In the lastest chapter, 552, Itachi said Naruto will face off against Madara, most likely as the final battle of the series. So, i had this idea about maybe Naruto would receive one more quick training session. I think maybe its possible the nine tails himself could teach naruto a new technique, here is why.
1. The Kyuubi was sealed within Kushina uzumaki, who knew tons of sealing techniques.
2. The Kyuubi was sealed within Mito Uzumaki, another person who probably knew tons of sealing techniques.
3. the Kyuubi was in the possession of Madara before his battle with the first hokage, so perhaps the Kyuubi knows a lot about Madara's powers and weakness?
4. The Kyuubi seems to have a memory to when he was part of the Jyuubi, as he remarked that naruto is similar to the sage of six paths in chapter 500 when Naruto resealed him after taking control of him.
Overall, i could see this happening so that Naruto could have some advantage against Madara when the fight comes.
What do you think?

The Male Reproductive System
In this article
The internal organs of the male reproductive system, also called accessory organs, include the following:
Epididymis: The epididymis is a long, coiled tube that rests on the backside of each testicle. It transports and stores sperm cells that are produced in the testes. It also is the job of the epididymis to bring the sperm to maturity, since the sperm that emerge from the testes are immature and incapable of fertilization. During sexual arousal, contractions force the sperm into the vas deferens.
Vas deferens: The vas deferens is a long, muscular tube that travels from the epididymis into the pelvic cavity, to just behind the bladder. The vas deferens transports mature sperm to the urethra, the tube that carries urine or sperm to outside of the body, in preparation for ejaculation.
Ejaculatory ducts: These are formed by the fusion of the vas deferens and the seminal vesicles (see below). The ejaculatory ducts empty into the urethra.
Urethra: The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to outside of the body. In males, it has the additional function of ejaculating semen when the man reaches orgasm. When the penis is erect during sex, the flow of urine is blocked from the urethra, allowing only semen to be ejaculated at orgasm.
Seminal vesicles: The seminal vesicles are sac-like pouches that attach to the vas deferens near the base of the bladder. The seminal vesicles produce a sugar-rich fluid (fructose) that provides sperm with a source of energy to help them move. The fluid of the seminal vesicles makes up most of the volume of a man's ejaculatory fluid, or ejaculate.
Prostate gland: The prostate gland is a walnut-sized structure that is located below the urinary bladder in front of the rectum. The prostate gland contributes additional fluid to the ejaculate. Prostate fluids also help to nourish the sperm. The urethra, which carries the ejaculate to be expelled during orgasm, runs through the center of the prostate gland.
- Bulbourethral glands: Also called Cowper's glands, these are pea-sized structures located on the sides of the urethra just below the prostate gland. These glands produce a clear, slippery fluid that empties directly into the urethra. This fluid serves to lubricate the urethra and to neutralize any acidity that may be present due to residual drops of urine in the urethra.

Transitional Discrimination
Elizabeth M. Glazer
Hofstra University - Maurice A. Deane School of Law
Zachary A. Kramer
Arizona State University - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
February 17, 2009
Temple Political & Civil Rights Law Review, 2009
Hofstra Univ. Legal Studies Research Paper No. 09-09
Transgenderism is in transition. The recent decision in Schroer v. Billington offers transgender plaintiffs hopeful precedent, but it is as yet unclear whether other courts will rule the same way in cases of transgender discrimination. This Essay, prepared for the Temple Political and Civil Rights Law Review symposium on transgender rights, argues that in order to ensure more consistent results in cases of transgender discrimination, courts should embrace an understanding of transitional identity. Transitional identity is identity that borrows from one or more extant identities, but which is inchoate, in that the identity does not express fully any of those extant identities. For instance, a religious convert has a transitional identity, because her identity borrows from the religion from which she is converting as well as the religion to which she will convert. Similarly, a transgender person has a transitional identity, because the person's identity borrows from the gender or sex from which the person is transitioning as well as the gender or sex to which the person will transition. This Essay argues that an understanding of transitional identity is preferable - in that it provides a more stable foundation upon which to fight the battle against transgender discrimination - to the prevalent understanding of transgender identity as gender nonconformity.
