The Sports Doctor: Weight loss through jogging
Dr. Robert F. Weiss
Although losing weight through exercise is slower than by calorie restriction, it is more effective. An excellent form of exercise for improved health is jogging. It is simple, requires no special skills, and can be enjoyed at any age. It is convenient and involves a minimum of time each week.
From a physiological standpoint, it is an excellent form of exercise as it puts a moderate amount of stress on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
If you were never an athlete, you will develop your own natural instinct for your personal exercise program. However, anyone older than 40 years of age should consult his or her medical doctor before starting an exercise program.
The most important factor in the use of exercise to help control body fat is to concentrate on the distance you travel, not how fast you go. The benefits from jogging do not come from speed but from distance. The more you jog, the more muscle imbalances can occur. Daily exercise for stretching and strengthening of the muscles is very important to anyone's jogging program.
The calf, hamstring (back of the leg and thigh), and lower back muscles can become contracted and shortened, as well as tight and inflexible. Therefore, it is extremely important to stretch these muscles before jogging.
Also, the shin, quadriceps (front of thigh), and belly muscles can become weakened. It is therefore important to strengthen these muscles as well.
Dr. Robert Weiss, a sports podiatrist, was a member of the Medical Advisory Committee of the 1984 and the 1988 Olympic Trials. He is a veteran of 30 marathons. Weiss is a Fairfield native who lives in Westport and has a practice in Darien. For information, visit his website at www.therunningdoctor.net.

November 21, 2012 11:30 ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 21, 2012) - Riverside Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RRI)(PINKSHEETS:RVSDF)(FRANKFURT:R99) ("Riverside" or the "Company") is pleased to announce initial drill results from the 2012 diamond drill program at the Lennac Project in central British Columbia (BC). Strong intervals of copper-porphyry mineralization have been returned from the first two drill-holes - LLDH-12-001 and LLDH-12-002 - drilled at the West Zone. This is one of a number of targets on the Lennac property and Riverside along with investing partner, Antofagasta Minerals S.A., continue to progress porphyry copper targets in British Columbia.
Drill-hole LLDH-12-001 intersected Cu-Au mineralization over its entire length, returning 0.189% Cu and 0.033 g/t Au over 345.9 metres. Drill-hole LLDH-12-002 was collared 470m north-northwest of LLDH-12-001 and returned 0.164% Cu and 0.023 g/t Au over 445.5m with mineralization again intersected from surface to the bottom of the hole.
Table 1: Assay results for LLDH 12-001 and LLDH 12-002
Riverside's President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, commented, "We are very pleased with our progress in this Exploration Alliance with major copper producer, Antofagasta Minerals S.A. British Columbia exploration work this season produced encouraging results and several targets were identified at Lennac and Flute for further drilling and exploration in the coming months and through 2013." Staude added, "Riverside is currently reviewing a number of additional prospects in BC and building a strong portfolio with partner Antofagasta."
Drill-holes LLDH-12-001 and LLDH-12-002 were drilled to test copper porphyry mineralization at the historically identified West Zone within the main Lennac Trend. Mineralization occurs as disseminated and vein controlled chalcopyrite and pyrite within potassically altered intrusives and volcanics similar to other Cu-Au porphyry systems in the region including the Huckleberry, Bell and Granisle mines. The Lennac Trend covers a >3km trend of copper-porphyry showings made up of the West Zone, East Zone and Southeast Zone. A favorable aeromagnetic signature suggests the trend may continue under shallow cover for over 6 km along strike. Continuity of mineralization along the trend was explored through recent prospecting and top-of-bedrock reverse circulation (RC) drill testing by Riverside.
Historic drilling at the West Zone was limited to a shallow (<100m total depth) reverse-circulation drilling and 5 deeper diamond drill-holes completed between 1973 and 1974; several of the historic diamond drill-holes terminated in mineralization. The 2012 diamond drill-holes tested the extent and continuity of the copper porphyry mineralization to depth and along strike using two widely spaced drill-holes as a first pass to assessing the broader potential of this target area on the large Lennac property land package.
LLDH-12-001 was drilled due north at a -70 angle; LLDH-12-002 was collared 470m north-northeast of LLDH-12-001 and drilled due south at a -70 angle. A total of 800.4m of drilling were completed at the West Zone over the 2012 season. Drill-holes LLDH-12-003 and LLDH-12-004 tested prospective areas at the East Zone - located over a kilometer to the east of the West Zone. Final results from the diamond drilling at the East Zone are still pending.

Masummomaya necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 224 diseños de 52 diseñadores freelance.
I am young woman curator, writer and podcast-creator looking to showcase my portfolio of work (mostly on global women's issues) and strike out on my own as an independent consultant offering writing, research, podcast-creation and curatorial services. I have worked with and interviewed artists, advocates and activists around the world to create my work. Something that distinguishes my work is that it is both conceptually provocative and aesthetically moving - and I would like my website to reflect this.
I will market this website to my existing networks, which include individual women's rights and gender equality activists as well as local and international women's organizations and also journalists/media producers and employees at international foundations and UN agencies, most of whom will be women. Most of the people I am marketing to have fairly "institutional" looking websites and I don't want anything like this. One of the services I plan to offer is helping my target audience create and display their own research and content in more compelling ways, so I want my website to reflect this. As mentioned above, I am looking for a website that is both conceptually provocative and aesthetically moving.
I am looking for 2 pages of the website to be designed: the homepage and an internal page.
Both should have an international flavor and be elegant & visually driven, in the same way that many websites for photographers are designed.
Please feel free to experiment with colors and fonts but generally I like designs that are clean (not too busy), bold, elegant and visually striking.
The homepage should have a navigation bar, some visual treatment of my name (Masum Momaya), room for me to identify myself with a headline and a small paragraph, a box whose content will change (called "What's on my desk") and perhaps some images.
I also need an internal webpage designed that will serve as a template for multiple pages including an About Me page and a page that houses links to my portfolio of work, including online exhibitions, podcasts and written articles. I would like to have each portfolio item be represented by an iconic image in addition to some text and it would be great if the whole portfolio could look like something besides a long list of stuff.
Sorry there is no existing website - that's why I am here!
Here are the links to two online exhibitions I have curated:
Both can be used as inspiration and reference points for the type of design I am looking for.
Also, here are other websites I like:
I like the two sites above for their clean and dramatic effect and their use of images.
I like the visual treatment of names in the sites above and the use of color.
I am also attaching samples of the kinds of images I might use for the website.

