Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who.
A/N: This version of Jenny is a little bit lost.
River stopped; bent forward and clutched her knees, breathing heavily. She'd shaken off her pursuers, finally; surprisingly tenacious lot, they'd been. She kept herself from sprawling on the ground by pulling at some shreds of dignity (she really didn't want to pass out in another alley), and straightened, ignoring a jab of pain in her side. That had been a good run.
The comfortable, far-away-enough sounds of the night were overshadowed by a noise much too close. Clapping. Quite enthusiastic clapping. River spun around, had her gun loaded and aimed in one fluent motion. "This better not be some sort of trap..."
A young woman, very blonde and very smiling, sat on a rubbish bin near the entrance/exit to the alleyway, effectively blocking it. "That was amazing," she said, apparently unfazed by the weapon. "You're very good at running."
"Who are you?"
"I'm not one of those soldiers," said the woman, and dangled her legs. She wore knickerbockers, paired with the most garish blue-on-red swirl-patterned tights. "You confused them. It was funny."
"Funny? Have you been watching me?"
"Yes." The woman stared at her, her eyes not straying to the gun even once. She smiled. Stared some more.
"Right…" River was annoyingly aware that she was covered in sweat; that her hair had fallen out of its restraints and was plastered across her forehead and neck and halfway down her arms; and that no matter how well she could keep the breathlessness out of her voice, her chest was still heaving. "Do you actually wantsomething?"
"You don't have to hurry. They're a long way from here."
Even if that were true, River couldn't waste time chatting in alleys. "I'm off. Take care." She smiled tightly and turned her back on the woman. There was something decidedly uncomfortable about her. Not dangerous-uncomfortable, just… a-bit-odd-uncomfortable. She kept her gun primed anyway.
She walked briskly to get rid of some annoying twinges in her calf muscles. She needed to work out some more before her next run. The alleyway was long and straight, and when she had taken exactly two hundred steps, she glanced over her shoulder – the woman followed her leisurely, at a distance of about fifty steps, carrying a large bag. River frowned, uneasy.
Fifty steps, a corner, and another fifty steps later there was a fence in the way. Who put a twenty feet high wrought-iron fence in the middle of an alley? And locked its gate? Only in the 22nd century… River quickly decided it would be faster to climb the fence than pick the lock – and that she didn't want to while this woman followed her.
She turned her back on the fence, and waited for her admirer to catch up.
The tights and the knickerbockers weren't enough, River realised when the woman was fifteen feet or so away – what had looked like a perfectly normal white shirt when she had been sitting down, was, when she stood, obviously about ten sizes too big for her, and coupled with some sort of martial arts belt.
"Can't get through?" the woman asked, loudly, and with a touch of disappointment.
"Why are you following me?"
"I thought you might run again." That, also, sounded like a disappointed statement rather than a threat.
"Not right now."
"Let me open the gate!" the woman exclaimed, with sudden enthusiasm – and before River could answer, she had reached into her bag and pulled out a very large gun.
River surreptitiously placed a finger on the trigger of her own weapon, just in case (it had somehow locked itself irrevocably in the stun mode during her last trip in the TARDIS, and was thus useless at opening doors.) "It's really overkill to disintegrate half the alley."
The woman gave a small smile, aimed the very large gun at the lock, pressed the trigger – and the mechanism gave a small click and the gate swung open. "It's not a weapon anymore. I discovered I'm good with technology." She stepped through the gateway. "What's your name?"
"River Song."
"That's a pretty name. I like it." She turned and smiled dazzlingly.
River followed her through. "You?"
"Jenny. Jenny Echo." There was a flash of something like pain in her eyes – but it faded almost instantly, and the smile returned.
"You're not from this time. At least, your weapon's not."
"I don't suppose I am. You're not either."
"Obviously. How did you get here?"
"Asked a woman with a time-manipulator on her wrist if I could come."
"You hitched a ride through the vortex? That's incredibly dangerous!" River couldn't quite keep the impressed note out of her voice.
"I can take care of myself. I'm exploring the Universe." She sniffed, stuffed the not-weapon back into the bag and slung that over her shoulder. "Last week I wrestled a swamp monster. It was brilliant."
"Sounds lovely."
"You've got a manipulator in your left pocket. Let me come."
River narrowed her eyes. "I don't take passengers, sorry."
Jenny pouted, a little. Looked suddenly a bit forlorn and a bit small and a lot out of place. "I would. I would take as many people with me as I could."
"You can't possibly have liked travelling through the vortex?"
Jenny frowned; thin wrinkles appeared between her brows. At the same time colour rose in her cheeks. "It was wonderful!" She pressed both hands to her chest. "The most wonderful thing I've ever done. And now I've seen this place! I want another!"
River suppressed a sigh. "There's something I have to do before I can even think about leaving. You might be able to help me. Depending on the outcome, we could discuss you coming along when I leave… if I leave."
Jenny nodded, much too bright-eyed. She didn't even ask what they were going to do.

