Chapter 29
A reunion with Logan...six years. Waiting for his phone call the morning after? Eternity. Veronica occupied her time with theories.
Theory 1 – the missing girl was none other than the drunken, puking girl Veronica had saved from public humiliation and then left in what she had thought were the capable hands of Pan High's most treacherous math teacher, Mrs. Lucca. However, it seemed unlikely though that Lucca would have let her out of her sight, except to deposit her into the backseat of her parents' sedan.
Theory 2 – The allegedly "missing" student was not really missing at all. Veronica would have never put her father through the graying, balding, and worry, but didn't kids end up breaking curfew all the time after prom? How does one conclude less than ten hours after the end of the prom that the girl was, in fact, missing?
Theory 3 – Someone had been watching her a lot more closely than she had been watching for evidence of human trafficking in the past few weeks. Was the photograph of her and Logan at all connected with the disappearances? Could it have been taken by a jealous student with a crush of her own on Logan? A curious colleague of Logan's hellbent on ruining his career, credibility, and reputation? Her ex-lover, Matt, trying to scare her away from a chance at true happiness?
The more Veronica thought, the more her head ached. She anxiously awaited sounds of stirring within the house because she thought she might go batshit crazy if she couldn't talk this through with Wallace or Mac, or hell, she'd even settle for Dick's dipshit logic right now.
Suddenly her phone began to zip across her nightstand. ZeeeeeZeeeeeZEEEE. Veronica's pulse quickened as she slid her finger across the screen to unlock her phone. It was Logan.
Like magic. I will it, and it happens.
"Hello?" she breathed into the phone. The two-syllable word passed her lips with such force, she wondered if it sent him reeling.
"I need to see you now," Logan began without preamble.
Normally a demand like that would send shivers down her spine, but his somber tone was enough to push the very air from her lungs and cause unpleasant heart palpitations.
"What's going on?" Veronica asked tentatively, hoping for at least a clue that would prepare her for the horrors that were sure to follow.
"Nope, you're not getting anything out of me til you're here. I need to make sure you're sitting down for this."
Sitting down? Wait til he hears my news.
"I would say to stop over, but we've got a full house right now." Not to mention, if you show up on my doorstep, my father really might never talk to me again. The feeling of losing Keith's approval of her every whim was so foreign to her that it only compounded the impending doom she was feeling.
"No, I need you to come here. I got home later than I expected to, and Aimee was a little cranky this morning because I think she expected her boyfriend to come over and keep her company, but he never showed last night. I need to be here when Jake wakes up anyway."
"I'll be there in twenty minutes."
Exactly twenty minutes and a lukewarm shower later, Veronica treaded the steps to Logan's porch lightly. Before she could tap on the open door, Logan appeared behind the screen door with two coffee mugs in hand.
"I put a pot of coffee on," he said, stating the abundantly obvious, while ushering her into his home.
"Coffee, huh? If that's not a sign that we're getting older, I don't know what is," Veronica quipped, grasping a mug from his hand.
"Well, what can I say? Drama, crime, and chaos seem to follow you; I'm just trying to keep up," he responded edgily.
Veronica face crumpled and her shoulders sagged under the weight of his lightly-intentioned words. She turned away from him quickly to hide her disappointment.
When her mother had left and Lilly had died and her father had become the butt every joke in Neptune, Veronica had learned to compartmentalize her feelings, and she prided herself on her ability to mask her emotions. She didn't know if she was overtired, oversensitized or just head over heels in love and sick of denying it, but Logan's dig, joke or not, was like a knife to her heart. Tears pricked at her eyes as she fingered a piece of Jake's art work that hung from the fridge by a magnet. Logan had built a nice solid life for himself. He had a career that allowed him to stay out of the harsh limelight, and he had a little boy who meant the world to him. What was she doing here, dragging him into a criminal investigation that could derail his career or threaten the safety of his family? It didn't matter that she wasn't really a high school student. The circumstances could easily be explained, but it wouldn't change the fact that it would messily drag him back into the spotlight that he had clearly spent years trying to evade.
"Veronica, I didn't mean that the way it sounded."
But she couldn't bring herself to respond. She knew Logan cared for her to a fault. She had made a lot of bad decisions in her life, and probably the worst was walking away from him in the past. She wasn't sure that they could get back to where they were before, even with a night of passion that proved the spark was still there. Too much had changed.
She felt Logan's presence behind her, just inches away. "Let's face it, Veronica, I couldn't stay away from you if I wanted to." His arms slowly circled around her petite frame as he nuzzled his face into neck. "And I don't want to," he murmured, his lips now pressing into her neck, causing a slow-burning blush to spread over her face and neck.
"Being with me complicates your life. Is it really worth it to you?" Veronica asked, as she moved out of his embrace to turn and face him.
There are times when words can smooth over all the hurt one is feeling. There are times when talking things through can clear up all miscommunications. This wasn't one of those times.
Logan's brown eyes stared intently into hers for a fraction of a second before his hands clasped her tiny face and tipped her mouth open, plunging in for a kiss that made her world stop rotating on its axis. She reached her arms up around his neck to pull him tighter, as he grasped at her hips fiercely to make their bodies one.
Time stopped, crime ceased, and the background fell away from them. When Veronica pulled back, it was to catch her ragged breath, but as she drew her hand across her swollen lips, she spied a tiny little boy, his hair still wet from sleep and pushed up on both sides, giving him a style that resembled a Mohawk. Her eyes were wide, and embarrassment danced over her features. Jake stood at the corner of the room, looking at them curiously.
It was hard to believe that there was a third person in the equation that was Jake, because he was the spitting image of Logan – every feature, every mannerism, even the way he stared at her so intently and unwavering. His cheeks were pink and chubby, and a small, tattered blanket was held tightly in his grasp and draped the floor. He was the picture of innocence, and represented the sweetness of childhood that Logan had been deprived of, growing up with two selfish movie star parents.
Logan recovered more quickly than Veronica. "Hey buddy. You remember Veronica, right?"
Jake remained silent, standing in the corner of the room, and for a brief second, Veronica wondered if he was sleepwalking because of his trance-like state. But then slowly he crossed the space, blankie in tow, and planted himself just to her left and encircled his arms around her thigh while resting his head on her leg. "Hi, Ronnie-ka," he mumbled sleepily but with Logan's endearingly sweet smile.
"Uh-oh, looks like I have competition here!" Logan laughed, while Veronica was pleasantly surprised by Jake's unexpected affection.
She gazed down at Jake who was shyly sucking his thumb and looking up at her with big, dark eyes.
"Uh, we talked about that thumb-sucking, mister. You suck on that thumb, and I bite it off!" Logan teased, reaching down to scoop up Jake, who was now fully awake and screaming gleefully while trying to protect his thumbs from Logan's chomping jaw.
"C'mon, buddy, let's show Veronica how Stone men roll on Sunday mornings!"
With disaster averted, as Jake sat happily in front of cartoons on tv slurping down a bowl of Cheerios, she and Logan sat at the dining room table ready to broach more adult topics of conversation.
"They say lightning doesn't strike twice, but the Navarro family has exceptionally bad luck. Lily Navarro was reported missing this morning."
Theory 1 was blown, but Veronica desperately grasped at the strings of Theory 2. "How do they know that she is missing, and not just-just-" Veronica sputtered, hoping that her rationalizations could make it untrue, "late?"
Logan looked at her with a mix of sympathy and incredulity. "Her phone is off, no one has seen her or heard from her since half way through the prom, and her cousin went missing mere months ago. Something tells me that this isn't a false alarm. She's a responsible kid, and she wouldn't put her family through the worry of wondering why she didn't show up last night."
Veronica dropped her face into her hands. She refused to let herself utter the pathetic words 'but I just saw her' that were flashing through her mind, because she knew it was no excuse. She promised Weevil she would help find Ophelia. And not only had she not held up her end of the bargain, but she'd allowed his family to experience yet another tragedy. Never in her life had she felt like such an utter failure. She felt like giving up, selling insurance or something.
Reading her mind, Logan reached out and grasped her wrist. "Hey, you're not helping anyone, least of all Weevil, by beating yourself up about this. It was unpreventable. All you can do is move forward with the investigation. You're doing the best you can with what you have to go on. Weevil trusts you to figure this out, and for good reason. You bailed us out more times than we'd care to remember. I have faith that you are going to get to the bottom of this too."
"Yeah, well let's just hope I figure it out before anymore lives are lost."
"Wait, hold up, what? Are you saying that you think that these disappearances are in fact homicides?" Logan questioned, clearly thrown off guard, as he wasn't privy to the information from the Jeanette, the psychic.
"I honestly don't know," Veronica mused, eager to change the somber subject, "All I know is that the more time that elapses, the worse it looks for any of those girls...And speaking of things looking worse, I have something I need to show you." Veronica slid the glossy eight by ten photo out of its sheath.
Logan's eyes lit up, amused, as he let out a low whistle. "Damn, honey, what's the occasion for gifts? But, I have a feeling Principal Rainey wouldn't like this little number framed on my desk. It's a little NC-17 for the kiddies."
"I didn't take that; I found it on my porch. Geez, I'm a pretty skilled photographer, but I haven't yet mastered how to clone myself so that I can be both in the picture as well as behind the lens."
"That motherfucker!" Logan exclaimed, quickly glancing over the Jake, but thankfully the little guy was softly snoring on the floor in front of the tv with his blanket fanned out around him.
Lowering his voice to just above a whisper, but loud enough that Veronica could detect the outrage in his voice, "I'll give you three guesses as to who is behind that photo. One, the only person who has anything to gain from our relationship being exposed. Two, a sorry excuse for a man who doesn't know when to give up, and three, the same asshole who was shooting me daggers during the emergency faculty meeting that was called this morning. The good agent, Matt Adams, must have been running surveillance on the two of us rather than keeping his eyes where they belong – investigating what happened to those girls."
"The thought had crossed my mind as well, to be honest," Veronica admitted reluctantly, "but I can't rule out the possibility that it could be connected to the disappearances. I guess this changes things between us."
The words hung there like a wet towel with the cold realization that Murphy's Law was yet again ruining their chances at a normal relationship.
Logan shook his head, disgust written all over his face. He abruptly got up from the table and crossed the room to sweep Jake up in his capable, strong arms. He cradled him for a minute with a little smile on his face as he murmured, "Usually you wait until the second course to conk out for naptime." He walked Jake up the stairs, presumably to his bedroom, returning moments later with a determined look on his face.
"Veronica, we haven't done anything wrong. You are not a student, and our past together proves that I knew that and didn't do anything unethical. Did I want our relationship to be exposed in this way, possibly splashed across the front of tabloids which will undoubtedly have a renewed interest in an Echolls family scandal? No, of course not. But, does it change things between you and I? Fuck no! That would be letting that son of a bitch have more power over us than he deserves. I'm not going to let him force us apart for even another second, not after it took six years to get you back here. We'll deal with this, if and when the time comes that we're exposed, together. That is, if you're still willing."
Veronica couldn't remember taking in more bad news in such a short period of time, but the look in Logan's eyes gave her the faith and confidence she needed that things could still turn out okay. Lily and Ophelia would be found and returned safely to their family, along with the other missing girls. Her relationship with Mac would be repaired and stronger than ever. Her father would someday understand her decision to leave the FBI and support her once again. And, she and Logan would be together, the way she knew they always should have been.
"Yes, it's all I've ever wanted, Logan."
"Good, then that settles it." He scooped her up into his arms, much the same way he had with Jake, moments ago.
"Hey, what are you doing?" she laughed playfully, a sound foreign to her own ears after such a shit show of a day.
"It's naptime, Ronnie. And I can't think of anyone I would rather share my bed with," he said, kissing her lips soundly to quiet her protests.
Logan deposited Veronica onto his neatly-made bed and then crawled up next to her. She eagerly snaked her hand behind his head and brought his mouth down to hers. He kissed her with reckless abandon, their hips grinding together, before he snuck his hand up her t-shirt. She responded by running her nails greedily up and down his back.
"How long does naptime usually last?" Veronica panted, eager to rip off the clothes that were constraining them.
"On a good day, couple of hours."
"And on a bad day?"
"Thirty minutes or so."
"Well, this is about one of the worst days I can remember having in a while, so I guess, we'd better get you out of those clothes, Echolls," Veronica retorted, tugging at his shirt which tumbled off to reveal a well-defined chest and abs.
Logan dipped his hand down the elastic waist band of her track pants and then smiled up at her teasingly. "No panties, Mars? I like it."
Veronica frowned, confused for a second. Shit, I must have really been in a rush to get over here. "Hey, I said I'd be here in twenty minutes. Sacrifices must be made in order to keep to a time-frame like that. Just be happy I remembered to throw pants on."
"I'm not complaining. Panties are overrated and are absolutely, definitely optional when you're with me," he breathed into her ear, as he plunged his fingers slowly and deeply inside of her.
Veronica cried out and was pretty sure she'd come right on the spot, as Logan lightly covered her mouth with his other hand. "Veronica, we are trying to extend naptime to its fullest, not alarm the neighbors, love."
"Yes, sorry about that," Veronica said, with a smirk of her own, as she reached down his pants to return the favor.
His eyes just about rolled back in his head, but she gave him credit, he kept his composure and was completely silent, as his quickened his touch.
She felt her pants whoosh over her hips, and suddenly she was overcome with a new and even better sensation – his tongue. His assault was agonizing, and she grabbed fistfuls of his hair in her hands because it was all she could do to keep herself from screaming out his name.
He reached over her to grab a small square foil packet from the inside of his nightstand, and then tore it open.
She looked at him curiously but was out of breath and rendered completely speechless.
"We didn't use anything last night because I didn't have protection, but given the circumstances, we probably shouldn't take any chances."
She simply nodded as he put the condom on and then braced herself for part two of the marathon of lovemaking. She had once joked Logan should "go pro", and he certainly hadn't disappointed her last night; he was even better than she'd remembered.
He propped her left leg up and then entered her slowly, quickly putting his mouth on hers so she wouldn't make a sound. He rocked her gently, picking up a dizzying pace only to slow down, and then repeated the sensation over and over, again and again. And, she matched him thrust for thrust, reminding him why he had aptly nicknamed her Bobcat. He timed their climaxes perfectly, and before long they were sweating and clinging to one another.
As he discarded the condom, she rolled onto her side away from him, expecting him to spoon her and maybe catch a few minutes of rest. But instead he grasped her shoulder and pulled her around to face him.
"Again?" she deadpanned. "Doubt we'd be so lucky as to have Jake sleep through a second round. It's already been an hour."
"You okay?" he asked with a sweet concernedness about him.
"Yeah, considering everything that's happened in the last twenty-four hours, I'm holding up."
"I don't mean that." He looked slightly embarrassed, as though he wasn't sure he should proceed, but then mustered enough resolve to spew out: "You kind of got a funny look on your face when I pulled out the condom."
A hot blush spread over Veronica's face and then crept down her neck. She couldn't see it, but she could feel it, and she was sure that Logan had noticed so there was no point in denying it. They'd pledged honesty, so she attempted to put her thoughts together.
"It's not that I figured that you-" She stopped herself, trying to figure out how to put this into the least mortifying words she could find. "I just– well, you know. I-" What she was doing a piss poor job of getting out of her mouth was that seeing Logan reach into his drawer and fumble through an economy-sized box of condoms just made her wonder how many women graced his bed during naptime. The thought was unwelcome, but she was a detective; it was her job to deduce things, even if the realizations she made were uncomfortable and slightly irrational. Envy definitely did suit her.
Breaking into her thoughts, Logan explained the unspoken thoughts that plagued her mind. "I bought them this morning, babe. On the way home from the faculty meeting. I felt bad that I didn't have something last night, and I hoped it was the start to something."
"Oh?" It was all Veronica could manage, before a huge grin broke over her face.
"And there's still one hundred and seventy-one of those suckers left, so I hope you're planning on sticking around awhile," Logan joked.
"You bet I am," Veronica murmured, pulling him in for another kiss.
I have appreciated your reviews more than you could ever know! It renewed my sense of spirit, and the heartfelt feedback really made me smile. Any thoughts of where you'd like to see it go next? Your ideas are always welcomed!

