Depleted Mercury downed by Sky
PHOENIX (AP) — Shay Murphy scored 20 of her career-high 22 points in the first half and the Chicago Sky beat the short-handed Phoenix Mercury 86-55 on Sunday to stay a game behind New York for the fourth and final playoff spot in the East with three games to play.
Epiphanny Prince added 15 points and four assists, and Swin Cash had 12 points and eight rebounds for Chicago. The Sky have won four of their last six games to improve to 13-18.
Murphy scored seven straight points during a 12-0 run late in the second quarter as Chicago went up 55-26 at the break. The Mercury never got closer than 21 in the second half. It was the largest margin of victory in Sky franchise history, surpassing a 27-point win over San Antonio on July 14, 2010.
Charde Houston had 15 points, four rebounds and three assists for Phoenix (7-24).
With three injured starters out, the Mercury used only seven players — three rookies — for the second straight game.
The Sky scored 27 points off 19 Mercury turnovers.
Murphy, who came into the game averaging 7.8 points, made 4 of 5 3-pointers in the first half.
Chicago will visit Seattle on Tuesday and finish the season at home with games against third-place Atlanta and last-place Washington.
Courtney Vandersloot had 14 points and three assist for the Sky.
Olympic gold medalist Diana Taurasi, who has missed 23 games this season, sat out for the third straight game along with the league's second-leading scorer, DeWanna Bonner, who has a sore back.
Chicago scored 21 points off 13 Phoenix first-half turnovers in building a 55-26 lead at the break. It was the most points Chicago has scored in a half this season. Chicago ran off the final seven points of the first quarter to take a 29-15 after one.

Progress ~ Crowdsourcing SRW Alpha
# Posted on March 1st, 2014 04:51 PM by Gideon ZhiOkay, so, it´s no secret that Super Robot Wars Alpha has a staggeringly huge amount of text. While it only took speed-demon Tyria a year to translate, the text is frankly really messy and wasn´t really suitable for prime-time. As many of you will recall, I started hunting around for an editor shortly thereafter, and settled on Antialias, who I recruited on 4chan´s /m/ board. In the last several years he´s managed to edit about a third of the story dialog text (if we consider duplicate strings to be distinct, anyway) but work has been slow in large part because the script is so dauntingly large.
Some time ago, we decided that it would be a good idea to get multiple workers on the script, but had no real way to manage that. Well, yesterday Antialias set up a Perforce repository on Assembla, and we´re ready to put together a small team. Antialias himself will be handling the vetting process, in large part to to minimize style conflicts. Style conflict is one of the big reasons I didn´t want multiple editors in the first place, but given the size of things, better a little awkwardness in this matter than no translation at all.
Post edit: Things have been moving along at quite a decent clip, so we're not looking for any more editors at the moment. Thanks to everyone who contributed, and expect more news soonish.
Sorry it´s taking so long!

Major Release ~ Super Robot Wars 2... twofer! Happy non-denominational holiday! Super Robot Wars 2
# Posted on December 24th, 2013 06:47 AM by Gideon ZhiAs Banpresto celebrates the announcement of SRW Z3 and a high-definition remake of the very first SRW, so too does Aeon Genesis. Launching today is the English version of Super Robot Wars 2 for the NES, with a heaping plateful of extras! Included is the previously-advertised optional music persistence patch as well as a patch that will completely remove the hack should you decide you don´t like it. But wait, that´s not all! Thanks to RHDN music guru optomon, we´ve replaced the awkwardly muzaky Tobe! Gundam theme song with Gallant Char, the track used in for UC units in SRW3, EX, and 4. As with music persistence, this patch is entirely optional, comes with a removal patch, and can be applied with any combination of the translation and music persistence patch, or it can just be applied on its own!
As if that weren´t enough, all this is releasing alongside a similarly-complete translation for the officially-emulated version of Super Robot Wars 2 on the GameBoy Advance!! I´ve managed to insert the NES translation into the Famicom Mini version of the game that was released in limited quantities as a promotional contest item. It´s probably inferior to the NES version, but hey, more options! Good stuff. Music Persistence and Gallant Char are both fully functional with the FamiMini version of the game as well, and are included as optional patches (and removal patches) with the translation. Now, this hasn´t been tested extensively, and might be prone to weird issues that may or may not be caused by the translation. It´s really hard to tell, and honestly it was thrown together pretty quickly as a what-if effort. Please report issues and findings on The Pantheon.

It´s a neat strategy/RPG for the Game Gear, and it´s the sequel to Crystal Warriors if you´re familiar with that. It´s a dramatic improvement over its predecessor and is easily one of the prettiest games on the platform. Enjoy!

Major Release ~ Ys 5, At Long Last Ys V - Kefin, Lost City of Sand
# Posted on November 28th, 2013 12:01 AM by Gideon ZhiI must admit, I am at a loss for words writing this. Ys 5 has been a trial in so many ways and it has been in the works for so long that I don´t feel like I could do it justice in a one- or two-paragraph blurb. As such, I will let the translation speak for itself: it is without issue (that I know of), and includes some fairly substantial under-the-hood modifications to data storage and menu structures. Despite how bumpy the road has been, or perhaps because of it, I am intensely proud of this release. Enjoy!
As a further note, earlier this week XSeed Games released Memories of Celceta for the PS Vita, and their Ys releases on Steam are currently on sale. If you enjoy Ys 5 and haven´t bought any other titles in the series, please give XSeed your business. In celebration I´ve updated the translation of Ys 4 Mask of the Sun, of which Memories of Celceta is a remake. This update brings some of the terminology in line with XSeed´s version and includes various other fixes to the text, including the nasty glitchy too-long strings that erased bits of the frame.
Lastly, I´ve updated TwinBee Rainbow Bell Adventure with a minor fix to the Battle mode screen.
I´m going to attempt to keep up a bi-weekly release schedule for the foreseeable future, but I don´t like to make any hard-and-fast promises for something like this unless I´ve already got something very nearly ready for release. I think I can manage it for at least two more, though!
In any case, Ys 5 is now available. Enjoy!

Major Release ~ TwinBee Rainbow Bell Adventure Launches TwinBee Rainbow Bell Adventure
# Posted on November 14th, 2013 04:20 PM by Gideon ZhiToday sees the release of TwinBee Rainbow Bell Adventure for the SNES! Translation is 100% complete, so enjoy! I´m not going to claim that this is the best platformer on the SNES or even that it´s one of the best, as it frankly can´t hold a candle to Mario, Metroid, Megaman X or Front Mission Gun Hazard (yes, I went there!) But it´s still a damn good game, and if you´re itching for a cute but challenging platformer with plenty of secrets to find, here´s a great chance to have a good scratch.
I´m currently planning another release for two weeks from today. Fingers crossed!

