Washington (CNSNews.com) – Given the U.S. involvement in the Afghanistan war, this is not the right time to repeal the law that bans homosexuals from serving in the military, Army, Air Force, and Marine chiefs told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Friday.
At the same time, heads of the Navy and U.S. Coast Guard, while expressing concerns about possible backlash, joined the vice-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staffs in telling the Senate panel that Congress should move to repeal the law.
The three who voiced opposition to abolishing the law did say they would comply if Congress moves to repeal the statue.
"Based on what I know about the very tough fight in Afghanistan, the almost singular focus as they train up and deploy into theater, the necessary tightly woven culture of those combat forces that we are asking so much of at this time, and finally the direct feedback from the [Pentagon] survey, my recommendation is that we should not implement repeal at this time," said Gen. James Amos, the commandant of the Marine Corps.
Nevertheless, he later said, "despite the challenges … at the end of the day we are Marines. Should Congress change the law then our nation's Marine Corps will faithfully support the law."
Amos said the survey conducted by the Pentagon showed that overturning the ban would be disruptive to combat forces on the ground in Afghanistan.
"I cannot reconcile nor turn my back on the negative perceptions held by our Marines who are most engaged in the hard work of day-to-day operations in Afghanistan," he told the panel. "We asked for their opinion and they gave it to us. Their message is that the potential exists for disruption to the successful execution of our current combat mission, should repeal be implemented at this time."
Alluding to the survey, the Marine chief said, "Approximately 45 percent of Marines surveyed view the repeal negatively regarding unit effectiveness, unit readiness, and cohesion."
He continued, "Of particular concern to me is that roughly 56 percent of combat arms Marines voiced negative concerns. Negative benchmarks for combat arms Marines ranged between 66 percent for unit effectiveness and 58 percent for cohesion."
The survey in question is the one that the Pentagon released this week. It was aimed at gauging the impact of repealing the law among military members without directly asking for a position on whether or not to abolish it.
Army chief of staff Gen. George Casey Jr. agreed that the law should not be repealed in a time of war.
"Implementation of the repeal of 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' would be a major cultural and policy change in the middle of a war," he said.
The Pentagon survey "clearly states that over 40 percent of our combat arms soldiers believe that the presence of a gay service member in their unit would have a negative impact on the unit's effectiveness, on the trust that the soldiers feel for each other and on their morale," Casey added.
He went on to say that the repeal of the law "in the near term will 1) add another level of stress to an already stretched force; 2) be more difficult in combat arms units; and 3) be more difficult for the Army than the report suggests."
However, Casey also said, "properly implemented, I do not envision that a repeal of 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' will keep us from accomplishing our worldwide missions, including combat operations."
Air Force chief of staff Gen. Norton Schwartz, who agrees that the law should not be repealed at this time, was more specific as to when the statute should be overturned.
"It's difficult for me as a member of the Joint Chiefs to recommend placing any additional discretionary demands on our leadership cadres in Afghanistan at this particularly demanding time," Schwartz told the Senate panel.
"I therefore recommend deferring full implementation and certification until 2012, while initiating training and education efforts soon after you take a decision to repeal."
Referring to the survey, he said, "The DOD study confirms that Air Force attitudes run roughly 70-30 towards those who see positive mix or no effect with respect to allowing open service by gay and lesbian airmen in the Air Force. The favorability distribution runs slightly higher for the spouse survey and about 75-25 and lower for close combat Air Force skill sets at about 60-40."
Vice-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Marine Gen. James Cartwright, chief of Navy operations Adm. Gary Roughead, and Coast Guard commandant Adm. Robert Papp Jr., all agreed that Congress should move to repeal the ban.
Although they did voice some concerns, they also said they could be dealt with.
"Should the current law be repealed, it is my view implementation of a new Department policy would involve manageable risk in regards to military effectiveness – even during the high tempo of wartime operations," Cartwright stated in his prepared remarks for the hearing.
During an earlier Armed Forces Committee hearing, on Thursday, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen stated in his prepared remarks, "I find the argument that war is not the time to change to be antithetical with our own experience since 2001. War does not stifle change; it demands it. It does not make change harder; it facilitates it."
Reacting to the opposition from some of the military chiefs, Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.), the main sponsor of the Congressional act that would repeal the law, told CNSNews.com, "I thought it was a good day of testimony for those of us who want to repeal 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' because though there was some opposition there was some strong support among [the military chiefs]."
"Half of them [including Vice-Chairman Cartwright] supported repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, two said they're a little worried about the consequences, but if they had time they could do it," added Lieberman.
He continued, "but you know they all said that if we repeal the law, they'll make it work and that the repeal language as we have it in our bill gives them plenty of time, working with the Secretary of Defense, to repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' in a way that it mitigates or eliminates any of the risks they're worried about."
Lieberman indicated that he has the votes to pass the repeal. Conversely, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the ranking-member of the panel that held the hearing who has been leading the fight against repeal, on the other hand, said he agrees with the military chiefs who testified that this is not the right time to abolish the law.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Mullen have indicated that they would not certify the military as ready to implement a repeal of the law until the military can prepare post-repeal policies and regulations and has initiated an education and training program for the forces.
The law in question is U.S. Code Title 10, Subsection 654. It was signed by President Bill Clinton in 1993. ("Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is a separate Clinton policy directive established in December 1993.)

In any given year, thousands of new drivers will require auto insurance for their vehicles in New Jersey. In addition, thousands more will be seriously considering alternatives to the car insurance they currently have. When consider the average cost of car insurance per year in the state, who would blame them?
Many people end up trying to look for the best auto insurance, only to find themselves coming short. To aid you in your quest, let's take a moment to review the best auto insurance to see why it can be so hard to pin down a particular insurance provider as the 'best.'
What Makes Something The Best Auto Insurance?
Is the best auto insurance the one with the lowest payment? What if the lowest payment company did not pay out on 50% of its claims? Would it still be the best? What if the 'best' company charged you way more for additional car insurance, would an alternative be better? As a final consideration, what if you could match your car insurance with other forms of insurance under the same company, there by saving a lot of money. Even if the car insurance costs way more than the competition, you end up saving far more than anyone else through the discounts of combining insurance coverage.
The purpose of the above paragraph is to emphasize just how quickly the best auto insurance can change depending on your needs in the moment. Ultimately, the best thing you can do is to carefully review the kind of auto insurance you need, as well as any expansions onto whatever existing coverage you may have. Collect between 5 to 10 free quotes, and compare the quotes based on how much they charge for specific kinds of coverage, as well as overall.
If you are still keep for a list of some of the more popular inexpensive options, then the following list of 5 insurance providers is a great place for you to get started. With information and ratings provided by ValuePenguin, you can use their results to begin your own search for the best auto insurance.
1st Place Goes To AAA at $1,187 A Year
With a presence all over the United States and a record for superior customer service, AAA wins out in the hearts and minds of countless people who were glad they had their roadside assistance. In addition, their insurance in New Jersey is among the least expensive options available.
2nd Place Goes To NJ Skylands at $1,213 A Year
While it may not have the same recognition as AAA, NJ Skylands is none-the-less a choice worth considering with such inexpensive options for car insurance.
3rd Place Goes To Farmers Insurance at $1,301 A Year
Another recognizable name in quality insurance, Farmers Insurance is worth a look as well.
4th Place Goes To Norfolk & Dedham at $1,443 A Year
5th Place Goes To Plymouth Rock at $1,488 A Year

JMP Securities Ups McDATA to Outperform
From Standard & Poor's Equity Research
JMP Securities upgraded McDATA (MCDTA) to outperform from market perform, explaining that the company is about to capitalize on two material product cycles over the next several quarters.
Analyst Samuel Wilson says the company is facing an industry wide transition from 2 Gbps fiber channel networks to 4 Gbps fiber channel networks. Second, he believes that the company has improving prospects for its high-end Intrepid 1000 series Director class product, where it is early to the game. He bumps his 2006 earnings per share (EPS) estimate by a penny to 25 cents and keeps his 35 cents 2007 estimate. Given the history of execution risks, he is reluctant to employ greater multiples at this time and sets a $4.50 stock price target.

