Author's Note: This story was rattling around in my mind at the same time I was writing "Longing," and finally sprang to full form on the drive to and from work yesterday. It is set in the same alternate universe as "Longing". Kudos to anyone who recognizes the inspiration behind Kratos and the cake scene.
Eighteen years before Colette Brunel accepted the Oracle
"This ... this ... this..."
If it wasn't for the fact that he could hear his companion's stuttering behind him, Kratos would had been halfway across the city of Palmacosta before he realized that Anna was no longer beside him. He glanced over his shoulder to see her rooted in place, her brown eyes wide with shock as she took in the buildings around her.
"You grew up in Luin, did you not?" he inquired.
"Yes ... But this is Palmacosta," Anna said, speaking with reverence. "It's the largest city in Sylvarant. Any advancement in technology, education, and fashion ... it all comes from here. I never imagined ... you said we were coming here, but I didn't think..."
Her rambling was cut off as a courier slammed into her, nearly knocking her to the ground. With a rushed apology, he hurried down the street with a package in his arms. Anna regained her balance and muttered beneath her breath about people needing to watch where they were going.
"You need to pay more attention," Kratos scolded, walking back to her. "It's easy to get separated here."
"Yes, yes, I hear you." Anna squared her shoulders and eyed him. "Are you sure you don't want to tie a leash on me since you're not all that fond of me going more than two feet away from you?"
He almost smiled. It wasn't the first time in their odd relationship that she had made the sarcastic invitation. "I think we can maintain our current situation for now."
"Good." Anna strode by him, hungry eyes taking in the sights once more.
Kratos shook his head and followed. He normally didn't think much of the city. After all, he had been there when Palmacosta was founded. Personally, he rather favored the Tethe'alla city of Sybak and its learning centers. It would most certainly have the knowledge that they were looking for, with better sources than what Sylvarant currently possessed. But, going to Tethe'alla was out of the question at the moment.
He could still see her in the crowd. Anna Irving, a girl just barely into womanhood. She was rail thin thanks to spending roughly four years at the Asgard Ranch. Long, messy brown curls tumbled down her back, tied back with a leather thong she had nicked from his supplies. The top of her head didn't even brush his chin. But, she was smart and stubborn - both qualities that ensured her survival under Kvar's rule and turned her into Project A012 - the 12th person selected to be part of the Angelus Project ... and the only one thus far who hadn't died.
Kratos planned to keep it that way.
She was now two buildings away, her face nearly plastered against a glass window. As he got closer, he could see it was a bakery. A display of three large cakes, coated with a thick layer of frosting took up most of the prime window space. Smaller cakes, decorated just as lavishly as the larger ones, were nestled between and in front of their bigger siblings.
"Look at the cakes," Anna breathed, and he could hear the longing in her voice. "My mother used to make me a huge chocolate cake for my birthday. She would let me lick both the frosting bowl and the batter bowl and I was usually so sick to my stomach that I couldn't even eat a piece of the actual cake until the next day." She frowned, tilted her head to the side. "It's been so long since I've seen a calendar. I wonder what day it is?"
Kratos peered through the window, spotted a calendar hanging from the wall behind the register. He nodded toward it. "You could ask."
It was Anna's 16th birthday.
That little fact tugged at the back of Kratos's mind as they got settled into an inn close to the Palmacosta Academy. Upon hearing what day it was, Anna had grown disturbingly quiet. She'd thanked the baker and silently followed Kratos to the inn. He'd grown so used to her chatter that having her be so quiet was a disturbing anomaly. He didn't quite know what to do about it. He knew she was thinking about her family, of the milestone she had reached in her life. Sixteen was the age most people in Sylvarant were considered adults.
He had stopped measuring birthdays long ago, and wasn't even quite sure where his fell within the current calendar. But, even he remembered the thrill that was associated with coming of age. That had been right before the Great Kharlan War, before his own life had changed.
He wanted to tell Anna that at least she wasn't at the ranch for her birthday. But, did that really make things that much better? She wasn't at the ranch, but she was still a prisoner. She was on the run from Kvar and had a slowly mutating exsphere embedded in her chest. Her family, from what he gathered, was gone. There was no one to wish her a happy birthday, to congratulate her and wish her well. And, really, was he the best one suited for such a thing? He knew all too well the cruelties associated with being an adult.
The silence between them stretched. Anna hunted through his bag, pulling out a book on basic mana properties that she'd been studying in their spare time. Moving almost mechanically, Kratos followed suit. He had a mission after all.
But that silly little fact kept floating through his mind. Kratos narrowed his eyes and tried to force his conscience into submission.
You're the only one she has left you know.
He growled beneath his breath. Anna peered at him over the edge of her book. "Problems?" she asked.
"No," he bit out. "Why?"
"Your book's upside down."
It was. With a muttered oath, Kratos tossed the book onto the table. "I'm going out. Stay here." And with that, he stormed out of the room.
Kratos couldn't remember the last time he'd made the effort to celebrate someone's birthday. The only one that seemed to be remembered in Welgaia's was Martel's. That was an annual event that, despite his affection for his long-gone friend, both he and Yuan did everything that they could to be elsewhere for. As time went by, the ritual had gotten more and more creepy. In the years they were roped into attending, they spent a few hours afterwards indulging in the finest spirits imported from the flourishing world.
The first part was easy. Within minutes, Kratos had gone back to the bakery and secured one of the smaller cakes for Anna. He felt somewhat embarrassed, standing on the stoop of the bakery staring at the crowded street with a white box in his hand as he eyed his enemy - people. Whereas there hadn't been many people out there before, the streets suddenly seemed filled with potential catalysts that could cause a calamity with the cake. He glowered at all of them, and then mentally shook himself. Anna, he decided, was driving him up the wall and she wasn't even there.
He slowly made his way back to the inn, stopping long enough at the general store to gauge the prices on supplies - a very sensible thing to do. It most certainly wasn't because he'd spotted a group of school kids barreling down the street toward him, and he'd ducked in the nearest shop to avoid a possible catastrophe. That wasn't the reason at all.
