Love is Blind
Book by: Red's_Wolf
Status: Finished
Genre: Gay and Lesbian
Chapter3 (v.1)
I couldn't get the girl out of my mind no matter how much I tried she would just pop in my thoughts without much of a warning. I had no idea how my coworkers dealt with me that day I mean I was basically in la la land and agreed with anything that was brought to my attention. Hell for all I know I probably gave my company to someone, I honestly didn't know what was wrong with me.
I finished all my appointments and signed what was necessary but when I got home I just sat down and thought of her. I mean there was something about her that was just unusual. She seemed to be completely normal one second and the next she was shy and just forgetful. What was really bothering me was the fact that she seemed to just jump to the conclusion that I didn't want to spend time with her. I fell asleep thinking about her and waiting for tomorrow.
The next morning I went to work and took care of some shows and the preparation and such for the new art work coming in. I really didn't have much to do just organize the time and place as well as the decorations so I finished quicker than I thought.
I went home and got ready for my dinner "date". When I got out the shower I didn't know what I was going to wear. I mean yea I could wear my blazer and such but that seemed to formal so I just went with some black jeans and a red blouse that matched nicely with my straight black hair. I drove off and got to her house around 6:30, which was thirty minutes before I said but I didn't think it mattered.
I was just about to knock on the door but before I could it burst open and there was a man walking out with a box in his hands and a yelling Melody who was right at his heels.
"You can't take that you bastard those are mine!"
"I bought them not you." The man said turning around to look back at Melody.
"I don't care if you bought them you gave them to me so they are mine."
"No, they are not."
"I swear to you if you don't give them back to me immediately I will call the police."
"Call them, I mean who are they going to believe, me a well recognized art critic or you a well known lunatic."
"I am not a lunatic."
"Yes you are Melody, now this is the last time I'm telling you these are mine." The man said holding some books before turning around only to come face to face with me. I don't think he recognized me in the shadows but I recognized him perfectly fine.
"Look I don't care who the hell you are but get out of my way."
"You are not leaving with my books!" Melody said as she tried to pull the box away from him but the man pushed her and she fell on her ass.
I looked at his face and the sneer he had which I was about to wipe away in a second. However I was not about to use psychical violence just words.
"Mr. Gordon, if I were you I'd leave this place and return the property back to Miss Melody." I said scaring him.
"How the hell do you know my name?" The man asked and at that moment I came out of the shadows and showed him who I was, which of course made him gasp. I mean seriously I had to chuckle I mean this was like so dramatic.
"Miss…Miss Valentine."
"I didn't realize you were here." Mr. Gordon said trying to compose himself.
"So I noticed, would you be so kind as to return back her property." I said indicating towards Melody who was standing by then.
"Oh yea, sorry Melody I didn't know what I was thinking these are yours." Mr. Gordon said handing Melody the box. I noticed how she seemed to praise those books so I saved that info for later.
Melody left somewhere and I didn't really notice where because I was too focused in Mr. Gordon who was fidgeting. I looked at him and did admit that he was a handsome man with short black hair and brown eyes, but my question was, why was he here.
"Mr. Gordon, may I ask what you were doing here?"
"Um, I was …I was just…"
"He was stealing my property." Melody said coming back and I noticed how Mr. Gordon looked at her with hatred at that moment.
"Now that's not true, I was…."
"Oh save it for someone else John, you are pathetic." Melody said as she looked at him. I think that her comment did it because at that moment he raised his hand and slapped her, which then led me to grab his neck and push him against the wall. My advantage was spending a lot of time in the gym and being an inch taller than him.
"Mr. Gordon if I were you I'd leave right now." I said putting a bit of pressure on his neck, which of course caused him to cough and struggle some more. I didn't realize I was putting too much until I felt her hand on my shoulder making me ease up.
Mr. Gordon began to cough and instinctively he grabbed his neck making sure he was okay. He stood up and looked at me with hate before looking at Melody and then turning around to leave.
I of course wasn't happy yet so I had to add a bit more pain to his little ego.
"Mr. Gordon?" I called out and watched as he turned around, I made sure he caught my eyes as I caught his.
"You can make sure that you will no longer have a job in my company or anywhere in my property, you want to critic art make personal appointments with the artists because you are now fired for being an abusive bastard." I said and looked at his shocked eyes before going into Melody's apartment.
I hadn't realized that she was gone again until she came back running and jumped in my arms, wrapping her arms around my neck, leaning her head on my shoulder before kissing me on the cheek and pulling away only to walk back to the kitchen.
I'm sure I looked like a complete moron at that moment. I mean I was just standing there stunned after what had just happened. I looked at Melody who was just dancing along with the music in the background and she seemed like nothing had just happened, I wonder who she really was because she really did act like she had multiple personalities.
"Hey Melody what was that for?" I asked as I walked towards the kitchen but she blocked my way and sat me down on the couch.
"Just because, I've never had anyone defend me except my brother but even he himself hurts me sometime" Melody said as she put something on two plates and got some glasses before heading my way.
First thing she did was bringing the glasses, which were set on the table in front of us, and then she brought some beers. Finally she brought the plates, which I could see had lasagna on them. She sat down but then she stood up again and went to get some forks and some napkins and she also turned of the music before putting on a movie.
"Hey I hope you like old movies." Melody said as she looked at me and winked giving me some napkins and a fork.
"I sure do." I said but I really didn't because frankly I didn't see movies. I ate my lasagna and just about choked at how hot it was. I did cough which cause her to look at me but did nothing until I finally drank some beer, which helped me calm down. I was sitting there finally relaxing and that's when she decided to ask me something.
"Oh my gosh is my lasagna that bad?" Melody asked, as she looked concerned. I couldn't help but lean my head backwards and laugh. I mean I just about die and she cared more about how good her food was.
