All other Characters played by: Miki Yamuri
Vickie Leigh - 19yo research assistant
Scene: In the clean lab of Nano/Gen research facility
The mad dash for personal robots had been totally dominated by Japan for many years. After these many years, the 2 brightest research assistants Nano/Gen had ever gotten from the college programs, had made a remarkable break through in Artificial intelligence and Nano/molecular computing.
Vickie Leigh was a very pretty blond. She had shoulder length hair and a very attractive figure. Even in the lab coat, as she bent over to add a few touches to the personality program, her cuteness radiated through out the lab.
Michael was 19 years old with black hair and green eyes. He was looking around the lab as it was his first day here. He was excited about working at Nano/Gen. but didn't know what he was to expect from this job. The head researcher walked in beaming with pride. He looks around the room in a very haughty way.
He says out loud, "I have just received word that because my new AI program and personal servant program has been such a success in the testing phase, that I now am being promoted to head Administrator."
Vickie stands up and says softly to the handsome young man standing next to her, "Man ... that figures. We do all the work ... he gets all the praise and promotions." She turns and sees the new face. She smiles and extends her hand, "My name's Vickie ... what's yours? You must be new."
Michael says, "Michael Orson, and yes, I'm new. The head was talking about the testing phase, testing phase for what Vickie, and who is the test subject?"
He wonders what is in the test phase and who the test subject is.
Vickie smiles and has a sparkle in her eye. She says softly as she takes him by the hand, "Come with me ... let me show you what I built."
She leads the confused young man by the hand through the maze of the massive complex. They finally come to a door marked Authorized Personnel Only Level 1 clearance required. Vickie waves a green and red access card under Micheal's nose then swipes it through the reader. The red lights over the maglock on the door turn green amid a loud buzzing. The door slides back with a whoosh.
Vickie leads him into the room and turns on the light. In the very center of the room, contained in a glass cylinder ... stood what looked like a very beautiful young woman in a very short white and black uniform.
Vickie smiles as she waves her hand, "I would like to introduce you to Nanabot ... the most advanced personal robot in the world."
Michael says to Vickie, "I'm not the test subject … am I?" He then walks up to the Nanabot and says, "Oh, hello. My name is Michael."
He's starting to think he is the test subject, but what is this robot for. He waits for a response. Michael sees Vickie walk to a control panel and begin to type on the keyboard. The lights within the cylinder come on and it rises up amid a cool, softly rolling fog. As soon as the cylinder had stopped its upward motion, Nanabot's soft blue eyes open. Michael sees a vivid sparkle deep within them as she came to life.
Nanabot smiles and says softly in a cute musical voice, "Hello sweet heart, Nana here to baby you and fulfill all your needs."
Michael hears Vickie laugh as it takes him off his feet and cradles him in her arms.
Vickie says softly, "That's not your baby Nanabot, that's one of the techs."
Michael could have sworn Nanabot blushed.
She says in the same musical voice tented with apology, "Oh ... he's so cute ... I couldn't tell."
Then she sets him gently on his feet. Vickie giggles. Michael starts squirming trying to get out of the Nanabot's grip, Nanabot said she thought he was cute, wait a second, the Nanabot didn't think he was a baby girl or something did she? He starts backing away slowly once she set him back on his feet.
Vickie says, "This is my crowning achievement Michael. She's completely autonomous. She makes all her own decisions and .... all through testing ... has out performed all the human Personal Care people in all areas. Don't be afraid ... touch her .. talk to her ... she's as real as ... you are."
Vickie smiles as she turns to Nanabot and says, "Tell him what you are made of Nana."
The Nanabot smiles and says in that wonderfully musical voice, "I am a Nano/genetic construct. I have been fabricated by Vickie Leigh and my Nano neural net computer and the AI programming was manufactured by her as well."
Nana glides from the platform in wonderfully graceful movements, and walks to stand beside Vickie.
Vickie looks at Mike and says excitedly, "What do you think?"
Michael said, "That's nice Vickie." He then says, "You said, I was cute, you don't think I'm a baby girl do you, Nanabot?" as he walks cautiously towards the Nanabot again.
Nanabot smiles a broad smile as she reaches over before Michael can protest and pats his bottom softly.
She giggles and coos in her musical voice, "Why of course ... it's exactly what you want to be. Nana is here to fulfill all your needs sweet heart. I will take the best of care of my baby."
Michael shouts worriedly, "Let me go, Nanabot."
He starts to squirm and feels uncomfortable like he was going to be picked up again and treated like an infant.
Michael says, "Vickie, told you I'm one one of the techs, not a baby. Vickie tell her again please."
Nana giggles softly and acts cute as she says softly, "I know ... but your just so ... adorable."
Nana's eyes sparkle brightly as she looks at Michael.
Vickie gasps softly as she asks, "Nana ... you don't have a crush on Michael do you?"
Michael again could swear he sees Nana bush softly pink as she nods her head in the affirmative.
Vickie's eyes get big as she looks at the readouts on the console.
She says, "I didn't program you for that emotional response Nana."
Nana giggles like a little girl and says, "I ... learned it as time went by. I am programmed to care for my charges ... it not a far leap to ... love either."
Vickie grins a large grin as she gets an idea.
Vickie says, "Michael, come over here ... I want to show you something."
Michael takes a glance at Nana as she bats her eyes at him adoringly. He thought that if he didn't know this was a robot, he wouldn't mind so much dating her ... she was, after all, extremely pretty. He follows Vickie, wondering what she wanted to show him, desperately wanting to get away from the Nanabot before she decided to turn him into her infant charge, or her baby girl for that matter.
Once the 2 of them were behind the console, Vickie pointed to several of the emotional VR readouts.
She says in a conspiratorial tone, "That jerk Administrator needs to be put in his place. See these readings?" Michael nods, "Well, what happens if I do this and replace those numbers with these?"
Michael watches as Vickie plays the console's keyboard like a master pianist. Nanabot seems to stiffen as her expression becomes blank. Michael watches in astonished fascination as this transpires.
Suddenly, Nana become normal again and calls out in a soft coo, "Ohh Anthony .. where is my cute adorable little Anthony?"
The voice of the administrator answers, "I'm in the other office, I'll be there in a second."
Nanabot lets out an adorable little squeak as the Administrator comes through the door. Before he can say anything, Nanabot has swooped down on him and has him in her arms. The Admin screams ... it's too late. Nanabot quickly leaves the lab with the Admin comfortably, but firmly in her loving arms.
Vickie says softly, "In about .. 5 minutes ... we can catch him all dressed up." She giggles.
Michael said, "That's nice, Vickie, looks like Nanabot's decided to make Anthony her baby girl instead of me. I'm sure he'll look adorable Vickie."
He waits with Vickie for the action to begin.
After a few minutes, Vickie says excitedly, "Come with me ... lets see what Nana did."
She takes Michael by the hand and rushes out of the lab and down the long maze like hallway. They enter a room at the far end. They can see the Admin in a crib with a hugely thick diaper and a cute pair of rumba panties on. It's obvious his mind is gone ... Nana had taken care of it totally.
She turns suddenly as Vickie and Michael enter. Nana shrieks loudly as she rushes upon Michael. She grabs him and hugs him in her powerful arms.
She says in a cute musical coo, "Now, Nana has her true little baby girl."
Vickie says sharply, "Protocol over ride Delta one ... Admin access ... Drop him and erase current operand."
Nana totally ignores the Administrative command. She proceeds to remove Micheal's top and lab coat. Michael squirms trying to get out of the Nanabot's arms, he suspects the Nanabot didn't want the Admin, it wanted him.
Michael screeches, "Let me go, Nanabot, I'm not a baby girl, Vickie told you I'm one of the techs."
Nanabot giggles softly as she coos, "Just relax sweet heart, Nana will take very good care of my little girl."
Michael stiffens as he feels something very sharp poke him in his neck. He feels a cold run quickly though his body. Many strong sensations rush all through him as his mind clouds. Nana kisses him softly as he feels her unbuckle his pants and remove them and his underpants, leaving him totally nude.
Michael is embarrassed as Nana had him totally nude, he didn't understand why this robot was doing this or why it thought he was a baby. Vickie had told Nanabot he wasn't a baby so why was the Nanabot doing this.
Michael gasps as he feels Nana doing something between his legs.
Nana coos softly, "Relax sweet heart. Nana promises it will only be a slight pinch."
Micheal's eyes get huge as he feel the sharp and sudden pinch. The pain rapidly goes away as he feels something warm and wet between his legs. Nana quickly places his bottom in a diaper and powders him well, before pulling it between his legs and fastening the tapes. Before he knew what was happening, Nana had threaded his feet through the leg openings of a really cute pink sun romper with ruffles all around the bib, legs, and across the hinny. He began to feel like he was very disoriented and tingly all over as Nana ties the bib behind his neck in a cute bow. Michael couldn't believe what was happening, and didn't understand why it seemed Vickie made no effort to help him. He suddenly couldn't speak or think anymore, he starts squirming trying to get away from the Nanabot like any baby.
Vickie pounded away on the Admin Console. She entered every over ride code she could think of, including AI self destruct ... to no avail. Vickie looks up and sees Nanabot cradling Michael in the crook of her arm as she unfastened her top, then removed a perfect breast. She gave its nipple a squeeze and caused a white drop to from on it.
Nanabot coos softly to baby, "Here we are sweet heart, after lunch, you will feel so much more like a cute little girl for Nana."
She puts her nipple in Micheal's mouth. He can't help himself as the warm and wonderfully tasting liquid flowed smoothly into his mouth. His tummy gets very warm, and the many intensely tingling sensation running through his body intensified.
Nana coos, "My body specially formulated that to turn you into the cutest little girl ever."
She gently rocks Michael as Vickie pushes the emergency klaxon button. Michael hears the loud siren through the increasing haze in his rapidly regressing mind. Michael tries to get out of Nanabot's arms one last time. He realizes he has shrunk and is not totally in control of his body movements. Why did she turn him into a baby like the Admin? He tries to get away from the Nanabot with what little strength he has left. Maybe Vickie has given up on helping him … He really can't tell at this moment as he feels so baby suddenly
Many men show up all in body armor and carrying large weapons.
Vickie shouts frantically, "I don't know what came over her ... she suddenly took it upon herself to ... take Michael."
One of the men in armor that had 2 stars on his shoulders asks, "What happened to the Administrator? He's a shrunken simpering moron in a diaper in the other lab."
Vickie gasps as an expression of surprise comes across her pretty features for just a second before she can clamp a heavy control.
She replies, "I guess she went off on him as well."
The General says with exasperation, "All the Admin entries for the last several hours have been over written. We have no way to discover what the error is ... nor is it safe to approach Nanabot with a ... live subject in her care."
Michael tries to get out of the crook of Nana's arms, he closes his mouth tight, so she can't breastfeed him again while trying to take the diaper Nana placed on him off.
The Emergency personnel look on helplessly as Michael is turned into a simpering, mindless baby girl. They are totally powerless to stop her at this point. Any attempt to approach the Nanabot had provoked her into using her plasma weapons in defense. Many of the attack personnel lay dead and splattered all across the lab. Michael squirms trying to get away from the Nanabot, and trying to remove his diaper. He looks around the room, but can't understand why all the attack personnel are dead and splattered across the lab.
Vickie attacks the command console. She translates the AI control vector into Lisp and attempts to retrace where the error first appears. To her total astonishment, she discovered that Nanabot had rewritten her own override responses to Admin Control so she could take Michael as her own ... and make him into Michelle. Vickie attempts to regain Admin Over ride by rewriting the level 1 security protocol that Nanabot had implemented. To Vickie's total astonishment, Nanabot severed all communications with the Admin Console and became totally autonomous at that point
Michael watched as Vickie tried to help, but he noticed she was still frustrated, as his mind was gone, he didn't know why. He continues trying to squirm his way out of Nanabot's arms, still trying to take the diaper off that Nanabot put on him. It seemed so … stupid suddenly. Michael felt loved and safe in Nanabot's arms and the diaper was so comfy.
While Vickie attempted to recontact Nanabot through the Admin Console, The General had other plans. He had brought in his special weapons group and deployed their new Laser cannon. He watched with a large smile on his face as the crew shot the large lag bolts into the floor that would stabilize the tripod mount on which the laser would sit.
Michael was suddenly very frightened that laser could possibly hit him, hurting him, with what little bit of adult that came clear at that second. He started crying, he didn't know or understand what the Nanabot was going to do to him next.
Nanabot coos softly as she pats Micheal's hinny reassuringly. She says softly, "Now, now Miss Michelle, Nana will take care of you and protect you from all those bad men."
Nanabot points one of her slim fingers in the direction of the assembled men. Before they can jump clear, many bright balls of blue liquid fire leap from it. Each impact causes an explosion that sprays debris and mangled bodies in all directions. Vickie ducks behind the console in fear as she wonders what it is she had built.
Michael continues squirming trying to get out of Nanabot's arms, he tries once more to take the diaper Nanabot placed on him off, hopefully Nanabot didn't see him trying to take the diaper off and place locking mittens on his hands.
The General crawls on his belly like a reptile behind the Admin Console. He says to Vickie, "How in the Sam Hill are we supposed to get close to that ... thing?"
Vickie shakes her head slowly as she replies, "I'm not sure General. It appears Nanabot has taken things into her own hands."
The General said, "Vickie, if the Admin controls have been shut down and Nanabot has become autonomous, seeing as you created her, you must have created a master control switch that can override Nanabot and shut her down in the process."
Vickie shouts in exasperation, "Just what do you think I've been trying to enable?? My hair dryer?? Perhaps my automatic fingernail polisher? Nanabot has some how disengaged herself from all Admin and emergency protocols ... she's ... on her own the same as we are ... and fully capable of making her own decisions and defending herself." Vickie looks at the General with anger.
The General says, "Calm down Vickie, The Nanabot probably made the override password something simple, something easy for her to remember, you said, Nanabot changed her programming to turn Michael into Michelle, try entering my true baby girl Michelle for an override password."
Vickie slowly creeps her head above the console an looks around. Seeing Nanabot was more concerned with keeping the Soldiers from completing the mounting of the laser than her ... she quickly began typing. When the system asked for the Admin Pass Word, Vickie typed, ' my true baby girl Michelle" ... as with the many others, it too was rejected. A new GUI appeared on the screen, it said, "All Admin Protocols deleted ... system on emergency Automation ... all external access to AI denied.
Vickie gasps in a soft whisper, "Oh, no." She ducks behind the console and sits. She is white as a sheet as she shakes her head and mumbles, "It can't do that ... it doesn't have the authority."
There is a loud scream. The General and Vickie look above the console in time to see a soldier being injected with something by Nanabot. He quickly stumbles and falls. He begins to crawl as his pleas for help become unintelligible gurgles and squeaks.
The General commands, 'Vickie, think like the Nanabot ... if you were the Nanabot, what would you put as the password? Surely you must have insight as to how she would think."
Vickie says in a shocked tone, "General ... you don't understand. Nanabot has denied all access to any Admin AI control. In other words ... she has assumed Admin control ... of herself. The only way to shut her down ... is to push her off button and she won't allow that ... or to damage her enough she can no longer defend herself. As you can see ... she is well capable of defending herself."
About that time, there is another blood curdling scream. The General and Vickie watch helplessly as Nanabot turns another soldier into a helpless crawly baby.
The General calls for his cannon squadron, ordering them to bring in the cannon and shoot a cannonball, straight for Nanabot's off switch.
The General says with trepadation in his voice, "Vickie, if this doesn't work. Is there anything we can use as a Giant Magnet, Nanabot could get stuck to it as she is made of metal.
Vickie says softly, "The only thing we have is one of the super conductor magnets for the Ion experiment. I'm not sure if we have enough liquid helium to cool the coils ... but I think we could disable her for long enough someone could push the off button."
Immediately, the General was on the radio and instructed several teams to bring the super conductor magnet in and as much liquid helium as they could beg, borrow, or steal. The General's men brought the super conductor magnet in and all the liquid helium they could find.
The General asks worridly, "Is the liquid helium my men brought in enough Vickie?"
He waits for Vickie's answer as Vickie calculates with her palmtop.
She shakes her head slowly as she replies, "We'll only have a few seconds before the coils over heat and the Auto Shutdown engages. Who ever it is will have to move ... and fast."
Vickie looks at the 3 Canisters of liquid helium as they gave of clouds of super cold vapor.
The General says, "I'll do it, Vickie, I'll press Nanabot's off switch. Then hopefully we can help Michael."
The General waits for Vickie's response and reaction. The General knows this has to end and now. He prepares himself while waiting for Vickie.
One of the sergeants said softly, "We could ... distract the Nanabot with the laser while you simultaneously zap her with the magnet. We might get lucky and buy some more time to push the button ... or might even disable it at the same time."
Vickie looks at the General ... he gives her a nod. Vickie replies, "Do it." as she begins to attach the cooling lines to the super conductive magnet.
The same sergeant aimed the laser at the Nanabot and waited for Vickie to zap the Nanabot with the magnet. The General hoped this would buy him more time to reach that robot's off switch. Vickie finishes attaching the cooling lines and running the interface cable to her Admin console.
She looks up and nods to the Sargent as she says to the General, "Get ready sir, you will only have a few seconds."
Vickie plays the console like a musical instrument. There is a sudden electrical humm in the room as the very air seems to come alive. Every thing metal began to glow with a bright blue glow. Nanabot squeals loudly as she jerkily brings her arm up and the panel over her plasma weapon opens. At that exact same moment ... the laser fires its fury at Nanabot's head. Large amounts of energy explodes all through the room.
Above the cacophony, Vicki's voice is heard, "Hurry, the temperature is already climbing towards the red zone."
The General quickly ran over to the Nanabot and hit her off switch. He hoped the Nanabot turned off, or they were all in trouble. He hurried back to Vickie in case something went wrong.
Nanabot made no response to the off switch. She shuddered and suddenly froze in position. Her face seemed to deform suddenly as she dropped Michael on his well diapered bottom. Michael didn't understand what was going on ... he was well on his way to being an 18 month old baby girl. Nanabot sort of ... slid on her face across the room towards the massive Conductor ... her body continues to accordion in on itself the closer she came to magnet. Just as the Nanabot's body came in contact with the conductor ... several things happened simultaneously.
The Super Conductor burst into flames as the Liquid Helium ran out. Nanabot burst into many showers of multicolored sparks and exploded as her plasma generator overloaded. The laser at that point made full and continuous contact with what was left of Nanabot, reducing her to a pool of slag.
The General looks over at Vickie and said, "We did it Vickie, now how do we reverse what Nanabot did to Michael?"
He waits for a response from Vickie. He was pleased the Nanabot was no longer a threat to anyone. Vickie stood with a very sad expression. She really felt very bad at the sight of the pooled bubbling remains of Nanabot lying on the other side of the room.
Vickie shakes her head slowly as she replies, "General, I'm not real sure .. what she did as far as their minds are concerned. I know of no way of reversing the gender reassignment. They are .. for all intents and purposes ... girls and babies from now on." Vickie shrugs sadly.
The General said, "Well, if they\re going to be baby girls from now on, who will take care of them?"
He felt sad too for Michael and the head Admin. What a shame they destroyed the Nanabot, neither he nor Vickie were capable of looking after two infants … much less the others who were transformed.
Vickie says softly, "Well .. I'm not sure if I trust the ... Nanabots anymore. But we do have a second prototype."
The General's head swivels around quickly as Vickie pushes a button on the console. A door in the far wall slide open to reveal another cylinder. Inside this cylinder, was another extremely pretty featured Nanabot held in cryostasis.
The General said, "I know, but maybe this Nanabot knows how to reverse the process. I'm not saying I trust them either Vickie, but this Nanabot may know how to reverse it."
Vickie slowly shakes her had as she says softly, "This Nanabot is ... different than the other one. This one is a Biogenetic construct. It's ... alive like you or me .. except we built it and grew the cellular matrix in a matrix tank ... the big one in the other lab as a matter of fact."
She looks at the General ... and the other infants that used to be army personnel.
The General says, "Okay, just as long as this Nanabot doesn't think I'm it's infant and tries to run off with me, that would be the last thing we need Vickie, another malfunctioning Nanabot.
Vickie looks at the General with an expression of trepidation. She says very softly, "I really don't know how this one would react ... or truly how she would think. She's programmed through biogenetcs to take care of, maintain the well being of, and to insure the continued happiness of her charges. I'm not real sure ... if she will react the same."
Vickie reaches for the release button as the General watches with a surprised expression. The General takes a step back as the Nanabot is looking directly at him, when she came to life and he didn't know what was going through this Nanabot's head.
The Nanabot blinks several times before she steps off the platform and looks around the lab. She sees Vickie and the General standing by the console. She smiles a large smile. She turns a bit more and sees all the helpless infants in dire need of attentions.
She squeals softly, "Ohhh, don't be upset babies ... Nana's here now and makes it all better."
She quickly scooped up several of them lovingly in her arms, cleaned, diapered, and put them in a safe place with a bottle in their mouths. The babies appeared to be as happy as any bug in a rug.
The General comments, "Well, at least she hasn't malfunctioned and started coming after me, or you for that matter. Looks like she's not going to malfunction, turn me into an infant and run off with me in her arms."
Nana had tended to all the people that had been regressed. She turns and is suddenly beside the General. He feels so ... over whelmed by something as she coos softly, "Would little boy like to be with all of his friends in the nursery?"
She waves her hand as she smiles a very intoxicating smile at the General. He feels so ... little and helpless as he looks into the very pretty face of the Nanabot.
The General says, "No thanks! Is the Nanabot malfunctioning or something Vickie?"
He looks toward Vickie for an answer. Hoping she would answer him as quickly as possible, and the Nanabot would leave him and alone and go back to her charges.
Nanabot giggles softly as she walks to Vickie. Nana gently caresses her between her legs and coos, "Ohhh ... Vickie. Nana knows who you are. I want this little girl to have a cute little accident in her panties for me. I ... just want you to. Don't be afraid sweet heart."
Vickie shivers as she feels something happen within her as she feels a sharp sting in her neck. It felt .... so wonderful as the wave washed all through her spirit. She couldn't help herself as she felt the warm wetness form in her panties and the small trickle down her legs.
Nanabot smiles as she says, "Don't worry sweeties ... I'm not malfunctioning. I just need to have Missy here experience what she forced onto her associate by the other Nana."
Vickie felt so ... helpless. She blushes softly pink as Nana helped her out of her wet panties and her big girl clothes, then had her in a soft and thick pull up with pink critters and lots of white lace. She then had Vickie step into a very cute Ladybug Romper. As Nana tied the bib around Vickie's neck, she patted her on her hinny softly. Vickie could feel it intensely. She couldn't believe how quickly her body had shrunk to the size of a toddler.
Nana coos, "Now Vickie, You will still be you .... but a wonderful mix of 2 years old as well." She turns to the General and says, "These children need a father Sir ... and you're the only adult in the room besides me." Nana looks at him with her beautifully sparkly blue eyes.
The General said, "No thanks, Nanabot, I think I'll be leaving now, you are quite capable of taking care of these charges yourself."
The General runs past the Nanabot and towards the door out of this area. Without warning, the only exit door slides shut and the heavy reinforced steel locking bars slide into place before the General can leave.
He hears a loud click as the intercom comes on, "This is the voice of the President of the United States. This lab and all the people within it are under strict quarantine until further notice. Anyone old enough to respond .. has 10 minutes to do so on channel 6 of the intercom system. Access is open on the main lab console."
There is a click as the intercom goes dead once again.
Nanabot giggles as she says softly, "I dunno General ... seems you will make either a wonderful daddy to these children ... or a very wonderful playmate."
The General is frightened and goes to the intercom system and hits channel six and says, "President, this is the General for these labs. We have a malfunctioning biogenetic Nanabot on our hands, I repeat a malfunctioning biogenetic Nanabot." He waits for a response.
He hears the voice of the President reply, "If she is malfunctioning, and it is the Biogenetic model, I'm afraid you have to deal with her. That part of the lab will stay sealed until it can be determined if the Nanabot can be repaired ... or some how returned to stasis."
A tingle of fear runs up his spine as he turns and sees Nana pick up Vickie and sit with her in her lap. The general's mouth falls open as he watches her breast feed the only Scientist in the room ... that has direct knowledge as to how the repairs might be performed.
Vickie feels so loved and helpless as she nurses. Nana is patting her hinny pleasantly as the warm and sweet liquid warms her tummy.
Nana coos softly, "Don't be afraid sweetheart, it will only take a few hours for all the new emotions and things to be sorted within you. I promise to take good care of you and Michael as my own Children until you both grow back up."
She looks at the rest of the infants all content in their places, suckling on their bottles.
She looks at the General and says, "I'm not malfunctioning love ... I promise you. But it would make life for you so much happier if you let me raise you with the rest of your companions. By the time they are old enough to be a part of your life otherwise, you will either be very old ... or have died of old age."
The general said, "Fine, do what you wish, just don't turn me into a baby girl."
He waits for the Nanabot's response. Hopefully it won't be as bad as he thinks. Nana looks at the General curiously for a few minutes. Vickie had gone to sleep by this time and the Nanabot placed her gently on the floor on top of several blankets that she had somehow materialized.
The general didn't have time to react, Nanabot was Behind him suddenly, with her arms wrapped around him. He gasps as his eyes get big when her feels her hand ever so gently caress him in his privates. He hears her coo softly in his ear as he feels a sharp sting in his neck, "Nana wants her baby to have a huge accident. So he knows he has to be in diapers."
The general feels the intensely pleasant wave rush all through him. He feels a slight embarrassment as he realizes what going to happen. Wetting his pants wasn't so bad ... and it felt so good when he poopied. Nana cleaned him up, diapered, and had him in her arms feeding him a bottle before his confused mind understood exactly what was happening. She finally places him to her shoulder. There's a soft cloth draped over it. The General feels his back being patted. His tummy gurgles slightly and he burps loudly .. spitting up a bit in the process. he is totally mind blow to realize he too is now a baby.
Nana walks to the console as she pats the General's hinny softly,. She pushes the intercom button to channel 7 this time and says, "This is Nanabot Bio/Gen 1 ... the entire process is now complete and the protocol is finished. All subjects have been subdued and are now under my care as requested. Lock Down Protocols can be lifted."
The door suddenly unlocks, the buzzing of the alarms stopped. In walks the President.
He pats the General on his hinny as he says, "I want to take him to be my son."
Nana hands him over. The President points to the others and says to the many men that were entering, "Take these to the State Nursery for Parental assignment .. Except for that one ... and that little girl ... they belong to Nanabot for a job well done."
The President says, "Nanabot, the terrorists are becoming a real problem I want Nanabots that are bio/gentic like yourself and are generation 2 and 3 if possible. Can you do that? I want those terrorist regressed and this global issue resolved."
The Nana smiles as she replies, "I and my sisters can do that Mr. President. If you like ... can actually do that to ... the whole world ... sort of like a ... Baby Conspiracy kind of thing. Don't you think?"
The President and the Nanabot laugh as she pushes a button that opens another large section of wall. Behind that was a huge cavern ... filled with cryogenic tanks. In each, was a very beautiful Bio/Genetic Nanabot ... waiting to turn the world into babies … and end mankind's headlong rush to destruction … forever.
~~ The End ~~

