I am glad I watched this. If the whole anime had been like this episode, it would have been my favorite series this season.
Generally I don't recommend sleeping together with friends of your preferred gender. Most people move randomly in their sleep, and it is all too easy to end up in a position that will be impossible to forget, even if nothing happens then and there.
That said, the two of them come across as very mature (which they also hint at by calling each other "old woman" and "old man").
I would say there is a form of love between Kyosuke and Manami, but it is all "ai" and no "koi". In today's western-influence Japan, this is probably considered a bad thing. I disagree with that actually. Friendship is more predictive of a long and happy marriage than passion is.
But even without marriage and the things associated with it, having a best friend of the opposite sex is a good thing. Men and women naturally fill each other's missing spots, so to speak, so having a close friend like this is good for one's happiness even if one is celibate.
I found the whole episode very pleasant. I wish there were more shows like this.

Erm... sure some toss in their sleep but not everyone. Due to circumstances, mainly travel, I had to sleep in the same room / bed as female friends and/or sisters. And no crazy anime hi-jinks going on, just normal everyday stuff.

Well, of course the grandparents were joking. Grandparents may be more laid-back about such things than parents, but I can't imagine they would encourage them to bathe together or sleep together if they thought there was an actual chance of them actually having sexual intercourse. They are still high schoolers after all. Emotional issues aside, you would not expect him to bring condoms when coming over to help carry stuff, so there is no way it would be acceptable even if the grannies were more liberal than a pair of hippies.
They probably thought of it as making nice memories that would bind them closer together, and they may well have succeeded.

Well that was kinda fun. Initially I never cared for Manami since she was a boring shy type girl, but at least she tries to tease Kyouske, something that a lot of this type of character never bothers trying.
I also laughed when they asked about the bath. SECRET WEAPON. Well, at least they know how to joke around with each other.
Also, I want to be like the grandparents and never grow up. They're pretty good trolls.

I have to agree with you on Manami though, I didn't really see her as anything but Moe-bait, that is until the moe was cranked up a couple of gears, I couldn't help it Manami did well in this episode and she ended up being less useless than I thought she would be I quite like her even more now.
Kirino was just hilarious this episode with her door-kicking and tsun tsun reactions to Kyousuke not being home for the day. Although this episode added some points towards Manami, I don't see her and Kyousuke getting romantically involved.
We've already been fed this "normal" lifestyle that Kyousuke supposedly desires and Kirino apparently offers the exact opposite of that. I can see where the writers are going with the symbolism here although it remains to be seen. I can only call it speculation from my part so I will wait to see how everything develops. We'll soon find out that "normal" and "safe" is not what Kyousuke actually desires as Kirino's antics gradually begin to effect and change Kyousuke. His development stems from Kirino's in my opinion so it will be interesting to see whether there is some sort of romance development between them, although admittedly I don't see them going that far in this first season.
Yes, I support Kyousuke x Kirino but I'm very open minded about romance in anime as long as it's done right. Since I doubt this show will go into such a delicate/serious topic as incest, they'll most probably go the route of no relation between Kyousuke and Kirino if romance does develop between them. Just to reiterate, this is just speculation

Although Kirino did say that, we shouldn't take it at face value. Just like we can't take Kyousuke's words about his desire for a "normal" lifestyle seriously, at least not until it is proven Of course I'm not saying you're wrong, you could very well be right to assume so but it remains to be seen

But I will say this; a common pitfall of many a story is that they insist on jamming a romance where it may or may not belong. *cough* *Angel Beats* *cough* I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but I just get the feeling it just feels so mandatory that it may mess up the connection between two characters. I just want writers to realize that you can have great and deep relationships with characters that doesn't have to be romantic love.

But I completely agree with you on this point. Angel Beats is probably a perfect example of that *sigh* That certainly felt "out of the blue," although I'm straying off-topic now
I just prefer romance in my stories if only for the chemistry between the main protagonists (romantic chemistry that is.) But I can certainly agree with the notion that it is not necessary for great development between characters.

I will make a wild guess, and say most recent anime target a "younger teenager" demography who may adore romantics too much. It's not a bad thing because i love romances too. But only when it's fitting...
And recent anime *cough*AngelBeats*cough* is a good example.

I loved the episode, just started watching this yesterday .
I liked ep 1-4, they were kinda funny and although kirino is acting in a way no normal human could actually accept I just thought of it as over the top anime way to show things. But episode 5 was so completly ridiculus It really shocked me. In the beginning I was sure I was actually watching a higurashi parody, this was screaming RENA so hardly. And the second half of the episode just felt completly wrong, morally wrong, illogical, just WRONG.
I can actually see where her friend was coming from and I think the main issue here is that the serie just puts "being otaku" and "playing games about having sex with your very underaged sister" into the same category, I can agree with one of those, the other one, well :/ But the second half still somehow worked til the point where her friend was crying in her arms, the conflict was there, was real, and their wasnt a real solution. The drama kinda worked. But then ?!?!?! The rest of the episode was completly ridiculus...
And then we ot this episode and after the last train wreck I loved it, very calming, cute, fun, instead of over the top ridiculus and stupid.
I think they already are together in their own kinda way, kyousuke made it pretty clear that he wont let her get together with someone else. But theyre comfortale around each other and dont need no *giggle* *blush* *he said we should marry* crap and this is why he was surprised at the lap pillow offer, because at their current pace it was kinda awkward.
He knows they kinda belong together, he just hastn realized/accepted it yet because hes so comfortable with her around, theres one scene where hes looking at her when she walks up the staits (or is he trying to peek ?) but then realizes what hes doing and gets irritated (how can anyone ignore this scene?) and I thought that was a pretty clear sign. He kinda knows theyll be together but just starts to realize that there is another side to it, not like when they were jokin around about taking a bath but a real one. Theres another scene where hes waiting in front of her door and making what I assume was some kind of dirty joke (I didnt get it xD) and then goes like "what am I saying?".
And then in the end hes like "dont worry, theres no one else and there wont be anyone else. But Im just happy the way everything is right now, lets not hurry and just keep it going like this, growing together slowly".
"If you truly fall in love with someone lust will be the last thing to dissapear"
Dont remember where I got this quote but I think it kinda fits here. They will be together, he knows fairly well whats going on and feels comfortable at their current pace, his family is completly insane and they have time, why hurry? They already ARE like an old couple anyway.
Absolutly loved this episode, it was cute and made me feel happy

UH Hilos Calton and Hammes contribute to award-winning encyclopedia on business and ethicsUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Hilo
Director Media Relations
Essays by University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo business college professors, Drs. Jerry Calton and David Hammes, are part of the recently announced award-winning Encyclopedia of Business Ethics and Society.
Calton is a member of the 36-person editorial board for the project, both editing and writing essays. Calton's essays focus on trust, stakeholder engagement, postmodern ethics, and ethics of dialogue. Hammes' essays address economic efficiency, welfare economics, Vilfredo Pareto, Pareto efficiency, the council of economic advisors, and unemployment. Calton and Hammes co-authored an essay that highlights the views of Adam Smith on the complementary roles self-interest and moral sentiment have in balancing the insights of ethics and economics.
The five-volume Encyclopedia on Business Ethics and Society is selected as one of only two "outstanding" titles for 2008 by the Reference and Users Association of the American Library Association. Seven others are deemed "noteworthy." Titles in these categories are judged to have useful content and appropriate for medium- to large-sized academic and public libraries.
The encyclopedia also received a Choice Award, being on the Outstanding Academic Titles list from Choice, Current Reviews for Academic Libraries, a publication of the Association of College and Research Libraries, a division of the American Library Association. Outstanding Academic Titles are viewed to be the "best of the best." This year's list includes 679 books and electronic resources chosen by the Choice editorial staff from 7,190 titles reviewed by the journal.
The encyclopedia is an authoritative work that emphasizes ethics in strategic management, corporate governance, and organizational culture, reflecting the research interest generated by such corporate scandals of Enron and the ensuing congressional legislation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Compiled by Robert W. Kolb, a professor at Loyola University of Chicago, the five-volume encyclopedia represents the combined effort of Kolb, his editorial board of distinguished scholars, and numerous experts from the fields of business ethics, economics, and law from around the world.

