Although many people in the 1950s believed that African People in the usa were inferior to Caucasians, nevertheless their very own theory was wrong mainly because any flaws African People in america had during the time were due to the way we were holding treated, certainly not their contest. John Howard Griffin finds out this by simply changing his skin color and living as an African American.
John Howard Griffin was an expert upon race concerns when he darkened his pores and skin and went down south to see what lifestyle was like pertaining to an Black. Despite his enlightened perspective of detrimental rights, he was fully unaware of what it would be like to turn into African American. Although he, like most northerners, was aware of the indegent treatment of the African American people in the to the south, he was unaware of how criticizing it was to be African American and how impossible it had become intended for African Us citizens to become successful members of society.
The moment Griffin's epidermis was discolored he was remedied differently than when ever his skin area was white colored.
He was treated horrifically for not any other purpose than the colour of his epidermis. He was condescended upon by Caucasians and spoken to vulgarly. Using one occasion, he was chased down the street by a White youth whilst offensive obscenities were hurled at him. However , the discrimination he endured has not been always this kind of obvious. Sometimes it was incredibly subtle. Could his color change Griffin knew that African Us citizens were given low paying careers and were not allowed to work at certain businesses or apply certain services. He did not know, however , how this treatment made Dark-colored life unhappy. On page 52, the total effect of the discrimination can be explained.
"You take a fresh white youngster. He can go through school and college having a real motivation. He understands he can make good money in a profession when he gets away. But may a Negro- in the To the south? No, I have seen various make brilliant grades in college. But when they come back home in the high seasons to generate a little money, they have to the actual most menial work. And in many cases when they graduate, it's a very long hard take. Most take postal careers, or preaching or teaching jobs. This is actually the cream. How about the others, Mister. Griffin? A guy knows regardless of how hard he works, he's never going to quite manage¦ taxation and prices eatup more than he can earn. This individual can't observe how he'll ever have a wife and children. The economic framework just does not permit that unless he is prepared to live down in poverty and still have his better half work also. This lifestyle was forced upon African Americans because of phony stereotypes about their race.
"They saw all of us as "different' from themselves in important ways: we were irresponsible; we were different inside our sexual morals; we were intellectually limited; there were a God-given sense of rhythm; i was lazy and happy-go-lucky; we loved melon and fried chicken. (162) Sadly, the belief in the second status of the African American was widespread. Even intellectuals were misled simply by scientific studies printed in academic journals and newspapers. The studies confirmed that Black people acquired more illegitimate children, before loss of virginity and a better crime price than when compared to Caucasian persons. Because of this, Photography equipment Americans had been discriminated against. This splendour led African Americans in an threatening standard of living. Griffin, however , explains that the features given to Africa Americans are not ingrown qualities shared among all of their race, but instead products of the poor circumstances they were required to live in.
Griffin says you cannot find any "basic difference between grayscale white(89) and attributes these kinds of characteristics since "the associated with environment about human nature. (89) "You place the light man inside the ghetto, deny him with the educational positive aspects, arrange this so he has to have difficulty hard to satisfy his intuition for self-respect, give him tiny physical privacy and less enjoyment, and he would after a time presume the characteristics you attach to the Negro. These kinds of characteristics avoid spring by whiteness or blackness, but from a man's conditioning¦when you power humans into a subhuman mode of existence, this usually happens.
Deny a man of any connection with the joys of the soul and he'll fall completely into the ones from the drag. (90) African People in the usa were treated poorly due to negative stereotypes associated with all their race. Nevertheless , any fact in these stereotypes was due to their poor treatment, not area of their epidermis. If these people were treated terribly, they would gain these qualities. They were cured poorly because of these characteristics, the characteristics that have been caused by their particular poor treatment. This viscous cycle ongoing until the detrimental rights motion of the sixties.
In John Howard Griffin's book Dark Like Me, Griffin accurately explains the difference between way Caucasians were cured and the method African People in the usa were treated in America's south during the 1950s. His ability to illustrate the contrast so accurately stems from the truth that this individual experienced what was like to be seen as "black and what it was like to appear as "white. Although many southerners at the time presumed that Caucasians were superior to African Americans, nevertheless Griffin proves that African People in america are not substandard and that any kind of negative features that exist in stereotypical Photography equipment Americans result from oppression by way of a Caucasian alternative.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron GameStop and Amazon Pre-Order Exclusives
I don't usually like going into GameStop, but I might just for these goodies.
A little bummed I have to admit. Hoping it would be some Downloadible characters to play as.
pre ordered 2 weeks ago
Holy crap! Playable Fruiticus!
DAT BRUTICUS... man... im tempted to preorder it from amazon just to get that skin. but part of me wonders if a future DLC pack wont contain all the "preorder bonus" goodies like they did for WFC?
Attack of the Big Bad Dudicus!
Gamestop it is. But I meh overall. I really hoped the stuff would be a bit better, and I still hope there is a collectors edition.
Surprised they didn't try to match Hasbro's mass release version of Bruticus.
That gigantic glowy purple section on the Brawl leg looks weird.
Oh my god
Oh my god
Hasbro, toy PLEEEEASE. You're so close with the mass retail colors, but not quite there.
At least it isn't the fucking mess the first had. Disk locked characters you could only get through code from various retailers.
Gamestop has the better deal of course, but I hate them enough to not give a damn. That Earth Prime looks awful proportion wise just like the FoC version does. I don't get what Highmoon are trying to do with him. The super buff look isn't Prime at all.
The guns are nice throwbacks though.
G1 Optimus looks awesome!
Looks like it's time to pre order this shit.
Those were eventually unlocked as well through the first DLC pack.
Damn it! Why is there nothing at EB? It's the same thing as Gamstop.
Fruiticus...Love it.
But man Optimus looks Ripped as sh*t.
Hmm. I might preorder for one of those.
Gamestop it is!
And as I just texted Neo: That's the G2 colored one! Not the retail release one.
Trukk not munky!
...Someone had to say it...
Separate names with a comma.

Got Insurance?
by Skip Cohen
Just a quick tip to check: BEFORE you hit the road for a convention, workshop or any trip your camera gear is joining you on, including just shooting a local wedding or assignment...Check to make sure you're adequately insured!
Six years ago at WPPI an attendee had all her camera gear disappear from her room. A year before that a photographer had a couple of lenses "walk" out of his camera bag while he was watching a program. I've heard story after story of cameras left out at a wedding venue disappearing.
So, while we simply live in a world that doesn't always work the way it should, we can at least ease the pain and sleep better at night knowing we've got the right insurance. The sad part of the challenge is that so many people think they're adequately insured, only to learn when the chips are down, they weren't covered.
This is going to apply to almost all of you who are part time photographers and think your homeowners insurance will cover you - check again and you'll probably learn that if you're using your camera gear for business purposes you're probably NOT covered for theft.