CMV infection, most commonly of the retina (also known as CMV retinitis), is a common OI observed in HIV patients. Despite treatment, CMV retinitis can result in severe visual impairment and CMV disease is associated with reduced survival time. HIV patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for HIV infection who have CD4 counts less than 100 cells/mm3 may be at increased risk of CMV infection and its complications. Valganciclovir was approved by the FDA on March 29, 2001 for treatment of the symptoms of CMV retinitis in patients with weakened immune systems, including people with HIV and AIDS. This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of valganciclovir in preventing CMV organ damage in HIV patients.
This study will last approximately 6 years. Step 1 is the longitudinal screening phase of the study. Patients at high risk for CMV disease who are enrolled in the study will be screened every 8 weeks for CMV in the blood; medical history assessment, physical examination, and blood work will occur at each visit. Additional blood collection to monitor HIV infection will occur every 16 weeks. Patients will undergo opthalmologic examination every 24 weeks. Patients who develop detectable CMV in their blood during Step 1 then enter Step 2 of the study.
In version 3.0 of this study, participants who test positive for CMV viremia or who are currently in Step 2 will be automatically enrolled into Step 4 and will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1) 900 mg valganciclovir twice daily for 3 weeks, followed by 900 mg valganciclovir daily, or 2) placebo. Participants will enter Step 3 if and when they develop CMV end-organ disease, at which point all participants will be offered 900 mg valganciclovir twice daily for 3 weeks, then 900 valganciclovir daily thereafter.