An overview of transgender discrimination cases in Part I demonstrates the confused conception of transgender identity that has animated courts' decisions. Part II describes what is meant by "transitional identity," and explains how an understanding of transitional identity in antidiscrimination law benefits not only transgender plaintiffs, but antidiscrimination law as a whole. Part III draws on intersectionality theory in developing a theory of transitional discrimination, which is discrimination on the basis of transitional identity. A brief conclusion summarizes this Essay's ideas.

It took a little time, but in the end fans of the Harrisburg and Eldorado girls' basketball team got just what they wanted in the form of a win as the Eagles took out West Frankfort 43-18 and the Bulldogs knocked off Carmi-White County 55-34 in the nightcap of the 27th Annual Harrisburg Invitational Monday night at Davenport Gymnasium.
Both clubs were slow to the start, but Eldorado got the better end of West Frankfort, limiting them to no points in the first quarter as the Eagles built an 11-0 lead.
Harrisburg also had their problems pulling out of the gate as they found themselves tied with CWC 6-6.
But both clubs used a strong second half effort in putting away the opposition.
Eldorado used a 13-4 run to start the third period, while Harrisburg's transition game was off and running.
Eldorado is now 1-1 on the season, while Harrisburg improves to 2-0.
For EHS head coach Josh Bradley, there was one thing he stressed to his club and for him, he's happy that they listened.
"The one thing we stressed after the Goreville game was limiting a team to one shot, which I thought even though we didn't shoot the ball very well at the start and the offense was sluggish, we were able to shut them down by limiting them to one shot."
Harrisburg head coach Jake Stewart echoed some of Bradley's sentiments in regards to his clubs' struggles in the first half, adding that he felt lucky his team was up by four at halftime.
"I thought we came out and were very complacent," Stewart said. "I felt like we let Carmi-White County dictate what they wanted to do and how they wanted to do it. Once we got our transition game going in the second half, I think that loosened us up a little bit."
In the Eldorado game, Ashton Unthank led the Eagles for the second game in row with 18 points.
Bradley said Unthank is Eldorado's most consistent player and as a senior, shows a lot of leadership qualities.
"She's a senior, she wants the basketball and with the offense we run, she's really took the role on of being a penetrator and attacker. She has a strong upper body and if we're going to win basketball games, she's going to have to do what she's been doing the past two games."
Erica Graczyk added eight points for EHS, while Taylor Goodley and Kourtney Phillips each chipped in with six. Paige Zertuche put in three points and Cassidy Morris tacked on two.
Rebecca Cunningham scored a team-high five points for West Frankfort.
For the Bulldogs, they were led by 17 points from Ashley Ferrell and another 10 points from Shelby Boer.
Page 2 of 2 - Getting that kind of production from a guard and forward are what Stewart believes is going to make his club more balanced.
"Ashely's 3-pointer to start the third quarter really propelled the offense," Stewart said. "It really was business as usual for those two girls. I know Lindsey Murray may have had what she considers an off night, but she does so many other things, rebounding, hustling, getting steals and assists that might go unnoticed in the score book, but really does help us out so much."
Murray finished with five points, while Hanna Jones just missed out on a double-double with nine points and nine rebounds. Whitney Younger came off the bench to score six points, while Devan Jones finished with five and Kelsey Hobbs had three points.
Emma Bachman and Sydney Clark, a pair of seniors, helped pace the Carmi-White County offense with 13 and 12 points respectively.

PRICE-Guido Rachiele, owner of Guido's Checkerboard Grocery, returned to our Heavenly Father on Jan. 31, 2010. Guido was born in Helper, Utah on Nov. 22, 1925 to Salvatore and Rosina Marchese Rachiele. He is one of 11 children. On Oct. 19, 1946, he married the love of his life, Dorothy Hammond. Together they were blessed with 62 years of marriage.