Soap Opera Digest spoke with Claywell about the rumors.
In response to the rumors that it was one actor's partying and the other's busy schedule that led to them being let go, Claywell laughs, "It's so false it's slander. Scott and I were nothing but professional and completely 100 percent dedicated to our work."
Claywell had more to say to Sara Bibel.
There was a column in TV Guide Canada that alleges that you two were written off for performance issues. I wanted to give you the opportunity to respond to that.
Scott informed me of that yesterday. It's amazing to me that two people can put so much of their heart into a story that can be so passionate and serious and tell a story as honestly and as truthfully as we tried to and just open our hearts to the world and just try to make a difference, try and touch people and stories like this will come out that are absolutely, 100% false. I'd love for anyone to watch one day of any of the work we've done and tell me that Scott and I were not 100% committed to what we were doing. We were so dedicated to our work. It's hurtful. I'm really offended that someone would make completely false claims. I'm angry. It's slander.
It struck me that if you were being unprofessional, you probably wouldn't have gotten an Emmy pre-nomination.
One of the last days that Scott and I worked together, the argument scene that just aired two weeks ago when I had the DNA test, we had all these scenes that were from different episodes, 41 pages of dialogue that Scott and I filmed in maybe an hour and a half. We work so methodically together and so well together. We would film scenes in one take like everybody does. You ask the directors we worked with. The fact that you can spend a year and a half pouring your heart into a story and one person with one article can try to bruise that reputation you have, it's disheartening and it's offensive.
Scott Evans responded on Twitter earlier today:
Such a bummer what all of this is turning into. I will continue to respect the decision but will remain unhappy with the tactics.
Meanwhile, fans are up in arms and have formed websites, planned rallies and are determined to let ABC know how they feel.
Marlena De Lacroix has weighed in with a new piece titled "Kiboshing Kish: Betrayal and Malfeasance" posted today.
We Love Soaps' Damon L. Jacobs wrote a great feature last week on the current state of Gays in Daytime. Read it here.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Whether it's the Orange Bowl or playing at home, No. 11 West Virginia is comfortable with scoring a point a minute.
Geno Smith threw for 323 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Mountaineers to a 69-34 win over Marshall on Saturday in the Mountaineers' highest-scoring opener.
West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen will have plenty of things to tweak after the opener. Just not his quarterback's play.
Smith kept the momentum going from his six-TD performance from the Orange Bowl, when West Virginia beat Clemson 70-33.
The senior completed 32 of 36 passes without an interception and set a school record for career completions and touchdown passes before sitting out most of the fourth quarter.
"Really pleased with how Geno played," Holgorsen said. "He's done a great job of taking care of the ball, a great job of leading the team."
In the final scheduled game between the state's only Bowl Subdivision teams, West Virginia's points surpassed a 66-22 win over Richmond to start the 1958 opener.
The 103 total points easily were the most since the series with Marshall resumed in 2006.
The Mountaineers totaled 655 yards, more than any game last year, and got the production they sought from their running game.
"It's about as balanced as you can possible be," Holgorsen said. "We spread the ball around to a lot of people."
Shawne Alston ran for 123 yards and two scores. The Mountaineers compiled 331 yards on the ground against a Marshall defense that limited WVU to 42 a year ago.
"They weren't one-dimensional at all," said Marshall coach Doc Holliday. "They were able to run it. They were able to throw it. Unfortunately we didn't get them in the punt formation enough."
Smith had TD tosses of 32 and 5 yards to Stedman Bailey, 6 yards to Tavon Austin and 9 yards to J.D. Woods.
Bailey caught nine passes for 104 yards and Austin had 10 catches. His touchdown grab was set up by a 70-yard run around left end.
Smith now has 651 career completions and 60 TD passes. Marc Bulger held the old school marks of 630 completions and 59 TDs set from 1996-99.
� No. 15 Texas 37
Wyoming 17
AUSTIN - Joe Bergeron and Malcolm Brown both rushed for more than 100 yards and combined for three touchdowns, leading No. 15 Texas to awin over Wyoming.
Texas quarterback David Ash, who won the starting job over Case McCoy in training camp, was an efficient 20-of-27 passing for 156 yards and a touchdown to Jaxon Shipley.
Bergeron had 110 yards and scored Texas' first touchdown on a 1-yard run in first quarter. He put the game away with a 17-yard TD in the fourth. Brown ran for 105 yards for Texas (1-0).
Robert Herron had touchdown catches of 82 and 22 yards for Wyoming (0-1). Cowboys quarterback Brett Smith passed for 276 yards but threw two interceptions in the second quarter that set up Texas touchdowns.
� No. 19 Okla. State 84
Savannah State 0
STILLWATER, Okla. - Jeremy Smith and Desmond Roland ran for three touchdowns apiece, Wes Lunt completed all 11 of his passes in a brief first outing as the new starting quarterback as the Cowboys beat outmatched Savannah State.
The defending Big 12 champions drove for touchdowns on their first five possessions to take a 35-0 lead late in the first quarter, and then used the rest of the game as a scrimmage to get playing time for their reserves.
Joseph Randle ran for 107 yards on just six carries and Roland added 104 yards rushing as Cowboys opened with an all-too-easy victory after losing stars Justin Blackmon and Brandon Weeden in the first round of the NFL draft.
� No. 22 Kansas State 51
Missouri State 9
MANHATTAN, Kan. - Collin Klein threw for 169 yards and two touchdowns, John Hubert ran 95 yards for a fourth-quarter score and No. 22 Kansas State pulled away late..
Hubert finished with 152 yards rushing, Braden Wilson and Daniel Sams added touchdown runs, and Tramaine Thompson returned a punt 89 yards for another score as the Wildcats (1-0) tuned up for next week's showdown with Miami with an impressive second-half scoring binge.
� Iowa State 38, Tulsa 23
AMES, Iowa - Steele Jantz threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score as Iowa State beat Tulsa to win its ninth opener in 10 years.
Shontrelle Johnson added a career-high 120 yards rushing for the Cyclones, who scored 24 straight points and held off a late rally by the Golden Hurricane.
Jantz threw and ran for second-quarter touchdowns to help Iowa State move ahead 24-16 at halftime.
� Kansas 31
South Dakota State 17
LAWRENCE, Kan. - Tony Pierson rushed for two touchdowns, Dayne Crist connected with former Notre Dame teammate Mike Ragone on a short touchdown pass, and Kansas launched the Charlie Weis era with a victory over South Dakota State.
Weis, a winner of three Super Bowls as a key assistant coach at New England and former head coach at Notre Dame, brings his considerable prestige to a program that won just five games the previous two seasons and ranked dead last in defense among major colleges last year.
His first game started with a jolt. Zach Zenner gave the Jackrabbits a 7-0 lead with a school-record 99-yard run.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced today that it is part of the first public-private partnership to promote medical device regulatory science with a focus on speeding the development, assessment, and review of new medical devices.
The new Medical Device Innovation Consortium [1] (MDIC) is an independent, nonprofit corporation, created by LifeScience Alley [2] (LSA), a biomedical science trade association. The MDIC will receive input from industry, government, and other nonprofit organizations. MDIC will prioritize the regulatory science needs of the medical device community and fund projects to help simplify the process of medical device design and pathway to market for these innovations.
Regulatory science – the science of developing new tools, standards, and approaches to assess the safety, efficacy, quality, and performance of FDA-regulated products – is critical to the medical device industry and to public health. Advancements in regulatory science not only aim to improve how products are developed and evaluated, but also could reduce the cost and time it takes for a promising device to come to market. For example, a computer model might be developed to test an implant on a virtual patient before a manufacturer spends the time and budget to study that product in a clinical trial.
The MDIC will bolster the country's investment in regulatory science research by pooling people, funding, resources, and ideas to develop new tools, models, and methods that may be utilized to better and more efficiently evaluate new devices. FDA staff may collaborate with the MDIC on MDIC-supported research and other projects.
"By sharing and leveraging resources, MDIC may help industry to be better equipped to bring safe and effective medical devices to market more quickly and at a lower cost," said Jeffrey Shuren, M.D., J.D., director of the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health.
The FDA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, protects the public health by assuring the safety, effectiveness, and security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological products for human use, and medical devices. The agency also is responsible for the safety and security of our nation's food supply, cosmetics, dietary supplements, products that give off electronic radiation, and for regulating tobacco products.