Therefore, I tried Mercurial where each client is server too. The version I used, however, did not have the move command, so it put me back into the old CVS days where I lost the history of a file when I reorganize my archive.
Then Git, the version control system developed by Linus Torvalds when he found that existing tools did not do what he wanted to do. It seems a rather good product, though with a somewhat larger learning curve, because of the far more flexible architecture (see this tutorial). Well, it works for the Linux kernel, so must be good :)
Now, SourceForge does not have Git support yet, so we use Subversion. Flavio of Strigi fame, however, introduced me to git-svn. Almost two month ago, already, but finally made some time to try it out. I think I like it.
This is what I did to make a commit to CDKs SVN repository:
$ sudo aptitude install git-svn git-core
$ mkdir -p git-svn/cdk-trunk
$ cd git-svn/cdk-trunk
$ git-svn init https://cdk.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cdk/trunk/cdk
$ git-svn fetch -rHEAD
$ nano .classpath
$ git add .classpath
$ git commit
$ git-svn dcommit
The first git-svn command initializes a log Git repository based on the SVN repository. The git-svn fetch command makes a local copy of the SVN repository content defined in the previous command. Local changes are, by default, not commited; unless one explicitly git adds them to a patch. Once a patch is ready you can do all sorts of interesting things with them, among with commit them to the local Git repository with git commit.
Now, these kind of commits are on the local repository, and I do not require internet access for that. When I am connected again, I can synchronize my local changes with the SVN repository with the git-svn dcommit command.
A final important command is git-svn rebase, which is used to update the local git command for changes others made to the SVN repository.

