This is a beautiful yet provocative and intimately suggestive story of a man lost in modern society with primal instincts.
South Australia (PRWEB) September 17, 2013
In "Sex and the Suburbs" (published by Balboa Press), author E J Mason's new erotic novel, readers join two lost souls as fate pulls them together for an unexpected adventure in intimacy, exploring his fears and her inhibitions.
Readers meet Mr. Smith, a man of great pride and passion who has lost his direction in the pursuit of society's expectations. As he pushes to obtain a greater life through power, control, manipulation and guilt, he finds himself ultimately battling low self-esteem and deep loneliness. "Success has enabled him to buy a house in the suburbs, but what he desires is a home," says Mason, "and someone to share it with."
Readers then meet Ms. Jones, a vibrant woman of outward confidence, who captivates Mr. Smith with her suggestive intelligence and her sexy, sassy and delightful vibe. But, readers soon see that she is hiding her true emotions behind a porcelain exterior. As readers watch these two toy with one other, they quickly find themselves immersed in a vibrant world of erotic and romantic possibilities.
"This is a beautiful yet provocative and intimately suggestive story of a man lost in modern society with primal instincts," says Mason. "Of how modern man loses the romance in his heart due to not only society's expectations but demands of post-feminist manipulative controlling women. Arousing the senses with suggestive insight, confronting and combining loneliness with stimulating pleasure, it represents the pursuit of finding intimacy and sexual desire in a 'keeping up with the Joneses' world. Enjoy."

Apologizing is agonizing work. I know because I do it a lot.My wife Lisa is an amazing person. She has taught me how to apologize. (No, this is not a wife joke.) I'm serious! When I first started needing to apologize to Lisa, she made it clear that she wanted me to actually feel sorry for what I did, which meant that I had to be aware of what I actually did, then make amends and promise to not do it again. Easy: own it; admit it; change it.It seems that half-apologies are becoming more … [Read more...]

Having ended a 12-race drought with a dominant victory in China, Ferrari's Fernando Alonso is quickly emerging as the most likely candidate to end the dominance of Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel.
The two-time Formula One champion has the chance to overtake Vettel in the drivers' championship with a win on Sunday at the Bahrain Grand Prix, a race that has drawn the ire of rights groups who complain it is being held amid a crackdown on anti-government protesters in the divided nation.
Sporadic protests were reported outside the track on Thursday but the circuit's chairman, Zyed Alzayani, said he knew of no threats against the race and was confident it would go off safely.
Four days after his win in the Chinese GP, Alonso spent much of Thursday damping expectations that he was the favourite to win the F1 title in 2013.
"We still don't have the advantage," Alonso said.
"In China, Sebastian was the quickest, but they chose a very strange strategy on Saturday and compromised their race. We need to keep improving and be a little bit faster. We have some new things for this race and some new components for Barcelona and Monaco."
Alonso also said it was too early to be predicting a champion in a 19-race season where the first three have produced different winners - with Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen claiming victory in the season-opening Australian GP and Vettel in Malaysia.
"We saw also last year many surprises and the first three races are more or less to see the potential of everyone," he said.
Vettel admitted the team's strategy in China didn't work after he completed the final lap of qualifying on the harder of two tyre compounds - knowing it would send them down the grid but would allow him to stay out longer than his challengers.
But he said his late charge to nearly catch the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton for third place was a good sign.
"It's not a disaster to be honest," Vettel said.
"We had a pretty strong race."
Vettel said there were "a couple of things we can do better working with tyres, trying to get more range and pace out of them" in a bid to close the gap with Ferrari, which he believed had much better pace than Red Bull in China.
"I think there is no reason why we shouldn't be competitive," said Vettel, who won in Bahrain last year.

A reduction rhinoplasty is your best choice. Non-surgical rhinoplasty, the injection of filler into your nose will only add volume to your already large nose. Make sure that you take the time and effort to choose your rhinoplasty surgeon most carefully. Good luck and be well.

It seems that you are a good candidate for a rhinoplasty that will improve the way your nose looks to complement your facial features in a natural fashion. However, without a physical examination it is not possible to provide you with specific details. I highly recommend that you schedule a consultation with a well-experienced surgeon.
It is important to mention that the finest cosmetic results in any particular case are based on a variety of factors, including: the unique anatomy of the patient, realistic expectations, a well-informed and detailed discussion with your plastic surgeon concerning the best options for you especially covering a deep understanding of the pros and cons of any given choice you will adopt.
Please keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon online who offers to tell you what to do without a physical examination covering the nature and the status of the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative solution would not be in your best interest. With that in mind, it is the safest and for your best interest to find a plastic surgeon with solid experience and certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery who is ideally a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons that you will trust and be comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.
Good luck!!!