Announcement ~ Announcing TwinBee, Plus Other News TwinBee Rainbow Bell Adventure
# Posted on November 10th, 2013 11:21 AM by Gideon ZhiFor those of you who´ve been following me on Twitter this won´t exactly be news, but I´m finally announcing a translation project for TwinBee Rainbow Bell Adventure. It´s a cute little platformer for the SNES with a bit of Sonic, a bit of Rocket Knight, and a bit of Mario World all thrown into a blender. Casual fans may note that this did in fact come out in PAL regions; diehard fans will note that said PAL release was heavily stripped-down. The translation restores all that content - the dialog, the endings, the secret exits and twisty map, and the battery-backed saves. It´s almost done, too; unless something goes seriously wrong, expect it within the next week or so.
In other news, SRW2´s betatest progresses well. We´ve hit one major issue: a buffer overflow with the unit screen which I´m not quite sure how to fix just yet. But things are otherwise fairly clean, so hopefully that´ll be out by the end of the year.
Also, hacking for Ys 5 has been completed as well. The edit progresses apace, and we´re hoping to have the translation out on Thanksgiving Day. Of course, given how beastly the project has been, things could always go badly awry in the meantime. Keep your fingers crossed!

Progress ~ Ys 5 Can Now Be Beaten Ys V - Kefin, Lost City of Sand
# Posted on October 30th, 2013 05:44 PM by Gideon ZhiBack in May, I quietly discovered several reasons that Ys 5´s translation was crashing the game. I counted at least 60 such bugs, all of which caused the game to die in horrible ways, and despite having those fixed for his most recent playthrough in the last couple of weeks Deuce still encountered over a dozen more crashes, several of which required modification to compressed assembly code, which is really nasty business. Regardless, the game can now be beaten without it crashing, and as sad as it may sound this is a massive step forward for the project.
Unfortunately, this is not to say that the game is done, or even close. The text still needs to be edited, there is still a large amount of menu work that needs to be done, and some of the game´s visual effects are broken. Examples of the broken stuff will be found in my twitter gallery, but the game´s gallery page has been updated with 23 fresh screenshots of functional text.
This is one of a few projects I´d like to have done by the end of the year. Due to a variety of circumstances (including a job hunt) I´m not sure if that´s going to be possible, but it´d certainly be nice!

Announcement ~ Welcoming SRW2 Back Into the Fold Super Robot Wars 2
# Posted on October 4th, 2013 07:18 AM by Gideon ZhiOver the years I can think of exactly three projects I´ve ever completely dropped - that is, three projects I removed from the website entirely. One of those was the Japanese version of Castlevania 2: Simon´s Quest, which is now being done by these fine folk here. The second was Granhistoria, an odd little RPG published by Banpresto on the Super Famicom, but I´m not going to be talking about Granhistoria... at least, not today. Today I´m announcing the triumphant return of the Super Robot Wars 2 translation.
I´ve honestly been poking at SRW2 on and off for quite some time. Several years back I was given a hack to help with some extra text space, though I don´t believe this ever found its way into the current build of the translation. I´d redumped the game´s script at around that time and would mention it offhand to people who might be interested, but it was never really a priority.
So last February I re-redumped the script and gave it to TheMajinZenki, who was responsible for the JoJo´s Bizarre Adventure and Royal Stone text translations. (He and I have a few other things brewing by the way, but nothing I´m really willing to talk too much about just yet.) He returned the script to me a month later, and I immediately set to work trying to get it back into the game - only to discover that one of the text banks was badly over-size and that the routine printing said text was shared by a number of the larger graphic elements of the game, so my usual trickery would not work. It was back to the old slash-and-burn tactics of pruning it bit-by-bit until it finally fit into its bank. This is thankless work, and at the time I was busy with my last semester of higher education and still working a full-time job, so SRW2 was not a priority. I also wanted to see if I could manage some kind of workaround for the text, but everything was coming up blank.
Well, this past Monday I sat down with the file and pruned it ´til it fit. I´m not proud of some of the cuts I had to make, but the perfect is the enemy of the good as the saying goes and SRW2 looks pretty good as it is. Then over the next two days I got the rest of the text inserted and hacked up a couple of routines, and now the project is very nearly done; all that really remains is for someone to come in and clean up Zenki´s script a bit and we´ll be ready for testing.
So! Hopefully this will be out soon. I´ve been poking a couple of hornets´ nests in the hopes of getting an editor to come chasing after the script with all the fervor of an angry hive but so far nobody´s really bitten. We´ll see how things progress from here.
Incidentally, those of you who´ve played both older and newer SRWs will appreciate a fairly small hack I performed on SRW2 to get the robots´ battle theme music to stay after combat scenes end. This will be provided with the patch as an optional accessory, and as a bonus it doesn´t even need the translation - if you prefer playing the game in Japanese for whatever reason, the music patch will still work. I´ll be providing a patch to reverse the hack as well.

Progress ~ Major Progress on Royal Stone Royal Stone
# Posted on April 25th, 2013 04:20 PM by Gideon ZhiJust dropping a quick word about Royal Stone´s recent dramatic progress. In the last few weeks TheMajinZenki, who you might know as the translator for the recent JoJo´s patch, has been tearing through the game´s script. All of the text unrelated to the actual progression of the story has been inserted, though admittedly only about 90% of it works correctly at the moment. He´s also translated roughly the first two thirds of the main story dialog; I´ve edited and inserted about half of that. I´ve also done a huge pile of work on the technical aspects of the project, including cracking the compression the game uses for its introduction and its combat menus, as well as the sprite data it uses for pause menus. The game is currently playable with only minor issues through Round 5, and all this in the space of a couple of weeks!
I´ve taken 24 screenshots, some of which you may recognize but most of which are new. With a little luck I should have more news for you soon!

Major Release ~ JoJo´s Bizarre SNES Translation JoJo´s Bizarre Adventure
# Posted on April 13th, 2013 10:24 PM by Gideon ZhiA week late, admittedly. Sorry about that, but school kind of got in the way, and a few nasty unexpected issues crept up during the playtest. It should be all fixed now, though!
For the uninitiated, this is an RPG based on Stardust Crusaders (no relation), the third arc of JoJo´s Bizarre Adventure. It´s a reasonably okay game, not great but not bad either. If you´re a fan of the source material, you´ll probably get the most appreciation out of it. Enjoy!