Nuts, beans, and lentils best for improving blood glucose control
Posted on Dec. 17, 2008, 7:52 a.m. in Diabetes
Recent study results show that eating a diet that contains plenty of low-glycemic foods such as nuts, beans, and lentils is best for helping people with type 2 diabetes to improve their blood glucose control and reduce risk factors for heart disease.
Dr David Jenkins and colleagues studied the effectiveness of two different diets – a low-glycemic diet and a high-cereal fiber diet – on glycemic control and cardiovascular risk factors in people with type 2 diabetes. Participants were randomly assigned to follow one of the diets for 6 months. Results showed that those following the low-glycemic diet saw greater improvement in their blood glucose control and heart disease risk factors than those following the high-cereal fiber diet.
The authors concluded: "Lowering the glycemic index of the diet improved glycemic control and risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD). These data have important implications for the treatment of diabetes where the goal has been tight glycemic control to avoid complications. The reduction in HbA1c was modest, but we think it has clinical relevance. Low–glycemic index diets may be useful as part of the strategy to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes taking antihyperglycemic medications."

Walking my Dogbyslutwhat2be©
I originally joined literotica because I grew tired of leaving anonymous feedback. Always felt a little cowardly if my comment was critical. Thought I might enjoy giving an identity to my comments with no intention of ever writing a story. It was enough for me to get a turn-on from other's submissions.
Then something recently happen to me that I decided I would like to share. So here goes, like it or not here is my first attempt at writing.
On Saturday mornings my husband usually heads out to the golf course, leaving me in bed. At some point later in the morning my little Cocker Spaniel woke me. She seemed to need to go out very badly apparently my spouse didn't let her out before leaving. I got up walked to the patio door in my night gown letting her out then headed to the kitchen for coffee. I only took a few steps before she scratched on the door to reenter. She had not had time to even get to the lawn and I realized the problem. She wanted to go for her morning walk. "Sorry little girl, after I have a little coffee." My honey had made a pot and left it ready for me. I was able to enjoy half a cup before she was at my feet with her leash in her mouth.
Heading back to the bedroom I decided I wasn't ready to get dressed yet. Not expecting to see anyone but possibly a jogger or another dog walker. I removed my night gown and put on a black bra that matched my black panties, covering with a white canvas trench coat. We were then off for our morning walk. A block or so away enjoying morning air and two young guys approached me.
"Excuse me miss, my friend and I are looking for work. Do you have yard work we could do for you? Tree trimming, hedge clipping, mowing or cleaning we'll do anything. We work hard and cheap. You won't be disappointed."
I told him. "Thanks for calling me miss, but it's Mrs. and my husband handles all our yard work. It would be up to him to hire any freelance workers."
The guy doing all the talking looked to be mid 20's and he was a small guy. The other one was much bigger, but he was the young one. He had a baby face and he couldn't have been more than 19 or 20.
The young guy never said a word. He just looked me up and down with a hungry smirk. Like someone checking out a dessert buffet. The smaller guy seemed to want to keep the conversation going. He gave me his cell number for my husband, talked about my dog. He kneeled down to pet her and gave me a strong look as well.
Call me weird, but when males half my age eat me up with their eyes. I take that as a compliment even though I had no idea why. I asked myself do I look that good in a plain white trench coat that stops just above the knee. Even though I was enjoying this attention I said, "I should get moving guys and maybe you want to get back to looking for paying customers."
He said; "Ok my name is Greg and my friend is Phil. I sure hope your husband gives me a call."
I responded; "Been nice to meet you Greg and Phil. I'll be sure to give him your number and I'm Lynn.
For the first time a sound came out of Phil; "Nice to meet you Lynn I sure enjoyed seeing you"
Well I wasn't admitting to him but I sure enjoyed the way he was still looking at me as I walked away. I couldn't help but be intrigued over the emphasis he put on seeing.
As soon as I got back to the house I headed straight to the bedroom and my full length mirror. Just had to see for myself how I looked in this trench coat. Walking in front of the mirror prepared to spin around like a New York model to admire myself. Instead I got the shock of my life and felt incredibly stupid. My black underwear was visible right thru the canvas material. This was the object of young Phil's ogle. He was salivating over seeing my underwear not my appearance. I took the coat off and held it up to the light for inspection. It really wasn't all that transparent. If I have been more careful and worn lighter colored underwear it would not have been a problem. Then I looked back in the mirror at myself in bra and panties. I told myself; "Not bad for a 41 year old." Then I got back into the trench coat, desperately wanting some indication the guys were lusting for me not my underwear. Pulling the coat tight around my frame and turning to view from every angle. No luck or no gratification, just a weak view of my undies. The gawking was lust for my black underwear not appreciation of an attractive lady. Then it hit me. I still enjoyed the little episode. In fact now that I knew what happened it turned me on even more. Then I pulled the coat wide open with both hands like a bird spreading his wings. Maybe I should say, like a flasher and I flashed the guys a shot at the real thing. Even if I was flashing a mental picture of the guys.
At that point I heard the front door. Moving into another room to peek out I was frightened to see it was the 2 guys. They had followed me, was my first thought. The excitement I felt from their gawking wasn't going to let me ignore them. Also I told myself maybe they're simply going door to door. Just playing it safe I went to the door with phone in hand as if I was talking to someone. Opening the door I told nobody on the phone, "Hold on a second." They would have had plenty of time to do whatever to me before anyone on the phone could do anything. This just gave me more courage to open the door.
As soon as Greg saw me he said, "Sorry Lynn we were going door to door. I had no idea this was your home."
I said; "no problem sorry I can't help you out." Then I remembered the old arbor at the back of our lot. It had rotted down. Collapsed along with all the other leaves and brush that accompanied. My husband had promised for months to clean up the mess. So I explained this to the boys and asked that they take a look and give me a price.
Greg came back with a price, "We'll clean it all up and move out to the curb for $50, 25 to each of us."
I was prepared to pay them $50 each, so I said, "Everything you need tools, leaf bag or whatever should be in the garden shed. Do a good job and I'll pay you more than $25 each. If you need something just knock. I'll probably be in the computer room, pointing to the corner of the house. You could just call me at the window or tap on the glass."
They went to work and I went in to get dressed in something other than trench coat and underwear.
After showering, getting dressed I made myself a lite breakfast and long awaited coffee. Then off to the computer room to check out the net. Before sitting down took a quick glance out the window to see the guys hard at work. About 2 hours later I heard the guys pass under my side window moving the stuff to the curb. When I rolled my chair over to the window to check on their progress. I overheard Phil say, "Man I got to take a piss." He then pulls out this huge cock to pee on the side of my house.
Now I should point out here that most guys have their favorite female body part. I'm no different. I enjoy seeing a big hard handsome cock. That turns me on so much more that washboard abs. Which Phil possessed, he was shirtless, what was in his hand is so much better. It was straight, smooth, very big and gorgeous. He was right below my window and I stood there to watch him pee. When the stream died out he remained there with it in hand. More than just shaking it off I think he was doing a bit of playing. I was in no hurry for him to move on but Greg should be back anytime. Suddenly he looked up and saw me. His eyes also got huge and he froze with his mouth open. Quickly I opened the window determined that he would be the one caught, not me.
Grinning I said, "thanks for hosing off the side of the house Phil, but you are welcome to use the restroom in the pool area." We have a screened in pool with a full bathroom. He was still standing there frozen. Trying to bring him out of shock I said. "That is a big hose too. That's a fire hose not garden hose."
That finally put him at ease and he stuffed Mr. Wonderful back in his shorts and back to work.
Shortly thereafter my husband got home from the golf course. I told him that I had hired two young guys to clean up the mess in the back of the lawn. He wasn't disappointed because he had been procrastinating about this for some time. He went out to check on the job. He was apparently satisfied, shortly after I saw him and Greg walking around talking and pointing. A little later I found out that he had hired the boys to do even more work. It had something to do with trimming and spreading mulch. They would be coming around for a few more days. That was the only part I cared to understand. I was thinking I hope I get to see Phil pee again.
Bob told me about the whole deal but I wasn't paying much attention until he said, "They will be back Monday morning to get started.
I shriek: "Oh no the forecast is sunny and 80 degrees Monday. I was going to lay out by the pool to get some color before summer."
Bob smirked and answered, "You can still do that. They shouldn't be making much noise and I'm sure they won't mind.
Then he added another thought, "Just don't wear that skimpy red bikini. They might get distracted and clip a body part with the hedge clippers."
