Johnny had been restless since going to bed. His younger cousin Steve was staying overnight as he did quite often during the summer. Being a junior, Johnny was always thinking of some form of sex. Since he was a preteen Johnny had realized that he wanted to try sex with a man. He didn't know why, but the thought of a man naked with a large hard penis had always fascinated him.
Often he masturbated to the fantasy of one of the truckers that drove along Route 50 in front of his house would stop and let him suck their cock. Johnny would masturbate while staring out the window imagining the trucker pulling over because his rig had broken down. Johnny would see him walking across the yard and up to the front door. Once there, he would knock on the door, where Johnny would answer, completely nude and hard, his naked hairless body ready to serve a rugged, well-endowed man.
Johnny imagined the trucker would be shocked and attempt to mumble out his reason for knocking. Inviting the trucker in, he would ask, "Where's your parents?" Happy with the answer he would follow the young naked boy back to his bedroom. There, Johnny would climb onto the bed and wait while the trucker quickly undressed. Johnny imagined this man pulling off his clothes while staring at Johnny's hard cock. Johnny would gasp when the trucker's 7-inch cock, jutting out, would flop as he released it from his boxers. The trucker moved forward and knelt on the bed in front of Johnny.
Reaching out Johnny slipped his young fingers around the first penis other than his own. Johnny slid his hand up and down the hard cock squeezing the trucker's pre-cum out the slit. Seeing this Johnny leaned forward and licked the man's cock head tasting his sweet pre-cum and pursing his lips against the tip of the man's penis. He continued to lick around the head taking more and more into his mouth. By then Johnny would usually climax ending his fantasy thought.
Johnny was so horny for a hard cock that he even started exposing himself to truckers and pickup trucks from the front porch of his house along Route 50. Too scared to be too obvious, Johnny would lie naked on the warm concrete of the porch, stroking his young, hard cock while watching the cars go by. A person with just the right view at the right time might see young Johnny touching himself while lying there; or exposing his young manhood while sitting on the steps with his legs spread. Sometimes he would run naked from the porch to the corner of the house, thrilled by the feeling of being nude outside and possibly exposed, maybe even to a classmate driving by with their parents.
Tonight as he lay in bed watching his cousin Steve get undressed for bed, Johnny fantasized about sucking Steve's cock. He could tell that Steve had a nice size cock by the bulge of his underwear. As Steve climbed under the covers, Johnny decided he needed to at least try and suck Steve's man size cock. As they lay in bed, Johnny brought up the subject of sex. They must have talked for 30 minutes about the different girls they liked and even talked about some of their fantasies with girls. Getting up his nerve, Johnny asked Steve if he had ever had someone suck his cock. Steve admitted that he had not, but really would love for it to happen.
Without another moments thought, Johnny reached out and grabbed Steve's hard cock encompassed in his underwear. Steve jerked from the initial touch, but then relaxed a little as Johnny started pumping and squeezing Steve's cock. After a minute of rubbing his cock on the outside, Johnny slid his hand under the waistband of Steve's underwear and grasped his throbbing 6-inch naked cock. Johnny immediately started manipulating Steve's hard cock just as he had his own cock so many times. Stroking up and down and rubbing the cock head with his thumb, Johnny took his cousin to a higher level. Steve was now bucking his hips to the stroking of his older cousin.
Suddenly, feeling the blankets thrown off him, Steve looked down to see Johnny kneeling by his side, his hand still stroking Steve's hard cock while Johnny used his other hand to pull Steve's underwear down. Closing his eyes, Steve felt Johnny lean down and then wrap his lips around the head of his cock. Feeling Johnny's tongue darting around his cock head and slit drove Steve wild. Steve opened his eyes when he felt his hips bang Johnny's head and the sight almost pushed him over the edge. But he wanted to get at least three or four good thrusts down that wonderful throat before he unloaded his thick supply of sweetness. So he slowly pulled back all the way to the head and slowly pushed back in again, all the time watching to see if Johnny showed any signs of distress. When he saw none, he knew that he would be over the edge on his fourth plunge so he decided to just go for it.
Johnny also knew from that second push that it was going to be easy to let that cock slide in and out as fast as it wanted and he was ready. With each stroke outward he kept his tongue along the underside of the cock and then quickly swirled it around the head before it started pressing forward again. With this all happening to his prick, Steve was hard as rock and his eyes were glazing over. His knees felt like jelly and his balls were on fire. He pulled out for the third time and quickly rammed it home again all the way to the root and when he started to back off for the fourth time his toes curled up and he felt liquid fire racing along the length of his cock. He quickly pushed it back in that cavern of joy and there it was. Great thick globs of cum were firing out of the end his prick.
Johnny was caught a little by surprise by the sudden push by his cousin. But then he felt the cock twitch and swell even more so as he pulled on Steve's hips. Johnny forced the throbbing cock into his throat and just as he did it let go with its first spurt of liquid treasure. This went right past his tongue and down his gullet. Johnny was a little surprised at how much actually came out. It felt like he had already swallowed a whole cup full and it was starting to spasm again. By this time Steve was out of control. All he knew was that he wanted to plunge his cock in and out as much as possible before the electricity that was running from his toes to his scalp stopped. So he pulled out for another plunge. When he did this, his second spasm shot his load full onto Johnny's tongue. Johnny had never imagined that the human body could make something that tasted this delicious. It was like ambrosia. It was hot, but it was so sweet that it made his head spin. He hoped that there was more. So to help it along he started sucking again.
