- Keep in mind that these policies are ultimately guidelines. If it's found that a policy restricts something that the reason the policy was created didn't intend to restrict, then the policy should be changed.
This is the policy for the naming of Naruto articles, characters, places, skills, and techniques.
General notes
There are some important notes in the naming policy that apply to all categories of names rather than just a specific group.
Narutopedia uses Revised Hepburn for the romanization of kanji, like Wikipedia does (to some extent; They have their own tweaks to that system but it's primarily revised hepburn).
The primary point here is that fandubs and scanalations commonly use Wāpuro rōmaji. In addition to that the net has a bad habit of spreading bad translations around enough that people begin to believe they are the official only way to write something. So the net is a bad place to hunt down the proper rōmaji to use for a character's name.
The most relevant point here is the difference in treatment of long vowels. In wāpuro the long o and u vowels are written using an extra u, so long o would be ou and long u would be uu. However in revised hepburn they are represented using macrons, long o being ō and long u being ū. This means that some names like Chōji, Hyūga, and Jūgo are mistakenly entered into the wiki as Chouji, Hyuuga, and Juugo by newer editors.
For the most part if you see a uu, or ou used on the wiki it's a mistake that can be cleaned up. Read the rest of the policy to understand what form of the name you should clean that up to.
Italics and Macrons
On the wiki we use italics in some locations to indicate that the written form of a term we are using is in Japanese (commonly rōmaji) rather than English. And we also use the macrons inside of rōmaji to give a pronunciation guide to the reader. However for ease of editing we only require these in certain locations, as it would be a strain to write articles and reformat them when names change if we were to use the stylization everywhere.
Basically, we use italics and macrons in any unique location, ie: one that isn't repeated and bears some significance to the reader. Basically it boils down to:
- Macrons are not used in the English forms of words (The English translation Hyuga uses no macrons, but the rōmaji Hyūga does use macrons)
- Macrons and Italics are used inside of the {{translation}} template.
- The translation template is primarily only used at the top of the article on a topic. In that location the primary name in the first parameter is normally bolded.
- The third parameter to the translation template (the romaji parameter) already contains code to italicise the romaji so 's aren't needed there, but if you are using rōmaji in the main parameter 's are needed to italicise it.
- Macrons are used in the romaji parameter for infoboxes. However italics are not since the infobox adds those automatically.
- However macrons and italics are not used in the repeat occurrences of names inside of articles or links.
Use of names
In articles we refer to the character by a single primary name, aliases are not used unless relevant to the context of the paragraph. (ie: We use Minato Namikaze unless specifically refering to him as the Hokage).
We also list all the versions of a name. English, Kanji, Romaji, and aliases are listed in their article, and all of those, as well as some misspellings or shortened names are redirected.
For reference the following paragraphs will refer to certain terms:
- Primary name
- The name primarily used for a character. This name is used as the page title for that character, listed in bold in the first parameter in the {{translation}} template used at the start of that character's page, inside the name parameter (header) of the infobox, and is also used throughout the wiki to refer to the character.
Primary names should use the character's name from the English Anime Dub.
- (Might Guy not Maito Gai)
- (Chōji Akimichi not Akimichi Chōji)
When a character has not yet appeared in the English dub then the Official name listed in the latest version of the databook should be used as the primary name.
- (Pain not Pein)
When a character has not appeared in the dub or been listed in a databook, then Japanese romaji for their name is used for the primary name.
- (Kushina Uzumaki not Uzumaki Kushina)
When a character has an alias their real name is used as the primary name. However if relevant to the context the alias my be used in a section of an article (such as using Tobi instead of Madara Uchiha when talking about him in the context of Akatsuki)
- (Obito Uchiha not Tobi)
- (Minato Namikaze not Fourth Hokage)
Locations are named as followed:
- Hidden Villages will be left untranslated, though partially altered. For example Konohagakure is listed as such instead of Konohagakure no Sato.
- Other locations are translated to their literal English equivalent. For example "Shūmatsu no Tani" is translated as "Valley of the End".
For both of these standards, the name, kanji, romaji, and English TV are to be listed with the {{translation}} template at the beginning of the page.
Jutsu Names
Jutsus are listed using the literal translation of the Kanji for their name. Even if a jutsu has been used in the English series it's name is not used.
Do note that the jutsu name discussion has not been finalised in respect to a few special cases;
Editors are welcome to reopen the discussion on these topics.
General Terms
- Terms not unique to the series (shuriken, smoke bombs, ect) are translated only if they are either not well-known or usually translated.
- Unique terms to the series (Tailed Beasts, Nature Transformations, ect) are translated.
- Ninja ranks are left untranslated.

Tomorrow, a state Senate committee will consider a bill to legalize and tax Internet poker. As legislators scramble for funds, this bill is starting to get more attention.
At Prop Zero, we expressed some skepticism about the subject recently. But Barry Fadem, a veteran election attorney (who had a key role in the initiative that established the state lottery), is on the case.
Fadem argues that since an estimated two million Californians are playing video poker anyway -- that's more than 1 in 20 (which isn't that much lower than the percentage of Californians who voted in this month's elections) -- the state should regulate the games and take a cut of the revenue.