Why did he have to add that tidbit? I had had enough mayhem for one day. The episode with the trench coat and being frighten when they showed up at the front door. A mental picture I couldn't toss of a young kid with a horse's cock peeing on the side of the house. Now for the rest of the day and all day Sunday I'll have Monday morning on my mind. Bob did however give a rubber stamp to my being out back in a bikini while the guys work. He knows how prone I am to teasing and flirting. What he doesn't know is if he fails to fuck me tonight I will be up after he falls asleep with one of my toys. That may happen even if he does. It should go without saying that I'll be thinking about Phil's cock...
Just as I expected Monday was on my mind for the remainder of the weekend. Different scenarios kept playing in my mind. I already felt guilty and nothing had happened.
When Monday finally arrived the guys got there around 8:30 and went to work.
The weather man got it right. It was 80 degrees and sunny. We have the screened in pool and as a result I have several bikinis as well as cover-ups. I thought it only appropriate that I wear my black. No way was I going to wear the red that Bob had cautioned about wearing. About 9 I got into the black and added a cashmere poncho cover up that was purposely see-through. Working around the house a little maybe to build confidence then turned on some music and went out with a book to the pool deck.
The Guys looked up as soon as I walked out, so I said. "Morning Greg and Phil"
They both responded with a "Good Morning."
"I was planning to get some sun this morning before I knew you were going to be here. Not going to let you get in the way of my plans, so you don't let me get in the way of your work. It you don't have any water, there's bottled water and sodas in the fridge behind the bar. Just help yourself and don't forget you're welcome to use this restroom. No peeing on the grass or in the bushes."
That said I turned my lounge to face the sun, shed my cover-up then sat down with my book to get some sun.
I was wearing dark sun glasses so I could look up without moving my head. I could see they each would occasionally stretch a neck to get a look. This was amusing as well as enjoyable.
A little later I could feel myself burning and realized I had forgotten to put on sun screen. As I applied lotion to my legs Phil came in to use the restroom. He went to the fridge got two bottles of water.
Then as he walked out he saw me applying sun screen and offered, "Can I help you with that."
Smiling I said, "No thanks I think I can manage."
When Greg walked in later I looked at the clock and it was 12:15. I asked, "Are you guys going to take a lunch break."
Greg answered; we both work part-time at a pizza restaurant. We go in at 5 today so we were thinking we would work here till about 2 then stop at Mickey D's."
"Well suite yourself, but if you wanted to take a lunch break and work a bit later. I would be happy to fix you guys some sandwiches."
By now Phil had walked up on the outside. They looked at each other without speaking. Then Greg said, "Sure that would be great."
"Ok how do tuna salad sandwiches with cold slaw sound to you?" Had plenty of both for another purpose, I would just need to replace.
They both said fine and I replied "give me about 15 min, we'll eat right here on the patio."
It took a little more than 15 minutes but I got a simple lunch together and we sat down to eat.
They thanked me for preparing and setting out lunch otherwise the guys were very quiet. I decided to break the ice.
I said," isn't it funny just 2 days ago you were looking at my underwear through to my raincoat and today we're having lunch together. Both guys got this guilty smile, as if they have been caught with their hands in the candy dish. After a little pause we all burst into laughter.
I wanted to make sure these guys knew that I didn't expose my underwear on purpose.
"I had no idea that canvas rain coat was so transparent. Going out that way was careless mistake on part."
For the first time Phil articulates a full sentence. "Well it was a lucky break on our part."
We all had another laugh and I said. "Come on now you sound as if I exposed myself. All you saw was a faint view of my underwear.
They both just smiled and let that thought go. We went on talking and getting acquainted.
As it turned out they were both going to school. They both worked part-time in a Pizza shop and were using spring break to try to make extra money. It was impressive they were working spring break rather than go off partying. All along I had thought that Phil was a big dumb shy kid. Turns out he is outgoing and intelligent. He was studying to be a physical therapist. Bob had not told me, but they were going to be here working most of the week. The guys helped me clean up and return things to the inside. They were heading back to work as returned to my lounge.
When Phil asked, "are you going to tan your back now?"
"Well I hadn't thought about it till now, but I guess I should."
Phil cautioned me, "You really should have sunscreen applied before you start getting UV exposure."
I chuckled, "and you are volunteering to do the application?"
"Well yes, but I only want to help you get a nice tan with no skin damage and I have some fantastic California bronze in my bag I'll rub on you"
A voice in my head was telling me no don't do it but I wouldn't listen and said, "Ok, but seem as you are too anxious to get your hands on me."
Phil replied, "I do want to help you get a nice tan. I'm not going to lie though and say I won't enjoy the application."
He retrieved the lotion then moved the lounge for maximum sunlight then placed a towel over the top end for my upper body. I didn't know why until he started. He unhooked my top and the towel was for covering myself if I moved. He seems to be doing more rubbing than necessary to apply sunscreen. Those big hand felt so good in didn't complain even though he also got dangerously close to private areas. Rubbing down my sides, his fingertips brushed the sides of my breasts. While applying to my legs those huge hands came all the way to the material of my suite bottoms and his thumbs very personal between my legs. I'm not sure how long the application, if that is what it was, lasted. He eventually went back to work and I fell asleep.
The guys stopped work at 4 and as they headed out I told them I wouldn't be around for lunch on Tuesday, so they were on their on to bring lunch or whatever.
On Wednesday it was another hot sunny day so I wanted to get more sun. Probably if I were honest I wanted another sunscreen application. I had some things to do around the house that were out of the way about 11. When out to offer the guys lunch again.
Greg said, "I won't be here for lunch I go in to the restaurant at 1 on Wednesdays. It will only be Phil, he goes in at 5 every day."
This information brought on a huge flow of mixed emotions. It was as if the good side and the bad side of my brain were in an argument. Bad me was saying "cool I'm going to be alone with Phil." Good me said, "No just stay inside and let him work."
I had offered lunch so I couldn't renege. Bad me still wanted to sunbathe and in the red suite that Bob had mentioned, but good me said no way, that's a thong. Finally I settled on a yellow suite that was smaller than Mondays outfit and putting on a terrycloth knee length robe to cover myself for lunch.
As Phil and I had lunch my nerves began to relax. We talked a lot about physical fitness and nutrition. He brought up that I was getting plenty vitamin D from the sun. Again he wanted to apply his lotion.
I said, "You seem to be doing more rubbing than applying on Monday." Also I should have mentioned that his hands got a bit out of bounds at times but I didn't. I was having another fight with myself over saying anything or letting him repeat.
He replied, "It's important to rube the lotion into the skin. That's part of process."
He even took it a step further, "I've noticed you have a lot of tension in your upper back and shoulders. You should let me try to message that out for you."
"Now you want to blatantly give me a back rub."
Phil corrected me, "A therapeutic massage, not simple a back rub."
The battle in my headed persisted but with a hell of a lot of trepidation I agreed.
He helped me clear the table again then went to retrieve some type of cream or lotion.
Before laying down on the lounge I removed my robe and Phil suggested I spread that over the top. That told me he would be unhooking my top as before. This time however I gathered the material and lay down with my elbows at my side to protect my breasts. This was short-lived though because once he started he alternately pulled my arms out to work on my shoulders. This may have caused my boobs to be even more exposed. In short order I didn't care though. Oh did this feel good he was good with his hands. I was a little disappointed when he moved from my back down to work on my legs. Still what he was doing to my legs was equally relaxing.
When he got to the top of thighs his hands kept moving north. His hands went right under my suite onto the checks of my butt. This tripped an alarm switch in my mind. Bad me said, "It's ok. If I was at a spa I would be nude." Good me said, "I'm not at a spa and he is getting too personal."
All the while I'm having this battle with myself he is getting even more bold. His fingers were tight together as he pushed under my suite. Once on my bare ass he spread his right thumb out all the way. When he would pull back slightly the thumb was under the gusset of my suite. All the time I'm fighting with myself he is getting bolder. By the time I made up my mind that I had to put a stop to this. His thumb had passed between the lips of my vagina several times.
I was about to say this has to stop when he hooked the gusset of my suite with his thumb totally exposing my cunt. His other hand went under my side and began to pull me up. At that point I knew I had to bring this to a stop. As I moved to face him I started to say. "Phil this is going too far and has to stop" All those words never got out of my mouth because I gasped. He was kneeling between my legs nude from the waist down his shorts were around one ankle. That big hard cock was in his hand. He had pulled my suite out of the way to push that cock into me. For a short time I froze eyeballing that dick and trying to collect my thoughts. It's no surprise that the bad side of me was saying lay down and let him put that big baby in you. I came to realize while I stared at his cock he was staring at my tits. I got up so fast I forgot about my top and didn't cover myself.

