa! Senpai, calm down, please?" Haiji was one of Moka's two bodyguards and one of Tsukune's former highschool tormenters. He was a lolicon, and the very presence of his senpai sent him swooning. He did not want to hurt her in any way, but if he left her to her task Gin would really die! She flailed and moved her mouth as she non-verbally assaulted Haiji.
The resident lolicon felt his heart squeeze as he set Sun down and staggered back before collapsing onto his hands and knees. The others looked around in confusion as it seemed only Gin and Haiji were really able to communicate with the mute ayakashi. Sun was respected and feared in the agency because she was known to be a Siren, but her mute nature seemed to make her approachable as Siren are known to be able to kill others with their voices alone. Haiji behaved as he had been struck by this deadly voice, but not a word ever left Sun's mouth.
A dark look came over her face as she pushed her foot into the collapsed Haiji and ground her heel into his shoulder. Gin tried to rush to his aid, but a glare in his direction, from Sun, quickly sate his stupidity. Gin fell to his knees in a full kowtow as he shook his head.
"I swear we ain't teasin' you senpai!" Gin did not make eye contact with his senpai when she was in such a frightening mood. Sun raised her head slightly and cracked her knuckles. "We'll find it!" At Gin's fear-filled response his assistants took off running to do just that.
Tsukune calmly drove along as Fong talked about the things his parents did on their last visit there and the best spots to visit. Tsukune seemed bored but he listened intently and seemed to smirk. Moka watched as the scenery went by. It was not like a limo. Tsukune and Fong drove a Buick Excelle. It was a platinum blue and had no tinted windows, unlike the cars and limos Moka rode in. She was excited, if she were honest with herself. She had not gone on a vacation in a long time and this time she would be with her friends! She only hoped this Kurono woman Tsukune was so fond of was someone she could get along with.
The car came to a halt in front of a large, western-style mansion. Moka could see someone skipping out the front door, talking to another. She had good vision, but not that well. The woman looked quite far away. The diva looked over when the driver-side door was opened. Tsukune had stepped out. The silver-haired model watched as her manager walked around the car to the driveway, as they had just pulled up rather than enter the long, stone-covered path.
"Tsukune!" Moka could hear the girl squeal as she rushed into her manager. The smallish, blue-haired woman had thrown herself into Tsukune and hugged him fondly.
"Kurumu..." He seemed happy, even though he tried to not seem overly excited. He was very happy to see Kurumu but he was always uncomfortable when she pushed her developed body against his in such a manner. "I missed you." He chuckled when the tiny woman slid to the ground and jumped back.
"Long time no see, it's been way too long!" The blue-haired woman said with a bright smile. She leaned over a bit and looked over to Moka who was trying to spy from inside the car. The girl waved her hand. Tsukune looked back and chuckled. He reached behind him and pulled open the door. He stepped forward, but Kurumu did not step back quickly so was pushed up against Tsukune's chest, to his discomfort... He sighed. She was always like this and he knew Kurumu was doing it on purpose. She always said their skinship was important as friends. Tsukune glanced down and motioned his hand to Moka.
Moka climbed out of the car and bowed her head. The diva felt uncomfortable seeing the woman pressed up against Tsukune like that. He was so close with her. It made her feel out of place. "This is Akashiya Moka." Kurumu hopped away from Tsukune and threw herself against Moka, pulling the surprised woman into a hug.
"Oh she's adorable!" The woman squealed. Moka was taken aback by the response. Usually Tsukune blocked others from getting near her, knowing about her fears, more like worries, of human contact. She was afraid of being hurt.
Moka inclined her head in greeting. "T-thank you." Kurumu swooned over the adorable diva. Moka looked over the small girl. She had a full figure that rivaled her own. She did not want to be a dangerous sexy, but the diva could not help but feel jealous of Kurumu's natural curves. Tsukune chuckled nervously, realizing Moka's line of sight.
Kurumu adjusted her bra to lift her breasts and turn Moka's eyes back up. The model flustered and blushed. "Moka," Tsukune began. "Kurumu is a succubus." To explain her pleasing form to the model, so she did not feel inept. Moka nodded in understanding. Kurumu giggled into her hand.
"Ah, it's okay, I'm flattered that even the professionals can spot perfection." Kurumu teased with a wink. Kurumu pulled Tsukune's arm so it was trapped between her breasts. "Oh, Tsukune did I tell you Nare-chi is coming with us right?" Tsukune glanced away and pushed his sunglasses up. Kurumu pouted and rubbed her cheek against his forearm.
Tsukune flailed a bit and pulled his arm away before smoothing out his sleeve. Kurumu giggled had hopped back, folding her arms behind her back with a mischievous grin. Tsukune peered over his sunglasses. At the front of the mansion stood a short, young man with ginger-colored hair. His hair was cropped over his eyes in a bowl-cut. He was sweating in the summer heat and sighed as he seemed to be struggling pulling the suitcase for him and Kurumu to the car. Fong had gone over to help. Tsukune held his head high.
"If he touches me, or Moka... or you, in my presence..." He left the warning hanging. Kurumu threw herself into Tsukune once again and hugged him tight for the permission.
"Hai! Thank you Tsu!" Tsukune huffed and went back to the driver's side. Moka looked over to the succubus and back to the man who was now at the trunk, packing (more like stuffing) the trunk. "He's my boyfriend... Tsu doesn't really get along well with him." Kurumu almost sounded hurt by the thought. The succubus' mauve eyes turned to look at Moka. Moka could see a strange gentleness in the demon. "Tsu says I can do better than Nagare-chi." She chuckled.
Tsukune was tired of waiting for the knuckleheads to pack the back. Why did men have such a hard time packing the trunk to its maximum capacity?! Tsukune banged his forehead against the wheel, recalling his mother's words. Tsukune got out and went to the back. Fong and Nagare struggled to fit things, especially with Moka's present luggage. Suddenly Tsukune's shoe came down on the suitcase and slammed it into a perfect fit between his and Moka's items. The man stood with his hands in his pockets and his sunglasses over his eyes. He was trying to hide his annoyance but it radiated off of him. It mostly emanated from the fact Nagare was present.
The man was sweaty, unkempt and often smelled of rotten lettuce. Tsukune did not like the fact he was Kurumu's fancy. He was more content knowing Kurumu was trifling through a harem of men! "Get- in." Fong and Nagare hurried to their respective doors.
Tsukune got into the driver's seat and adjusted the mirror. Fong settled himself beside Tsukune. In the back Tsukune spied Kurumu sitting between Moka and Nagare: Moka at the right side window. Tsukune was sure to shoot a glare at Nagare so he noticed before the young man smiled brightly. "We're off everyone... to sun and fun." Kurumu and Fong cheered, the pair always so full of childish cheer.
They headed off to the airport.