[JURIST] Chinese Foreign Ministry [official website, in Chinese] spokesperson Ma Zhaoxu on Friday accused the US [press release] of harming bilateral relations with China after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton [official website], gave a speech [text] promoting Internet freedom and criticizing censorship. Though she did not overtly attack China, Clinton did critique countries that restrict free access of information, declaring that they "risk walling themselves off from the progress of the next century." Clinton also referenced a recent threat by Google [corporate website] to pull out of China [JURIST report], calling on Chinese authorities to conduct a thorough investigation of alleged cyber intrusions and make its findings transparent. Zhaoxu reponded:
The US attacks China's internet policy, indicating that China has been restricting internet freedom. We resolutely oppose such remarks and practices that contravene facts and undermine China-US relations.Google announced its new policy towards China last week in response to a cyber attack on its Gmail service in December. That attack allegedly targeted the e-mail accounts of human rights activists in China, and drew the ire of rights groups around the world. China responded [JURIST report] by reiterating its commitment to open Internet, but stressed that international Internet companies must follow Chinese law. China's stance on Internet freedom, a source of contention in its relationship with Google, has long been controversial. In June, the Chinese government confirmed that filtering software [JURIST report] that is to be sold with every computer in China did not necessarily have to be activated. That confirmation came only after the policy of pre-packaging the software with new computers was challenged [JURIST report] by human rights lawyer Li Fangping.
China's internet is open. China is a country with the most vibrant internet development. By the end of last year, China had 384 million internet users, 3.68 million websites and 180 million blogs. China's Constitution guarantees people's freedom of speech. It is China's consistent policy to promote the development of internet. China has its own national conditions and cultural traditions. It supervises internet according to law, which is in parallel with the international practice.
Hacking in whatever form and offence of others' privacy is prohibited by law in China. As a major victim of hacking in the world, China believes that the international community should intensify the cooperaion in jointly combating internet hacking so as to safeguard internet security and protect the privacy of citizens in accordance with law.
We urge the US to respect facts and stop attacking China under the excuse of the so-called freedom of internet. We hope that the US side can work with China to earnestly implement the consensus between leaders of both countries on developing bilateral relationship in the new era by strengthening dialogue, exchanges and cooperation, respecting each other's core interest and major concerns and properly handling differences and sensitive issues so as to ensure the healthy and stable development of China-US relationship.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anastasia215 from Lightweight Fleece I bought this for my 10 year old son in the camouflage design and he loves this fleecet! We live in SoCal so the lightweight fleece is just perfect for our winter climate to pull on when it gets a bit chilly. He can also layer it nicely under his ski jacket. Added bonus is the option of adding his name in bold orange letters on the front so it doesn't get easily lost in the school's lost and found pile!

My daughter is and average 5 1/2 y/o weighing 40lbs. Would the size 6-7 be too big for her?
We would recommend the size M(6-7). This will allow room for growth without being to big.

Female Rapper at BET Hip Hop Awards: 'Men…Stop Cursing Us Out All The Time'
It seems quite likely most NewsBusters readers have never heard of MC Lyte, but at Tuesday's BET Hip Hop Awards, the female rapper while accepting a legacy award beseeched men to be more respectful of women.
"So stop cursing us out all the time," she said. "Find some love for us somewhere" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
MC LYTE: First, I want to thank BET for this acknowledgement. I am humbled that you see the work that I strive to do each and every day. Thank you, Debra Lee, for being the epitome of grace and strong leadership. Very special, thank you. Thank you to my Momma for pushing me. Thank you Jada for being my little big sister and all the priceless advice that you've given me. And thank you to all my friends and family who have been in my corner.
Men, we are depending on you. We need you to protect us when no one else will. So stop cursing us out all the time, okay? Find some love for us somewhere, God bless. And ladies, I say if you want to be treated like a queen, act like one.
For those unfamiliar, according to our friends at Twitchy, MC Lyte is "the groundbreaking female rapper and gifted lyricist who spread positive messages in the late 1980s about the need for hip hop to respect women."
Sadly, it's clear her message hasn't been heeded.
Will it ever?

Air NZ is the largest shareholder in Virgin, with a 22.9 per cent stake, and it has Foreign Investment Review Board and Australian Competition and Consumer Commission approval to boost its stake by a further 3 per cent as early as December under "creeping provisions".
Virgin chief commercial officer Judith Crompton said the latest deepening of their relationship would provide the airline's customers with more choice when travelling in New Zealand.
'We will continue to actively review our network'
"We are committed to being the alliance of choice across the Tasman and we will continue to actively review our network and schedule to ensure we are meeting the needs of our customers", Ms Crompton said.
Virgin said the trans-Tasman alliance had enabled the two airlines to offer a better choice of flights, improved connection and increased capacity on flights between Australia and New Zealand. Rival
Virgin's other big codeshare partners for global flights include Singapore Airlines, Etihad Airways, Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines and Virgin Atlantic. Singapore and Etihad each have a 19.9 per cent stake in Virgin.

