Subaru Mitejima (御幣島すばる Mitejima Subaru?) is an exorcist and Tenkō (天后? "Heaven Empress/Goddess") of the Twelve Guardians.
Subaru appears to be a young and gorgeous woman with long blonde hair with pink sidelocks, ending with ringlets and blue eyes. She is always seen with both hers eyes closed, but sometimes her eyes are opened.
She wears a white frilly gown with pink lining, black gloves and a matching large white sun hat decorated with a large pink bow, giving her an image of a high-class lady.
Subaru is a calm, cheerful, elegant, and friendly person and is rarely seen serious or angry. She enjoys teasing Rokuro and Benio's relationship. She speaks in a Kyoto dialect.
There is a running gag in anime. Subaru is shown to be a very big eater, as she was able eat all ten cups of ramen, despite actually being on a diet.
Benio Adashino
Adashino Benio was former student of Subaru. In Chapter 14, Benio recalled Subaru encouraging her to work hard to be the next head of Adashino House. However, Subaru wanted Mayura to kill Benio for her if needed, possibly for Benio being the Taiyin. In anime, most of her lessons also have Dating Tips and Lessons too.
Mayura Otomi
Mayura's first impression to Subaru is, that Subaru and her mother are similar.
After the match, Subaru forcefully take her as an apprentice. She trained Mayura in a Spartan style, even harsher than Seigen.
Subaru and Gaja seemingly met in the past. Gaja recognized Subaru when she confronted him but noting that she had aged.
Subaru is seen with Sakura taking over Mayura's Job dealing with the impurities.
In the island tournament (Hadarae Castle Games), she is matched up against Mayura and though they were meant to fight Subaru teased the latter by fondling her, to Mayura's dismay. Subaru told her not to be so nervous and tells her it's alright to attack but Mayura refuses demanding for her to put armor on herself. The heavenly commander refuses and starts attacking repeating that it's alright for her to attack her if she so wishes to, to which Mayura; after getting hit by her attacks; says that she'll end up killing her if she gets serious. This act was met with jeers from the crowd, particularly the Mitejima house who stated Mayura had no chance against their leader. Subaru asks Mayura why she was fighting anyway since her homeland had nothing to worry about but laughed after hearing the girl's reason was to keep her friends from being sad. She obliged Mayura's request to fight back and soon overwhelmed the young girl who realized her arrogance was what led to her defeat. Subaru declares aloud that she will take Mayura as her disciple and that she can still get even stronger. Subaru also quietly tells herself: 'It's possible that one day, I might have you kill that child in my place'.
Subaru first appeared on Episode 10 where she greets Rokuro and Benio in their house commenting that it needs a little more decorations and asking how was their marriage. Rokuro and Benio then begs Subaru to trains them to which she agreed just to be found out to be a Date Training rather than Exorcists Training they were asking for. As their date progress, Subaru was constantly seen teasing them especially if they failed to do what they're asedk to and when a horde of Kegare appeared she demonstrate her powers by exorcising them with ease using her guns. She then later stayed at the Twin Star Exorcists' house so that she can continue with their training (Marriage Training).
She later had a Hide And Seek game with the Twin Star Exorcists with the condition that if they win she will train them which proves to hard because Subaru already anticipated all they're possible moves and when Rokuro and Benio fought with a Giant Kegare, she was shown watching with Tatara only to be found out that it was yet another familiar for the Subaru is really watching a movie in a parking grounds.
Subaru and Tatara reported their discovery which is the broken branch of the Abe No Mihashira and She later participated in the Heavenly Blue Earth Ritual in hopes of permanently closing the dragon spots, being the one of Six Guardian that will channel the spell and having Tatara to protect her area. But unfortunately, Subaru and the others were trapped when Kuranashi turned the Spell Ritual against them and was only freed when Sae returned to the Ama No Mihashira.[1]
She is present when Mikage Tsuchimikado announced that he will be the acting Head Exorcists while Arima is missing and was later seen participating in finding Arima like the other Heavenly Commanders.
In Episode 33, Subaru and Tatara are still on the Magano trying to find Arima but only Kuranashi's lingering scent is what they found. At the Twelve Guardian's Meeting, when Tenma Unomiya comments on Miku Zeze's current age, Subaru was irritated saying that one even struck a nerve with her and when Mikage reported about the oracle saying Arima is dead she is one of the most shocked in the room but still tried not to panicked as seen when she still manage sto calm Tatara who is about to throw a tantrum.