In mid-2008, I was playing with some SEO strategies and created a blog that received 41,457 visitors from search engines in its first 8 days online.
The crazy thing is – this simple strategy took literally 2 minutes to apply…
If you knew a strategy that could increase the traffic to your blog posts and web-pages, and give you more value from backlinks, would it be worth your time spending a few extra moments applying that strategy – for every blog post and web-page you create?
Absolutely – yes!
I want to share with you a simple strategy that you can use to get more traffic to your web-site, better search engine rankings AND better keyword-value out of your links:
You'll love this technique if you're posting content to a blog, if you're social bookmarking sites, doing just about any sort of link submission – or even choosing keywords for meta tags – because of what it does for your site…
Firstly, by mentioning additional (relevant) keywords on your web-page, you increase the NUMBER of keywords that your site can rank well for.
Secondly, by mentioning similar relevant keywords on your web-page, you increase the RELEVANCE of your page around your tight-knit group of relevant keywords.
Thirdly, by tagging blog posts and YouTube videos with relevant tags, your content is much more likely to be picked up by a broader number of sites.
And finally – by tagging social bookmarking links with relevant keywords, and having lists of relevant keywords in directory submission keyword lists, you increase the value of those links by increasing their relevance.
And the reason is simple…
By mentioning related keywords, your links and web-pages can seen to be more relevant to that topic.
After I first started my own personal blog, this was the FIRST strategy that I applied that substantially increased the number of visitors that my blog received.
And hopefully it will help you too.
P.S. – Not all sites will get 41,457 visitors in their first week online
To be fair (and open) the reason I received so many visitors was because I had deliberately targeted a low-competition, newsworthy keyword.

Okay, so we left rather early today to take Sacha and Kiyah to the park...our plan was to take 2 dogs, bring them home, pick up another 2 dogs, and so on. We ended up with an adventure instead...We decided to grab something to eat while we were out...anyway, we were driving down a normally very busy road (that was barely cleared) and we saw 2 dogs (with collars) running down the middle of the road...well, they were guaranteed to get hit...they were, literally, going in and out of traffic. So, we tried to call them to us, but they wouldn't come. Greg followed behind them with his hazards on (so that no one would hit them)...we had Sacha with us, so my idea was to try to draw them to us using her. Greg got in front of them...we hopped out of the car...grabbed Sacha...and the two dogs ran right to her! Well, we grabbed them, loaded them in Greg's backseat, and, luckily, one was wearing a tag with her name (Stella), and it had a phone number...well, neither of us had our phones with us...so, we drove back home, and called the owner...no answer...but they were chipped...we called HomeAgain, and they called the owner. Again, no answer. I did a reverse look-up on their phone number,and we got an address...around the same time - they called us...Anyway, we dropped their dogs off, and they were so HAPPY!
Well, it took us a while, but we finally got Kiyah and Sacha to play in the snow...notice how deep it is (nearly covering Sacha)....unfortunately, by the time we got there, it was too late to take the other dogs up...but it was worth getting those 2 dogs back to their home!
Anyway, these are the pics I got of Kiyah, Sacha, and Greg playing in the snow:

Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy in Diabetes Mellitus
Agashe S, Petak S. Cardiac autonomic neuropathy in diabetes mellitus. Methodist DeBakey Cardiovasc J. 2018;14(4):251-256.
Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a severely debilitating yet underdiagnosed condition in patients with diabetes. The prevalence can range from 2.5% (based on the primary prevention cohort in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial) to as high as 90% of patients with type 1 diabetes. Clinical manifestations range from orthostasis to myocardial infarction. The diagnosis is made using multiple autonomic function tests to assess both sympathetic and parasympathetic function. The pathophysiology of CAN is complex, likely multifactorial, and not completely understood. Treatment is limited to symptomatic control of orthostatic hypotension, which is a late complication, and current strategies to reverse CAN are limited. This review explores the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and complications of CAN as well as current treatment options.Keywords

