This has been a good year for local boys' cross country teams. On Saturday, Sept. 21, Borden's boys won the Crawford County Invitaional and the Eastern team came in second out of 29 teams.
Borden had a combined time of 89:28 for the top 5.
Brave runners were, sophomore, Julien Magallanes-winner of all grades with a time of 16:13; George Tipker: 17:29 6th place senior; Nathen Magallanes: 17:45 7th place senior; Gavin Tipker: 17:48 6th place junior; Brian McGee: 19:56 31st place senior; David Wright: 20:13 43rd place junior; Will Little: 20:20 43rd place sophomore and Drew McKinley: 21:53 46th place freshman.
In the junior race for the Musketeers, Khalil McDaniel finished in first place with a time of 16:59. Other top 15 medal winners in their respective races were seniors Dalton Jackson and Reid Prindle and sophomores Josh Ratts and Alex Hobson.
"This was great meet for the guys," said Head Coach Mark Olesh. "They have been working really hard and it's starting to pay off. Beating several conference and sectional teams is one of our goals and the results are starting to show this is happening."
Borden's Girls' team was incomplete for the race, but individual runners were: Brooklyn Agnew: 23:24 16th place sophomore; Kate Gertin: 25:10 26th place freshman; Abby Ellis: 25:16 27th place senior and Courtney Welp: 27:28 40th place senior.
The Eastern team finished in first place at the 11-team Paoli Invitational last week.
It was their first team first-place finish of the season.
Khalil McDaniel finished in 1st place out of 67 runners with a time of 16:46.
Other medal winners were Reid Prindle, Josh Ratts, Dalton Jackson, Dakota Jackson, and Cody Shepherd.
In the JV race, Brandon Eberle brought home a second-place ribbon for his performance

Ashland residents will have a chance to vote on a proposed Jackson County library district in May 2014.
Ashland city councilors voted unanimously Tuesday night to put the issue on the ballot.
"It's definitely worth having our citizens have a voice on this," Councilor Greg Lemhouse said.
If Ashland did not vote on the issue, the city would not be included in the library district if it were approved and the county could close Ashland's branch, said Jackson County Commissioner Don Skundrick.
The 15-branch library system is the county's second costliest general fund expenditure after public safety, which includes the sheriff's department and the district attorney's office, Skundrick said.
The county's budget committee has determined that funding the library system is not sustainable, he said.
Without new funding from a library district or renewal of federal timber payments, the county will shut down all library branches except the Medford branch in the 2014-2015 fiscal year, Skundrick said.
The Medford branch would then close the following year, he said.
Jackson County is suffering from drastic reductions in federal payments that were meant to offset revenue lost from logging cutbacks.
County libraries closed in April 2007, then reopened later that year when federal payments were partially restored.
County voters have previously rejected a library district.
Skundrick said the county commissioned a new survey that found county voters are likely to narrowly support a library district in May 2014.
If approved, the district would cost a maximum of 60 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value, or $150 on a home assessed at $250,000, the median in Ashland. The city's supplemental library levy would then be discontinued, City Administrator Dave Kanner said. That levy costs property taxpayers 19 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value, or $47.50, and adds some hours and services.
If the district is rejected, other options remain for Ashland. It could contract with the county to continue operating the Ashland branch using the supplemental city levy, Kanner said.
The city levy would provide less than half of the money spent each year to keep the Ashland branch running, city officials said.
"The levy wouldn't purchase anything close to what we have now," Kanner said.
Alternately, Ashland could join in with communities such as Talent and Jacksonville that have traditionally supported libraries to form its own south Rogue Valley library district.
Skundrick said all three Jackson County commissioners are committed to getting the countywide library district passed.
"Will it be easy? Absolutely not," he said.
Staff reporter Vickie Aldous can be reached at 541-479-8199 or email@example.com.
County library district on will be on Ashland ballot

1-1 Relationships/Devotion Animes
Urm... Im looking for animes containing contents of love or perhaps sorrowful love. The most important part is the main character can not love or have special feelings for 2 girls at the same( or so called harem animes..). And no 2 girls chasing 1 guy crazily at the same -_-.
Love/Semi-Love animes I enjoyed: Saikano, Sola, Air, This ugly yet beautiful world, and Elfen Lied
Disliked: Kanon, Fate/Stay Night, Haruhi Suzumiya( It was decent I suppose...), Clannad, Shuffle!( hate rin ._.), School Days, and some others.
Any more suggestions?
Thank you

Why don't you watch Lamune? The main characters keep working in their relationship in a serious, believable way for the whole series without 3rd parties doing random interventions.
Kare Kano is also within the scope of what you are searching for. You may also like Bokura ga ita, however be advised that it has a lot of drama Also, if what you disliked was the harem aspect, you might be more interested in CLANNAD 2nd season.
Failing that you could always try a reverse harem like Ouran Host club

I'll second Lamune and toss in Ai Yori Aoshi. Even though it has the harem tag, main characters are devoted to each other and you even get the "I love you" and kisses. Hopefully it'll get a 3rd season to finish up the series since the manga is done.

Er, didn't he say in his descriptions that harem-like series were not what he wanted? That unfortunately rules out Ai Yori Aoshi.
Since you're specifically against there being more than 1 of either gender involved, that rules out a lot.
Nodame Cantabile is the only thing I'll recommend.

I'll quote the OP:
Lastly the title of the Thread "1-1 Relationship/Devotion" Fits perfectly with the main leads. If that's not a devoted couple, i don't know what is
|2008-09-27, 09:57

Don't Call Me Bro
True, but Ai Yori Aoshi does have several elements of harem to it, though. And OP does state he's not after harem elements. Yes, AYA is not as typical and certainly it's plainly obvious that the leads are the only ones who could ever end up together. But, the other 4 females get in the way a lot.

Even if it goes against your request a bit, I think Kimi ga Nozomu Eien is matching a lot the first line. Granted, I don't think the first series would fall under the "2 at times", considering how it is portrayed. (and it doesn't have any harem-ish square/polygon anyway).

If Klash thinks so, then I also second Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. Even though it's technically a 1 - 2 relationship, it's not the kind you usually watch where there are two girl trying to be all jealous and clinging to the guy, and the guy is a pervert. It's much more serious than that, and since you like SaiKano, Air, and Elfen Lied, there's a good chance you will like KgNE.

Bokura Ga Ita is a 1 on 1 romance.. I think it is pretty much what you are looking for.
Crest of Stars... although the main there isnt romance but a futuristic action / spaceship anime, the main characters fall in love with each other dispite being from two different "worlds".
Busou Renkin might be of your interest too.

It's been awhile since I've seen it so my memory is a bit hazy on the finer details, but you could like Suzuka. From the start the main guy know who he wants and the series is all about him trying to get her and what happens on a couple of their dates and such. I think there may be one other women in it at one point who confesses, but she doesn't butt in and gets turned down iirc.