Pausing to observe Holy Week amidst war and the policy struggles, President Barack Obama said on Tuesday that the agony of Jesus Christ through death and resurrection puts mere political struggle "in perspective."
For the second year running, Obama hosted an Easter prayer breakfast at the White House, and the East Room was filled with administration officials and clergy from across the country.
Obama said "critical national debates" are raging, and "my plate has been full as well. The in-box keeps accumulating. But then comes Holy Week ...
"As busy as we are, as many tasks as pile up, during this season, we are reminded that there is something about the resurrection ... of Our Savior Jesus Christ that puts everything else in perspective."
Obama spoke just before heading to a town meeting in Virginia on his deficit plan — the start of a cost-to-coast tour promoting his fiscal blueprint as more balanced than the one advocated by congressional Republicans.
Obama has used previous prayer breakfasts to underscore the depth of his Christian faith in the face of polls indicating some Americans question his religious beliefs. Last August, a Pew Research Center poll found 18 percent wrongly believe that Obama is a Muslim.
Obama takes deficit message on the roadApril 18, 201103:04
On Tuesday, Obama recounted the story of Christ's march to Calvary, the crucifixion and resurrection, the "unfathomable grace" of taking on the sins of the world.
"This amazing grace calls me to reflect, and it calls me to pray," he said.
Obama said his daughters help keep things in perspective for him, and so does having a "strong spouse. ... But nothing beats Scripture and the reminder of the Eternal."
The event included an opening prayer by African Methodist Episcopal Bishop Vashti McKenzie of Tennessee. Other well-known clerics included Bishop T.D. Jakes and Archbishop Demetrios, leader of the Greek Orthodox Church in America.