Sioux Falls New Population Estimate Is 178,500
Upon another record year of construction, strong job growth, and improvements within our community's quality of life standards, Sioux Falls continues to see its population increase. The population of Sioux Falls now is estimated at 178,500, a growth of 5,200 people over the last year.
"The 5,200-person increase has a lot to do with the size of our community and the benefits of living in this region. We continue to see people move into Sioux Falls for employment opportunities, the cultural activities that they've heard so much about, lower cost of living, and to be close to friends and family. Citizens moving here created the demand in 2016 for a record number of residential units being permitted, while vacancy rates remain low," says Jeffrey Schmitt, Chief Planning and Zoning Official. "The population and housing numbers we are experiencing are also reflected in the workforce. Between December 2015 and December 2016, 6,000 new jobs were created within the Sioux Falls MSA."
On an annual basis, Planning and Building Services develops year-end population estimates; the annual July population estimates are developed by the U.S. Census Bureau. Sioux Falls has averaged a 3,000-person annual increase for more than ten years.
This 5,200-person increase over the past 12 months means the city is growing at a rate of 3.0 percent. Last year, the city grew by 3,500 persons or a 2.1 percent growth rate. Since January 1, 2000, Sioux Falls has seen a 54,300-person increase in our population. The last Census estimate [July 2015] showed a 3,100 increase or 1.9 percent increase. By 2025, the population of Sioux Falls is projected to be 202,000. Previous estimates include a 4,000-person increase in 2014, a 3,900-person increase in 2000, and 3,600-person increases in 2002, 2005, and 2006.
"Sioux Falls is growing at a very steady rate, and our City government is staying one step ahead by improving and expanding infrastructure and managing our land resources wisely," says Mike Cooper, Director of Planning and Building Services.
Population figures relate to housing units required, and housing units consume land area; therefore, the land area needed (and the infrastructure needed to serve this land area) is directly tied to the population figures within annual estimates and projections.
Sioux Falls Demographics
- 82.4 percent of Sioux Falls residents are white, 5.5 percent are Hispanic/Latino, 5.2 percent are black, 2.1 percent are American Indian or Alaskan Native, and 2 percent are Asian.
- 49.5 percent of Sioux Falls residents are female, and 50.5 percent are male.
- The median age in Sioux Falls is 34.6 years.
- The median household income in Sioux Falls is $53,802.