An Investigation of the Possible Effects of Favored Contexts in Second Language Vocabulary Acquisition
It is widely agreed that much second language vocabulary learning occurs while the learner is attentively engaged in the process of reading and interpreting the texts encountered. It is also argued that to understand vocabulary learning linguists cannot limit the investigation of the process of vocabulary learning to word meaning (Gass, 1999). Since many questions remain unsettled in this domain, this study was conducted in the context of TEFL to investigate the effect of teaching vocabulary through its use in contexts in which learners have an interest versus contexts in which they are not that much interested. It, therefore, examines the impact(s) of contextual vocabulary learning and attempts to have a comparison of the effect(s) of the role of favored contexts as opposed to disfavored contexts. The experiment involved two groups of twenty-five male Iranian participants aged from 15 to 25 at the intermediate level in an Iranian English language institute. All things considered, a pretest-posttest control group design was determined to check the accuracy of the researchers' hypothesis in a short-term treatment through the application of reading comprehension tests (RCT). As a result, the overall findings support the initial idea that second language vocabulary acquisition (SLVA) is better achieved through the use of favored-contexts.

Bulwark Announces First Recipient Of Aaron Seever Sales Scholarship
Bulwark Announces First Recipient Of Aaron Seever Sales Scholarship
Bulwark Announces First Recipient Of Aaron Seever Sales Scholarship
We all remember our college years. We lived with not a whole lot of money. Some of us took a few odd-end jobs just to be able to buy food for the week or fill up our tanks with gas. As Bulwark seeks to support those with a dream, we recently created the Aaron Seever Sales Scholarship to identify and reward an upcoming salesperson who has shown the same kind of grit and dedication on which Bulwark Exterminating was founded. It is our pleasure and honor to name Jordan Faiella of Central Florida University the first recipient of the Aaron Seever Sales Scholarship. Jordan wins $500 which he intends to put towards his education and also an iPad Mini.
Let's meet our winner!
Jordan is currently a freshman at UCF and as a part of his application essays, recounted a time when he was in high school and looking for a way to raise money that would be spent on his college tuition. He decided to make and sell low-cost breakfast items to students that would momentarily be taking the SAT exam. In his own words... "The only way to earn money would be through old-fashioned entrepreneurship. That's when the dreaded SAT, usually a harbinger of death, became a ray of hope in my dim financial future. I decided to sell the anxious test takers nutritious, brain-power snacks before the test at the high school-friendly price of one dollar. While it cost me more than a dollar on most of these items, I correctly predicted the sheer volume of the people who would buy them would cover the cost. Doing the stand every month the SAT was administered, I was able to rake in about $250 per test, over seven tests, resulting in a profit of over $1,700." So where did Jordan find this type of inspiration? "Rockefeller. Gates. Buffet. Men known for their great fortunes, but what they should be known for is their work ethic. They started their careers as salesmen, selling their respective products - oil, software or stocks. Their dogged determination to sell these products changed the world and I hope one day to do the same." From among nearly 600 scholarship applicants, we felt Jordan's essays most accurately displayed the hard working ethic that continues to drive Bulwark as one of the largest family-owned pest control companies in the country.
The Aaron Seever Scholarship.
Aaron Seever is a co-founder of Bulwark Exterminating. Before creating Bulwark, he worked as a door-to-door sales representative at another nationally known pest control company. There, he broke nearly every sales record in their books. As a result, he was asked to help rewrite the sales curriculum for that company, which is the same material used to this day. Aaron still oversees Bulwark's recruitment and development of its sales staff, and does so with a hands-on approach, oft times personally recruiting specific individuals that he identifies to represent the face and brand of Bulwark. "True salesmanship seems to be a lost art these days," says Aaron. "High quality salesmen and women are the most underrated employees we have in our country. They are the faces and voices of our brands. They are not just selling product. They are selling the value and experience of our companies in a one-on-one relationship building experience." Congratulations, Jordan! You earned it!

A few days ago, I went to prepare a couple eggs for Bob's breakfast. I thought to myself that I really should poach them for the healthiest prep possible, but I was in a time crunch and didn't really have the extra five minutes to wait for water to boil on my ancient Jenn-Aire electric stovetop. And that led me to thinking of Bob Ross' post about poaching scrambled eggs and somehow that led me to think of poaching a fried egg. That is, instead of the full immersion of poaching or the full fat of skillet frying , why not poach-fry the egg in a puddle of water just deep enough to float the egg, seasoned with butter and salt, but wherein most of the butter calories and cholesterol would stay in the skillet?
So I tried that. "Pried" would not only be an accurate way to describe the combination of 'poached' and 'fried', it also describes how the egg came out of the pan. Too little water (about 1/4 c)--it cooked out of the pan and the egg stuck to the dry stainless surface (it's a tiny 6" All-Clad skillet).
So this morning I tried again. Same 1/8" slice of butter, more water (about 1/2 inch in the bottom of the pan), slightly lower heat, salt on the egg once it was in the pan. Cooked on one side about two minutes with a little tilting and basting, then flipped for about 20 seconds to set the top, then flipped upright onto the warm plate. There was about 1/4" cup liquid left in the skillet.
Bob, unaware that I had been experimenting with his food this week, volunteered, "What did you do to these eggs? These are GREAT!" I served them with a nuked square of the tomato-oniony Potatoes Chanteduc that I posted about yesterday and a little cup of peeled ruby grapefruit segments.
His conclusion: superior to either fried or poached. Namely: 1) firm, well-cooked white with perfectly undercooked yolk, 2) not greasy, 3) pure egg flavor with an infused mild salt flavor as if the egg were salted in utero, and 4) and not watery or "sac-y"--Bob's description for the jellyish texture of the white on a poached egg which, unbeknownst to me until this morning, he has never cared for. He just "put up with it" in the belief that poached eggs were healthier and that was the trade-off that had to be tolerated.