Guido was very proud of his Italian heritage. He spoke both languages and was proud to be an Italian-American. In 2002, Guido was named the Grand Marshal of the Carbon County International Days Parade. He held the position to represent his Italian heritage with great pride.
Guido enjoyed sports of all kinds. Guido looked forward to watching baseball, basketball, football and boxing on TV. In the early 1940s he spent time as an amateur boxer at the Elks Club and for Carbon High School. He spent many years on several different bowling leagues.
Most of all he enjoyed playing baseball. He spoke of all the fond memories he had playing ball with his brothers. He was the only one in his family that batted left handed and was great catcher. He played baseball as a child, continued to play through high school, as well as being a part of the state championship teams in 1941 and 1942 for the Helper American Legion. He carried on his love of the game by continuing to play into his 60s for the Old Timer's annual baseball game. In 2005, he was honored to sponsor his great-grandson, Jake's Babe Ruth team, "Guido's" Checkerboard.
At age of 12, Guido started working in the Broadbent Brothers Fruit Stand to help take care of his parents and siblings. Later on he went to work at the Helper Journal and the Denver and Rio Grande Railroads. He had a hand in uranium prospecting with his brothers and father. Guido was a true Carbon County democrat and enjoyed being an active part the Carbon County politics. He served four years as a Price City Councilman, 15 years on the Utah Public Service Commission, 16 years as a Carbon County Commissioner and 37 years as the board clerk for the PRWID. Guido received many awards and recognitions for his dedicated service to the community. He received an honorary degree from the College of Eastern Utah. Guido was very dedicated to the economic growth of Carbon County. His letters to the editor supporting the community will surely be missed.
Guido will be most remembered for the 60 years he dedicated to the community as the owner of, "Guido's" Checkerboard Grocery. On Feb. 1, 1947, he opened his store that became a Carbon County landmark. He touched the lives of several generations through his gentle, kind heart. Whether it was through a free piece of candy for the many children that visited him daily, or a weeks worth of groceries to a family in need. He always made sure each and every person that came into his store knew they were special to him. Guido and his store will be lovingly remembered by all the children buying the penny candy and the old timer's that gathered in the back of the store to discuss the daily politics, community news and personal views on life. His big smile and friendly wave will be truly missed.
Guido is survived by his five children, Michael (Larene) Rachiele, Karyn (Kent) Gilbert, Sarena Shorts, Terry (Georgette) Rachiele, and Rocky (Shaunna) Rachiele, 19 grandchildren, Kelli, Rylan, Andrea, Victor, Tarena, Deidre, Krista, Loni, Jason, Shauntel, Luke, Crystal, Priscilla, Anthony, Samantha, Jacob, Christy, Heidi, Michael and "adopted" granddaughter Anna, 42 great-grandchildren, and several others that called him grandpa, his three brothers, Sam, Henry, and Raymond, and his two sisters, Mickie and Rosie, as well as several very special nieces and nephews, former son-in-law Doug Shorts, former daughter-in-law Michelle Chaparro and Valrie Elwell,
Guido is preceded in death by his loving wife, Dorothy, his parents, three brothers, Al, Orlando, and Rudy; two sisters, Helen and Vee; former son-in-law Ray "Sonny" Turner, former daughter-in-law, Alene Rachiele and grandson-in-law Zeph Knighton.
Funeral service, Friday Feb. 5, 2010, 1 p.m., Mitchell Funeral Home. Family will be at Mitchell's Thursday evening from 6-7 p.m. and Friday one hour prior to service. Interment, Cliffview Cemetery, 800 North 1400 East in Price.
In lieu of flowers, please donate money to the Children's Justice Center in honor of Guido. He always wanted to make sure that all the children were taken care of.

40 Years Ago: 'Beck, Bogert & Appice' Album Released
In an era rife with hastily assembled supergroups, the union of guitarist Jeff Beck, vocalist/bassist Tim Bogert and drummer/vocalist Carmine Appice into a power trio named simply, uh, Beck, Bogert & Appice was unusually long-in-the making.