Diabetes-associated cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) damages autonomic nerve fibers that innervate the heart and blood vessels, in turn causing abnormalities in heart rate and vascular dynamics. It is known to affect multiple organ systems and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes.1-3 The CAN Subcommittee of Toronto Consensus Panel on Diabetic Neuropathy defines CAN as an "impairment of cardiovascular autonomic control in patients with established diabetes after excluding other causes."1,4 Significantly underdiagnosed, CAN exhibits multiple clinical manifestations, such as orthostasis, resting tachycardia, exercise intolerance, silent myocardial infarction, and intraoperative cardiovascular liability. It is a severely debilitating complication that often decreases survival in patients with diabetes.1,5 This review discusses the latest evidence regarding the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and complications of CAN as well as current treatment options.
The prevalence of CAN is variable based on published studies and ranges from 2% to 91% in type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and 25% to 75% in type 2 diabetes (T2DM).1,6 This significant variability can likely be attributed to the lack of a uniform diagnostic criteria as well as underdiagnoses in the typical hospital setting.1,7 Based on the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT)/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) study, the prevalence of CAN in T1DM after 15 years was close to 60%.1,2,5,8 Although CAN is associated with a longer duration of disease, some studies suggest that it may be present in patients with newly diagnosed diabetes as well, although the percentage is significantly lower.1,2,5
The CAN Subcommittee of Toronto Consensus Panel on Diabetic Neuropathy recommends that patients with T2DM be screened for CAN at the time of diagnosis and those with T1DM within 5 years of their diagnosis, especially in patients exhibiting multiple risk factors, such as poor glycemic control, smoking, hypertension, or dyslipidemia. The Panel also recommends that screening be part of a perioperative risk assessment in patients with coronary artery disease. Some studies suggest that CAN may be seen in prediabetes as well; however, the prevalence and association have not been well studied.1,2,5,6 Similarly, guidelines from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommend that diabetic patients displaying common CAN symptoms—such as lightheadedness, weakness, palpitations, and syncope that occurs on standing—undergo further assessment to rule out causes other than CAN, especially if they have microvascular/neuropathic complications or hypoglycemia unawareness.1,5,9,10
According to Pop-Busui et al., diabetes-related CAN results from complex interactions between glycemic control, duration of disease, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and aging-related neuronal death.9 Hyperglycemia is thought to be a primary culprit, spurring a cascade of multiple complex mechanisms and pathways that induce oxidative stress and toxic glycosylation products—ultimately resulting in neuronal dysfunction and death (Figure 1).1,2,9 Hyperglycemia increases mitochondrial production of free reactive oxygen species, thereby causing oxidative damage to the microvasculature supplying these peripheral nerves.6,9,11
However, the full pathogenesis of CAN is not clearly understood since the mechanisms involved in its development have only been studied in somatic models and extrapolated to the autonomic nervous system.1 In the 2003 Steno-2 trial involving multifactorial intervention, strict glycemic control and lifestyle changes in T2DM reduced the development of autonomic neuropathy but did not significantly affect somatic neuropathy progression.1,6 Diabetes triggers multiple reactions that promote neuropathic changes, such as advanced glycosylation end products from glycation of proteins, activation of poly(ADP ribose) polymerase reductase pathways, direct DNA damage, negative effects on neuronal regeneration and repair, reduced neurotransmitter release and synapse function, altered Na/K/ATPase pump, and damage to endoplasmic reticulum that activates apoptotic pathways.1,5,9,11 Microvascular changes of diabetes, including retinopathy and albuminuria, are associated with progression of CAN based on the results from the EURODIAB study.12 Increased production of cytokines such as interleukin 6, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and C-reactive protein, as well as inflammation in general, are known to be associated with CAN.1,5,8 In addition, underlying genetic susceptibility, obstructive sleep apnea, lower C peptide levels, and autoimmune antibodies may also be associated with CAN.1,13
Just like the somatic neuropathies, diabetes affects autonomic nerves in a length-dependent fashion.5,9 As a result, CAN often first manifests in the vagus nerve, the body's longest parasympathetic autonomic nerve and the one responsible for almost three-quarters of parasympathetic activity; damage to the vagus nerve causes resting tachycardia and an overall decrease in parasympathetic tone.5 In the later stages of CAN, sympathetic denervation occurs, starting from the apex of the ventricles to the base of the heart.9
Diagnostic assessment of CAN should involve testing of both sympathetic and vagal function. The gold standard of tests, known as cardiac autonomic reflex tests (CARTs), are based on heart rate, blood pressure, and sudomotor responses and were discovered by Ewing et al. in the 1970s (Table 1).1,5,9,14 CARTs involve measuring autonomic responses through changes in heart rate (HR) variability and blood pressure (BP) with various maneuvers. Sympathetic function is assessed by BP response to postural changes, the Valsalva maneuver, and sustained isometric muscular strain (i.e., the sustained hand grip test).1,5,14 Parasympathetic function is assessed by HR response to deep breathing, changes in posture (i.e., lying to standing), and the Valsalva maneuver.1,5 These tests of cardiovagal and adrenergic function have higher supportive evidence than sudomotor testing.1,5,14
In the autonomic reflex tests, the HR response to respiration is measured as the expiration to inspiration (E:I) ratio, which measures beat to beat sinus arrhythmia (R-R variation) during paced deep expiration and inspiration. Heart rate is measured via electrocardiogram with the patient in the supine position and breathing at 6 breaths per minute (bpm); a difference of > 15 bpm is considered normal. Heart rate response to standing is known as the 30:15 ratio and usually consists of an initial increase and then decrease in HR.5,14 In this test, the R-R interval is measured at 15 beats and 30 beats after standing, with the normal value > 1.03.1,3,5 Heart rate response to Valsalva involves an initial increase in HR followed by an excessive decrease in HR, and the normal ratio of longest to shortest R-R interval is > 1.2.5,6,14 These tests can be easier and more informative when the HR variability is tested using time or frequency domain measurements with digital modalities and statistical analysis.1,5,15 Sympathetic function is assessed by noting changes in systolic BP in the supine position and again after standing for 2 minutes, with normal being a fall of < 10 mm Hg.5,6 Sympathetic function can also be gauged by measuring diastolic BP response to isometric exercise using a handgrip dynamometer; BP normally increases on the contralateral side by > 16 mm Hg.5,14
In terms of other types of testing, positron emission tomography with either [123I]meta–iodobenzylguanidine or [11C]-meta-hydroxy-ephedrine can quantify the adrenergic innervation of the heart.5,9 Holter monitoring can be used to estimate sinus cycle changes after premature ventricular complexes, and baroreflex sensitivity testing after intravenous phenylephrine bolus can assess both adrenergic and vagal responses.1,5,6 Microneurography that identifies sympathetic burst activity primarily in the peroneal nerve is useful as a direct measure of peripheral sympathetic function.16 Sudomotor dysfunction, one of the earliest signs of autonomic nervous system impairment, can be assessed with a variety of tests, including the thermoregulatory sweat test (TST), quantitative sudomotor axon reflex test (QSART), sympathetic skin response (SSR), and Silastic sweat imprint test.1,15 It is important to note, however, that CARTs remain the gold standard, and these other tests are not routinely used except in more specialized centers.1,5 Even so, the American Academy of Neurology guidelines on testing of autonomic dysfunction note that, in the hospital setting, other comorbidities such as volume status, medications, and end organ failure may limit or change how tests may be interpreted.5,17
Based on diagnostic testing, CAN can be classified into three categories: (1) "early involvement" with one abnormal HR test or two borderline results; (2) "definite involvement" with two or more abnormal results; and (3) "severe involvement" when orthostatic hypotension is present.5,6,18 CAN is also divided into two stages: subclinical and clinical. The classification of subclinical CAN is based on changes in HR variability, baroreflex sensitivity, and cardiac imaging showing increased torsion of the left ventricle without any significant changes on standard CARTs discussed above.4,19 The clinical stage is diagnosed when sympathetic activity is predominant and symptoms such as decreased exercise tolerance and resting state tachycardia are evident. As clinical CAN progresses, orthostatic hypotension becomes apparent.5,18,20 The standard CARTs may be used to obtain an autonomic neuropathy score to assess the severity of CAN and monitor its progression.1,5,19
Clinical manifestations of CAN depend on the progression of the disease. Reduced HR variability is the earliest manifestation in subclinical CAN. In clinical CAN, resting tachycardia and reduced exercise tolerance may be seen in the early stages as sympathetic tone increases.1,5,9 In early clinical CAN, an HR of 90 to 130 bpm may be noted.1,3 An HR that does not change with sleep, stress, or exercise and exhibits a poor response to adenosine suggests complete sympathetic loss seen in severe CAN and is associated with a higher risk of mortality.1,5,6 Impaired cardiac output, BP, and HR lead to exercise intolerance; therefore, cardiac stress testing is recommended before starting an exercise program.1,9 Orthostatic hypotension and sympathetic denervation of the heart are manifestations of severe CAN.3,5 Orthostatic hypotension is estimated to be present in 6% to 32% of patients with DM. Along with objective criteria such as a fall in BP ≥ 20 mm Hg, other symptoms such as dizziness, syncope, changes in vision, frequent falls, and nocturnal hypertension due to a paradoxical increase in sympathetic tone may also be seen in CAN.1,5,9
Based on a meta-analysis of 15 studies, the relative mortality risk in diabetics with CAN is 3.65. In addition, the EURODIAB study of T1DM suggests that CAN is a strong predictor of mortality even compared to other common risk factors.1,9,21,22 Specific symptoms associated with severe CAN, such as orthostatic hypotension, suggest a poor prognosis and higher risk of mortality in diabetic patients with CAN.5,23 Multiple studies have also identified an association between CAN and silent myocardial ischemia (MI). This is important because patients with DM may not report classic ischemic chest pain but may instead present with dyspnea, nausea, fatigue, cough, or other nonspecific symptoms that may be missed as symptoms of MI. A reduction in left ventricular systolic and especially diastolic function in CAN may further contribute to diabetic cardiomyopathy.1,5,21,24
Although CAN predisposes diabetic patients to life-threatening arrhythmias and sudden death, it is still not known whether it is an independent predictor of mortality.1,21,25,26 Diabetes is associated with almost a threefold higher risk of peri- and intraoperative cardiovascular complications, and diabetes-related CAN confers an added risk of hemodynamic compromise and cardiac arrest, especially with the use of anesthesia.1,2,6 Some studies suggest an association between ischemic stroke and abnormalities in HR variability or with a diagnosis of CAN in general.5,9,27 Most studies also report that CAN may be an independent predictor of progressive nephropathy associated with DM.1,4
In general, there are two therapeutic approaches targeting CAN: one aimed at preventing the development or progression of CAN and one targeting symptomatic control of CAN in DM.25 In the DCCT/EDIC study, intensive glycemic control in T1DM reduced the incidence of CAN by more than 50% initially, and although CAN prevalence increased, the benefit was maintained 13 to 14 years out.1,5,8,9,28 It is less extensively proven that tighter glucose control may be able to reduce the progression of CAN in T2DM; however, weight loss and exercise are known to have a favorable effect.4-6,29,30 Vitamin E and C peptide have been evaluated in smaller studies and have demonstrated some benefit in slowing the progression of CAN.5,6,30 In addition, selective beta blockers may be used effectively in patients with resting tachycardia.2,6,28
Orthostatic hypotension associated with severe CAN is treated symptomatically.5,6,23,31 Nonpharmacological treatments include physical maneuvers such as squatting, slow changes in posture, or lifestyle changes such as avoiding heavy carbohydrate-rich meals or increasing fluid intake.5,31 Pharmacological interventions may be necessary if the former fail. Midodrine, an alpha-1 adrenergic agonist, is the only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug administration for symptomatic hypotension.1,18 The main adverse effects are paresthesia, supine hypertension, bradycardia, urinary retention, and piloerection. Fludrocortisone is a mineralocorticoid that retains sodium and water, enhances plasma volume, and increases the adrenergic sensitivity of blood vasculature.1,5,9 The adverse effects of this drug include supine hypertension, hypokalemia, heart failure, and fluid retention.1,5,9 Erythropoietin, desmopressin, somatostatin analogs, and nonselective beta blockers are other drugs that may be used for symptomatic hypotension.5,18 Therapies to reverse CAN are limited; however, early detection and lifestyle modification are important in limiting the deleterious effects from severe DM-associated CAN.32
Diabetes-related CAN causes significant morbidity and mortality and is common in both type 1 and type 2 DM. The pathophysiological mechanisms leading to CAN are multifactorial and need further study. CAN in DM can be subclinical or present with a wide range of symptoms, ranging from resting tachycardia to orthostatic hypotension. Although CAN in DM is difficult to diagnose in the hospital setting, multiple tests of autonomic function are available in the outpatient setting for screening and definitive diagnosis. CAN in DM can lead to significant morbidity and carries an increased risk of silent ischemia and perioperative mortality. Current treatment of CAN is mainly limited to glycemic control to slow progression and symptomatic treatment of orthostatic hypotension.
- Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a known complication in diabetes mellitus (DM) that remains underdiagnosed despite the high risk of morbidity and mortality associated with this disease.
- CAN is a progressive disease that may initially remain subclinical, affecting only cardiovagal function, but can progress to more severe manifestations that affect sympathetic function.
- Diagnostic testing is done through cardiac autonomic reflex tests (CARTs), which are based on heart rate, blood pressure, and sudomotor responses.
- Treatments strategies for CAN in DM are limited to preventing progression of disease and symptomatic control.