"Your food is great, I mean I have had better but it's great." I said teasingly but realized that she wasn't the type to be teased like that because she looked down and I could see that she was upset.
"Hey Melody, I was just playing." I said as I scooted closer to her and took her in my arms. She just leaned against me and she seemed to be crying which really confused me I mean did she really care that much about her cooking. I looked down at her but she was hiding her head just like babies do when they hide from someone new against their mommy.
"Melody." I said as I looked at her and rubbed her cheek gently making her look at me, well actually more like peeking at me.
"Hey, I didn't mean to hurt you hun, I was just making a joke, I love your food it was just too hot."
"Okay." Melody said jumping from my lap and into her side of the couch again and smiled. She got her plate and began to eat again while I just sat there stunned. I mean this as a bit crazy don't you think I mean one second she's sad the next she's happy; I don't think this was normal.
I took my plate and began to eat my food as I looked at the movie. It was that movie Footloose but the old one and to be honest it was kind off good, a bit crazy but good.
"So did you like the movie?" Melody asked as she turned the lights on.
"Yea, it was good." I said finishing my beer.
"Really, that's great, so what's your favorite movie?" Melody asked me as I looked at her and smiled.
"I don't watch movies." I said.
"What!" Melody basically screamed and jumped of her couch running to who knows where. I waited a while before she came back with a box filled with something. It wasn't until she got closer that I saw what was in the box, which where a bunch of movies.
"Okay these are some of my favorite movies and you are going to pick one and we are going to watch it, and then another and another."
"Um I don't…"
"No, you are watching them, you understand?"
"Okay." I said and looked at her movies before choosing Zombieland.
"Okay this is one of my favorites." Melody said and she out it on and then went to get some more beer before coming back but instead of sitting her side she came towards me and leaned against me but got my arm and put it around her waist before snuggling against me.
I looked at her and all she did was look up and smile before fixing her eyes on the movie. I was enjoying it especially when the grandma killed the zombie with the piano, which was hilarious.
By the time the movie finished I had laughed and even cried when he didn't find the Twinkie but then I laughed again. I looked at Melody as she stood up and took the movie out before putting the next one I chose which was iRobot.
Again with this one I cried especially when they were about to take out the robot but then the doctor replaced him that was awesome. Again I laughed and cried along with this movie. My third choice was Kick Ass, which was hilarious. I mean that guy was just a wimp and come on what's up with those costumes and of course just like the others I cried when Batman was killed and the daughter went to avenge his death now that was like too cool.
I thought we were finished but no, I had to choose one last one and it didn't matter that it was already like two in the morning, no I had to chose one last one so I chose one and didn't really notice which one though so when there came a part where the girls were kissing I basically jumped out of my seat, what had I just chosen.
"Hey Melody, um what is this?"
"Oh okay." I said and looked at Melody to see if she was uncomfortable but she seemed perfectly fine.
"Hey Josephine?"
"Yea, and you can call me Joe by the way."
"Oh well Joe, have you ever felt like you wanted to kiss a girl?" Melody asked me and looked up at me.
"Um all the time." I said realizing she didn't know I was gay.
"Really, me too but I've always dated guys."
"Oh, how come you don't kiss a girl?"
"Because I don't just want to kiss them I want to feel them, date them."
"Then why don't you?" I asked curious as to why she hadn't dated one.
"Because girls are smarter and like to inspect things more and with guys you just get fucked and that's all."
"What do you mean?"
"When I'm with a guy all they do is fuck me and that's okay because they don't care if it's in the dark like I want it to be."
"Why do you want that?"
"Just because." Melody said as she looked at me.
"But why?"
"I'm not beautiful and I don't want them to see how not beautiful I am." Melody said as she looked at me.
"But you are beautiful." I said as I reached for her but she pulled away and turned on the light. She stood up turned of the TV and put some music, I think it was the Phantom of the Opera. Anyways I honestly didn't know what she was going to do until she stood in front of me and began to loosen her hair and take of her shirt, which I must add was also a long sleeved shirt.
However just before she took it off, along with a tee shirt she had under she made me close my eyes and I did. I waited until she said I could open my eyes and when I did I saw why she would think she wasn't beautiful.
She had scars running down her left side and her left arm; her left breast also had scars on the left side more. I looked at her and even though I saw her scars I couldn't look away. Not because of the scars but mostly because well she was a naked woman, a beautiful naked woman.
I looked at her, all of her and admired the beauty of her body. When I reached her face it seemed as if it were perfectly sculpted with her body but she was facing away from me. I stood up and walked to her, I touched her cheek and made her turn my way and I could see that she was crying.
I looked in her eyes and looked at her lips, this woman was beautiful and I wasn't about to hide the fact that I was extremely attracted to her. I looked in her eyes as I leaned forward until my lips were on hers.
At first I didn't move and neither did she, our lips were just together until I felt her breath out slowly and I knew that she was waiting. I moved my hands to her waist and pulled her closely to me, I did fell her scars but it didn't matter to me, and she seemed perfect, even with her scars. I moved my lips against hers and began to kiss her softly and slowly; I could feel that she was crying.
Our lips were locked in passion and I could feel the tip of her tongue wanting entrance into my mouth but I denied it for a little bit until I let her in, I tasted her sweet taste and kissed her back our tongues locked in a dance and our breaths coming out slowly and ragged. I pushed her against the couch and leaned on top of her.
My thigh was resting in between hers and I could feel the heat radiating from her and the wetness as she pushed against my thigh. I put my hand in her hair and fisted her hair making her head lean back before I looked at her and then looked at her parted lips, her breath coming slowly before once again I leaned in to kiss her. Passion that's all I gave to her as I kissed her. Her hands were pulling my shirt apart and buttons were flying everywhere. Her mouth was on my neck and I was moving my hand downward to touch her but at that moment the door burst open and Danny walked in along with another woman.

