[공지사항] 2008 Best Moe Tournament match table reformed.
As number of newly added characters due to missing of few series such as Mai-Otome Zwei exceed 80, match table was reformed.
It's to comply with the internal rule - when newly added characters exceed certain proportion, that match table should be reformed, due to possibility of unfairness that can be caused by putting characters in empty space for each group.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.
[Notice] 2008 Best Moe Tournament Female Division match table
Match tables for 2008 Best Moe Tournament Female Division is now available
Match will begin at 12th July as scheduled

Alright, let's see this K Saimoe nominations list... Usual disclaimer that I can only check series I've seen and I'm not going to exactly remember whether some shows meet the cutoff date for Summer series. Oh and I'm going to correct romanisations while I'm at it:
- 와카츠키 슈리, Syuri Wakatsuki, 若月朱里
Why "Syuri"? "Shuri" is much more natural.
- 츠라라, Churara, ツララ
I know that's how to pronounce it in Korean, but the original Japanese would be romanised as Tsurara. Even more so because later on, "츠유리" is correctly romanised to "Tsuyuri".
- 왕 류 밍, Wang Liu-Mei, ワン·リュ·ミン
Poor romanisation. "Ming" not "Mei"
- 호로, Holo, ホロ
Technically not wrong, but everyone is used to "Horo" not "Holo". The latter just isn't aesthetic.
- 노라 아렌트, Nola Arendt, ノーラ・アレント
Again, I know there's no difference in Asian tongues, but "Nora" does sound different to "Nola". From the anime's pronunciation, go with "Nora".
> Hmm... I note LS doesn't have many entries, because the few entries here fall under "last year's summer show, but they appeared too late to make it in last year". All the main characters already had their turn last year.
* Hang on, shouldn't Kanata (Konata's mother) be elligible this year? Or was she around last year based on a single photo? That'd be a terrible waste then, as she only got her development at the end of the series. Still... if we let her through, I'm sure there'd be plenty of Summer shows which would complain because the best moments of their main characters came after the cut-off date (but if they did well, they'd have received the benefit of it during the matches).
* I know she's not significant, but isn't Fumika's mother missing from the Shigofumi list?
- 시노부, Sinobu, しのぶ
Yes, "Si" and "Shi" both produce 'し' but it should be "Shinobu" here.
* Just to check... Asuka isn't in the Eva Remake Movie 1, but she's elligible because of Eva the series itself, right? As J Saimoe is going strictly by just the first movie this year, meaning Asuka isn't qualified for J Saimoe 2008.
- 쓰르라미 울적에 해답편, SkHigurashi no Naku Koro ni kai, ひぐらしのなく頃に 解
Is there any reason for that "Sk" prefix? Oh and capitalise the K of Kai
- 안녕 절망선생 2기, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Dainiki, さよなら絶望先生 第2期
Er, isn't it better known as Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei? Nobody says "SZS S2" - we all say "ZSZS"
* Hmm, I see Francesca isn't elligible in Allison & Lillia. That's fine, else it'd be an even zanier case than trying to get Konata's mother in by her photo.
* Manga reader's question: was Urd's Angel ever shown in AA! Megami-sama: Tatakau Tsubasa?
- 오! 나의 여신님 싸우는 날개, AA! Megami-sama: Tatakau Tsubasa, ああっ女神さまっ 闘う翼
For that matter, shouldn't we go with "Ah My Goddess" instead of the literal "AA! Megami-sama"? "Tatakau Tsubasa" can probably stay.
- 누님, Ne-sang, ネエサン
Uh..... I haven't seen this series, but this just caught my eye. No. "Nee-san". I'll assume that 'g' at the end is a typo but "Ne-" is unconventional, put the 2nd 'e'.
- 아가씨, Ojyou, オジョウ
Again, technically correct, but we're much more used to seeing "Ojou" than "Ojyou".
* Kanokon: shouldn't Chizuru's mother be in there too?
- Cornelia li Britannia
Li is capitalised for Euphie. Capitalise it for Cornelia too.
- 천자, Tianzi, 天子
Ummu, here I draw my Touhou blood: I know just about every subbing group opted for "Tianzi", but isn't "Tenshi" more natural here? Oh well, I guess "Tianzi" is more widely recognised.
* Potemayo: I know there's a girl missing. I can't remember her name, but it's the young tomboy who appears halfway into the series.
* Genshiken 2: Again, if you technically want to include all the minor characters too, that list is missing the 2 manga-club girls.
- 집주인, Ouyasan, 大家さん
"Oya-san" is much clearer
- 요시노야 선생, Yoshinoya, 吉野屋先生
Put the "-sensei" suffix. Same with Kuwabara-sensei
And finally... HATSUNE MIKU IS ACCEPTED IN K SAIMOE TOO~~~~
we're currently checking and changing things, so thanks for notifying us.:p
ps. when we says 'official', it means we follow either (if not both) official homepage or wikipedia
ps2. thanks again for help;)
関 とまり (Seki Tomari)
Haha @ "Holo". Damn that L/R confusion.
You know what, I have half a mind to make that annoying authentication code Macintosh compatible...
It's kinda lame to have to vote through Parallels...
Either way, converting .exe to .dmg is not an easy task, if possible at all. If anything, I may have to start from scratch.
Macs are much closer to Linux than Windows aren't they? Shouldn't you be starting from Linux and if all else fails, just run a Linux terminal on your Mac and see if you can get it to work from there? The main reason to get a Mac laptop at my work place is for an easier time having portable Linux.
Don't ask me, I'm the guy who sticks with Windows for the sake of keeping up with Comiket Doujin games, using a Linux desktop at work. If need be, I could get you in contact with a few colleagues of mine from work to discuss this.
Okay, question - is the Linux application provided an open-source application?
I'd guess yes, it's a tarball they provide in their link. In fact, a closed-source Linux application is an alien concept to me. Hence my answer even though I've never looked at it.
This is from ZSZS Ep 12. Do the K Saimoe officials see that as Kyonko? If so, is Kyonko elligible this year?
Also, should Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight qualify based on the release date of the OVA (Ep 6.5), which was 10 Oct 2007? I ask because I note it's available in J Saimoe this year.
ain't really sure, but unfourtunately, i don't think she'll be able to.
as long as her identity isn't clear she won't be albe to participate -
also someone informed me that when that episode was on the air, kyoko didn't even exist
ps. it seems that manabi straight was missing from our chart, so they will be included
Still, it's your guys' call - if you deem an uncertain image is not sufficient to qualify, that's a fair decision. J Saimoe may or may not decide to accept our 3 nomination votes for Kyonko - they're registered as official votes now but until she shows up in the Prelims that's tentative.
I'm with Slimeball on this one - while Kyonko is Kyonko, the official identity of the girl in question (you don't even see her face!) is unknown, and has yet to be unidentified, so I doubt Korea will accept that.
Japan, on the other hand, did accept Ayu, Nayuki, and Makoto when they appeared in AIR...