Lexi Belle isn't just young and hot. She's so ready for you, even the mold of her pussy is spreading itself open for you. This pocket vagina, made directly from the body of porn superstar Lexi Belle, has "inviting" written all over it, as the fingers on the end simulate Lexi making sure you have enough room to enter a tight space. Once you're inside, you'll find yourself pushing through that tight space with all the right kinds of textures, all with the single goal of giving you a huge climax.
Small enough to fit in your pocket, but big enough to fit you, this Doc Johnson product is made from UR3 material, the most lifelike material on the market. UR3 is stretchable, soft and fleshy to the touch, and simulates Lexi's real thing like nothing else. The material also provides you an easy grip, for those moments when you really want to grab it hard. On the other hand, if you'd rather Lexi grab YOU hard, simply put your finger over the end for extra suction.
For the best experience, make sure to soak this toy in warm water before use – you want to make sure it's hot and wet, right? Make sure you also apply an appropriate amount of water-based lube, for the best feeling you can get. Lexi Bell's pocket pussy mold is antibacterial and easy to clean, so you don't have to worry too much when you're done, and she'll be ready for you next time.

"... Our kids are going to be fine. And I always tell Malia and Sasha, look, you guys, I don't worry about you . . . they're on a path that is going to be successful, even if the country as a whole is not successful. But that's not our vision of America. I don't want an America where my kids are living behind walls and gates, and can't feel a part of a country that is giving everybody a shot..." President Obama (Capitol Commentary)
"...It's time for us to refocus and make sure that we understand that 'change we can believe in' was never going to be change overnight," Obama said at the glitzy Gotham Bar and Grill in the East Village, where donors forked over $25,800 each to hobnob with the commander-in-chief…

Shimano XT RD M8000 Rear Derailleur
The big news for Deore XT this year is its new M8000 11 speed drivetrain. This, of course, isn't the only upgrade for the most trusted drivetrain in cycling. The new derailleur also boasts an easy to adjust chain stabilizer and a new Shadow design with optimized slant for more stable positions in any gear. Shimano claims that shifting requires 20% less effort with the new design, and less is good.If you're still using traditional hanger, the RD M8000 comes with a link installed so it's backward compatible. The direct mount, however, eliminates the need for the link, effectively reducing flex, wear, and weight all good things to mountain bikers. On compatible frames, the system also allows easier wheel changes with thru axles. Another big change is the stabilizer switch trickled down from XTR and Saint derailleurs.When engaged, this switch helps to eliminate chain slap and dropped chains by increasing spring tension. This is a valuable option for suspension systems that require chainstays and pivots located close to the rear derailleur. The RD M8000 retains all the last models improvements, including the direct cable path. Your shift housing can enter the stop on the derailleur without the traditional loop of excess housing that often was the victim of contamination and a source of poor performance.Shimano uses tried and true aluminum components in the XT derailleurs. All of the knuckles, linkage plates, and cage sides are made from it. So while it may lack the wow factor of the carbon fiber laden XTR Shadow, it's more affordable, and if you've been running XT derailleurs as long as we have, you'll know that you'll get plenty of mileage out of it.

