The Lightning have still been playing at a respectable level despite not having Lecavalier in the lineup for about three weeks now. I think once he comes back, they'll be able to better handle the regression in their power play numbers by making up for it with a likely increase in their even strength offense.

The mother of champion boxer Hector "Macho" Camacho will probably decide Saturday whether to remove her son from life support, she told reporters Friday night. "For me, he's not alive," she said. But one of the boxer's sons said his father is alive and "is going to fight until the end." The mother said she will make the final decision on her son's life. Camacho was declared clinically brain dead by a doctor Thursday after a gunman shot him in the face Tuesday in his hometown, Bayamon, Puerto Rico.

This group has no coordinators
The 912 Patriots
Our mission is to protect our Constitution and freedoms. We can do this through education and public awareness regarding issues of the day. With a true grassroots movement with educated individuals on the ground and in communities we can spread the principles of freedom and liberty to those who have forgot what this nation is about. We have reached a moment in time that without action, our constitution and the dream our founders had for The United States will be destroyed. Our founders believed it was destiny that the Constitution of the United States would be the example of freedom and a blessing to the entire human race! The 912 Project is a group of Americans that believes as a Nation of Patriots, Americans must stand together and not fear the Government, instead the Government should fear us, the silent majority. Remember, "We Surround Them!" A movement spreading across the United States with close to one million American citizens involved. We are a local and national group who believe in a non-partisan effort to bring our country back to its founding principles and values. If you agree with at least 7 of the 9 principles, consider joining forces with us to help make a difference in the future of America and our children. We call it The 912 Project because we want all people to act like true Americans who love our country and what it stands for, the way we did on 9/12, the day after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States. The day we all forgot what party or what small difference we had and came together to do what we know in our hearts is the right thing. The way we felt when our Nation was attacked is how we should now feel as our very freedoms and our Constitution which has protected them for so long is also under attack! We have an out of control Government led by both Democrats and Republicans. It is no longer about parties. As Americans we have the right to protest and the right to elect those Representatives who are Statesman not Politicians. Remember a Politician looks forward to the next election, but a Statesman looks forward to the next generation!

Like -- a lot like them a lot he was one of the greatest actors and a great patriot and he was born in winner set Iowa.
You mention that is born right here I think he said water level and they say -- wait a minute John Wayne Gacy was born there and the media made a big deal of that.
I want to get you respond but through this prism I put together some of the mistakes that President Obama has made.
And I want to just remind people some of the things he said over the years.
On this Memorial Day.
Because our nation honors spirits.
Unbroken line of fallen heroes I see many of the -- In the audience here today over the last fifteen months we've traveled.
To every corner of the United States.
Now -- -- fifty.
Seven states I don't know what determines an Austrian Wheeling and dealing maybe -- human christianity -- Corps member -- responded.
The men and women.

Navy corps man.
It's obviously did know the difference between Memorial Day and and veterans day.
An Austrian language that doesn't exist and I would be nice and the president knew that we have fifty states not.
57 -- 58.
But this John -- was born and Iowa.

Well they're certainly can be -- shot ready and clearly he was born in Iowa the point is John Wayne represented patriotism.
And great American values he wasn't was afraid to stand up for the greatness of the United States of America.
That's what we need that's what the American people want.
They want a president who's going to stand up.
For our allies and stand against our enemies they want someone is gonna fight for America and that's why I think my message that has been resonating.
Not only with people in Iowa but with people all across the nation.
Because people recognize that I will do that I have a titanium spine.
And it's time to have a president who's going to do all things.
Big things because we have to turn the economy around so that we can -- job creation in this country and I have the background is a former federal tax lawyer.
And also my husband and I who started a successful small business where job creators.
I'd get it I know how to do this I understand the problem but what's even better.
I know the right solutions to apply so that we can get the economy back on track and create jobs and repeal obamacare and I'm committed to that as president of the United States.
And you know how many states we have and the United States of America.
Fifteen and indeed do you have any clue what a navy corps minutes.

Shortly, thereafter, Karen became an Investigator with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management in Augusta, GA, ultimately relocating her to the Washington, DC, Metropolitan area.

DELANSON — This year, Art Ogsbury's daughters heard him give a blessing before the family's Thanksgiving meal for the first time.
A welder retired from General Electric, Ogsbury had an accident in May that sent him on a medical odyssey. His family worried he wouldn't survive an antibiotic-resistant staph infection this summer and surgery to mend a ruptured aneurysm from a welding accident. He underwent heart surgery just a few weeks ago.

