United States' Boudia edges Qiu for diving gold
LONDON – David Boudia ended a gold-medal drought for the United States with a dramatic last dive that scored the most points of the 10-meter platform competition at the Olympics on Saturday night.
Boudia's victory by 1.08 points over Qiu Bo of China gave the U.S. its first gold in diving since 2000, and was the first by an American man since the late Mark Lenzi won the 3-meter springboard at the 1992 Barcelona Games.
"Oh, my God, I don't have words for it," said Greg Louganis, the diving great who swept the springboard and platform events at the 1984 and 1988 Olympics and who has mentored Boudia.
On the medals stand, Boudia wiped his brow as if to say, "Whew!"
It was that close.
The American scored 568.65 points in the six-dive final. Qiu took the silver at 566.85.
Tom Daley of Britain settled for the bronze at 556.95 after leading going into the final dive in front of a raucous home crowd that included David Beckham and his three sons.
"Tom Daley dove the lights out, Qiu Bo dove the lights out," Boudia said. "I only did what I do in practice."
Daley scored 90.75 on his last dive, including one 10, but Boudia and Qiu each did the same tougher dive in the last round.
Boudia, tied for second with Qiu going into the last round, scored 102.60 points on a back 21/ 2somersault with 21/ 2 twists pike worth a 3.6 degree of difficulty. It was the highest score of any dive in the final.
Qiu followed him and scored 100.80, not quite enough to deliver a seventh gold for China in these games.
"I was very nervous," Qiu said through a translator. "I have competed so many times but I have never had that much nervousness."
China won six golds, first losing the men's 3-meter springboard to spoil its bid for a sweep of the eight gold medals, and then coming up short in the last diving event at the London Games.
Qiu rested his head against the wall behind the diving boards in anguish.
"It is OK," the 19-year-old diver said. "I am still young and I will be back."
Boudia, meanwhile, shared in a group hug with his coaches and teammates, a broad smile on his face.
"I dreamed about this," Boudia said. "It didn't even feel like I was diving it was so surreal."
The 23-year-old diver from Noblesville, Ind., came out to find his family and friends after the medals ceremony. Boudia climbed into the stands to share hugs and kisses with his supporters who wore royal blue T-shirts with "Boudia" on the back.
Nick McCrory, the other American, finished ninth in his first Olympics.
"I knew he could do it," he said, referring to Boudia. "He was ending with a solid dive and he hit it. I'm so happy for him. He really earned it."

Love these!
"I bought these in silver to go with a bridesmaids dress and I am very pleased! They are more comfortable than I thought they would be and pretty easy to walk in. Even though they have a clasp, they can be slipped on and off. I was worried my pinky toe would get crushed, but they fit comfortably so they are probably a little more on the wide side. I would definitely recommend these!"

