Regarding the audience, he said, an open network
has a phrase that uses a lower frequency spectrum.
That's right--but it requires a crowd with a lot of capital.

The report came after a trading day in the face:
It'll be interesting to make commerce go faster for
better coverage and expertise to introduce a hand.

He acknowledged that there was a cold, hard slap.

It's rain spent on a soggy estate of linked umbrellas,

drenching the waterlogged dictionary

Another Terminator Plot

Robots at phony war. Relentless as a Schwarzenegger sequel.
You can’t kill those off—the movies, that is—their explosive
mixture of missiles and working-class novelty. Entertaining,

innovative destruction innocuous as a family conspiracy
on loan from a Stiller flick. The formula (for the robots’
holy war, that is): tough-minded men plotting to bomb

New York, to launch the United States’ salvation
on the Hudson River. It’s old hat, but this new take is
Terminator to death. And the paradox: what if we lose?

Some New Gesture

Peace talks held Derby constantly in terror. President Jordan
—US-backed, the finest of her gender—whipped the daylights
out of reporters, detainees, a prison director.

Her office is military; her photographs, immortal.
There she is in Damascus, tearing down a great arch.
That week she told New Nation the purpose abuse serves:

Geldings did something the Nobel Peace Prize never did.
In every war, some torture is ceremonial.
What a gal! that Jordan. Our enemies abide.

On Being Caught

He avoided birthday parties,
for who could know a human year?
As if people were recognizable in a television silhouette.

Instead, worried by the strain of simple hours,
retiring in evenings to celebrate with lights turned out

his wooden summers wore on a long-hand bench.
You cannot cover your steps, even barely,

Sure, it's possible, the research suggests (more or less),
for E. and O. to have swearing injuries. "These fractures
of the brain have mysterious patterns," a spokeswoman

says. "One overnight observation confirmed that women

than the 'Lost' stars or Edward Kennedy. Fractures

of the cheekbones and eye sockets released more fractures
under the brain, events that tend to cause swearing." Women

Outside The Test

We didn't think life would survive the elements.
It couldn't do it without the havoc of competition.
But none of it is any good if you don't have photosynthesis.

Can the Phoenix really be said to survive?
The weary earth itself has outlasted it.
We didn't think, but we didn't think we couldn't think.

I'm largely grateful for these sarcastic words.
I'm not looking for the Seven Rules of Knowledge,
I'm just processing a sample without the key.

Pregnancy engagement falling

Among the important issues raised by the pregnancy of Oregonian Thomas Beatie is whether a female-to-male transgender person who becomes pregnant might be endangering the fetus, especially someone like Beatie, who has been taking testosterone for at least 10 years. There's very little research on the subject to date, and some experts are at odds about it. Any possible damage done by 10 years of testosterone would be irreversible, he said.

Jamie Lynn Spears amped up her own engagement rumors Tuesday by showing off a sparkly rock during a Kentwood, La., coffee run. Of course, if it is an engagement ring, she's wearing it on the wrong hand. But those Spears sisters always have done things...uh, a little differently.

"It was like any other night," Raul Navaira, 40, said Wednesday.

Except it wasn't.

"The next thing I knew, I felt stuff falling over me," he said.

Nothing of Anything

On an afternoon almost wholly without incident,
an elderly man is entering a lions’ enclosure with

and suspects he is ill-equipped to prevent a mauling.
He is pleased with his makeshift defence, but for all the

gutsy endeavour the lions have the better of things.
In the evening, a nurse agrees that the man looks much
worse than before. He is moved to a cubicle with a door.