Obama Beware. "It's Gonna Be Whispers and Rumors"
Reported by Marie Therese - March 19, 2007 -
After FOX News scurrilously attacked Sen. Barack Obama last January, the Senator from Illinois cut them off at the knees, refusing their reporters access to himself and his family. True to form, that hasn't stopped FOX's lackeys from poor-mouthing Obama and "suggesting" through innuendo that it's the Clinton camp that's responsible for leaking the nasty little details that the various hosts, panelists and guests subtly bleed out a little bit at a time. This is the classic "divide & conquer" tactic. It muddies the waters, sows suspicion and, if successful, leaves one's enemy in a demoralized, confused state.
Last December, a month before Obama made his announcement as a candidate, FOX & Friends host Steve Doocy announced that Dr. Evil himself - disgraced former Speaker of the House Tom Delay - was urging conservative bloggers to target Obama.
STEVE DOOCY: "Now, one other thing. He also urged conser - Tom DeLay himself, seen here back when he used to have a key to that big building - he urged conservative bloggers to investigate Obama because he said that - uh - he condemned Barack Obama for his quote 'Marxist, leftist voting record' and accused Obama of trying to hide his liberal leanings while on the campaign trail. Remember, right now, he's not really on the campaign trail. He's really out pushin' a book and so, while he's in this honeymoon phase with the media, where - everywhere Barack Obama goes, they just love him. Tom DeLay says you gotta go check it out." (Source: News Hounds)
Here's a sample of how FOX News plays this despicable little game of theirs.
Saturday morning during a segment entitled "Will Wall Street Support Barack Obama?", Steve Forbes compared Obama to Jimmy Carter: "Oh, I think you'll find the hedge types on Wall Street backin' him just to make sure they cover their own backsides and hoping that he will be what he really isn't. He's really - the bottom line is ... he's another Jimmy Carter. He's given no indication he understands what makes this economy move. He believes in higher taxes, believes in more spending, so he looks good - fresh new face like Carter, but disaster for Wall Street."
Later on Rich Karlgaard picked up a catchphrase used by Tom Delay in December, saying that Obama is a "positive guy" who would get a "very long honeymoon period" if he was elected President. Forbes, Karlgaard and Jim Michaels all voiced the opinion that Obama is a nicely wrapped package designed to fool voters into thinking he is a different kind of Democrat, but that, eventually, his true tax-and-spend philosophy will emerge. (The archteypical image being subliminally suggested was that Obama is "the wolf in sheep's clothing".)
Rich Karlgaard then commented that he thought Obama would win the state of California's early primary because his style would appeal to SIlicon Valley types. Steve Forbes jumped in to plant the seeds of doubt, suggesting that the Clintons - and not the conservatives/GOP - will be responsible if any dirt is thrown Obama's way.
FORBES: "He could get the nomination, but one thing about the Clintons, especially Hillary Clinton, is they know how to fight back and she'll win New York on that day. She may well win Florida and Illinois and California will go for Obama, but that contest will be decided after February 5th, not on February 5th."
David Asman picked up this theme, saying "... the Clinton machine is so powerful, not only in terms of the money that it has but the experience that it has. Not since the Kennedys have we seen a political machine this strong."
Editorial Vice President of Forbes, Jim Michaels, responded that the strength of the Clinton machine "is also a weakness because people are aware of how ruthless they are and how tough they are and I think that's one of ... Hillary's weaknesses."
(The archetypical message being reinforced here is that a strong woman is a man-eater and she through the agency of her "machine" will devour Obama.)
Asman gleefully noted that "the ruthlessness of the Clintons will come back to bite Hillary." Staff writer Michelle Green, who is young and relatively new to the Forbes panel, was clearly out of the loop. The two times she answered Asman's questions it was as though she honestly thought she was there to say something involving economics. The poor thing was like a deer caught in the headlights and I felt sorry for her. Quentin Hardy praised Obama for being quick on his feet and ready to take on all comers.
Rich Karlgaard then blew more smoke as he said that the Clintons were "too smart" to attack Obama directly, that they'd hire someone like Al Sharpton to do their dirty work for them.
The segment ended with Forbes, Hardy and Karlgaard putting Obama on notice that things are going to get a lot rougher, always stating that the attacks will come from the Clintons, never once mentioning FOX News' role or that of the GOP or the right-wing political hit squads.
Karlgaard ended the segment by saying "they're not gonna to attack him directly. It's gonna be whispers and rumors."
"Whispers and rumors" dished up daily on the FOX Tabloid Channel by a pack of jackals using an arsenal of lies, distortions, half-truths, unvetted sources, smirking grimaces, raised eyebrows, nasty giggles and all the other cheesy tricks that have reduced the FOX News Channel to the level of the National Enquirer.

Law Firm News/Pennsylvania 2009/08/06 16:18
The Legal Intelligencer has reported that Pittsburgh-based K&L Gates was hesitant to say much Wednesday about an employee who police said went on a shooting rampage Tuesday at a suburban-Pittsburgh L.A. Fitness, killing four people, including himself, and injuring nine others.
"K&L Gates is deeply saddened by last night's events, and offers its condolences to the families and friends of all who were involved in this terrible tragedy," the firm said in a statement.
K&L Gates is offering on-site counseling for employees through the firm's employee assistance program, a firm spokesman said.
The spokesman confirmed that the alleged shooter, George Sodini, 48, was a systems analyst in the finance department and had worked at K&L Gates since 1999. Prior to that, according to media reports and his profile on LinkedIn, Sodini worked at Development Dimensions International.

Considerations to Make When Choosing a Home Security Sytem
Safety is a very essential feature whether you are at home or work and that is why investing in a great security system is important so that you are able to keep intruders away. There are various things you need to consider before investing in a security system for your home. Some of the things you need to consider are briefly highlighted below.
It is important that you consider how you will be able to monitor the security system before you install it. There are home security systems that can be monitored in real time on your phone and this can be an ideal option. It is easy to be aware of any security threat when you monitor your security in real time and knowing how to do this is important.
The cost of installing a home security system is another important consideration when choosing a home security system. There are various security systems in the market and it is important that you get one that is cost effective but at the same time meets your various security needs. Value for money is a very important consideration when choosing a home security system.
Having home security systems that operate on a wireless system can be an ideal one to have. Too much wiring can be quite unsightly and confusing to keep up with. If you are able to have little or no wiring, it can be convenient for your home security system.
It is also good to know if your home security systems can be synchronized or integrated. With a synchronized security system, you are able to centralize your security operations. It becomes easy to keep up with your security updated when you have all your security information in one place.
It is important to know how the customer care and support will be like after you have installed the security system because you may need help on a few issues after the installation. It is great to know how you will go about replacing a faulty system beforehand should you have one. Equally important is knowing if the company caries out repair and maintenance on the home security system so that the security system operates optimally.
When it comes to your home security system, it is important that you choose a company that is a reputable brand. By choosing a reputable company brand, you are sure that your home security system will function well and that they will be of high quality. It is important that you do some research to know the various reputable company brands out there when it comes to investing in home security systems so that you can choose one you can rely on.

