A New Orleans man wanted for armed robbery and aggravated rape in New Orleans has been arrested in St. Bernard Parish, authorities said.
Eric Wilson, 49, who had been staying with a relative in Chalmette, was arrested Wednesday. The St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Office received a tip about his location after his photo ran in a newspaper, accompanied by information that he was wanted by New Orleans police.
Arrest warrants were issued in New Orleans on April 10, alleging Wilson committed armed robbery, aggravated rape and false imprisonment of a woman, St. Bernard Parish Chief Deputy Sheriff James Pohlmann said. The incident allegedly involved a woman from an escort service. He also was wanted on a 2009 warrant from Ascension Parish alleging theft.
Wilson was taken to St. Bernard Parish Prison but was later picked up by New Orleans police.

CHICAGO -- Nyjer Morgan, 33, made the club as a non-roster spring training invitee. He played in Japan last year after spending four big-league seasons with Pittsburgh, Washington and Milwaukee. Morgan left home in California at 15 and played four years of junior hockey in Canada, reaching the major junior level with the Regina Pats of the Western Hockey League.
Q. How did you get interested in hockey?
A. "My family and me were watching the 1988 Olympics in Calgary. I found myself a passion out there on the ice. I was seven and I asked my father if I could sign up for a local league. That's how it all started.
"I played in a Tier One competitive league around the Bay Area. We were highly scouted and I ended up playing in Canada at the age of 15."
Q. What position did you play and how much time did you spend in the penalty box?
A. "I started as a defenseman and ended up moving to forward. I was in the penalty box quite a few times. It was one of those things, I always played hard and that's what happens when you play hard."
Q. Do you think an NHL team would have drafted you?
A. "There was a chance I could have got drafted, but I always loved baseball so I figured I'd go to school (Walla Walla Community College in Washington). I needed to go to school and fall back on something in case sports didn't work out. That was my main intention."
Q. What took you to Japan last year to play for Yokohama BayStars after spending the two previous years with Milwaukee?
A. "It was an opportunity to go see the world. I loved everything about it – the culture, the food, the respect. I loved the game over there, too. The game is still equivalent to Major League Baseball. There probably aren't as many dominant pitchers as there are over here, but this is still one of the hardest games to play. When somebody throws a moving object at you, it's hard to make the magic happen."
Q. How is your alter ego, Tony Plush, doing?
A. "I've just got to let you know that he's on vacation right now. He's kicking back on an island."

Warrants issued in robbery
WEIRTON – City Police have issued warrants for the arrest of a man believed to have robbed the Donut Connection, 1325 Pennsylvania Ave., at gunpoint Saturday.
Lt. Gregg Moodie said the suspect, identified as James Raymond "Jimmy" Carr, was armed with a silver revolver when he allegedly robbed a clerk at around 11:09 p.m. and then fled on foot with an undetermined amount of money.
The warrants charge Carr, 42, with armed robbery and being a felon in possession of a firearm. No address is available for Carr.
Witnesses outside the doughnut shop told police they saw a man leaving the establishment jump into a "silver or grey" Neon.
"We checked with the owner of the car. They said (Carr) had borrowed the vehicle on a pretext of going to Wal-Mart to pick up his brother," he said. "The car was subsequently reported stolen through Follansbee police."
Authorities believe Carr may be in New Jersey and are searching for him as well as the missing car.
"The last information we had was he was in the state of New Jersey," Moodie said. "We don't know if he took the car with him or not, but we've been in touch with the New Jersey authorities and warrants for his arrest have been issued."

UK media reports that NSA scoops up millions of text messages per day
January 18, 2014, 12:00 am TWN
LONDON -- The U.S. National Security Agency has collected almost 200 million mobile phone text messages a day from around the world, a report said Thursday, in the latest revelations from the Edward Snowden files.
The Guardian newspaper and Britain's Channel 4 News reported that the NSA used the messages to extract data on the location, contact networks and credit card details of mobile users.
British spies were given access by the NSA to search the collected "metadata" — information about the text messages but not the actual contents — of British citizens, according to the report.
The secret files say the program, codenamed Dishfire, collects "pretty much everything it can," the Guardian and Channel 4 News reported.
Dishfire works by collecting and analyzing automated text messages such as missed call alerts or texts sent to inform users about international roaming charges, the news organizations said.
It was also able to work out phone users' credit card numbers using texts from banks.
They cited an internal NSA presentation from 2011 on the program and papers from Britain's electronic eavesdropping facility GCHQ.
There was no immediate reaction from the NSA, while GCHQ said it worked within British law.
"All of GCHQ's work is carried out in accordance with the strict legal and policy framework which ensures that our activities are authorized, necessary and proportionate and that there is rigorous oversight," it said in a statement.
The NSA also said its collection of text messages was carried under strict limits under the law and was not arbitrary.
"DISHFIRE is a system that processes and stores lawfully collected SMS data," the spy agency said in a statement.
"Because some SMS data of U.S. persons may at times be incidentally collected in NSA's lawful foreign intelligence mission, privacy protections for U.S. persons exist across the entire process concerning the use, handling, retention, and dissemination of SMS data in DISHFIRE," it said, adding that any data on innocent foreign nationals was also removed promptly.

Taking on more hours with a baby on the way
I've been offered a job I'd like, but the hours are longer and there's a commute, and we're expecting a baby. Would I be crazy to take it? [more inside]
Professional jobs that require night or shift work?
My parents have always worked night shifts as a nurse at a geriatric support centre, and as a mail sorter for the post office. They make enough money. They've made their schedules work for them, and also raised 4 kids while doing so. Because of their shift work, they do get a lot of time off-- maybe working double shifts sometimes, or three 12-hour shifts in a row, but then they get 3 days off. They also tend to know their schedules a month ahead of time. I do not work well in a 9-5 M-F schedule, so I'd like to know what are other similar jobs to this. [more inside]
Finding physiotherapy for the elderly in Paris, France?

How can I find balance in my life with newfound social success?
I need some help finding balance. I've gone through a number of changes in my life lately, and it's been amazing. But the changes have caused my work life to suffer, and I've just taken on a new job, so this is not a good time. Anxiety, exercise, confidence, and a loss of balance all come into play here... I need some help putting it all together. [more inside]
Grappling with consumerism

How do I know if I'm working too much?
Looking for advice or rules of thumb on how better to strike a good work/life balance with the risk factor that I actually love my work and feel very possessive toward it. Further, I work for a small company and I understand that my work is integral to its future. I understand that it is probably not going to be possible for me to wrap it up everyday at 5 pm and forget about work the next day until 9 am, and maybe I don't even want to. However, I don't need to work 20 hour days or weekends, and I'm looking for thoughts from others in the same situation, and rules of thumb as to how to keep a good balance. [more inside]
Help me be less ambitious.
Help me be figure out the proper level of ambition. I am in my second year out of law school. I have a year of big firm practice under my belt and am halfway through a one-year federal clerkship.

