To the editor:
If you have been concerned about the tone of the current political atmosphere, you should be encouraged. Last Saturday the SW Florida Citizens Alliance sponsored a candidates' forum, inviting all the congressional candidates. The Cape Coral First Baptist Church generously provided their sleek, modern sanctuary to the audience of approximately 155.
Four candidates showed up for their "job interview:"
Paige Kreegel, M. D., Curt Clawson, Michael Dreikorn, Ph.D., and Ray Netherwood. The Democrat candidate, April Freeman and Lizbeth Benacquisto did not choose to attend.
The moderator, Jim Watkins posed tough, thoughtful and salient questions ranging from U.S. involvement in the Ukraine to the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Each candidate was given two minutes to respond to each question.
And the responses were measured, civil and thoughtful. There was no heckling from the audience. There was no disrespect on the stage. The audience respected the candidates and the candidates respected each other. (Big surprise, if you've watched TV, or opened your mail box!)
All four are extremely intelligent. They bring a lifetime of business and/or administrative experience. All four are imbued with traditional American values and common sense.
They all risk a lot to stand for office.
Naturally, some answers resonated with me more than others. I personally prefer the family man with the consistent conservative eight-year track record of representing SW. Florida. But, that aside, we left that forum feeling that if any of these gentlemen represented District 19, we would be well served.
There are more forums. Come out to meet your candidates. Make your own decision. Don't allow your vote to be purchased by expensive ad campaigns. I think you will make an educated choice, and you will feel better about politics in general.

Story highlights
- Police: Bombers shot guards, then blew themselves up
- The incident occurred in a predominantly Shiite neighborhood
- There was a string of attacks Monday as well
- Sunni-Shiite tensions have worsened lately
At least 31 people were killed and 57 others were wounded when two suicide bombers attacked a Shiite mosque in Baghdad on Tuesday, police said.
The incident took place during noon prayers in the Habib Ibn al-Mudhaher mosque in al-Qahira, a predominantly Shiite neighborhood in the northeastern section of the Iraqi capital. The bombers, clad in suicide vests, detonated the explosives inside the mosque.
Police said that the two bombers used pistols equipped with silencers to kill several guards before they entered the mosque and blew themselves up.
This follows a string of attacks across central Iraq on Monday that killed at least a dozen people and wounded more than 50 others. That violence came on a special voting day for security forces, police and others ahead of provincial elections.
Sunni-Shiite tensions and violence have risen for months in Iraq, which was wracked by sectarian fighting during the height of the Iraq war last decade.
Many Sunni Arabs, who dominated Iraq under longtime strongman Saddam Hussein, have felt marginalized under the Shiite-led government that took power after the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Hussein in 2003.
The United States has kept an extensive diplomatic presence in Iraq since the last American military units left in December 2011.

'Turning Your Land Into a Sponge' is focus of upcoming webinar
COLLEGE STATION – The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and Trinity Waters are continuing their land and management series with the webinar "Turning Your Land Into a Sponge."
The webinar is set from noon-1 p.m. Aug. 8. To view the webinar, go to the Forestry Webinars Portal at http://forestrywebinar.net/ and click on Turning Your Land Into a Sponge. Blake Alldredge, AgriLife Extension Trinity Waters associate, College Station, who coordinates the webinars, recommends that participants visit the website three days prior to the webinar to be sure they have the latest version of Java compatible with the webinar system.
"Dr. Larry Redmon, AgriLife Extension state forage specialist at College Station, will conduct this webinar," said Alldredge. "He will be discussing different techniques ranchers can employ to protect their pastures before, during and after drought to continue being sustainable, productive and profitable in their livestock operation.
"By implementing proper management practices, landowners will enhance not only their livestock operations but also the wildlife component and water resources in their area which will greatly benefit many Texans elsewhere."
Alldredge said the purpose of the webinar series is to enhance land stewardship and water conservation in rural and urban areas of the Trinity River basin which are critical for water availability in the future.
The first webinar on July 11, "Treasuring the Trinity: Challenges and Opportunities," can still be viewed at the Forestry Webinars Portal under the "Previous Webinars" tab.
The final webinar, "Meeting the Water Needs for Texans and Wildlife," will be conducted from noon-1 p.m. Sept. 12.

Actor Patrick Wilson is set to join the cast of "Ant-Man," the upcoming Marvel superhero film from fan-favorite director Edgar Wright.
It's unclear what role Wilson might take in the planned 2015 release, which will see Michael Douglas play the original Avengers member Hank Pym, a scientist who, in the comics, invents a shrinking serum that allows him to sneak around in miniature form and surprise foes.
The film also will star Paul Rudd as reformed thief Scott Lang, the second superhero to take the name Ant-Man, with Evangeline Lilly, most recently seen on screen as the warrior elf Tauriel in "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," widely tipped to sign on to the cast as well.
It's unclear whether either incarnation of the diminutive hero will appear in writer-director Joss Whedon's upcoming "Avengers" sequel, "Avengers: Age of Ultron," which also is set for release in 2015. In the comics, Pym is the creator of Ultron, an automaton that becomes a supervillain.
Wilson has a history in the genre, having famously played Nite Owl in Zack Snyder's 2009 adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' legendary graphic novel "Watchmen."
Wright embarks on "Ant-Man" after the success of last summer's "The World's End," his third film collaboration with actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. The trio's Cornetto Trilogy — "Shaun of the Dead," "Hot Fuzz" and "World's End" — established Wright as an especially beloved figure among the fan community, his films fusing humor and heart within genre trappings.
Wright's been attached to the project for some time — he debuted "Ant-Man" test footage that showcased the helmeted hero growing and shrinking in size at Comic-Con in 2012.
"Ant-Man" is set to open July 17,2015.

