Urease and carbonic anhydrase (CA) are key enzymes in the chemical reaction of living organisms and have been found to be associated with calcification in a number of microorganisms and invertebrates. Three bacterial strains designated as AP4, AP6, and AP9 were isolated from highly alkaline soil samples using the enrichment culture technique. On the basis of various physiological tests and 16S rRNA sequence analysis, these three bacteria were identified as Bacillus sp., B. megaterium, and B. simplex. Further, these Bacillus species have been characterized for the production of urease and CA in the process of biocalcification. One of the isolates, AP6 produced 553 U/ml of urease and 5.61 EU/ml CA. All the strains were able to produce significant amount of exopolymeric substances and biofilm. Further, efficacy of these strains was tested for calcite production ability and results were correlated with urease and CA. Isolate AP6 precipitated 2.26 mg calcite/cell dry mass (mg). Our observations strongly suggest that it is not only urease but CA also plays an important role in microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation process. The current work demonstrates that urease and CA producing microbes can be utilized in biocalcification as a sealing agent for filling the gaps or cracks and fissures in constructed facilities and natural formations alike.

Back upstairs in the Stop 'N Shop office, it was early Sunday morning, near the end of their overnight shift. Sunil Patel and Carey M were resting after their night duty; they sat at the built-in desk talking about all the unfortunate business that had occurred at their supermarket lately.
"I can assure you, Mr. Carey, this is all very unusual," Sunil said.
"That's good," Carey M responded, sounding relieved. "I never would have thought that simply managing a store would have so much drama."
"No, no, do not worry. While visits by the police to collect shoplifters occur regularly, it is most unusual to have visits by the police for other reasons. In all my years, I cannot remember any other episode like this one. Very unusual indeed!"
Both of them looked absently at the video monitor over their head. The screen was divided into four rectangles, each section from a different part of the market. The four rectangles remained in view for 15 seconds, and then were replaced four different views again lasting for 15 seconds. After another 15 seconds, the second set of video feeds was replaced again by the first set. And the loop repeated itself, over and over again. It was both extraordinarily boring and mesmerizing to sit in the office and watch. Both Sunil and Carey M were currently transfixed. They watched in silence and said nothing to each other for several minutes.
"I feel so bad for that kid who got kidnapped," Carey M said with a sigh.
"Yes, so sad, so sad," Sunil agreed. "But the police will catch the people who did this terrible thing. Of this, I am certain."
Carey M smiled and looked at his manager.
"Really, I hope you're right! I just don't have a lot of faith in the police these days," Carey M replied.
Sunil Patel smiled back at him.
"I am right," Sunil said simply.
"How can you be so sure? That dumb-ass cop who was in here earlier doesn't exactly make me believe that we've got the best quality guys on the case."
Sunil smiled again.
"Fortunately, that policeman who was here in the office several hours ago is not the finest that the great city of New Haven has to offer," Sunil offered.
"What do you mean?" Carey M asked.
Sunil paused, sighed heavily, and then reached over to the computer. He tapped on the mouse and the screen lit up.
"What?" Carey M asked again.
"Patience, Carey. Let me show you."
"What? What are you going to show me?"
Sunil tapped around the screen until he found the file he was looking for. Once he had it, he double clicked and a video began to load. Moments later, a surveillance tape from the store archive began to play. Carey M watched in astonishment. It was from last Saturday night, from when the college kid had been in the store, just before he was assaulted and abducted in the parking lot outside. It showed Danny Leeman standing at the register, paying for his purchases. It also showed a large group of boys come into the line just behind him.
Sunil and Carey M watched the video slowly advance. It appeared that the college kid was engaged in a conversation with the guys in line. He turned to face them head on as he waited for his change. There were some aggressive movements that appeared directed at Danny. But Danny held his ground; at one point, he even leaned toward the group of guys, certainly not backing down from whatever it was they were talking about.
Carey M jumped out of his chair.
"Oh my god! This is great; this is exactly what the police need. If we can blow it up, maybe we can see their faces. Maybe we can see who they actually are, and then the police can go and find these creeps! And bring that kid back home!"
"Yes, Carey I think we can do that. This tape will be very helpful to the police. Indeed it will," Sunil agreed.
Carey M picked the landline phone out of its cradle on the desk.
"Then let's call them!" he shouted. "Let's call that officer that was just here! The sooner they see this, the sooner they can go and find that kid!"
Sunil raised his hand to calm his assistant.
"In due course, Carey," Sunil said. "Let the tape play for a moment, and you'll see what I am talking about."
The video continued to roll. All of the boys in the group were moving animatedly, making gestures toward the college kid in front of them. Carey M noticed that one of the boys toward the back of the little pack was not moving. He was standing very still, just staring ahead of him; even with the low quality of the film, the guy looked vaguely familiar to Carey M.
Then, in a flash, it was all over. Danny Leeman exited the check stand and appeared to begin to walk out of the store. The videotape began to capture other customers making their purchases, nothing out of the ordinary for Stop 'N Shop late on a weekend evening. Carey M glanced over at Sunil Patel; he didn't understand what was going on; he didn't see what Sunil appeared to see, what it was that his manager felt would definitely help to find the guy who was abducted.
Sunil tapped on the mouse a few times.
"While you were still up here in the office last night assisted the officer to obtain the copy of the parking lot surveillance that he had requested, I decided to go and take a look at some of the videotape footage from last Saturday night from inside of the store."
Bells were starting to go off inside of Carey M's brain.
"So, you're saying that these shots of the guys from inside the store will help to I.D. the suspects? And this video is better than the really dark one from outside?" Carey M asked.
"Yes Carey, just wait. You will see something very interesting in a moment," Sunil said.
Carey M watched the figures on the screen growing larger. Sunil used a zooming function to slowly provide a close-up of the lone person who was being still as his friends moved about wildly. As the still figure gradually came into better and better focus, Carey M couldn't believe his eyes! Sunil kept increasing the zoom. First the head and torso, then the chest, then the arms.
And there it was!
The arms!
The tattoo.
Tommy McKeon!
Carey M was seeing a close up of the fire tattoo emblazoned on the arms of the police officer who he had spent the earlier part of his work shift with inside the office at the back of the store. The same guy who Carey M had let copy the surveillance videotape from the parking lot. The same guy who Carey M was in the process of blowing, only to be interrupted by the call from downstairs telling him that his brother Jeremy was in the market.