Severus entered his bedroom almost tentatively. He peered inside at first, as though checking to see if Harry was still there. Harry was indeed still there, seated on the edge of Severus's bed, looking around the dimly-lit room. Severus was hardly accustomed to seeing anyone besides himself on his bed. Why had Harry wandered in here? Why had he shown up on Severus's doorstep in the first place? His conversation so far had given away very little in terms of his intentions and Severus didn't believe this was a purely social call. Severus didn't get purely social calls.
He'd considered not letting Harry in at all, but had ultimately relented. Why, he wasn't sure. And as Harry had wandered around his living room, examining things and making inane small talk, Severus had begun to regret the decision. Although Harry hadn't actually been doing anything wrong except hovering uncertainly and filling the quiet space with his hesitant, jumpy presence. It seemed like there was something inside him that had wanted to leap out of his mouth the moment Severus had opened the front door. To be honest, Severus was curious what it could be, so when he left to make tea and Harry had quietly wandered into his bedroom, he'd repressed the urge to stop the boy. He got so few visitors and morbid curiosity compelled him to let this bizarre scene play out.
Harry stood when he saw Severus approaching. "This is exactly as I imagined it would be, you know," he said with an awkward smile. "Your bedroom. It's functional. A little dreary. No personal touches to speak of–"
"Why are you here?" Severus cut him off.
"Er, you already asked me that."
"Yes, you did already answer that, but 'we have unfinished business' isn't good enough. It's also rather ominous."
"I'm not here to finish what Voldemort failed to, if that's what you're worried about."
Severus's mouth twitched and his gaze flickered downward for a moment.
"Don't tell me his name still gets to you."
Severus arched an eyebrow. "You can't tell me that his name doesn't get to you."
"Well, granted, I'm not standing here because life after the war has been all roses."
Severus said nothing and waited for Harry to continue.
"I've tried to go on. I've tried to live a normal life. Ginny finally got fed up with my distance and my obsessing and I had to let her go."
Ignoring Snape's sardonicism, Harry continued, "I've become a bit preoccupied with certain things, things that happened and… things I should've said. I haven't been able to move on. Have you?"
Severus licked his lips impatiently and considered the question. "No. But I never expected to have to."
"Well… I suppose I didn't either."
"I don't see how I can help you."
"Maybe you can't. But after seeing all your memories–"
"Things you shouldn't have seen seeing as I survived."
"Well, yes, but I didn't know you were going to live. And neither did you. You wanted me to see. The fact that you survived shouldn't change that."
Severus glanced away. "It makes things a bit complicated."
Harry shook his head. "They don't have to be complicated. I'm glad I finally know the whole truth. It's about time after all these years."
Severus looked at him again, into his eyes and was surprised to find a rather peaceful look on his face. He'd never seen Harry look like this, certainly not ever when the boy was looking at him. Harry's calm, friendly green eyes made Severus ache. He averted his gaze again.
"I was only doing my duty," said Severus. "It had nothing to do with you personally."
"I know. I don't pretend that you went through all that for me, but that doesn't mean you don't feel things for me."
Severus said nothing.
"You know if I could have avoided seeing certain things, I would have."
Still, Severus said nothing.
"It must've been hard for you all those years, looking at my face and seeing her all mixed up with him."
Severus's mouth twitched.
"No wonder you hated me."
Severus took a deep breath and met his eyes again. "Yes, well, this conversation isn't doing much to change that."
Harry seemed to ignore that. "You loved her and despised him. You looked at me and could see both of them. You were torn. I understand that. I looked at you and, not only did I see a man I couldn't stand, but I also saw a connection to something I wanted desperately to know. You knew them. And I could never ask you anything about them because you were such a bitter, resentful son of a bitch. But that's over now. Things are different now. And maybe we can both get a little of what we want."
Severus froze and just stared at him. Surely, he couldn't mean… "What is it you think I want, Potter?"
"Harry. Call me Harry now."
"Answer my question. You saw… everything, did you not?"
"In your memories? Yes, I think so."
"And you've come here to give me what I want," Snape said incredulously.
Harry nodded.
Severus turned away from him and headed for the door. "I think I've heard enough. Whatever it is you think is going to happen here, I'm sorry, but–" Severus stopped when he felt Harry's hand on his arm. He turned back to face Harry.
"Look at me," said Harry. "What do you see?"
Severus's nostrils flared with anger. He said in a soft, controlled voice, "I see a needy little boy hiding inside the body of a man." He wrenched his arm out of Harry's grasp and went for the door again, but Harry sidestepped in front of him, slipping between him and the door and shut and locked it behind him. Severus found himself standing practically chest-to-chest with Harry. "Get… out… of my way."
Harry shook his head. "How much of her do you see?" he whispered.
Severus was nearly shaking now and he could feel his cheeks heating up. "You haven't changed, Potter. You're still an attention-seeking brat who couldn't care less about the feelings of others so long as he gets his moment in the spotlight."
Harry shook his head again. "You're wrong."
"I am not wrong. I see nothing of her in you. All I see is the arrogance of the fool she chose to be with."
Severus expected to see more evidence of Harry's rage, the rage he remembered from Harry's teenage years, but all he saw was Harry swallow and take a slow breath; barely a ripple in a calm sea.
"How much of her do you see?" Harry repeated. "Is it enough?"
"Enough for what?"
"Enough to make you hurt a little bit when you look into my eyes now."
"My wand, Mr. Potter, is a mere second away from my hand."
"Grab it if you like," said Harry calmly. "I'm unarmed."
Severus frowned. "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"No, but I didn't see the need to bring it. I didn't come here to fight. And if you can look me in the eye and tell me you feel nothing, after all those years at school with me, looking into eyes just like hers and aching for her, if you can honestly tell me there's nothing left inside you, then… then I'll leave quietly."
Severus stared at him. Harry stared back with a strange mixture of that old, familiar defiance and something else that Severus couldn't even fathom at the moment. In his mind he saw little Harry seated in his classroom for the first time, looking up at him earnestly as Severus accused him, he saw Harry growing into a young, angry man, so much like his father, and yet on occasion, when Harry didn't know he was looking, when Harry's guard was down, Severus saw the soft sensitivity he equated so strongly with Lily, just a little something in the boy's eyes that went straight to his heart, but then his and Harry's eyes would meet and all the softness would dissolve and there was James, swaggering and smug, and all Severus wanted to do was cold cock the boy for everything his father had ever done.
Severus had thought so many horrible, disgusting things, had fantasised about grabbing the boy and pushing him up against a cold, castle wall and forcing his mouth open with a bruising kiss, he'd thought about Harry with him in his bed, of Harry on his back, giving himself to Severus and moaning like he knew Lily would have, and he'd thought about taking Harry the way he would have taken James, making Harry scream bloody murder with the force of his thrusts.
Harry had seen all of that in Severus's memories because Snape had been certain he, himself, was as sure as dead the day Voldemort had tried to kill him, the day Harry had knelt by his body and looked into his eyes and for just a moment had given Lily back to him, and all Severus had wanted to do was reach out and touch her just once more.
But it hadn't been Lily. It had only been the boy, but in that moment Harry had been enough, because he had been there, at Severus's side, and for once had looked directly at Severus the way his mother always had.
The way he was looking at Severus right now.
Harry's face seemed to have moved closer. Severus shut his eyes and turned his own face slightly away.
"I think it might be good for both of us," Harry whispered against his cheek.
"What do you think your beloved father would say if he knew what you were proposing?"
"He is most likely spinning in his grave. I know. But something isn't right with me and I need to fix it. Otherwise I'll never be able to move on."
Harry pressed his lips to Severus's face. Severus inhaled slowly, shame at his own weakness rising inside him quickly. He should be stronger than this. He should have stepped away from Harry long before now. He should have slapped Harry's face the moment he realised what Harry was suggesting, but instead he remained where he was, teetering on the edge of surrender.
He felt Harry's hands on his waist and something in him jumped into action to take control. He grabbed Harry's hands and pinned them to the door above his head with lightning speed. Their eyes met again.
What would James say if he could see this now, if he knew what Severus had been thinking about his boy all this time? Severus suppressed a smile. Wherever James was, Severus hoped he was watching. Maybe he could give James exactly what he'd had coming to him even if James wasn't actually there.
"Take your clothes off," Severus said as he released Harry's hands, turned and stepped away from him. He was still trembling, but he hoped it didn't show. He paced across the room, shaky fingers working to unfasten his cuffs. He could hear Harry moving around behind him. He hazarded a glance at him; Harry had already removed his shoes, and his jacket had been discarded on a nearby chair. His shirt quickly followed and when he began unfastening his jeans, he raised his face to look at Severus. He held the gaze as he pushed the rest of his clothes down. As he straightened back up, his jeans dropped to the floor and he stepped out of them. Severus's eyes travelled down his body. He was the very model of a former Quidditch Seeker; flat-stomached, slender and firm. And he was already fully erect. Well, Severus was relieved that he, himself, wasn't the only one who was.
Severus managed to get both his cuffs unbuttoned, rolled up his sleeves and turned to face Harry completely. When he'd asked Harry to disrobe, he'd wondered if Harry would comply. Now he could see that Harry was absolutely dead serious. "Come to me," he instructed. Harry strode across the room to him and stood patiently before him, awaiting further instruction. He seemed almost too cooperative and it made Severus suspicious.
"Your parents, and most of the people you've ever known, wouldn't like this one bit."
"I know."
Severus hesitated. He looked down for a moment, not at Harry's body, but at the floor. "As much as I hated your father, I don't think I can have sex with his son."
Harry stepped closer, so close that Severus could feel his breath when he spoke. "I'm twenty-five years old. I'm not a child."
Severus met his eyes again. "I swore to protect you. Taking advantage of you wasn't part of the deal."
"Deal's over. It's done. You did your duty. You don't owe anyone anything now. And," Harry took hold of Severus's hand and brought it to his full erection, wrapping the trembling fingers around it, "it wouldn't be taking advantage."
Severus looked down at what he was holding. He felt frozen to the spot. He opened his mouth to protest, but Harry cut him off. "No. No more talking." Harry's free hand came up and touched Severus's chest. Harry took a breath and exhaled the words, "I need to feel. And so do you." He pressed his body against Severus's and Severus had to force himself not to move, not to respond, not to press his erection against Harry's more firmly. Harry put his lips to Severus's ear and whispered, "I need you to help me feel again."
"I don't know what you expect me to do."
Harry took both of Severus's hands and put them on his waist. He then slipped his arms around Severus's neck. "I want you to do what you've always wanted to."
Harry hugged him and Severus felt Harry's lips brush his ear, then Harry's tongue flick at his earlobe and then Harry's mouth suck that earlobe in. Almost involuntarily, Severus pulled Harry more snugly against himself, and God help him, having Harry in his arms felt very right. Harry was suckling his ear and kissing his neck and starting to breathe harder and his skin was heating beneath Severus's hands and it was almost impossible not to respond to him.