FLINT, MI – Joseph Whiteside walked through the group of about 30 people who had gathered in the parking lot of the St. Vincent de Paul facility at North Franklin Avenue and Broadway Boulevard on Friday, July 18.
There was a mix of young kids and older community members eating hot dogs and sipping on water.
"We're trying to pull the community back," said Whiteside, a student police officer at Mott Community College.
Whiteside brought the idea to St. Vincent de Paul Director Barney Vasquez in hopes of getting the younger residents and older members of the neighborhood together to participate in a conversation.
"When you start getting people involved, that's when things can happen," Vasquez said.
Mott Community College police also were there because they police in a 1-mile radius of the college, including that area.
"We're trying to bridge the gap with the old people and the young people," said Pastor Mary Hatcher, of Grace of God Ministry and Gospel Way Fellowship Pentecostal in Mt. Morris.
She said she came to the event because she wanted to help the neighborhood, which Hatcher said is plagued with vacant houses that have been taken over by drug dealers.
"I'm 64 years old, and we need them and they need us," Hatcher said of the younger kids in the area. "Somebody's got to compromise. We're willing to do that. Whatever it takes to build this community up."
Organizers hope to host events like the one Friday every few months.

Syracuse, NY -- Microsoft since 2009 has been going toe-to-toe with rival Apple in the bricks-and-mortar store front. But with only 11 physical stores built out so far, Microsoft pales in comparison to Apple's much wider swath of stores worldwide. But Microsoft has plans. Read on...
From Retailing Today:
Microsoft to open 75 stores in next two to three years
New York City -- In an address Wednesday at Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference in Los Angeles, COO Kevin Turner said that Microsoft hopes to open 75 freestanding Microsoft stores within the next two to three years.
"We're going to open up to 75 more stores over the next two to three years, and continue to bring our stores outside the U.S. as well, so we've got a huge opportunity to get the Microsoft story out there, and we're going to keep driving that," Turner said.
To date, Microsoft has opened 11 stores, in scattered locations across the country. The company made its retail debut in fall 2009.
The Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference is a huge event, with some 15,000 from around the globe in attendance. The event is being held in Los Angeles' Staples Center.
My comments: While doing some research for this blog entry, I came across some news stories about Apple stores at some malls getting shuffled into larger spaces. Why? They originally went into store fronts that turned out to be too small for Apple -- even after remodels. Kinda like at Carousel Center.
It seems a no-brainer for a Microsoft-Apple faceoff in Carousel Center and other malls operated by Syracuse-based Pyramid. It may be later rather than sooner because look at the markets Microsoft is already operating stores. Then think about where they aren't operating stores. That list of 75 is going to be divided quickly and sent to top retail and resort locations, along with major cites. But let's keep an eye on this.
That is all.
Talk to me.

Global stocks close lower after Chinese data
AP and AFP
May 20, 2014, 12:06 am TWN
BEIJING/HONG KONG--Global stocks were mostly lower Monday after a subdued increase in Chinese house prices fanned fears of weakness in the world's No. 2 economy.
The Chinese government is trying to restrain housing costs that have surged in recent years with lending and other curbs. But any weakness in sales prompts fears of repercussions for other industries and possible debt problems if developers default on loans. The Chinese data comes on top of weaker-than-expected economic growth in Europe.
"There could be concerns about increased risks of a hard landing in the property market," said Mizuho Bank in a report.
In Europe, Germany's DAX shed 0.8 percent to 9,548.82 and France's CAC 40 dropped 0.7 percent to 4,425.71. Britain's FTSE 100 lost 0.6 percent to 6,814.49.
Futures pointed to losses on Wall Street. Dow and S&P 500 futures were both down 0.4 percent.
"The surge in machinery orders in March suggests that the recovery in business investment remains on track," said Marcel Theliant of Capital Economics in a report.
Investors are looking ahead to meetings on Tuesday of the U.S. Federal Reserve and on Wednesday of the Bank of Japan,

One-time Seton Hall player Andrew Gaze was recently added to an Aussie hoop website's list of the top 10 Australian pro basketball players. Gaze, who played on the Pirates' '89 Final Four team, was dubbed specifically as "the Michael Jordan of the NBL," Australia's professional basketball league.
While his career with the NBA was minimal at best, Gaze certainly made a name for himself down under. Just take a quick look at these accolades, courtesy of Australian basketball site NBAMate.com:
* 2 time NBL Champion with the Melbourne Tigers in 1993 and 1997Impressive in the NBL but barely a factor in the NBA, one of the interesting facts about Gaze is that he actually has an NBA championship ring from his short time with 1999 championship San Antonio Spurs.
* 7 time Most Valuable Player (91, 92, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98)
* Won the NBL's Most Efficient Player Award 8-straight years from 1990-1997
* NBL Leading Scorer 14 times (including 11-straight years from 1991-2001)
* All time NBA leading points scorer (18,908 points)
* A season average of 37.6 ppg back in 1990, only to be topped the following season with 38.8 pppg
* In 1995 he averaged 31.1 points, 8.1 assists and 5.3 rebounds
NBAMate, on why Gaze didn't make it in the NBA:
He was an unathletic 6-7 guard in the NBA facing opponents who were bigger and quicker than he was - he simply didn't have the edge that he enjoyed in the NBL, where Gaze was usually an oversized small forward. Imagine if Dirk Nowitzki was shrunk down to 6-7 - would he even be able to survive in the NBA?