Officer Tommy McKeon of the New Haven Police Department!
Even though he was not wearing his police uniform, the likeness was unmistakable. The top of his head with thinning brown hair. The perfect Gallic face. The chest and arms that could probably lift a Volkswagen over his head. And the tattoos of fire, starting at his shoulders and licking at his elbows.
Holy fucking shit! Officer Tommy McKeon was a part of the gang that beat the shit out of that poor college kid. And Officer Tommy McKeon was just in the market trying to get a copy of the parking lot videotape. The same videotape that would place him in the gang of bad guys who kidnapped somebody. No wonder Tommy wanted to remove the tape from the Stop 'N Shop completely. He was covering himself up.
"While you were upstairs in the office with that policeman, I did a little work on the store computer down in our Customer Service area. I thought I recognized his face," Sunil explained sheepishly.
"Holy crap!" Carey M said out loud. And I sucked his dick!
"So this is why I am certain we can help that young boy from the Oregon college out," Sunil said. "We simply have to turn this tape over to the New Haven police department, and they will find that the crime was carried out by one of their own. In the morning, after you and I are completed from our shift, we will go down to the station house together."
"Wow! Sunil, this is amazing! We can really help out here! This is a great bit of work you did!"
"Well...it was really nothing. Just in a days work as a store manager for this fine company."
"Still," Carey M said. "This is so cool. Just like on Hawaii-Five-O or something."
"Never mind," Carey M said. Obviously, his manager did not share his passion for the tropical crime drama. Or for Dan-o.
"I have already informed the corporate office that we are in possession of this second tape. I am expected to participate on a conference call shortly after our shift ends this morning. So if you have time, I would appreciate your help Carey," Sunil began. "We should apprise the other detectives at the New Haven police department of this second recording. I'm sure they would like to see it."
"Oh man, yeah," Carey M said, excitedly. Despite his life-long love of any kind of man in uniform, he had never been so closely involved in a crime, certainly not in helping to solve one. By Carey M's reasoning, just blowing a cop was cool, but it didn't really make the community a better place to live.
Carey M would love to help.
"Well, then it's settled then," Sunil said. "While I participate in this call, you will take the disk containing the surveillance video down to the police station."
"Great!" Carey M said. He was practically jumping out of his skin he was so stoked to be doing this.
"But you must remember to be careful, young man," Sunil advised. "We don't know exactly how they will react to being told that a member of the force appears to be involved in the disappearance of this unfortunate young man."
That was sobering.
Fuck! What if they were all in on it? Carey M would have to play his cards very carefully. He would have to size up the men (or maybe women) at the station using all of his powers of judgment.
That should pose no problem at all, Carey M reasoned. Sizing men up was one of his strongest qualities. He smiled to himself. Piece of cake.
Unless of course the officer behind that he had to speak with was a woman.
Then he was screwed.
Then Carey remembered his friend from the gym. Brian something. He taught classes at the health club Carey M went to. And he was freaking hot. Not as hot as Tommy McKeon maybe, but still. He went upstairs to punch out.
It had been quite a shift at the market and Carey M was confused. After signing off to the day team on Sunday morning, he walked to his car. He got in and closed the door. He needed time to think.
First, Carey M meets a cop from the New Haven. Who says he is investigating the disappearance of the kid who got beat up outside the store last Saturday night. It started out simple enough. Officer Tommy McKeon wants to see the surveillance tape. But then the guy has to take the tape back to the station and doesn't want any copies left behind at the store. Second, Carey M's manager, Sunil, becomes suspicious and leaves Carey M behind with the guy in the back office while Sunil boots up a different computer down in Customer Service. Then, when Carey M's brother Jeremy shows up unexpectedly, he and Officer McKeon finish up in the back office and the cop has what he wanted. But McKeon doesn't join Carey M to meet his brother; instead he bolts. Minutes later, they see the policeman in the parking lot outside involved in a heated discussion with some guy from Boston. And it turns out that the guy from Boston and his brother Jeremy know some of the same people. Weird. Finally, as their shift is coming to a close, Sunil informs Carey M that he recognized the cop on the surveillance tape downstairs in Customer Service; they view it together and fucking A! That's Tommy McKeon right in the middle of the group of guys who were just about to beat up that kid.
No wonder Tommy wanted the hard drive scrubbed clean. College kid comes into Stop 'N Shop, gets fag bashed, then disappears. And the tape would point directly to member of New Havens finest!
Holy crap!
So who was the guy that Tommy McKeon was arguing with outside the store? The guy from Boston? It seemed like the two of them knew each other pretty well.
Sunil said that he was going to drive over to the Police station with the other copy of the surveillance tape from Last Saturday night. But Carey M wondered if there wasn't more to it. Could that guy from up in Boston be involved too? That guy that his brother Jeremy seemed to be connected to?
There was only one way to find out. Carey M dialed his brother's cell phone.
The phone rang three times before anybody even heard it.
Jeremy M was sound asleep. He was sore everywhere. His legs, his feet, his butt. Even his cock ached from all he had put it through yesterday.
He yawned and reached across Paolo.
Paolo was laying on his back with a hard-on. He had cast the blanket aside and the sheet was tangled around one leg. The other leg and his dick were exposed. Jeremy M wanted to grab Paolo's cock instead of the phone. But he was a college TA now. With responsibilities. He glanced quickly at the name on the screen.
It was his brother.
Jeremy M answered before the end of the fourth ring, never taking his eyes off of the wiener laying there like a salami on Paolo's thigh.
"Hullo?" Jeremy M said into the phone, his voice cracking.
"Uh, hi Jeremy, this is Carey."
Jeremy M smiled. Of course it was Carey.
"Uh, sorry if I am calling pretty early," Carey M said.
Jeremy M lay back onto his back and switched the phone to his left ear in his left hand. His right hand he placed, as best he could, around the thickest part of Paolo's penis. He didn't make it all the way. Paolo noticed and moaned softly.
"No problem, I'm just kind of laying around," Jeremy M said into the phone.
Carey M laughed. "I'll bet," he said.
Jeremy M laughed too. As he adjusted the phone against his ear, he considered hopping aboard Paolo's dick and talking to his brother while he fucked the Brazilian again. Paolo sensed exactly what Jeremy M was thinking and held his cock straight up. For easier mounting.
Jeremy M smiled but stayed put beside him.
"So I need your help bro," Carey M. "You remember that cop you met last night?"
"Well, we've got some footage of him from inside the store," Carey M explained.