One Last Standing Ovation: Why Joshua Ledet Came Just Shy of 'American Idol' Glory
Though Jessica Sanchez is certainly one of the most vocally talented contestants American Idol has seen, viewers were surprised when she took the spot in the final 2 many of us had assumed would go to Joshua Ledet. He has consistently delivered, and brought the judges to their feet more than any other contestant this season. So why was he eliminated? I have 5 guesses.
1. Over-Ovation. Joshua Ledet received over 15 standing ovations from the judges this season. That is just far too much exercise for a reality TV panel of judges devoted to one contestant. Many theorize that the over-hyping of Joshua led to his eventual demise. We don't mind being encouraged to vote one way or another by experts, but it's another thing entirely when a contestant is being shoved down our throats. He is amazing, yes, but the constant praise became rather grating and turned some of us against the judge favorite.
2. Relevancy. Joshua is a soul singer, and someone who can sing a lot of classics will typically do well in the competition that throws various themes and genres at the contestants week after week. But now we're at the point in American Idol where viewers will ask themselves who will be the most relevant as a pop star or a modern artist, and Joshua wasn't always delivering song choices that proved his ability to make it as a current artist. His more energetic, modern covers didn't stand out the way his take on old soul hits did.
3. Audience. Joshua became my personal favorite after Skylar Laine was eliminated, but he has been a favorite of my parents for much longer. Do my parents vote? No. They either read the recaps here, or watch a recorded episode much later in the week. It's possible that Joshua's audience, likely an older audience who likes the aforementioned classics, isn't a voting audience. Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez may be more accessible to the target demographic, who are the ones picking up their phones and voting online.
4. "Imagine." Ugh, this song. It just didn't suit Joshua, and though he managed to sneak it into the middle of the triple play program, it stood out as a sore thumb. Jimmy Iovine mentioned in his critiques that Joshua didn't really have a moment in the Top 3 episode, and he needs one every week to stay in this. He didn't have a moment, and Phillip certainly did. I'm not sure Jessica had a moment either, but she also didn't choose such a crummy, over-performed song for herself.
5. Ice Cream Every Day. Joshua's personality was a little more subdued and shy, but his performing personality was big and, at times, almost too strong. I'm going to use the old trope about having ice cream every day. People, generally, love ice cream, but parents and other annoying people are always telling us that we wouldn't love it if we had to eat ice cream every day. We would also get very fat. Anyway, Joshua performing dramatic, gospel-y, emotionally wrought performances every week for 12 weeks in a row, could have spoiled us on him a little. At first we were like, "wow! Mint chip is the best!" But after 12 weeks we're all, "I hate mint chip. It's too shouty and I have to fast-forward through it." I don't know, it's not my strongest theory, but maybe we soured on him at just the wrong time.
Some where are they now?
Justin Guarini Will Star in Muny Production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
The singing actor will star in The Muny's production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which runs July 23-29. The production will mark Guarini's Muny debut.
"I'm thrilled to be playing the role of Joseph," Guarini said in a statement. "Being able to do it in front of 11,000 people every night, outside and under the stars, is truly magical. I'm honored to be part of the history and tradition of The Muny."
Justin Guarini, a contestant on the first season of the reality show "American Idol," has been seen on Broadway in American Idiot and Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. Last year, he starred as Roger in Surflight's production of Rent.
Guarini will also offer a solo concert, From American Idol to Broadway, March 2 at 8 PM at the Landmark on Main Street in Port Washington, NY. The Landmark on Main Street is located at 232 Main Street. For more information and tickets, visit www.landmarkonmainstreet.org.
American Idol's Colton Dixon says that he was upset with Jimmy Iovine for comparing him to Phillip Phillips.
Why the Idol judges' save won't help Jessica win
"We were both pretty upset the way he presented it," Dixon tells TVGuide.com. "I remember walking in and [Jimmy] said, 'All right, let's cut the B.S. It's you or Phillip.' We get that it's a TV show, but at the same time [we were] still shocked at how far they'll go to create some drama."
How does American Idol's DeAndre deal with all that hair?
In the video below, the Tennessee native shares his shock at getting eliminated after never being in the bottom three, why he didn't like how the judges practically forced him to audition and whether or not he'll keep his signature Mohawk-like 'do.
I thought for sure you hadn't read mine!
Oh I read them, I just have never before seen anyone's posts on this forum to simultaneously contain such pomposity and ignorance.
I'm sorry I posted number 10,000. If I had known you really wanted it that bad I would have stepped away from the keyboard.
Diamond's got nice color to it. He needs a haircut. HIs face is too long for that hair but maybe he's on bway.
ROTFLOL!!! Awesome!!!
See you next year :)
Responding to your post to big and lil
Thats great news if it means you will be hosting a thread next season.
Barry out, you hosting AI thread 2013 can be a great year.....
Is the tween birth rate down? A retooling for an older audience who likes faster music and less screaming just might work..... : )
Don't know, but can observe that tweens act like infants in some cases.
No logic for actions, just pure emotions, and no reflection on consequences of behavior.
Being in the older generation we are surprised how many of us there are that appreciate music of all styles , when we an understand it, and it's based on
the persons ability.
Not some gyrating dancers, overblown production, or audio enhancements that make up for the lack of talent.
Have a nice break till the next season. Will be looking for your next you tube
I have 5 guesses.
Very good observations. Agree with your analysis
That was from that article, but I thought it was a pretty accurate article. The judges hurt Joshua with all that fawning over him. Best singer in 50 years? please.
Best singer in 50 years? please.
I'm convinced they don't think about what they say.
Just blurt it out , and hope it makes sense, or sticks......
I may watch X Factor but have no idea when it starts. America's Got Talent was in St. Pete, Fl this weekend auditioning.
Maybe there are too many talent shows and not enough viewers to go around.
I hate voting but I voted for P2 cuz I can only imagine what he's really capable of when he's not in severe pain.
See you next AI.
Grazie a te, amico carissimo!!!
American Idols Phillip Phillips Sets Record, Surgery Postponed
American Idol winner Phillip Phillips single 'Home' reached No. 2 on the Digital Songs chart this week with 278,000 downloads. Thats the highest Idol debut ever. Phillip, 21, suffers from severe kidney stones. Phillip endured eight surgeries throughout the competition and was supposed to have another surgery last Tuesday. TMZ reports the surgery had to be postponed because Phillip was running a high fever as a result of a bad sinus infection. Phillip Phillips surgery is rescheduled for early next week.
In addition to the highest debut ever, 'Home' is the second highest digital sales week for an American Idol contestant, with only Kelly Clarksons 'My Life Would Suck Without You' ahead of Home.
Phillips single is also the fourth-largest debut of the year, trailing behind Justin Biebers 'Boyfriend, 'Maroons 'Payphone,' and Katy Perrys 'Part of Me.' Considering Phillip Phillips was playing Sanford and Son with his father just a few months ago, thats quite impressive compared to those big names. Bieber! Levine!
Despite the health challenges and the 'white guy with a guitar' stigma surrounding him, Phillips post-Idol career is off to a remarkable start.
'American Idol' Video: Scotty McCreery Changes His Name for Conan
June 05, 2012 08:10 AM EDT
American Idol wrapped its season, and as things head towards season twelve, the season ten winner Scotty McCreery is showing that he can poke fun at himself and he used his singing talent to do it. McCreery appeared on Conan on Monday night to help the host prove that once again - he doesn't make mistakes.
Obviously, Conan made one when he talked about McCreery with another celebrity. The host said the singer's name wrong, but Scotty showed that he was willing to go that extra mile to help Conan out. Since the end of season ten, Scotty has been busy balancing his normal life with his music career. He made it a point to try to be as normal as possible with everything surrounding him.
With Phillip Phillips winning season eleven last month, Scotty no longer has the spotlight of being the current American Idol winner trained on him. That should make life a little bit easier for him to handle.
This short video does show Scotty singing a song he wrote just for Conan. He definitely shows here that he has a sense of humor. Not everyone can poke fun at their own name for the world to see. The fan that sent in the mistake had a song performed by Scotty in his honor. That fan probably doesn't mind Conan poking a little fun at him after that.