Although the power trio's eponymous debut album was released in March of 1973, the three men had first discussed working together as far back as 1967, when Bogert and Appice still constituted the rhythm section of New York psych-rockers Vanilla Fudge, and Beck was assembling his first solo group following an angry departure from the Yardbirds.
But on that occasion, Beck wound up choosing to build his Jeff Beck Group with fellow Brits instead, recruiting Ronnie Wood on bass, Nicky Hopkins on piano, Micky Waller on drums and some bloke named Rod Stewart on vocals, while Bogert and Appice carried on a while longer with the Fudge.
It would take two years before the three musicians' planets aligned themselves once again, and by all accounts, the superstar trio was primed and ready for action in the fall of '69 – until Beck suffered a serious car accident that laid him out for the better part of a year.
Rather than sit around twiddling their thumbs, Bogert and Appice once again sought to find creative satisfaction elsewhere, forming Cactus with singer Rusty Day and guitarist Jim McCarty (formerly of Mitch Ryder's Detroit Wheels), and quickly churning out four studio albums within the next two years.
At last, once Cactus was laid to rest in late 1972, Bogert and Appice finally joined a now fully recovered Beck on the road in order to hone their musical chemistry, before heading into the studio to record what would become the brand new supergroup's eponymous LP, that December.
But while it was received by great fan anticipation and major press coverage a few months later, the LP ultimately climbed no higher than no. 28 in the U.K. charts and no. 12 in the U.S., where BBA scored only a modest hit single via a cover of Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition.'
Perhaps the slight disconnect resulted from the broad range of musical styles covered by the LP (everything from heavy blues, to funk, to vintage rock and borderline MOR moments), or the trio's reliance on externally-penned material, or even the simple fact that mainstream awareness of their names was no longer what it had been when the first flirted with collaborating, nearly six years prior.
Whatever the reasons, Jeff, Tim and Carmine still delivered more than enough instrumental virtuosity and sheer star power for musos and other serious devotees, who flocked to their concerts throughout 1973, and, what's more, generally testified to the incremental power they displayed on stage versus on record.
Alas, after touring extensively across the U.K., Europe, America and the Far East (where recordings were captured for the 'Live (In Japan)' LP – rush-released that October), BBA disintegrated abruptly in January of 1974, having barely begun working on sessions for its proposed sophomore album, and that was the end of that supergroup.
As briefly (especially considering the lengthy lead-up and numerous false-starts) and inconsistently as they shined, however, Beck, Bogert & Appice's limited output clearly left an indelible mark on rock history, or else we wouldn't still be celebrating the anniversary of the group's sole release, 40 years later.

Robert Bloomer Captain
United States Marine Corps, Reserve
Smith MBA
Unlike most of his classmates, when he graduated from the University of Maryland in May of 2005, Rob Bloomer knew exactly what he wanted to do next — join the Marine Corps. By December, he was commissioned second lieutenant, USMC and was shipped out to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, San Diego, Calif., where he supervised satellite, radio network and multiplex communications for the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. A native of Rockville, Md., Bloomer, 28, was then deployed in Bahrain and Afghanistan during his five-year tour of active duty. He's currently in the Marine Corps Reserve, stationed at the Air and Naval Gunfire Liaison Company (ANGLICO) in Palm Beach, Fla.
Bloomer saw the Smith MBA as the logical next step in transitioning to a civilian career. "Military men and women are ideal MBA candidates," Bloomer says. In choosing a school, Bloomer says he had two criteria: "Is it in the D.C. area and is it top ranked?" Located about eight miles from the White House in College Park, Md., the Smith School's MBA program is ranked No. 28 in the U.S. by the Financial Times.
Bloomer liked the Smith MBA for another reason. "About 80 percent of Smith MBA projects are team oriented," he says, "and teamwork is drilled into us as Marines." A Maryland native, Bloomer's tuition and fees are completely covered by the Post 911 GI Bill. He also receives a livings expenses stipend from the GI Bill.