If you're willing to watch a 1 guy/2-girl series where there isn't competing but a heck of a lot of drama and pain, Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien is really worth watching. I'll back up the others on that fact.
Kare Kano - manga, definitely. Anime....maybe... I doubt I could ever truly recommend the Kare Kano anime in good conscience because it is such a mangled, sugared up version of one of the best mangas ever done. Hideaki Anno directed the first 13 episodes and then got canned. For good reason...he was still in Evangelion mode and manga-ka Masami Tsuda was getting quite annoyed with where it went. So she didn't allow them to go past Episode 26. So the anime only goes through 1/4 of the manga story and has a very sudden ending with no resultion at all.
It's not the worst thing to watch by any stretch of the imagination. But when you see how several characters were quite altered, especially the females, it's disheartening. The manga is SO worth reading. A great story of two high-school teens who gradually fall in love and every aspect of their life past and present from then on.

I am supprised that no one seems to have mentioned Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora. A great bitter-sweet teenage love story.
I would also second the recomendations for Lovely Complex, Nodame Cantabile, and REC if you are interested in some good romantic comedy

The standoff between the Houston Rockets and rookie forward Royce White was eased on Saturday when the team announced it had lifted White's suspension.
White, who originally refused to accept an assignment to the NBA Developmental League, will report to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers on February 11.
In a press release issued by the Rockets, the team said it "reached an agreement that addresses the major issues that they have been discussing, provides a new start, and gives Royce the best opportunity for long term success as a Houston Rocket.
"This has been a learning process for both parties. The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association have approved the settlement."
White, the 16th overall pick in last June's draft, has yet to play in a game for the Rockets in part due to a complex social anxiety disorder. The 21-year- old and the team have been at odds over how to medically handle his condition, which includes a fear of flying.
White had been assigned to the Vipers on Dec. 29, but did not report. The Rockets had also previously fined the Iowa State product for missing practices and not attending sessions with a team-assigned physician.
During his lone season at Iowa State in 2011-12, White was the only player in the country to lead his team in scoring (13.4 ppg), rebounding (9.3 rpg), assists (5.0 apg), steals (1.2 spg) and blocks (0.9 bpg).

by the Rev. Andrew Kuyvenhoven
Monthly Theme:
Philippians is Paul's love letter. The epistle is also a good instrument for learning the secret of this great man. Paul considered living Christ and dying gain. And, although he wrote from a prison cell, his refrain was "Rejoice in the Lord always."
Bible Reading:
Philippians 1:9–11
Bible Text:
This is my prayer: that your love may abound ... in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best... (Phil. 1:9–10).
Here's how Christians pray for each other: "May your love increase! May love abound in church and family. For love is the fulfillment of the law. Whatever God requires of you and me is summed up in one word: love."
But that's not the whole of our prayer. Because we know that love is much more than an emotion, we also ask God for knowledge and discernment. You and I need insight to know how to act in certain situations. Life is full of choices. To go or not to go, to do or not to do, to speak or to keep silent, to join or to keep a distance. It's critically important that we make wise choices, based on Christian discernment.
The command to "love" all people needs clarification. What is the most loving thing to do for a homeless person? A misbehaving son? A hard-to-please neighbor? A hardened criminal? We must be "able to discern what is best" in all these situations.
Therefore we pray for discernment—not only for ourselves but also for others. When we pray for relatives and fellow Christians, we do more than ask God to preserve their health and well-being. Life is more than feeling good. Living is loving as Christ has taught us. And in learning to live and love we must make critical choices. "Teach them to love, 0 God; may they discern what is best and do what is right in your sight."
May your love keep growing together with your judgment.

thumping in pass side rear wheel???help please

I have a 1991 legacy and there is a thumping in the passengerside rear wheel. It only happens half the time, but rides like a tire is flat when it makes the thumping sound. I had everything apart and can find nothing wrong. If anyone can help please feel free. I would be greatful.
Is there significant tire wear? You might have it worn down to one of the wear bars causing it to "hop" as it comes out of round....normal but a warning to go get new tires.
Posted 27 December 2004 - 03:34 AM
Posted 27 December 2004 - 02:49 PM
Could be internal tyre damage. If one of the plies has separated or broken you will get a thumping noise at specific speeds.
make sure it is the tire first, and if it is, replace it now. I was driving a minivan (as a job) once, and the owner had no idea why the car shook like it did, I inspected the tires, and immediately rotated the left front tire to the left rear, then took the van to a tire shop as soon as humanly possable. THere was a lump in the tread area the size of a grapefruit!! The van ran bautifully after that. . ..

NCIS is losing one of its major characters as the hit CBS drama prepares to launch its 11th season.
Cote de Pablo confirmed Tuesday that she would not be reprising the role of Ziva David, a role she played for eight seasons.
De Pablo says she will stay with the show long enough to give closure to her character, but not long enough to finish season 11.
"I've had 8 great years with NCIS and Ziva David. I have huge respect and affection for Mark, Gary, Michael, David, Rocky, Pauley, Brian, Sean, all of the team and CBS. I look forward to finishing Ziva's story."
CBS and CBS Television Studios issued a joint statement when confirming the news: "We respect Cote's decision, thank her for being an important part of the NCIS team, and for eight terrific years playing Ziva David. Cote and CBS share a great respect for the NCIS audience, and we look forward to working with her and the producers on appropriate closure in this chapter of Ziva's story."
She joined NCIS in season 3, following the departure of Sasha Alexander, who played Caitlin Todd.
Pablo says when she auditioned, the character was European but it was unspecified where she was from. After she got the part, they changed Ziva to an Israeli, and 48 hours later she had to shoot and had to learn a monologue in Hebrew.
"One week from today, we start shooting the first episode of #NCIS season 11! Expect awesomeness," co-star Brian Dietzen, tweeted on Tuesday. "I love my #NCIS family. All of em. Tremendous group of people. We will work our butts off to give you our best season yet!"
NCIS, a drama about criminal investigators working for the Navy and Marines, returns for season 11 on September 24.

Submission + - Great Wall of China Actually Twice As Long (bbc.co.uk)
jones_supa writes: The Great Wall of China has been officially declared much longer than previously thought, the Chinese news agency Xinhua reports. Previous estimates of the wall's length were mainly based on historical records: a preliminary study released in 2009 estimated the wall to be 8,850 km long. Recent state survey results however indicate that the wall measures even 21,196.18 km. Tong Mingkang, deputy chief, said that the survey revealed a total of 43,721 heritage sites that included stretches of the Great Wall. Only 8.2% of the original wall remains intact, with the rest in poor condition, according to the report.

My blog has been changed to make it more appealing for those who have New England ancestors and want to see the area through photos. Things I'll include are typical white New England churches, libraries showing their genealogical collection, historical societies, cemeteries, war memorials, in general, anything to do with history.
For four years I've blogged mostly about my personal genealogy in New England (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire), New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada. I still will, can't forget my own roots.
Please check out the labels on the right side for articles. The header tabs at the top are a work in progress.