Salt Lake Express announced late last year it would begin twice-daily runs between Salt Lake City and Moab, Monticello and Blanding. Officials of the Salt Lake City-based firm said the service would operate 365 days a year beginning last month.
However, a company spokeswoman said the additional routes are not being added because the funding has been withheld. Salt Lake Express won a federal grant for $1.5 million over three years to help establish new ridership on the route, company representative Kathy Pope told Moab City Council members during a January meeting.
Kevin Kitchen of the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) confirmed the new service is not happening, at least for now.
"That's been put on hold," he said. "The company could not meet ADA requirements, and that's part of the requirements for the federal transit dollars."
The federal money was to be funneled through UDOT to the bus company. Salt Lake Express won the contract, and the grant, after UDOT released a request for proposals (RFP).
However, Kitchen told The Times-Independent this week that the original RFP did not require every bus in the fleet to be ADA compliant. After the RFP was issued, he said, federal officials made that mandatory to get funding.
"A host of ADA regulations are interpreted differently by different folks," Kitchen said, adding that UDOT will have to issue a revised RFP. "We hope to have a provider in place by the end of the summer."
Pope said Salt Lake Express offered to provide wheelchair-equipped buses for trips on which passengers requested them. She said there are approximately two wheelchair requests per month on the company's existing routes, and six of the firm's 65 vehicles are ADA compliant.
But the Federal Transit Authority, a branch of the U.S. Department of Transportation, said that wasn't good enough, according to Pope.
"They wouldn't allow it and there were no exclusions," she said. "It is a shame. If I had several wheelchair requests a week it would be different, but I don't."
Despite the fact that the new ADA interpretation will increase costs, Pope said Salt Lake Express plans to equip all of its buses with necessary equipment and respond to the new RFP, which has just been released.
"I counted on having busy-season income," she said. "Now we are probably going to be into July or August until the award is made."
The routes Pope described to Moab City Council members included a stop at Salt Lake International Airport. She said the price for a one-way ticket between Moab and Salt Lake City would be $38, with an additional $5 fee to reach the airport.
Salt Lake Express had planned to use a 16-passenger van, although 45-passenger vehicles were available if more passengers made reservations, Pope told the city council. All of the company's buses are equipped to pull a trailer to carry bicycles or other items, she said.
Salt Lake Express has its primary routes in northern Utah and southern Idaho. Pope told the council it has been in business for 14 years and transported 156,000 passengers during 2011.

The host Cavaliers needed a rally to force overtime before coming away with a 76-72 victory on Thursday night. Gaffney also won its game at the tournament.
You win some and you lose some, and then there are those rare yet joyous occasions when you slip away with one, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.
"The wrong team won the game," Dorman coach Thomas Ryan said in the aftermath of his team's 76-72 comeback win against Daniel in overtime to close out Thursday's first round of the Upward Classic.
Tournament host Dorman plays at 8:30 tonight against North Cobb (Kennesaw, Ga.). The Warriors defeated Rock Hill 57-51.
"I'm real proud of our guys over the last five or six minutes with how they continued to believe," Ryan said. "Give Daniel and coach (Ben) Touchberry credit because they really outplayed us in every phase. We won't win many playing like that. We weren't executing and I thought we were selfish, but it does show a little bit of character when we had to change the tempo and makes some plays getting things out of transition and we were able to do that."
Dorman senior point guard Maurice Daniels was equally as wide-eyed in assessing the win, saying, "I don't want to call it a little embarrassing, but at the same time we've got to play better basketball on our home court in our tournament."
Dorman trailed 58-46 with 5:45 remaining when Daniels and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside sank 3-pointers before a dunk in traffic by Quantez Brown and a converted old-fashioned three-point play by Kavon Dover cut it to 60-59 with 3:03 left.
Arcega-Whiteside hit a scoop in the lane to tie it at 64 with about a minute left, but neither team could score the winner down the stretch, including a pair of missed free throws by Daniel. Daniel led 72-70 with 1:10 left in overtime before Daniels scored on a drive and then hit a pair of game-clinching free throws with 9.5 seconds to go.
"You work hard and live for those moments when you play basketball," Daniels said.
The Lions turned the ball over during their final possession without getting off a shot.
"We were kind of helter-skelter there and very fortunate that the ball got knocked away and they didn't get a shot off at the end," Ryan said.
Daniels helped guide his offense out of its early funk and finished with a team-high 23 points while Brown had 14, Dover 13 and Arcega-Whiteside 11. Daniel's Justin Dotson scored 36 on the strength of seven 3-pointers.
"The first half everything was just me, me, me on our team, but once we put team back in it that's how we pulled it off," Daniels said. "I really wanted to win and tried to put the team on my back, but everybody did what they're supposed to and when you get a complete team win like that it's the best."
Tournament look
Gaffney advanced in the winner's division in Bracket II with a 68-62 victory over Effingham County (Springfield, Ga.) while Spartanburg dropped into the loser's division in Bracket I after being defeated 56-46 by Peachtree Ridge (Suwanee, Ga.). Gaffney next plays at 7 p.m. on Friday against Newberry while Spartanburg plays Jupiter, Fla. at 10 a.m. Friday.

I was pretty upset that the large was so small. I actually had to re-order it in a 2XL in order for it to fit! As for the art work, it is absolutely beautiful! I was proud to say that I was the only person I saw at the Ed Sheeran concert that was wearing that shirt and I got quite a few compliments! They told me in order to get a refund for the first shirt, I could send photographic proof that I had destroyed it, rather than shipping it back. I would've loved to have gotten my $35 refunded but I just couldn't bring myself to cut it up so I now have a shirt I can wear and one that's way too small. I'm sort of bummed about that but I am happy with the design of the shirt!

Compare cheap flights to Seoul
When is the cheapest time to fly to Seoul?
Things to do in Seoul
South Korea's Seoul is a bustling town that blends tradition and technology. You'll see shopping markets on one side and old city gates in another. It's home to Buddhist temples, palaces, and nature trails, but also skyscrapers, exciting nightclubs, and many Korean pop stars like Psy. With so many to see and do, lots of travellers fly to Seoul.
Starting with tradition, ride the subway and make your way to the iconic Gyeongbokgung. Being the biggest and most beautiful palace in Seoul, you'll find many spots for photo ops. Visit all five palaces to learn more about Korean history, and to see more historic sites. And you should bring an extra battery or a power bank.
For a mix of the old and new, hop on a bus to see the popular south and east city gates - Namdaemun and Dongdaemun. They're also close to two of Korea's largest and most popular markets. Just stroll from either gate to reach Namdaemun or Dongdaemun Market and shop! We recommend Dongdaemun for first-time travellers since it's easier to reach and shops here prefer selling to tourists. Need more convincing? Review both markets with Saranghae Korea.
If you're in Seoul, you have to spend a day in Gangnam. There's the Seoul Arts Centre for culture seekers, Lotte World for theme parks fans, and COEX Mall for shopaholics. Want to party Gangnam style? Experience the ultimate Korean nightlife with The Hungry Partier's list of the best clubs and rage until sunrise!
Add a few more stops to your trip. Get a bird's eye view of the city at N Seoul Tower, be one with nature at Bukhansan National Park, and eat your fill of Korean food. You have literally hundreds reasons to fly to Seoul.
What You Should Know
The best times to visit Seoul are from March to May (spring) and September to November (fall). Expect lovely weather during spring and be welcomed by budding trees and the scent of blooming flower, while fall is enjoyably cold and is low season for tourists. Even better, flights and hotels are cheaper in fall!

