By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – Dak Prescott could play the role of Chris Relf in Saturday's Egg Bowl.
Prescott, No. 25 Mississippi State's backup quarterback, has similar size (6-foot-2, 230 pounds) and is just as much a threat with his legs as Relf was when he was leading the offense.
In the last three Egg Bowls – all MSU wins – Relf totaled 246 rushing yards as Ole Miss struggled to defend the option game.
Could we see Prescott, a redshirt freshman, used in a similar fashion in Oxford on Saturday?
"There may be a little bit here and there, but like you said, Relf did a good job in the past of running the ball on them," Prescott said. "We expect to have some plays in the running game, but we're going to have to be balanced and just perform what we can do."
The Bulldogs aren't giving much away about their game plan, but given their past success with the quarterback run game versus Ole Miss, there would seem to be an opportunity for Prescott.
That's especially likely given his increased role over the last few weeks.
The Haughton, La., native has rushed for 104 yards and four touchdowns this season. He's also flashed his arm, completing 15 of 22 passes for 159 yards and three scores.
Prescott has accounted for four TDs in SEC play, including all three passing scores. He usually makes an appearance in short-yardage and red zone situations.
In last week's 45-14 win over Arkansas, Prescott entered and, on a fourth-and-1, bulled over a safety en route to a 4-yard touchdown run. That gave State a 24-14 lead in the third quarter.
"Dak's the money man," said tight end Marcus Green, who's caught two of Prescott's TD passes. "He makes plays. Not only to me, he gets in there himself. You can't stop him."
Tailback LaDarius Perkins compared Prescott to former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, whom MSU coach Dan Mullen tutored as the offensive coordinator in Gainesville.
"He has a lot of heart, he shows great passion on the field also. We're always going to have plays for Dak," Perkins said.
One hit away
As the only backup QB on scholarship, Prescott is one hard hit away from stepping in for starter Tyler Russell.
That's why coaches made a point of getting Prescott involved early and often this season, and a high level of trust has developed between him and the rest of the team.
For example, in the second quarter against Texas A&M – with MSU trailing 21-0 – Prescott entered on a third-and-5 from the Aggies' 33-yard line and ran for 15 yards.
"We know when he's on the field, a play is going to be made," Perkins said. "Either it's running or passing. He can get the job done, and all of us have confidence in him."

Overview of PocketStatics
PocketStatics is a structural analysis program for the PocketPC (Windows Mobile) and Microsoft Windows (Desktop, Laptop or Tablet PC) Operating Systems.
PocketStatics is very interactive and simulates to a great degree working with an engineering pad and a pencil. Toolbars are very intuitive. The structure to be analyzed can be sketched on the screen simply using the stylus (or a mouse). The program automatically computes and displays results in real-time whenever any changes are made to the structure. This real-time update feature sets PocketStatics apart from other typical structural analysis software.
Use PocketStatics can be used to solve most statics problems including:
- statically determinate or indeterminate and linearly elastic planar (2D) trusses and frames with any number of elements and degrees of freedom
- single or continuous beams, columns
- any 2D structure including building and bridge structures
PocketStatics comes in two editions: one for PocketPC PDA's and one for computers and laptops running Windows or TabletPC. This makes it extremely useful for:
- structural engineers and designers
- civil engineers
- mechanical designers
- field engineers
- construction engineers
- site inspectors
- students
- instructors and others
It is ideal for use in meetings, at construction sites, and if your phone is PocketPC enabled, you can use it wherever you can take your phone. As it is available on the NEES hub, you can use it wherever you have access to the Internet.
Analysis Capabilities
PocketStatics provides analysis features that allow efficient analysis of almost any planar frame or truss.
Whether you need to analyze a single beam or column, multiple-span beams, or a complex frame or truss, PocketStatics provides the capability to perform that analysis.
The user interface is very easy to use and very interactive which makes PocketStatics a very intuitive and powerful software to analyze structures.
Analysis Capabilities
- Analysis of 2D frames and trusses
- Node loads (forces and moments)
- Element distributed loads (uniformly distributed or linearly-varying)
- Element end moment releases
- Define element properties (modulus of elasticity, area, moment of inertia)
- Compute node deformations, reactions
- Compute moments, shears, axial forces along element
- Display displaced shape, support reactions, internal forces and moments in real-time
- Translational and rotational degrees of freedom can be fixed for each node separately

Georgi YAKULOV
Georgy Bogdanovich Yakulov (b Tiflis (now Tbilisi), Russia, 2 January 1882 – d Erevan, Russia, 28 December 1928) studied painting for two years at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. During his military service, spent partly in northeast China, he developed an appreciation of Eastern light effects and decoration.
In 1907 he began exhibiting with the Moscow Association of Artists, the Union of Russian Artists and Mir Iskusstva, and in Paris and Berlin. He travelled to Italy (1910) and to Paris (1912–13), where he met Sonia and Robert Delaunay, discovering that his artistic ideas of light corresponded with their theory of Simultanism.
Yakulov became a member of the Leftist Federation of Painters, organised the decorative, yet abstract interior design of the Café Pittoresque in Moscow, and participated in decorative preparations for various private balls, spectacles and amateur theatrical events in 1910 and 1911. His career in the theatre began officially in 1918, when he designed the sets for Aleksandr Tairov's Obmen (The exchange) at the Kamerny Theatre. Yakulov's subsequent designs for Tairov, Princess Brambilla (1920) and Giroflé-Girofla (1922), combined traditional theatrical techniques with modernist abstraction.
In 1925 Yakulov returned to Paris to exhibit in the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs, and was commissioned by Diaghilev to design for the Ballets Russes production of Le Pas d'acier, eventually performed in 1927 at the Théâtre Sarah Bernhardt. He died a year later in Russia, leaving behind unrealised designs for Vsevolod Meyerhold's play Misteriya-Buff.

I keep hearing Britney Spears' new single "3" on the radio here (Hot 100.5) and I love it – absolutely love it – even though it's sooooo incredibly dirty! I mean, it's a song about a threesome … but it's such a catchy song and I love how Britney sounds in it! I just realized that the official Britney site has the video up for '3' now also!
Here it is:
I think she looks AMAZING in the video! Brit really goes back to her roots and showcases her awesome dancing (and of course throws in one of her famous 'quirky' faces that she always seems to throw in!). The video (while obviously 'older' in theme) is reminiscent of her older videos like "Boys" or "I'm A Slave for You" because it's one big dance number.
Love the song more than the video though because I love when Britney tells a story in her video. But – this song was more of a fun song – so I can forgive her this time! What do you think of the song and video?