Severus found his mouth and latched on. There was the slight prickle of stubble around Harry's mouth, but his lips were as soft and smooth as Severus had imagined Lily's would've been. He wondered if Lily would've tasted the same. He pushed Harry back toward the bed and went down with him, on top of him and Harry instantly spread his legs for him.
"Your glasses," said Severus.
"I like to keep them on during," Harry breathed. "Besides, I look more like him this way, don't I?"
Severus knew he meant James.
"You've imagined this moment so many times. Not only with me, but also with him, having him naked and hard for you, giving you the upper hand. Isn't that what you wanted?"
Severus swallowed. No sense in lying; Harry had already seen everything. "Yes."
"What did you want him to be for you?"
Harry's body was continually undulating beneath his. Severus couldn't help but thrust his pelvis against his. "I wanted him to be my bitch."
"What else?"
"I… I wanted him on his knees. I wanted him to beg for my cock."
A soft little smile touched Harry's lips. "You wanted to shove it down his throat and make him gag on it, didn't you?"
Severus made an almost anguished noise as Harry began to rock his hips in time with his own. "Yes."
"Oh, yes," Harry whispered. He slipped a hand in between them and began to tug Severus's trousers open. Severus lifted up a bit to allow this. "What else? Tell me."
"I wanted to hold him by his hair and fuck his mouth," Severus growled. "I wanted to make him choke on my come."
"Oh, yes, you did. Is that what you wanted to do to me? Hm?"
"Yes," Severus sighed as Harry's hand found its way inside his pants and warm fingers wrapped around his shaft.
"When? Tell me exactly when."
"Sixth year. When you became such a mouthy little cunt. I wanted to bend you over my desk and fuck you unconscious."
Harry moaned, his hand very busy inside Severus's trousers, stroking and feeling around. Severus could barely stand it anymore. If the boy wanted his cock, he could surely have it.
Severus got up on his knees. His wrenched Harry's hand out of his trousers and moved up his body until his cock was right at Harry's face. He didn't wait for Harry to take it himself. He took hold of Harry's hair, held him in place and pushed right into his mouth. He leaned right over Harry and used his free hand to brace himself on the mattress. With his knees spread wide he began to thrust, still gripping Harry's hair, keeping Harry's head firmly in place.
He couldn't let himself completely lose control as he had in his fantasies, keeping in mind that the boy did actually need to breathe. But Harry was hardly protesting. He kept his lips and tongue pressed firmly around the shaft and he laid his hands on Severus's thighs. Harry was terribly good at this, despite his lack of control in the situation. Severus vaguely wondered where he'd gotten the practice, but he supposed Harry's school days hadn't been entirely filled with running rampant, breaking rules and being generally obnoxious. Soon Severus released Harry's hair so he could lean on both his hands and he put all his energy into rolling his hips, pushing in and out of Harry's mouth. Harry was making the most delicious noises and the way his voice vibrated around Severus's shaft was pure bliss. Severus couldn't keep from coming now if he wanted to. His body quivered and then he was spurting down Harry's throat.
Harry went silent, but maintained his grip on Severus's cock. Severus's thrusts slowed until the sensation of friction against Harry's mouth became too much to bear and he had to stop moving entirely. He swung a leg over Harry to dismount, pulling his cock from Harry's mouth and making his body shudder with aftershocks. He dropped down onto his side, spent and a little bit embarrassed. He lay there with his eyes closed. He didn't want to look at Harry just then, afraid of what he might see in the boy's eyes.
He felt Harry moving next to him and then felt Harry cuddle up against him. He finally opened his eyes and found green ones watching him.
"What else?" Harry whispered.
"What?" Severus panted.
"What else did you want to do to him? Or to me."
Severus rolled onto his back and shut his eyes. "No more."
"What about Lily?"
Severus's eyes popped open. "No. We're not discussing that."
"Why not? You wanted her, didn't you?"
Severus just stared at the ceiling, utterly silent. Finally he said, "I don't want her like this. Not by proxy."
Harry seemed to ignore this. He mounted Severus, straddled him and sat proudly atop him, his bare bottom right against Severus's spent cock. He adjusted his glasses and then reached for one of Severus's hands and brought it to his own still stiff prick again.
"Touch me," he whispered.
Severus watched as his own hand began to stroke Harry. Harry removed his glasses and Severus looked up into his eyes again.
"Do I look enough like her?" he asked again as he set his glasses aside.
"Harry, don't–"
Harry guided Severus's hand, made it stroke faster. "You wanted to fuck her. I know you did."
"Don't be so vulgar," Severus growled.
"But that is what you wanted." Harry moaned as his chest began rising and falling faster. He closed his eyes and let himself go completely, being more and more vocal. Severus could only stare and keep his hand moving quickly over Harry's erection. His own cock was quickly coming back to life. Harry was moaning louder and louder, and then he threw his head back and his body jerked and strings of his pearly seed were landing across Severus's shirt. Severus was breathing nearly as hard as Harry and he was riveted. The saviour of the wizarding world was, of his own free will, writhing helplessly on top of him. Severus could scarcely believe it, but he was rock-hard again and pure instinct took over.
Harry had barely finished coming before Severus was rolling them both over, laying Harry on his back and looming over him. Harry was still crying out with pleasure as Severus retrieved his wand from the bedside table and summoned a bottle of cooking oil from the kitchen. Severus was trembling with need and he nearly let the bottle slip from his fingers when he caught it. He covered his fingers with oil and began opening Harry up, one finger at a time.
"You've done this before," Severus said breathlessly. "You've had cock in your mouth and up your arse before, I can tell."
Harry smiled dazedly up at him, his orgasm having left him weak and lazy, though he managed to hold his legs aloft and spread wide so Severus could get at him properly. "Yes," he replied coyly.
"Who? Who broke you in?"
Harry licked his lips sensuously. "Sirius."
Severus froze and stared at him. "What?"
"When we were boys, he ran away from home and came to stay with me and my parents."
Severus caught on; Harry was pretending to be James now. Although something in the way Harry had answered so easily made Severus wonder. "I see. What did the two of you do together?"
Harry groaned as Severus's fingers stretched him. "He slept in my room with me and at night he'd crawl into bed with me and we'd touch each other and I let him do as he pleased. I let him stick his dick wherever he liked. I was preparing myself for you, for when I finally got you alone, Severus. I put on a good show in front of the others, but it's you I wanted."
Severus's heart was pounding in his ears. He knew Harry was only telling him what the boy thought he wanted to hear, but it was working. He slicked his cock with oil and wasted little time. He put Harry's ankles on his shoulders and positioned himself at Harry's entrance. He pushed Harry's legs far back as he leaned over him and put his hands on the bed on either side of him.
"Beg me for it," he said. "Tell me you want it."
"Give it to me," Harry whispered, looking directly into his eyes. "Give me your cock, Sev."
Severus paused, his brow furrowing. "Don't call me that."
"I want it, Sev," Harry insisted. "I've always wanted it."
Damn, if Harry's eyes didn't look just like hers had. It wasn't supposed to be like this. He was supposed to have been with her, but instead all he got was this hybrid of her and the man he'd hated most in the world. It was sick and it was all Severus could do to keep from ramming right into Harry, ripping him open and making him scream. But he couldn't do that. Not to Lily's child and not even to James's, and despite his misgivings it was Lily he tried to picture as he began to push into Harry.
Harry's face scrunched up and he groaned in discomfort, but only for a short while. His body quickly adjusted and soon Severus's body was flush with his.
"Do it," Harry whispered. "Fuck me."
Severus began to move and it was the most incredible thing he'd ever felt. He tried to think of Lily, but found that he didn't want to. His mind recoiled from the thought; Lily had been perfect and this act was not. Even the thought of James taking it up the arse for him, moaning beneath him like a bitch in heat, wasn't at all appealing in this moment. This was something else; filthier than Lily could ever be in his mind, but nowhere near as angry as fucking James would be. This was Harry. Somewhere in between.
"Fuck me harder," Harry begged, even though he was already grunting from the force of the thrusts. Severus happily obliged, and he slipped his shoulders out from under Harry's legs so he could lie on top of him and bring his face down to Harry's. Harry's eyes were closed, so Severus could stare at him freely, and as he did he began to feel a confusing sense of ownership. Well, he had nearly given his life for this boy. He'd risked everything to protect him. Harry's parents, and nearly every other parental figure Harry had ever known, were dead, and Harry had shown up on Severus's doorstep claiming Severus was the only answer to his chronic numbness. The two of them were intrinsically linked and Harry knew it. Severus's confusion slowly began to dissolve.
"You belong to me," he whispered, riding Harry faster. He took hold of Harry's throat and held onto it, just firmly enough to make it feel like he was claiming what was his. Harry's eyes, dazed with lust, opened and locked with his. "Do you hear me, Harry? You're mine. I've earned you."
Harry nodded. "Yes," he said, the word coming out as barely a whisper. There seemed to be something in Harry's eyes, some deep understanding. Severus wasn't sure what to make of it, but now was hardly the time for questions, for Harry's eyes rolled up in his head and his body shuddered hard. Severus had barely registered the fact that Harry was coming again before his own climax exploded inside him and erupted into Harry's body.
Severus could hear Harry's voice crying out, but it seemed distant through the buzzing in his head. If he didn't know better, he would've said Harry was sobbing, his voice tearing up and out of his throat as though something was leaving his body. Perhaps this was the catharsis Harry had been wanting. Then the buzzing began to fade and Harry finally lowered his legs to the bed, forcing Severus out of him. They both grunted softly as that happened and Severus slid off him and dropped down onto his side next to Harry, who didn't seem able to move just yet and lay there blinking up at the ceiling until he finally spoke.
"Perhaps I was a bit misguided in my attempt to take up with Ginny."
Severus wasn't sure what to say to that. He waited for Harry to continue.
"I love her. I always will. But I didn't belong with her. Not like that." Harry rolled onto his side to face Severus. "Did you mean what you said a moment ago? About owning me."
Severus resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "That didn't mean anything, I was just… caught up in the moment."
"It was more than that. It was written all over your face. You do feel like you own me. And maybe rightfully so."
"Harry, don't–"
"Shh," Harry hushed him as he leaned in and pressed his lips to Severus's. Severus only allowed this for a moment, however, before he pulled back and spoke.
"What were you feeling near the end there?"
"I'm not sure. Why?"
"Perhaps I'm wrong, but it looked as though you were experiencing something."
Harry gave him a little half smile. "Did it?"
"Yes, and, might I add, you were making an awful lot of noise."
Harry smiled even more. "I'm sorry. I haven't made noises like that in bed in quite a while." Severus sighed. "I can't deny that this has been… intriguing."
"I can pretend to be them for you anytime you want. We can call it therapy." Harry grinned, but Severus didn't.
"You're not your father, Harry; I might actually have something like… affection for you," Severus grudgingly admitted. "And you could never be… her. I wouldn't want you to be."
Harry shook his head as though to tell him it was okay. "I know how you felt about her."
Severus examined his face for a long, quiet moment. He hadn't ever wanted anyone but Lily, but she was dead and Harry was here and maybe he was enough. "Something in between," he whispered as he reached up to touch Harry's face.
"Nothing." Severus replied, and he drew Harry into his arms. His heart was pounding again, this time from… what? Fear? Anticipation? Hope? Someone was in his bed, someone who wanted to be there. He'd have to get used to this.

