Pictured is young flat-leaf Italian parsley growing in our garden.
A friend of mine recently confided that she rarely bought parsley, and had none in her garden, because she really didn't know what to do with it. Believe me, I get it. For many of us, parsley is that curly green garnish that comes on the plate in cafeteria food that's mostly there for looks. Why would you eat that? And all these recipes that call for one measly tablespoon of chopped parsley? What's the point? Why buy a whole bunch just for one tablespoon?
Here's the deal. Parsley brightens flavors. It adds balance to savory dishes the way that a little lemon juice can make something just taste better. Parsley is a mild "bitter". The tastebuds on your tongue can distinguish 5 tastes – salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and umami. Salty and sweet are obvious. Sour you get from acid like lemon juice or vinegar. Umami has to do with the savory taste of protein. Bitter you get from citrus zest, bitter greens like kale, mustard greens, arugula, and parsley. Well balanced dishes stimulate all or most of these taste receptors. Adding parsley to a stew doesn't make the stew taste like parsley, but will make the stew taste more balanced, if it doesn't already have a bitter in it.
When I first started cooking I would get annoyed at buying a bunch of parsley for a recipe and then not knowing what to do with the rest of it. Now I look out at our garden that I just planted with 12 parsley plants for my parents, and 6 for me, and I'm hoping that that's enough. Almost every savory dish tastes better with a little chopped parsley either cooked in or sprinkled over the top. (By the way, flat-leaf Italian parsley works better for cooking than the curly parsley. Don't ask me why, it just does.) The best thing about growing parsley plants? Bugs and slugs typically stay away from them. They are biennials, so in mild climates, a plant will live for two years. The plants over-winter well, at least here in California. The frost just seems to make them happy.
Parsley is also good for digestion. As with other bitter herbs, parsley stimulates appetite and your digestive tract. Years ago I learned that you could ask a bartender for bitters to help settle your stomach if you were out to eat and your stomach needed settling (you know what I mean). That concoction is not made with parsley, but with other bitter essences, but the effect is the same. Bitters help digestion.
What to do if you truly have too much parsley hanging around? I recommend making chimichurri, a South American condiment like pesto, that is made with parsley, garlic, oil and vinegar, which is terrific with steak. Or you could just make parsley pesto, and serve it over pasta.
Do you have a favorite dish where parsley is the star ingredient? Please let us know about it in the comments.

Around 200 Venture Capitalists attended a Microsoft-hosted Venture Capital Summit yesterday where Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer talked about what the software giant was up to, including his thoughts on Windows Mobile. As is typical for events like this, a few users happily sent out snippets of their thoughts about the meeting on Twitter. A few of them were picked up by wmpoweruser.com, which showed that Ballmer is being honest about the status of Microsoft's mobile operating system again, for better or for worse.
One venture capitalist by the name of Pjozefak, summarized the discussion of Microsoft's mobile operating system with the following tweet: "Ballmer says they screwed up with Windows Mobile. Wishes they had already lauched [sic] WM7. They completely revamped the team." Remember that this is the general gist of Ballmer's speech and it's unlikely that he actually straight-up admitted that Windows Mobile has been a screw-up recently. The PR keywords in his keynote were apparently "seamless" and "cloud," so while he may have been honest at times, we doubt he stated the whole operating system's state was a failure.
Another attendee by the name of beninato tweeted the following: "Ballmer re: poor execution in Windows Mobile: 'we've pumped in some new talent' and said 'This will not happen again'." Let's look at each of those two separate statements a bit closer.
The talent part is likely in reference to the fact that there are about 1,000 employees working on Windows Mobile 7, something we only found out last week. To put that number into perspective, we learned in August 2008 that there were about 2,500 employees working on Windows 7.
We'd like to say there is more to the second statement, but the truth is it's just an empty promise at this point. In March 2009, Ballmer admitted that Windows Mobile versions need to start coming out faster, but considering 7.0 was delayed many times, he was just saying something everyone knew. The number of employees backing the mobile operating system is impressive; it shows the company is determined to execute. Still, Microsoft is fighting an uphill battle: while 6.5 is a solid improvement, it's just a stepping stone. Until we actually start to see the first 7.0 devices, which are rumored to be arriving in Q4 2010, Microsoft's promises to deliver something that gadget lovers everywhere will crave are not going to convince anyone.

If you want to survive in the game of sports betting, Soccer Fixtures And Predictions in Review then you have to use effective money management. I recommend that you follow these guidelines at all times.
- Only invest what you can realistically afford to lose. Today Football Prediction you have to remember that you really do not need to start with al a lot of money. I got started with only $100 dollars and I followed the system and my money has doubled over and over again over the course of years.
- Do not make your initial bet too high. Only invest 5% of your total bankroll for a flat betting system (in which you bet the same amount each time) and no more than 2% for a progressive system. You need to be patient here and allow your systems to do their slow and steady work.