Field measurements of NO and NO2 emissions from fertilized and unfertilized soils

Field measurements of NO and NO2 emissions from soils have been performed in Finthen near Mainz (F.R.G.) and in Utrera near Seville (Spain). The applied method employed a flow box coupled with a chemiluminescent NOx detector allowing the determination of minimum flux rates of 2 μg N m-2 h-1 for NO and 3 μg m-2 h-1 for NO2.
The NO and NO2 flux rates were found to be strongly dependent on soil surface temperatures and showed strong daily variations with maximum values during the early afternoon and minimum values during the early morning. Between the daily variation patterns of NO and NO2, there was a time lag of about 2 h which seem to be due to the different physico-chemical properties of NO and NO2. The apparent activation energy of NO emission calculated from the Arrhenius equation ranged between 44 and 103 kJ per mole. The NO and NO2 emission rates were positively correlated with soil moisture in the upper soil layer.
The measurements carried out in August in Finthen clearly indicate the establishment of NO and NO2 equilibrium mixing ratios which appeared to be on the order of 20 ppbv for NO and 10 ppbv for NO2. The soil acted as a net sink for ambient air NO and NO2 mixing ratios higher than the equilibrium values and a net source for NO and NO2 mixing ratios lower than the equilibrium values. This behaviour as well as the observation of equilibrium mixing ratios clearly indicate that NO and NO2 are formed and destroyed concurrently in the soil.
Average flux rates measured on bare unfertilized soils were about 10 μg N m-2 h-1 for NO2 and 8 μg N m-2 h-1 for NO. The NO and NO2 flux rates were significantly reduced on plant covered soil plots. In some cases, the flux rates of both gases became negative indicating that the vegetation may act as a sink for atmospheric NO and NO2.
Application of mineral fertilizers increased the NO and NO2 emission rates. Highest emission rates were observed for urea followed by NH4Cl, NH4NO3 and NaNO3. The fertilizer loss rates ranged from 0.1% for NaNO3 to 5.4% for urea. Vegetation cover substantially reduced the fertilizer loss rate.
The total NOx emission from soil is estimated to be 11 Tg N yr-1. This figure is an upper limit and includes the emission of 7 Tg N yr-1 from natural unfertilized soils, 2 Tg N yr-1 from fertilized soils as well as 2 Tg N yr-1 from animal excreta. Despite its speculative character, this estimation indicates that NOx emission by soil is important for tropospheric chemistry especially in remote areas where the NOx production by other sources is comparatively small.