WASHINGTON — A $125 billion plan to rescue Spain's banks won't solve Europe's debt crisis or ease the pain of double-digit unemployment across the continent.
But it is likely to calm financial markets and buy time for European policymakers to work with other weak economies threatening the stability of the 17-nation eurozone.
Europe still has plenty of troubles to address in the three other countries that have already received financial help — Greece, Portugal and Ireland. In Greece, voters could elect a government next week that will refuse to live up to the terms of the country's $170 billion rescue package. Portugal is combating a toxic combination of high debts and 15 percent unemployment. Ireland is cleaning up a banking mess a lot like Spain's. Then there's Italy, the eurozone's third-the largest economy, where debts are piling up as the economy stagnates.
''We still have some pretty fundamental problems to solve,'' says Nicolas Veron, senior fellow at the Bruegel think tank in Brusssels. ''We need more radical solutions than this one.''
Germany, worried that it will get stuck with the bill for any ambitious schemes, has rejected several ideas for easing the crisis. It has been reluctant to ease the terms of previous bailouts to reduce the pain of austerity on Greece, Portugal and Ireland. And it has resisted calls for the creation of joint ''eurobonds'' that would raise money and spread responsibility for repayment across the eurozone.
Likewise, the European Central Bank has been reluctant to intervene to jolt the eurozone economy. Last week, it passed up an opportunity to reduce interest rates. And it has been reluctant to flood the economy with money to push down interest rates the way the U.S. Federal Reserve has.
But the plan to lend gobs of money to Spanish banks eases an immediate crisis in the euro's fourth-largest economy. The deterioration of Spain's banks and the pressing need for a rescue was threatening to bankrupt its government. That would likely cause far more pain for Europe than the financial messes in Greece, Portugal and Ireland.
Investors were already worried about what will happen when Greek voters go to the polls June 17.
If Greece reneges on the strict austerity measures that come with its rescue package, it could be forced to abandon the euro. Greece's departure from the Eurozone would likely cause financial chaos across Europe: Greek debts would go from being denominated in sturdy euros to being denominated in Greek drachmas of dubious value.
Worse, a Greek exit from the euro would raise fears that another European country such Portugal or Italy might be next.
''A significant part of this (bailout for Spanish banks) has to do with ring-fencing Greece,'' says Jacob Kirkegaard, a research fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. ''This is enough to prevent added market contagion.''
Spain on Saturday asked the 16 other countries that use the euro currency for money to rescue its banking system.
Spain has not yet said how much money it would seek. But the Eurozone finance ministers said in a statement Saturday that they were prepared to lend up to €100 billion.
''This move brings into sharp relief the enormous amount of money that will be needed to cordon off the rest of the euro zone periphery in the event of a Greek meltdown,'' says Eswar Prasad, professor of trade policy at Cornell University.
The rescue loans will be sent to the Spanish government's Fund for Orderly Bank Restructuring (FROB). The fund would then use the money to strengthen the Spanish banks' capital, their bulwark against loan losses.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said interest rates on the loans will be considerably lower than the rate near 7 percent that Spain has been forced to pay recently on the international debt markets, a level that forced the other countries to seek bailouts.
It is not yet clear whether the money will come from the eurozone's current €440 billion ($550 billion) rescue fund, the European Financial Stability Facility, or its new €500 billion ($625 billion) European Stability Mechanism.
Spain had been resisting pressure to seek outside help for its banks, which have been overwhelmed by bad real estate loans. But leaders became increasingly concerned that any fallout from Greece's upcoming elections would rock markets, further hurting Spain's financial sector. The exact amount Spain needs won't be clear until outside accountants complete an audit of its banks by June 21.
Unlike the three other European countries that have received financial help — Ireland, Portugal and Greece — Spain did not have to agree to deeper cuts in its government budget to secure the help.
Working in Spain's favor is the fact that its public debts aren't especially high. They amounted to less than 69 percent of its gross domestic product at the end of 2011, lower than powerhouse Germany's 82 percent.
Spain has already agreed to government belt-tightening. More austerity likely would have pushed Spain, already suffering from near-25 percent unemployment, deeper into recession.
''You don't want an economy of that magnitude going down the tubes,'' says Daniel Drezner, a professor of international politics at Tufts University in Medford, Mass. Spain has the world's 13th-biggest economy, more than four times the size of Greece's. It is the fourth-largest economy in the Eurozone.
In recent weeks, jittery investors had demanded higher interest rates on Spanish bonds. If Spain had tried to borrow money in the bond market to rescue its banks, investors would have balked at providing it.
The rising fears come at a time when nearly half the countries that use the euro are in recession. At 11 percent, unemployment in the euro zone is at the highest level since the single currency was introduced in 1999.
Europe's weakest countries aren't all alike.
Spain and Ireland, like the United States, were crushed by a collapse in the housing market, which left their banks with huge losses on housing loans. The Irish government was forced to slash government spending to pay for a bank rescue. The austerity has pinched the economy; Irish unemployment exceeds 14 percent.
Greece ran up vast budget deficits it couldn't sustain and smothered its economy in regulations designed to protect favored industries.
Italy and Portugal are desperately in need of economic growth that will provide the tax revenues they need to pay their bills.
The Italian government of Prime Minister Mario Monti is committed to raising taxes, cutting spending, fighting tax evasion and promoting competition in many professions, from cab drivers to pharmacists. But the budget cuts threaten to undermine Italy's economy, which is already in recession. Under the terms of its earlier bailout, Portugal is making deep spending cuts, which have made its recession deeper and more painful.
The troubles in Europe also are causing economic problems for the United States and developing countries such as China and Brazil, which rely on Europeans to buy their exports. So the plan unveiled Saturday eases pressure on the United States and the rest of the world economy as well.
European economic troubles pinch U.S. businesses. U.S. companies send 22 percent of the goods they export to Europe and have more than $2 trillion invested in factories, offices and businesses there.
A bigger fear is that Europe's financial troubles could cross the Atlantic. When banks lose confidence in each other, they refuse to lend each other money. Credit dries up, depriving economies of the fuel they need to grow. A financial crunch can wreck the economies on both sides of the ocean as it did in 2008.
''Anything that calms European markets is good for the United States,'' says Tufts' Drezner.
And anything good for the U.S. and world economies is good for President Barack Obama's re-election hopes.
''This move will come as a relief to the Obama administration as it suggests that European leaders are finally beginning to take significant actions to ease the intensifying pressure on the euro zone's peripheral economies'' such as Spain and Portugal, says Cornell's Prasad.
The Spanish deal also gives European policymakers more time to strengthen the euro 10 years after the single currency was introduced. They are already planning to create a ''banking union'' with a centralized regulator, a bailout fund and deposit insurance that covers savers across Europe.
Europe still needs to find a way to stimulate economic growth across the continent so that European countries can begin to grow their way out of their debt problems.
Despite the bank deal, Spain's grinding economic misery will get worse this year, Prime Minister said Sunday. ''This year is going to be a bad one,'' Rajoy said Sunday in his first public comments about the rescue.
The conservative prime minister added that the economy, stuck in its second recession in three years, will still shrink by 1.7 percent this year, even with the help. More Spaniards will lose their jobs, he said.
Analysts also say the eurozone countries must pull closer together politically and economically. They need to agree to more standardized policies limiting government debts and strengthening bank regulation.
Critics complain that the Spanish plan, like an Irish rescue before it, rescues banks but leaves taxpayers responsible for repaying the bailout loan.
Bruegel's Veron says bank owners and investors should absorb some of the losses when banks run into trouble. He wants to see Europe develop a more standardized way of dealing with shaky banks and closing them down when necessary.
Michael McGrath, a spokesman for the Irish opposition political party Fianna Fail, expressed dismay that Saturday's bank plan would leave Spain's government holding more debt and reinforce the idea ''that ordinary citizens have to carry bank losses.''

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos on Wednesday signed five rookie free agents, Head Coach Mike Shanahan announced. The Broncos signed former Auburn University guard Tim Duckworth, former University of Florida defensive tackle Steven Harris, former Hampton University wide receiver Marquay McDaniel, former University of Wisconsin safety Roderick Rogers and former University of Texas running back Selvin Young.
As per club policy, terms of the deals were not disclosed.