Savane - Cookbook: recipe #122, Coding Style
recipe #122: Coding Style
To keep something easily readable and consistent, coders have to follow the same coding style.
Currently we only have a few rules, inspired by GNU Coding Standards.
Please respect them.
User Input Sanitization
Read recipe #259 (very important).
Keeping the brackets on a same column
Use # as comment character, to have something uniform with all scripts, shell
Perl and PHP.
Use easily 'grepable' tags in the comments like DEPRECATED: or FIXME:
PHP/HTML Mixture
Do not mix different languages. It means that <?php ?> can occur only
one time in a file. If you need to print some HTML, use print();
HTML Layout
Look at others pages, try to mimic them. Usually, important headers should come with a <h3>, paragraph should be into <p>.
It is important to note that "paragraphs" means text that will be in align justify mode. Most texts should be in paragraph, but not short strings (lists etc).
If you are not sure, send a mail to savane-dev.
PHP Requires
Use only double-quotes for require statements
It is important to provide feedback anytime user perform an action. It should be done using fb() (alias: utils_feedback())
For error messages should, the second argument of this function must be set to 1, something like:
Providing help about specific words could be something nice to. It can be done using help() (alias: utils_help()).
Gettext Support
Savane being internationalized, do not insert strings without call to the gettext _() function. And do not insert html tags inside (use printf/sprintf if you need to put variables inside the gettext function). If you want to print numbers, please use ngettext() function instead of thee simple _() function.
If you need to make the meaning of a string clear, so that translators know how to translate that word/sentence, you are encouraged to use the special comment tag "I18N". Any comment marked this way will be included in the savane.pot file for easy lookup.
Please see also the README in the po/ directory for some important considerations.
Please, always use format_date() to print dates. If you need them to be very short use format_date("minimal), if you want to put them in big tables, use format_date("short"), otherwise keep the first argument of format_date() unset.

It was chic to be a bag lady last Thursday night at the Center for Women's popular It's In the Bag purse auction. Hobos, baguettes, clutches, and more—practically every style of arm candy was up for grabs at this ninth annual extravaganza, where bidders battled over one-of-a-kind designs and designer handbags.
More than 65 local artists and personalities contributed a creation to the auction, and the dazzling collection adorned the walls of the City Waterfront Gallery. Bags ran the gamut. Photographer Leigh Webber's sleek black leather clutch emblazoned with great photo depicting a tuk tuk (taken during her extensive travels) was my personal favorite. In fact, it was interesting to note parallels between the artists' personalities and their bags. Kaminer Haislip's copper creation (with doves in flight stamped out of the fold-over) was another standout, as was Nandini McCauley's brown satin and skin clutch dotted with flowers wrought from pink wire. The styles were so diverse and engaging, there really was something to suit every taste. Some were beautiful, some were functional, and some made a statement (Karen Siegel's Tea Bag springs to mind). The table of confections cleared quickly (who can resist a two-bite red velvet cupcake?), and the auction wound down by sunset.

Surprise your family with this wild duck cooked all day with orange, apple and onion – a delightful meal!
The addition of the fresh oranges, apple and onion enhances the natural flavor of wild duck. However, these ingredients do pick up the wild flavor from the cooking juices of the duck. Most people find they don't care for the flavor of the fruit and onion after it is cooked, so we suggest discarding them.

The only place I have heard confirmed of getting the Snake Men in decent numbers was Aldi's. I'm glad I bailed on the series when I did. Though I've been keeping my peepers on things. Too many He-Man's, Too many Skeletors, a lack of supporting characters. Mattel vowing that they wouldn't make King Randor, Queen Marlena, even shockingly Sorceress, unless it was as an exclusive. And the commits that they wouldn't make things like Palace Guards, etc. It just doomed the line from the beginning. Mattel needs to learn how to run a successful toy line.

Chief, Immigrant Health and Cancer Disparities Service
About Me
Dr. Francesca Gany is the Chief of the Immigrant Health and Cancer Disparities Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the Director of the Center for Immigrant Health and Cancer Disparities, and a Director of the community based participatory South Asian Health Initiative. She works to bridge immigrants, minority community members, and the medically underserved with the healthcare system, and to eliminate health disparities. Her groundbreaking work has led to an improvement in health outcomes and to the development of long-term clinical, health policy, and programmatic changes.
Prior to joining Memorial Sloan Kettering, Dr. Gany was the founder and Director of the Center for Immigrant Health at the New York University School of Medicine; of the NYU Cancer Institute CORE Center (Cancer Outreach, Outcomes and Research for Equity); and of the Health Promotion, Disease Prevention, and Human Migration concentration in the NYU Global Masters of Public Health program. She has served as the Principal Investigator on a number of pioneering immigrant health studies in the areas of cancer, language access and cultural competence, technology and immigrant health, healthcare access, and cardiovascular disease.
Dr.Gany worked with the community to develop the NCI/NIH-funded Cancer Awareness Network for Immigrant and Minority Populations (CANIMP). CANIMP responds to the disparities in utilization of and participation of immigrants in cancer prevention, detection, and treatment services, and research. Currently in its 11th year, CANIMP works with the Latino, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Haitian, Chinese, Korean, and English-speaking Caribbean immigrant communities. CANIMP research includes both qualitative and quantitative methodology to enable the formation of a rich body of evidence to inform policy and practice. CANIMP has spawned several critical initiatives, including the Chinese American cancer survivorship research program, the Consulate Studies Program, the Latino Faith-Based Project, and the Cancer Portal Project and Immigrant Cancer Care Access Network(ICCAN). These programs address socioeconomic barriers to cancer treatment completion to help more than 800 at-risk individuals in 11 cancer programs to complete cancer treatment. The Center learned that over half of Portal patients are hungry while they are undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiation treatment. In response, they have started the FOOD (Food to Overcome Outcomes Disparities) Project, which studies the impact of medically tailored food pantries and food vouchers on cancer treatment outcomes.
Under CANIMP Dr. Gany also started the community health research program, which builds capacity in community based organizations to develop and implement community-based participatory research programs. Dr. Gany also developed the Junior Minority Research Program, a mentored research experience for junior investigators.
Dr. Gany has a strong interest in linguistic and cultural responsiveness in medicine, and has led various projects to enhance the provision of linguistic and culturally competent services. She was part of the team that developed the groundbreaking Remote Simultaneous Medical Interpreting System. and has also established a medical interpreting research laboratory to build the knowledge base on linguistically competent research and care. She is conducting research into current and best practices on culturally competent healthcare delivery and helped to develop a comprehensive cultural and linguistic responsiveness curriculum and trainings.
Dr. Gany has also taken the lead in implementing community-based approaches to enrolling immigrants in insurance, and in using technology to increase access to health care.
In recognition of her work, Dr. Gany has been awarded the Merit Award for Community Service from the Public Health Association of New York City, the Service Award of New York Perinatal Association, the Award for Outstanding Services to Refugees and Displaced Persons from the African Serv. Committee, the Alumni Award from the NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, the Stewart Satter Family Prize for Social Entrepreneurship from New York University Stern School of Business, and the Community Health Research Leadership Award from the National Cancer Institute.