- Increase your initial bets when your bankroll has increased by 25%. This will increase your earning power, Soccer Fixtures And Predictions just remember to stick to the suggested percentages in #2.
- Remember to Diversify your portfolio. If you have a total bankroll of $1000 and 4 systems that you would like to use, then each system should be allotted $250 and you have to keep those amounts separate.
You have to be disciplined in your use of your systems and in your money management strategy. It can be difficult especially you are doing exceptionally well or if you are losing badly. You may be tempted to deviate from the systems or the money management guidelines in either of those situations. But do not, Predictions On Score Of The Soccer Match On Today just remain diligent and the rewards are sure to follow.
Soccer Fixtures And Predictions in Review?
Do you want to make more money with your soccer bets using the Football Betting Tipsters service website? There has been an increase in activity of soccer betting in recent years with the introduction of better technology for punters to bet online. However, more than 95% of all punters lose money in the long term, but there are some seasoned punters who know how to make money from it consistently.Before you bet with real money on any online website, always be sure to research them carefully first to ensure that they are not scams. Luckily, most gamblers who try online betting are aware of the dangers. To try to make more money from my soccer bets, I decided to join this tipster membership site called Football Betting Tipsters.By becoming a member of this site, you will get access to professional and expert analysis on soccer bets that are based on reliable data. However, you should always be ready to accept occasional losses as they are inevitable and no soccer betting analysis website is 100% accurate. Ever since I started using the strategies provided by this site, I have been betting more logically with more consistent winnings compared to how I was doing on my own before.
Betting the House?
In a previous article I jokingly suggested I had put all my assets – my savings, the deeds to the farm, my kids' Trust fund, and the proceeds from selling one of my kidneys – on a horse at Newbury. I showed this was potentially financial suicide, and an extreme example of bad money management.
I wrote that more often than not a losing punter will find himself saddled with a bunch of bad betting habits. It is these bad habits that have gotten him, and his betting bank, to where his is now – the Poor House.
To arrive at a change in fortune, and to start making consistent profits, the losing punter has to be prepared to make changes to the way in which he bets. In the previous article we talked about the cornerstone supporting my own personal betting strategy, and that is finding value in every bet you make.
You will only ever make a profit from betting if you consistently back horses at prices too high when compared to their actual chance of winning. This is exactly how bookmakers have made their money for generations – they consistently lay horses at prices too low compared to the actual chance of the horse winning. When punters continue to take these low prices day-in and day-out, it will only ever be the bookmakers who come out with a profit in the long run.
The second 'bad habit' I want to examine is the subject of inappropriate staking. What do I mean by staking that is not appropriate? Well, what I am driving at is placing bets that are generally too large in proportion to the size of your betting bank.
Before I expand upon this, the concept of a betting bank is a side-issue in itself. You categorically MUST have a sum of money put aside for the sole purpose of betting. It scares me rigid when I hear of people simply 'dipping' into their current account to place a bet using their debit card.
If you do not have a separate account for your betting activities, you cannot keep records, and you will not be able to answer that simple question, "Am I making a profit, or a loss?"
It goes without saying, that betting involves a degree of risk, and you should never bet with money you cannot afford to lose.
Getting back to inappropriate staking, the idea of lumping all your money on one horse is an extreme example of over-staking. Of course, on the one occasion this strategy may pay off. We had friends round a few nights ago to play one of those Race Night DVDs. I was comfortably in front by studying the form before each race, and placing considered bets at what I considered to be value prices. As you might imagine, I had a suitably smug expression on my face as we came to the last race, and our friends were complaining I enjoyed a 'professional advantage'.
My wife then decided to put every penny she had left on an 8/1 chance. The race turned out to be the 'lucky last' for my wife, and she walked away with the whole bank!
But seriously, continue with these tactics, and it will not be long before you lose everything.
Personally, I would never consider starting any betting campaign with a bankroll of less than 100 points. In other words, I will divide my bank by 100 to arrive at my unit stake. You can see that I will only ever be putting 1% of my bank at risk when I place a bet.
This is a very generalised approach, and you might argue that a little more consideration should be given to a punter's typical strike rate. True, if someone has a strike rate of 50% then it is statistically highly unlikely that he will suffer a run of 100 losers to go bust. So, in this case you might be justified in operating a smaller bank. Bear in mind that when flipping a coin, it is by no means unusual to see 6 or 7 'heads' in succession, and losing runs in double figures do occur.
Erring on the side of caution, you could foresee two such losing runs occurring twice in close succession. In which case, I hope you can see that even when considering a system which such a high strike rate, having a bank of well over 20 points now seems very sensible.
With my own Redd Racing betting service, we enjoy what I would consider to be quite a healthy strike rate. However, we have experienced a negative swing of some 60 points during one particular month a couple years back. The account recovered to make a profit by the end of the month, but it underlined the importance of having a bankroll large enough to absorb the losing runs that EVERYBODY has to endure from time to time.