Duckworth, who appeared in 44 career games (22 starts) at Auburn, was a first-team All-SEC pick as a 12-game starter in 2006 and was a second-team all-conference choice as a 10-game starter in 2005. He competed as a defensive tackle during his freshman year at Auburn before becoming an offensive lineman. A PrepStar All-American as a two-way player at Taylorsville High School in Taylorsville , Miss., Duckworth was born on Sept. 14, 1982.
Harris (6-foot-5, 285 pounds) is a defensive tackle who played 13 games (5 starts) for Florida in 2006, helping the school capture the Southeastern Conference championship as well as the BCS national championship. He appeared in 47 career games (19 starts) for the Gators, totaling 64 tackles (38 solo), 14.5 tackles for losses, six sacks and four pass breakups. Harris started all 12 games at defensive end in 2005 and saw the second-most playing time (468 plays) among Florida defensive ends in 2004. A three-year letterman at Coral Gables High School in Coral Gables , Fla., Harris was born on Aug. 14, 1984.
McDaniel (5-foot-10, 205 pounds) is a wide receiver who totaled 4,109 all-purpose yards and tied the school record with 22 touchdown receptions in 46 career games (31 starts) at Hampton. A three-time All-Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference selection, McDaniel posted 151 career receptions for 2,026 yards (13.4 avg.) that marked the second-highest total in Hampton annals. He set school single-season records for receptions (59) and touchdown catches (14) as a second-team all-conference choice in 2006. The wide receiver also set a Hampton career record with 1,907 yards on 144 punt returns (13.2 avg.), including two that he returned for touchdowns. An all-state selection at Salem High School in Virginia Beach, Va., McDaniel was born on April 20, 1984.
Rogers (6-foot-2, 187 pounds) is a safety who received second-team All-Big Ten Conference accolades in each of his final two seasons at Wisconsin. He played 42 career games (26 starts) as a two-year starter for the Badgers, totaling 99 tackles (66 solo), five interceptions (138 yds.), 21 pass breakups and one fumble recovery. Rogers started all 13 games for Wisconsin as a senior in 2006 after tying for fourth on the team in tackles (56) and posting a career-high three interceptions in 2005. A Class 5A all-state selection (Atlanta Journal-Constitution) at Stephenson High School in Stone Mountain, Ga., Rogers was born on Sept. 7, 1984.
Young (5-foot-11, 207 pounds) played 49 career games (16 starts) at Texas and finished his career ranked 19th on the school's all-time rushing list with 1,713 yards on 365 carries (4.7 avg.) with 25 touchdowns. A member of Texas' 2005 team that captured the BCS national championship, Young recorded 3,060 all-purpose yards for his career and received honorable mention All-Big 12 Conference accolades in 2006. He became the first player in Longhorns history to return both a kickoff and a punt for a touchdown in the same game, accomplishing that feat against New Mexico State in 2003. A Class 5A all-state selection at Jersey Village High School in Jersey Village, Texas, Young was born on Oct. 1, 1983, in Houston.

The Kayano has long been a go-to shoe for overpronators seeking maximum support in a well-cushioned package. Now in its 19th iteration (2013 marks 20 years for the shoe), this update introduces a two layer midsole construction for a softer feel as well as seamless overlays for improved comfort. We are expecting a reduction in weight (10.9/8.9oz Men's/Women's) and the shoe is specified to have a 10mm heel-to-toe offset.
What to Watch For
- Two-Layer Midsole Construction: The addition of a softer, gender-specific Solyte material to the existing midsole results in an even plusher ride.
- Reduced Weight: By Asics' estimates, the Kayano drops about a half ounce on the Men's side (down to 10.9 oz) and almost an ounce on the Women's side (down to 8.9 oz).
- Mild to Wild Colors: You can make your next Kayano a "special K" with the blue colorway shown above or a similar Women's colorway, or "just OK" with a more traditional, muted color selection.
Launch Date
November 2012

GREENSBORO, NC – The York College women's lacrosse team continued their strong start to the 2012 season as they rolled past Greensboro College 17-5 in a non-conference contest on Sunday afternoon in Greensboro, NC.
The Spartans improve to 3-0 for the campaign while the Pride falls to 0-1.
The Spartans struck first just 1:44 into the game as sophomore Erica Mulford opened the scoring with her first goal of the day. The Pride tallied the next two goals of the game, scoring twice in a 23 seconds span as they took a short-lived lead over the Spartans.
Sophomore Melissa Ritchey evened the score just over a minute later as she scored off a pass from junior Kim Wayson. Ritchey's goal started a five-goal run for the Spartans as York took a 6-2 lead.
The Pride trimmed York's advantage to 6-4 on consecutive goals prior to the half. The Spartans halted the Greensboro run with a Wayson goal off a free position shot with 1:55 left before the break.
Wayson's goal started a ten-goal run as the Spartans turned a close game into a rout. York didn't allow another Greensboro goal until the 11:12 mark of the second half. York's Kim Nicolich closed out the scoring with a goal off an Allison Green assist with 5:25 remaining in the game.
Junior Leah Schultz powered the Spartan offense as she poured in four goals while she also had six ground balls. Wayson added three goals and two assists while Green and Mulford each added three goals.
Melissa Gallaher led the Pride with two goals and two assists in the loss.
Kelsey Evans started in goal for the Spartans and recorded five saves in 47:14 to earn the win. Ashley Smith played the final 12:46 and notched four saves while she allowed one goal.
Tierra Lyles played all 60 minutes for the Pride as she allowed all 17 Spartan goals while she made eight saves.
York outshot the Pride 31-18 in the game while the Spartans also had a 37-30 edge in ground balls. The Green and White won 13 of 23 draw controls while the Spartans converted 5-of-7 free position shots in the win.
The Spartans return to action on Thursday, March 1 when they host Alvernia in a non-conference contest. First draw is set for 4:00 pm in York.

Does anyone know where I could find a raccoon model? I want one that is more realistic than toony. Also a skunk and opossum?

i've been wanting realistic forest critters for years
not even going to bother looking at the CP ones, I've seen their "quality" beforePost edited by LycanthropeX on
thanks for steering me over to Content Paradise. The skunk is not too bad, as you say. In some ways I think it looks right but overall it looks good for a background critter. The two white stripes do not show well so it's hard to tell if they are there. But, I'll keep it in mind.
I looked over their forest critters and agree they are primitive but at least not toon. Some dim llight, fog, some squinting, strategic bushes---eh, I'll wait. My budget won't go for "in-case" stuff for now. I wonder why there are scores of dinosaurs of excruciating names and fangs but not of our living even neighborly animals.

thank you for pointing out that raccoon model. It looks pretty good just from that view, and so do the other morphs/mats. I don't have any Poser version , but I found Amazon has some early versions with legacy content. Content Paradise doesnt seem to offer them separately, at least as far as I could see, no Poser cat.

The latest robbery occurred just hours before the reward was announced yesterday.
A robber fled with an undisclosed amount of cash from the Illinois State University Credit Union in Normal.
Police also are investigating unsolved robberies at eight other banks and credit unions, including several that have been help up twice over the last 18 months.