I grow Mesmerizer which is also my favorite. I also like Lacy
Snowflake. Then I have a very lacy white unknown which has the faint
dab of violet Linda spoke of. It is a late blooming iris which extends
my growing season and a very reliable bloomer. I only wish I knew it's
name. It was in a group of test irises I grew many years ago.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials.
A cozy fleece or sweatshirt that you don't mind glueing feathers on!
Coordinating felt pieces
one or two feather dusters (one would be enough feathers, but I wanted two colours)
fabric for owl hat; jersey/t-shirt material fits best, as it has some stretch. I used velvet & was a bit finicky, but I made it work
(*also pictured are some stretchy onion bags that I didn't end up using as well as a sequined purse that ended up being a dismal and disappointing failure, but that led to the felt and that ended up better in the long run! So please disregard those items, lol)
sewing machine (and some basic sewing skills)
hot glue gun
scissors & thread
tape measure and/or your child's head measurements
I spent 69cents each on four colours of felt and the feather dusters were $3.79 each. Everything else was stuff I already had. This is a very inexpensive costume and went together very quickly.
Step 2: Make Your Owl Hat.
In the second photo, I've cut out some felt for the eyes. I like the anime look. It's kind of stylized, but then, it is a royal blue and orange owl. You aren't going to find this owl in any field guide, so I wasn't too concerned with realism!
I've also cut out a triangle for the beak.
Step 3: Sew on the Eyes.
I started with the whites, then the iris, then the little white Pac-man in the centre. I did one eye completely before starting the other one. I didn't have to cut the thread in between, just pop the next eye part on and keep sewing.
Sew on the beak. Cute, no?
Step 4: Finish the Hat.
Hem the bottom edge of the hat. Fold your hat over, right sides together, and sew up the side and the ear tufts and across the top. Before turning right side out, snip the excess off the ear tips so that you will get a really pointy point when you turn them out. I also stuffed a bit of batting in each ear so they would stick up.
I added a touch of elastic at the back of the hat to keep it snug around the little one's head. You can skip this step. I could have too, as this hat fit him like a second skin.
Wrangle your kid into the hat to be sure it doesn't need any tweaking. You may need some goldfish crackers to successfully complete this step.
Step 5: Cut Out Your Felt Feathers.
Step 6: Create Some Dimension.
Step 7: Glue Those Bad Boys Down.
Step 8: Break Apart Your Feather Duster(s)
Step 9: Start Feathering Your Sleeves.
I started at the cuff and hot-glued feathers on one at a time, alternating colours. I left the area under his arm free of feathers, as they'd just get agitated and start to molt.
This went very quickly. Finish one sleeve & do the other.
Step 10: Try This Cute Costume on Your Little One!
Try it on and see how it looks. I don't know who-whoo-who could be cuter! He's got some orange shorts and leggings and he's ready to trick or treat. Happy Halloween!

As seen in the Nobody Hikes in L.A. Guidebook!
Text and photography copyright 2010 by David W. Lockeretz, all rights reserved. Information and opinions provided are kept current to the best of the author's ability. All readers hike at their own risk, and should be aware of the possible dangers of hiking, walking and other outdoor activities. The author does not take any responsibility for injuries sustained during hikes or walks on the routes described here. Check the informational links provided for up to date trail condition information.
Devil's Chair from the South Fork Campground
The Devil's Chair can be reached from the west, via the Burkhardt Trail, or from the east, starting at the South Fork Campground. This approach is slightly more challenging, and doesn't get quite as close to the crazy geology of the Punchbowl, but its isolated location sees fewer crowds.
From the campground, follow the signed trail heading toward the hills and begin a steep switchbacking ascent. After about a mile, you arrive at a saddle and begin a descent into Holcomb Canyon. Almost immediately, the trail climbs steeply out of the canyon, eventually reaching the signed spur to the Devil's Chair. Beyond the spur, the trail continues, eventually meeting up with the Burkhardt Trail.
The descent to the Devil's Chair can be a little nerve-wracking, but the final approach–where the slopes fall on both sides–is fenced in. From the Chair, you get great aerial views of the Devil's Punchbowl.
In addition to the hike from the Burkhardt Trail and the Devil's Punchbowl Natural Area parking lot, the Punchbowl can also be reached by a point-to-point hike (as outlined in "Afoot & Afield Los Angeles County.")