I don't care whether this qualifies as news or not, because it's awesome. It's a picture of Hunter S. Thompson, John Cusack, and Johnny Depp riding around in a convertible with a blow-up doll. Remember when Hunter took off to Las Vegas in search of the American Dream? There was no need. It was right here all along. Right here in this picture. Also, I know they stink, they're expensive, they rot your teeth, they give you wrinkles, and they're bad for you, but can any person honestly deny that cigarettes are really f*cking cool? [pic via IheartChaos]
ADDITIONAL NON-TIMELY TRIVIA: In a recent interview, Cameron Crowe said that in the boombox scene in Say Anything, the song John Cusack was playing was actually "Bonin' in the Boneyard" by Fishbone.
John Cusack is playing Fishbone's 'Bonin' in the Boneyard' in the actual scene, but when we put the movie together, it didn't work at all. He seemed like a crazed Fishbone fan who just happened to be outside her window.
Yep, that's pretty weird.

Today POLITICO Arena asks:
Paul Ryan's budget – hard-headed fiscal sanity or inhumane?
My response:
Either we discipline ourselves, painfully, or soon enough the Chinese and other lenders will do it for us, more painfully still, by refusing to loan to us any longer at currently low interest rates. And in that event, the debt service will be all consuming. Neither individuals nor nations can go down the road we're on without paying the price.
Margaret Thatcher put it plainly: "The trouble with socialism" – let's be honest, we're socializing the costs of our appetites by imposing them on our children and grandchildren – "is that eventually you run out of other people's money."
Inhumane? The inhumanity is among those demagogues who put us on this path, promising something for nothing year in and year out. Paul Ryan deserves our gratitude for biting the bullet at last. The ball is now in the court of the demagogues.

Genesee & Wyoming departs Greenwich station for Darien
Genesee & Wyoming, which has administrative offices in Rochester, N.Y., and its operations headquarters in Jacksonville, Fla., chose Darien because the office is easily accessible for staff and clients, spokesman Michael Williams said.
"The West Avenue location is convenient to the train for our employees and visitors from Manhattan," he said. "The exterior has the colonial New England charm we sought, with the wonderful proximity to Tilley Pond Park. Plus, a railroad company being located adjacent to a train station has a logical feel to it."
The company has outgrown its space in Greenwich, and it provided an opportunity to seek a less expensive location, said Williams, who did not disclose rental rate information.
The Darien space also provides room for staff growth, he said.
Genesee & Wyoming joins Lanphier Salon and Day Spa in the 18,000-square-foot building, most recently occupied by TD Bank. Lanphier, which opened this year, is leasing 9,616 square feet.
Commenting that the lease is for more than six years, Bob Gillon, president of Signature Group, a Darien commercial real estate brokerage that represents building owner Darien Station Associates, said his client spent about $2 million to remodel the building.
"Genesee & Wyoming's selection of Darien for its corporate headquarters location is a testament to both the business and lifestyle appeal of the town," he said.
Genesee & Wyoming found an ideal location because the building is a short walk to Tilly Pond Park, the rail station and downtown shops and restaurants, said Carol Wilder-Tamme, president of the Darien Chamber of Commerce.
"It's the trifecta of prime locations," she said. "Genesee & Wyoming will add an interesting bit to our business mix."

SYDNEY (MarketWatch) — Asian markets gained Monday after Greek lawmakers voted in favor of austerity measures required to secure bailout funds and avert a likely default.
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average (100000018) and South Korea's Kospi (0100) each closed 0.6% higher, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index (XJO) advanced 0.9%.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index (HSI) rose 0.5%, while the Shanghai Composite Index (000001) lagged the advance to finish flat as property stocks sold down.
Broad gains for Asia on Monday followed news that Greek lawmakers approved a package of austerity measures which international backers had demanded before signing off on 130 billion euros ($176.6 billion) worth of fresh aid.
The vote came amid violent protests in Athens against the latest round of deep spending cuts and public-sector job layoffs. Read more on the Greek austerity vote.
"Approval by the Greek parliament of fresh austerity measures overnight will be greeted with relief by markets. However, the approval did not come without major cost in the form of escalating protests and violence within Greece," said Mitul Kotecha, strategist at Credit Agricole.
"Greek worries have not managed to damage risk appetite too much, helped by relatively positive data releases and central-bank policy actions over recent weeks. This week's U.S. data releases will help to sustain this momentum," Kotecha said.
Select Asian exporters with relatively large exposure to Europe did well in Monday trading.
In Tokyo, Mazda Motor Corp.(7261) put on 1.4%, and Mitsubishi Motors Corp. (7211) MSBHY, +0.66% added 2.1%, while Esprit Holdings Ltd. (330) ESHDF, +0.00% climbed 4.5% in Hong Kong.
Notable movers on the Japanese bourse included Softbank Corp. (9984) SFTBY, +3.64% which rallied 3.5% following a Nikkei news report that the firm was likely to win new spectrum.
Tokyo-listed shares generally shrugged off data showing Japan's economy contracted by a larger-than-expected margin in the last quarter of 2011. See report on Japanese economic data.
In Hong Kong, insurers were among the leading advancers. Ping An Insurance Group Co. (2318) PNGAY, +0.75% rose 2.2%, while AIA Group Ltd. (1299) AAIGF, -0.45% added 1.9%.
However, news that the eastern Chinese city of Wuhu reversed plans to lift home-buying restrictions in effect across much of the country hit mainland Chinese property names. See report on Wuhu's policy rollback.
In Hong Kong, China Resources Land Ltd. (1109) CRBJF, -2.34% finished down 5.8%, Agile Property Holdings Ltd. (3383) AGPYY, +0.00% plunged 6.6%, Evergrande Real Estate Group Ltd. (3333) EGRNF, +2.60% surrendered 6.9%, and China Overseas Land & Investment Ltd. (688) CAOVF, +2.56% dropped 4.8%.
In Shanghai, Gemdale Corp. (600383) fell 2.9%, and Poly Real Estate Group Co. (600048) lost 3.1%.
Most major exporter shares did well in Seoul, as Samsung Electronics Co. SSNGY, +0.00% gained 2%, while Kia Motors Corp. KIMTF, +0.00% jumped 3.6%, and LG Display Co. LPL, -2.28% climbed 2.6%.
In Sydney, banks advanced with Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. (WBC) WEBNF, -2.63% finishing 1.6% higher after the lender announced it would cut 1,000 jobs in Australia. See report on ANZ job cuts.
Elsewhere in the sector, Macquarie Group Ltd. (MQG) MCQEF, +7.34% improved by 1.2%, while Westpac Banking Corp. (WBC) WEBNF, -2.63% and National Australia Bank Ltd. (NAB) NAUBF, +0.90% each rose 1.4%,
Shares in Leighton Holdings Ltd. (LEI) LGTHF, -9.49% fell 2% after the construction firm said one of its subsidiaries was being investigated by the Australian Federal Police for a potential ethical breach.