Indeed, it would probably be better advice if I suggested members of my service had a bankroll of 150 or even 200 points in reserve.
Yet I often receive emails asking me whether it is OK to deposit £100 with Betfair and start with unit stakes of £10.
Betting with stakes too high in proportion to your bank normally comes out of a desire to make money quickly. I think we are all guilty of getting overly greedy sometimes, and unwilling to think a little more long-term. People are inclined to set themselves unrealistic profit targets, given the size of their betting bankroll. Having a bank of £100 and expecting to be able to make £100 per month is not realistic. Get-rich-quick does not exist.
Akin to the Tortoise and Hare story, let me give you an example of where what might initially seem like a very moderate return, actually gives surprising results over time.
If you started with £100 in your betting bank, and increased this bank by just one-half of one per cent every day, after just 6 months your account would have a balance of £244 due to the compounding effect. You could more than double your investment in 6 months with this seemingly small daily profit return. Take that to your bank or building society and see if they can come anywhere near such a deal!
Hopefully this demonstrates how 'slowly but surely' wins the race.
To summarize, my advice would be to set your unit stakes at one per cent, or even one half of one per cent, of your total betting bank. By striking only value bets, and when the odds are in your favour, your betting bank will grow. As your bank grows, so you can naturally increase the size of your unit stake to make more profit – but your bets will still be in proportion to your bank.
In the next part of this Sensible Money Management series, I will look at more bad habits that suck money from the accounts of losing punters.

Win In The Game Of Aging
12.11.2013, 11:51 CST | Posted In: Prevention & Protection, Signs of Aging, Health & Beauty, Products, Skin Care, Videos
Sometimes in life, a good defensive strategy is the key to a successful outcome. The same goes for your skin; you must take a proactive, defensive approach to protecting your skin against premature visible signs of skin aging.
In this video, our Chief Scientist and Head of Product Development, Dr. Laurence Dryer, explains that "one thing you can be certain of is that as you age, your skin will experience unwanted changes. These changes may come in the form of: fine lines, wrinkles, loss of skin elasticity, or sun damage—unfortunately, the list goes on and on and on." At least know that you can take solace in the fact that there are steps you can take to be proactive in limiting these signs of skin aging.
Be sure you have the all-star defensive line-up for your skin care regimen:
- Obagi® Sun Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 50 to help protect your skin against further sun damage
- Vitamin C found in our Professional-C™ Serums or Obagi-C® Rx System to help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Obagi Hydrate™ Facial Moisturizer to combat dry skin
- ELASTIderm® Eye Products, which are specifically designed to care for the delicate skin around your eyes
Do everything you can to protect your skin and remember it's not just what you put on your body, but in your body that counts; be sure that you also: eat healthy, get plenty of sleep, and exercise often.
Next time you cheer "let's go, defense!" remember your skin is rooting for you to make decisions that will help you win the game of aging. With great resources like Obagi products and a skin care physician to coach you through a daily regimen that's right for you, you can help to prevent the visible signs of aging before they start.
Watch as Dr. Dryer discusses why it's never too early to take preventative measures to help protect your skin from the signs of aging and what you can do to get started.
Remember, only your skin care physician can determine what is best for your skin. Find a physician near you and ask them how Obagi can help you feel like a skin care champion.

APD rescues hostage
Suspect was wanted on two felony warrants
A woman was held against her will by a suspected felon on Thursday afternoon.
It happened near Iliff and Coors in northwest Albuquerque.
An APD officer tried conducting a routine traffic stop, only to have the driver jump out of his car, flee and leave behind a two-year-old little girl.
The suspect allegedly barged into a nearby home, holding a woman inside hostage.
APD quickly swarmed the area, as neighbors hunkered down and watched police sweep through backyards.
"It was confusing and quick," said one neighbor, who didn't want to be identified.
APD was soon able to bust into the house and capture the suspect. The woman was shaken but not seriously hurt, according to police.
Police say Manual Romero, 21, is being held on kidnapping and child abuse charges.

Rebekah Brooks's husband has told the hacking trial that he felt "ashamed" and "mortified" over the bungled bid to hide property from police.
Giving evidence at the Old Bailey, Charlie Brooks said he had done something "very stupid" but items stashed in an underground car park at the couple's London flat were his.
The court has heard that property including laptops and lesbian porn DVDs were hidden on July 17 2011, the day police interviewed Mrs Brooks and carried out searches.
Brooks, 51, denies conspiring with his wife and News International head of security Mark Hanna to pervert the course of justice by concealing potential evidence.
Under cross-examination, the race horse trainer said: "I accept the fact I have brought it on myself. I'm not whingeing about it.
"I feel ashamed at what I have done to Mark Hanna, who is a good, innocent man.
"I'm mortified about the way I have embarrassed my wife. I'm furious with myself for being so stupid."