The large sockeye salmon run brought scores of Alaskan residents to the beaches of Kenai in order to access the dipnet personal use fisheries. Most of those who made the trip came away with their allotment of fish. However, the increased traffic took a toll on the beaches.
With a large amount of people in a confined area, there is a risk of environmental and social issues, Kenai Parks and Recreation Director Bob Frates said.
However, Frates explained that impact was not as substantial as some might think.
"With the seasonal enforcement officers and their presence, a lot of the environmental impacts were minimal," Frates said.
The low impacts could be attributed to the efforts the city puts forth to make sure the beaches are clean during and after the season. While the fishery was open, Gabe Linegar was appalled by the amount of trash and half-used fish that lay on the beach from dipnetters not taking care of their mess, he said.
"It seems like they really just kind of forget what's important with our land and what they're doing out there, they don't clean up anything " Linegar said. "They leave their trash, they leave fish remains all over, it's real sad."
Frates said his crew worked on cleaning up the beach at night when the fishery was closed during the season. After the fishery was open for 24 hours, he said his crew was dispatched during the day also.
"We were doing what we had to do to keep on top of that," Frates said.
Linegar said he was very impressed with the city's clean up efforts, although he felt those efforts shouldn't rest solely on the city's shoulders.
"I know the city is doing the best they can," Linegar said. "Us as citizens and residents of Alaska need to start cleaning up after ourselves."
Linegar is a Kenai River guide and said some of his clients from out of state poke fun at their observations of the dipnet fishery.
Most of them, he said, are astounded they see people partying instead of using the resources in front of them.
"The fact that out of state people make fun of us because of the mess, it's not good," Linegar said. "It's supposed to be a subsistence deal and people kind of turn it into a big party instead of taking it as a resource, the fish."
Frates said he was able to use some extra resources to be able to provide help during the heavy season.
"Yeah, we had fish on the beach," he said. "We did more raking this year than any year before."
Now that the steady flow of traffic into Kenai is pretty much over, city manager Rick Koch said it's time to slow down and take a breath.
"This week we're not doing a whole lot of anything," Koch said. "You push to get through the thing and get done, we'll spend a few days cleaning up."
Frates' crew took part in an extensive two-day clean up with almost his entire staff with help from the Kenai Central High School Ski Team, among other volunteers.
"The beaches are pretty darn clean right now," he said Tuesday.

Norza is on it like white on rice and has already released new chart with it and Gundam Seed Remastered listed:
Yes, that's my real age
The chart included non-anime and reruns, which kind of cluttered up the actual count of new series.
A point of note: Kacho Shima Kosaku (課長島耕作) is the title of the 1st manga series, not the title of the anime series (島耕作のアジア立志伝). Probably the reason why there's a (?) besides the name since they don't have the correct romaji title.
EDIT: Countdown has changed the title with a note attributing to a mis-translation.

The same could be said of the Neregate charts I used in the past, which listed titles such as Train Hero (which as I understand is a Chinese series), Thomas the Tank Engine for a while one season (although I believe that was removed once it was clear it was a dub), and the remasters for Gundam Seed and Nadia.
Perhaps a separate section for reruns and series not of Japanese origin would be a good compromise?
The creator of the chart does have an account here on CR (under a different name), so I expect he will see your comments.

Train Heroes kinda falls in the grey area since it is a co-production between TV Tokyo and Carloon. I guess it'd have to depend on what aspect of the series the Japanese side is involved in. If it is just dubbing in Japanese, then it should not be considered as anime since the CG animations were done solely in China.
An article on Train Heroes just a few days ago, http://news.nicovideo.jp/watch/nw495377 , that may shed some light on the production aspect but it is in Japanese. Maybe someone can translate that.
Is there going to be a third season for hiiro no kakera i want to see that anime again or is there going to be squale of hiiro no kakera!!?
playing Ikémen Sengoku: Romances Across Time App
ANN confirms that Joujuu Senjin!! Mushibugyou is a Spring series, and animated by Seven Arcs(the studio behind Nanoha and Dog Days). I wouldn't be surprised if Viz wound up streaming it.
I just looked @ the chart again and pleased to see that Arvu is finally going to debut. Damn, about time, can't wait for it.

Atxpieces has released Version 1 of their Spring 2013 chart.
Always good to have a variety of charts.
Also forgot to add the post that includes staff listings for the Srping 2013 shows that have known staff so far
Ha. xD
You can tell I'm not an otaku when the only new anime from the Spring season that I will watch is Shingeki no Kyojin.~
Too much anime, too little time!
Danchi Tomoo premieres on April 6th at 9:30 am JST
Update to initial message (Monday, January 28, 2013 @ 3:36 AM CST):
Updated reduced size image of NihonOmaru chart by Norza and link to full size image to version 0.3c (dated January 25, 2013).
Reorganized series list to match chart (rebroadcast series moved to end).
Added premiere date and time for Danchi Tomoo.

I'm interested in checking out Space Battleship Yamato 2199, Shingeki no Kyojin, and Ginka Kikoutai.
But I know from experience that I am going to end up watching more anime than look interesting to me from the card, and am going to end up disappointed in at least one that sounds OK based on the card.
8 years as a premium member, but no more
It's probably really early to start making simulcast predictions but based off the current chart:
Attack on Titan- It's a Kodansha series and given how mainstream the title is it seems like a no-brainer
Date A Live
To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S
Jojuu Senjin Mushibugyo
Viz Media
Arata Kangatari- They already have the manga for it and it seems like their kind of fantasy series
Suisei no Gargantia- Basing this theory off of it being a Bandai Visual title and they have a fairly good relationship with them at the moment. Could go to Sentai, but they tend to stay away from larger shows right out of the gate. Plus since they didn't get anything for the winter season, I'd imagine Viz'll end up with more than just one show for the spring like last year.
Aniplex USA
Oreimo Season 2
Valverave the Liberator- I'm not too sure about this one. They'll probably get it since Aniplex is producing it in Japan but since it's also being done by Sunrise I don't know how much of a lock this one is for them. If they don't get it's a tossup between Funimation and Viz.
Sentai Filmworks
Aku no Hana
Devil Survivor 2- Just basing this off the fact that they picked up Persona 4's anime.
Hyakkan Ryouran: Samurai Bride
RDG: Red Data Girl
Photo Kano
Crunchyroll will definently get the new season of Hayate and whatever else airs on TV Tokyo. Not sure whether or not Yamato 2199 will get licensed since the rights for that franchise are a bit weird from what I've heard. If it does get simulcast it'll probably be Funimation though. GITS Arise is also a bit of a tossup(provided it actually airs in Spring and Manga Entertainment stays quiet).
All's the world has anger issues
Just to note, FansubDB has Gin no Saji(Silver Spoon) as a Summer 2013 series. Since it is already known to be a NoitaminA series, it will air on Fuji TV and FansubDB has it airing Thursdays(really Friday) at 24:45(12:45 a.m JST).