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel informed President Barack Obama of the latest sexual assault allegations against a soldier who was assigned to prevent such crimes — the second soldier involved in similar accusations — and the president made clear he wants that behavior stopped, officials said Wednesday.
Hagel spokesman George Little told reporters that Hagel's staff is working on a written directive that will spell out steps aimed at resolving a problem that has outraged lawmakers.
"The president has made very clear his expectations on this issue," Little said, adding that Hagel told Obama on Tuesday about the allegations facing an Army sergeant first class at Fort Hood, Texas. The sergeant is facing allegations involving three women, including that he may have arranged for one of them to have sex for money, according to a defense official.
The accused soldier, whose name has not been made public, was assigned as a coordinator of a battalion-level sexual assault prevention program at Fort Hood. He has been suspended from all duties but has not been charged with any crime.
Little said Hagel and Obama see the sexual assault problem in the same light.
"They expect prevention measures at all times, and when prevention isn't achieved, then both expect accountability," Little said. He said those are the "core principles" of Hagel's approach to resolving the problem within the military.
The allegations at Fort Hood are only the latest in a string of cases. A defense official in Washington said it was not yet clear if one of the three women was forced into prostitution.

The official, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter, said that the sergeant is also being investigated for allegedly sexually assaulting one of the other two women. The allegations involving the third woman were not known.
The case, along with another one involving an Air Force officer, highlights a problem that is drawing increased scrutiny in Congress and expressions of frustration from Hagel. Lawmakers said it was time for Hagel to get tough with the military brass.
"This is sickening. Twice now, in a matter of as many weeks, we've seen the very people charged with protecting victims of sexual assault being charged as perpetrators," Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said. "It's an astonishing reminder that the Pentagon has both a major problem on its hands and a tremendous amount of work to do to assure victims — who already only report a small fraction of sexual assaults — that they are changing the culture around these heinous crimes."
"Secretary Hagel needs to act swiftly to re-examine sexual assault services across the department to ensure that these disturbing betrayals of trust are ended," Murray said.
Hagel said he was directing all the services to retrain, re-credential and rescreen all sexual assault prevention and response personnel and military recruiters, spokesman Little said after Tuesday's announcement that the Army sergeant was accused of pandering, abusive sexual contact, assault and maltreatment of subordinates.
The soldier was being investigated by the Army Criminal Investigation Command. No charges had been filed, but officials say they expect them fairly soon.
Little said Hagel was angry and disappointed at "these troubling allegations and the breakdown in discipline and standards they imply." He said Hagel had met with Army Secretary John McHugh and ordered him to "fully investigate this matter rapidly, to discover the extent of these allegations and to ensure that all of those who might be involved are dealt with appropriately."
The Fort Hood soldier had been assigned as an equal opportunity adviser and coordinator of a sexual harassment-assault prevention program at the Army's 3rd Corps headquarters when the allegation arose, the Army said.
"To protect the integrity of the investigative process and the rights of all persons involved, no more information will be released at this time," an Army statement said.
House Armed Services Committee Chairman Howard P. "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif., said in a statement he was "outraged and disgusted by the reports out of Fort Hood."
McKeon, noting he has a granddaughter in the Army, said he saw "no meaningful distinction between complacency or complicity in the military's latest failure to uphold their own standards of conduct. Nor do I see a distinction between the service member who orchestrated this offense and the chain of command that was either oblivious to or tolerant of criminal behavior. Both are accountable for this appalling breach of trust with their subordinates."
He called on Hagel to conduct a review of the military and its civilian leadership "to determine whether they continue to hold his trust and his confidence to lead in this area."
Just last week an Air Force officer who headed a sexual assault prevention office was himself arrested on charges of groping a woman in a Northern Virginia parking lot.
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said his panel was considering a number of measures to counter the problem, including changes to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and will act on them next month.
"Tragically, the depth of the sexual assault problem in our military was already overwhelmingly clear before this latest highly disturbing report," Levin said.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., said she intends to present new legislation on Thursday to overhaul the military justice system by removing chain-of-command influence from prosecution of sex abuse crimes.
"To say this report is disturbing would be a gross understatement," Gillibrand said.
"The sad thing is that this is not a unique case," Anu Bhagwati, former Marine captain and executive director of the Service Women's Action Network, said in an interview. "Week after week, we're hearing of cases across the branches of military leaders taking advantage of their positions of authority."
The Pentagon is struggling with what it calls a growing number of sexual assaults across the military. In a report last week, the Defense Department estimated that as many as 26,000 military members may have been sexually assaulted last year, based on survey results.
Of those, fewer than 3,400 reported the incidents, and nearly 800 of those simply sought help and declined to file formal complaints against their alleged attackers.
There also is an ongoing investigation into more than 30 Air Force instructors for assaults on trainees at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, as well as the recent arrest of the Air Force's head of sexual assault prevention on charges of groping a woman.
An Arlington County, Va., police report said Air Force Lt. Col. Jeffrey Krusinski was drunk and grabbed a woman's breast and buttocks in a parking lot earlier this month. The woman fought him off and called police, the report said. A judge has set a July 18 trial date for Krusinski.
Such cases and two recent decisions by officers to overturn military juries' guilty verdicts in sexual assault cases has precipitated a storm of criticism on Capitol Hill.
Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., is holding up the nomination of Air Force Lt. Gen. Susan Helms, tapped to serve as vice commander of the U.S. Space Command, until McCaskill gets more information about Helms' decision to overturn a jury conviction in a sexual assault case.

Report: Kill Switch Could Save Americans $2.6B Annually
Whether you're for or against mandatory kill switch technology in smartphones, at least one study says such a feature could saved consumers bundles.
According to a study conducted by Creighton University Professor Dr. William Duckworth, kill switch technology could save Americans up to $2.6 billion per year by reducing the amount they pay in smarpthone insurance and hacking away at the amount they actually pay to replace lost or stolen devices.
Duckworth's reasoning begins with Americans spending about $580 million per year replacing stolen phones and another $4.8 billion per year paying for premium cell phone insurance from their wireless carriers.
"If the Kill Switch significantly reduced cell phone theft, consumers could save about $580 million a year from not needing to replace stolen phones and another $2 billion a year by switching from premium cell phone insurance (offered by the wireless carriers) to more basic coverage offered by third parties such as Apple and SquareTrade," Duckworth writes in a summary of the report.
Part of Duckworth's methodology involves conclusions that he extrapolates from a survey he conducted of over 1200 cell phone users, as well as figures from ComScore and Consumer Reports.
"My research suggests that at least half of smartphone owners would in fact reduce their insurance coverage if the Kill Switch reduced the prevalence of cell phone theft," Duckworth said.
The study comes on the heels of new legislation introduced last month that would require all phones sold in the U.S. to have a "kill switch" theft deterrent device installed.
The idea is that such technology would eliminate the incentive for thieves to target phones. The FCC estimates that one in three U.S. thefts involve cell phones.