There was laughter in Court 12 when prosecutor Andrew Edis QC said Brooks was a "man of the world" and he replied: "Thank you very much. I have been around."
But Brooks said the police search had been "quite traumatic", adding: "My way of shutting it out was to watch a fairly pointless golf tournament."
He said he was also "under the influence" of alcohol but not "helplessly drunk" that day.
Of his wife's late night return home, he said: "I cannot remember that much about it. I do remember telling her they had been through the cornflakes because I thought that was a weird thing to do."
Brooks was also questioned about his novel, Switch, which he has said he wanted to keep out of the hands of police.
He told the court he had been worried that publisher Harper Collins, which is owned by News Corp, would "dump" him at the height of the hacking crisis because of his wife's connection.
On company support for his wife, Brooks said: "Rupert Murdoch did not want my wife to resign but it's not News Corp in its entirety."
Mrs Brooks, 45, of Churchill, Oxfordshire, denies conspiring to hack phones and commit misconduct in public office.
All seven defendants deny the charges against them.

I was suppose to write and publish this post yesterday– on the first day of 2016 but I was too tired and sleepy so have to make do with today. As you all might have been expecting of course it involves something about new year resolution. Though I'm not a 'new year resolutions' kind of person, mainly because I'm not persistent, I can't follow through things unless my ass is on fire or it's a last minute deadline. But this year I'd be keeping it very simple; Being positive, Being thankful and Learning to be happy.
The first day of 2016 was a whirlwind of emotions, I dragged myself through the day with heaviness of unknown bounds. Now that we've started the clinical side of our studies since about an year- being in the hospital, coming across different kinds of patients and all different kind of diseases your perspective about life in general really gets shaken. So yesterday was no different, I saw a 17 year old boy with Encephalitis (Acute inflammation of brain), he lost consciousness in his school, was taken to hospital where they said he had a heart attack, he was resuscitated (CPR) about 10 times and he came to after 30 minutes during which he suffered from Brain ischemia (due to loss of blood supply to brain). He was on life support for sometime, he had seizures, he had (tracheotomy) done to help breathing afterwards and now though he was conscious, but was not responsive in anyway, no understanding of where he was or who he was, couldn't move a limb by himself and he was so weak that his bones were protruding out as we examined him. Passing from a ward I saw a dead body wrapped in white as his/her family stood around it in the corner quietly hit by waves of pain and shock. So there it was; someone else's first day of the new year. And here I was; Sure I have my own set of problems and my inside was in raging storm and there was this profound sadness for no reason but I, at least wasn't one of them and so many others in a much worse state. Talk about being thankful! So comes the being positive part in face of any adversities.
I'm going to learn to be happy. It's been so long I don't remember how to do that anymore. I've to learn to give a smile that actually reaches my heart and isn't just to put on a show. It's so hard for me to smile at times. It just doesn't reach….there. I came across this quote the other day :
"And once you lose yourself, You have two choices. Find the person you used to be or lose that person completely."
All I've been doing since the past two years is running in circles trying to search for that person and failing miserably at it. All I've been doing is wishing to be like that person again. But I guess I've to stop trying to find my old self now, I've to come in terms with this person I've become. Now I realize I've been in denial all this time. I've been Grieving for the loss of myself. Grieving for the part I lost within myself.. I guess it's finally the time for acceptance. I've to accept this is the normal me now. There is no going back. There is no trying to find my way back. I should be looking forward when all I've been doing is looking back. Taking one step forward and two steps back. Ending up right from where I started, stuck in the same place, in the same state of mind. Guess I've to move on the next stage of grief which is acceptance. Accepting this person I've become.
This year is going to be a work in progress for me. All I can do is hope that this year is going to be better than the one before. And I hope I learn to make most of what I have and become a better person in the process as well.
What about you guys? Any new year resolutions or just gonna go with the flow and deal with whatever as it comes?
Wish you all a Happy New Year, Thank you for being such a great community! I've made such good friends here and came across such kind souls- for which I cannot be any less than grateful. I'm overwhelmed by all the love I've received here from all these amazing people. A Huge Thank you to everyone! Cheers to our continued friendships and being there for each other as a community. Another year, another chapter of life. Here's to being a better version of ourselves! \0/

MONTREAL - The Montreal Alouettes are looking to put a bad game behind them Monday against Winnipeg.
The Blue Bombers hope to just wake up from their nightmare season.
Montreal, which leads the CFL East Division with an 8-5 mark, lost 41-28 in Hamilton in its last outing on Sept. 28. The Alouettes had won five of six before dropping their fifth straight game at Ivor Wynne Stadium, including two this season.
"I think every week we've always had the ability to move on, whether we've had a success or a failure in the past, and for us that's been a good thing," Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo said Sunday. "We've just got to remember that we just can't get used to the fail part and losing games. We've lost some games just based on silly stuff and that's us performing at a level that we should not be playing at and for us we have to be consistent and that's our challenge right now.