I love this old school look! I even had zebra in the interior of my VW at one point.. lol:Travis ToddSeptember 27, 2005 - Baton Rouge, CAPinstriping is considered a mode of expression that has fused civilizations and conveyed independence and creativity throughout time. ShowTruckScene.com's resident pinstriper, Travis Todd of Baton Rouge Louisiana, has been making quite a name for himself and his work at major shows throughout the South this season.For Travis, it all began when he saw "Time Bomb" in an issue of Sport Truck. This feature truck stuck with him, and inspired him to research, learn, and ultimately become captivated with this art form. His father gave him his first brush and paints for a birthday gift, so Travis picked up the brush and started practicing relentlessly.Travis' specialty is doing all of his work freehand. He does not use grids or chalk to pre-draw his basic designs. Lately, he has been targeting the show truck scene, but plans to start doing more hot rods and customs this winter. Tattoo designs are another area of pinstriping he has in the works.Striving to keep his work original and unique, Travis finds satisfaction when someone can see a piece he produced and know it is one of his creations without even seeing his name. He is definitely headed in the right direction, and has came a long way for someone relatively new to pinstriping. People are certainly noticing his hard work. For instance, an older gentleman approached Travis at a small, local hot rod show just to shake his hand, and express how proud he was that a young man such as Travis was keeping the art alive.The unique style of Travis Todd is also reflected in his 2002 Ford F150. The truck used to be a convoy vehicle for Entergy Electric, but was given new life when purchased a little over a year ago from an electric company auction. The F150 has under gone quite a makeover thanks to its new owner and the help of his good friends.Now a lot closer to the ground, the Ford's suspension is comprised of Slam RE-6 on DJM lower control arms, SMC 1/2 valves, and two Viair 480Cs running two hundred and fifty psi through 1" hydraulic hopping hose in the front. The truck is static dropped 14" in the rear and no shocks in front or rear to make the truck really move! The frame has been notched for tie rods, driveshaft, and rear end.Another distinctive feature to the F150 is the paint scheme: flat black painted hood, grille, and bumper, with red metal flake scallops down the sides pinstriped in silver. The owner designed pinstriping on the hood changes month to month. Full zebra fur interior completes the dash, roof, floor, doors. Travis also went with billet chopper mirrors on the truck.Travis would like to extend a thank you to his wife for being understanding of his hobbies, and also for welding his drag blocks. Additional thanks and appreciation go out to Kustomz Ink Klothing and SDR Performance, as well as his friends who have assisted along the way.Source: http://www.showtruckscene.com/features/travis/travis.php

I was very upset when I learned that my beloved 7.3L Powerstroke would be replaced by a new 6.0 L Powerstroke that, according to claims, was lighter and more powerful than the previous 7.3.
my father has a F-150 which never lets me drive it for the world

It has been a mixed season for Premier League clubs in the Champions League so far, and it could easily get worse with the draw for the knockout stages – GMF is here to explain why.
In the final round of group stage fixtures, holders Chelsea crashed out despite thrashing competition first-timers FC Nordsjaelland 6-1 by virtue of Juventus beating the already qualified Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine.
Manchester City were already confirmed to be out of the competition but a win at Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid defeating Ajax would have got Roberto Mancini's side a spot in the Europa League – they were beaten 1-0 in a tame display.
That left only Manchester United and Arsenal as the two representatives from England in the draw for the last 16, both of them already having qualified before the final round of group games.
What is not so encouraging is that both lost this week, but it was worse for Arsene Wenger's team as it meant they passed up the chance to win their group an avoid some of the bigger teams.
Manchester United had already won their group, so the final day of group games was of interest as to their possible opponents in the draw.
GMF have looked it over and assessed the which teams the Premier League club could meet and the relative pros and cons for each.
Manchester United
Possible opponents: Celtic, FC Porto, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk, Valencia.
Preferred opponent: Celtic
Fans of both teams may even feel they want this match up as it will have a bit of rivalry, but the reality is the Scottish champions are most probably the least feared of runners-up. The atmosphere of the games would be special, but Sir Alex Ferguson's side would be confident of progressing.
Feared opponent: Real Madrid
Jose Mourinho's side were deservedly beaten into second place by Borussia Dortmund, but they are still one of the big favourites to win the competition. An emotional return to Old Trafford for Cristiano Ronaldo would be a headline grabber, but Ferguson's side may find their recent shoddy defending exposed.
Possible opponents: Malaga CF, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, PSG.
Preferred opponents: Malaga CF
Arsenal aren't in any shape to be confident of beating anyone in the next round, but Malaga are probably the most inviting. Santo Cazorla would be facing his old side and would have something to prove.
Feared opponent: Barcelona
It was hardly going to be any other club, was it? Arsene Wenger's side are all over the place defensively and there's a genuine fear they could get embarrassed if they meet a Barcelona side containing Lionel Messi on fire. He's breaking records regularly and the Camp Nou club have made a record start to a La Liga season.
Which teams do you think they can/can't defeat in the last 16? Leave a comment below to let us know…

WASHINGTON -- The Interior Department is losing tens of millions of dollars in revenue annually because it leases public land for coal mining at rock-bottom prices, according to a report by the agency's inspector general
The report focuses on coal leases for federal and tribal lands sold by the Bureau of Land Management to mining companies. Most coal on public lands is in the Powder River Basin in Wyoming and Montana, a region that produces about 40% of the coal that the United States burns in its power plants.
"BLM has a responsibility to obtain a fair return for coal on public lands. We found weaknesses in the current sale process that could put the government at risk of not receiving the full value for the leases. For instance, we identified lost bonuses of $2 million from recent lease sales and $60 million in potentially undervalued lease modifications," the inspector general's report concluded.
The inspector general's investigation is the latest to raise questions about the BLM's leasing program, and the conclusions feed long-standing criticism by watchdogs, which say the BLM's industry-friendly practices in effect give federal subsidies to big corporations.
In June 2012, a report by a Boston-based think tank, the Institute for Energy Economic & Financial Analysis, estimated that leasing coal for prices below market value has cost taxpayers nearly $29 billion in revenue over the last 30 years.
The study found that since 1991, nearly all the lease sales had only one bidder, and that companies offered to buy the coal rights to public land at cut-rate prices.
That report and other independent inquiries have prompted a second Interior Department investigation into whether mining companies are short-changing the government by undervaluing coal extracted for export.
The Government Accountability Office, at the request of Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), is also looking into coal leasing, and the House will hold a hearing on the issue next week.
"Today's report highlights the issue of whether the BLM properly appraises the value of federal coal when it sells leases and the inspector general clearly thinks the agency came up short on this point," said Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. "Because these issues are so important to taxpayers and Western states, Congress ought to dust off the books and take another look to ensure taxpayers are collecting every dime they're owed."
The Interior Department said it had already begun to take some steps recommended in the report.
"The BLM is committed to ensuring that the American people receive a fair return for the development of coal resources on federal lands," said BLM spokeswoman Celia Boddington. "And the report highlights some of the same issues that the bureau has been working to address over the past year."
The inspector general's report pointed out that a key reason behind the low price of the lease sales is that the BLM does its own appraisal of the value of the coal, rather than have it done by the Interior Department's Office of Valuation Services. The valuation services office has the expertise to provide "independent real property valuation," the inspector general said, and the report recommended that from now on, the value of a lease sale be set by that office, not BLM.
The BLM declined to say definitively whether it would transfer the appraisal responsibility to the Office of Valuation Services. It has committed to implementing the inspector general's recommendations by the end of 2014 and convening a task force to look at the crucial issue of valuation.
[For the record, 8:01 p.m., June 12: A previous version of this post referred to the Government Accountability Office as the General Accounting Office.]

I was about to ask about Kimi He
thanks for the heads up!
btw, are there PV's for these songs?
I kind of want to see how ZAQ's vocalist looks like. I can't search them on the net, maybe they're a new band or something
or maybe I just don't use the search button correctly

Bootstrap methods for dependent simultaneous spike-trains
The use of bootstrap methods for hypothesis testing in the context of parallel spike trains is becoming popular because of their flexibility and the increase of computational power. In correlation analysis, for example, these methods are mostly used to assess the significance of associations among neurons and, therefore, resampling procedures are thought to destroy these associations. In this talk we will address the problem of resampling from data under a different type of null hypotheses. In particular, the problem of testing for a difference in the amount of correlation will be discussed. In this context, the distribution of the test statistics under the null hypothesis is imitated by means of bootstrap methods that preserve the existing dependence among the original spike trains. The procedures will be illustrated with real and simulated data.