As Kratos scanned the store, making a mental list of what they needed, his gaze fell on a mannequin displaying a woman's dress. He thought of the makeshift clothing he'd procured for Anna after their escape from the ranch. It was sufficient, but much too big for her. She often looked like a child playing dress-up in an adult's clothes. Okay, they were really a shirt and a pair of pants that belonged to Yuan that Kratos nicked not long before he broke Anna out of the Asgard Ranch. Still ... maybe it wouldn't hurt for Anna to get some normal clothing. Maybe she would like a dress ... or something like that. Not because he was vaguely intrigued about what she would look like in a proper dress, not the rags that passed for one at the Asgard Ranch.
"Sir, could I help you?"
His heart lurched in surprise, but Kratos calmly faced the shop owner. "I'm just looking."
"I see." The man's eyes slid over to the dress. "Are you considering for something for your wife?"
He was not blushing. There was simply no cause for him to blush. "No, thank you," Kratos replied and quickly fled the shop. He'd just send Anna on for her own things later.
Anna finished her chapter and set the book aside with a sigh. Noishe had disappeared not long before they entered Palmacosta, but he tended to avoid the few towns they'd been in anyhow. She tilted back in her chair and studied the clock on the wall. It was nearly dark, her stomach was growling and Kratos had all their money. She rummaged through their supply pack, but couldn't bring herself to unwrap one of the field rations that they carried. No, they were in a city, and she wanted a real meal.
She folded her hands over her stomach and closed her eyes. She was trying not to cry, she really was. She'd shed enough tears in the past four years for the loss of her family. It wasn't like she'd celebrated her birthday since she turned 12 to begin with. Tears trickled down her cheeks and she didn't bother to brush them away. Once they started, she couldn't quite get them to stop. She managed to move to one of the beds, to grab a pillow and hug it tightly as she tried to recall her father's voice and her mother's perfume. But, they were memories that were fading fast, thanks to the passage of time. She missed having her parents hold her when she was sad or hurt. There hadn't been anyone to comfort her in a long time.
She didn't notice when the door opened, when Kratos set the bakery box on the table and proceeded to stare at her with something akin to shock. He'd never seen her cry before.
He wasn't quite sure what to do. She looked so lost, hunched over the thin pillow as she rocked back and forth. This was a far cry from the girl who had dumped a filled chamber pot over his head the first time they'd met, who'd cheekily told him that she'd use a hairpin and matches to free herself from the Asgard Ranch ... if only he would supply the hairpin. This wasn't the awestruck woman who'd initially taken in Palmacosta and who hunted through his bags looking for books to read. Anna and tears ... something about that wasn't quite right, and he just wanted to make them stop. Really, dealing with crying women wasn't near the top of Kratos's list of expert skills. Yuan and Mithos had handled that sort of thing with Martel.
He put the box on the table and sat next to Anna. He had quite good instincts, he thought, and it was time to go with those. He reached out, hesitantly wrapped an arm around her. He expected her to lean his head against him, but he didn't expect her to suddenly throw her arms around his neck and suddenly cling to him like he was the only person left in the world. He stiffened with shock, but then his arms found their way around her and he held her close.
It'd been a long time since he'd had this sort of contact with someone else. He thought it would feel odd, but it actually felt pretty good. A warm feeling of contentment settled in his chest and he found his arms tightening slightly. Anna might be missing her family, but she wasn't alone any longer. And, he was going to tell her that just as soon as she stopped using him for a handkerchief.
After minutes, the storm passed and Anna pulled back. She blinked, noticed who was hugging her, then blinked again. "You're hugging me," she informed Kratos.
"I'm aware of that."
"By your own volition?"
"Do you see puppet strings dangling from me?"
Anna suddenly grinned. "No, but that sounds like an excellent idea."
"Don't even try it." Kratos broke the embrace and glanced away, ignoring the odd fluttering in his stomach. His gaze landed on the bakery box. Cake. Yes, there was cake. He grabbed the box and handed it to her. "You said you normally celebrate your birthday with cake."
"You didn't!" Anna lifted the top of the box and her eyes went wide with shock at the small chocolate cake within. "You did! I didn't think ... Thank you!" And with that, she hastily set the box aside, threw her arms around his neck once more and kissed his cheek before grabbing the cake box and carrying it to the table.
He stared after her, heart pounding as she rooted through the supply bag for plates and utensils. She kissed me... She hadn't even done that when they escaped the ranch. He hesitantly touched his cheek, and then dropped his hand.
At that moment, everything changed for Kratos Aurion. It'd been germinating for years. It was a seed planted when he discovered about Mithos's plans for the Age of Lifeless Beings, when he internally decided to search for a way for a human to wield the Eternal Sword. It germinated as he was instructed to see to the process of Kvar's Angelus Project and he met a very stubborn young woman who was the current host. It grew as he made the decision to rescue her, to find a dwarf to create a Key Crest for her and to continue his own research into the Eternal Sword. And, now, he'd realized that he was completely done for. After years of enduring loyalty to Cruxis, he'd fully remembered what it was truly like to be human.
That included falling in love.
"Here, I've split it in two. Does Noishe like chocolate? Well, it's not like he's here anyhow. Just where is he?" Anna chattered away as she cut the cake and put each piece on its own plate. She picked up the plates and noticed Kratos staring at her. "What? You don't like chocolate? Okay, that's fine. I'll eat it!"
"I like chocolate just fine." Kratos grabbed the plate before Anna could help herself. "We probably should have dinner first."
"Life's short. Dessert first," Anna quipped and dug enthusiastically into her own piece.
Kratos chuckled and Anna winged an eyebrow at him. "You're laughing."
"I'm allowed to laugh," he responded before sampling the cake. It really was quite good.
"But, I never heard you laugh. Therefore, I'm not sure if you really do laugh or if that's not in the range of emotions allowed to you by the Desians." Anna licked her fork clean between each bite.
"Maybe I just didn't have a reason to laugh before." Something about the way he said it caused Anna to glance up at him. It took everything in her not to drop her fork at the intensity of the look her was giving her. They stared at each other and her mouth went dry as something jolted through her. She licked her lips and tried to remember how to breathe. The world moved in slow motion as he set his plate aside and stood. Her eyes followed him as he walked around the table and stared down at her, as if he was weighing some sort of monumental decision in his mind. She saw the moment he made his choice and before she could decipher what it was, he bent over and brushed his lips against hers.
The kiss was soft, nearly hesitant. She wasn't quite sure how to react except to try to mimic what he was doing. Her hands found their way around his neck for the third time that day, fingers digging into his hair as she parted her lips and allowed him to deepen the kiss. Then, he pulled away, brushing his thumb over her cheek. "Happy birthday," he murmured.
It was, Anna decided at that moment, the best present she'd ever received.