"We are in first place but we felt that we've lost some games badly because we weren't playing up to our potential so we just can not allow it to happen. We have five more games to improve on that and it's going to start (Monday)."
Against Winnipeg, Calvillo and the Alouettes will be facing a Grey Cup finalist that has fallen all the way to 3-10.
While he has his own team's struggles to concern himself with, Calvillo was at somewhat of a loss to explain how the Blue Bombers squad that beat Montreal in last year's East final has plummeted so far this season.
"It's hard to say because for me I know that defence is tough," Calvillo said. "They're leading the league, I think, in quarterback sacks and they get to the quarterback. They've had some injuries, just like everybody else in this league, but I know they're playing a lot better with all their DB starters back and for us that's what we're going to have to be concerned about."
The Blue Bombers' defence has been aggressive with 31 sacks, but it has also proved generous against the run, allowing 118.8 rushing yards per game.
"They have a great defence," Alouettes running back Victor Anderson said. "Those guys up front, the secondary, they're smaller guys but they're vicious and they play very good football so we've just got to go out and execute."
Anderson had just seven touches and was held to 15 yards rushing in Hamilton. He averaged 4.5 yards while rushing for 76, including a touchdown, in Montreal's 31-10 win over Toronto on Sept. 23.
The five-foot-nine rookie from the University of Louisville has been able to count on the advice and support of all-star running back Brandon Whitaker, who is out for the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in a 28-17 win over Saskatchewan on Sept. 16.
"He's done a lot to help me and a lot of the other guys, so I'm just taking the opportunity and trying to fill in the most I can," Anderson said. "It's hard to replace such a great back."
Blue Bombers interim head coach Tim Burke won two Grey Cups as Montreal's defensive co-ordinator from 2008-10. He didn't have to concern himself then with defending against Calvillo, who he singled out as the key to Monday's game.
"He's the master and we've got to get him off rhythm somehow, whether it's by getting a pass rush or playing man coverage and making him hold the ball a long time, maybe a couple of new wrinkles that might throw him a little bit," Burke said. "But really that's the biggest key, and then the other thing is offensively. We've got to produce. We've got to come out and get going against their defence and we've got to finish strong too."
Blue Bombers quarterback Buck Pierce suffered a concussion in Winnipeg's last game on a hit by Brandon Isaac in a 29-10 loss to Toronto. He travelled to Montreal but will not dress for the game.
With Pierce sidelined, Burke is going with Joey Elliott to guide the Blue Bombers on Monday, the third different quarterback to start for Winnipeg against the Alouettes this season.
Montreal won the first two meetings this season, including a 41-30 win over Pierce at Percival Molson Stadium on July 6. Alex Brink started for Winnipeg on Aug. 3 in the Blue Bombers' 36-26 loss to the Alouettes at Canad Inns Stadium.
"It's got to be tough for the organization," Elliott said. "It's got to be tough for my teammates for us to step in the huddle, but hopefully with our work ethic and our determination and our practice during the week we gain their confidence.
"That's what you have to try to do as a quarterback. We're a close knit group as quarterbacks. We all work really well together and hopefully everybody sees that so they don't really mind who's in there, but it could be a strain on the whole offence."

Girlsway's Sexting the Teacher is all about sexy schoolgirls who are hot for their teachers and not shy about hitting them up for some lesbian loving.
Gina Valentina, who was recently named 2018 Penthouse Pet of the Year and featured in the Stormy Daniels issue of the magazine, is walking home with her friend and classmate Melissa Moore and gossiping about their teacher, Katie Morgan. The girls have both noticed that Ms. Morgan has been checking out their bodies. Gina suggests that they text her some sexy pics of themselves. Taking photos of each other in lingerie and naked Melissa gets excited, so she makes the first move. Gina quickly reciprocates by pulling Melissa's panties to the side and touching her clit. It feels so warm and inviting that Gina decides to lick it until her friend cums. Gina bends over so that Melissa can pull down her panties and give her some simultaneous rimming and clit stimulation. Melissa's skilled hands and mouth bring Gia to orgasm and she decides to do the same to Melissa for a while. The sexy schoolgirls grind their naked pussies together and make each other cum yet again.
Lily Labeau's friend talks her into skipping photography class so she can attend "the party of the year." Her teacher, Celeste Star, lets her slide with a not entirely believable excuse, but only if she comes over at 7 o'clock the next morning for private tutoring. Lily is hung over, but Ms. Star jolts her awake when she answers the door in nothing but a silky black robe, which she quickly discards for some nude photography. The usual models aren't there, so Ms. Star is going to do it herself. Lily is nervous, but the photos are good and her teacher is proud of how much she has learned. Eventually the level of sexuality crosses a line for Lily, but Ms. Star relaxes her by taking off her shirt for some tickling and shoulder massaging. Ms. Star kisses Lily's back and then her mouth. Once she has eased Lily out of the rest of her clothes, Ms. Star caresses her student's lower lips and starts to taste her. Lily learns all about eating pussy and tribbing—things that she never would've learned if she hadn't needed a private lesson.