Thirty Louisiana state troopers will be sent to New Orleans this weekend to assist police during the busy State Farm Bayou Classic weekend, followed by Monday night's matchup between the New Orleans Saints and the New York Giants in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Mayor Mitch Landrieu and Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas requested the additional troopers, primarily to work in the Central Business District and the French Quarter, said Troop B spokeswoman Melissa Matey.
The officers will be in the city from Friday until Tuesday and will join troopers already working in the area, Matey said.
The news came just days after Serpas announced a plan to saturate the downtown area with more than 600 officers during big events, starting with the Bayou Classic. That plan will be in place for the next 16 months as the city handles a series of other large events, including the 2013 Super Bowl.
The plan, Serpas said, was not influenced by the gun violence that erupted on Halloween night, mostly around the French Quarter, killing two people and wounding 14 others.
In addition to more cops, motorists should prepare for street closures in and around the Quarter because of heavy pedestrian traffic for the festivities surrounding the annual gridiron grudge match between Southern and Grambling universities.
On Friday and Saturday, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., vehicular traffic will be restricted in the area bounded by North Rampart, Decatur, North Peters, Dumaine and Canal streets. Vehicular traffic on Canal Street may be restricted if pedestrian traffic becomes too heavy.
While some motorists, such as French Quarter residents, hotel guests and business employees, will be allowed to pass checkpoints, no vehicular traffic will be allowed to cross Bourbon Street from Canal to Dumaine streets.
The Bayou Classic is also hosting a Thanksgiving Day parade that will begin at 4 p.m. Thursday at the Superdome and end at the French Market. Delays are expected to be minimal since police escorting the parade will close streets only as the parade makes its way down Poydras Street, Loyola Avenue, Canal Street and Decatur Street.

Wood products are good products
Some many things that we buy today are mass produced and do not have a personal touch, even if the quality of the product cannot be doubted. With so many things made in their millions if not billions it can be difficult to own things that are unique to you personally. Yet our homes do not have to be full of mass produced goods and appliances made of plastic and metal.
These days it is possible to have really impressive custom made wood products to display in your home, or may be even your work place. This has to be an improvement on some of the mass produced objects that are so readily available, yet look like mass produced and possibly tacky goods that everybody else seems to be displaying even if you cannot stand to look at it.
However the people that carve, or make impressive custom made wood products are committed to making you something completely unique that will stand out from the crowd.
Sometimes it is worth paying extra for uniqueness
If you are looking to own something that is totally unique and was made only for you then it is time to seriously consider finding local craft people or carpenters who are capable of making wooden objects to your exact requirements as well as specifications. You would expect to pay a little extra as you are ordering something that will be custom made for you and therefore be uniquely yours.
It makes a great deal of sense to find a local craft person or carpenter to make your custom made wood product for you, as you may be able to collect the finished items from them directly. Having things posted to you may not be the best of ideas, as you will not want your hand crafted object broken or damaged in the post. Another thing to consider when you order a custom made wood product is whether or not to buy from abroad. Imported items can attract a customs charge depending on how much an item is worth. Customs charges mean that items cost you more than you would have expected.
Remember the cost of an impressive custom made wood product reflects the cost of the wood used, as well as the time taken to carve or make them.
Do something good, order something unique
To make your home or office look different seriously consider ordering a custom made carving or ornament as soon as you can. If the company or companies you are considering are online then view their website to gain an idea of what products are available and roughly how much things will cost.
If they are located near to you visit their store or work place to discuss what you would like them to make for you. By visiting their work place you can see first hand the kind of products, which can be custom made for you, and pay for these items.
Ordering your custom made wood products either for yourself or as gifts is a good way to buy things that are unique.

Three teens acquitted in Bothell trestle death
by Jeff Switzer
Family members were shocked at the verdict as the three teens charged with manslaughter for their part in the drowning death of 18-year-old Michael Schuerhoff were acquitted in juvenile court last week.
King County Superior Court Judge Steven Scott decided that Benjamin Drake and Steven Garza, both 16, and Lawrence Edinger, 17, did not believe their bets of cash and drugs would lead Brian Schrader to push Schuerhoff off the Bothell trestle, where he fell 36 feet and drowned in the Sammamish River on Jan. 2.
Schuerhoff's twin brother, Jason, cried out in anger and frustration as the verdict was read, and was then consoled by his family.
Schuerhoff would have been 19 on March 29, and was a senior at Cascade High School in the Everett School District.
Drake faced a possible 21 to 28 weeks in detention; Garza, 40 to 48 weeks; and Edinger, 30 to 40 weeks. All have been released from custody.
Although they were acquitted, Judge Scott said the boys have a "moral responsibility and an opportunity to learn from this experience."
Prosecutors had reduced the charges against Drake, Garza, and Edinger from second-degree murder to first-degree manslaughter, to which they pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutors said they felt the culpability of these three was considered more reckless than intentional. The reduced charge meant the teens faced a range of 20 to 50 weeks in juvenile detention rather than the 10 to 14 years they could have gotten if tried as adults.
Schrader, accused of Schuerhoff's fatal push, invoked his Fifth Amendment rights at the trial of Garza, Drake, and Edinger, opting not to give testimony according to the agreement with the prosecutors.
Now 18, Schrader has also hired a new attorney and has indicated it is his intention to withdraw his guilty plea, though there has not yet been a motion in court to do so.
The prosecution went with Tyler Wheaton's testimony at the trial. Wheaton, who did not participate in the betting, pleaded guilty to first-degree rendering of criminal assistance for his role, agreeing to testify against Garza, Drake, and Edinger. Prosecutors are recommending a one-year exceptional sentence in juvenile detention.
Schrader pleaded guilty at the beginning of May to second-degree murder and agreed to testify against the others in the case in exchange for the prosecution's recommended eight-year sentence for the crime. The standard range for the offense is 10 to 14 years with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment and a $50,000 fine.
Dan Donohoe, spokesperson for the prosecutor's office, said that while the recommended eight-year sentence is below the standard range, the sentence does take into account the seriousness of the crime because the crime lacked intent to commit murder.