Click Game of the Year 2011 Part 3
Peter Nelis
30 December, 2011
We count down our top 10 games of 2011
On Wednesday we gave you games 10-8
yesterday we gave you games 7-4
and today we give you the final part in our top games of 2011 countdown, including our official 2011 Game of the Year. Read on to find out if your favourite made it...
3) Portal 2 (PS3, Xbox 360 & PC) – Valve
Ah Portal, how we love you. When the original was released back in 2007, it gave gamers a delightful taste of what was to come. Following its success, Valve began work on the sequel, only this time things would be turned up to eleven, and then some.
While the first game was somewhat limited in places, Portal 2 expands upon literally everything in the game universe. We get a few insights into the events that have led to Chell being stuck in the Aperture Science Enrichment Centre as the game begins, plus a whole host of intriguing new information about the history of Aperture itself.
With far more involving puzzles, a massively expanded game world, a genuinely interesting storyline and some serious belly laughs coming from GLaDOS and Wheatley (voiced by Stephen Merchant), Portal 2 blew us away from start to finish. And that's before we even started on the multiplayer aspect of the game. Simply put it's as every bit as good as we had dared to expect, and then some. Let's just hope that we can say the same for Half Life 2: Episode 3... if Gabe and his boys ever get around to it!
2) The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim (PS3, Xbox 360 & PC) – Bethesda
There's not really all that much to say about The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim that we haven't already said over on our monster review starting on page 87, but just in case you needed us to reaffirm it in order to give you the final push needed to pick it up: it's epic. Everything about it from start to finish oozes brilliance. With any project this ambitious there are always going to be a few niggly problems, especially when it comes to bugs, but that's been sorted out for the most part at this stage thanks to Bethesda's busy development team putting everything they have into making sure that the game was patched up and as good as it could possibly be.
There are still a few things that have slipped through the net, but they're so minor in the overall scale of things that they're irrelevant. The only real problem we can see with picking up Skyrim over the Christmas, or in the January sales if you don't already have it is the fact that it's an absolute black hole for time. No sooner will you sit down for a couple of quick missions than you'll realise its four o'clock in the morning and your alarm will be going off in less than three hours. The worrying thing is that it won't bother you in the slightest.
1) The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii) – Nintendo
We're always a little wary when making these lists, especially when the business end of them features recently released titles. It's not that we've forgotten or passed over older titles due to their age, this year it's more to do with the fact that the two best games of the year (by quite some distance) have been released in November. Excuses aside, from the moment we loaded up Skyward Sword we were in no doubt that it was going to finish top of the list.
It's reviewed in full over on page 85, but we suppose we can fill you in on the basics here. As one of the longest running series' in gaming, the Zelda franchise is now celebrating its 25th year and although some have complained that Skyward Sword doesn't really bring all that much to the table, we feel quite different.
The traditional overworld/dungeon layout has been tweaked sufficiently to add plenty of new interest to the storyline, and the implementation of the Motion Plus' (almost) 1:1 response has been second to none. Yes it's missing the boomerang, and yes it's still Link off chasing after Zelda, but the truth is that it feels every bit as fresh as it always has.
With the game budgets increasing all the time, and millions being spent on presentation, voice actors and swanky high resolution visuals, it's always great to see Nintendo rolling up their sleeves and showing us, once again, what gaming is all about. With a great storyline, fantastic SD graphics (although it must be pointed out that it looks a bit better on the CRT technology it was built for as opposed to a high end flat panel technology TV) and gameplay to die for, we're absolutely positive that Skyward Sword is going to be a fixture on countless "best ever" lists from this point onwards.
The List in Full
1) The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
2) The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
3) Portal 2
4) Saints Row: The Third
5) Mortal Kombat
6) Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
7) Forza Motorsport 4
9) Rayman Origins
10) Alice: Madness Returns
Notable Mentions
Batman: Arkham City (PS3, Xbox 360 & PC) –Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
Batman is back in his latest adventure. Absolutely essential for Bat-fans everywhere, this builds a huge amount on what Rocksteady games started with Arkham Asylum. Everything about it is bigger, better and more polished from the environments to the storyline to the combat. Beautiful stuff all round.
Sonic Generations (PS3, Xbox 360, PC, 3DS) – Sega
The lack of top quality Sonic titles in the last decade or so has been hard for us to stomach, but Sonic Generations makes it all seem worthwhile. Sega's Sonic Team has finally managed to find the right balance between breakneck speed and solid level design. Swapping between classic 2D based Sonic and modern 3D based Sonic is a real joy in this fantastic slice of platform magic. Please Sega, can we have some more?
Gears of War 3 (Xbox 360) – Microsoft Game Studios
Epic Games' original Gears of War story arc is finally brought to a satisfying close. Given the moderate disappointment of the last game, we weren't expecting things to be quite so good this time around, but thanks to some real touches of class, Epic has delivered on all fronts. The multiplayer is back to its best, while the story is well told and wraps everything up rather well. Yay for big ass explosions!
Deus Ex: Human Revolution (PS3, Xbox 360 & PC) – Square Enix
Quite what this Eidos Montreal title is currently doing hanging around bargain bins across the world is beyond us. It takes the established Deus Ex brand and drags it kicking and screaming into the current generation with a great storyline, fantastic visuals and some of the best level design we've seen for a long while. Whether you want to stealth it up or go in all guns blaring, the result is equally satisfying. If there's ever been one to pick up on the cheap in the sales this is it!
Dark Souls (PS3 & Xbox 360) – Namco Bandai Games
Harder than a really, really bloody hard thing, Dark Souls is the follow up to the equally devilish Demon Souls, and rather than pulling back its aim of killing you as many times as possible, it cranks the difficulty up even further. A game with this many lost lives shouldn't be enjoyable, but the sense of achievement gained for making progress is nothing short of gamer crack. Not for the faint hearted.