The final game became the toughest loss for the Seminoles, who missed a chance to make back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances.
But moments after the Mar. 18 loss to Cincinnati in Nashville, Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton was thinking about next year.
"There were a lot of positive things that happened this year that are going to set the tone for the direction of this program," he said. "We're specifically moving it forward and took a giant step in the right direction. I'm not going to allow myself to identify this year [with failure] because we lost this game. There's too many positives that I'm taking away."
The Seminoles' faithful and school officials were hoping Hamilton won't take away something to a new school. Rumors flew about Hamilton being a strong contender for the University of Illinois job. The media reports were conflicting about the interest in Hamilton and vice versa, but some type of proposal was made.
Provided he stays, the Seminoles, who finished 25-10, will try to reload the same way they did after the 2011 loss in the Sweet 16.
"Of course I wanted a national championship, but I couldn't ask for anything else," sophomore guard Ian Miller said. "The way we bonded, the way we came together. We were so disjointed at the beginning of the season. Just on the court, it was like we were just individuals. And then we snapped into it. We got tired of losing, we got tired of doing things the wrong way, and we came together. That's when you saw that we became brothers and started moving in the right way and became one of the best teams in the country."
More important, as Hamilton said, the Seminoles "changed the culture of basketball at FSU." There was a definite uptick in ticket sales, student interest and community perception about the future of the program.
The Seminoles have earned at least 20 wins for four consecutive seasons, a school record. Florida State has now appeared in four consecutive NCAA Tournaments, the second-longest ongoing streak in the ACC. ...
Hamilton was named the Division I Coach of the Year in District 2 by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. The honor makes him eligible for national coach of the year honors. Prior to the ACC Tournament, he was chosen the ACC Coach of the Year for the second time, and he became the only man to win ACC coaching honors and Big East Conference coaching honors twice in each conference. The Big East honors came during his time at Miami. ...
Hamilton stayed tight-lipped, keeping with his personality, while rumors swirled for a few days about the Illinois coaching vacancy. The Chicago Tribune reported Hamilton was actively lobbying for the job. Florida State officials said Illinois never contacted them or asked permission to contact Hamilton.
FINAL RECORD: 25-10, 12-4, third place in the ACC.
2011-12 SEASON RECAP: Even with lofty preseason expectations, the Seminoles exceeded anyone's forecast by winning the ACC Tournament for the first time in school history and earning a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament. It matched the highest seeding in school history. By finishing third in the ACC with dramatic wins against North Carolina and Duke, the Seminoles raised the profile of their program.
If only the ending had been better. The Seminoles reverted back to past offensive woes in failing to make the Sweet 16, which put a damper on the entire body of work. The success of rival Florida in the NCAA Tournament didn't help matters with the fans.
Still, the Seminoles reached a new level for awareness, ticket sales and national perception.
But how this all happened for Florida State makes the achievement more noteworthy. On Jan. 7, following a 20-point road loss to Clemson in the ACC opener, the Seminoles were 9-6 and going nowhere. They had a soul-searching meeting that ignited motivation.
Their early-season schedule had gotten the best of them. First, they suffered through an anemic shooting performance in a loss to Harvard in a tournament in the Bahamas. The next day, they lost an overtime game to Connecticut. Four days later, on Nov. 30, they were blown out at Michigan State by 16 points in the ACC-Big 10 Challenge. Before the New Year began, they looked bad in a loss at Florida and in a triple-overtime home defeat to Princeton.
The Clemson loss continued the despair. But from that point, a changed team emerged. The backcourt got better, and Florida State recorded signature wins against the Tar Heels and Blue Devils. After a horrific effort in a road loss to Boston College, the Seminoles won their next three ACC games to seal an NCAA Tournament bid.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "Now we're going to go back, evaluate everything, realize that we made some tremendous progress, and I thought last year at the end of the season that we would be better this year than we were last year, and I thought that we proved that we were. I'm just foolish enough to think that with what we have coming back and what I think is coming in, we're going to be a very good basketball team next year." -- Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton on his outlook for the Seminoles in 2012-13.
A lot to be proud of for this FSU squad