Paul Rodriguez
Lieutenant Commander
United States Coast Guard
Smith MBA
One of the defining moments of Paul Rodriguez's career did not come while he was diving under 12-foot-thick polar ice caps in Antarctica. Rather, the Coast Guard lieutenant commander was seated at a conference table. "It was during a negotiation with a team of shipyard executives," he recalled, "I suddenly realized my abilities and my interests met in the world of finance. I was looking for that intersection for a long time. It led me to think about what I'd like to do, and what I'm good at. I decided to get my MBA at that conference table."
With finance and management as his coordinates, Rodriguez set a course that brought him to the full-time Smith MBA program. He says he chose the Smith School because of its strong regional reputation and top rankings. Just as important was the Smith School's close proximity to Washington, D.C. "If I was going to be a financial manager, I needed to go where financial decisions were being made, and that is D.C.," he says. "What led me to Smith was the regional reputation it had, as well as going to the campus and working with the staff. It's a great place to be and a great place to be from. The experience you will have there and the networks you will establish are simply the best." The Smith School also turned out to be the place where he met a certain MBA classmate, Shawn Rantas, his future wife.
Kristi Zobel
Staff Sergeant
United States Army Reserve
Smith MBA
Say you're scheduled to graduate with an MBA degree in June and start your new job at Booz Allen Hamilton. Suddenly duty calls. You're being deployed to Afghanistan in March — in the middle of your final semester. The timing couldn't be worse.
"If that happens to you," says Staff Sergeant Kristi Zobel, "you want to be in a military-friendly school." Fortunately for Zobel, she was. "The Smith MBA program staff went above and beyond the call," she said. "I was immediately put on an improvised fast track to graduation," she says. To complete the required number of courses for graduation, Smith MBA program staff provided her with the flexibility to take more classes in several locations. "Smith helped me graduate early, which meant that Booz Allen could sign me and I'd have a job to come back to." She's currently an associate in the Army Decision Analytics Decision Department at Booz Allen.
"As a military person, I knew Smith was a top-ranked program, but I found out the people there will bend over backward to make it work for current military people. It's an excellent program with a huge network."
"If you want to go to school in the D.C. area," she explains, "the University of Maryland's Smith School has by far the best value. It's a top-ranked, high-quality institution with a huge selection of courses and an outstanding faculty."
Bart Ludlow
United States Marine Corps (Ret.)
Smith Executive MBA
After he made the big decision to retire after 20 years as a Marine Corps aviator, choosing the Smith Executive MBA program was easy for Bart Ludlow. "I started looking for a graduate business program that could provide an accelerated transition to a civilian career" he says. He considered other schools in the area but the Smith Executive MBA (EMBA) turned out to be the perfect fit.
Learning intensely from a small group of seasoned professionals, weekend classes of the Smith EMBA, and the business school's College Park location were the key motivators for him. "I was able to commute to D.C. from Southern Maryland for class, work full-time and still be home for my family," Ludlow said.
Currently a program manager at Avian Engineering in Lexington, Md., the Minnesota native explained that military members are uniquely qualified for business management, but making the right career and education decisions after military service is different for every person. "My main purpose of going to business school was to understand how business works, to understand what it takes to succeed in business."
Ludlow plans to remain in the air defense industry after MBA graduation and make the D.C. region his home, along with his wife and three young children. It's a region ripe with opportunity and one he's looked down on from the sky—as a former pilot of the world's most famous helicopter, Marine One.

The 2012 2-A softball season is rapidly drawing to a close as the teams wrap up region play and prepare for the upcoming state tournament. With the tournament starting next week in St. George, Emery lost a game with San Juan at home that gave the Broncos the outright region title for this season. With the 8-3 loss, Emery finishes region play at 6-2 versus 8-0 for San Juan, the defending 2-A state champs.
Last week, Emery also hosted Desert Hills in a non-region game and the Spartans escaped with a 9-8 victory over the Thunder. This week, Emery will play two non-region games as they prepare for tournament action. Emery hosts Gunnison on Tuesday afternoon and then on Thursday, the Spartans will travel to Uintah to close out the season schedule.