Before the archivists of Art and Framing Gallery begin a project, they slip on pairs of cotton gloves. By sheathing their hands, they guard against fingerprints and finger-paints. Their dedication to museum-quality workmanship shines through each project, whether it's a same-day framing job or a standard three- to seven-day order.
In Art and Framing Gallery's showrooms, walls display more than 3,000 frame samples and acre upon acre of mats. Ready-made framed mirrors and artwork also share this space, which connects to in-house workshops. Here, craftsmen cut custom glass and piece together each project.

When British Colonel Roger Morris and his wife stumbled upon a piece of unclaimed Manhattan hilltop, they knew it would be the ideal spot for their summer home. Built in 1765, the 8,500-square foot Morris-Jumel Mansion—as it's known today—was the centerpiece of an estate that extends more than 130 acres from the Harlem to the Hudson River. Loyal to the British crown, Morris left America during the Revolution; in the fall of 1776, General George Washington used the home as headquarters during the Battle of Harlem Heights.
Today, the mansion offers guided tours of its historic property. After becoming president, Washington returned on July 10, 1790, to dine with cabinet members that included future presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson; you can visit the dining room where they ate together. More than 40 years later, in 1833, Aaron Burr got married to Madame Eliza Jumel—the widow of the mansion's second namesake owner, Stephen Jumel—right in the parlor of this estate.
Besides tours, the mansion now hosts rotating exhibits that display everything from period costumes to the axe Washington used to floss his wooden teeth. There are also events throughout the year, from classical and jazz concerts to wine tastings and, once, a lively debate between Burr and Alexander Hamilton scholars.