American Idol Winner Phillip Phillips' Kidney Surgery "Went Well"
American Idol winner Phillip Phillips is on the mend!
The 21-year-old singer successfully underwent kidney surgery Wednesday, his rep confirms to E! News.
"Surgery went well," his rep says. "He's resting and will be ready for the idol tour kickoff in July!"
Just a few weeks ago, Phillips came close to quitting the competition when his "right kidney kind of [wasn't] functioning."
MORE: Yes, That Was the Least-Watched American Idol Finale Forever, But...
The Idol winner told us he had "some bad days and some pretty good days" during his stint on the show. "It was rough at times, and there were a couple of times I thought about going ahead and getting the surgery done But I had a lot of great doctors and a lot of great people who helped me out through it. I'm blessed to have had that."
We're certainly glad Phillips is feeling better! The 45-date American Idol Live! tour kicks off July 6 in Detroit.
What an inspiration he's become. Second runner up didn't come close in the voting. She'll be fine if she cuts out all the unnecessary growling and riffing. When she sang straight, she was really good.

'American Idol' eyeing Adam Lambert as replacement for Jennifer Lopez
I've seen other articles saying he would replace Randy. I don't care who he would replace since if he becomes a judge, I won't watch.
Looks like " Yo Dog" will team with Mariah Carey.
Will be interesting to see who the 3rd spot is filled with.
In the meantime will watch X Factor to see if it is any better than last season
Thanks. I thought their was more to the story.
Hope we get some good replacements. Wouldn't be sorry to see randy leave.
Yeah, Randy hasn't brought much to the party for the last couple of years. Maybe more. I see they are also considering going with three new judges each year.
Mariah Carey is one of the new judges.
Who would you like to see in the other spot/ spts.
Nick Jonas, Pharrell Williams In Talks to Become New American Idol Judges
Crud, If its these two and Mariah, I think I'll pass.
Is anyone out there watching X-Factor?
It looks like jonny is taking a vacation too.
I watched for about 15 mins & couldn't take it. Not worth watching without you all!
Was it on last night? I completely forgot (not really ;)
I guess it's official. We have new judges in Mariah Carey (quality singer), Keith Urban (quality singer), and (gag) Nicki Minaj (worse singer than Fantasia, if that's humanly possible), along with a returning Randy Jackson (I heard he was in Journey).
Waves at Jonny!,, hi Jonny!
Why do they insist on 4 judges? Takes too long.
We set the DVR to record it then breeze thru it.

|In response to Re: rough-in change on toilet
: I have an old wall-mounted toilet tank that has a 2" line that runs to the back of the bowl section. This thing uses about 6+/- gallons per flush. It has a 15" rough-in (distance from wall to bolt holes). I want to put a 1.6 gallon (per flush) toilet in but most have a 12" rough-in. Other than the back of the tank being 3" from the wall are there any other ramifications that I need to be aware of if I go to the new system??

How many arguments have you "won" on a message board with those 25,000 posts?
Your posts on SECr are atrocious because you lack economical and logical sense. However, I don't hold it against you as most women are emotionally driven and there are a lot of them around.
Plus, I need a few people to kick sand in their eyes and you fit the bill nicely. Do not go anywhere.
Sunhog lets get some more them sunhog pics we have grown accustomed to seeing on here. Frick the hate just show the ladies.
More YouTube videos?
13 posts a day for 5 year is very impressive.
Tell me what I need to know about this board to keep up with your dedication to fantasy land, considering I have many years to make it to your level?
Yes, it is going well my threads always deliver for entertainment unlike yours.
Assuming that everything you claim is true, you might be the most pathetic poster that I have ever seen on here.
Entertainment continues.