SeaWorld Orlando is one of the eight world class theme parks in Central Florida. Of all the parks, this is one of my favorites for a fun relaxing day in a beautifully landscaped area with all sorts of neat sea animal exhibits and shows. It also features a couple adrenaline rides like the coaster Kraken and the Journey to Atlantis water ride. The free beer samples at the Annhauser-Busch Hospitality House doesn't hurt either.
This shot is of the "Pacific Point Preserve" area at SeaWorld where guests can view and feed the seals and sea lions. I porbably should have waited until later in the day to take this as the sea lions were pretty active, while later in the day they lounge on the rocks a lot which would have captured more of them.

Donald L. 'Don' Musil
Donald L. 'Don' Musil passed away on Tuesday, June 25, 2013 at the Columbus Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in Columbus at the age of 80 years, 5 months and 13 days.
He was born to Jerry and Marie (Svoboda) Musil on January 12, 1933 in Oak Park, IL. He attended Spaulding School for Crippled Children in Chicago until he was 17 years old.
Don was a strong advocate for people with disabilities and attended many meetings for their cause.
Despite his own disabilities, Don did not let them control his life. His years were filled with interests and hobbies. Some of these included current affairs, music, travel and collections. He loved music, especially Polkas. He rarely missed a concert, play, or Polka Fest. A life-long hobby of his was recording old-time radio programs on cassette tapes.
Don was such an avid collector of various objects that we often said, if there were more than one of anything, he started a collection of it. Amongst his many collections were post cards, which filled stacks of scrapbooks.
Above all, Don was best known for his artwork. His artistic ability was evident at a young age and continued into his 60's. One of Don's pastel winter scenes was selected for the Communications Building at the University of Wisconsin. Other award winning pictures can be seen in buildings throughout Wisconsin. We have only hit the tip of the iceberg regarding his numerous interests.
He was a very special brother to his surviving twin sisters, Delphine (Harold) Schaefer and Darlene (John) Gaska both of Columbus.
Visitation for friends will be from 10:00 A.M. until 11:00 A.M. on Monday, July 1, 2013 at the CROSS OF CHRIST EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH at the corner of Hamilton and E. Slifer Streets in Portage. A private family service will follow. Inurnment will be in the Bohemian National Cemetery in Chicago, IL. If you wish, memorial gifts may be made to Cross of Christ Lutheran Church.

Raw deal: Group advocates freedom to eat what you want without government interference
With a groundswell of enthusiasm behind them, members of the group called Local Food Freedom-Nevada County (LFF-NC) has amped up its efforts to reach out to the community and shed a light on threats to small farms and the age-old tradition of food sharing.
Last summer, a group of locals from diverse political and social backgrounds organized in response to government SWAT-team style raids and crackdowns occurring at small farms all across the U.S.
A core group of about 12 with a food commonality —from tea party activists to progressive liberals —meet regularly to discuss ways to protect farmers in Nevada County from heavy-handed regulation while preserving
consumers' access to healthy, locally grown food.
"It's our Nevada County heritage to have a bunch of small farms …Really this is about taking back Nevada County and allowing us to do what we have done for a 100 years,"said Gregg Lien, a lawyer and member of LFF- NC.
Preserving the county's farming culture boosts the local economy, the health of the local population and maintains aesthetically pleasing working landscapes, group members say.
Members of Local Food Freedom attended the recent sustainable farm conference where they set up an information table and gathered signatures of support. Already, 400 people have signed up for the LFF-NC e-mail list and in recent weeks, the groups website has seen an increase in traffic, with responses coming from as far away as India.
"This issue is really broad,"said member Tom Van Wagner whose son and daughter are both active in the local food scene. The group has drawn up a resolution, is debating an ordinance to bring to local city and county governments and is considering a ballot initiative.
In the month ahead, the group will hold private screenings of the film "Farmageddon"and gatherings with community opinion leaders, teachers and business professionals.
In March, members hope to organize an educational outreach meeting for the public. "A lot of this grass roots stuff is snapping. We are coming together to take charge of our community. It's exciting,"said Lien.
Nationwide, both rural and urban communities are spearheading similar fights to keep small agrarian lifestyles alive in the face of large and powerful government-backed corporate agriculture.
"It's not just us. There's little brushfires igniting all over the country,"said Van Wagner.
Black market
Meanwhile, a food black market is flourishing in Nevada County, as consumers fed up with supermarkets that no longer meet their needs, go underground in search of direct relationships with local farmers who can provide
food like grandma ate.
"A lot of people are seeking local food. I think it's a lot bigger than people realize,"Van Wagner said. Coming under fire in recent years is the growing herd share movement, a system where consumers partner with
small dairy producers who own one or two cows or maybe a half dozen goats in exchange for raw milk products.
According to state law, it is illegal to give away milk from an unlicensed dairy. Even one cow is considered a dairy if milk leaves the premises.
Raw milk is legal in California if the dairy producer meets standards and regulations set by the state. But meeting those standards is an expense most small farmers can't afford.
"It's a big Ag model for a small community and they don't apply to each other. It's scale inappropriate,"Van Wagner said.
Meat production in the county is also onerous for the small producer, with the nearest USDA approved processing plants as far away as Nevada and Dixon.
As popularity for raw, unprocessed food straight from the source grows, so, too, does government attempts to squelch what they consider illegal and dangerous activities.
YouTube videos showing officers armed with guns during a raid of Rawesome, a raw food club in Venice last summer and similar footage from the film, Farmageddon has unnerved many local foodies.
"Now it seemingly is more criminal for someone to grow healthy food than marijuana,"Lien said. One local farmer was "freaked out"after receiving a call from a USDA official who knew a lot of personal information about he and his family, said Lien.
Armed raids that occur on farms without notice or due process are disturbing from a legal perspective, said Lien. "They come in as judge, jury and prosecution …It seems the Constitution has gone out the window,"Lien said.
Last week, raw milk made headlines when 38 cases of campylobacter in four states were linked to a raw milk dairy in Pennsylvania. Unpasteurized raw milk can contain a host of serious pathogens such as salmonella, listeria and E. coli that can be fatal, warns the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Yet raw milk loyalists contend cows that get plenty of fresh air, sunshine and feed on green pasture produce healthy, nutrient dense milk. Danger arises when sick cows living in large, crowded unsanitary farms produce milk that is then co-mingled, they say.
"There's a whole body of factual evidence that's being ignored,"said Lien citing raw milk's benefits such as a cure for childhood asthma. Several local physicians recommend raw milk products to patients unable to digest pasteurized milk.
Unshaken by the recent campylobacter "outbreak,"one local producer who asked not to be identified says he will continue to drink raw milk from his cow just as he has for a decade. He claims he and his family are free of sickness and disease and has never heard of anyone locally becoming ill from drinking raw milk.
In an effort to put a halt to underground herd sharing, the California Department of Food and Agriculture has issued a number of Cease and Desist orders on unlicensed farms throughout the state including nearby El Dorado County.
So far, farmers have not received such orders in Nevada County.
"I watched "Farmaggedon."There's nothing like that here,"said county Agricultural Commissioner Jeff Pylman. Nevertheless, several local producers have stopped supplying milk for fear of being shut down in SWAT-team
"There is a silencing. It is insidious,"said one local producer. "The precedent has been clearly set. This is about a message folks: 'We can come after you.' It's legal but it's also intimidation. Intimidation —it's a wonderful regulator,"he said.
Tastes better
Though not a member of Local Food Freedom, farmer Chris Bierwagen, owner of Donner Trail Fruit in Chicago Park agrees communities need to take charge of their food source.
He believes safeguards need to be in place to ensure public safety but would like to see oversight come from ethical farmers and locally-based governing agencies rather than mandates from Sacramento or Washington.
"The further away it gets from home the more costly and burdensome it is,"he said. In order to sell his product at a new farm stand located on Highway 174 adjacent to his family's café, Happy Apple Kitchen, he was required to make thousands of dollars in upgrades to his unpasteurized apple cider business to meet a USDA quality assurance program.
Changes included bigger and bolder warning labels on the juice his family has been selling for 30 years. Bierwagen would like to see changes to regulations that better support direct sales between farmer and consumer.
"It gets back to going out to the farm, getting to know the farmer and having a relationship,"Bierwagen said.
Local Food Freedom members worry about the future of community food sharing. They wonder what will become of the traditional bake sale fundraisers for schools, community potluck dinners, the child's lemonade stand on the corner and potentially the neighborhood backyard garden.
Raised on foods like raw milk and butter made from it, Bierwagen wants to see pasteurization rules for raw milk removed and for government agencies to back off from enforcing strict rules for home-style cooking and processed foods of all kinds. To him, unpasteurized food simply tastes better. "A lot of it to me is getting back to good tasting food," he said.