In his first inaugural address on March 4, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt famously said: "So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself - nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."
Eighty years later to the day, Ben Emmerson, UN special rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism, in a report to the UN Human Rights Council, called on the United States to publish its findings on the CIA's Bush-era program of rendition and secret detention of terrorism suspects. Emmerson could well expand his demand to a far wider array of human rights violations that span far more that what the United States has done under the Bush and Obama administrations.
America's nameless, unreasoning, unjustified fear of terror has caused us to launch immoral wars, slaughter innocent civilians with bombs and drones, impose an undeclared military draft on the poor and people of color, violate civil liberties and human rights, demonize Muslims and Islam, divert precious resources from desperate human needs into weapons of mass destruction, delay for generations the prospects of peace, and, most recently, shamefully refuse to investigate and prosecute any of these crimes against humanity.
Emmerson expressed grave concern that while Obama's administration has rejected CIA practices conducted under his predecessor, there have been no prosecutions. "Despite this clear repudiation of the unlawful actions carried out by the Bush-era CIA, many of the facts remain classified, and no public official has so far been brought to justice in the United States," Emmerson said in a report to the UN Human Rights Council, which he will address on March 5. The war on terror led to "gross or systematic" violations involving secret prisons for Islamic militant suspects, clandestine transfers and torture, Emmerson said.
In response to Attorney General Eric Holder's position that the Department of Justice would not prosecute any official who acted in good faith and within the scope of legal guidance given by its Office of Legal Counsel on interrogation, Emmerson pointed out that using a "superior orders defense" and invoking secrecy on national security grounds was "perpetuating impunity for the public officials implicated in these crimes."
Emmerson said he believed that the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, chaired by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California), which has investigated the CIA's secret detention and interrogation practices, including waterboarding, has had unrestricted access to classified information. He urged the US government "to publish without delay, and to the fullest extent possible" the Senate report, except for any information strictly necessary to protect legitimate national security interests or the safety of people identified in it.
"There is now credible evidence to show that CIA black sites were located on the territory of Lithuania, Morocco, Poland, Romania and Thailand, and that the officials of at least 49 other states allowed their airspace or airports to be used for rendition flights," Emmerson said. He urged those five countries to conduct "effective independent judicial or quasi-judicial inquiries" into the allegations. Any public officials who may have authorized or helped in setting up such facilities should be held accountable, he added.
In January, Emmerson announced he would investigate the use of unmanned drones in counterterrorism operations, given the number of innocent civilians killed. Emmerson's nonbinding report has only moral authority, but it will add pressure on the Obama administration not to allow what he called a "blanket of official impunity" to descend.
Fear - that "nameless, unreasoning, unjustified fear" FDR spoke of (and which even he could not resist, as he would later send 120,000 innocent Japanese Americans into internment camps), fomented every day by politicians and warmongers - has blinded the American people to accept the new normal as all around us, cherished human rights are sacrificed on the altar of national security. Benjamin Franklin's dire warning cannot be repeated often enough. "Any Society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."

The Schedule
Friday, August 31, 2007 at 7:00 p.m.
UC Santa Barbara vs. Loyola Marymount
at UCSB's Harder Stadium (17,000)
Sunday, September 2, 2007 at 6:00 p.m.
UC Santa Barbara vs. No. 14 USC
at UCSB's Harder Stadium (17,000)
The Week Ahead
UC Santa Barbara will open the 2007 regular season at home on Friday, August 31 with a 7:00 p.m. match against Loyola Marymount. The Gauchos enter the season tied for 15th in the West Regional ranking by Soccer Buzz Magazine. The Lions, who went 11-3-6 in 2006, are ranked 14th. On Sunday, UCSB hosts USC, which enters the year ranked 25th in the NSCAA/adidas poll and 14th in the Soccer Buzz national poll. The Trojans went 11-5-5 in 2006.
The Gauchos Hit 25
The 2007 season will be the 25th intercollegiate campaign for the UC Santa Barbara women's soccer program. The Gauchos first laced up their shoes as an intercollegiate program in 1983. Prior to 1983, UCSB had been a club program.
On The Record
Friday will be UCSB's first match of the 2007 season so it goes without saying that the Gauchos enter the week with a 0-0 record. In 2006, the UCSB went 7-7-6 overall, but they did go 5-1-1 in Big West play, tying Long Beach State for the regular season league championship.
Tough Start To A Tough Schedule
UCSB will waste no time embarking on one of the most difficult schedules in school history. Loyola Marymount and USC each advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2006. In fact, the Gauchos will play seven contests against teams that went to the postseason in 2006, including five of their first six matches. In addition to the first two opponents, Santa Barbara will travel to UW-Milwaukee (Sept. 9) and Santa Clara (Oct. 17), while hosting Denver (Sept. 14), UNLV (Sept. 16) and Cal State Fullerton (Oct. 5). The Gauchos will play three other opponents (Wisconsin, Pepperdine and UC Riverside) that went to the NCAA Tournament as recently as 2005.
On The Stumpf
Paul Stumpf is in his ninth season as the head coach at UC Santa Barbara. He enters this week's action with a record of 81-59-17. His total of 81 wins ranks second on UCSB's all-time list. Last season, he guided the Gauchos to a 7-7-6 overall record, including a 5-1-1 record in the Big West, good enough to tie for the regular season championship. Stumpf has led the program to records of .500 or better in six of the last seven seasons, including four straight seasons of 10 or more victories, the first time the program accomplished that feat since 1988-91. In 1999, Stumpf's first season as the head coach at UCSB, he took a team that was selected to finish last in the conference, but instead posted an 8-9-1 overall record and a 5-4 mark in the Big West. Following the season, he was chosen as the Big West's Coach of the Year. He has, in fact, guided the Gauchos to a top-three league finish in six of the last seven seasons. Before arriving in Santa Barbara as an assistant coach in 1998, Stumpf spent two seasons as an assistant at Humboldt State. In addition, the San Diego native spent several years coaching club teams in the Santa Rosa area.
Gauchos Pick Second In Big West Preseason Poll
UCSB, which shared the Big West regular season title with Long Beach State in 2006, has been picked to finish in a tie for second-place in the 2007 Big West preseason coaches poll. Long Beach earned five of nine first-place votes and totaled 77 points in the poll, good for the top spot. The Gauchos and Cal Poly each received a pair of first-place votes and totaled 63 points to tie for second. Cal State Fullerton, the two-time defending league tournament champion, was picked fourth. UC Riverside was chosen fifth, Cal State Northridge was picked sixth, Pacific was seventh, UC Davis was eighth and UC Irvine was selected ninth.
Ives To Redshirt
Junior forward Genelle Ives, a First Team All-Big West choice in 2006 and a Second Team All-Big West honoree in 2005, will redshirt the 2007 season with a knee injury, head coach Paul Stumpf has announced. Ives, the Big West co-Freshman of the Year in 2005, has either led or tied for the team-lead in goals each of her first two seasons. In her two years, the Dana Point, Calif., native has 13 goals and 10 assists for 36 points.
The Wright Stuff In Goal
Senior goalkeeper Katie Wright was a Second Team All-Big West choice in 2006 and she is once again expected to be a key to UCSB fortunes. Although she is nursing a sore knee, Wright is expected to be in the lineup when the season begins on Friday. Last year, she finished with a misleading 6-6-3 record. Wright went 6-1-1 in her final eight starts in 2006, going unbeaten in seven consecutive matches at one point. Her goals against average of 0.86 was the third lowest in school history and she recorded six shutouts. Wright's backups in 2007 are expected to be sophomore Kelly Soler and freshman Cassi Franklin. Soler redshirted in 2006 after playing part-time in 2005. Sophomore Tammy Lenham, the primary back-up in 2006, will sit-out the year with a shoulder injury.
In Defense Of The Gauchos
UCSB returns most of its defenders from a 2006 team that allowed just 18 goals in 20 matches and posted six shutouts. Junior Rachael Ritchey was a First Team All-Big West selection in 2007 after starting all 20 matches. She will anchor the middle of the defense. Senior Kandice Mclaughlin, an honorable mention all-leaguer last year, will also be back. She has a powerful leg and she is actually the team's top returning active goal-scorer having found the back of the net three times in 2006. Senior Katrina Wright, a left-footer, made 12 starts in 2006 and is a solid player on the outside. The fourth defender will likely come from a threesome of veterans. Junior Jessie Steinberg played in 11 matches in 2006 after redshirting the 2005 season. She will figure into the mix. Senior Katie Dwyer, limited due to injury in 2006, started 19 matches in 2005 and if she is healthy will get an opportunity to return to the lineup. Junior Katie Smith started 18 times in 2006 and like Dwyer, if she is healthy, will get a chance to return to the starting lineup in 2007.
Sami Am
Junior midfielder Sami Svrcek started all 20 matches for UCSB in 2006, scoring one goal and five assists for seven points. Svrcek finished second on the team with her five assists. This year, she is expected to takeover the leadership role in the midfield. A very good play-maker and a fierce competitor, Svrcek is also one of the team captains.
The Rest Of The Midfield Story
Svrcek is expected to be joined in the starting lineup by sophomore Sarah Stoltz and junior Linda Allen. Stoltz, like Svrcek is a tremendous competitor. She started just three matches in 2006, but played in all 20, notching a pair of assists. Allen played in 18 and started 11. She had one assist. Freshman Kate Mogannam (Monte Vista HS/Danville, Calif.) and senior Romy Barber will get an opportunity to earn time.
Now For Something Completely Different
Well, not completely different. While the backline and midfield have some similarity to last season, the Gaucho forward line will have only a little resemblance. With junior Genelle Ives redshirting, junior Michelle Russell, who played in 18 matches and scored one goal in 2006, will likely be the only familiar face among the starters up front. She came to camp in the best shape of her career and seems to have seized the opportunity to start. She will probably be joined by a pair of freshmen. Jaqui Simon, who can play both midfield and forward, transferred to UCSB after sitting out the 2006 season at UCLA. She was in school during the spring season, so she should have no problem finding her niche. The third spot will probably go to a true freshman, either Brooke Salyer (Santa Margarita HS/Trabuco Canyon, Calif.) or Erica Seidman (Tesoro HS/Coto de Caza, Calif.).