Incoming 1Ls / Protocol if you change your mind about an Intent to Enroll?« on: March 11, 2014, 01:43:28 PM »
Is there an accepted procedure if you change your mind about having accepted a law school's scholarship offer? For instance, if law school X offers a scholarship with a reply deadline that comes before you can visit law school Y (a school that also is high on your list), is it OK to send law school X the Intent to Enroll form and then later withdraw if you change your mind because you prefer law school Y once you've seen it? This is a sticky situation, because otherwise you either have to stick with law school X without having seen Y or give up the scholarship from law school X because the deadline is too early to make a fully informed decision (after April 1 but before other law school visits). Does it look bad to do this? Do other law schools require that you withdraw if you've accepted at one? I know you can ask for a decision extension but this letter made it clear they weren't interested in extending their deadline. Thanks for any guidance1

Pets Pets Pets
It was supposed to be a simple fourth anniversary of Edgar Afghan Poe's deliverance from evil. Maybe a walk in the park and later sharing a steak with his canine siblings, but no…. Edgar and Halle, his Afghan Hound partner in crime came up with an odiferous way to mark the occasion.
"Let the good times roll" for lack of a better name. And roll they did. On Sunday morning August 12, exactly four years since Edgar came to stay with us after being airlifted by Afghan Hound Rescue from the crazy New Mexico hoarder who crammed 67 Afghans and 25 parrots into a tiny house, both my hairy hounds decided to commemorate Edgar's "Got Ya" Day* by rolling repeatedly in either "eau de renard" or "eau de raton laveur" which their long snozzes joyfully discovered in the yard.
You may be wondering if they stumbled on fancy French perfume. Not a chance. Afghans would never roll in Chanel #5. Nor would they dab it behind their silky ear fringes. Instead, they found the droppings of a wildlife intruder. Something enticing, such as souvenirs from a red fox (which has repopulated on LI) or a raccoon, attracted both full-coated goons who kept flopping themselves down, nose first, in their smelly treasure trove until they were coated in a sticky stink. A westerly wind sent all of Cleveland a whiff of the dirty duo, but folks in Ohio didn't have to clean up the mess. I got the privilege of doing so before breakfast.
It's times like this that I wish I were a Beagle maniac. Shorthaired dogs are so "wash and wear." You spray them with the hose, or dump a warm bucket over them. Then towel them off, and they dry in a jiffy during the summer. I gave two Last Hope shorthaired pups from West Virginia tub baths last week and was amazed to see the water bead off them in the sun. Drying took minutes, whereas an Afghan cleanup is a laborious process. A full grooming takes a few hours. Spraying water or conditioner on this mess would actually make brushing out the gunk more difficult, so we relied on the grooming table and an assortment of tools- two pin brushes, two slickers, three de-matting rakes and lots of elbow grease.
When and how do dogs roll in malodorous matter? Some say that the behavior is a throw back to wolf ancestry. According to Wolf Behavior 101 online: "Scent rolling is the act of pressing the body against a strong-smelling object or scent. This behavior usually begins with the wolf pushing a cheek against the object, and then sliding on it until the side of the chest has cleared the object. The wolf will likely stand and repeat the process several times on each side of the body.
Wolves commonly perform this behavior with any strong or unique-smelling object within their territory, such as a smelly carcass (food), urine or feces from another animal outside the pack, or any other pungent odor encountered that is not a regular scent within their territory."
This is precisely the wiggle worm dance that Edgar performed as if he were under a spell, but nothing on the grass was visible to his furious human audience.
August 15, 2012, AMITYVILLE RECORD • 9
Usually my dogs are in the woods when they get the urge to rock n' roll (probably on top of something dead) but it is easier to stop them in the act when they are on leash.
Why do dogs scent roll? Again Wolf Behavior 101 postulates: "For wolves, the answer is simple: olfactory camouflage. We believe wolves are essentially transferring the scent of the different odor to their bodies so when hunting their prey may not smell wolf, when in close proximity of the hunting pack. They may be able to gain closer access to their prey. Another theory for evolution of scent rolling is to transfer the scent of the rolling wolf onto the object chosen, thus "marking" it as an item within their territory." You wonder if some breeds, especially ancient ones like sight hounds are more apt to perform this strange, rudimentary ritual.
Whenever I brought an Afghan home for the first time, the newcomer would attempt to scent roll on our first walk as if he were trying to welcome himself to the neighborhood. Whether masking their own scent or claiming the objectionable odor as part of their territory, it's odd that any dog with a nose so much more powerful than ours would enjoy soaking up stink like a sponge. Doesn't the awful smell bother them more than it bothers us?
There is a legend that Afghan puppies are born with the scent of jasmine in honor of a kind Persian princess, and that some hounds retain the haunting odor for the rest of their life. Tell me. Where was that Afghan jasmine scent this morning when I needed it most?