Reaching out to those who won World War II
(Column ~ 05/29/06)
I received a packet in the mail this week from Eunice (Carter) McKillip of Walnut Creek, Cal. I want to thank Eunice because her eyesight is failing and it took a special effort for her to write. Eunice and her husband, Don McKillip, have been away from McCook for many years, but they felt it important to call Gazette readers attention to the sacrifices made by the men and women who served this nation during World War II...

A Note From the Editor:
When I was twelve, before a family trip to Disney World in the summer of 1996, I picked out a book from our local library to keep me distracted during the two-day drive to Orlando, Florida. For me, as a child, picking out a book was emotional. Cover art meant more than author prestige or a convincing review on the back cover. It was a deeply personal thing. After agonizing through several rows of fiction, the book I chose was 1984. It was the year I was born.
I journeyed with Winston Smith through Carolina farm fields and uncovered the dark secrets of Big Brother near the Florida/Georgia line. There is a lot I missed out on, to be sure, reading it that young. But by the end of that novel, I was reduced to tears in the parking lot of the Wilderness Resort. Under the spreading chestnut tree. I sold you, and you sold me. It's something one doesn't forget. The thing is, despite not peeling back the literary curtain on the book, I knew enough to despise the world in which Winston and Julia lived. And I knew enough to know that Disney World wasn't that sort of place. At twelve, I found Disney a bit silly, patently uncool for a boy walking the tightrope between childhood and teenage adolescence. But after reading 1984, I made it a point to linger just a few weeks longer in boyhood. I bought the stuffed Humphrey the Bear that I knew was too expensive, I played the extra carnival game that I knew I had little chance of winning, and I went to each attraction that my seven-year-old sister wanted to see. I enjoyed that trip very much, more than I would have otherwise, due in no small part to George Orwell.
No matter what readers bring to the table, literature has the profound capacity to change the way they see and move about the world. That is why editing for Rappahannock Review was such a joy. In fact, here is the great secret of what it was like to edit the journal:
On my desk is a stack of books—books I had strong intentions of reading this semester. They include Pulitzer Prize, National Book Award, PEN/Faulkner, and Nobel Prize winners. These are things I'm told are good, that I ought to be reading. And here's the thing—I haven't read a single word from these books. Because when I had spare moments to read, I wanted to read the submissions for Rappahannock Review instead. I am reasonably confident about what I am going to receive from each of these books on my desk. I'm familiar with their creators. I'm used to their tricks, and one gets accustomed to the literary voice. But each submission for the journal was something fresh and exciting, sometimes something moving and thought provoking.
Something that took me back to the parking lot of The Wilderness Resort in 1996. Something that my stack of books wasn't going to deliver this semester. In many ways, I don't think I've changed very much since I was I twelve. Reading is still an emotional event for me. It's still an exploratory thing. And although at Rappahannock Review we chose our contributors based on stricter criteria than, say, one's year of birth, that component of excitement and discovery, the surprise, is still fresh within each poem, essay, and story. I hope all of you enjoy the surprises in our issue just as much as I have.

Air Group One Pilots
Darrel Cook
I started flying in 1991 when I got my PPL at Golden State Flying Club. Because I loved flying so much, I wanted to share that joy with others, so I obtained both my CFI and CFII.
Since I have a passion for War Birds, I joined the CAF in 2006 and Air Group One in 2009. To help the public learn more about aircraft history and the contributions made by veteran pilots, I began helping with Wings Over Gillespie and with restoration of the L-5 and maintenance on the SNJ.
I feel fortunate to have been asked to become a sponsor and pilot for the SNJ and L3 and am happily flying to airshows and giving members and the general public flights.
Besides my work with the CAF, I have served as president of Coastal Fliers—a small, nonprofit, pilot-owned flying club.
Since I never served as a military or commercial pilot, I am honored to fly with such experienced pilots in planes that I truly love. It just goes to show if you love something enough and are willing to work hard, you can do almost anything!

Appeared in Winter 1989, Vol. XV, No. 4
It has now been one hundred years since the death of cardinal Newman. He was a man of great vision and complexity who caused a storm of controversy in his day and continues to attract us by the power, breadth and beauty of his writing and his enigmatic personality.
He was born in london in 1801. His keen intellect and sensitive temperament were manifested at an early age. His love of Sacred Scripture, the classics and patristic literature led him to Oxford where he became a fellow and eventually a tutor at Oriel College.
Although Newman himself traced the start of what became known as the Oxford Movement to Keble's Assize Sermon on "National Apostasy" (July 14, 1833), he became the guiding spirit of that Movement which began publishing in September of 1833 the Tracts of the Times. On February 27, 1841 Newman issued his now famous "Tract 90: Remarks on Certain Passages in the Thirty-Nine Articles". In this tract he argued for a strong Catholic interpretation of these traditional Protestant articles. This raised a storm of opposition and was condemned by the Anglican hierarchy.

When children compare numbers they usually say "Mine's bigger or littler." Since we want them to vocalize why they know their number is larger, and to use the math vocabulary of greater than, less than, or equal, I made this math talk card to share with you.
WOW, because before this math blog party for "Math Stations" began I didn't have a blog, a google doc account, never bought graphics over the internet, purchased a blog button over the Internet from Blogaholic Designs, or had a Photobucket account! This whole experience is making me learn more about technology, blogging, and math stations. (...Gasp) I LOVE learning new things!