Just finished watching Juice again on Vimeo. Damn that movie never gets old. If you haven't watched it yet then I strongly suggest that you just kick back, relax, and watch this **it!
Glad I found this thread! The thing about movie lists is that they're hard to do! I'll give you these 5 movies today, but if you ask me again tomorrow it might be a different 5. Anyway, these are the 5 that come to mind today. Each has taken some root in my brain after watching them, so even if they are not truly my All-Time Top 5, they are still worthy of inclusion here because I can't think of any others, and that's worth noting too.
Here we go:
Mr. Brooks is the best thriller I've ever seen, he'll slash them, gash them, plus you have Dane Cook who is a lunatic.
Dumb and Dumber is my favorite comedy of all-time, hands down man down. It's one of the very few movies I can watch over and over, and over again.
The one that started it all, and they'll never repeat it. What a concept, what execution, what a ****ing movie.
Here is a Yugoslavian movie I remember from when I was growing up there. I saw it again later when I was older and better able to appreciate the situation in my home country, so I have to include it here, really a special film. I am not sure if there is an English translation or not, but maybe it does not matter. It captures the Yugoslavian character in a special way and I think much of this would be lost on translations anyway.
A little bit weird movie, but not very weird. Bill Murray is the man in anything he touches and in this one he had the dry humor going all the way. Classic. Take a few tokes from the old bong or roll a blunt up and enjoy this unique comedy.