Where oh where has the Reebok Pump AXT been? The model has been very much MIA since the Extra Butter team outfitted it with their "Achoo" colorway, a release that definitely registered as a high point in the model's lifetime. Still no word on those, but what does appear to be coming back is the close relative Reebok Pump OXT, shown off here by Swizz Beatz, ever the spoiler of upcoming Reebok goods. As you can see, the colorway is a regal black and gold one, a palette that we've seen be successful plenty of previous times in their catalog. Continue reading for the full shot and stay tuned for possible release info on this Reebok Pump OXT.

NEW YORK – Earlier this month, I sat on a panel in Monte Carlo, a hotspot of the establishment, discussing the question, "Why can't Europe be more like the US?" The formal name of the panel was "Silicon Envy: Will Europe ever build the next new media giant?"
But I think people are focusing on the wrong question. After all, what is the actual value of a Microsoft or an Apple, Oracle, Google, or Twitter to a country in the first place? Surely, it's not the taxes paid by Bill Gates or Steve Jobs or Larry Ellison or Sergey Brin, nor even the taxes paid by their companies (of which other countries get a share anyway).
The real value created by many of these companies is much broader. Their employees become productive workers and, ultimately, consumers in some local market. And their products and services generate value even when pirated or used in countries where the provider doesn't sell much advertising. A country can get all these benefits without actually being the entrepreneur's home country.
But there are two benefits that do redound to a hero entrepreneur's home country. First, the local entrepreneur serves as a role model. He (rarely she) encourages people to dream – and also to take risks, persist in the face of long odds, and generate economic activity.

Raise Standards for Teachers and Free Them to Teach
July 9, 2013
Like any profession, teaching must attract quality applicants and train them well if the job is to be done effectively. In the United States, we do neither. That's a big problem because teachers are the single most important element of a school that affects how well children can learn. Bad teachers damage our civic culture, economy and national happiness, says Joy Pullmann, managing editor of School Reform News and an education research fellow at The Heartland Institute.
- Unfortunately, the average U.S. teacher was a mediocre achiever in school.
- Students who intend to major in education have below-average SAT scores, which correspond to a below-proficient ranking on state grade-by-grade tests.
- Teaching coursework in college is among the least challenging, and education majors require more remedial classes than their counterparts in humanities and social sciences.
- Despite these deficiencies, education majors receive the highest grades of all college students, according to research by University of Missouri economics professor Cory Koedel.
A big reason teaching no longer attracts brainy folks is that such people, especially women, can get more satisfying jobs elsewhere. Indeed, the profession attracts those who want a conveyor belt to an early retirement with pay and benefits that average 50 percent higher than their abilities would earn them elsewhere, according to research by Andrew Biggs and Jason Richwine.
Vivacious learners also dislike the mindless drivel forced onto prospective teachers.
- Most teacher preparation prioritizes progressive learning methods and ideology rather than the content teachers must impart to children.
- Teachers who have pursued content-specific majors or previous careers have stronger academic records than those who undergo traditional preparation.
A review of the available research on teacher certification has decisively shown it does not result in better teachers. It's time to eliminate certification mandates that only perpetuate a monopoly of failed ideology on future generations, and to allow schools to restructure pay and workplace conditions to attract the best and brightest once again. The nation's children deserve it, and our economy needs it.

AA, pronounced "ah-aah," is cindery lava, the word's from Hawaii but you may find some in Java.
His mother tried to quiet him, but he smiled his dead smile at her through his cindery eyes, shook his head and went on.
There were also the bodies of hunters smoking inside their cindery shirts.
For the cindery nature of the surface of such a stream see the initial letter of this chapter.
The sky was dull and leaden, and cindery flakes of snow were thinly falling.
It feels like an old volcano, cindery, with fire somewhere:—a charming bride!
The cindery tuff of these remains has weathered into very fantastic shapes.
She saw Thelma kiss him, and then the two started down the sunny, cindery side-track together.
The damp, yellow-brick schoolbuilding in its cindery grounds.
Sometimes these cindery surfaces undulate and take the appearance of black coils, as of a huge cable laid in parallel folds.
Old English sinder "dross of iron, slag," from Proto-Germanic *sendra- "slag" (cf. Old Saxon sinder "slag, dross," Old Norse sindr, Middle Low German and Middle Dutch sinder, Dutch sintel, Old High German sintar, German Sinter), from PIE root *sendhro- "coagulating fluid" (cf. Old Church Slavonic sedra "cinder").
Initial s- changed to c- under influence of unrelated French cendre "ashes," from Latin cinerem (nominative cinis) "ashes," from or related to Greek konis "dust" (see incinerate). The French word also apparently shifted the sense of the English one to "small piece of burnt coal" (16c.). Volcanic cinder cone is recorded from 1849.