I am pretty sure that everyone reading this will be aware that the one thing that Teflon cannot stop sticking is tales of toxicity. Teflon, and other generic non-stick coatings made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) have a tendency, at high heat, to break apart and emit a toxic – and probably carcinogenic – gas that can kill birds and causes a delightful condition called `polymer-fume fever' in humans.
Great to know this, but what to do about it? Abandon all non-stick pans and dedicate ourselves to scrubbing? Or seek non-toxic, non-stick alternatives?
For me, it is a combination of the two. Fortunately I can scrub my stainless pans to death with the Lagostina abrasive stainless cleaner that I wrote about before. I have also been experimenting with – and will later write about – different ceramic frying pan coatings.
When it comes to baking, I use silicon sheets under my cookies. The best-known brand is Silipat. Another, possibly slightly cheaper, brand is Exopat. The sheets are around $20 each which is not cheap but they really do last (several thousand uses according to the manufacturer). They also do double duty as they are great for rolling out pastry etc; they grip your worktop not your food.
I used to use non-stick sheets from Lakeland in the UK, until I saw that these were PTFE coated too. (While baking sheets are unlikely to be heated high enough to generate toxic fumes, the whole idea of PTFE puts me off, especially since Dupont – Teflon's maker – paid out on a class-action lawsuit for elevated birth defects surrounding a PTFE manufacturing plant). So look closely at the label when you buy.
For loaves I use silicon or stoneware but, as I hate greasing pans, I am still on the look out for an easy option.
For larger baking pans (think brownies), my new favourite is a line of non-stick glass bakeware sold under the President's Choice label at Loblaws stores in Canada.
The pans are coated with silicone nano-particles
(are these nano-partcles we can love? I hope so), that go under the brand name Nami. A company named Green Apple used to sell similar pans in the US, although it looks as though they may have gone out of business. In Germany, Wesco sells a nice range of ceramic pans (including ramekins) with Nami-coating.
The President's Choice Nami bakeware looks like normal pyrex (and is made of borosilicate glass, just like glass drinking straws), but with a lightly frosted surface. And it really works. No greasing required so no baked-on oil or food to scrub off.
The downsides are price
(pans range from $11.99 to $19.99), available shapes (bring on that loaf tin) and the fact that sharp utensils can cause scratches (though the label says this will not damage the Nami's non-stick properties). Plus the carbon footprint of this range is likley to be high, since pans are heavy and made in China (much glass cookware is still US-made).
Oh, and the big catch: handwashing is recommend. So you take your pick: handwashing or greasing. I have to say that I prefer the former, though I may be alone in this (I have also risked the delicate cycle on my washing-up machine and seen no damage yet).

My dd who will be 2 next month has in the past few days been having a hard time going to sleep. as it is she's up 2 hours past the time she normally is asleep. Also, when she is asleep she has bad dreams and cries out in her sleep and tosses and turns. She sleeps right next to me, but that doesn't seem to alleviate her fears. Normally she is pretty easy to put down--rock and nurse to sleep for naps and night, but not this past week. I'm running out of steam, and she won't go to sleep for dh. She just cries and cries for me until my nerves can't handle it and i take over. Anyone else gone through this before? any suggestions or answers to what's going on would be greatly appreciated!

Side Event Sport against homophobia
Speech by Mr. Karel J.G. van Oosterom
Permanent Representative of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the UN
on the occasion of the side-event Sport Against Homophobia
organized by the LGBT-Core Group in New York on International Human Rights Day
New York, 10 December 2013
Your Excellencies, dear guests, dear colleagues, dear friends,
Let me welcome everyone to our event "SPORT COMES OUT AGAINST HOMOPHOBIA". Wonderful to see such a full house.
My name is Karel van Oosterom, Permanent representative of the Netherlands, and I speak in my capacity as Chair of the core group of countries which promote LGBTI rights here at the UN.
Before kicking-off the event, I would like to pay tribute to Nelson Mandela. Nelson Mandela fought all of his life for equality for all, because -in his words- "to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others". The Constitution of South-Africa is the first of its kind that specifically includes protection from discrimination based on sexual orientation. That Constitution mirrors Mandela's conviction. May his vision inspire us all.
Today is Human Rights Day. A day to celebrate the human rights we exercise every day. But also a day to remind us of the responsibility that falls on each and every one of us to promote and protect human rights.
Today's event builds on the Universal Declaration on Human Rights that human rights apply to all. Today we celebrate its 65th anniversary.
This is the fifth event organized since 2009 on Human Rights Day, on the need to end violence and discrimination against LGBTI-people.
The aim of today is to send a common, coherent and unified message in the world. A message you see up on the screen:
Human rights equal LGBTI rights. LGBTI rights equal Human Rights. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Plain and simple: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people are entitled to the same human rights as everyone else.
We support all of those who promote and protect human rights for all.
This spirit of sport is the spirit of human rights: fairness, respect and solidarity
Together we seek to make the world safer, freer, and fairer for LGBTI people everywhere
I urge you to send out that message, both in personal contacts, on twitter, Facebook, interviews etc. See sheet with tweet messages.
The recent adoption of the LGBT-Declaration by the ministers of Foreign Affairs of today's organizing countries is proof that there is growing political commitment. But more and different voices are needed to achieve the goal of real equality.
A sample of those voices is brought together in today's panel.
Tumi Thandeka Nkhuma, from South-Africa, Hida Viloria, from the USA and Anastasia Smirnova from Russia; I pay tribute to your tireless efforts for laws, policies and their implementation which promote and protect the dignity of LGBTI-people.
Let me also acknowledge Martina Navratilova and Jason Collins: you are helping to improve the often hostile climate towards LGBT-people by talking positively about these issues and educating sports fans in the process.
Our moderator of today: Thomas Roberts, award-winning journalist, successful news anchor. Your vocal support on gay rights is admirable.
Assistant Secretary-general Simonevic. Your Office has done crucial work in promoting and protecting human rights for LGBTI-people. We highly value the clear position of the Secretary General and the whole UN framework on this key issue.
All of you are crucial promoters of our core message: LGTBTI rights equal human rights, and human rights equal LGBTI rights.
Let me conclude by thanking the organizers of today; it is a long list so let me finish and then join me in a resounding round of applause: Argentina, Brazil, Croatia, El Salvador, the European Union, France, Israel, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, the US, the UN human rights office, UN Women, Human Rights Watch, the International Gay & Lesbian Human rights Committee, Global Action Initiatives and United For Equality In Sports & Entertainment.