This is the third part of our 5 part series on the Roadmap to Becoming a Personal Chef. Make sure to get your special free bonus at the end of the article!
Jodie Foster said this in an interview, when she was asked to talk about how she approaches directing. When you think about it, this concept of great design coming from truth also applies to personal chefs as they start to design their companies.
In our last article, we talked about creating a vision for your business with a compelling brand and a strong sense of who your target clients are. Now, the next step is to come up with a great design for your business. No small feat, but if you remain true to your vision and have a nice little roadmap, it will all come together.
So where do we start? Let's focus on three main areas:
- Your business infrastructure
- You services and pricing
- Your website
There are many other details to starting your business (and we cover them in our foundational course, Becoming a Personal Chef), but these three areas are the most challenging.
So let's get started.
Structuring your Business
Yes, I'm starting off with infrastructure. It's not glamorous. Chances are you don't get excited about installing new plumbing in your house. But you do it anyway for peace of mind. Just like building a house, your business needs a strong foundation to grow on.
So one of your first decisions is how to structure your business.
Choosing a Legal Entity
You can choose from many types of legal entities. If you are in the US then you have several choices (most straightforward to complex):
- Sole proprietorship
- Partnership
- Corporation
- Limited Liability Corporation
Your choice depends on how much risk you're willing to take on. A sole proprietorship offers you no protection from someone suing you, but it's by far the most popular because it's easy to setup. We go through each option in our foundational course, but ultimately this is a good question for your lawyer (in the course, we give you some useful tips and a workbook on how to find a lawyer and an accountant for your business).
Getting Insurance, Licenses, and Taxes
You will also need to get insurance and a business license. I won't spend anymore time on this part except to say that you NEED insurance. Without insurance, you are just one accident away from losing your business and your family's life savings. Don't risk it.
You'll also need to work with your accountant regarding your taxes. Now that you own your own business, you'll need to make quarterly estimated tax payments and file your annual tax returns. Finding a good accountant is not too difficult. Reach out to friends and family for a referral. If you're still having trouble, then check out our foundational course where we include an approach with worksheets to help you with your search.
Choosing a Name and Logo
You can spend a lot of time here, but I suggest putting a reasonable time limit on choosing your name, like 2 weeks. Keep in mind that many personal chefs just use "Chef" plus their first name as their business (e.g. Chef Bonnie). If that doesn't ring true for you, then start to brainstorm and see what you come up with. Don't get too fancy. Remember that your name should work with your brand and target client groups.
You will need to get a domain name for your website that closely matches your name. If at all possible, use the ".com" top-level domain name. Otherwise, you'll spend a lot of your time reminding EVERYONE that your URL is ".com" and not ".net" or ".food."
The same applies to your logo. Give yourself 2 weeks to finalize it. In our course, Becoming a Personal Chef, we talk about how to approach developing your logo. To save you time and stress, consider finding someone to help with your logo design. There are plenty of online resources to help you and for less money than you think.
We have a lot more to cover, so let's switch gears and look at your services and pricing.
Services and Pricing
Keep it simple and don't price yourself low.
That's really all you need to know...
Choosing Your Services
When you're first starting out, it's tempting to say that you do everything - parties, weekly meal service, cooking lessons, meal planning, the list goes on and on. Instead, try to focus on one or two services and do them really well. Rest assured, you will still get inquiries for the other services you don't list.
How to go About Pricing
Probably the most common mistake you can make launching your business is to price your services too low. It's completely understandable, you are just starting out, and you can't imagine people paying that much for your service. So you go ahead and price yourself below market rate hoping to attract potential clients.
Unfortunately, your potential clients will see your pricing and wonder why you are so cheap. Price yourself at market rates or above and immediately your potential clients will assume that you're offering a quality service. You just need to OWN IT.
Creating an Amazing Website
Your number one marketing tool is your website. Most often, your site is the first thing your client looks at before deciding to contact you.
So let's start off by just acknowledging that your website is for your clients and not for you.
Your clients come to your site with a purpose. They have a challenge, and they're hoping that you can help. In the last article, we zeroed in on who your Target Client Groups are. What challenges are they facing? How can you connect with them in an emotional way?
Once you embrace the idea that your site exists to help your clients, you can begin to architect HOW.
Choosing a Hosting Platform
You have many choices for how to host your website. Wordpress and a Fully Hosted Solution like Squarespace are two great options. We talk about the differences of each platform in our course, Becoming a Personal Chef.
Similarly, you will need to use a company like Register.com to get your domain name for your business. You'll need to get an email address using a free service like Google Gmail or pay for an email under your domain name using a service like Google Apps. Some hosting providers will also offer free email so there are many choices.
Content Before Colors
Before you start playing with the design of your site, you should spend time coming up with your content. Although your website design is important, you really have nothing to work with if you haven't developed your content first.
You need to think about your:
- Home Page
- Services
- Pricing
- About Us
- Menu Highlights
- Blog
Writing for the web is a much different than what you were taught in school. Visitors prefer to scan your site which means that you have to hit them with your important message first, and then use headings, bullets, and imagery to help them find what they need.
Let your home page acknowledge your potential client's challenge. Then, have your services, pricing, and menu highlights show your visitors that you can help. Your "About Us" page should let them get to know you as a person; make a connection that you are someone they would feel comfortable inviting into their home. Lastly, your story should conclude by driving them to your "Contact Us" page where they can reach you by a contact form or contact you directly on your cell.
Don't forget to sprinkle a few testimonials (from your trial cook dates) throughout the site to provide "social proof" of your excellent service.
Lastly, you'll need to develop your blog. So many people resist starting a blog, but your blog does two incredibly important things for you. It helps improve your Google search rankings, and you can demonstrate to your clients that you're in demand and excellent at what you do.
Regardless, if you hire someone to build your site for you, you will need to come up with your content. If getting your content together sounds a little overwhelming, don't worry. Our course, Becoming a Personal Chef, helps break the process down into manageable chunks using workbooks with examples.
Choosing a Design for your Site
Once you have your content together, you can choose a template for your site. Both Wordpress and Squarespace have many different templates to choose from.
Find a template that looks like it requires the least amount of customization to add your content. Also, look for themes that are popular because they tend to be better maintained over time.
Here are a few tips when setting up your site:
- Break your text up with heading, bullets, images, and generous amounts of white space. Visitors like to scan your page for information. They get easily overwhelmed and distracted when they see large amounts of text.
- Have a strong "call to action" on every page. Your "call to action" is what you want your visitor to do. For your site, you'll want your visitor to contact you, so feature a "Contact Us" link in your main menu. Also include a "Contact Us" button or link where appropriate on your pages.
- Theme templates sometimes require finessing to get them to look just the way you want. Sometimes you have to do things counter-intuitive depending on the template author's design. Save yourself some time and frustration by reading the documentation before you start.
- Lastly, keep it simple! Remember, you are creating your site to help your visitor overcome a challenge. You only need to include enough content to get them to contact you. It's very tempting to add a lot of detail about you or your service. Instead, spend that time creating blog posts!
Closing Thoughts
Setting up your business is an iterative process. It's never going to be perfect. Just make sure it looks professional before you launch. Get a friend to take a look at it and make sure that everything is spelled correctly and that there are no blatant grammatical errors.
There are many details to address while you are designing your business. Check out our FREE Roadmap Checklist below.

