Household Names: Washington Writers and Their Friends
The national fascination with what goes on in Washington is of long standing and shows no sign of going out of fashion. No longer a sleepy Southern town, the District of Columbia and its surrounding suburbs of necessity entertain and beguile a transient community of politicians, consultants, diplomats, journalists, and hangers-on. These newcomers arrive not quite sure of what to expect; they thrive for a little or for longer as their ambition and skills may decide; and they retire, honored or not, into the background against which new stars will, in their turn, seek to shine.
And in retirement, as often as not, they turn to writing their memoirs. Harry Truman, the first of a number of long-lived ex-presidents, more or less established a new tradition of presidential memoirs, and sales of his volumes were such that publishers have little trouble in attracting new authors once they are safely out of office. And lesser Washington lights, too, even without the prospect of huge advances, eagerly offer up for the benefit of all what insights their careers have brought them. Wordsworthians all, they express in a selection of language really used by men those thoughts and ideas that take their origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.
But Washington is an issues town, too, and the tide of literary creation does not always wait for retirement. The Cold War, and especially the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, proved fertile indeed for the creation of books by those in a position to know. Nor were domestic social issues unproductive, as the record fully shows. Nor indeed was any issue on which might be centered the ebb and flow of the political process, for the national desire to know more fully the truth of one's own assumptions or the folly of the other fellow's operates quite independently of substantive basis. Whatever the result in the political arena, these special pleaders, like Shelley, seek to be the unacknowledged legislators of the world.
There is more to literary Washington, of course, than memoirs and issue books; but these are the meat and potatoes of the local literary cuisine, and it is on these that this exhibit focusses. A stray flower of poetry has been included, as have been some minor presidential writings, regardless of subject, largely for the fact that these have been significantly inscribed by their authors. And from these, and the other inscriptions recorded in the catalog, we learn something about the relative density of the local literary community.
The recipients of 70 of the 78 books in the exhibit can be identified. Of these, 20 qualify as "Washington insiders," and they were given 34 of the titles by their proud authors. Another 29 recipients, not nearly so well connected, were given 36 titles; and, admittedly, some few of these were people with Georgetown connections, and one was this library itself. But these are quibbles. The list of recipients is almost as impressive as the list of authors, including such notables as Francis Biddle, Arthur Burns, Champ Clark, William Colby, Daniel Ellsberg, and Harry Hopkins, not to mention media folk like Bill Downs and Neil MacNeil.
No apology need be made for a list of authors that includes nine presidents: Carter, Coolidge, Eisenhower, Ford, Hoover, Kennedy, both Roosevelts, and Truman, as well as three first ladies: Lady Bird Johnson, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Edith Bolling Wilson. Then too, not all of the books were presented by their authors, or solely by their authors, and the list of those who have added their inscriptions to titles written wholly or in large measure by others includes such worthies (besides Eisenhower) as Dean Acheson, Spiro T. Agnew, J. Edgar Hoover, Nelson Rockefeller, and Harry Truman.
The books in this exhibit have, with only a very few exceptions, come to the library since 1970 as gifts, and Georgetown owes a debt of gratitude to all those whose generosity has made the exhibit possible. The careful viewer will find much to delight and to instruct, and hopefully, as Don Whitehead said of Bill and Roz Downs, to provide a solid guarantee against boredom, bombast and bad bourbon.

Sylvie Tremblay, the Manager, Content Delivery and Coproduction Services at the LAC has just announced the following -
"Library and Archives Canada (LAC) is pleased to announce the release of our latest podcast episode: The Shamrock and the Fleur-de-Lys.
In this episode, we consult a panel of experts about the massive immigration of Irish settlers to Quebec in the 1800s. We examine the journey they made in order to establish their new lives on foreign soil, as well as the cultural bond that formed between the Irish and the Québécois.
Subscribe to episodes using RSS or iTunes, or just tune in at: Podcasts – Discover Library and Archives Canada: Your History, Your Documentary Heritage".
I have listened to the podcasts, and have read the transcript, and have found them to be very good.
People are interviewed including Sylvie from the LAC, Jo-Anick Proulx from Parks Canada, and Simon Jolivet, a history professor from the University of Ottawa each with their own knowledge in the area. And you get a good, rounded view of the Irish as they came to Canada – and many of them were sick and died at the Grosse-Île Quarantine Station just beyond Quebec.
It deserves a listen.

Retail remedy, what's better then that, holiday or not?
This entry is part 1 of 1 in the series Venice Window Shopping…
Or, how I spent my summer vacation, Part Uno:
The family and I (pooch included) were lollygagging about in Venice for a bit. In true Italian style– as I know it– everything is beautiful but doesn't necessarily work as expected.
The loft apartment we rented was amazing: Brand new renovation in an Old Venice building with a fab rooftop deck and view, super clean and modern Italian style with attention to every detail, except completion.
Wow, that sounds like our construction projects sans the view!
As the first renters after the total renovation we had the pleasure of experiencing the joys of Italian home repair, which was quite lovely but not what we planned for as part of our vacation! Once the air conditioners (yes, I have been to Italy enough to know that working "climatizzatori d'aria" are key to not schvitzing your petunias off in summer) had their installation completed and the tech genius discovered that the WIFI wasn't working because no one registered it, we were good to go. Only days later we realized that the washer wasn't working because although it was positioned and hidden in the most stylish fashion, some connection to water was necessary for operation. We passed on the plumber.
However, it is a fantastic time to explore the magic of Venice. The 53rd Venice Biennale of Art Exhibition is open in the Giardini and the Arsenale. Expect to spend a good part of a day in each to view some international cutting edge contemporary art installations besides the random installations throughout Venice falling under the Making Worlds theme. The Punta della Dogana Art Museum just opened and it features the not-to-be-missed personal contemporary art collection of Francois Pinault, his PPR group owns Gucci, Yves St. Laurent, Stella McCartney, Puma, Ballenciaga, Alexander McQueen, and more. Of course, you don't want to miss The Peggy Guggenheim Collection which is located in Peggy Guggenheim's former home on the Grand Canal.
There is so much unique and exceptional art in Venice that shopping almost plays second fiddle. Summer sales are starting, early fall is dribbling in. Here's a look at the best of what's in the store windows in Venice, Italy.
Take a look at what I saw for summer fashion…