A new report claims that the Asian Topmouth Gudgeon is spreading an infectious parasite, directly threatening native fish in the region.
The Environment Agency said the fish had been in the Test river since 1983 but had not had any measurable effect.
The agency said it was monitoring rivers in Hampshire and Dorset but had not found any evidence of the parasite.
'Valuable coarse'
The silver topmouth gudgeon, which grows up to 10cm (4in) in length, is one of the most invasive fish in Europe.
A study by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology in Dorset claims that it poses a major threat to native fish.
Lead author Adrian Pinder said: "This new work has identified 25 populations of topmouth gudgeon in England and Wales.
"The threatened rivers contain many highly valuable coarse and game fisheries and are also linked to the extensive canal network which will provide further means for topmouth gudgeon to disperse across the country."
Andy Thomas, Environment Agency fisheries officer for Hampshire, told the BBC News website: "Topmouth gudgeon have been in a tributary of the Test since 1983 but have had no measurable effect on the environment of the river."
Mr Thomas said that it appeared the species were more suited to still water and did not thrive in rivers.
He said it was also likely that the gudgeon would be "out-competed" by the larger salmon and trout.
Andy Martin, fisheries officer for Dorset, said that the introduction of non-native fish was a concern, but no evidence of the species or parasite had yet turned up in the county.

Heart Attack
Eating disorders commonly raise the risk for having a heart attack. Anorexia and bulimia both create huge imbalances in the electrolytic balance of the blood, things like hyperkalemia and hypocalcemia, either of these two issues can instigate a heart attack.
Heart disease is the most common medical cause of death in people with severe anorexia. In long-term, severe anorexia, heart disease is very likely to occur. The effects of eating disorders on the heart are numerous and difficult to reverse. Mineral and electrolyte imbalances, common with bulimia, can lead to cardiac arrest. Although unlikely, there is a risk of heart attack the very first time someone purges.
For those with eating disorders, the only way to lower one's risk of a heart attack is to receive prompt, professional treatment. In the case of someone with long-term, severe anorexia, heart disease is very likely to occur. A heart attack may in fact be the most common form of death for people with eating disorders.

Three months ago, the Justice Department launched an investigation into the potential mishandling of sexual assaults at the University of Montana at Missoula. The college, in conjunction with local police, was fingered by the DOJ for not following proper procedures with over 80 sexual assaults — at least two of which included the University of Montana Grizzlies football team. The underlying theory was that the school was perhaps treating its athletes with kid gloves when a sexual assault accusation arose.
Yesterday, a promising advancement was made: the Missoula County District Attorney's office announced it was charging University of Montana quarterback Jordan Johnson (pictured above), 20, with rape.
According to the affadavit as described in an article on MontanaGrizzlies.com, a student identified as "Jane Doe" accused Johnson of raping her on February 4. "Doe" said Johnson text messaged her asking to hang out and she drove to pick him up because he had been drinking. The two were watching a movie together and started kissing when he aggressively began pushing for sex; the affadavit states, "She was afraid he would hit her if she resisted further." "Doe" said she told him "no" repeatedly; Johnson allegedly told her "I will make you," held her down, and raped her.
After the alleged rape, "Doe" text messaged her roommate the following message:
"OMG … I think I might have just gotten raped … he kept pushing and pushing and I said no but he wouldn't listen … I just want to cry … OMG what do I do."
"Jane Doe" drove Johnson home that night. The next morning, she went to the University of Montana's Student Assault Resource Center and then to a medical center for an examination. She has been undergoing counseling for anxiety and depression following the incident.
Johnson has been suspended indefinitely from the football team, where he played starting quarterback, but is still enrolled in school. He will begin his junior year next month.
In a statement released by Johnson's attorney, he appears to cast doubt on "Jane Doe" by insinuating that she may not be trustworthy because — despite her text message to her roommate and her visit to the Student Assault Resource Center and a medical center — she did not report the alleged rape immediately. It reads:
"Jordan and his family are surprised and saddened by the county's decision to levy a criminal charge now, given that the encounter between Jordan and the complainant occurred in early February and the police have been aware of the allegation since she filed a report six weeks later."
Johnson's charge, the felony of sexual intercourse without consent, carries a minimum of two years to life in prison. He is the second player on the team to be charged with sexual assault: Beau Donaldson, another player for the Grizzlies, was suspended from the team for allegedly raping a woman. He pleaded not guilty in January.
I welcome the news that University of Montana and its local authorities are handling the matter with due seriousness. However, this is only the first step. If Johnson and Donaldson are found guilty, we still have to see how both the university and the county punish him. As a series of investigative reports by NPR and the Center For Public Integrity found in 2010, even when a male student is found guilty of sexual assault on campus, the punishment applied against him is often gentle. Also, it is usually the woman who brought the complaint — his victim — who leaves the college. The subtext in many of these news reports about the Missoula investigation (although not explicitly stated by the DOJ, of course) is that players from school sports teams accused of sexual assault are given a slap on the wrist.
The jury is still out on what will happen with Johnson and Donaldson. I'll be watching as Johnson appears in court on August 14.