Thomas Heyward Academy standout Ryan Day, who rushed for more than 2,200 yards this season to lead the Rebels to a SCISAA Class 2-A state championship appearance, has decided not to play football in college and instead pursue a career in orthopedics.
His teammate, quarterback J.D. Tuten, will play on, however.
In recent days, Tuten was leaning toward taking a partial scholarship to play slot receiver for the Furman Paladins at the Division I FCS level. Tuten had camped at Furman, where the coaching staff liked him at receiver.
But as of Thursday, Tuten had ruled the Paladins out.

"Things changed and Furman was never doing what they said they would do," Tuten said. "So I took them off my radar."
Tuten has narrrowed his choices to two Division III schools, Berry College and Emory and Henry. He would play cornerback at Berry, slot receiver at Emory and Henry.
Thirteen students at Hilton Head Island High will sign National Letters of Intent to play at the next level on Wednesday.
The event will be at 5:30 p.m. in the school media center, athletics director Joe Monmonier said.
"We wanted a chance for parents to come so they wouldn't have to leave work," he added.
Quarterback Michael Julian, who will sign with Toledo, isn't the only Seahawk heading for the next level. Cross country standout Jack Manesiotis will sign with Florida while teammate Sean McMahon will sign with the College of Charleston.
Chris MacMurray -- last year's Island Packet and Beaufort Gazette boys soccer player of the year -- will firm up his intentions to play for Georgia Southern.
Ernie Suozzi's girls soccer team, the two-time defending state champions, have the bulk of the signees. Nine Seahawks in all have accepted scholarships, headlined by Emily Crick -- last season's area player of the year -- signing with Winthrop. Also, Faith Lifer is heading to Wofford and Bridget Noonan to USC Beaufort.
Six girls will sign with Charleston Southern and Erskine. Jordan Haughton-James, Kelsey Fitzhugh and Nikki Schoning will all play for the Buccaneers next season while Taylor Bush, Victoria Johnston and Alex Vinson will suit up for the Flying Fleet.
Beaufort High School girls basketball team will hold a community service event during its Feb. 5 home game against Colleton County.
The event, organized in part by Eagles assistant coach Carol Meegan, will benfit the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, which works to fight women's cancers. Kay Yow, the women's basketball coach at N.C. State, died of breast cancer in 2009.
Meegan, a former basketball coach at Thomas Heyward and Coker College, has worked for the Fund in the past. As of last week, 110 T-shirts had been sold for Beaufort High's initiative. Basketball players will wear pink T-shirts during warmups and pink shoelaces.
Donations will be accepted during the game.

Contraception Mandate - Ruling
CHICAGO (AP) — A federal judge in Chicago has temporarily blocked the U.S. government from requiring an Illinois company to provide its workers with health insurance that covers birth control.
Judge Amy St. Eve granted a preliminary injunction to Triune Health Group. Company owners Christopher and Mary Anne Yep say the law's requirement for contraceptive coverage for women violates their Roman Catholic beliefs.
The company's claim is one of dozens of similar lawsuits filed across the country. Mandatory coverage for contraception has been among the most controversial parts of President Barack Obama's health care law.
The company's current group health plan covers contraceptives, sterilization and abortion for about 48 employees and their dependents. The Yeps say they are seeking an employee insurance policy that excludes such coverage.

The Brooklyn-Queens Aquifer (BQA) Feasibility Study is a multi-phase study
designed to investigate the use of groundwater from aquifers to supplement
the City's drinking water supply and reduce flooding in Southeast Queens.
The Study also includes a cooperative effort with the New York State Department
of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) to clean up groundwater at the West
Side Corporation property, an NYSDEC Class 2 inactive hazardous waste
disposal site. For further information on the BQA project, see the Project
Fact Sheet.
will be no CAC Meeting in November
The BQA Study Project Team has initiated a comprehensive, ongoing program
of community outreach. Through public meetings, open houses, small group
briefings, informational mailings, a Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC),
and other forums, members of the public have the opportunity to voice
their concerns and receive up-to-date information about the Project.
(See the Synopsis of Community Outreach
Program - PDF.)
The CAC, in particular, is an essential component of the Outreach Program.
An advisory body made up of community partners from the public and private
sectors, the CAC's purpose is to assist DEP in conducting the BQA Feasibility
Study by providing guidance and input on water quality, flooding, health
and related environmental issues and outreach to groups and individuals
throughout the area.
Operational Guidelines (PDF)
The West Side Corporation (WSC), located at 107-10 180th Street in Jamaica,
was a dry cleaning storage and distribution center that handled large amounts
of the chemical perchloroethylene (a.k.a. perc or PCE) between 1969 and 1982.
When the business closed, it left behind spills and storage tank leaks that
resulted in the seepage of hazardous chemicals, including perc, through the
soil and into the groundwater.
Today, DEP and NYSDEC are working together to clean up the site. The
first phase of this project, which began in mid-April 2005, involves
soil remediation at the most contaminated areas of the site. For more

