The World is Really Run By Secretaries
When I pulled into the spot labeled, Reserved for Mr. Keller, I ended up in the space right next to the back door of he law firm. At the moment I was opening my car door, the efficient Delores Sheppard was opening the dark green rear entrance door. "Welcome, Lieutenant. I must say that you are punctual. Nine o'clock to the second."
"Good morning, Miss Sheppard."
"Mrs. Shepherd, Lieutenant. Widow. I lost my husband in the war."
"My condolences, Mrs. Sheppard."
"Thank you, Mr. MacKenzie. Mr. Brown is involved in the Partners' breakfast agenda meeting. So please follow me."
She guided me through a back hallway that obviously had received no decorator's touch. This was utilitarian space, strictly for the use of the hired help. Then through a non-descript door and voila, we were in the inner offices of Mr. Brown.
"Please, Lieutenant, have a seat. Coffee?"
"Yes, thank you. Just black."
She had set me in one of the two desk chairs facing her secretary's desk, while retreated to what appeared to be a workroom to rustle up the coffee. As she walked away, I could help admiring her shapely derriere shown off by her rather snug fitting suit. She called out from the back room, "Would you like a strawberry Danish, Mr. MacKenzie?"
"No, thank you." And then I finally found the itch. That lovely voice was the voice over the phone that had wanted a meeting at The Olde Corner Bookstore. Mrs. Delores Sheppard was the mysterious Miss No-Show and she was still not showing her cards.
As she returned with two mugs of coffee, I now had the stress of trying to maintain a poker face. She smiled as she handed me a white mug emblazoned with that corporate logo, the elegantly scripted Brown & Keller. "Thank you, Mrs. Sheppard."
"He shouldn't be long."
She opened her desk calendar and busied herself with the stuff of keeping a lawyer on the task of making the money rain. She was one of those thousands of nearly nameless women that I felt never got credit for their worth in American business. As the years have gone by, I have become more and more convinced that the world is really run by secretaries.
"Mrs Sheppard. I may need to see Mr. Brown at his new office. I was wondering if you might write down for me directions as to how to get there."
"Will you be driving or taking the train?"
"Oh, I'm sure I'll be driving."
"It really is not too difficult at all. But I'll leave you the office number down there in case you get lost."
I asked her as she was writing, "Will you be making the move with Mr. Brown?"
She surprised me a bit when she said, "No, Lieutenant. I'll be switching over to work with Mr. Keller. I couldn't bear the thought of leaving old Boston. I've been here all my life, you know. Born over in Cambridge. My father was a history professor at Harvard."
"Really. And you never felt the urge for the academic life," I asked.
I had the sense that she really didn't care for the question but she shook it off with a glib answer. "Sorry to say, I was more interested in dating the boys than in studying the books."
"Ah, same with me. I mean ... except with me, dating the girls."
She grinned, "I was assuming that was what you meant."
"Ah, Lieutenant. I think I hear the Partners' meeting breaking up. He should be right along.
"Thank you."
She gave me a look or two, along with a smile or two, while the traffic in the hallway went back and forth.
"Ah, Mr. Brown. Your nine o'clock is here."
"Lieutenant MacKenzie. I hope this won't take long. I have very tight schedule today. You know, the wheels of justice must be kept turning."
"I shouldn't be very long, Mr. Brown, I simply need to follow up on our last visit."
As I stood and followed Brown into his office, Mrs. Sheppard handed me a note. "Your directions, Lieutenant."
"Oh, yes, thank you, Ma'am."

The most popular female singer of the entire pre-1920 era, Ada Jones was born on June 1, 1873 in Lancashire, England. She did not play an instrument and unable to read music, she learned songs by ear. With her strong contralto voice, Jones showed an early versatility in singing vaudeville sketches, sentimental ballads, rags and Irish songs. However it was her talent for comic songs that would later contribute to her longevity.
Her family moved to Philadelphia Pennsylvania in 1879 and soon after, her mother died. It was Adas fathers new wife, Annie Douglas Maloney, who first encouraged Ada in music, encouraging her into stage appearances. As early as 1882, Little Ada Jones began appearing on the cover of sheet music.
It has been documented that her earliest recordings were brown wax cylinders for Edison Recording Company in approximately 1893, which are among the earliest commercial recordings of a female singing as a solo artists. In the late 1890s Jones developed as a stage performer, specializing in the accompaniment of colored slide projections. However, more than a decade would pass before Ada began recording again in 1904.
By 1905, Jones recording career began in earnest and for a long time she was unique among artists, the only female to record as steadily as her male counterparts. Her first recording of note was My Carolina, which hit the #3 spot on Billboard in May of 1905. The February 1905 issue of Edison Phonograph Monthly stated, "'My Carolina Lady' serve[s] as an introduction to the Phonograph public of another new singer in Miss Ada Jones, who has a charming contralto voice. Miss Jones sings this selection in a style all her own, with a dainty coon dialect and expression, that claim your interested attention at once."
In 1905 the team of Jones and Len Spencer released their first hit song, Me and Mrs. Murphy which would hit #8 on the charts of that year. With the recording one of the eras most popular recording teams was born. Together they had top ten hits with Evry Little Bit Helps, Reuben and Cynthia, Pals, Jimmie and Maggie at the Hippodrome, Courtship of Barney and Eileen, The Golden Wedding, Fritz and Louisa, The Original Cohens, Bashful Henry and His Lovin Lucy, Peaches and Cream, Let Me See You Smile, Jimmie and Maggie at the Ball Game, Down on the Farm, Meet Me Down at the Corner, Herman and Minnie, Youve Got to Love Me A lot, Jimmie and Maggie at the Merry Widow and Return of the Arkenasas Traveler.
Jones also teamed with Billy Murray, allegedly responsible for discovering her in, "I can get away with some pretty high notes, but there were a couple in that song that I couldn't reach on tiptoes...So I told the director about the girl I had heard in the Fourteenth street museum [Huber's] and suggested that she be given a try-out. He told me to bring her around. I did, and she made just as big a hit with everybody else as she did with me...Some one has spread the impression that Ada Jones is in private life Mrs. Billy Murray. We are married but not to each other."
Jones and Murray had their first hit in 1907 with Im Sorry. The team would also record the #1 hits Lets Take an Old-Fashioned Walk (1907), Wouldnt You Like to Have Me for a Sweetheart? (1908), When We are M-A-Double-R-I-E-D (1908), Cuddle Up a Little Closer, Lovey Mine (1908), Shine On, Harvest Moon (1909) and Be My Little Baby Bumble Bee (1912). However due to Murrays contractual restrictions, the duo ceased in 1913.
From 1913 till the end of her career, Jones recorded steadily and teamed with other partners include Henry Burr, Billy Watkins, Will C. Robbins, George Wilton Ballard, George L. Thompson, M.J. O'Connell and Billy Jones. However by 1916, her popularity was in decline. Her career suffered when popular music changed in the World War I era toward the novelty jazz songs.
She eventually re-teamed with Billy Murray in 1917, however the partnership never reclaimed the notoriety it had once celebrated. Their last hit as a duo, When Francis Dances With Me, was recorded in 1921.
While on tour, Ada Jones died of kidney failure in North Carolina on May 2, 1922. She was survived by her husband Hugh Flaherty and one daughter.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
The LLC's operating agreement states that members can access and review accounting files. I've been trying to ask for them but the mgrs won't give them to me or gave me incomplete files. Do I have the rights to sue the managers for breaching the contract (operating agreement)? Some friend told me I can't because of some thing called derivate rights - company needs to sue? Thanks.
You can indeed sue to enforce your personal rights pursuant to the Operating Agreement and California law. The law regarding the pursuit of derivative claims would not apply.
I would hire a lawyer to write a letter to the managers to get the missing documents for you, rather than running off to court and filing a lawsuit.Ask a similar question
My colleague is correct. However, some states also have statutory provisions which require a certain "transparency"...that is, there are statutes in place that may grant you the right to demand to inspect and review corporate documents. California may have such a provision requiring the other members of the LLC to provide the documents and files to you upon written request.