AU Student Filmmaker Scholars Program Receives $10,000 Grant from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will provide seven Washington D.C.-area high school students with scholarships to attend a three-week hands-on workshop that includes all aspects of filmmaking from script to screen through a $10,000 grant supporting the Student Filmmaker Scholars Program.
The program is offered by Discover the World of Communication, an American University School of Communication initiative, which offers high school students an extraordinary summer opportunity to explore the field of communication in a dynamic university setting. The priority of the Student Filmmaker Scholars Program is to identify minority and female budding filmmakers.
DWC Director Sarah Menke-Fish is thrilled that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has chosen to support the program. "This funding will allow us to reach students who have not traditionally been able to participate in DWC. " She says that the Scholars will reap a range of benefits from the program. "It's not only an outlet for their creative passion, but also professional development. Students make a real product for a real audience. It can and frequently does serve as a portfolio piece for the student's college application."
Menke-Fish, a professor of Film and Media Arts, created and launched DWC, which has turned out over 3,000 alumni over the past 18 years. She also directs AU's University College, a premier living, learning and laboratory experience for first-year college students and serves as associate director for the Center for Environmental Filmmaking.
In the Scholars Program, which is taught by working professionals Steven Holloway and Shannon Schenck with visits by Oscar- and Emmy-winning guest lecturers, participants begin by developing story ideas into scripts, covering topics such as basics of story craft, creating characters, and formatting a screenplay.
Next, the students transition to film production, learning the basic principles of 16mm production, lighting concepts, dual system sound recording, and pre-production planning. They rotate through different roles on set to get the most hands-on experience. This includes director, assistant director, cinematographer, script supervisor, grip, sound mixer, and more.
Finally, post-production topics including editing on Final Cut Pro, sound design and film marketing and promotion are covered. Students present their final projects at a screening attended by peers, instructors, and community members.
During class and after hours, students explore Washington, D.C. and the communication field from a variety of angles. Students view live television and radio broadcasts at local studios such as NBC 4, WTTG Fox 5, NPR and ESPN Radio, cover a Nationals baseball game or WNBA game from a press seat, and tour local attractions including the National Zoo, Newseum, National Cathedral, Georgetown and the Smithsonian museums.

"We had a hot air balloon theme that had banners hanging, and this sticker was a PERFECT way to send off our guests. We used these on his party favor bags, and it just looked really adorable."
"I ordered these labels to place on favor bags for my husband's 50th birthday. They look exactly as shown. They were shipped quickly and I received them earlier than I expected,which helped a great deal. I would certainly order from here again!!"
"I love this gift tag. I use it on my baked goods that I give out but would be very cute for child OR adult birthday gift tag."
"This choice was perfect for me and my baby shower party favors. My order was deliveedr a day earlier than the suggested time, and the stickers were the perfect size and easy to remove from the backing and apply to the gift. I will definitely order other products! Thanks."
"While the sample makes this look like a label, I edited so there is a "to: " line and a from line (e.g. From: Matthew and Andrew). I love these as birthday present gift tags."

So So
Timeline or not or whatever... its clear this is after the hirako shinji and his gang are exiled together with urahara...... aizen is tracking them in the real world, aizen, gin, tousen replace their ranks, hitsu, matsumoto is in G13 which means its after TBTP arc.... and nothing more... the only thing that is a mystery is the exact years before the bleach storyline.. that is why i said earlier its 100 years to before ichigo was born... that is the only logical and realistic date
I think all this speculation is too difficult to put together, I mean if quincies are supposed to age like humans then how does one explain juha bach? The dude forgot the CC a 1000 years ago so something is definitely off tangent here...not to mention consistency isn't exactly Kubo's forte.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise

Then again, it all depends on how the time flows in both of these worlds. If time was flowing faster in SS, then naturally, they would need to live longer, in order to match the actual life span of humans living in the real world, so that the circulation of souls would be preserved and balanced. What's more, we don't know if the weight of the soul in human bodies, is the same as those in SS. If the spirits in SS have souls of much greater weight, then this would explain why the quantity of souls in the Human World doesn't affect the balance much, even if they are a few 100?, 1000? times more in HR than in SS.
It's also possible that while the souls are in human bodies, they don't weight/count at all, making the balance disrupted only by hollows + free souls in Human Realm and on the other side, those in the SS.
As far as I know, Souls in SS or HM cannot be in physical bodies, so they have to be spirits. Also Human spirits are reincarnated back to the real world, so I don't think they die in SS unless killed by hollows or shinigami.
Finally, the question I tried to answer related to Juha Bach's age. The answer I came up with was that Juha Bach does not currently have a physical body, so if he ages the same way that shinigami do, he could easily be several hundred years old.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !

Tatted up model Lewis Grant adds a new dimension to the urban cowboy in Takeshy Kurosawa's Spring-Summer 2012 campaign entitled, "White Trash & Used Denim." This playful campaign puts a fun spin on Kurosawa's Western style shirts, distressed jeans and other vintage washed denim offerings. The entire collection seems to be a bit of a throwback, from tapered jeans-like silhouettes to cuffed denim bermuda shorts.

John Singleton Brings Impossible Dream of 'A-Team' Adaptation to Screen
We've long believed that of all of Mr. T's deeply subversive acting work of the '80s, nothing demands a more serious reappraisal through the prism of contemporary social issues than The A-Team. Especially an A-Team directed by John Singleton, whom Fox has nabbed for its feature-length adaptation to open in summer 2009. Alas, with the updating reportedly focusing on a group of Iraq War veterans railroaded for a crime they didn't commit, Singleton requires a kinder, gentler, less gold-plated 'Nam vet anti-hero B.A. Baracus to carpool his batch of mercenaries in that famous black van.
Longtime Singleton cohort Ice Cube is the natural choice for the job, but at 38, is he too old? Woody Harrelson has likewise been rumored to sign on as Baracus' fool nemesis Howlin' Mad Murdock; that'll never happen. We'd rather see the races and roles reversed, actually, perhaps with an especially loco Tracy Morgan taunting Ryan Gosling's brooding, post-traumatic-stress-addled Murdock, with their nurturing mentor Hannibal Smith, played by a begloved Alec Baldwin, philosophizing over cheap cigars and the glory days of the first Iraq War. Surely Luke Wilson can clear space in his schedule for a postmodern turn as smooth operator Faceman. The short-lived journalist Amy Allen could stand to make a revival as well — perhaps Winona Ryder can bring her refurbished CVS Drama School gifts to the formidable boy's club, assuming she can avoid community service.

Bills sign QB Kyle Orton
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Aug 30 2014 10:24AM
The Buffalo Bills have found themselves a new backup quarterback, and this one is likely going to stick.
The Bills have officially signed former Chicago, Denver, Kansas City and Dallas quarterback Kyle Orton to serve as the backup to starter EJ Manuel. Orton has 70 career starts to his name and has won exactly half of them. Over his eight years of experience, the quarterback has thrown for 15,019 yards, 83 touchdowns and 59 interceptions with a 58.5 completion percentage.
Orton was thought to be the top backup in Dallas when the offseason began in 2014, but chose not to report to offseason workouts and instead mulled retirement from the NFL. In the final year of his three-year contract with the Cowboys, Orton was officially released by the team in mid-July.
His contract with the Bills will have a choice for the quarterback. According to Tim Graham of The Buffalo News, the one-year deal also includes a player option for a second season with the team.
Financial terms of the contract have yet to be disclosed, but a league source tells WGR Sports Radio 550 that it's for "top backup money." Orton will take over for Jeff Tuel as the main backup quarterback to Manuel. The Bills' efforts with both Thad Lewis and Jordan Palmer as a potential second-string quarterback failed this summer, leading to the release of both players over the past four days. The team later released Tuel on Saturday.

Your basic eligibility for federal and state financial aid is determined by the FAFSA or the California Dream Act Application (for AB540 students NOT eligible for Federal financial aid). Financial aid awards are based on your eligibility and need, and are initially offered based on full-time enrollment. The number of units in which you are actually enrolled may impact the amount of financial aid you receive for various aid programs (actual enrollment does NOT include courses for which you are waitlisted).
Final enrollment for a semester is measured at University Census (the last day of the add/drop period for a semester – typically occurs the Friday of the fourth week of the semester). Prior to Census, Financial Aid Awards and disbursements are revised for students enrolled less than full-time to match eligibility based on the actual number of units in which students are officially enrolled. The student's enrollment and award is then locked at Census. Open University and all classes taken for audit do NOT qualify for financial aid.
REPEAT COURSEWORK: Once credit has been earned in a course, a student may receive financial aid only for one additional (second) attempt of the same course. A third or subsequent attempt of that same course will not be factored into a student's enrollment status for determining financial aid eligibility. This may impact the types and amounts of financial aid you are eligible to receive. For more information, please contact the Office of Financial Aid.
|Undergraduate Enrollment Status
|Number of Units
|Impact on Award Eligibility
|12 or more units
|Full award eligibility
|9.0 - 11.9 units
Pell Grant* - award prorated to 75%
Cal Grant A & B – award prorated to 75%