Information about online privacy and tips on cyber-safety
- Explore this page

- Practical safety steps
Protecting personal information online - it pays to keep your personal information personal
Whether we're logging into our bank accounts, submitting our credit card details, or simply subscribing to a blog, we supply a lot of personal information to the online organisations and merchants we deal with every day. The overwhelming majority are reputable and can be trusted with your details, but it's not a perfect world. Take some simple steps to keep your personal information safe from prying eyes.
What is personal information?
Personal information is information that identifies you.
That could include:
- full name
- address
- phone numbers
- usernames and passwords
- business details
- date of birth
- email address
- bank details
Some information is information you would ordinarily treat as particularly private or confidential, such as credit card details, usernames and passwords. Other information, such as your name and email address, can still be used inappropriately, so it is important to understand how a company intends to use your information and what you are agreeing to when you provide your information.
Think twice before you give personal information online
Many online services ask for personal information in order to use their service. Before you provide personal information, think about what could be done with it.
Typically, you'll be asked to give personal information when you're:
To verify your identity, process payment and deliver the goods.
A username or ID and an email address are usually necessary, and sometimes age, gender, address, photo and personal likes or dislikes. A red asterisk * usually identifies mandatory fields for registering.
Online competitions often ask for information that's highly personal, such as personal interests and details about age and location. The promoters use this information to develop their marketing strategies or products.
Before play can begin, online games regularly require registration details, including personal information. If you're uncomfortable about the amount of information being requested, check with the website owner.
Security software
Security software can prevent spyware from tracking you online, reducing your risk of identity theft. To be safe, we recommend installing anti-virus and antispyware software. Telstra has a number of security solutions for both your broadband and mobile needs. Viruses and spyware are constantly being updated, so it's important to update your security apps too.
Is the website secure?
Never send credit card or bank account details, tax file numbers, passwords or other personal information across the internet unless you're on a secure website. Secure websites have web addresses beginning with https:// and a 'locked' padlock symbol at the bottom of the screen, which show that data is being encrypted. If you're not sure whether a website is secure, call the organisation. And when you call, don't use phone numbers on the website or in emails you've received from them. Use a known phone number or one you got from a reputable source such as the White Pages® or Yellow Pages®.
Read the small print
It's not most people's idea of a good read, but it's important nonetheless to read user agreements and privacy policies to see how your personal information might be used in the future. Many organisations use information for marketing and sometimes sell it to other marketers.
Don't give clues in your email address
Be careful about the information you share when setting up an email account. For example, if your name was Phillip Smith and you were born in 1964, email@example.com discloses your full name and contains clues to your age, unlike email@example.com which is much harder to decipher.
What goes online, stays online
Once you've posted information online it can be difficult to retract and you may not have control over who sees or accesses that information. If you're joining an online community, make sure you read and understand the privacy policies and apply any settings preferences about sharing information and images.
Choose passwords carefully
- Use at least eight characters in the password
- Mix letters, numbers and upper and lower case letters and include characters (*&#) if the site allows
- Change your password often
- Consider using a password manager to create and manage strong passwords for each different account you use online.
- Using birth dates or the names of family and friends
- Sharing passwords with anyone
- Keeping passwords on the device.
Location-based services
Smartphones have in-built features called geolocators that can give your exact location. Your whereabouts can be shared on social media or used by location services such as maps and public transport apps.
Your position can also be embedded in images you take with your phone's camera. You might not always want the world to know where you are, so if you don't need to share your location simply switch off the location services feature in your mobile and/or app settings.
Practical safety steps
- Think twice before giving your personal details online
- Read online privacy policies
- Install security software or apps
- Only give financial details on secure websites
- Use a separate email account for subscribing to online services and groups
- Don't trust emails that ask for your personal details
- Choose passwords carefully and change them regularly.

And back at BASE Camp offices we ...
Jupiter to Winter Park
... dike. The only place I could see the lake, which is MASSIVE like a great lake, was when passing over a bridge with what looked like a lock connecting the lake with a canal. I passed by thousands of acres of farms and cattle ranches. I was fortunate to miss the many pop up thunderstorms. There was a little spitting just south of Orlando but I was able to ride through. I rode a little over 200 miles today after ...

Disneyworld - day 2
... go check in to our new hotel for the next evening. The next hotel was a universal studios affiliated hotel and was right by the universal studios park.

We decided to drop our stuff off and go to the pool area so Owen could cool down and have some fun. He played for about an hour with Larry and some other kids while I relaxed on a beach chair and Ernie ...

MS Ramaiah Medical College, Bangalore, India
SESSION TYPE: Pediatric Pulmonology Posters
PRESENTED ON: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the reasons for non-vaccination and magnitude of missed opportunities for vaccination in children in a suburban town in India despite availability of free immunization against six vaccine-preventable diseases (VPD) under the Universal Immunization Program (UIP) launched in 1985.
METHODS: We conducted a cross sectional study of all children presenting to a Primary Health Clinic in B.K. Nagar, Bangalore, from 5-1-2011 to 5-31-2011. We interviewed 50 mothers of children under 16 years of age regarding vaccination with BCG, DTP, OPV, and measles under the UIP. Our questionnaire focused on demographics, immunization status (card or mother's report), reasons for missed vaccinations, beliefs of parents toward immunization, awareness of available optional immunizations, and adverse effects. Children were considered fully immunized if they received BCG, DPT, OPV, and measles, as unimmunized if they received none of these vaccines, and partially immunized if immunization was not complete.
RESULTS: Of the 50 children enrolled during the study period, 40 (80%) received complete immunization while 10 (20%) received partial immunization until the age of 10 years. Between 10-16 years, however, 24 (48%) were unimmunized. 19 (40%) parents were unaware that tetanus toxoid (TT) boosters were required at ages 10 and 16 and never received instructions. 24 (48%) were unaware that TT boosters were required every 5 years. The parents themselves were unimmunized. All parents were aware of the need and importance of vaccination. Financial constraints prevented availing of optional immunizations in 84 % parents. No parents expressed concerns about adverse effects.
CONCLUSIONS: Although the UIP is able to achieve its objective of providing universal immunization coverage in BK Nagar until age 10 years, it is unable to maintain vaccination thereafter. Despite availability of vaccines and trained field personnel, the problem is ineffective social mobilization and parental unawareness of the schedules. There were no concerns about the need for or the quality of vaccines.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: VPD can be significantly reduced by ensuring adequate surveillance, monitoring to detect unimmunized children, and education of parents regarding immunization shedules.