When reading Russ Worthingon's blog, "A Find-A-Grave Experience" today, it brought to mind that I'd never checked Find-A-Grave for any records of my late husband's burial. He passed on the 22nd of June 2008 and according to his wishes his remains were cremated and taken to his hometown of Ottawa, Illinois, for burial in the Ottawa Avenue Cemetery where many of his family and ancestors had been interred.
I knew where Charlie was buried (I was there) and I have photographs of his marker, so it really never occurred to me to look for him in Find-A-Grave. Today I did! I searched for him using the filters of his surname, "Illinois" and died "2008." Happy day, he was there, but not in total. Someone, with a username I cannot identify, had posted his obituary. There is not an image of his grave marker. It is apparent that the obituary was provided by the funeral home in Georgia that took care of the basic arrangements.
Apparently posting of obits is a common practice on Find-a-Grave.
Posted below is an image of the grave maker taken about 8 months after it was placed. I was dismayed to find that although the family has perpetual care, the lower left part of the stone had been over-run with grass.
Since Charlie and I had lived in Georgia for nearly 25 years when he died, I had a memorial plaque posted on a wall at the Big Canoe Chapel Cemetery.

Tried out same bird for yesterday and walking up the dirt road he starts gobbling at 5:20. Set up on his side of the road 100 yards out and shooting good for 30yds plus. A gagle of crows sets in and starts all kind of ruckus at his gobbling, first time I witnessed that and it went on for 15 min. After they leave I hit him with some soft clucks and he answers every time. I wait till I think he's on the ground and hammer him with 3 different box calls this time and he's all hot again. This continues till 7am and now he's quiet. I give a cluck and he answers once. I figure he's moving off a bit and decide to move to the road and slide by him quietly to get in front of him. Busted again. He was still in the tree with a buddy at 7:15. They were roosted 50yds off the road and saw me sneeking along. game over. He needs a break and so do I. Striper fishing tomorrow on the Hudson river. This is sure one dead forum. Is it that bad in Pa?

A Look at the Eclectic LEGEND: Invasion Fight Card
- Published in Kickboxing
- Written by Dave Walsh
- 0
The mixture of Kickboxing and MMA has been around for a while now, with promoters trying to get a "best of both worlds" feel going, but I'm not sure that it has ever made much sense or been a great idea. With that being said, LEGEND Fight Show will be promoting their second event on November 8th and will feature both MMA and Kickboxing. It's obvious that they plan to spend some serious money on this event, as the main event of Alexander Emelianenko vs. Cro Cop must cost a lot and Badr Hari doesn't come cheap, either. The Light Heavyweight Kickboxing tournament is actually pretty awesome as well.
This is definitely something to keep your eye on.
UPDATE: Replaced Aleks Emelianenko.

FERC modifies its enforcement guidelines.
Michel Marcoux is a partner in Bruder, Gentile & Marcoux LLP, a law firm in Washington, D.C.
FERC modifies its enforcement guidelines.
In 2005, the U.S. Congress increased Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) penalty authority over the country's natural gas pipeline and electric utility industries. Five years later, FERC implemented September 2010 modified policy guidelines (guidelines) to assess civil penalties under that authority, once it has determined that a violation has occurred and a penalty is warranted. These civil penalty guidelines follow on the heels of proposed such guidelines issued in March 2010 that were the subject of an earlier article (See " Penalty Predictability ," Fortnightly, July 2010.) The final guidelines, summarized here, merit industry scrutiny.
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) gave FERC greater civil and criminal penalty authority. For example, gas and electric industry violators face these maximum civil monetary penalties: Under the Natural Gas Act (NGA)—$1 million per day per violation for as long as the violation continues; under the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA)—$1 million for any one violation; and under the Federal Power Act (FPA)—$1 million for each day that such violation continues. 1 FERC's Sept. 17, 2010, revised policy statement and attached penalty guidelines 2 modify previously proposed guidelines in important ways.
Guidelines From 10,000 Feet
FERC's civil penalty authority under the NGA, NGPA, and FPA should be exercised with care, based on experience, to provide fairly for just punishment and deterrence. The guidelines repeatedly make plain that FERC's analysis is influenced in part by an ongoing public dialog with affected industries. 3 FERC promotes increased consistency, transparency, and fairness in its monetary and non-monetary penalty assessments when organizations violate the statutes, orders, rules, regulations, and approved tariffs or statements of operating conditions that FERC oversees. The guidelines, modified from proposals made available for public comment in early 2010, 4 add consistency to the penalty assessment process because penalties are to be based on more objective, specified factors, which are assigned transparent values and are uniformly weighted for similar violations and similar violators.
Effective Sept. 17, 2010, the guidelines attached to FERC's revised policy statement enhance penalty predictability for gas and electric industry organizations; however, FERC's discretion to make individual penalty assessments based on a given case's facts also remains unrestricted. If multiple acts of misrepresentations, or of fraud, anti-competitive conduct, and other rule, tariff, or order violations occur, FERC on a case-by-case basis can use the guidelines to treat each act as a separate violation, but will take the cumulative harm of the multiple violations into account to determine a penalty. If multiple acts of electricity reliability violations occur related to the same conduct or event, FERC on a case-by-case basis can use the guidelines based on the conduct as a whole. FERC sees the civil penalty guidelines as motivating organizations to devote significant efforts to develop and maintain sufficient compliance measures. FERC repeatedly declares compliance, not penalty assessment, to be its central enforcement goal. 5