Bangladesh Fans Want Whatmore To Stay Until 2011 WC
Bangladesh is celebrating their historic success in the World Cup 2007. After defeating India in their World Cup opener, people all over Bangladesh celebrated the Tigers success in jubilant mood. Their celebration reached a peak when Bangladesh defeated Bermuda in the final group match to reach the second stage for the first time in their cricketing history.
Dav Whatmore took the helm of Bangladesh Cricket after their infamous debacle in world cup 2003. In his 4 year tenure with Bangladesh, he completely transformed a losing lowly Bangladesh side into a much competitive cricketing nation. Bangladesh have registered 32 of out their 35 ODI wins under Dav Whatmore.
Like the world media, most of the fans acknowledge that Whatmore is the man behind the resurgence of Bangladesh cricket and want him as Bangladesh coach until the 2011 world cup in which Bangladesh is a co-host. Whatmore's current contract with Bangladesh expires in June.
In a recent survey conducted by Bangla Cricket.com fans online discussion forum, more than 70% of participants want Whatmore to stay until next world cup while about 20% want him for at least another 2 years. This is a clear indication of the current frame of mind of Bangladesh fans.
"Whatmore is doing a good job with the team so far and he has changed the atmosphere of the dressing room. He has earned respect and love among Bangladeshi fans," said Shahriyar Rahman, who lives in Canada and is a passionate follower of Bangladesh cricket.
His voice was echoed by Borhan Zabed, a company executive in Bangladesh: "Dav has got the vision to take Bangladesh a long way. He is in the middle of moulding Bangladesh into a world beating side. We need his service for another 3-4 years to reach the level of top teams".
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is also taking initiatives to keep him after the world cup. "He is doing a fantastic job with Bangladesh. He is in contract with us until June this year and we are in the process to review it. Hopefully he will stay with Bangladesh Cricket," said a top (anonymous) BCB official while talking to a national Daily Shamokal.
Fans are concerned about recent interest from Indian media about Dav Whatmore as India coach. Whatmore was linked to the Indian hot seat before Greg Chappell took charge and Whatmore eventually renewed his contract with Bangladesh in 2005.
"India is desperately looking for a coach to replace Chappell. Whatmore is definitely on their short list. I want BCB to act faster and make arrangements so that Whatmore stays with Bangladesh Cricket", said Raihan Mahmud, a Dhaka University student while celebrating the Bangladesh success with thousands of students. Everyone in the crowd supported him and chanted slogans for Dav Whatmore.
In the current scenario, Whatmore is definitely under the media spotlight but he is concentrating on the rest of the World Cup mission of the Tigers. He is not getting overjoyed by the Super Eight progress and believes the Tigers can produce more surprises in the second round.
World Cup success is nothing new to Whatmore as in his previous world cup mission he guided Sri Lanka to world cup glory. Bangladesh fans believe he can lead Bangladesh to the same glory in 2011 World Cup and desperately want Whatmore to stay with Bangladesh.

Bangladesh Editor
It will be difficult for Bangladesh to keep Dav if BCCI shows real interest. BCB can't do much if BCCI comes with huge bag of money.

In May of last year I wrote a rather long editorial on Sony's decision to go with Blu-ray, wherein I demonstrated that no matter how you slice it, Sony's decision to go with Blu-ray made the console considerably more expensive than it would have been otherwise. I suggested that Sony should have abandoned Blu-ray or, at most, should have made it an add-on, such as the HD-DVD drive for the Xbox 360. The reason is simple: by pushing the console's price into sky-high territory, Sony was stretching themselves dangerously thin.
Almost a year later, it's completely obvious that Sony has stretched itself too thin. As we learned this morning, Sony is now bifurcating their product line even further, delivering a lesser product to the European market in order to save a few bucks. Dumping some of the dedicated hardware for backwards compatibility should save Sony a few greenbacks (or yen, as the case may be), but it screws gamers. And for what? How much cost is Sony saving by scratching this hardware?
There have been several "tear down" estimates for PS3, the best of which comes from iSuppli. They estimate the cost of the Emotion Engine in the PS3 at $27. That's the chief hardware component providing PS2 backwards compatibility. Did Sony just jack with the PS3 over $27? Even if the cost were twice as much, would it be worth it?
With the PS3, Sony has let its video entertainment aspirations dictate the design of a gaming console, and the results are now plain for us to see: when the going gets rough, the gaming functionality gets going (going, gone!) out of the box. Buh-bye. Sure, now Sony will use software to provide some backwards compatibility, but not full compatibility. They've got a stop-gap measure in place, and we're hoping that it works really well because who wants to keep an old PS2 sitting around once you have a PS3?
How many other ways has Sony shown ill-placed deference to their media aspirations? They did add HDMI to the low-end unit a few months before launch, which is great news for non-gaming uses such as watching Blu-ray movies in 1080p. It also increased the price on the low-end unit, of course. Then there's the HD scaler: hard-locked resolutions are more media-oriented than the more gamer-friendly variable resolutions.
If Sony thought of the PS3 as a gaming machine first and foremost, they would have never let this happen. When their vision for the PS3 became one of pushing Blu-ray rather than delivering the top-notch gaming experience they're known for, they went astray. Removing more gaming functionality isn't going to set them on the right path.

The Assistant Inspector General for Policy and Planning coordinates closely with the Inspector General as well as the Assistants for Audit and for Investigations.
Responsibilities include the publication of the Semi-Annual Report, the publication and updating of the five-year Strategic Plan, participation in the Annual Audit Plan, and the USF Strategic Audit Plan. All audit reports are subjected to a high-level quality review to ensure objectivity, consistency, and ease of reading and understanding. FCC risk areas are assessed through the use of surveys and evaluation of Bureau/Office vulnerability assessments.
Additionally, assistance is provided to investigative activities, an internship program, and internal policies and procedures are developed and maintained. The AIG for Policy and Planning also serves as the liaison to the ECIE and as IG Ombudsman.
Semi-Annual Report
The Semi-Annual Report summarizes the activities of that OIG during the six-month periods ending March 31 and September 30. The report is submitted to the Chair no later than April 30 and October 31 of each year. The Chair may comment on the report, but may not change it. Within 30 days of receipt, the Chair submits the IG report to Congress, together with any comments he or she deems appropriate.
Items normally included in the report:
Description of significant problems, abuses, and deficiencies relating to the administration of the FCC's programs and operation.
Audit recommendations for corrective action.
Significant audit recommendations described in previous reports for which the agency has not completed corrective action.
Matters referred to prosecutive authorities and the results of those prosecutions.
Closed investigations.
Statistical tables demonstrating the dollar results of the OIG's internal program audits and contract audits performed during the reporting period.
The report may also include special feature articles concerning relevant topics.
Strategic Plan
The strategic plan discusses major program areas of the agency on which the OIG plans to focus. As these long-term strategies become more defined, they evolve into individual audits included in the section covering planned audits for the coming year. The strategic plan is not a static document, but a dynamic plan that is periodically reevaluated to ensure that OIG responds effectively to the needs of the Congress, the Commission, and the public.
Annual Audit Plan
The annual audit plan is a formal document outlining the audit workload and audit resources for the current fiscal year. Prior to the start of each fiscal year an audit plan is developed based upon the strategic plan, inputs from the Chair, Commissioners, and Bureau/Office Chiefs. It also considers previous audits/investigations and input from external sources such as GAO, OMB, and the Congress.
USF Strategic Audit Plan
The Universal Service Fund (USF) is a significant FCC program for which the OIG has broad audit responsibilities. This strategic plan has been developed to provide overall goals and implementation strategies for oversight of the USF proram.