Not an ideal family
Holly felt slightly apprehensive as she walked out of theNew Yorkairport. She hailed a cab, and gave him the Callahans' address. She did not feel so right about coming all the way fromBostonnow. Her parents' decision to go globetrotting for eight months for their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary had completely shocked her. Though she was the one who had originally suggested it, she had not expected her parents to approve of the idea.
Her father, Richard Monaghan, was an overworked corporate lawyer who didn't have time to budge from his desk. Her mother, Sarah, was a patient of depression, and rarely ever went out of the house. Her older sister Susannah took care of her until she got married a couple of years ago, and shifted toCalgary,Canada. Ever since then, Holly had been managing the house. No one exactly knew what had happened to her half-brother, because after going toEnglandfor studying, he had never once contacted his family. The basic plan was that Holly would stay with the Callahans for a few weeks until Suze and Jason moved New York City- Jason's impending transfer had prevented her from moving toCalgarystraightaway.
She sighed heavily as she looked out of the cab window. She was still surprised that Mrs. Callahan had so readily accepted her request to stay at their house. She wondered if Jeannie had pestered her to agree. Because of that, here she was forced to move into a city she had never been to in her entire life.
'Goddammit, why me?' she cursed in her mind.

Roman Religion

November 2014
BeschreibungExamining sites that are familiar to many modern tourists, Valerie Warrior avoids imposing a modern perspective on the topic by using the testimony of the ancient Romans to describe traditional Roman religion. The ancient testimony recreates the social and historical contexts in which Roman religion was practised. It shows, for example, how, when confronted with a foreign cult, official traditional religion accepted the new cult with suitable modifications. Basic difficulties, however, arose with regard to the monotheism of the Jews and Christianity. Carefully integrated with the text are visual representations of divination, prayer, and sacrifice as depicted on monuments, coins, and inscriptions from public buildings and homes throughout the Roman world. Also included are epitaphs and humble votive offerings that illustrate the piety of individuals, and that reveal the prevalence of magic and the occult in the spiritual lives of the ancient Romans.

By Tuesday night's end, the U.S. Open Cup field will be down to four teams.
A three-time defending champion, four other MLS sides and three upstart USL Pro clubs remain in what has been a riveting tournament so far under the new format.
The two big questions looming Tuesday are: Will the Sounders' Open Cup reign finally come to an end against an in-form San Jose side? In a tournament full of Cinderella stories, will any USL Pro clubs make it to the semifinals?
Here is a closer look at the night's four matches along with the pairings for the semifinal round:
PHILADELPHIA UNION vs. HARRISBURG CITY ISLANDERS (7:30 p.m.)
It's essentially Big Brother vs. Little Brother, as the Union take on their affiliate club for the second time in two weeks after dropping a 3-2 friendly result to the City Islanders on June 12.
The Union are playing a much more inspired, confident attacking game under interim coach John Hackworth and are coming off a 4-0 thrashing of Sporting Kansas City Saturday to build some momentum heading into Tuesday night's match.
The City Islanders have been an MLS killing machine this tournament, taking down the New England Revolution in penalty kicks after one of the wildest periods of extra time ever and the New York Red Bulls in the following round in extra time to reach the quarterfinals. Both of those matches were at home, however, where the City Islanders are unbeaten against MLS competition. Venturing into PPL Park against a motivated Union side will be another challenge altogether.
SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs. DAYTON DUTCH LIONS (8:30 p.m.)
It's hard to know what to make of the Dutch Lions, who are the Toronto FC of this tournament field in that they just won their first league game (1-7-5 in USL Pro) while finding success in non-league competitions. Their most pronounced victory came over the Columbus Crew in the third round, and they topped Cinderella PDL side Michigan Bucks to keep their run alive.
They'll meet a Sporting Kansas City side that has had its high ups be met with some recent low downs, most notably the weekend loss in Philadephia. With SKC returning to Livestrong Sporting Park for this match, it would seem like the ideal way to turn things around ahead of Friday night's nationally televised league match against the Chicago Fire.
CHIVAS USA vs. CHARLOTTE EAGLES (10:30 p.m.)
Chivas have quietly marched on in this tournament, taking care of the Ventura County Fusion and Carolina RailHawks in professional, yet unspectacular fashion, leaving them as a potential dark horse MLS side and one with a golden path to the semifinals.
In their way stand the Eagles. With another win, Charlotte would have one more Open Cup win than it does in USL Pro play this season. The club deserves credit for getting by FC Dallas and the San Antonio Scorpions, but heading cross country to Titan Stadium in Fullerton, Calif., is no easy proposition.
"It is kind of strange that we can't win in the league, but we're going through the Open Cup," Charlotte coach Mark Steffens told U.S. Soccer's official website. "This is a hardworking group. We have veterans who have been around for a while and we've got some talented young kids. We've got a good mixture and a great dynamic. There is a unity on this squad and the guys genuinely like each other. I think that goes a long way."
SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES vs. SEATTLE SOUNDERS (10:30 p.m.)
The Sounders, winless in seven MLS games, enter the match just having played an intense rivalry match in Portland on Sunday, meaning that Sigi Schmid will likely have to get creative when putting together his lineup.
San Jose, meanwhile, enters with loads of confidence. Coming off a Rocky Mountain road sweep of the Colorado Rapids and Real Salt Lake, the Earthquakes sit atop the Western Conference standings. Frank Yallop will have to be mindful of his lineup selection as well, with a massive rivalry game against the Los Angeles Galaxy looming on Saturday night, but the Earthquakes have proven to be one of the deeper teams in all of MLS.
The odds would appear to be against the Sounders in this tournament for the first time in about three years. Considering the current forms of both teams, the fact that this match will be hosted by San Jose and compound that with the little rest the Sounders will have had, Tuesday night could very well mark the end of a tremendous Open Cup reign. The tournament means plenty to Seattle though, and it would be unwise to count out the champions before the final whistle is blown at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco.
"This is probably our most difficult challenge, having to come back and play on just one day's rest against a team that has two days of rest," Schmid told SoundersFC.com. "It is what it is. It's a challenge we have to accept, and we have to rise up to it."
U.S. OPEN CUP SEMIFINAL PAIRINGS (games either July 10 or 11)
Sporting Kansas City/Dayton Dutch Lions at Philadelphia Union
Harrisburg City Islanders at Sporting Kansas City
Dayton Dutch Lions at Harrisburg City Islanders
Chivas USA/Charlotte Eagles at Seattle Sounders or San Jose Earthquakes
Which teams do you think will win tonight's matches? Is this the night that Seattle's Open Cup run comes to an end? Do you see any of the USL Pro teams continuing on to the semifinals?
Share your thoughts below.
A Union/SKC rematch could be interesting to see and is a likely matchup. Chivas should win as well. SJ/Seattle is a tough one to call though I am pulling for the Quakes simply because Seattle has already had a hell of a run at the USOC and it is time for another club to win it. Ideally I would like to see the two USL teams besides HCI advance but I doubt that will happen.
Se4ttle Sounders !
They are 1 game away from their 6th straight time in the semi-finals.
Go ahead and give me your " no one else cares", I don't believe it….
6 straight semis would be very impressive.
Quakes have finally admitted that this tournament matters, since it always has to the fans. I expect a whole new MF with baca, Moreno, Cronin, and salinas starting. That is some impressive depth. Will be interesting to see if Gordon starts, since he sure as hell deserves it, but he's the Galaxy killer and needed on Saturday.
I don't know which team I loath more, Seattle or San Jose. Doesn't matter, really. SKC will be accepting their second USOC trophy this year.
Dave S in San Jose
"…the fact that this match will be hosted by San Jose…"
Every time the San Jose front office hosts these matches outside San Jose, I feel like the atmosphere is neutral and gives away our advantage. Whether it was those *awful* games in Oakland (1 hour away) or now in San Francisco (1 hour away), I wish we'd stop giving away (what little) home field advantage we have at Buck Shaw. The only decent away site in my opinion was Stanford, Palo Alto (30 minutes away) where we play LA on Sat. 2 "home" games in a row away from home – thanks, front office! It's like telling New York fans that they have a home game in Stamford, CT or telling DC fans to go to Baltimore for their home game.
Yes, Buck Shaw is small and not ideal and being replaced. But it's home – we should play there!
I'm throwing it out there: Harrisburg and Charlotte.
I really like Harrisburg's chances to take down their "big brother". The two clubs have a working relationship, they know each other well. Harrisburg is very organized and has guys on their roster who know what it's like to take down an MLS clun in USOC play.
I also like Charlotte's chances. Keep an eye on Maurcio Salles. He's been knocking on the door. He has moments of brilliance and it seems like he is about due for one. This is going to be his best chance to get the look from MLS that has eluded him.
Don't bet your mortgage on those two but if you got a little disposable income to wager (where legal, of course), you might be able to get some extra funds to put towards your outrageous cable bill now that the sign up special has expried (come on yall–I know I'm can't be the only one)…
I'd love for Charlotte to upset Chivas. But I was able to see the Chivas-Carolina Railhawks match, and Chivas was impressive. Took the match seriously (unlike the LA Galaxy, who clearly seemed to think that they could waltz into NC and come away with an easy win). Charlotte will need some big breaks to beat them at home.
Believe it or not, there are a lot of Quakes fans here in SF. Just be thankful that the front office made the mistake years ago by not pursuing a permanent home in San Francisco, which would have made a little more sense, in my biased and surely slanted opinion. In other words, throw us a bone, we like to have some live soccer matches here too. Plenty of soccer fans in this city, now just need to make them MLS fans. This is a step in the right direction. Kezar would be the PERFECT MLS venue, all can agree!
id bet on KC for this year..
I feel ya: Ya gotta get some breaks with both of my predictions. More so with the Charlotte-Chivas USA match.
I can envision Harrisburg beating the Union 2-0.
One thing is pretty clear. If Philly drops this match, things will have gone from "bad" to "worse" riverside…
ELAC - the sheppard
No predictions, but expect a loud crowd for that Chivas USA – Charlotte match.
We are fielding a very solid line up.
C'mon you Goats!
Dave S in San Jose
I can't make it tonight. Looking forward to my SF brothers making some noise and supporting *our* team. Let's see SF represent!