Skip to comments.Saddam Hussein's torture doctor has been working in British hospitals for SEVEN years
Posted on 07/02/2011 11:26:37 PM PDT by Nachum
A doctor involved in horrific torture by Saddam Husseins henchmen is working in British hospitals.
In an astonishing immigration scandal, border officials have allowed the suspected war criminal to treat thousands of British patients.
Dr Mohammed Kassim Al-Byati was given a permit to work as a doctor in the NHS by the Labour government in 2004.
Checks failed to uncover his history of working for the notorious Iraqi Intelligence Agency, which ran the country in a reign of terror during the Saddam years.
His job was to patch up torture victims so that they could be subjected to more appalling treatment.
In 2007, Al-Byati contacted the Home Office to confess to his horrific past so that he could claim asylum.
But, incredibly, this did not prevent him from carrying on earning tens of thousands of pounds working at a hospital in Wales.
Even now, despite his file being referred to a specialist war crimes unit, he remains cleared by the General Medical Council, and has been working in the West Midlands.
The details have only now been unearthed by Home Secretary Theresa May, who was horrified to discover what had been taking place.
She has ordered an urgent inquiry, and is planning changes to the rules to stop any similar cases slipping through the net.
There will also be a shake-up of the UK Border Agency war crimes unit. Whitehall sources say the case shows the total shambles which UKBA became under Labour.
At its heart lies the Human Rights Act and a little-known EU directive which permitted the doctor to work even when his past was known.

Anyone still liking the British health system?
Calling Dr. Mengele. There is a job available for you in England.
This guy really belongs in the British health system
The NHS jokes just write themselves...
England can't be that stupid can they?
He can write his own ticket for a job in Obama's cabinet. How about "Safe Brain Surgery Czar." If he won't accept that he could head up Obamacare.
there is no England anymore
Torture and dental work. The two things British health care doesn't cover.
The lucky ones die.
Funny - I thought he'd obtained employment at my dentist's office....
England is an island and it's still getting invaded. WTF. . . ? And I don't mean win the future.
And the best thing is, we can get you in to see him right away. No wait.
Great, Britain!
Firing someone because they once worked for a bad organization would most likely disqualify every member of Obama's administration.
It might even be racist. No. I am sure this is racist. Or anti islamic or mohammedphoophic.
Bush's fault. If he had not invaded Iraq this fine muslim doctor would still be helping the free citizens of Iraq.
"mohammedphoophic"? lol
The joke is on England. And, to think, they still have Michael Savage banned from their country.
Considering the state of the UK health care system, how could they tell?
In an astonishing immigration scandal, border officials have allowed the suspected war criminal to treat thousands of British patients.
Well, they do have a shortage of doctors, so a port in any storm.
The Brits don't know one savage from another!

When KDE 4.0 was first released, it was met with quite some criticism. Even though people saw the huge potential, the lack of functionality and stability, as well as quite a few bugs detracted from the experience. The KDE developers continued to work on implementing their relatively radical vision, and with the release of KDE 4.2 creeping ever closer, it seems they're well on their way.

Mom to Mom
I work from home full-time and my husband works out of the house full-time. We get up with the kids in the morning, my husband takes our son to daycare, I take my daughter to Kindergarten, and then I sit at my little desk in our bedroom office, warm coffee in hand, dog curled at my feet. For a split second, there is a little peace and quiet and I inhale the moment. And then it's over.
I furiously type, read, edit, mark, preview, e-mail, correct, conference call, webinar, and work my tushie off until I go get our daughter at 3 pm and take her to Crossfit with me. Then we go get her brother while my husband Crossfits. Sometimes we trade kids. Then we get home, make dinner, and finally eat as a family when he comes through the door from his workout, sweat-covered and red-faced.
But we're together. Exhausted sometimes, but together.
Even though the days are crazy and the evenings can be even moreso, having that meal together at the end of the day is something we plan our entire day and work schedules around. Especially having kids with food intolerances and a husband with Celiac disease, instilling healthy eating habits in our children is something we take very seriously, including the family aspect.
For us, even though one of us works from home, my job is no less significant than the spouse who works outside of the home or any parent who chooses to stay home and not work. You can not differentiate which is harder than which because the second you start throwing stones, you better move out of your glass house. Newsflash: parenting is hard, yo. Period.
So yes, it is hard for some people to eat healthy or make changes, especially for parents of young children, but you can get them involved. It is hard to get off the couch at the end of the day for a workout, or get out of bed for one before your kids wake up, because they see how you treat your body and will emulate you but staying active is vital to your health and your child's. It is hard to travel and eat healthy, but it can be done.
You can make a difference in raising a healthy, active child, even if you were like me and spent your entire childhood into early adulthood morbidly obese. Sometimes, the desperation at not wanting my daughter to have the unhealthy habits and life I did is what keeps me pushing day in and day out. Because, if nothing else we do in this life is worth it, they are.
Have you made any healthy changes in the right direction and noticed the ripple effect in your kids?
by BmatMay 1, 2012 at 2:14 PM
This is great! I am glad to hear that they are not only eating better but also enjoying exercise.
Quoting MamaBear2cubs:
As I become more health conscious I see my kids following suit. I also see them becoming more active and enjoying exercise which is great!

Ellison spares Shrimps blushes
Kevin Ellison maintained Morecambe's magnificent unbeaten away league run with a brilliant 82nd minute solo goal that salvaged a 1-1 draw at Torquay.
Ellison skipped away from the halfway line and raced towards United's goal, where he rounded home keeper Bobby Olejnik before slotting home.
It was a superbly-taken leveller and came only seconds after Morecambe had two off the line clearances.
Goalkeeper Barry Roche made a point blank reflex save to deny substitute Chris McPhee from six yards.
When McPhee followed up with a measured side foot towards the corner, Laurence Wilson made a superb goal-line clearance.
United had taken the lead through skipper and top scorer Lee Mansell in the 62nd minute after a bright start to the second half.
Billy Bodin, who rattled the bar with a shot in the last minute of the first half, split the visiting defence with a clever ball into the edge of the Morecambe penalty area, and Mansell swooped on the ball to sweep in his fifth goal off the inside of the far post and out of the reach of the diving Roche.
Late on, Roche made a great save to deny McPhee when he latched on to Bodin's wayward shot, and at the other end, Ellison blazed over the bar from the edge of the box.
Earlier in the half, dangerman Ellison forced a fantastic save from Olejnik before finally being rewarded with his cracking leveller.