|Head Coach
|Alma Mater:
|Graduating Year:
Edward N. "Robbie" Robinson recorded a .719 winning percentage in two seasons, and his 1896 team was the first to undergo mandatory physical examinations.
During Robinson's two-year stay in Lincoln, his 1897 Nebraska club won its first outright conference title with a 3-0-0 mark in the Western Inter-State University Foot Ball Association. That NU club finished with a 5-1-0 overall record with its only loss coming in the season opener to Iowa State in Ames, 10-0.
While Robinson's career at Nebraska is brief, his storied legacy as part of Brown University's athletic program earned him a place in the College Football Hall of Fame in 1955. Robinson has been officially regarded as the "father of Brown football" by the school, a label that is made more impressive by the fact that John Heisman made a name for himself at the school.
An 1896 graduate of Brown, Robinson earned nine varsity letters for the bears, including four in football, three in baseball and two in track. Upon his graduate, he took his first coaching job at Nebraska in 1896 and led NU to a 6-3-1 record in his first season.
After posting a strong 5-1 campaign at Nebraska in 1898, Robinson returned to Brown to coach his alma mater from 1898 to 1901. He left Brown briefly to become the head coach for the Maine Black Bears in 1902, leading the team to a 6-2 record. He returned to the head coaching position at Brown from 1904 to 1907, and again took the reins as head coach from 1910 to 1925.
In his 24 years as Brown's head coach head coach, he posted a 157-88-3 record. Along the way, his 1915 Brown Bears earned a trip to the Rose Bowl.
Robinson was born Oct. 15, 1873, in Lynn, Mass., and passed away on March 10, 1945.

Dow Drop Likely Caused By Intentional Liquidity Cutoff
Bob Chapman
The initial official excuse for such a perceptions drop in the Dow was a wrong keystroke, which is ludicrous.
Then there is the almost total control by Goldman Sachs of the market and control via the Supplementary Liquidity Provider. All they have to do is cut off liquidity and the market plunges. Thus, there is no question in our minds that Goldman attacked the market and took it down to let House and Senate members know that they can make the market do whatever they please with the full cooperation of the SEC and CFTC, this convinced lawmakers that the Illuminist threat was very real. There would be no breakup of too big to fail banks and no real audit of the Fed. The public would be thrown a bone. This is a good reason why program trading has to end and why derivatives have to be abolished. This is all a reflection of two sets of justice. One for the elitists and one for us. This also shows us that crime pays. It also proves our country is under the financial control of terrorists. This power has to be taken away from these criminals. The legal way to do that is by throwing most all of Congress and the Senate out of office. Then we will have a chance to save our country. Otherwise you will see this all move into the streets.
This same cabal has arranged for Europe's $1 trillion bailout, which will not be successful and they know that. As a result the euro has fallen from $1.50 and is approaching $1.20. Could it be that the euro could go to parity? Yes, of course, it could. Then what or who is next? The pound, yen and then the dollar? Then we ask, "Who will save them?" Who will rescue the world from deflationary depression and another planned world war? You say they actually plan wars? Well, of course, they do. How do you think we were able to predict a 9/11, and the wars and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan? They were profitable diversions for the Illuminists. They kept the potboiling and sidetracked public thinking away from economic and financial problems. The propagandized and mindless public did not know they were being bamboozled again. In the meantime the Trilateralists tell us Israel should be attacking Iran, which in part proves our point. It is now just a question of when. Hasn't the world public been deceived enough? When are they going to catch on? Do we have to pound it into their heads with a hammer? Of course, in time this is going to affect the dollar, particularly versus gold, which is the world's ultimate currency. What will the world say when it discovers the US has little or no gold left? Will by that time 25% to 50% unemployed stand still and tolerate this crime? Will they riot and demand changes? Of course, they will and the elitists won't listen, which will bring about their demise, as masters of the universe. This is why November's election is so important. It is the last hope of changing our country without resorting to protest in the streets, as we are now seeing in the streets of others. What happens when Americans find out we have no gold left? That it was wasted in an attempt to cover up the seriousness of our collapsing economic and financial system that was being systematically looted. America is just as bad off as Europe. How can throwing money and credit at the system solve the problem? How can austerity solve the problem? It has all gone to far. The world has to have depression – there is no other solution. These are all legitimate questions, because no one is safe or exempt. Government cannot and does not even want to protect you. We no longer have a sovereign government; we have an ongoing criminal enterprise controlling our country. What we have seen over the past several years, what could never happen, has already happened. What is to come is going to be a nightmare.
World markets are dysfunctional and stability doesn't exist. Man set distortions and economic imbalances – a system that functions without regulation, derivatives and unbridled and unfettered speculation, surrounds us. Leveraged speculation dominates the markets, particularly debt instruments. Unfortunately, this speculation is fostered by government and central banks perpetual willingness to bail out everyone in banking and finance just to keep the system afloat.
This brings us to the dilemma of Greece again. Eurozone policymakers, bankers and governments have been caught again perpetuating imprudent lending to a profligate Greece, whose leadership for years lied to the Greeks, kept two sets of books and were aided and abetted by international elitist bankers, such as Goldman Sachs. Those in authority in the eurozone and the bankers knew exactly what was going on. They deceived everyone in the eurozone including the Greeks. They did this because they knew the public would be called upon to bail them out in a European version of TARP, which was used to bailout the American financial community that was elitist connected. Our markets have been dominated by this cabal of crooks for the past 15 years. They held one interest rate for all to the limits, and the result of that is the deplorable financial condition not only in Greece, but in Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy as well. This situation was allowed to flourish. The ECB should get no sympathy, because they did what they did knowingly. They have been monetizing just like the Federal Reserve for the past seven years. The creation of money and credit slowed over the past year, but it will have to resume if Europe and the US expect to survive financially and economically.
Even with the problems we have seen over the past two years and 10 months, now those in Europe you would think would realize how serious these situations are. Now we have debtors in trouble having to lend to serious debtors in more serious trouble. That surely doesn't make things better; it makes them worse. Incidentally, these are the people who caused the problems in the first place. They knew and we know, no matter what they say that their policies are unsound, unstable and unsustainable. As a result they are faced with a collapsing market for sovereign debt, which is affecting other debt and stocks worldwide. The fact that the Fed failed to solve the credit crisis and affect a recovery tells us that they are ineffective and the ECB is no more competent as well. Debt contagion is on and will sweep the world. Dead beats are dead beats even if they are sovereign nations.