Depending on the project, students may undertake litigation and advocacy work by drafting briefs, preparing testimony, conducting research, developing strategy for regulatory reform and/or litigation, commenting on proposed regulations, and/or drafting model legislation. The Clinic does much of its work on behalf of government and public interest clients or in partnership with public interest entities. The Clinic offers students a multi-disciplinary experience and welcomes students from other Harvard schools (and MIT) to cross-register.
During 2014-2015, the Clinic has continued its unique work assisting Massachusetts municipalities with their efforts to adapt to climate change, including the drafting of policies and regulations and providing legal support for innovative energy solutions (i.e., microgrids). The Clinic submitted several briefs in significant cases involving cutting edge questions about energy and environmental policies, including two amicus briefs filed in the U.S. Supreme Court - one on behalf of a nonprofit organization defending EPA's regulations limiting mercury emissions from power plants (State of Michigan v. Environmental Protection Agency), and another on the benefits of enabling demand response resources in wholesale energy markets (FERC et al. v. Electric Power Supply Association). The Clinic wrote a brief to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on behalf of the National Trust for Historic Preservation regarding protection of a dam in the Lowell National Historical Park and two briefs in the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court regarding the environmental justice and water management implications of a proposed power plant. In addition, the Clinic provided advice to several non-profit organizations involved in administrative proceedings concerning proposed gas pipelines and electric transmission lines, and drafted comments on administrative proposals for revamping New York State's electric power distribution system, the transportation of crude oil by rail, and offshore oil drilling in the Arctic. The Clinic also produced a variety of innovative materials to assist religious institutions, children and adults to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. These materials have been distributed broadly to schools, Registries of Motor Vehicles, and news media. The Clinic updated its popular Landowner's Guide to Hydraulic Fracturing.

Governance Innovations for Sustainable Development: Building Public-Private Partnerships in India
Under the direction of Rohini Pande, the Sustainability Science Program Governance Innovation for Sustainable Development team uses rigorous field studies to examine how public-private partnerships can enable smart policy design and raise efficiency and compliance with environmental standards. It explores ways to reduce emissions at low cost using market-based mechanisms, such as adjusting the incentives of environmental auditors, increasing transparency, designing technologies to feed emissions readings directly to regulators, and designing emission trading systems. The team's pilot project, designed to produce more accurate audit reports and lower pollution emissions, demonstrated that that it is having a real impact when Gujarat's Pollution Control Authority approved environmental audit reforms in January 2015. The team's highly cited article in Economic and Political Weekly (listed in the Publications section, below, under first author Pande)estimates that 660 million people, over half of India's population, live in areas that exceed air quality standards for fine particulate pollution; argues that reducing pollution in these areas to achieve the standard would increase life expectancy for these Indians by 3.2 years on average for a total of 2.1 billion life years; and outlines directions for environmental policy to begin achieving these gains. In July 2014 the team organized the policy dialogue, "Economic Growth and Environmental Protection through Evidence-based Policy," an event held in Delhi that featured ongoing partnerships with India's Ministry of Environment and Forests, the Central Pollution Control Board, and three State Pollution Control Boards.

Innovation and Access to Technologies for Sustainable Development
With leadership from William Clark and Laura Diaz Anadon and an international team of collaborators, this initiative seeks to advance knowledge and understanding of how to equitably improve the functioning of the "global innovation system" for sustainable development technologies. To this end, researchers carried out 18 case studies of how the current system functions to meet five sustainable development needs (food, energy, health, manufactured goods, and water). Based on these studies, the Initiative is developing assessments of the efficacy of various "system interventions" (e.g., policy interventions, institutional innovations, new approaches to shaping the innovation process) intended to strengthen the global innovation system. The broader aim is to shape practical policy recommendations that draw from, and are generalizable across, multiple sectors. Preliminary results of the Initiative had been summarized in a working paper. Journal papers reporting final results are now being prepared focused on the following topics (1) the role of transnational actors, (2) a more comprehensive model of innovation, (3) the role of socio-technical characteristics, and (4) concrete implications for the role of policy to reorient innovation systems to contribute to sustainable development. A policy workshop presenting the Initiative's findings is scheduled for the spring of 2016. (William Clark, Initiative Leader; Laura Diaz Anadon, Kira Matus, and Suerie Moon, Co-Directors)