Masterson throws 4 hitless innings in Tribe's win
GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Justin Masterson dominated as he did last season for the Cleveland Indians. This time, he got plenty of run support.
Masterson pitched four hitless innings and the Indians got 17 hits to beat the Chicago White Sox 12-3 Thursday.
Jose Lopez hit a three-run homer for Cleveland and Shelley Duncan had a two-run shot, his third home run of the spring.
"I knew from Day 1 that he would make things interesting," Indians manager Manny Acta said of Lopez, a non-roster invitee who is hitting .529 (9 of 17). "Not too long ago he was an All-Star in this league. He's in a lot better shape and gives us that right-hand bat that can play first, second or third. He looks very good right now."
A.J. Pierzynski hit a solo homer for Chicago, which was without first baseman Adam Dunn, a late scratch from the lineup with a stiff neck.
"Dunn probably won't be in there tomorrow, either," Chicago manager Robin Ventura said.
Masterson faced the minimum 12 batters, striking out four. His only walk was immediately erased on a double play when shortstop Jason Donald made a backhand stab of a sharp grounder hit by Gordon Beckham to end the third.
"Always nice to see defense like that," said Masterson, who lowered his spring ERA from 14.54 to 7.56. "Guys made plays behind me."
It also was nice to get run support. Cleveland scored two or fewer runs in 11 of Masterson's 33 starts a year ago. During an 11-start stretch from May 1 through June 25, he went 0-6 with a 3.34 ERA. Cleveland totaled only 22 runs in those games.
The right-hander was in command throughout and looked ready for the first opening-day start of his career.
"Maybe it was a little too good," Masterson said. "It wasn't perfect, but I was around the zone all day and it is always good when things go well."
Masterson mainly uses a fastball and slider, but worked on off-speed pitches.
"I mixed and matched a lot," he said. "Things like back-to-back changeups followed by another change. Usually my quota is like two a game. I threw maybe a couple handful."
White Sox starter Dyland Axelrod gave up three hits and one run over three innings. Zach Stewart allowed one earned run over two innings and then five Chicago pitchers combined to give up 11 hits and nine runs over three innings.
"Stewart and `Axe' did great," Ventura said. "Then we tried to get everybody in there and you saw the result."
Russ Canzler had three hits, Michael Brantley a two-run double and Ryan Spilborghs a pair of two-out RBI hits for the Indians.
NOTES: Cleveland optioned LHP Scott Barnes and OFs Thomas Neal and Nick Weglarz to Triple-A Columbus and RHP Danny Salazar to Class A Carolina. … LHP Kelvin De La Cruz was sold back to Cleveland by Texas, who purchased him Feb. 21. … Cleveland's opener April 5 vs. Toronto is sold out. … White Sox starter Phillip Humber gave up two homers and three runs over three innings in a 4-3 `B' game loss to Seattle. … Duncan leads Cleveland with three homers and 10 RBIs. … Cleveland LHP Rafael Perez, who has yet to appear in a game due to a sore shoulder, threw a simulated game, as did non-roster invitee RHP Robinson Tejada, who has a sore calf.

The National Journal today reports that Max Baucus is losing staff at a rapid pace. How this exodus bears on the odds of a Baucus re-election in 2014 is anybody's guess.
But we know how ordinary tax-paying citizens are faring.
His chief-of-staff has announced that he's leaving to take a job with a "strategic intelligence firm." Strategic intelligence firms are companies that use all sorts of channels, and sometimes espionage-like techniques, to get valuable information for which Wall Street investors will pay a king's ransom. This is not "insider information" per se; it's all legal, due to shady loopholes in the law. And one such type of "intelligence" is the advance notice, beloved by hedge funds and other Wall Street bigwigs, of how Congress might act on a matter under consideration. Someone with inside knowledge of how a vote is going to turn out, or whether an amendment will live or die, or even what type of language will be inserted into a bill, can sell this information to an investor who can then trade on the information (sell certain defense contractor stocks, for example, if it looks like Congress is about to vote to cut funding for fighter jets). And "intelligence firms" have made an industry out of gathering this type of up-to-the-minute information on bill status. 60 Minutes did an excellent piece on this scam, and you should watch it. We don't know for certain that Max's chief-of-staff will be doing this type of stuff, but it's hard to imagine that he won't be. Its not lobbying, either. It's not asking anything of congress other than information.
And another top aide, Baucus's tax expert on the Finance Committee who shuattled back and forth between Congress and the private sector for many years, is going private once again. Don't be surprised if he ends up at a company that has benefited handsomely from tax breaks given out by the finance committee over the years.
It's important to understand that this profit-making careerism has enormous negative repercussions for average Americans. Tax breaks for major corporations (the chief currency for revolving door specialists) come at the expense of ordinary taxpayers, who must make up the difference to fund government. Similarly, if you are a person of ordinary means and own stock in a company, any advance notice about some decision that your elected representative might take that will affect the price of your stock should be as available to you as it is to an investment banker who hires snoops to troll around Congress.

Mandelson puts reassuring arm around small firms
Hopes to give 'backbone of economy' government leg-up
Comeback kid Lord Peter Mandelson will tell MPs later today that he is attempting to speed up the release of £1bn of European Investment Bank money for small businesses.
The government has also pledged to pay small businesses within 10 days by working closely with NHS trusts in England, local authorities and other public sector employers.
It said that regional agencies that spend around £750m annually, today have signed up to this target.
Mandelson, who is the newly appointed biz secretary, is also expected to ask banks to go easy on beleaguered firms.
"Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. We know they are worried about what is happening – and we know we must do all we can to help them through these difficult times," he said.
"Our builders, traders and manufacturers need steady cashflow to remain resilient. This is why we in government have agreed to pay our suppliers as soon as possible – and our target is less than ten days.
"We are looking at other ways the government can help and give the lead.
"Smaller companies need to be able to borrow if they are going to survive and thrive when we see the economy improve."
Unsurprisingly, the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) welcomed the move.
"Increased regulation can impact the growth potential of small businesses so a postponement of changes to flexible working will provide respite for businesses," said FSB national chairman John Wright.
"We are also pleased with the government's proposal to pay bills to small businesses within ten days. To this end we have also written to local authorities urging them to undertake similar measures and to pay their small business suppliers as early as possible."
The FSB also urged the government to listen to the Tory leader David Cameron's demands for a six month VAT holiday for small firms, a postponement in the increase of the small companies tax rate, and a one pence cut in National Insurance Contributions (NICs) for firms with under four employees, to help shore up funds.
The Professional Contractors Group, which represents many IT freelancer in the UK, agreed with Cameron's call for emergency tax cuts during the current economic downturn.
"[The] proposals by the Conservatives show that they recognise the importance of small businesses and the huge contribution that they make to the UK economy," said PCG managing director John Brazier.
"They clearly do not want to see small businesses going to the wall and they are coming to their aid. However, I would like to remind all political parties that it is the IR35 legislation as well as the imminent 'income shifting' tax that concerns our members most."
The contractor group has been calling on the government to abolish its IR35 tax legislation. Many have argued that it saddles freelancers with excessive tax pay-backs up to six years after completing a job.
"Whilst the credit crunch grabs the headlines and a cut in national insurance is a welcome proposal, we will continue to lobby against IR35 and the income shifting proposals – both are unworkable and unfair and are resented by the tens of thousands of freelancers out there who feel they are being penalised for their hard work." ®