Websites help resell unwanted gift cards
Shopping Websites help recipients resell unwanted ones
For those who have a gift card to American Eagle but would prefer to shop at American Apparel, there may be a solution.
Online gift card marketplaces such as Plastic Jungle, Cardpool and Gift Card Rescue let consumers sell their unwanted gift cards for cash and buy new ones at a discount.
Consumers are expected to spend close to $25 billion on gift cards this holiday season, the National Retail Federation said. Three out of four shoppers will pick up at least one during the holidays.
But what happens when the gift card is for a retailer that the recipient doesn't frequent?
"I either don't spend it or I buy something I didn't want to buy," said Anson Tsai, CEO of San Francisco's Cardpool.
He and co-founder Timothy Wong started Cardpool last year after calculating how many gift cards they owned between the two of them. "When we did the math, we had 15 to 20 gift cards worth $2,000 combined," he said.
The premise is simple. To offload a gift card or store credit, the seller fills out an online form. Depending on its popularity, the seller receives about 80 to 85 percent of the value of the gift card and as much as 92 percent for in-demand retailers such as Target. The seller then mails the gift card to the site and the amount and authenticity are verified before a check is sent.
Shoppers, meanwhile, can browse the site's list of merchants, the amount on the gift card and their sale price - mostly about 10 to 15 percent off, though it can be as much as 30 percent off. A few, such as iTunes, are sold at a smaller 3 to 5 percent discount.
The list changes as gift cards are bought and sold. Popular ones can be snatched up within minutes.
"We've sold cards as quickly as we've acquired them," said Plastic Jungle CEO Bruce Bower. Especially now during the holidays, "if we had shelves, they would be flying off of them."
San Jose's Plastic Jungle, launched about four years ago, has transacted some $10 million worth of gift cards, Bower said.
Billions at stake
The biggest challenge is persuading consumers to trade in the gift cards they have tucked into their sock drawers. Last year, consumers lost about $5.8 billion because they didn't use their gift cards, were penalized with fees or their gift cards expired, according to the TowerGroup. (In California, gift cards do not expire or have fees.) Some estimates pin the accumulated amount of unused gift cards at $30 billion, or $300 per household.
For some consumers, it may not seem worthwhile to sell their gift cards if they won't receive the full amount in return. To entice them, Plastic Jungle will offer slightly more if the seller opts for an Amazon credit instead of cash. It also offers PayPal credit and Facebook credit. That's a better deal, Bower said, than wasting the time going to a store you don't usually shop at and hoping to find something you want.
The sites shoulder much of the risk because they take on the responsibility of purchasing the gift card and selling it. Plastic Jungle said it has safeguards in place to monitor how the gift cards are used and to catch fraud. In the past, it has caught and alerted retailers about suspicious activity.
There are also certain rules. Gift cards need to be worth at least $25. They also don't accept cards with expiration dates or additional fees.
Still, consumers need to be cautious when they pick up gift cards from a secondary market, said Brian Riley, a senior research director for the TowerGroup, because they can't be sure where the gift card or merchandise credit originally came from. Consumers also have to be wary of retailers unexpectedly going belly-up, leaving their gift cards worthless.
For Joan Romero, who stumbled across Plastic Jungle about a year ago, it's a better bet than bidding on a gift card on eBay, something she's done in the past to save money. The 52-year-old San Jose resident has purchased several gift cards from Plastic Jungle as graduation and wedding gifts.
Nowadays, she frequently checks the site to see what's available. "If I see a card one day, I can't wait, because the next day it might not be there," she said. "You have to act on it pretty fast."
Good for stores
Either way, retailers stand to benefit. Shoppers tend to splurge when they use their gift cards, often going over the amount of the card. A study by First Data found that, when redeeming gift cards, 27 percent purchased something they had not planned to purchase and an additional 10 percent bought a more expensive version of an item they had planned to purchase.
Stricter laws, in California and throughout the nation, have also compelled merchants to encourage customers to use their gift cards rather than letting them go to waste.
"They want the card in the hands of people who will use them," Bower said.

Keeping The Dream Alive
2 comments:
If I was making this list, i would try to do it later in the year. Miz cannot win without alex riley. since riley divorced miz, he hasn't done anything while C.M. punk has owned john cena and become the biggest name in wrestling since bret Hart and Steve austin in their prime (1997). punk has saved wrestling while the miz has draged it down.

Punk hasn't saved anything this year. Wrestling was in no danger of "dying."
My biggest issue with the PWI Top 500 is in fact that it is kayfabe and gives so much rub to WWE and TNA wrestlers who may not deserve. All the fans that called for CM Punk simply just watch the WWE.
While I think the list has major merit if Tanahashi isn't number one for 2012 then I think it only caters to American wrestling. I would like the list to accompany a reason for why each of the top 100 selected for the position they were in.
As it ignores the NWA for the most part and I don't feel is the best representation for who is doing what where.

The Bryan Fischer Award is given to those who display a staggering lack of self-awareness, accusing their enemies of having the same traits and the same behavior that they themselves exhibit in spades. Here's Pat Robertson claiming that Islam is not a religion, it's "an economic and political system with a religious veneer."
This coming from a man who has used his religious beliefs to gain both incredible economic riches and enormous political influence. Irony!