|Farfalle with broccoli, £0.38
This is my fifth and last day of the Live Below the Line campaign challenge.
Tomorrow I can go back to my 'normal' diet, so I will be able to eat meat, fresh vegetables and fruit.
I will not have to plan my meals so carefully, meaning that I am a very lucky person.
Before taking on this challenge, I never realised how hard is living 'below the line'.
Now I understand why people living in extreme poverty have to eat rice most of the times (cheap and filling), while we (the lucky ones) can eat whatever we want.
I also realised that if we all give up a little amount of food or drinks every day - donating the equivalent money - we could really make a difference in beating poverty.
How easy for us would be to give up a cappuccino every day, for example. £2 would make such a difference for someone else.
Something to think about...
Let's try helping beating poverty, either:
- Joining the Live Below the Line campaign,
- or, donate for me! or for anyone else. To donate for me, please follow this link.
Live Below the Line challenge - Day 5
For breakfast (£0.09) I had my usual cup of black coffee (£0.09) with half a tsp of sugar (£0.003).
LUNCH - Farfalle with broccoli, £0.38
I recommend this pasta dish to anyone taking this challenge. It's very healthy, tasty and incredibly cheap (£0.38!).
- Farfalle pasta, 100g (£0.10)
- Broccoli, 50g (£0.10)
- Extra virgin olive oil, 1tbsp (£0.05)
- Garlic, 1 clove (£0.03)
- Crashed chillies, 1tsp (£0.08)
- Salt and pepper (£0.02)
Bring 2 pots of salted water to the boil. In the first one, add the pasta and cook until al dente. Add the broccoli to the other pot and boil for 7-8 minutes, or until tender.
Drain the broccoli, reserving a glass of their water. In a small frying pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the crashed garlic and the chillies and saute until the garlic is golden but not browned. Add the broccoli, and saute for 1-2 minutes. Transfer the broccoli sauce into a food processor, season and whiz for a minute or so. If the mixture is too thick, add some of the broccoli cooking water (you will need about 5-6 tablespoons).
Transfer the broccoli pesto into the same pan where you cook them. Drain the pasta, add to the sauce and toss everything together for a minute. Transfer to warm serving plates and serve.
DINNER - Egg fried rice, £0.53
|Egg fried rice, £0.53
- Sainsbury's long grain & wild rice, 100g (£0.19)
- 1 Egg (£0.20)
- Frozen peas, 40g (£0.06)
- Vegetable oil, 2tbsp (£0.08)
Boil the rice in salted water. Drain and let cool.
Put the frozen peas in a glass of hot water and set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a wak. When the oil is almost smoking add the egg and break it up as if you are making scrambled eggs. When cooked, transfer the egg onto a bowl. Add another tbsp of vegetable oil into the wak. Heat until almost smoking. Add the rice and the drained peas, and stir-fry for about 3 minutes. Finally add the egg, a stir-fry for another minute or so. Serve immediately.
Let's try helping beating poverty, either:

I just received an email stating that the bill Governor Corbett signed 15 December 2011, will be affective
13 February, 2012.
Pennsylvania Governor Corbett signed Vital Records Bill SB-361 into law on December 15, 2011 as Act 110 of 2011. It goes into effect on February 13th, 2012. State death records more than 50 years old and birth records more than 105 years old will then be available to all at the Pennsylvania State Archives in
. However, the new law does not require that they be made available online, but now makes it legally possible to do so. We have to be vigilant in making sure the Governor and the State Archives do all they can to make sure the records are made available online and that we don't end up with the very real possibility of foot dragging or empty promises. Harrisburg
Please visit the People for Better Pennsylvania Historical Records Access (PaHR-Access) completely revised website for more information about this. Be sure to read Frequently Asked Questions for a detailed discussion and in particular When And How Can I Start Looking At These Records? for how these records can be put online at no cost to the taxpayer:http://users.rcn.com/timarg/PaHR-Access.htm