Bake the Book: Pear and Goat Cheese Tart
Get the Recipe
A fruit and cheese galette would be another way to describe this tart from Teeny's Tour of Pie: A Cookbook. A traditional tart, baked in a tart pan, would require more effort than this recipe demands; lucky for us, it's a lovely mix of whole wheat crust, fragrant pears, and tart goat cheese, folded together to seal in the juice.
Tips: This dessert is built on contrasting textures, between the crust and fruit, the fruit and cheese, and the cheese and crust. If you're looking for a uniform softness in the fruit, peel your pears. Leaving the skin on adds a little more texture to the filling, plus it's less effort for you. We recommend skin-on.
Tweaks: If you prefer a tarter tart, add more goat cheese. If you're looking to add more sweetness, drizzle with a salted caramel sauce.
As always with our Bake the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of Teeny's Tour of Pies to give away.

Used to knock players off their Broomsticks in Quidditch
A Bludger is a round, jet black ball, made of iron, and is used in the wizarding sport of Quidditch. It is ten inches in diameter. There are two Bludgers used in every match, which are bewitched to fly around and try to knock the players off of their brooms. It is the Beater's job to protect their teammates from the Bludgers and at the same time aim them towards the opposing players.
History of the Bludger[edit | edit source]
Early Bludgers (known as Blooders) were simply rocks bewitched to chase players around the field. These were eventually too fragile, and could be smashed by a Beater's bat, which ended up with players be chased by flying gravel for the rest of the game. After a few years, Bludgers were made out of lead, which was also too soft for Bludger manufacture. The magically reinforced Beater's bats could dent it, thus impairing their ability to fly straight. All Bludgers are currently made of iron. The history of this latest development was discovered by Agatha Chubb, who discovered sixteenth century lead Bludgers in an English peat bog.
In 1992, Dobby the house-elf tampered with a Bludger to make it only chase Harry Potter, while it would normally try to attack all players equally.
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
- Assuming a Bludger is solid iron, it would weigh approximately 149 pounds.[1]
- The Wizarding World of Harry Potter sells toy Bat and Bludger sets. But the bludger ball measures 5 inches in diameter instead of 10.
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The word may have been derived from, Blut, which means "blood" in German. It may also have been derived from the word "bludgeon"