AN: Thanks to dazzlingrockstar for betaing this chapter.
"As I watch you sleep, my soul cries tears of joy for the magnificent gift of having you in my life. Twenty-five years have changed our bodies and our minds but, fortunately our hearts remained faithful. We are held together by love. Forever bounded in ways that the human mind cannot comprehend. Only our souls understand the level of our commitment; the extent of our devotion.
"As I pen this entry in, I'm washed by a feeling of loss. It's silly but I will miss writing these little letters to the future, these little confessions of my imperfect love and unwavering devotion.
"Happy anniversary, my love. I hope you enjoy this gift."
"Wake up, baby."
"I don't want to."
"I know but, you need to wake up now if you don't want to miss the reading."
"Did you have to schedule it so damn early?"
"Well, sorry for trying to make our twenty-fifth anniversary interesting."
"Oh, Bella, my love, don't get grumpy. That's my thing, especially in the mornings."
Chuckling softly at Alice's snarky remark, Isabella couldn't help but admire the way the sun illuminated the beautiful woman she called wife. Unlike most women, Alice chose to wear her greying hair with pride. Her skin aged gracefully, retaining the rosy-cheeked complexion that always tugged at Isabella's heart. She had put on some weight but, in Isabella's opinion, the extra pounds were added to the right places.
Yes, her wife was still a head turner. As for herself, Isabella knew that she had never been classically beautiful but, what she lacked in looks she compensated in attitude. She painted her nails black and dyed her hair violet; she rode a motorcycle and wore leather jackets. Old, she might be but, she refused to lose the aura of fierceness that had always been her trademark.
Absorbed by her wife's beauty, Isabella failed to realize that Alice was bent on seduction. As crafty as always, she feigned to squirm sleepily, manoeuvring her plump breasts free from the confining sheets. She had taken to sleeping in the nude ever since the first hot flashes of menopause appeared. It had actually improved their sexual life, since Isabella was easily enticed by the sight of Alice's exposed flesh.
Isabella rolled her eyes at her wife's not so subtle techniques. After twenty-five years, there wasn't much Alice could hide from her. Apparently, her wife had sex on her mind and Isabella wasn't about to deny her. Making love to Alice was the high point of her day, like it had always been and would always be.
The frenzy of their first years was replaced by gentleness and idle exploration. They no longer had the energy for vigorous lovemaking but, they didn't lack enthusiasm and eagerness to please. Isabella was still a bit domineering and, sometimes, a bit kinky. Alice continued to be shy and hesitant - all sweetness, even after all the sexual practices her wife had introduced to her.
When they were done, they showered together and criticized each other's choice of attire. In Alice's opinion, Isabella should learn how to dress according to her age. To Isabella's mind, Alice should stop dressing as a bitter crone. It was an old argument that always ended up in teary apologies and, heated make-out sessions.
"... Up to this day, you still remain the sugar to my spice, my dear loving wife; the eternal holder of my heart.
The eruption of applause that followed wasn't enough to distract Isabella from the brilliance of Alice's smile, obviously pleased by the way Isabella portrayed their relationship. Alice mouthed loving words to her wife, though her eyes conveyed another sort of sentiment. They shone with the lust that only comes with true love.
The reading was a smashing success. Isabella could hardly believe that, a mere second epilogue could garner that much attention. Of course, Mike had done an amazing job at promoting it. Isabella still could not believe that, the child she had come to love as her own had grown into a man. A brilliant publicist, he had the luxury of selecting his clients. Despite his success, his mother despaired over his absent love life. Isabella tried to appease his mother, by saying that he was waiting for the one but, truth be told, he was too much of a success amongst women to settle for just one.
The most noticeable absence of the night was Tyler's but, since he had gone to the hospital in order to attend the birth of his first grandchild, Isabella was inclined to overlook his faux pas. Isabella's heart ached for Tyler. She truly missed him. Life hadn't been easy on the boy.
He knocked up his high school girlfriend and had to struggle to put himself through college. Some years later, his wife was taken away by a car accident. With the family's help, he managed to raise a fine child – Helen. He never remarried.
Even Jasper and Maria had attended the event. After the unavoidable awkwardness of the first few months, the four of them managed to forge a lasting friendship. They never discussed times past, choosing to concentrate on the present.
Despite the thrill brought by the sweet taste of success, Isabella was eager to take her wife home. She had been planning this night for the past twenty five years. The reading had been carefully timed, according to the length of time it would take to transform their home into an oasis of romance.
A beautiful canopy of twinkling lights had been added to their garden, giving the impression of walking into a dream. A dinner prepared by a French chef was waiting to be served and, violinists would be playing Eduard Tubin's violin sonata – Alice's favourite.
After that, they would dance to the sound of Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty. It was the same waltz they had chosen for their wedding, six years prior. Later, Isabella would give her wife the diary, where she had poured her soul for twenty five years. It was only fitting, since she had started it right after their first night together – the day their history had started; the anniversary they were commemorating.
Isabella wasn't sure of how much time she still had left with Alice but, she was considering the idea of starting a new journal... A present meant for an anniversary that, she had no way of knowing if it would ever come to pass.
AN: Thank you to dazzlingrockstar who stepped out of her comfort zone in order to beta this for me - You rock!