Yesterday was my birthday! But Mom said I get a whole birthday week to celebrate since I'm so awesome so that's even better :)
I asked for chicken to eat. And cats and gophers to catch. So far, I've only gotten chicken. Must lodge a complaint re: my other requests going unfilled...
We went for a fun beach walk yesterday. Mom said I could choose whatever route I wanted so I took us through the neighborhood and up and down a bunch of streets. Then I got us to the beach.
Then today we went for another fun walk today! Up and down more neighborhood streets (but different ones than yesterday) and then to the beach again. Was cooler today and the fog came in so that made me (and Storm) happy.
I am now hanging out in the front yard relaxing in the fog. Hoping Mom gives me more chicken later. Oh...and some cats and/or gophers to chase. Come on....it's my birthday...and I'm sooo cute :)
We came up to Tahoe on Friday with Mom. The cold air in her car broke and we drove through the 7th layer of hell, also called Sacramento and Roseville. I thought we were going to melt. It was 1000 degrees. Or 97. Same thing to a husky. Storm and I drank all the water she gave us so she pulled over to a McDonald's and they filled our bowl with ice. That was good. Storm drank much more of it than I did but we had plenty until we got to our house.
We got here on Friday and we get to stay until next Monday (week from today.) Mom took a vacation from work so we could hang out up here. She knows we like it!
She has been taking us on good walks. Storm gets shorter ones because he is sick(ish) so he gets tired and hotter faster. So we go and then she brings us back and leaves Storm home and then we go on another one! She takes us early in the AM so it's still pretty cool out. Not cool enough for me but I'm not sure it ever gets that cold here! Certainly not when there is no snow!!
I met another husky on Saturday. She was very nice. She was shy at first but then she realized how awesome I am and we sniffed and played a little. She was so small though - she was smaller than Storm. Mom said I am a big husky.
Then I met another snow dog - an American Eskimo dog but this one was a miniature version! He was very friendly and playful but why would you make a mini one? How can pull sleds and work in the snow if 1 good snowdrift would bury you? But he was cool so whatever. His brother was a little poodle. He was also cool but wow...living with a poodle. Not very tough or fierce!
Our neighbor Josh seems to be away. Mom said his parents took him on their weekend vacation. I think since he is gone, I should keep his nice soft, green lawn company! Mom won't let me though.
And she still won't let me catch a chipmunk. I need to work on her...or be sneakier :)
So Mom took me on a super fun walk this morning and she let me lead all the way....I wound our way through the neighborhoods and then we ended up at the beach - yay!
Then we went to work with Mom and hung out there. Then she made go with her to buy stuff which thankfully included some more food for us. She said she bought us treats too but I didn't see any?
Then she took us and got us chicken mcnuggets for my birthday! YAY!!!! I had to share with Storm but I guess that is kinda fair since he shared his with me on his birthday. All the people that work there came over to the drive thru window to see us as Storm was hanging his head out the window drooling. Apparently, some find that cute. What a ham he is. But I would have preferred if Mom bought the 20 piece and not the 6 piece - but whatever...they were yummy!! Thanks Mom :-)

So you are the one who outbid me. I think that was the original Mab Paints boat. Raced in 1999 in Factory 2. Brett (Miccosukee) would know. Then John in Port Richey raced it in P2 class before selling to the guy in Cali. Boat is light and fast. I think they built the boat after watching us race our own 38 Superfast in F2 during the 1998 season. Our boat is still running in Belgium and actually raced P1 last year.
Trond and Nils built me a duplicate a couple of years ago. I stupidly sold it to a piece of $%@%@#$ overseas who ripped me off on the trade. But that is a story for a different day.
Still the 38 Superfast is my favorite boat of all time! You will absolutely love it. Enjoy...you bastard.

Since the announcement of Oracle to acquire Sun Microsystems you can find a lot of thoughts on the web about Oracle's main motivation behind the deal, the portfolio mapping of the two giants and how Oracle would leverage pieces of the new assets or possibly sell-off some again.
Please read this Forrester Report for more insights.
Oracle continues to assure they are not planning to depart from any of their new assets. If we believe in this mantra the consequences to the whole IT eco-system are severe. It is the first time that a large application vendor expands into the hardware territory and forces us to redefine the traditional view of IT market segmentation – again.
· Changing IT Markets Force Everyone to Rethink
Posted by Tom Grant on April 20, 2009
Ever since the IBM offer to acquire Sun fell through, we've been waiting for the other shoe to drop. Apparently, we didn't have to wait very long.
Honestly, I'm surprised at the strongly negative tone to many of the responses I've read or heard today. You expect to hear a lot of snarky sniping on Slashdot, but come on, Infoworld, do we really know that Oracle is going to lay off 10,000 Sun employees? (Which is a highly misleading headline, since in the last sentence of that article, you'll discover that Sun was already planning to lay off 6,000 people.)
Every deal has its pros and cons. Since other observerss have been focused on the potential downsides for Oracle, Sun, or their customers, let's leave those aside for the moment. Instead, let's talk about the waysin which this deal make sense.

Oscar Pistorius left off South African Paralympic team
South African double-amputee runner Oscar Pistorius was left off the country's track team for the Paralympic world championships, reports the Associated Press. The event will take place in Lyon, France next month, and South Africa selected its 32 athletes on Thursday.
Pistorius was charged with the premeditated murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in February and is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 19. Pistorius had planned to compete in the able-bodied world championships in Moscow (which end Aug. 18), but he has dropped out of all competition this year to focus on the trial. He has denied the murder charge and claims he thought Steenkamp was an intruder.
EPSTEIN: Pistorius' once-heartening tale now interlaced with murder, violence
ROSENBERG: Oscar Pistorius murder charge is shocking and disappointing Pistorius won gold medals in the men's 4 x 100 meter relay and 400 meter races at last summer's Paralympics, setting world records in both events. He was the first double-amputee to participate in the Olympics last summer in London, entering in the men's 400 meter race and 4 x 400 meter relay.

Londoners cycling to work on high pollution days may be doing themselves far more harm than good, Europe's Environment Commissioner warned today.
Janez Potocnik also advised people to be wary of jogging in the capital when air quality is very poor.
With the Mayor of London and Government facing criticism for not doing more to publicise pollution peaks, Mr Potocnik told The Standard: "It is wrong that people should be anything other than fully aware and informed when pollutant levels are high.
"Medical advice suggests that people should not exert themselves physically during episodes of high pollution - when that jog in the park or cycle to work could be doing considerably more harm than good."
With more than 3,000 deaths estimated to be linked to air pollution in London a year, former Slovenian minister Mr Potocnik urged people in the capital to use websites and apps which give regular updates on air quality in each borough.
But Boris Johnson rejected the Commisioner's warning on cycling and jogging.
"The sensible advice given to healthy Londoners by medical professionals is to continue their normal daily activity," said a spokeswoman for the Mayor.
"Recent research from Barcelona published in the British Medical Journal suggests the health benefits of cycling on normal healthy people greatly outweigh the health risk of air pollution 77 fold."
Mr Johnson is encouraging people to sign up to a free air text service - www.airtext.info - to receive daily updates on pollution levels.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs's website includes a Daily Air Quality Index forecast with a one to three rating for low pollution, four to six moderate, seven to nine high, and ten very high.
Public Health England advises that on high pollution days, anyone experiencing discomfort such as sore eyes, cough or sore throat should consider reducing activity, particularly outdoors.
Adults and children with lung problems, and adults with heart problems, should reduce strenuous physical exertion, particularly outdoors. Older people should also reduce physical exertion.
Britain is facing legal action by the European Commission for breaching EU rules on nitrogen dioxide levels, with many of the blackspots in London.
Boris Johnson has criticised Brussels, arguing it has developed EU vehicle emissions standards which manufacturers have been able to "diddle".
The Mayor said this made it "doubly absurd" that the Commission was threatening to fine the UK £300 million for excess NO2.
But Mr Potocnik hit back, claiming Mr Johnson had "romanticised the dust of London" after his comments following recent freak weather which saw Saharan sand, as well as smog, descend on the capital.
Without naming the Mayor, he accused him of an "intellectual sleight of hand" with his criticism of Brussels, stressing member states ultimately make decisions and they had "hampered" Commission moves for cleaner engines in a short timeframe.
However, a spokesman for the Mayor stressed he had "the most ambitious and comprehensive package of measures to tackle pollution".Reuse content