When Steve felt the renewed sucking it was all he could do not to yell out. But instead he just piston his cock into those lips like a battering ram. When he shot his third load it just sort of trickled out of the head and the electricity in his back kind of ran out with it. But he gave one final thrust to be sure there was no more and then he just leaned over and rested his head on his cousin's stomach to catch his breath. But Johnny was so caught up in the act that he was still sucking that wondrous meat trying to get another few drops across his tongue. He must have sucked for another minute or two when he realized that his cousin was through and just as he was letting the now soft prick slide from his lips he caught one last drop from the head that he quickly licked away and rolled around his mouth.
After that, while lying in bed, I told Steve of my fantasy to suck a trucker. As I went into detail about what I fantasized he popped up and told me that I could live out my fantasy down at the truck stop not ½ mile from my house. Though I had thought about this previously, now with Steve's encouragement, I decided to do it.
The next morning Steve and I jumped on our motorcycles and drove to the truck stop. Parking in the rest stop across the highway, we ran across the highway that would soon supply me with my fantasy cock. The truck stop had a gas station and separate restaurant. I decided to hang around the gas station first, hoping I would get a trucker coming in for refueling and needing to take a leak. Steve went to the restaurant to watch me out the window. I did not have to wait long. Within 5 minutes the first truck came rolling down the highway, its brakes hissing as he slowed for the turn into the station. My cock got hard just thinking about what may happen. I wasn't sure what I would do, but I had to try something.
Hanging around the corner of the station near the men's room, I waited until the trucker pulled up to the station, barked out his instructions to the attendant, and then jumped down from his rig. It was then that I saw my trucker target. He was headed my way. I quickly backed up and stepped up to the men's room door. It was then that I realized the restroom was made for only one person. Not sure what to do, I quickly stepped in to the men's room and looked around. There was a toilet and urinal along one wall and a sink across from them in the corner. Almost out of time as the trucker would be there within 15 seconds, I quickly pulled down my pants and underwear. My hard cock popped out, dripping pre-cum like never before. Pulling my t-shirt over my head, I stood there naked except for my jeans and underwear around my ankles.
I heard a step up to the door and then someone pulling the door open. The bright light of the morning sun filled the room and highlighted my naked body, exposed to anyone standing at the door. The trucker stopped entering and stared at me for a good 10 seconds. Soon a smile appeared and he continued into the restroom. He didn't lock the door, and the thought of someone else walking in only made me throb and cause my cock to bounce with excitement. The trucker looked to be in his 30's or early 40's, in good shape, and rugged looking handsome. Walking over to the urinal, the trucker popped open his pants button and then pulled down his zipper. He was angled so that I could see his every move. Pulling open his pants I could see that he was wearing blue briefs and better yet, a swelling that traveled the length of his cock. Instead of pulling his cock through the opening, he pushed the briefs down pulling them over his swelling cock.
There, hanging in my view was the first man cock I had ever seen. The trucker stopped and turned to look at me, reached down and stroked his cock a few times and then stepped up to the urinal. He aimed his cock and let loose with a thick stream of piss. All the time I stood there watching him, staring at his cock. I was stroking my cock while I watched. I slipped off my tennis shoes and stepped out of my pants and underwear. I took one step towards the man and dropped to my knees. I looked at his cock. It was about 6 inches long and not even hard. He had large balls and a lot of black pubic hair surrounding his crotch. The last drops of urine were dripping from the slit.
Reaching over I took his penis in my hand. It was hot and soft, filling my hand while still not hard. Pulling him toward me with his penis, the trucker turned to face me as I leaned in to lick the head of his cock. I could taste the remnants of his piss coming from the slit as my tongue darted around the swelling head. I sucked in his hardening cock, taking as much as I could as I enjoyed the feeling of his swelling cock in my mouth. Pulling back to hold the head in my mouth, I could see that he had grown to 7-8 inches and still was not completely erect.
Reaching out with my right hand I took his balls into my hand and with the left I pulled his pants down so that they dropped below his knees. I sucked up and down on his cock, now fully erect and a good 8 inches long and thick at the base, tapering to a head that pursed out just right for my lips. Wrapping my left hand around the base of his cock left about 4 hard inches sticking out. I licked and sucked up and down that hard trucker cock, tugging at his balls as I sucked him off. Moaning and groaning, the trucker took my head in his hands and started fucking my mouth, pumping faster as I sucked along the length. Releasing his cock so he could pump his cock completely into my mouth, I grabbed his waist and pulled him in and out, fucking his sweet hard cock with my mouth.
It was then that I heard the restroom door open. Light flooded in but I kept on sucking, too excited to stop. The door closed as someone stepped in. The trucker only hesitated momentarily and then continued pumping. Looking at who had entered, I was surprised to see my dad's friend Don. Don took in the sight and then stepped up in front of me. Reaching over, I stroked his crotch through his pants as I kept sucking my trucker. Don's cock quickly swelled in his pants as I squeezed and stroked its length. He opened his pants and pulled down his pants with both hands, leaving him in boxers with his cock head sticking through the crotch. I grabbed his cock and pulled him closer.
Reaching over I slipped his boxers down over his hips as he pumped his crotch toward me. His cock came into view, hard and long, at least 7 inches, but slender like Don. I pulled him next to the trucker and then slipped him into my mouth. Don moaned, "Oh Johnny!" as I licked down his length to his balls and then back up to wrap my lips around the head. As I bopped on Don's cock, the trucker slipped behind me and lifted my hips up until I was standing, but bent at the waist with my ass up and open. I never stopped sucking Don as my trucker stepped up and pushed the slippery head of his cock up against my asshole. I groaned as I felt him probe my asshole with the wet pre-cum and spit covered 8-inch cock.