"I sat there and actually had to read it a couple times because I didn't understand what it said at first," Republican Charles Callaghan of Ponte Vedra recounted to Buzz about the letter he opened Saturday. It claimed to be from the St. Johns County elections supervisor, informing him that elections officials had been informed he may be ineligible to vote and "registering to vote under fraudulent conditions or swearing a false oath are both third degree felonies in Florida."
It's an interesting twist on Florida's noncitizen voter purge, which was led by Republican Rick Scott, and was more of a threat to Democrats and independents. But now some outside group is trying to use the GOP-led effort against the GOP.
"We've received multiple reports of a fraudulent letter that impersonates supervisors of elections and indicates that eligible voters might be ineligible," said Chris Cate, spokesman for the Division of Elections. "We're working with the state's supervisors of elections as well law enforcement to identify the source of the letters and put a stop to them."
Cate said anyone receiving such a letter should contact their local elections office.
The postmark was from Seatttle Washington, as were other similar letters received across Florida.
The letters appear to be going mostly or entirely to Republicans in Florida.
"Our campaign is concerned with this situation and we are monitoring it closely," said Romney campaign spokesman Ryan Williams. "If anybody believes that they have received one of these letters, we urge them to contact their local election officials and the Florida Department of State."

McMurrin, assistant professor of philosophy, will discuss at the fifth LAS Wednesday lecture in the art and lecture room, University library at 3:15 p.m. today. "Progress in the solution of thc practical moral problems of society seems to depend to some extent on the possibility of clarifying the nature of scientific fact and of moral value, aijd the relationship, if there is any, between them," Dr. McMurrin said recently. He believes that the present moral crisis is the result of the wide margin existing between man's technical or scientific attainment in control of his environment and the effectiveness of his moral and spiritual idealism. Dr. Harold Van Hofe, head of the German department, is in charge of the lecture series which have been a feature of LAS since 1936. Yugoslav Hurls War' Charges LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. 12. d'.R)— Yugoslavia charged today that it was the victim of "major international acts of war" being organized in Europe's teeming displaced persons and refugee camps. The Yugoslav charges came in a UN committee hearing on top of a Russian demand for an investigation of the "harsh and arbitrary methods" used in camps, which are in the American and British occupation zones of Germany. Leo Mattes, lean-faced Yugoslav representative on the UN social humanitarian and cultural committee, shouted that "enemy" forces were forming in the camps "ready tc invade our country." DENOUNCES CAMPS He called the camps "centers of enemy activity'' for unnamed persons whose "sole purpose is to wage war against Yugoslavia ... To march with arms into Yugoslavia." Mattes said that "it is not only a question of preparing armies for a new war. There are schools for terrorists where sabotage is being prepared." Mattes, his voice rising to an excited pitch, made his charges in defending an amendment he had proposed to the draft constitution of the international refugee organization. The amendment would block resettlement of refugees in any state from which they did not originate if a neighboring state objected. RESTRAIN ELEMENTS Yugoslavia's interest, for example, would be keeping anti-Tito elements from settling in neighboring countries, such as Greece and Italy. The Arab states also support similar limitations in the IRO constitution so they can block Jewish resettlement in Palestine. Mattes withdrew his amendment temporarily on the understanding he could submit it again for incorporation in another part of the constitution.

During the broadcast, which will emanate from Hancock auditorium, the band will play Prelude and Fugue in G Minor, Bach; Second movement from Schubert's Unfinished Symphony; and Manx Overture, Hayden Wood. Members of the new band are requested by Gould to be present at a special dress reharsal in Hancock auditorium from 3:15 to 5 Wednesday afternoon. by Leo R. Moulton "Into each life some rain must fall, I suppose," said Bob Williamson, mechanical engineering major from Tulsa, "but why is it wetter in California than it is in Oklahoma?'' Being from the comparatively drj state of Oregon, myself, I couldn t answer that, so I swam on into the Sidling under a beautiful blonde s umbrella I looked into her big blue eyes and asked her about the rain. Then I picked myself up out of 't and went on. LET'S LEGISLATE "Rain?" queired Arthur Marine.-lo, psychology major from New York city, "I thought California had a law against it.' After being assured that all raindrops were Republicans and were definitely ''in" this season he said he couldn't seem to appreciate wet weather here like he could in New York because it was so unexpected. Marj Shrode, who works in the bookstore, said that the mists here can't compare with the hurricane in her native San Juan. P aerto Rico. She seemed just a bit disappointed. UP NORTH "The Montana rain comes only in the spring and is soft, exhilarating and beautiful," said Dan Mathi-sen, chemical engineering major from somewhere south of Missoula. "It's also good for the crops. Here, br-r-r-r." Tearing herself away from her coffee in the Student Union, Dale Tuffli, Alpha Phi from St. Lou'.s, said she thought it was a lot cleaner here than in Missouri. The rain, that is. "For something that isn't supposed to be in California, this stuff I see falling seems to be a lot like what we call rain in Michigan," remarked Anne Pearce, Pi Phi from Saginaw. HEAVY FOG Fada Bozant, journalism major fresh out of Baton Rouge, declared in a "wish I was in Dixie" voice that we were having just about tne heaviest fog she had ever seen, even in the Louisiana swamps. Another Louisianan. Adele Davis, secretary in the department of aviation medicine, swore that she liked rain but that nothing can compare with Louisiana. Feeling a touch of homesickness coming on, Ira Laufer, advertising major from Newark, N. J., said that the usual sight he was seeing m the skies was the first thing that had reminded him of home sines he had arrived. But he lamented the lack of subways to keep him dry. Several native sons whom I approached looked bewildered when I suggested that it looked like rain; assured me that someone was probably clouding the place up for a movie "take" and sent me away singing "Blue Skies," Biddle Code Gets Truman Indorsement WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. (U.E) — President Truman tonight indorsed a recommendation that the United Nations adopt a code of international criminal law to deal with all who wage aggressive war. In a letter to Francis Biddle, United Statee member of the Nuernberg military tribunal, Mr. Truman said the setting up of such a code "is a fitting task to be undertaken by the governments of the United Nations." Biddle suggested such action by UN in a report to the president on the Nuernberg trial. TRUMAN COMMENTS Mr. Truman, commenting on the report, said he hoped "we have established for all time the proposition that aggressive war is criminal and will be so treated." He said that the undisputed gain coming out of the Nuernberg trial was the "formal recognition that there are crimes against humanity." He said he was encouraged to learn from Biddle that "the dissent of Russia" was not on a fundamental principal of international law but over what inteferences should be drawn from conflicting evidence. NO DISAGREEMENT Biddle reported that Russia's dissent over the verdicts did not express any disagreement with the fundamental principles of international law. He added that he thought the differences over the inferences drawn from conflicting evidence were "extremely healthy." Mr. Truman said he was satisfied that the German defendants received a fair trial. "I hope we have established for all time the proposition that aggressive war is criminal and will be so treated," he said. He added that he agreed with Biddle that the "judgment of Nuernberg adds another factor toward peace." LEGAL TENDENCY "That tendency will be fostered if the nations can establish a code of international criminal law to aeal with all who wage aggressive war. The setting up of such a code as that which you recommend is indeed an enormous undertaking, but it deserves to be studied and weighed by the best legal minds the world over." He said that it was a "fitting task" for the United Nations. He said he hoped that the UN "will reaffirm the principles of the Nuernberg charter in the context of a general codification of offenses against the peace and security of mankind." Music Series To Spotlight Singer, Cellist Two student artists wno have a background of radio experience, Jeanne Cletus, cellist, and William Hoganson, vocalist, will participate in today's Music in the Afternoon concert scheduled for Bowne hall at 3:15 p.m. Hoganson began his singing career in high school, singing leading roles in two operettas. Alter extensive voice training, he participated in the "Old Fashioned Revival Hour," often referred to as the world's largest radio broadcast since it is a one-hour show and vs broadcast to points all over the world. STUDIED FRENCH IN ARMY A veteran, Hoganson spent three and one-half years in the army. During his military career, he played trumpet in an army band and was vocalist with a service orchestra. While in France, he was able to study French language and perfect his singing technique in that language, Will Renda, Trovet music director, stated. Hoganson will sing two songs in foreign languages, "Le Miroir," Ferrari, which will enable him to demonstrate his French singing technique, and "O Cessate," Scar-lati. in Italian. HANDEL SONG ON PROGRAM Other songs prepared by Hoganson -for the afternoon concert are Handel's "Where'er You Walk," which requires delicate phrasing and careful breathing technique, and the light, rollicking melody Sea Fever " Rogers. Miss Cletus, who has been playing cello sjjice she was 8 years of age, came to SC from. San Diego where she has been heard over local radio stations KFSD and KFMB. SYMPHONIC CELLIST At present she is cellist with both the Peter Meremblum symphony and the Julian Brodetsky ensemble. Last year she was chosen as cello soloist with the SC symphony orchestra. She played the very difficult Lalo Concerto at the orchestra's June concert. The prelude and allegro movement of this composition will be played by her at today's performance. "Valse Triste." one of Sibelius' most appealing works, will be played by Miss Cletus. This waltz was written by the Finnish composer to describe a myth in which a lonely dying woman is asked to waltz with a man who desires to make her last moments happy. "Valse Triste" is the woman's last dance. The allegro movement from Sonatina for Cello, Mozart, will also be played by the young artist. She will be accompanied by Miles Miller, College of Music student. TROVETS SPONSOR SERIES This concerts series sponsored by the Trovets, is beginning its second season. "The primary purpose of the scries is to enrich the cultural life of the university, and to create a greater interest in serious music," Jesse Unruh, Trovet president, commented. Renda who is extremely enthusiastic about these concerts, said that he hopes to continue the series in ever increasing quality and frequency. Dayton to Give Faculty Recital Reservations for Mrs. Margaret Dayton's faculty recital this evening may still be made at the office in the Music building and picked up at the box office outside Hancock auditorium before 8:15 p.m. A well-known soprano and member of the College of Music faculty, Mrs. Dayton will render a series of vocal numbers designed especially for her voice by Homer Simmons, California composer. The recital, to be held in Hancock auditorium at 8:30 p.m., offers an interesting and varied program. There is no charge for admission. I