"Okay, so?"
"Well, he was right in the middle of that gang of guys from last Saturday night. He was one of the guys who were involved with that guy who was abducted."
"Holy shit!" Jeremy M said. No wonder the cop was acting so weird when they met him outside.
Jeremy M was gently stroking Paolo's cock as he talked to his brother. Paolo had his elbows behind his head, enjoying the attention.
"So to make things worse, when I was upstairs with the guy, just when you and your friend Paolo showed up, I had been helping him to get a copy of the video file from outside. He thought that was the only video we had, and he insisted on taking all copies of it over to the precinct station in New Haven. What the cop doesn't know is that we also have this other one. From another vantage point inside the store. That's the one that he shows up in. That's the one that puts the cop on the scene the night the college kid disappeared."
Jeremy stopped jacking Paolo's cock and sat up, his brain working quickly. Paolo frowned.
"So if the cop wanted to take all copies of the video away from the market, clearly he's covering up. He must be guilty of something," Jeremy M said excitedly.
"Exactly," Carey M said.
"Maybe he even knows where the kid is," Jeremy M said.
"Exactly," Carey M said. "In fact, maybe that's why we saw that weird thing between the cop and the dude from Boston in the market parking lot last night!"
"Hmm, that could be. That guy who knows one of my freshman students. Whoa!"
"That's why I called you," Carey M said. "I need your help. This whole thing has gotten complicated."
"You need my help? What the heck can I do?"
"Go with me to the police. Please!"
"Fuck, Carey! This sounds kind of dangerous. What if the all the cops are dirty? This is way over our heads."
"I know a guy," Carey M responded. "One of the instructors at my gym is also a cop. I can talk to him."
"Really, a cop who teaches at a club? Never heard of such a thing."
"He's pretty fucking cute too," Carey M said.
"I'm in," Jeremy M said.
Jeremy M hopped out of bed, his semi-boner bouncing against his lower abdomen.
"Cool, thanks bro. I'll come by and pick you up at Paolo's."
Jeremy M looked down at himself. He was nearly hard. He was coated in cum. And the guy in the bed had just repeatedly plowed his butt. He needed a shower, and he would have to be quick about it. He looked over at Paolo, who was now using his own hands to masturbate himself.
Paolo smiled. "Go," he said.
"This is to be continued," Jeremy M said as he jogged off to the bathroom.
Brian's arm was draped across my chest. He lay on his front side, I was on my back. While he slept, I had been staring at his very well defined back muscles for at least twenty minutes. For a guy who spent most of his time in a police uniform, he was surprisingly tan. Or was that just good genes? His skin was soft too, as if he'd been scrubbing it regularly. He even smelled good.
Man! Some guys had it all!
While I pondered the unfairness of my own genetic background, I was also deciding what to do about Brian's arm.
Half of me was trying to decide how to extricate myself from beneath his arm, the other half of me was not interested in moving at all. Right now, the half that was happy staying put was winning the battle. Plus I was trying to figure out if I could ever have back muscles like Brian.
Probably not.
Under the covers, I shifted my legs a little. Brian's body noticed and he stirred. His eyes opened.
I smiled at him.
"Hi," Brian said.
He kissed my nipple.
"Hi," I said back.
My nipple reacted by tenting up a tiny bit. Brian took a nibble. He tensed his arms in a half yawn.
"What time is it?" he asked.
I couldn't see the clock. "I have no idea," I said.
He twisted in the bed and reached across me, trying to grab hold of my cell phone on the nightstand. It was only quarter to eight, he announced.
Too early for a Sunday morning, we silently agreed.
Brian took my cell phone and rubbed the face of it across my chest. The cool glass against my skin was electrifying. My cock, pretty much spent from the events of the prior evening, dug deep and sprung to life.
The crook of Brian's arm rested lightly across the top of my dick head. The movement of my cock was noted. Brian grinned.
"Well good morning to you too," he said, lightly skating my phone across my torso in a figure eight.
He moved his mouth down to my dick and let it flop against his tongue.
"Uh," I started to say something, then decided against it. Let it happen, I told myself.
"Morning wood," Brian said, as he slobbered up and down the shaft of my wiener. "Very nice."
"Thanks," I laughed. I writhed on the bed as the top of my cock found Brian's throat.
For the next five minutes, Brian sucked my dick. I could easily have cum in his mouth, but part of me was holding off. I really had to pee, and I wasn't sure it was safe for me to just let go.
"Fuck! For a straight guy, you're pretty good at this," I said. It was true, he was.
"Who says I'm a straight guy?"
"You're a cop, right? Aren't all cops straight?"
Brian let my dick out of his mouth with a pop, but continued to jack me off with a hand. He looked up at me, his eyes serious.
"Does this look like something that a straight cop would do?" he asked.
"I don't know," I said. "Just keep doing it."
"Yes sir," Brian said. "Anything you say, sir."
"Good," I said.
For five more minutes, Brian edged me to the brink of orgasm and then brought me back gently. He licked my dick like a pro. Straight cop or not, I was impressed. I'd have to remember some of these moves.
"So how big is it anyway?" Brian asked.
"How big is what?"
Brian looked up at me again. "This," he said, holding my hard-on up for me to see it.
"Oh that, well, I don't really know actually," I lied.
He smiled.
"You're kidding me? Everyone knows how big their dick is."
I shrugged and looked away.
"Well let me see," Brian said, sitting up. He put his foot up against my cock. His foot was clearly longer.
"Okay so it's not as long as a foot."
I laughed out loud.
"That's impossible. Nobody's penis is as long as their foot," I said.
"Well, I thought you'd be pretty close," Brian said.
Since we were practically in a 69 position already, I took hold of Brian's foot and stuck his big toe into my mouth. He went back to stroking and licking my dick. I went back to moaning, on the verge of shooting my load into his mouth.
Brian let me do whatever I wanted to with his toes. They were nice and tasted more like the sheets from the bed than like shoes. He seemed to like it, so started to use my teeth as well.
"Don't!" he cried out suddenly. "That fucking tickles!"
I ignored him and grabbed his foot again. He moaned softly.
In response, Brian picked up the pace on my cock. I moaned loudly.
"You know you're gonna make me cum," I yelped, when I was absolutely sure it was just about to happen.
"Good," Brian said, before burying his head more deeply in my crotch. Brian's right hand and his entire mouth had my dick completely under his control. Brian's left hand jerked his one dick. While I slurped his foot, I looked at his cock. It was very possible that his own foot would give his cock a run for its money.
When I came, Brian never pulled away. I could feel him swallowing and sucking more out at the same time. I reached a hand over to take hold of Brian's rigid dick, but he had the situation fully in hand. He shot a load that made an arc high over the bed before landing with a splat on the lower part of my chest.
"Ahh," Brian said, with most of my dick still inside his mouth.
"Fucking ahh is right," I agreed. I flexed up and managed to get my lips around the top of Brian's dick. I milked the shaft with my hands and was rewarded with a tiny bit more of his juice.