San Juan opened the game Thursday by scoring three runs in the first inning. After the first two Bronco batters flew out, the first to right field and the second to left, Emery had an opportunity to get out the inning unscathed. The third Bronco batter popped up to short right field but the Emery second baseman could not keep the ball in her glove and the batter got on base. The next two Bronco batters hit home runs and so instead of being out of the inning with no runs, San Juan led 3-0.
Emery responded in the bottom of the inning with two of their own runs. JoLynn Jennings singled to left side of the infield to start things off for Emery. After the next two batters got out, Whitney Roper lined a single to centerfield to score the first Emery run. Roper then scored as Jaiden Huntington doubled. Emery trailed 3-2 after the first inning.
After both teams went scoreless in the second inning, San Juan scored a single run in the third inning. San Juan led 4-2. Both teams then went scoreless in the fourth inning.
In the fifth inning, San Juan sent nine batters to the plate and six of then got on base with four of them scoring. A home run, a single, two walks and a pair of errors helped the Broncos pad their lead to 8-2.
In the bottom of the seventh inning, Jennings walked to lead off the inning, Bryton Hess also walked and then Huntington got her second RBI of the game as she singled to left field to score Jennings. Hess had the only other base hits for Emery, a double in the third inning and a single in the fifth inning.
Against Desert Hills, Emery scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to sneak away with a non-league victory. In a seesaw game, Emery led 1-0 after the first inning only to see Desert Hill tie the score at 1-1 in the second inning. The Thunder took the lead in the third inning by scoring another run to lead 2-1.
In the fifth inning, Desert Hills padded their lead by scoring three additional runs to lead 5-1. Emery scored a run in the bottom of the fifth inning to trim their deficit to three runs and then the Spartans reclaimed the lead in the bottom of the sixth inning by scoring four runs.
In the top of the seventh inning, Desert Hills tied the score with a single run sending the game into extra innings. The Thunder then scored two runs in the top of the extra inning to put pressure on the Spartans but they responded with the winning runs to take the game.
Emery had 17 base hits in the game, 13 singles and four doubles. Desert Hills had 10 base hits. Emery committed four errors while Desert Hills committed three.
Jo Jennings led Emery with three singles and Jennings also scored two runs. Whitney Roper also had three singles in the game. Hailey Cloward and Kaitlyn Thomson each had a pair of singles. Jeridi Price hit two doubles with Auminee Bennett and Bryton Hess also having a double in the game. Both Bennett and Hess each had a single also. Huntington also hit a single in the game.
After the two games this week, Emery will participate in the state tournament the following Thursday- -Saturday in St. George.

Everyday Boots
"Nice looking, extremely comfortable. A little bit on the rough side but could be worn with skirt or jeans.No problem with fit at all."
By: wumimi

December 20, 2012
not great for shorties and large foot size ppl
"I'm 5'3" and have quite meaty feet, so for boots I usually have to get size 9 or 9.5.I ordered a 9.5 and it's far away from the picture on the website, from the website the boots looks like it hits low~mid calf, but at 9.5 the shaft is pretty long that it hits above my mid calf. The sock is soooo thick that whether bend it or let it run will both make my legs look fatty.Altho the boots itself is very comfortable, it doesn't fit the style for short ppl that have big feet, I'm guessing to wear a 9.5, you either need to be 5'7" or taller, or have really long n skinny legs."

LOVE these boots!!! They will fit a wide calf :)
"I absolutely love these boots, the have definitely made the top spot in my boot collection as the favorite pair. I ordered a 6.5 and they were good as long as I did not wear a heavy sock. So if you are between sizes like me (6.5-7) I would recommend going with the larger size if you want to put heavy things in them. As for me, I wear them with tights and sweater dresses and they work out great. :)These boots will definitely fit a larger calf due to the sweater top design. The sweater part is very thick and durable and conforms to the size of your calf.I got lots of compliments and questions about these boots the first day that I wore them, and spent the whole day walking back and forth on a recently waxed floor and had no issues with slipping and the boots were comfortable all day.If you add one new pair this year, make it these!!! :)"