Afternoon analysis 09.03.2016:
The euro lower before the key meeting of the ECB. The Bank of France cut the GDP forecast. The zloty gained against the euro.
The Bank of France cut the GDP forecast for the first quarter of 2016. Revised forecast was set at 0.3 percent against 0.4 percent reported earlier. It was caused by deterioration of sentiment among manufacturing companies. The sentiment index was unchanged in service and construction sectors.
The report may suggest that the economic difficulties that hurt the emerging market economies affect negatively the European exporters. This is another argument for the ECB to increase its monetary stimulus. It this context yesterday's report from the German industry may be important as it exceeded expectations. As a result, the reading may suggest that the slowdown could have been only transitory.
All in all, in spite of quite good data from Germany the assessment of the eurozone economy has deteriorated. The ECB is closely watching inflation. The HICP inflation rate dropped in February to minus 0.2 percent against 0.3 percent in the previous month. The Frankfurt-based institution's inflation goal is set close to 2 percent. Given the situation, the probability of the ECB meeting its inflation target in the mid term is rather low. As a result, the ECB has to increase stimulus to fulfill its major obligation. The ECB is expected to cut deposit rate by 10 basis points and increase the limit of asset purchases by 15 billion euros.
Commodities rebounded
On Tuesday the commodities market declines. Oil and copper declined together. The price of oil dropped due to adverse report from the Energy Information Agency that cited stubborn oversupply and low prices. However, prices rebounded on Wednesday.
It was due the fact the major central banks move to more loose policy. Tomorrow the ECB is expected to increase stimulus. Moreover, the Federal Reserve may announce that it will lower the pace of tightening. Earlier, the Chinese government may increase fiscal stimulus.
As a result, currencies of commodity exporting countries increased. Today, the Russian rubble, the Norwegian crown and the Canadian dollar increased. The tendency may hold in the longer term if the major central banks will move to more dovish stance.
Stable zloty
Adam Glapiński from the NBP said a "more realistic" approach to frank denominated credit is near to be finished (according to PAP). He said that the new solution will comply with the need of preserving the stability of financial sector. Glapiński said the project should be implemented soon to eliminate uncertainty.
Adam Glapiński is the major candidate for succession after Marek Belka's term expires. As a result, his view is rather important. A final solution for the problem will ease some risk in the Polish financial sector. If the solution is broadly accepted, the zloty may gain in the longer term.
The zloty remain in a narrow band. On Friday the MPC will decide on interest rates. According to market consensus it will leave rates unchanged. However, if the MPC shows rather hawkish stance, the zloty may gain. Moreover, the zloty may gain support from the ECB and the Fed.

Dear Alex Salmond,
We are immensely proud, honoured and grateful to your government for its commitment to equal human rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people - most recently its support for same-sex marriage.
Now we ask you to continue and extend your support.
I appeal to you to speak out - during the Commonwealth Games - in defence of the human rights of LGBTI people who suffer grave persecution in 42 out of 53 Commonwealth member states - and, given this persecution, to offer a specific, warm Scottish welcome to LGBTI athletes arriving in Glasgow.
Article 7 of the Constitution of the Commonwealth Games Federation states: "There shall be no discrimination against any country or person on any grounds whatsoever, including race, colour, gender, religion or politics."
Despite this ban on any and all discrimination, which is also enshrined in the Commonwealth Charter, 80 per cent of Commonwealth countries discriminate against LGBTI people.
These nations have laws that criminalise homosexuality, even between consenting adults in private. Seven of these nations stipulate a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. In parts of two Commonwealth countries - Nigeria and Pakistan - LGBTI people can face execution under Sharia law.
Prejudice, discrimination, hate crime and legal victimisation against LBGTI people is widespread and draconian in 4 out of 5 Commonwealth countries. This homophobic hatred is so great that it is likely to prevent LGBTI athletes securing access to top class sports facilities and training camps. It is also likely to inhibit their equal, open and fair selection for the Commonwealth Games. This needs to be challenged.
The sad reality is that homophobic Commonwealth states such as Cameroon, Uganda, Brunei and Nigeria are more likely to jail LGBTI athletes than allow them to participate at the Glasgow games.
Already, we've heard that a world class Indian 100 metre sprinter, Dutee Chand, has been barred by her country's Commonwealth Games selectors because she is intersex.
While all participating countries agree to accept the Commonwealth Games constitution, which includes Article 7, this is a mere formality. They have never been specifically asked to agree to non-discrimination. Most play lip-service to this fundamental principle: that discrimination has no place in sport.
Although the Glasgow 2014 organisers cannot be held responsible for the anti-gay laws in of 4 out of 5 Commonwealth member states, it does have a responsibility to ensure that there is no discrimination by participating nations in the selection of their national teams.
It is not unreasonable to say that countries that refuse to support Article 7 - or that perpetuate discrimination in access to sports facilities, training camps or team selection - should be barred from participating in the Commonwealth Games.
If they are not prepared to abide by the rules of Article 7 they have no right to come to Glasgow or future Commonwealth Games.
A commitment to non-discrimination needs to come from the top and be publicly visible at both national and international levels. That is why I am appealing to Mr Salmond as First Minister of the host nation. Your support can set an equality bench mark, to the credit of yourself and Scotland.
A public statement by you would not only reinforce Scotland's commitment to uphold universal human rights and Commonwealth values; it would also represent a specific and notable step forward in the defence of the human rights of LGBTI athletes and citizens across the Commonwealth.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Tatchell