Goedike to Supply Jive for Hay Hop
Marjorie Main Will Award Prizes To Hep-iest Jitterbugs at Dance
Music by Shirley Goedike's 16-piece orchestra, entertainment by Marjorie Main, movieland's moonshiny matron, and free cider, cokes, and potato chips are a few of the enticing features of the Hay Mow hop scheduled for Friday evening at 8:30.
"If you're lucky, further returns of your *1.20 bid will include a $10 credit card good at Silverwoods, and a gleaming Jitterbug trophy," stated Ray Scott, president of the Council of Religion and sponsor of the dance.
Goedike played trumpet arrangements for Dave Rose at the Santa Ana Air base during the war, and has just finished recording with Frank Sinatra and Dinah Shore.
Two lucky revelers are destined to receive pennies from heaven as the credit cards float down to the floor concealed among hundreds of balloons.
Miss Main, official judge of the Jive contest, will award the engraved trophies, donated by Phelps-Terkel and the Wagon wheel, to those she deems most help.
The informal all-university hop is an annual affair sponsored by the Council of Religion. Those assisting Ray Scott in planning the dance include Carole Crouch and Sid Adair, preparations; Harold Short, decorations; Bill Truitt, publicity; Carol Specht, bids; Davette De Arman, refreshments; and Julia Milli-kin, posters.
Bids will be on sale until Friday in the foyer or the ticket office of the Student Union.

The lights are on
Does anybody else really love the first tales of symphonia for gamecube?
I thought it was quite enjoyable. It was long and even though I didn't finish it, I still enjoyed what I did play.
One of the best RPG I played,it was great.too bad they ruined it with the 2nd.
Yah I love all the Tales series games. I did however like Tales of Symphonia 2 better than the first one. One main contributing reason for that however was the fact that I played it before any other Tales game. Despite that, I did really enjoy the GameCube Tales of Symphonia as well. It was quite a bit more challenging than it's successor but the challenge makes it all the more fun.
Life is all about finding out what life is all about.
Good luck friend.
I didn't play the second. Loved the first. Love the Tales series period.
I play every Tales game I can get my hands on. I can't get enough of that series. It's by far my favorite, next to Final Fantasy.

Orion's Giants [1]
Orion, the hunter, puts on a brilliant prime-time show at this time of year. The constellation is in full view, low in the east, soon after the sky gets good and dark.
To find it, look for a short line of three fairly bright stars standing straight up in the east. That's Orion's Belt. The constellation's two brightest stars line up to the left and right of the belt, roughly parallel to the horizon as they rise. The star to the left is Betelgeuse, while the one on the right is Rigel.
Both stars are supergiants. Betelgeuse is an orange supergiant, while Rigel is a blue supergiant, which means that Rigel's surface is much hotter. Both stars are larger and heavier than the Sun. As a result, they "burn" their nuclear fuel at prodigious rates, so they produce tremendous amounts of energy. That makes them very bright. In fact, both are among the dozen brightest stars in the night sky.
But this flashiness carries a big price. Since Rigel and Betelgeuse consume their nuclear fuel so quickly, they'll live fairly short lives -- in the millions of years, versus billions of years for our smaller, more sedate Sun. And both stars will end their lives with titanic explosions. For a few days or weeks, each of these exploding stars will outshine all the other stars in the galaxy combined.
In the meantime, look for these and the other stars of Orion beginning in early evening, and climbing high across the south during the night.