A Little Cheer in the New Year.
Every time I see this photo, it cheers me up, especially in winter and each time I turn on my iPad. The above photo was taken in a nursery in the middle of winter last January. I had just gotten the toy and decided to take practice photos. It soon became my cover photo and I see it every time I go online. Since that day, I took very few flower photos because I wasn't happy with the outcome. The reason for writing all this is to say, I have taken over 4,000 shots this past year, and deleted about 1,000. Many others have to do with genealogy in some way, such as: cemetery stones, war memorials, and a lot of tourist spots in New England.
If you have seen any of my posts for this past year, each photo was taken with this iPad, the majority are clear and sharp. It's works beautifully for cemetery stones and pages from books, really anything but flower close-ups.
One of my "projects" for this year is to go through all photos and get them posted to my blog. It might seem unusual to see bare ground (no snow), green trees and lovely foliage in a cemetery during these early 2014 months, but that is what I intend to do.

By JIM MOORE
SARASOTA, Fla. -- Twenty years have passed since Ken Griffey Jr. arrived in Seattle, and Monday afternoon he looked all of 17 again.
The first man to wear his cap backward is wearing it backward as he pitches batting practice to his three kids while his wife helps shag balls.
On a small field at the Cincinnati Reds' springtraining complex, a crowd of seven watches -- three photographers, two reporters, local resident Dick Vitale and Akeiba, Griffey's Rottweiler from the bed of his owner's jet black Ford F-150 pickup.
The oldest, Trey, 13, and Taryn, 11, are good athletes, and if Vitale were asked, 4-year-old Tevin looks like a diaper dandy.
Two decades ago Tevin's dad was "The Kid." Flying west as the first pick in the 1987 draft, the Cincinnati native knew nothing about Seattle, much less Bellingham, where his pro career would begin.
He didn't even know the Mariners existed until his junior year at Moeller High School, and here he was, about to own the team and the town.
For all that Edgar Martinez was to this franchise, Griffey was more, a future first-ballot Hall of Famer, one of the best to ever play the game. And most memorably, the man under the pig-pile at home plate in '95.
You could see that smile again Monday when he joked with teammates and played with his kids. But during an hour-long interview in the clubhouse, the smile was not as evident.
The subject: Griffey's first return to Seattle after being traded to the Reds following the '99 season. Cincinnati plays a three-game series at Safeco Field on June 22-24.
So, Ken, are you excited to go back? Are you looking forward to it? What kind of reception do you think you'll get? These questions yielded little, aside from a lack of emotion, which was notable in itself.
"I haven't really thought about it," Griffey said. "I have no idea what to expect. I'm trying to get through the spring and get on with the season. It's a long ways away. I've got to do some things before I get there."
Griffey is sitting on a trunk next to his locker, fooling around with a black bat, taking half-swings, giving short answers. He looks like he would rather be doing anything but this and to be honest, I would, too -- there must be a golf course or cocktail lounge right around the corner.
But then he began to open up. It was almost as if you could hear the creaking of a door that had been slammed shut for a long time. Or maybe this is just the way Griffey is, I don't know. From most accounts, he's hard to figure out.
Take a guess how many times he's been back to Seattle since he left? That's right, zip, zero, nada. His wife, Melissa, is from Gig Harbor.
"Not even for a family function?" he's asked.
"Nope," he says. "I haven't done anything in Seattle. The closest I've gotten is San Francisco."
"Miss anything in Seattle?" he's asked.
"Nah, other than seeing Jay (Buhner) and Edgar," he says.
Griffey did appreciate the fan support and those in the Mariners organization.
"The people there will always be close to me because they gave me an opportunity to play," he said.
It can't be just another series on the schedule, though Junior makes it sound like it is. I'd bet, deep down, gun to his head, it will mean a lot to him.
"Do you think you'll be cheered?" he's asked.
"I have no idea," he says.
Could you possibly boo him? A-Rod, yes. Randy Johnson, maybe. But Ken Griffey Jr., no matter why he left? The player who saved the franchise?
He was said to be unhappy with Safeco Field's dimensions, limiting his chance to be the all-time home run leader. He was said to want to play for a team that had spring-training facilities in Florida, near his offseason home in Orlando.
Whatever it was, new M's GM Pat Gillick realized he had to make a deal after a conversation with Griffey.
"Ken, I just got here," Gillick told him. "Our goal is to go to the World Series. Do you want to be a part of that?"
"No," Griffey said.
Griffey's agent, Brian Goldberg, said that comment should not be misinterpreted, that Griffey's goal is always to win a championship.
"It had nothing to do with the World Series, it had to do with Kenny physically, geographically being in Seattle," Goldberg said. "This was about him being miserable away from his family."
That reason trumped all others.
"Everybody in Seattle said, 'What do you have to leave for?' " Griffey said. "I wanted to be around my kids and see 'em grow up. Then they'd say, you could fly 'em in. But it's about being there, being a dad. If they need something, I want to be there.
"Then I'd hear, 'There must be something else.' No. I want to be a dad. It's my job to make sure they turn out OK."
If you want to talk about his kids, he'll talk all day and the smile reappears. Trey is a junior high football player who loves to hit.
"I call him my miniature Ray Lewis," Griffey said.
Taryn plays basketball. If baseball forces Griffey to miss one of her games or one of Trey's, he watches them on video, taped by a hired crew.
And preschooler Tevin?
"He might be the best athlete," Griffey said.
Tevin plays flag football and is so quick and shifty, he has yet to have his flag pulled.
Griffey's wife was adopted, and Tevin was, too. "He found us," is how Griffey puts it. "He acts like me all the time. He's got every bad habit."
When the interview goes back to baseball, like they always do, Griffey becomes less animated. Playing in his hometown has not gone as well as he'd hoped.
Six years and eight trips to the disabled list, each one further preventing Griffey from catching Hank Aaron and giving baseball a steroid-free home run king. He has hit 563 and could reach 600 this year, barring injury of course.
It's a running joke, and he's not laughing. The three most used words in Cincinnati headlines: "Griffey's hurt again."
That's why he was reluctant to initially reveal details of his most recent injury, a broken left hand suffered when he was rough housing with his kids on their family yacht in the Bahamas in December.
He says nothing bothers him, but so much does. Other than the last one, his injuries have happened on the field.
"How did I get hurt?" Griffey asks. "Trying to make a diving catch, taking an extra base, hitting the wall, all the things that people who win do. If I lollygagged, what would (people) say about it?"
There has been a price -- Griffey has nine screws in his body, six in his shoulder, three in his tailbone.
"When I put my hat down for good, I can always say I gave 100 percent," Griffey said. "There will not be a 'what if' in my speech."
One presumes the speech will take place in Cooperstown. Griffey has not decided which uniform he will enter the Hall of Fame in. Based on his comments, make the Mariners a slight favorite.
"I took some shots leaving Seattle the last year, and I took some shots the first year here," Griffey said.
He played 11 years in Seattle, six years and counting in Cincinnati. He admits that, even now, people know him more as a Mariner than a Red.
Critics in Cincinnati also give the M's an edge. When he separated his shoulder and was still down on the turf, Griffey heard someone in the stands ripping him for getting hurt.
Trey's classmates say things, too, and then there was the one guy on sports-talk radio last summer. Griffey found out on a Monday that his mom had colon cancer and on the next day that his dad had prostate cancer.
"I suppose he'll use that as an excuse now," the caller said.
Said Goldberg: "I wish he would render a lot of those people as irrelevant as I do."
Maybe they've forgotten that he doesn't drink, doesn't get in trouble, and they can't possibly know that he gives to many charities because Griffey doesn't want his benevolence publicized.
Griffey can't let go of these things, nor does it help to tell him that those people have to be in the minority, that a majority of Reds fans must love him. He doesn't believe that either. Even when you're Ken Griffey Jr. you're not necessarily a hometown hero.
He thinks more Reds fans cheer for him "because they've got a chance to see history" than because he's one of the players on their favorite team.
"My home's in Florida. I work in Cincinnati," Griffey said.
"But you grew up there," I said. "Cincinnati's your hometown."
"My home's in Florida. I work in Cincinnati," Griffey repeated. "That 19-year-old kid who's now 37 has a whole different opinion of people. I work in Cincinnati. That's it."
His newest home is being built near Orlando, and it's at least as big as the last one, which had 15,000 square feet. He doesn't think it's interesting that this one has a 10-car garage.
"A 10-car garage!?" I ask.
"The other one had 12," says Griffey, who owns eight cars, all of which are 450-horsepower-plus.
He loves Florida and says that Seattle's weather was a minor factor in his decision to leave. But it should be nice when he returns in June, 20 years to the month of his original signing.
Griffey can low-key it, downplay it, and say it's not a big deal, but his agent knows otherwise, saying: "I know for a fact he's very excited about going back."
Further proof -- it bothered him when he watched the Kingdome's implosion.
"I was thinking about all the good times I had in that stadium," he said.
The Mariners are planning a ceremony for Griffey, one that should feature the retiring of his number.
If they do or don't, there's a more important issue. The interview's over and his kids need a ride. It's time to be a dad again.