Yes, you can sue to enforce your right to inspection under the operating agreement.
Even if these rights were not granted to you under the operating agreement, they would be conferred upon you under CA Corporations Code section 17106. This section gives LLC members broad rights to inspect and copy certain company records, including books and records for the prior four years.

Indians take second in last home meet
The Manhattan High girls' swimming team saw Centennial League-rival Washburn Rural for the first time in a long time Wednesday.
The teams last matched up in the first meet of the season, one week before spring break in March. Washburn Rural won the Indians' final home meet on Wednesday, leading the four-team field at the Kansas State Natatorium with 465 points, while Manhattan scored 411 for second.
MHS coach Jerry Carpenter said it was beneficial to go up against the Junior Blues.
"We got to see Washburn Rural and they are good," he said. "We are going to have to really put it together to have a chance to take them out — they are deep and talented.
"We saw them early in the season at Emporia and all their kids weren't out yet and we didn't have ours. I think it will come down to the two of us at league."
The Indians started Wednesday's meet with a second-place finish in the 200-yard medley relay from Alana Bucholtz, Lucienne Lange, Makayla Walters and Mariah Scipio. Madison Monaco, Meagan Williams, Keziah McNair and Emma Bartlett teamed to take fifth.
Scipio led the 200 free with a third-place finish, while Sammi Greiger was behind her in 10th and Brittany Jones was 12th. Bucholtz was second in the 200 individual medley, with McNair in fifth and Bussman in seventh.
The 50 free was led by Scipio's second-place finish, while Hannah Funk took fourth and Bartlett finished sixth. The event featured 45 different swimmers from Manhattan, and more than half had personal-best times in the race.
The diving competition was won by Katy Van Nevel's score of 199.30. Samantha Gray was second, while Alyssa Sheff had her best meet of the season to finish third.
Pilar Dritz took third in the 100 fly, while Walters finished fourth. Funk was third in the 100 free, with McNair fourth and Bartlett fifth. Marlee Evans finished fourth in the 500 free, while Katie Dhuyvetter was sixth and Emily Hendrick was seventh.
The 200 free relay was won by the team of Scipio, Funk, Walters and Dritz with a time of 1:48.46. Williams, Emily Cady, Monaco and Sarah McCann teamed to take fifth.
Bucholtz finished first in the 100 back with a personal-best time of 1:05.43. Monaco was fifth and Mary Langemeir was 11th.
Dritz finished fourth in the 100 breast and Lange was in fifth with Katie Bussman in eighth.
Funk, Walters, Bucholtz and Dritz teamed to take second in the 400 free relay, while Bartlett, McNair, Cady and Hanna Hayden took fourth.
Carpenter said he was happy with the way the team raced in what was the last meet for many members on the team, as they hone in on next week's league meet in Topeka.
"A lot of the girls knew this was probably their last meet this season, and we had a lot of those girls step up with significant time drops and there was a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of excitement," he said. "They were having a lot of fun."
Carpenter said the girls who will be focusing on league and their chances at racing at the state meet, will start a cool down in training from here on out.
"The top-end girls that are on the state relays aren't really rested at all yet, they are still a little tired, and they are looking forward to coming down next week," he said.

First Booth Babes at the Gamescom 2009
It's babe time again. From August 19 to August 23, 2009, the Gamescom 2009 takes place in Cologne. As usual many companies brought Booth Babes to advertise their products.
A trade fair like the Gamescom or the E3 is always a worthy opportunity to show off the latest games and products. And usually many companies make us of the attractive force of Booth Babes again. PC Games Hardware is on site at the Gamescom 2009 and delivers first hand information about the games and hardware displayed in Cologne. But of course we also noticed the promotional models and took some pictures for you.
What do you think? Are the ladies of 2009 even more appealing that the Booth Babes of the past years?