So, not only will you be building wealth for your retirement, but you'll also be paying less tax. Want to know more?
Watch our video (2.33) to hear Fabian from AMP talk about three different ways you can gain tax concessions and boost your super savings.
We're here to help
For more information:
- Understand more about the tax advantages of super
- Find out about the other ways you can save on tax when you contribute to your super
- Learn about salary sacrifice or try our salary sacrifice calculator to work out how much super you could build over time
- Find an adviser who will explain the options for you.
About this video
Fabian works at AMP. Like most people, he'd rather be paying less in taxes and putting more money aside for the future. He talks about the benefits of superannuation and how it can help you reduce the amount of tax you have to pay and increase your savings for retirement.
Here are three ways you can save on tax through super:
- By salary sacrificing - This is where you ask your employer to put some of your before-tax salary into your super fund, where you generally pay less tax. There are limits to how much you can contribute, but it's worth exploring.
- With after-tax contributions - This is where you can save on tax after the money is invested and growing within your super.
- When you reach preservation age - This is the age when you can cash in your super if you are retired or have started a transition to a retirement income stream.
There are many ways super can reduce the amount of tax you pay. So, if you're keen to put money away for your future, building your super could be a great way to save.
Everyone's situation is different, so consider speaking to a financial adviser about how super can assist you now and also in the long term.
Just keep in mind that this video doesn't take into account your personal circumstances, which you'll need to consider carefully before making any decisions about your super and tax.

Travel Blogs from Berlin
Arrived in Berlin at 1:40 on September 7 after a two hour flight from London. Spent the next several hours locating our room (would have been an hour trip for most folks here). Using German household equipment was a walk down memory lane. Windows open two ways, etc. All of it is a good deal more sturdy than available in the US.
The weather in England was quite poor. We received some rain every day ...
Retail therapy
... Helen is saying no, Louise is saying no (Connor and I are laughing in the backseat). Still the man isn't listening so Louise turns on the windscreen wipers and there is water and foam flying, the wipers are going...and the man finally puts his hands up in defeat and turns towards another car. Thank god - they light is green. We have places to be!!!
And what better way to hang out for the afternoon than a tram ride about the city and some retail ...
Guten Tag from Germany
... centre is home to 180 stores. We only managed to visit maybe 7 shops mainly because 1) we were tired, and 2) the stores were about to close (9pm). We decided on a simple dinner of kebabs and curry wurst. I must say, I kinda like the curry wurst. Doesn't seem that scary or disgusting! Training it back home, we encountered a gypsy and had a funny time trying to alert eachother to get to safety. We'll work on that during the trip :) Time for bed, Gute ...
Berlin to Prague
... and 1.2 million in Prague. Similar to Martin Luther (in German who put up his thesis on a church door and all the things the Catholic Church were doing wrong and broke away and started his own religion), a Czech man named Van Haus, which was much before Luther. People back then were not literate and educated as they were in time of Luther so he was seen as a witch and was burned at the stake. Ice hockey is the most watched sport. Once in the city we had a walking tour to ...
Berlin!! Yes I know Berlin!!!
... truly an unforgettable experience, regardless of whether you were German or not. Definitely a once in a life time opportunity.
More touristy stuff !
After a bit of a sleep in, we went back to the city to do more touristy stuff. Our first stop was the a small exhibit of the Berlin wall near checkpoint Charlie and the location of Hitler's bunker which he comitted suicide in at ...

Altoona Mirror (Newspaper) - December 22, 2001, Altoona, Pennsylvania NATION: V-22 OSPREY TO RESUME TEST FLIGHTS IN THE SPRING ► PAGE Cl Light bulEs can change the mood of a room as well as the lighting The Altoona Mirror presents its Football All-Star Team page DIAltana mirror © Copyright 2001SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2001 500 newsstandChief says PIM may shut down By Jay Young Staff Writer The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association's top man says the 88-year-old organization is exploring the possibility of shutting down, a move that would forever change high school sports in Pennsylvania. President Wally Blucas told the Mirror he informed the association's executive stair this week that the PIAA's chief legal counsel is examining the legal impact of such a move. "We're going to have to look at the worst case scenario," Blucas said Friday. When asked if the PIAA can be saved, Blucas paused. "I don't think I'm in a position to say that's possible, given the recommenda tions turning into mandates and becoming essentially law," he said. Blucas cited as reasons four years of deficits and the ongoing legislative review, partially sparked by the decision to move the 19% football championships from Altoona to Hershey. Blucas comments came a week after a state legislative committee issued its first progress report on PIAA operations since the state Senate ordered annual reviews of the troubled association. The Legislative Budget and Finance Committee found that PIAA spent $8,7 million last year but had revenues of only SH I million and found that it awarded several expensive, noncompetitive contracts, among other problems. Blucas' comments came as a surprise to area leaders, including Altoona's PIAA representative. District 6 representative Stanley Bern declined to comment Friday night because he was unaware of the announcement because a meeting of PIAA board members in which the issue was discussed this week was optional Please see Pl A A/Page A4 WAR ON TERRORISM ► PAGES Cl. C4 Hoaxes net 58 arrests ■ Government issues warning that anthrax threats are violations that won't be tolerated. By Karen Gi'LLo The Associated ITess WASHINGTON — Postal worker Clarence Lindsey allegedly scrawled "ANTHRAX INCLOSED" on a package at his job as a joke, but authorities found no humor in the misspelling or the deed. The Illinois man was indicted and, if convicted, could face up to Five years in jail. Lindsey is one of 58 people nationwide arrested and charged in connection with an thrax hoaxes or threats since the anthrax scare began after Sept. ll, the U.S. Postal Service said. Of the total, 30 face federal charges, 28 state charges. Many are alleged to have taken advantage of the public's fear of the deadly bacteria either to settle a score or pull off a prank. It's no laughing matter, authorities say. "It's kind of like yelling fire in a crowded theater,'' said Dan Mil-halko, postal service inspector. "There's been too many warnings for people to say, 'I was just kidding.'" Five people have been convicted, Milhalko said. He said he did not know the precise sentences, but they were getting jail time and also may face fines. On Friday, the FBI released the names of 14 people charged in what the bureau considered "notable" anthrax hoax cases and added a warning: "We will not tolerate these serious violations of federal law," FBI Director Robert Mueller said. Those arrested for anthrax hoaxes have been charged with obstructing the mail, threatening to use weapons of mass destruction and using the mail to send threatening communications. The maximum penalty carried by each federal charge is five years in jail and a $250,000 fine. Lindsey, 52, of suburban Bellwood, 111., had been a postal worker for 31 years when he was indicted on charges of placing threatening material in the mail.