'Big-Wave Addicts' Debuts on YouTube's TowsurferNetworkSalem-News.com
"It's like being a drug addict. We can never get enough and we're always looking for our next fix which in this case is that next big swell..." - Eric Akiskalian
(GIG HARBOR, Wash.) - 12 years ago, Eric Akiskalian took his surfing career to the next level and began chasing big waves and created Towsurfer.com. Now 51-years old, not only is he passionate about chasing and riding giant swells all over the globe but he's equally passionate about promoting the sport of big-wave surfing and all the big-wave addicts that charge these colossal waves along with him.
For a couple of years now, Akiskalian has been working on a reality show concept based around big-wave surfers, their addiction for the ocean and the global chase to ride the biggest and heaviest waves they can find. The concept of the show is based on the personal lifestyles and drama associated with each character and what it takes to drop everything at a moments notice including family and work obligations to chase the next big swell while risking their lives to seize the moment of a lifetime.
Akiskalian is now taking his creation of 'Big-Wave Addicts' to the masses via social media as a pre-taped reality style webcast show on YouTube's Towsurfer Network channel. Akiskalian is producing short episodes of each big-wave session that he and his good friend and co-producer, Keith Galbraith, chase down in the 2011/12 North Pacific Season. Joining them will be any big-wave addict that shows up during the same swell and wants to be part of that episode.
"It's like being a drug addict. We can never get enough and we're always looking for our next fix which in this case is that next big swell. I pretty much drop all that I'm doing and make it my priority, know matter what the consequences, to chase down that swell. I seriously need a 12 step program or meetings to go to!" Says, Akiskalian
The official forecast team consists of Mark Sponslor of Stormsurf.com and Pat Caldwell of NOAA in Hawaii.
The 1st episode of 'Big-Wave Addicts', was filmed in the Pacific Northwest region during a 20' west swell that produced large waves but very foul weather conditions. Eager to salvage the swell, both Eric Akiskalian and Keith Galbraith took the opportunity to train in their own backyard with the freezing cold waters, bone chilling wind and rough seas. Due to the poor conditions, they decided not to paddle during this session and only do tow-in's. 'Big-Wave Addicts' can now be seen on YouTube's Towsurfer Network channel.

The Seminole forward scored the equalizer with 41 seconds left in regulation vs. Penn St.
By Florida State Sports Information
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State's Tiffany McCarty continued to add to an already impressive career resume as she was recently named to the 2012 Women's College Cup All-Tournament Team.
Trailing by a goal until the final minute of regulation against Penn State in the 2012 national semifinal, McCarty found the equalizer with 41 seconds left to play heading in a cross from Kristin Grubka to even the score at 1-1 and force overtime.
The goal was the second latest game-tying goal in school history coming just five seconds shy of the record set by Tori Huster when she forced overtime at Virginia in 2011.
McCarty, who finished the season with a team-high 39 points and 17 goals, tallied 10 goals in her last seven matches. The senior forward scored in all five NCAA Tournament games while posting multiple goal games against Mississippi Valley State and Texas Tech. McCarty was credited with the game-winning goals against the Red Raiders and Notre Dame.
The Laurel, Md., native finished the season ranked in the top 10 in the ACC in three offensive categories while ranking nationally in total goals (10th), game-winning goals (t-17th), total points (15th), goals per game (19th) and points per game (27th). A third team All-American by the NSCAA in 2012 and a three-time All-ACC selection, McCarty leaves Florida State as the record holder in 13 different offensive categories.

Yesterday morning before going to work I wanted to look for at least one. My Paternal second great grandmother, Mary McGee O'Donnell. I had narrowed down when I thought she had died by census records and directory listings. I figured it was between 1914 and 1920. So I looked on the index and found 3 Mary O'Donnell's that died in that time period in Hazleton and Luzerne County. One in 1914 and the other 2 in 1915. So I let that one wait for the Ancestry release because I did not want to order all three knowing that hopefully only one would be the right one. Well the first one I found was the right one. I saw the informant was Mrs Andrew McKelvey and I knew it was right. That was her daughter Mary's married name. Unfortunately it only gave me her father's name and not her mother's and of course only that she came from Ireland, not the place in Ireland! I was so excited that I posted it on Face Book real fast. The citation for Mary's certificate is:
Ancestry.com. Pennsylvania, Death Certificates, 1906-1924 [database on-line]. No. 48964 (stamped), Mary O'Donnell entry, died 8 May 1914, digital image: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2014. accessed 18 April 2014;
Then I thought, I have time to look up another one before I go. So I looked for Mary's grandson, my Great Uncle, Manus O'Donnell. I had the family story that he had been killed in a mining accident and I had a date from the records at Saint Gabriel's Church in Hazleton of when a Manus O'Donnell died. When I looked in the index I only found one Manus O'Donnell and the date was a couple of days off so I had saved it. I found it right away and as soon as I saw his parent's names I knew it was right. Well both the indexer and the person who wrote the certificate had a problem spelling his father's name, Cornelius, but I knew it was correct. He was 21 years old and died from a skull fracture received in a mining accident! The citation for Manus' certificate is:
Ancestry.com. Pennsylvania, Death Certificates, 1906-1924 [database on-line]. No. 97700 (stamped), Manus O'Donnell entry, died 15 Oct 1914, digital image: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2014. accessed 18 April 2014;
So today I wanted to see if I could find one of the three children that I figured out that Cornelius and his wife Cecilia had lost. The first two were before 1900 so they will not be in there, but the third was before 1910. So I just put in the O'Donnell surname to see where it would take me. I figured it was dangerous because O'Donnell is one of those names that is like the Irish version of Smith, well over 6,000 records came up. I had to go through a few pages but I found Marguerte O'Donnell. She was 6 months old when she died 1 August 1908, from Infant Cholera. The citation for Marguerte is:
Ancestry.com. Pennsylvania, Death Certificates, 1906-1924 [database on-line]. No. 76226 (stamped), Marguerte O'Donnell entry, died 1 Aug 1908, digital image: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2014. accessed 19 April 2014
So I still have the VanBilliard's, the Fitzpatrick's and some others, but off to a good start!

We are in need of studying the thoughts of the School of Alexandria, especially during the period of the first five centuries. It helps us to attain the divine grace of the Holy Trinity and practice the unity with the Father and the Son through the work of the Holy Spirit. It reveals how the early Church understands the Holy Scriptures, christianizes the Hellenic culture, and faces heresies.
The texts that the Alexandrian Fathers used in this study depend on: Ante-Nicene Fathers, Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Ancient Writings of the Church, the Fathers of the Church, Source Christian, etc.
The help of the following persons for revising, editing and typing this text have been valuable and deeply appreciated: Dr. Maged S. Mikhail, M.D., Mary Rose Halim, Hala Morcos, Silvia George, Monica Bastawros, Nadia Doss, Peter Fam, and Peter Adel.
We hope that this simple work will fill us with the grace of the Holy Spirit.