"I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay."
With these three short sentences, Jason Collins became the first active male player in any of the big four of American sports —baseball, hockey, basketball, and football—to come out.
Collins, a 12-year veteran of the NBA who most recently played for the Washington Wizards and Boston Celtics, wrote about coming to terms with his sexual orientation in this week's Sports Illustrated bombshell cover story.
Jason Collins, the NBA's first openly gay player, via Zumapress
You may not have heard of Jason Collins before. Even dedicated basketball fans sometimes confuse him with his twin brother, Jarron, who is also a NBA player. But in Los Angeles, especially the San Fernando Valley where I live, the Collins brothers are legendary. They both attended Chatsworth's Sierra Canyon, Montclair Prep in Van Nuys and made Harvard-Westlake a basketball powerhouse during the '90s. Members of the H-W class of '97, the twins were star players on a Wolverine basketball squad, dubbed "The Best Team Ever," that was undefeated and won two state championships. The brothers were well-known around campus, not surprising given the school's tight community and their immense success on the basketball court. Their framed pictures hang outside the school gym, in a Hall of Fame gallery of student-athletes who have gone on to athletic success, and they went on to play for Stanford before being drafted by the pros.
That an active professional athlete in a major sport came out was bound to happen sooner or later. But the fact that Jason graduated from the same high school my daughters attend, a school that proudly supports him today, makes the revelation a bit more personal. In fact I first heard the news not via Sports Illustrated or any of the major sports networks, but by a status update posted on the school's offical Facebook page lauding his decision to come out. I'd expect nothing less of an institution committed to teaching kids how to think for themselves. The school has a legacy of producing leaders and Collins will be a role model for many students who follow in his footsteps. Since graduation, he has continued to coach at the school's summer basketball camps and I don't expect that to change. That there are homosexual athletes playing professional sports will eventually be something commonplace but in the meantime, H-W students and families can look on with pride that one of their own led the way.
Harvard-Westlake Basketball Coach Greg Hilliard, who coached the Collins brothers while they played on the nation's top-ranked high school team, remembers Jason as a player who "dominated high school"
"Sexual orientation was never an issue to any of us," Hillard said. "I'm just proud that he at this point decided it's the right time to talk about it."
According to the SI article, Collins, who was engaged to a woman for a short time, came out to a few relatives over the years but only revealed his sexuality to his twin last year. Despite a lifetime spent in each other's shadows on and off the basketball court, Jarron (who is eight minutes younger) was "downright astounded"by the revelation. But Jason adds, "by dinner that night, he was full of brotherly love. For the first time in our lives, he wanted to step in and protect me."
For Collins, hiding his sexual orientation became "almost unbearable" when the Supreme Court began considering the case that would decide the future of gay marriage last month. The player said he waited until the end of the NBA season out of "loyalty" to his team to prevent his personal life from becoming a distraction.
"Less than three miles from my apartment, nine jurists argued about my happiness and my future," Collins writes. "Here was my chance to be heard, and I couldn't say a thing. I didn't want to answer questions and draw attention to myself. Not while I was still playing."
Interestingly, during his seasons with the Celtics and Wizards, Collins wore jersey number 98, as a "statement" referring to a hate crime committed in 1998 against gay college student Matthew Shepard who was tortured to death near Laramie, Wyoming. Shepard's horrific death brought national attention to the state of gay rights and spurred federal hate crime legislation.
"I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, 'I'm different,'" Collins said. "If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I'm raising my hand."
Collins is a free agent this summer and hopes to get picked up by another team next season. If he does continue to play, he will probably be the only openly gay player in the NBA. But, as he notes at the end of the piece, he will surely not be the only gay player. Collins found the courage, after living in the shadows of his truth, to set an historic standard and, for the most part, his peers are supportive..
After release of the story, the league offered statements on its official Twitter account: "We have known the Collins family since Jason and Jarron joined the NBA in 2001 and they have been exemplary members of the NBA family. Jason has been a widely respected player and teammate throughout his career and we are proud he has assumed the leadership mantle on this very important issue." The series of tweets ends with the hashtag #NBAFamily
In women's sports, the attitude is completely different. A couple weeks ago Brittney Griner, the #1 WNBA draft pick, came out and few people seemed to care. Of course there is a much longer record of high-profile female athletes being gay and, in a way, the lack of publicity surrounding Griner's announcement was refreshing.
One week after the draft, Griner signed a "big time" deal with Nike, a company that does not shy away from promoting gay athletes. AdWeek noted that Nike is Collins' only known sponsor, and that they expect the company to launch a new TV campaign built around him: "The attitude needs to be, 'This is actually not that big of deal. Its time has come. There will be more gay athletes coming out. It's just the beginning.'"
The fact is that the 6'8" Griner, who may be the best woman to ever play basketball, is more interesting because she can dunk than because she is a lesbian. But just because she didn't send shockwaves through the sports world by confirming her sexuality publically—her story is no less one of courage and pride. If Collins is a hero, then so is Brittney Griner and all the other athletes before her.
In a world where athletes are constantly pushing boundaries, both Collins' and Griner's announcements are indicative of how sports can break down barriers. These two athletes are real game-changers.

Concerns about the Royal College's ability to regulate veterinary practices owned by people who are not vets were raised by clinicians attending an RCVS Question Time event in Norfolk.
Concerns about the Royal College's ability to regulate veterinary practices owned by people who are not vets were raised by clinicians attending an RCVS Question Time event in Norfolk.
The meeting, open to vets and VNs, was attended by the officers of the Royal College, who responded to questions posed by audience members or sent to the college prior to the event.
The event, which took place on January 20 at the Holiday Inn Norwich North saw RCVS president Peter Jinman respond to questions and comments about the policing of corporate practices.
One veterinary surgeon in the audience asked: "How can the RCVS effectively police the profession when owners of practices, who are not vets, are outside their jurisdiction?"
In response, Mr Jinman said: "The Veterinary Surgeons Act doesn't allow the college to regulate anyone but the members of the profession. If you are not a vet we cannot regulate you. If the business is owned by somebody who is not a veterinary surgeon, and that's a very common thing now, the college doesn't have any jurisdiction over them as an individual."
However, making comparisons between vets working under the direction of corporate managers and clinicians working in the health service, Mr Jinman also said: "It's not a lot different from the NHS, where doctors are working in their individual capacity and can disciplined by the relevant body.
"It's no different to the way the PDSA has worked for a number of years. It is the same with DEFRA vets – these are veterinary surgeons working for a particular employer, that happens to be the state, but they have found themselves in difficulties on occasions and before disciplinary procedures. So the self-regulation of the profession is still maintained."