Ignoring context, Hannity called "president-elect" mentions in Blagojevich complaint "troubling"
Research ››› ››› MATTHEW BIEDLINGMAIER & TOM ALLISON
On Hannity & Colmes, Hannity asserted that President-elect Barack Obama is "all over" the criminal complaint against Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, adding, "The pres -- the word 'president-elect' is mentioned 44 times in the document. Pretty troubling." However, nowhere in the complaint was a single allegation against Obama made. Further, U.S. attorney Patrick Fitzgerald stated during a December 9 press conference that the criminal complaint "makes no allegations about the president-elect whatsoever -- his conduct."
On the December 9 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, co-host Sean Hannity asserted that President-elect Barack Obama is "all over" the criminal complaint against Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D), adding, "The pres -- the word 'president-elect' is mentioned 44 times in the document. Pretty troubling." Hannity did not explain what he found "troubling" about those mentions, nor did he note that the complaint does not allege wrongdoing by Obama in any way. Indeed, as Media Matters for America noted, prosecutor and U.S. attorney Patrick Fitzgerald stated during a December 9 press conference that the criminal complaint "makes no allegations about the president-elect whatsoever -- his conduct," and Fitzgerald cautioned the press to "not cast aspersions on people for being named or being discussed or if you learn they're being interviewed."
Also during the segment, Hannity compared the FBI audio tapes of Blagojevich to tapes released by Gennifer Flowers, saying, "Everything that we heard in the Gennifer Flowers tapes came true." However, the Los Angeles Times reported on January 30, 1992:
A nationally known expert who examined a tape-recorded conversation allegedly between Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton and a woman who claims to have had a long-term affair with him said the tape had been "selectively edited" and is "suspect at best."
"If you take this tape recording at its face value, it's misleading," said Anthony J. Pellicano, a prominent expert on tape recordings who has testified in numerous criminal cases involving tapes.
Additionally, while President Bill Clinton testified to having had "sexual relations" with Flowers on one occasion in 1977, journalist Gene Lyons wrote in a February 5, 1998, Salon.com article that Flowers had misrepresented significant aspects of her biography and her relationship with Clinton:
Among other things, Flowers' résumé claimed degrees from colleges she'd barely attended, membership in a sorority she'd never joined and jobs she'd never held. Her claim to have won the Miss Teenage America crown proved false. Much was made locally of her claim to the Star that she and Clinton had many torrid assignations during 1979 and 1980 at the Excelsior, Little Rock's fanciest downtown hotel. The Excelsior didn't exist until November 1982.
While there is not a single allegation against Obama included in the complaint, at least one of the "president-elect" mentions affirmatively undermines any suggestion of wrongdoing on Obama's part. In that instance, the complaint alleges that Blagojevich "said he knows that the President-elect wants Senate Candidate 1 for the Senate seat but 'they're not willing to give me anything except appreciation. Fuck them.' "
Below are the references to "President-elect" in the criminal complaint against Blagojevich (brackets in the original).
- Defendants ROD BLAGOJEVICH and JOHN HARRIS, together with others, attempted to use ROD BLAGOJEVICH's authority to appoint a United States Senator for the purpose of obtaining personal benefits for ROD BLAGOJEVICH, including, among other things, appointment as Secretary of Health & Human Services in the President-elect's administration, and alternatively, a lucrative job which they schemed to induce a union to provide to ROD BLAGOJEVICH in exchange for appointing as senator an individual whom ROD BLAGOJEVICH and JOHN HARRIS believed to be favored by union officials and their associates.
- Intercepted phone calls demonstrate that ROD BLAGOJEVICH, JOHN HARRIS, and others have engaged and are engaged in efforts to obtain personal gain, including financial gain, for the benefit of ROD BLAGOJEVICH and his family through the corrupt use of ROD BLAGOJEVICH's authority as Governor of the State of Illinois to fill the vacant United States Senate Seat previously held by the President-elect.
- By law, after the President-elect's resignation of his position as a U.S. Senator, which was effective on November 16, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH has sole authority to appoint his replacement for the two years remaining of the President-elect's Senate term.
- In particular, ROD BLAGOJEVICH has been intercepted conspiring to trade the senate seat for particular positions that the President-elect has the power to appoint (e.g. the Secretary of Health and Human Services).
- By this time, media reports indicated that Senate Candidate 1, an advisor to the President-elect, was interested in the Senate seat if it became vacant, and was likely to be supported by the President-elect.
- Thereafter, ROD BLAGOJEVICH analogized his situation to that of a sports agent shopping a potential free agent to various teams, stating "how much are you offering, [President-elect]?"
- Later ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated that he will make a decision on the Senate seat "in good faith . . . but it is not coming for free. . . .It's got to be good stuff for the people of Illinois and good for me." ROD BLAGOJEVICH states "[President-elect], you want it? Fine. But, its got to be good or I could always take [the Senate seat]."
- After discussing various federal governmental positions that ROD BLAGOJEVICH would trade the Senate seat for, ROD BLAGOJEVICH asked about "the private sector" and whether the President-elect could "put something together there. . . .Something big."
- Thereafter, HARRIS suggested that the President-elect could make ROD BLAGOJEVICH the head of a private foundation.
- ROD BLAGOJEVICH asked whether he could get a high-ranking position at the Red Cross. HARRIS stated that "it's got to be a group that is dependent on [the President-elect]," and that a President probably could not influence the Red Cross.
- On November 5, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH talked with Advisor A about the Senate seat. During the phone call, ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated that the President-elect can remove somebody from a foundation and give the spot to ROD BLAGOJEVICH.
- According to ROD BLAGOJEVICH, by doing this, he wanted "to send a message to the [President-elect's] people," but did not want it known that the message was from ROD BLAGOJEVICH.
- On November 7, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH talked with Advisor A about the Senate seat. ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated that he is willing to "trade" the Senate seat to Senate Candidate 1 in exchange for the position of Secretary of Health and Human Services in the President-elect's cabinet.
- ROD BLAGOJEVICH indicated in the call that if he was appointed as Secretary of Health and Human Services by the President-elect, then ROD BLAGOJEVICH would appoint Senate Candidate 1 to the open Senate seat.
- HARRIS suggested that SEIU Official make ROD BLAGOJEVICH the head of Change to Win and, in exchange, the President-elect could help Change to Win with its legislative agenda on a national level.
- HARRIS said that Change to Win will want to trade the job for ROD BLAGOJEVICH for something from the President-elect.
- HARRIS suggested a "three-way deal," and explained that a three-way deal like the one discussed would give the President-elect a "buffer so there is no obvious quid pro quo for [Senate Candidate 1]."
- ROD BLAGOJEVICH agreed it was unlikely that the President-elect would name him Secretary of Health and Human Services or give him an ambassadorship because of all of the negative publicity surrounding ROD BLAGOJEVICH.
- ROD BLAGOJEVICH asked what he can get from the President-elect for the Senate seat.
- ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated that Governor General Counsel believes the President-elect can get ROD BLAGOJEVICH's wife on paid corporate boards in exchange for naming the President-elect's pick to the Senate.
- Governor General Counsel asked, "can [the President-elect] help in the private sector. . . where it wouldn't be tied to him? . . .I mean, so it wouldn't necessarily look like one for the other."
- ROD BLAGOJEVICH said that the consultants (Advisor B and another consultant are believed to be on the call at that time) are telling him that he has to "suck it up" for two years and do nothing and give this "motherfucker [the President-elect] his senator. Fuck him. For nothing? Fuck him."
- HARRIS re-stated ROD BLAGOJEVICH's thoughts that they should ask the President-elect for something for ROD BLAGOJEVICH's financial security as well as maintain his political viability.
- HARRIS said they could work out a three-way deal with SEIU and the President-elect where SEIU could help the President-elect with ROD BLAGOJEVICH's appointment of Senate Candidate 1 to the vacant Senate seat, ROD BLAGOJEVICH would obtain a position as the National Director of the Change to Win campaign, and SEIU would get something favorable from the President-elect in the future.
- Among other things, ROD BLAGOJEVICH raised the issue of whether the President-elect could help get ROD BLAGOJEVICH's wife on "paid corporate boards right now."
- Advisor A responded that he "think[s] they could" and that a "President-elect . . . can do almost anything he sets his mind to."
- ROD BLAGOJEVICH and Advisor A discussed leaking to the same particular Chicago Sun-Times columnist that ROD BLAGOJEVICH is seriously considering Senate Candidate 5 for the open Senate seat, in order to send a message to the President-elect that there are options for the Senate seat beyond Senate Candidate 1.
- ROD BLAGOJEVICH suggested starting a 501(c)(4) organization (a non-profit organization that may engage in political activity and lobbying) and getting "his (believed to be the President-elect's) friend Warren Buffett or some of those guys to help us on something like that."
- Later in the conversation, ROD BLAGOJEVICH said he knows that the President-elect wants Senate Candidate 1 for the Senate seat but "they're not willing to give me anything except appreciation. Fuck them."
- ROD BLAGOJEVICH again raised the idea of the 501(c)(4) organization and asked whether "they" (believed be the President-elect and his associates) can get Warren Buffett and others to put $10, $12, or $15 million into the organization.
- ROD BLAGOJEVICH noted that the President-elect can ask Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and others for money for the organization.
- HARRIS said that funding the 501(c)(4) would be a lot easier for the President-elect than appointing ROD BLAGOJEVICH to a position.
- Advisor B stated that he likes the idea, but liked the Change to Win option better because, according to Advisor B, from the President-elect's perspective, there would be fewer "fingerprints" on the President-elect's involvement with Change to Win because Change to Win already has an existing stream of revenue and, therefore, "you won't have stories in four years that they bought you off."
- ROD BLAGOJEVICH explained the 501(c)(4) organization idea to the advisor, and that "[the President-elect] gets these Warren Buffett types to [fund it]."
- The advisor said he likes the Change to Win idea better, and notes that it is more likely to happen because it is one step removed from the President-elect.
- During the conversation with SEIU Official on November 12, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH informed SEIU Official that he had heard the President-elect wanted persons other than Senate Candidate 1 to be considered for the Senate seat.
- ROD BLAGOJEVICH said he wanted to be able to call "[President-elect Advisor]" and tell President-elect Advisor that "this has nothing to do with anything else we're working on but the Governor wants to put together a 501(c)(4)" and "can you guys help him. . . raise 10, 15 million."
- ROD BLAGOJEVICH said he wanted "[President-elect Advisor] to get the word today," and that when "he asks me for the Fifth CD thing I want it to be in his head."
- Also on November 13, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH talked with Advisor A. ROD BLAGOJEVICH said he wants the idea of the 501(c)(4) in President-elect Advisor's head, but not in connection with the Senate appointment or the congressional seat.
- Advisor A asked whether the conversation about the 501(c)(4) with President-elect Advisor is connected with anything else.
- Later on November 13, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH spoke with Advisor A. ROD BLAGOJEVICH asked Advisor A to call Individual A and have Individual A pitch the idea of the 501(c)(4) to "[President-elect Advisor]."
From the December 9 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:
MIKE HUCKABEE (host of Fox News' Huckabee): I think the greater issue is that the corrupt -- the corruptible person is the governor. I do not see that Barack Obama would be stupid enough to even worry with it.
HANNITY: All right. Why is he --
HUCKABEE: I just don't.
HANNITY: -- friends with all these radical --
ALAN COLMES (co-host): Here we go.
HANNITY: -- corrupt people? What -- what does that say about him?
HUCKABEE: Well, I think that his past relationships are certainly questionable. I still think Bill Ayers ought to be in prison. I think he ought to be in prison.
HANNITY: Yeah.
COLMES: Didn't we have an election? Didn't we just decide all this?
HUCKABEE: Yeah, we did. But I'm just talking about Bill Ayers. But Barack Obama, I don't think has any connection --
HANNITY: Yeah.
HUCKABEE: -- to the specific bribery issue --
HANNITY: You know what's interesting?
HUCKABEE: -- because he just has nothing to gain from it. Nothing.
HANNITY: Everything that we heard in the Gennifer Flowers tapes came true.
HUCKABEE: Yeah.
HANNITY: I wonder if we're beginning to see, perhaps, a lot of what we suspected about Barack Obama. A lot -- that I think the Tony Rezko issue is going to be a big problem for him, especially because he's all over this document. The pres -- the word "president-elect" is mentioned 44 times in the document. Pretty troubling.
HUCKABEE: But one thing let's keep in mind. You never saw the two of them out campaigning a lot together. They weren't doing a whole lot of stuff.
HANNITY: All right. Governor, thanks for being with us.