Gina and Melissa go to class the day after they sexted Ms. Morgan. They forgot that Gina has a tattoo on her hand that's visible in one of the photos. The girls deny that those are their body parts, but Ms. Morgan tells them that if they want to graduate, they'll produce physical evidence here and now. Soon, the teacher asks the students if they enjoy girl-on-girl. Getting an affirmative answer, she says they need to make up for teasing her by licking her pussy, too. Melissa goes first while Gia kisses Ms. Morgan. The teacher eventually makes them switch places. After several hot configurations in which the woman and the girls lick and kiss each other's bodies, Ms. Morgan ends the disciplinary session by ordering Gina and Melissa to eat and finger her pussy and ass until she cums.
The private tutoring was so educational and fun that Ms. Star invites Lily over for another session, but this time it is Lily's turn to be the model. Now that her teacher has loosened her up and lowered her inhibitions, Lily is happy to pose half nude and tease Ms. Star with some seductive disrobing, posing, and self-touching. When Lily removes her panties and spreads her legs, Ms. Star brings the camera in for an extreme close-up. Finally, Lily admits that she's been trying to seduce her teacher for round two. It wasn't really necessary, of course, because Ms. Star was already into it, but the seduction sure was fun. Ms. Star strips and Lily enjoys making her cum with her tongue. Lily cums while sitting on Ms. Star's face. Then, teacher and student take turns rimming and tribbing. Ms. Star brings one more orgasm out of Lily with her fingers before the student is ready to collapse from blissful exhaustion.
Sexting the Teacher is exclusively streaming on AEBN.

New Report Challenges The Whole 'IP Intensive Industries Are Doing Well Because Of Strong IP' Myth
from the good-to-see deptFor many years we've vocally criticized a very questionable line of arguments made by various lobbyists and (tragically) the US Commerce Department, that if you look at so-called "IP intensive industries" and see that those industries employ lots of people and are often profitable, it therefore means that stronger copyright, patent and trademark laws are good for the economy. There are all sorts of problems with this argument, highlighted simply by the fact that the single largest employment listed in one of these studies for an "IP intensive" industry is grocery stores. It's somewhat comical to believe that grocery stores employ 2.5 million people because of trademark law.
When challenged on this, the US Commerce Department's incredibly weak defense of this kind of argument (i.e., "Steve Jobs had patents, Steve Jobs made cool things, ergo, patents are important to innovation") was certainly troubling.
Thankfully, a new report by Eli Dourado and Ian Robinson at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University does a nice job dismantling most of the claims in these series of reports that suggest that lots of jobs in "IP intensive industries" automatically means "strong intellectual property laws are good." The report starts out by simply highlighting the problem of generally using "jobs" as a proxy for "good for society." That's a fallacy, and often a problematic one for innovation (where disruption may initially destroy a bunch of jobs, but, in the long-term, create many new opportunities).
Perhaps most fundamentally, jobs are not ends in themselves, and counting the number of jobs created is therefore not the best way to evaluate a policy. As Bryan Caplan notes, "Economists have been at war with make-work bias for centuries. [19th-century French economist Frederic] Bastiat ridicules the equation of prosperity with jobs as 'Sisyphism,' after the mythological fully employed Greek who was eternally condemned to roll a boulder up a hill." Economic progress, Bastiat says, is defined by an increasing ratio of output to effort—indeed, economic nirvana is achieved when there is high output and zero labor effort.But of course, the bigger issue, as we've outlined, is the silly argument that these jobs exist because of strict intellectual property laws. Not a single one of these studies has looked at how the jobs change with changes in the law. It simply is ridiculous to naturally assume that most of these jobs (like the grocery store point above) exist because of the current laws.
Lawmakers could create jobs by requiring that construction projects be performed with spoons instead of shovels or tractors. Such a policy, however, would reduce worker productivity and decrease total economic output. Consequently, this spoon mandate would not promote economic progress.
Likewise, some of the jobs created by IP may harm the economy instead of helping it. Suppose IP laws necessitated that every firm hire 10 additional IP lawyers, but otherwise left output unchanged. IP could be said to create millions of additional jobs, but these would be jobs that reduced real output per worker, jobs that moved society further away from economic nirvana. They should be reckoned as economic costs of IP, not economic benefits. If (counterfactually) this were the only effect of IP, then abolition of IP would mean that the effort of the heretofore unproductively employed IP lawyers could be redirected to more productive uses.