By Errol Castens/NEMS Daily Journal
This spring's weather has affected farmers in unusual ways. Daily Journal reporter Errol Castens visited recently with Dr. Brian Williams, an agricultural economist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, about the weather's impacts.
Q: What have been the general effects on crops and farm animals from our wet, cool spring?
A: The biggest impact has been a delay in planting, with some crops, particularly soybeans, still not completely in the ground. With cotton, planting delays have caused some producers to switch to soybeans. It has also slowed wheat harvest across the state.
Livestock, hay and pasture are in relatively good condition. Planting delays have caused high corn prices, driving up feed costs for feedlots, which partially offset the higher costs with lower prices for feeder cattle coming out of Mississippi. Higher corn and soybean prices have increased feed costs for Mississippi's poultry producers.
Q: What commodities are the most negatively impacted, and can they catch up over the summer?
A: When crops are planted too late into the spring yields are often reduced, but that is not always the case. Corn typically does best when nighttime temperatures get down into the 60s during key development stages. If the weather is indeed hot and dry during these critical development stages, yields could take a hard hit this year, but if the summer is mild we can still see great yields. Much of the same is true for other Mississippi crops.
Q: What are likely economic impacts of the unusual season?
A: Given what we know right now, it looks like corn yields will be lower than normal both in Mississippi and nationally, supporting corn prices into fall. Higher corn prices are good news for producers, but they also mean higher food prices at the grocery store. Soybean prices typically move with corn prices, but any land that farmers could not get planted to corn will likely be switched to soybeans, which could keep soybean prices down.
Although we did see record high beef prices during the week preceding Memorial Day, I believe if we had a more normal year those prices would have been even higher. Memorial Day is often said to be the official beginning of the summer grilling season, but the weather this spring, both here in Mississippi and nationally, has kept many consumers indoors. That has significantly reduced beef consumption and has in turn limited the upside of beef and cattle prices.

I have one last final today in History. The Animal Science final didn't go so well, and the Art Appreciation final didn't go as well as I had hoped (though still not horribly bad). This History final, though, is a toughie... I had 80 pages to study, and had the other finals to study for too. We'll see how I do, but I'll probably end up taking this again another semester.
Lord of the Rings
Rachael and I are most likely going to see Return of the King tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to it, partially because she and I haven't had much time together outside of school for awhile, and partially because it's Lord of the Rings.
I'm tempted to go on about how great she is right here, but I have to head to school and if I did that, I'd miss the bus :)
Galago - Top Secret Technology (TM)
Okay, well not top secret, but I have an idea for a nice little system to better integrate things in the GNOME desktop, and any others that wanted to participate. I need to speak with Nat Friedman about it, but it should be rather cool. More on this after we talk and I have some drafts of what it'll do up.
The API rewrite is going very nicely. Still doesn't do much, but the framework is nearly complete, and I'll soon be able to do the archive modules, and the local file system implementation. I'm giving it another month or two, since I don't know my upcoming schedule just yet.

By Riley Manning/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Kate Harvey is a first-year kindergarten teacher at Carver Elementary School. One look into her classroom is clue enough to the portion of her day occupied by teaching literacy.
The rug on the floor contains the letters of the alphabet, columns of vocabulary words fill the board, and boxes of reading activity books lie in wait on her desk.
"At the beginning of the year, my class was very unbalanced when it came to their ability to read. I could tell the ones that attended pre-K from the ones who didn't, who didn't know the letters or couldn't write their name," she said.
What's a teacher to do?
Harvey said she started from square one. During the fall semester, students learned the names of the letters in the alphabet one at a time, then learned the sounds corresponding to those letters. This semester, they are taking those sounds and stringing them together to make words.
"The hardest part has been meeting each different learner. Fifteen students means 15 different sets of needs," she said. "The difficulty jumps so much from kindergarten to first grade that they need to know how to read by the time they leave kindergarten, and need to be able to read words like 'describe.'"
Though she utilizes techniques learned while at Mississippi State University, Harvey structures her lessons on a day-to-day basis according to a program called Reading Street, which continues through sixth grade and is used in all K-6 Tupelo schools. Though Harvey spent her senior year of undergraduate work student teaching, and her junior year observing, she said the point-by-point guidelines laid out by Reading Street have helped her more than anything.
"I don't know what I would do without it," she said. "It puts everyone through sixth grade on the same page, the same track. There is no doubt about what goals need to be met and when."
Angela Rutherford, director of the University of Mississippi's Center for Excellence in Literacy Instruction, said Harvey's experience points to a number of flaws in the state's educational structure.
In Mississippi, each district is left to address literacy as it sees fit, whether through programs like Reading Street, literacy coaches, inclusion teachers or remedial summer reading camps. The lack of a common timeline with common checkpoints creates schisms between school districts and even among schools in the same district.
"We do not have that continuity and consistency in our state," Rutherford said. "We are so tied to local control to the detriment of our children, in my opinion."
Rutherford pointed across the border in Alabama, to the Alabama Reading Initiative, a statewide program that provides every K-3 school with a literacy coach highly trained by the state Department of Education. Furthermore, every teacher in the school goes through a standard training in a week-long summer academy, so everyone is focused on the same goals and how to get there.
Rutherford said such a unified initiative is crucial in professional development in teachers after they have entered the field.
"We can only do so much in two years," Rutherford said. "Even when teachers come out of teacher preparation programs, their professional learning doesn't stop and it is up to good administrators to make sure they continue to support that," she said.
Shannon Middle School principal Keith Steele, agreed that teachers must be life-long learners, constantly rethinking their techniques and strategies by collaborating with other teachers.
"Universities are doing a noticeably better job at preparing their teachers in literacy. The new teachers we've had come in have improved their competency level quite a bit in comparison to previous years," he said.
"Once they are here, they go to every professional development possible, whether it be a conference or a webinar. It's crucial to hear how different people are doing it."
Shannon Middle School's own literacy teacher, Jo Ann Duke, said the shift in thinking about literacy has extended beyond merely decoding words.
"Everything requires communication, and that's what true literacy is, the ability to absorb information and use it for other things," she said. "It's a problem when a student can find the right answer in the text but can't give it to you in their own words."
The catch with comprehension, Duke said, was that some students are natural comprehenders, a talent that has nothing to do with IQ. Students in her sixth- and eighth-grade literacy classes keep running journals where they reflect or summarize the material they encounter in class. In a unit on the Middle Ages, students chose their own topics and researched them, from castle architecture to Queen Elizabeth's political motives.
"Annotating their research helps, and in projects like this they use discretion about what information is important and how it contributes to the subject they are writing about," she said.
Especially with the onset of the Common Core standards that Mississippi and 45 other states have adopted, comprehension is just as essential to literacy as reading. Even in Harvey's kindergarten class, students are sharpening their comprehension skills right alongside their decoding abilities.
"I use anything I can to get them talking and communicating, because that's what Common Core is all about," she said. "We have an exercise called 'think-pair-share,' where they think about the word I give them, explain it to a partner, then share it with the class. At home, I want their parents to ask them questions. What was the setting? The characters? What happened at the beginning, middle and end of the story?"