Well when he retracted him to examine the problem, did he find a raging foreskin infection? I think not. In fact the doctor who retract said it WASN'T an infection at all.
I just got off the phone with Marilyn from NOCIRC. She gave me some phone numbers of other doctors, and also said that we should NOT have those tests done, that they are using scare tactics to push us into circumcision. Those tests are very invasive and not necessary for a first-time infection. I have to make some more phone calls...I will be back
I worry that these s that call themselve doctors are so busy backing each other up that that has become way more important than your DS's health. Can you go see a Dr who isn't reccomended or associated with the original from the ER.
It's hard to say if they are now over treating and over testing to distract you from the facts:
All the studies linking intactness to greater risk of UTIs show the link only in babies under 6 months of age. I believe you said your DS was 4 yo, that makes him over 6 mo, so the studies do not apply to him. (I won't go into why the stubies are crap anyway.)
Therefore the only reason I can see to circ your son is to hide any damage caused by ER doc.
ETA: I had already started typing before your latest update. What Marilyn is saying makes perfect sense to me.

I know someone asked about kidney stones, and the doctor mentioned that as a possibility. There is genetic predisposition to urinary problems. DH had a kidney stone very young ( about 25 years old he said, which is young for that) and before I had kids I suffered from chronic UTI's and also had a cystoscopy performed when I was 4 years old. My ureters are narrower than they should be.

I would be very watchful at the Cleveland Clinic. I know absolutely nothiing of this particular doctor, but the Clinic's pediatric urology staff are in general pretty openly pro-circ. I haven't looked at their website in at lest a couple of years, but I remember picking up one of the pediatric urology brochures in the department. It said they provided circumcision for boys who had been missed when they were born. That sounds dangerous to me.
|How is circumcision done?
During a circumcision, the foreskin is freed from the head of the penis (glans), and the excess foreskin is clipped off.
|What are the benefits of circumcision?
There is some evidence that circumcision has medical benefits, including:
A decreased risk of urinary tract infections
A reduced risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in men
Protection against penile cancer and a reduced risk of cervical cancer in female sex partners
Prevention of balanoposthitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin)
Prevention of phimosis (the inability to retract the foreskin) and paraphimosis (the inability to return the retracted foreskin to its original location)
Circumcision also makes it easier to keep the end of the penis clean.
Note: Some studies show that good hygiene can help prevent certain problems with the penis, including infections and swelling, even if the penis is not circumcised. In addition, practicing safe sex is an important factor in reducing the risk of STDs and other infections.
Balanitis is an inflammation of the skin covering the head of the penis. A similar condition, balanoposthitis, refers to inflammation of the head and the foreskin. Symptoms of balanitis include redness or swelling, itching, rash, pain and a foul-smelling discharge.
Balanitis most often occurs in men and boys who have not been circumcised (had their foreskin surgically removed), and who have poor hygiene. Inflammation can occur if the sensitive skin under the foreskin is not washed regularly, allowing sweat, debris, dead skin and bacteria to collect under the foreskin and cause irritation. The presence of tight foreskin may make it difficult to keep this area clean and can lead to irritation by a foul-smelling substance (smegma) that can accumulate under the foreskin.
|Phimosis and paraphimosis
Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin of the penis is so tight that it cannot be pulled back (retracted) to reveal the head of the penis. Paraphimosis occurs when the foreskin, once retracted, cannot return to its original location.
Phimosis, which is seen most often in children, may be present at birth. It also can be caused by an infection, or by scar tissue that formed as a result of injury or chronic inflammation. Another cause of phimosis is balanitis, which leads to scarring and tightness of the foreskin. Immediate medical attention is necessary if the condition makes urination difficult or impossible.
|CosmoDerm and Cosmoplast: Out of the mouths of babes? Not quite. To understand the technology behind these products you must go a little lower; specifically to the discarded foreskins of infant boys after circumcision. Using the collagen producing cells (fibroblasts) found in newborn foreskins scientists have been able to isolate and then replicate these cells to produce the collagen needed for injection. Like the bovine collagen commonly used to treat wrinkles today, these products are eventually reabsorbed by the body and require another treatment 3-6 months later. However, unlike bovine collagen, Cosmoderm and Cosmplast – used to treat fine lines and deep wrinkles respectively – the patient does not need to be test for allergies to the collagen. CosmoDerm and Cosmoplast were both approved by the FDA for use on March 12, 2003.