Xoloitzcuintle Temperament
What's Good About 'Em,
What's Bad About 'Em
By Michele Welton.
Copyright © 2000-2016
The elegant, animated Xoloitzcuintle (Mexican Hairless) moves lightly and gracefully, runs swiftly, and jumps and climbs with agility. His webbed toes are somewhat prehensile, allowing him to grip toys with dexterity -- or your neck in an affectionate hug.
Tranquil in the home, the Xoloitzcuintle is exceptionally attentive to his owner and needs a lot of personal interaction. He is likely to pine or act out when left too long without the companionship of people or other pets.
Wary of strangers, the Xoloitzcuintle makes an alert watchdog, exceedingly aware of his surroundings. Some Xolos are high-strung and/or timid of new people and new situations. Early and frequent socialization will help build a confident, stable temperament.
Still somewhat primitive in behavior, the Xoloitzcuintle is most content with structure and consistency in his life. He often reacts based on instinct, and his reflexes are lightning fast.
Though independent, the Xolo is smart and sensitive and responds best to gentle, reward-based obedience training. Harsh discipline only frightens him.
Because of his athleticism and ingenuity, your fences should be high and secure. Don't allow barking to become established.
If you want a dog who...
- Comes in several sizes, from small to medium
- Has an exotic, elegant appearance, like that of a small deer
- Is mostly hairless, needs no brushing, and doesn't shed
- Moves with light-footed grace, runs swiftly, and jumps and climbs with agility
- Is high-spirited, smart, and sensitive
- Makes a keen watchdog, but not a guarddog
- Is usually peaceful with other animals
A Xoloitzcuintle may be right for you.
If you don't want to deal with...
- A somewhat highstrung, emotional, dependent personality that demands much attention and will bark or act destructively when left too long without companionship
- Timidity or suspiciousness in some lines, or when not socialized enough
- Independent thinking (mind of his own)
- Emotional sensitivity to stress, loud voices, rough handling, and abrupt changes in schedule
- Tendencies to climb or dig to escape from confinement
- Barking
- Housebreaking difficulties
- Vigilant care of the hairless skin, which is sensitive to sun, cold, rain and sleet, chemicals, and hard sleeping surfaces
A Xoloitzcuintle may not be right for you.
- choosing the RIGHT breeder and the RIGHT puppy
- or choosing an ADULT dog from your animal shelter or rescue group – a dog who has already proven that he doesn't have negative traits
- training your dog to respect you
- avoiding health problems by following my daily care program in 11 Things You Must Do Right To Keep Your Dog Healthy and Happy
More traits and characteristics of the Xoloitzcuintle
If I was considering a Xoloitzcuintle, I would be most concerned about...
- Separation anxiety. More than most other breeds, the Xoloitzcuintle needs a great deal of companionship and does not like being left alone for more than a few hours. Bored Xolos become anxious, which they express by destructive chewing and barking. If you work all day, this is not the breed for you.
- Providing enough socialization. Standoffish by nature, Xoloitzcuintli need extensive exposure to people and to unusual sights and sounds. Otherwise their natural caution can become shyness or suspiciousness, which are difficult to live with.
- Mind of his own. Xoloitzcuintli are not Golden Retrievers. They have an independent mind of their own and can be stubborn and manipulative. You must show them, through absolute consistency, that you mean what you say.
To teach your Xolo to listen to you, "Respect Training" is mandatory. My Xoloitzcuintle Training Page discusses the program you need.
- Emotional sensitivity. Be honest...is there tension in your home? Are people loud or angry or emotional? Are there arguments or fights? Xoloitzcuintles are extremely sensitive to stress and can end up with digestive upsets and neurotic behaviors if the people in their home are having family problems. Xolos are peaceful dogs who need a harmonious home.
- Housebreaking problems. The Xoloitzcuintle is considered a "primitive" breed (meaning not too far from wild roots) and all of the primitive breeds are difficult to housebreak. Consistent crate training is mandatory. Sometimes a doggy door is necessary. And some owners never do get their Xoloitzcuintle fully housebroken. Territorial marking (unneutered males lifting their leg to pee in your house) is a common problem.
- Fence security. Many Xolos climb like monkeys and dig like gophers. You may need higher fences than you might imagine for their small size. You may also need to sink wire into the ground along the fence line to thwart digging.
- Barking. Xoloitzcuintli are often too quick to sound the alarm at every new sight and sound. You have to be equally quick to stop them so they don't turn into yapping nuisances.
- Skin care. The Xoloitzcuintle has delicate skin that must be protected from sunburn and freezing temperatures and frequently washed and moisturized. Xolos need soft blankets to curl up in.
To learn more about training Xoloitzcuintli to be calm and well-behaved, consider my dog training book, Teach Your Dog 100 English Words.
It's a unique Vocabulary and Respect Training Program that will make your Xoloitzcuintle the smartest, most well-behaved companion you've ever had.
Teaches your dog to listen to you, to pay attention to you, and to do whatever you ask him to do.
My dog buying guide, Dog Quest: Find The Dog Of Your Dreams, will teach you everything you need to know about finding a healthy Xoloitzcuintle. Health problems have become so widespread in dogs today that this book is required reading for ANYONE who is thinking of getting a purebred, crossbred, or mixed breed dog.
If you'd like to consult with me personally about whether the Xoloitzcuintle might be a good dog breed for your family, I offer a Dog Breed Consulting Service.
Once you have your Xoloitzcuintle home, you need to KEEP him healthy -- or if he's having any current health problems, you need to get him back on the road to good health.
My dog health care book, 11 Things You Must Do Right To Keep Your Dog Healthy and Happy is the book you need.
Raise your dog the right way and you will be helping him live a longer, healthier life while avoiding health problems and unnecessary veterinary expenses.
Please consider adopting an ADULT Xoloitzcuintle...
When you're acquiring a Xoloitzcuintle PUPPY, you're acquiring potential -- what he one day will be. So "typical breed characteristics" are very important.
But when you acquire an adult dog, you're acquiring what he already IS and you can decide whether he is the right dog for you based on that reality. There are plenty of adult Xoloitzcuintli who have already proven themselves NOT to have negative characteristics that are "typical" for their breed. If you find such an adult dog, don't let "typical breed negatives" worry you. Just be happy that you found an atypical individual -- and enjoy!
Save a life. Adopt a dog.

Quality Matters (QM) is a faculty-centered, peer review process that is designed to certify the quality of online and blended courses. QM is a leader in quality assurance for online education and has received national recognition for its peer-based approach and continuous improvement in online education and student learning. Washington State Community & Technical Colleges subscribe to the QM Program, as do many other statewide systems and individual institutions. As part of our continuous effort to improve the quality of our online courses, Pierce College subscribed to the Quality Matters program in 2009. The QM Program has three primary components: The QM Rubric, QM Professional Development and the Peer Review Process.
The Applying the QM Rubric (APPQMR) workshop* is QM's basic workshop, covering the QM Rubric and the process of using the QM Rubric to review online courses. It is intended for a broad audience, including those who wish to understand more about the QM Rubric and process of course review. The APPQMR is the pre-requisite for the Peer Reviewer Course, which is the required course to become a certified QM Peer Reviewer.
APPQMR training is a required by the Pierce College eLearning department for teaching online and hybrid courses at Pierce College. In-person and online options are offered a variety of times throughout the academic year. Please contact the eLearning department for upcoming APPQMR training dates. If you teach online and you are not sure you have completed this requirement, please contact the eLearning department to verify your training status.
Online Option: Fully online; usually two weeks in length; facilitated; no knowledge prerequisite requirements; participants must have computer and reliable internet access; expect to spend about 8 -10 hours per week in this workshop to successfully complete it. Please contact the eLearning department if you are interested in taking APPQMR online and they will direct you to the correct sign up form. A limited number of seats are available through the SBCTC.
Pierce College supports the application of the QM Rubric standards to its fully online courses to ensure they meet expectations, either from initial design and development or through revisions. The Quality Matters Rubric is research supported and promotes best practice-based quality standards and procedures. Faculty peer-reviewers use the QM Rubric to review Pierce College online courses to help meet our primary objective of ensuring quality assurance and promoting continuous improvement.
For more information about the Quality Matters Rubric please visit the QM website.