Being the favorite in a fight is much less enjoyable when you end the bout like Goliath.
That's the way the Chicago Fire exited the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Tuesday night, falling on penalty kicks to the USL Second Division's Charleston Battery after a scoreless 120 minutes at Toyota Park.
The loss, though technically a draw, knocked the club out in the early stages of the tournament for the fourth consecutive season. Having made the cup a club staple when they won the championship in their inaugural 1998 season, the Fire would go on to win three more Open Cup titles in 2000, 2003 and 2006.
More recently, the team has failed to taste the victory experience in the tournament over the first eight years, going 1-3-1 since hoisting the 2006 championship at Toyota Park. Tuesday night's loss marks the second-straight year the Fire have exited in favor of USL-2 opposition at the tournament's third round stage.
While failure is a reasonable word to describe Tuesday's result, remembering circumstance is important.
The Fire returned to league play Sunday, following an 18-day World Cup break, downing the New England Revolution 1-0 in Foxborough, MA. The team added two players to it's roster of injured players when Justin Mapp pulled up lame in warm ups and central midfielder Baggio Husidic needed to be substituted in the game's first half.
Returning to the Toyota Park pitch 49 hours after the league match in Boston, Carlos de los Cobos' was able to dress only 17 players for the Open Cup match as Husdic and Mapp joined Calen Carr, John Thorrington, Collins John and Tim Ward in the physio room. Julio Martinez who was officially released by the club Wednesday was unavailable for selection on Tuesday night.
"My intention Tuesday night was to use the opportunity to play other players," said de los Cobos following Wednesday's training session. "We look at our team and our roster size in MLS is very limiting. Getting some of the players minutes was good for me because seeing the injury problems that have popped up recently, we may need them in upcoming matches."
While the patchwork lineup may be perceived by fans as a new coach failing to understand the club's storied history in the tournament, de los Cobos has a lot of respect for the competition.
"I know that the Open Cup is special to our fans and we went into last night's match with all responsibility, but playing two matches in three days and having to plan for a third match at the end of the week -- it wears on players. We don't have a big roster and we're dealing with a number of injuries right now. A great performance in every tournament we have during our season is difficult."
In regards to the performance, the game certainly wasn't a
thriller, but it was a solid performance from a mixed team of regulars and reserves
that haven't played very much competition together.
"I think the players made a big effort – they tried. We attacked almost the entire match but sometimes results like last night happen, especially in knockout competitions. Soccer is very special in that way – you can control the whole time but not score and lose in penalty kicks. We don't want to lose any game but we move on now and our concentration is on this season's most important tournament – the league. We have the time now to concentrate on MLS and also to work on getting players healthy. I'm satisfied with our players' effort but it is a shame to lose a match like this."
Playing a recently unfamiliar role, Patrick Nyarko was one of three regular starters that entered the match as a substitute. The Ghanaian winger came on at the start of the second half to give life to a game that had been less than thrilling.
"When I came on I tried to penetrate and create in the small openings they left," said Nyarko after Wednesday's training session. "It was tough because they were pretty clogged up the middle. I tried to do my best any time I got the ball to run at their defenders so that they would collapse and so I could pass to the open player. I got in a couple times but I just couldn't pinpoint the easiest pass. I'm still working on my game and as much as it's improved, I always think I can do a bit more."
Charleston did their best to continually frustrate the Fire attack, jamming the middle of the field and taking their time on every restart in order to see precious seconds fall off the clock.
Other than the result, Wilman Conde's second half insertion in the Fire midfield was perhaps the game's most interesting story line. Thirty-seven year old striker Brian McBride entered the match at the beginning of extra time and looked to draw more than one penalty as Battery defenders acted as ornaments, hanging all over the veteran striker for the final 30 minutes.
Though when time for penalties came, McBride's put his effort over the bar, left back Krzysztof Krol's shot was saved by Battery keeper Tim Melia and the Fire's third attempt from Conde went off the cross bar.
"Those games are always the hardest," said Nyarko. "Teams come in here, pack it in and hope to frustrate you. They look to catch you on the counter or take it to penalties and sometimes it works. Credit to them, I think they did a great job. It wasn't that we came in with a different attitude – we came in wanting to win and we didn't get the result. I couldn't sleep [Tuesday night] I was so disappointed with the result, but the day after a game like that we always try to move on quickly to the next match. We can't afford to dwell on the game and I think we've already shaken that off and have begun to prepare for Saturday."
Saturday's match with the Crew will be the third for the Fire in the span of six days. After gaining three valuable road points returning from their World Cup respite, the team will look to start climbing up the Eastern Conference table in what may be the club's most difficult match so far this season.
Nyarko's confident of a result.
"They've been the strong team over the last few years. They're always up there, always getting the results they need and are always scary to play against. I played for Robert Warzycha on the Generation adidas trip, so you know how well coached they are. Hopefully we'll be the team to go in a shock them over there. Despite last night, we still feel pretty confident about ourselves and I'm expecting a good game."

The Daily Create 171 - An object that's hard to find or recognise
I am running out of time before I start packing my suitcases. I am afraid I haven't got time to record a weekly letter, so instead I will just share this week's Daily Create assignments.
Above you can see a toy car that is not really a toy car, but my favourite USB stick.
This creepy crawly critter is what I would be terrified of if I saw it in my bunkhouse:
The Daily Create 172 - Sketch the creepiest crawly critter you can imagine
By the way - to create the web-like lines I used Scribbler 2.
Finally, the sound of summer rain after a long period of very hot weather:

Rossi one of many departures at Caterham
Alexander Rossi is just one of many departures at Caterham this week.
22-year-old Californian Rossi was a test and occasional Friday driver for the Tony Fernandes-founded team, which has been taken over by investors and is now headed by Colin Kolles and Christijan Albers.
Kolles warned immediately that the Leafield based team's 300-strong workforce could be shrunk by a third.
"Sometimes you have to make unpopular decisions," he told Reuters.
Indeed, it is believed many staff members were told on Monday and Tuesday that they are redundant.
Another departure, it became clear on Wednesday, is Rossi, who also drove for Caterham's GP2 team but will now not be in action this weekend at Hockenheim.
"Now it's time to move on," a statement on his Facebook page read on Wednesday.
"My goal is to be in F1 and add value to the sport and I'm very optimistic about my next steps; we have a great opportunity to grow the sport in the States and I believe the timing is perfect," Rossi added.
For the moment, it is believed Caterham's race drivers - Kamui Kobayashi and Marcus Ericsson - are safe at least for the forthcoming Hockenheim-Hungary double header.
But Kolles indicated there could be more changes coming.
"The last driver I sacked out of formula one was Christijan Albers," he said. "And he's my team principal. This should give you a taste of how I deal with people."