Holding my hips I felt him line up and then push forward. I pushed back at the same time and felt his cock slide into my ass at least 2 inches. My cherry ass hurt, but the excitement pushed me on and slowly I pushed back against my trucker lover. As I got 4 inches into my ass Don and my trucker teamed up and both pushed in at the same time. Don's 7 inch cock slid down my throat as my trucker's hard 8 inch cock slid completely into my ass until I felt both of them pubic hair deep into my young body. They took control then and started fucking my young boy body with uncontrollable lust. Don kept moaning my name as he slammed his cock in and out of my mouth. This turned me on to know that I was sucking a family friend whom I had masturbated to in many fantasies.
My trucker had me by the hips and was stroking me quickly and fully, pushing balls deep with each thrust. They both man handled me just as I had dreamed. I felt the trucker grab my hips and pull himself deep into my ass as the first burst of cum hit my bowels. His cock swelled with each release of his man juice, grinding deeply as he launched each volley. As Don watched the ass fucking scene before him he too let loose with a flood of hot cum. The first shot hit me deep in the throat and I swallowed with all my might. Don pulled back a bit as I wrapped my lips around his pulsing cock. Shot after shot landed on my tongue and in the back of my mouth as I milked his sweet cock. His hard cock slid in and out as I brought him back to reality. Pulling back, his cock slid from my mouth.
My trucker was still slowly pumping my ass, keeping his cock hard. As Don stepped to the door I pulled off the hard dripping cock and slipped to my knees, taking the trucker into my mouth to clean off our love juices. Don, with his pants at his ankles, slowly stroked his cock back to hardness. As I sucked my trucker I felt hands grab my hips.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/8/2014 (1104 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: This little fiasco happened when I was out for dinner with my new man at The Forks -- third date, no sex yet. We were liking each other a lot until my entrée arrived. Then, without asking my permission, he reached over and plucked two large, delicious shrimp from my dinner. Not being a shy person, I reached right back and took a large piece of meat off his plate without asking his permission. He looked shocked, but got the point. Then he put the one uneaten shrimp back on my plate, and I cut off half the meat and gave it back to him. We said nothing more about it, but conversation was stilted after that. He hasn't called for three days, which is unlike him -- a guy who regularly texts six times a day. Is it over? Should I call him and hint the next time would be make-up sex? -- Need Strategy, Tuxedo
Dear Strategy: Don't offer your body. Verbal communication is what both of you have been lacking and a sex-only incident wouldn't help either one of you learn respect for each other. Sex should be a celebration for a new couple, not a peace offering. You might email or text him and ask if you could make peace over the silly food fight while enjoying a patio drink or two. Make that meeting time 8 p.m. or later (not dinner again). You need the temperature outside to be cooling off, too. Heated discussions are worse in full sun when people are crankier. So cool off together at a new place and find out how he would have liked you to respond when he commandeered your shrimp. Grabbing his steak was like an brother-sister fight and stalled the passion he may have been feeling.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I've been living with a woman who likes to go to the beach with an available girlfriend occasionally after my girl finishes her midnight to morning shift. She doesn't even take a nap, so she'll text me in the afternoon to say she's tired. Then they go to the bar and hang out with local men they've known for a while until 2 a.m. or later. Her friend drives responsibly and will leave any time, but my girl says she's having fun and usually drinks more and decides when they'll go. When I express concern or say that I don't see why she wants to stay up all those hours and hang out with those men while I'm waiting for her, she says I'm weak and insecure. Your thoughts? -- Night Life Questions, Winnipeg
Dear Night Life: Too bad you're already living with her. Would you still be dating a woman who did this, whether she cheats or not? How old is she? Going to the beach with a girlfriend after shift is OK; staying to drink a lot with guys she knows until 2 a.m. or later is quite another. This sounds like immature behaviour -- careless of your feelings as her lover, and disrespectful, too. Either she changes her ways, or one of you packs. That's not being weak or insecure; it's having a healthy amount of respect for yourself.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I read the column about the couple having trouble with stinky feet (he doesn't want to throw out his shoes). I purchase boric acid. It comes in a 125-gram bottle in powder form -- a topical antiseptic and astringent. I sprinkle it into the sticky shoes and leave it there; your socks will absorb it. I also put some in warm water and soak the feet in it for about 15 minutes. If they still stink, repeat. This stuff with neutralize the odour and it is gone. If the problem comes back later on, repeat the process. It works wonderfully and is natural. We've never had to throw out a good pair of shoes yet. -- Smelling Fine, Windsor Park.
Dear Smelling Fine: No one wants to have stinky feet. They just live in the smell and get used to it. As well as taking your advice, this woman could buy her stubborn/cheap hubby a new pair of shoes or sandals just like the stinky ones he loves so much. She might say, "Here's some new models of your favourite shoes, darling, and a supply of boric acid to keep them smelling great. Unfortunately, your old ones seem to have disappeared," all delivered with a good-natured grin, not sarcasm. It all boils down to just doing what works and getting past the problem quickly, before resentment sets in. Being "right" when addressing personal hygiene issues with your partner isn't as important as being happy, comfortable and still attracted.