I remember them saying the same thing about Ever Quest, that the only thing that could displace it was Ever Quest 2. That didn't turn out to be too accurate. I think WOW will run it's course and then most people will move on.
I'm not disagreeing about Warhammer's chances against WoW, but that statement made me think of this Penny Arcade:
As for upcoming MMORPG's, none of them will command the attention that WoW has. If Lord of the Rings Online couldn't make a dent in WoW, especially given the long, great history of the Tolkien Universe, what chance does any other MMORPG have?
I don't think it will take a lot of "study" to see that game success has nothing to do with weight of established lore behind it. Just look at the history of Star Trek games. If anything, having a license to an existing "Universe" is a millstone around a game's neck.
No other MMORPG has captured the audience that WoW has. This alone is a reason to study this MMORPG over all others. . . . So yes, WoW deserves to be studied to understand how they could capture and maintain an audience many times over any of the previous MMORPG's.
Although the focus of whoever wrote the article is on the Next Big Thing, this isn't necessarily the top priority for scholars. The study of games is more about people than it is about games themselves. Here's Florence Chee from the article:
WoW will be easy to dethrone because the game itself isn't any fun. All the enjoyment comes from the sense of accomplishment.
EC: Rapid chaotic change, it'll be going smooth for awhile, with periods of stability, and then suddenly you'll see periods of bulky but large changes.
You mean: punctuated equilibria [cotch.net]? Why invent a clunky neonym when you can just use a scientific term that already exists?
Marvelous! The super-user's going to boot me! What a finely tuned response to the situation!

Episode 32 was great. But so have many other episodes been. This show is just reliable entertainment every week. The drawing goes on and off model, but it doesn't matter: the story has gripped me and won't let go. I hated the shouted voice-acting at first, but I got used to it long ago, and now I can feel how it has given the show and its main character a special style and intensity. It seems archaic, like this is really the distant past. Only a few more episodes left? Nooo! This could go on indefinitely, for me.
Sure, Zheng (the First Emperor) was a tyrant -- one of the most tyrannical in human history -- but his tyranny made China a single country, and put an end (more or less) to centuries of war and incredible suffering. Not that I want to see a tyrant like that again, but if you've lived under disorder, peace and order can seem pretty wonderful, when they come.

Considering who's directing it's really no surprise the storytelling is as great as it is. I jut lament this series didn't have a decent budget, because so many people were turned off early-on by the appalling animation.

-Masakazu Morita as Li Xin. he is also the the VA of Ichigo from Bleach
-Jun Fukuyama as Ying Zheng, he is also the VA of Lelouch from Code Geass
-Yoko Hikasa as Qiang Lei, she is also the VA of Mio from K-ON.
-Rie Kugimiya as He Liao Diao, she is also the VA of Shana from Shakugan no Shana
in fact most of them voice acted important charcters in well-known animes.
here is the link to the chinese "Kingdom" forum thread if anyone is interested to find out more. you dont have to read the chinese words, just looking at the pictures will do.
i really hope the last few episodes are done better than, if not as good as, the manga since they are really quite important and will really leave the fans with a great impression of this anime.

I'm going to be so sad when this series ends. The story and action are quite good, and they have finally stabilize the awful CG. I've tried to get some of my friends to watch, but the female ones refuse to watch because of bad CG. With even decent animation, I'm sure this series would be a lot more popular than it is now.
Anyway, the latest episode was exciting. It looks like it is finally time for the main battle. I'm not sure what Xin will do, since his battalion is battered. It looks like a battle of generals now.
As for Yang Duanhe suddenly appearing, my guess is that she is either there to reinforce the borders or join in the battle. It seems like a much larger plot is in the works, and it is sad that the story will end whenever that is revealed.

If you are introducing this anime to your friends, maybe you can try showing them from either episode 16(where the 1st campaign starts) or 22(episode with most 2d iirc) onwards. Either way, just show them the later episodes in which the CG aren't as bad. The first arc of the story where Xin, Zheng and Diao got together is quite boring(but important as an introduction to the story) anyway when compared to the war and tactics in the later parts of this series.
EDIT: Good News! 2nd season confirmed!!! read: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...iere-this-june

Also, I wonder how many episodes it will have? Hopefully, it will be more than 1 cour.
But yeah, the strategy of showing the later episodes is a really good idea.

hope there will be at least 38 or even 50 episodes in the new season. whichever that allows the anime to catch up to the manga while at the same time not cutting away too many details
of course, most importantly, i hope they do improve the CG and animation. it is really unfair for such a great story to lose potential fans just because of the lousy CG and animation. i admit i almost dropped this anime during the first arc due to the weird animation but im glad i didn't

All i can say is, the ending of this season will be pretty epic in a certain way and reward all those who stayed on to this anime. It's a pity that 99% of the people dropped this within the first 3 episodes due to the bad CG. Will probably be watching the last 3 episodes all at one go once they are all out by the end of the month.