The new power jobs in IT will shifting to developers: people who create applications and that drive businesses forward or create bone-dry simple IT infrastructure to make it happen.
Years ago I was delivering a keynote at a conference when my Yahoo Messenger client popped up on the screen on my computer (and the screens to which I was projecting). In front of hundreds of people, I received this plea from my 11 year-old daughter:
"Daddy, I cannot get the printer to work. Can you help me?"
After pausing to type back, "I will call you in a half hour," and closing the application, I received chuckles from a sympathetic and knowing audience of IT people. Right then I realized something: everyone who owned a computer and associated peripherals was the IT person when they went home. Moreover, because operating systems, applications and devices rarely worked flawlessly - despite the marketing hype - they required an enormous amount of human intervention to do even many of the basic tasks. It hit me: In the consumer IT revolution, I was nothing more than "human middleware."

I got a similar response when I told people I was going to Canberra for a holiday. One person even asked me what drugs I was on, to consider two weeks in Canberra a good time.I am a history nut and abnormally interested in Civic Stuff. Canberra, as Australia's capital, not only has what must be the world's coolest houses of parliament (seriously, is there anywhere else you can walk up the side of the building and then roll down? And where the stone floor of the foyer is lousy with fossils?), it has all the best museums. I saw a landing boat from Gallipoli; not a similar boat, not a replica, an actual Gallipoli landing boat full of bullet holes. I saw The Big Picture. I saw Phar Lap's heart and Rolf Harris's wobbleboard. I saw the freaking Magna Carta; again, not a replica or fascimile but an actual 13th Century piece of vellum with the seal of Edward the First on it!! I bought a coffee mug with the Prime Minister's face on it and saw five Monets and tracked down the fate of a great-great uncle who was killed in WWI. I even got to write on a slate with a slate pencil and saw Ninjas advertising a Mexican restaurant.What's not to love?
I can believe it, Lady Pekoe. DH and I were seriously considering moving out to Iowa, to the town my friend lives in. When I told someone else this who works as a special ed teacher at various schools in the county, she said "But what about your boys education? The schools out there aren't very good!"
I'm from Wisconsin. I get the same reaction when I tell people I love Wisconsin..
I got a similar response when I told people I was going to Canberra for a holiday.
And then there's Kansas.People insist on believing that Kansas is perfectly flat, border to border. Even when you tell them that the joke at the University of Kansas is that you can tell how many years a woman has attended, by the size of her calf muscles. The campus is built on the top of a hill, and the parking lots are all at the bottom. Even when I suggest that they look at my legs, and consider that I have a graduate degree from KU.
Quote from: iridaceae on April 19, 2010, 09:08:49 AMI'm from Wisconsin. I get the same reaction when I tell people I love Wisconsin..I don't know what part of the state you're from, but I've been to Madison and the surrounding area twice and absolutely LOVED it.

This agreement problem doesn't lend itself to an easy solution. Imagine, for example, that the source process is the only faulty process. It tells half the processes that the value of their order is 0, and the other half that their value is 1.
After receiving the order from the source process, the remaining processes have to agree on a value that they will all decide on. The processes could quickly poll one another to see what value they received from the source process.
In this scenario, imagine the decision algorithm of a process that receives an initial message of 0 from the source process, but sees that one of the other processes says that the correct value is 1. Given the conflict, the process knows that either the source process is faulty, having given different values to two different peers, or the peer is faulty, and is lying about the value it received from the source process.
It's fine to reach the conclusion that someone is lying, but making a final decision on who is the traitor seems to be an insurmountable problem. And in fact, it can be proven that it is impossible to decide in some cases. The classic example used to show this is when there are only three processes: One source process and two peer processes.
In the configurations in Figures 1 and 2, the peer processes attempt to reach consensus by sending each other their proposed value after receiving it from the source process. In Figure 1, the source process (P1) is faulty, sending two different values to the peers. In Figure 2, P3 is faulty, sending an incorrect value to the peer.
You can see the difficulty P2 faces in this situation. Regardless of which configuration it is in, the incoming data is the same. P2 has no way to distinguish between the two configurations, and no way to know which of the two other processes to trust.
This situation doesn't necessarily get better just by throwing more nonfaulty processes at the problem. A naïve algorithm (as in Figures 1 and 2) would have each process tell every other process what it received from P1. A process would decide the correct decision by simple majority.
It's relatively easy to show that, regardless of how many processes are in the system. A subversive source process with one collaborator can cause half the processes to choose to attack, and half the processes to retreat, leading to maximum confusion.