Combined deer hunting season results in 3 deaths, 12 injuries From Mirror staff and wire reports PITTSBURGH — Pennsylvania's first combined buck- and doe-hunting season in a century had little effect on the number of accidents this year, game officials said Friday. Three people were killed and 12 injured during the two-week hunting season, compared with 19 injuries and one fatality last year, Game Commission spokesman Jerry Teaser said. The average number of accidents during the past seven years was 18 and the average number of fatalities was two. "I'm happy to see the results," said Ray Martin of the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs. "We would like to see it go lower, but it says a lot for our sportsmen and women"' The only hunting accident reported during deer season in this area was in Huntingdon County. Game Commission Regional Supervisor Don Parr said the accident occurred when a passenger in a vehicle driving on state forest lands spotted a deer, left the vehicle and attempted to fire a round at the deer across the roof of the vehicle.

"The mild weather is over," he said. Slightly below normal temperatures are expected through the end of the month, with colder conditions expected in January. The state Public Utility Commission said more than 12,000 Pennsylvanians were without service when the state's gas and electric utilities were sur veyed last week. Most of those residents are in homes heated by natural gas, a commodity that hit high prices last winter. The annual PUC Cold Weather Survey shows 343 disconnected households are served by Dominion Peoples, while another 125 households without service are served by GPU Energy, a FirstEnergy company.

The boss needs to read "The Gift of Fear", specifically the section/chapter titled "Occupational Hazards". If your's and other's instinct tells you to watch out or worry, then I'd trust them. If the boss didn't tell the manager he had made a mistake and to correct it, then the termination is final. No need to drag it out or hear any more of it. It's done, move on, etc.
I'd call in sick that day and if not able to, then I'd be carrying regardless of what the policy dictates. If wanting to be discreet/unnoticeable, I'd carry a snubnose .38 or a pocket .380 loaded with FMJs.

Evolution, ecology, and physiology of animal migration
I work on a broad array of annual movement types in a comparative context to better understand the causes, consequences, and patterns of animal migration. Ongoing rapid changes to global weather patterns and human induced alterations to the environment have resulted in 1) changes in the breeding and wintering ranges of migrants, 2) changes in the optimal timing of migration and 3) in some cases, the occurrence of migration.
Annual movements by animals range on a continuum from year-round residency to long-distance migration. Between these extremes we find a broad range of variation. By probing the physiological, behavioral, morphological, and genetic differences along this continuum, I aim to understand the processes by which migratory populations become sedentary and vice versa. Further, by comparing survival, fecundity, and demography of individuals and populations with different annual movement strategies, I aim to understand ultimate selective pressures that lead to migration and residency.

|Gonad mass in migrant and resident juncos that are sympatric in early spring is predicted by breeding latitude (estimated with feather hydrogen) (Fudickar et al. 2016; The American Naturalist).
Expanding research frontiers in movement ecology: development of technology to study movements of animals in the wild
Currently, with funding from the National Science Foundation and in collaboration with Ellen Ketterson and colleagues in the School of Informatics and Computing at Indiana University, I am working on an integrated research and education project to develop, validate, and deploy new heterogeneous sensor payloads for migration and motion studies of songbirds (20-30g). This project melds novel research in biology, sensor and data fusion, and system design with undergraduate education, including a new laboratory course in computer science (CS) and undergraduate research experiences for both CS and biology students. Important outcomes include 1) novel biology, 2) design and programming methodology for, and the design of, novel ultra low-energy sensor payloads, and 3) curricular materials on the design and programming of low- energy embedded systems. While our initial focus is on developing tools for songbird migration research, the products of this research agenda are widely applicable across taxa for studies of animal movements.