Weather and Migration in India: Evidence from NSS Data
While a wide range of factors influence rural-rural and rural-urban migration in developing countries, there is significant interest in analyzing the role of agricultural distress and growing inter-regional differences in fuelling such movement. This strand of research acquires importance in the context of climate change adaptation. In the Indian context this analysis gets further complicated due to significant presence of temporary migration. Acknowledging that both temporary and permanent migration in India could be influenced among other things by the weather and its variability, this paper analyses the same using National Sample Survey data for the year 2007-08. The results based on rural Indian migration data suggest that weather has significant role in explaining temporary migration and relatively lesser influence on permanent migration. The study further highlights that both temperature and rainfall are important determinants of temporary migration while the permanent migration is broadly influenced by temperature alone.

I don't want things to get politically charged here at Spiceworks, but any time you see a web site that has a clear political agenda you have to at least consider the source.
What about this bill was NOT reported on? What situations must arise in order for this power to be exercised? Could it be used to limit your personal freedoms? Yes. So can Martial Law, but it's not really been a problem.
Aug 30, 2010 at 12:26 UTC
I really don't care for trying to get anybody politically charged, but the idea of putting the civilian internet into the hands of the military industrial complex kind of gives me the willies. If the article is true about the Chinese Government arbitrarily shutting the net down, I think this will affect a lot more people than just Civilians. As far as Justin's reply goes, I think I testing time might be sooner than later. Martin is correct the article does not show the specifics of the bill, but I am still learning Spiceworks and would really hate to see it all go snap.
Aug 30, 2010 at 12:47 UTC
Well, there is a pretyt big difference between the Chinese Government and ours. Any while we might not like every aspect of our government I find it hard to believe that any President would use that power arbitrarily... because Congress or Senate would pass a bill to stop it.
Don't forget that the Internet was originally a military project.
That said, the backbone is controlled by a lot of companies that have in the past fought the Government when they thought they were doing something wrong. There's no reason to believe they won't continue to do that.
I think this issue is a lot more smoke then fire.

Items were ready when we arrived. There was a mistake with our order and it was fixed immediately. Would definitely use this service again!!
For anyone staying at a Disney Resort, this is the way to go. You are already tired with the heat and crowds, to keep going to the restaurant to eat every morning. This way you can eat right in your room breakfast and have bottle water at a fraction of the cost. Bottled water in the parks is $2.50 per bottle. I got a 24 pack for about that price. Saved a lot of money for a family of 5. You can even order snacks to eat during the park until you eat your next meal. Also buy snacks to take on your airplane ride home, airplanes don't offer much these days, and the prices are $$$. Would use the service again!!!!
From start to finish, this service was wonderful. Our order was waiting at the hotel when we arrived just as they had promised online.

Spartan Dedicates 'Habitat' House; Expands Commitment
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Employees of Spartan Stores here joined this week with board members, city leaders, and Habitat for Humanity employeesto dedicate a newly constructed home in southwest Grand Rapids for a local family in need.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Employees of Spartan Stores here joined this week with board members, city leaders, and Habitat for Humanity employeesto dedicate a newly constructed home in southwest Grand Rapids for a local family in need.
The dedication event capped eight months of efforts by Spartan employees to build a home for the Barrera family in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Kent County. Spartan c.e.o. Craig Sturken said the company will now expand its partnership with Habitat statewide.
"We recognize the importance of corporate leadership, fully understanding the power of smaller contributions from generous individuals," said Sturken. "Our financial backing - along with our Spartan employees volunteering on the job site - can build not only homes - but hope - for Habitat homebuyers. This temporary boost - along with their zero percent interest mortgages - is what makes dreams come true."
Spartan raised the necessary funds to build a Habitat house through a month-long scanning program in its D&W Fresh Markets and Family Fare Supermarkets throughout Grand Rapids and Holland. Spartan associates then stepped up, volunteering hundreds of hours to build the home.
In August of this year, Spartan Stores will launch a statewide scanning program to raise money for Habitat for Humanity affiliates throughout Michigan. Habitat for Humanity of Kent County - who pioneered the first Habitat/Spartan scanning program last August - will provide local support and serve as a liaison to Habitat Michigan in Lansing.
"On behalf of Habitat for Humanity of Kent County and All Michigan Habitat affiliates, we wish to thank Spartan Stores for its key role in providing energy to build more affordable housing in the state of Michigan and for shinning a light on the need of hardworking people who seek simple, decent, housing for their families," said Pam Doty-Nation, Habitat for Humanity/Kent County's executive director. "Spartan employees' volunteer support and the generosity of Spartan shoppers will make a tremendous impact throughout our state and we are most grateful to have such a partner headquartered in our community."
With warehouse facilities in Grand Rapids and Plymouth, Mich., Spartan Stores serves over 350 independent grocery stores in Michigan and also owns and operates 68 retail supermarkets and 19 deep-discount food and drug stores in Michigan and Ohio, including Family Fare Supermarkets, Glen's Markets, D&W Fresh Markets and The Pharm.

The Career and the Kimono
Published: May 30, 1993
(Page 5 of 5)
By all accounts, the young woman was flattered but uninterested. It was about six years later, after the intercession of several intermediaries, including Hisashi Owada's mentor at the Foreign Ministry, that another meeting was arranged. Over time, Owada's friends say, she too fell in love, but cautiously. "I don't think there is much doubt in her mind that she loves the Prince," says a Harvard friend. "The question was never him. The question was the palace."