This is something I have written about when new things are developed and change how we see the world. Hope you like it.
Red Light, Green Light, Red Light, Green Light. It's like a traffic light system except I prefer traffic lights than whatever you would call this. It's like you can't call your house your home anymore because you're in a different one every day and it's like torture. It might be convenient for some people like my granddad who always likes a change of scenery or even that woman that lives down the road – or should I say lived down the road seeing as she won't be living there anymore. But this system just isn't for me. I prefer the old ways where when you bought a house it was your house forever or at least until you sold it. Mum keeps telling me that I'm being old fashioned and need to keep with the times, and this is coming from a fan of the hippy era.
Brrrrrrrrrrrring! The school bell rings loudly signifying the end of the school day and brings me out of my thoughts. I sigh loudly getting a few strange looks from my classmates as I scrape my chair backwards and slowly start packing my school bag. Planner, Pencil case, Books. All in their right places. Perfect. Now to find the small piece of paper with the new house address on that mum gave me this morning over breakfast. I really will never get used to having to find a different house everyday. Really, it was so much easier when everybody had a key which just unlocked one house. Aha, I fish it out of the back pocket of my school trousers and start walking aimlessly away from school looking for a 12 Elm Tree Grove.
One long hour later, just as it looks like it is about to rain, I find it. It's a nice house really, big, old fashioned and it's even got a balcony. It's the perfect house and I wish I could stay here permanently but no doubt I'll be living somewhere else tomorrow.
Walking up the path to the front door the smell of freshly cut grass is so overwhelming that I fail to realise that the house's lock light is green so I walk straight into the locked door practically breaking my poor nose.
Strange, Mum was supposed to have come straight here after breakfast this morning to make sure no one else took the house because with this stupid system you can have any house you want as long as it's unoccupied at the moment you want it. That's another ridiculous thing about the system because if you just nip out to the corner shop to get some milk for your breakfast someone has to stay in the house because if you leave it unoccupied – even just for five measly minutes – by time you get back someone else would have probably took your house. Maybe mum's gone to the shops to get some milk or something for tea and will be back in five minutes. Or maybe she's gone to pick Ebony up from school seeing as I'm a bit late home from school myself as it took so long to get here. If we're going to be living this far away from school for any length of time I'll have to figure out a bus route.
Ebony is my little sister by the way and she's only four years old so needs picking up from school, and it's my job to pick her up everyday because mum needs to get to the house before anybody else does. Surely this isn't any way to live. She can't even take up a permanent job, in case somebody else takes the house that mum gave me the address for. With me being late home she might have thought I was staying over at school for an after school club or something so gone to pick her up herself. Well, whatever he reason is for not being here she'll be back soon so I'll just let myself in. After all I've got my own "Magic Key" as they are called same as everyone else in my family.
You see, everybody gets a key when they are born or whatever the age they were when the system started and it's personalised to them. Three inches long and a lovely purple colour they are able to "remember" the inside of your house as you left it and make it appear in whatever unoccupied house you insert the key into. I don't know how it works because it's all very complex but it does. Everyone who lives in a house together like families each get their own keys which are all connected.
The connected keys all remember the exact same house exactly as the last person who has one of the connected keys left it. It's the only part of the system I actually like because having the keys connected benefits me. For example, if in the morning mum leaves some warm, fresh cookies on a plate they are still warm and fresh when I get home from school hours later because when you leave the key remembers exactly how the house was left, cookies and all. It's like time freezes when you leave and then continues when you return. It's weird, but I like it. I wonder if mum left any cookies today for me. Well, there's only one way to find out.
I get my key out of my bag pocket which is specifically designed for keys and insert it into the lock watching as the lock changes colour from a green showing the house is empty to a bright red signifying that the house is now occupied. I gingerly push the door open and look inside before stepping in because one day the keys could all fail and if you walk inside you'd fall into black nothingness.
I've actually looked through the window of a unoccupied house and all you can see is black – like there's nothing there at all. Then when you put your key in the inside lights up so you can see what's in, even if there is no lights on. In my house everything looks the same as this morning. Ebony's teddy is sprawled on the floor in the exact position it was when she threw it from the breakfast table during a morning tantrum about her cereal. An empty coffee mug is placed on the phone table where I left it this morning as I rushed out of the door as not to be late for school. The boxes containing "memories" as mum calls them or boxes of junk as everyone else calls them are piled on the stairs waiting to be put in the attic just like they were this morning – and last night.
This last thing I noticed, about the boxes of junk on the stairs is pretty strange actually as they shouldn't be there. Of course, they were there this morning but they shouldn't be there now because mum was supposed to have cleaned them up when she got to the new house, same as the empty coffee mug left on the table. This proves that mum hasn't been in the house all day because like me she has a kind of obsessive compulsive disorder where she likes everything to be in its right place.
Everything seems to be right so I remove my key from the lock and slide it into my back pocket as I step over the door threshold and on to the mat at the other side. The door quickly slams shut behind me, the noise echoing loudly through the empty house, and although I know that the lock light will stay red until I leave the house I can't help staring expectantly at it, praying that my mother will walk through with Ebony holding her hand. Later, we'd all laugh about the situation and how I always think of the worst things that can happen like that time in Disney World where Ebony went over to watch some people on a ride and I thought she was lost and we would never see her again. But we did and I will see my mum again. It is 3:30 so she probably has gone to pick Ebony up from school and I'm just thinking the worst as usual. I'm probably just panicking because I hate being alone in the house ever since this new system started three years ago. It's not like I'm not old enough to stay in the house alone because I'm fifteen, practically sixteen. It's just she's always here; everyday after school and it just feels so different. I'm starting to panic again so to make today feel more normal I'm to go change out of my school uniform.
I walk up the stairs trying to make as little noise as possible in the already silent house but ruin the effect completely as I trip over one of the "memory" boxes on the way and fall flat on my face hurting my already hurt nose. "OW!" I moan as I drag myself off the floor, rubbing my nose and continue to my bedroom. My nose will be completely broken by the end of today if I carry on the way I am.
As soon as I get in my room I turn my CD player on a start listening to my favourite music. The normality of this eases my mind and I am able to get changed in peace. I walk over to my wardrobe and pull my favourite jeans and T-shirt off one of the pin-neat piles in my wardrobe. I change into them and slowly fold my uniform to put in the wardrobe as I sing in harmony with the CD. Ah, perfect! Now for a snack. I turn the music off and head back down to the kitchen.
As I cut my Tuna, Cheese and Ham sandwich in half the phone rings suddenly, startling me so I nearly cut my finger off. Stupid timing! I quickly grab the phone off the cradle to quieten it as in the empty house it seems way too loud. "Hello," I say into the phone as somebody at the other end says, "Hello, this is Mrs Jones, Ebony's teacher, and I'm calling to inform you that no-one has come to pick Ebony up. Is there a problem?"
"No, everything is fine and someone will be there in a few minutes to pick her up" I reply calmly. I here the slow buzz of the telephone line signifying the end of the conversation and hastily replace it on to the cradle. I'm shocked, how could my mother forget to pick Ebony up? She's so reliable, it's unreal that she forgot or maybe she's gone somewhere else and was actually expecting me to collecting her. This panics me even more, but I head upstairs to grab my trainers from the wardrobe anyway.