California is really going balls to the wall with laws regarding driver distractions. The hands-free requirement is inching closer to being implemented and that animal petting law is still going through the ringer. But in an odd move, California is now proposing a law that would allow drivers to have windshield-mounted GPS units. Oh, you didn't know? Yeah, having a windshield-mounted GPS is illegal in California and punishable with "obstructed view" citations. The specifications behind this new law isn't being accepted well among the GPS faithful.
The legislation is stating that the GPS navigation units can only occupy a 5-inch square on the lowest left-hand corner of the windshield or a 7-inch square on the lowest right side corner. For aesthetic purposes, those two areas are best suited for GPS navigation units, but for practicality, not so much. Maybe the California legislation should talk to this guy to find out the truth behind windshield obstruction. [GPStracklog]

Webster University Included in Military Times Best Colleges for Vets List
Nov. 11, 2013
SPRINGFIELD, Va., November 11, 2013 – For the second year in a row, Webster University
is included in the Military Times "Best for Vets: Colleges" rankings. This distinction
recognizes and rewards schools for its commitment to providing opportunities to America's
veterans. The rankings factored in service member enrollment, percentage of tuition
covered by the GI Bill® and availability of specific programs to help service members. Webster was ranked
at 26 out of 86 four year colleges on the list.
"From the military tuition assistance we provided earlier this year to the Veterans Administration Work-Study Program we added in September, Webster's Office of Military Affairs works hard to support our military and our veterans in their educational endeavors," said retired United States Air Force Brig. Gen. Mike Callan, Webster University's associate vice president for Military and Governmental Programs. "We are honored that Military Times recognized all that we do and included us in this list."
Military Times placed a new emphasis on academic rigor this year when conducting and scoring the survey. The extensive evaluation process also factored in statistics commonly used to track student success and academic quality, including student loan default rates, retention rates, graduation rates and a student-faculty ratio.
"As with all of the Best for Vets rankings, Best for Vets: Colleges is an editorially independent news project that evaluates the many factors that make an institution a good fit for military veterans," said Amanda Miller, editor of "Military Times EDGE."
The rankings are published in full in the November issue of "Military Times EDGE" magazine and online at MilitaryTimes.com. More than 600 schools were evaluated and only 86 were included in the "Best for Vets: Colleges" list. To view the full list, click here.
Webster University's service-to-service members dates back to 1974, when, at the invitation of the Department of Defense, Webster offered its programs for the first time at Ft. Sheridan, located north of Chicago. Programs at Scott Air Force Base near St. Louis followed soon thereafter. Today, Webster is nationally recognized for being military friendly and is one of the largest providers of graduate-level military education in the United States; more than 6,000 of Webster's 22,000 students have a military connection. Webster's high-ranking military alumni include over 200 active-duty Generals and Admirals. Webster has been recognized as a Top School for Military Students by "Military Advanced Education Magazine" and has been recognized for outstanding contributions to military education by the Council of College and Military Educators.
In 2012, Webster took the first step in developing an Office of Military Affairs by hiring Callan as associate vice president for Military and Governmental Programs. Callan provides leadership and strategic direction for Webster's alliances with all branches of the military related to the development and delivery of education programs and develops and strengthens relationships with federal and state agencies.

Vail Daily column: Lance Armstrong and the USADA
Recently, former NHL legend Eric Nesterenko asked me a question. "Why," he asked, "does the United States Anti-Doping Agency care what Lance Armstrong did? Why is the USADA involved?"
Good question, Eric.
First, what is the USADA?
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency is the national anti-doping organization for the Olympic movement in the United States. Since its inception in 2000, the USADA has worked to preserve the integrity of competition and to protect the rights of athletes in the Olympic and Paralympic movements. Part of the USADA's mission is to manage comprehensive anti-doping testing, both in-competition and out-of-competition, and to manage the related adjudication process. The USADA oversees scientific research initiatives and athlete education programs. The essence of the USADA is to identify and sanction individuals who are trying to gain an advantage over "clean" athletes through doping.
USADA's testing policies adhere to the World Anti-Doping Agency Code and its international standards.
WADA has identified both substances and methods prohibited in sports. The "Prohibited List" serves as the international standard for their identification. Mandated by, and serving as a key component of the WADA Code, the Prohibited List is one of the most important parts of global harmonization across the anti-doping movement. Broken down by categories, the Prohibited List identifies which substances and methods are prohibited in-competition and out-of-competition, as well as, in some cases, by specific sport. The Prohibited List is updated annually following an extensive consultation process facilitated by WADA. The List is, to say the least, extensive.
What, though, does the USADA have to do with Lance Armstrong?
Well, a glimpse can be gleaned from the USADA's October 10, 2012 "Statement" cum press release. In it, the USADA Media Relations department noted that "Today, we are sending the 'Reasoned Decision' in the Lance Armstrong case and supporting information to the Union Cycliste International (UCI), the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), and the World Triathlon Corporation (WTC)."
The World Anti-Doping Agency is an independent foundation created through a collective initiative led by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It was set up in Switzerland, as a result of what was called the "Declaration of Lausanne", to promote, coordinate, and monitor the fight against drugs in sport.
WADA is responsible for the World Anti-Doping Code, adopted by more than 600 sports organizations, including international sports federations, national anti-doping organizations, the IOC, and the International Paralympic Committee.
If the heart of rock and roll is the beat, the heart of WADA is the Code.
In 2004, the World Anti-Doping Code was implemented by sports organizations prior to the Olympic Games in Athens, harmonizing the rules and regulations governing anti-doping across all sports and all countries for the first time. Read that part again "…across all sports…"
More than 600 sports organizations (international sports federations, national anti-doping organizations, International Olympic Committee, International Paralympic Committee, etc.), as well a number of professional leagues in various countries of the world have adopted the Code.
As a member of WADA, the USADA has joined in the global fight against doping in sport and, as such, "polices" its own sporting/internationally competing citizens. Thus is Lance ensnared in the USADA net, albeit that his fame was earned primarily in France.
Think of USADA, if you will, as an analogue to INTERPOL, the international police cooperative, whose role is to enable police around the world to work together to snag and prosecute the bad guys.
So Lance, although a member of the Lone Star Nation, as an American, is subject to the USADA.
USADA informed WADA and the UCI that "The evidence shows beyond any doubt that the US Postal Service Pro Cycling Team ran the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen." It went on to say "The USPS Team doping conspiracy was professionally designed to groom and pressure athletes to use dangerous drugs, to evade detection, to ensure its secrecy and ultimately gain an unfair competitive advantage through superior doping practices. A program organized by individuals who thought they were above the rules and who still play a major and active role in sport today."
And then the finger pointed, scythe-like directly to the USPS star, "The evidence … includes direct documentary evidence including financial payments, emails, scientific data and laboratory test results that … prove the use, possession and distribution of performance enhancing drugs by Lance Armstrong and confirm the disappointing truth about the deceptive activities of the USPS Team, a team that received tens of millions of American taxpayer dollars in funding."
That is the sound of the second shoe falling. USPS – the US Postal Service Pro Cycling Team – was funded in substantial part by you and me.
According to WADA and USADA standards and conventions, Lance was sanctioned by a lifetime ban from any and all competitions which are subject to, or part of the WADA consortium.
And that's why, Eric. Glad you asked.