Outlook Barclays' chief executive Antony Jenkins last week blamed "legacy issues" for passing on his bonus this year, but had he waited a few days he wouldn't have had to resort to pointing to the sins of the past.
As if the fact that his bank was forced to hurry out its disappointing headline profit figure a day early wasn't enough (thanks to the FT's remarkably accurate preview), the apparent theft of thousands of customers' data ought to have done the trick.
Of course, Ross McEwan at RBS had already said he'd muddle through on his £1m basic when he was appointed so it will now be most interesting to see what happens with Lloyds and Antonio Horta-Osorio (there won't be any such gesture from HSBC). Mr Horta-Osorio's bank might be looking in decent shape for privatisation, but it has plenty of legacy issues of its own. Payment-protection insurance mis-selling is your starter for 10.
However, even if Mr Horta-Osorio does join Messrs Jenkins and McEwan, what you can be sure of is that it won't happen again.
These gestures were never quite what they seemed given all of them held on to the most-lucrative part of their bonus schemes – the long-term incentive plans (L-tips) that pay multiples of base salary and are therefore the biggest component of an executive's package.
The voluntary abandonment (under public pressure) of annual bonuses by chief executives means a large majority of their pay is now linked to long-term performance. L-tips don't pay out for three years at least. If Fidelity, the influential fund manager, gets it way it'll soon be five years before bosses can cash out. So if banking leaders don't think long term they won't get paid.
The EU's bonus cap will change that because it will inevitably shift a substantial proportion of L-tip money back on to these bosses' basic, the Prudential Regulation Authority having ruled that L-tips will be caught by the cap (which limits payouts to 100 per cent of salary – 200 if the shareholders agree).
Banks will almost certainly seek to ignore public pressure and unveil enormous pay rises for their chief executives over the coming year to take account of this. Should they get away with it this will prove to them that they don't have to make any "gestures" over bonuses in future. The annual bonuses attached to the newly fattened salaries might be made deferrable, and subject to clawback. Regulators will probably insist on this. But the damage will have been done.
The Banking Standards Review, headed by Sir Richard Lambert, is launching consultations on the creation of a new, industry-wide standards-setting body designed to improve the industry's rotten performance in this field.
Ironically it will come just as we are preparing to jettison an increasing move of pay into the long term, something which might have prodded banking leaders to focus their attention on long-term standards for the long-term benefit of their institutions and themselves.

Is Joey Galloway the 98 version of a poor man's Cris Carter? If he can stay healthy, Moss, Welker Galloway, and Brady…Maroney, Flat Tire Freddy, ect ect…Super Bowl Homeboy.
gtskyrider says: Mar 14, 2009 3:26 PM
Hope he stays healthy for them…he broke down with the Bucs. If he's healthy, he'll be good for some long bombs!
garyofferdahl says: Mar 14, 2009 3:31 PM
The Patriots roster is getting old and more susceptible took injury than in their glory days.
hesawinner says: Mar 14, 2009 3:32 PM
I knew he wasn't going to Pittsburgh. He's too classy to be a Steeler, plus with NE he can win a ring this year.
NDCowboysfan says: Mar 14, 2009 3:32 PM
wow just when ya think NE is down they make a move like this. As much as i hate the pats, i think its a great move. Joey still has legs and will free up Moss for the Deep ball. They'll blow alot of people out of the water in '09 but can they stop them? time will tell i guess…

Bradybunch says: Mar 14, 2009 3:38 PM
With a good draft (23,34,48,58) the Pats could be in place to finish the job of going 19-0.

Galloway STILL has the speed to get downfield and burn people! Brady to an OPEN Joey Galloway will equal quite a few touchdowns for the Pats.
Slow Joe says: Mar 14, 2009 4:04 PM
Good for him. He was great with the Bucs and I hope he sees some success with the Pats.
One benefit for him will be playing alongside Randy Moss and Wes Welker. That guarantees single coverage for Galloway. Here is Tampa, Joey had double-coverage almost 99% of the time he was on the field. If he any gas left in the tank, he'll be good for some long bombs this year.
(Of course, having said that, when another deep threat–Donte Stallworth–was with the Pats, he barely sniffed the ball. So we'll see.)
db105 says: Mar 14, 2009 4:09 PM
No question the Pats are the best team in the NFL. Doubt they or anyone can do what they did in 07.
SRP says: Mar 14, 2009 4:11 PM
Wow! Obviously some Patriot fans have blinders on. Where exactly does he fit into their offense? Belichik has already said that they're moving away from the spread offense that McDaniels runs towards a more traditional 2 tight end setup. Speaking of which that will certainly put Welker into a different light, now he'll have to be the number 2 WR playing against the opposition's #2 corner rather then the slot running his 3 yard slant against the other team's nickel back.
19-0?!…I'm thinking 8-8 is a lot more likely.
promichael says: Mar 14, 2009 4:16 PM
I think the Patriots are getting older. However if Galloway
can sing mabe Bellichick can use him when singing with Bon

MaineMan says: Mar 14, 2009 4:53 PM
Not to put a damper on things, but you guys DO realize that Galloway (and Springs and Bodden) still have to make the team. They COULD all end up being cut at the end of the pre-season, just like Lynch and Bryant were last year.
Dorchester Frank says: Mar 14, 2009 4:57 PM
I guess he'll get some Just for Men to get rid of that gray in his beard…. Nice trio of Moss, Welker and Galloway. I hope they draft a youngster to bring down the average age of the WR's. Belichick and Floyd Reese are making some interesting moves. Very good, but interesting.
S.I. Pats Fan says: Mar 14, 2009 5:00 PM
Galloway is 37 and caught 13 balls last year. I hope he works out, but I'm not sure this is any reason for fans to celebrate or opponents to despair about.