Just pick up the phone and call your insurance agency...right now. You're working too hard to risk losing your gear simply because you procrastinated and didn't have the right insurance.

National Harbor 6 (Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center)
Photoelectrochemical cells (PECs) are integrated devices that offer an attractive approach to converting solar energy into storable chemical energy, such as hydrogen. In PEC-driven water electrolysis, the product species, hydrogen and oxygen, are first evolved as gas bubbles at the surface of the electrode. However, these gas bubbles can lead to significant efficiency losses, due to increasing electrode surface coverage by gas bubbles that block active material and reactants from reaching the photoelectrode surface. It is known that when gas bubbles are attached to the surface of a photoelectrode, they can induce a variety of loss mechanisms, however, these bubble losses are difficult to quantifiably measure and still not completely understood. Therefore, it is desirable to study the gas evolution dynamics on these photoelectrodes so that systems can be designed to minimize efficiency losses. In this study, in situ scanning photocurrent microscopy (SPCM) is used, for the first time, to investigate the local photocurrent losses associated with isolated hydrogen bubbles attached to the surface of a photoelectrode. By measuring the change in photocurrent response of an area of interest, we can quantify and determine local optical bubble-induced photocurrent losses on a photoelectrode at the sub-bubble level. Silicon-based photocathodes based on a metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) architecture containing a continuous 3 nm metal layer, are used for this work. SPCM is used to systematically investigate the influence of varying bubble size on the performance of these photoelectrodes under varied experimental conditions. The quantitative SPCM measurements are combined with optical modeling based on Snell's Law. Comparisons between the experimentally determined losses and those predicted with the optical model are used to elucidate relationships between local photocurrent losses and bubble size. Significant increases in optical losses for larger bubbles (diameter > 150 μm) are seen, due to regions of total internal reflection that are not present for the small bubbles studied. Finally, the knowledge gained from the SPCM single-bubble measurements are applied to a large photoelectrode surface under uniform AM1.5 illumination. Using these measurements, we can model the current-time profile associated with multiple bubble evolution off of a fully-illuminated photoelectrode surface. Overall, this study sets the stage for quantitatively modeling bubble-related losses for various photoelectrode geometries and operating conditions. We have also provided valuable insight into the optical losses associated with having a single surface bound gas bubbles on a photoelectrode surface.

ARCE Launches Endowment Campaign with $1 million Matching Grant Find us
ARCE is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a $1 million matching grant from the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Foundation of Southfield, Michigan. The grant is specifically meant to strengthen ARCE's operating endowment and build institutional capacity. The award is the largest ever received by ARCE from the private sector, and is the first such grant to be awarded as a result of the ARCE Endowment Campaign initiated in 2007.
Among the Fisher Foundation's many humanitarian and cultural interests is a significant focus on "supporting education, promoting the arts and enhancing the discovery, documentation and preservation of ancient and modern cultures,†according to the Foundation's website. ARCE board member Marjorie Fisher, trustee and daughter of founders Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher, was central to bringing ARCE and the Foundation together in support of these common goals.
"Together we were able to successfully convey the value that ARCE's ongoing financial stability will bring to the preservation and celebration of Egypt's—and the world's—cultural heritage,†said ARCE Director Gerry Scott. "Our sincerest thanks to Marjorie Fisher and the Trustees of the Fisher Foundation for believing so strongly in ARCE's mission and helping us take the first enormous step in strengthening and solidifying our institutional capacity.â€
As a matching grant, the $1 million will be paid out over five years on the condition that ARCE secures matching private support for the operating endowment during that same time period, for an additional $1 million. Especially with the uncertainty of future government funding, the new emphasis on private operating endowment funding is essential to ARCE's ongoing financial stability.
Now with a generous matching grant from the Fisher Foundation, the ARCE Endowment Campaign will help to ensure ARCE's ability to plan for the long-term while remaining focused on scholarship, documentation, training, and conservation. For information on how you can help ARCE raise $5 million by 2012, please visit the Contributions page.
The International Council of Museums, in an effort to fight against illicit traffic in cultural goods, compiles the Emergency Red List of Egyptian Cultural Objects at Risk. This list aims to help art and heritage professionals and law enforcement officials identify Egyptian objects that are protected by national and international legislations.

** Day zero **
"Zarkov! Get us out of here!!"
Flash Gordon is barely audible given the barrage of gunfire surrounding them, but his trusty scientist sidekick need not be told twice. A burst of white light zaps out of the rift blaster gun and drills a new tunnel into the fabric of the universe – a tunnel that promises to take them away from the hellish planet of Mongo and return them home.
"Go! Go! Go!"
Dale jumps in first followed by Zarkov, then Baylin but before Flash can make it to the rift, the Patriots are almost on him. The rift blinks and shifts like television static, but stays miraculously open, thank God. Flash takes a hit to a shoulder bravely but screams as another one rips through his right thigh. He stumbles and falls. Picks himself up because if he doesn't he's surely going to die this time.
"Please don't close, please don't close please…"
Flash finds his last reserve of grit and depleting energy, makes the last long stride practically sailing through to the other side. The rift shrinks to nothing behind him, just in time to shield him from the rest of the not so friendly firing. He sighs in relief as he hits rock solid planet earth, painfully.
Kendal, Maryland.
Home. He's home at last. The thought allows him to release the tenacious grip he has on his slipping consciousness. But not before the haze clears enough for him to realize that something is… off.
Oh man. He thinks just before he passes out. Why do these things always happen to me?
** Day two **
Flash slowly drifts back into awareness, though his eyelids are still too heavy to allow him to be fully roused. Feels the soft cotton cushioning his head as also draped under and over his tired, naked body. Clearly he must have been given something for the pain because he can't feel any. But his head feels woozy and…
Wait a minute. Naked?
He stirs and writhes, struggling to open his eyes and pull out his hand that's badly entangled in the sheets. But before he succeeds, something bulky lands on it pinning it down… another hand.
"Go back to sleep, Whitney. You're okay, shh…"
The voice is male and deep, throaty and so commanding his first instinct is to just give in and sleep. The hand is warm as it travels up his arm to his bandaged shoulder, caressing his smooth hairless skin at the collarbone. Flash toils against his weakened reflexes knowing there is something there that he should be vehemently objecting to, something that was just said…
"Shh… take it easy."
"Who's Whitney?"
The hand caressing his hair suddenly freezes. "This must be why he's been missing for so long. He's lost his memory."
There are other sounds now, a sniffling if he's not mistaken and the scent of Chanel No. Five. Now unless this deep sexy voice guy happens to be a cross-dresser…
"I just can't believe it. He's really back."
Nope. There's a woman in the room all right. At last he manages to force his eyes open, and his blurred vision reveals to him the most beautiful face he's ever, ever laid eyes on. Strangely, the fact that the face belongs to a man does not faze him in the least.