The current episode was awesome as always. We get a lot of background on Liao and Wang Yi, and now Wang Yi is probably one of my favorite characters in the show. I can't believe how much a turnaround he is from when he made his first appearance. Btw, his first Lieutenant, Teng, is an insane fighter.

STATELINE (WIFR) -- It's expected to be the busiest shipping day in history for Fed-Ex stores across the nation and here in the Stateline. Today, millions of packages will be mailed.
"We could make someone's Christmas or not make it, depending on how it arrives to them." said one Fed-Ex worker.
Boxes, after boxes deck the halls of Rockford's Fed-Ex shipping center as employees prepare for the busiest delivery day of the year.
It's expected to be an historic event for the company with 19 million packages delivered. Just to give you an idea, that's more than double the amount handled on a typical day.
Jocelyn Becham says she expects to send eight packages this holiday season, to family members across the nation.
"My brothers and sisters live in five different states and my oldest daughter is in Texas so there is a lot of shipping to do," said Bechem.
The national retail federation says an increase in cyber shopping is moving gifts from online to the assembly line. More than 300,000 workers will help transfer the presents from trucks, to under our trees.
The post office says it's best to have our items shipped by no later than next Monday.

Clearly you have already perfected this FTL information transmission and used it to get a firstpost with a topic uncanningly similar to mine.
Actually, both posts were submitted at the same time, resulting in a quantum entanglement.
And my post about quantum entanglement was posted (according to the log, at least) 1 minute after yours, so while we probably typed at the same time, my post arrived at its destination a few seconds later, making it a clear case of slower-that-light, psychic phenomenon.
Yours was the anti-correlated part of the singlet.
Somehow this sounds so much better than "-1 Redundant".
Unfortunately, the cat is dead.
The difficult thing about being a quantum comedian is that your jokes are both funny and unfunny at the same time.
For a detailed explanation, see the next guy's post.
Uh... do you have any links to these "cracks in the wall"? Because the first couple pages of search results all just show the standard descriptions about why quantum entanglement isn't FTL communication...
Bah, that's the same stuff as always. Yes the other half of the entangled pair changes instantaneously, but you still can't use that to send information. You'll notice that in the next paragraph they discuss actual applications and it's the usual quantum crypto-channel stuff where you can use entanglement to detect eavesdroppers. Nothing about actual FTL information transmission, because this is the same ol' entanglement as every other link on google describes.
You almost had my hopes up for a minute ther
Yeah, it *is* the same stuff as always, it's only the distance that changed. It was theorized that the particles could *not* remain entangled for nearly that distance -- that makes all the difference.
It makes a huge difference as far as practical quantum communication channels -- which are "merely" secure channels where any attempt to eavesdrop on the sub-light information stream can be detected -- but zero difference as far as the theory of whether or not it can be used for FTL info transfer, which still remains a big "no".
The particles, once they reach their destination, will be under constant observation. When I want to send a signal, I make the particles on my end "react" in a pulse-width-modulation fashion, like Morse code. Their corresponding particle pairs on the other end will "untangle" at the same rate, but instantaneously.
The reason this doesn't work is that for the person on the other end to detect that the particle in their possession has become untangled, they have to interact with it which would destroy any entanglement were there to have been any. In other words, there is no way for them to tell the difference between the waveform collapsing because you made it collapse versus them making it collapse by checking to see if you made it collapse.
The only thing they know is that there is a correlation between whatever state they observe in the post-collapse particle and your particle... but they knew about that correlation when you gave them their particle to carry away with them at sub-light speed in the first place. All actual information was carried with the particles themselves at sub-light speeds.
Those links from the google search can provide more explanations, too. Suffice to say that all known methods of using quantum entanglement -- whether for communication, or "teleportation" -- involve things moving at sub-light speeds.
Humm... no.
You don't flip your particles. You just measure them. You can't determine the outcome. With this in mind, the information you obtained is no more FTL than if each had pre-correlated deck of cards.
What is mysterious in quantum entanglement is that this correlation is kept regardless of which base you measure: this can't be done with a deck of cards.
Before the aforementioned time arrives, I flip the the particles on my end. I now "Know" what the state of the particles on the other end will be, even though the other side couldn't possibly send me that information *after* they've checked the states, at that speed.
Isn't that information in and of itself, which arrives faster than light?
No, it's information that arrived with the entangled particle itself.
See, the knowledge that whatever state you eventually observe in your particles the other side will see
Are you kidding? Many people did love and would love the idea of hidden variables! It'd be like telling the children there most certainly are presents in the closet, but presents they can know nothing about and must not peak. The kids would be angling for their first chance to get in there.
Hidden variables would mean a deeper understanding of which we are ignorant - fun stuff to keep chasing down.
No, it's not that Quantum Physicists just don't like Hidden Variables.
It's that a pretty clever chap figured out a way to test whether Quantum Physics involved Hidden Variables (without really needing to know much about them). Once he (and a few others) refined these ideas and actually did some tests, the results were clear. And as our instrumentation gets better over time, similar testing has more and more profoundly demonstrated Quantum Physics simply does not depend on Hidden Variables - it's just that weird.
Look up Bell's Theorem.
Yeah, it *is* the same stuff as always, it's only the distance that changed. It was theorized that the particles could *not* remain entangled for nearly that distance -- that makes all the difference.
There was never a theoretical upper bound on the distance within each particles could remain entangled. See the original EPR paper.
What happened recently was an experiment which showed quantum teleportation through a large distance. Which is great, but expected.
Can we replicate this and add information to the current to transport information faster than the speed of light? (The real problem.)
Well I'm going to say no simply based on the fact that they are claiming no physical laws are being broken and that Special Relativity is not violated, since super-luminal information transfer = time travel = causality violation = impossible in SR. This not the first time this effect has been proposed and it has apparently been studied in labs, so if it was a possible way to transmit information, it seems they would have probably figured that out by now and at least some aspect of SR (perhaps causality!) would have to be scrapped.
I don't fully understand what they're talking about, but it sounds like a similar phenomenon to group velocity [wikipedia.org], in which some aspect of the wavefront can be said to be traveling faster than light, but nevertheless real photons and information cannot.
no physical laws are being broken and that Special Relativity is not violated
You know there's a problem with the world when someone has to *explicitly clarify* that Special Relativity isn't being violated.
I can see the signs that will replace "no smoking" 20 years from now: "This is a physics-abiding zone, please do not exceed light speed. Thank you."
Lisa! In this house we obey the Laws of Thermodynamics!
But yeah, you're right in one sense, but in another, when all most people know about Relativity* is that you can't go faster than light, it makes sense to at least mention that when you're describing an FTL effect that you aren't talking about up-ending physics and that these scientists aren't crackpots.
* On the one hand, wah wah the level of education, on the other, it's kinda amazing in a historical sense that 'normal' people are even aware of physic
'normal' people
This is Slashdot. Don't get carried away.
wah wah the level of education
I don't think that this is really a proper gauge of anyone's education. I mean, yeah, the abstract concepts aren't difficult to understand, but this isn't something that would come up in a practical sense for more than (I'm guessing) about 10,000 people on earth, and you can't really expect people to remember something like this even if they *have* studied it (and were possibly tested on the material), with everything you have to keep in mind to live in this world to
That was exactly my point. The fact that people have even heard of Relativity and the universal speed limit is pretty amazing as far as I'm concerned.
The "wah wah" was supposed to be you, lamenting that we need to explicitly state that the laws of physics aren't being broken.
> it's kinda amazing in a historical sense that 'normal' people are even aware of physics at that level in even the most vague of ways
Have you spoken to any 'normal' people lately?
Normal people think 'Ghost Hunters' is a documentary.
Normal people believe computers can think, and wouldn't like robots in their town because of the danger of them revolting against humans.
If I ask my parents what Einstein did, they say he invented the atom bomb.
My next door neighbor asked me to not let my kids use computers between 7pm and 8pm because she doesn't want them to be able to watch her in the bath (wtf?).
Don't mistake common knowledge on Slashdot for knowledge that is common.
My next door neighbor asked me to not let my kids use computers between 7pm and 8pm because she doesn't want them to be able to watch her in the bath (wtf?).
Did you check your computer room for an unobstructed view of her bathroom? Perhaps she should install better curtains.