VALHALLA, N.Y. – The Southern Westchester BOCES' Center for Career Services teamed up with classic car club "Rock 'n Rods NY" to put on its first annual auto show while also advertising the school's campus on Sunday afternoon.
"Our auto guys got together and they decided they really wanted to showcase what we do here," said Linda Suarez, who is the director of career services. "So we were really looking for a draw and someone came up with the idea for an auto show."
The show featured cars of all kinds from vintage Pontiac GTO's to new Mustangs lining the front road of the campus. The garages were also open to the public to give visitors a look at what kind of work students are doing up at the school.
"This is really what we want to do, we want to show that were working with the communities that this is what our trade programs are about," Suarez said. "We integrate our highly trained students back into the community."
The school provides career training for students in grades nine through 12 in fields like culinary, cosmetology, automobile work, construction, graphic arts and others.
"A lot of our programs lead to New York State licenses where they can walk out of here and they're immediately employed," Suarez said.
With dozens of classic cars polished and on display, locals walked up and down the campus to get a view of vehicles of all the different eras.
"I think it's great, the number of cars far exceeded what I thought was going to be here," said Joe Wooley, a board member of the Southern Westchester BOCES. "It gets people up here to see the tech center to see what the kids do up here and quite frankly for the kids to see what's possible out there."
Many described the event as a win-win situation as it was a free show for the public that provided entertainment while also giving people a look inside the school.
"It definitely gives the BOCES an opportunity to showcase the campus because the intent was to have the car show which is one of our big programs here, auto body, anything to do with auto mechanics they teach the students," said Steve Tibbetts, assistant superintendent for business.