The Patriots were massively injured during their glory days. Check out the number of starters they used in 2003 and 2004.
toonsterwu says: Mar 14, 2009 5:25 PM
The Patriots are giving themselves a lot of draft flexibility. The secondary additions of Springs and Bodden, along with this move for Galloway and adding Lewis, allows them to wait on a secondary move. I expect that they'll move some of their picks for 2010 picks, if possible, as they have a big FA class coming up after the 09-10 season. They do need to add one rush backer (although I think Jason Taylor lands here).
patspsycho says: Mar 14, 2009 5:35 PM
Florio, the Globe is giving you props for reporting this.
jerseyguy says: Mar 14, 2009 5:37 PM
The reason Stone Hand Stallworth didnt last in New England is because he had nagging hamstring injuries all season but he was there for The Patriots in the playoffs . Joey Golloway is a marvelous but old receiver. i believe he has a good 2 years left in the tank. …now all they need is some outside linebackers,a kick/punt return specialist. and Maybe Sprint NFL Mobile ..if New England realy was done with the spread offense dont you think they would have resigned Heath Evans
Paul R. says: Mar 14, 2009 5:38 PM
Galloway had an injury that limited him last year but was pretty good before that. Don't forget, the Patriots also traded for Greg Lewis, a speedster, from the Eagles. They've also upgraded their defense with the two new corners, Bodden and Springs, and the consensus is that Jason Taylor will join the team. They've got a 1st-round pick and three 2nd-round picks. You can bet they'll trade one or more of them but they'll get some more youth in the linebacker corps.
The fact is, this is the Patriots and Tom Brady will be Tom Brady when they begin play in September. You know he's anxious to get back to it with Moss and Welker. And, now with these others and the upgrades elsewhere, I see the Patriots as being back at the top.
garyofferdahl says: Mar 14, 2009 5:46 PM
"The Patriots were massively injured during their glory days. Check out the number of starters they used in 2003 and 2004."
I agree, I just think their roster is not the most talented and deep in the NFL anymore. I think a few teams have passed them.
jared360 says: Mar 14, 2009 5:48 PM
Um just in case you didn't notice, Greg Lewis was the 6th receiver on the EAGLES roster? But now that hes a Cheatriot, I guess he's all the sudden a "speedster upgrade"?!?…LMAO…if your excited about Lewis, have fun next year…and thanks for the draft pick for someone who was going to be released anyway.
H from F says: Mar 14, 2009 5:59 PM
Galloway still has some gas left in the tank. Not a lot, but enough to get the Pats back in the playoffs.
SeanMartin says: Mar 14, 2009 6:12 PM
Um… Galloway will fill Donte Stallworth's shoes, which he left somewhere in the locker room.
But they won't be his DRIVING shoes.
Too early?

S.I. Pats Fan
Galloway broke two bones in his foot last year.
Rob0729 says: Mar 14, 2009 6:28 PM
"Wow! Obviously some Patriot fans have blinders on. Where exactly does he fit into their offense? Belichik has already said that they're moving away from the spread offense that McDaniels runs towards a more traditional 2 tight end setup."
When did Belichick say that? When does Belichick ever say anything about offensive or defensive strategy in public? Belichick is still making his yearly trip down to Florida to trade ideas with Urban Meyer which tells me that the spread offense is here to stay. The Pats' offense broke tons of records under that offense, it doesn't see logical for the Pats to abandon it just because McDaniels is gone (and Belichick ran it in the past under Weis at least a modified version).
Besides, McDaniels ran quite a bit 2 TE sets for the Pats.
descendency says: Mar 14, 2009 6:39 PM
Joey Galloway could be an impact player. He can catch and has the speed to break away still (according to reports). Can he get off the line? That'll be the important part.
jaxdolfan says: Mar 14, 2009 7:23 PM
"The Patriots were massively injured during their glory days. Check out the number of starters they used in 2003 and 2004."
By the end of the regular season they were on their 9th cameraman.
florio4prez says: Mar 14, 2009 7:30 PM
Thanks, Patsies, for signing Galloway instead of Holt, Furrey or D Bennett. Wow! I was worried there for a while but you guys cam through and signed yet another loser.
I sleep like a baby each night knowing that Tom (formerly) Terrific is just one ill-fated slip/fall or one tissue-shredding hit away from never playing football again. I trust that the beefed-up Jets D will add god-speed to the latter eventuality. The smart money of course is on Bart Scott to do the deed this season.
A career-ending injury notwithstanding, doesn't it usually take until the second season back from ripped knees to perform at that pre-injury level? Just sayin'.
Patsies go 8-8 at best this season, 4-12 if T(f)T's knee blows up again.
BTW, try 1-800-CALL-KC to get your badly needed QB2 back.
SeanMartin says: Mar 14, 2009 8:15 PM
florio4prez, what was your prediction on how the Patriots would do once you saw Tom go down last year? Defeated, right? Or how about 11-5, missing the playoffs because of a tiebreaker, with a QB who hadn't started since high school… not to mention COUNTLESS other injuries. It's one thing to hate a team (hate them with respect). But it's another to hate a team and be so ignorant about it. It's frustrating. Obviously, the true football fans and football appreciatives understand what type of football "fan" you are, but the general-mass-followers of the game do not; and there is no way to convince them that you know little to nothing about the game. That is frustrating.
justintime says: Mar 14, 2009 8:29 PM
Assuming there isn't some sizable signing bonus on this one year deal, it seems like a pretty low risk, high reward situation for both sides, especially if the Pats are spread-happy with Brady back.
But it wouldn't shock me, since the Pats value versatility so much, if they just ended up cutting him towards the end of camp. A fourth receiver who isn't a special-teamer or young draft pick is sort of a long shot in NE, barring injury.
hughjeans says: Mar 14, 2009 10:06 PM
This is what the Pats do. They stock up on "value" FAs to build depth and create competition. Even if they end up cutting Galloway, it just means there's someone better who stuck, and it didn't cost them a lot of money in the long run.
Pantherfan105 says: Mar 14, 2009 11:52 PM
As quiet as this was, this is a huge move. Galloway still has something left in the tank. If he could produce anywhere near where he was before he got injured last year. Pats are sitting very pretty with Moss,Welker,Galloway, Brady, Maroney, Sammy Morris, Fred Taylor, ect, ect.
Pats looking at another packed roster…
Dorchester Frank says: Mar 15, 2009 12:52 AM
Hey jaxdolfan, Will your sister be coming up to Patriots' training camp this year? I hope so.
gosox2673 says: Mar 15, 2009 1:18 AM
Hey florio4prez,
It's pretty funny to hear a Jet's fan is talk smack about another team's QB situation.
cover2blitz0 says: Mar 15, 2009 2:03 AM
and of course the bucs let him go along with hillard in this big youth movement and he along with everyone else let go will be picked up and probably have some quality football left.. im already dreading next seaon for the bucs along with wondering who gets the football when bryant is covered all game long with no other deep threats around
notsosmart says: Mar 15, 2009 4:45 AM
What a joke. I predict one touchdown at best. Galloway will cop an attitude early on but he will not get away with it in New England like he did with the Bucs.
bonecity7 says: Mar 15, 2009 10:39 AM
Some people's memories are so short…….
It's not what Galloway (or Lewis) will do. it's what their speed will require the defense to do that works for the Patriots. Stallworth's presence (sp?) on the field required deep "attention". While he was NOT putting up big numbers, Randy Moss was setting the NFL record for most TD's by a WR in a season.
And to the poster that said that Bellichick "has alreasy said that the Pats were going away from McDaniel's spread offense"..WHAT???
Bellichick won't even tell you what he JUST DID….let alone tell you what HE'S ABOUT TO DO!!!! In addition, is it likely that the Pats would change away from an offense that re-wrote the record book in 2007? I think the poster further suggested that the change in offensive philosophy will put players like Welker in positions that won't feature their strengths!!! Yah, that's what Bellichick usually does……………..
tuscani says: Mar 15, 2009 12:00 PM
Like others have said, there is no guarantee any of these FA signings make the team, but speed kills. Spread the defense out and watch Taylor rip up the yards on his 10 carries a game. Without Maroney, the Pats were in the upper end of the league in rushing last year. Though, I don't expect Maroney to do much of anything this year, I have written him off as a bust.
CaptainFantastik says: Mar 15, 2009 6:41 PM
"Atta boy, Joey. Way to not join the classless prick association in Shittsburgh."
The Steelers don't need Stallworth to smack the Ravens' sorry asses around. How's it feel knowing that the Ravens will always be inferior to the Steelers in every way imaginable?
SeanMartin says: Mar 15, 2009 8:36 PM
footballnut says: Mar 16, 2009 11:45 AM
A Jets fan should not be making fun of any team's QB…Do the Jets even have a QB at all?
And to those saying the Pats will go away from the spread don't know what the Pats are about…Defenses like the Ravens, Steelers, etc. can only be attacked with a spread offense. These are the teams that the Pats will eventually need to get through if they are to get back at the top.
BB knows what he is doing.