I can't tell from here, my telescope is blocking the view.

Well obviously she set up a qik stream. I'd look it up if I were you...
Normal people think 'Ghost Hunters' is a documentary.
Why, what did you think it was?
Normal people believe computers can think, and wouldn't like robots in their town because of the danger of them revolting against humans.
Actually the possibility that robots/computers will rebel against humans is plausible (even if "rebel" may be the wrong word). I know you mean that "they" think about it in a different way than you do, but I think that particular example isn't a good one -- we've all seen Terminator.
It was my understanding that information in general cannot exceed the speed of light. Is this not the case, or do FTL currents somehow not transmit data FTL?
It also doesn't mean anything is actually moving from point a (Where the laser pointer first hits) to point b (Where the laser pointer last hits).
You are playing the illusionist there.
It's light... it's a big wave, with its source at your laser.
The real solution to this "problem" is that you can't transmit information from point A to point B faster than light, despite the fact that the beam can change focus between A and B, faster than light. You can use the triangle inequality to show this.
Current doesn't necessarily involve something actually moving from point A to point B either.
I thought it did (which would make it a big deal)
Uhm, thats funny, it would seem that every person on the planet with a basic understanding of electricity is wrong then.
Electrical current is the movement of electrons between atoms, it most certainly involves movement of electrons.
Electrical current is the movement of electrons between atoms, it most certainly involves movement of electrons.
Electrical current is the movement of sources/sinks of the electric field. No atoms required.
You're describing an electrical current -- although it bears pointing out that a current between A and B does not involve any electrons actually moving from A to B, but moving only very small distances.
These, on the other hand, are polarization currents. Every person on the planet capable of reading the linked article could know that.
That's exactly the point. There are phenomenon which appear to be going FTL, but nothing real (including information) actually is.
Indeed. We could use another analogy (cars of course). If I turn the headlights off on my car at the exact same time (to an observer) as someone in China turns on their lights, we wouldn't say that the "headlights" moved faster than light, moving from my car to his car. Ditto for a laser pointer moving around on the moon.
Thanks, that explains it well. I guess I got hung up by not understanding what the article meant by "currents".
No, it doesn't work that way, thats a typical misunderstanding of the way it works because you're confusing observations from your perspective with reality.
The dot isn't moving at all, and you wouldn't actually have a dot painted on the surface of the moon. From your perspective on Earth it may appear that way, but appearances are often deceiving.
What you end up with is something that would resemble a dimmer (than the dot would be if stationary) line or blur on the surface of the moon, spread out over vast
Sort of.
Try this for an analogy: imagine a circular wall around us located one light-year radius away. Point your laser pointer at the wall, then sweep it so that it points to another spot 1 light year away on the same wall. Do that in 1 second.
1 year later, a dot of light will appear on the wall. The dot will then exceed the speed of light, traveling 1 light-year in 1 second. If that dot also induced an electric charge, it will look like some sort of current pulse just traveled along the wall millions of times the speed of light.
So, you've created a current, faster than the speed of light, that appears to carry information FTL, but not in a meaningful way.
Oh for heaven's sake, somebody post a car analogy!
Take yer hotrod up to about 25 MPH at night and spin some donuts. From far enough away, the headlights reflecting off the walmart wall will move way faster than 25 MPH, maybe 1000 MPH who knows.
Now does the cop give you a ticket for speeding because your headlight reflections are moving 1000 MPH? No, nothing was speeding. The reflection is just a mathematical construct that means nothing. The cop gives you a ticket for being a dumbass and disturbing the peace, not for speeding.
Well done. Pretty cool, really.
Now make an analogy using a cow, 5 bags of salt, and the Pacific Ocean.
Now make an analogy using a cow, 5 bags of salt, and the Pacific Ocean.
A cow, 5 bags of salt, and the Pacific Ocean are in a car doing donuts...
Now make an analogy using a cow, 5 bags of salt, and the Pacific Ocean.
So, near Hawaii, we have a cow and 5 bags of salt. Force feed the salt to the cow, which promptly dies (sorry PETA). The rotting cow corpse expands and finally detonates (sorry cDc), at, for example, the speed of light. Flaps of leather strike SFO, nothing unusual, but it is odd that they strike LA at about the same time. Scientist watching from a satellite says its as if leather was smeared in a line thru SFO and LA however the line must have moved at about a zillion times the speed of light, like the Enterprise had an accident while transporting some steers at full warp speed. No, scientist has it wrong, because the direction of motion is actually perpendicular to the line between SFO and LA, the motion was actually from Hawaii at merely light speed.
The difference in time of impact and distance between SFO and LA are just a math abstraction which by no means implies the leather moved along that path at a zillion times the speed of light.
Well done. Pretty cool, really.
Now make an analogy using a cow, 5 bags of salt, and the Pacific Ocean.
Assume a spherical cow in a vacuum...
But can I use it to send information to my buddy at the bar about a cop pulling people over?
Has Google filed its patent yet on "Method and Materials to Power a Pulsar Beam Using a Faster-Than-Light Current"?
Not in China..
A disco ball. Shine a light on a disco ball, and project those cool reflections onto a surface more than a few light-seconds away. You'll see that the spots move much faster than light.
Still no FTL movement or information transfer. Still no violation of GR or causality. Just another nice, attention-grabbing headline.
A disco ball. Shine a light on a disco ball, and project those cool reflections onto a surface more than a few light-seconds away.
Yep. I like the analogy of pointing a laser pointer at the moon and wiggling it back and forth really fast.
Still no FTL movement or information transfer. Still no violation of GR or causality. Just another nice, attention-grabbing headline.
Yeah but even the summary explicitly says there's no violation of Einstein's theory, so what's yer point?
The spots won't be moving faster than light, they will actually be a blur or line spread across the surfaces they hit.
You're confusing perception with reality, and they are two very different things.
The spots won't be moving faster than light, they will actually be a blur or line spread across the surfaces they hit.
You're confusing perception with reality, and they are two very different things.
I think the GP was right, any you may have it backwards. The human eye will perceive a blur or line, due to the limited "frame refresh" and averaging of our optical system. In reality, though, the "spot", as defined by the location where the photons are hitting/reflecting from the surface, will be traveling faster than light. No information can be conveyed, however, as no point on this surface can directly use this phenomenon to actually communicate anything faster than light.
[ I'm referring to the concept of seeing something that moves faster than the speed of light, not anything else here, just so it's clear ]
Consider this situation --