I lost a bunch of weight and I knew I needed a tummy tuck. I decided to add liposuction on my back and a Brazilian butt lift as well. I am extremely pleased with my results and I feel like a new woman. The entire experience was as good as a surgery can be. I followed all of the after care instructions and everything went as planned.
I really needed my tummy tuck and butt lift badly. I called around to all the local doctors in my area. I live in Dallas, Texas. I didn't find a local surgeon that could do the procedures within my budget.
I looked on the internet for my other options. I decided to travel out of the USA and go to Panama City, Panama. I decided on Panama because it is most similar to the States.
I looked at the surgeons in Panama and happily decided to use Dr. Fanny Rodriguez. My initial conversation was with the company that handles her patients from outside Panama.
All of the details of what I needed was covered with complete professionalism and I was given a very fair price.
The thing that I really liked was that after what I thought I needed was established, the Doctor and her staff had me do some initial tests in Dallas. As it turned out, my iron levels were a bit low. I was given the necessary steps to raise my iron. After a few months, my iron was higher and I was able to fly to Panama.
When I arrived I was met by the driver. His name was Franklin. Franklin spoke english perfectly. I found out that he lived in Houston, Texas for 26 years and retired to Panama. His children still live in Texas and attend college there.
That afternoon I met with Dr. Rodriguez. In one word, fantastic. The doctor was very knowledgeable and could practically read my mind.
Everything I needed was included in my package. The complete stay, an overnight at the surgical facility (the facility was clean and modern) meals, resort. Everything. All I had to do was pay for my airfare. I was even aloud to bring my husband. All of my husbands meals were included as well. There was no add on to bring him.
My stay was very comfortable and now its 1-2 months ater the procedure. The swelling is practically all gone and I look wonderful. I am very happy.
I recommend Dr. Rodriguez with all my heart.
Feel free to write me if I could offer any additional advice.
Good luck to all.

The Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 is the debut album by the supergroup Traveling Wilburys and was recorded and released in 1988 to commercial success and critical acclaim.[9] It has been certified triple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
In early April 1988, George Harrison was in Los Angeles and needed to record a B-side for a European 12-inch single. Jeff Lynne was also in Los Angeles writing and producing some tracks for Roy Orbison on his album Mystery Girl (released posthumously), as well as Tom Petty's first solo album, Full Moon Fever. While having dinner with Lynne and Orbison, Harrison related how he needed to record a new track and wanted to do it the next day. Harrison asked if Lynne would help, and Orbison offered his old friend his hand as well, seeing how fun it would be. Needing a studio on short notice, Harrison suggested they call Bob Dylan, who had a home studio. Dylan gladly let the group use his studio; and not wanting to intrude, Dylan asked kindly to join. After dinner, George stopped by Petty's house to pick up a guitar of his, and invited Petty along too. Gathering at Dylan's Malibu home the following day, they wrote and recorded the song "Handle With Care" in five hours, with all five sharing the vocals.[10]
The track was considered too good to be used as a B-side, so Harrison decided to form a band and record another nine songs for an album. The group got together again for nine days in May, recording the basic tracks and vocals at Dave Stewart's home studio in Los Angeles. Overdubs and mixing were carried out in England at Harrison's home studio, FPSHOT (short for Friar Park Studio, Henley-on-Thames).
Masquerading as the Wilbury brothers, the participants would be known as Nelson (Harrison), Otis (Lynne), Lucky (Dylan), Lefty (Orbison), and Charlie T. Jr. (Petty) Wilbury with drummer Jim Keltner sitting in as Buster Sidebury. Harrison was no stranger to the use of alternate identities, as he had adopted them with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and with his plethora of pseudonyms as a session musician, such as L'Angelo Misterioso, George O'Hara and Hari Georgeson. This concept, however, was taken a step further: their real names never appear anywhere on the album, liner notes, or even the songwriting credits.
With Harrison having the greatest claim to the band, he signed them up to Warner Bros. Records (which Petty eventually signed to himself, and which, through Reprise Records, released Lynne's solo album Armchair Theatre in 1990), his current label, and incorporated their own Wilbury Records label, in addition to producing the sessions with Lynne that spring.
According to statements by Harrison in the documentary The True History of the Traveling Wilburys (filmed in 1988 about the making of the album and re-released on the bonus DVD included in The Traveling Wilburys Collection), the whole band gave various contributions to all songs, although each song was mainly written by a single member; the joint songwriting credit came from the fact that giving individualized credits looked egotistical.[11]
Lynne commented that the songwriting process was relaxed and enjoyable:
|We would arrive about twelve or one o'clock and have some coffee. Somebody would say, 'What about this?' and start on a riff. Then we'd all join in, and it'd turn into something. We'd finish around midnight and just sit for a bit while Roy would tell us fabulous stories about Sun Records or hanging out with Elvis. Then we'd come back the next day to work on another one. That's why the songs are so good and fresh—because they haven't been second-guessed and dissected and replaced. It's so tempting to add stuff to a song when you've got unlimited time.[12]
However, the publishing credits on the Collection book are more revealing about the actual songwriter, as each of the credited publishers belongs to a single member:
- Harrison's Umlaut Corporation (formerly Ganga Publishing) is credited for "Handle with Care", "Heading for the Light", "End of the Line" and the bonus track "Maxine", identifying him as the main writer of those songs. In an interview included among the bonus features on the 2003 DVD release of the 2002 tribute Concert for George, Petty recalls that the lyrics to "Handle With Care" were the result of a game held by Harrison in his home studio, with all of the band members (including himself) shouting out lines and Harrison keeping the ones that stuck. According to Petty, the line "Oh, the sweet smell of success" is his.
- Dylan, credited via his Special Rider Music publisher, wrote "Dirty World" (according to Harrison and Lynne's recollections on the documentary, Dylan and all the other band members gave their input to the song by pitching in funny lines to complete the lyric line "He loves your ..."[11]), "Congratulations", the long narrative of "Tweeter and the Monkey Man" (which was apparently intended as a parody of Bruce Springsteen's early, verbose songs) and the other bonus track "Like a Ship".
- Petty, published by Gone Gator Music, wrote "Last Night" (again, with substantial lyrical contributions from the entire band[11]) and "Margarita".
- Lynne's publisher, Shard End Music (named after his birthplace), identifies him as the main writer of "Rattled" and "Not Alone Any More".[13]
The separation was not repeated for the publishing credits of Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3, which show all songs as being published by all four publishers.[13]
Release and aftermath[edit]
Released October 18, 1988, Volume One became the surprise hit of the year, selling two million copies within six months in the US, reaching No. 3 in the US and No. 16 in the UK. With over 50 weeks on the charts, The Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 was later certified triple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. While Harrison and Petty had had recent successes, Dylan, Orbison (who died of a sudden heart attack on December 6, 1988) and Lynne had not seen an album climb that high in several years. At the time, no Dylan album had ever achieved two million in sales. As one critic put it, it was "one of the great commercial coups of the decade". The single "Handle with Care" was a significant hit in the UK charts, peaking at No. 21, and an even bigger hit in Australia (No. 3) and New Zealand (No. 4), though it stalled at No. 45 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
Most critics said the group's modest ambitions were fresh and relaxing. During 1989 and 1990 the album won many accolades, including a Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group. The album was also nominated for Album of the Year.
After Harrison's distribution deal with Warner Bros. expired in 1995, ownership of the Dark Horse Records catalog as well as the two Traveling Wilburys albums reverted to Harrison and the albums went out of print.[14] On June 12, 2007, Volume One and Vol. 3 were reissued by Rhino Records as The Traveling Wilburys Collection, packaged together with bonus tracks and a DVD. The box set debuted at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 9 on the US Billboard 200.