The first few days of the Atlantic County/Atlantic City Surf Fishing Derby did not get off to a white-hot start, but there were several nice kingfish weighed in.
Richard Coles of Pleasant-ville, Linda Davoli of Brigan-tine, Frank Howardell of Brigantine and Robert Ralston of Somers Point all had qualifiers, and three of them were caught in the surf Thursday. All of those anglers are beach veterans who know where and how to catch kingfish.
Noel Feliciano said Coles had 15 kings, and the one he weighed for the Derby at One-Stop Bait and Tackle in Atlantic City was 15½ inches and 1.4 pounds. Davoli had a 13½-inch kingfish she certified at Riptide Bait and Tackle in Brigantine. Ralston was in Longport on Thursday when he hooked into a 14¼-inch, 1.04-pound kingfish. He weighed that one at Brennan Marine in Somers Point. Howardell's was 13¾ inches and weighed 0.84 pounds. That one was caught Monday and looks as if it was the first weigh-in of this year's Derby.
Davoli was out catching her "5-8 species" on Friday. She snares mullet in her net and caught another 13-inch kingfish, 1-pound bluefish, small flounder, sea bass and spot. She added a blowfish to the roster Thursday and was catching doubleheader 18-inch weakfish under the bird action in Absecon Inlet earlier this week.
Coles also had a variety while fishing from the Brigantine Jetty on Thursday, also adding short weakfish, bluefish and blowfish to his list.
In the quick canvas Friday of weighstations for the Derby, a couple of promising trends have been reported. First, the bluefish are getting bigger, although not big enough yet to qualify for the Derby. And a few striped bass have been picked off around the hordes of mullet that are migrating through our waters.
"Scott" Scott reported from Ray Scott's Dock in Margate that he caught lots of bluefish on the Margate beach this week and they weighed 1-3 pounds and measured up to 17 inches, or one inch short of the required 18 inches to qualify. That's about the same size blue that have moved ino the surf in Brigantine, according to Andy Grossman at Riptide Bait and Tackle there.
The Derby brings out the cast of regulars that fish the beaches of Brigantine and Absecon Island. Gary Rzemyk of Ventnor is up from his winter digs in Fort Meyers, Fla., and was spotted in Ventnor about to cut up a "bad boy" striper he had just caught. Pat Erdman of Ventnor said he had his good-luck charm - wife Eilene - with him while working one of his favorite jetties in Margate.
Don Brown, who is the Derby director, said he had no weigh-ins yet at Captain Andy's Marina in Margate but he knows of stripers that were caught Thursday night and Friday morning in Longport and Margate.
Karen Santoro at Ship Shop in Ventnor did not weigh any Derby fish yet, but she knows something's up. Fish-Bites are popular for kingfish, spot and some claim even weakfish. She said she sold 400 packs of them in two weeks, and she just got another 400 packs delivered.
A reminder: Anglers with four-wheel drive vehicles are required to register at the Atlantic City Engineers Office and at the police departments in Ventnor, Margate and Longport to drive on the beaches while fishing the Derby. You need a $25 Derby badge and valid driver's license, registration and insurance.
The summer flounder season is over, and so is The Press Fishing Contest. Anyone with a Press Fishing entry caught up to Friday must register it online or by mail by next Monday.
Rob Barrett said he had a slow final week of the flounder season. He said he did not even sell a minnow on the final day, Friday. Windy weather had something to to with that. Barrett reported that those 1-3 pound blues had invaded Corsons Inlet following the mullet run there.
Barrett and Scott both reported good tog fishing along the sod banks around Tog Island behind Margate. Green crab is the bait.
Joe Fumo had the Brigan-tine partyboat Fish Finder off the beach fishing for croaker, sea bass and weakfish on Friday. He has been doing that since Sunday, when he switched over from flounder fishing even before the season closed. Fumo sails six-hour trips starting at 8 a.m. from Fish Finder Marine in Brigantine.

Private equity players will struggle to strike deals above $2 billion in Australia because debt has become increasingly difficult to secure, according to a global private equity investor.
Kelvin Yap, vice-president of HarbourVest Partners, which has roughly $35 billion invested in private equity funds globally, said private equity groups could no longer use heavily leveraged structures for buy-outs.
"The amount to which you can be geared has dropped dramatically," Mr Yap told The Australian Financial Review on the sidelines of the Australian Private Equity and Venture Capital Association conference on the Gold Coast on Thursday.
"When you talk to bankers and ask exactly how much debt is out there, the number being thrown around is between $900 million to $1 billion of debt."
Using a basic 50:50 debt to equity ratio, that means "the Australian market is not a market where you can do a deal in excess of $2 billion any more," he said.
The past couple of years has seen a drop-off in deals above $500 million. The Carlyle Group and TPG's $2.7 billion purchase of hospital operator Healthscope in 2010 is the most recent transaction of more than $2 billion.
Mr Yap said deal sizes were shrinking not only because firms were being more "measured" with regards to how they deploy their capital but also because investors were putting less money into private equity funds.
Pacific Equity Partners is set to test this theory in November, when it begins raising for its latest fund.
"You no longer hear about the step-up in fund sizes," Mr Yap said, declining to comment on specific private equity funds.
"Peter Wiggs [Archer Capital founder] put up a slide yesterday which showed the value of funds from the first one raised through to the current fund going up in value each time. This isn't happening any more."
He added that there used to be a sense in private equity "that everyone was trying to do the biggest deal. But that's all gone now".
Mr Yap believes that in the long-term, the fact deals are smaller and less fodder for the front page of newspapers may be a good thing for the private equity industry.
"We need to go back to being private, stay low-key for a while, improve companies operationally and do what we do best."
In terms of the environment for private equity exits, Mr Yap echoed the overriding sentiment of this year's AVCAL conference – it's challenging for a deal to be struck on both the buy and sell side.
But he was optimistic that conditions would improve in the next 18 months. "As KKR's Steve Okun said yesterday, this year has been a bull year for political action. Everywhere in the world there is a lot of political uncertainty. We expect a lot of this to start being resolved in a year's time."
But he added: "Private equity was never meant to be an easy asset class and that's why the successful fund managers get paid the fees they do."
Meanwhile, HarbourVest is launching its first Australia and New Zealand loan fund, targeting $300 million. It will invest in leveraged loans backing deals by private equity firms, capitalising on the tightening supply of credit.