"Ahh," Brian said louder. "Quit it! Not fair! It's too sensitive!"
"Yes sir," I said. But I gave him one final lick as I pulled my tongue away.
"Ahh, shit!" Brian squealed.
My cell phone rang. We glanced at one another, very happy for the timing.
"Hello?" I answered.
"TJ, it's Max."
He sounded out of breath.
"Max, what the heck? Where are you buddy? I was so worried."
"I have good news, you are down sitting, yes?" Max said. I could hear the strain in his voice. Of course I was sitting down. It was early on a Sunday morning.
"What is it Max? Did you get laid?"
"Yes, my good friend. I mean, no. I did not find love. Sadly. But I found something better."
"What could better than that for you Max?" I asked him.
"It is better. Much, much better. I found Danny!" I have him with me now!"
The first thing he noticed when he woke up was the sound of cars. Honking.
Danny Leeman blinked his eyes open. He had a whopping headache.
He heard a bird.
Despite his head, he smiled. He hadn't heard a bird in over a week. The side of his head felt funny. He reached up to touch it, his fingertips pressing lightly against his temple. It was crusted over, and very tender.
"Yow," he said quietly to himself. There didn't appear to be anybody else in the room other than him.
When he had finished examining himself with his fingertips, he raised the hand in front of his face. His hand! He could move his hand! He wasn't handcuffed!
He raised his head up.
"Yow!" this time out loud. Everything above his neck ached.
"Oh hello there," a voice behind him said.
Danny twisted his neck to see who had spoken to him. The effort to turn his neck caused him enormous pain and he howled. Danny put his hand back onto his forehead, closed his eyes and fell back against the pillow on the couch.
"Take it easy, Danny Leeman," the voice said. "You will be okay, I have evaluated your condition and it is not serious."
"What? What do you mean? It's not serious?! It feels like the whole fucking side of my head got kicked in!"
"It did not get kicked in," the voice responded. "It is not kicked in, in other words."
"What?" Danny tried to turn again. He winced in pain.
Max stood up and came to stand directly in front of Danny.
Danny squinted and looked Max up and down.
"Who? Who are you? Where's the guy with the tattoos?"
"My name is Max," Max replied. "I have secured your rescue. You are safe with me."
"Max? Rescue? What the hell are you talking about?"
"You are rescued. I mean to say, 'I rescued you.'"
"You did?"
"Yes Danny, you are safe now. Here with me."
Danny tried to shake his head, to get the cobwebs out. But doing so only made everything worse and he shrieked in pain again.
"But how could I be safe? Who are you? Where are the police? Where is my family?"
"Danny, I just said. I am Max. I saw a man walking with you in a parking lot. The man had placed a dark clothing over your head and he was moving your location. I intervened and you were rescued. Saved."
"Um, well good, thank you. But I still don't understand. You intervened? What does that mean? Are you a cop?"
"No Danny, I am not a member of the police. I go to school up in Boston, at MIT. I traveled to New Haven with my good friend TJ. He is very worried about you. He came here to try and find you out. But I find you out instead."
"What? Hold it! You know TJ? From Boston? He's here?"
"Yes, we will call him shortly. TJ is at a hotel. So is your brother David. They are both here in the city of New Haven," Max said.
Tears streamed from Danny's eyes at the mention of his brother's name. David and everyone else in the family had to worried to death about him.
"You mean? They are here? But how did you save me? The man with the tattoos was taking me outside. And then I don't remember anything after that."
"There was an altercation, a fight. And I prevailed. I took down the man and you got a little bit injured during the tussle," Max explained.
A tiny memory trace flashed across Danny's mind. The last time he had been handcuffed head and toe he remembered that the man, his captor, was talking with somebody outside of Danny's door. Danny wondered if the man standing in front of him now was that somebody.
Danny touched the side of his head lightly again.
"Are you a doctor or something? How do you know I am all right?" Danny asked.
Max chuckled.
"No Danny, I am not a doctor. I am a freshman at MIT. Physics major. I don't care very much for people with blood."
"People with blood? Don't all..."
"No, I mean people with blood on them. Like you have. On the side of your head. I tried to clean it up a little. But there is still some blood there, as you can tell," Max said patiently.
Very carefully, Danny rotated his neck from side to side. He winced in pain several times as his head turned very slowly.
"If you kicked the shit out of the guy with the tattoos, how come I seem to be the only one who got hurt?" Danny asked.
"You should have seen the other guy," Max answered with a laugh.
Danny suppressed a smile.
"Um, so where are we?"
"This is my hotel room," Max said. "I brought you here to clean you up after the rumble in the parking lot. And then you fell asleep."
"I fell asleep? Sounds like I was pretty much knocked out during the, the rumble."
"Well yes. And no. You did not sleep until you arrived with me here at this hotel room," Max said.
"And you are going to take me to see my brother?" Danny asked. "And TJ?"
"Yes Danny. We will go see them soon. I know the way, it is within walking distance to the hotel where I booked for TJ."
"What? You booked for TJ? I don't understand," Danny said, truly not getting it.
"Let's talk about all of this later, my friend. Let's get you all cleaned up and presentable first."
"My shower. You can take a shower. It's in there." Max pointed to the hotel bathroom.
"We're in a hotel? In New Haven? Which one?" Danny asked.
"This is the Courtyard. It is part of the large national hotel chain from the Marriott company," Max said.
"Courtyard? I think I remember that one," Danny said. "Before I got taken, I mean."
"Yes, very unfortunate," Max agreed, trying to look sad.
"So do I just go take a shower?"
"Yes," Max answered.
Danny stood up slowly. He put both of his hands on his head as he did.
"Of course, if you require assistance, I am available to help."
For the first time since he'd woken up, he looked carefully at Max. The guy wasn't bad looking actually. Probably Indian or Pakistani, dark hair pushed off to one side. Decent body.
If Danny's head felt just a little bit better, he might even consider taking the guy up on his offer of the shower.
"I think I'm good," Danny said. He shuffled his feet into the bathroom. The bright light was overwhelming and he yelped in pain again.
After a minute to allow his eyes to adjust, Danny pushed back the shower curtain and turned on the water. He took off his shirt and examined himself in the mirror. He seemed to be intact. His wrists had bruises though from where he had been shackled.
Could this whole nightmare finally be over? He thought of David and his family. He thought of TJ. How much time had passed? And what the fuck happened to the guy with the tattoos? As the warm water began to steam up the bathroom, his reflection gradually faded. It was fine though, he didn't need to see himself crying yet again.
Max picked up his cell phone and dialed the familiar number. This was the call he had been dying to make for so long.
And despite everything that had happened, Max was actually making it. His plan might work after all. He waited for TJ to pick up.
Then Max spoke into the phone. He too was crying.