Could New Toys Be
Costing You Commentors?
When commentluv 2.9 launched, it brought with it some new features that have lead to a lot of discussions among bloggers and marketers utilizing CL for their blogs.
There's a lot of misunderstanding about those settings… and about the hidden costs associated with enabling those restrictions.
I stayed out of this early on because I needed time to extensively test the new options and see what would result from them.
I want to share with you, a video, that I originally made for the blog social syndication community that I co-run…
Here's what I found…
Quick Overview:
As you can see, requiring registration for dofollow and 10 link options caused me a lot of annoyed visitors and gained me very little. The registrations are not marketing qualified opt-ins and require incredible finesse to be able to do anything with. I was stabbing myself in the foot by requiring this registration but had tested it out since it "seemed" like such a great idea. However, dofollow does impact SEO of the "giving" blog and one does need to think carefully about their stance on that and how much linkjuice they are willing to share with their readers. Nofollow links are not entirely useless but dofollow are worth so much more that many bloggers treat dofollow blogs preferentially. So, it is my suggestion that you enable 10 link options and dofollow for all, at least for now in 2.9 (see note below).
Additional Notes:
When the upcoming commentluv 3.0 premium arrives it will bring an extension of the dofollow/link requirements into much easier to swallow things visitors already do naturally such as tweeting the post, liking a post or G+ing a post.
I can honestly see these newer softer requirements working MUCH better while at the same time helping me as a blogger reduce the number of spammers that slip in to swipe dofollow links and hurt me. Commentluv will remain free however and CL 3.0 Premium is still a ways out (last I checked).
I hope this clarifies for you the situation that many bloggers have unknowingly set these options assuming they were a good thing (and because they are default) and do not realize they are irritating their fans. We can not grumble and scuff our feet and complain when we should be helping to educate other bloggers on what emotions their blogs bring up in us so they can improve.
As always this remains a personal option and we have to do what we feel is best, but I hope my experiences with testing these helps you make informed decisions.
Here's To Your Success!

The Back Nine - Movie Review
By Kickntrue on 7/31/09
[Update- Now With Trailer]
The Back Nine is an independent film following the true story of a 40 year old man who decides he wants to be a pro golfer. Jon Fitzgerald has a great job, a lovely family, and has a nice house. What he doesn't have is his lifelong dream to do something so incredibly ambitious that most would (and do) call him crazy.
The documentary starts with Jon as a 15 handicap with a passion for golf and not enough time. Over the next year, Jon becomes a serious student of the game and focuses on dropping his handicap while playing on amateur tours and working with some of the best golf fitness instructors and help available.
I'm not going to spoil what happens next, but I can tell you I enjoyed watching the movie and was entertained throughout. The film has been featured at multiple independent film festivals and is now available for purchase on DVD. Right Angle Studious has been kind enough to allow oobgolf to give an 18% discount (one for each hole- get it?!) valid through Labor Day of this year.
Here's the real skinny. It's not a summer blockbuster, it's a documentary. It's 85 minutes or so of an interesting and fun endeavor, one that Jon is still currently pursuing (and is filming a follow-up). If you like golf you'll enjoy the movie. If you're on a first date and you haven't covered the topic of your golf addiction, you may want to hold off (or just go for it, because you'll know afterwards where the relationship is really going). You should know oobgolf isn't receiving any payment for the sales of the movie and everything I'm saying is my personal opinion. The film really is entertaining!
The movie is unrated and while it's 99.8% PG, there is one short scene with a couple "f-bombs". The parent in me has spoken - now go forth and buy the movie. The first 5000 copies sold will be signed by the filmmakers including its star, Jon Fitzgerald.
Use coupon (code) "oob09" to receive discount.

Ben Crane says:
I was hoping the other .2% non-PG rating was for saucy beverage cart girl footage.
Kickntrue says:
@ben crane- maybe in the follow up! I'm sure the team will be reading these comments - so feel free to leave suggestions!
TWUES17 says:
Make sure it's not the chick from the earlier cart girl article or you'll alienate all your non vision impaired viewers. Man, I hope I never meet that girl in a dark alley. Actually, that alley effing better be dark. Gooooo!
I'm on a roll today.
drew1473 says:

klangdon says:

Lerxst says:

munk24 says:
Read Paper Tiger by Tom Coyne, very similar story, hired the best teacher and took off form his job and life in his attempt to make it through Q School, one of my favorite books on golf, He is the author of several golf books including A Course Called Ireland.
Barroomhero says:
tried to order it but wont let me with my card or paypal anyone else have this problem
jonfitz says:
If anyone has problems ordering, contact me directly and I will make sure you get the DVD. I can be reached at email@example.com
corosario says:
I didn't have any problems ordering, but was wondering how to check the order status or shipping status. I ordered July 31.
Niramas says:
This movie blew. All this build up to play in Golf Channel AM tournaments. Big Deal. And most of the time is spent going over his relationship with his dad and stepdad. Yawn. This movie belongs on the Oxygen Channel at 3AM.