TraditionWARNING: DISCLAIMER: The below uses are based on tradition, scientific theories, or limited research. They often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider. There may be other proposed uses that are not listed below.
Aerobic fitness, alcohol dependence, alertness, Alzheimer's disease, antioxidant, Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), autism, bile secretion problems (biliary atresia), bipolar disorder, breast cancer, cardiac abnormalities (cardiac contractility), cardiomyopathy (dilated, hypertrophic), cardiovascular health (myocardial revascularization), cholestasis (stoppage of bile flow), cirrhosis (liver disease), concentration enhancement, depression, diabetes (prevention), digestive aid (fat absorption), Down's syndrome, exercise performance enhancement, fatigue, fatty liver, Huntington's chorea/disease, hypertriglyceridemia (elevated level of fatty acid compounds in the blood), ischemic heart disease, macular degeneration, malnutrition, memory enhancement, mental performance, mood stabilization, muscle atrophy (myotonia), myocarditis/endocarditis (acute viral), nervous system function (neurobehavioral development), nutritional supplement (amino acid supplementation), platelet aggregation inhibition, quality of life, retinitis pigmentosa (eye disease), steatorrhea (excess fat in the stool), thalassemia (inherited blood disorder), tinnitus (ringing in the ears), trauma, weight loss.
Adults (over 18 years old)
Taurine is likely safe when taken by mouth by adults in doses up to 3 grams daily for up to one year.
Up to 9 grams per day has been studied, but there is currently no proven effective dose for any indication. Nonetheless, for congestive heart failure, 3-6 grams of taurine has been taken by mouth daily for up to one year. The same dose has been studied for up to two months for high blood pressure. For diabetes mellitus type 2, 1,000-1,500 milligrams daily in divided doses for 30-90 days has been used. For hypercholesterolemia, 6 grams of taurine powder daily for three weeks has been used. For iron-deficiency anemia, 1,000 milligrams of taurine per day has been used for 20 weeks, and for liver disease, 4 grams has been used three times daily for six weeks. For visual fatigue, 3 grams per day for twelve days has been used. As a vaccine adjuvant, 9 grams taurine on the same day and one day prior to influenza vaccine administration has been used. For obesity, 3 grams daily for seven weeks has been used.
Injections of taurine have been used in the treatment of epilepsy, and as a nutritional supplement or coronary bypass surgery. Injections should only be given under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
Children (under 18 years old)
Taurine is possibly safe in children when taken by mouth at 30 milligrams per kilogram body weight daily for up to four months.
Other doses have been studied, but are not necessarily safe or effective. For cystic fibrosis, 30-40 milligrams per kilogram body weight daily for seven days to six months has been used. As a fortified infant formula, 470 micromoles per liter of taurine has been taken by mouth for six days in pre-term and full term infants; 45 micromoles per liter taurine added to Similac Special Care® formula in low weight infants has also been taken by mouth until release from hospital or infant attained weight of 2,500 grams. As parenteral nutrition, 10.8 milligrams per kilogram per day during the first ten days of life has been used.

I, too, have seen a similar thing and have posted in the "Users" list a

The Real Housewives of Orange County Clip: Lynne Confronts Alexa
As unreal as The Real Housewives of Orange County can be, last night's episode raises an interesting question: can stricter parents be better? Housewife Lynne complains that she can't get her daughter Alexa to do what she says — in this case, showing up for an appointment with a "youthologist" designed to help motivate her.
Alexa tells her mom that she skipped the appointment because she was hungover. Later, she admits that if her parents actually punished her, she might shape up: "If they want to be strict parents, then they should ground me . . . keep me in the house, you know, do something about it."
Of course, she doesn't say this to her mom, because really, who wants to be grounded? Still, sometimes having strict parents or rules like curfews at least makes teens feel like someone cares. What do you think?

This lecture is drawn from George Lakoff's book, don't think of an elephant!: Know Your Values and Frame the Debate. Lakoff lectures to Democratic politicians and supporters. But his book gives solid comparisons of Democratic and Republican ideas and the frames in which they are set. It's a succinct and clearly written text, so that it should serve to explain the importance of language and theories of attitude change and persuasion for you, regardless of your choice of Democratic or Republican ideals.
The Republican approach to this same issue can be found in a PBS Interview with Frank Luntz.
A few of the principal themes both Lakoff and Luntz build on:
- Language matters. Language symbols evoke cognitive pictures that have meaning for us. This means that we don't just process the actual meaning of the words we hear, but we process them within the frame we believe explains the context. Thus, progressives and liberals believe that we must have empathy for others, and they try to avoid to the extent that they are knowledgeable, the arrogance of knowledge. On the other hand fundamentalism assumes a return to the "good old days" (Karen Armstrong. The Battle for God) and exudes a strong sense of "knowing what is right." Thus, fundamentalists show little concern for the perspective of the Other, whoever that other may be.