With humanitarian crises increasing in number and intensity, OCHA built on the experience of responding to the Haiti earthquake and Pakistan floods in 2010 to get its basic coordination functions right. Lines of accountability between field operations and headquarters were streamlined and strengthened, and rapid response capacity was enhanced and deployed. Reducing the field vacancy rate was prioritized, and all field operations focused on delivering high-quality results in OCHA's three core areas: operational coordination, information management and humanitarian financing.
Pursuing a flexible, responsive and accountable approach to field operations
At the beginning of 2011, OCHA was present in 47 countries, including 22 country offices, five regional offices, three sub-regional offices, three liaison units and 14 humanitarian support units. Throughout the year, OCHA adjusted its presence in response to the evolving global humanitarian situation. It re-opened an office in Côte d'Ivoire; opened a new office in Libya; created sub-offices in areas most affected by crises, including the Horn of Africa, Myanmar and the Philippines; and established small presences in countries with increasing humanitarian challenges, such as Nigeria and Syria.
At the same time, OCHA gradually downsized its operations in countries where the humanitarian situation was improving, including Haiti, Iraq and Uganda. OCHA's teams in Nairobi, servicing Kenya and the region, were merged and co-located with IRIN, sharing administrative services.
At the end of 2011, OCHA's largest humanitarian operations continued to be in countries with long-standing and highly complex humanitarian crises, including Afghanistan, DRC, Pakistan, oPt, Somalia, South Sudan and Sudan. OCHA also maintained offices in countries with "forgotten" humanitarian crises, such as the Central African Republic (CAR), Colombia, Myanmar and the Philippines, where serious humanitarian challenges are compounded by poor funding.
Throughout the year, OCHA carried out 264 surge deployments to support an increase in humanitarian operations in 37 countries experiencing new or escalating emergencies (see deployment graphics to the right). During the corporate emergency in the Horn of Africa, OCHA implemented a sustained and phased surge plan, deploying experienced and knowledgeable staff from its Regional Office for Southern Africa, the OCHA Eastern Africa Office and from headquarters. Other surge recipients included emergency operations in Libya, Côte d'Ivoire, Sudan and South Sudan.
OCHA also enhanced the accountability of its field operations by creating a direct reporting line between all OCHA heads of country offices and regional offices and the Coordination and Response Division at headquarters. This increased coherence across OCHA's field operations and facilitated the sharing of best practices.
Leading the response and investing in field staff
One lesson that emerged from the Haiti response was the need for more effective leadership of major emergency situations. The Humanitarian Coordinator (HC) Pool, managed by OCHA on behalf of the IASC, has been expanded to include 39 members from 14 UN agencies and NGOs. In addition, IASC Principals have established a roster of senior personnel who can be deployed on short notice to manage the overall response in a major emergency. To better support the work in the field, a new mentoring programme has been designed to provide tailored assistance to incoming HCs.
OCHA recognizes that recruiting and retaining the right highly qualified and capable staff are crucial to its success. Therefore, in 2011 it prioritized stabilizing its field staffing, particularly in non-family duty stations. By the end of the year, OCHA had reduced its field vacancy rate (which had reached highs of more than 30 per cent in 2009) to an average of 15 per cent. Ten per cent of this vacancy rate was generated by posts established to respond to new or escalating emergencies. OCHA's workforce has grown by 40 per cent over the past five years, creating a larger and more mobile staffing base for its operations. New strategies have been developed to encourage and manage internal mobility, particularly for staff serving in non-family and hardship duty stations.
Diversifying partnerships to strengthen operational response
In 2011, OCHA strengthened its strategic engagement and operational coordination with national authorities, regional organizations and local NGOs. This enabled more effective humanitarian action with a broad support base. For example, in Japan, a joint OCHA/UN Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) team was deployed to support the Government's response to the earthquake and tsunami. In Indonesia, OCHA supported national authorities to incorporate international best practice on coordinated assessments into their domestic law. In Sudan, OCHA worked with the League of Arab States and the AU on negotiations for access to South Kordofan and Blue Nile. During the drought and famine in the Horn of Africa, OCHA facilitated coordination among actors across the humanitarian spectrum, including the OIC and the multitude of Islamic NGOs operating under its umbrella.
Enhancing impact and efficiency through operational coordination
Throughout the year, the importance of OCHA's core work in operational coordination remained clear. Following South Sudan's independence, the cluster approach was implemented in all 10 states, with support from OCHA. Through the clusters, humanitarian partners—including 21 UN agencies, more than 150 INGOs and many local NGOs—responded efficiently to the immense humanitarian challenges facing the world's newest country.
OCHA focused on enhancing inter-cluster and cross-border coordination in 2011. During Haiti's cholera epidemic, OCHA gathered all relevant actors, including the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and Health clusters and national authorities, to respond rapidly and comprehensively. In the aftermath of the crisis in Côte d'Ivoire, OCHA convened joint meetings of the Liberia and Côte d'Ivoire HCTs to support information flow and operational coordination, particularly regarding returns. OCHA also supported a regional response to the two-year cholera epidemic in West and Central Africa, bringing together humanitarian partners and national authorities from Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria.
Building resilience and enhancing preparedness
Based on lessons learned during the Horn of Africa crisis in 2011, OCHA and partners moved from the traditional progression of assistance, in which humanitarian response, early recovery and development are seen as distinct phases. With the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and other development partners, OCHA started to promote a more comprehensive approach, in which long-term development and the underlying causes of a crisis are tackled alongside immediate life-saving needs. In 2012, OCHA field offices will ensure that building the resilience of people and communities is at the forefront of humanitarian response.
OCHA field offices made significant progress in planning and preparing for crises. At the country level, OCHA worked with HCTs and governments to bolster contingency planning and early warning systems. In southern Africa, OCHA facilitated planning consultations between Southern Africa Development Community disaster managers and their international cooperating partners in preparing for the flood-and-cyclone season. These investments have already shown significant dividends. In Mozambique and Madagascar, early action resulted in less damage following heavy storms and floods in early 2012. In Indonesia, the Government now recognizes disaster management as one of 11 national priority areas. It has improved legal and institutional structures to give local authorities greater roles and responsibilities in preparing for and responding to disasters.
Mapping and communicating the humanitarian response
OCHA's operational and resource partners rely on the organization's information products for practical and consolidated information on humanitarian crises. Throughout 2011, OCHA improved the scope and quality of its products, enabling people and partners worldwide to receive comprehensive and up-to-date information. At the height of the Libyan crisis, OCHA produced daily updates that were widely read. In the Horn of Africa, OCHA's situation reports and humanitarian snapshots provided an authoritative source of information and analysis.
OCHA also streamlined the way it collects and collates information. In Afghanistan, an HCT Information Cell was established, and the humanitarian community's online web platform (afg.humanitarianresponse.info) provides comprehensive information on the humanitarian response. OCHA also supported clusters to collect data on key indicators at national and district levels, enabling humanitarian actors to better target their activities. In 2012, similar inter-agency humanitarian response websites will be set up for the largest humanitarian emergencies to help HCTs better manage complex cluster information.
Increasing transparency and efficiency in field-level financing
Humanitarian financing mechanisms managed by OCHA in the field provide a key source of funding for partners. In 2011, 15 OCHA-managed ERFs disbursed $100 million to humanitarian partners. In countries such as DRC, Somalia and Sudan, CHFs enabled a flexible and timely response to sudden or emerging needs, while also providing a core funding source for activities identified in CAPs. Diversifying funding recipients to ensure that those on the frontline (primarily NGOs) receive sufficient resources was a top priority in 2011.
Throughout the year, OCHA increased the transparency and efficiency of the pooled funds managed by its offices. Country offices took immediate action, including increasing the number of site visits to cover 10 per cent of CHF-funded projects. Work also began on developing a Global Pooled Fund Monitoring and Evaluation Framework, which will provide guidance to OCHA offices on how to track and report on the use of pooled funds.
Paving the way for improved humanitarian action in 2012
In line with the IASC Transformative Agenda, OCHA's field operations in 2012 will focus on enhancing humanitarian leadership, coordination and accountability. OCHA offices will strengthen and streamline the cluster system, including through the first annual review of the activation and deactivation of clusters; redouble support to operational coordination, ensuring that it is inclusive and strategic; enhance information management and coordinated assessment efforts to develop common and agreed-upon reliable data; and make humanitarian financing more effective and accountable, including by supporting HCTs to develop CAPs that contain clear and achievable priorities.