CANNES, France - Writing the Prohibition-era bootlegger crime film "Lawless" - his second realized script and largest movie production yet - taught Australian songwriter Nick Cave certain foundational lessons of Hollywood moviemaking.
"I learned that it's a waste of time to graphically kill animals in scripts," Cave says, laughing. "It's going to hit the cutting room floor."
The education and development of Nick Cave, screenwriter, continues with "Lawless," a tale of three bootlegging brothers (Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Jason Clarke) in rural 1920s Virginia. In adapting Matt Bondurant's novel, Cave was predictably moved to include scenes from the book of a pig's slaughter and a dead calf's birth, but had to settle for gangster gunplay and an ominous atmosphere alive with the constant threat of sudden brutality.
The film marks Cave's continuing dalliance with screenwriting, "an extracurricular" activity, he calls it, along with novel and poetry writing. That's in addition to his "No. 1 job" as a musician and frontman of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and the currently dormant Grinderman.
"I became a script writer with absolutely no idea of how to write a script whatsoever," says Cave, who also wrote the 2005 Australian outback Western, "The Proposition." "I still feel a bit of an outsider in that regard. If I can maintain that approach to screenwriting, it can continue to be enjoyable. But as soon as that's gone and I understand the process, I don't think I'll have much interest in writing scripts at all."
Violence has been a rich vein for Cave since he emerged in the 1980s with the London-based punk outfit The Birthday Party. As a theatrical lyricist of spare fables, his gothic songs of death and mean men with a "red right hand" have often carried a murderous gravity and narrative bent.
Like the bloody "Proposition," "Lawless" is another kind of murder ballad for Cave, one populated with colorful characters compelled by primal urges.
"I don't know where that comes from except that it's a particular talent I have to write about that stuff," says Cave, a native of rural Victoria who now lives in Brighton, England, with his wife and twin sons. "Whether that's from being a country boy walking around the ranges with a shotgun as a child and all that sort of stuff, but that was very much what my childhood was like."
Cave spoke in an interview first in May at the Cannes Film Festival, where "Lawless" competed for the Palm d'Or, and again by phone from Los Angeles, where he's recently recorded a new album with the Bad Seeds.
Erudite and droll, Cave, the son of an English teacher and librarian, is an engaging subject whose dry wit captivated Cannes more than the star power of the film's cast, which also includes Guy Pearce and Jessica Chastain.
LaBeouf attached himself to the script early on and stuck with the project through delays due to financing. He remained with it because of Cave's screenplay and the prospect of working with director John Hillcoat, a friend of Cave's who also directed "The Proposition."
"When a man says to you, `I'm planning on making "Goodfellas" in the woods,' it's really hard to get away from that idea," says LaBeouf.
Cave says that the larger size of "Lawless," which the Weinstein Co. is releasing in theaters Friday, "opened my eyes to how film is made," referring to the necessary compromising of a project with many interested parties.
But screenwriting remains a fascinating process for Cave, who says it comes far more natural to him than songwriting. Despite the 54-year-old's decades in music, he calls songwriting torturous.
"Songwriting is something where I have to go into a room on my own and battle it out and squeeze out these songs," says Cave. "It's like giving birth out of the tiniest of apertures. It's painful and it's kind of bloody, whereas writing scripts, I feel like a little boy."
When Cave writes a script, he simultaneously is considering the score. For "Lawless," he wanted to avoid the Americana route, wary of competing with T-Bone Burnett's "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack. Instead, he and Bad Seeds violinist Warren Ellis went for a "raw, punky feel."
The score is thus full of countrified versions of more recent rock songs not typically done that way, most notably bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley singing the Velvet Underground tune "White Light/White Heat." Cave believes the song, which is about methamphetamine use, connects the film's criticism of Prohibition with contemporary anti-drug policy.
Though Cave now finds himself an in-demand screenwriter, he says it reenergizes him for his "bread and butter" occupation.
"Screenwriting is something I use to help keep the process of songwriting alive," he says. "If that's all I was doing, I would have dried up or gone into a real decline years ago with songwriting. I'm always coming back to songwriting. In fact, I'm always running back to songwriting screaming."

A leading food and beverage company, operating in more than 180 countries, was facing anemic growth and lackluster innovation success. They sought BCG's help to reignite their growth engine.
The first steps in their journey were charting a new innovation strategy and building needed innovation capabilities.
Together with the client, the BCG team initially launched an innovation diagnostic. The diagnostic revealed a number of opportunities for improvement. First, the client lacked a common language to enable innovation discussions and guide aspirations. There was no defined innovation strategy. Innovation projects were resourced with little forethought, and the innovation agenda tended toward the needs of the next quarter; longer-term aspirations were sidelined. In consequence, the company focused too many resources on incremental innovation—and far too few on the kinds of investments that would drive breakout growth.
BCG and the client jointly defined a new innovation strategy and portfolio-evaluation framework that categorized innovation initiatives by "type" (e.g., product, package, service) and their "distance from the core" (e.g., line extensions vs. new brands). Together, a plan to enable the organization to bring the strategy to life was developed.
In one module of the work, joint BCG-client teams traveled to the company's major markets to cocreate the new innovation strategy with local innovation teams through a series of in-depth workshops. The objective of these workshops was to enlist the global commercial leadership and identify the innovation portfolio requirements needed to meet long-term business aspirations—and build the client's innovation capabilities. Over the course of these sessions, BCG's role decreased while that of the client's center-led SWAT teams increased to the point that they could run them independently. By the end of the process, the executive leadership and innovation team had defined, built, and owned a new innovation strategy in a matter of a few months. Along the way, they enlisted the organization and charted a new course for innovation.
The strategy served as a basis for a fundamental redesign of the client's innovation system. With new clarity on strategic direction and requirements for success, the joint BCG-client team was able to design resourcing, processes, organizational constructs, incentives, and talent requirements to enable the new innovation ambition. In one module of work, the joint BCG-client team built regional growth centers, each designed to attack a specific domain of breakout innovation opportunity. This process again played out with BCG's role decreasing over time as the client's role increased ultimately to the point where they could operate independently.
As a result of our innovation enablement partnership, the client relaunched its innovation capability, with significant results:

I was thinking of putting a version of The Network mod on the Multiverse when 1.8 comes out. It's a great mod. Pretty much everything works because all that is really involved is copying vanilla code into the mod and updating the custom systems. But it needs two custom missions finished and converted to the new format.
Does anyone have the knowhow and time to do this? Although xephyr has done great work in helping with mission code on the forum and wiki info I don't have the time to learn it ATM.
There is a mission from a Korolov Command Center where you retrieve a weapon from an enemy station and then travel several systems to recover a stargate key.
Also a Black Market mission where you attack and loot some freighters.
Neither is critical but they would add greatly to the mod IMO.