Research Projects
The AIMS lab functions as the central MRI core reading, coordinating and image processing unit for Johns Hopkins multi-center study titled, A Randomized Controlled Trial of Vitamin D supplementation in MS. In this ongoing project, the lab receives imaging data from various participating sites via electronic media. The researchers at the lab read brain MRI scans from MS patients to calculate white matter lesion counts. Specialized software developed at the lab is used to generate volumetric measures of brain atrophy and total disease burden. The post-processed imaging measures are sent to Johns Hopkins University.
Glutathione (GSH) is a critical antioxidant that plays a key role in protecting cells against oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species generated in the brain. In particular, GSH provides a first line of defense against singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radicals that are known to cause cellular damage and eventual cell death. Because GSH is consumed in this protective process, a reduction in GSH levels is noted in brain tissue undergoing oxidative stress. In non-disease condition, increased glutathione was observed after stimulation with extra-cellular glutamate, indicating that glutathione might also have a neuroprotective role to minimize glutamate toxicity.The primary objective of this research is to directly estimate the concentration of brain glutathione [glutathione] in vivo using H-MRS at 7T before and after initiation of Tecfidera in established MS patients considering switching therapy or being treatment-naive.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Petnut Nice Product for Cat or Small Dog My pets are all "indoor" pets but they have access to a fully secure screened outdoor room. I purchased one outdoor heated kitty house for the outdoor room and my Toy Poodle moved in immediately. As soon as she stepped out of the house, my male brown tabby cat entered and stayed there all afternoon. This house is lightweight and very easy to put together. The heating pad is not hot, it reaches the same temperature as a cat's body so there is no risk of overheating. There are plastic flaps on both ends so the pet can see out and use either entry. I liked it so much I bought a second one! November 8, 2013

Forty-two years ago this month — 2 March 1974 — anarchist Salvador Puig Antich was garroted in Barcelona's Modelo Prison. The following is a personal account by his sisters of the events leading up to his judicial murder.
"In his cell, facing a warder, the impeccably uniformed soldier informed our brother, alvador Puig Antich, of the double death sentences passed on him. According to the witnesses, Salvador wept. He was the third born of a family of six brothers and sisters. From an early age he had shown a tendency to advocate on behalf of the poor. He was expelled mid-way through the school year from the Bonanova De La Salle College for defending a fellow pupil unfairly treated by a teacher. It was hard to find another college to take him, but he did go back to school, the Pompeya Capuchin College; a year later he entered the Salesian College in Mataró where he sat his baccalaureate. It was there that he met Father Manero, the priest who was to be his companion during his last night a few years later.