I've heard 'Setera'.
When it comes to pronounce English names, I am 50% lost.
Does it pronounce like "Ketera" or "Setera"?
Please help.
I've heard 'Setera'.
I've heard Setera, too.
(Wonder if he has a brother named Et?")
(Et cetera? Get it? ...... never mind.....)
Last edited by Ouisch; 13-Sep-2006 at 15:52.
Thank you very much. Et Cetera... that was funny.
BTW, can you help more with the following questions?
1. "Illinois": do you pronounce the 's' or not? I have heard 2 different ways, wondering why? Is there a reason behind?
2. "Chicago": I heard people saying "CheeCargo" and "SheeCargo". Any background of origin regarding this?
These are the confusing things to me. I also wonder how do Americans learn about distinguishing those things... Where is the best site to look up for things like this? Pronunciation is my weakest point in learning English.
Thank you in advance.
You will find that even Americans have trouble or differences of opinion when it comes to pronouncing certain place names. The correct pronunciation of Illinois is "ill-eh-NOY". You do not pronounce the S. (But I've heard Yanks that do.) Chicago is pronounced "shih-CAH-go." Again, you'll hear all sorts of different variations.
I live in Michigan, which is pronounced MISH-eh-gan. But almost everywhere I've been in the UK, they always say "MITCH-eh-gan."
Ouisch, I would have got your town wrong.
Geography was always my worst subject. And I have gone downhill since.
In all fairness, I often mispronounce foreign place names, too. I live in the city of Birmingham. There is also a city in England called Birmingham. And when I'm in the UK and pronounce "Birmingham", the natives get a big ol' laugh out of it.
I say "BIR-ming-ham." They say something like "BIR-minmmmmmm"

|The COCOCOZY booth at the New York International Gift Fair. (above)
CM who runs all things operations is here with me (he is doing an amazing job...so impressed with his skills on the floor with clients). Also MK, a lovely interior designer here in NYC, is helping out too.
It has been a whirlwind as usual. I arrived on Thursday night. I went directly to best of friend AM's fabulous Soho apartment that she shares with her nice hubby JE and her two darling kids. I haven't seen AM since the summer so I was so thrilled to be there with her. She's like family.
The next morning we hit the ground running. We arrived at the Javits Center on Friday. Set up the booth in one day (a record for us thanks to CM and MK). Oh did I mention...as I was looking at the COCOCOZY bedding in the Downtown Company booth...someone spilled coffee all over several of our sample bedding shams...it was late evening on set up day and I was there by myself, so I rescued the coffee stained sham, spent a good half hour rinsing and washing right here at the fair!
Then TE arrived in town from Los Angeles on Friday night and I met him at the Bowery Hotel (love it there). We then went to dinner in Chinatown with AM and JE at an interesting restaurant named Pulqueria (upstairs a Chinese restaurant but then downstairs is a rocking Mexican eatery complete with a DJ and great margaritas).
Saturday I dragged TE to the flower district to pick up Dianthus Green Trick, Boxwood topiaries, and white orchids (I'll show you shots of our booth greenery later), we put the finishing touches on the booth, went to lunch at Lucky Strike in Soho with AM, JE and kiddies, did a bit of shopping (walking around in the freezing cold in Soho was fun only when we went inside the stores...I'm not accustomed to super cold weather so TE heard my best wimpering and whining on that day). Saturday ended with a big dinner at Gemma with the Capel Rugs folks John Magee and Tami Watras and designer Kevin O'Brien, TE, AM, JE and me. A fun dinner.
Then yesterday the show began! More updates to come.

If you are going to the NYIGF, please stop by and see us on the lower floor of the Javits Center, booth #7919. I'd love to say "hi"!
Happy happy Monday!

Might I recommend you start a blog instead of filling up the CT&P forum with your condescending superiority complex?
Your inane ramblings mean nothing. Your quasi-intellectualism is nauseating. Please stop.
Can one drastically, sustainably realize a superior state with the snap of their fingers, without actually making any effort? Of course not. Because what a "superior" state is, is precisely unknown to them.Crow speaks of certain qualities corresponding to 'superiority', such as experience, authority, lack of ego, etc.Why not simply use the terms "experience", "authority", "lack of ego", etc? Oh, well actually he does. But then he adds the word "superiority" to top it all off. Does it imply anything extra?Crow talks about his perspective of enlightenment and strategies for attaining enlightenment. But he never defines "superiority".
Petty polemics on the internet are only committed by complete fags, and such should only be reserved for trolling operations : so go out on the internet, you fags, and troll them instead.Imagine if we were an actual army, like Hells Angels or the CIA, and not an equal mass of differing opinions. How would you fare?Internet polemics are mostly retarded, as at least one side is neglecting the nuances of the others postulates.
He describes it. He does not claim it.
If you are posting on this site and take concepts like superiority as being offensive, perhaps you need to reevaluate your participation here.
Life isn't about proof. It is about living. And proof is nothing, whatever, to do with living. Neither is ego.
Ego is what you pretend you are, when you aren't. Ego stands in for the substance that is lacking. Ego makes of you, something you wish you were, but aren't. Ego prevents you, from ever being what you claim to be. It never occurs to the inferior, that they behave as they do, because of their inferiority. It never occurs to them, either, that what they see in a superior being, is, in fact, superiority. There are a few who recognize their inferiority. And seek to leave it behind, as a child outgrows its toys. But for every one of those, there are a hundred who cling to childhood.
4th Layer(900-1200 ELO)Smell of sulfur everywhere and the oppressive heat is getting to your head, hopefully you get out of here quick...The "Misplaced Tryhard" level as i like to call it. This ELO range consists of players who are pretty much raging before the game even starts. Chances are the players are also always between the ages of 12-14. They feel that they were misplaced and aren't actually this bad, when in reality they are much much worse. Teamwork once again is LOWER than the previous levels, this is because your teammates are too busy blaming that 9/1 teemo for the loss, or *****ing at that guy who plays AP taric instead of AD. Whatever they are complaining about, they think they are always right, always the best and always not the one at fault for the loss. If you manage to keep your sanity in this 4th layer, you've already won the game forever, because if you can accept that sometimes maybe sometimes, it was your fault your team lost... then you're always a better player than the 900-1200 range.

I'm not the fluffy love bunny you seem to think me to be."Furthermore, not only is it derogatory towards others to call one's self superior, but to make it the central thesis of a thread, to imply it goes hand-in-hand with enlightenment, to never give any definition of it, and to stress that unenlightened folks are painfully ignorant of it... it's a sneaky, passive-aggressive way of touting one's horn for no other purpose than to get off on it."That right there is why I said what I did.