Its mentioned in a lot of articles that in the anime Fu and Han were mentioned to have loathed humanity didn't Deidara say the same in the manga? Ch 266 Page 16 126.96.36.199 (talk) 15:18, January 18, 2012 (UTC)
- He said generally, not specifically about Fū or Han who could have had different relationships with their village. Kishimoto might have an entirely different background story planned for them.--Cerez365™ 15:20, January 18, 2012 (UTC)
- Was it said in the anime about Han and Fu? 18.104.22.168 (talk) 15:22, January 18, 2012 (UTC)
- Deidara used the same words, he said that the captured hosts were hated by their villages. In both the manga and the anime, Shukaku was the third beast to be captured, leaving Utakata, Han and Fū as potential "hated-by-their-village,-glad-they're-dead" hosts. Because the anime made that arc showing Utakata, that makes Han and Fū those already captured hosts. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:44, January 18, 2012 (UTC)
- Ohhh mk. So that I suppose is why it can't be said that Deidara meant Han and Fū because we don't know how Utakata fits into it?--Cerez365™ 17:47, January 18, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if I understood your question. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:00, January 18, 2012 (UTC)
- I was really just stating my understanding of it/rambling I suppose. But I meant that the manga reference can't be made since we don't know canonically when Utakata was captured so he might just be one of the two that were hated.--Cerez365™ 18:04, January 18, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if I understood your question. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:00, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

We all know that the jinchuriki (Yugito, Yagura, Roshi, Han, Utakata, Fu) were revived. Each of them displayed almost full control over their respective tailed beasts while being controlled by Tobi. My question is that the control and abilities they displayed after their resurrection, are those skills really their own? Should these controlled abilities be written in their abilities section ? 184.108.40.206 (talk) 08:48, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
No. That was Tobi. None of them except for Yagura were noted to have that level of control while alive. Skitts (talk) 09:02, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
So should all of that controlled.....control be listed on their character and jinchuriki forms pages? 220.127.116.11 (talk) 09:17, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
I think it is already. If not, it's at least on their Jinchuriki forms page. Skitts (talk) 09:36, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
If its not really their own control then how can we write it in their articles ? 184.108.40.206 (talk) 09:42, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
Those transformations are on their Jincuriki forms page as I thought, since those pages just display all shown forms of that character, circumstances be damned. I would assume they're already in their articles in the Shinobi World War Arc section. It's not like we put it in their abilities section as their own skill or something. Skitts (talk) 11:27, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
If its not their control or skill can they be listed as users of Tailed beast abilities such as Leech Sap? And its noted about their manipulated control on their abilities section, what about that? 220.127.116.11 (talk) 15:36, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
- It is their skill they're jinchuriki. Whether or not they could perform feats like complete transformations without losing themselves is an entirely different story that however, doesn't mean that they aren't the ones performing the feats. All Tobi's doing is telling them to attack and such. I think the respective articles make it obvious enough of the circumstances under which they're using it.--Cerez365™ 15:41, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
Shouldn't the article mention that the soon-to-be Jinchuriki must be compatible in some way to host the beast? Both Chiyo and Killer B's cousin mention this if I remember correctly. Skitts (talk) 04:37, February 29, 2012 (UTC)
We don't know what the compatibility is all about. --Elveonora (talk) 16:19, February 29, 2012 (UTC)
- I didn't say we did, but the opposite in fact. I think that something along the lines of "To host a Tailed Beast, the intended host must be compatible in some way to host the beast" would do just fine. Skitts (talk) 16:23, February 29, 2012 (UTC)
- Huh, I thought this was mentioned already. I'll add it, though I would appreciate someone hunting those references. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:55, February 29, 2012 (UTC)
Shouldn't the trivia be changed from saying that Gaara retained his abilities after death to jinchuriki that are resurrected or reincarnated retain their tailed beast abilities. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 19:01, March 23, 2012 (UTC)
- The jinchuriki resurrected by the Impure World Resurrection had their demons resealed into them. Gaara had his demon removed, got his life back, but kept his demon based powers.--TheUltimate3 ~Keeper of Lore~ 20:27, March 23, 2012 (UTC)
Not to mention Edos retain ALL the abilities they had in life. As stated they also had the actual beasts re-sealed so that's why.--Elveonora (talk) 04:47, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
- Actually we can't say that's true per se for jinchuriki especially since we haven't gotten to see the jinchuriki fight without the beasts.--Cerez365™ 11:55, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
Tailed Beast Shell
Shouldnt we change Partial transformation for jinchuuriki into Tailed Beast Shell since it appears that The jinchuuriki's human body doesnt transform into the beasts on a celluar level. examples- when naruto fought shukaku gaara's body came out of his head showing gaara didnt transform into sand, showing his tailed beast intial form was just a shroud. and how Goku handed naruto roshi's body when he was transformed into him (UubPathnik (talk) 02:51, April 1, 2012 (UTC))
The only thing that change the jinchuuriki make are their initial form (UubPathnik (talk) 03:04, April 1, 2012 (UTC))
Not really, Gaara's case is different and Killer B was shown to transform parts of his own body into that of Eight-Tails. Also the part about Goku, chapter please ? --Elveonora (talk) 15:52, April 1, 2012 (UTC)
In chapter 570 goku drops roshi's body on naruto. and in naruto's 6 tailed form he formed bone structures outside his body, and later killerbee did the same with his lariat (UubPathnik (talk))
That's 2 different things. --Elveonora (talk) 22:35, April 7, 2012 (UTC)
It shows how Naruto and Bee's bones didnt grow. they never grew into their tailed beasts, their chakra shrouds grew into tailed beasts. (UubPathnik (talk) 18:43, April 29, 2012 (UTC)) It would also explain why their clothes were still intact (UubPathnik (talk) 01:19, May 10, 2012 (UTC))
I'm confused. Jinchuriki can transform into their Tailed Beast. And considering once you've gotten to B's level that you can manifest actual parts of the Beast and even change into it's actual body, I don't get where this 'not on a cellular level' junk is coming from. Naruto's most recent power-up was an imperfect one, as Kurama noted, so that can't really be taken as a standard. Skitts (talk) 01:42, May 10, 2012 (UTC)
I'm saying maybe Killerbee manipulated where there chakra shroud would manifest on his body instead of it completely wrapping around him. and had the chakra transform into the Tailed Beast limbs (UubPathnik (talk) 19:38, June 18, 2012 (UTC))
When they use Version 2 and Full Transformation, they really do transform. But they can change the chakra shroud into a physical part of their Tailed Beast.--Elveonora (talk) 20:32, June 18, 2012 (UTC)
Version 2 is the same as the original chakra shroud it's just more in depth, with the addition of the jinchuuriki's blood and more chakra. An example would be like the kid in the Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go with the Green Gorilla (UubPathnik (talk) 01:52, June 19, 2012 (UTC))
No. There are also physical parts of a Tailed Beasts in Version 2 like: bones, fur, horns, tails, claws, wings, arms, ears, carapace etc. You can see clearly it's not just chakra mixed with blood but the hosts themselves partially transformed. Also your "not cellular" theory would be nice if Killber B has not transformed his entire arm into hand/tentacle state. Gaara is using just partial transformations and his "full Shukaku form" is not a full transformation as he isn't mentioned to have a full control over a Tailed Beasts. He just creates a copy of Shukaku's body through transforming sand into physical form just like during partial transformation and then he falls asleep with the technique as when a host is sleeping, Shukaku gains control.--Elveonora (talk) 15:59, June 19, 2012 (UTC)
So their blood cloak could provide the organic material to produce the fur, horn and not their actual bodies except for the basic initial transformation, teeth lengthening, nail groeth, etc. As for Killer bee he is a master of tailed beast control...perhaps he's forming the beast's chakra into specific parts so it appears that an physical change is taking place.(UubPathnik (talk) 17:15, September 16, 2012 (UTC))
"Child affected by a tailed beast while in a womb" The majority takes it as a given that Naruto's face markings (those aren't whiskers, more like birth marks or something) but such thing was never ever hinted upon.
Same goes for Gaara, Gamabunta speculated that the eye lines are due to insomnia. Proven false, or at least not due to it alone as Gaara was born with them, and people took it as a proof of being physically affected or something. Gaara's father the 4th Kazekage had the very exact ones when using his KKG style, was he a Shukaku's host as well? Or don't tell me that he had modeled it like that.
There's too many unknown and no such thing was mentioned in the manga nor databook, unless I'm mistaken... thus a speculation/common assumption--Elveonora (talk) 11:44, August 25, 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think so. The markings on Naruto's face are definitely an influence of the Kurama, we have the Gold and Silver Brothers to bear witness to that. Gaara's case, however, does seem to be entirely different and the markings seem to be genetics, so that should be amended.--Cerez365™(talk) 11:48, August 25, 2012 (UTC)
- Waittt. I've become confused. When was it stated that Shukaku was sealed within Gaara before his birth? The conversation between the Fourth and Chiyo seems to contradict that.--Cerez365™(talk) 11:55, August 25, 2012 (UTC)