I'm interested in getting long-term care insurance through my financial adviser. How will my investments pay for this? It will be about $6,000 a year.
According to FPA member Mark K. Baker, CFP®, of Farmers Financial Solutions, one way to fund the premiums of your long-term care insurance policy is to designate a particular investment to cover the costs of that policy. "A single investment with funds of $150,000 earning a conservative four percent return would provide $6,000 per year of gain that would be used to pay the premiums," Baker said. "This would keep your principal intact. You also could slowly liquidate an investment to pay for the coverage. $150,000 divided by $6,000 would last for 25 years, if it had no investment gain. Or even use a combination of both, part gain and part principal. There are also some long-term care insurance policies that feature a paid up rider. You pay for a set amount of time and no premiums are payable after that period. Your current age, of course, would help to determine a more specific plan of action."

UW Start-Up Applied Dexterity Creates Innovation Ecosystem for Medical Robotics
Story by Eric Wagner
In 2002, officials with the U.S. Department of Defense wanted a way to treat wounded soldiers on the frontlines within the so-called Golden Hour—that period immediately after a person suffers a traumatic injury, when medical intervention can mean the difference between life and death. They were loath to put surgeons in harm's way, though, and looked to the field of robotic surgery for a solution. And they enlisted two professors of biorobotics from the UW College of Engineering, Blake Hannaford and Jacob Rosen.
So charged, Hannaford and Rosen developed a surgical platform, the RAVEN, that was smaller, lighter, and considerably less expensive than the da Vinci surgical system, which dominates the market. Controlling the RAVEN remotely, surgeons could perform minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery on a patient, maneuvering the RAVEN's two arms precisely in tight spaces, all by using 3D HD visualization. And they could do so from a safe location. In one memorable demonstration, operators in Seattle performed a series of procedures simulating surgical tasks with a RAVEN that had been reassembled 60 feet underwater off the coast of Key Largo, Florida.
Hannaford and Rosen saw that their system could be useful for more than just remote surgery, though—it could give a big boost to surgical robotics research more generally. But they needed help taking the RAVEN to market. That was when the UW Center for Commercialization (UW C4C) stepped in. Through a program offered by the UW Foster School of Business, an MBA student did market research on surgical robotics, to see how the RAVEN might fare. Then, the UW C4C New Ventures Mentor program paired Hannaford and Rosen with David Drajeske, a former engineer who had extensive experience both developing and launching new biotech companies. In 2013, the three of them formed Applied Dexterity, Inc.
The RAVEN gives researchers an out-of-the-box, ready-to-run platform with which to do cutting-edge biorobotics research. "It's like the early days of personal computing," says Drajeske, now Applied Dexterity's CEO. "If someone wanted to write code, they had to build their own PC. But then along came the Apple PC, and it just changed the game."
One benefit of the new platform, now in its third generation, is that unlike the da Vinci, which cannot be modified by individual users, the software for RAVEN II is open-source, providing the robotics community with a way to join their research under a common platform. "What this means for researchers is that they can really get under the hood and program the thing," Drajeske says. They can develop new tools for robotic surgery, as well as new procedures. And if they find ways to improve the platform, those improvements are available to the entire group.
Currently, 13 institutions around the world are using the RAVEN on a wide range of research projects. At Harvard University, for example, one team is studying how to operate on a beating human heart, which requires compensating for its movements. (During human-performed heart surgery currently, the heart must be stopped.) Another group, at the University of California-Berkeley, is learning how to teach the RAVEN to remove bad tissue from a surgical site on its own. "Figuring out ways to automate simple tasks can be really important," says Mohammad Haghighipanah, a graduate student in Hannaford's lab at UW.
The RAVEN is also useful for training purposes. Although the FDA has not yet approved it for surgery on human subjects, it has performed surgery on animals, and studies have shown that the skills surgeons pick up from training on a RAVEN transfer well to the da Vinci.
"It would be good for hospitals that have a da Vinci, but don't want to buy another one because it's too expensive," Haghighipanah says.
The Applied Dexterity team has been traveling far and wide to demonstrate the RAVEN. They recently showcased the technology in Hong Kong at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) International Conference on Robotics and Automation, and will travel to Chicago for the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems in the fall. And the RAVEN has already made its feature film debut, performing (simulated) brain surgery in a scene of Ender's Game.
More than 200,000 patients have benefited from robot-assisted surgical procedures. In this fast-growing market, researchers all over the world are looking for ways to improve the capabilities of robot-assisted surgery. Treatments need to be developed, and students of robotic surgery need to be trained and evaluated. The RAVEN will be a boon in all of this.
"Having a common platform like the RAVEN really helps to enable collaboration," Drajeske says. "It creates an innovation ecosystem."

I just received yet another call from a reporter asking me to comment on yet another BI vendor announcing R integration. All leading BI vendors are embedding/integrating with R these days, so I was not sure what was really new in the announcement. I guess the real question is the level of integration. For example:
Did I get that right? Any other features/capabilities that really distinguish one BI/R integration from another? Really interested in hearing your comments.

For those of you who have a quilt book on Kindle, how do you get a block pattern to the printer?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
For those of you who have a quilt book on Kindle, how do you get a block pattern to the printer?
Hmmmmmm. Very good question. I have a Kindle and will be watching this!! Ann
I know with my Nook I downloaded a Nook App onto my computer so that I could read any book that's on my Nook on my computer as well. If I want to print anything, I bring it up on my computer and print from there. I don't know if it works the same with the Kindle, but it would be worth looking into. Plus, reading patterns, looking at quilts, etc is MUCH easier on the computer than on the smaller e-book screen.

Hmmm. I have a Nook so I'll be interested in the answer too.
good question- hubby bought me two quilt books on his kindle---i can look at it and read the instructions---but i can not do anything else with it- and one of them is templates---so far a bit of a waste of money- i told him to hold off buying it but he wanted to (be sweet) & did it anyway---i feel that i still have to go buy the books.
hiding away in my stash where i'm warm, safe and happy
I downloaded a quilt book with my Kindle app on iPad and I was disappointed that I couldn't print out any of the templates. I won't be so impatient next time.
I was thinking of getting a kindle so hope there is an answer to this. I would think you could just plug it into your computer and download like you do pictures from camera to PC. At least thats what the salesman told me about pictures.
Blessings, Barbara Lee Joy
Can you tell me what quilt books you got on your Kindle?
Until I find out how to get something printed off of a kindle I'm not buying a quilting book for it yet. I'll keep to the old printing press until then.
Maybe the answer is to download the book on your computer first and then move to iPad and then back to computer for printing.

Did the words lusty and lustful once have quite different meanings? Darren, QLD
The words lusty and lustful did indeed have very different meanings. Both derive from the noun lust and in the 9th century, lust meant simply pleasure, delight. So lusty meant joyful, merry (and lustful full of lust or joy). In the 11th century lusty came to mean sexual appetite (or libidinous desire, degrading animal passion as the Oxford English Dictionary defines it) and this is the dominant meaning today, except in fixed expressions (like a lust for life) which preserve the earlier idea of enthusiasm for something. Risqué meanings will always come to dominate in this way. Economics has Greshams Law: Bad money drives out good. Sociology has Knights Law: Bad talk drives out good. Linguistics has something similar: Bad connotations drive out good. So lust was doomed from the start as soon as it took on the additional sense of desire it went down the slippery slope. Assisting this shift in meaning was the fact that English has so many words beginning with [l] that mean unchaste, wanton licentious, lascivious, loose, lubricous, lecherous, libidinous, lustful, lickerish, and lewd to name a few. Somehow this luscious liquidy l-sound seems well suited to convey the sense of wantonness. Words commonly group this way, sharing both meaning and a vague resemblance of sound. The sounds we use to stand for things start off being arbitrary, but over time the arbitrariness often falls away.
Where does the word Bonza (or Bonzer) come from? Noni, NSW
The origin isnt certain on this one, although it would seem to be obviously connected to the French word bon good and with some influence from American English bonanza (originally from Spanish and used in the US in the 1840s for a successful gold mine the influx of Americans to the goldfields from the 1850s added a considerable number of American colloquialisms.). The word bonzer/bonza first appeared in 1904 in written sources but it appeared then as bonster. A bonser or bonster is comparatively superior to a bons (is the quote from the Bulletin in 1904). So it would seem to be some sort of word play on bon. But around that time it also appeared in various other forms there was also boshter (Shes a little boshter!). There was a lot of regional variation then. One description in the Bulletin (1906) says boshter is Victorian and bosker is more usual in Sydney. There was also bontosher A bontosher is a real slasher, a fair hummer (there was even a mock female version bontosherina). Some have suggested this last one was a remodeling of the French bon + toujours always good (also pronounced bontodger). All of these versions meant something like first-rate if something was a bontosher or bonster it was a ripsnorter! Bonzer blokes, like beaut shielas, are probably a bit passé at the moment these expressions are disappearing, along with a lot of other early colloquial expressions. But this is the nature of slanguage for slang to stay expressive it has to change. [The Australian National Dictionary has some interesting entries for these words and includes a few lovely quotations.]