Snow and Ice-covered roads can pose danger to Michigan drivers
GAYLORD, MI -- As the road crews continue cleaning up, Michigan State Police remind you to take it slow.
Michigan State Police Trooper Jamie Voss says with slippery conditions, give yourself three times as much distance from the car in front of you as normal.
He also says four-wheel drive and front-wheel drive vehicles aren't clear from losing control, and he advises drivers even though the speed limit is 70 miles an hour, ease up for your safety.
"Make sure you're not going to drive your vehicle beyond your own capabilities, know what you're able to do in your vehicle. If you feel like your wheels are slipping, let off your acceleration, and don't continue giving it gas while driving," said Tpr. Voss.
He says if you do lose control, the worst thing to do is slam your breaks.
You can correct it by steering toward the direction you want to go without touching the gas or breaks.

Cotton Mather/Oasis
Oh--You Mean Those Beatles
Cotton Mather: Kontiki (Deluxe Edition) (Star Apple Kingdom)
Pieced together in 1997 from impulsively conceived, doggedly recorded scraps of DAT and four-track by Austin mastermind Robert Harrison and a Memphis tape wizard who loved how Big Star the band was, Cotton Mather's second album caught the attention of some British Beatles fanatics d/b/a Oasis, who brought them over to open and even generated some U.K. sales. While allowing his vocal resemblance to "John Lennon with a Southern accent and a head cold," Harrison's extensive notes don't cite the Beatles much even though "My Before and After" resembles "Ticket to Ride" more than its supposed inspiration "(Reach Out) I'll Be There" and "Private Ruth" echoes "For No One" straight up. Harrison is no more a genius than Noel Gallagher, so though the lyrics aren't spaced-out gibberish or obvious pap, they're unequal to the music‑-which definitely beats, for instance, the last three songs on the first Big Star album, and even more remarkable, kind of makes you appreciate Oasis. (N.B.: I'm recommending the Deluxe because it's new and much cheaper, not because I expect ever to listen to its alternates and new ones for anything except the research I presume is now complete.) B PLUS
Oasis: Stop the Clocks (Sony BMG '06)
One of the many things I never got about this band was where the Beatles were. Where was the ebullience, the wit, the harmonies, God just the singing, and, uh, the songwriting? Cotton Mather made me understand that when Oasis say they love the Beatles they really mean they love the post-Help!, pre-Sgt. Pepper Beatles. Since that span encompasses Rubber Soul and Revolver, many would say tally ho, but (a) not me 'cause I love the Beatles start to finish and (b) only if you're writing songs as good as, uh, "We Can Work It Out." Instead Oasis, meaning loudmouth bro Noel Gallagher, write songs that resemble "We Can Work It Out" in thickened texture and momentum but not depth or charm, then add arena size in the swagger of the drums and the bigged-up vocals themselves. This band-selected best-of‑-two discs lasting 87 minutes, like an old-fashioned double-LP except it's only 18 tracks‑-capture their sonic moment as fully as any freelance music historian needs. A 2010 package repeats 11 of these songs and adds 16 others‑-too many, I say. Also, it omits the opening "Rock 'n' Roll Star." If ever there were guys whose message to the world is summed up by an opener called "Rock 'n' Roll Star," it's these bigheads. B PLUS
'44% of men say their female partners always have orgasms, when they have sex. 22% of women say they always have orgasms, when they have sex.'
This has always puzzled me: Is an orgasm cumming, or is it something else entirely (movies often depict an orgasm, to be an other-worldly thing.) If it is, indeed, what females refer to as cumming, I don't think it's hard, to make a girl cum (but, hay, that's just me--haha). Are we including squirting here? Stop me, when you've had enough. Anyone eating their cereal yet? I think I've mistaken this for a lad's forum!'Now, if we're talking time taken for the whole shebang, 7-9 is NOT acceptable.'
Well, if you have this attitude...! (Isn't the average penis size 6 inches [at least in Britain]? Why am I debating penises? Not like half an inch matters!)
Edit (moar penis stuff):
'A review published in the 2007 issue of BJU International showed the average erect penis length, to be 14–16 cm (5.5–6.3 in), and girth to be 12–13 cm (4.7–5.1 in). The paper compared results, of twelve studies conducted on different populations in several countries.'
uncool to whom?
EDIT: Thanks for the tip on those Hoodoo Rhythm Devils (snazzy cover!) and Five Dollar Shoes albums. I had vaguely heard of the Devils before, but from the name had figured them to be some 90s swing revival band.