We didn't see Kin&Gin's faces before being swallowed by Kurama.--Elveonora (talk) 12:07, August 25, 2012 (UTC)
Ah I found the bit about Gaara, which leads me to believe that Shukaku might have played a role in the permanence of the markings and not them being there themselves because the Fourth's is conditional. True we never saw Kinkaku nor Ginkaku's face prior to their being swallowed but you can't overlook the fact that the only concrete thing the three of them have in common is being influenced by Kurama.--Cerez365™(talk) 12:16, August 25, 2012 (UTC)
And being somehow related to So6p ;) but it's not that, it's okay to have assumptions when they appear logical... just such thing wasn't stated nor even hinted upon by Kishi, so if we went all by our "logical assumptions" then we would have our own version of canon.
I didn't remember people even commenting on Naruto's whisker-like marks, with "oh, he must definitely be the jinchuriky of kyubi" or "he is weird, a child born with whiskers?" just nothing.--Elveonora (talk) 12:23, August 25, 2012 (UTC)
Sage of the Six Paths thing is still up in the air, there are people way more closely related to the Sage and they had no whisker-like markings. And facial markings aren't anything special in the Naruto-verse. There are people walking around with fangs, squares, swirls and curves (one cool Konoha nin has lines running all over her face) and I've yet to hear anyone go "oh he/she's an Inuzuka or Akimichi, look at his face".--Cerez365™(talk) 12:44, August 25, 2012 (UTC)
The difference being those are tattoos/drawings, while Naruto's are a birth mark. Kin&Gin might had them since birth as well, Kishi didn't show their faces prior to the event to keep it ambiguous. We had another Kurama female pregnant host in the history, Mito... with her children unknown, but no mention or comparison about whisker markings ever given. So if Kishi bothers to one day reveal Mito and Hashirama's children, and they have fox whiskers... I will eat this. Now it's a baseless assumption and trying to apply genetics or what shit to naruto-verse. There's no indication of Naruto being affected by Kurama's chakra before birth... it's chakra is (or better say was and now it's all my little pony) poisonous, he would have died right away.--Elveonora (talk) 18:48, August 25, 2012 (UTC)
version 1?
When was the chakra cloak called version 1? (EASTFIRE)--18.104.22.168 (talk) 13:35, August 27, 2012 (UTC)
since that more advanced cloak is version 2 , the standard is by logic version 1?--Elveonora (talk) 14:16, August 27, 2012 (UTC)
Yes and no , although it could mean that it is called version 1. it could also mean that it has a name and killer bee didnt bother mention it , so he simply called it the version 2 of a term that we dont know about . that and its never been called like that in the manga .
( Eastfire ) --220.127.116.11 (talk) 16:27, August 28, 2012 (UTC)
B calling it version 2 made the pages much easier to organise, since we would create a section for each tailed state, and then we saw two versions with the same number of tails. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:17, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
- Technically we're not going off "nothing" I believe it was referenced during the fight between B and Kisame after Samehada had absorbed his chakra in Version 2.--Cerez365™(talk) 00:48, August 29, 2012 (UTC)

Jiraiya referred to it as "demon fox cloak" to Kakashi in early part two. Removing the "demox fox" which applies only to Kurama leaves us only with cloak, which can apply to either form. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:53, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
Sorry for the late reply , yes I can see your view, but I think we have another name that is the ( Nine tails chakra mode )this could be the name of the cloak and the bijuu shaped cloak is the second version of it.

So?--—This unsigned comment was made by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs) .
Anime has no bearing here...
- Version 1- see-through shroud; was referenced by Sabu during the Kisame fight and used out of convenience here
- Version 2- opaque shroud; called so directly
- Nine-Tails Chakra Mode- Naruto uses Kurama's chakra sans Kurama (the latter part may no longer hold true)
- Tailed Beast Mode- chapter title and if memory serves me correctly they've called it such in chapter. Here Naruto + Kurama are working together. So it wouldn't be called NTCM version 2, because it has a name.--Cerez365™(talk) 20:17, September 7, 2012 (UTC)
Are you sure that sabu used this term ? (Eastfire)--18.104.22.168 (talk) 20:33, September 16, 2012 (UTC)
Menma must be mentioned somewhere in the article, mustn't he? In similar cases probably.
SatoriIn the Similar cases section, shouldn't Muku and Satori be a similar case, since people are able to become the host of Satori and gain it's abilities by going inside the box? Jinchuriki are the host of their tailed beast and also gain their abilities.