Integrating migration research with education and outreach
Migratory animals in general, and birds in particular, amaze and engage the public, promoting broader participation and interest in science. The Kent Farm Banding Station (KFBS) is a facility that engages students and the public in avian migration research via hands on activities. In collaboration with Ellen Ketterson, in 2015 I established KFBS to provide research and education opportunities that advance knowledge to help protect the billions of migratory animals that offer global to local ecosystem services and ecological engagement. KFBS is a multipurpose field station with a large meeting room that serves as a classroom. It is housed in a recently repurposed facility on a 90-acre forested property belonging to the IU Research and Teaching Preserve. Since opening in October 2015, students and scientists across multiple departments at IU have utilized KFBS for education and outreach.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Republican presidential candidate John McCain had his own German experience Thursday — at a restaurant in Ohio. He asserted that he was happy to devote his time this week to touring the nation's heartland rather than Europe and the Middle East.
"I'd love to give a speech in Germany. But I'd much prefer to do it as president of the United States rather than as a candidate for president," McCain told reporters after a meal of bratwurst with local business leaders at Schmidt's Sausage Haus und Restaurant in Columbus' German Village neighborhood.
As Barack Obama delivered a high-profile speech in Berlin, McCain said he was focusing his attention this week on economic issues, including soaring food and fuel costs. He has been busy campaigning and raising funds in key battleground states like Ohio.
In what was clearly not a coincidence, McCain spoke with reporters shortly before Obama began his speech at Berlin's Victory Column.
At the same time, The Republican National Committee was running anti-Obama ads in Berlin, Pa., and other namesake villages in Wisconsin and New Hampshire.
McCain is trying hard to get attention during Obama's week abroad. He had planned to visit an offshore oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday, but rough seas leftover from Hurricane Dolly caused him to scrub that trip. He was to appear with famed cyclist Lance Armstrong later Thursday at a town-hall meeting here that is focused on cancer. And on Friday, he'll meet with the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader, in Aspen, Colo.
He said he regretted not being able to make the trip to the drilling rig, a visit intended to emphasize his support for Congress lifting the ban on offshore drilling.
"I'm sorry Congress is gridlocked again on offshore drilling," McCain said. "When I'm president, we'll all sit down together and work this out."