A wave of cheers and scoffs is reverberating on Twitter today as an ex-Marine's letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) goes viral. In a note labeled the "No ma'am" letter, former U.S. Marine Joshua Boston says he will not register his weapons, even if an assault weapons ban passes: "I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve," he says. The letter, sent last week, is trending today as Feinstein's proposal approaches. Twitter user @bigrcb6969 said he would "nominate him 4 the next president" while @howiegoldfarb says "crazies like him" are why an assault weapons ban is needed. [Source]

Zygomatico-orbital intra-arterial melphalan infusion for intraocular retinoblastoma

Retinoblastoma is a rare and curable malignancy affecting the pediatric population. For advanced stage intraocular retinoblastoma, enucleation remains the primary treatment modality, although the use of laser photocoagulation, cryotherapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are frequently used, particularly in the setting of bilateral disease. Intravenous chemotherapy is the long-standing method of delivery, but local administration (subtenon, intravitreal or intra-arterial) is gaining in popularity because of the reduced side effects related to systemic administration. Of these newer methods, intra-arterial infusion has demonstrated technical feasibility, few procedural complications and robust tumor response. A case is described where a collateral supply to the affected ophthalmic artery was via the zygomatico-orbital branch of the ipsilateral superficial temporal artery. Melphalan infusion was performed via this pathway without incident.
Competing interests None.

Pope Francis had lunch Saturday with his predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, in what the Vatican said was the first such encounter in the history of the Roman Catholic Church.
Francis, who was inaugurated as the new head of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics on Tuesday, has made some changes since taking the helm -- most notably by adopting a simpler, personal style and calling for the church to focus on serving the poor and needy.
The new pontiff was flown to Castel Gandolfo by helicopter for the lunch date.
He was greeted at the helipad by Benedict XVI, and the pair exchanged an embrace, Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said. They then rode in a car together to the Castel Gandolfo residence.
Both men wore simple white cassocks, but only Francis wore the white papal mantle and sash over his robe.
The two then prayed together side-by-side in a chapel before meeting in a library at the residence for 45 minutes of talks ahead of lunch.
Video footage released by the Vatican after Francis had returned to Vatican City showed the two men warmly clasping hands as they greeted each other.
Benedict, who walked with the aid of a stick, looked frail and moved slowly as they entered the chapel to kneel together.
Relations between Francis and his predecessor were warm and cordial, said Lombardi. Francis presented Benedict with the gift of a painting he said reminded him of the former pontiff's gifts to the church.
Their meeting was "a moment of profound and elevated communion," Lombardi told Vatican Radio.
He suggested that Benedict would almost certainly have repeated the promise of obedience to the new pope that he gave in his final meeting with the cardinals before stepping down.
The presence of both a pope and a living former pontiff has raised concerns over the potential for split loyalties within the church.
Seen, but not heard
Lombardi declined to tell reporters what the pair discussed in the library, saying only that they were private talks.
Vatican observers believe that one item on the agenda was the contents of a 300-page dossier presented by three cardinals to Benedict in the wake of the Vatileaks scandal.
Benedict passed on the report -- ordered after leaks last year revealed claims of corruption within the Vatican hierarchy -- to his successor.
Italian media reports suggested the cardinals had uncovered a series of scandals involving sex, money and power, but the Vatican press office sought to tamp down what it called a rash of "often unverified, unverifiable or completely false news stories."
The pair may also have talked about possible appointments by Francis. The people he chooses to hold key roles may give an indication of his priorities for the church at a time when some are calling for reform and modernization of its hierarchy.
They have spoken several times by telephone since Francis was elected 10 days ago, but this was their first face-to-face meeting, the Vatican said.
Crowds who had gathered in the small town's central square waved and clapped as the white papal helicopter twice passed overhead before landing. Some chanted "Francesco, Francesco" -- the pope's name in Italian.

Fantastic Four
Unreleased to the general public and infamous for its poor quality within geek circles, this Roger Corman adaptation of the Marvel Comics supergroup is an interesting cult item that ranks up there with the dismal Captain America feature and the cheap Hulk TV movies. The story of the film goes back to the late '80s when Marvel Comics were licensing out their characters for mild profit in a time when the comic industry was failing. Enter a German company called Neue Constantin and producer Bernd Eichinger, who held the rights for almost four years before their contract was about to run out. In order to retain the rights to future remake/options and get out of paying a five-million-dollar fee, Neue were forced to put something to film, so they made a deal with Roger Corman's New Horizons studio to make the film quick and on the cheap for $1.5 million. Once the film was finished, Eichinger bought out Corman's interest, then turned around and sold it to 20th Century Fox, who were then prepping a $50 million adaptation with director Chris Columbus. The film then dove into virtual obscurity, save for the comic convention bootlegs and later through the internet. The storyline follows the basic framework of the comic, with the exception of a few minor details, including the introduction of a new villain, The Jeweler, who directly becomes responsible for the team's mishap in space and takes liberally from another one of the comic's famous villains, The Mole Man. In reference to its underground popularity, Corman now regards it as his most profitable film that never saw release, while Marvel president Avi Arad reportedly burned Fox's only print. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

When Lisa (Katy Selverstone) announces her intention to see other men, Drew (Drew Carey) reciprocrates by dating his hardbitten, hard-living hairstylist Soux (played with unbridled ferocity by Jamie Lee Curtis). This proves to be a big-time blunder, not only because Soux somehow manages to imperil Drew's life and limb at every turn, but also because she becomes close friends with Drew's eternal enemy Mimi (Kathy Kinney). Reuniting with Lisa, Drew tries to figure out a way that he and Lisa can get around the "no dating" rule at their workplace--while Soux's demands on Drew's time become more and more threatening...and potentially lethal! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