UCSB Men's Team Tries To Build On Successful Opening
The UCSB men's team will look to build on its successful opening meet to the 2010 season. On Sept. 4, the Gauchos defeated defending Big West champion and 2010 league-favorite Cal Poly in a dual meet at the Campus Lagoon, 24-31. Juan Paredes was the top collegiate finisher in the 8K race with a time of 24:42.81, the fastest 8K time by a Big West runner this season. Jeremy Acosta ran a 25:04.56 to finish third in the first meet. His time is also the third fastest 8K by a league runner this season.
Gaucho Women Favored To Win Second Big West
The UCSB women's team is favored to win its second straight Big West championship. The Riverside Invitational, which will feature four fellow-Big West schools, will be a good test, but without rival Cal Poly there, it will be tough to get a good read on how the conference race shapes up. The Mustangs edged the Gauchos on Sept. 4 at the Campus Lagoon, 24-31. In that race, UCSB's Amanda Moreno finished second to Cal Poly's Kayleigh Tyerman. Both runners broke the previous course record. Tyerman ran a 17:07.28 and Moreno clocked a 17:16.91 over the 5K course. The two times rank one-two among all league runners in 5K races this season.
UCSB Women's Team Ranked 7th In West Region
The Gaucho women's team is ranked seventh in the first USTFCCA West Region Poll.. The Gauchos are one spot ahead of fellow-Big West member UC Davis. Cal Poly is 14th and Long Beach State is ranked 15th. Washington, Oregon and Stanford are the top-three teams.
Gaucho Men Ranked 15th In West Region
The UCSB men's team is ranked 15th in the first USTFCCA Poll. Despite being picked to finish third in the Big West, the Gauchos are the fifth league team in the poll. Cal Poly is ranked fifth, UC Davis is ninth, UC Riverside is 10th and Long Beach State is 13th.