After years of working in military-related careers, Moore now resides in Veterans Home
When his country called, Vaughn Moore answered.
A student at N.C. State University in 1942, Moore left school to enter the Army Air Corps. He came out of training at Army Air Forces Pilot School in Moultrie, Ga. with a second lieutenant�s commission.
His 405th Fighter Group � with Moore in a P-47 Thunderbolt, equipped with wing-mounted .50-caliber guns � was called on when times were toughest.
With the 101st Airborne surrounded at Bastogne and Gen. George S. Patton�s Third Army unable to break through the German lines in December 1944, the heavy winter weather finally cleared up. That allowed the 405th to get its planes in the air and help make a difference at a turning point in the war.
�We finished it up,� Moore said.
By the end of the war in Europe, he�d seen seven Luftwaffe pilots arrive on an American airfield within German borders, attempting to escape the Soviets on the Eastern Front. One man even brought his wife to the American lines.
And, by that time, Moore earned a promotion to first lieutenant. In all of his time in harm�s way, though, Moore said it wasn�t possible to be worried.
�You really don�t have time to think about it � too much going on,� Moore said.
After war, Moore returned to North Carolina and became a reservist.
�I had several different Reserve assignments, and it seemed like the assignments ran out, and I read that the Air Force Academy � which was brand-new then � was looking for some retired officers, reserve officers, to work what they called an �Academy liaison,� � Moore said. �So, I applied for that and got the job, for which I worked Eastern North Carolina.�
For decades, Moore would work with high school guidance counselors to find prospective Air Force cadets and help them in being qualified and getting nominated to the Academy. From there, he kept up with the cadets as much as their busy schedules at the Academy allowed him.
�I retired from that, when I had to retire from the service,� Moore said. �I had my 30 years, but then I stayed on a little more after that � they asked me to stay, in a volunteer capacity.�
And when that time was done, a friend asked Moore if he�d like to help out at the pharmacy at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro. He spent 17 years working with active-duty personnel and veterans, staying active as long as his body allowed.
It was only when he couldn�t walk anymore did he stop working at the pharmacy and moved into the N.C. State Veterans Home.
Moore retired from the Air Force as a lieutenant colonel.

Breakout Box
Name: Vaughn Moore
Rank: Lieutenant colonel, retired
Branch: Army, Air Force
Interesting fact: Moore�s unit in World War II, the 405th Fighter Group, received a Distinguished Unit Citation providing air support for the Third Army during a major tank battle, in harsh conditions, over France on Sept. 24, 1944.