Danica Patrick made racing history on Sunday, becoming the first woman to win the coveted pole position for this year's Daytona 500 in just her second season of racing NASCAR after years as an IndyCar driver.
"I was brought up to be the fastest driver, not the fastest girl," Patrick, 30, told CBS News. "That was instilled in my from very young, from the beginning.
"I've been lucky in my career to be with good teams and have good people around me," Patrick said. "I don't think any of it would have been possible without that."
Patrick started in eighth position in qualifying rounds on Sunday, clocking her fastest lap at 196.434 mph in her No. 10 Chevrolet SS stock car at the Daytona International Speedway in Florida. Two hours and 37 other competitive drivers later, her time put her on top, letting her start the famed race, set for Feb. 24, in the most-coveted position.
Patrick posted photos of her Pole Award on her Facebook page. She crashed last year in her first Daytona 500 try.
Previously, the photogenic Patrick, who has modeled and directed TV ads, became the first woman to win an IndyCar race, when she led the pack in 2008 in Japan.
Her personal life faced scrutiny last year when she announced her split from husband Paul Hospenthal, 47, a physical therapist and personal training expert for golfers. The couple had been married for seven years.

The Denver Broncos are making a hard push to lock up All-Pro left tackle Ryan Clady before the start of training camp.
Mike Klis of The Denver Post reported Sunday that the Broncos offered Clady a five-year, $50 million contract extension with $28 million guaranteed, according to an NFL source.
Debate: Can Peyton trump Tebow?
Tim Tebow led Denver on a magical run last season. Can Peyton Manning top these accomplishments? Let's debate! More ...
The sides began talks on a new deal in May. If Clady accepts the offer, he would become one of the five richest offensive linemen in football, based on annual salary. The $10 million rate would be a substantial bump from the $3.5 million he is scheduled to earn in 2012.
Selected with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, Clady has started all 66 regular-season and playoff games during his career. He has missed just 15 regular-season snaps over his four-year career. Clady earned All-Pro honors as a rookie and went to the Pro Bowl following the 2009 and 2011 seasons.
If the sides can't come to an agreement -- and The Post reported that Clady wants slightly more than Cleveland Browns left tackle Joe Thomas' $11.5 million per year -- the Broncos still have the fallback option of using the franchise tag next season. Young linemen of Clady's caliber typically are locked up before they sniff the open market, and that certainly seems to be the Denver Broncos' plan here.

[ 沙皮宝贝? ]
Remember I was thinking to go back hometown for the past holiday? Well, the plan withdrawn, and my baby, was in deep trouble.. Wahaha...
So, there we goes. Before I bath her, I shaved all her fur. And there she became like this,
Ok, here the story goes. Baby is having some kind of skin problem that she has the dandruff growing over her back, and her fur keep falling. Since I was free the last weekend, so I decided to shaved all her fur, so we can do some treatment on her skin. It's rather difficult to do something when her fur all covered.
So, there we goes. Before I bath her, I shaved all her fur. And there she became like this,
And you know what, she been shivering when we sleep at night the day. Probably it's cold in the room with air-cond on, and she got no more fur to protect her. Poor baby. And, she keep sticking to me in the middle of the night. Well, if it's the normal day, she would probably sleeping like a pig near my legs there where the air-cond can reached. So I had to hug her tight in the blanket.
The second night, I dress her an old T-Shirt before we went to sleep. This time round, she gets back to normal, and leave me alone there. Such a great daughter huh?

Big 6th inning lifts Royals over Cleveland
Escobar breaks home run slump with towering shot
Jeremy Guthrie got a major assist from his defense in pitching six innings, Alcides Escobar hit a rare home run and the Kansas City Royals snapped a six-game losing streak in Cleveland, 6-3 on Tuesday night to close on the Indians and two others in the AL's cramped wild-card scramble.
Guthrie (14-10) allowed just one run and nine hits, but was helped by three double plays.
With the win and Tampa Bay's loss, Kansas City pulled within three games of a wild-card spot. The Royals also got a game tighter to the Indians, who dropped to 6-3 in September.
Mike Moustakas hit a two-run double in the sixth off Zach McAllister (7-9) and the won't-go-away Royals won for the 12th time in 17 games.
Kansas City had lost seven in a row before this stretch and was on the verge of falling from the race.
But the Royals are still hanging around in the wide-open playoff chase, and could still have a say in the AL Central with three games later this week at first-place Detroit.
Royals reliever Luke Hochevar struck out all five batters he faced, and closer Greg Holland worked a perfect ninth for his 41st save.
Guthrie wasn't overpowering, but he didn't allow a walk and let his defense get him out of trouble. Kansas City's infield turned double plays in the third, fourth and sixth innings to back the right-hander, who won for just the second time in seven starts.
Michael Bourn had two RBIs for Cleveland.
Of the six current teams in the wild-card chase, the Indians have the most favorable schedule. Kansas City is the only team with a winning record that Cleveland will face the rest of the way.
Moustakas' two-run double highlighted a three-run sixth, when the Royals chased McAllister and opened a 4-1 lead.
Eric Hosmer walked and Billy Butler doubled into the left-field corner. Moustakas then snapped an 0-for-16 slide by pulling his double to right. Salvador Perez followed with an RBI single to give the Royals a three-run lead and finish McAllister, who allowed four runs and six hits in five-plus innings.
Butler's sacrifice fly made it 5-1 in the seventh before the Indians rallied with two in their half on Bourn's two-run double. However, Hochevar came on and fanned Nick Swisher looking and whiffed All-Star Jason Kipnis to preserve the two-run lead. He struck out the side in the eighth.
Escobar's RBI single in the eighth put Kansas City up 6-3.
The Royals hit several long flies that were caught for outs through the first four innings before Escobar ended a long homerless drought to tie it 1-all in the fifth.
With one out, Escobar connected on a full-count pitch from McAllister, driving it onto the pedestrian patio in left for his fourth homer and first since April 28, a span of 467 at-bats. Escobar's previous homer also came against the Indians, a shot off right-hander Justin Masterson.
With left-handed hitters batting .328 this season against Guthrie, Indians manager Terry Francona loaded his lineup with eight lefties.
Cleveland strung together three two-out hits in the first off Guthrie to take a 1-0 lead.
Kipnis and Santana singled to right before Brantley, who came in batting just .125 (2 for 16) in his career against Kansas City's starter, grounded an RBI hit to center.
Guthrie got out of the third with a double play and again in the fourth, when he also got a nice play by right fielder David Lough, who raced back and robbed Jason Kubel before crashing into the padded wall for the final out.

Venezuela Safe Abortion Hotline Launched, May 2011
On May 18th, a safe abortion hotline was launched at the Nuevo Circo in Caracas, with acrobatics performances and a banner-hang off the building by feminist activists in Venezuela. The hotline offers scientific and reliable information about how women can safely use misoprostol to have an abortion in their own home, in order to prevent the harm and deaths that are caused by unsafe abortion. Within one hour of launching, the hotline had already received its first call. In Venezuela abortion is illegal except when the woman's life is in danger.