"Hi baby," the face smiles, with eyes so gentle they almost make Flash want to cry. Large hands continue to massage his bare arm and softly ruffle his blond locks.
"Oh God. Whitney, thank you for coming back to me. Thank you."
Flash frowns, closing his eyes for a second to rest because this is pretty exhausting.
"M-My name is…"
He is unable to complete. Darkness descends, no doubt as intended by the soothing touch of this stranger who keeps calling him by this odd name. This time his last thought just before he passes out is one of sheer panic. Did traveling through that inter-dimensional rift turn him into a girl?
Damn it. These things are always happening with me.
** Day four **
Flash huffs and tries to get out of bed, only to be pushed back against his pillows by this freakishly strong man who calls himself Clark.
"For the last time, Mr. Kent… my name is not Whitney. I am Flash. Flash Gordon. Or you can call me Steven that's my given name if you like. Not Whitney. Never Whitney!"
The gorgeous sea green eyes look more concerned than ever before, and Flash feels guilty for doing that to him. But between Clark and the girls Lana and Chloe and… what was that other name? Karen? Kara? Doesn't matter. He is slowly being driven mad! These people are holding him hostage in this farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, keeping him here completely against his will just so… so they could help him recuperate?
"Okay, Flash. Open your mouth."
Flash sighs, noting the sarcastic stress on his name but he's tired now and just gives in. Opens his mouth so Clark can feed him another spoonful of the chicken soup, which he is sort of glad for. It's really yummy.
"How far are we from Kendal?"
"Yes Kendal? Kendal Maryland? 32 miles from Washington DC…" Flash looks out the window then. It's a bright sunny day and he sees nothing but wide, open fields of wheat and barley stretched out for miles.
"We're not in Maryland are we?"
"Nope. Smallville, Kansas. You're home, baby. You just don't remember it yet."
"Dude I'm not your baby. Seriously! This is obviously just a case of mistaken identity…"
He tries to get up again and again the bulging biceps descend but instead of pushing him down, this time they scoop him up, covers and all.
The big Neanderthal doesn't pay heed to his protests and carries him in his arms like a bride wrapped in white sheets from the waist below.
Flash squirms helplessly, "What are you doing? Where're you taking me?"
"Relax." And that's all he says before he starts walking out to the door.
Flash panics for a second, only a second because no matter what else he's felt for the past three days since he woke up in the care of this… Clark Kent, he is yet to feel scared or unsafe in any way with this man.
Clark pushes the door open and the cool summer breeze washes over his face and naked torso. He is carried out into the sun and to the edge of the farmhouse property. Finally Clark comes to a halt and turns around. Flash fidgets like a small child held firmly in the arms of a physically stronger and larger adult.
"Put me down?" He tries again, but Clark just smiles down at him with that damn gentleness in his eyes again.
"Not yet. Look around baby. This is my place - the Kent farmhouse, you used to come over all the time."
Flash sighs but he's curious so he looks around the property. It is truly vast and beautiful. There is a loft on the side that catches his eye and Clark turns briefly to let him get a better look at it.
"That used to be my Fortress of Solitude, that became ours in your last two months of senior year. We'd go up there and…" Clark grins sheepishly and his eyes sparkle at a long lost memory.
"Well, you can imagine. Would you like to see? Might shake some buried memories loose, you never know…"
Flash winces and looks back into Clark's face. He grips around the man's neck tighter, afraid that his words would anger him enough to maybe drop him unceremoniously on his unclothed butt.
"Look. Clark. I see now why you want me to be this… Whitney. You loved him. And he bailed on you for whatever reason. But… I swear my memory is just fine! My name is Flash Gordon. I graduated from high school two years ago. I now own a garage in Kendal Maryland. Uhh, I still live in my mom's house and… and… well, weird things keep happening to me that I can't quite explain but…"
Clark smiles and shakes his head at him, starts to walk towards the loft anyway.
"Trust me baby. I know weird. Hell, ask anyone in this town, I practically invented it. Three nights ago, there was a sudden bolt of lightning with no clouds and no thunder. And you fell from the sky right onto my property. Mine, nobody else's! And anyone else would be running for the hills right about now but I'm still here Whit… way I see it, someone up there's been listening to my prayers after all."
He presses the blond even closer to his heart, shuddering with… maybe gratitude or relief, Flash isn't quite sure. But there is no doubting the sincerity in Clark's words. Flash can't help wondering what it must have been like, to be so consummately loved by such a beautiful, passionate man as Clark.
Flash shivers. Sure he's been bi-curious but he's never longed to be with a guy as much as he does right now. This Whitney Fordman character is one lucky bastard alright.
They are on top of the loft now and the view from here is even more breathtaking. Clark lays him out on another bed, smaller but lined with soft blue sheets and a matching comforter. The loft doesn't smell like a barn at all, which is what Flash, being a product of suburbia, had expected. Fact it smelt fresh and clean and… safe. Pretty much like its owner. It suddenly occurs to him, that they are up here in what used to be Clark and Whitney's "make-out" zone.
"Clark, please listen…"
But before he can finish, Clark is sitting beside him, looking down into his face with such intensity in his eyes that Flash forgets what he was trying to say in the first place. And then the heavenly full lips are descending down on him. Capturing his breathless mouth ferociously, refusing to let go.
Flash whimpers, deep in his throat. One part of his brain is screaming at him to make it stop, push him away because he knows Clark won't force him. He just knows. And yet another part of him, a much bigger part yearns to cede and surrender. Forget that he's Flash Gordon just for a while and be this… this Whitney that Clark loves and misses so much.
He closes his eyes and goes limp in the other man's arms. His head lolls back slightly to give Clark better access to his mouth which in turns opens automatically in invitation. Clark smiles into the kiss, delving in with his avid tongue to take in all the myriad tastes of the blond man. Time stops, or speeds away, who knows. Flash is content to kiss Clark for as long as he is allowed to.
To hell with Kendal, Maryland.
** Day eight **
Flash mewls, shuddering as his erection makes itself known, and that completely takes him by surprise. He's never gotten this hard just from kissing before. Of course there are also the hands… the big warm hands caressing his face and neck. Slowly peeling his borrowed clothes and denuding his pale body from head to last curling toe. And then they are mapping every single inch of his quivering skin… teasing his nipples and tickling his navel, playing with the light blond hair of his pubes and drawing magical circles in the sensitive spots behind his knees. Pulling his legs far and wide to make space for Clark to settle in between them, the man's denim-covered erection rocking against his naked one insolently.
Flash is forced to pull away from Clark's hungry lips so he can catch his breath but his new lover doesn't miss a beat, and starts kissing and licking at the rest of his face. A hand pulls his right thigh up from the bed mindful of the left one that is healing well, making room for the deft fingers to slide down to his pert ass and cup it almost possessively.