New Delhi: The Centre today said states such as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand have not sought relief funds despite facing a drought-like situation.
"Despite a drought-like situation in states such as Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana and Jharkhand, they have not informed about the situation to the Centre," the Union Agriculture Ministry said in a statement.

Similarly, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh had also sought funds for tackling drought.
"Thereafter, the Centre has sent a team to assess the situation in these states," the statement said.
According to the Agriculture Ministry, total 302 districts are under the grip of drought. As per the Met Department, 18 states are facing drought-like situation.
The Ministry said the Centre can't initiate the process of releasing the relief fund to drought hit states unless the state governments declare drought in their states and seek funds.

PHP is a scripting language designed to fill the gap between SSI (Server Side Includes) and Perl, intended largely for the web environment. PHP has gained quite a following in recent times, and it is one of the forerunners in the Open Source software movement. Its popularity derives from its C-like syntax, its speed and its simplicity. PHP is currently divided into two major versions: PHP 4 and PHP 5, although PHP 4 is deprecated and is no longer developed or supplied with critical bug fixes. PHP 6 is currently under development.
If you've ever been to a website that needs you to login, you've probably encountered a server-side scripting language. Due to its market saturation, this means you've probably come across PHP. PHP was designed by Rasmus Lerdorf to display his resume online and to collect data from his visitors.
Basically, PHP allows a static web document to become dynamic. "PHP" is a recursive acronym that stands for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor". PHP preprocesses (that is, PHP processes before the output is sent to the browser) hypertext documents. Because of this, the pages can change before the user sees them, based on conditions. This can be used to write something to the page, create a table with a number of rows equal to the number of times the user has visited, or integrate the web page with a web database, such as MySQL.
Before you embark on the wonderful journey of Server Side Processing, it is recommended that you have some basic understanding of the HyperText Markup Language. PHP is also being used to build GUI-driven applications; PHP-GTK is used to build Graphical User Interfaces.

It is very difficult to differentiate ALD from other conditions, such as ADHD, epilepsy, autism, and other learning disabilities; particularly if you are not aware that genetic predisposition to the disease runs in your family.
Be sure that your child's physician is considering the possibility of ALD…
Especially if you have a family history of neurological problems.

Roberto Solis
Roberto Solis (born 1945) is an armored car robber, convicted murderer and poet. He has more than 30 aliases including Pancho Aguila, a pen name he used in prison while writing poetry.
Solis served 17 years in prison for murdering a security guard during a robbery in 1969.[1][2] He was given parole in 1992.[3] Following his release, he met Heather Tallchief, who became employed by a security company at his urging. In October 1993, following Solis' instructions, Tallchief drove away in an armored vehicle containing $2.5 million.[2][3] The two subsequently went on the run and had a child.[4] Tallchief gave herself up in September 2005, but Solis is still at large.[3]

Pöttinger has rounded off its range of NOVACAT rear mowers: in addition to the NOVACAT 402, 442 and 352, there are now new generation NOVACAT 262 and 302 mowers, each available with ED tine-type or RC roller-type conditioner, or with swath formers instead of a conditioner.
The two new rear-mounted mowers NOVACAT 262 And 302 have working widths of 2.62 and 3.04 m. A central element on these two models is the unique hydraulic lower linkage arm that enables easy mounting without having to adjust the tractor hitch struts. This guarantees the highest level of convenience: using the hydraulic lower linkage arm, the headstock can always be brought into the correct horizontal position - independently of the geometry of the tractor hitch. In addition, this system optimises weight alleviation as well as providing excellent ground clearance (50 cm on the inside) for headland turns and transport on the road. Ground tracking is also optimised as a consequence.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
It was so refreshing to find out about the web series, "Blue." I first
became aware of Julia Stiles' work years ago at the Seattle Film Fest
in 1998's "Wicked," a somewhat campy film. Nonetheless, Stiles' acting
is part of what saves it from being a camp throwaway film. After that,
I had the opportunity to see her in many other movies and have always
admired her work as an actor.
"Blue" is the type of series that makes viewers care about the characters, where they have been and where they are headed. The struggles of a single mom are a fact of life in today's society, so many people can relate to them. Stiles' characterization is complex enough to find watching her in her day to day life interesting and provocative.
Julia Stiles has an amazing chemistry with Uriah Shelton, who plays her teen son. This is an essential aspect of the series, as her role as mother is one of the main driving forces for the tough decisions that she makes. While those choices involve illicit and illegal activities, she does not become a cliché - which would be very easy to do in this type of situation. Instead, she adds a frankness that is both troubling but at the same time, sympathetic.