Michael Buble and his wife, Luisana Lopilato, are gearing up for an exciting new year. They're expecting their first child! The announcement is cute: they announced it via video. Michael, who's 12 years older than the 25-year-old Luisana, has been open about wanting to start a family. Previously Michael explained:
"I've said to her a million times I'd love to have kids. But I always say to her when you're ready — when you feel like you've lived and you've partied and done all the things you want to do. When you've worked your butt off, then tell me."
Sounds like Luisana told him she was ready. Congratulations!

Yep, the United States' Treasury Secretary says there should be no limit on America's incurred debt. Oy:
On Bloomberg TV, "Political Capital" host Al Hunt asked Geithner if he believes "we ought to just eliminate the debt ceiling."
"Oh, absolutely," Geithner said.
"You do? Will you propose that?" Hunt asked.
"Well, this is something only Congress can solve," Geithner said. "Congress put it on itself. We've had 100 years of experience with it, and I think only once–last summer–did people decide to use it to threaten default on the American credit for the first time in history as a tool for political advantage. And that's not a tenable strategy."
Ha, who are you kidding? Of course you're not going to propose that — the Obama administration may be seriously incompetent, but even they know the American people would never support giving Congress a credit card with no limit.

Chemistry, Physiology, Homeostasis, Cell Properties, Review
What is the difference between neural vs. hormonal control -
The nervous system detects body changes and sends nerve impulses to counteract the stress. The endocrine system regulates homeostasis by secreting hormones.
What is the only real difference between neural vs. hormonal control
the manner by which it is delivered.
If you were hot, what would be the negative feedback to control body temperature?
Dilation of vessels, sweating
In order to maintain homeostasis you need to have what?
Complete reflex arm, receptors, afferent pathways, integration center
Which of either afferent path or efferent path carries information toward integration center?
The vagus nerve uses what type of control?
Uses NEURO control, it releases the neurotransmitter right on the target
Can we evolve a bigger lung?
NO but can still acclimate by increasing cell count or hematocrit (carry MORE!) (rose secondarily-making more blood cells in response to low oxygen)
What determines if you are able to respond to signals?
Having the appropriate specific RECEPTORS, and the more receptors the more sensitive
If a molecule is polar, it has charged ends, therefore must be ionized
NO (Because they are still sharing electrons, they are COVALENT) You cannot be ionized if you're sharing
If you can join organic molecules by removal of water (dehydration), how do you split molecules?
Hydrolysis, the addition of water (will breaks covalent bonds)
Proteins in cell membrane and phospholipids have portions that are hydrophilic and hydrophobic, therefore they are?
Carbohydrates always have equal numbers of?
Carbon and oxygen (standard formulas for alkanes, alkynes, alkines)
What are the pentose sugars that are monosacharieds that make up nucleic acid?
ribose and deoxyribose
Animals are able to store glucose in polymers of glucose known as?
the polymer (carbohydrate) named glycogen (animal starch)
The major function for plasma membrane is to?
Selectively permeate or regulate what enters and leaves
Why is the plasma membrane referred to fluid mosaic
the fluid is the phospholipid sea layer and the mosaic are the integral proteins serving as channel
What binds cells together and seals them so that molecules can't slip between cells but must pass through?
Tight junctions, because they are seals
What do you call specialized vacuole that contain powerful hydrolytic enzymes that help break down macromolecules
What do you call the vesicles that have powerful peroxidases, which are meant to neutralize toxins?
If one cell is able to produce more product than another cell (i.e. more lipid, protein) that must mean that one cell has
when cells different productivity, they have different factory or working plants. They also may have different energy sources (if it makes more protein it has more ribosomes, if it makes more lipids, cell has more ER)
The initial DNA message transcribed onto the messenger RNA is larger or smaller than the final?
Larger because it includes nonsense known as introns, which we have to remove
To increase net flux of a penetrating solute, what can I do to the concentration of the solute?
Increase concentration, adding heat, but concentration is more favorable because particles collide most often.
Which kind of molecule diffuses more rapidly to the cell membrane?
NONPOLAR because most of membrane is phospholipid therefore nonpolar dissolves non polar because the membrane is lipid.
What factors increase diffusion rate?
More temp, more concentration, more agitation, more surface area, increase solubility
When mediating the transport of something across the membrane, that membrane will be influenced or mediated by the presence of an appropriate binding site
YES, you have to have the right receptor to bind to.
In the sodium-potassium pump, we pump out how many sodiums for potassiums?
3 sodiums out for every 2 potassiums in
In the case of cells and tube (experiment example in lab), diffusion of water across a membrane would be finely balanced by opposing force. What is going to stop the colomose from rising
the weight of the pressure from the other side (opposing pressure)
Which of these solutions and hypo- or hyper- tonic?
Sodium chloride at 150 milliosmoles (MO), Calcium chloride at 100 MO, or Sodium fluoride at 200 MO - Sodium fluoride at 200 MO is HYPERTONIC.
Difference between endocrine vs exocrine
endocrine secretes hormones via ducts, and exocrine secretes hormones via bloodstream.
The diffusion of glucose into/out of cell is usually done by?
Facilitated diffusion, usually facilitated by a simport.
Sodium is independent and can go through what when going in and out of the cell?
uniports or simporters
If I bind to an allosteric binding site, and it prevents you from binding, what kind of INHIBITION is that?
Non-competitive inhibition
Catalysts increase chemical reaction by doing what?
Lowering activation energy, so the reactions go FASTER
If you have a series of chemical reactions, which one would be the rate-limiting step?
Slowest one is the rate of limiting step
Glycolysis generates a net profit of how many ATP?
2, therefore it is not preferred energy currency of cells.
If we metabolize glucose without oxygen, it is called
Anaerobic glycolysis, its net profit is limited
In oxidized phosphorylation, what is being phosphorylated?
We are taking ADP and converting it to ATP
Do the coenzymes need to be unoccupied for phosphorylation?
Yes, because they need to be unoccupied to carry electrons
When you produce a fatty acid, chain must be assembled with how many carbons?
An EVEN number of carbons
It costs more energy to produce fatty acid than it gets when it breaks it down, but what makes it energy efficient?
But it DOES store most energy, which is broken down when it's needed
In mitosis, how many daughter cells do you need?
2 daughter cells, identical to each other and parent (cellular replacement, most abundant form of reproduction)
Do all cells divide frequently?
No, (eg. Brain cells, heart cells) some cells go through a state called amitosis, they don't divide
What are the G1 and G2 phases?
Preparatory phases in mitosis, building up cellular proteins, cell membrane, so each daughter cell will have right amount of materials to survive
When it stops dividing - goes into phase named
G-0, or G-Not phase, for cells that no longer divide like brain cells or muscle cells.
When a muscle gets too big, what happens?
Surface area goes up by the square and the volume goes up by the cube... can't be very strong for long duration
Why can't bulky muscles be strong for a long amount of time?
Not enough surface area to allow nutrients to get in or out, can only be a fast twitch muscle, only powerful for a spurt
Proteins can be described by 4 levels of complexity, what are they?