Waterloo Police Investigate Convenience Store Robbery
On Tuesday, December 2, 2008 around 9:00 p.m., Waterloo Police officers responded to the Kum & Go Convenience store at 1976 Franklin Street on a report of a robbery that had just occurred.
During the investigation officers learned that two black males, in their mid to late teens, who had their faces partially covered and armed with handguns, entered the store and confronted the clerk. The black males demanded and received an undisclosed amount of money and then fled the store on foot.
The clerk was not injured during this incident and the investigation continues.

text: When we first saw Google's Trekker contraption in June (see photo above), we were impressed that the company was able to squeeze all of its Street View technology into what is essentially a high-tech backpack. Before Trekker, Google had to load an entire Subaru full of equipment in order to capture continuously panning images of city streets. But now all that image-capture and location-awareness tech can be strapped on one's back. Trekker is relatively lightweight at 35 pounds, and its 15-lens, 360-degree camera can shoot 46-megapixel images. Everything can be controlled via an Android phone, making this dynamo even more of a technological marvel than it would seem at first glance. But the Trekker isn't the only back-strapped gadget to capture Wired's collective imagination. After Google showed off its one-man-street-view-van in June, we began researching the history of gadgets and technologies that strap to one's back, and were blown away by the sheer volume of examples. Some are pure fiction, mind you, and many are variations of the basic jet pack theme. But that doesn't diminish their curiosity factor one bit. Have we missed any other back-strapped technologies? Let us know in the comments below! Additional reporting by Peter McCollough. Photo: Nathan Olivarez-Giles/WiredThe Rocketeer's Proto-Jet Pack We have to assume that humankind has fantasized about independent flight since the very first cave man saw his very first bird. Flash forward to 1982 when pin-up illustrator and comic book creator Dave Stevens conceived arguably the coolest flying back-gadget hero ever -- the Rocketeer. As Stevens' story goes, Cliff Secord, a struggling racing pilot in 1930s Los Angeles, finds a stolen, conceptual jetpack, and goes on to fight mob bosses, save his friends and love interest, and zoom through the skies with abandon. Disney made The Rocketeer into a film in 1991, and the flick has since achieved cult status. And at least one Wired reporter was so inspired by The Rocketeer that he put a bucket on his head, slid on his backpack, and jumped off a few couches as a kid. Image courtesy of Walt Disney ProductionsYves "Jetman" Rossy's Turbine-Powered Wing To hell with hang gliders: In 2006,Yves Rossy took flight with a jet-powered wing. We've been writing about Rossy, who calls himself Jetman, for years. He's flown above France, the English Channel, the Swiss Alps, in formation with jets, and even unsuccesfully over the Strait of Gibraltar. (He had to bail out, and was saved by his trusty parachute.) Rossy designs and manufacturers the apparatus itself. The wing weighs some 200 pounds, and features four separate engines that provide 200 pounds of thrust. Photo: Joe Wiecha/JetmanNorth Face Avalanche Airbag Safety System Backpack The North Face Avalanche Airbag Safety System Backpack could use a far shorter name, but it's one of the coolest real-world back-strapped gadgets we've seen. It doesn't allow you to fly and it isn't a weapon, but it can help save the lives of snow adventurers stuck in avalanches. With the pull of a ripcord, two 170-litre airbags inflate with nitrogen to push the user up to the top of an avalanche -- because no one wants to be entombed at the bottom of a mountain of snow. Photo: Mathew ScottMinority Report's Hoverpacks We can't talk jetpacks without mentioning the flying cops that appeared in 1999's Minority Report, directed by Stephen Spielberg and based on a Philip K. Dick short story of the same name. In the movie, patrol officers get around the city with "hoverpacks" complete with sirens and red-and-blue flashing lights -- much like what we see today on cop cars and motorcycles. The scene with flying cops fighting Tom Cruise while soaring between buildings is among the movie's most memorable action sequences, and speaks directly to our jetpack-loving hearts. Image courtesy 20th Century FoxJetLev Not all jetpacks run solely off jet fuel. The JetLev is powered by high-octane gasoline, but uses water to propel users as high as 30 feet about whatever ocean, lake, river or pool they're floating over. With a 200 horsepower engine running inside a small boat on the water below, water is pumped up a 33-foot hose attached to the backpack portion of the JetLev. The water moves at more than 1,000 gallons per minute, and squirts out through two large nozzles on the back-strapped assembly. As water is pumped through the pack, whoever's strapped in -- there's a five-point harness -- rises through the air. The JetLev isn't cheap at $99,500, but at this point in time, this is one of the only jetpacks you can even buy. Photo: JetLevSuper Mario's FLUDD Pack In the 2002 game Super Mario Sunshine, Nintendo's iconic plumber-adventurer strapped on a water-powered backpack that works much like the JetLev (see previous image). Just as the JetLev does in the real world, Mario's water pack -- specifically called the FLUDD, or Flash Liquidizing Ultra Dousing Device -- sprays water out of two nozzles to push its user into the air. But the FLUDD is more than a backpack. It also talks to Mario, explaining plot points in the game, and can be used to douse bad guys and other obstacles as Mario searches for Princess Peach and cleans up graffiti and pollution along the way. Image courtesy NintendoGhostbusters' Proton Packs While the first Ghostbusters film was released back in 1984, the movie's fictional tech is still cutting edge -- Apple and Google aren't yet getting into the ectoplasmic extradition business, as far as we know. The Ghostbusters team members used their back-mounted Proton Packs -- essentially particle accelerators -- to shoot bursts of energy from attached Neutrino Wands to weaken ghosts, and then pull them down into a "Ghost Trap" box, where the spirits were detained. There's no real-world equivalent here, but that's just fine by us. We ain't afraid of no ghosts. Images courtesy of Columbia PicturesDr. Octopus Robotic Tentacles Dr. Octopus is one of Spider-Man's most nefarious opponents. Otto Gunther Octavius, whom Spidey calls Doc Ock, is a nuclear physicist who bears the brunt of a horrible explosion when one of his own experiments goes awry. The accident leaves Dr. Octopus with robotic tentacles -- they're fused into his back, and offer all the tactile utility of arms and legs. Take note, dear reader: This is what can happen when back-strapped technology gets into the wrong hands. Images courtesy of Columbia PicturesFlame Thrower Compared to today's military tech like drones, military cyborgs and robotic insects, the M2 flamethrower may seem a bit crude. Two tanks full of fuel, strapped to a soldier's back, spewed out flames at a range of about 20 to 40 yards. While there were variations of the M2 used during World War II, the one depicted in the photo above shows a Marine fighting in Iwo Jima with a gun bearing two triggers -- one trigger to release fuel, and another to ignite the flame. Photo courtesy of United States Navy Naval History and Heritage CommandCondorman's Wing Suit This heavily panned 1981 Disney CIA-thriller-for-kids was centered around Woodrow Wilkins, a comic book illustrator who brings his own comic book character to life by building a retractable-winged condor suit. Sometimes it flies, sometimes it doesn't. But we wouldn't be surprised if Yves "Jetman" Rossy has a copy of this terrible movie on his shelf. And considering that Condorman woos a russian spy by the end of the movie, we're pretty sure this back-strapped gadget makes for quite the avian mating dance. Image courtesy of Walt Disney ProductionsFireball's Airborne Flamethrower With a combination jetpack-flamethrower, football star-turned-actor Jim Brown ups the back-gadget ante in The Running Man, a loose adaptation of a Stephen King novel. Brown plays the character Fireball, a game show gladiator who's charged with hunting down contestants who are conveniently culled from government prisons. Think The Hunger Games, but with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jim Brown in spandex suits. Regardless, Fireball's gadget is the perfect marriage of a jetpack and a flamethrower -- two badass technologies, back-strapped or otherwise. Image courtesy of TriStar Pictures