Center Valley, Pa. - A student-athlete from Massachusetts Institute of Technology won a major Patriot League honor for the first time on Wednesday as junior Theresa Saxton-Fox was named the Rowing Scholar-Athlete of the Year while also landing on a list of 11 rowers that comprised the sport's inaugural Academic All-Patriot League Team. Joining Fox on the Academic All-Patriot League was junior Allison Simi.
The Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year award is the highest honor the League bestows upon a student-athlete in each sport. Student-athletes are nominated by their institution and voted upon by the media relations staff at all participating institutions.
Saxton-Fox has been a member of MIT's varsity eight boat in each of her three seasons. She was a Division I CRCA National Scholar-Athlete in 2010 and becomes MIT's first Scholar-Athlete of the Year winner in the school's second season as an associate Patriot League member in the sport of women's rowing.
Saxton-Fox has a long line of athletic, academic and extracurricular achievements at MIT. The native of Wayland, Mass. has accumulated a 4.9 grade-point average on a 5.0 scale (3.92/4.0 GPA). She serves as President of MIT's Engineers Without Borders, which engineers solutions to issues in developing countries. She has overseen projects on water accessibility, alternative cooking fuels and individual shower units for slums as well as fundraising activities. She was awarded a Public Service Center (PSC) Fellowship to travel to Uganda as the team's project manager, where she worked with local customs officials to import solar panels into Uganda. Saxton-Fox is a researcher at the High Power pumped heat exchanger lab at MIT and a team member in the Design and Manufacturing II Lab.
Simi carries a 4.8/5.0 (3.84/4.0) grade-point average to join Saxton-Fox as an Academic All-Patriot League honoree from MIT. The junior also earned CRCA National Scholar-Athlete status last season.
The Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year for each individual sport comprises the pool of nominees for the Patriot League Male and Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards given out over the summer. One male and one female are selected for this honor. To be eligible for the Scholar-Athlete of the Year award and the Academic All-Patriot League Team, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.20 cumulative grade point average and be a starter or key player in his/her sport. Freshmen or students in their first academic year at their school are not eligible for the honor.
The awards were voted on by sports information directors around the League who could not cast a ballot for their own student-athletes. The Academic All-Patriot League Team has been added for all sports beginning in the 2010-11 season to honor additional student-athletes who excel both on and off the field.
Patriot League champion Bucknell led all schools with three student-athletes on the Academic All-Patriot League team, with Jillian O'Mara, Stephanie Frank and Carol Schoenecker making the list. Colgate (Natalie Bauman and Katherine Johnescu) and Holy Cross (Kate Broderick and Beth Charron) also had a pair of nominees. Lehigh's Jackie Ogden and Navy's Jacqueline Penichet round out the Academic All-Patriot League team.

Hedge funds took profits in large cap consumer discretionary stocks in the fourth quarter of 2011 and put more money to work in the tech sector, which has been the top performer so far this year.
A new report from Credit Suisseanalysts shows that the top 50 hedge funds raised their portfolio exposure to the S&P 500 technology stocks to 27 percent in the fourth quarter from 24 percent a quarter before.
At the same time, the hedge funds significantly decreased their exposure to consumer discretionary stocks, which had the largest weight in the first three quarters of 2011.
"They probably see tech stocks as more attractive, whereas macro factors and concerns about consumer spending are not in favor of consumer discretionary stocks," says Credit Suisse's Pankaj Patel, who led the study.
Hedge fund exposure to the S&P 500 consumer discretionary stocks fell to 16.8 percent from 20.8 percent over the same time period.
Meanwhile, allocations to energy grew, although big hedge funds still remain underweight the sector.
Industrials and consumer staples were tied for the largest underweight.
The top three S&P 500 stock holdings of big hedge funds are: El Paso , Motorola Solutions and Apple .
In mid- and small-cap stocks, the top hedge funds took a different tact. Here they increased exposure to consumer discretionary throughout the fourth quarter.
Among the top holdings: Lamar Advertising , Williams Sonoma , NVR , Fossil , Carter , Live Nation Entertainment , and Coinstar .
In mid-caps, top hedge funds increased their holding in the industrials sector, and in small caps, allocations to health care increased the most.
The financial sector was the most underweighted sector in both indexes, although hedge funds upped their mid-cap financials exposure, according to the report.
And while allocation to the information technology increased in large and small caps, the sector saw the largest weight decline in mid-caps.
Credit Suisse analysts also put together a list of the firms where the top 50 hedge funds own significant portions. They include:

Lead Excavation a Success at Smithfield, R.I. Site
Release Date: 12/05/2008
Contact Information: Jeanethe Falvey, (617) 918-1020
(Boston, Mass, - Dec.5, 2008) – EPA's work to remove lead contaminated soil at the Providence Barrel Site in Smithfield, R.I. is winding down. As expected, all activity has concluded for the season, both on schedule and under anticipated costs. EPA has been working closely with the Rhode Island Dept. of Environmental Management (RI DEM), local officials and residents throughout the cleanup process.
Excavation of contaminated soils began in May, 2008. In the past two weeks all on site personnel and equipment were demobilized and all seed restoration for this season was completed. EPA will be back in the spring to complete vegetation restoration and repair any damage that has occurred over the winter.
The former Providence Barrel facility, located in a residential neighborhood on Oak Street in the village of Esmond in Smithfield, operated as a barrel reclamation facility from 1972 until 1980. The two-acre site had been inactive in recent years, but federal and state investigations indicated the presence of soil and potentially groundwater contamination.
The cleanup work was prompted by a site investigation conducted by RI DEM, EPA and its Superfund Technical Assessment and Response Team (START) contractor in Oct. 2005. Based on these findings and subsequent investigations, in July, 2007, EPA recommended a removal action for this site.
Further investigation conducted during the cleanup found elevated levels of lead related to site activities on 17 adjacent private properties. The excavation of soil contamination on these parcels was completed by October 8, 2008. Properties that were cleared of contamination were backfilled with clean soil, re-seeded and landscaped to ensure a return to original, but clean, conditions.
Almost 7,000 tons of lead-contaminated soil was removed from the entire site, and all buildings that had existed on the property were removed. The contaminated soils were transported to a treatment facility and then re-used as daily-cover soil at a landfill in New Hampshire.