Depends on your definition of perfect? Unkillable with godlike power? Honestly I'd like to bring up the contradiction between what Madara said about Edo Tensei being able to act as Jinchuuriki and Minato's appearance as just that despite that statement. I only bring it up because it appears in the Trivia section with a note about Obito being able to do it with the others because of the Chakra Receivers. One could speculate a difference because of the Shinigami being involved, but if Minato is considered a Jinchuuriki for having fully half of Kurama then Madara's statement seems to have been a plot hole or an assumption on his part. Should this be changed in the article?--845933 (talk) 16:55, September 29, 2014 (UTC)
Is Obito a perfect jinchūriki?
Should we consider him one? He can fully manifest the God Tree form of the Ten-Tails and still retain full control of himself.JOA20 (talk) 20:15, September 10, 2013 (UTC)
Manga images
Ive said the same thing about the Biju, do the Jinchuriki really need manga and anime images in their infoboxes? I think all 6 of them pretty much are portrayed the same in both mediums. (Fu has slightly darker skin, but its not really much of a notable change, and Utakata seems to have slightly more narrow eyes in the manga, but that's really no excuse.) Previously some didnt have very good anime images (Han especially >_<), but now i think we have quite a few great shots.--RexGodwin (talk) 00:46, September 14, 2013 (UTC)
Shukaku's Jinchūrikis
In the article there are 4 Jinchūrikis mentioned for the Shukaku, and the reference for it is Chapter 261 page 5. I looked that up at manga panda & manga stream, and what was stated is "INCLUDING Gaara, in the history of the Sand,three Jinchūriki have appeared so far". So, What I understood is all of them together are 3 people, rather than being 3 Jinchūriki before Gaara because as you may see she said "INCLUDING GAARA" Therefore, I think the second unnamed Jinchūriki should be removed, no?

OK, so the article says, "A full-term pregnancy for a female jinchūriki is about ten months.[22]" We're forgetting one thing. This is a Japanese manga. Pregnancies in Japan are usually measured in terms of lunar months. The normal pregnancy is traditionally considered to be TEN months because of this. We should at least clarify that or something because the article makes it seem like Jinchuriki have abnormal pregnancies. --Narutodude (talk) 20:30, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
- Except if it weren't something unique to a pregnant jinchuuriki, he wouldn't have mentioned the jinchuuriki part at all and would have rather said: "A full-term pregnancy for a female is about ten months"--Elveonora (talk) 20:52, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
please reconsider
Do you honestly believe that Naruto is a full jinch of all 9 TBs? This doesn't let me sleep, as silly as it may sound. I say your reasoning is flawed. So "your" argument is that:
- a pseudo is someone with a TBs' power but no consciousness of it
- a full jinch also has consciousness
That doesn't make any sense. The Kushina and Minato in Naruto weren't the real ones, but they were according to your logic because they had consciousness. Shadow Clones are also conscious, proves chakra can be conscious, but that doesn't make the Shadow Clones actual Narutos.
A "pseudo" means something only appears to be, but is false. Let's look at the definition of a jinchuuriki. A jinchuuriki is someone who has a Tailed Beast sealed into him/her using fuuinjutsu. When the beast is unsealed, the jinchuuriki dies. Naruto received 6 chakras of the Tailed Beasts through fist bumping, not a fuuinjutsu. Naruto won't die if the gifted chakras are taken away, means that he isn't jinchuuriki of 1-8 Tailed Beasts, but a pseudo. The real Tailed Beasts are inside of Gedo Mazo which is inside of Madara. Counter-argument?--Elveonora (talk) 21:53, May 17, 2014 (UTC)
- Was this because of my comment on the Talk:Shinju page regarding me saying Naruto is the jinchuuriki of Yin Kurama and the pseudo-jinchuuriki of the other 8? WindStar7125 (talk) 21:57, May 17, 2014 (UTC) WindStar7125
- No, I agree that he is pseudo of the 8, but the sysops went all "my word rules" when the chapter came out and he is currently listed as a jinchuuriki of all 9 Tailed Beasts--Elveonora (talk) 21:59, May 17, 2014 (UTC)
- There isn't much to reconsider. The conversation is based on the past one we had with Minato's status. He was considered a pseudo-jinchuriki up until he had a conversation with his Kurama. Unless you come up with a very plausable reason as to why we should consider Minato a jinchuriki of a talking Kurama, but not Naruto with a talking everything else then yeah. "My Word Rules" apply so to speak.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 22:53, May 17, 2014 (UTC)

Except that isn't even remotely similar. Kuramas are an unique case until proven otherwise, there's no evidence that you get two or an indefinite amount of Tailed Beasts by splitting one's chakra, otherwise the whole alliance would be jinchuurikis. Minato is a jinchuuriki because the Kurama in him was as much Kurama as the other one. It can produce more chakra, die and so on. Can the 1-8 pieces in Naruto do that?--Elveonora (talk) 00:18, May 18, 2014 (UTC)
Actually it is similar in it's own way because the tailed beast are noted as being sentient masses of chakra so any part of them with consciousness can be said to be them in full. The difference between this and Shadow Clone is that they apparently are fully able to 'be' in both places as Hagaromo makes a point of referring to Naruto as a meeting ground for the 9 bijuu now like when they fist bumped, even though they seem to be fully separate now. The other big difference is that Naruto DID receive a large portion of more than one tailed beast chakra when Obito tore some away from Madara to revive him. The current tailed beast are a combination of chakra stolen back from Naruto by Kaguya and the chakra Kaguya herself had in her. So the speculation is on who had more of what, since there isn't a way of knowing how much of her chakra came from the Infinite Tsukiyomi.--845933 (talk) 16:47, September 29, 2014 (UTC)
Obito as Shukaku and Gyūki's Jinchūriki
He only had portions of their chakra, he didn't have the beasts themselves. --OmegaRasengan (talk) 02:28, July 31, 2014 (UTC)
- The same "enlightened" reasoning as Naruto being their jinchuuriki. Obito gave him the chakras and since for some weird reason people consider Naruto to be jinchuuriki of all other Tailed Beasts as well besides Kurama, so is Obito of those he gave Naruto, cause "logic"--Elveonora (talk) 13:35, July 31, 2014 (UTC)
- The logic behind it was that when the tailed beast chakra inside Naruto started talking they counted towards jinchuriki status as per Minato. They did nothing of the sort in Obito, so I would be just as willing to remove them from his article as much as I am willing to keep them in.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 13:39, July 31, 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, because talking chakra absolutely makes it the original. Shadow Clones talk, too and so did fragments of chakra belonging to Minato and Kushina inside of Naruto's butt.