Beauty sleep is a real thing: Your skin repairs itself and recovers while you snooze, leading to a healthier and more vibrant appearance. At Lunya, we take our beauty sleep seriously and designed our own proprietary technical fabric called Meneya™ that helps regulate and improve your sleep.
Meneya™ is made from Celliant® and Supima cotton so it combines function with the softness and breathability of a natural fiber. Celliant® is a technical fiber that uses infrared energy to stimulate cell performance and to increase circulation*. In clinical studies, Celliant® was found to increase oxygen levels in the body by 7% in a healthy population. Higher oxygen levels are good for your beauty routine, and for your health: cells grow stronger, injuries heal quicker, your endurance increases and areas of pain are minimized.
Celliant® has also been clinically proven to help your body maintain an ideal temperature, resulting in a more restful and deeper sleep. When Celliant® was used in bedding, subjects fell asleep 15 minutes faster on average and 50% of the participants reported a noticeable improvement in the overall quality of their sleep. Studies also showed that pain patients who slept in Celliant® garments experienced much lower levels of pain.
Our new Meneya™ collection offers optimal functionality, ease, and design because we paired Celliant® with the comfort and breathability of our luxurious natural Pima cotton and a touch of Lycra™ for fit and fabric recovery. Even better, our Meneya™ sleepwear doesn't require special care or laundering. Celliant®'s patented technology is embedded into the core fibers of the fabric so that it cannot wash or wear out. The technology is not based on a coating or an application, so the benefits of Celliant® technology last the life of the fiber and the products do not require special care.
What difference could improved sleep make for your life? Quite a big difference, actually. The gap between getting just enough sleep and getting too little sleep affects your health, weight, and even your sex life.
Beauty sleep is always a great thing, and by giving your cells a chance to breathe in our Meneya™ collection you can improve your sleep and all aspects of your life: mood, energy, and performance. A good night's sleep even makes you happier by regulating hormone levels in your body! By making a simple, yet thoughtful choice and sleeping in our Meneya™ collection you can boost your overall health, without any added effort.
Celliant® Stats:
- Increases oxygen levels in the body by up to 24%
- Improves overall quality of sleep
- Promotes cell growth that aids in healing injuries
- Reduces pain by optimizing blood flow
- Does not wear out with washing, or require special care
* Based on four double blind placebo controlled clinical studies conducted in the USA.
* Based on a study conducted by Dr. Marcel Hungs at the university of California, Irvine.
* Celliant technology has been tested and proven in five U.S. based clinical studies. Additional information on each study can be viewed here.

Photojournalist Ken Thompkins was there."I'm Kevin Tenggren.