Thanksgiving is not far away, and a key part of a successful and festive feast is making sure the right wines are on your table.
Between roasting a turkey and mashing potatoes, Thanksgiving can be a stressful meal for the host, so not having to worry about the wine will be a relief.
With that in mind, here are eight wine tips for making Thanksgiving a successful event.
No. 1: Begin with bubbles. Sparkling wine is perhaps the most versatile of food wines, and fortunately for us, plenty of good bubbly is made in the Northwest. We suggest starting off your Thanksgiving feast with a celebratory toast. As a bonus, it will pair beautifully with most of the food on the table.
No. 2: Got (enough) wine? Be sure to have plenty of wine. Caterers will tell you to budget a half-bottle of wine per person. That might be a bit much, but a gathering of family and friends is a great time to share the wines you've selected for the meal. If you have several half-empty bottles by the end of the meal, it's easy enough to put a cork in them and enjoy the next day with the rest of the leftovers.
No. 3: Think pink. Rosés are deliciously bright and bursting with fruit aromas and flavors. Dry rosés in particular pair beautifully with turkey, mashed potatoes, salads and many other dishes on the table. Avoid white Zinfandel, which is little more than California Kool-Aid, and stick with a dry to slightly off-dry ros.
No. 4: Spice up life with variety. If a lot of family and friends are coming over for Thanksgiving dinner, you will have a lot of different palates around the table. Thus, try to provide many styles of wine. For reds, consider Pinot Noir or Sangiovese, both of which are versatile food wines. For whites, Riesling or Gewürztraminer can be enjoyed by occasional wine drinkers, while Chardonnay is America's favorite wine and has broad appeal.
No. 5: Put the cork in the Cab. Cabernet Sauvignon is the king of wines and the wine of kings, but it probably won't pair well with much on your Thanksgiving table. It's often a bold and tannic wine that will be better enjoyed with beef, so save it for your Christmas roast.
No. 6: In with the new. Are you saving an older red wine for a special occasion? Keep it in your cellar for a bit longer. Older wines are often delicate, and their nuances will be lost amid the din of a Thanksgiving meal. A special older wine should be the focus of a meal that is built around it. Instead, purchase newer wines with young, fresh flavors that will make this happy meal even more joyous.
No. 7: Get bogged down. Most wine snobs turn their noses up at fruit wines, but you'll need to trust us on this one: cranberry wine. A few Northwest wineries make cranberry wine from fresh coastal fruit (Westport, Heymann, Cranberry Road are three in Washington). They tend to be a bit sweet, and they go amazingly well with the Thanksgiving meal. You owe it to yourself to give this a try.
No. 8: Go sweet or go home. What are you serving for dessert? Pumpkin pie? Apple pie? Regardless, your dessert wine should be sweeter than the dish or they will clash. We suggest a British Columbia ice wine, one of the great wines in the world. Can't get to B.C. or afford $50 for a half-bottle? There are plenty of choices south of the border (Kiona and Chateau Ste. Michelle are just two). You'll get roughly eight little pours out of a bottle, so plan accordingly.

Alt, Franz. A Bell Telephone Laboratories Computing Machine--I+II. Washington DC: National Research Council, 1948. 1st edition. Mathematical Tables and other Aids to Computation, III/21 Original printed wrappers. Very good condition. $750.00
We offer the two issues of MTAC, with the complete article by Dr. Alt occupying pp 1-13 and 69-84. SCARCE.
"Between 1937 and 1946 engineers and scientists at Bell Telephone Laboratories built a number of digital relay computers, among the first working programmable machines anywhere. Their experience with the technology of switching-that second aspect of telephony-was the basis for Bell's entry into digital computing. But the first aspect-the transmission of analog voice signals-played a role too, as we shall see. The invention of the computer at Bell Laboratories, like its invention elsewhere, resulted from a convergence of technical skill, social need, and talent. Those preconditions were there by the mid-1930's. It remained for one of Bell's employees, Dr. George Stibitz, to serve as the catalyst to bring them together." Reckoners, Bell Labs, page 0074
On Franz Alt:
Dr. Franz L. Alt (born 1910 in Vienna, Austria and who lived to be 101 years old) was an Austrian born American mathematician who made major contributions to computer science in its early days. Franz Alt grew up in Austria and received a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Vienna in 1932, researching set-theoretic topology and logical foundations of geometry. He left Austria for the United States after the 1938 Anschluss. An avid skier, he served in the U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division during World War II reaching the rank of Second Lieutenant. After the war, he worked on the ENIAC and other Army computing projects; later he worked in the Computing Laboratory of the National Bureau of Standards, and eventually at the American Institute of Physics. He is best known as one of the founders of the Association for Computing Machinery, having served as its president from 1950 to 1952; he also wrote one of the first books on digital computers, Electronic Digital Computers (Academic Press, 1958).

SPRINGFIELD - Bay District School officials are about to begin major face-lift projects on two local schools. The Springfield Elementary School and Rutherford High School's renovation projects are funded by the half cent sales tax.
Part of the $4 million allocated for Springfield Elementary School will go to remodel the cafeteria into ESE classrooms. The rest will go to build a new cafeteria in the back of the school that will double as a multipurpose room with a music suite.
"The existing cafeteria right now is the cafeteria I actually ate lunch in when I was in 3rd grade at Springfield. So I am so excited we're getting a new cafeteria," said Harriet Taylor, Principal of Springfield Elementary.
Rutherford High School is getting $10 million for a new central heating and cooling system and to remodel hallways.
Principal Coy Pilson says the school hasn't seen renovations in a while.
"The last major renovation was actually new construction and that was the construction of our gym, but it's been quite some time since our classrooms have seen a major overhaul," said Pilson.
District officials say they couldn't afford to do this work, without the half cent sales tax.
"I just came back from a conference where districts that don't have a half cent sales tax are struggling to keep the lights on. We are very fortunate in Bay County. It's a true blessing for our kids," said John Bozarth, Director of Facilities for Bay District Schools.
Construction is expected to take about 18 months for both schools.
School board members are expected to approve the renovations at Tuesday's board meeting.

Preparing for the Next Challenge
The pattern has already been printed out, so I just need to do another quick read-through of it and get out the required needles before I am ready to go. Unfortunately I will be stuck at work on Friday when the opening ceremonies kick off, so I'll need to wait until Friday evening to cast on.
In the meantime, I am knitting furiously to try to finish what's on my needles, specifically my Grellow Peckish shawl. As of lunch today, I have 14 of 18 stripes done. I'm hoping to finish the four remaining by tomorrow night (knit night tomorrow should help) so that I have Thursday and lunchtime on Friday to finish the border and then can block over the weekend. The pattern is nearly done being tested and tech edited, so I'm hoping to get some photos of this version over the weekend in time for the pattern release (which I'm hoping will be mid-next week).
I also cast on for a quick hat for Rainbow on Sunday afternoon using some handspun from a few years ago. It was 4 oz. of Lorna's Lace wool top in the colorway Black Purl that I'd spun into a three-ply Aran weight. I'm knitting it up into a quick rolled-brim beanie, and I found a really cute pattern for a crocheted butterfly that I'm going to attempt to make to embellish the hat. This needs to be done by this weekend so I can get it to count as my last square for a special bingo at my LYS!

I love the colours in your Peckish shawl. That yellow just sings. Good luck with your Ravellenics. I'm starting my last Camp Loopy project so will be with you in spirit, but not in competition…
- Megan said...
I've run into and opening ceremonies time conflict for the Ravellenic Games, too! My best friend is coming in (from Pgh!!!) today and isn't leaving until Saturday afternoon. She is, sadly, not a knitter AND I can't concentrate on knitting with other people around. I'm competing in the cable steeplechase/sweater triathlon on one project - an Owlet (Kate Davies) sweater for DD - AND in the WIPs Wrestling to finish a Snug sweater for DS!
I LOVE the colorway of that Tosh and the shawl pattern is beautiful - good luck on it!
The Grellow Peckish is GORGEOUS. I can't wait to get my pattern when you're finished with it and am not leaning toward a Grellow Peckish of my own! I had to laugh, though, because on my monitor the colors looked Black & Gold at first! I think I have a very Pittsburgh-leaning mind...
Lastly (gosh this is the longest comment I've ever left on any blog) - your Black Purl handspun is GORGEOUS! That crochet butterfly is adorable (and makes me want to attempt to learn crochet again), and I cannot wait to see Rainbow's hat!!!
- Megan said...
Oops - that last comment should say "NOW leaning toward a Grellow Peckish of my own..." instead of "not leaning". I am leaning...very much leaning! But I'll probably swap the colors to make the small stripes yellow and the big stripes grey :)