I would be absolutely shocked if we're not close to the cap ceiling next year like we are every year.
UFA forwards to look at next year. I wouldn't even consider anyone past 31 unless one-two year deals--Thomas Vanek--he's 29. Derek Roy-30. Mayson Raymond-28. Paul Stastny-28. Andrew Cogliano-26. The injury prone--Milan Michalek-29. Callahan-28. Mike Santorelli-28. Pouliot again-27. Mikhail Grabovski-29. Matt Moulson-30. Steve Downie-26. Devin Setoguchi-26. Ryan Garbutt-28. David Bolland-27. Brandon Bollig-26. Boyle again-29.
IMO Vanek's going to cost a lot. He's the only legit 1st liner. Moulson, Stastny will cost at least as much as Callahan.
UFA defensemen--injury prone Andrei Markov is 35--very short term if you sign him--he's a legit pwp threat. Same could be said for 37 year old Dan Boyle. Matt Niskanen--26 would be a good pickup--somehow I think he doesn't make it to free agency. Kris Russell-26. Andrew MacDonald-27. Girardi-29. Stralman-27. Mark Fayne-26. Mark Stuart-29 decent bottom pairing guy. Ditto for 31 year old Deryk Engelland.
Good D's will be harder to find than forwards.
Most of the teams sign their players to long term contracts out of entry level. Those players are off the market for a while. The Hawks will have the space to re-sign Kane and Toews to $12M per. Those guys are up in a year or two. There will be many overpaid players this summer and every summer.

- Users update medication management system according to prescription schedule
- Data is uploaded to a Bluetooth 4.0 enabled device using the Kraken app
- Data is ready to share with individual physicians or family members in the form of a compliance report
Kraken is the solution to medication monitoring NEPTUNE, N.J., Jan. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Nearly 50% of the prescriptions written every year in the United States aren't taken as directed – or at all. As an increasing number of patients refuse to comply with their own physician's medication guidelines, so spikes our country's number of acute care and nursing home admissions, physician visits – and a cost to America that's currently estimated by the New England HealthCare Institute to be $290 billion – and rising. "When patients are being discharged home from the hospital, they are more vulnerable to medication adherence challenges," said James Clarke, MD, vice president of clinical effectiveness at Ocean Medical Center. "If patients do not take their prescriptions as prescribed by their physician, they are at risk for preventable emergency room visits and hospital admissions." "All hospitals are focused on trying to reduce preventable readmissions, and lack of compliance with medication is area of focus to improve overall patient care," he added. In response to this growing problem, iMPak Health has released their latest product: Kraken. Kraken is the iMPak Health solution to medication monitoring in the digital age, a unique, user friendly alternative allowing patients and physicians to organize, track and outline prescription schedules freely and accurately. Here's how Kraken works:

metabolism causes damage, in the end so much we die
can not be solved by medical science but what about bioscience
prevent damage by metabolism, but how does it work?
maybe we can separate the metabolism from the damage it causes
continuously repair during life

By FRANCO PANIZO Rapid Vienna has had a disastrous showing in the Europa League, but the same cannot be said for forward Terrence Boyd. Boyd continued his strong start to his first professional season on Thursday, scoring his third goal in the competition to give Rapid Vienna a 2-1 lead over Mix Diskerud and Rosenborg BK. The goal was Boyd's 11th of the season across all competitions, but it would not stand as the winner as Rosenborg responded by scoring twice to hand already-eliminated Vienna its latest loss in the group stage of the tournament. Oguchi Onyewu was another player who had a notable outing this week, as he started in Malaga's Champions League clash with Zenit St Petersburg on Tuesday. Onyewu went the distance in the 2-2 draw, a result that assured Malaga a first-place finish in their group. It was not all good news, however. Sacha Kljestan and Anderlecht suffered a 3-1 loss to AC Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday, and that result eliminated them from the competition. Kljestan started and went the distance in the demoralizing defeat. Here's how the Americans Abroad fared during the midweek action: UEFA Champions League
- Sacha Kljestan started and played 90 minutes in RSC Anderlecht's 3-1 loss vs. AC Milan on Wednesday.
- Jermaine Jones started and played 90 minutes in Schalke 04's 1-0 win vs. Olympiakos on Wednesday.
- Oguchi Onyewu started and played 90 minutes in Malaga's 2-2 draw vs. Zenit St Petersburg on Wednesday.
- Michael Parkhurst started, played 90 minutes and received a yellow card in FC Nordsjaelland's 5-2 loss vs. Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday.
UEFA Europa League
- Clint Dempsey started and played 63 minutes in Tottenham Hotspur's 0-0 draw vs. Lazio on Thursday.
- Brad Friedel did not dress for Tottenham Hotspur.
- David Yelldell did not dress in Bayer Leverkusen's 0-0 draw vs. FC Metalist Kharkiv on Thursday.
- Steve Cherundolo started and played 90 minutes in Hannover 96's 0-0 draw vs. Twente Enschede on Thursday.
- Alejandro Bedoya started and played 90 minutes in Helsingborgs IF's 3-1 loss vs. Levante on Thursday.

What do you think of these performances? Impressed with Boyd having 11 goals at this point in his first professional season? Do you see Onyewu breaking into Malaga's lineup during the knockout stage of the Champions League?
Share your thoughts below.
Boyd is the real deal. Heard mix ran things in the MF which is good. Sorry for Sacha and Gatt being eliminated, both with a lot to give to USMNT. Glad Gooch played well. Most significantly….. JJ NO YELLOW CARD!!!!!
The proper reaction to an Adriano/Shaktar….
Good Jeremy
We had four guys play 90 minutes in champ league games, and only one of them is a regular starter for us. We've come a long ways yankees.
THIS. Though I do think that Parkhurst and Sasha (and Spector for that matter) really deserve more minutes… Hopefully this summer will see that happen.
Tijuana will be disappointed- losing 2-0 on the road. Defended well most of the match and had a few chances, but just fell apart defensively for about 5 minutes in the second half. Maybe they can do the business at home.
Boyd will be moving to Eredivisie or Bundesliga by next summer
+1 I am still surprised that Dortmund let him go to Austria so cheaply and am wondering whether Dortmund might have inserted a buyback clause in the transfer contract.
I think Boyd's lack of ball skills make manager's underrate him and not pay attention tomhismother excellent talents.
Big Chil
to his mother's excellent talents?
Mr. G,
You make it are sound as if you are better at evaluating talent than guys who make a living at it.
And maybe you are.
However, is it possible Boyd currently has a particular set of skills that did NOT fit into whatever needs the management at Dortmund was faced with?
Is it possible that skill and talent are not the only factors that go into player personnel decisions for a club like Dortmund. After all they very probably have access to a broader, deeper pool of talent than USMNT fans are used to seeing? Even a team like Dortmund can't keep everyone.
Dortmund has done a pretty good job recently at developing their talent and supplying their first team.
I'm pretty sure they did not underrate anything about Boyd and that they had a reason for letting Boyd go.