"I missed you, Whit, so much…"
Flash ignores the comment that's clearly not meant for him and arches up, making more room underneath him so Clark can hold his entire butt in the palm of his giant hand, squeezing and patting and rubbing at leisure. Flash starts to moan and whimper aloud, his heart is racing at a thousand miles an hour and his balls are now so pulled up so tight they hurt. That's the moment Clark chooses to finger him.
"Aah!!! What was that?"
Clark looks into his wide spooked eyes and chuckles. "Relax, baby. That is only like.. the most sacred hiding place of the greatest gift you've ever given me…"
Flash doesn't get a chance to so much as frown or roll his eyes and pretend to barf like he wants to. Instead a finger breaches through the tight ring of muscle at his anus, and he gasps.
"Shhh… you're so tight. Let me grab some lube. It's okay… it's okay."
Clark is gone and back so freaking fast it makes Flash wonder if he ever left at all. Or maybe he's imagining things? The next time he feels a finger invading his ass, it is wetter and slicker and glides in pretty easily. And it feels absolutely wonderful. Flash whimpers, throws his head back and lets his partner push in and pull out of him, massaging his virginal entrance. Soon a second finger joins the first and if it felt oddly intrusive before, Flash feels positively occupied now. And then Clark's knuckles bend and brush against his prostate.
"Ahhh!!! God! What the…. Oh God!"
He can feel Clark smiling into the kisses he's still planting on his body wherever he can. It's almost as if Clark is everywhere all at once. There are soon three fingers fucking him so very thoroughly and Flash's mind is slowly turning into slush.
"You're so hot like this baby. Wish I could finger-fuck you forever."
"Dude… if you keep this up any longer I'm going to go insane."
That deep throaty chuckle again, and at last the fingers are pulled out. Flash re-learns how to breathe only to lose it again the next instant when something bigger, much much bigger is slowly but firmly thrust inside of him. At first it hurts and Flash resists, his natural reflexes kicking into gear. But then Clark is shushing him, holding him close to his broad frame and rocking him.
"It's okay. Will only be a little uncomfortable to begin with. But I promise it will feel so great. Relax baby, just relax okay…"
Flash nods fervently, not wanting to back down at this point. He clings to Clark with all his might and spreads his legs as far as they can go to enable the penetration. Clark drives home inch by inch until he is completely sheathed inside his lover. Flash moans his loudest yet, prompting Clark to kiss him again.
"I'm gonna start moving now, okay?"
And Clark does. Flash's eyes fly open first, his pupils completely dilated as the most exhilarating sensations hit every nerve ending in his body full force. Apparently there was a whole new world of sexual ecstasy that existed right here on planet earth that Flash had had no idea of. That is, until this very moment.
He rocks back against every thrust that Clark makes inside of him, although he has his suspicions the other man is acting with considerable restraint. At first the thrust is just that – a long hard object moving in and out of his very sensitive rectum and fueling his already raging hard-on. But then on the fourth thrust or so Clark hits jackpot. Flash's eyes fly open and he screams, not sure how to deal with the sudden burst of happiness he feels lighting up inside of him.
"Oh God Oh God Oh God…"
And then he thrusts again, rubbing right against the sweet spot and Flash screams again. The third time he brushes the prostate is too much for the poor boy and he comes furiously against Clark's red t-shirt and blue jeans.
"Oh! Clark I… ohh!!"
Flash is for the first time in his life, at a complete loss for words. But apparently his newfound lover isn't done with him yet. There is a clock on the wall in front of him and Flash opens his eyes frequently enough to look at it, vaguely registering the time that it shows. Fifteen minutes later, Clark has come in his ass at least once but he is still hard as a rock and fucking him with rabid enthusiasm. Another fifteen minutes pass, in which both Flash and Clark enjoy their second releases together and while Flash is happy to call it quits for the day, the other man is still raring to go.
He pulls out of Flash, making him groan with both relief and disappointment then softly kisses his breathless mouth again.
"You okay, baby?"
"W-Wow… never been better." Flash smiles when he sees the absolute delight in Clark's face. Which suddenly transforms into eagerness and mischief.
"Turn over."
"Jesus… Clark…"
But he gets no further say in the matter. Clark maneuvers his body like a little ragdoll until he is on his hands and knees then enters him from behind once again. Flash groans, rests his head on the pillow between his hands, pushing up his ass further upwards in the process. Which only makes Clark grunt wholeheartedly in return because that is simply the hottest thing he's ever seen.
Clark uses a varied rhythm this time, driving hard and fast for a solid five minutes and then suddenly slowing down and thrusting in only like twice in a minute, holding them both utterly still during the intervals. Frustrates the hell out of Flash who tries to stroke himself to another release in tandem with the fucking but he doesn't know what to expect.
"Duuuude! Enough with the teasing," he begs, and Clark lowers his head to kiss the bony protrusions in his spine.
"Shhh… all in good time. I ain't going nowhere, baby."
Which may precisely be the trouble, Flash thinks and whimpers. He has no choice but to submit to another twenty minutes of rigorous fucking, during which he manages to come a third time and he's lost count of how many times Clark's ejaculated inside him. There is semen dribbling out of his orifice and down his thighs that Clark sometimes scoops up in his fingers and feeds it to his blond lover. Flash thinks it's the hottest and dirtiest thing he's probably ever done. He opens his mouth wide every time, sucks on the fingers lustily until it's all gone and then Clark goes back to concentrate on the pistoning.
Now this may be his very first time experiencing gay sex himself, but Flash has a feeling that nearly an hour of nonstop fucking is probably a world record in itself.
"Dude… are you like… superhuman or something?"
Clark chuckles squeezing the baby fat on his lover's beautifully rotund bottom, and giving one last big thrust before he throws his head back and lets himself go.
"You're going to be so sore in the morning," he says laughing.
Flash simply groans and collapses on the bed just as Clark finally pulls out of his ass. Already he feels like he just ran a twenty-six mile marathon under ten minutes. His eyes start to droop, and he feels himself being flipped and turned over until he is snugly wrapped up in soft clean sheets. Then Clark hauls him up into arms and carries him out of the loft and back into the house.
It is nearly sundown and there is a fresh chill in the wind. Flash has no recollection of what happens once they reach the house.
** Day nine **
The first light of dawn builds a soft pressure on his closed eyelids until he is forced to open them and acknowledge a new day. But that isn't the only thing that stirs him out of his death-like sleep. It is also the strange throbbing at the base of his spine, centered mostly in his… oh. So this is what Clark meant by sore. He winces and a tiny sound of pain escapes his lips. Expectedly, Clark is by his side in an instant.
"Hey baby, how're you doing?"