Install a set of String Saver saddles and kiss off the string-bustin' blues! String Savers are guaranteed to dramatically reduce string breakage while providing full bodies tone and up to a 25% increase in sustain.
Metal saddles bind and lock the strings in place (like a vice). String vibration causes metal fatigue on the string resulting in string breakage. String Saver saddles are impregnated with PTFE, a permanent lubricant which allows the strings to move enough to take the stress off the one fixed breaking point. The result is...your strings last and last.
Our patented String Saver Originals are made entirely of our String Saver material and give you a very balanced tone across the spectrum. People who were breaking one or two strings a night have contacted us after using String Savers and are amazed that they go weeks and months without breaking a string! They donメt have the 2K spike of a metal saddle which lets all the other highs, mids and lows come through. It opens up a whole new palette of tones and possibilities for your playing! Used by top players around the world including Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Dick Dale, Tim Reynolds, Randy Bachman, and many moreナ
String Saver Classics are made with an extremely high quality steel saddle with our patented String Saver material inserted in the string ramp. String Saver Classics preserve the classic look of a metal saddles while freeing you from the problem of breaking strings.

In the world of motor shows, there is a clear hierarchy.
Detroit, Geneva and Frankfurt, for example, are top of the tree.
But looming behind them, like a starved behemoth, is China.
With a new car market of almost 20 million a year, China is billed as motoring golden land where sales will skyrocket and costs will stay cheap. Forever.
Every car maker wants a piece of the pie, making China's annual motor show – currently being held in Shanghai - an orgy of motoring excitement.
Don't believe us?
Check out this gallery to see the highlights from the show so far.

MSU graduate student Elise Bendeniste is no stranger to parking tickets. In fact, she's got four unpaid ones, now worth hundreds of dollars.
"I have a hard time paying back these parking tickets immediately or as promptly as they ask me to," Bendeniste said.
However, a new state law going into effect May 16th will be even less forgiving.
"When we're notified by a court district that a person has three or more unpaid parking tickets, we'll place a hold on their license and that means they won't be able to renew their license until they pay off those tickets," said Fred Woodhams, spokesperson for the Secretary of State's office.
With four unpaid tickets, Bendeniste falls into that bracket. If she doesn't act before the state, she could also be liable for a 45-dollar fee to remove the hold on her license.
"It kind of does worry me. I guess I wouldn't have a choice. I'd have to take that money from somewhere else, wherever else I spend it," Bendeniste said.
That might be exactly the type of sentiment local authorities want, with the hope the new law will help recoup the cost of unpaid parking fines. As an example, MSU sent about 4100 unpaid parking tickets to the district court in 2011.
In reaction to the change in state law, Lansing resident Wesley Monroe says the law is the law and he chooses to pay off his tickets quickly.
"As long as you pay them in the same day, it's much cheaper than waiting until the next day or next week," Monroe said.
Some would argue that's the best way to go, not only to avoid a hold on their license renewal but also late fees.
Under current law, drivers must accumulate six or more parking tickets before their license registration is placed on hold.