So, John Catoe is off to enjoy sunny California and to become a transit consultant. It's really hard for us to know just exactly what his legacy here will be. He was dealt a rough hand: a union that seems to be more a part of the problem than the solution, insufficient funding, and a legacy of bad decisions and lack of foresight almost dating back to WMATA's inception.
Seriously, it has taken WMATA six series of rail cars to finally abandon aluminum construction and hopefully get rid of that stupid carpeting. The silver lining about the new cars is that they're apparently not compatible with the existing cars!
But Back to Catoe. He was touted as a leader with vision, and some would argue he was just starting to make a difference. After all, he was named the nation's top public transit manager by the lobbyist group for mass transit.
Anyway, Catoe will be fine. Given WMATA's predilection to hire consultants instead of looking in the mirror, there will probably be plenty of opportunities for him to come back (or telework) and chip in his two cents worth. That's ten grand a week in the mass transit consulting world.
At the going rate, if he consults for a year, he'll substantially improve on his WMATA GM compensation of $360,000 a year.
Leave your farewell Catoe thoughts in the comments, and don't forget the miracle of the inauguration--the single greatest achievement in the history of mass transit ever. At least that's what WMATA would like to believe.
Catoe's last day is April 2.

Product DescriptionCheckout this beautiful strand of African sandcast. The process of making these beads is unique to Africa and has been used for over 1000 years. Pulverized glass of various colors is poured into a clay mold, using a cassava stem for the bead's hole. The mold is placed in a furnace and heated until the glass particles congeal without actually melting and the stem burns out. The Ghanaians have been making beads in this manner since the 1600s. Beads measure 6-7mm in diameter.

Back-to-back homers spark Cubs past Bucs
CHICAGO -- Jason Hammel was looking forward to pitching at Wrigley Field since he signed with the Cubs in February. The right-hander had made 216 career starts and had been to the ballpark as a visitor, but he had never taken the mound there.
He won't forget his first game, especially after it ended with Anthony Rizzo congratulating him on his first National League win.View Full Game Coverage
CHICAGO -- Jason Hammel was looking forward to pitching at Wrigley Field since he signed with the Cubs in February. The right-hander had made 216 career starts and had been to the ballpark as a visitor, but he had never taken the mound there.
He won't forget his first game, especially after it ended with Anthony Rizzo congratulating him on his first National League win.View Full Game Coverage
Hammel held the Pirates to three hits, all solo home runs, over seven innings, and Mike Olt and Junior Lake belted back-to-back homers to help power the Cubs to a 7-5 victory Wednesday night and even the series.
This wasn't Hammel's first NL win, of course -- Rizzo apparently forgot that the right-hander beat the Pirates last Thursday at PNC Park and also won 27 games with the Rockies -- but it prompted some good-natured humor.
"I have to throw my first baseman under the bus," Hammel said as he entered the media interview room. "He just congratulated me on my first NL win. Just make sure everybody knows Rizzo was not with us in Pittsburgh last week. That's a good one -- I didn't know I didn't win at all in Colorado either."
Rizzo acknowledged his mistake, and corrected it.
"We had a great atmosphere in here after the game," Rizzo said. "[Hammel] pitched his tail off, and we got him the 'W,' which is nice, and he's off to a great 2-0 start."
For the record, this was Hammel's first win at Wrigley Field.
"I got my first taste of Wrigley, and I hope it's much kinder next time," he said. "When the wind is howling out you've got to keep the ball down, and I made three mistakes today, and they all left the yard. I think a couple of those are outs in other ballparks, but you still have to keep the ball down."
Hammel said the 7-1 lead the Cubs opened after six innings helped him stay aggressive in the zone. It was already his second meeting against the Pirates this year; had he altered his approach?
"Today I featured more fastballs in and maybe threw offspeed first, and [tried to] get ahead with offspeed," he said. "Other than that, I was letting them dictate if you need to change your game plan and make adjustments, but they didn't do too much. If you're throwing strikes, you can get good hitters out."
Hammel retired the first 12 batters he faced before Pedro Alvarez led off the fifth with his third home run of the season, launching a 1-2 fastball to left. Hammel also served up a leadoff home run to Travis Snider in the seventh and a solo shot to Russell Martin two outs later. Alvarez and Martin weren't done, hitting back-to-back homers in the ninth off Pedro Strop.
The Cubs' starter got some defensive help from shortstop Starlin Castro, who made a nice diving stop and throw to get Starling Marte to open the Pirates' fourth, and then drifted to shallow center to catch Snider's fly ball for the second out.
Darwin Barney also made a great play on Jordy Mercer's grounder to open the sixth, and he threw to Rizzo in time, although the first baseman had to do the splits to catch the ball.
"Outstanding defense up the middle; unbelieveable, Darwin and Starlin both," Hammel said. "We've got a solid squad. We lost a couple close ones here, but we still have 150-plus to go. It's a very long season."
"It's up to us for [the pitchers] to trust us and throw balls down the middle and let them hit it to us and let us make the plays," Rizzo said. "I think we're coming together real nice as a team right now."
Emilio Bonifacio got it all started when he singled to lead off for the Cubs, his Major League-leading 18th hit and 15th against the Pirates, and he scored one out later on Justin Ruggiano's double. Bonifacio would add one more hit, a double, in the sixth.
Olt belted his second home run of the season -- on his second hit of the year -- with two outs and a runner on in the Chicago fifth to open a 3-1 lead. Lake followed with his home run, the first time Cubs batters have gone back to back this season. Olt is still learning about Wrigley, too.
"I've heard some things about this field that [the wind] can either blow in hard or blow out," Olt said. "I was definitely happy to get something up in the air today."
Olt acknowledged he was a little pull happy early.
"Usually when I'm in a little bit of a funk and I feel I'm not right, that's my approach is to go up the middle and stay balanced and stay there," he said.
Olt and Lake have been part of Rick Renteria's platoon system, but the Cubs manager said he may go with Olt on Thursday in the series finale against right-hander Gerrit Cole.
"I'm confident in them, and what we're trying to build is the confidence they should have within themselves; that's the biggest thing," Renteria said. "Today they faced a lefty [in Wandy Rodriguez] and as the game progressed, they started to face righties, so they hit against both sides of the arm slot, and I think they held their own."
"The way I look at it," Olt said, "is I just have to be ready when I do get in there, and I'm trying to make sure I can get as much practice as I can and stay as fresh as I can."
Rizzo added an RBI double with one out in the sixth, which Olt directly followed with an RBI single. Lake hit a grounder to Alvarez, who threw to second for the force, then fired to first baseman Travis Ishikawa for what first-base umpire Mark Carlson called a double play. But Renteria challenged the call, and after a one-minute review, the call was overturned. Lake was credited with a fielder's choice and RBI to open a 7-1 lead.
Rizzo finished with four hits, matching his career high, and bounced back after a slow start.
"You want to get the seven, 12, 100 hits that Bonifacio got," Rizzo said, exaggerating slightly. "It's a long season, we went through a long season last year, and you know two weeks aren't going to make or break your season. It's nice to rack up some hits early."