Robert De Niro Jr. hosts a documentary about his artist father, who
died in 1993. It is essentially a love letter detailing his father's
life and work. During the 1940s-50s, Robert De Niro Sr. was somewhat
famous on his own, as a new American painter. Clearly, De Niro Sr.'s
work was influenced by artists such as Van Gogh, but without attempting
to imitating them. However, his figurative abstract expressionism
became overshadowed by even newer abstract art such as by the
celebrated Jackson Pollack and later, Andy Warhol.
Nonetheless, De Niro Sr. continued to paint for the rest of his life. The documentary features certain journal entries during those years, providing insight into his artistic and personal struggles. His son, De Niro Jr. discusses these struggles, as several of his father's personal friends describe their take on his life and work.
Given that the actor, Robert De Niro has always been known as rather reclusive, rarely giving interviews or providing insight into his life - this documentary serves as a peak into his upbringing and relationship with one of his most cherished family members - his father. Also revealed is that De Niro Sr. separated from his wife, artist Virginia Admiral when De Niro Jr. was quite young. However, father and son remained close through the years. De Niro Sr. was also homosexual, but because of the times, never came out.
Another issue that is clear in this documentary is what is true for every artist - regardless of the branch: talent is never enough. In fact, what usually separates those who flourish on a notable level and those who do not is success at promotion.
De Niro Jr. maintained his father's studio and continued to promote his father's work to not only preserve his memory for the art world, but for his family. De Niro's aim in doing this documentary was to give his father his due - something he feels he could have done more about in prior years. Because of this documentary, perhaps the newer generation may become more aware of De Niro's father so that when the name Robert De Niro is heard, they may wonder if it refers to father or son.

I am a big fan of director Nicole Holofcener's work, as well as actors
James Gandolfini, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Catherine Keener and Toni
Collette - but I put off seeing this film as it came out right on the
heels of James Gandolfini's death. I did not know him, but know people
who did - so it felt "too soon" to see it. I knew I would see it one
day - and that day finally came last night. "Enough Said" is one of
those films I knew I would like; after seeing so many movies - you kind
of know when something is going to be worth watching. In this case, the
body of work of the director and players really speaks for itself, so I
was confident that I would enjoy this film. What I didn't know,
however, was just how much.
While billed as a "romantic comedy," this film is far more than that. It is an exploration into middle aged life; the maturity that goes along with having "been there, done that," but it also contains a great deal of wry humor that only can come from that experience. Thus, the film richly details the lives of two people who clearly have their own personal priorities - though the film doesn't concentrate much on them. Instead, the story focuses upon how these two interact with both those around them, as well as themselves.
This film is also written sans the obnoxious, in your face humor that seems so prevalent in today's American film comedies - which is one of the reasons it is so charming and smart. However, Ms. Holofcener demonstrates how acutely aware of the (often lack of ) manners and morals of the self-involved middle class of the West Coast. For instance, the attention paid to the various vanities and hypocritical antics of the characters exemplifies how their privileged existence defines their apathetic complacency, as well as passive aggression. And yet, it is easy to still care about all of them, because they are not so ridiculously written as to be entirely mean spirited.
The brilliant Julie Louis-Dreyfus approaches the Eva character as a real woman, who is a caring mother on a journey of self-discovery and a new life that is to begin as her daughter goes off to college - something that she has in common with James Gandolfini's Albert - also a parent on the brink of empty next syndrome. Eva faces various emotional challenges throughout the film, many of which are pure comic genius, without being over the top.
Unlike most other movies I see, I did not want this movie to end. I wanted to see how these characters continued on with their lives - ever hopeful that love would develop and prevail.
Part of the irony of this film is that it is James Gandolfini's last and that one gets the feeling that this role - unlike the many others he has played to perfection - is more like him than any other. In this film, he was able to show the softest side of himself that few would have otherwise ever seen. Acquaintances I have who know him has described him as very caring and playful, delving into intensity when necessary to "get to where he needed to go" (as he himself said on "Inside the Actors Studio"). Of course, this all speaks to his innate, natural acting ability - a remarkable gift that was never lost on him - though his friends and family, as well as the public will surely feel the loss.