- Then provide input instead of sarcasm. --OmegaRasengan (talk) 15:46, July 31, 2014 (UTC)
I provided input a hundred times by now that both Obito and Naruto should be removed as hosts of the Tailed Beasts. A jinchuuriki is someone who has had a Tailed Beast sealed into himself/herself. Naruto was given just some chakra of 2-7 Tailed Beasts through fistbump and later Obito sealed into into him Shukaki and Gyuki's chakras and Yin Kurama.--Elveonora (talk) 16:26, July 31, 2014 (UTC)
Killer B's Jinchūriki status
B survived his tailed beast extraction by having at least 1 tentacles worth of Gyūki's chakra in his possession, and this wiki defines a pseudo-jinchūriki as a "person who possesses the tailed beast's chakra but not the beast itself". So am i right in saying B is currently a pseudo-jinchūriki? --Sarutobii2 (talk) 16:05, October 31, 2014 (UTC)

- @Sarutobii2: No clue actually. We don't know if that 1 tentacle worth of Gyuki's chakra is sentient or not, and that appears to be what separates pseudo-jinchuriki from full jinchuriki.
- @Elvenora: While true, it is the closest we got to whatever the hell the non-jinchuriki but have tailed beast chakra in them anyway. We work with what we got.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 16:09, October 31, 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah the whole matter is really unclear but on a similar note, in the anime Kabuto put some of Gyūki's chakra into Fukai after being reincarnated, so would that classify him as a pseudo-jinchūriki? --Sarutobii2 (talk) 16:17, October 31, 2014 (UTC)

Annual Manual errata, omitta
Not everyone found the Annual Manual totally delightful. Indeed, alert readers spotted several omissions.
Like Blue Ridge Internetworks (817-0707) from the list of Internet providers– particularly embarrassing because they're our provider!
And how could we forget the Senior Center Inc. (974-7756) with its over 80 programs and services, from tap dancing to computer instruction? Somehow our sports list omitted the local YMCA, which serves more than 6,000 kids a year with basketball, wrestling, soccer, cheerleading, youth leadership training, judo, and a year-round swim team. And, how could we have forgotten the Sexual Assault Resource Agency, which helps survivors and works to end sexual attacks? 295-7273
Then there are the Lions Clubs. While we mentioned a few, alert reader Bert Colley points out that we left out a whopping five more of these humanitarian service orgs: Charlottesville Host Lions Club (977-6211), the Charlottesville Lioness Lions Club (973-5000), the Thomas Jefferson Lions Club (973-6213), the Crozet Lions Club (823-8811), and the Lions of Nelson (277-9018).
Another alert reader, Jim Hingeley, says he liked our Lynchburg day trip, "but alas your day-trippers won't be able to catch a show yet at the Academy of Music. Like the Paramount, it's still undergoing renovation, and the opening date remains uncertain. Also, it's now the Academy of Fine Arts, after its merger with the Lynchburg Fine Arts Center, which is about to be torn down for a hospital parking lot."
Hingeley also set us straight on the role of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court which does not hear divorce cases. "It seems like it should," writes Hingeley, "but the jurisdictional lines are a little quirky in Virginia. Divorces are heard in circuit court."
In our economy section, we listed the area's top employers. But boy did we sing a sour note by excluding Crozet-based Musictoday, which now boasts 230 employees.

McCain's VirilityEdit
Senator McCain may be a very old man, but he still has what it takes to charm the ladies!
Naturally, no legitimate news outfit is running the story, but the liberal media, lead by The New York Times, has speculated that the relationship is non-sexual, claiming that Mr. McCain is not as uncorrupted as he says he is on his Straight Talk Express.
Come on, liberals! He said it aboard the Straight Talk Express!!! Why don't you just believe him?
In addition, McCain hired a wingman as Chief of Staff, Mark Buse. Mr. Buse's heterosexuality is without question!
McCain's Heroism Against His Gook Captors In Communist KoreaEdit
See full article: Feats of Heroism
When John McCain returned from Vietnam after 5 1/2 years without health care, he returned alone.
His wife was so vain and power hungry that she was busily having an affair with some young buck, heir of a brewer that he was forced to divorce her.
His shame about his first marriage haunts him to this day, that he does not discuss it with reporters, even off the record.
Arianna Huffington said Iraq is McCain's Viagra. Stephen said the warning on the bottle would be: If your erection lasts for more than 100 years, pull out.Episode #394

Some Of His Best Friends Are Gooks!Edit

McCain Policy ProposalsEdit
McCain's Environmental LovingEdit
John McCain is the biggest environmentalist of the GOP candidates. This is mainly because he bought into the liberal propaganda that ANWR is a pristine wilderness, rather than the barren wasteland everyone knows it to be. He was against offshore oil drilling. Luckily he is slowly getting rid of Liberal propaganda, mainly by supporting offshore drilling, because he was proving a point that he is immune to permanent brainwash. This however pissed off the liberals, so their idol Barack Obama was sent to attack him along with the America-hating NBC. McCain however laughed at them and kept slowly going away from being an environmentalist. But since he still doesn't support drilling for oil in ANWR he is still one of the biggest environmentalist of the GOP.
Foreign Relations CredEdit
- McCain, or El Maverickoso, as he is known in Mexico, related his expertise in this area directly to the unAmerican paper without so much as a minor faux pas (that's French!) or an interpreter!
He even spoke their language!
Now, all the other Spanish-language papers want a piece of him, too! Someone in McCain's staff have leaked the possibility that Esteban Colberto will be hired to help the campaign with all the calls!
McCain's Inspirational Speech at the RNCEdit
- Rumor has it that there were many teary eyes at the convention that day. So we assume that McCain's speech moved the hearts of many Real Americans. We still have not review the video yet, but we assume McCain will remember that night for many years to come...
McCain's Inspirational LeadershipEdit
McCain Wives Edit
John McCain has only one wife (he's not some freak) although he was married once before to someone that became crippled, fat and ugly so....like all good Republicans he cheated on her with a skinny rich blond hussy that trapped him into divorcing his first wife so he could take her all the way to the White House.....on a public tour.
Cindy does not go out in public looking like a trollop.
She supports her husband, in strict adherence to America's Bible, laws and customs.
Despite this, Wikiality.com has given Mrs. McCain her own tube.
Cindy is the most honest woman on earth. She would never tell a lie....except about her age to John when they first met, to better trap the man she was hunting.

The Great Liberal High Crime Against McCain Edit
In March 2007, the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy used their Satanic powers to inflict damage on McCain's MySpace profile.[1] Although the liberals claimed that no laws were broken in the process, but as any Real American knows, the liberals have broken the highest law of all — the law against treason.
Allegations Of Public Temper LossesEdit
McCain has always been a cool customer. He has never lost his temper, not even when he spent five years at the hands of his gook captors. Hell, he's so calm and colected, he's even forgiven them!

The liberals have accused Mr. McCain of losing his temper in reaction to:
- bright lights
- women pointing out that he has a combover
- clouds
- kids on his lawn
- his black child

Famous Quotes by McCainEdit
- "...job loss, failing schools, prohibitively expensive health care, pensions at risk, entitlement programs approaching bankruptcy, rising gas and food prices, to name a few. But your government often acts as if it is completely unaware of the changes and hardships in your lives. And when government does take notice, often it only makes matters worse."
"....get out of my house! That isn't even my mirror, you obese pill-lady! Let's have a nine sock from the horse stables, one two three!!!"