Reading the wiki, Kaguya-hime is a beautiful girl that came from a split bamboo. Her real identity is that she came from the moon so that at one point, she cries whenever she looks at the full moon. I guess that's where the Rainy Moon thing comes from? Rain = tears?
And as a wild guess, maybe the moon refers to Tabane as a person (or Tabane's significance) since I read some posts that says the moon is important in the epilogues especially when Tabane is concerned. Looking at Tabane (or whatever Tabane has in plan) makes Houki cry/ would make Houki cry at some point in the future?
As for the Orihime title, her birthday is in Tanabata and Ichika acts as her Hikoboshi. So I guess that means Tabane is Deneb that leads to the reunion of the two?
And if we're going to go on a romantic tangent, is Karaware a verb or a noun? If we take it as the noun "Cracked Sky", it probably means the milky way (a figurative crack in the sky) that separates the lovers in the legend. If we take it as the verb "Splitting the heavens", maybe Tabane wants her to "cleave the heavens" or the Milky Way that divides Altair and Vega?
It's all just pure speculation (so don't take me too seriously). Guess I had too much fun finding a link between the swords' meaning and the different legends associated with Tanabata and Bamboo Cutter.

This is followed with Aunt Yukiko bringing Shinonono's Treasured Sword from the altar, and asked if Houki still has the Folding Fan. Then some description of Shinonono's Two Swords Style , and she performed the Kagura. The dance ended with the sword (on right hand, while the fan on the left) 'cutting the sky' (pg 158). And all this and many more in vol 04 will not make it to the anime
Notice how people around Houki are blessed with good/cute names, but not her. I like Tatenashi's down to earth name too (Plaque-less) or is it "Without the Shield"
Do take note that in both tales the princesses doesn't have "Happy Ending", (depending on how you define happy), and I'm prepared to face any endings the author planned for her, of course without any interruption/pressure/demand from fans
I still thinks Tabane is the bad guy girl, with Kuu as the Monkey, and Squall & Co. are the foxes, (of course Autumn is the Spider). And my instinct says Ugachi is a weapon to combat Chifuyu, while Amadzuki is to fight Tabane
There are 8-9 years gap betweeen Tabane and Houki, and I'm sure things happened before Houki had her first cry in the world and perhaps Tabane had her first happy/evil/whatever smile.
Yep I like my heroines' stories grim dark :P

And as for a "bad" ending for Houki, I'm okay with it as well. Or maybe like that idea that was thrown up long ago, maybe she can actually become the villain? I mean, she's becoming really strong (can replenish energy, S rank aptitude, a weapon that can blow through a golem that she managed to use accurately without reading the whole manual, most advanced IS).
A one hit kill weapon, infinite energy, highest stats due to AkaTsubaki and highest talent doesn't seem fitting for a character in the "good" side and seems more fitting for an enemy boss that must be defeated and redeemed by our "lovable" hero Ichika.
And there's that whole "getting carried away with power" issue that Houki has as well.

What motivates people to do family history?
Family history is more than names – we are drawn to the stories of their lives. We dig their names and dates out of vital records or the census and we dig deeper into newspapers and family letters to find the stories of their lives.
When I was teaching a genealogy class for the Darien Historical Society (CT) back in the early 1970s I asked my class – why were they interested in their family history?
One elderly man said – My sister was the kindest person he ever knew. She never married. I knew that if I didn't write our family history that no one would remember her. That always stuck with me.
In today's Denver Post Tina Griego wrote:
"Usually it starts with a family story. Grandma was tracking the family and they ended up with a box full of her papers. Or they heard someone in the family fought in the Revolutionary War. Or 'My ancestors came from Spain and settled in Mexico and I want to find that branch of the family.' "
What is it, I ask her, that draws people to their family histories? What is it they hope to learn? Why does it matter?
As I ask, I am aware that these questions are as much professional as they are personal.