Business News, — January 18, 2012 10:18 — 0 Comments
Jerry Yang, Yahoo's co-founder, has stepped down from his position on the company's board after 16 years
This article titled "Jerry Yang resigns from Yahoo" was written by Charles Arthur, for The Guardian on Tuesday 17th January 2012 23.15 UTC
The end of an internet era has come with the resignation of Jerry Yang, the 43-year-old co-founder of Yahoo, from his position on the company's board after 16 years.
Yang's reign as chief executive, between June 2007 and January 2009, included the disastrous decision – from Yahoo shareholders' point of view – to reject a $44.6bn (£29.1bn) takeover offer from Microsoft in February 2008, which priced the company at a 50% premium on its share price at the time.
Yang's rejection was based on internal forecasts that suggested that Yahoo would grow to become worth far more than Steve Ballmer's offer — which turned out to be completely wrong, a fact that was exposed by the credit crunch and the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008, followed by a downturn that has exposed Yahoo to increasing pressure from competitors such as Facebook and Twitter.
Announcing Yang's resignation — which had been expected after the appointment of ex-PayPal president Scott Thompson to the chief executive's chair on 4 January — Roy Bostock, the chairman of Yahoo's board, said: "It has been a pleasure to work with Jerry. His unique strategic insights have been invaluable. He has always remained focused on the best interests of Yahoo!'s stakeholders, including shareholders, employees and more than 700 million users. And while I and the entire Board respect his decision, we will miss his remarkable perspective, vision and wise counsel."
The role of Bostock, who chaired the board through the Microsoft bid and has been on it since 2003, is also under threat as Thompson tries to wield his new power and shake up the organisation as it struggles to build its revenues and profits. Analysts expect his departure in the near future.
Yahoo's revenues peaked in the fourth quarter of 2007, before Facebook rose to dominate the social web, and the appointment of Carol Bartz as its straight-talking chief executive – following the ousting of Yang by corporate raider Carl Icahn, who bought a huge tranche of Yahoo stock soon after the bid was announced, and then launched a proxy battle with the board.
The was no indication of where Yang will go. According to SEC filings, he still owns about 47m Yahoo shares, which at today's stock price of $15.43 would be worth roughly $725m.
Rick Summer, an analyst at the brokers Morningstar, commented: "We have been relatively pessimistic on the likelihood of any sort of major divestiture creating a great deal of upside for investors. Jerry Yang was certainly an impediment toward anything happening.
"This is a company that's been mired by a bunch of competing interests going in different directions. It was never clear what this board's direction has been. We can certainly look back to several years ago, when they were not able to get a successful exit or sale to Microsoft. We obviously know that was not a particularly prudent move. Still, however, here we are."
Brett Harriss, an analyst at Gabelli & Co, said: "This is clearly a positive. Yang has been viewed as a roadblock to a deal or even a restructuring. Hopefully it leads to new blood on the board. It provides a more objective and unemotional approach to strategic alternatives.
"It's also good for the new CEO. He has one less entrenched legacy board member to resist his vision."
Yahoo is being encouraged to divest itself of its holding in the Chinese business-to-business company Alibaba, to bolster its cash reserves while freeing it from a complex cross-shareholding.
The company has also lost ground in the broader web marketplace. Microsoft's Bing search engine, which powers Yahoo's search in an ad-sharing deal, has crept ahead of Yahoo search in absolute share in the US in the past month, suggesting that Yahoo is seeing fewer users.

Spirit | Best Colorado Resort Videographer/
Buffalo Media Group was invited out to Rawah Wilderness Ranch in northern Colorado this past July. We had absolutely no idea what was in store for us on this shoot. We had a pretty goos idea but nothing prepared us for the intense beauty and pristine wilderness of the Laramie Valley. This will certainly go down as one of the most amazing shoots we have done to date. Colorado ruins me every time…it always has surprises in store where you would least expect them. Whether it be the natural surroundings, the hospitable staff, or the eclectic groups you meet and work with, it has a special place in my soul. What amazes me most is the quality staff and ownership. It's no wonder why Rawah Wilderness Ranch has such a fabulous reputation! Thank you all for having Buffalo Media Group, we very much look forward to our next adventure with you all!

Trading Histories:700 Years of Sheffield's Castle Market
Trading Histories was a year-long community heritage project based at the Castle Market.
It was a project that everyone could be involved in – not just focussing on the building, it was about the people that have brought Castle Market to life, both traders and shoppers. We were interested in collecting stories and using them to create a people's history of Castle Market. As a result, we were able to create a vibrant record of the market through taking photographs, writing poems, drawing pictures, exploring archives and sharing memories.
Our research culminated in an exhibition celebrating the life of the market, as well as a booklet bringing our work together. This website will continue to make results publicly available as well as providing an archive of our events and activities.