You've got a big sphere. Let's say it's 93 million miles in radius (the size of our radius around the sun -- it's a figure we're all familiar with anyways.)
In the middle of this sphere is a man. He has a laser, and he's shining it on the sphere. Since the man is still, the laser is not moving.
But, then the man starts spinning, once per second. The laser takes about 8 minutes to reach the edge of the sphere, but once it does, the dot starts going around the outside of the sphere, once per second. If you do the math, that means the dot is moving 584,000,000 miles per second -- which is about 3100 times the speed of light.
The light from the laser is still going at the speed of light, but the dot appears to be moving at over 3000 times the speed of light. But it's just a location -- the spot that the laser is hitting right now -- it doesn't mean that something tangible is exceeding the speed of light, and therefore Einstein isn't proved wrong by it.
My point is, it doesn't require some really strange neutron star situation to picture a situation where something might appear to be traveling faster than the speed of light.
The laser has energy density. Take the machine gun example, again. If a machine gun is spun fast enough, there might only be two bullet holes, the left-most and the right-most. The same with the laser. If you want to see a spot that has continuous brightness reflected back, you will have to sweep it very slowly. This is physical phenomena. There is no magic laser that reflects back the same intensity no matter how fast it gets swept across a surface.
I think there really does have to be a remarkable situatio
Bad poster!
No Car analogy.
Although I can't come up with much other than holding a gas pump and spinning in a circle. (Don't try this at home)
What you get on that outside wall wouldn't be a spot generated by the laser, at that point the 'spot' would appear (if you were on the wall, and not at the sun) as a line due to the beam being spread out by your turning around in circles.
This is all just a matter of perspective and is otherwise nothing new. The laser beam isn't projecting a 'dot' when its moving, even though most of the time it is perceived as such.
Ah yes it's time again to break out the old phase vs group velocity explanation again. There are plenty of things that can go "fast than light", but repeat after me, you cannot transmit *information* faster than light. There are many concepts in our current understanding of physics that you just take to be inviolate like conservation of energy, momentum, speed of light. That's not to say we those concepts might eventually be superseded but as a general rule of them any theory that doesn't follow them is probably pseudoscience and wrong. Physics develops from what proceeded it, from Newton to Einstein to Quantum Mechanics to String Theory, and those conservation laws always held. Perhaps reformulated in a different manner to stand for different things but they still held. You don't need to know the details of how a proposed "perpetual motion machine" may work to know that if the crackpot building it says that it violates the law of conservation of energy then it doesn't work.
But they can do it in Star Trek!
I am not a physicist, but you hear things, you know. . ?
I'm not altogether clear about all this talk regarding so-called, Quantum Entanglement. It doesn't sound as though there is anything being transmitted at all.
Or, just blowing smoke off the top of my head. . , what if two points on, say, a 10 dimensional object appear in our space to occupy two distant locations, but which are in fact part of the same object. If you move one point, the other moves instantaneously. Information could be transmitted lik
Your post is basically on the right track, but some thing you say are not quite right.
There are many concepts in our current understanding of physics that you just take to be inviolate like conservation of energy, momentum, speed of light.
Well, not quite.
In flat spacetime, velocities greater than c lead to violations of causality: observer 1 says that event A caused event B, but observer 2, in a different state of motion, says that B caused A. Since violation of causality can produce paradoxes, we s
> and those conservation laws always held.
Sort of. Conservation of energy has only held by redefining what "energy" means to include mass (and the separate law of conservation of mass was summarily dumped). Energy and momentum conservation is obviously only true as long as you work in a particular inertial frame (whereas the whole thing with the speed of light is that it seems to be invariant across all reference frames).
But more importantly, the reason you get things like conservation of momentum is t
As General Relativity tells us, information cannot travel faster than the speed of light, and the closer you get to the speed of light the more energy you need. I'm a civilian, so I don't usually have to obey generals, but this Relativity dude seems to speak with some authority, so I'll listen to him.
Anyway, it's also pretty inherently obvious that theoretically infinite amounts of information can be kept perfectly still with no energy expended. You just need a stable medium.
It stands to reason, therefore, that there is an inverse relationship between the speed of an object and the amount of information that may be carried on that object with a given energy input.
As a thread accelerates, the amount of useful information that can be put on it decreases. Eventually, it reaches a velocity called the "speed of blight" where the number of informationless posts like this one exceeds those with useful information.
Also, as objects move, they are affected by exterior forces, such as chaotic movement, gravity wells, etc, and that effect is proportional to the amount of force applied, and inversely proportional to the speed of the object being affected. This is why a troll (known to hang out at gravity wells, and may in fact cause them) can have a more diversionary effect on a thread when it has yet to gain velocity - the troll's black hole has more mass relative to the velocity of the thread. As the thread reaches speed, the troll can (at best) tear a small chunk off the thread and scatter it, because the thread is moving too quickly but also lacks the information necessary to maintain its integrity any more.
As a thread accelerates, the amount of useful information that can be put on it decreases. Eventually, it reaches a velocity called the "speed of blight" where the number of informationless posts like this one exceeds those with useful information.
Does this happen before, or after Godwin's law takes effect?
Take a Rigid Caron nano-tube that is one LY long and firmly grasp one end and wave it around wildly, the far end of it will be travelling FTL!!!!
Of course how heavy is a 1LY long rigid carbon nanotube?
Anything solid thing 1LY long is very easy to break. If you try to rotate it, you will break it.
Wouldn't a rigid carbon nanotube be a very thin and low mass inanimate carbon rod?
Well, 1LY is 9.4605284 × 10^15 metres and carbon nanotubes have, on average, a density of approx 1.4g/cm^-3. Assuming a 1cm radius tube, you're looking at a volume of 2971946650295cm^3 which gives you something like 4,160,725 tonnes.
You just proved that there isn't such a thing as a rigid body. There is this upper limit, imposed by relativity.
You can make some calculations, about the electric pulse propagating through the matter at light speed, but they're trivial and boring.
I'm promoted to the status of god-like observer. I'm looking down on the solar system perpendicular to the ecliptic, i.e. I'm watching earth circle the sun. Using my magic powers of awesome I wink the sun out of existence. With my magical omniscient eyes I will see the Earth continuing to orbit something that no longer exists for the eight or so minutes it takes for light to move from the sun to the earth. At the time the last ray from the sun hits Earth, the sun's gravity will be cutting out. That's becaus
Nondeterminism means never having to say you are wrong.