Interop: Open Compute Project To Tackle Network Switching
Since Facebook kicked off the Open Compute Project by donating its overall data center design, the OCP Foundation has been chipping away at open sourcing designs for all of the critical components that go into the data center. Next up: network switches.
In a keynote speech at Interop, Facebook VP of hardware design and supply chain Frank Frankovsky reviewed two years of progress at expanding the scope of the project, which now includes open designs for server racks and cold storage designs based on how Facebook handles your old photos.
These designs are geared for very high performance and scalability, but also for energy efficiency. The industry average is that a data center will consume about 1.9 times as much electrical power as actually makes it to a server delivering compute services because of waste in the process, including electrical conversions and air conditioning demands. By minimizing the need for conversions and eliminating air conditioning, Facebook has been able to reduce that factor to about 1.07, Frankovsky said, which translates into an operational cost savings of about 38 percent. The design also reduced the capital expense budget by 24 percent.
[ For more on Frankovsky's Interop keynote, see Facebook's Frank Frankovsky: Open Compute Debate. ]
In addition to sharing its plans for how to build a cloud data center from scratch, Facebook has published optimizations from an earlier stage in its growth when it was doing "everything the landlord allowed" to maximize its use of colocation data center facilities. OCP has also come up with a rack design for colocation spaces. Those colocation designs have become some of the most popular OCP assets because they can be applied by many more companies, Frankovsky said.
As a company that has been heavily involved in using and contributing to open source software projects, Facebook wanted to see the same principles applied to hardware, Frankovsky said, as a way to "move forward the pace of innovation as fast as we can." Many other sorts of companies, such as financial services firms, have joined with the effort out of their own frustration that vendor product roadmaps don't always match their requirements as well as they could.
Hardware vendors who are beginning to see it's in their best interest to participate are starting to become some of the project's best contributors, Frankovsky said.
The networking layer of a data center operation has been the last on the list for OCP to tackle. That's starting to change, with Intel recently contributing an optical interconnect design for server racks and taking some preliminary steps toward open designs for software-defined networking. The last big empty spot on the architecture slide Frankovsky shared was an open design for network switches, which today are uniformly delivered as appliances with proprietary hardware and software.
You should be able to buy bare metal and program the switch to operate according to your specifications. Work on that next phase of the project will begin at an OCP engineering summitscheduled for May 16 at MIT.
Frankovsky invited members of the Interop crowd to contribute their own knowledge and requirements to making it a success. "The more people we get to work on these really hard problems, the better," he said. "Openness always wins."

Cassia Carmo - Care, Care & Spanish in Argentina
I had been learning Spanish for about a year and I started to realise the importance of connecting a language with its cultural background. I had been in a summer camp, a few years before where I met some people from Argentina, and they all gave me a very good impression of the country.
Apart from being very friendly and easy-going they made my mouth water by describing their typical food. After reading some testimonials and getting the information about the 2 Week Special in Care, I was sure that "the land of silver" was the right choice for me.
After my long journey I felt exhausted, but I couldn't wait to explore the homeland of Tango! I remember feeling very welcome and safe when Lourdes, a Projects Abroad staff member (who was already waiting for me at the airport), smiled at me and told me that she would always be there for me, whenever I needed.
My Host Family
I had been very anxious before, trying to imagine who would host me and hoping that they would like me. I knew that I would have a roommate as well and the truth was that I didn't really know what to expect.
My first breakfast was a shocking experience for both me and my roommate, Sarah. We were used to the traditional continental breakfast (cereals, milk or fruit) and we suddenly found out that the first meal would be much lighter (crackers and tea). Later on that day, we talked to our host mum, and she said that preparing us a more "complete" breakfast wouldn't be a problem.
During my whole time in Argentina, I had no reasons for complaining about my host family. They made me feel like part of them, always asking us if we were comfortable and telling us funny stories of their everyday life. This was probably the reason why Harriot, a girl that had been there for three months, found it very difficult to say goodbye.
I was also very lucky with my roommate. She was talkative and funny and we helped each other every time we felt a bit lost.
Volunteering in Argentina
Working with children is magical. Having worked with those children made me a better person. They were all so simple, always offering us a happy smile when we played together. Two weeks sounds like a very short period of time, but they were enough for me to miss them.
Every day, we spent a whole afternoon learning their games, teaching them how to do simple things, such as reading the time or doing some craft work and simply accepting the fact that love is a universal language. They gave us a lot of love when we hugged them, when they fell asleep on our laps, when they jumped to our backs for us to carry them around. Once, the little boys taught me how to play rugby and I felt as if I was a little girl again, by the end of the day, covered in dust from running frenetically.
The best moment of the day was "la hora de la leche". They all sat together, like brothers and sisters, and we gave them milk and cookies.
They always surprised me with their ability to make me smile. One day, a little girl came to my lap during the cookie time, kissed my cheek and split her cookie into two, giving me one half. It is indescribable how appreciated I felt for that simple gesture. That is why I missed them so much! On the last day, some of them made drawings for me and I still keep them. It was an amazing experience and I wish I had stayed longer.
Travelling in Argentina
As a group, we met some other volunteers and we did very nice activities. We played bowling and, although I came 8th (out of 10), I still had fun. We also attended a Tango lesson and I was amused by the perfect articulation of movements by the teachers! We had a lot of fun trying to dance too! It was a very interesting night.
On the weekend, we visited Che Guevara museum, the General Belgrano vile and El Peñon del Aguila. Gue Guevara museum was fascinating because it was actually the house where Gue Guevara used to live and they organised the rooms perfectly as if he still lived there. General Belgrano Vile was a vile built by the Germans during the colonialism period and entering there was like entering the scenario of a movie, with a lot of beer shops around (of course). We had so much fun zip sliding from one mountain to another in El Peñon del Aguila! Simply unforgettable!
I also loved the Argentinian food! I had already heard about their meat being the best in South America, but I didn't know how good their alfajores were! Yummy!
Leaving Argentina
I am very happy for having been part of such an interesting project! I intend to start a similar one in my home country (Angola) and this gave me a real picture of how to do so. If I were to choose one thing I liked the most about the Argentinians, I think that I it would be their hospitality. The land of silver has people with the value of gold, and this makes Argentina a very special place.