As college students around the U.S. head for warm ocean waves and white-sand beaches this summer, Bucknellian Devon Bruzzone will be testing water wells and getting her hands dirty in the soil of rural northern Zimbabwe.
Bruzzone, a rising junior majoring in environmental studies, will spend two months working with preschools supported by the J.F. Kapnek Trust in the southern African nation. Committed to promoting health education and research in Zimbabwe, the trust supports preschools throughout the country's remote rural regions. One way it supports those schools is by building and maintaining nutrition gardens and water wells on their grounds.
"I'll be looking at soil conditions and the kind of plants that would work best in the environment they're in," Bruzzone said. "I'll also be looking at water sanitation in their wells, and for the preschools that don't have nutrition gardens or wells, suggesting the best candidates for new ones."
Bruzzone is one of 34 undergraduates whose internship is supported by the Bucknell Public Interest Program (BPIP), a Career Development Center program that awards $3,000 stipends to Bucknell students who have independently secured full-time summer internships at public interest organizations, which often cannot afford to pay interns. Since 2004, BPIP has awarded over $800,000 to more than 300 students, according to Program Director Marilyn Shull. This year, the program will support Bucknellians working with organizations in 12 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Canada and Zimbabwe. BPIP provides students valuable work experience to develop skills and strengthen Bucknell's reputation in the workplace.
Bruzzone traveled to Zimbabwe once before — during high school — to volunteer with the Kapnek Trust, but this time she will play a much more significant role in the aid it provides, drawing on her education and building skills for the career in humanitarian work she plans to pursue after graduating from Bucknell.
"To be given the opportunity to go back and work there is remarkable, and this program really made it possible for me," Bruzzone said. "Without the support I wouldn't have this opportunity."
Grace Elliott, a rising junior, will intern much closer to home — in her hometown of New Canaan, Conn., in fact — but her work's impact will be no less significant. Elliott will spend 11 weeks working full-time with Voices of September 11th, a nonprofit founded by Mary and Frank Fetchet, whose son, Brad Fetchet '99, was killed in the 2001 terrorist attack on the Twin Towers. The organization serves the ongoing needs of the families of 9/11 victims and provides support to communities in the wake of other mass tragedies.
"They share what they've learned through 9/11 with other communities and schools that are facing tragedies," Elliott said. "I think that it's very important, especially for smaller families that don't have as much of a community base for support. The organization helps them learn how to deal with these tragedies."
In addition to editing the Voices of September 11th blog and social media channels, Elliott will research security policies and recent tragedies such as the Boston Marathon bombing to help prepare the Fetchets for meetings, speeches and symposiums. As an education major with a minor in international relations, Elliott said she is deeply interested in security policy, especially as it relates to schools.
"A lot of times people don't want to be in a corporate office as an intern, sitting in a cube getting people coffee," she said. "I'll be interested in and learning from what I'm doing throughout the day."
BPIP is one of several ways the Career Development Center helps Bucknellians find internships and gain real-world experience. Other career development programs include the Capitol Hill Internship Program, which connects Bucknellians with law-makers and legislative committees in Washington, D.C., and summer networking events in Washington, D.C., and New York City that connect undergraduates with alumni.

4:10 p.m.
Officials from the Philadelphia School District's accountability office said today that they had "many concerns" about the data analysis used by the state to flag 28 district schools for possible 2009 PSSA cheating. Still, they said, the district will cooperate with the state and hopes for more complete information. Among the data it wants before coming to any conclusions are forensic analyses of the 2010 and 2011 PSSAs.
Of the 28 schools the district was directed to analyze, 13 schools bear further investigation because they have big jumps in test scores and flags for erasures on exams. The district declined to name the schools, and said it hopes the state helps conduct those investigations when the time comes. The rest of the schools do not merit further investigation, officials said.
Fran Newburg, the district's Deputy Chief of Accountability and Educational Technology, said the district "takes very seriously these allegations" but stressed that most principals and teachers are honest and do good work. Newburg encouraged any staffer with information about cheating to come forward to the district or the state with specifics. In many cases, "I think what we have is very vague allegations against schools," said Daniel Piotrowski, Executive Director of Accountability and Assessment.
Newburg also said that even if the 13 schools are taken out of the picture, the district would still have nine straight years of test score gains.
In other news, the district recently said that it is recalling 325 teachers who were laid off in June. It has 1,335 teaching positions to fill for the upcoming school year. "Over the next couple of weeks, additional teachers may be invited to return to positions in the school district," spokeswoman Elizabeth Childs said in a release. "This process follows the collective bargaining agreement providing teachers with the most seniority within a subject area priority in the re-hiring."
The Philadelphia School District has called a 2 p.m. press conference to discuss its response to a state report that flagged 28 schools for possible irregularities on the 2009 PSSAs. The district was given 30 days to investigate and respond to the report.
Presenting will be Francis Newburg, Deputy Chief of Accountability and Educational Technology, Daniel Piotrowski, Executive Director of Accountability and Assessment, and Leroy Nunery, the district's deputy superintendent. Superintendent Arlene C. Ackerman is not scheduled to attend. I'll bring you more as it happens. Follow me on Twitter @newskag, or check back here for my live Tweets.

Story highlights
- The man could bring a gun inside because he was a court employee, an official says
- The employee shot himself in the head, the U.S. Marshals Service says
- The shooter -- described only as a "middle aged white male" -- was taken to a hospital
A worker at the federal courthouse in Birmingham, Alabama, shot himself in the head Thursday, the U.S. Marshals Service said.
The man walked into the chief clerk's office at the Hugo Black U.S. Federal Courthouse "mumbling about a will. He then put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger," CNN affiliate WBMA reported, citing a source inside the courthouse. The FBI confirmed the source's report, WBMA said.
The shooter was able to bring a gun inside the building because, as an employee, he used "a different security entrance that has a different screening process," said Jill Ellis, administrative officer for the U.S. Marshals Service northern district of Alabama.
Described only as a "middle-aged white male," the shooter was taken to a local hospital after the incident. His condition was unknown, the marshals service said about 11 a.m. CT.
Birmingham police are leading the investigation into the shooting, according to the same federal agency. The incident posed "no threat to the federal courthouse," added the marshals service.

Why Work for Sequoia?
Fund: Sequoia Capital
Posted by Anonymous on 2008-01-25
I have never pitched to Sequoia. However, I am in the process of fund raising with a pretty decent idea and a beta site that has got good feedback.
From the commentators above (see below), it seems like Sequoia is a real pain to work with. I quit wherever I was working because I wanted to do my own thing. My previous work place was a typical b-school haven full of "really smart guys" who are arrogant. Sequoia seems like that. It almost seems like you work for Sequoia instead of yourself (esp. if they are going to replace you). So why would I go through it again"
Or I am reading too much into it"
Btw- Was Marc Andreeson referring to Sequoia when he said "For example, some venture firms are very entrepreneur-friendly. Others are notoriously brutal. Interestingly, financial success in the venture capital profession does not seem to be correlated to entrepreneur-friendliness."