|Less than half-time
|1.0 - 5.9 units
|Pell Grant* - award prorated to 25%
Cal Grant A & B – student not eligible
Cal B Subsistence –student not eligible
Loans –student not eligible
*Pell Grants: In some instances a student enrolled in less than 12 units may lose eligibility for his/her Pell Grant, as EFC's in the higher end of the Pell range do not allow for less than full-time awards.
NOTE: Effective Fall 2012, students are limited to a total of six full-time years (600%) of Pell Grant eligibility. The calculation of this total includes previous semesters at CSULB, as well as any attendance at any other school (including Community Colleges) where a Pell Grant was paid. Visit the NSLDS web site to determine the percentage of Pell Grant you have received.
Graduate Students (students who are pursuing a Master's or Doctoral degree) must be enrolled at least half-time in order to be eligible to receive funding from Federal and/or State Financial Aid programs.
For Graduate Students:
|Graduate Enrollment Status
|Number of Units
|Impact on Award Eligibility
|Full-time enrollment
|Master's degree students = 8 units
Doctoral degree students = 6 units
|Full award eligibility
|Half-time enrollment
|Master's degree students = 4 units
Doctoral degree students = 3 units
State University Grant - award adjusted to actual State Tuition Fee
MBA Grant – see below
Loans – award remains at 100%

The 21st Century Legal Team LeaderTuesday, July 27th, 2010
The 21st Century Legal Team Leader
|Pierre Landy, a speaker at the marcus evans European Corporate Counsel Summit 2010, shares his thoughts on the 21st century leadership style.
Interview with: Pierre Landy, Vice President & EMEA General Counsel, Yahoo
The leadership role is transforming completely, according to Pierre Landy, Vice President and EMEA General Counsel at Yahoo. We are going from an employment to a self-employment mentality, and the General Counsel who will be brave enough to endorse this concept will have long-enduring and successful legal teams. A speaker at the marcus evans European Corporate Counsel Summit 2010 taking place in Switzerland, 26 – 28 September, Landy highlights the key steps in the 21st century leadership style, and the best way of identifying the ideal person for each position.
What legal department management style would you recommend?
Pierre Landy: The old leadership style was all about the leader being responsible for doing everything: persuading people to be a part of their team, hammering out how things had to be done, and supervising them to ensure they were done. It was about fitting people into boxes.
At Yahoo, we follow the 21st century leadership style within the EMEA legal team, in which you have to be tough about the objectives you wish to achieve, and manage the outcome and results, not the process. It is all about crafting a vision, a picture of success, which outlines the concrete things that will be happening when you reach the top of your mountain. Jobs must be built around people's strengths to help the organisation tackle its challenges. It is a more hands-off approach to legal department management – letting people tell you how they can contribute to the success of the team and the vision that was given to them.
This is a complete reversal of the former leadership role. It is going from an employment mentality to a self-employment mentality, from a place where managers supervise to one where employees manage themselves. General Counsel who will be brave enough to endorse this new concept will have long-enduring and successful legal teams. This may be difficult for lawyers who love the technicalities of their job, and getting involved in litigation and transactions. The leader's role is to focus on making the team successful and working well together towards a greater aim. It is about getting people to volunteer to be part of your team.
How can the leader effectively communicate organisational objectives to the team?
Pierre Landy: A leader in the 21st century is someone who acts as a conductor of an orchestra and is able to make all the musicians play in harmony in order to create a wonderful symphony. Heads of legal should first give an objective to the team, the vision they have, then ask how they can best contribute towards the big goal. The team must decide how they can contribute to its success; the vision the leader creates must be very detailed and concrete so that people are able to make a judgment about it. The role of the leader is to make sure team members have great clarity around these factors, to end up with a team of self-managing people who take ownership, from making the best contribution to achieving the goals that the leader established.
What is the best way of identifying people's skills?
Pierre Landy: First, create job descriptions with a list of the skills you are looking for. During the interview, ask behavioral questions in order to test how they react in certain environments or situations. Instead of asking them to describe the types of contracts they have worked on, it could be better to ask: "If you are told to work on 10 different things at the same time, all with a deadline of tonight, what would you do?" This type of question does not deal with technical skills, but how a person practically deals with a situation. Based on the answers, one can determine the candidate who will be pragmatic or theoretic. This is the first sign to help you cast your people.
Secondly, when you have new team members, identify their strengths. For example, you can get them to do the test from the book by Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton called, "Now Discover your Strengths".
Look at the roles you have available according to the mission taking place, and remember the analogy: It is about having the right people on the right bus in the right seat. The Yahoo concept pays attention to the diversity of strengths in order to make sure the team is fully effective without ever forgetting that it is also crucial to get the spirit of the team right – the heartbeat of the team – the characteristics that will be a hallmark of your team. Great teams have a similarity of spirit (for example, team members will have a positive approach to things), and a diversity of strengths. If you have diversity of spirit in the team, you then get into trouble.
What long-term strategies would you recommend to General Counsel?
Pierre Landy: The last thing I would recommend to a leader would be to spend a moment discussing their leadership style with team members. Many people take too long trying to figure out how to work with their leaders, which can be easily fixed by the leader pronouncing how to best work with them. By taking a moment to declare their leadership style, they will save so many headaches later on as people will understand how their manager functions.
You need to be strong about the outcomes you want and let your people take ownership for the day to day. Then, you will have a greater chance of getting a team characterised by the quote from Lao Tzu: "A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves."