· We should, of course, beware of leaping to conclusions, but we hear from a Very Reliable Source Indeed that No 10 is currently only hiring civil servants on six-month contracts. Now there is a thought.
· But Mr Tony Blair cannot, we are sure, be entertaining any thoughts of stepping aside so soon after that exciting reshuffle and the consequent emergence - if that is the word - of our thrillingly enigmatic new defence secretary, Des Browne. Last week's request for interesting facts about possibly the most preternaturally obscure figure in recent political history drew a gratifyingly full postbag. Despite his professed love of sports (at least one reader remembers him once playing for Nottingham Forest), it seems, for example, that the Quiet Man of Kilmarnock never wears shorts. What can this mean?
· Better, all the same, be well prepared for the day Mr T finally does go. With this in mind, reader Martin Graham suggests those nice people on the TV news might even now be preparing a stirring montage of those defining Blair moments (Blair on May 2 1997, Blair at Di's funeral, Blair with Bush post 9/11, Blair being asked if David Kelly's death was his doing, Blair with the boys in Basra, Blair explaining how party funding really works), all overlaid with an aching, acoustic-guitar-and-quavering-solo-voice version of that archetypal Blair anthem, Things Can Only Get Better. We share this enchanting vision with you, of course, in the hope that you come up with something even better.
· Also, in quite the most enthrallingly interactive Diary for some time, would anyone out there care to deconstruct for us the trailer for The Da Vinci Code, which warns, slightly confusingly, that the film contains "flagellation and moderate violence"?
· We may not - yet - know much about Des Browne. Thankfully, however, we do know lots of really fascinating stuff about 17-year-old Theo Walcott, who is the nation's sole hope for glory in Germany next month. We know, for example, that the brother of his girlfriend, of all people, was "the victim of a horrific gang attack by hooded teenage thugs who left him for dead" in April 2004. We know, too, that Theo's family and friends "will have nowhere to join together to watch the England whiz kid at the World Cup because the only pub in his home village burned down three years ago". Moreover, "showbiz insiders say Theo's pretty blonde girlfriend Melanie may earn more than £1m as part of the exclusive footballers' wives set". All we don't yet know about Theo, in fact, is whether he can actually kick a ball.
· And so, lugubriously, to Southern Cross hospital, in Invercargill, where, we learn from the ever reliable New Zealand Herald, a man having haemorrhoids removed has suffered minor burns in a brief but dramatic operating-theatre fire blamed on the unexpected combustion of his own gas. The "extremely rare" incident is "thought to have been caused by flatus containing methane unexpectedly igniting", a helpful spokesperson told the paper. "There was a sort of flashfire and that was about it, really. But it was fairly alarming at the time." We can but concur.

A pair of ACC juggernauts will collide Saturday, each ranked within the top-10 of the BCS standings, but don't mistake that for an equal matchup on the college football moneyline. When No. 7 Miami takes the field against No. 3 Florida State, they'll do so as 22-point underdogs.
Bet on NCAA football at Bovada and get a free 50% bonus.
With much to prove, thanks to one of the lightest workloads of any contender or even fringe contender in the NCAA this season, the Hurricanes will look to play FSU tight on the road. A solid performance, even in a loss, coupled with a manageable November, could put this team in a good position come bowl season.
FSU, however, has only one bowl game in mind.
Already with 9/4 odds of winning the BCS National Championship, an impressive showing against a No. 7 club could vault them even closer to equality with the perennial powerhouses in Alabama and Oregon who sit ahead of them in the standings.
Think you know how the critical Week 10 conference pairing will unfold? Not only does it have the makings of an ACC classic, but one of the pivotal games of this college football season.

The following are key minerals present in breast milk:

Iron, which is not diet dependent, appears in very small amounts, about 0.5 to 1 mg/liter. The absorption of this mineral is efficient at about 50%. Most importantly, iron levels in breastfed babies are sufficient for 6 months.

Zinc is the most sufficient trace mineral. It is crucial for the structure and activation of enzymes. There is excellent bioavailability in breastfed babies.

Fluorine is present in mature milk. No additional fluoride is necessary.

Selenium is a significant nutrient component of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which metabolizes lipid peroxidase. It is also important for the formation of teeth.

Other important minerals include:

Ash: The total content in milk is particular to the species and corresponds with growth rates and body structure. This also affects the renal solute load.

Most important cations: Sodium (the content in breast milk is lower than cow's milk--a sodium-limited diet is not going to influence milk levels), Potassium, Calcium (which is available in tiny amounts, but it is very well absorbed), Magnesium

Most important anions: Phosphate, Chloride, Citrate

It is important to note that there are no reported cases of rickets in breastfed babies of well-fed mothers.

Ok, this is embarrassing, but I'm having trouble with a tiramisu recipe. I've done it fine for 2 months at my new job, but the last 2 times I made it, it broke. The former pastry chef said she had this problem in the heat of the summer (no AC in the kitchen, door open).
So, as per the restaurant's recipe, I whip the yolks, sugar, and marsala over a double boiler bringing it to double in volume, ribbon stage. As per recipe, I add the mascarpone cheese and bring back to double boiler to melt and make smooth. Then I add the whipped heavy cream (this is where it starts to break) then I fold in the meringue (really starts to break). I've done this several times w/o breaking, but now it's a mess. I'm guessing the cheese mixture is too hot for the cream. I brought it back by warming it up and whipping, but it was way to liquid, lost all it's air.
The other pastry chef says to put the cheese mixture in the cooler for a little while before folding in the cream. This sounds reasonable to me. What do you guys think? It's been a long time since I broke anything.

The Influence of Environmental Variables on the Distribution and Abundance of Three Elasmobranchs in Tomales Bay, California

We tested the hypothesis that temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen affect elasmobranch distribution and abundance in Tomales Bay, California, with monthly longline samples over a 20 month period. We used a Poisson regression under generalized least squares and found that temperature and salinity were the most important factors determining the distribution and abundance of the three most common elasmobranch species, bat ray, Myliobatis californica, leopard shark, Triakis semifasciata, and brown smoothhound shark, Mustelis henlei. Females of all three species were more abundant than males throughout the Bay, and were most abundant in the warmer, more saline inner bay. All three species apparently left Tomales Bay in late fall as water temperatures in the bay decreased to <10–12° C, and returned in early spring after temperatures increased to > 10° C. Three of 257 bat rays tagged in Tomales Bay were recaptured, all within 1 km of their tagging location despite having been free for up to 583 d.

We've been having some wild weather this weekend. Today we read a few books about weather, did an intranet search on tornadoes, discussed our research, and practiced what to do if we were ever threatened by one.
I bought a tornado tube at a local science museum a while back, but we have never taken the time to experiment with it. We followed instructions from Steve Spangler Science to make a tornado in a bottle. This site also gives some explanation to what a vortex is and some ways to manipulate the experiment. All in all it was entertaining and a fairly fun way to learn about tornadoes.