Having seen a number of documentaries concerning American men who seek
to find women in other countries, I had expected a much different
documentary than this one. This story concerns only one middle aged man
who had been pursuing Asian women for around 5 years.
I first wondered why Steven didn't consider Asian-Americans, but as I watched, it became more than apparent why he stuck to looking outside of the U.S. As a man of meager means, American women - regardless of their heritage usually have standards that exceed those of what he had to offer, particularly given the fact that he was 60 years old. For instance, while Steven managed to keep an apartment in San Francisco, it was cramped, crowded and very cluttered. He also had a working class job that probably paid little more than minimum wage - as a toll booth cashier - with little to no hope for advancement.
Before the Internet, Steven began his search for the perfect Asian mate using snail mail services. Having met a few women, he was still on the hunt in the digital age. However, he had since decided to focus solely upon Chinese women. The reason for this did not seem to have been made clear.
He'd met a few promising subjects - however, "Sandy" had now become the focus of Steven's affections. He'd made a few trips to China to visit with her and they seemed to have hit it off (but we don't get so see those visits). Not only was there a pronounced language barrier (in fact, so much so that director Debbie Lum functioned as their interpreter), but they were also facing a 30 year age difference.
Since the filmmaker herself is Chinese - this added another interesting element to the documentary in a number of ways. In addition to being the couple's interpreter, director Lum found herself in the midst of relationship discord as she interpreted communication when the couple hit stumbling blocks. In fact, they had both come to rely upon her, calling at off times when the documentary was not being filmed. Lum was generally uncomfortable with this; however, she took it all in stride and gently told them that she would not be able to continue to function in that way once the documentary was finished.
For instance, Sandy finds some photos of Molly - Steven's last serious Chinese "girlfriend" and becomes enraged enough that she considers going back to China. And yet, she decides to tough it out -- vowing to leave him after she gets educated and has a job. Unbeknownst to Steven, she brings this up on several occasions - each time she becomes frustrated with him.
Despite the many troubling aspects of this relationship - there does appear to be a mutuality in terms of their feelings for one another. At the end of the film, it is revealed whether or not the couple actually makes it, which makes the story well worth watching.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This TV series may just well be one of the best and most thoughtfully
written, acted and produced of all time. The magnificent attention to
detail of the era contributes greatly to its affect. Character arcs of
Don Draper and Peggy Olson are masterfully portrayed by Jon Hamm and
Elisabeth Moss. The rest of the cast beautifully blends into each story
line such that it almost feels like watching a docudrama at times.
Early on, the way that Peggy handles her pregnancy by the married cad, Pete Campbell (played brilliantly by Vincent Kartheiser) seems well beyond that time period, and yet, as driven as she is - she will stop at nothing to succeed in her career - so it all makes sense. And yet, the delicacy of her personality is a sharp contrast to the decisions that she makes. Her mentor, Don, becomes her nemesis and later works for her -- an endlessly intriguing plot twist to watch.
It's hard not to feel empathy for the icy Betty Draper -- after all, how is a woman supposed to act with a blatantly philandering husband? It's not like she has no romantic interest in him; in fact, quite the contrary. It is heartbreaking to watch her pine away for her own husband. And yet, during those times, infidelity was not only rampant, it seemed to be accepted - along with all of the other indignities that women suffered during that era.
Of course, it wouldn't be fair not to mention how office manager Joan's strengths become increasingly accentuated. Not only does she have a respected place in the firm - to the point of being included as more than just a stenographer during executive meetings. However, watching her be sent up like a sacrificial lamb to screw a prospective client is not only distasteful, but in many ways makes no sense. However, as stated before, this was how women were ultimately treated then -- like objects who were created for the pleasure and service of men. So, in a way, her stature at the firm is just another way to exploit her talents, as opposed to actually respecting what she brings to the table.
While I am sorry to see the end of this magnificent TV series - it's very interesting to see how the story line plays out as the 1960s unfold - and businesses such as these progress into the future -- discarding the old guard -- or, do they really?
In any event, as Don Draper's demise continues, it is great to see how perhaps the female characters in this series not only struggle to receive their equal due, but may go down in the historical cultural record book as American role models, despite whether or not it was intended. But then, with a brilliant writer, creator and producer such as Matt Weiner (whose credits include The Sopranos) - it's all probably "on purpose."
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Much like "It's Complicated," this film utilizes the stellar acting
chops of actors with a great deal of both comedic and dramatic
experience. That is probably one of the factors that makes it so great.
The pairing of Keaton and Nicholson is brilliant. Their chemistry is undeniable - and their ability to make their uncomfortable situation palatable speaks to their acting chops.
While the story may seem unfathomable, life can be stranger than fiction so it isn't hard to suspend disbelief on this one. Especially keeping in mind that this is a romantic comedy, after all. This film is not meant to be taken too seriously. But it IS seriously hilarious!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
It was so refreshing to see a comedy that was geared toward the
forgotten audience -- that is, people past their 30s. This film is so
great that any age audience could enjoy it. Granted, they may not get
all the jokes, because some of the irony is something you get over time
- but it has enough to keep just about anyone's interest.
It is important to keep in mind that this film is meant to be lighthearted and funny. Thus, it should be enjoyed that way, rather than trying to make it something it was never meant to be. Nor should it be compared against other dramatic work of the actors.
The pairing of Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin is brilliant. All of these actors possess a pedigree such that their names speak for themselves. Therefore, watching them in this movie is a pure joy.
Alec Baldwin's teen-aged antics are positively hilarious. Just about everyone can find themselves in a situation where the are reunited with an ex for some reason - so even this story is fathomable, making it all the more funny. More, please! Hollywood -- are you listening? We don't need more stupid movies with Katherine Heigl and Jennifer Aniston -- we need movies that celebrate all ages of life. People over 40, after all, are not dead yet!

Having been a fan of Stevie's for over 40 years, I was thrilled to find
that this documentary provides an intimate view into her creative
process, which few artists ever offer in such an open and honest way.
Also, having a bird's eye view into her first time writing a song with
a collaborator in the same room was very interesting and could prove
helpful and instructive for those interested in writing songs with
other people.
Watching her write songs and interact with band members and musicians was a real treat. It was more than evident that her passion and skill as a singer-songwriter has only become stronger over time.

I'll admit that I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to the teen horror
flick genre, which I assumed this was. I was wrong. It became available
for me to watch - so I thought "Why not?" I've grown to like Jennifer
Lawrence's work - so I figured I just may like it.
What I thought would be predictable actually had enough substance to keep me interested, which is rare in this type of film. But then, I already admitted that this was not, in reality the type of film I thought it would be. That is, a film directed mostly at teens. I'm sure they were going for the teen audience and got it, but as an adult, I was pleasantly surprised by the writing and acting.
The story line starts with a mother and daughter, retreating to the woods in a gorgeous home with low rent, due to a tragedy that took place at the house next door. Mother and daughter have their own crosses to bear and relationship to heal after somewhat of an estrangement, which provides the tension necessary for rebellion (not that a teen ever needed that to rebel).
While mother thought the house was empty, she is soon alarmed to learn that the sole survivor of the tragedy, a brooding young man, now lives alone in the creepy house. A little factoid that apparently she was not told by her slimy realtor (who has an equally slimy son). Buyers and renters beware: It just goes to show you, "if it is too good to be true, it probably is."
And, you guessed it, her daughter becomes enamored with him the next door brooder. It would at first seem, simply because her mother doesn't want her to. It makes sense though, because recovering wounded birds such as her daughter often seek to help others as part of their own therapy.
As usual, Lawrence has a naturally disarming screen presence that serves to add credibility to an otherwise, what may seem to be a questionable situation. But life is stranger than fiction, so I never felt entirely comfortable dismissing story lines the same way that so many others do. For those people, I say go watch some documentaries; movies for entertainment, by their very nature - were meant to be less than plausible.
The creepy boy next door does have shades of Norman Bates, but that similarity is limited. But instead of his mother, his fixation turns out to be on his long-dead sister. Or is she really dead? Truth is, I found this film entertaining and was not bored for one minute. I don't know what that says about me, but I don't mind admitting that I really enjoyed watching this film and found the final twist very well written, presented and quite satisfying. And it wasn't painful to watch the entire movie to get to the truth.