This is a series i feel obligated to review (partly due to my mixed feelings about the second season) but also because it's rather unique choice of how to tackle things, but most of all is because the mixed feelings the whole internet spout of the show.

It's been a while since i wrote a review but i figured i would begin again here with this series.
So i will first start by saying i watched this in 2 days, i normally only watch maybe 2 episodes of a series a day but i caught up on this the day it finished airing (i thought it was 12-13 episodes, reached 10 to learn im done) so let me say i was impressed for it's works in keeping me hooked as i normally hate watching even my favourites so rapidly.I wont waste too much time here so right into it:

This review is for the OVA series seperatly, My series review is HERE Do note the OVA series is ongoing as the moment and this review was written as of episode 08 (technically 09 but anime planet hasn't inclused episode 00 so its 08 as of here). do be aware this OVA series is mega strong on ecchi and contains a lot more Erotic scenarios and situations in comparison to the series which are a lot more detailed and make this very erotic, the series comes to being borderline hentai in my opinion, but this is just a warning in advance). ...

Kiss x Sis (TV) Right then i will as always do my best to keep this as close to spoiler free as possible whilst offering as much helpful information as i can. So starting with the story/plot line: The simple version of this story is that Keita (our protagonist) is a Middle School student who is striving his best to achieve the needed grades to get into the high school of his choice, which is also the high school his twin sisters attend. Yes Keita has two sister who are twins, Ako and Riko, now before i say anything more i should make it aparant these aren't his real sisters (don't worry this isn't a... See full review
I normally start reviews with some general outline to the happenings of the anime with a slight insight to its good points and some of my favourite things, i won't be doing this for this review and for the next few throughout winter due to busy life. Anyway onto the Review.
***Applogies this review being simple plain text, i usually spice them up with images but i have had a lot happen in real life so sadly this one will have to deal with simple text, at some point i might return to edit it to make it look nice***

School Rumble Do note i intend to review School rumble 2, im still watching it but only have 3 episodes left and it is much better than season 1.Also i will be writing this review a little differant from normal but it should still be just as fun (i hope). Anyways lets get on with it ;) Highschool crushes can be endlessly enjoyable but quite the brute force of stress aswell and school rumble understands that. School rumble does a great job in excelling normal high school events and romance and taking it to new levels. Unlike most school life/life of life styled animes school rumble doesnt so much rely...

Asu No Yoichi First i just wish to excuse myself as its been a while sinse i wrote a review, and normally i write long detailed reviews where this might be a little shorter but i will keep it interesting and informative. So lets not stall round, and away we go: Story: In summary the story follows Yoichi who till now has lived his life in the mountains with his farther. His farther sends him to the city in training to gain not only more strengh but life experiance in real life amoungst people instead just the hillside animals. Off to a bad start yoichi is now living amoungst the Ikuraga sisters... See full review
Akane-Iro ni Somaru Saka
Due to the large amount of bad reviews i felt i should pitch the good review in here (because i found it enjoyable) and explain why people are giving it average at best (without spoilers)
Why the low score? (by others)
To explain why people moan about the anime, basically the anime is presented in a love triangle type anime, though it could question if it steps into the Harem grounds as other characters seem to show affection to the main character Junichii (do consider though its a love triangle if its only 2 main characters after 1, it needs 3 or more for a...

Green Green Thirteen: Erolutions This ova is actually really enjoyable in my personal opinion. The main downside is it feels like it is stepping onto a Hentai anime. Story: The story mainly focuses on Yuusuke and Futaba chan expressing there feelings for one another. But neither them can quite forget a mysterious girl in there memory, who was she again? I think the story here is good, both Yuusuke and Futaba remember Midori but with her dissapearance she made them forget her, now Midori is trying to help bring Futaba and Yuusuke together as she wants to see him happy and knows (with...

Green Green First i would just like to say dispite the constant negative reviews i didnt find the anime all to bad, there are many of both Pro's and Con's in this anime and i will try to comment on them as i can. The anime isnt bad though i would like to strech that before going on. Story: Right i wont deny the story is odd in how it works. The story line its self isnt to bad providing you narrow it to what the story is "supposed" to be about. The story is set to follow Midori and Yuusuke, Midori seems to be oddly in love with Yuusuke from first sight but he doesnt seem to know... See full review
Angel Beats Epilogue (the only spoilers in here are to them who havent finished the seris, i might touch on the ending of the origonal seris so please be aware)... i dont not give spoilers for the short episode here though for them who dont know, this is basically a alternate ending to how the show ends, the DVD version of the show ends with angel leaving the world after there friends have all departed onto there next life, the scene of the roof is followed by a small scene which shows a girl who represents angel and a guy to represent otanashi, otanashi was attracted by the song Kanade (angel) was...

Air summer specials are the ending OVA's in the seris provided in the dvd boxset and fortells the story the story of Kannabi no Mikoto and her friend Uraha and there guard Ryuya and there journey to help Kannabi meet her mother.