Flash grins his best, allows Clark to kiss him softly on the lips and brush his wild hair back from his forehead. It aches, but it's a nice warm, lingering sort of ache, one that he suspects he'll miss very much if it were gone. He notices Clark is still wearing the clothes from last night and frowns.
"You didn't sleep?"
Clark purses his lips and shakes his head. "I've been thinking."
"About what?"
"About…" Clark sighs, a profound sadness clouding his features which makes Flash's heart well in return.
"About how I'd live without you. Once you go back…"
"To Kendal."
Flash swallows, tears already starting to sting at the corner of his eyes. He'd woken up completely willing to be Whitney, Clark's Whitney for the rest of his damn life. Okay, maybe not for life. But for awhile, at least. Clark stretches out beside him until they are lying on the bed facing each other. He cups the blond man's face in one hand and strokes it softly.
"I had Chloe check up on you, she confirmed everything you had to say. Came over last night while you were sleeping. But honestly, I think I already knew. I knew you were not my Whitney the moment I first kissed you in the loft. Also, you were clearly a virgin until yesterday and... well, Whit wasn't."
A lone tear starts to slide down his face, which Clark catches on a fingertip.
"Shh… please don't be sad, baby. God knows I wanted you to be Whitney. But even when I knew you were not, I just… I couldn't stop touching you. I couldn't not make love to you. Flash, you have to understand you are not just a replacement to me. And I'm so sorry if I hurt you…"
Flash snivels and smiles back. "Hey, no need to be sorry, Clark. I wanted what happened between us last night. Fact I loved every single minute of it. I don't regret it and… I hope you don't either."
"Not at all, baby. Not at all."
Clark kisses him then, pouring his heart out through his lips and Flash contributes another couple of tears into the mix. When they pull apart, he quietly chuckles.
"So I noticed you've taken to calling me baby… is it because you didn't wanna admit to yourself that I'm not Whitney?"
Clark sighs, "I think so. Whitney was in the marine corp. He's been missing in action for five years now. I just… haven't been able to come to terms with the reality of it."
Flash swallows. Quietly pulls his hand out from the covers and extends it in the tiny space between them towards Clark.
"Hi, I'm Flash. Flash Gordon."
Clark smiles, shakes his hand and then raises it up to his mouth and kisses it. "Nice to meet you, Flash Gordon. Now, would you care to explain to me – how does a kid from Kendal, Maryland drop out of the sky and into the middle of Smallville, Kansas?"
Oh. Um. Right.
Flash sighs, as always finding it hard and awkward to explain to a civilian the baffling realities of his life. He takes a deep breath and sits up. "Okay, Clark…"
Another deep breath as he looks down at his supine lover. "What I'm about to tell you, may come as a huge shock to you. And you may even think I'm crazy, or a freak…"
He sees the corners of Clark's mouth slowly turning up but doesn't think much of it.
"But I promise you – everything I'm going to tell you right now, every single word? Is one hundred percent, god-awful truth."
Clark bites his lip, "Oh-kay?"
Flash exhales loudly again. "Clark? We are not alone."
"I mean in this universe."
"There are other planets, other worlds that exist beyond Earth and there are these dimensions that… uh… Clark?"
"I believe you baby."
Flash pouts and crosses his arms. "Yeah? Then why are you laughing? I'm not crazy, really I'm not!"
Clark just keeps bellowing, then suddenly pulls Flash flush against himself, holding him in a generously tight embrace. Flash Gordon sighs and just rolls his eyes. His last thought as Clark captures his still talking lips with his own is one of utter exasperation, and perfect bliss.
So why do these things keep happening to me? Huh. Just lucky I guess.

A week after having their opener cancelled due to COVID-19, the UCF Golden Knights will finally get to take the field. September 19 marks the second latest start in school history, with the latest start being the Golden Knights' inaugural season. UCF has a roster loaded with 16 starters returning from a team that went 10-3 a year ago, with all three losses being by three points or less. On paper, the Knights seemingly have an advantage at every position over the Yellowjackets, except for one thing.
On a weekend of upsets, Georgia Tech scored one of the bigger ones with a come from behind road win at Florida State. The Seminoles were favored by 11.5 points in that game and jumped out to a 10-0 lead despite early lightning delays. The Yellow Jackets locked down on defense over the final three quarters, allowing just three points while giving Freshman quarterback Jeff Sims time to get his feet under him. In the fourth quarter, the defense came up with a huge fumble recovery to set up the game-winning score, giving second-year head coach Geoff Collins a signature victory.
The old adage is that the most improvement in football happens between games one and two. It is there that Georgia Tech holds an advantage over UCF. Still, the Golden Knights have a veteran roster, and that experience is valuable in a game such as this. How much will the Yellow Jackets improve, and will the Golden Knights be rusty? That's the story of this week two matchup.
Line Movements
The line has stayed true at Central Florida -7.5, despite Georgia Tech grabbing 58% of the bets.
The OU Line has gone from 62 up to 63, despite the Under getting 56% of the bets.
Gametime Weather: Cloudy with temps in the upper 60s
Heupel's Squad Ready For Another Strong YearThe University of Central Florida has supplanted Boise State as the "Cinderella" of college football and is now considered a perennial contender for a New Years Six Bowl. After head coach Scott Frost led the Golden Knights to a perfect 13-0 record in 2017 before bolting for Nebraska, the Knights hired Josh Heupel, who has gone a combined 22-4 in the past two seasons. Last season, the offense was second in the nation at 540.5 yards per game and fifth in the nation in points per game (43.4) while the defense led the nation in tackles for loss per game (9.0). Heupel's 2020 squad features 16 returning starters from that team.
Leading the way at quarterback is Sophomore Dillon Gabriel, who threw for 3653 yards and 29 TDs while throwing only 7 picks as a freshman. Otis Anderson led a trio of running backs with 726 rushing yards. Tre Nelson leads a talented corps of receivers, after picking up 830 receiving yards and seven touchdowns a season ago. Protecting Gabriel will be an offensive line that returns three of five starters. Graduate transfer (Tennessee) Marcus Tatum projects to fill a tackles position, providing stability at a crucial position.
Defensive coordinator Randy Shannon employs a defensive scheme designed to disrupt and pressure opposing offenses. Last season, the defense led the nation in tackles for loss despite not having a single player among the nation's leaders. The trio of DT Kenny Turnier, DE Tre'mon Morris-Brash, and LB Eric Mitchell combined to record 33.5 tackles for losses last season. Aaron Robinson, the Knights' best defensive player, leads a talented secondary that returns four of five starters from a season ago. That unit figures to be the strength of the defense.