One of my favorite pets is on his way to the store tonight to buy himself some male sex toys to use while he listens to my mp3s. Before he made any decisions though, he naturally asked my advice on the matter.
Of course, being a Sissy Mistress means I've had my fair share of experience with male sex toys and so I've established some strong opinions and established some solid favorites.. here they are.
Mistress' Favorite Male Sex Toys
- The Ryder by Tantus
I love Tantus… aside from making the Feeldoe, my all time favorite toy for couples, they have a full line of male sex toys made from %100 medical grade silicone with FDA approved pigments. What that means for your sexual health is that it's phthalate free, safe to put in your body, and can be sterilized with boiling or bleaching.
What that means for your experience is that it is firm enough to penetrate you without bending like a limp noodle, but soft enough to have a little give. It doesn't have any weird perfume smell and it won't irritate your tender tush.
The Ryder is three inches tall with about a two inch bulb and it's about an inch thick. While that's on the bigger end of medium for a butt plug, once inserted, the rounded top combined with the firm give of the silicone creates a pleasantly full feeling without discomfort. I know from extended research and personal experience that it's a comfortable plug for extended length insertion.
I'm a huge fan of this plug, and I'm not alone. I once saw that another Mistress had created an adorable little Tantus Ryder cell phone charm.. talk about a ringing endorsement.. no pun intended. (Ok, maybe just a little bit intended.)
2. The Booty Glove by Saporno Brothers Inc.
For once, you won't have to sit on your hand until it's numb to feel like you're getting a handy from another person. The Booty Glove is thick enough to simulate the experience for your hand, while giving your cocklet a textured treat.
So far as I can tell, the Booty Glove is the only thing Soporno Brothers makes, and I have to hand it to them for specializing.
With nubbed fingers, a ribbed palm, and a tight little mouth added to the webbing between the thumb and index finger, you'll have all sorts of fun jerking and fingering. It's textured on both sides, so you can use it for whichever hand you prefer.
It's made of Thermo Plastic Rubber (TPR) which is non-toxic and phthalate free. That means it's softer and stretchier than silicone, so it will flex as you do.. but it also means it's a little more porous, so care should be taken to clean it with anti-bacterial soap. You can NOT sterilize it with boiling water, to you may want to slip a condom over one of those nubbly little fingers if you're going to use it for insertion.
I love this toy for its versatility, though if I had one wish, it wouldbe that the mouth were a little more open. It would take a real pencil dick to be able to fuck that tiny mouth hole. ..On second though, it should be fine for you.
3. The Tube by Doc Johnson
Fuck the Fleshlight. Or better yet, fuck the Tube.
This toy is seriously the most under appreciated pocket pussy I've ever come across. It's got a tight fit that will squeeze even the slimmest pencil dick, but it has enough stretch to take a pounding from the most well endowed stud who's probably fucking your wife right now.
When it comes to male sex toys, Fleshlight has got nothing on this cock hole, and at under $20 bucks, you can buy your own fucking flashlight to hide it in and tons of extra batteries so you can see the mess you have to clean up after, too.
This toy is so simple and sooooo effective for teasing the fuck out of anyone with a dick. It's just a plain, tight tube with ribbing inside it.. but those ribs are defined enough to make you feel every one of them as they slide over your shaft and cock head. It's like packing twenty, tightly gripping strokes into each jerk.
I use it all the time for edging, because it can seriously bring a guy from zero to near orgasm in just seconds. Even my most stoic and hard to impress stud goes weak in the knees for this toy.
It's another toy made of phthalate free Thermo Plastic Elastomer so it's soft and stretchy but again, should only be cleaned with antibacterial soap or a sex toy cleaner.
4. G-Force by Tantus
A milked prostate is a healthy prostate, and while I'm a rather handy milk maid that way, it's not always easy for men to manage it on their own. Soooo.. back to my favorite sex toy manufacturer with the G-Force by Tantus. After all, what would a talk about male sex toys be without a mention of prostate massagers?
The G-Force is made of the medical grade silicone I'm so happy with and has about the same firmness and pliability at the Ryder. I say "about the same"because while they're made of the same material, the length and width of the G-Force seems to allow for a little more give along the shaft, which is to be expected.
The angle and the handle make for convenient self-milking and allows my slutty little fuck-subs to fuck themselves from a more relaxed position.
It's 10″ long and about 1.4" wide at the bulb and handle. A nice, good size for massaging without stretching too far.
For cleaning, boil, bleach, or throw it in the dishwasher.. though, you might want to check with whoever unloads the dishes, first.
5. Miracle Massager Accessory- For Him by California Exotics
Last but not least, we have.. well, half of a sex toy, really. The Miracle Massager-For Him is more of an attachment than the sex toy itself.
The Massager Accessory is a textured sleeve attached to a cup that fits on the bulb head of a Hitachi Magic Wand.
The first reason I like it is because it gives men a taste of what women enjoy when they play with what is arguably the best fucking sex toy ever invented in the history of sex… EVER! Did I say arguably? Scratch that.. anyone who would argue is demented.
This Miracle Massager Accessory turns this blessing from the gods of electric into a make sex toy that slides over the cock and gives it a good, strong, buzzzzzzzzz!
The second reason I love this toy is because, let's face it, I'm a Sissy Mistress and there's not alot that's girlier than getting off with a magic Wand.
The slight drawback that put this lovely little thing is that it's a bit of an investment, between the wand and the attachment.. and then, it may be too powerful a vibration for some people, in which case, you could invest in a speed controller. But after all that, you may find the sleeve is a little wide for your cock if you're below average, or even average width. It's just a little too much of a gamble if you're not already sure you'll like it.
But.. if you have access to a wand, or if you already know you love vibrator play, this fucker is for you.. and it most certainly is for me.
Oh.. and this is a TPR toy.
Where to find these male sex toys of which I speak?
While I believe all of these male sex toys are available on Amazon, you'll notice I've also included links to the actual manufacturers. While some of the companies have shops on Amazon, I believe it's always a case of buyer beware when it comes to things you're putting in your body. If you don't want to buy directly form the manufacturer because you found the product cheaper elsewhere, that's fair enough, but you might want to check if the place you're looking at is an authorized seller so that you don't end up with a cheap knock-off of a good quality product. ..after all, that's my ass you're fucking. Don't fuck it up.