APSB honors Students of the Year
CROWLEY – Twenty-nine students were chosen by their schools as the Student of the Year. After interviews were given, portfolios studied and the writing competition was judged, three remained, a parish Student of the Year for the fifth, eighth and 12th grades.
But all were honored Monday night at the Acadia Parish School Board's March meeting.
The board honored all those in attendance with a red carpet entrance, announcing them at the board meeting and a reception following the meeting. The parish winners were also given a limousine ride among other things.
"This is the best part of my job, seeing great kids doing great things," said Paul De Rousselle, Acadia Parish School Board supervisor of child welfare and attendance and transportation.
De Rousselle also boasted about how the 29 students post a composite GPA of 4.0.
The Acadia Parish Students of the Year are fifth grade, Ethan Richard of Mermentau Elementary, son of Shannon Gayle Perrio and Patrick Joseph Richard; eighth grade, Angelic Renee Bellard of Church Point Middle, daughter of David and Angela Bellard; and 12th grade, Raven Woods of Rayne High, daughter of Leola Woods and John Phillip Woods Jr.
Prior to the students being honored, Maxine Trahan, Acadia Parish Sheriff's Office spokeswoman, announced "Choices: Every Choice Comes With A Price" program and invited the board members to come and see the program which will occur March 21 and March 22.
The program is designed to make high school students better aware of the consequences of drinking and driving and distractions while driving.
"The Acadia Parish Sheriff's Department learned of a program that is used throughout the United States to bring awareness to young adults the dangers of impaired and distracted driving," she said. "I had the pleasure of learning of this program and immediately thought that this was something that needed to be brought to Acadia Parish."
The program will bring together multiple city and parish agencies and will emulate a car accident scene involving high school students.
Acadia Parish's pilot program will occur at Rayne High and juniors and seniors will witness the crash scene as a production crew begins work at 9 a.m. The students taking part in the program will be put into the custody of the Acadia Parish Sheriff's Office, which is spearheading the program, until the following day, when the entire student body will view the film and guest speakers will speak at the school.
"At our schools, the youth are having to deal with a high number of deaths among their friends each year, particularly at Rayne High and Church Point," said Trahan.
The program, after this year, will move to other high schools based on an application process.

Macrobrachium carcinus
Macrobrachium carcinus is a species of freshwater shrimp native to the Americas.[2] It is the largest known species of Neotropical freshwater prawn, growing up to 30 centimetres (12 in) long and weighing as much as 850 grams (30 oz), [3] although even larger specimens have been reported.[4] It is an important species for commercial fishing in the Sao Francisco area, where it is known by the local name of pitu.[5] M. carcinus is omnivorous, with a diet consisting of molluscs, small fish, algae, leaf litter and insects.[6]
M. carcinus has a tan or yellow body with dark brown stripes. Its chelae are unusually long and thin, to facilitate foraging for food in small crevices,[6] and may be blue or green in colour.[7]

Maybe city officials shouldn't be proud of cracking down on back taxes for so-called lap dances. But they have far less to be ashamed of than the allegedly tax-dodging "gentlemen's" establishments.
Oddly, though, it's the strip clubs that have been boldly making the case for tax-free titillation, even summoning the chutzpah to posit lap dancing as a form of contemporary theater. (No, really.) City officials, meanwhile, have been comparatively sheepish, almost as if they had been caught frequenting the joints rather than taxing them.
From smoking to drinking to gambling, taxes are levied on all sorts of activities that a substantial portion of society finds distasteful. And it's the city's job - one it hasn't always done well - to see to it that every tax is paid according to the law. Lap-dance taxes aren't the city's most palatable or important revenue stream, but going after them suggests a healthy trend toward more vigorous and uniform municipal tax collection.

Google Apps for Work continues to forge ahead, with the company revealing Tuesday today that 2 million businesses are now paying to use some part of its online productivity suite.
The service, which includes a business-specific version of Gmail and a version of Google Drive that lets employees work together, competes against established players like Microsoft as well as newcomers like Dropbox and Quip.
Large enterprises have a new Dropbox product tailored for them that the company unveiled at its user conference in San Francisco on Wednesday.
SAP is aiming to redefine analytics with a new SaaS (software as a service) offering that rolls up BI (business intelligence), planning, and predictive analytics into a single service built on the SAP HANA Cloud Platform.
"Really it's about simplifying access to a public cloud analytics experience that customers can trust," says Nic Smith, senior director of Marketing for Analytics at SAP.
Google Enterprise became Google for Work a year ago. The company opted for the name change because "enterprise is old business," says Amit Singh, president of the division at Google. Singh reflected on Google for Work's accomplishments since the rebranding in a blog post.