(Joseph Aldy, Faculty Director)ector)
Science, Technology and Public Policy Program
The Science, Technology and Public Policy Program (STPP) is a research, teaching and outreach program of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School.Solutions to many of the world's most challenging problems involve complex scientific and technological issues. Good policy making in these areas requires access to the frontier of scientific knowledge, not simply to translate scientific information, but to bring an appreciation for the potential and the limitations of scientific understanding, blending scientific insights with those from other relevant disciplines including economics and politics. From the nuclear negotiations with Iran to privacy concerns about big data, current events remind us how scientific knowledge has become essential to good policy making, whether at local, national, or international scales.
Bringing science and technology into the design of public policy has been the tradition and the objective of the Program on Science, Technology, and Public Policy (STPP) at Harvard Kennedy School for nearly four decades. Founded by the late Harvey Brooks, STPP has earned an international reputation for integrating scientific expertise with practical experience in politics and policy. Past leaders of the program, including John Holdren, science advisor to President Obama, and Venkatesh Narayanamurti, former dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, have developed research groups focused on critical issues of national security, energy, and climate, including nuclear proliferation and energy technology innovation. Under the new direction of Dan Schrag, STPP continues to contribute to the unique role that Harvard Kennedy School plays in the broader university, "training public leaders, and generating ideas that provide solutions to our most challenging public problems."

Sustainable Development of the Amazon and its Surrounding Regions: The Interplay of Changing Climate, Hydrology, and Land Use
Under the direction of Paul Moorcroft, in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, this Sustainability Science Program team is studying the long-term sustainability of the Amazon's water cycle and hydropower development in the context of global climate change and agricultural expansion in the region. The team is looking at the implications of these two agents of environmental change for planning hydropower development in the Tapajos River Basin, a region where many dams are being planned as part of the Brazilian Energy Expansion Plan. If seasonal water levels decline, as the team has forecast, electricity producers will need to draw power from coal-fired power plants rather than hydropower, causing higher greenhouse gas emissions than are forecast. The team held a workshop in November 2015 in Brasilia where they presented and discussed the implications of the research on hydropower development and agricultural expansion. The workshop was hosted by the Ministry of Environment and included participants from Brazilian regulatory agencies (the National Water Agency, National Electricity Agency, and the Ministry of the Environment), The World Bank, and The Nature Conservancy. (Paul Moorcroft, Initiative Leader)
Sustainable Development of the Energy Sector in China
Under the direction of Henry Lee, this Sustainability Science Program initiative is addressing the environmental implications of energy policies in China and the challenges posed by energy initiatives for environmental policy. Research is focused on the electric, transport, and industrial sectors, and analysis of the economic and administrative impacts of policies and technologies, including cap and trade, alternative fueled vehicles, investment incentives, renewable energy options, promotion of carbon capture and sequestration, and clean energy technology development and deployment. The team's publications include an article on how regional targets and improved market mechanisms could allow China's carbon dioxide emissions to peak by 2030 (in Nature 2015, first author, Liu, "Climate Policy: Steps to China's Carbon Peak") and an article on the water-carbon trade-off of China's coal power industry (in Environment, Science and Technology 2014, first author, Zhang, "The Water-Carbon Trade-off of China's Coal Power Industry.") A workshop was convened with colleagues at Tsinghua University in Beijing in June 2015 to discuss government investments in energy R&D, the impact of policy on private sector innovation in energy, and the management of publicly funded R&D organizations. Plans are underway to hold a follow up event in spring 2016. (Henry Lee, Initiative Leader)
The Water-Energy Nexus
ETIP researchers are pursuing research related to the complex interactions between water and energy, focusing on the Middle East, China, and the United States. In the United States, research has examined the interaction of water and energy in renewable fuels, oil sands, and shale gas production. Research on the Middle East focuses on country-specific studies of decisions related to water distribution along with opportunities for increasing the availability of fresh water. For example, in 2014, researchers found that future water availability in arid regions may be assessed by considering key projects that have been identified or planned by regional experts. Work related to China has focused on water allocation case studies and on developing frameworks for understanding regional constraints on water resource availability for use in the energy and industrial sectors and for the potential future development of renewable energy in China. In 2014, the group examined the development of water markets as a solution to water scarcity in China, with particular focus on Water Rights Trading (WRT). Another project examined hydropolitics in large dam construction, water resource allocation, and downstream water pollution. (Laura Diaz Anadon, Faculty Chair)