For some 1,600 years, as long as there have been empresses, Japan's Imperial Court has molded them to fit a national image. With Masako Owada, say members of the old establishment, things have changed.
In January, the whole country came to a stop when the Crown Prince and his would-be bride held their first, and so far only, press conference. There was no chance there would be surprises, since under palace rules questions were submitted in advance. Nonetheless, by her very demeanor Masako Owada made news.
Gone were her usual trim business suit, cocked turn of head and bright scarf. Instead, she sat in a yellow jacket and billowy skirt, with a matching hat and purse. She wore white gloves. But if the uniform was suitably by the book, the words were not. She talked about how she had "agonized considerably over whether I ought to give up my work or not." When the Crown Prince popped the question last October, at a duck-hunting ground outside of Tokyo, she said, she hesitated and gave him no answer for two months. Those 60 days, her friends and acquaintances (Continued on page 48) say, were filled with lots of lengthy, emotional phone calls to close friends and fears that she would be ruining her life by entering the cloistered, rigid world of the imperial family.
"I'd be telling a lie if I were to say that I do not feel a sense of sadness on leaving the Foreign Ministry, where I have been working for close to six years," Owada told the crowd of reporters. But she was won over, she said, when the Prince told her, "I will protect you with all my power throughout my life." It was unclear whom she needed protection from, but many believe those words were a signal to both the Imperial Household Agency and the Japanese press that if they tangle with the new Princess, they will be tangling with the Prince. The message was out: There would be no digging into her past life, no carping from old-line families whose daughters were passed over and none of the harsh treatment by the Imperial Household Agency that led Empress Michiko to a near nervous breakdown and a miscarriage a generation ago.
Curiously, the press conference has emerged as a sort of national Rorschach test. Many older Japanese said they were shocked by Owada's forwardness. Miss Owada, they complained, had breached imperial etiquette by repeatedly stepping in to add a few words to Prince Naruhito's comments.
"She said too much," said one middle-aged woman who knows the Emperor and Empress well. In fact, she added, the future princess had talked longer than her fiance. Another woman noted: "She evaluated the Prince, describing his good characteristics. In Japan, evaluation is impolite. It should only happen when people who are higher up evaluate those who are lower down."
Akira Hashimoto, a senior executive of Kyodo News Service who went to school with the Emperor when he was a child, also suggested Owada has a bit to learn. "She tried to meet the questions and answers too directly," he said. To become a true princess, she must "give up her endeavor to build up her own character" and should "find a way to express herself simply with her smile."
In contrast, many younger Japanese, particularly working women, were thrilled to see a future empress offering direct, savvy answers, even opinions. "She said the very maximum she could say," one of her colleagues and friends at the Foreign Ministry said. Owada's account of how she deliberated between job and marriage was particularly satisfying to many of her friends, because they knew it would infuriate old-line families and pro-imperialists. "To them, her view, her feelings should not be important," a former colleague said. "She was saying it was the deciding factor."
Yet another group -- Owada's American friends, who knew her as a bright, witty and outspoken young woman -- had a different reaction. Some said they were shocked by what they saw. Sitting in her perfect dress, bowing at all the right moments, her gloved hands folded just-so in her lap, she "had turned into something different, almost robotic," said a friend who knew Owada well at Harvard. "You would hardly recognize her. I saw this and said to myself, 'It's over.' " Last month, these friends noted that after Owada received the official engagement gifts from the palace, she posed a bit awkwardly in her kimono for the cameras. They could not remember ever seeing her in a kimono.
For their part, weekly magazines and television now portray Owada in the one-dimensional terms that royalty are treated to in Japan -- as the idealized princess, even if it means obliterating her Americanized past, her intellectual interests and her opinions. Though Japanese reporters have been combing Harvard in search of old boyfriends or tidbits of gossip (there seem to be very few of either), not a word of it has appeared in print or on television.
These days, in the Japanese mass media, Owada appears as a young woman interested in making dinner and babies, a woman for whom her work as a diplomat was a premarriage diversion -- good training for the state dinners and official trips she will be taking. One recent television special examined her cooking skills, her wardrobe, her taste in pearls. A morning television program spent the better part of the show teaching viewers how to tie scarves the way she ties them. Her hairdresser has become a celebrity.
When a reporter recently asked Owada about such feminine pursuits, she, clearly at a loss, finally and gently conceded that she hadn't cooked much in recent years. It would have been inappropriate for the future Crown Princess to point out that, until January, she regularly got home from work long after dinner time had passed.

The Egyptian government intensified its crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood on Wednesday, formally listing the group as a terrorist organization after accusing it of carrying out a suicide bomb attack on a police station that killed 16 people. The Brotherhood condemned the attack on Tuesday in the Nile Delta city of Mansoura, north of Cairo. Earlier in the day, a Sinai-based militant group, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis had claimed responsibility for the attack that wounded some 140 people.

NATCHITOCHES — Joe Robbins looked in the crowd at Northwestern State's Brown-Stroud field and saw the Tioga baseball team — his alma mater — looking back at him.
"I just wanted to put on a show for them," Robbins said.
It didn't take long. Robbins clobbered Austin Tanner's 0-1 pitch over wall in center field for a two-run home run in the top of the first inning — the big blow of a four-run first inning that powered UL-Lafayette to a 7-3 win against Northwestern on the road.
"It felt good to see a fastball," Robbins said. "(Tanner) messed up and put two down the middle. I just took advantage of a good pitch. Dead-red fastball ... I took it dead-center."