We brought a new LSV out to the house to take pictures of how it will fit in a 7' garage. Granted my driveway is sloped but I was surprised based on how my 2010 LSV fits. We had to take the board racks off but no added pressure to push the tower down further.

The Sixth District Court of Appeals has unanimously dismissed a complaint by the Sandusky County prosecutor's office that challenged an appointment to a vacant seat on the Woodmore Board of Education.
The court ruled the school board had followed state law when it selected Daniel Hoppe in May during a special meeting to fill a seat vacated by Grant Cummings, then the board vice president, who had resigned earlier that month.
The prosecutor's office filed its complaint June 11, arguing the Ohio Revised Code requires an appointment to be made by a probate court judge when a school board doesn't act within a required time frame. The complaint asked that Hoppe prove he is rightfully a member of the board and, failing to do that, asked to remove him from the board.
Board President Steve Huss applauded the decision.
Refinancing a portion of its bond debt will save the Genoa Area Local School District approximately $221,990, according to the administration, which announced last week it had completed a refinancing agreement.
The debt was incurred to finance the district's share of construction costs for the John C. Roberts Middle School building.
"This savings will go directly to the district taxpayers," Bill Nye, district treasurer, said. "I'll be meeting with the Ottawa County auditor to have the tax adjusted. This will effectively reduce taxpayer costs."
Voters in 1999 approved a bond levy to build the new school. The district also received a credit of $6.2 million from the Ohio School Facilities Commission for the project.
The school opened in 2001.
Oregon City Council on Monday agreed to pay $23,000 to Hull & Associates, Inc., to provide engineering design and to develop funding assistance for a proposed public boat launch in the city for access to Lake Erie.
Council also agreed to pay $21,500 to Hull & Associates to provide conceptual designs for the city's waterfront resources and possible funding partnerships.
City officials and Hull & Associates discussed the boat launch and other potential waterfront improvements at a Drainage, Roads, Buildings and Lands Committee meeting on Aug. 10.
For years, the city has discussed the possibility of developing a public boat launch, though it has never materialized.
"We get people inquiring about a boat launch all the time," Mayor Mike Seferian told The Press before the meeting. Locating an appropriate site has been the biggest challenge.
In a District 3 city council primary Tuesday, Peter J. Ujvagi and Glen Cook were chosen by East Toledo and Old South End voters to advance to the November 3 general election.
Ujvagi, a 69-year-old Democrat, finished with 882 votes (46.6 percent) and Cook, a 73-year-old independent, garnered 558 (29.5 percent) in unofficial results released by the Lucas County Elections Board.
Ernest D. McCarthy, a 73-year-old Republican, followed with 238 votes (12.6) and 20-year-old independent Robert James Worthington finished last with 213 (11.3). City wide, 9.1 percent of registered voters went to the polls.
Ujvagi, of 124 Paine Ave. in East Toledo, is well-known in Toledo political circles, having served in the public sector since 1970. He is a University of Toledo graduate, majoring in economics and political science. Ujvagi is currently chief of public policy and legislation and from 2010-13 was the Lucas County administrator.

Like most natural-born fighters, brothers Nick and Nate Diaz obviously won't ever grow accustomed to losing.
Nick illustrated this theory when he threatened to retire after each of his last two setbacks to Carlos Condit and Georges St-Pierre at UFC 143 and UFC 158, respectively.
And Nate, who's suffered back-to-back losses to Benson Henderson and Josh Thomson, received a 90-day suspension and a $20,000 fine for his use of a homophobic slur following his devastating loss to "The Punk" at UFC on Fox 7.
Although many believe the Diaz brothers each hit walls because of a hike in competition in recent bouts, their collective behavior outside of the Octagon has been even more alarming and unsavory.
Both Nick and Nate have trained under the tutelage of Cesar Gracie at his academy, Cesar Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, since they were teenagers.
But negative remarks from Nick following his loss over St-Pierre, coupled with Nate's decision to part ways with Gracie as a manager, have led many believe that the brothers should part ways with the coaching legend.
Here are three reasons the Diaz brothers need to leave Cesar Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