I'm the production assistant. It's exciting to me, it was sad to see it burn, but this part here is exciting. This is starting anew, a new building and a new phase of the lincoln news.""Chris Debeck in sports, editor Slash, well, let's just say sports editor cause there's too many other Slashes. Obviously, we're still in the news as well as covering the news a little bit as we, you know, as the old place goes down, but just getting pictures obviously for next week, but also just kind of looking on as a bit of our history finally goes down, I guess.""I'm sad cause I'm looking into and seeing all kinds of you know, pieces of paper, you know, that I once hung onto it. It saddens me a little bit because you know, the history of the place and we're losing that but at the same time, it's a new beginning, I guess, you can say, a chance for us to start fresh and start creating a new history, if you will.""Everybody's been buying the paper so it's helping us to rebuild and we really appreciate their help.

Physicians for Human RightsThrough evidence, change is possible.
Press Room
Abolish Solitary Confinement in Immigration and National Security Facilities
Thousands of people awaiting immigration hearings in the US detention system are routinely held in solitary confinement, which can cause serious and lasting psychological and physiological harm, PHR says in a new report.
President Obama's State of the Union Message Should Reestablish US as Human Rights Leader
PHR strongly urges President Obama to take the opportunity of tonight's State of the Union address to lay out his human rights agenda. He should explain how he will uphold these core human rights values of the United States and insure that his policies will extend beyond his administration, so that the US once again becomes a beacon for human rights around the world.
Findings of Newly Adopted Report on US Interrogation Should Be Made Public
PHR applauds today's decision by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to adopt a report documenting its three-year investigation of CIA interrogation practices—and calls on the committee to submit it for declassification review so that the public learns the report's key findings.
Human Rights Groups Oppose The Feinstein Amendment Of NDAA
A coalition of human rights, religious, civil liberties and immigration rights groups, including Physicians for Human Rights, voiced their opposition to Amendment 3018 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in a letter sent today to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California).
The Role of Health Professionals in Detainee Interrogation
In the aftermath of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the issue of torture has attracted the attention of the media, health organizations, and political activists. This year, State Senator Thomas Duane and Assembly Member Richard Gottfried sponsored a unique piece of legislation, which is publicly endorsed by the former president of Physicians for Human Rights, that establishes sanctions for state-licensed health professionals who participate in torture or improper treatment of prisoners.

Trading sentiments turned bearish after gold declined in global markets, as some investors sold the precious metal after concerns about European debt, fighting in Libya and Japan's nuclear crisis pushed prices to a record.
In global markets, gold fell by USD 9.50, or 0.65 per cent, to USD 1453.70 an ounce and silver also lost 0.27 per cent to USD 40.11 an ounce.
On the domestic front, silver ready tumbled by Rs 1,200 to Rs 60,500 per kg. It had climbed to all-time high level of Rs 61,700 per kg in the previous trade.
Silver weekly-based delivery followed suit and plunged by Rs 1,250 to Rs 59,660 per kg. Silver coins remained steady at Rs 66,500 for buying and Rs 67,000 for selling of 100 pieces in reduced offtake at existing higher levels.
In line with a general weakening trend, gold of 99.9 and 99.5 per cent purity fell by Rs 110 each to Rs 21,430 and Rs 21,310 per 10 grams, respectively. Sovereigns, however, continued to be asked around previous levels of Rs 17,700 per piece of eight grams in limited deals.