Robbins, who started in center field, finished the night with two hits and four RBIs for the Ragin' Cajuns (2-2). It was the second time this season he's driven in four runs in a single game.
Though Robbins hasn't seen much of the field in his first two seasons — he was stuck behind other talented players and also recovering from Tommy John surgery — his early season production hasn't surprised coach Tony Robichaux.
"He kept working while he was waiting," Robichaux said. "The other day, my son said he swung by cutting through around midnight at the indoor facility and Joe was in there hitting. When you work while you wait, the game will pay you back."
With Robbins providing the fireworks, freshman left-hander Gunner Leger did his best to keep Northwestern State (1-3) at bay.
In his first career start, Leger (1-0) allowed only five base runners in five solid innings, striking out four. Robichaux wasn't anticipating the southpaw to be overwhelmed by making his first start.
"Gunner doesn't pitch scared; he'll go out there and compete," Robichaux said. "And I think when they spotted him four, it let him settle in and go to work."
Leger only found himself in trouble once, when he walked Demons second baseman Chase Daughdrill after an eight-pitch battle and allowed a two-out single up the middle to catcher Garrett Logan.
Demons shortstop Joel Atkinson then ripped a 2-2 pitch down the left-field line, easily scoring one run. But left fielder Dylan Butler hit Blake Trahan with a solid relay throw, and Trahan fired to third to nab Atkinson before he could leg out a triple.
The umpires ruled that Logan did not score from first before Atkinson was thrown out, and Demons coach Lane Burroughs was ejected after arguing the call.
The only other damage Leger allowed was when Daughdrill launched a solo home run in the fourth inning. Leger said he grooved a fastball after badly missing the strike zone on two previous breaking balls.
"When I was ahead (in the count) it was going well, and when I got behind is when I kind of struggled," Leger said. "I've just got to stay ahead, throw strikes and let the defense work."
The Cajuns tacked on two more runs in the fifth on a Robbins sacrifice fly and an Evan Powell single, and one more in the ninth on a Robbins single.
The bullpen had a nice outing after struggling on opening weekend, with right-handers Dylan Moore and Colton Lee holding the Demons to one run over the final four frames.
Lee relieved Moore in a pressure situation in the eighth inning, with one out and the tying run at the plate. But he didn't allow a base runner and struck out a pair in 1.2 innings, earning his first save in a Cajuns uniform.
The pitching effort was encouraging to see for Robichaux, who said after the game that his starting rotation for this weekend's series would be, in order of appearance, Evan Guillory, Chris Charpentier and Greg Milhorn.
"The hitters did a good enough job last weekend for us, we scored five runs in both games we lost," Robichaux said. "Last year that was enough for us to win the ball game. We've got to pitch the score back down, get our ERA down."

It's a pity that we had to pay cleaning costs while on the site that it was inclusive. Otherwise we had given 5 stars.
Tolle Ferienwohnung, super nette Familie! Sehr empfehlenswert :)
We stayed 2 nights at the apartment while visiting Venice. This was a 5 star stay in every way for us. The apartment is comfortable for sleeping and has a well equipped kitchen for self-catering. The supermarket , bakery , pizzeria are all easy walking distance . Both the tram and bus are a few minutes walk away and take you into Venice in 20-30 minutes. This was a perfect stay for us to be near the city but not in the middle of it. It felt more like staying in a neighbourhood. But best of all was the great customer service from Simonetta and her family. Communication was always prompt , directions to the apartment and orientation to the apartment and community were appreciated. They also provided some great tourist resources which saved us lots of time on our visit. Highly recommended. Thank-you!
We had a very nice 7 days stay in this lovely family apartment. It is clean, spacious and has everything you need for a family. One recommendation is to place the TV a bit lower than where it is now in the sitting room. Simonetta and Bruno are very nice and welcoming hosts. They waited for us after midnight to give us the keys and explained the local amenities. The place is few minutes away from the Tram stop that takes you to Venice. Overall we had a fantastic time in Venice and surrounding areas and enjoyed our stay in this apartment.
Nice, very clean apartment close to the tram/bus stop and local shops. It takes 20 min by bus and 40 min by tram to get to Venice and a single ticket costs €1.50. If you stay in larger apartment you sometimes can hear noise from the apartment above, but otherwise a very quiet surrounding. Also there have been few mosquitos at night. Overall a very pleasant stay, friendly hosts and nice to explore tourist free suburb of Venice. We would stay there again.
We had a wonderful stay at Simonette and Bruno's apartment. They were very helpful in explaining train/bus to take into Venice, also made dinner reservations for us at a great restaurant. The apartment was clean and big enough for our family of four. Would love to come back again in the future! Thank you Simonette and Bruno for a wonderful stay!
The apartments are located closed to the highways A/4 Milano -Venezia and A/27 Belluno – Venezia (3km) closed to the Venice International Airport Marco Polo ( 4 km) and Railway Station of Mestre-Venezia ( 5 Km). Excellent location for rapid connections with Venice also in night time and for excursions to the cities of Verona and Garda Lake, Padova Treviso. Jesolo beach with its fine sand is 35 km far from our house. Dolomiti mountains with the famous Cortina, the Dolomiti's pearl, easy to get by motorway. In the surrounding San Giuliano Park on the lagoon offers astonishing view of Venice.

Volkswagen is recalling 3,877 units of the Vento in India that were found to be exceeding Carbon Monoxide (CO) emission limits set by the ARAI.