Isobel Jones-Reilly had taken ecstasy during an unsupervised party held by Brian Dodgeon's
14-year-old daughter.
Today Dodgeon, a 61-year-old research fellow at the University of London's Institute of Education, appeared at West London magistrates' court and admitted four counts of possession, including quantities of party drugs ecstasy and LSD and a gram of horse tranquilliser ketamine.
Dodgeon, walking with crutches, also admitted possession of 3.152 grams of the psychedelic drug known as Foxy Methoxy in a cupboard at his north Kensington home. A charge of possessing 14 diazepam tablets was dropped.
After Isobel's death Dodgeon attempted suicide by throwing himself from a bridge. He broke both legs and elbows and fractured his skull in what his lawyer called "the most dramatic expression of remorse". He needed brain surgery and spent months in hospital.
Outlining the prosecution case today, Nisha Dutt said the April 22 party ended in the death of Isobel. She was known to drink and smoke cannabis and her school had referred her to drug education group Visions.
Dodgeon's daughter, Beatrice Hadjipateras, and two 14-year-old boys were treated in hospital. The teenagers had found the drugs in Dodgeon's bedroom, which they had been "forbidden" to enter.
Isobel had taken two tablets and at about 4am she collapsed on a bed "frothing at the mouth, went motionless and stopped breathing".
Her friends were unable to find a pulse and attempted to perform CPR but she was pronounced dead after cardiac arrest at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington at 6.30am.
Isobel lived in South Acton with her father, Patrick. On the day of her death, her parents were at a party in Hastings.
The youngsters spent the evening drinking alcohol and smoking cannabis before going to Dodgeon's room and discovering drugs on top of a cupboard.
Dodgeon has admitted being a "recreational" drug user, taking ecstasy at parties and LSD. The drugs have been valued at £735 to £2,435.
At the time of her death, Isobel's parents Lynne Jones and Patrick Reilly stated that her "family and friends are devastated and heartbroken by her untimely death. We hope that if anything positive comes from this dreadful event, it is that others will make the right decisions to be safe and well in the future."
The hearing continues.

A retired Marine captain accused of having sex with young girls while working as a teacher in Cambodia was being held on a sex charge in the U.S., federal authorities said Friday. Michael Joseph Pepe, 53, arrived Wednesday at Los Angeles International Airport accompanied by federal agents after being expelled from Cambodia, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a statement.He's being held without bond which makes absolute sense with the nature of these charges and the fact that he doesn't have a home to be released to. He's accused of sexually abusing 4 girls aged 9 to 12.
"This is an appalling case, one of the worst I've ever encountered," said Robert Schoch, special agent in charge of the ICE office of investigations in Los Angeles. "You can't go outside our borders as a U.S. citizen and believe that you can treat children this way."I'm glad this woman was also arrested since she played such a central role in this crime.
According to an ICE affidavit filed in support of Pepe's arrest, a woman identified as a Cambodian prostitute was arrested for recruiting families that were willing to sell the girls to Pepe.

Back to the training ground for Tottenham Hotspur and there are no prizes for guessing what Juande Ramos has in store for his players. Having conceded three goals against Reading from set pieces on Saturday, Tottenham once again demonstrated their inability to deal with dead-ball situations as Olof Mellberg, heading in from an Ashley Young free-kick, and Martin Laursen, nodding home Gareth Barry's corner, punished the visitors' benign defending.
It was an outcome which Aston Villa merited but Tottenham, having roused from their first-half torpor, might easily have gleaned a point. Jermain Defoe swept an acrobatic volley beyond Scott Carson in the 79th minute after Michael Dawson's cross caused consternation in the Villa defence. Ramos must have thought his bold substitutions had brought reward but instead his side were undone in familiar fashion.
The failings were difficult to comprehend. Laursen, who scored twice at White Hart Lane three months ago and is renowned for his threat from corners and free-kicks, was marked by one of the smallest players in the Spurs team, the substitute Jamie O'Hara when he struck with five minutes remaining. Earlier on Kevin-Prince Boateng, a midfielder, was closest to Mellberg when the Swede converted with similar ease to put Villa ahead in the 41st minute.
"This is a situation that has been repeated in the past few weeks, when we have conceded goals from set pieces," lamented Ramos, who suffered only his third defeat since taking over at Spurs. "It's hard to win matches by conceding so many goals on set pieces. We are lacking in some defensive departments and it's something we need to look at. We need to find solutions and if we can't solve this problem we will need to look outside."
The last remark suggests Ramos's patience is wearing thin. Indeed Damien Comolli, Tottenham's sporting director, might be advised to spend more time worrying about bringing in a couple of defenders rather than pondering Dimitar Berbatov's future after the unsettling comments from the Bulgarian's agent. "His agent is looking to do his business but we are happy because we have the player on a contract and we plan to keep him," said Ramos.
The transfer window also promises to be crucial for Martin O'Neill; the Villa manager is acutely aware of the need to embellish the lightest squad in the Premier League. Gabriel Agbonlahor, whose electric pace unsettled Dawson time and again before half-time, Barry, Wilfred Bouma, Young and the two goalscorers, Mellberg and Laursen, have featured in every top-flight match this season. Fans will never complain of rotation at Villa Park.
Indeed Villa supporters have little reason to voice their disapproval about anything at the moment as O'Neill's side continue to push for European football. This win, following a 2-1 success at Wigan on Saturday, lifts Villa into the top six.
Nothing less than a home victory had appeared likely in a first half which Villa dominated but there was greater urgency about Tottenham after the interval, with three early substitutions injecting fresh impetus.
It was Villa, though, who should have scored again as Luke Moore, who had squandered a wonderful opportunity in the fifth minute when he steered a shot from eight yards past the post, sliced Stilian Petrov's cross wide. O'Neill clutched his head in his hands but showed his relief three minutes later when Steve Tanner, the referee, turned down appeals for a penalty after Curtis Davies appeared to have clipped Robbie Keane.
The reprieve was only temporary. Barry's poor header clear, after Dawson's dink into the area, dropped at the feet of Defoe, who showed splendid technique to seize his third goal in as many games. It should have secured a point for Spurs, something that Ramos argued his side deserved after their improved second half, but Laursen headed emphatically beyond Paul Robinson.
It was not the first time Laursen had benefited from Spurs' generosity this term. "[Laursen] is definitely a handful in the penalty area," said O'Neill, who hopes the defender will sign a new contract. "I thought he was colossal tonight, as he has been all season, against one of the best centre-forwards in Europe [Berbatov]. He scored the goal and I thought he was like a man possessed."
Man of the match Gabriel Agbonlahor (Aston Villa)
Berba's body language
6min Drops deep for first touch of the ball and advances smartly but shot cannons off Defoe
8min Chases back to carry out defensive duties. Notorious body language looking good
12min Brings down punt from Robinson with grace, prodding forward with outside of boot
22min Holds off three challenges before releasing. Frustrated when possession is lost
42min Receives on halfway line with back to goal but Laursen tackles him too easily
44min Free-kick rebounds to him on right of area but his first-time shot is straight at Carson
45min Left disconsolate, with hands on hips, after his chipped pass forward goes astray
61min Looks for handball from referee, missing O'Hara's advance behind him
69min Lazy defending after corner allows Moore in for effort on goal
70min Looks ever more deflated as Spurs use him as target man
72min Flickers to life, holding up ball and laying off invitingly for Keane
79min Quick reflexes provide assist for Defoe's acrobatic equaliser