The story is well done, it sort of fills in the gaps which... See full review
Air Movie: This review is based upon viewing the movie AFTER the seris (as it should be seen) and so i recomend watching the show first Story: The story of the movie following the main Misuzu arc from the origonal anime varies around alot. Anyway, the movie is actually quite decent. Really i wont deny i enjoyed the anime's more but this was a retelling were it only had 90 odd mins to get through it instead 12 episodes + OVA's but i think it does a good job at retelling the story plot. As said it follows the main story of Misuzu and so we dont really see any real appearances from the... See full review
I will admit im a big fan of Key animes and Air is no exception to the rule, its truly a emotional piece of art and stands well leaving it in your head for years to come.Parts of this review will feel like more a small written preview, sorry about that its just how i compramise so i wont give a spoiler. Story: The anime is technially spilt into 4 differant arc's or 3 arcs and one story. Lady Kana (Kannabi no Mikoto) is more a retold story of the path but it is non the less given a good place in the story.Its hard to review the story without the arcs so i... See full review
To summerize my thoughts on the anime (i know im not alone after viewing other reviews else were) the anime is just terrible but if you enjoy knowing why read into the horrible work that made this anime Also note im note being one sided here, i tried being kind just i had probelms, honestly my scores felt generous. But its not really worth the 0.5 stars i am forced to rate it... Story: Blantly speaking the story was awful, wait what was the story meant to be about anyway? ok i figured enough to guess its supposed to be your basic "love story" type anime, but this wasnt any kinda love...

I was unsure what to expect from Black Rock Shooter as i havent been interested in 1x50mins animes as i fail to see how they can have anything much of a story. Now by no means i will say its the best or worst of anything. Considering the 50mins restriction the show was actually better than i expected but did suffer some minor problems. Story: The story line is a good one but can be very difficult to understand. The story follows Mato Kuroi as she is starting her new school year. She now is joining the life of a high school girl, though curious a girl she is she stuggles to hide her excitement for the... See full review
Life is never easy for a high school student and in Toradora this rule doesnt fail to stand true.
The story follows the two main characters Ryuuji And Aisaka who are two unique individuals. Working closely to the main two characters we have 3 others who also play major roles throughout most of the seris. Aisaka is the schools "Rebel" girl who most fear, she holds the nick name "Palmtop tiger" due to her small stature and her snappy and aggresive traits- the traits of a tiger.

Yodsanklai Fairtex vs. Artur Kyshenko, Chahid vs. Askerov, Ray Sefo Returns - November 26
- Written by Rian Scalia
Swedish promotion Rumble of the Kings has a huge card set for November 26 in Stockholm, Sweden. So far they've got three pretty big name match-ups set and they're all ones that everyone can look forward to.
First, in a huge fight, Artur Kyshenko takes on Yodsanklai Fairtex at 72.6kg. Kyshenko is one of the top kickboxers in the world at 70kg and he'd probably be around the top at the 72.5-73kg if he fought there more. Yodsanklai Fairtex or "Yod" for short, has reigned supreme over the area of 72.5kg for quite a long time. He's long been subjected to fantasy match-ups with the cream of the crop at 70kg and now one of them has finally come to fruition. Many people, including myself have thought for a while that Kyshenko would be much better off fighting higher than 70kg and he proved it by looking great in defeating Nieky Holzken in May. It's not clear what ruleset these two are fighting under as it's listed as "K-1/MT Rules 3x3" but I'd think that they would be K-1 rules.
In another great fight, Chahid Oulad el Hadj takes on Dzhabar Askerov. This fight is all but guaranteed to be a slugfest similar to the likes of Chahid vs. Mike Zambidis from last year. Both guys bring it every single time and love to slug it out in the middle of the ring. Expect fireworks.
Ray Sefo also makes his return..but not to kickboxing. Sefo will be taking on Jorgen Kruth in an MMA bout. It's somewhat of a strange match-up as both of them are kickboxers, both having fought numerous times in K-1. Kruth is 3-0 in MMA, having fought MMA twice on Rumble of the Kings cards. Sefo has a 2-1 record in MMA, where he last fought and lost to Valentjin Overeem in Strikeforce. [source]

Strengthening tie-ups with Chinese companies is another strategy that allows a foreign company to enter into China. Swedish company, NeuroVive decided to grant Sihuan Pharmaceutical an exclusive license to develop, market and sell CicloMulsion and NeuroSTAT in China, as well as the intellectual property rights and know how in connection with the products to pass clinical trials. Both CicloMulsion and NeuroSTAT are currently undergoing phase II and III clinical trials respectively.
The investments pouring in China are streamlined with the government's plan to boost the pharmaceutical industry of the country in its 12th Five Year Plan (2011-15), which was announced in 2011.
In 2011, China adopted a national goal of encouraging Chinese pharmaceutical market and sharpen the industrial advancement. The 12th Five Year Plan is focused on encouraging pharmaceutical companies to consolidate domestically and build its market share and technologies to strengthen the business. To achieve significant growth, China needs investments to possess cutting-edge technologies and skills to operate them. The plan is encouraging private capital investments into healthcare services and continuation of existing healthcare reforms.
KPMG states that medicine manufacturing in China will receive boost from the government in terms of funding support as well as policies, tax and R&D incentives. The national emphasis is on building China into a strong drug manufacturing country, capable of independent innovation, increased exports and a global pricing power.
Golden Meditech, a leading integrated healthcare enterprise in China, reported financial results that were in line with management expectations for the six months ending September 30, 2012. During the interim period, the group increased the total revenue by 6.4 percent to $28 million.
Similarly, China Cord Blood revealed its preliminary unaudited financial results for the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2013, ending September 30, 2012. The revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 increased by 30.5 percent to $20.4 million.

By Paul Jones/Special to the Journal
Jamoral Graham spent all of Monday night thinking about his college future, and even threw out a couple of hints on Twitter. On Tuesday morning the 2014 prospect ended the wait and became Mississippi State's second commitment for the class of 2014.
The 247Sports four-star prospect, who plays for Newton County, chose MSU over offers from Ole Miss and Southern Miss and also drew interest from Alabama and LSU.
The 5-foot-11, 190-pound Graham is rated as the state's third-best prospect for the class of 2014 via 247Composite.
Last year he played on both sides of the ball and could land on either side of the ball at MSU.
Offensively as a junior Graham rushed for 495 yards and six touchdowns, and he had 24 receptions for 464 yards and five more scores. He totaled 21 tackles, one interception and seven pass break-ups in the secondary.
"I feel comfortable on either side," said Graham. "It really doesn't matter to me. I do enjoy receiver more, and I love having the ball in my hands.
"You get the ball more on offense and don't touch it much on defense. But it doesn't really matter where I play at Mississippi State."
Now that Graham's junior year at Newton County is nearing an end, his focus turns to preparing for the 2013 campaign. He will do so without any recruiting worries.
"I am just working out this summer, and I am only going to Mississippi State's camp," said Graham. "I am shutting down my recruiting, and that feels good not to have any pressure going into my senior year."
MSU's first 2014 commitment was Memphis Westwood athlete Nikia Cathey. National signing day is Feb. 5.