Marigold Calendula
Marigold's beautiful radiant flowers are astringent to the skin and have a tonifying affect.
These golden flowers are a stalwart of herbal folklore being used by women for women for many centuries.
The marigolds we use in our Love tea are grown under the vibrant Egyptian sun and hand-harvested every spring.
The botanical name for the marigold is Calendula officinalis. Calendula is derived from from the Latin word 'caledae', the root of the word calendar because these sunny little gems routinely produce flowers every month of the calendar year.

Lauren takes flight with $800,000 backing
Lauren McLeod claims to be the first Australian to cross Mongolia's Gobi Desert entirely on foot, but arguably her biggest success came after hotfooting it to San Francisco where her startup has just raised $800,000 and been accepted into the most prestigious start-up accelerator in the world.
McLeod is the co-founder of Flightfox, which connects a global network of flight booking experts (about 500 so far) with those seeking flights. Unlike travel agents, which earn commissions from travel providers, Flightfox experts get paid a flat fee by the traveller, and only when they find them the best deal.
The 27-year-old from Sydney, who grew up in Canberra, seems built for the rough and tumble of start-up life, covering 30km a day for two months on last year's Gobi trek while wearing the same clothes and watching fellow trekkers pull out due to sickness and injury along the way.
"This is tough, really tough, but what doesn't kill you ... yes, I feel much much stronger," she wrote in a blog post about her journey.
FlightFox was among the latest round of companies in the Australian start-up incubator, Startmate, but moved to the US within three months of incorporation.
It has now been accepted into the YCombinator mentoring program in Silicon Valley, which other Australians such as 99dresses founder Nikki Durkin have already participated in.
McLeod has just raised $800,000 in financing, and while many entrepreneurs have complained about being unable to find funding in Australia, half of the $800,000 came from Australian investors including Mick Liubinskas from Pollenizer.
Australian travel startups are taking off, with Melbourne-based travel search engine Rome2Rio securing $450,000 last month from Australian and overseas investors. Unlike other travel search sites, Rome2Rio includes not only flights but options for train, bus, ferry and driving.
Rome2Rio is remaining a Melbourne-based company - "US investors we spoke to all wanted us to relocate - but we wanted to stay in Melbourne," said CEO Rod Cuthbert - but Flightfox won't be heading back to Australia any time soon. Like all the other Startmate companies in the latest batch, they've incorporated in the US.
"It's not about the money, it's not about a labor shortage, and it certainly isn't about access to foreign markets," said McLeod, who has previously created and sold another travel site, Globetrooper.
"Instead, this supposed 'brain drain' is all about Silicon Valley having the richest and most meritocratic startup culture on the planet. If you care at all about tech startups, it just makes sense to spend time here. Imagine learning French and never travelling to France."
McLeod says she has travelled far and wide across six continents - the Gobi Desert trek covered over 1600km - but she had always had difficulty navigating the maze of airlines for each country and figuring out how to secure the best deals.
The idea for FlightFox came while McLeod was in La Paz, the capital of Bolivia.
"I envisaged flight experts all over the world competing against one another to find me the absolute best flight," she said.
"They'd use industry software, local offers, and tricks of the trade to uncover the lowest prices."
So that's exactly what she built, with fellow Australian co-founder Todd Sullivan.
Users enter their trip details and commit a small finder's fee of $29 for simple flights or $49 and upwards for complex flights.
The experts in the FlightFox community then compete against one another to find you the best flight. Since they work for a fixed fee and not commissions they are able to recommend airlines that don't pay commissions, such as budget providers.
McLeod says the other big advantage of FlightFox is that it uses humans to find the deals, not machines. She says regular flight search algorithms only work for the simplest of flights.
To illustrate, she gave the example of a June 2012 trip from Taiwan to Denmark, Denmark to France, then back to Taiwan. Expedia quoted $5,881, Kayak couldn't handle the query, a travel agent quoted $2950 and a Flightfox expert found a deal (with a more convenient route) for $1490.
The most interesting FlightFox customer request, McLeod said, came from someone wanting to move to another country with three cats.
"Imagine trying to achieve this with a flight website or travel agent.
The amount of effort in learning the rules about traveling with cats far outweighs the potential commissions," she said.
"But this is the beauty of crowd-sourcing. A number of Flightfox experts had travelled with pets. They knew all the regulations to help the flyer book quickly and inexpensively."