The 3,877 units of the Vento sedan that the German carmaker is recalling use the 1.5-litre diesel engine and the 5-speed manual gearbox. VW has also stopped the sales of Diesel Vento's using the manual gearbox with immediate effect.
Volkswagen is currently analysing the issue with the engine and gearbox combination and propose technical measures to ARAI to solve the issue at the earliest.
Once the carmaker gets approval from the ARAI for the technical measures that will fix the CO emissions issues, it will implement them and restart production and sales of the affected vehicles.
Volkswagen claims that the issue only affects the manual gearbox version of Vento with 1.5-litre diesel engine and is not connected to the global emissions scandal.
The company claims that the automatic gearbox version of the Vento diesel and all diesel versions of the Polo hatchback are not affected by the CO emissions issue.

When John Bradley's 12-year-old son was killed in a boating accident five years ago, he drew on 30 years spent with indigenous people in Australia's far north to deal with the grief.
''It's weird, but I'm a more contented person now; I'm more present for people,'' says Bradley, 51, the deputy director of Monash University's Centre for Australian Studies. ''It taught me life is too short for crap - you've got to grasp the world here and now.''
That's something the Yanyuwa people, based near the Gulf of Carpentaria, have known for thousands of years.
Bradley learnt about the Yanyuwa after arriving in Borroloola, as a 20-year-old schoolteacher. The Northern Territory town had 15 whites and 500 indigenous people, many of whom sat drinking all day under a mango tree.
''As a stranger, I thought 'oh my god, this is just the pits','' he recalls.
One day, as he passed some indigenous people on his way to school, one asked for help to ''get a killer''. Having grown up on a farm in central Victoria, Bradley knew a killer meant an animal to eat, and he knew how to use a gun. He also had a car.
That encounter led to more. ''The indigenous population disappeared on the weekend - I wanted to know what they did,'' Bradley says.
Gradually, he was invited on forays into the bush and on boats to remote islands. He learnt their language and became fascinated with the culture.
The other white people were enraged. ''You were expected to be a good white boy. Don't have too much to do with the indigenous people and drink a lot of beer.''
A storekeeper handed him some black Nugget and said: ''Go paint yourself, that's all you're getting from here.''
Bradley spent four years teaching indigenous children, which involved travelling by boat to remote communities and sleeping in a swag.
After realising he loved studying indigenous culture but not the teaching part, Bradley switched to the public service, working for an aboriginal sites protection authority then studying for a PhD in anthropology and zoology.
Along the way, he learnt to speak fluent Yanyuwa (now spoken only by five others) and to sing their ''songlines''. These are songs intimately related to country, full of all sorts of detail about animals, plants, places, ancestors, seasons and ceremonies.
''I fell in love with the singing - the notion of what it means to be able to sing country.'' Even now in his urban backyard in Melbourne, Bradley says he may ''sing'' a willy wagtail on the fence because he knows its song.
The songlines extend to memories of extinct species, such as the golden bandicoot, which Bradley says existed near Boroloola and is increasingly supported by science.
For the past three years, Bradley has been animating stories in English and Yanyuwa, to help the elders build a conversation with disenfranchised young indigenous people.
He's also working on a second book about how the songlines hold incredibly detailed - and accurate - knowledge about marine turtles and dugongs.
As for the still thorny issue of how white Australia can reconcile with its indigenous people, Bradley believes the starting point is to recognise that at colonisation there were 250 groups of indigenous people speaking 600 dialects.
''Indigenous people are able to live with great complexity,'' he says. ''But bureaucracies and governments are searching for simple answers. They rarely sit down and listen to what indigenous people want - and some have really good ideas for their own community.''
* Singing Saltwater Country: Journey to the Songlines of Carpentaria by John Bradley (Allen & Unwin, $39.99)
Biggest break My parents saying ''You don't have to be a farmer - go out into the world''.
Biggest achievement My children [aged 22 and 19]. They're compassionate and wise young people who know what it means to be human.
Biggest regret I don't have any really. We all do silly things but we can learn from them.
Best investment For me, it's not money. It was just hanging about in the Gulf [of Carpentaria] for 30 years. It got me a PhD and I met a very generous group of indigenous people.
Worst investment I really couldn't say I've had a bad investment.
Attitude to money It's there and we use it but that's it. Sometimes experiences have got nothing to do with money and they're the richest you have.
Personal philosophy If I was philosophical about it, I'd say a good dose of Jewish social ethics mixed with Buddhist practice and Yanyuwa [an indigenous group]. Life is complex.

On July 4th, 1976, a group of New York City Transit employees opened the "New York Transit Exhibit" as part of the United States Bicentennial celebrations. Housed in the decommissioned IND Court Street Station in Downtown Brooklyn, the exhibit allowed visitors to climb aboard fifteen vintage subway and elevated cars and explore a variety of exhibits dedicated to the rich and sprawling history of mass transportation in New York City. Only meant to last two months, the Exhibit was so popular that its run was continually extended – for the next thirteen years. In 1989, the Exhibit was officially established as the New York Transit Museum.
The New York Transit Museum has grown substantially in the ensuing years, with the addition of the Grand Central Gallery Annex and Store in 1999, a major renovation to the Museum's Court Street Station home completed in 2003, and the opening of the Gabrielle Shubert Research Center in 2015. Not only has the Museum expanded its physical footprint and the extent of its historic collections, but its educational, public programming, and growing exhibit offerings have flourished as well – providing nostalgia, entertainment and information for the benefit and enjoyment of New Yorkers and transit-lovers young and old.