Santa Ana College upgrades nearly complete, further projects in store
Santa Ana College student Shdae Chacon was in grade school when voters approved a bond measure that has funded millions of dollars in renovation projects at the nearly 100-year-old campus.
Chacon, now 20 and in her third year at SAC, has witnessed the construction that's paved the way for library upgrades and new athletic fields.
"That's a long time," she said, upon learning that Measure E, which funded the projects, was passed by voters in the Rancho Santiago Community College District in 2002.
Money from the $337 million general obligation bond was used to renovate buildings, build classrooms and expand programs at Santa Ana College, Santiago Canyon College, the district's regional education centers and the district operations center.
Today, Measure E-funded projects are winding down and remaining funds have been allocated to pending upgrades such as signage, landscaping and the addition of restrooms to the planetarium.
Of the $167.8 million allocated to Santa Ana College, $135.2 million has been spent. Projects are more than 80 percent complete.
Once all Measure E funds are spent, new money will be made available for further projects through Measure Q, a $198 million general obligation bond passed by voters last year.
Students lounging in the quad on a recent Monday said they were aware of the construction but were uncertain of what the projects entailed.
Some, like 32-year-old Esteban Sanchez, wondered: "What's the delay? Why did it take that long?"
Judy Iannaccone, spokeswoman for the Rancho Santiago Community College District, said all individual projects are on schedule.
"They have not taken 10 years to complete individually; the entire life of Measure E construction has been more than a decade. This was to be expected and was part of the original plan," she said.
Iannaccone said it usually takes two to four years to build an academic building at a public institution, including planning, design, agency approvals and construction. Sufficient student and staff parking must also be accounted for, she said.
"Also, all projects cannot be done at once, as the college needs to remain open and classes offered," Iannaccone said.
District officials are planning for more upgrades to be completed by the school's upcoming centennial.
Santa Ana Junior College opened its doors in 1915 to fewer than 30 students as a department of Santa Ana High School. It was the second junior college founded in Orange County and the fourth in the state, according to the school.
Most of the campus was built in the 1960s and '70s.
"If you check out the campus as a whole, it looks like there are different eras of construction," said Michael Collins, vice president of administrative services for Santa Ana College. "We're trying to unify (the campus), and that's a big piece of Measure E and Measure Q."
For example, crews are installing pavers at the campus's entrances – a practical and eye-pleasing project, Collins said.
"Around here when we have a water leak, we have to saw cut the concrete then pull the concrete up. When you do that over time, it changes the elevation of the concrete, then you get slip-and-fall hazards," Collins said. "... With the pavers we're able to pull the pavers up, repair the work ... put the pavers back down.
"So all entrances will kind of look the same," Collins added.
Also, Santa Ana College's front entry sign has been backlit.
"Having this campus well-lit and recognizable is extremely important and also it gives us a sense of place," Collins said.
Before Measure E, upgrades were hard to come by as the college district depended on state or capital outlay funds.
"It was kind of a haphazard approach to construction around here," Collins said. "It wasn't scheduled as much and we didn't have the opportunity to keep up with the needs of our students."
He added: "It's a great opportunity but a great responsibility. We feel the weight of our community on us to make sure we do them right; they get the return of their assets."

The New Orleans Police Department seeks suspects in separate robberies in eastern New Orleans and downtown.
One incident took place early Saturday at 5:05 a.m., at a gas station on the 6500 block of Morrison Road. A man came in and started taking money from the register while the cashier had the cash drawer open. The cashier resisted to no avail.
According to security video footage, the robber is heavy-set and was wearing a cap and a long-sleeved red shirt with wide black and white stripes.
The second robbery took place somewhere in the NOPD's 8th District, which covers the French Quarter and the Central Business District. The suspect pulled a silver revolver on the intoxicated victim and proceeded to rob him.
Police say the suspect appears to be in his late 20s and has a shaved head and a yin/yang tattoo on his inner right wrist. The police did not release the date of the incident.
People with information on either crime are encouraged to call Crimestoppers at 504.822.1111 or 877.903.7867.