Bill Steinwedel
On The Pre-Law Program
Bill Steinwedel grew up watching "Law and Order," and always imagined himself in the role of district attorney Jack McCoy, played by Sam Waterston.
"I've wanted to be a lawyer since I was six years old," he says. The political science and English major started studying for the LSAT in the spring of his junior year and performed extremely well, scoring in the 96th percentile when he took the test nine months later.
"The LSAT tests you not on constitutional law but on your ability to reason effectively, to think logically, and to make decisions quickly," Bill says. "That's why a variety of classes and your ability to read and write critically are so important."
He was attracted to Washington College by the fact that the pre-law program here is so flexible—he spent a summer abroad in the Hansard Program in Parliamentary Government and also gained certification in secondary teaching to keep his options open. But because he scored so well on the LSAT, Bill went directly to law school full-time, choosing Georgetown from among the several top programs to which he was accepted. He wants to become a prosecutor or do trial advocacy work.
"The pre-law program allowed me to do everything I wanted to do and still graduate in four years," Bill says. "And the advisors here are very good; they'll keep you on the right path and make sure you do the things that are required."

No. 11 Tar Heels putting the pieces together
North Carolina coach Roy Williams knew what last year's team
could accomplish before the season. The Hall of Fame coach has more
questions than answers this time.
"Last year we were picked first (in the Atlantic Coast
Conference) and I thought that was fine because I thought we could
be the best team," Williams said. "I don't have any idea what the
ceiling could be for this team. And I don't think we'll know until
we get into conference play."
The 11th-ranked Tar Heels (32-6) must replace NBA first-round
draft picks Harrison Barnes, John Henson, Kendall Marshall and
Tyler Zeller from a preseason No. 1 that went on to win the ACC
regular-season title and reach an NCAA regional final.
Left behind is a forward who struggled most of his rookie season
before coming on late in the year, a veteran guard, two players
returning from serious knee injuries and several youngsters
stepping into significant roles. That means UNC, picked to finish
third in the league, will have less room for error.
"We won games last year when we didn't play great," Williams
said. "This year, we've got to play closer to our potential or
we're not going to be successful."
It has been a bumpy offseason for the Tar Heels. After the NBA
defections, they lost longtime assistant Jerod Haase, who became
head coach at UAB.
Then, a month before practice started, the 62-year-old Williams
had surgery to remove a tumor from his right kidney. Tests
eventually determined it was a benign growth – as was a similar one
on his left kidney – but Williams has had to go easy during the
first several weeks of practice as he recovered.
Now they're preparing to find out if sophomore James Michael
McAdoo is ready to pick up where he left off late last season.
McAdoo, a 6-foot-9 forward, often looked lost through his
freshman season as a reserve. But he averaged about 11 points and
five rebounds in the ACC and NCAA tournaments when pressed into
more minutes due to Henson's wrist injury.
The former McDonald's All-American is a preseason all-ACC pick
entering the year. He's the closest thing the Tar Heels have to a
proven frontcourt presence.
"I know there were certain things I just had to realize I had
to do, and that's focus in each and every day in practice," McAdoo
said. "Practice makes perfect but perfect practices help even
more. I think that's something I had to work on. It's not something
that just all of a sudden clicked. It's something I really started
to work on at practice in late January or early February, but it
didn't show up until late March."
Junior guard Reggie Bullock also returns to provide outside
shooting and long-armed perimeter defense, while he's joined by two
guards – Leslie McDonald and Dexter Strickland – returning from
torn knee ligaments.
McDonald, the team's best outside shooter in 2011, redshirted
last season after he was hurt during a summer-league game. While
McDonald has had more than a year to recover, Strickland was
injured in January and is still working his way back to full
If both players return to form – Strickland was the team's No. 2
ballhandler and best perimeter defender – the Tar Heels will have
three veterans in the backcourt along with the return of sophomore
guard P.J. Hairston.
"With Kendall, Harrison, John and Z leaving, that's the
majority of the points," Hairston said. "It's up to us, the
upperclassmen and the freshmen that just came in to step up. If we
step up and do everything we're supposed to do, it can be a good
season and we can do anything we want to do."
Replacing Marshall at the point, however, will be the toughest
challenge, one that will likely fall to freshman Marcus Paige. The
6-foot, 157-pound lefty is a McDonald's All-American, and Williams
has said he expects Paige would have the first shot at the starting
Freshman forward Joel James (6-10, 260) could provide some
needed bulk up front alongside McAdoo, while the Tar Heels also
brought in 6-9 forward Brice Johnson and 6-5 wing J.P. Tokoto.
The pieces are there for another strong season. And after his
recent health scare, Williams is going to enjoy putting the puzzle
"I really want to enjoy the journey a heck of a lot more
myself," Williams said. "I preach that every year to my kids and
particularly the fans as well. My wife tells me I always do the
worst job of it, but I'm really going to try and do a much better
job of that myself."

With digital technologies at the heart of insurance's future growth potential, as well as being a preferred means of doing business, insurance leaders must make sure their digital investments multiply value creation.
Accenture created the Digital Performance Index, based on a study of 343 leading global companies across eight industries. We speak to Jean-Francois Gasc, Accenture's EALA Insurance Strategy lead, about where insurance companies rank in the index and how their leaders can improve performance.
What sort of picture does this research paint about digital performance in the insurance industry?
Insurance is relatively conservative in its adoption of new technologies, so it's not too surprising that it is lagging other industries, both in its level of digitalization and in its ability to realize financial returns on its digital investments.
Of course, insurance executives are making large-scale commitments to digital technologies such as the cloud, mobile, big data, robotics, and the Internet of Things. But they are not focusing enough on generating value from these commitments. Only 10 percent of insurance companies have made sufficient investments in digital to meet the criteria of our "digital leaders" category—the cross-industry average is 18 percent.
And worryingly, three out of four insurers are failing to build digital capabilities and reap financial rewards from their investments—significantly more than the 60 percent cross-industry average. We found that only five percent of insurance companies could couple strong digital and financial performance, showing a clear a gap between vision and execution at scale and speed on digital transformation.
What sort of rewards could insurers reap if they had to harness digital more effectively for creating value?
We estimate that insurance companies that embrace digital transformation could increase their underwriting profits by as much as 100 percent. But to achieve this, insurers must focus on converting digital capabilities into financial benefits—for example, by adapting their strong local distribution models to compete more successfully on the global stage.
When we look at the digital high performers in the industry—those that have combined strong digital performance and financial performance—they outperform digital leaders, which is our category for those who have made significant progress in digital capabilities, but have failed to translate that into financial strength.
The digital high performers show a 64 percent improvement on digital leaders in terms of revenue growth, and a 48 percent difference on profitability (return on equity).
How do the digital high performers set themselves apart? Are there industry-specific factors holding insurers back?
What we have found is that being a digital insurer in a single, large market is the simplest, fastest way to gain the most value from digital investments. Global players are struggling to prove themselves digital high performers in large part because the distribution of insurance is still being conducted at a local level. That makes it complex to leverage digital investments or achieve scale across geographies. In fact, most insurers allocate their digital investments locally. They focus on adapting their geographical management structures and local factors such as compliance, distribution models and customer needs.
But they should rather adopt a focused global approach to their investments around key digital capabilities like the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, digital platforms, and mobile architecture and apps. Major players in others industries, including the utilities and banking industries, that face similar local constraints have done a better job of globalizing their investments and scarce digital skills.
What can insurers do to change this picture, given that no insurer can ignore the importance of local capabilities?
Many insurers duplicate their efforts across local markets. They invest in areas and geographies which do not make financial sense, and they are also often not adequately organized to evaluate what works best where.
Instead, they should emulate the many major players in other industries that have done a better job of optimizing digital capabilities like analytics and digital platforms. They should look at running a cross-market platform approach that suits their geographic needs, avoids duplication and brings scale to investments.
Targeting the right areas for investment and sharing leading practices can double the value generation opportunity for the average insurance company.
Winning insurers will transform decentralized digital models by identifying digital capabilities that can be rolled out globally. They must systematically seek out a "multiplier and time-to-value" effect.
Do you have any advice about how to approach this in practice?
We'd recommend looking at it as a five-step process.
It begins by establishing clear group-level digital-maturity and digital-value-creation measurement for the insurance group.
Next, the insurer should understand which capabilities are structurally local, or specific to one line of business or product, versus those that will apply across most dimensions of the business. It should align scarce investments with the global or regional strategy to achieve a multiplier effect across many geographies and drive a shorter time to value.
Thirdly, it's important to balance investments and execution efforts across all four areas of digital performance—plan, make, sell and manage—both at group and local level.
Fourthly, insurers should allocate local investments to specific opportunities and regions with shorter time to value. They must avoid over-investing in countries or business lines where the competition is less intense or the digital maturity far lower.
Finally, they should strive to increase the multiplier effect by sharing leading practices at speed in business areas where centrally developed or high performance digital capabilities cannot be applied.