Want more? I got you.
All the news stories mentioned in today's episode are listed with links below, so you can spend as much -- or as little -- time as you want perusing the latest happenings...
Protests with tens of thousands of people are expected in London today during President Trump's visit. Protesters will also fly that 'Trump baby' blimp.
President trump arrived in London yesterday after the NATO Summit, but he won't spend much time there today. He'll be in other areas of the UK before heading to Scotland for the weekend.
A lot has happened in the last 24 hours, though:
Before heading to London, President Trump claimed victory for the NATO Summit. Trump says he convinced NATO allies to up their spending on military "like they never have before." But leaders in France and Italy both said no new promises were actually made.
The tension didn't stop there:
Once President Trump landed in London and met with UK PM Theresa May, he also criticized her policies. He told the UK paper The Sun that her plan for Brexit will hurt future trade deals with the U.S.
Up next?

The U.S. Justice Department is reopening its investigation into the murder of Emmett TIll, the black teenager who was murdered in Mississippi more than 60 years ago. The case shocked the world and helped inspire the civil rights movement.
The NYT reports the Justice Department is opening the decades old case based on what it calls "new information." It's not clear what the new info is, though.
The two men who confessed to the killing and were acquitted by an all white jury back then are now dead.

The Justice Department is trying to stop the deal between AT&T and Time Warner.
Remember: the $85 billion deal got the OK from a judge last month.
Now, the WSJ reports the government is appealing the decision and says it would hurt competition in the pay-TV industry. AT&T says the judge's decision last month was based on the facts.
The appeals process could take months.

It's being called the world's first full-color, 3D X-rays. If you're not a doctor, you may need to prepare yourself before looking at the images.
Gizmodo reports a New Zealand company has developed this new type of medical imaging scanner. It can see not just bones, but also muscle, fat, liquids and more.
Why it matters: It could mean a better view of your insides without having to cut you open, and the possibility of noticing another health issue while looking for others.
Clinical trials will be happening soon in New Zealand.

Need a nap? The mattress company Casper hopes you say yes and are even willing to pay for it.
Casper just opened a storefront called "The Dreamery" in NY that lets you pay $25 for a 45 minute nap on one of its beds.
Techcrunch reports each bed is inside a sleep pod that is basically a big wooden 'O' with curtains and soundproof backing.
If this goes well, Casper says you may see these new nap nooks in more places, like airports.

A big 'Build-A-Bear' promotion seemed to work so well that it actually failed. Now, the company is trying to make it up to parents.
So first - what happened? The one-day promo was called "Pay Your Age," which worked like it sounds. So USA Today reports parents lined up with their young kids hoping to score a Build-A-Bear for just a buck or two, and some parents waited six hours...
Then, the company posted online that local authorities told them they couldn't accept any more guests because of safety concerns. The lines and crowds were apparently too big. The company shut down the line, and that didn't go over so well.
What now? Build-A-Bear says it gave $15 vouchers to people who were turned away, and now, anyone (even if you weren't in line) can get a voucher.

Buick may be an American brand, but China is getting the goodies first with the launch of the Buick Envision at the Chengdu Motor Show.
The Envision is a crossover utility vehicle (also known as a CUV) that slots right between the subcompact Encore and the larger Enclave. It looks a bit like a stretched Encore in some places, but for the most part carries its own identity and nifty design, like the wing-shaped spoiler, aerodynamic grille, wing-style front, and curved flank lines. Inside, leather, wood, and metal all combine to make for a very pleasant and comfortable-looking experience. If you've ever needed just a little more space for your things, and wanted more drivability than a larger vehicle offers, then the Envision is for you.
Though the Envision is launching as a Chinese-market crossover, there is a very strong chance of it arriving on North American soil as early as 2016. Buick is one of GM's most-improved brands since the recession and crossovers are one of the fastest-growing segments in the current automobile market, so it would only make sense that they bring this great new CUV stateside.
If it does make its way overseas, expect the Envision at Hatfield Buick GMC!

Hot on the heels of one of the Chinese executives in charge of the lead paint debacle killing himself, Mattel has announced even more toy recalls. This time it's not just for lead paint, but also for some magnetized toys. According to the Wall Street Journal, Mattel could be seriously damaged over this, and I for one am glad.
Check out the video message from Mattel's CEO Robert Eckert on their "Voluntary Safety Recall Facts" page (by the way, "Voluntary"? I hate these euphemisms. Some marketing d-bag must have decided "Mandatory" sounded too negative). It's a video of a guy doing everything he can to save his (and his company's) ass. Oh, and he's got kids himself, which is supposed to make me feel like he really knows what it's like when you have to explain to a two year old why he can't play with the favorite toy he got for his birthday last month.
As a parent of four children myself, I know that absolutely nothing is more important than the safety and well being of children.
(Well, that is not if you count cutting corners in China to help the profit margin of the company I run. But besides that nothing is more important. Seriously.)
See the video for yourself here. "Voluntary Safety Recall Facts: because your children are our children too" (Thank god that's not true.) [Mattel.com]