text: The alternative metal outfit Nothingface formed in 1995 in Washington, D.C. Frontman Matt Holt, guitarist Tom Maxwell, bassist Bill Gaal, and drummer Chris Houck made riveting, gnarling hard rock intertwined with heavy melodies and a brash punk rock sound. After two releases for DCide, 1997's Pacifier and 1998's An Audio Guide to Everyday Atrocity, Nothingface made their major-label debut on TVT Records with 2000's Violence. After the album was completed, Houck was replaced by Tommy Sickles, and in early 2001, Bill Gaal left the band in search of a career in record production and engineering, though he later formed the band In for the Kill. Former Deadlights bassist Jerry Montano stepped in to resume bass-playing duties. ~ MacKenzie Wilson

Doxycycline is an antibiotic that
prevents the development of parasites in the blood that cause
malaria. Doxycycline does not destroy the
Plasmodium (P.)vivaxand/or
P. ovale parasites that may remain in the liver.
You take doxycycline as a tablet (orally).
To prevent
malaria, you take doxycycline 1 to 2 days before you travel to an area where
malaria is present, daily while you are in the area, and daily for 4 weeks
after you leave the area.1
To treat malaria, doxycycline is usually
used along with quinine for 7 days.
Doxycycline is used to prevent
Doxycycline is effective in the
prevention of malaria.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor if you have:
Common side effects of doxycycline include:
Side effects can be reduced by taking the medicine during
a meal. But it is best to avoid dairy products or calcium or zinc supplements at the same time you take doxycycline, because these can affect how well your body uses the doxycycline.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug
Reference is not available in all systems.)
Doxycycline is not used for children younger than age 9, because it may stain
their teeth.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant. If you need to use this medicine, talk to your doctor about how you can prevent pregnancy.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Born: May 3, 1931, Velikiye-Bychkov, Czechoslovakia
David was born to religious Jewish parents in a small town in Ruthenia, Czechoslovakia's easternmost province, which had been ruled by Hungary until 1918. Located in the Carpathian Mountains, the town was so isolated that news from the rest of the country would arrive by a drummer who would read the news in the town's central square. David's father worked as a tailor and his mother was a seamstress.
1933-39: While my parents worked, I'd be at home having a good time. We had a beautiful home with all the necessary comforts, including an outhouse in the back. A Czech army officer lived in our home until the Hungarians annexed our province in March of 1939. After that, at school we had to pledge allegiance to Hungary. Hungarian police with feathers in their green hats patrolled our streets enforcing anti-Jewish laws.
1940-44: I was deported to Auschwitz in 1944 [and soon after was selected for deportation to the Plaszow concentration camp]. Later, at the Reichenbach camp I was crammed in an open cattle car with 150 living skeletons headed for another concentration camp. One by one they fell down and were trampled. After half died, it was possible to sit on the dead. Someone fell on me--he was dying. I hadn't had any food or water in four days. With all my remaining strength I pushed the body off and fell on top of him. He tried to push me away, but we were both too weak. In a final effort, he bit my leg and then died.
David was one of three who survived the seven-day trip to the Dachau camp. He was freed near Innsbruck, Austria, in May 1945 and emigrated to the United States in 1947.

Mizzou Kicker Looks to Earn a Scholarship
COLUMBIA -- Andrew Baggett plays one of those positions football fans seemingly only talk about when he has a bad day, but Missouri's place kicker who hopes to find a place on the scholarship list.
Andrew Baggett's new at kicking, he only picked it up late in his high school career when the football team asked the soccer team for help.
"I went over the practice with him and learned how to kick and the next year I didn't play soccer. I only played football," Baggett said.
His first experience kicking in high school didn't go as planned.
"They snapped it, and it had just rained that week, and so I go to kick it and I kick it into the back of the center's head with the ball," Baggett explained.
Baggett improved and joined Mizzou as a preferred walk-on. The work on the field is tough, but nothing compared to what Baggett faces as an engineering major who is studying calculus 3 and physics.
"I didn't realize it was going to be this much," Baggett said. "It doesn't exactly come really easy to me. I study a lot. Homework is really time consuming. It's not easy stuff."
Neither is kicking field goals, but for this walk-on the goal is to score a football scholarship.
"I do a lot of this for my family because this is my way through school. So, hopefully after this year my parents don't have to pay for school," Baggett said.
Baggett's grandpa was an engineer, but this year he isn't able to come see the Missouri games in person.
"He had knee surgery a couple of years ago and it got kind of messed up with infections so he had knee surgery a couple of months ago so he hasn't been able to come," Baggett said.
So, on Saturday's, Baggett's kicking with his grandpa on his mind.
"He got a phone call from one of his friends and he's like yeah, that's my grandson. So, it's exciting to make him proud," Baggett said.
So far this season Baggett is 8 of 12 on field goal attempts. Baggett has a career long of 46 yards and he has made his last five attempts.