(The official cast list for this episode identifies several of the former secretaries by their now-famous character flaws: the "mimicker", the "slow speaker", the "Hitler", the "wrestler," and on into the night!) ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Replacement
Xander (Nicholas Brendon) -- the only member of the Scooby Gang without supernatural abilities of his own -- takes the spotlight when an encounter with a demon named Toth (Michael Bailey Smith) splits him into two separate versions of himself, one with all the good qualities and the other with all the bad. The inept Xander soon discovers the existence of his enhanced twin but is dismayed to watch his double succeeding in all the areas where he usually fails. The new, improved Xander not only lands a promotion at his construction job, but also signs the lease on a fabulous new apartment to please girlfriend Anya (Emma Caulfield), who is feeling vulnerable now that she's no longer an immortal demon. When the happy couple learn of the bumbling doppelganger Xander, Anya wants to keep him around as a sex toy while shiny happy Xander wants to kill him. Luckily, Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) and Willow (Alyson Hannigan) figure out that if one Xander dies, both will. While Willow works to break Toth's spell, Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) tracks down and kills the demon. Soon things are back to normal enough that Riley (Marc Blucas) has time for a heart-to-heart with Xander, in which he reveals that although he's in love with Buffy, he doesn't believe she loves him back. Originally broadcast October 10, 2000, on the WB network, "The Replacement" marked episode 81 of the cult-favorite series. Kelly Donovan, Nicholas Brendon's real-life twin, portrays the alternate Xander; although their last name is Schulz, the thespian brothers use only their first and middle names professionally. ~ Brian J.

Otherworldly villains are on the loose again, and it's up to Earth's interstellar police force to bring them to justice in this sequel to the sci-fi comedy blockbuster Men in Black. Agent Jay (Will Smith) has become a high-ranking member of the Men in Black, the secret government task force designed to deal with unruly visitors from other worlds, while his former cohort, Agent Kay (Tommy Lee Jones), had his memory wiped clean and now lives a simple but contented life as a mailman. However, an especially nasty alien threat has reared its not-so-ugly head; Serleena (Lara Flynn Boyle) is a shape-shifting Kylothian alien who is in pursuit of another escaped visitor who holds the key to powers that would allow her to destroy the world. Making Serleena all the more dangerous is the fact she's taken on the appearance of a lingerie model, making her irresistible to most men. When the rampaging Serleena takes control of the MIB offices, Jay is forced to turn to the only man who can help him save the world -- the former Agent Kay. After restoring Kay's memory, the two remaining Men in Black set out to conquer Serleena with a motley band of friendly aliens, including a handful of worm creatures and a talking dog named Frank (voice of Tim Blaney). Jay, meanwhile, has his head turned by Laura (Rosario Dawson), an attractive waitress who was an unwitting witness to an alien attack. Men in Black 2 also features Rip Torn, Tony Shalhoub, David Cross, Patrick Warburton, and Johnny Knoxville. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Jane Doe: The Wrong Face
Jane Doe:The Wrong Face is one of several Hallmark Channel TV-movies starring Lea Thompson as Simi Valley housewife and mom Kathy Davis (Lea Thompson), who unbeknownst to her neighbors occasionally moonlights as an undercover special agent and "problem solver" for the NSA. Kathy is summoned by her NSA superior Frank Darnell (Joe Penny) to tackle the mysterious kidnapping of Caroline Raphaelson (Roxanna Zal), wife of crusading prosecutor Phil Raphaelson (John Rubinstein). No one ever saw anyone entering or leaving the room in the health spa from which Caroline, who'd been undergoing cosmetic surgery, was snatched. Still, the fact remains that a ransom demand has been made, said demand being that Caroline's husband arrange for the release of Ray Jackson (Michael Bailey Smith), a shady construction executive being held on a money-laundering rap. Complicating Kathy's investigation is Jackson's staunch insistence that he is innocent and that he completely disapproves of the kidnapping, and the subsequent disappearance of the 16-year-old girl who'd impersonated Caroline while the abduction was allegedly taking place. Jane Doe: The Wrong Face) was originally telecast on June 19, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A naïve group of National Guard trainees embark on a routine training mission in the New Mexico desert, only to find themselves face to face with a murderous band of cannibalistic mutants in prolific music video director Martin Weisz's sequel to the successful 2006 remake. An isolated desert research camp has been mysteriously abandoned, and now it's up to an elite unit of soldiers to uncover the truth about the scientists who vanished without a trace. Their attention soon diverted by a distress signal emitting from a distant mountain range, the squadron quickly regroups and sets out to investigate. Unbeknownst to the soldiers, however, is the fact that these are the very same hills where the Carter family recently fell prey to a flesh-eating pack of hideously deformed mutants. As the ranks of the cavalry unit steadily begin to dwindle, it soon becomes obvious that their guns provide little defense from an evil driven by hunger to commit the ultimate crime against humanity. Original Hills Have Eyes and Hills Have Eyes, Part 2 writer/director Wes Craven teams with son Jonathan to script this grim and unforgiving tale of man versus mutant. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Montini wins Red Grange Classic, qualifies for national tournament in Alabama
LOMBARD – As the Red Grange Classic started, Montini football coach Chris Andriano said 7-on-7 football doesn't mean anything when it comes to real football.
Andriano probably hasn't changed his mind, but maybe he's hoping he's wrong after the Broncos won the 24-team tournament loaded with the best programs in the state.
Montini, sparked by offensive MVP Tyler Tumpane and defensive MVP Nile Sykes, won the two-day tournament with a 10-2 record. The title means the Broncos qualified for the National Select 7-on-7 Championships from July 24 to 26 in Hoover, Ala.

Lauderdale (1) and later Toronto (2) agreements whereby the data producers make the data available and state their intent to publish analyses, the data users ask permission to use the prepublication data and cite the appropriate source, and the journals and reviewers make sure that articles are published following the guidelines. Release to GenBank and Ensembl and similar repositories does not constitute publication. Please contact us if you wish to use these sequences in published analyses.