Central Florida's Injury Report
Out: QB McKenzie Milton, OL Allan Adams, DB Tay Gowan, OL Adrian Medley, QB Darriel Mack Jr., LB Kalia Davis, OL Lamarius Benson, and DL Mason Cholewa
Yellowjackets Show Much Improvement in Season Opener, But a Bigger Challenge AwaitsGeorgia Tech head coach Geoff Collins finally got a signature victory, and it didn't take that long. After going just 3-10 a season ago, the Yellow Jackets came from behind to shock the Florida State Seminoles (and the nation) with a stunning 16-13 win in Tallahassee. The Yellow Jackets unleashed freshman Jeff Sims, who completed 24 of 35 passes for 277 yards and a touchdown while leading the rushing attack with 13 carries for 64 yards. Sims was poised in the face of a very good Florida State pass rush and made good decisions most of the day. Malachi Carter (6 rec., 66 yds, 1 TD) was Sims's top target. Sims did throw two interceptions, including one on his opening drive. Overall, the offense picked up 438 yards, which was the most in the Geoff Collins era.
FIRST career pick for @killerathlete59 💪— Georgia Tech Football (@GeorgiaTechFB) September 12, 2020
Watch now: https://t.co/Dw2CrypsG6#4the404 /// #GTvsFSU pic.twitter.com/zH4WEgF24D
The biggest improvement from 2019 came from the defense. After giving up 6.9 yards per play and allowing 10 points on the first two possessions, the defense locked the Seminoles down, allowing just 3.0 yards per play and 3 points over the final nine possessions. In all, Georgia Tech limited Florida State to just 307 yards while forcing three turnovers. The defense also recorded three sacks, led by Curtis Ryans's two fourth quarter sacks, the second of which resulted in a fumble that set up Georgia Tech's winning score.
There is still plenty of room for improvement for Collins's team, and they face an immense challenge against the highly ranked Golden Knights. Expect the Yellow Jackets to be a little sharper on offense this next week, but the defense may take a step back as they face a more potent offense.
On the injury front, Georgia Tech is expected to be without starting cornerback Tre Swilling and defensive end Antonneus Clayton, who missed the opener. Swilling suffered a foot injury before the season. He was an honorable All-ACC selection as a sophomore last season. Clayton was an expected starter at defensive end as a senior. The Yellow Jackets will also be playing without starting defensive tackle T.K. Chimedza, who is out for the season.
Georgia Tech's Injury Report
Out: DL T.K. Chimedza
Notable Trends
- Georgia Tech: 4-8-1 ATS in last 13 games
- Georgia Tech: 1-6 ATS in last six home games
- UCF: 6-1 in last seven games
- UCF: 3-7 ATS in last 10 games
The Bottom Line What to bet on this game.
Full-Game Side Bet
Last week, Georgia Tech was facing an opponent coming off a coaching change and a tumultuous offseason. While Tech showed much improvement over 2019, there were still many areas of concern to address. Sure, UCF has not taken the field yet this year, but with the amount of returners starting on both sides of the ball, that might not matter much. Look for the UCF defense to confuse and blitz Sims into Freshmen mistakes, and look for the potent offense to move the football consistently against a decent Tech defense. I like UCF by a couple touchdowns.
Prediction: UCF -7.5

Full-Game Total Pick
I like the UNDER here against a decently high total. For starters, the Georgia Tech offense is not nearly explosive enough to support this high a total. Secondly, UCF will be playing their first game of the year and could show some rust, especially against an improved Georgia Tech defense. The trends for Georgia Tech support the OVER, but this is a totally different team from last season.
Prediction: UNDER 60.5

On Writing Eros: Who I Read
Thus endeth another year... The other day I was discussing a bit about where I am taking this site going forward into 2014. Time to have some fun. I had mentioned Fifi was not coming back yet. Still true, although I did have another go at a re-booted (or re-pawed as the case may be) draft and still not happy with it.

Already working on the beginning concepts for a reworked first draft that may be my first post to the new meme I am hosting called A Darker Flame (posting Jan 1).

Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL)'s Project Loon has commenced testing in Indonesia and Sri Lanka after overcoming the risk of balloon pops.
The company went through a lot of trouble trying to find the right blend of materials that would be light enough to float in the stratosphere while at the same time affordable and durable enough to not burst. During the annual Ted conference in Vancouver, Astro Teller who is the head of Alphabet's X unit reported that they busted a lot of balloons. He also exhibited some of the balloon designs during the event.
Teller revealed that the ideal balloon that the team came up with after numerous tries, last year managed to travel around the world 19 times in more than 187 days. One of the three balloons in the project made its way into the Sri Lankan Airspace on Monday after being launched in South America. Muhunthan Canagey, the country's government's Chief of information and communications technology stated that Google was expected to carry out efficiency, controls and technical tests this week.
Sri Lanka previously made it clear that it did not plan to invest any finances in the project. However, the country will receive 25% stake in the project in exchange for spectrum allocated to the project. Teller pointed out that Project Loon is a major step towards faster connectivity speeds with notably higher speeds of up to 15 megabytes per second. Such internet connections are fast enough to stream content such as videos.
The benefits will also extend to the costs, where users will receive fasters speeds at lower rates. The project will also provide an opportunity for service providers to refine their services. The Sri Lankan government plans to enforce lower prices as well as the expansion of internet access to more areas of the country. Officials from the government revealed that each balloon will be in the air for around 180 days after which they will be recycled and sent back up.

The cost of tardiness in business or the workplace
More often in our overscheduled, overcommitted, and super hyper society, we get to observe tardiness as a constant behavior –however, people do not realize the individual and collective negative consequences of being late.

Welcome to France (UE)
European Union
(+ Switzerland, Monaco, Andorra and San Marino)
Welcome to France!
Ø You recently received mail from the Language Inspection Department (IPR*) if you are appointed in secondary schools, requesting that you quickly send back to the « Rectorat* de l'Académie de Lille » the detachable answer slip accepting or rejecting the post of assistant.
* see vocabulary notes at end of document
Ø This present letter contains your « arrêté de nomination », which is the official nomination paper. This document gives you the name, address, telephone number and fax of the school(s) you will be working in. If there are more than one, the first on the list is your main employer (établissement de rattachement) who will assist you in all administrative procedures.
v For those of you who receive a nomination in primary schools, your official paper will indicate the district (circonscription d'affectation) of which the different schools on your nomination paper are part. The reason for that is that secretaries are appointed to districts, not to schools.
1- QUICKLY get in touch with your future headteacher or district:
(Please note that most junior (collèges) and senior (lycées) secondary schools are closed from 13th July to 23rd August, districts and primary schools from the beginning of July.)
→ Write to or telephone the head of the first school on your nomination paper (beginning « Monsieur/Madame le Proviseur » for a lycée, « Monsieur/Madame le Principal » for a collège), to your district ("Monsieur/Madame l'Inspecteur") or to your "référent"("Monsieur/Madame"), or telephone. Introduce yourself and ask the questions you would like answered, for example:
· What sort of school(s) shall I be working in?