Ninety different beers.
Thirty bars.
Three hours.
That's a lot of beer to drink at the Dauphin Street Beer Festival and not a lot of time to do it.
If you don't have a game plan, I highly recommend getting one ready well in advance of Saturday's festivities. With 1,500 extra tickets, beer fest will be more crowded than ever, and one can easily be overwhelmed if they're not prepared with the ideal beer fest mindset.
Don't know where to start? What to drink? What to skip?
Start by closely studying the list in this week's BW, which can be found for free throughout downtown Mobile. Then, figure out how you want to approach your evening.
Do you like a particular style? Maybe there's a brewery you've tried and enjoyed every time. Maybe you've got your favorite bar and want to stay there all night. The choices are yours and they're limitless.
Here are just a few different approaches you can take to the Saturday's festival:
The Seasonal Approach
It may not feel like it yet, but autumn is right around the corner, and breweries are already releasing their fall seasonals. Throw on your lederhosen and celebrate Oktoberfest with Gordon Biersch FestBier (Heroes), Sam Adams Octoberfest (Serda's) or Germany's own Paulaner Octoberfest beer (Saga).
Not quite ready for the rich malty brews of fall? There are plenty of summer beers out there, too, including Magic Hat's beet-red Wacko (Wintzell's), Great Divide Belgica (Alabama Music Box) and Terrapin's Sunray Wheat (Hayley's).
Don't miss the FestBier from Gordon Biersch The California brewery is renowned for their German-style beers, so an Oktoberfest-style brew from them is a sure winner.
The Distinctly Southern Method
This will be the first year in recent memory without a brewpub on the list of participating venues, so drinking locally isn't really an option. Keep an eye out, though, for brews from Back Forty, Lazy Magnolia, Abita, Sweetwater, Terrapin and Yazoo; these are definitely our "regional beers" and there are some real winners in the bunch. Don't miss Lazy Magnolia Indian Summer (Pat's Downtown), an American-style wheat ale brewed with orange peel and coriander (think Blue Moon, but better). It's brewed right down I-10 in Kiln, Miss.
The world traveler
Grab your passport and celebrate "International" beer fests of the past, stopping first in Belgium, where some of the world's finest beers are made. Leffe Blonde (Serda's), a Belgian Pale Ale, is a good one to start with. It's got a very approachable, good, crisp taste, and is definitely the best representation of Belgian beers being served at this year's festival.
Next, swing on over to Germany and sip on some wheat beers to quench your thirst on a hot August evening in Mobile. Paulaner (Veet's) and Weihenstaphaner (Royal Scam) are two classic German wheat beers that are not to be missed.
With so many beers and so much variety, the options for Saturday's festival are virtually limitless. If you want to get the most from it, make a game plan and stick to it.
Some things to remember
You can download a pdf of the beer list here: BeerList.pdf. The bars on the list go in order from west to east, starting at The Garage and ending at Gabriel's Downtown, but you can easily hit most of them regardless of where you start.
Hydrate or live to regret it. Bring at least a bottle of water, if not two. Yes, it's tempting to try all 90 beers in 180 minutes, but if you don't add some water to the mix, you're likely to wake up feeling like you have a pair of sweat socks stuffed in your mouth and an ice pick protruding from the back of your head.
Don't drink and drive. If you don't have a designated driver, call a cab or get a hotel.
Visit the festival's Web site for hotel deals for the night.
Drink in moderation. It's a marathon, not a sprint. You don't want to be "that guy" who was stumbling over everybody just 30 minutes into the festival. It's about tasting the beers, and the drunker you get, the harder it is to taste what you're drinking (on the same subject, if you have a particular beer or beers you don't want to miss, plan to drink them early).
Have fun. Regardless of what you drink, enjoy the company you're with and where you are. Downtown Mobile has a lot to offer, and beer fest is a nice way to get a taste of what's down there.

We present an interpretation of a portion of the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from the first Cassini flyby of Titan (October 16th 2004, Ta) during which a part of the northern hemisphere was imaged with a varying resolution of 0.4-1 km/pixel. This image swath reveals a complex area with many features not yet understood [1,2]. We discuss the existence of a volcanic field [2,3,4] and its consistency with observations and models.
Cryovolcanism on Titan. Titan is likely composed of an icy crust above a liquid layer of ammonia-water. Like silicates, the melt is less dense than the solid, so it is conceivable for cryovolcanism to occur. Consideration of gravity- and temperature-scaling of viscosities [5] shows that ammonia-water lava on Titan behaves similarly to basaltic lava on Earth, in terms of viscosity and flow morphology. From the same lava composition, different surface structures can occur [6]. Differences in flow, cooling, and crystallization result either in smooth and lobate surfaces that are radar-dark or in surfaces that are rough and clinkery and hence radar-bright [7].
Area of study. The area located at 75-90 degrees W and 45-55 degrees N is a tangle of bright and dark lobate regions, some bright channel-like features, and a few small, dark, circular features. We propose that different surface structures of cryovolcanic flows can explain these variations. We present a geomorphologic map of this region, with boundaries delineated mainly by differences in brightness, and with some possible volcanic vents, cones, and craters outlined.

JUPITER, Fla. – The ordeal began with a weighted bat. On Tuesday afternoon in Phoenix, Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira was swinging his heavy club, a tool he uses to stay loosen and limber during the season. After about five or six swings, he felt tightness in his right wrist.
Now he won't return to action until May – at best. The strained ECU tendon is a frightful injury for the Yankees, in part because of the uncertainty surrounding his return. Team doctors hope Teixeira will be pain-free in four weeks. But there are no guarantees, as Teixeira himself explained on a conference call on Thursday.
"I just have to let it heal," he said. "It's not one of those things I can play through."
The first foreign object to wreak havoc on this Yankees' season was an inside fastball thrown by Toronto starter J.A. Happ, who fractured outfielder Curtis Granderson's right forearm. Now comes another unlikely culprit, a piece of equipment that Teixeira has used regularly these past four years. Doctors told him this was a "classic baseball injury," a product of wear and tear on his body.
Teixeira received clearance to resume partial physical activity on Thursday. He intends to return to Tampa soon, so he can run, lift and swing with his left hand. He intends to "have as long a season as I can." He figures he will only need a handful of rehabilitation games once he's cleared to play.
Teixeira expressed disappointment about his situation. He also acknowledged how sizable his loss is, especially when combined with Granderson's injury.
"When you lose your No. 4-5 hitters," he said, "it's going to be tough to get through it. But I have full confidence that the guys coming in are going to be able to step in."
But now comes the hard part. With Teixeira, the doctors lack certainty. They believe Granderson's broken bone will heal in due time. They cannot determine when the discomfort will leave Teixeira's wrist.
"Any wrist injury is scary to me," manager Joe Girardi said. "Because it's such an important factor and it's not like you can protect it."
Outfielder Brett Gardner learned the fragility of wrists in 2010. After getting popped by a fastball in June, he struggled for the rest of the year, rendered passive at the plate by the pain caused by his swing. He underwent surgery that offseason.
When Mets first baseman Ike Davis was a sophomore at Arizona State, he developed a bone spur in his left wrist. He finished the season, despite the aches in his swing. That summer, he required surgery and six weeks of rest.
"Here's the deal with wrists," Davis said Thursday, as he laid his hand flat and motionless to illustrate his point. "If you don't use your hand for like two weeks, you lose your muscles and the strength in your hands so quickly. That's what I had the biggest deal with. It was just like getting my strength back in my forearm and my fingers."
Teixeira, of course, will not need surgery. He was thankful for that. The tendon remained stable. But in order to keep it that way, he needs to wait until he is 100 percent healthy.
The doctors also issued another proclamation: No more weighted bats. Teixeira will remember that as he deals with his time away.
"The doctors made it very clear to me," he said. "They weren't going to let me swing until I was 100 percent pain-free. And however long that takes, we don't know."

A new pair of winter road bike shoes called Glacier has been launched by Louis Garneau for 2012. Excellent warmth, fit, and comfort are offered by the water-proof membrane and laces in the inner shoe, while its Velcro tab enhances the already reliable support.
Getting the Glacier on is made a bit easier by its giant finger loop on the back. What offers the rider's feet soothing warmth is its seam-sealed front zipper, its sides' laminated PVC material, and its neoprene ankle cuff that comes with a full length silicone gripper.
It is estimated that the 2012 Louis Garneau Glacier Winter Road Bike Shoes keeps the feet warm for two hours during a typical winter month. Thus, this pair of road bike shoes are not ideal for longer-distance rides during winter.