Do you want the good news first or the bad news? The good news is that the summer of 2012 broke all the box office records that make studio executives feel their sap is on the rise. The Hunger Games gave them the "strongest opening weekend total for a spring release", while Joss Whedon's The Avengers smashed Harry Potter's record to become the biggest box office opening of all time." Seth McFarlane's Ted enjoyed "the best opening ever — $54m — by an R-rated original comedy", while The Dark Knight Rises, undented by the Aurora murders, provided not only "third- highest domestic bow ever, and the best opening for a 2D film" but "the biggest opening day of the year in France, where it grossed $2.7 million including previews." Vive la difference! Our studio executive can head out of his Malibu condo in the morning with a smile to match the gleam on his Porsche.
If any of these records sound to you a little like Most Notes Played by a Left-Handed Tuba-Player While Unicycling Down Fifth Avenue, then you are not alone. Keeping track of "the numbers" is one of Hollywood's darker arts. The number of films advertising themselves as "the No 1 film in America" this year equals exactly 33, almost exactly the number of weeks there have been in the year — a No 1 for everyone! — while the definition of "opening weekend" has crept back to include Thursday, and even Wednesday night midnight screenings, thus swelling the weekend tally further. Some studios go to even more necromantic lengths, as Paramount did in 1994 when it discovered an extra $34,000 in some "missing theatres" to edge out The Lion King as box office champ, only for those missing theatres to turn up on "Melrose and Glower," the address of the Paramount studio lot.
Most importantly, none of those broken records take any account of inflation. The news media's fuss over them is roughly equivalent to someone saying: "Wow! The price of milk just went up! What a time to be a dairy farmer! Those guys must be raking it in!" Well, yes, but the price of farmland has gone up, too. And hay. And cow insemination. Hollywood prefers to ignore inflation the same way stars like to ignore the effects of aging, because it presents them with a list of all-time box office hits as fresh as newly-mown grass. Here's how it looks:
1. Avatar (Fox) $760,507,625
2. Titanic (Paramount) $658,672,302
3. Marvel's The Avengers (Disney) $617,814,000
4. The Dark Knight (Warner Bros) $533,345,358
5. Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (Fox) $474,544,677
6. Star Wars (Fox) $460,998,007
7. Shrek 2 (DreamWorks) $441,226,247
8. ET: The Extra-Terrestrial (Universal) $435,110,554
9. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (Disney) $423,315,812
10.The Lion King (Disney) $422,783,777
Adjust those figures for inflation, however, and it's a very different picture.
1. Gone with the Wind (MGM) $1,620,397,900
2. Star Wars (Fox) $1,428,519,200
3. The Sound of Music (Fox) $1,142,171,300
4. ET: The Extra-Terrestrial (Universal) $1,137,671,800
5. Titanic (Paramount) $1,087,949,000
6. The Ten Commandments (Paramount) $1,050,620,000
7. Jaws (Universal) $1,027,192,100
8. Doctor Zhivago (MGM) $995,566,400
9. The Exorcist (Warner Bros) $887,005,300
10. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (Disney) $874,180,000
Where is The Avengers? Way down at No 27, having just edged out Thunderball, but unable to quite close the distance on Grease. Here, then, is the bad news: for all these broken records, most of the gains of the past decade have come from higher ticket prices — in particular those jacked up by 3D — not more people seeing movies. Last year, a report by Goldman Sachs analysts Drew Borst and Fred Krom estimated that 1.28bn people headed to the multiplex in 2011 — a 25-year-low almost matching that of 1995, when Hollywood wowed us with such box-office kryptonite as Waterworld, Batman Forever and Showgirls.
The reasons are the same ones that have been draining cinema audiences since the 1950s: improved home entertainment, better gadgetry and an ever-shrinking theatrical-release window. On average, movie theaters only use about 15% of their total capacity these days, while younger audiences have plummeted 40% since 2002, prompting some to comment that "the golden age of the silver screen may be coming to a close."
Maybe. The film industry has been "dying" for as long as it has drawn breath. On the plus side, big-screen provider Imax has doubled their screen numbers since 2009 and expect to do the same again by 2015 — so expect the summer blockbusters to bust up even more of the block. And what is quaintly known as the "specialty box office" — films that do not feature men with superpowers wearing spandex, aka "what used to be called the American film industry" — has been going great guns this year. If you want to talk about box office records, how about these: over Memorial Day weekend, Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom grossed $669,486 in just four theatres — the highest ever for a non-animated film. And in June, Beasts Of The Southern Wild, a magic-realist first-time feature set in the Louisiana Bayou with no stars took in a "ferocious" $42,309 in four theaters, according to Deadline Hollywood, whose tracking of specialty box-office is one of the more reliable guides to the awards season, now almost upon us.
So in the months to come expect some love for Moonrise Kingdom and Beasts of the Southern Wild; also The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel — "The Avengers for grown ups" — which passed the $100m back in May. Although for sheer profitability no-one can touch the year's biggest success story, a film made for just $7m which took $39m in its first three days, en route to a tally of $113.5m, making it the most profitable movie of the year so far. Step forward, Magic Mike, Steven Soderbergh's film based on Channing Tatum's time as a male stripper. Traditional thinking suggests the Academy won't go near a film featuring Matthew McConaughey gyrating his leather-clad hips over the laps of screaming Floridians like a Mr Whippee dispenser. "The laauw says you can look but you cannot tuurch," he says in his inimitable Texan drawl. But then he adds: "I see a lotta laaauw-breakers out there."

On Corporate Power | Private Philanthropy Vs Public Education
Michael Barker explores the leading role played by private philanthropic foundations in the accelerating corporatisation of public education. Unless this relationship is understood and its impact resisted, he warns, we could be seeing the end of public education as we know it, with disastrous consequences.