· How big is the school – how many teachers, how many pupils?
· What is the school's geographical and social environment?
· Has any partnership or twinning been established between the French school and one in my country? What other languages are taught in the school?
· Is the school on Internet? Has it got an E-mail address? Is there an « Assistants' File* » I can consult on arrival?
· Which is the most convenient airport and/or station for my workplace? How can I get to my workplace from Lille or Paris?
· Who should I contact on arrival? Can I have the name, address and telephone number and/or E-mail address of the « contact teacher* » in your school? When precisely should I arrive?
· What about accommodation?
2 - Official procedures to be completed before arriving in France.
1) Obtain an official translation into French of your Birth Certificate, indicating the first names and surnames of your father and mother. This document is required to register with the Social Security services.
2) Obtain your health European card (carte européenne d'assurance maladie – CEAM) ; this will act as justification of health/accident insurance coverage for the first four months of your stay in France. For the remaining months you will be covered by French Social Security (CPAM) or the MGEN. Before leaving, ask your embassy or consulate for a list of registered doctors and hospitals
An adequate sum of money:
To cover expenses until your first pay. You should receive an advance on salary at the end of October (about 700 €) as long as your main employer has completed the required procedures before 10th October.
Contact your main employer on arrival in France and if necessary request help from the school secretary.
- travel (both ways) is at your expense ;
- accommodation: you may have to pay a deposit ; it can't exceed one month's rent if the flat is not furnished and is part of the private housing sector.
If you rent through an estate agency, you will have to add fees.
(to give you an idea, the minimum rent for a studio apartment is 250 to 400€ a month).
The following administrative papers:
· your passport or identity card ; check the date and make sure they are valid.
· your nomination paper
· the official translation into French of your birth certificate ; it must indicate your parents' first names and surnames.
· your health European card (carte européenne d'assurance maladie – CEAM) ; justification of health/accident insurance coverage
· at least four passport-size identity photos (identical, recent and true to life, bare-headed, full-face, 35X45mm, black and white or colour)
· an international student identity card, if you have one
· you may add, a letter of recommendation from your bank
· car or motorbike insurance certificate, if you are bringing your own vehicle.
· vaccination certificates , if you have them.
A piece of advice : make several photocopies of these documents
On arrival in France
On arrival, you will have to complete a certain number of administrative procedures as quickly as possible. Your main employer or district will assist you; do not hesitate to ask for help or advice.
There should be someone in your main school, a contact person, usually a teacher, (professeur ressource or professeur référent), to assist you on arrival and help you organise your work.
You can also request the help of the "relay-teacher" in the Academy (professeur-relais académique*). Consult the academic web-site: http://www4.ac-lille.fr/~assistants . The name of this person will also be given to you during the introductory course at the beginning of October.
· Sign the « procès-verbal d'installation » given to you by your main employer (« établissement d'exercice » or « établissement / circonscription de rattachement »). This certifies that you are taking up your position and is essential if you want to be paid;
· Find accommodation (if you have not done so before arriving) and obtain an "attestation de logement" from the landlord;
- Your school secretary or your circonscription should be immediately told of any change of address during your stay in France; so should the Rectorat.
· Open a bank account in the bank of your choice and request 2 RIB (« relevé d'identité bancaire »), essential for payment of your salary.
· Subscribe to a civil liability policy (« assurance responsabilité civile ») which is compulsory in France.
· Have a medical check-up by a doctor affiliated to the National Education Authority, your school will give you all the required information.
· Fill in and give the following documents to your school so that the Rectorat can apply for your affiliation to the retirement pension scheme and prepare your salary file :
- photocopy of your passport or identity card (your country of birth must be clearly stated)
- « procès-verbal d'installation » (original, not a photocopy)
- salary information form duly completed and signed.
- an official translation of your marriage certificate.
If it is a renewal and your situation has not changed (marital status, particulars of your bank account …), the procès-verbal and the information form required for your salary will be sufficient
· On arrival (in October), apply for enrolment with Social Security, which is in France the organisation responsible for general health/accident insurance. You have to go to the office (« Caisse Primaire d'assurance maladie ») in the area you are living in (you may also choose to go to the MGEN – Mutuelle Générale de l'Education Nationale) with the following documents :
- photocopy of your « arrêté de nomination » plus passport or identity card
- work certificate filled in by the Rectorat (DEVEP), on your requirement (contact the Bureau des relations internationales)
- official translation of your birth certificate
- As soon as you get your definitive certificate concerning your Social Security number (also known as your INSEE number), please send a copy to the Rectorat, Bureau des Relations Internationales.
NB : Please note that, because of a coordinated healthcare pathway , you will have to choose a primary care physician (known as your médecin référent)when you enrol with Social Security. He/ She will be your primary contact in case of illness.
Some useful information concerning your work in France.
· Duration of contract : from 1st October 2010 for 7 or 9 months (see nomination paper)
· Weekly work obligation : You will work 12 hours a week. These hours can be completed in one or more schools (collèges or lycées) and in three when primary (see nomination paper). Your employer is the Rectorat ; should you be unable to justify your absence at your post, you would be asked to make lost hours up. Otherwise, a sum would be deducted from your salary.
· IMPORTANT. Please note that you are not allowed to work extra-hours unless you first ask for permission (ask for "une autorisation de cumul" before you accept any other job).
· School holidays: You will have the same holidays as French pupils and teachers, that is: 10 days at All Saints (end October – beginning November), two weeks at Christmas, two weeks in winter (February) and two weeks in spring (April). For the winter and spring holidays, France is divided into three zones, so everyone is not on holiday at the same time. Lille is in zone B.

* Vocabulary notes
Académie and rectorat : Metropolitan France is divided into 25 academies, each one consisting of a varying number of regions (« départements »). The Lille Academy (« l'académie de Lille ») is made up of the regions of the Nord and the Pas-de-Calais. The recteur of an academy is responsible for applying the educational policy laid down by the Ministry of Education. You will find the different administrative services of the academy in the rectorat which is in charge of the lycées, whereas the collèges and primary schools (« écoles primaires ») are managed in each region by the Inspection académique (with an Inspecteur d'académie at its head).
The Lille Academy is the most northerly; as regards the number of pupils and students, it is the second in France, just after Versailles.
IA-IPR: the job of the « Inspecteurs pédagogiques régionaux » in modern languages is to look after the teaching of these languages in the collèges and lycées.
Primary School: this is before the collège and there are five forms – CP, CE1, CE2, CM1 and CM2. Language teaching now involves all pupils in CE2, CM1, CM2, and is placed under the authority of the IEN (Inspecteurs de l'Education nationale), as are all other subjects.
District ("Circonscription"): this geographic area includes a certain number of primary schools and is placed under the authority of the Inspector (IEN).