Woman reports man pointing gun at her face
A Bremerton woman reported being threatened with a gun March 24 by a man to whom she had sold a vehicle.
On March 22, the 38-year-old woman told police a 37-year-old man failed to pay her for a vehicle she sold him and suspected his "associates" were selling drugs from the vehicle, according to police reports.
Two days later, the woman told police the man confronted her in the Kitsap Way QFC parking lot at 2 a.m. and said, "If you want your car, go get it." She walked into the store and the man was gone when she returned to her car. When she drove to a friend's house, the man was there and pointed a hand gun to her face, saying, "You ever talk to the police, I'll kill you right where you stand. They don't call me 'Dirty Dan' for nothing." The woman stood in place until the man left.
There were no witnesses to the incident. The report was forwarded to detectives.

Investigators with the state police have handled a number of complaints recently about "advance fee fraud" on the Internet and Central New Yorkers already have lost thousands of dollars in the scam, they said.
Typically, the targeted individuals are trying to sell something on-line. Prospective buyers contact them and offer to cut a check for more than the amount, then ask the sellers to refund the difference.
After the sellers refund the difference, they discover that the check for the original payment was bogus, investigators said. And once the money is gone, it's "virtually impossible to recover," they said.
Victims in the United States already have been scammed out of more than $300 million.
They urge area residents to contact police if they have doubts about the validity of on-line offers are are suspicious about any payment proposals.

The Sexualization of Shirley Temple
Oh, Holy God. Look at this section of the NYT's obituary of Shirley Temple Black:
"In 1932, Shirley was spotted by an agent from Educational Pictures and chosen to appear in "Baby Burlesks," a series of sexually suggestive one-reel shorts in which children played all the roles. The 4- and 5-year-old children wore fancy adult costumes that ended at the waist. Below the waist, they wore diapers with oversize safety pins. In these heavy-handed parodies of well-known films like "The Front Page" ("The Runt Page") and "What Price Glory" ("War Babies"), Shirley imitated Marlene Dietrich, Mae West and — wearing an off-the-shoulder blouse and satin garter as a hard-boiled French bar girl in "War Babies" — Dolores del Río. When any of the two dozen children in "Baby Burlesks" misbehaved, they were locked in a windowless sound box with only a block of ice on which to sit. "So far as I can tell, the black box did no lasting damage to my psyche," Mrs. Black wrote in "Child Star." "Its lesson of life, however, was profound and unforgettable. Time is money. Wasted time means wasted money means trouble."
This is the pre-feminist movement patriarchy, y'all. Children weren't just worth-less, there was nothing to stop their parents or industries from using them as fokking commodities. Moreover, even as a toddler Shirley Temple was being overtly sexualized because it was "funny". You know, the same way rape jokes are "funny". They are both forms of humor meant to normalize and minimize egregious cultural phenomena.
If you have the stomach for it, you can see "War Babies" on YouTube. Hold a pail in your lap because watching children that young acting in mimicry of a "femme fatal" and the men who wanted to fuck her, especially while knowing that their punishment for NOT doing it was emotional and physical isolation and pain, will make you puke.
One of the first people to pull back the curtain and notice the ugly truth behind the Great & Powerful Wizard of Id was novelist Graham Greene. However, did he blame the studio for sexualizing a little girl? Hell, no. He blamed "that little bitch Shirley Temple" for her own exploitation:
The owners of a child star are like leaseholders—their property diminishes in value every year. … Miss Shirley Temple's case, though, has peculiar interest: Infancy is her disguise, her appeal is more secret and more adult. Already two years ago she was a fancy little piece (real childhood, I think, went out after The Littlest Rebel). In Captain January she wore trousers with the mature suggestiveness of a Dietrich: her neat and well-developed rump twisted in the tap-dance: her eyes had a sidelong searching coquetry. Now in Wee Willie Winkie, wearing short kilts, she is completely totsy. Watch her swaggering stride across the Indian barrack-square: hear the gasp of excited expectation from her antique audience when the sergeant's palm is raised: watch the way she measures a man with agile studio eyes, with dimpled depravity. Adult emotions of love and grief glissade across the mask of childhood, a childhood skin-deep.
It is clever, but it cannot last. Her admirers—middle-aged men and clergymen—respond to her dubious coquetry, to the sight of her well-shaped and desirable little body, packed with enormous vitality, only because the safety curtain of story and dialogue drops between their intelligence and their desire. …
Clearly what Greene wrote is a heinous example of victim blaming and slut shaming, tactics frequently used against victims of sexual violence no matter how young they are. Nevertheless, it is spot on with the way Shirley Temple was being used by the studio – she was a piece of ass in an exceptionally powerless (and thus more patriarchally desirable) package. They made her act in ways that implied little women were sex on legs right from the cradle, and it was okay to think of them as such. As academic Ara Osterweil pointed out:
This displacement of adult sexuality onto the body of a child involved an industry wide fetishization in which Temple's infantile sexuality was both deliberately manufactured and scrupulously preserved. As Twentieth Century Fox executive Darryl Zanuck commanded, "Keep her skirts high. Have co-stars lift her up whenever possible to create the illusion now selling so well. Preserve babyhood." It is clear that Temple's innocence —and those signature shots of her underpants — were crucial to her erotic appeal.
If nothing else, everyone should thank feminist activists for making such a ruckus about this kind of bullshit that the blatant exploitation of sexualized children is no longer so tolerated.
No wonder Woody Allen, who was recently called out by another adult witness to his predation on Dylan, thinks of himself as hard done by when his victims won't stay victimized. He's grown up in an era that's told him it is his right as a white, straight man to take "advantage" of the innate erotic potential of little girls. These kinds of cultural messages matter. They cause lasting harm to women and children and perpetuate the abuses against them.

Pennridge Regional Police in Sellersville have charged a Quakertown man and Bethlehem woman for their alleged roles in a home burglary.
Cori Eckhart, 20, of Bethlehem, and Timothy Frankenfield, 19, of Quakertown face burglary, theft and conspiracy charges for the April 11 burglary of a residence on the 2400 block of Schukraft Road, police said.
Various pieces of jewelry and two guitars were taken from the home, according to police.