1. "We will never live up to your expectations."
Mary Schapiro announced this week that she's leaving her post as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission after four of the most turbulent years in the agency's history. Elisse Walter, Schapiro's successor will likely face challenges of her own. After all, last year's "Occupy Wall Street" protestors weren't livid with just the financial industry. They were also mad at the people who were supposed to be policing that sector. On that score, the SEC is first in the firing line. It infamously missed the warning signs related to some of the biggest financial scandals in history, experts say: The collapse of energy giant Enron in 2001, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and Bernie Madoff's multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme in 2009.
To be fair, experts also point out that the agency faces a near-impossible job as the watchdog of Wall Street. Nonetheless, "it's also up to the SEC to manage that expectation," says Michael Josephson, former law professor and founder and president of the nonprofit Josephson Institute of Ethics in Los Angeles. "It knows better than anyone what it can achieve."
Meanwhile, individual investors are learning to do their own due diligence when it comes to choosing brokers and advisers, says Seth Rabinowitz, a partner at management consulting firm Silicon Associates. "For those who do feel protected, they are ill advised to feel so safe," he says. "The SEC regulates what companies disclose, but it often doesn't do a very good job."
The SEC is certainly aware of its Sisyphean task. John Nester, a commission spokesman, says the agency is increasing its case load and becoming more proactive, particularly in the aftermath of the Madoff case. As a result, the SEC has offered increased incentives to potential whistleblowers. It seems to be working: Nester notes that the agency filed 734 enforcement actions for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2012, just one shy of the record number of actions taken in 2011. It also obtained orders requiring the payment of more than $3 billion to harmed investors during the last fiscal year, an 11% increase from the previous year and more than twice the agency's annual budget.