The "référent": the person in the district or in the secondary school who is directly responsible for the assistant throughout the period.
Collèges and lycées : there are 4 forms in the collège, from 6ème to 3ème and pupils are aged from 11 to 15 on average ; they then attend the lycée for 3 years, from forms 2e to Terminale at the end of which they take the Baccalaureate.
The Assistants' file (« dossier de l'assistant(e) ») : consisting of contributions made by your predecessors in the school , it should give you practical information about the school, the neighbourhood, your work and so on.
The « contact » person: there should be someone in your main school, usually a teacher, to assist you on arrival and help you organise your work.
Relay-teacher in the academy: in the Academy of Lille, there are four teachers whose role it is to help you in case of a major problem or one that cannot be solved on the spot: two for English-speakers, one for German-speakers and one for Spanish-speakers. Assistants of other languages (Arab, Italian, Portuguese and Russian) can turn to any one of these teachers.
The « Préfecture »: this is the headquarters of administrative services in each region (« département ») and is located in the main town of each region: Lille for the Nord and Arras for the Pas-de-Calais (rue Ferdinand Buisson).

text: Don Schmeer was born on April 11, 1935 in Portland, Oregon. He attended the public schools in the area and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1953. Always intensely interested in the performing arts, he played clarinet all the way through high school, and graduated from Portland State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Music in 1957. After college, he served in the United States Army from 1957-59 and played in the 5th Army Band in Korea where his tent-mate was none other than composer John Barnes Chance (or "Barney", as Don called him). After the Army, Don taught Junior High School Band in Oregon. In 1960, Don left teaching to become an employee and eventually General Manager of Byron Hoyt Music Company in San Francisco. His knowledge of wind band repertoire and music education materials was legendary and second to none in the sheet music industry. He remained with Byron Hoyt Music Company in San Francisco for many years and became an ardent supporter of music education in California. He was recognized many times for his contributions in the world of music education. His awards included: CBDA Service Award – 1984 CODA/NSOA Service Award – 1988 CBDA Friend of Music Education Award – 1994 (Now known as the Don Schmeer Friend of Music Award) CMEA Outstanding Service to Music Educators Award – 1994 Who's Who in American Business – 1994 After Byron Hoyt (the original owner of the store and close mentor to Don) passed away, Don helped create the Byron Hoyt Outstanding Music Educator Award (now the Don Schmeer-Byron Hoyt Band Educator Award), given annually to an exemplary instrumental music educator by CMEA-The California Association for Music Education at the annual state conference. In his spare time, Don was an aficionado of Asian art, food, and culture, was a rabid fan of the San Francisco 49ers football team, and was a trivia buff of "Casablanca", a motion picture he dearly loved. After a long battle with cancer, Don passed away on July 19, 1994 and this scholarship fund was created in his memory. The Don Schmeer Memorial Scholarship Fund, established in 1996 by Bill Burke, Mark Troxell, and the late Dr. David Goedecke, is held in trust by the CMEA-The California Association for Music Education. The Fund provides support and encouragement for talented music students of limited financial means in grades 7-12. Awards are made to qualified students of CMEA members for summer music camp tuition and related expenses. Supporters of this fund include many individuals, music educators, schools, CMEA-The California Association for Music Education, the California Band Directors Association (CBDA), and other entities and music organizations. Lyle Stubson of San Luis Obispo is the current Administrator of the fund. Tax deductable contributions to this Memorial Fund may be made by individuals, organizations, and businesses by mailing their donations to: CMEF Don Schmeer Scholarship Fund 2417 N 11th Ave Hanford, California 93230 For more information please call the CMEA State Office and Trish Adams at (559) 904-2002 or email her at email@example.com.

The Associated PressThe Free Press and MPR News
MANKATO — South-central Minnesota's 15 new COVID-19 cases bring the region's total to at least 387 cases since the pandemic began.
The new cases were confirmed in Blue Earth, Nicollet, Waseca, Le Sueur and Martin counties, according to the Minnesota Department of Health. Brown, Watonwan, Faribault and Sibley counties had no new cases.
The region's new cases include:
• Six in Blue Earth County, which has had 93 total cases
• Four in Nicollet County, which has had 43 total cases
•One in Waseca County, which has had 21 total cases
• One in Le Sueur County, which has had 36 total cases
• Three in Martin County, which has had 123 total cases
Of Blue Earth County's 93 cases, 35 have recovered enough to no longer need isolation. The county has no reported COVID-19 deaths yet, but it has one long-term care facility with known COVID-19 exposures, Pillars of Mankato.
The state only lists exposures at long-term care facilities with more than 10 residents. Pillars of Mankato is one of five facilities where COVID-19 exposures have been identified in south-central Minnesota.
Statewide cases rose by 665 Tuesday, upping the state's total to 17,029 since the pandemic began. Of the 17,029 confirmed cases, 11,540 have recovered enough to no longer need isolation.
The state's COVID-19 death toll is now 748 after 17 more Minnesotans who had the illness were reported dead. Health officials warn the total could reach 1,000 by the end of May.
As the death toll rises, state officials say they'll roll out a plan Wednesday that will allow people back into Minnesota bars, restaurants and other public gathering places.
Details weren't available, but Steve Grove, the state's commissioner of employment and economic development, wrote on Twitter that state leaders will unveil "phased plans" for those high-traffic venues, which have taken a huge economic hit during the pandemic.
Even as they inch the state back toward normalcy — the state's two-month stay-at-home order came to an end Monday — officials continue to implore Minnesotans to wear masks outdoors and keep their distance from others.
Gov. Tim Walz has said he won't hesitate to re-tighten restrictions if coronavirus cases shoot up and hospitals come under strain.
He kept the stay-home order in place for nearly two months to check the spread of the disease and push back the expected peak so it would not overwhelm the state's health care system.
, one of his biggest fears. While deaths, case counts and hospitalizations are still growing, there are signs now that the strategy is paying off despite the economic pain it triggered.
Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm on Tuesday noted that the time it now takes for case counts to double is stretching out longer — about 13 days currently — helping to make the spread of the disease more manageable. Health officials say they're watching several key metrics to gauge if the disease is accelerating as restrictions are lowered. Among them: the number of days it takes for cases to double, the amount of daily testing, the proportion of positive tests and the level of community spread that can't be traced to specific contacts — an indication the disease might be more widespread.
The state continues to add investigators to contact those infected and work to reach others who might have had contact with them and might also be potentially infected.
Even as that tracing work intensifies, it's possible that many who became infected may never know the source of the infection given that people with no symptoms can have the coronavirus and unknowingly pass it on.
Despite the investigation and tracing efforts, "not everyone is going to be able to say 'I got it from Fred' or 'I got it from Frieda,'" said Kris Ehresmann, the state's infectious disease director. "For many situations, you may not know where you picked it up."