Title: Iambic Pentameter
Pairing: Annabeth Schott/ Ainsley Hayes The West Wing.
Rating: R
Archive: the usual suspects, everyone else ask.
Summary: Ainsley's never been very good at not talking, and the situation with Annabeth isn't helping. This is a sequel of sorts to "Vertically Challenged" and will make a great deal more sense is you read that first.
A/N: I was going to leave it be, I swear, and then muppetmanda gave me this image…so this one is her fault. I have never written Ainsley, and I'm not sure how true to her character this will but, but the muse demanded. So I answered.
Ainsley Hayes talked. When she was nervous or uncomfortable, she communicated...at length. It was an unfortunate habit that she had long striven to rid herself of. It had taken her years, and a position in That White House, but the young lawyer thought she had finally conquered the damnable trait of speaking in iambic pentameter when flustered. And then Leo died and she had awoken, back in That White House (which was forever in capitals in her mind) hungover, with a beautiful blonde press liaison sleeping on top of her, on said press liasion's couch. And once again she found herself giving Shakespeare a run for his money.
It hadn't started right away. In fact, That Morning, there had been few words at all.
Never one to black out or forget just because she had had a few drinks, it nevertheless took Ainsley a moment to come to terms with her situation when she opened her eyes in the early hours of the new day. And when she did, her first reaction – she sternly told herself – was panic. She had made a huge mistake. An understandable one – they had both been lonely and grieving and looking for some, any, small measure of comfort and understanding, and they were both short, which gave them a bond – but it was still a mistake.
That her body welcomed the feeling of Annabeth's slight weight and soft skin against her own was something Ainsley chose steadfastly to ignore.
Their leave taking had been nearly silent, filled with downcast eyes and too much awareness of the other's proximity. The only sounds were the rustling of cloth and strained queries about misplaced shoes.
Ainsley told herself she deserved it – that the tension she felt was her punishment for making such a potentially disastrous decision. Twitching her jacket into place and smoothing her hair back, however, she looked up and caught Annabeth's eyes. The smaller woman was standing next to her desk, fully dressed in her own tailored black suit. With her makeup gone, the severe color made the press liaison look younger, vulnerable, and Ainsley felt a fierce longing to simply wrap Annabeth back into her arms where she knew she would fit like they were made for each other.
Instead she opened her mouth, then closed it; for once totally at a loss for words. Finally, she nodded briefly, then turned and – checking to make sure no one was around – strode resolutely from That Office. That one second however, had made it abundantly clear that the tension she had felt was in no way the result of panic.
Despite the pall that Leo's death cast over the Capitol – even the Republicans couldn't find it in them to celebrate the death of a man who had truly given his entire life to his country – life, and politics, went on. Ainsley did her best to move forward but no matter how she tried to dive back into the swirling, rushing, often murky waters of the Nation's business, she was unable to forget That Night.
It was like a conspiracy.
If it wasn't seeing Annabeth on TV, poised and bright as a spokesperson for the Santos Campaign, it was her own wandering memory bringing back the nearly visceral sensation of delicate hands cupping her breasts; of a teasing tongue tracing her collarbone and wandering down her chest; of deep blue eyes filled with understanding; of being held while she cried and having her tears kissed sweetly away.
The images never failed to affect her, and more than one evening in the weeks following, Ainsley Hays found herself alone at her desk, on the verge of tears and deeply, achingly aroused as her vivid recollection of That Night replayed behind her eyes. As the weeks went by, it went from occasionally aggravating distraction to potential disaster as even her sleep was infiltrated, and her co-workers began to notice her exhausted state.
For a time, Ainsley was able to attribute it to Leo's death. After all, he had been her mentor and champion at That White House, and even the other Republicans understood that kind of loyalty.
When three weeks passed, however, and she found herself tuning out long winded tirades on Democratic spending in favor of reminiscing about the look on Annabeth's face when Ainsley had slid gently into her silky heat, she knew it had to stop. Now.
Which is how she discovered that her old nemesis of babbling in verse had not, in fact, been vanquished.
Ainsley had been quite proud of the way she had handled the situation. She had called the switchboard, spoken to the correct people, gone through the right channels, and scheduled a meeting with Deputy White House Communications Director/ Assistant to the Santos Campaign for one of the rare times Ms. Annabeth Schott would be back in That White House. All of course without actually speaking to Ms. Schott. That would have been impossible over the phone. Some things just had to be dealt with in person. Some nuances of communication could only be conveyed face to face.
Now she was here, in the room where they had spent That Night. The blinds were drawn, the door was locked, it was late evening and the halls were quiet outside the door, and Ainsley Hayes could not, for the life of her, find the eloquence she so desperately needed.
"This cannot, of course, happen. I am a Republican," she asserted as she paced back and forth, as if that explained everything. Maybe she was hoping it would, but one look at Annabeth, at those lambent, sparkling, knowing blue eyes and that sensuous mouth that had…No, she could not go there. She had to be rational about this and explain it to Annabeth, because obviously, this could. Not. Happen.
Annabeth was sitting primly on the edge of her desk, the desk that she had…No she could not go there either.
"I cannot do this!" Ainsley was horrified to hear her voice rise in such an unseemly manner. And still Annabeth didn't seem to understand. She simply sat quietly, her legs crossed at the ankle and her hands folded in her lap with her head cocked slightly and a mildly interested look on her face.
"We aren't doing anything," the press liaison pointed out calmly, one perfect eyebrow arched, and Ainsley had to repress the urge to scream, because deep down, she knew that the other woman was right. This wasn't a "them" problem, this was a "her" problem, and she was in so, so much trouble because deep down, Ainsley Hayes also knew that if she stopped talking, if she let go of that last, flimsy defense that she threw at the world, she would walk across this room in two strides, take Annabeth's face in her hands and kiss the smaller woman senseless.
"Currently no, you are correct. We are, in fact, not doing anything. That isn't what I was referring to," Ainsley was floundering. "I was referring to the situation, well the encounter really," if her tongue got any more tangled she was going to tear her hair out.
Spinning on her heel to continue her pacing, Ainsley was brought to a sudden stop by a new obstacle. Annabeth was suddenly directly in her path, hands on her slim hips and a very serious look on her delicate features.
Ainsley blinked.
Annabeth smiled, and the last thought that managed to make its way through the Republican's brain before Annabeth took her face in her hands and pressed impossibly soft lips against her own, was that the expression in the smaller woman's eyes was almost predatory.
And then she wasn't thinking at all, because Annabeth's tongue was parting her lips and sliding gently into her mouth and Ainsley was tangling her fingers in that satin fall of gold hair and she had to admit that the reality was so, so much better than all her memories these last weeks.
"Now, what, exactly is it that you think you can't do?" Annabeth murmured, her normally sharp voice gone soft and husky and sending chills up Ainsley's spine.
"I…have no idea," she sighed and then kissed Annabeth again.
They made love slowly, taking time to learn each other's bodies without the fog of alcohol and grief that had clouded their senses That Night. And they made love silently. Words, Ainsley instinctively understood, were not for this. Words were for denial or explanation, for all the reasons this was a bad idea and for all the people beyond the locked door. Their silence they gave to each other and let their bodies speak unhindered.
As Annabeth's lips and tongue traced meaningless, wonderful patterns on Ainsley's skin and her fingers drove the lawyer over the edge, Ainsley found Annabeth's eyes and understood, in the moment that her world dissolved, that some things could only be communicated perfectly without speaking.

Vigil held for 9-year-old Leo Walker
by: Deanna Bettineschi Updated:
LIVE OAK, Fla. - More than 100 people came together to remember9-year-old Leo Walker. He was a special needs child who was found dead in a swamp in Live Oak.
"Even those of us who didn't know Leo were affected by why had happened," said neighbor Khrystie Wickham.
Live Oak Police Chief Buddy Williams who was a part of the search for Leo, and has a special needs child himself, says the community was able to turn a tragic event into one of awareness.
"There are positives that can come out of this public awareness towards autistic children and other special needs adults," said Walker.
Right before the community blew out their candles and let their balloons into the sky, Leo's aunt read a speech from Leo's mom.
"If I knew today was the last day I'd hear your words, I would hold you forever and tell you how much I love you."