In January, the Missouri Renewable Fuel Standard became law in the Show-Me state. The standard requires an E10 blend of gasoline (10 percent ethanol) when the price of ethanol is less than regular gasoline. Missouri is one of three states with such a fuel standard and the first to have such a pricing mechanism.
But is it really saving drivers money at the fuel pump? To find out, the Missouri Corn Merchandising Council recently commissioned a study by John Urbanchuk and LECG, an economic consulting service.
Study in hand, in late April, Urbanchuk (http://www.lecg.com/website/LWBios.nsf/OpenPage/JohnM.Urbanchuk) testified before lawmakers — along with opponents of the new standard — at the Missouri State Capitol. He spoke with Delta Farm Press shortly after that appearance. Among his comments:
On the Missouri testimony…
"The legislation developed by the opponents of the E10 mandate (was discussed). They're seeking to have the mandate removed and they presented the picture from the perspective of the cattle industry.
"Those of us working on the side of the corn industry — and my client, of course, is the Missouri Corn Merchandising Council — pointed out that not just the corn sector, but all Missourians, benefit from E10 blended gasoline. Ethanol works to the benefit of all Missourians."
On highlights from the study…
"We were asked to examine and analyze the impact of E10 on gasoline prices at the pump — that would be 90 percent gasoline and 10 percent ethanol. We used actual data for gasoline prices at various stages of distribution channels … and the retail price for 2007 and year-to-date for 2008 (through the end of March).
"Then, we made projections based on forecasts for gasoline and wholesale ethanol prices that were developed by the U.S. Department of Energy and published in the Energy Information Agency's long-term U.S. energy outlook. Those numbers were first published in January and updated in March.
"What we found is that in 2007, when roughly 70 percent of the gasoline in Missouri was voluntarily blended with ethanol, the average savings was 7.7 cents per gallon.
"In 2008, we estimate the difference will be 9.8 cents. Obviously, oil and gasoline prices have skyrocketed. While ethanol prices have increased, they haven't (risen like gasoline)."
So the numbers you cited in your testimony mean 2008 will be better for consumers?
"I'm confident in the 9.8 cents per gallon (prediction) as a consequence of using E10. And that's a benefit for every Missouri driver. There are 3.9 million licensed drivers in the state. They'll each end up saving about $73."
When would ethanol be cost-prohibitive?
"The combination of factors that would render ethanol uneconomical would be if oil and gas prices fell while ethanol prices increased.
"Because what you're looking at is 90 percent of the blend is gasoline. Keep in mind, the ethanol price was adjusted … There's a 51 cent volumetric ethanol excise tax credit that the blender — the person who buys the ethanol from the producer — receives. Basically, that tax allows him to reduce his effective cost for ethanol.
"So, if you have a circumstance where gas prices fell and ethanol prices rose, ethanol may not be cost-effective. But I have a hard time seeing that circumstance occur. Oil prices continue to rise and gasoline is following.
"Ethanol prices are determined by a combination of gasoline — because it's sold as an additive to gasoline — and ethanol production. While rising oil prices will also carry ethanol along, the ethanol price will be moderated by the fact that we're producing more and more of it.
"I feel confident that over the next decade Missourians will save about 7.2 cents per gallon due to use of E10."
With rising food prices are you having an increasingly hard time getting your message across?
"In many respects, these are two separate issues.
"What we're doing is looking specifically at retail level gasoline prices and asking, 'what is the impact of ethanol at the pump?'
"Looking at food prices, last month the CPI for food beverages was 4.7 percent above March of 2007. Total CPI was up a bit over 4 percent.
"So, food prices are accelerating faster than they have in the past several years. They aren't anywhere near the rates of change we had back in the early and mid-1990s. And you could go back to the glory days of Jimmy Carter when we had double digit increases in prices.
"But food prices are beginning to rise. Why is that happening? Critics of biofuel say it's because of the way corn is being used. Corn being used to make ethanol isn't being put into the food system and, as a consequence, food prices are going up.
"The fallacy with that argument is when you make ethanol from corn, you don't lose the full feed value. And keep in mind — and it astounds me that we must continue to remind people of this — that the corn we're talking about is eaten by us in the form of a pork chop or chicken or a glass of milk. That corn represents one raw material, one ingredient — an important one, I admit — in the production of meat, milk and poultry. And it has some impact on other things like sweeteners. But it's only one raw material.
"The price for energy, however, has a much greater impact on retail food prices than does the price of corn. To say that the only reason that food prices are increasing is due to ethanol is absolutely wrong and a ridiculous allegation, in my opinion.
"Is it having an impact? Is it a contributing factor? Yes but not, by any stretch of the imagination, the major factor or even a major factor.
More on the error of fusing food prices and ethanol…
"The other part of the situation involves the consumer retail food basket. Take a look at the products corn plays a direct role in as a cost of production: beef, pork, chicken, turkeys, and eggs. And let's add milk in, too, although corn plays a tiny role in dairy costs.
"Looking at all that, you'll find that those foods only account for about 30 percent of the food products in the average retail food basket.
"There's a lot of stuff going on that impacts food prices. To lay the blame for food price increases at the feet of biofuels is wrong.
"Also, take a look at where food prices are increasing the fastest: cereal and bakery products. Those are made almost exclusively from wheat.
"We don't make ethanol from wheat. There are a few people around the world who do. And wheat prices have been affected by things other than biofuels such as drought in Australia and other global production distortions.
"Some say, 'We're taking land out of wheat and putting it in corn.' That isn't true. The wheat acreage in the United States has increased for the last two years. And if you believe the USDA planting report from a couple of weeks ago, even more is being planted this year.
"As for the price increases in dairy products and eggs, those are due to strong foreign demand. Our exports of those are up significantly and that's driving prices up.
"It's a complex issue and there's a lot more to it than just 'food prices are up because we're making ethanol from corn.'"
That case is being aggressively made…
"You can't pick up a newspaper almost anywhere in the world where food shortages and world hunger are being discussed and not find a reference to the use of corn for ethanol.
"The most significant crop being covered recently is rice. There are problems with the supply and access that has pushed up prices dramatically. There are countries that have put on export restrictions on rice and have regulations against hoarding.
"Well, none of that is due to the use of corn for ethanol. No one makes ethanol from rice. The problems with rice stem from production and distribution issues.
"But critics point to biofuels as a reason for the problems with the rice supply. And people often blindly accept that and say, 'I guess that's right.'
"It's not. And corn is rarely planted on the same ground as rice. It's rare there's competition for land between those crops. Worldwide, rice is primarily a paddy crop. In Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas — where most U.S. rice is grown — rice land isn't usually suitable for corn."
On the different reactions from grain farmers and ranchers to his report…
"Grain farmers — corn, soybean, wheat — understand this. They know the market dynamics. In many respects, they actually transcend basic agricultural factors.
"For example, one global problem is market speculation. There has been a tremendous surge of speculative money in the form of investment in commodity funds and the like. Those represent money coming out of the weak financial and housing sectors and going into hard assets and commodities like grains. That's significantly raised prices.
"We may be looking at a circumstance where roughly a third of the price of corn is due to pressures being driven by the investors. That's the commodity bubble.
"And I'll tell you that, as with every other bubble, this one will burst and there will be a rationalization of prices.
"When I speak with farmers and ranchers in the poultry and livestock industries, they're much more vociferous in their criticism of biofuels. The current situation is certainly driving up their cost of production and creating financial anxiety.
"Now, I'm looking at this from the side of the corn industry. We went through several years where corn prices were around $2 per bushel. At that time, the livestock and poultry industry weren't complaining. They were more than happy to allow the taxpayer to subsidize corn through farm programs and payments because that helped keep their costs down. Now, the shoe is on the other foot and they're justifiably concerned."

Giving two dates calculate the number of years between them.
This seems a trivial problem BUT it is not: you could take the year of each date subtract them and if > 0, then if the month of the second date is smaller than the first, add -1, and if it is equal, check the day. What could possibly go wrong?
First and more important, there are zillions of date formats and some very difficult to parse with RE. Then comes the problem that you would like to see the difference in years forward... and backwards!! and probably you would like to show the years with decimal point, so you need to count days .... and so on, and at some point your script would need to report days and months, that is life!.
This is a task for the industry grade CPAN's DateTime family modules in Perl.
DateTime::Format::xxx is a family of modules specialised in parsing and formatting any date format you can imagine. Then you can calculate things with Date::Calc or DateTime::Duration.
#!/usr/bin/env perl =head1 [progam_name] description: Calculate years between dates (two dates or one date and current time) =head2 First version a file with three columns (id, start date, end date) - parse the date | strptime($strptime_pattern, $string) | Given a pattern and a string this function will return a new DateTime object. | %F | Equivalent to %Y-%m-%d.