Jessie pt.2Mature
Willow blinked up at the dark orange ceiling before stretching out fully, only to sink deeper in serenity. "You awake yet?" Jessie murmured close by, Willow lazily turned her head to the left, bringing Jessie into view who was also buried beneath a blanket, "You've been out for nearly three hours now." Willow brought her left arm out from underneath the blanket to look at her watch only to find no watch on her wrist. Still half asleep, she kept her arm suspended above her head with a dazed look across her face. "You weren't wearing a watch." Jessie told her through a yawn, "Its quarter to nine though." she added, after taking a look at her own watch.
Willow bolted up right and swung her legs off the sofa in one movement to stand up except her body could not keep up with what her brain wanted her to do and Willow ended up falling back onto the chair. All the while complaining about having to call her roommate and let her know where she was and then complaining about her phone being out of credit after she had dug it out of her jacket pocket. Jessie just watched her friend panic with a bemused expression and pointed out that Willow could use her phone. Jessie however, refused to let Willow walk home by herself at that time of night. Willow, knowing that it still hurt Jessie to move, refused to let her escort her home and then make a return journey.
Neither of them saw any point in paying for a taxi after Jessie suggested she might as well make it easier on everyone and stay the night, which prompted another phone call to the roommate and once she was done with her mad dashing around, Willow collapsed back onto the sofa. Jessie couldn't help but giggle at her, "You'll need to go back to sleep to regain all that wasted energy now." Willow just threw her a look and settled herself further into the sofa. "I am curious as to why you came over here anyway." Jessie added once it was clear Willow was comfortable enough.
Willow's mouth opened to reply except no sound was made. Lines formed across Willow's forehead as she frowned, the answer evading her thoughts. In one fluid motion Jessie leaned into Willow, their noses barely touching. Willow's heart hammered against her chest she was half surprised that Jessie couldn't hear it and she struggled to keep control of her breathing. Jessie's hazel eyes seemed to piece her very soul and she was very aware of Jessie shifting closer to her. A fire, a bright burning fire danced into life across her very skin just as Jessie lightly pressed the back of her finger against Willow's chin, closing Willow's mouth which was still left hanging open.
It seemed to take a lifetime for Jessie to complete that movement and in a matter of seconds; she was sidestepping along the narrow gap between the two sofas, asking if Willow wanted some hot chocolate. Willow could only nod in response. Her mouth was parched, her muscles felt like jelly and she could still feel Jessie's finger on her skin, she tried to wipe it away with a shaking hand except she ended up touching her chin where Jessie's finger had been. Willow was glad that her breathing had returned to normal by the time Jessie returned and she held two steaming mugs of hot chocolate; she passed one of them to Willow.
"Why do you have these so close together anyway? You can barely get between them as it is." Willow asked as Jessie entered the room, accepting the mug. Jessie handed her own mug to Willow as well then moved behind the sofa she had been on, "For this very simple reason. Lift you feet up." No sooner had she swung her legs clear of the gap, Jessie shoved the sofa forwards until the two sofas were touching.
"Jess! You should have let me do that, you'll hurt yourself more!" Willow cried out and made to jump to her feet except her brain reminded her that she was still holding two very hot cups of coco and was able to not spill a drop though she had failed to help Jessie move the heavy sofa.
"Its fine, it's not so bad, just stiffness really. Anyway, most of my free time I spend reading and writing in this room, as you can see." She gestured to the piles of books and sheets of paper flung everywhere, "Most of the time i will just crash down here so putting the two together just gives me more sleeping room."
Jessie climbed onto the leather sofas and sat down beside Willow, mugs were exchanged and the two snuggled up under the thick fluffy blanket, sinking deeper into relaxation. "I knew you liked to read and write but i had no idea it was more of an obsession than a hobby." Jessie just threw her a look whilst playfully slapping Willow's shoulder. That was all that was needed to set the two off, Willow harassed Jessie nonstop about being allowed to read some of her stories to them recounting the last few weeks, while Willow had been plotting her way to Daniel, Jessie had nothing to do but rest and recover from her fall down the stairs.
It was three in the morning by the time the two actually settled down beside each other to get some sleep. They said goodnight and Willow twisted round so her back was facing Jessie, who quickly made a comment about Willow getting nightmares if she fell asleep looking at her. Glancing back over her shoulder to look at Jessie, "Oh ha ha. I prefer to sleep on my left side, always have done." The was silence between them both, Willow scowled and glanced back at Jessie, her eyes were shut. "I come all the way over here and you don't even give me a goodnight hug." She complained, knowing very well that she wasn't asleep.
Her eyes still closed, Jessie responded after some time "I said goodnight, isn't that enough?" she moaned into the space between them. "Well, if that's the gratitude I -" Willow began except she was caught off guard by Jessie wrapping her arms around Willow and pulling her close into her body, "There, happy now?" Jessie asked, squeezing her arms tighter around Willow's waist, emphasizing the hug.
Willow desperately wanted her breathing to return back to normal, with her arms wrapped around her, Jessie was sure to notice and feel Willow's heart beating ten times faster than its normal rate. Willow's eyes were screwed shut as she focussed on regaining control of her breathing. Every one of her defences was screaming at her to jump up, to put as much distance as she could between her and Jessie while a single, very calm and peaceful voice was quietly telling her to just relax, that'd she'd never feel more peaceful if she just let go of it all.
"You alright Will? You're shaking..." Jessie murmured, removing her right arm from around Willow's waist to pull the blanket closer around them both then burring her arm under the blanket, she replaced it back around Willow. It was only then that Willow realised every muscle in her entire body was tightened to the point that the tension was causing her to shake. A strong warmth crept through her body, slowly melting away the tension, gently sweeping aside her defences and all Willow could do was allow herself to drift along with it as Jessie's body heat oozed deep into her. Willow could feel Jessie shift her head closer to her, the hairs on the back of her neck tingled as Jessie's hot breath seeped into her exposed skin.
Jessie shifted once more, this time lifting up her head and leaned in over Willow, brushing her soft lips against her cheek. The kiss lasted for the briefest of moments but long enough to freeze Willow's heart. Any remaining defence she had left was shattered instantly. It was all too clear now...it had been clear from the start, why she hadn't accepted there and then was a mystery, it was too easy...just so natural...she never stood a chance at hiding from it...
Jessie pulled away. Willow turned to look at her. Jessie held her gaze, her hazel eyes were burning, shining with hunger in the darkened room. Willow's arms ached to be wrapped around Jessie and she was consumed by the desire to be closer, to have nothing between her and Jessie. "...Will...if you d-" Jessie's voice was laboured, she had been using a lot of her energy on controlling her breathing but before she could get another sound out, Willow reached up, her mouth locking onto Jessie's, her lips and tongue were warm as she welcomed the kiss and she matched Willow's passion equally.
They pulled apart reluctantly, both gasping for air, Willow twisted round to face Jessie, who pulled her in closer, their bodies pressed against each other and Jessie wrapped her leg around Willow's. The gap between them was becoming too much to stand again so Willow reached up and guided Jessie to her, the kisses were soft and longer, Willow sucked on Jessie's bottom lip, drawing her deeper into her mouth while Jessie fingers fumbled with the bottom of Willow's t-shirt, teasingly finding their way underneath to dance lightly across her skin, sending waves of tingling pleasure coursing through Willow's body from her stomach.
Her head was becoming heavy, she was already shattered from staying up so late and she was too relaxed that she was fighting a losing battle against sleep for her new found desire to have Jessie. Obviously aware of how tired Willow actually was, Jessie slowed down until her kisses became light pecks upon Willows forehead as she swiftly drifted off.

Nice History check… You gain 50 XP
While there are all sorts of legends about statues coming to life, including golems and gargoyles, the Talking Statues of Rome don't count. Yes, they are a real thing. No they don't actually talk.
See, back around the 15th Century, the Catholic Pope gained direct control over the Roman government. The thing was, this opened the Pope to critcism. See, you couldn't criticize the Pope as Pope because he was the Pope. He had the authority of, well, God, backing him. But as a government official, he was just a fallable dude. So, the Pope's government policies were often criticized. But, the thing was, it was still not a great idea to go around making fun the spiritual and political king of the city. So, people got into the habit of positing little, critical poems tacked to various statues around the city. This actually grew out of a poetry contest that the Cardinal Oliviero Carafa held every year. People would leave their poems tacked to the statue of Pasquino. But soon thereafter, people started tacking poems to the statue outside of the contest. And to other statues. One of the earliest poems was:
Da quando è Niccolò papa e assassino,
abbonda a Roma il sangue e scarso è il vino.
Basically: Ever since Nicholas became pope and killer, blood is abundant in Rome and wine is scarce.
Snappy, huh?