Missed today's games, saw Kljestan and Onyewu. Gooch's performance was very encouraging. He looked as good as he has in a long time. Let's hope he can stay healthy and in form and we have another capable center back for the national team.
Yea, Gooch was like a former himself! In 2006 WC he made a perfect head pass to Rosicki for the second Czechs' goal against us, in the recent game vs Zenit it was his poor clearance that was followed by the second Zenit's goal vs Malaga. His consistence through these years is just amazing. When he is not making assists to opposing teams he tends to fade away from important game sequences. Rare and between are his heroics in defending, so I would not bet that he could be of any use to USMNT in the future. He was too slow and unfortunate before, he is even more slow and unfortunate now.
Nate Dollars
the ignorance is astounding.
Nate Dollars
while he's never been a world-class (or even a versatile) defender, onyewu helped lock down the back for the US for a long time (really, up until his injury).
in fact, the pairing of him and boca might be considered the best CB combo we've had in the last 20 years (and for the foreseeable future).
i believe you dissing him now says more about you than it does about him.
The worst grade of all the team for the match per Malaga fans' voting. http://www.resultados-futbol.com/partido/Zenit-St-Petersburg/Malaga#info-comentarios-tips
Also: A mixed bag according to some Spanish commentators: ONYEWU (2 out of 5)
2| Volvió a sufrir el central, al que el partido le pasaba por encima en cuanto a revoluciones. Más alla de lo pesado que pudo estar y la facilidad para sacarlo de sitio, el central tuvo algunos cortes e interceptaciones bastante buenos ante la avalancha progresiva de los locales.
MidWest Ref
does this rant somehow makeyou feel better about yourself b-123?
It's doing wonders for your English teacher's morale…
Ah yes the inevitable cheap shot.
How good is your Spanish?
The guy seems to be a Malaga fan who does not rate Gooch.
Are you suggesting only Americans are allowed to be cruel and negative to Americans Abroad?
At the height of his powers Gooch was at best a solid international defender. His criticism of Gooch is far milder than the garbage American fans have dumped on Gooch and other Americans Abroad over the years.
Just want to note that I believe (SBI fave 🙂 Jermaine Jones had the assist on the winning goal for Schalke. And Schalke's win is good news for the USMNT as it means Jones and team have made it through to the knock-out (round-of-16) in the Champions League.
And speaking of Schalke, and no, I am not yet pressing the panic button for Dempsey at Tottenham, but I think a door might be opening in January at Schalke for a forward/attacking midfielder with the qualities of a Clint Dempsey. Both forward Klaas Jan Huntelaar and attacking midfielder Lewis Holtby have contracts that end in June and both have not yet signed contract extensions. If Schalke wants to get any money out of them at all, they would need to sell in January and then would quickly need to bring in reinforcements for the CL knock-out rounds.
I saw the Tottenham-Lazio match yesterday and, quite frankly, it was not a good showing for Clint–or for the whole AVB-coached team, for that matter. (In my opinion) Clint looked out of sorts and nervous and not particularly happy and I think it affected his play. His first-touch was not very good and I felt he was being ignored yet again by teammates when he was open with space to maneuver. The whole Tottenham team (except Hugo Loris) looked totally uninspired with no team chemistry.
I felt last summer that Schalke would be a perfect fit for Dempsey. If Huntelaar and/or Holtby would leave in January, I think Clint should think about cutting his losses at Tottenham and making a move and get out of the Premier League for a totally fresh start before WC 2014 and I think he would fit with the Bundesliga, plus he could play with his buddy Jermaine Jones. Trouble is, after the Liverpool debacle last summer, I don't have much faith in Dempsey's agent, did not seem like the most competent agent in the world.
Totally agree that Deuce ist Deutch. Dortmund or Schalke would have been absolutely ideal.
Agreed. After the game yesterday for the first time I just had the feeling that Tottenham and AVB are not a good fit for Dempsey and the Tottenham players, well, you know, and maybe Clint should be doing some serious thinking about the time between now and WC 2014 and I think Dempsey would be loved in the Bundesliga.
One thing I forgot to mention in the post above is that apparently Tottenham managment is going to make at least 20 million pounds available to AVB in January to bring in new faces. Not sure exactly what that would mean for Dempsey, but my gut feeling is probably not good. I guess Dempsey apparently wanted to keep his family in London, but two and one-half years in Germany would be a good experience also and if he would play at Schalke he could, like Raul did and Jermaine Jones does, live in Dusseldorf, which is decent big city and has a great international school for his little daughter…
Boyd also had an assist on the other goal from what I read.
What makes you think Schalke are even interested in Deuce? It's not as if Deuce is Raul, a far more accomplished player than Clint.
Deuce is responsible for his career, not his agent. Clint is a grown up and, it seems to me if you are going to praise him for his success, then you can't start blaming his agent because the Spurs move isn't working out.
GW: There were credible reports last spring and early summer that Schalke was particularly interested in Dempsey. And then the dream move to Liverpool started to look likely. I don't know if Schalke backed off after Liverpool popped up, but that is possible. And I am not saying that Schalke is still interested in Clint. I am only saying that there is a chance that Schalke could lose Huntelaar and Holtby in January (or in June), and if one or both of those players leave then Schalke will be in an emergency situation and will need to bring in reinforcments who are ready to hit the ground running for the Bundesliga and the Champions League and who better than Clint Dempsey, who would be a perfect fit for Schalke.
fortunate only
Credible reports?
Schalke has never expressed any interest in Clint.
German teams rarely splash the kind of money Dempsey would cost, especially for a player that isn't highly thought of outside of Fulham, unfortunately.
"I am only saying that there is a chance that Schalke could lose Huntelaar and Holtby in January (or in June), and if one or both of those players leave then Schalke will be in an emergency situation and will need to bring in reinforcments who are ready to hit the ground running for the Bundesliga and the Champions League and who better than Clint Dempsey, who would be a perfect fit for Schalke."
What you actually saying is that you are more observant and intelligent than Schalke's management.
I'm sure you are as good as you believe yourself to be but chances are Schalke's management also probably know a thing or two about how to run a pro team.
Are you saying you anticipated the loss of Huntelaar and Holtby and Schalke did not?
If they did and are preparing for it then it's not exactly an emergency situation is it?
I'm sure Dempsey would do fine but don't tell me he is the best choice to"hit the ground running "in the BL and the Champions League, two competitions he has NO experience in.
It is also a new country and everyone needs time to adjust for that. Dempsey had adjustment issues with Spurs and he didn't even leave his city. I'm sure you can make a credible argument for Clint but whether the Schalke management would agree with you is highly debatable in my view as an ignorant outsider.
And what are "credible reports"? When it comes to transfer rumors for players in Europe here is a relevant quote:
Lloyd: What do you think the chances are of a guy like you and a girl like me… ending up together?
Mary: Well, Lloyd, that's difficult to say. I mean, we don't really…
Lloyd: Hit me with it! Just give it to me straight! I came a long way just to see you, Mary. The least you can do is level with me. What are my chances?
Mary: Not good.
Lloyd: You mean, not good like one out of a hundred?
Mary: I'd say more like one out of a million.
Lloyd: So you're telling me there's a chance… *YEAH!*