Telephone lines devoted to supporting smoking cessation (quitlines) hold great promise because they are relatively inexpensive and highly accessible.1 Busy doctors who lack confidence in dealing with seemingly intractable smoking might be relieved to refer their patients to these specialised services, which are increasingly available worldwide. It is not clear, however, that they deliver the expected outcomes. In the linked randomised controlled trial (doi:10.1136/bmj.e1696), Ferguson and colleagues compare standard quitline support plus both free nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and six follow-up calls with standard quitline support alone.2 Importantly, this trial was conducted in England, where NRT is already free to smokers trying to quit. In addition to providing information about the effect of making the pathway for receiving NRT even more unimpeded than it already is, the study's findings help to answer two central questions about assisted smoking cessation.
Firstly, what proportion of smokers wanting to quit are interested in receiving support and medication in an environment where NRT is already provided free via doctors? Researchers in this field often note that many smokers do not use the treatment …

George Howard (Jake) Jacobus of Delray Beach, Fla. and Edgartown died peacefully surrounded by family and close friends on Jan. 8, 2013 in Delray Beach. He was 82. His death resulted from a long illness due in part to heroically battling chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) for 29 years.
He was born in Caldwell, N.J. at the height of the Great Depression on Jan. 5, 1931, son of Hester Todd Jacobus and George Russell Jacobus. He graduated from Grover Cleveland High School in Caldwell, N.J., class of 1949, where he served as student body president and captain of the varsity basketball team.
Jake graduated from Dartmouth College with the class of 1953, where he was a government major and a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity. In the mid-1950s he trained young pilots to fly T-33s as a first lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force and was stationed at Webb Air Force base in Big Spring, Tex. A consummate entrepreneur and businessman, he was a founding partner and CEO of Fairfield Communities Land Company, Inc., which built resort communities throughout the south and southwest. It was headquartered in Little Rock, Ark., where he lived from 1966 until 1976. His first marriage to Elizabeth Jones ended in divorce. He and his second wife, Catherine Hohenlohe and family moved to Delray Beach in 1976. He was the founder and general partner of Connark Company, an investment and real estate development company located in Delray Beach. In the 1980s, Jake served on the board of trustees of Newmont Mining Company. He was an active philanthropist along with his wife, including serving on the board of directors for the Achievement Centers for Children and Families Foundation of Delray since 1998.
Jake and Catherine bought their house on Chappaquiddick in 1979 and thus began a love affair with Martha's Vineyard. With offspring living all over the U.S. and abroad, Chappaquiddick remained through the years as "family central" and Jake instilled a love for the Vineyard and Island life in them all. His idea of a perfect day started with an early morning solitary row in his dinghy on Caleb's Pond; a trip with a grandchild into Edgartown to pick up the papers by whaler or by the On Time ferry (along with a chat about the weather and tides); sailing on White Wings or Pogue About with other family in the afternoon; little necks on the half-shell with cocktails; and fresh fish at dinner with all the family members and friends who could be squeezed at the table. He counted among his friends many year-round and summer residents, and over the years he and Catherine generously supported dozens of Vineyard organizations, including the YMCA, the Martha's Vineyard Preservation Trust, the Sheriff's Meadow Foundation, the Trustees of Reservation, the Martha's Vineyard Hospital, the Red Stocking Fund and Vineyard House.
Jake was a lifelong student of European and North American history and a resolute Republican, though many tried to sway him. In his great respect for education, he and Catherine awarded private scholarships for higher education to numerous deserving young people. He was a natural athlete and always fit, walking, rowing or swimming daily until within weeks of his death.
He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Catherine H. Jacobus, six children and their families: daughter Ann Jacobus Kordahl and husband Jim Kordahl of San Francisco, Calif.; son William R. Jacobus and wife Crystal Jacobus of Tallahassee, Fla.; daughter Sarah Lacy Jacobus of Dallas, Tex.; daughter Alexandra Cook and husband John Conforti of Boston; son Todd H. Jacobus and wife Shana Jacobus of Chevy Chase, Md.; and son Christian H. Jacobus of Saginaw, Mich.; 12 adoring and devoted grandchildren; one great-grand child; a brother, Todd Barry Jacobus and wife Patty Jacobus of Little Rock, Ark., and three nieces.
A memorial service will be held at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 188 South Swinton Boulevard in Delray Beach, at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 12, 2013, with a reception immediately following at the church. Arrangements are under the care of Lorne and Sons Funeral Home of Delray Beach.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations will be gratefully accepted at the Achievement Center for Children and Families Foundation of 555 Northwest 4th Street, Delray Beach, FL 33444 or online at delraychild.org.

Held second Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m., May through August. Read the books then join fellow book lovers at the library to listen and share your thoughts. Experience the adventure of books you might not have discovered on your own and remember: there aren't any right or wrong responses in literary interpretation - just differences of opinion! May 14: "The Light Between Oceans" by M.L. Stedman. Tom Sherbourne is a lighthouse keeper on Janus Rock, a tiny island a half day's boat journey from the coast of Western Australia. When a baby washes up in a rowboat, he and his young wife, Isabel, decide to raise the child as their own. The baby seems like a gift from God, and the couple's reasoning for keeping her seduces the reader into entering the waters of treacherous morality even as Tom - whose moral code withstood the horrors of World War I - begins to waver. June 11: "Cannery Row" by John Steinbeck. Unburdened by the material necessities of the more fortunate, the denizens of Cannery Row discover rewards unknown in more traditional society. Cannery Row is just a few blocks long, but the story it harbors is suffused with warmth, understanding, and a great fund of human values. July 9: "The Chaperone" by Laura Moriarty.

Many iPhone and iPad users had a more peaceful New Year's Day than they expected yesterday, with iOS's Do Not Disturb feature failing to turn itself off when it should.
Do Not Disturb allows users to set a period during which calls, texts and other alerts are automatically silenced (although Alarm alerts sound as normal). When that period ends, life should resume as normal: but yesterday, it didn't. Users say the same thing's happening today, and report that turning the phone off and on again does nothing to fix the problem.
Apple's acknowledged the bug, which appears to be affecting users all over the world. "Some people are reporting problems with the 'Do Not Disturb' feature," says the company in a discussion forum. "If you want to turn off "Do not Disturb", go to Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb and slide "Scheduled" to OFF."
It's by no means the first time that Apple devices have had trouble with dates. Last year, many users found that a one-time alarm set for New year's Day failed to go off, and the company's had repeated difficulties dealing with the change to Daylight Saving Time.
This time, though, there's a whole extra level of embarrassment for the company. As Apple users across the US scratched their heads at what was happening - or not happening - with their phones, some will have turned on the television... to see a new ad for the iPhone 5 being aired by the company.
It shows tennis star sisters Venus and Serena Williams playing table tennis in a dream - and advertises the Do Not Disturb feature.