It is no easy task to do a film about a writer, given that what occurs
inside a writer's head is so intimate and often misunderstood.
Everything is open to interpretation and each reader can tend to
translate an author's words differently.
Gwyneth Paltrow's portrayal of the author is compelling; she deftly neither over or under plays Plath. Daniel Craig as Ted Hughes displays a chemistry with Paltrow that is very believable. As a result of their renderings, the story has much more power and significance than it would if the actors were more obvious and dramatic in their portrayals.
For all of its gloom and doom, "Sylvia" provides an introspective look into the life and world of a woman struggling to find her own identity both as an individual and as a woman. Long before the cultural feminist awakening, Plath wrote astounding poetry that detailed the victimization, rebellion and resultant rage of so many women. As such, she essentially paved the way and gave "permission" for women to write in the most honest, raw and soulful way possible. It is important to know this before seeing the movie; otherwise, much of its true meaning may go lost.
The story begins with Plath as an American studying at Cambridge. Her writing appears to be less than well received. However, this is to be expected during this particularly male dominated time. She meets the dashing poet, Ted Hughes, at a party she is attending after becoming aware that those responsible for her latest less than favorable review will be there. Ted insists that it was the editor who ripped her piece apart into shreds but it is clear that Sylvia knows differently.
Still, Plath recognized the brilliance of his work and winds up kissing him by the end of the evening, whereupon she bit his cheek, which drew blood. Thus began their passionate love affair. They move in 1956 to her Massachusetts hometown, where they marry and she sets about teaching at Smith. Four years later, upon struggling to write there, Ted insists that they go back to England. In a lonely country cottage, Sylvia develops the same writer's block problem, favoring baking over writing. Ted notices this, encouraging her to "find a subject" and write. Could be her life was too idyllic to find a subject; Ted would provide plenty of material in the future.
They have two children. Plath struggles to separate herself from wife and motherhood in order to express something relevant. Sylvia confirms her suspicions that Ted is having an affair, whereupon they separate but not before she burns some of his belongings. One could say that this behavior is outrageous however, so is having an affair while married.
However, as a student of psychoanalysis, Plath comes to the realization that she, in fact, had a hand in Ted's adultery; insisting that she "conjured" it essentially willing it into existence. It is an interesting point that is rarely explored in this type of film. That Plath would take the entire blame for her husband's adultery suggests that at the base of suffering from depression and mental illness is a low level of self esteem and self worth, coupled with the inability to differentiate fantasy from reality.
This could be why the heartbroken, 29 year old Sylvia embarked upon her extraordinary journey of self-expression, also perhaps prompting her to arrange for a brief coupling with her estranged husband. However, this last ditch attempt at reconciliation is dashed when Ted informs her that the woman he has been having an affair with is pregnant. While he could have decided to reunite with his wife, it is clear that he had no intention to do so. For the already emotionally fragile Plath, this had to be a major devastation.
During her marital estrangement, Plath wrote some of her most compelling masterpieces. Unable to reconcile her life, Ted's betrayal and the end of her marriage, Plath gassed herself at 31 years old in the kitchen after setting out food and taping her children's door to protect them. After her death, her final collection, Ariel was published, as were the books Crossing the Water and Winter Trees in 1971. As is the case with many artists, her work became ever more notable, garnering the Pulitzer Prize in 1981 for a book of her Collected Poems.

Road traffic generates costs that can be split into those directly borne by road users and those imposed on others and the public (so-called external costs, e.g. air pollution, noise pollution, loss of time due to congestion). According to a Commission's Proposal Member States are to be authorised to include the external costs of road freight transport into road tolls levied on HGV (so-called internalisation). The European Parliament and the Council have not yet reached any agreement on said Proposal. To this end, the Council asked the Commission to have an analysis drawn up exploring the impacts of a possible internalisation.
In 2007, with its Green Paper "Towards a new culture for urban mobility" [COM(2007) 551; cp. cepPolicyBrief] the Commission initiated a consultation. Based on the results of that consultation the submitted Action Plan is to set out a "coherent framework" for "EU initiatives" by 2012. In detail, the Commission plans to introduce action concerning the user-friendliness, environmental friendliness, funding, optimisation and exchange of knowledge regarding urban transport.
With its Communication the Commission is preparing the ground for a White Paper to be submitted next year on transport policy from 2010 to 2020. Since structural changes in transport policy require long-term implementation periods, the Commission is already planning for the period up till 2060.
The concept of a "European maritime transport space without barriers" aims to eliminate or simplify administrative procedures in intra-EU maritime transport. Thus it is to be made "more attractive, more efficient and more competitive" and more environmentally friendly.
The Commission wishes to accelerate the deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and to establish a legal framework. In its Action Plan the Commission calls for action and sets a timeframe for the deployment and improvement of single ITS.
The creation of freight corridors aims to establish a European rail network and to increase the competitiveness of rail transport. As a consequence, freight transport will be given priority over passenger transport.
The EU Commission's Proposal for a Directive enables Member States to incorporate costs of air pollution, noise pollution and congestion caused by heavy goods vehicles (HGV) in tolls paid for the use of public roads. The aim is to make transport more sustainable by way of internalising "external costs".

Dam removal is one of the most exciting new developments in river conservation in the U.S. and abroad. Removing dams is a central feature of restoring river health and the natural functioning of aquatic environments. Dams that are no longer useful, or that are terribly environmentally damaging, are candidates for removal. Small or large, removing a dam can have an amazing effect on river health as well as provide exciting opportunities for communities and people to rally around.