Halfway Home
It's like being "halfway home."
Since 1996, Gainesville's "House of Hope" has provided men coming out of prison with a stable, faith-based home as they make the transition into life without bars.
The ministry has now expanded- serving women.
"Somebody's gotta help them, they need a second start," said Carolyn McCray, who lives down the block from the hope house.
The humble East Gainesville home is in high demand, according to Director Jennifer Smith.
"We're getting letters by the dozens already," she said.
For now only five women will be picked to live at the home.
"We will take anyone out of incarceration, whether that's federal, prison, state prison, or even the county jail, all throughout the state of Florida," she said.
The transitional prison ministry helps ex-cons get back on their feet.
"We will teach life skills, we'll teach computer skills, how to fill out resumes, how to fill out applications, even how to dress appropriately," she said.
The women will live at the home for six months, with all lessons rooted in faith.
"We will disciple out of the Christian bible and I believe with all of my heart, that that's exactly what's going to keep these ladies, on track and with great purpose," she said.
Local churches, businesses, and volunteers are behind the mission, but it's up to the women to stay.
"This is the House of Hope, but it also gives me hope that people really do want to change, it's not just hear-say, they want to change," said Smith.
Smith says they're in the process of interviewing applicants and hope to have the house filled by June.
She says very little would keep someone from being accepted, but sex offenders can't stay there because it's too close to a school.

Japan has finally lifted the nation's ban on dancing which has been in place for 67 years.
Before, dancing publicly was actually against the law unless the venue had a licence, and even then dancing had to end before midnight.
The ban was put in place after the Second World War in an effort to crack down on dancehalls that were often a hotbed for prostitution.
Despite the law, police would often turn a blind eye to citizens dancing after 12am, although in recent years they had begun to crack down again due to a string of celebrity drug scandals and nightclub brawls.
Fortunately, the law is set to be repealed after a campaign led by world-famous Japanese musician Ryuichi Sakamoto, calling for the abolition of the ban, gained 150,000 signatures.
The lifting of the ban was also partly due to the upcoming 2020 Olympics, with the government taking steps to make sure visitors have as much fun (and spend as much money) as they can during their stay in Japan.
Unfortunately, the new law won't come into effect until next year so take it easy for now if you're planning to go clubbing in Tokyo!

untitled, pg 2
For awhile, I feared the ending of summer. There is something simultaneously idyllic and hectic about days that are mostly filled with sun. I'm uncertain what to do with this abundance of time and light and goodness, so of course, I spend it doing very inconsequential things. I may stare at my computer screen for entire hours, my mouse hand clicking on things but I'm not quite registering the changes in front of me. Entire hours. There isn't even enjoyment of daytime, of summer, of warmth. I feel stuck. We get stuck.
I started carrying an oversized jug with me, to work and around the home, at my desk, to my bedroom, at the sofa. I even brought it into the bathroom, only because it felt weird having any sort of beverage in there, even if it was only an oversized jug of water. Let me explain: my mother has insisted (through email, from afar, I imagine despite in its digital form that she is simultaneously shouting these messages from two states away just to makes sure I get the message) that I drink more water. She is vaguely concerned with my health. I say vaguely because it doesn't matter that I'm eating meals at irregular hours, five small meals a day (if you count granola bars, a bag of apples, or three pieces of chocolate as meals in themselves) at no particular time, in no particular order. It doesn't matter so much that I can't jog a block, but look, I need to drink water. So she insisted, through email, that I purchase the one she so kindly linked on a website but that she would not buy it for me, as that would of course be my own responsibility.
Has it made a difference? I have to pee a lot. That's a difference, but that has to do with the water and not the jug itself, I hope.
So here I am, at the end of the summer, staring at computer screens and drinking water. Throughout the day and at work people will ask things like, "How is your summer going?" And when it's over, and even now, they ask, "How did your summer go?" Existential acknowledgement – not even of me, just merely of seasons. My summer is fine. The weather has been great, hasn't it. How did your summer go. That's wonderful. Say hi. To whom … oh, the children, yes them.
So I wrote to my mother this morning. I wrote on an index card and put a postcard stamp on it. She enjoys getting physical mail (again, despite her digital correspondence), so I decided to indulge her, albeit very unseriously.
I wrote: "Thanks ma, I bought the water bottle. Pee a lot more than I did before. Cheers."

And every yellow rose bloomed

And you laughed,
And every yellow rose bloomed
for your shimmering brown eyes.
All the hands and lips
and tongues I still use to rinse
your body from mine.
On the rare mornings the fog clears
and my mind is free,
the mirror reminds me of
exuberant water balloon fights
and the red Sun warm against my eyelids
and through my golden salty skin,
drying from afternoon showers,
and of fireflies whispering brightly
and so desperately
to one another
and to me
as the night drops slowly, again.
All the different ways
I must suspend my humanity
to be treated like a person.
"And I love peonies
for the way they're so lavishly understated,
so vibrantly sane."
"You are
the most beautiful human.
The most beautiful,
broken human."
"I don't know what to call you in this language."
And that's what I love about words
because if I don't have one in my repertoire
you probably do in yours
and that's why we need each other
so desperately
and that's why that night
in that bar in Nashville
(so close to my home and so far from yours)
when you told me
raro was the only name for me:
unusual and
odd and
quirky and
extraordinary and
I smiled.
On the days I don't belong in English,
I have a home in Spanish.
And other days
there's room for me in French

Beautiful friend,

"Anger," her face says.
Walking to school in the dark morning is peaceful to me. So much air to breathe and less choas to face. Most kids think it's scary to walk this time, but I think it's the only time for peace and understanding.
The trees are my friends, the sky is my unlimitations to imagination. I spread my arms out and believe I'm in a place where thousands of birds sing and many trees sway to the harmony. I imagine that I'm in the sunshine and I'm in the middle of it all and until i go home I refuse to be anything else but happy.
I arrived at school feeling so happy and excited. The teachers look at me like I'm a rare child every happy to wake up so early in the morning. "Good morning, Sarah," they all say to me. I feel like sunshine passing through everyone.
Then, I see a younger girl walking in the hallway. Her face is red and her eyes are clogged with tears. I see anger in her face and sadness is waiting to be seen, too. I wonder why she isn't thinking to be in her happy place.