As a reductio ad absurdum, consider the blogging "industry." As a matter of law, all authors are automatically, without registration or any other formal notice, bestowed with a copyright in their blog posts. Since the entire output of the blogosphere is copyrighted, under IPUSE's methodology it would qualify as an IP-intensive industry (if it were considered an industry). Nevertheless, it seems clear that copyright protection accounts for at best a tiny sliver of bloggers' output—the vast majority of blogs are accessible without a paid subscription, and many bloggers do not attempt to monetize their posts (with ads, say) at all.On a similar note, for years we've pointed to CCIA's reports that did such a great job highlighting this fallacy by using the identical methodology to define "fair use intensive industries" to show that based on the copyright industry's own bogus methodology, clearly fair use is "more important" than copyright since it employs more people -- and thus, if we were to believe the original reports, then we should clearly expand fair use (massively, since it's so limited today). The whole point of the report was to mock the silly claims about "copyright intensive industries" -- and, amazingly, those who supported one report were horrified by the fair use report, attacking the methodology, without the self-awareness to recognize they were mocking their own preferred methodology.
If some industries resemble blogging—for example, if copyrights are automatically awarded but not relied on, or if patenting is done for primarily defensive purposes, or if trademarks exist but are rarely relied on by consumers—then IPUSE and the other reports that rely on simplistic counts of IP grossly overstate the number of jobs due to intellectual property. For these industries, IP intensity is not a reliable indicator of IP dependence.
As the report also notes, many of these other reports on how "important" IP is assume that intellectual property is the sole incentive for these jobs and related innovations and progress. That's just silly. As the new report notes, there are lots of possible impacts that these studies don't even remotely account for:
As a general matter, intellectual property law can overprotect as well as underprotect. When it overprotects, it creates jobs without a corresponding increase in real output, it creates jobs by destroying other jobs that are not accounted for, and at the margin it accounts for very little of the actual output created by supposedly IP-intensive industries.The report then goes on to explore each of the three key areas -- copyrights, patents and trademarks -- to show why the assumptions underlying many of the reports simply don't hold up under scrutiny. It's a useful addition to counteract the bogus studies that make the bogus correlation argument based on the broadly defined "IP-intensive industries." If I have one complaint about it, it's that the report doesn't go as far as I expected, based on the title: "How Many Jobs Does Intellectual Property Create?" When I started reading the paper, I expected an attempt to actually look for some sort of causal methodology to determine such a figure, rather than just a dismantling of the arguments of those other reports. It's still a useful bit of research and analysis, but the title overpromises a bit.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 (UPI) -- Certain kinds of fish farming, with proper planning and safeguards, can be undertaken with little or no harm to coastal ocean environments, U.S. officials say.
Researchers with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration conducted a study of aquaculture, focusing on environmental effects on water quality, coastal habitats and other marine life.
"We did this study because of concerns that putting marine finfish farms in the coastal ocean could have adverse effects on the environment," James Morris, an ecologist with the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, said. "We found that, in cases where farms are appropriately sited and responsibly managed, impacts to the environment are minimal to non-existent."
Development of regional best-management practices and standardized protocols for environmental monitoring are key needs for aquaculture managers as a aquaculture development increases in the coastal ocean, the researchers said.
The ability to forecast immediate or long-term environmental concerns about aquaculture, such as undertaken in the NOAA study, will provide confidence to coastal managers and the public, officials said.
"This report contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting marine aquaculture as a sustainable source of safe, healthy and local seafood that supports jobs in coastal communities," Sam Rauch, acting assistant administrator for NOAA Fisheries, said.

Actinobac Biomed, Inc., has received a commitment for a second investment of $100,000 from Foundation Venture Capital Group (FVCG) to study the efficacy of the company's lead product, Leukothera, in the treatment of veterinary white blood cell diseases , announced Dr. George F. Heinrich , vice chair and CEO of FVCG.
FVCG had originally invested $500,000 when Actinobac was first established in 2009 to develop pharmaceutical agents for the treatment of hematologic malignancies (leukemias & lymphomas), latent infections (HIV/AIDS & tuberculosis) and autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, type 1 diabetes, Lupus & psoriasis).
Leukothera® is a bacterial toxin that specifically targets and depletes disease related white blood cells (WBC). In laboratory studies to date, malignant and proinflammatory white blood cells have been determined to be more sensitive to Leukothera® than normal white blood cells. Animal studies carried out by Actinobac have shown Leukothera™ to possess significant therapeutic activity.
"We are contracting with Texas A&M Veterinary School to examine the use of Leukothera® for dogs suffering with white blood cell diseases," explained company founder Dr. Scott Kachlany. "Because of biological similarities, the data we obtain from these new studies will be applicable to dogs and support drug development for human applications also."
The latest $100,000 investment will fund proof of concept studies. According to Dr. Kachlany, early results indicate that Actinobac's drug candidate works very well in healthy dogs, using lower doses than previously expected.