As we mark our 40th Anniversary we know it would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of dedicated volunteers, Board members, sponsors, donors, and MTA employees and Museum staff, both past and present. And of course, we could not have survived without the support of you – our visitors, who turned a temporary exhibition into the thriving cultural institution the New York Transit Museum is today.
Join us this summer in celebrating our 40th anniversary with three action-packed events featuring our vintage fleet of buses and train cars!
Sunday, June 12th, 9am – 11am | Tickets start at $35
Bring the whole family for private early access to the Museum in Downtown Brooklyn, breakfast and birthday cake, crafts and dancing, and unlimited rides on the Museum's vintage R 1/9 subway cars from the 1930s. They'll even take you for a spin on a vintage bus!
Sunday, June 12th, noon – 5pm | FREE
The Transit Museum is pulling out all the stops with an all-day, all-ages block party up above the Museum's subway-station home in Downtown Brooklyn. Schermerhorn Street will be closed to make way for transportation games, entertainment, and… beep-beep… a selection of vehicles from the Museum's vintage bus fleet! Admission to the Museum will be free all afternoon.
Saturday June 25 and Sunday, June 26, noon – 4pm | FREE with the swipe of a MetroCard!
The Museum's vintage train cars are headed on a special trip to the end of the line – the BMT Brighton line, that is! Ride the rails in historic style by hopping on and off a selection of the Museum's vintage fleet at the Brighton Beach station B/Q platforms, including BRT/BMT "Standards," BMT D-Type Triplex, IND R1/9s, and the Train of Many Metals, consisting of R38, R40 Slant, and R42 cars. A pop-up retail shop and hands-on activities for the whole family round out this day of fun at the Brighton Beach station!
To celebrate the Museum's 40th anniversary, artist Julia Rothman has created a collection of handmade paintings depicting the Museum and its extensive collection, entitled 40 Years, 40 Objects. The original paintings will be on view in an upcoming exhibit at the Transit Museum in Downtown Brooklyn, opening on June 12th.

A look at the Pope's most popular tweets, so far
Every one or two days, Pope Francis tweets a short message on his @Pontifex account. He conveys not only his message, but his closeness and humility. Above all, he provides advice and asks for prayers from his 14 million followers. The Pope's most popular tweet is from Easter 2014, and only four words long. It was retweeted 39,400 times, and favorited 36,000 times. The popularity Pope Francis enjoys developed the day of his election. So it's no surprise that second on the list, is his first ever tweet, with just under 36,000 retweets. He thanked everyone for their support and asked for prayers. A few days later, he took his message about a poor Church for the poor, online. In speaking about the "true powerâ? of service, he said that the Church's role in helping "the poor, the weak, the vulnerable.â? It had 24,700 retweets. Pope Francis constantly uses his Twitter profile to denounce themes related to the "throw-away culture,â? or the "globalization of indifference.â? His message asking for prayers for typhoon victims in the Philippines was retweeted by 34,000 followers. The Pope also has a special place for young people, and often issues tweets directed to them. He asks them to trust in God, or to trust in their God-given talents, in pushing forward in life. They respond with thousands of retweets. Lastly, among his top tweets, users will also find many references to sports, including this past World Cup, or to the responsibilities facing world leaders. And of course, his signature request, "Please pray for me,â? is along among the most popular. MAE/RCA RR FA -PR Up: YJA

Gene Robinson has an op-ed that makes one of the arguments I made yesterday about Congressman Peter King's upcoming hearings on the radicalization of American Muslims: the hearings will only help the jihadists in their propaganda and recruitment efforts.
And Richard Cohen elaborates on a different point I made yesterday, that this is just bigotry.

The United States is used to having a star in the ladies' figure skating field. After all, we are the country who produced Peggy Fleming, Dorothy Hamill, Tonya vs. Nancy and Michelle Kwan.
Don't count on that this time around.
Though 2006 Olympic silver medalist Sasha Cohen has a shot at making the U.S. team, the rest of the field lacks serious international credentials. Reigning U.S. champion Alissa Czisny took 11th at the 2009 World Championships. Rachel Flatt and Ashley Wagner both have had shining moments internationally, but lack consistency.
With just two spots available for these women, there will be even less of an opportunity for the American women to medal in Vancouver.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't tune into the U.S. championships -- the competition that helps decide the spots on the team -- this weekend. There will still be plenty of drama, with Cohen at the center.
After winning a silver medal at the 2006 Olympics in Torino, Cohen retired from figure skating. She spent time in college, dabbled in acting and even was a guest judge on "Project Runway." But that wasn't enough for her.
"It was great having fun for three years, but then it kind of seemed pointless. What am I waking up for?" Cohen said. "I have the next 50 years of my life to meander and figure things out. I want another year of intensity, I want to push myself to see what I'm capable of, set down the bottom line.
The biggest question of this weekend's competition is how will the layoff from skating affect Cohen? Her first public practice was strong, but will she able to wow us with her jumps and contortionist spins when the pressure is on? She has been known to crumble under pressure. At the 2006 Olympics, she was in the lead going into the free skate, but fell and lost her shot on the gold.
If Cohen gets one of the berths, the other one is up for grabs. All of the challengers are young and haven't skated in the Olympics. Czisny, the defending national champion, is the closest thing to a favorite, but Wagner and Flatt have the ability to be close on her heels, er, blades.
Stick with Fourth-Place Medal all weekend for coverage of the U.S. Figure Skating Championships.