Ports Strike Early and Hang on to Beat Nuts 6-3
April 17, 2018 - California League (CalL) - Modesto Nuts News Release
Modesto, CA. - Bryson Brigman drove in three runs but the Modesto Nuts fell 6-3 against the Stockton Ports on Monday night at John Thurman Field.
Brigman smacked a RBI single for the Nuts (4-8) in the third inning. After his knock, the Nuts loaded the bases with no outs but were unable to add on against Ports' (8-4) starter Jake Bray.
The Nuts' offense didn't have any life after the third until the ninth. Brendan Butler (W, 2-0) worked five innings out of the bullpen and allowed just two runs on four hits with four strikeouts. The two runs came in the ninth. Gareth Morgan singled and Jorge Solano walked before Brigman drove them both in with a two-run triple. That knocked Butler out of the game. Andrew Tomasovish (S, 1/1) recorded the final out to finish off the game.
The Ports got to Nuts' starter Ljay Newsome (L, 2-0) for two runs in the first. Kevin Merrel tripled to start the game as part of a 4-for-5 day. He scored on Dairon Blanco's RBI triple. In the fifth, a leadoff walk came into score and Nate Mondou added a RBI single. Newsome worked five innings allowing four runs on six hits.
The Nuts continue a three-game series with the Ports on Tuesday night at John Thurman Field. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. Coverage on ModestoNuts.com will start at 6:50 p.m. Listen live online on your phone, tablet or PC.

Researchers develop first source of on-demand time-bin entangled photon pairs using quantum dot
An international team of researchers, including Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) faculty member Michael Reimer, has developed the first source of on-demand single time-bin entangled photon pairs with no possibility of producing extra unwanted pairs. Ensuring that only a single pair is produced may lead to increased security in quantum communication, improved transfer of quantum information and advances in the development of compact and scalable quantum information devices.
Quantum communication networks often rely on polarization entangled photons, strongly correlated quantum particles to transmit quantum information through an optical fibre. The polarization-entangled photons are vulnerable to thermal and mechanical disturbances in the fibre – this causes the photons to lose entanglement over long distances and disrupt the network. Unlike polarization entangled photons, time-bin entangled photons are not affected by these disturbances in the fibre, which makes time-bin entanglement ideal for robust transfer of quantum information over long distances.
Reimer, a faculty member with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo and collaborators at the Technical University of Delft created a source of on-demand single time-bin entangled photon pairs. The team used a quantum dot – a nano-sized object containing thousands of semiconductor atoms – to generate single pairs of polarization entangled photons on-demand, emitted only when triggered by a laser pulse. Next the photon pairs were sent through an interferometer to convert to time-bin entanglement.
Time-bin entangled photons can be in either the early time-bin, meaning they take the short path, or the late time-bin if they take the long path through the polarization-time-bin interface (see Figure 1). The conversion process is reversible, allowing for the time-bin entanglement to be distributed over long distances of optical fibre and then converted back to polarization entanglement for processing quantum information.
This new optical approach to generate time-bin entanglement developed by Reimer and collaborators opens up other possibilities for future research, including spin-photon entanglement distribution, entanglement purification and more. Currently, the conversion process requires a bulky laser and large optical set-up. "It's possible to embed the quantum dot into a semiconductor device and operate it electrically – then only a compact, nano-sized device would generate the time-bin entangled photons," Reimer notes.
The experiment was conducted at the Delft University of Technology, Netherlands, in the lab of Professor Val Zwiller where Reimer was a research associate at the time. The team included colleagues from Delft, University of Vienna, Austrian Academy of Sciences and University College Cork. Their paper Single pairs of time-bin entangled photons appeared in Physical Review A on September 4, 2015.

Profiting from ethics
Rank 9 S.P. Jain follows a philosophy rooted in Indian scriptures report Kiran Wadhwaeducation Updated: Sep 01, 2010 09:42 IST
Working for a monthly salary of R 1 for the last 24 years, Manesh Shrikant, the honorary dean of S.P. Jain Institute of Management & Research, walks into his office every day sharp at 8.30 am.
The 73-year-old teaches students corporate ethics through the Bhagavad Gita. The course is called Gita Shibir.
"When we select a student, it is not only based on his scores but also on his value system. That is what makes our students stand apart," said the dean.
Established in 1981, the college broke away from the University of Mumbai in 1992 to re-draw its course. This propelled it into the list of Top 10 B-schools in the country.
The philosophy of the institute is rooted in Indian scriptures.
"Breaking away from the university and going entirely private was a big step, but we believed in our philosophy," said the head of SP Jain's family management programme, Parimal Merchant.
But the residential institute faces challenges. It accepts Common Admission Test scores, which are the entrance criteria for the coveted IIMs. So, many students who come here are those who have not made it to the IIMs. Yet, an almost foolproof admission process ensures that the brightest get in, the institute says.
"We assess the potential of an individual, not his scores," said Shrikant. "It is not only the student we assess, but also the faculty members who interview him or her."
If a faculty member has admitted, say, 20 students, the progress of this group of 20 is deemed to reflect his judgment. A detailed analysis is then done on the success rate of the faculty member, and steps are taken to improve his or her judgment.
Unlike other B-schools that bank on summer placements, at S.P. Jain, students have to do their six-month internship with NGOs to learn about fieldwork — and humility.
This programme, called the development of corporate citizenship, helped the institute make it to the list of 11 management schools chosen as part of a worldwide workshop to rethink management studies after the Enron crisis in 2004.
Last year, S.P. Jain adopted 140 children of a municipal school and assigned a B-school student to mentor each child.
"MBA education can be broken into three parts: To know, to do and to be. Our candidates are work-ready from day one, and are the kinds who will roll up their sleeves and get to work," Abbasali Gabula, dean of placements, said.
Companies acknowledge this. In 2009, through the economic slowdown, the average salary was R10 lakh and in the booming markets of 2008, it was R13.96 lakh.
S.P. Jain will soon become the first B-school to get its placements audited by an external agency and declare it to the public to ensure authenticity.
The rigour instilled by the college helps students through life. "After the rigorous course at S.P. Jain, work-life (balance) was a cakewalk," said Akhil Chaturvedi, CEO, Provogue.