by Debra Johnson, Published November 01, 2013
YPSILANTI – In his latest film, "Restraint and Seclusion: Hear Our Stories," Dan Habib describes the traumatic, dangerous and dehumanizing experiences that four students had to endure while attending public school.
Habib, a photojournalist and documentary filmmaker at the Institute on Disability at the University of New Hampshire, will be the special guest speaker at the 2013-14 John W. Porter Distinguished Chair in Urban Education Speaker Series at Eastern Michigan.
The screening of Habib's film will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 6, at 7 p.m. in the Roosevelt Hall auditorium, located on Eastern's campus. Following the film, Habib will take questions and then join a panel of colleagues to discuss the film. The event is free and open to the public. Please visit the EMU Campus Map for directions.
In the 27-minute documentary, Jino Medina, Brianna Hammon, Helena Stephenson and Peyton Goddard describe the devastating physical and emotional injuries they received during restraint and seclusion while students in public schools. Carolyn Medina and Wil Beaudoin, both parents of children who were restrained and placed in seclusion, describe how their children's experiences have impacted them as parents.
Medina, now 12 years old, first experienced restraint and seclusion at age 10. Though he's been moved to a new school now, he continues to experience vision loss, absence seizures and other neurological injuries he suffered during restraint and seclusion.
Hammon, now 29 years old, was placed in a segregated classroom at the age of 8, which was built for kids who were physically disabled. She had difficulty speaking and did not have the benefit of a speech-generating device to help her communicate at that time.
Stephenson, now 24 years old, was considered a child with special needs. She had to endure mental and physical abuse starting at age 13 and was locked in a storage room for 35 consecutive days of solitary confinement. Stephenson has Asperger's syndrome.
Goddard, now 37, spent two decades in special education classrooms where she experienced aversive restraints, punitive seclusion, and physical, mental and sexual abuse. Unable to tell her parents of this abuse, she could only express herself through self-destructive behaviors.
The John W. Porter Distinguished Chair in Urban Education is named in honor of the late John W. Porter, a former Eastern Michigan University president who served with distinction from 1979-89. The Lecture Series was established to expand the EMU College of Education's role in urban education and provide a venue for stimulating discussions to promote urban initiatives.
"The Porter Chair Lecture Series has a long history of providing unique and helpful information on how public education exists in the U.S.," said Derrick Fries, associate professor of special education at Eastern and chairperson for the 2013-14 Porter Lecture Series. "I don't think there is anyone better than Dan Habib to illustrate by film the policy conflicts that exist in all of today's schools."
Habib became passionately involved and focused on the critical issues surrounding individuals with disabilities after his son, Samuel, was born in 2003 with cerebral palsy, a neurological disorder that makes it very difficult to control the muscles.
In his first documentary film, "Including Samuel," Habib chronicles his family's efforts to include their mobility-challenged son in every aspect of life, including attending a regular public school.
"Including Samuel," which debuted in November 2007, examines the educational and social inclusion of youth with disabilities. The 58-minute documentary advocates the merits of inclusive education and incorporates the experiences of other children with physical and emotional disabilities.
Habib's second film project, "Who Cares About Kelsey?" documents the life of Kelsey Carroll, a student riddled with emotional and behavioral challenges, who was also diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), which causes focus, overactive and control behavioral problems, or a combination of these symptoms. The documentary shows the innovative educational approaches that educational leaders took to help Kelsey succeed in school and graduate from high school.
Habib's films have been screened nationally, and have helped spark conversations about empowering emotionally and behaviorally challenged youth across the country and internationally.
Before joining the University of New Hampshire and becoming a filmmaker, Habib was a photojournalist and editor of the Concord Monitor newspaper in New Hampshire. In 2006 and 2008, he was named the national Photography Editor of the Year. He is a six-time New Hampshire Photographer of the Year and his freelance work has appeared in Time, Newsweek and the New York Times. In 2012, Habib received the Champion of Human and Civil Rights Award from the National Education Association, and in 2013 he received the Justice for All Grassroots Award from the American Association of People with Disabilities. Habib, along with his wife Betsy and two sons, Isaiah, 17 and Samuel, 13 reside in Concord, New Hampshire.

* What's so special about the WinPatrol Cloud ?
If "Cloud" sounds stupid and doesn't make sense, think "collaboration". The new version allows everyone in the WinPatrol community to safely share when something new works or doesn't work properly.
The WinPatrol Cloud Edition is considered a "Software-as-a-Service" version of cloud computing and relies on a collaboration approach to bring a huge value to all everyone in the WinPatrol community. Results detected by individual WinPatrol users are collected so everyone using WinPatrol can share their good and bad experiences.
* One part of the WinPatrol Cloud is a poll where the WinPatrol community of users can provide personal feedback on files that are detected. The poll data will be available to both FREE and PLUS users.