"We are excited about Dr. Kachlany's results to date," explained James M. Golubieski , president of Foundation Venture Capital Group, "and are hopeful that Actinobac's work will provide a viable treatment in the not too distant future to increase survival rates for these white blood cell diseases."
Dr. Kachlany, also an associate professor of oral biology, microbiology and molecular genetics at UMDNJ-New Jersey Dental School, discovered the potential therapeutic uses of Leukothera® during the course of his research at the dental school.
"Our goal is to demonstrate that Leukothera® prolongs life and treats disease, in dogs and in humans," he explained.
For more information contact James M. Golubieski , president of Foundation Venture Capital Group, at email@example.com or visit www.actinobac.com and www.foundationventure.com.

Apparently some people are up in arms about the fact that 26-year-old Natasha Hill is taking $5,000 to let the public name her baby. What's so wrong with that? It's a public vote, so she'll just end up with something super popular and generic, right? Like Max or Isabella. (or SOOKIE??)
Unless the voting process heads south and becomes all design by committee — if that happens, the name could ends up being as sloppy as Google's logo. If the public wants a precious baby girl named Alligator Stanley, the public will get a precious baby girl named Alligator Stanley. Of course, as soon as the contest is over and nobody's paying attention anymore, she can always just switch it to whatever she wants (like Isabella or Max).
Really, what's to be annoyed about? This seems like a no-brainer — take the money and run, Natasha and baby Boris*!
*This is obviously my vote, boy or girl.

While we often rant on about crazed measures of infernal combustion or even jet cars around here, multiple hundreds or even thousands of horsepower along with scads of torque won't add up to a side order of beans unless you can actually put it through to the ground.
Racers know this perhaps better than anyone. As a racer who spent a good deal of time behind the wheel of a Porsche 917, John Hotchkis now steers a company that puts horsepower to good use through the design, production, and installation of performance-oriented suspension components. Jalopnik recently got a chance to tour the Hotchkis Sport Suspension shop. We walked away with a better understanding of the feat it is to get ill-handling sixties muscle machines carving corners like modern sports cars.
Stepping beneath the gaping roll-up door, we came face-to-face with a Mini set up for carving — its bulldog stance unmistakable. The Mini in question belonged to Hotchkis General Manager Henry Hancock. Chief Engineer Aaron Ogawa also has a Mini. When Ogawa's not clocking in at Hotchkis, he's out clocking the competition at AutoX events. He recently took home the trophy in SCCA AutoX STX class racing at California Speedway, putting all-wheel drive WRX's and everyone else back on the trailer. Also in-house was a Chevelle and a F-150 Lightning. The Chevelle was in for some suspension tuning, and the Lightning on the rack for a complete suspension upgrade. In another corner sat the bare shell of a '67 Camaro, surrounded by boxes and pallets of goods waiting to be installed.
The Hotchkis crew still gets an enormous amount of business from upgrading old Detroit iron. This for good reason. We were looking over some hiem joints and sway bars on display in the showroom when Hotchkis shared what we already knew but hated to admit, "Even the worst of today's rental cars handle better than sixties muscle." As the previous owner of a '67 Barracuda that came with five-inch wide pizza cutter wheels and drum brakes all around, I can attest to this.
For evidence old muscle takes well to suspension upgrades, we strapped ourselves into a Hotchkis-prepped version of a Jalopnik favorite. On the way over to the manufacturing facility, Hotchkis did his best Steve McQueen on the mean streets of Santa Fe Springs. Flicking the light end of the El Camino around corners here and there brought controlled drift action when summoned. It's important to remember older suspensions were designed for the bias-ply tires that came spooned around those stock, pizza cutter rims. Bolting up wide meats just taxes the original design even further.
Modern design and production has of course narrowed the room for suspension improvement over that of sixties iron, but has not eliminated it entirely. Hotchkis offers packages that improve even some of the best-handling modern cars. The ability to fine-tune suspension modifications for the street or track is another bonus. At lunch Hotchkis recalled shaving a half-second off short-track lap times at Buttonwillow in a Corvette Z06 equipped with a Hotchkis-designed adjustable sway bar. "It would get nervous. It would move around a little bit. You just couldn't apply the power. By stopping the rear roll you could just feel it on turn-in," Hotchkis said.
Hotchkis can also design suspensions from the ground up, and did so for the Foose Coupe when called upon by Chip Foose and George Gaffoglio from Metalcrafters. This year Hotchkis announced the same level of engineering is available even for less star-dappled rides at the Hotchkis Installation Center. "From Camaros and Bimmers to our Chief Engineer's Autocross Mini, we spend most of our off-hours at the racetrack using and proving our own hardware. With the recent addition of the Hotchkis Installation Center, we can now offer our customers the option of having their suspension dialed-in by the same team that designed and built it," Hotchkis said.
What else would you expect from a guy who's driven in the 24 Hours of Lemans and run a Porsche 917 around a racetrack?