Shakia is very hot and sexy girl. she is very populer girl in whole world for her songs. she is very best singer in whole world.When Shakira was a child, Nidia discovered that Shakira had a gift for writing. According to Colombian Columnists, Shakira Knew the Alphabet by the age of eighteen months, at three she knew how to read, and by the time she was four, she was ready for school. It seemed as though she Might have been a child prodigy. At least that's what Nidia believed, so she had her academically tested to determine if the little girl was a genius. Shakira lived alone with her parents, though it was quite frequent for her half siblings to come over, be it to baby-sit or to play with her, since they live only a few blocks away. that may be why when Shakira talks about her family she includes her brothers and sisters (omitting the "Half") as well as her parents. Of all her father's children, Shakira never met her oldest half brother because he died
before she was born. Her oldest sister Lucy is a surgeon, Alberto her brother is a lawyer, Moises is the thrid child, Tonino is the fourth child and the closest to Shakira, having worked many years as her road manager. Then is Patricia who lives in Spain, she is a special education teacher, and finally there is Antonio and Edward, the youngest who lives in Miami .

Hi Girls and Girls ( you know who you are)
Well the Sandman is finally back in Alice and on the bike. After 2 weeks in the US in freezing temps and then 2 weeks away in the "outback" it was on the bike today after 4 weeks.... Oh the fschking hurt, where were my FPR buddies when I needed them the most. Words of encouragement like " you big girl, back to D grade, you suck, etc etc ! Well there was some "residual" fitness and the ride wasnt too bad. Sunrise around 5:50am so enough light not to need the Ayups....Time out and home was 45 mins each way, 28kms and averaged 37 so I was happy enough....it hurt a bit, was darn warm this arvo and ran out of water.
I think I've come to the realization that racing in Alice isn't my cup of tea. Not enough riders to make it real fun though I spose if everyone has that attitude there would be none I think I'm going to social ride on weekends, put effort into the day rides, ride the TDU in Jan in Adelaide, Barkley Challenge in Tennant middle of next year and then race at the NT Masters Games in Oct last year. I'm spending HEAPS more time with my wife and kids and I'm having a total ball....We've been out here for 10 months now and we're busy all the time with local activities and travel, I'm lucky that I can still ride !

(35 Reviews)
Hi there My name is Elaine. I am mature full figured woman with a desire to talk to men. I am not a whore so please do not treat me like I am one. I am a woman with lots of love in my heart and loneliness in my bedroom. I was married for over 10 years and my husband passed away earlier this year. He was a kind and good man and we had a wonderful relationship. We had a healthy sex life. We fantasized together and enjoyed sharing toys. I am a believer that a good marriage means a good sex life. We had lots of toys and we shared so many hopes and dreams together. We had wonderful phone sex when he went away on trips. I am a happy person, though admittedly a little lonely. For 10 years we had sex 2-4 x a week, now I don't have sex. Although I hope that this line helps to get me ready to go back out and start dating. So here is the deal, call and share your fantasies with me. I want to know what guys fantasize about today. If I believe the internet, all white men fantasize about is having their wives fucked by big black men. Is that true, Is this the number one fantasy of white men? Call me and tell me what turns you on about this idea. Tell me what you want your wife to do. Do you want to suck the black cock too? Does this mean you are gay or bi sexual? I am not judgmental just curious. If this is not your fantasy that is fine too. Are you looking for an older woman? I can be that sultry seductive woman who leads you astray.

Roy Moore, the Philippines, tax reform: 5 things that happened Monday
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) —
2. Trump mum on human rights
3. GOP continues march towards taxes
4. Trump nominates former drug executive
5. New charges in PSU case
Looking to get caught up on the news, fast? Here are five things that happened Monday, covered by the Sinclair stations you trust every day.
1. Another women accuses Roy Moore
Another woman alleged U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore sexually assaulted her while she was 16 and he in his thirties.
Though Alabama politician unequivocally denied the accusations, the most senior members of the Republican party are calling for him to abandon the race.
2. Trump mum on human rights
Wrapping up his visit to the Philippines, President Donald Trump appears to have steered clear of the topic of human rights.
Thousands of innocent civilians have been brutally murdered in the country in its president's gory battle against drugs.
3. GOP continues march towards taxes
The Republican party attempted to duck the Moore controversy and keep the focus on tax reform, which they hope to accomplish in coming months.
4. Trump nominates former drug executive
Trump nominated a former drug executive, Alex Azar, to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.
The move came as a surprise to some, as Trump has often spoken out against the pharmaceutical industry.
5. New charges in PSU case
Prosecutors are filing new charges in the case of a Penn State University fraternity pledge's death, after recovering a deleted video which showed the victim being given at least 18 drinks over less than 90 minutes.