Just once, it'd be nice if a self-destructive rock star destroyed themselves in an even slightly novel way - self-immolate on the steps of some pariah state's embassy. Recruit a dozen desperate men and stage a coup in some fly-blown state. Take up bullfighting.
Sadly, just as most rock music seems gormlessly content to trudge the same three-chord-guitar-solo-after-the-second-verse structure forever, so most rock stars seem unable to think beyond the dreary staples of drugs, mindless damage to self and property, and minor confrontations with the law.
There may have been a time, in rock's first flush, when this kind of outlaw behaviour was a semi-spontaneous adjunct of the riotous new sound, a response to a frightened mainstream society struggling to constrain its restless young. At this late stage it's hard to escape the feeling that addiction and arrest have become the equivalent of scout's badges, things to be collected out of some vague sense of obligation.
It's even harder to imagine why anyone, beyond a few drippy teenagers with badly-applied eye shadow would still find this stuff exciting. Clearly, however, somebody does, or at least a lot of newspaper and television editors think they do.
The travails of the Libertines' hapless Pete Doherty are routinely reported all over the world, and not just by music media: his sorry saga will have been read by people who couldn't name a single Libertines' song with a gun at their heads.
Courtney Love, who hasn't made a remotely interesting record for more than a decade, nevertheless commands headlines with every court appearance. That the impenetrable doggerel of the Manics' Richey Edwards is, in some quarters, accorded Delphic stature, is more a reflection on his flaunted self-harm and disappearance than on his abilities as a lyricist. The myth being bought, by performer and audience alike, is that an appetite for destruction is a signifier of edgy street authenticity - a myth that, bizarrely, seems to have survived the heroin addiction of Marti Pellow.
This vicarious thrill-seeking is the only reason that anyone would spend money to see the forthcoming tour by Shane MacGowan and a reconstituted Pogues. While MacGowan has written many great songs, he has long since lost the ability to perform them competently: people who buy tickets for these gigs are buying tickets for a freakshow.
It's hard not to harbour similar suspicions about the beatification conferred upon Brian Wilson. Granted that the man created works of genius 40 years ago, but there is no way that he would enjoy such misty reverence had he not boiled his brain in acid, and cursed himself with the mental and physical infirmaries that cause his audience to respond as they would to a baby panda attempting to crawl. Any idiot can take drugs. Getting arrested is only as difficult as knocking a policeman's hat off. It is, surely, time we all grew out of this.

Forecasts to 2015
We produce future forecasts within the limits of available data. We can obtain data for our forecasting variables through 2010, thus we can produce 'future' forecasts which being in 2011 (although this analysis is conducted in mid-2012). However, we have trained our model to forecast over 5-year periods. Thus we present our future forecasts for the period 2011-2015.
Tables 1 and 2 list the fifteen countries most at risk of genocide and politicide onset in the period 2011 - 2015. Table 1 shows these countries with some of the most powerful predictors in our model. Table 2 shows the same list with some of the most time-variant predictors.

Marketing Guru's Lies Exposed! HTML version
Another BIG Concern . . .
After the recent Google panda updates, the effectiveness of
article marketing and anything related to mass article marketing
has greatly deteriorated or has tanked and caused real havoc for
I know there will be people who will argue that point with me and
have built entire businesses simply on writing articles;
I would agree that article marketing is still highly effective but the
content now needs to be 100% original AND for the volume of
work necessary in order to achieve even a small steady flow of
targeted traffic, you are looking at months of work.
Still you need to consider that proper marketing is always a good
investment of time. Article marketing, search engine optimization,
social media, paid media buys and of course affiliate marketing
are 100% legitimate IF you understand how to do these.
Yes you can be successful at this IF you devote a systematic
approach to generating quality articles and all of your traffic
getting activities.
If you haven't heard of it, one of the most powerful and traditional
traffic generation techniques can be leveraged by using this tried
and tested system you can check out here -

Part 15
Next day
Khushi went to lavanya house
As lavanya opens the door
La: oh khushi come in
After she entered
La: ASR doesn't come with you?
Khushi: no and today we will learn how to cook basic things
La: if ASR is not here then I am not also cooking
Khushi: what does he has to do with it
La: of course what yeh point in learning when I cant show it to anyone
Khushi: tell me one for whom are you doing this for yourself so you can getyour love or for just show off
Lavanya become silent
Khushi: if you are doing this for yourself than you should not care who is looking at you or not and if you do this from your heart than surely you will get your love
La: how do you know so much about love. Do you love someone do you have a boyfriend?
Khushi: yes I have
La: really no one guessed while looking at you that you be this type but anyways who is he
Khushi: why do you care?
La: of course I do and you have to tell me your love story otherwise we are not doing anything
Khushi: ok but after that you will concentrate on your training
La: ok
Khushi: he is my childhood best friend. You know the only friend I have. He is five years older than me
La: what then how do you become friends?
Khushi: we met in a park, we used to come there every day with our mothers but as both of us don't have any friends so I went to him and ask him to become my friend first he refuse but later accept it
La: then
Khushi: because of us our mothers also become good friends. Everything was going great until one night we both lost our parents due to different reasons. My masa masi took me to their house and his nani took him to her house which was in delhi so we parted away
La: what then how do you meet again?
Khushi: after a year I came to delhi for vacation at my buaji house that day I met him in mandir, ten we exchange numbers and used to call each other at night and I also used to come to delhi in every vacation. This continue for 2-4 years
La: then
Khushi: then he told me he is going USA for higher studies. I was very sad knowing this but never told him. He went away for 4-5 years and didn't come back during this period. We used to talk but that only once a week I used to miss him like hell and during that time I realize I have fallen in love with him. You know when he called me and told that he is coming back I was so happy I dance all night
La: and
Khushi: then we met after years and on that very that day he told me that he love me very much and I did the same till then we are together. I study in delhi only because of him and after college ends we used to go to our secret place and spend some time together
La: wow you are lucky he loves you so much
Just then khushi phone rings, arnav was calling
Khushi: hello
Arnav: hi jaan
Khushi: someone is in very romantic mode today
Arnav: what to do when her loved one is not with him
Khushi: I think he should do some work
Arnav: khushi where are you why didn't you come to office today
Khushi: you forgot I m here at lavanya's
Arnav: oh yah so tell me when are you free
Khushi: in 4-5 hours
Arnav: then we are going at lunch
Khushi: ok
Arnav: bye
After that he cuts the call
La: who was it your BF
Khushi: yes as I have told you everything about me you also have to told me everything
La: ok
Precap: reason for la behavior
p.s: I will later add the actual scene in which arnav and khushi realize their love and how they confess it