Can I Move In? (Please)
Sometimes you come across something so wonderfully perfect that you literally could honestly say "I could move right in" or "I could pack my bags and stay there". Most often, when coming across images, I would imagine details that I would personally add or subtract, to taste, but in this case, no. I think I'm in love with the dining room in image 03 and the curtains in photo 04, so long and luxurious. They remind me of a post that Daniella, of Dress, Design & Decor, has recently made. Check it out also when you have a moment. (her blog is very pretty!) The gray door with the details, the windows, the flooring...I could go on forever! I'm printing these off as future home references. I hope you love them as much as I do!

Here are the facts: The 1996 General Plan states: "Develop a ridgeline preservation ordinance and scenic hillside design guidelines to improve safety and reduce the potential negative visual impacts of development in hilly areas." This ordinance should have been adopted before the Oak Grove project was approved. Presently, multiple developers are submitting housing plans that cut off tops of ridges, do massive grading, and cut down countless trees. Measure PP is not about a single development, but is about all the ridges in Pleasanton. Measure PP is the ordinance that will protect the ridges. Vote "yes" on PP.
The 1996 General Plan states: "Maintain a maximum housing buildout of 29,000 housing units within the planning area. Monitor and zone future residential developments so as not to exceed the maximum housing buildout." As we are approaching our voter-approved 29,000-unit housing cap, the mayor and two city councilmembers are now discussing not counting certain housing units toward our housing cap. Hundreds of housing units are involved in their discussions. Since the mayor and the two councilmembers represent a majority of the council, their three votes can determine what is counted toward the cap and what is not. The council majority should not have the "flexibility" to override what the residents of Pleasanton approved overwhelmingly (75 percent) in 1996, the housing cap of 29,000 housing units.
The voter-mandated housing cap of 29,000 units was used to plan our infrastructure. Exceeding the housing cap will affect the whole community with overcrowded schools, more traffic congestion and stress on water supplies. The city roadway system, schools, water and sewer systems were not designed to accommodate more than 29,000 housing units in our city. Even our school district superintendent recently stated that "all bets are off" in providing school facilities if we exceed the 29,000-unit housing cap.
Here is the answer: A citizens committee of current and previously elected officials, planning professionals, trails and open space advocates, and concerned residents wrote and qualified Measure PP for this November ballot. Actually, more than 5,000 Pleasanton residents signed the petition to put Measure PP on the ballot. The citizens want to eliminate loopholes in the voter-approved housing cap by defining a housing unit identical to the State of California and the federal government definition. The citizens want to provide an ordinance to protect our ridgelines as directed in our General Plan.
Vote "yes" on Measure PP. Vote "no" on Measure QQ, the poison pill measure that would kill Measure PP even if passed by a majority of voters. Measure PP immediately preserves the ridgelines and protects the housing cap. For more information on Measure PP, visit www.SavePleasantonHills.com.

The American network has opted to cut short the infamous vampire's quest for revenge, scrapping the big-budget series after just one series. Dracula, which boasted a cast including The Tudors' Jonathan Rhys Meyers as the eponymous count, along with Jessica De Gouw, Thomas Kretschmann and Merlins' Kate McGrath, was a reimagining of Bram Stoker's classic novel and saw the notorious blood-sucker arrive in Victorian London posing as an American entrepreneur but intent on avenging the death of his long-dead wife. The thriller, which was created by Cole Haddon, aired on Sky Living in the UK. Haddon confirmed the news on Twitter, saying: It is with great disappointment that I report to @NBCDracula fans that the series has indeed been cancelled.

Apple iPod Nano (old)
Because the newer 'fat' nano's have been released the older versions of this tiny music player can now be had for bargain prices. Sure the newer nano's have a larger screen, but it is still too tiny to watch a movie or tv show from comfortably. The surface of the older nano's do scratch easily but it's a small price to pay since these are going for so cheap now.
It's an Iphone.. need I say more :)

"Sparks" for Reflection/Discussion on Our Theme
The United States has in recent years maintained a very strong foreign policy of protecting the human rights of individuals who live under oppressive regimes. Sanctions have been leveled by the U.S.against a number of countries which have consistently violated such rights. Certainly, as Jews, such a stance is very much in keeping with our tradition as seen in the pertinent quotations above and in particular, in accordance with the entire thrust of the Exodus "liberation-from-slavery" saga.
Nonetheless, some maintain that it is not in our national interest to do so. Howstrong should our stance be in this matter vis-a-vis authoritarian overnments such as China, etc?
Also, while we are on the subject, we might want to examine the human rights cord, past and present, of both Israeland its Arab neighbors. What has been said regarding this matter? How accurate is what's being said?
Finally, in this post-September 11th era, do you think that the United States government is justified in its recent requests for certain emergency anti-terrorism powers or might they be regarded as potential civil liberties violations and a cause for concern?
